On December 2, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally led 120,000 Houjin Tartars to attack Korea. ≧，

It should be said that after Huang Taiji became the emperor, he suffered a heavy blow, Azig and Abatai led an army of 100,000 to invade the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning it was smooth sailing, who knew that he suddenly encountered a strong Zheng army, and the number of soldiers who were killed reached more than 18,000, more than 3,000 people were captured, and Abatai was also captured by the Zheng family's army, and in desperation, Huang Taiji took out 10 million taels of silver to redeem the captured Abatai and 3,000 soldiers.

After Azig returned to Shenyang, he was reprimanded by Huang Taiji, if it were not for the dissuasion of others, Huang Taiji was afraid that Azig would be thrown into prison, the loss of this time, to the newly established Qing Dynasty, it was unbearable, and the future of the Qing Dynasty was smeared with gray, Huang Taiji did not know Zheng Jiajun at all, he had personally led the army into the customs many times, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was very clear.

It's a pity that the Zheng family army had a face-to-face field battle with the Manbaqi, and the Zheng Jiajun occupied an absolute advantage, and actually captured Abatai alive, defeated the 30,000 Manchu Eight Banner disciples under the command of Abatai, and the redeemed Abatai, which realistically described the combat effectiveness of the Zheng family's army, and Abatai used words such as indomitable swallowing mountains and rivers for the first time to describe the Ming army.

This made Huang Taiji feel cold, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter what aspect of comparison, the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the Qing Dynasty, if the Zheng family army is allowed to develop and grow, what fate awaits the Qing Dynasty, it is needless to say.

Fan Wencheng gave Jian yì, intending to provoke the relationship between the Ming monarch and the minister from the inside, that is, to pass the Ming court and eliminate the Zheng family's army. Go out to the trouble of the henchmen of the Great Qing Kingdom.

This construction is indeed good, but unfortunately, it cannot be implemented at present, through some information obtained from Liaodong, Huang Taiji already knows some things about the Zheng family's army, and this army is about to completely exterminate the Ming Dynasty's rogues. Killed dozens of leaders of the Liukou, so that the soul of the Liukou was frightened, the commander of this army is the champion of the Daming Palace, only in his twenties, during the garrison in Shaanxi, let the barren land of Shaanxi be stable.

How many people there are in the Zheng family, this is something that Huang Taiji can't know, but the appearance of such talents in the Ming Dynasty makes Huang Taiji extremely worried.

Huang Taiji, who suffered a heavy blow. did not mess up, and still according to the original plan, began the attack on Korea, although Dolgon, Duoduo and others asked to lead a large army to attack the Ming Dynasty again.

Korea was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it was always the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Apocalypse was seven years old. Huang Taiji once led a large army to defeat Korea, but not only did Korea not surrender. Instead, he got in touch with the Ming court and secretly dealt with Houjin, which made Huang Taiji extremely angry, this time, Huang Taiji made up his mind to completely make North Korea surrender.

If you can take North Korea. The Qing State could plunder on a large scale to recover losses, and in addition, it could also smash the Ming Dynasty's Dongjiang defense line and completely stabilize the rear of the Great Qing State.

In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from sending a large army to support Korea, Huang Taiji sent Jierharang to garrison Shenyang. Sent Duoduo to defend the mouth of the Liao River to block the reinforcements of the Ming army, and ordered Azig and Abatai to assist Duoduo and make meritorious contributions.

Daishan Dolgon Hauge and others all followed Huang Taiji on the expedition, and Fan Wencheng also followed Huang Taiji's side.

Huang Taiji has made up his mind this time, all the banner owners of the Eight Banners have been sent out, and the army, including the soldiers of the Mongolian left and right battalions and the Han army, conquered Korea, becoming the victory he must obtain, and the outlet to vent his anger, in this case, the fate of North Korea can be imagined.

Huang Taiji is a long-term expedition, with absolute tactical experience, he personally formulated a plan of battle, from the moment of the attack, the target is the Korean royal capital of Seoul, the city along the way simply ignored, Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon and Hauge to lead the left and right flanks of the army, straight to Seoul.

It took only twelve days for the army of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongol Left and Right Battalions to arrive at Seoul, the royal city of Korea, and completely surrounded Seoul, causing the Korean royal family to fall into complete panic.

The tactics of this hand had a great effect, and the Joseon Inzu Li was caught off guard, and he did not think that the scholars and people in Seoul had long been chaotic, and he did not think of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongol left and right battalions that resisted the invasion, and he thought of fleeing from Seoul.

Knowing that Seoul could not be defended, Li Liang led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to retreat to Namhansan Fortress, and at the same time sent all his family members to Ganghwa Island and sent envoys to negotiate with Huang Taiji, hoping to delay time.

Li Liang dispatched large armies from all over the country to resist the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongol left and right battalions, but they were all defeated without exception.

Li Liang thought about begging for the support of the Ming Dynasty, but the speed of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right camps was too fast, and in such a short period of time, I don't know if the envoys who went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty for help arrived in Beijing.

