Chapter 180 [The Fall of Korea]

Historically, overlords have tended to be ruthless, and such people are more likely to achieve great things because they can overcome their weaknesses. Whether the cause is just or evil, it requires a strong will and decisive courage. In the face of a crisis, any woman who is kind will send herself and her supporters to death, and the difference between a hero and a traitor is whether he handles things beyond people's moral boundaries. For example, Liu Bang, Liu Taigong was arrested by Xiang Yu when Liu Bang was fighting with Xiang Yu for the world, saying that he was going to cook him. Liu Bang didn't think so, and said that I would eat a cup of meat soup after cooking.

Ao Bai is well aware of this, and when he takes the first step, he cannot be in the kindness of the woman. He left the fate of the Jurchen family to heaven to decide, and what he wanted to decide was his own fate.

The strong are in control of their own destiny, while the weak are begging others, such as North Korea now. There were no generals in Korea who could take action, and the only one with some skill was Yi Sunsin, who had been dead for many years, and now they could not organize effective resistance at all.

On 3 October, Dolgon, Azig, Haug and others led a large army from Kwandian into Changshan Pass in order to contain the forces of the northeastern provinces of Korea. He ordered Mafuta, Acton and others to lead 300 elites disguised as merchants, day and night, to sneak to the Korean capital, preparing for a surprise attack. Then he sent two brothers, Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, to lead a thousand guards to the capital, following Mafuta and others. Just such a small number of people have plunged the territory of North Korea into chaos.

The vanguard led by Yue Tuo was too small, and Hauge ordered Yang Guli and others to lead 3,000 men and horses to reinforce as soon as possible. On the 11th, the army was stationed in Dingzhou, and Dudu, Azig and others led the elite cavalry to drive straight in.

If it was before, the Eight Banners Army also needed to send people to attack Phi Dao, Yuncong Island, Dahua Island, and Tieshan to prevent and cut off the Ming army's aid to Korea. But this time it was much simpler, the Ming Dynasty withdrew all the soldiers in Dongjiang Town, made a clear position, and never sent troops, and the Korean army was quickly defeated.

When the Eight Banners Army advanced to Seoul, the Korean king Li Liang led his ministers to flee to the mountain city of Nanhan, on the 15th, the Eight Banners Army arrived one after another, and on the 17th, the reinforcements of the two Eight Banners Army led by Azig and Yue Tuo also arrived in the Southern Han Dynasty one after another, with a total of more than 20,000 people, and set up a siege of the city.

After the Joseon king Yi was besieged in the mountain fortress of Namhan, he continued to send orders to Zhudao in wax letters to ask for help. Namhansanseong, the terrain is dangerous, and the city walls are strong. While strengthening the city defenses, the Koreans prayed for the Ming to send troops.

Li Ju wrote: "My country has been following the Celestial Empire for 200 years, and I have always been grateful to the Celestial Empire for its great kindness and help. Ding Mao's change, out of urgency, we signed a brotherhood alliance with the Jurchens, just to protect the people of the country. Now that they have turned their faces and refused to recognize people, and they have come again, are you really ruthless and not help? Now that Daming is very stable internally, and the border gate also occupies the initiative, why should the good form be handed over to others? ”

What Li Qi means is that North Korea is short of food, and the Ming Dynasty is providing relief every year, and it is appropriate to give them how much money they should give for nothing, and they never need to be grateful. Others went to fight them, China did not send troops, and it would be ruthless not to die for them.

North Korea has repeatedly succeeded in extorting bamboo against the Ming Dynasty before. For the sake of face, Emperor Wanli blindly wooed Korea, sacrificed many good young people of the Ming Dynasty for them to fight against Japan, and his country's economy was about to collapse. The result? As soon as the Jurchens hit over, they immediately picked up the graves of the martyrs of the Ming army in the cemetery, paid tribute to the Jin State, and stopped supplying grain to Dongjiang Town. What kind of super scoundrel is this? It's not a friend, it's just a pack of white-eyed wolves.

Sun Chengzong listened to Aobai's suggestion, resolutely ignored it, and fought if he liked, and if he wanted to destroy the country, he would lose the country. Anyway, North Korea has never flanked the Eight Banners Army with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to asking Daming for help, Li Liang also asked the troops from all over the country to gather. The subjects raised troops one after another, but the army of King Qin, all of them sent reinforcements to the siege point of the Jin State, and the general soldiers of Shen in Jeolla Province and Li in Chungcheong Province led their troops to relieve the siege, but they were severely attacked by the Eight Banners Army, and many people died. The two breakouts in the city also ended in failure, and there was a shortage of food and grass in the city, and people continued to flee and surrender.

Seeing that there was no hope for rescue and that there was a shortage of food and grass, the Korean monarchs and ministers proposed to surrender, but they were unwilling to leave the city. They weren't stupid and found out that something wasn't right. If the Jin Kingdom accepts the surrender, it will not come, and this time it wants to implement a full-scale occupation and let them lose the country.

Namhansan Fortress was besieged for more than a month, and Dolgon and Hauge refused the Korean request for surrender, and the people in the city were even more unsettled.

The Eight Banners Army is not good at attacking cities, and if it is attacked, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. At this time, Dolgon came up with a plan and divided his troops to attack Ganghwa Island, where a group of imperial relatives were hiding. Ten days later, the Eight Banners Army occupied Ganghwa Island and captured the Korean princess, the two princes, countless ministers, and the wives of the ministers. The Eight Banners used the lives of these people to blackmail Li Liang. In the end, Li Liang had no choice but to go out of the city and surrender.

