If you want Phi Dao to become a part of the strategy of southern Liaoning, you can't ignore the country of North Korea......

In the twentieth year of Wanli, Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi led troops to invade Korea, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to assist Korea in defeating the Japanese invasion, so that the relationship between Korea and the Ming Dynasty was further close.

When the Later Jin forces entered the area east of the Liao River and expanded to the West Liao River region, the presence of Korea became their advantage in the future, so that controlling Korea or conquering Korea became an integral part of the general strategy of the Later Jin war against the Ming. Strategically, Huang Taiji conquered Mongolia first, then Korea, and finally attacked the Ming Kingdom with all his might.

In order to alleviate the advantages of the attack on the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji was ready to use force to force Korea to submit. He sent Dabel Amin and Zilharang, Azig, Dudu, Yueto, and Shuoto to lead a large army to attack Korea. The defense of the North Korean side was very poor, and the Kim troops advanced very quickly, and in less than half a month, they captured Pyongyang. The Joseon king Yi Liang resisted unfavorably, and led his princess and children to flee Ganghwa Island, and sent envoys to sue for peace with the Jin army. In March, Amin sent a representative to Ganghwa Island, held an oath with Li Liang, and violated discipline, ordered the Eight Banners to plunder the land for three days, and withdrew from Korea after obtaining a large number of property, people and animals...... No one mourned the "four counts of the invasion of North Korea." After the end of the war, Kim forced North Korea to sign the Pyongyang Oath, opened the market in Zhonggang and Hoeryeong, demanded the return of Houjin fugitives, and pursued tribute. This invasion is known in the history of Korea as the "Dingmao Rebellion".

The military purpose of Huang Taiji's military use of troops in North Korea this time. It is to deal a blow to the North Korean forces and force the North Korea not to easily send troops to harass the rear of the Kim soldiers; Its political objective was mainly to force Korea to sever relations with the Ming Dynasty by force, so that it could lean towards the Jin state in the Jin-Ming war. or remain neutral; Economically, he wanted to supply food to North Korea to relieve the urgent need caused by the great hunger of the Kim country. The Koreans, on the other hand, fantasized that they would receive assistance from the Ming Dynasty when the Jin soldiers invaded, and although they were defeated, they were still unwilling to give in. At the same time, the main target of the Jin State at that time was the Ming Dynasty. If you want to fight for the Liaodong region with all your might, it is actually impossible to devote all your strength to the DPRK and make peace talks. I hurried back to the division. Therefore, this time to enter Korea, Huang Taiji did not achieve the desired goal, and the nature of the Pyongyang alliance is a brotherly alliance.

The DPRK did not fully fulfill the terms of the peace agreement afterwards. Adopt a perfunctory attitude towards the Jin country. He still maintained a relationship with the Ming Dynasty, supported the Ming Dynasty's military operations against Jin with materials and ships, and was more active in preparing for war. Regarding the Jin State's request for Joseon to sever relations with the Ming Dynasty, the Korean king Li Liang openly said to Huang Taiji: "Your country wants to negotiate peace and stop the army, which is very good. Therefore, the orphan is also happy to allow it. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the monarch and the minister were very divided. If your country wants me to be clear, I would rather die than obey! ”。

Yang Bo doesn't like North Korea in later generations, and the only purpose of the existence of this rogue state is to give a worse country a psychological comfort, and that's it, but in this era, Yang Bo can't help but consider the importance of North Korea.

What he is most concerned about now is whether the Korean sailors will succumb under the pressure of Houjin, if this is the case, it will be a nightmare for the Ming Kingdom, the strength of the Korean sailors is not inferior to the two major sailors of the Ming Kingdom, especially the "turtle boats" they are equipped with, this kind of warships unique to North Korea not only carry large capacity, but also excellent protection, ordinary guns and small-caliber artillery hardly play a role, and played a huge role in the confrontation with the Japanese sailors in those years.

The most urgent problem is that once Huang Taiji pulls the attention of the people of the Eight Banners back from the Ming Kingdom of Fuze and conquers Korea with all his might, then Yang Bo's advantage will be gone, and there is a large amount of fine wood in Liaodong, which is the best material for making the keel of warships, plus a large number of shipbuilders in Korea, plus a large number of Han Banner troops who are familiar with water, this consequence is very serious.

Maybe Huang Taiji hasn't realized this yet, maybe he has realized that it is not easy for the Eight Banners who advocate riding and archery to implement this strategy, but Houjin is a tribe that is very good at learning in war, since Huang Taiji can send flags on Lianyun Island to learn swimming, who dares to guarantee that Huang Taiji will not form a sailor in the future? There is very limited time left for yourself.