Of course, Huang Taiji knew Li Liang's thoughts, and he would not be polite at all, he sent a large army to surround the mountain fortress of Namhan, and on the other hand, he sent Dolgon to attack Ganghwa Island, such a two-pronged way can completely cut off Li Liang's illusions.

Huang Taiji's movements were very fast, he didn't think that anything would happen at all, after all, in this battle, the arrangement of a qiē was foolproof, and there would be no accidents.

The envoy of the DPRK arrived in the capital of Daming very quickly this time.

On December 7, the Korean envoys arrived in the capital, and at this time, the army led by Huang Taiji had not yet completely surrounded Seoul, the royal capital of Korea.

The arrival of the North Korean envoy in the capital caused a shock in the DPRK.

Although the Zheng army defeated the Houjin Tartars, but the fear of gold in the court has not been alleviated, looking at the army of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Zheng Jiajun who dared to fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars, the rest of the army, without such courage, even if it is the army stationed in Shanhaiguan, it can only stick to the city and avoid face-to-face fighting with the Houjin Tartars.

Huang Taiji personally led a large army to attack Korea, and whether the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue became a question of contention between the DPRK and China.

The faction represented by Zhang Fengyi believed that it was very difficult to reinforce Korea, and they raised difficulties from practical problems, including logistics and transportation, etc., and the actual meaning was hidden behind these difficulties, that is, the Ming army could not win the Golden Tartars, and if it was reinforced at this time, it would cause greater losses.

The faction represented by Qian Shisheng resolutely demanded reinforcements to North Korea.

The three major expeditions of Wanli are still the achievements of the imperial court, although the three battles have caused huge losses to the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a broken bone, but the three large-scale battles have established a high prestige for the Ming Dynasty.

After the battle of Sarhu, the influence of the Ming Dynasty in Southeast Asia has weakened significantly, and with the rise of the Later Jin Tartars in these years, the rogues within the Ming Dynasty have plundered, coupled with years of famine, so that the Ming Dynasty can not establish its prestige, and its influence in Southeast Asia has almost completely disappeared.

This time, the Houjin Tatars invaded Korea, and the imperial court just sent a large army to reinforce them, re-establish their prestige in Southeast Asia, and also take the opportunity to attack the Houjin Tatars.

It should be said that judging from the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible and cannot rush to aid North Korea, it is too late to protect itself, how can it be possible to rush to aid North Korea, and then say that the conquest needs silver, and North Korea cannot take out these silver.

Qian Shisheng and others should know the actual situation, and still proposed to reinforce North Korea, and their proposal was approved by Hou Xun, Tang Shiji and others, which has to be said to be a funny thing.

The head of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, did not express his position directly, and the opinions of the cabinet could not be completely unified.

Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, was particularly opposed to reinforcements to Korea, believing that it was unrealistic to do so.

Yang Sichang is very realistic, after all, he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he has just taken office, if the emperor decides to rush to aid North Korea, then he needs to worry about it, under the current situation, wanting to rush to the aid of North Korea is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation, not winning the war, and it is possible to directly introduce the disaster into the pass.

However, Yang Sichang is not a big fool, he knows why Qian Shisheng and others insist on rushing to the aid of North Korea, so it is not easy to publicly refute Qian Shisheng and others.

The envoys of North Korea are crying and crying every day, begging the Ming Emperor to send reinforcements, the Ming army has defeated the Houjin Tartars, he knows, after the battle was transmitted to Korea, the emperor also specially celebrated with the civil and military officials, thinking that North Korea's choice is correct, and it must only rely on the Ming Dynasty, and then say that the Korean royal family agrees with the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and does not look down on the Houjin Tartars at all, thinking that it is Hulu, when the emperor Taiji said that the emperor ascended the throne, the envoys of North Korea did not kneel at all, Even if he offends Huang Taiji and Houjin Tartar for this, he doesn't care.

The Korean envoy had no other way but to cry and cry to impress the Ming Emperor and the Ming Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

It was in the midst of such controversy that news from the Korean side kept coming, and the army led by Huang Taiji took the royal capital of North Korea, Seoul, with lightning speed, and surrounded the Korean Injo Li Liang in the mountain city of Hannam.

Huang Taiji's bravery, so that Zhang Fengyi and others have more sufficient reasons, at this time, even if they send a large army to rescue, it is too late, but the attitude of Qian Shisheng and others is still stubborn, they think that sending a large army to the rescue, the key is to defeat the Houjin Tartars, as for whether the Joseon royal family can insist, it has nothing to do with this rescue.

In the face of such controversy, the emperor did not immediately express his position.

On December 15, the emperor finally expressed his position, and sent the Korean envoy's request for help directly to the governor of Caoyun, Zheng Xunrui, without saying that he would send a large army to support, nor would he say that he would not send a large army to support.

The emperor's move made Zhang Fengyi and others worried, and Qian Shisheng and others happy.

When the North Korean envoy learned the news, he immediately set off for Huai'an to meet Zheng Xunrui. To be continued...... home of reading! Unique URL:
