The Joseon Lee Dynasty was originally the body of a thousand households in the Yuan Dynasty, and later stole the throne of the Korean Kingdom and occupied it.

In addition, during the Wanli period, the Japanese people made several cross-sea expeditions, which almost wiped out the entire Korean Dynasty's military base, and its low-level people suffered from taxes.

Until now, there was no official system of silver money in the Joseon Kingdom, and many places still practiced the method of trading in kind, or simply using the silver money circulated in the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Dynasty.

In order to trade with the Ming maritime merchants and buy fine porcelain, silk, books and other items sought after by the upper echelons of Korea, the Koreans had to find ways to collect yellow and white items for trading purposes, except for rare treasures such as Korean ginseng and Dongzhu.

Therefore, He Yong was able to use money to open the way for Hongmen to establish such a future livestock supply line for Hongmen without having anything.

At this time, the high-level personnel of North Korea have been influenced by Chinese culture, and many incumbent North Korean officials have had the experience of studying in the Ming Dynasty, and compared with the neighbor Jurchens, the Joseon Kingdom is more loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the price they paid must not be small, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji had raised troops to crusade against the Korean on charges of "helping the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty to invade our country" and "harboring Mao Wenlong", and finally captured Yiju and other places and forced the Korean king to flee to the island for refuge.

The final result ended with the Kingdom of Korea relenting and signing the Pyongyang Oath.

A few months ago, in April, Emperor Taiji, the lord of the Later Jin Kingdom, officially changed the name of "Dajin" to "Qing", and officially changed the title of "Emperor" from Khan, thus officially opening the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Subsequently, the letter of the Qing Dynasty was conveyed to the upper and lower levels of the Korean Kingdom, hoping that they would participate in the persuasion, thinking that the historical book should be recorded.

But it didn't come to pass, not only did the Korean kingdom not participate in the persuasion action, but even on the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji's imperial ceremony, the Korean envoys Luo Xian and Li Kuo refused to bow down, and Huang Taiji was furious, thinking that the Korean king was deliberately resentful, and the Qing Dynasty was full of malice towards the Korean kingdom.

The Hongmen guards have planted a lot of spies in Houjin over the years, and now there are several spy positions that have reached a certain height of gifts, and they can access some things that are not too secret, and the information they have sent back in the past few months basically shows that the Jurchens want to do something to the North Koreans.

Li Tianyang is very appreciative of He Yong's courage to open up the horse husbandry market, as a member of Hongmen, he should have this kind of consciousness, be anxious about Hongmen's urgency, and regard Hongmen's cause as his own career.

However, it is obvious that this time He Yong opened up the horse herding route was a bit of a mistake, but this is no wonder He Yong, after all, He himself is only the person in charge of the ocean fleet, and he basically will not have access to the information of the Hongmen guards, so how can he know about the Jurchens' accosting.

Merit is merit, since He Yong has made meritorious contributions to Hongmen, the rewards that should be given are still to be issued, even if Li Tianyang is not optimistic about the future prospects of North Korea in his heart, he feels that He Yong used to make some money up and down North Korea, I am afraid it will be a loss-making transaction.

He Yong got the reward he deserved, consciously behaved in front of Li Tianyang, and happily turned around and led the team to transport several boats of livestock to Da'an Port, but Li Tianyang looked at the sea ships that were gradually moving away, and his heart was a little turbulent.

Since the Jurchen Jurchens started attacking Mao Wenlong and the Koreans in the seventh year of the Apocalypse to fight, Hongmen sent a Hongmen special combat team led by Wu Jie to fight the Jurchens head-on, and it has been eight or nine years now.

Li Tianyang knew that Hongmen's strength had been growing and developing, and the soldiers under his command had also become more and more capable, but there were too few opponents at sea, and there were basically no more worthy of Hongmen's all-out efforts.

Even if they were forced into a desperate situation by Hongmen, in fact, Hongmen did not show ten percent of their strength, and they had already taken it down; And Li Tianyang's brain is not faulty, and he will never be arrogant and choose an opponent who has a strong threat to Hongmen.

So far, the only enemies who can force Hongmen to really go all out are Yuan Laoba and his gang and the Dutch expeditionary fleet that Hongmen faced when he was still weak.

As Li Tianyang's ambition gradually grew, although she had not yet thought about competing with the Jurchens, deep down she wanted to wrestle with the Jurchens and measure the strength of the Jurchens.

Nowadays, the Hongmen team can be said to be a shotgun for a cannon, in the past, when facing the natives of Dayuan Island, Li Tianyang and them relied more on the natives of the Bengang Alliance, because only the natives who have lived in the jungle since childhood and are good at archery can fight evenly with each other in the jungle battle.

As for Hongmen's own team, unless a large army is dispatched and advanced head-on with a dignified division, only the elite of the special operations camp can gain the upper hand in small-scale operations.

But now it is different, Hongmen has built a new gun manufacturing bureau in recent years, which is responsible for the production of new flintlock pistols for Hongmen, and it is no longer as good as before to train a qualified long-range shooter, it takes a long time, and it takes only a few months to train a group of musketeers who can be used to use the ground musketeers, and the powerful flintlock pistol can be said to be where to hit within a hundred steps!

The Shengfan natives can no longer compete with Hongmen, and with the land artillery team that Shanghongmen has now developed, the Shengfan natives in Shanghai, the surviving land of Dayuan Island, can only survive in the middle of the mountains of Dayuan Island, which runs through the north and south.

Therefore, now He Yong is opening up a new livestock procurement route, so that Li Tianyang can finally find some excuses to let the Hongtang team, which has been recuperating for a long time, fully armed, and fully organized, to show its prominence on the Korean battlefield.

Among them, Li Tianyang must also have his own considerations, it is an indisputable fact that the Koreans are close to the Ming Dynasty, if the Qing people are allowed to defeat and subdue the Koreans at this time, then they Jurchens will be able to cross their horses and whip and go south to the Ming Dynasty without worries, to conquer the rich land.

But if Hongmen can help the Koreans through this crisis and make it the only remaining nail in the back of the Jurchens after Mao Wenlong, then when the Jurchens go south in the future, Hongmen can land from North Korea and lead the team to the rear of the Jurchens, so that they will be in chaos.

In this way, the Jurchens will naturally have a longer time to conquer the land of China in the future, and the Hongmen side will also have a longer time to develop and grow.
