Chapter 37 Ming troops aid Korea

Just after the Ming Dynasty put down the rebellion in the territory, the Ming Dynasty also entered a new historical period.

And the Ming Dynasty at this moment is not without troubles and problems, because the gradually rising Jurchen people in the Liaodong region have posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

And the Mongolian tribes in the north of the Ming Dynasty are also constantly harassing the border areas in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty is in North Korea in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, because the Korean Japanese have occupied most of the country.

No one thought that the rout of Korea would be so immediate, and the flight of the people and the retreat of the official army also caused the Lee dynasty to be vulnerable to the attack of the Japanese invaders.

And North Korea, which is about to be completely destroyed, can only hold on to the life-saving straw of Daming, and Daming, as a big country, did not disappoint the Korean Xuanzu and the people.

At the court meeting of the Ming Dynasty, there was a heated debate between Lord Shixing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the military department, and other ministers who opposed the support of Korea.

Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) also proposed that if the Japanese invaders occupied the entire territory of Korea, then the Japanese would directly send troops from Liaodong to join the Jurchens to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, it will expand the sea and directly attack the SD province closest to the Beijing Division, which will only put the Ming Dynasty in a situation where it is embattled.

And the most rare thing at this moment is that the Wanli Emperor, the Ministry of War, and the Master of Ceremonies all believe that troops should be sent to support Korea.

It can be seen that the court of the Ming Dynasty unanimously agreed to support the sending of troops to Korea.

And supporting North Korea has also become the next military action that the Ming court must carry out, and such a large-scale support for North Korea.

At this moment, Zhao Shengyun's 5,000 troops are also ready in the border area of Liaodong, and they can enter Yiju, North Korea at any time for comprehensive support.

And at this moment, Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) is also very cunning to say the reason for supporting North Korea, because supporting North Korea can completely put the cruel battlefield in North Korea.

There is no need to fight on the land of the Ming Dynasty, which means that any property and other losses are the losses of North Korea.

It will not cause the Ming Dynasty to lose a single grass and tree, and if the Japanese really occupy Korea, the problem will be very serious.

It will also affect the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty and bring a serious threat to the maritime rights of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at this moment, the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty agreed to the request to send troops at this moment, and on June 19, 1592, 2,000 Ming soldiers led by Shi Ru, a guerrilla general of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, crossed the Yalu River and came to Yiju, North Korea.

At this time, it was already more than 70 days before the Japanese invaded Korea and sent troops to support North Korea after the war with North Korea.

Although the Ming Kingdom ended the civil war, it still sent the most elite 5,000 Liaodong troops to Korea to support.

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers of Liaodong are the most brave and good at fighting in the Ming army.

Because the military strength of Liaodong soldiers fought against the Jurchens and Mongols all the year round, the soldiers who belonged to Liaodong in the territory of the Ming Dynasty were the most desirable.

Because the soldiers of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty dared to fight, they could also win battles.

However, only 5,000 troops were dispatched, which also shows that the Ming Dynasty did not understand the war situation in Korea.

After all, under the assignment of the lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the army of the country of the Japanese is already 170,000 troops, and it also has an advanced team of birds.

At this moment, the Ming soldiers who entered Korea brought the most advanced artillery, and the power of the artillery was far greater than the power of the bird.

And the participation of the Ming Dynasty in the war was also a dividing point in the war at this moment, making this war finally a war between the three countries in Northeast Asia.

On the border of Uiju in North Korea, ordinary Korean people spontaneously organized to welcome the Ming soldiers who entered Korea at this moment.

His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon even personally greeted the Ming soldiers in the Yiju area, and at this moment it was Zu Chengxun, the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, who led 3,000 soldiers to save Korea from fire and water because of the emperor's order.

After all, at this moment, God did not abandon the country of Korea, and the Ming Emperor did not forget the country of Korea.

At this moment, the Ming soldiers not only brought advanced artillery, but also brought 20,000 taels of silver to support North Korea to win this protracted war.

At this moment, he originally wanted to let the Ming officers and troops rest temporarily, but at this moment, Zu Chengxun was happy and directly led his troops to Pyongyang, North Korea.

