The Jurchens have been fighting with the Wa people in Goguryeo for a year, and the two sides have won and lost each other, but there are too few Jurchens, and the Wa people continue to increase troops to Goguryeo. The fighting ability of the Goguryeo people is really too rubbish, perhaps because they are afraid of wolves and tigers, and they want to drive the Japanese people out, but they are also afraid that the Jurchens will occupy their nests, in short, they are afraid of cowering.

Zhu Youxiao saw that the Japanese had almost 500,000 soldiers landing in Goguryeo, so he began to prepare to take measures. Mao Wenlong captured Nurhachi's three sons, Lai Mubu, Dolgon, and Duoduo, and sent them to the capital, Zhu Youxiao did not kill them, nor did he embarrass them, but sent the three of them to the Daming Officials Academy to study for a year, and then sent Lai Mubu and Dolgon to the military branch to study. The minors captured in the nomads are just to feed them, but there is no cultivation like Zhu Youxiao, during which Zhu Youxiao has also seen them a few times, and he has not seen any bitter hatred for the Ming Dynasty, so he put his mind at ease and let the instructors teach them carefully, and to strengthen Chinese education.

Now that they've been studying for two years, it's time to put them out and use them. Zhu Youxiao asked Lai Mubu and Dolgon to find him, had a conversation with them, and told them his future plans.

Zhu Youxiao asked the two: "You two have been here for three years, how do you feel different than you there?" What did you learn? ”

Lai Mubu said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, thanks to Your Majesty for not killing, my three brothers have been grateful, Your Majesty has been kind enough to let us go to school to study, we have learned a lot of principles for officials and people, more advanced military concepts, we are really grateful, we will definitely do our best for Your Majesty, please give your Majesty's order, never spare your life." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Now I want the two of you to go to Goguryeo, assist your father in fighting against the Japanese people, and then exterminate the royal family of Goguryeo, and finally your destination is here." Zhu Youxiao took the map of the four islands of the Japanese country and pointed to the location of Hokkaido.

"The environment here is similar to Changbai Mountain, it is an independent island, if you are interested, when your population is large enough, you can also attack the Wa Kingdom in the south, or follow the Ming army to expedition farther away, where there is a wider land, I hope you can convince your father, this is the best way out I can give you, you have also seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty, I hope you are willing to integrate into this big family."

"Since Your Majesty has pointed out the future to us, my two brothers will listen to Your Majesty, and if our father can't listen to us, we will abolish him and lead our people to Your Majesty." Dolgon was even more anxious, and directly said all the words of rebellion.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Father, he must listen to your orders, we will tell him about the strength of our Ming Dynasty, and only by following Your Majesty can our people live a happier life." Lai Mubu said the same next, Zhu Youxiao didn't know that if the relatives of the captives could not be redeemed in the nomadic tribe, then there was a relationship between them, and the relatives of the captives could take refuge in the enemy if they wanted.

At the beginning of February of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, after completing the ideological work of Lai Mubu and Dolgon, Zhu Youxiao began to ask Qi Jin to transfer the warships that could be used to the north. Qi Jin supervised the construction of more than 500 Chinese and Western warships in a year's time, the larger 20 were the same size as the flagships of the captured Dutch, similar to the whale type, with a pointed beak, a big belly, and a long tail, which could not only install 24 hidden cannons, but also place mortars on the deck, which looked a bit strange and was very practical. There are also 100 medium-sized warships and 400 small warships, all of which are covered with one-inch thick iron armor on the outside, and are equipped with reinforced "iron bulls" inside, which are much faster than Western warships in the headwind, and almost slightly faster when the wind is downwind. The navy recruited 20,000 soldiers, Xiao Hailong has worked hard for a year, and he has been going to sea for training non-stop, and the steam engine alone has almost been replaced, so that the secretary of the household department has scolded him several times in the cabinet, but he did not dare to stop the training funds, because Niu Jinxing said, if you don't let my sea ships pay taxes, I will pay for the training funds of the navy, damn it, can a boatload of silver be transported back if it is not protected by the navy? However, the "Iron Bull" Machinery Factory was happy, and all the silver was sent over. After all, Xiao Hailong is a fisherman's child recruited near the coast, all of them are young people who know how to water and do not get seasick, as long as they are trained to learn to shoot cannons, be able to use the compass skillfully, and quickly calculate the distance, this is almost the same. As for the maintenance of the ship's machinery, there are disciples who graduated from the Daming Technical College who are responsible for training and training.