Shen Shikui wanted to abandon the island, on the one hand, it was a helpless move under the persecution of the Tatar slaves, on the other hand, it was also related to the expulsion of North Korea, when Jin invaded Korea, Li Chao asked for help from the Ming Kingdom, Yuan Chonghuan saw death and did not save it, at that time it had already planted the hidden danger of splitting the subject country, plus Mao Wenlong was trapped in the supply of food and salary in the imperial court, and he was forced to ask for it from the North Korean side every day. Insatiable extortions, brutality without the body of guests, clear solicitation, forcible robbery, and so on. However, buying is no different from robbing......"

Of course, this is a private complaint by the North Korean side, even if the North Korea is so humiliated, Mao Shuai is still strongly dissatisfied with North Korea's actions, and repeatedly angrily denounced its failure to fully help the slaves. Now the hated Mao Wenlong is dead, North Korea is happy, the fear of the Ming State has been greatly reduced, the pro-Ming faction in the Li Dynasty has been purged, Shen Shikui, who replaced the Dongjiang General Army, was originally a businessman, and did not have the courage and arrogance of Mao Wenlong, after North Korea surrendered to the Tartars, according to the requirements of the Later Jin side, North Korea protested to the Ming Dynasty, demanding that all the Ming troops in Dongjiang Town withdraw from Phi Dao, and also sent Korean sailors to Phi Dao to exert pressure on the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, the most deadly thing is, Donggang can no longer get supplies from North Korea.

In the past, most of Mao Wenlong's supplies came from North Korea. He even organized the Ming army in Donggang Town, which was self-sufficient and well-fed in tuntian in northern Korea, and achieved good results. All of this is gone now. Without supplies from North Korea, Donggang Town is increasingly embarrassed, only to parry but no power to fight back, North Korean sailors even come to Phi Dao from time to time to cruise, on the surface of the clear sea lane. In fact, everyone understands what is going on, besides, on Bailing Island, which is the closest to the Shandong Peninsula. There is also the stationing of the North Korean Naval Division, but the DPRK has been dependent on China for many years, and although the Pro-Ming faction has suffered heavy losses, it cannot be cleaned for a while, so there is no direct conflict between the Korean Naval Division and Dongjiang Town for the time being.

Let's talk about it. It can only show that the country is not angry, and he killed Mao Wenlong, who can make a big victory from time to time, and the rest of the wine bags and rice bags were beaten by Houjin and cried his father and mother. This time Yang Bo's rescue of Phi Dao is not just to show strength, it is far from enough to repel the siege of Phi Dao by the Tatars, and all military operations must be adequately rewarded. So this time it's not just about winning the Tartars. It is also necessary to win a big victory, so that North Korea at both ends of the snake and mouse can clearly understand the situation, as for Shen Shikui, the commander of the Dongjiang River, it is just an added value for him in military operations, Yang Bo did not even think about the consequences of sinking Shen Zhixiang's body to the bottom of the sea......

On the 25th of January, the fleet quietly came to a halt on the sea fifty miles from Phi Dao, where the golden shopkeeper was explaining to the people in the flagship.

"The origin of Phi Island is this, this island was called Linden Island in the Yi Dynasty, and the word "linden" is pronounced "fart" by Koreans. That's why our Ming Dynasty was called Phi Dao for short."

"Haha~~"

Everyone laughed, and Tan Yinghua said loudly: "I only know now." This Phi Island turned out to be a homonym for the fart island."

“…… Phi Island is less than ten miles away from the coast of North Korea, opposite is Tieshan, Xuanzhou, the annual freezing season is the most dangerous, because the cavalry of the Tartars can force landing directly from the ice, but it is not until about the beginning of February, the sea in the middle can be frozen tightly, that is to say, after more than ten days, the Tartars can swagger on the island, since the Tuntian Dongjiang soldiers and civilians in Tieshan were slaughtered, Mao Shuai can not gain a foothold on the land, can only retreat to the island, but in any case, Phi Island is still the core of Dongjiang Town. ”

Tan Yinghua interjected nonchalantly: "Wrong, wrong, the core is now our Lushun, okay?" ”

Everyone looked embarrassed, Yang Bo smiled slightly at Tan Yinghua's straightforwardness, nodded and said: "What Lao Tan said is right, the core of Dongjiang Town in the future is our Lushun."

