In 2010, Li Hao was helpless again
The land south of the Tumen River and east of the Yalu River has always belonged to the territory of China since the Western Han Dynasty. Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's diplomatic deception by Goryeo and the political need to attack the Northern Yuan, he was forced to transfer Tielingwei (the northeastern document "Liaodong Chronicles" of the Ming Dynasty recorded: "In ancient times, there was Tieling City, which was five hundred miles southeast of present-day Weizhi and connected to the Goryeo realm. He migrated to Liaodong and gave up territorial sovereignty over the eastern part of the Yalu River.
After the establishment of the Li dynasty, which succeeded Goryeo, it continued to expand its territory to the north, by recruiting, killing, and driving out the Jurchen tribe, (The Jurchen tribe obeyed the orders of the orthodox Ming court and did not accept the rule of the Chaoxian. The territory of the country continued to advance northward, until it reached the Yalu River and the Tumen River basin. In the first half of the 15th century, in the northwest of the Chaoxian Peninsula, Chaoxian traced from the Yalu River estuary, which is the traditional border between the two countries, to the middle and upper reaches of the Yalu River, controlling the east and south banks of the river, and successively set up "four northwestern counties" in this area: Luyan County, Cicheng County (southwest of Luyan County), Maochang County (southeast of Luyan County), and Yaorui County (southwest of Luyan County, between the present-day Jiangjie and Chushan). Castles were also built in the above areas, and a large number of inhabitants migrated from the south to settle in the area, gradually implementing effective control over the northern region.
By 1443, the area south bank of the Yalu River was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the south of the Tumen River and the east of the Yalu River in the Ming Dynasty were all lost.
As early as June, after knowing that Chao Xian was going to send a tributary mission, Junjitang judged that after the envoy returned to Hanyang, he would definitely report to Li Hao. Li Hao, who has always been suppressed by the courtiers, will definitely be furious after knowing that Yizhou has been occupied by the Jurchens, and take the opportunity to deter the courtiers who will only attack each other. For the sake of face, the Hui will order the immediate dispatch of troops to Uiju despite the fact that it is already snowing in winter.
Therefore, starting in July, the Military Aircraft Hall has arranged for the purchase of winter war materials from the Ming Kingdom. By the end of the month, Jinnuer Hachi (this name will be used from now on.) Back in Hetuala, Jianzhou had stockpiled large quantities of felt cloth, cotton, cotton cloth, and furs, as well as cotton jackets, leather armor, mats, cloaks, and even felt for horses. Thanks to the large number of "fake and shoddy" industrial products produced in Jianzhou, the procurement of materials has not had any impact on the livelihood of the people in the three states.
In addition, in order to protect the Chao * Xian clan that has taken refuge, the military machine hall arranged for them to be in the Chao * Xian branches, and they have issued a complaint to the local government, saying that the branch in Yizhou is rebellious and wants to sever relations to show their innocence.
As soon as the old Kim returned to Hetuala, the three states immediately entered a state of war. The mission was escorted by the army to the border.
…… Dividing line ......
Li Hao was angry, and he was angry. Above the court, Li Hao slapped the small few sons in front of him (it is said that this is the dragon case. He howled: "The Jurchen thieves have occupied Yizhou for half a year, and they have ignored them and deceived the monarch, are you still the officials of the imperial court?!" ......" A bunch of courtiers are kicking their butts underneath, like repeaters: "The crimes of the courtiers deserve death!" Ministers deserve death! ……”
The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses and sheds thousands of miles of blood; The wrath of the soldiers, the two corpses, bleeding five steps, the world is vegetarian. Li Hao's anger will still shed a lot of blood. Officials who concealed and did not report were sent to prison and tortured to see if they were collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. In less than half a day, the case was finalized and closed, and all of them betrayed the country! The evidence is conclusive, behead immediately!
Originally, I was going to settle accounts with the Jin family and the Cui family, but it turned out that they had already reported that the Yizhou branch had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and it was concealed by some officials who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country! It's another head-cutting game. As for the agents of these families, they have long been hidden, and there is basically no loss.
