Nine cities in Northeast Province.

As the Ming Empire has been promoting the construction of Northeast Province over the years, even this small border city in the eastern Liaodong region has shown a thriving appearance.

It is different from the original historical Jianyu who set up a ban in the early and middle Qing Dynasty.

After the Ming Empire eradicated the remnants of the construction of the Northeast region, the cabinet began to encourage the people inside the Guannei to immigrate to Guanwai, and even encouraged the people outside the Guanxi to form clans and clans to move to Guanwai, allowing the people outside the Guanxi to own their own land and private property.

The former wanted to keep his ancestral business, and there was no so-called dowry, and the latter, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Youzhen, did not think about taking the Northeast as his private property, but wanted to take this opportunity to expand the Han cultural circle and the territory inhabited by the Han people as much as possible.

Therefore, the Ming Society hopes that more and more Han people will go to live outside the border.

As a result, "breaking through the eastern part of the country" has become a popular social phenomenon in the Ming Empire, and most of the people in Shandong and Henan began to move to the northeast one after another, resulting in today's Jiuliancheng also speaking Chinese with a Shandong accent.

Tao An and his family have been rooted in Jiulian City for five years, specializing in soybean cultivation, with the improvement of the living standards of the people of the Ming Empire, the people's demand for nutrition is getting higher and higher, the price of bean food continues to rise, and soybean cultivation has become an economic occupation that many agricultural workers are actively engaged in, especially in the Guanwai area.

After all, the yield of soybeans per mu is not high, the land requirements are high, and the cost of land outside the customs is low, so it is naturally more suitable for soybean planting outside the customs, and Tao An's family has their own 3,000 acres of fertile land in Jiulian City, and specializes in planting soybeans.

This day is the day of soybean harvesting, Tao An took his family and hired workers to start harvesting soybeans very early, because of the improvement of water conservancy projects, especially the application of steam-powered water pumps, the drought problem caused by the climate of the Xiaoice River was solved, coupled with the absence of turbulent war, the Liaodong region has become a veritable fertile field in Daming, and the black land has officially become synonymous with fertile land.

Even Tao An's soybean production is getting higher and higher year by year, and now Tao An has to call his daughter to help harvest soybeans.

Hermes-Epitek was always industrious, keen to farm and build rather than slaughter foreign countries like Genghis Khan to fulfill his ambitions, even if the Dutch were severely punished, the Dutch slaughtered the Han people first.

Nowadays, the rulers of the Ming Empire are actively engaged in the construction of railways, and Han people like Tao An are also diligently building their new homes after taking root outside the Guan, cultivating a former wilderness into a fertile field for growing soybeans.

"Girl, you calculate how many of these, the money you will exchange for the potatoes you will receive this year will be your dowry next year", Tao An threw an account book to his daughter Ah Hong, who graduated from the third primary school in Jiulian City, and the one named Ah Hong hurriedly cut a handful of bean stalks and threw them aside, walked over, and said with a blushing face: "The master will arrange people!" ”

At this time, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, and as soon as Ah Hong finished speaking, she saw her father fall to the ground, bleeding from her chest, she couldn't help but look back and saw hundreds of North Korean soldiers walking out of the opposite mountain forest, and the flintlock pistol in the hand of a Korean soldier was smoking, and walked towards Ah Hong, and laughed obscenely: "Han girl, it's really tender, hehe!" ”

Other peasants and workers who were still harvesting soybeans for the Tao family in the fields also stood up, and at this time, those North Korean soldiers shot without thinking, killing dozens of Han people on the spot, and the golden ridges were stained with blood, and the quiet and happy life of a bumper harvest was shattered.

The rest of the Han family were either too frightened to know what to do, or they ran away, but a group of more Korean soldiers chased after them and surrounded all the Han people here, and one of the Korean officers shouted, "Don't move!" This is our territory in North Korea, and now you are our slaves, and whoever moves again will be killed! ”

After all, these were ordinary people, and they didn't know what to do, so they had to stay still, and these Korean soldiers began to force these Han people to load the loaded soybeans into the truck, and pull them with their own army, while those that were not loaded or still growing in the fields were burned.

For a time, the whole field was in flames, and the Han girl named Ah Hong could only helplessly watch her property being plundered and destroyed like this, and even she herself was humiliated to death by the North Korean soldiers.

In the autumn of the 38th year of Chongzhen, such an incident continued to occur in the adjacent areas of Liaodong and Korea in Northeast China, and Jiulian City was even attacked and occupied by the North Korean army because of being caught off guard, and the people in the city were coerced into slavery by the North Korean soldiers.

When such incidents were reported back to China, Zhu Youzhen had just approved the cabinet's resolution on the construction of a railway line from Shenyang to Beijing.

"The North Korean soldiers raided the area from Tielingwei to Kangzhouwei, and Jiulian City fell?"

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen stood up quite surprised, and immediately ordered the generals of the Generalissimo's Mansion to gather in the Generalissimo's Mansion, and said: "North Korea has been coveting my Ming Dynasty's Tielingwei and Kangzhou Wei regions since the tribute, because my Ming Dynasty has mainly focused on revenge against the Netherlands and expanding overseas rights and interests over the years, and has given this Korean army a chance to grow, and now it is even more brazenly attacking my Ming territory and killing my Han people, and its crime should be punished!" Now that the empire needs to march into Siberia, let's subdue North Korea first! ”

The Ming Empire has also been increasing troops in the northeast, but because more than a dozen Mongolian tribes in the northeast need to be eliminated and reinstated, the empire's army in the northeast has not had time to launch an attack on Korea, and the military expenditure is mainly used for the war and internal digestion of the Netherlands.

But now as soon as he knew that North Korea had first attacked the Ming Empire, Yan Yingyuan, the northeastern governor of the Ming Empire, immediately transferred a guard battalion of Dingliao's right guard to recover Jiulian City.

The battalion commander immediately rushed to the city of Jiulian with 5,000 Ming troops, and the three battalion rifled cannons bombarded the Jiulian City, and the 5,000 Ming troops rushed in on the spot, and directly two hand-cranked machine guns defeated the 3,000 Korean soldiers who were in the city gate, and the Korean army withdrew from the Jiulian City, but the offensive posture of the Ming Dynasty did not stop because of this, and the 5,000 Ming troops chased out of the city, and they were shot directly on the spot if they caught a Korean soldier.

At the same time, Yan Yingyuan immediately mobilized the main Guards Army, the First Army and the Sixth Army, to move from the two directions of Haizhou Wei and Guangning Wei to Jiulian City.

The Beiyang Fleet of the Ming Empire also began to assemble on Phi Dao, and 130 warships plus a new type of steam and sail dual-powered warship had blocked the Korean coastline.
