Amin's troops had already arrived in North Korea, and Mao Wenlong himself had seen some of them from afar, but these people were wearing North Korean clothes, making Mao Wenlong think that they were Korean hillbillies watching the majesty of the Celestial Empire's army. If Mao Wenlong had looked more closely, he would have found that these hillbillies in his eyes were watching him leave the den with mocking eyes, like a group of hunters watching their prey step by step towards their trap.

The Koreans are actually not on the right path with the Jurchens, North Korea itself is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of a country can only be called the king but not the emperor. The reason why the North Koreans agreed to Amin wearing their clothes and pretending to be the local people was not because they accepted bribes from the Jurchens, because the Jurchens were not rich at that time and could not afford to give too much, and many North Korean officials were more incorruptible than the officials of the Ming Dynasty and could withstand the attack of sugar-coated shells.

Incorruptibility does not always mean integrity, and when Amin put his army with a blue flag and the army with a red flag that came to assist him, the North Koreans were completely frightened, and they thought that it was only a matter of time before so many and so powerful troops arrived, and Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army was completely destroyed, so they immediately provided a large number of Korean costumes to show their sincerity. Amin was originally an impatient person but also showed patience under the strict orders of Huang Taiji, in order to completely destroy Mao Wenlong's nest, he waited until Mao Wenlong's main force went far before starting to attack, the first battle was the Dongjiang army to relay the news of the Iron Mountain.

Amin was originally stationed in the Golden State area to defend, and it is not comfortable to be on guard against people attacking him, you have to be vigilant before the enemy comes, and you have to deal with the enemy after he comes, even if the enemy sleeps at home, you have to puff up your ears and puff up your eyes to listen and watch. After receiving the order from Huang Taiji to move the people away and prepare for the attack, Amin was extremely excited and immediately took action, asking the locals to pack up their things and drive cattle, sheep and horses into the mountains with him. Fortunately, the Mongols in the Jinzhou area were accustomed to moving since childhood, and the speed of transfer was not much slower than that of the army, so they moved to the north of Xindian, Kuandian and other six forts in less than half a month.

After migrating away, Amin first threatened the North Koreans, and then sent a part of the army into North Korea in disguise to stand by, as Huang Taiji expected, once there is something in the north, the Ming army will definitely take action, take advantage of your illness to kill you Everyone understands, especially the Dongjiang army that can't be idle, will come to take advantage of the fire to rob. If Mao Wenlong chooses the direction of the army's advance on the side of Liubao, Amin's people will block the back road, and it will be a chaotic battle in the mountains, although there is no certainty of absolute victory, but Amin is confident that his side will have a better chance of winning, after all, he is attacking and defending plus sneaking attacks from behind.

However, Mao Wenlong's caution turned the bloody battle between the two sides into a skillful wrestling, and when Mao Wenlong sent back an order to send a small army to transport siege equipment, Amin thought that this was a person who reported peace, and knew that the time for an attack had come, so he ordered to attack Tieshan first, and at the same time ordered the army ambushed in the area of Liubao to enter Korea, and prepare to plow and sweep the cave on Phi Island.

Iron Mountain is not very high, and has been jointly defended by the Dongjiang Army and a small number of North Korean troops, Mao Wenlong's troops on the mountain are only more than 1,000 people, when the North Koreans who have been guarding Iron Mountain side by side with him disappeared with a panicked and slightly apologetic face, the Dongjiang Army on the mountain knew that there was a problem. But before they could send someone back to Phi Dao to report the news, countless Jurchens roared and surrounded Tieshan, and then tens of thousands of people swarmed up with swords and swords, and the sharp blades and heavy iron hooves crushed the 1,000 Dongjiang soldiers to pieces.

Originally, the Jurchens could not come by the sea on horseback, but it happened to be winter when the sea near the coast froze, and the sea surface that was originally a sigh of admiration became a flat and wide avenue, and the remaining personnel of the Dongjiang Army immediately suffered a fatal blow. Originally, the Jurchens came from afar and couldn't figure out the truth and fiction, but they happened to capture an important person in the Battle of Iron Mountain, he was a guerrilla of the Dongjiang Army named Kong Youde. Kong Youde was also a loyal person, but he was unlucky, and he happened to be patrolling the Iron Mountain, and he didn't say anything about Amin's questioning, but after Shengsheng was forced to cut off his third finger, Kong Youde couldn't stand the torture and explained the deployment of troops on Phi Dao.

Because of Kong Youde's rebellion, Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming had just ordered someone to send away the siege equipment that Mao Wenlong wanted, and after returning, they encountered a sneak attack by the Jurchens, and only took a small number of guards and retreated to the mountain in the center of the island. Because the dragons had no leader and no one commanded the other soldiers on the island to fall into the predicament of fighting on their own, all of them died after a night of hard fighting, and Phi Dao fell into the hands of the Jurchens. Looking at the blood letter sent by Kong Youde to persuade him to surrender, Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming and others chose to go down the mountain and surrender, in the case of a huge disparity in strength and no way to retreat and no reinforcements to resist and die, there are only a very few people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming and others obviously do not belong to this kind of people.