However, this Jurchen attack still brought an unexpected boost to Chao Xian: the party struggle between the east and the west ended early, and it was rare for the court to stop the infighting.
After Ann, it's time to get outside. The imperial court gathered 50,000 troops, known as "500,000", to attack Yiju and recover the lost territory! In fact, 50,000 is a superficial number, and there are only more than 20,000 real soldiers. And there are only 20,000 people, most of whom have never held weapons all year round, and there are only 1,000 people in the pro-soldiers. The armor and weapons are even more bastards, most of the equipment in the treasury was sold by the officials for money, and the rest, although in disrepair, was also used by the generals to equip their own soldiers. Insufficient weapons, according to the old habit, each person is issued a stick, how to say that it is also a "stick army"!
The bigger problem was that this army was seriously short of supplies for the winter. The military uniform is only a single coat, and the cotton clothes are so rotten that they are all scattered when they are picked up; Tents are not enough for officials, officers and their families. Ordinary soldiers could only grab some clothes and cloth to wrap themselves and stuff some hay into their clothes.
Historically, the Chinese regime's conquest of the peninsula was largely lost to the weather. First, there was a war of words, and the other party was ready; The troops were dispatched in the spring, and it was May or June when they arrived at the border; Block the fortresses a little more, and it will be September and October; After October, you have to fight the harsh cold weather; The front line is long, there are still people in the rear who are dragging their feet, and there is a serious shortage of supplies to reach the front line. In this way, a large number of officers and soldiers were lost in the cold wind, and finally returned defeated.
But now, Li Hao's impulsiveness has caused the local army to be tested by the weather.
The stick army set out from Hanyang at the end of October, and there were constant conditions along the way: either the barracks, grain and grass were on fire; Either it is the explosion of gunpowder (the fire * gun soldiers of the stick are still combative, and it has caused great casualties to the army of the Ming State in history. ); There is also food and water poisoning, and how can I not find the enemy. The Jianzhou side sent out all the officers and soldiers of the DPRK who were recruited into the Jianrui battalion, and the authentic locals, it is strange that they can find out the loose management of the stick army. Along the way, countless sleek corpses were left behind, and their clothes were stripped of by the living. In addition, the army looted all the villages and towns along the road, and there was no scum left.
As soon as they entered Ping'an Road, the troops were constantly attacked by the Jianzhou Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Forward Battalion in turn. Shulhaqi finally seized the opportunity to fight a big battle, and he personally went into battle to kill him. When he arrived at the back, Shuerhaqi was ruthlessly held by Wang Qinian, and he was very depressed and ordered to reduce the intensity of the attack, so as not to disperse before the stick army entered Yizhou.
Arriving at the edge of Uiju, the guard battalion and infantry battalion were already in full array. Before the stick army could line up, wearing leather armor inside and iron armor on the outside, holding a big sword and battle axe, the huge punishment camp rushed over. The officers and soldiers of the punishment battalion were the savages who had just been captured. They were told that as long as they had enough military exploits, they and their families could gain freedom, land, cattle and sheep, and slaves, and that even if they were killed in battle, the rewards would be left to their families, and that the greater the military exploits, the greater the rewards.
Under the impact of a large number of humanoid tanks, the array that had not yet been laid out by the stick army immediately collapsed, and the escort battalion and infantry battalion that followed up were only left with the work of driving sheep. The battlefield was full of soldiers who could not run and knelt there to surrender. The cavalry on the periphery was busy gathering the officers and soldiers of Chao Xian who had fled in all directions and handed them over to the auxiliary army to guard. For the offensive queue of the Jianzhou Army, you can refer to the orc army in "The Lord of the Rings".
What the? Fire*Gunner? There is no gunpowder, what kind of battle!
Before the Chinese New Year, the ambitious Li Hao finally waited for the news from the front line: the whole army was annihilated! The entire court of Chao Xian fell into chaos, and Li Hao, who was helpless again, had to return to the harem very aggrieved and cried to his wives again.
At this time, Li Sicheng and Kim Zhenghao were also very depressed in Feiala, and they looked at a man and a woman kneeling on the ground in front of them with mixed feelings.