The golden shopkeeper continued: "The east of Phi Island is Shenmi Island, we call it Yuncong Island, this island and Phi Island across the sea, is the largest island, but Mao Shuai thought that the island was barren, did not send people to Tuntian, and the monitoring location we chose is the two desert islands in the north of Phi Island, which is more hidden......

Wang Xiaoyu nodded, went up to take over the golden shopkeeper and said: "In order to ensure the supply of logistics this time, we have concentrated all the lucky ships and merchant ships that can be dispatched, in addition to transporting soldiers and baggage, we also transported a lot of grain, the golden shopkeeper will fund a part of the rice grain to Shen Shikui, and the remaining empty ships will stay to transfer a part of the Dongjiang soldiers and civilians, as for the material, please rest assured, we have even prepared a lot of quicklime for pickling the head of the Tartar slaves......

There was laughter in the conference room, and Wang Xiaoyu also smiled: "What the General Staff Department means is that everyone doesn't have to worry about logistics, let go of their hands and feet to fight, the adults said, compared with the meaning of this battle, those materials don't have to worry too much"

Yang Bo stepped forward, and the conference room fell silent

"I'll just say a few words, let's be considered mobilization before the war, first of all, we must understand the meaning of fighting this war, so what is the meaning of our rescue?"

Yang Bo first looked at Tan Yinghua, pointed at Phi Dao with the whip in his hand and said: "Actually, I have been thinking since I sent troops to Changsheng Island, we have a sailor, why do you want to come to Phi Dao from far away?" Where can I log in? Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, this road is our best battlefield, right? But let's look back and think about it, what was the reason why Mao Dashuai chose Phi Dao back then? Let's take a look at the distance from Phi Dao to Shenyang."

Yang Bo drew a straight line between Phi Dao and Shenyang, and said: "There is a distance of more than 1,000 miles from Shenyang to Phi Dao, in other words, it will take five days for the Nu Chief to travel from Shenyang to Phi Dao at the earliest, and if you carry a foot armor, it will take more than fifteen days, our goal is here, Iron Mountain!" This place is backed by Phi Island, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, can also be self-sufficient in Tuntian, and even coerce North Korea, its importance is actually no less than Lushun, if in our hands, then Tieshan, Shicheng Island, Jinzhou, and even Changsheng Island are connected into a line, Huang Taiji can no longer send out a few troops and horses as before, unscrupulously choose to attack any place in southern Liaoning, for example, Huang Taiji sent troops and horses to attack Phi Island, okay, what is my countermeasure, let's send troops to Jinzhou. The other way out of Lianyun Island threatens Gaizhou, Shicheng Island sends troops to Xiuyan, and we will order unity. The offensive is continuous, is to ask the slave chief what to do? ”

Finally, Yang Bo picked up a thick charcoal pen and drew a few arrows on the map, Jinzhou, Xiuyan, North Korea. Tieshan, Lianyun Changsheng and other five thick arrows pointed at Shenyang, surrounding the capital of the Tarslaves!

There were several exclamations from the room. For the first time, the strategic policy that Yang Bo was going to implement in the future was truly exposed to their eyes......

"It's like a horn, you've all seen sumo, right? Although it seems that the Tatars are tall, we are small and thin, and it seems that we are no match for the Tatars at all. But what is it like to occupy the Iron Mountain? It's like pulling Huang Taiji's egg. As long as we pull hard, Huang Taiji will cry bitterly, not only that, these five places are Huang Taiji's eggs, if the five places pull together, what should the Tartar slaves do? He has only one way but to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, that is, the balls are gone, let us cut them off and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Otherwise, the weakness will be caught all the time, and this taste is not pleasant, right? ”

Yang Bo's analogy made everyone laugh. Especially after hearing the saying of five balls.

Tan Yinghua said with a big grin: "Zhixian, it's right to order unification, but what if the slave chief ignores the harassment of other roads and attacks Iron Mountain with all his might?" The Slave Chief will not sit idly by and watch North Korea fall to us. At that time, Mao Dashuai Tieshan was defeated and slaughtered by the Tartar slaves, so he was forced to retreat to the island. ”

Yang Bo nodded: "Yes, Mao Dashuai has no ability to go ashore since he lost Iron Mountain, but now the difference is that our guerrilla battalion is good at guarding, as long as we build a city in Iron Mountain, and build a few more fortresses on the edge of the city, so that each other is a horn, backed by Phi Island support, plus our firearms are fierce, we can firmly occupy Iron Mountain, as long as we gain a firm foothold in Iron Mountain, then the slave chief is very passive, if he wants to fight Iron Mountain, he can, but he wants to exchange for elite infantry armor, and there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in Iron Mountain City, He was going to give at least 10,000 people in exchange, did he have the determination? Even if he had, he would trade that flag for it? If Huang Taiji sits idly by, I'm sorry, if he dares to give up Tieshan, it will be equivalent to giving up North Korea, and this is what I, Yang, want to achieve. ”

Tan Yinghua's heart moved, and said, "Zhixian, you won't beat my Guanglu idea, right?" I have 2,000 soldiers in Guanglu District, and it is not enough to defend Iron Mountain."

