The cold wind is howling, the iron horse is clanging, and the Korean Peninsula is now snow-white, and heavy snow covers this land that is about to face war.

The water of the Yalu River is also frozen like ice, and the Jurchen iron cavalry army does not need to build pontoon bridges and other objects to safely step through the moat and drive straight into the Korean Ping'an Road.

The Jurchen army, which was the first to be launched, was led by the Jurchen general Keelta, with a main force of more than 2,000 people and more than 4,000 troops of various auxiliary soldiers, along the original chaotic route of Ding Mao, and quickly killed in the direction of Hansan City in Korea.

Immediately afterwards, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, personally drove a huge army to slowly approach along the route laid down by the dragon bone general, with a plan to completely conquer the Korean Kingdom.

The delicate jade is as warm as spring, and the Huang Taiji people who hold a delicate hand stove in their hands are middle-aged, but because they have long ceased to fight on the front line, they are a little more graceful and a little less dusty.

Huang Taiji knows that this is probably a military career that he will be difficult to enjoy in the future, as an emperor, he Huang Taiji has worked hard to manage the Qing Dynasty over the years, and the Qing Dynasty is full of talents, Wen by Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian and other Chinese Confucian students, Wu Youdaishan, Dolgon, Duoyi and other brave and warlike generals, where do you need him to be the imperial soldier between the dangerous walls.

However, the opponent he faced this time was just a small Korean country, and his strength was not enough to fear, and the significance of this action was extremely important for the Qing Kingdom.

As long as they completely conquer this stubborn guy in the heart, then their Great Qing Kingdom will be able to free up their hands and feet to ride their horses and whips, and kill the sick tiger in the south, who is already dying, and eat his territory and flesh and blood!

According to the letter sent back by the Dragonbone Pioneer Army, there has been no organized Korean army to resist its invasion until now, so that it can easily reach the border of Pyongan Douiju State.

Of course, this also has a great deal to do with the military strategy of the Korean Kingdom, and it also has a great deal to do with the Jurchen war policy.

After the Joseon Kingdom experienced the fear of the rebellion, it naturally attached great importance to the Jurchen neighbor in the northwest, and it had been silently studying this evil neighbor, and finally came to the conclusion that when there was no sufficient military strength, it must not fight with the Jurchens in the field.

Therefore, as early as after the Dingmao Rebellion, the Korean Kingdom built and strengthened countless cities between Pyongan Road and Hansan Fortress as fortresses along the way, and gave the Jurchen army a headache by waiting for work.

The Jurchens are also very aware of their shortcomings, and they have fought well with the Ming people over the years, so that although they have learned a lot of siege skills, their population base is really small, until now their total population is only five or six hundred thousand.

Even with the Mongol tribes subdued by him and the Han Chinese slaves captured by him, the total population did not exceed three million.

If such a city is attacked one after another, I am afraid that before it reaches Hanshan City, the main force of tens of thousands of their Jurchens will have been crippled, even if they are lucky enough to conquer Korea, what will they do next to face the huge dynasty in the south!

Therefore, this time to send troops to conquer the Korean Kingdom, Huang Taiji and the generals made a strategy, along the way the city can be attacked, can not be attacked, detour, the goal of the team is only in the Korean Hansan King City.

On the second day of the lunar month, the Jurchens raised troops to attack the DPRK, and now in half a month, the Jurchen vanguard army has already killed under the city of Haizhou, and it is only two or three hundred miles away from the opening of the royal city of North Korea!

At this time, the document held by Huang Taiji was written by General Keelda outside the city of Haizhou, and the general content was that the Korean envoy Cao Ju wrote a letter urging Mingji, carrying the Korean Renzu Zhiyu, to discuss the matter of peace talks.

"Hehe, what a group of guys who don't cry when they don't see the coffin!"

The document recorded in detail the detailed discussion between the dragon bone fight and the urging of Mingji, and the emperor Taiji keenly felt that this kingdom still naively thought that this war could still be easily bluffed like the previous one?

In fact, if the Koreans could stay in this southeastern frontier in peace, maintain a minimum of respect for their Qing Kingdom, and cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty, why would he Emperor Taiji bother to bring a large army to kill him.

In addition to the population, where is the North Korea itself superior to the materials and specialties that can be obtained? Compared to the vast and rich territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Kingdom of Korea was like the beggars on that land, and it did not deserve much attention from the Qing people.

"Tell the dragon bone, there is no problem in wanting peace talks, but their Korean monarch must send his son into our country as a hostage, and promise to sever all contact with the Ming Dynasty!"

"Wow!"

Huang Taiji looked at the vast expanse of land, feeling the same cold as Sheng Jing, but there was not much pleasure in his heart to conquer a place.

Only the conquest of a kingdom as strong as the Ming Dynasty would excite a king of such great talent as Huang Taiji, and now they are only taking this step to prepare for the next lofty goal.

"Your Royal Highness, this matter must not be, how can the body of the son of a thousand daughters enter that barbarous country as a hostage, I think that my dignified North Korea has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there is no such precedent, let alone a precedent because of this!"

In the royal city of Hansan in North Korea, Cui Mingji, the official who brought back the peace conditions of the Qing Dynasty, was kneeling in front of the palace and leaning on the ground.

The person who spoke on the side was a dying old man, but he was also the most prestigious figure in the two classes of the Joseon Kingdom today, and he was the leader of the government.

"Wechen is panicked, Wechen is really worried that if he can't accept the other party's proposal for peace at this time, I'm afraid that if he wants to negotiate peace again in the future, it will be extremely difficult!"

Cui Mingji, as a member of the peace faction between the DPRK and China, personally went to the camp of the Jurchen army, and after feeling the strength and barbarism of the Jurchens, he maintained a pessimistic attitude towards his own combat strength.

This is not to say that he is a person who knows no shame and only knows how to cherish his life, and who dares to go to the Jurchen generals to negotiate with the will of the monarch in person, how could he really be afraid of death!

But as a member of the kingdom and cultivated by the kingdom, Cui Mingji did not want the monarch to ruin the foundation of the entire dynasty because of a temporary dispute.

"Please Your Majesty cut off the head of the great rebel Cui Mingji, in order to appease the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the eight provinces of North Korea, and we will swear to defend the safety of the kingdom!!"

There was another person at the bottom who stood up, but it was Kim Sang-heon, the judge of Licao.