It took less than two months for the Jurchens to take North Korea lightly. Their army is not as effective as Mao Wenlong, and it can be described as vulnerable. If you resist desperately, you can still make the Eight Banners Army suffer more losses, but most people have a glimmer of hope that the Eight Banners Army can still withdraw under the condition of peace. But they were wrong. The Eight Banners Army had no intention of withdrawing, but directly occupied the Joseon Palace, and the king, empress, and a group of ministers all became prisoners.

Dolgon, Hauge and others entered the Joseon royal palace. After seeing the beautiful scenery here, they all understood why Amin didn't want to leave last time. Although the military capability of the DPRK is very weak, it is no worse than the Han people in terms of their ability to build houses. The palace is much better than Shenyang. Moreover, life in the palace is very luxurious, and the economic composition of North Korea is a group of underfed ordinary people with a few fat-headed and big-eared royals.

Huang Taiji had already explained his plan before, and in the next step, he would let some of the Jurchens and Han people in the Jin State move to North Korea, and at the same time, the Eight Banners Army quietly returned to the division in batches. The residents moved to Korea to paralyze the attention of the Ming army, and then went around from the Xifeng Pass to attack the Central Plains together with the Mongolian Karaqin tribe.

Peace talks, Huang Taiji also wants. But he didn't want Jin to become a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, he just wanted the Ming to recognize their independent status, and it would be better if the Ming Dynasty could fight and give them tribute every year. He thinks that the Jin State of the Song Dynasty was able to gain the upper hand in the war back then, and of course it is possible now, the Ming Dynasty is the head of the Wenchen, and there is no figure like Yue Fei. Man Gui and Mao Wenlong, who were the only ones who were a little threatened, also withdrew, and everything was ready to march into the Central Plains.

These days, Ao Bai has been staying in Beijing, turning a deaf ear to the war at the border pass. What he wants is for Kim to occupy Korea, and of course he will not send reinforcements. If Wanli had not unconditionally helped North Korea fight the war, the Ming Dynasty would not have fallen into an economic crisis.

At that time, the Jianzhou Jurchen was slowly growing with the help of Li Chengliang, North Korea just didn't have such an opportunity, if one day their military strength was improved, and what powerful weapons were developed, the first threat would definitely be the Ming Dynasty. What brothers, Fanbang is all nonsense, only strength can decide everything. Emperor Wanli is a fool, he only went to give benefits to North Korea twice in three days, and Ao Bai has no interest in settling with the weak.

After the Korean War, the Donglin Party became active again, and every day they complained bitterly about the situation at the border gates, and it was wrong to impeach Ao Bai and withdraw the troops of Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Town. If you don't help North Korea, the Jin State will be stronger in the future, and it will pose a great threat to attack the Ming Dynasty together after uniting Mongolia and North Korea. These people all understand very well at this time, and the interesting thing is that if the Eight Banners Army does not attack North Korea, it is these people who want Mao Wenlong to die the most. Now it's good that they even impeached Sun Chengzong together. If it weren't for the great power of worship, the emperor would not go to court and would not take them seriously. They can really make a fuss.

Many Donglin Party said that "Chongzhen" had changed, was lazier than before, and did not listen to their advice. Ao Bai was worried that these people would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he asked Chongzhen to appoint officials early, firmly grasped the military power in his hands, and sent troops to Nanjing City, in case these literati ate too much one day, and recruited businessmen to establish a Nanming government or something. As long as they were prepared, they would not have staged a coup d'état, because these people were bleeding and inciting others to do it and they would never tire of it, and they would never do it themselves.

Hari Chagai also returned to the capital, and the border was reduced, and there was nothing to do with him. Bring your wife back and stand by. His golden bell jar had reached the second layer, and he was very envious when he heard that Ao Bai was rushing to the sixth layer.

After chatting for a while, Hari Chagai said, "There are two things to inform the master. The first is that Master Sun has found the right person. He's been doing the same thing you told me about lately, and he should be able to succeed. ”

Ao Bai nodded and asked, "What about the second one?" ”

Hari Chagai smiled bitterly: "The second thing is that when I accompanied Lord Sun to Ningyuan City, I met a kid who practiced the golden bell jar, he had already practiced to the second level, and he also knew the Shaolin Temple's precept-breaking knife, I asked him who taught him, and he didn't say anything." ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Oh, could he be a disciple of Shaolin Temple?" What's his name? ”

"It's the son of General Ning Yuancheng, called Wu Sangui"

Wu Sangui turned out to be this anti-bone boy? Ao Bai immediately thought of one thing, crazy I'm afraid it's in Ningyuan City. He had already seen the medicinal materials needed in the back layers of the Golden Bell Jar, especially the few things needed in the tenth layer, which were not available in the Central Plains at all, and were rare even in Liaodong. Now it is forbidden to trade with the Jin Kingdom, and if you want to continue to practice the Golden Bell Jar, you must go to Liaodong to find medicinal materials.

Ao Bai didn't know why he was crazy to find Wu Sangui, if it was for Wu Sangui to find a way to find medicine, it didn't matter, as long as he didn't lead the Eight Banners soldiers into the customs for medicinal materials, Wu Sangui did this job in his previous life. If they help Huang Taiji, there will be a big mess...