The mighty Ming fleet set out, and their goal was to blockade the Tsushima Strait and prevent the Japanese transport from entering Goguryeo. Zhu Youxiao's purpose was to trap all the 500,000 Japanese troops in Goguryeo, and then capture them as coolies. When the Ming Navy blocked the Tsushima Strait, Xiong Tingbi also received an order, quickly mobilized troops, assembled on the line of the Yalu River, and once Goguryeo changed, he immediately entered Goguryeo to participate in the war.

Because of the blockade of the Ming Navy, the transport ships of the Ming State could no longer provide all kinds of supplies to Goguryeo, and the warships did not dare to start a war with the Ming Navy at all, so they could only look at the other side in a daze, and could only hope that they would protect themselves and be blessed, and the Ming Army would not attack the Ming Army, but only blockade the Tsushima Strait, which was already a great luck for them.

The 500,000 soldiers who invaded Goguryeo, who lost their supplies and supplies, were in turmoil for a while. At the critical moment, it was Yanagi Zongju, the spy leader, who had an idea, and he immediately ordered all the supplies to be distributed at once, and ordered to attack with all his might at all costs, as long as he could occupy the capital of Goguryeo - Seoul, all the materials could be guaranteed, and there were also * workshops there, and there were countless grains, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, Yanagi Zongju even ordered to indulge all the actions of the soldiers, as long as they could capture Seoul.

Crazy pig assault, crazy post-war massacres, rapes, and robberies, the crazy Japanese soldiers rushed to Seoul like locusts. The Jurchens seemed to be frightened by the crazy Japanese soldiers, and soon retreated, and Seoul was exposed to the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, and the current Goguryeo king Li Liang sent his ministers out of the city to negotiate peace, but was directly killed by the Japanese soldiers, because after the peace negotiation, they could not be robbed casually, and ordinary soldiers did not care about them or not. As long as you can vent. Li Liang had no choice but to order the soldiers to desperately defend the city, and the Japanese people were crazy to attack the city, and the two sides fought bloody.

Xiong Tingbi on the Yalu River was anxious, Zhu Youxiao's will was to decide the timing of the march according to the situation of the Jurchens, and now that the Japanese soldiers had reached Seoul, the Jurchens still had no information, could Xiong Tingbi not be in a hurry? What are Racura and Dorgon doing? Why is there no news coming? Will you be able to convince Nurhachi?

After Lai Mubu and Dolgon met Zhu Youxiao, they hurried to Liaodong, where they met Mao Wenlong. They were too impressed by Mao Wenlong, a raid of hundreds of miles, outwitting Hetuara City, that was only anger and hatred in their hearts, but through three years of study in Daming, now they only have admiration in their hearts. Now Mao Wenlong is more majestic than three years ago, the soldiers of the 5,000 mountain foot cavalry battalion under his command are all extremely strong, Zhu Youzhen and Song Xiance came here half a month ago, Zhu Youzhen pseudonym *, took Song Xiance to join the army, because of Sun Chengzong's letter of recommendation, Zhu Youzhen became Mao Wenlong's personal captain, Mao Wenlong only knew that Zhu Youzhen defeated the original captain when he was competing for the captain, Song Xiance was a directly appointed military advisor, Mao Wenlong didn't care about this, he thought that as long as he was brave, he was a good soldier.

After Lai Mubu and Dolgon arrived, they saw Mao Wenlong and others, and told Zhu Youxiao's meaning and the determination of the two. Song Xiance thought that this was an opportunity, so he offered advice to Mao Wenlong, and asked Mao Wenlong to select the Jurchen soldiers of the two thousand Yehenala tribe and let them go with the two. As soon as Lai Mubu heard that it made sense, he asked Mao Wenlong to send someone to follow him, so that he could be more sure. In fact, Song Xiance meant to go to more people, if Nurhachi agreed to accept the request, it would be fine, if he didn't accept it, he would be killed directly in the camp, and then the tribe would be directly integrated, so that it would be completely finished.
