214 Clearing the last hurdle
"The Yehe army raided Yongfeng Mountain, and the 5,000 Korean troops gathered at the mountain pass were directly wiped out by the Yehe cavalry and the infantry troops who came later, and there was not one out of ten."
Then Yehe's army did not stay, and quickly moved south, first attacking Qingjin City, and then descending Qingjin City in three days, killing more than 6,000 enemies; Immediately along the road of the rout, they killed under the city of Jizhou. ”
"The North Korean army was caught off guard and lost the first opportunity, and it was not until after the siege of the city of Jiju that its army reacted and sent reinforcements before the city of Jiju was captured, and the armies of the two sides fell into a stalemate under the city of Jiju."
"But the defense of Jizhou has collapsed, and it is only a matter of time before it falls."
"Even after the Korean Kingdom reacts, the promise promised by our ministry to Yehebu should be fulfilled, but it may be almost difficult to go further in the future, unless our army helps Yehebu at any cost."
"Our army supported the army this time, and the goal was to encircle and suppress the strength of the Korean army, with the Jurchen army charging in front, but the damage of our army was quite acceptable."
“…… In successive battles, the Korean army was defeated by the combined forces of Yehe and our army, with more than 30,000 numbers and losses of about 20,000; The losses of our coalition forces did not exceed 8,000 in total, and more than 30,000 prisoners of war and ethnic Koreans were captured, and the spoils of war have not yet been counted......"
"Good, good!"
Li Tianyang now only cares about the results, and the strategy he gave was finally implemented by the following departments, and the results were brilliant, as long as the Yehe people can gain a foothold in Jizhou and Qingjin, then presumably the relationship between these two forces is almost difficult to ease!
"Let Qixintang Luodian and them ask, do Ye Hebu need powerful artillery, and the construction team under Qixintang's command is making rapid progress?"
"Of course, what kind of price needs to be paid, let Luodian and them discuss it themselves, after all, they are talking about business!"
"Yes!"
After solving a big problem in his heart, Li Tianyang had a little more confidence, and picked up the information about the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Shun Dynasty and looked at it in detail.
"On the seventh day of the fifth month, Luoyang City fell, more than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Dashun Dynasty in the city, and finally escaped from the city, less than 30,000 people, among which Tian Jianxiu, one of the five tiger generals of Dashun Teleportation, was killed on the spot and was beheaded by Sun Chuanting, the marshal of the Ming Dynasty."
"Under the leadership of the general Liu Zongmin and others, the fleeing army fled all the way west, fled into the border of Shaanxi, and joined Li Zicheng, the Dashun Emperor who moved the capital to Chang'an City."
"The army of the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Sun Chuanting, with Zuo Liangyu as the vanguard, continued to attack the Dashun territory, and did not doubt that it suffered a lot of losses when attacking Luoyang, but now the attack strength has been somewhat restrained, and it has lost its momentum and edge at the beginning."
"Based on the observation of my foreign guards, it is presumable that the Ming army will die down in a short period of time, and then send troops after recuperating and recuperating."
“……”
Li Tianyang quietly read all the information, his face was a little regretful, the prediction that the Ming army was about to suspend the military affairs made Li Tianyang's plan to test the Ming border defense have failed.
But fortunately, these changes have nothing to do with the overall situation, Hongmen is now honestly not ready to directly turn his face with the Ming Dynasty, if he really wants to set foot in the Central Plains, even if everything is ready, he will have to wait for a few years, and now they still have a trouble to clean up in advance.
The kingdom of Java has been feeling calm recently, but those who are attentive can feel the crisis behind the calm.
The Western countries reached a tacit agreement between Jawa and the Indonesian archipelago, and although there was no contract in black and white, everyone tacitly began to develop peacefully.
However, the Chinese merchants sensed a little malice, and the Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese, and even the British, who controlled the Strait of Malacca, were consciously or unconsciously curbing the trade of the Han caravans.
At the same time, the Chinese merchants found that Western warships cruising between the Indonesian archipelago and the Strait of Malacca became more and more frequent, especially the warships flying the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which would be found almost every time they traveled to and from the surrounding waters.
Of course, due to the fact that a fleet of Hongtang's army cruised around Indonesian waters from time to time, the Western warships in Jersey did not show any malicious intent, but the Western forces that traded between Jawa and many Sulu kingdoms in Indonesia, and the Western forces behind the Sulu kingdoms supported them were difficult for the Chinese caravans.
Suppressing the prices of goods sold by Han caravans and inflating the prices of local specialties and Western products have gradually turned into blatant acts from the previous covert operations. However, because these behaviors are more in the form of commercial competition, the Han caravans often can't catch the big black hands behind these behaviors, and the Han caravans have no choice but to join forces with each other to compete.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Hongtang fleet to threaten the indigenous kingdoms in the Indonesian archipelago for the sake of this kind of commercial behavior, after all, considering the strength and development focus of the Hongtang army, it will not have more investment in the land of Indonesia, even if it defeats this group of indigenous kingdoms once or twice, it will not change the overall situation.
And this is also a huge flaw that the local indigenous kingdoms and their supporters have long been aware of.
You must know that Hongmen has occupied the Luzon Islands for almost ten years, but looking at the development of the Luzon Islands today, it is not even less than 1/3 of the territory of the islands, it can be seen that the Hongmen itself is still a little worse, where can it be distracted to occupy and develop Indonesia, which is far more huge than the Luzon Islands.
However, for Zheng Zhilong's Flying Dragon Gang, this archipelago with thousands of islands is extremely convenient.
Westerners began to seek cooperation with each other in the Indonesian archipelago, and the income of the Wyvern gradually became more than enough to make ends meet. And the prejudice and neglect from the Governor's Mansion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands also made Zheng Zhilong have other thoughts about the cooperation between the two of them.
In the Dutch kingdom stationed in the Jawa colony, the number of the Dutch fleet has been gradually increasing for more than a year, although the Hongtang fleet has not noticed it, but as the leader of the flying dragon gang with close cooperation in the Netherlands, Zheng Zhilong has already discovered something.
The other thoughts were born not only because the Dutch people gradually became difficult for them, but also because of the close ties of the Shark Gang, who continued to provide them with excellent resources behind him.
The Flying Dragons Gang has accumulated strength in the early stage and has made a major breakthrough in finding technical talents to break through the technical blockade of Westerners; And the team of the Crazy Shark Gang Li Tiansheng half-sold and half-sent countless pig iron, grain and other materials like charcoal in the snow, which gave him the capital to stand on his own.
