Chapter 555: Peace for All Generations (3)

The Battle of Korea finally came to an end, and the Tuansan Army began to gradually withdraw its troops from Korea, leaving only Izawa with 5,000 men to guard Seoul.

Before leaving Korea, Zhang Zhang took the Korean king Li Liang and the Japanese joint representatives Naojiu, Maeda Toshitsune, and Date Tadamune to sign a "Tripartite Korean Peace Treaty between China and Japan and North Korea."

The contents of the peace treaty once again confirmed in writing that the Tuanshan Army would not occupy an inch of land in Korea and Japan, which greatly relieved both Korea and Japan.

It was only Zhang Li's request that Japan in the west and Korea in the south respectively carry out the policy of "shifting feudal domains", so that the Koreans will manage the Japanese, and at the same time, the Japanese will manage the Koreans. This kind of exchange is rather pitiful for North Korea, but the Korean king Li Liang was ready to surrender before, and now that the tension is not extinguished, it is already very good, how dare he have any complaints.

Presumably, there will be a lot of things that the two countries will tear apart in the future, anyway, the sticks and devils in the future will not bird each other, which is the best choice for another big country.

Zhang Li knew that there were many travelers involved in these two countries, both of which were mainly based on conquest, but Zhang Li believed that "conquest" was only a short-term result, and that in order to "open peace for all generations", the British strategy of dealing with India's independence was very clever - this was the long-term solution......

Since Li Li gave up the occupation of the territory of the two countries, the other terms of the peace treaty were very harsh. In ancient times, the pursuit of land always came first, and the Tuanshan Army actually didn't want land, so no matter how harsh the conditions were, the representatives of Japan and North Korea agreed to it.

There is a problem about Japan that has always made Li Li feel very depressed in later generations, and that is the Ryukyu issue. The Kingdom of the Ryukyus is also known as the Ryukyu Islands. The largest island is the main island of Okinawa, from which the so-called ****** problem arises.

If the Ryukyus were an independent kingdom. What about the little Japanese birds?

Historically, until the sixties of the nineteenth century, the Ryukyu Kingdom was an independent kingdom. It is also a vassal state of China. Among the ten "non-conquest countries" set by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, there is the Ryukyu Kingdom.

However, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese forcibly annexed Ryukyu and annexed this independent country to Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan. "My Great Qing Dynasty" is in the "prosperous era" of "Tongguang Zhongxing", presumably "friends" should take it if they need it......

In the 37th year of Wanli, Japan's Satsuma clan invaded the Ryukyus and forced the Ryukyu Kingdom to pay tribute to Japan. The current situation in the Ryukyus is that the King Shang clan has paid tribute to both the Ming and Japan and has submitted to it – but Zhang Li is not satisfied.

The Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty clearly stated that the Satsuma Domain must be separated from the Ryukyus and that the independence and unity of the Ryukyu Kingdom must be maintained. This is really standing on the moral high ground, how dare the Japanese side have any objections?

The Satsuma Domain is also a powerful local domain in Japan, and Zhang Li asked Maeda Toshitsune and Date Tadamune to deal with him, and if the Satsuma Domain does not withdraw its troops, the Danshan Army will definitely take action.

In the treaty, Zhang Li used the wording of "don't say anything unpredictable", and it is believed that the daimyo of the Satsuma clan must have thought about life carefully......

In addition, for the military aid of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Zhang Li is also in the plan, and has sent people to Ryukyu to ask the king to come to China to discuss the matter of "friendly relations".

Zhang Li's hand was also learned from Midi. You don't see the future generations of Emperor Mi everywhere with his teeth and claws, and in the past 100 years, he has not occupied an inch of land in other countries, but he has regarded the world's policemen as a steady and stable person, which is really quite clever.

Let's look at the situation of the Japanese Civil War, and that's for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is still in the Kannai.

……

In February 1637, he returned to Liaodong to spend the Spring Festival. The Tuanshan Army, which had been resting for about three months, finally entered the customs in a big way.

This time, Zhang Li gathered an army of 100,000, including 40,000 veterans who had participated in the Korean War. The remaining 60,000 were newly trained recruits from Liaodong.

Lu Xiangsheng's Shandong army also gathered 30,000 men in Baoding Province and began the war from south to north.

This time, the main force of the Tuanshan Army moved south along the Shanhai Pass. Echoing with Lu Xiangsheng in the north of Baoding Mansion, the two sides attacked, and for a time the entire Gyeonggi showed a trend of devastation

After occupying the capital division for nearly a year, the "500,000" army of Li Zicheng, the "emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom", now has only more than 100,000 people left - because Li Zicheng has no choice but to disarm.

In the first three months, the slogan "King Chuang is coming, no food" was shouted loudly, and many people were deceived into supporting Dashun Kingdom. Li Zicheng first started with the princes and ministers, and Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of Dashun State, called it "torture" - torture.

The ministers and nobles of the former Ming Dynasty were "tortured" a large amount of military salaries and food, which also maintained the operation of the Great Shun Kingdom.

However, after all, there are "500,000" troops in Dashun Kingdom, plus "military dependents" and officials at all levels, as many as one million mouths waiting to eat. These people don't do anything to produce, they just eat with King Chuang, and many of them have military merits, and they are all unruly.

Li Zicheng only lasted for three months and then couldn't sustain it, how can this so-called "no tax" country last long? Not to mention that China has not appeared for 5,000 years, that is, the world has not appeared for 5,000 years, and the satellite of King Chuang is too big, and it is inevitable that his face will be swollen.

In the end, Li Zicheng could only be greatly disarmed, and as a result, he made a fuss and resentment - Nima, everyone followed King Chuang to eat, and he didn't have anything to eat after only three months, isn't this?

For a while, there were so many people who rebelled against the "Great Shunguo", and Li Zicheng was anxious and tired of coping with it, and the tense Tuanshan army came.

The strength and weakness are simply the difference between cloud and mud!

There was no decent resistance in the entire Northern Zhili, and all the city guards chose to surrender without exception. These generals of the Great Shun Kingdom are already dizzy with hunger, how can they have the strength to fight?

Although the food and salary were insufficient, Li Zicheng was not willing to sit still. He finally gathered 60,000 men and prepared to fight to the death with the Tuanshan army in Yongping. However, when the army reached a distance of thirty miles from Yongping, there was a camp roar, and 60,000 people ran away, and even most of the soldiers ran in the direction of Yongping—not to fight, but to ask for surrender.

On February 16, the Tuanshan Army advanced to the Beijing Division!

History seems to be a reincarnation, more than a year ago, Li Zicheng also destroyed the Ming Dynasty like this, how complacent was he at the beginning?

In this time and space, Chongzhen did not hang himself on the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain, while Li Zicheng prepared a sumptuous banquet, ate the last meal in the sound of artillery fire from the Tuanshan army's siege, and finally chose to commit suicide by taking poison......

Zhang Zhang entered the Beijing Division ten days later, because Li Zicheng didn't have to worry about it at all, Zhang Li had 10,000 ways to destroy him, and it was just "dry bones in the grave" - Zhang Zhang had more important things to deal with. (To be continued.) )