But at this moment, Zu Chengxun didn't know that the pirates at this moment were no longer the pirates who attacked the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Rather, it is an orderly and large-scale military force, and it is equipped with all kinds of advanced weapons and the capture of Korea is determined to be achieved.

The Ming official army that arrived in Korea before Zu Chengxun was 2,000 people, and those 2,000 people were led into Korea by the guerrilla general Shi Ru.

It was also a direct trip to Pyongyang, North Korea, but bad weather caused the cavalry to fall into the mud.

Just when it was difficult to march, the Japanese invaders grasped the dynamics of the Ming army, so the 2,000 Ming officers and troops were wiped out by the Japanese before they reached Pyongyang.

And no one from the 2,000 Ming officers and soldiers who were wiped out came back to report the news, so at this moment, Zu Chengxun led the follow-up 3,000 people to also prepare to enter Pyongyang, North Korea.

However, all the 2,000 people who went to Pyongyang in front of them had already died in battle, and none of them came back alive to report to Zu Chengxun.

Then General Zu Chengxun led 3,000 men and horses directly to Pyongyang, North Korea, and this protracted war also made the Ming Dynasty realize the harshness.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty also launched the war mechanism, and sent a military officer in Liaodong to Liaodong to do the military affairs of the imperial war, and let this squire manage and command the war.

Although the word Jingluo seems to be very ordinary, this Jingluo has a very high status in the Ming Dynasty.

Because this soldier at this moment is the commander of the entire Liaodong Theater, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the Korean War.

But there is also a problem, because Lord Jingliu is a civilian official, and the Ming Dynasty let the civilian official be the commander behind the scenes, and the military attache directly kills the enemy on the battlefield.

Therefore, it is difficult to see a large-scale war in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, because the civilian group system of the Ming Dynasty determines that the scale of the battlefield will not be too large.

At this moment, the military operation to support North Korea was also called the third major campaign of Wanli in the later period.

At this moment, Zu Chengxun, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, wanted to go deep into Pyongyang, North Korea, without knowing it.

At this moment, after Zu Chengxun's order, Zu Chengxun was ready to lead 3,000 soldiers to Pyongyang.

At this moment, His Royal Highness Xuanzu was in the court meeting, and wanted to transfer the 20,000 silver taels rewarded by Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty to the ministers who followed him to move the capital.

In the distribution of silver, Seonjo and the ministers had a lot of troubles and problems.

In the end, whether the silver should be distributed to the Fen Dynasty, Joseon Seonjo suddenly fell into a dilemma.

At this moment, the news of the Ming army's support for Pyongyang, North Korea, also reached Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun), and the tax rice sent by Asan in Chungcheong Province was more than 1,000 stones.

At this moment, Jeolla Province and Chungcheong-do Province did not fall into the hands of the Japanese Invaders, and Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Zhao Kun) at this moment also prepared four days of military rations for the Ming reinforcements.

But at this moment, the Ming reinforcements led by Zu Chengxun are also preparing to snatch back the 100,000 stone of grain in the city of Pyongyang.

At this moment, His Royal Highness King Seonjo of Joseon attached the news of Liaodong inward, and it was soon played to Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty by Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the master of the Ministry of War.

But the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty thought that he had already sent it, and Zu Chengxun led 5,000 troops to Pyongyang, North Korea.

And he has already given Xuanzu 20,000 taels of silver, and His Majesty the Wanli Emperor, who thinks that Xuanzu is still very timid, has not yet figured out how powerful the Japanese are.

At this moment, Emperor Wanli hadn't figured out why Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) had always supported North Korea, and later remembered that Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua)'s concubine had almost been sold to Qinghualou once.

At that time, thanks to the translator of North Korea who helped Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) to relieve the siege, he was able to keep Lord Shi Xing's (Liu Weihua)'s concubine from being sold to Qinghualou.

This made Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) very faceless all of a sudden, but on the issue of agreeing to the attachment of His Royal Highness King Seonjo of Joseon.

Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was still wiser and agreed to the request of His Royal Highness Xuanzu to enter the Liaodong region.

And after agreeing to the request of His Royal Highness King Seonjo of Joseon, General Cho Seung-hyun will also face a turning point in his life.

Whether this turning point can bring new lessons to Zu Chengxun depends on whether Zu Chengxun can win the battle of Pyongyang.
