Zhou Shixiang's idea was very simple, since he didn't have food in his hands, he would "borrow" food from those who had it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Back then, didn't he just ask Zhao Ziqiang to go to Annan to "borrow grain".

This method is actually robbery, and the war is fed by war. Unlike at home, the target of the robbery is not his own compatriots.

Of course, this method also has a lofty name, which is to raise the soldiers of our tribe with the blood of other peoples.

According to Zhou Shixiang's understanding, North Korea provided a lot of food to the Manchurians, and even sent troops to help the Manchurians deal with the Ming army. Before that, the Ming Dynasty had the grace of reinvention for North Korea. If it hadn't been for Wanli to resist the Japanese, the country of North Korea would have ceased to exist a long time ago. Therefore, North Korea turned its back on the Ming Dynasty when it was difficult, and it was really a bit ungrateful.

Of course, from the perspective of the Koreans, they surrendered to the Manchus in order to keep their country, and whoever made himself unable to defeat the Manchus, the Ming Dynasty could not help him. But in any case, since he could provide grain, grass, soldiers and horses to the Manchus, he could also provide them for the Taiping army. It's not a difficult multiple-choice question, it's just whose knife is quick to listen to.

Small countries are big and big.

As soon as the intention of getting grain from North Korea came out, Zhou Shixiang soon had a plan for the DPRK in his mind. Specifically, he was a member of the People's Liberation Army in his previous life, and he was very impressed by the Inchon landing operation.

With a powerful naval division landing in the Inchon area, the Korean state is cut in two, and as long as the land war can suppress the Korean army, then the next step is naturally political negotiations.

Zhou Shixiang wants grain and grass from North Korea, and he is not interested in destroying his country for the time being. The country is already a rotten beach, and he doesn't have the energy to take the lead in Korean colonial rule under the premise that the country is in ruins.

For the ruler of any feudal dynasty, in the case of military inability to win against the opponent, it is cheaper and more suitable to lose some silver, send some grain, and catch some young and strong people to the other party.

Zhou Shixiang was sure that the Koreans would definitely not fight to the death with the Taiping Army, after all, the Taiping Army was the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the DPRK received such a great favor from the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for the country to be white-eyed wolves. As long as there are pro-Ming factions, then the North Korean problem can be better solved.

In addition, there is Jeju Island in North Korea, which is also a very good place, which is very suitable as a base for sailors. This island can not only radiate the whole of Korea, but also be the fulcrum of the entire Liaodong operation.

The construction of a naval division base on Jeju Island, and then the establishment of a naval division sub-base on the Dongjiang Islands where Mao Wenlong resisted the Qing Dynasty in those years, will continuously invest the money, grain, and manpower obtained from North Korea into Liaodong and Ningjin, and the game of chess in Liaodong will be revitalized.

The power of the Manchu Eight Banners outside the gate, Zhou Shixiang did not pay attention to it, and even ignored it. North. Beijing's intelligence, in order to suppress the voices against him in the Eight Banners, Shunzhi deliberately transferred the Shengjing general Dunbai and the capital Tongan Zhuhai into the Guannai. As a result, Tunbai took away eighty percent of the troops stationed in the Eight Banners outside the Guan, and there were not even 3,000 flag soldiers left, and most of them were still old, weak, sick and disabled. If even such a little old man and little tartar can't solve it, Zhou Shixiang will definitely slaughter all the generals below while wiping his own neck.

"It's so decided, the army will first attack Korea, force them to surrender, take North Korean grain and baggage, and then attack Liaodong."

Zhou Shixiang relied on each other as before, and once again acted arbitrarily, from making the decision to abandon the sea-crossing operation and go north to the current decision to attack North Korea first, and there was no time for half a pillar of incense.

He is really anxious, Shunzhi is dead, and if nothing else, Kang Xiaomazi will ascend the throne. Originally, the war situation in Henan was still stalemate, but now that the more than 100,000 people in the loyal battalion are heading north, the war situation in Henan will definitely change greatly. Regardless of whether there will be a winner between Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, it is impossible for the Qing court to defend the north. It's the capital. Once north. The rest of the Eight Banners in the capital will be the first to get out of the customs, and then the extermination plan and many efforts made to this will be in vain.

Zhou Shixiang never thought that he was a cruel, ruthless, cruel and bloodthirsty person, he also had tenderness, and he was also a good son, a good husband, and a good father. However, he could never go back to the way he was. Although everything about the original owner of the body seems to have nothing to do with him, a person in later generations, he doesn't have to keep his hatred in his heart all the time. But he couldn't do it, as soon as he thought of the two empty tombs outside Xinhui City, his heart was like a knife.

He must take revenge, and there is no means of revenge in this world that is more enjoyable and exhilarating than exterminating the race.

The gentleman takes revenge, only in the morning and night.

On that day, the Xiucai under Xinhui City was angry.

Today's His Royal Highness the King of Qi still considers himself a horseman.

Only the blood of the puff will never be cold.

From the perspective of politics and interests alone, Zhou Shixiang could have a better choice, he didn't have to be so excited, and even said that he was desperate to send troops to Liaodong, because the risks were too great, and there was not much political gain.

At present, the old capital is restored to the north. Beijing is the most important thing for people in the world.

It doesn't matter whether Manchu will be exterminated or not.

Occupy the North. Jing, for His Royal Highness King Qi, also has immeasurable political influence.

Perhaps, this can make His Royal Highness King Qi transform into His Majesty the Emperor.

But that is the consideration of politicians and careerists, although he is called a handsome and His Royal Highness by others, Zhou Shixiang will still be the showman who vows to take revenge in his bones, and he wants revenge.

He could not tolerate his enemies fleeing back to their nest.

From the perspective of immediate interests, sending troops to Liaodong is definitely the next policy; Proceeding from long-term interests, it is the best policy.

Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell in the future, Zhou Shixiang could also form a strategic advantage over Wu Sangui by virtue of outside the Guan.

Xu Yingyuan and Dong Changqing are accustomed to the impatience of the marshal, but one of them can accept the plan of skipping North Korea first, but the other is skeptical of this plan.

Dong Changqing wondered how much time it would take to pacify North Korea. What if it drags on in Korea for a long time and the army hangs alone in Liaodong?

Xu Yingyuan's answer was no more than three months at most. He is certainly not untargeted, but well-founded. Because the Manchu Qing attacked Korea twice that year, once Amin, one of the four major Baylors, was the commander, and it took three months to force North Korea to submit. Once, the captive chieftain Hongtai personally commanded the troops, and the result was that the troops arrived in Seoul in less than a month.

It is true that North Korea is a country, but it is too small, only a province larger than Daming.

"In the past, the Manchurian Tartars attacked Korea with infantry, but today our army has a naval division, and if we can attack its key points, it will be easy to take North Korea." Xu Yingyuan said.

Zhou Shixiang thought that the Qing army entered Korea from the Yalu River on foot and could reach Seoul in a month, but now he is a large army of land and water, as long as he is surprised, and the Inchon battle again, the Korean army in Seoul will not even have a chance to flee to the south.
