After making a thorough consideration, Huang Taiji still adopted the method of "killing chickens with knives", except for leaving a part of the Han army banner that was good at defending the city and the new 2,000 Western mercenaries to guard Liaoyang, he set out with an army of 100,000 to conquer Korea.

He clearly knew that with the current combat effectiveness of "my Great Qing Dynasty," he could sweep through Korea with only one chief general and 18,000 men, but he still spent so much effort precisely to sweep away the "bad luck" that had been repeatedly defeated by the Tuanshan Army and to demonstrate the magnificent military might of "My Great Qing Dynasty."

The course of the war was also as Huang Taiji predicted, after crossing the Yalu River, the 100,000-strong army on the expedition captured Uiju in one fell swoop, and then went to Gwasan Fortress, Jeongju, and Pyongyang...... In just over ten days, the Qing army had already captured Wangjing in Korea.

The Joseon king Yi Liang sent his concubine and son to Ganghwa Island the day before the Qing army besieged Wangjing, and he himself fled to Namhansanseong.

For a time, the country of Korea was in turmoil, and almost half of the country's territory fell.

……

100,000 Korean envoys for help hurriedly landed in Tianjin Wei by sea ship and arrived in Beijing in only one day.

In the early days of this day, in the face of the bloody cry for help from the vassal state of Korea, Emperor Chongzhen and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu both said "I know", and then asked the Korean envoys to wait patiently......

After seven or eight days, the Korean envoy was in a hurry, but he was not summoned by Emperor Chongzhen for a long time - in a hurry, he actually beat the "Dengwen Drum".

This caused an uproar, and for a while, the government and the opposition could no longer be turtles with shrunken heads......

The "Dengwen Drum" was used by the people of the Ming Dynasty to voice grievances, and it was originally impossible to beat as a foreign envoy. However, North Korea is a "country not to be conquered" by Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang. For the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, pay tribute every year. Don't dare to be disrespectful, the Korean people are also like the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the North Korean envoy beats the "Dengwen drum". That is to once again show that North Korea is a vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and even claims to be a "citizen of the Ming Dynasty"!

Emperor Chongzhen had no choice, and it was impossible to negotiate any results at the court meeting, so in the end he could only convene Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, to meet alone.

Eight years after entering Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen has become thinner and thinner, and Shoufu Wen Tiren has also shown his old age, his original half-white beard has become completely white, and the whole person seems to have lost his former vitality.

Wen Tiren's back was also hunched, and he trembled when he walked. It's like a gust of wind is about to blow down. However, in his seemingly old cloudy eyes, there was a ray of essence hidden......

At this moment, the imperial study of the Forbidden City seemed deserted, because the matter involving the vassal state was a secret, so the eunuchs and guards were waiting outside the room, and only the old slave Wang Chengen stood beside Emperor Chongzhen.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was a little dull, and Lord Wen's face was silent. but he was thinking about his own business. Previously, Hong Chengchou quietly sent someone to contact him, and those conditions were naturally a hit.

The Ming Dynasty is now crumbling, and after the thieves Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were driven to Henan by the Tuanshan army, they gathered a large number of people in less than two months. They did not dare to enter Shandong, but went south to Huguang and headed south of the Yangtze River.

Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Li Zicheng, the general of Chuang, were wandering in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan. Captured a lot of cities, and the momentum was shocking for a while.

Fortunately, Jingshi is not far from Shandong. And the Tuanshan army in Shandong is simply a tiger's ass that can't be touched, and the thieves don't dare to run this way at all.

But. The Central Plains, the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, has been eroded - this is not surprising, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, who were the most corrupt thieves, are gone, and the army of the Central Plains was also washed in Manchu blood, and more than half of them turned into Han military flags, ran away to Shenyang, and followed Huang Taiji to eat pigs and sheep......

Shandong and Liaodong have been divided into territories, and the Central Plains have been eroded, and the Ming Dynasty has never had such a bad situation since its founding more than 200 years ago.

It's time to find a way out-Wen Tiren sighed slightly in his heart and glanced up at Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen is already hysterical, in the words of the common people, called the ghost obsessed! In his hurry, he had to gather the troops of Sichuan and Guangxi Tusi to go to the Central Plains.

Although Sichuan Shizhu Tusi Qin Liangyu has a good record in the past, he is a woman after all, how useful can he be?

"Fortunately, the way back is found...... Lord Wen repeated this sentence again in his heart, as if he only needs to keep reminding himself that he can be more steady.

Hong Chengchou said that he would withdraw from the Ming government in Macau, is this a bird matter? Naturally, Mu has a little problem, thinking about what Macau, but it's just the land of the Southern Barbarians - so, under the operation of Lord Wen, Macao has all belonged to the Portuguese, and there is no wind and waves in this matter, after all, everyone is thinking about self-preservation, who has the leisure to care about those?

Now, the envoys of the DPRK are running for help, how to deal with this? The Ming Dynasty is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect itself, how can it be managed by the vassal state?

It's just that this Korean country has always been very humble to the Ming Dynasty, and this time the envoy beat the "Dengwen Drum" again, which made the world known, and the court couldn't get over it!

Face has always been the most important thing for the emperor, so the Korean country must be saved, at least, it must be saved on the bright side!

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Wen Tiren had not spoken, and finally couldn't hold it back, and asked weakly: "Wen Aiqing, now that the Korean country is asking for help from my Ming Dynasty, according to Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Since the North Korean envoy came to Beijing, Wen Tiren has thought of countermeasures, but this kind of thing is not beneficial, and there is no need to be out if he is not in the limelight. Now the emperor must let himself make up his mind, and he can't say anything, so he has to give countermeasures and explanations.

Wen Tiren took two steps forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu Gao, the Korean State has always been a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, and now it is being attacked by Jiannu, and I am worried about the loss of the country, and I must be rescued by the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face turned cold, revealing a dissatisfied look: Wen Tiren is talking nonsense, the key is how to save it!

Wen Tiren didn't care at all, but continued: "Don't worry, the emperor doesn't need to abolish my Ming soldiers to rescue the Korean country, and you don't even need to give out a tael of silver!" ”

"Huh? ——" Emperor Chongzhen exclaimed, and the whole person stood up from the dragon chair with a swish, and blurted out: "Aiqing, come quickly!" ”

Wen Tiren smiled slightly, brushed his beard and said, "Let Zhang Li save!" ”

As soon as these words landed, Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly turned like ashes, and he immediately sat down heavily!

The Tuanshan army of tension is already a country within a country, and the generals who kill a thousand knives are divided! (To be continued.) )