After learning that he had just sent several ships of siege equipment and food supplies to Mao Wenlong, Amin sent the news to Huang Taiji, and then he was not idle, but sent troops to attack Anju in North Korea, and claimed to capture Wang Jing to replace the current king of Korea. The king of Joseon was named Yi Liang, who thought that he would be able to avoid disaster by sending some clothes and borrowing a way, and maybe he would be able to make a powerful new friend, who knew that this new friend would become a wolf before they could communicate with each other, and pounced viciously with his fangs bared.

The king of Korea, Mr. Li Liang, also learned some Chinese culture since he was a child, and only then did he understand what it meant in the Chinese "Book of Songs" that he learned when he was a child, "clothes are not as good as newcomers, and people are not as good as the old", and immediately sent people to Dengzhou to Beijing to ask for help from the Ming court. In the letter asking for help, he did not hide the facts, scolded himself for being frightened by fear, and begged the heavenly kingdom to send troops to help the country for the sake of paying tribute every year, otherwise Korea would really be destroyed.

Due to the delay at sea and the transit on the road, nearly half a month had passed when Tianqi received a letter of help from North Korea, and at this time he knew that Mao Wenlong's troops were in danger of losing Phi Dao, and immediately discussed with Sun Chengzong and others in the Military Affairs Yuan what to do, and the situation had changed dramatically at this time.

Da Ming has been fighting with people for so many years, and if everyone does not move or although they are moving, they are stuck together, it means that the power at this time is in a state of balance. For example, it turned out that the Ming Dynasty was in charge of everything in Liaodong, and after Nurhachi raised his army, the Ming army was defeated and retreated, which was considered to have broken the balance, and the construction of Ningyuan Pass and Lianghekou City stopped the Jurchens and Mongols from advancing, which was regarded as re-establishing a balance. Because people were aggressive, the Jurchens maintained a balance with the Ming army and then began to fight with the Mongols again, and it was not until Lin Dan Khan retreated west that a balance was established.

When the Jurchens and the Mongols established a balance, another battle between the Ming army and the Jurchens was inevitable, and what was missing was only the beginning of provoking trouble. If Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army moves from time to time, if it does not seize the opportunity to harass the Jurchens, the Dongjiang Army will lose the value of its existence, and at the same time, the troops in western Liaoning have also increased fresh blood, and there is a surplus army that has begun to attack.

The nearly decade of rebellion attracted about 200,000 Ming troops, and with the death of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan and the surrender of An, most of these 200,000 people were in danger of losing their jobs. After careful and careful screening, about 100,000 peace-loving soldiers who were tired of war chose to retire, because they had selectively learned some knowledge and skills as early as the first two years, so they were immediately organized by the government in the name of the big iron company after returning to their hometowns.

Qin Liangyu first chose 20,000 people, and she believed that the battles faced by the Southwest Military Region in the future would not be large-scale and large-depth battles, and the slow advance and harmless expansion meant that even if they faced battles, they would be short-distance and short-term battles, and there was no need to consider whether there was a rear and whether there were supplies. Under this understanding, she believes that 20,000 people are a bit much, and the number is no longer a problem, the key is the personal quality of the soldiers, and her request to Hou Liangzhu is to train these 20,000 people into elite soldiers who are ten in one battle, and generally do not fight, but will win in battle.

Ma Shilong of the Northwest Military Region asked for more than 20,000 yuan, Zhang Jingan of the Southeast Military Region asked for more than 20,000, and the remaining 20,000 or so came to Liaoxi one after another to prepare to join the Northeast Military Region.

In the process of this near-full-scale decisive battle with the Jurchens, the Ming army suffered some losses, and Lin Dan Khan's retreat without a fight made a detour that made the Ming army mistakenly believe that the Mongols were pinning down the Jurchens, and the result was that Mao Wenlong was very confident in falling into Huang Taiji's calculations. Because the Mongols who returned to the Jurchens returned to Daning and approached the newly built city of Huining, the Ming army was nervous and lost the way to obtain information, and also thought that Lin Dan Khan was fighting a decisive battle with Huang Taiji, and the Mongols in front of him were helping Huang Taiji to monitor the Ming army here and not let him help Lin Dan Khan.

Zu Dashou and Man Gui didn't know that Huang Taiji had quickly moved back, and they were still thinking about how to take Jinzhou City as soon as possible and push the defense line to the Liaohe Plain.

Huang Taiji is worthy of the name Tiancong Khan, and he should be deaf and clear-sighted in terms of information, but he also has some of his concerns, in order not to expose his strategic intentions early, he can't let the Ming army in western Liaoning know that his main force has returned, so he can only let Li Yongfang and Sun Degong stick to Jinzhou. He couldn't let Mao Wenlong know that there was a strong enemy in front of him too early, otherwise Mao Wenlong would retreat to Phi Island and even flank Amin with the army left behind on Phi Island, so he only sent Dolgon to lead 20,000 men to garrison Gaizhou, and he was only allowed to defend and not attack, neither letting Mao Wenlong break through Gaizhou and meet the Ming army in western Liaoxi under the city of Jinzhou, nor letting Mao Wenlong retreat in the face of difficulties.

It wasn't until Amin came to report that Phi Dao had been occupied and was attacking Anju in North Korea, that Huang Taiji ordered the rope to be tightened to Mao Wenlong.