Yang Bo smiled and said, "What if you add the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on Phi Island? ”

Everyone was shocked, Tan Yinghua was even more stunned, and his originally crooked sitting posture instantly became straight: "Shen Shikui? ”

Yang Bo nodded: "Let's move his nephew, how can we rest assured if we don't get rid of him?" This matter is on me, the key is Lao Tan, if you want to climb a step up, you can't do it this time if you don't work hard, if you wait for the three thousand soldiers and horses of Shang Kexi Shuangdao to arrive, then ......"

"Can you help me with a batch of firecrackers?" Tan Yinghua swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

Yang Bo nodded: "No problem, I'll help you with one hundred and fifty firearms, plus a hundred veterans to help you train soldiers, how about it?" If you need anything in the future, just ask me. ”

Tan Yinghua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt in front of Yang Bo, Yang Bo was shocked, and hurriedly helped: "Old Tan, why are you doing this?" ”

Tan Yinghua said loudly: "Lao Tan is a rough man, he can say whatever he has in his heart, he has not mentioned the great grace of rescuing Lushun before, he has never treated me badly since he was stationed in Lushun, Lao Tan understands in his heart, Lao Tan also wants to train some soldiers and horses to fight Tartars, not to mention that it is stronger than the guerrilla battalion, at least it is not to drag the guerrilla battalion back......

Tan Yinghua respectfully saluted Yang Bo before standing up: "In the future, I will follow Zhixian to mingle, and Zhixian will fight wherever he says!" ”

Yang Bo nodded, and said to Tan Yinghua: "We have a foothold on Phi Island, more often we have to look farther, we will support you unconditionally, we want firearms, we want people, if the armor and equipment are not enough, we will also give priority to transporting it to you, old Tan, you see, as long as you have a strong army in your hands, the whole North Korea will look at your face and act, do you understand?" ”

Tan Yinghua nodded, and glanced at Yang Bo with deep meaning, some words don't need to be said too thoroughly, although Tan Yinghua is straight, he is not stupid.

“…… This time, let's work together to attack the Tartars, and then the guerrilla battalion will return to Lushun, and your Guanglu soldiers will stay on Phi Island to garrison, not only to stand firm, but also to take root, Phi Island is also your base and source of reserves, I will fund firearms for you, but you have to ask for rice and grain yourself, go to North Korea to ask, if you don't give it, you will rob it, don't worry too much, you have to remember one thing, you have to remember that you are more fierce and evil than Mao Dashuai did back then! In this way, the North Korea will be truly convinced, and they will take their population to build Tieshan Fortress, and recruit their craftsmen to come and build warships, as nails for Phi Island, and you will nail them firmly to the land for me! ”

Tan Yinghua's face turned red, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, Yang Bo meant that he wanted to build an independent kingdom in the Dongjiang River, an independent kingdom that the imperial court couldn't stuck, and the treasure house of North Korea was waiting for him to develop!

Tan Yinghua said in a deep voice: "Idle, old Tan understands!" ”

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone retreated in twos and threes, the impact of Yang Bo's words on them just now was huge, they needed to calm down and digest the meaning of the words that were also said to them, Zhang Shixiong took a chance, walked to Yang Bo's side and asked: "My lord, Iron Mountain is so important, why don't you send my general of the Thunder Brigade to guard it, so that your lord can rest assured?" ”

Yang Bo nodded slightly, he knew that Zhang Shixiong was a little puzzled, why he would give this planned independent kingdom to Tan Yinghua, who was considered an outsider. Yang Bo patted Zhang Shixiong on the shoulder, pointed to the map of Liaodong and said, "Shixiong, look at these places, are they big enough?" We still have too many places to occupy in the future, and a small iron mountain is reluctant? ”

Zhang Shixiong looked up at Yang Bo, and finally bowed slightly: "What the adults said is very true, Shixiong has been taught." ”

At this moment, the guards came to report that the desert island had arrived and was ready to land.

Yang Bo patted Zhang Shixiong: "Let's go, go to the island and have a look, we're going to be Robinson for a few days"

Zhang Shixiong was confused...... (To be continued......)
