Because he made an alternative poem, Ao Bai became the focus. He knew his level, and shouted in his heart that he was lucky, if it wasn't for such a modern poem in the textbook of his previous life, he wouldn't be able to think of something even if he wanted to break his head.

There was still a period of time before the examination, and Li Xin and several fellow villagers lived in the Six Arts Academy and studied Wenshu. Ao Bai was not in a hurry to make friends with him, and was ready to examine his skills.

I had a lot of fun for two days. Wei Zhongxian sent someone to find Ao Bai and called him into the palace. Seeing Wei Zhongxian's appearance, Ao Bai was taken aback. It's just that I haven't seen it for half a month, Wei Zhongxian's hair is actually a lot white, and he looks ten years older.

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said unhappily: "Huang Peng, our family looked at the folds today, some people said that you think the Tatars will attack North Korea in the near future, is this true?" Why don't you just talk to our family about such a big thing, but you want to find those ministers? ”

"I didn't tell any of them." Ao Bai was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood. Said: "Don't worry, nine thousand years old. It must have been the king who told those people. A few days ago, I discussed the situation at the border with him and said that the Tatars might attack North Korea at the beginning of the year. We have cracked down on the Jin merchants, and the Tartars are short of food, so we must have taken action. This is just my speculation, in case they don't hit North Korea, won't I become an alarmist? So I didn't say it to anyone else. ”

Zhu Youzhen trusted Aobai, so he told the Wenchen who was flattering to him, and when these Wenchen wrote a report to the imperial court, they specifically mentioned that it was "Huang Peng" who analyzed it, in order to attract Wei Zhongxian's attention.

Wei Zhongxian's face softened a little and asked, "If they really fight North Korea, what should we do?" Send troops to help? ”

Ao Bai is a bit ambivalent about this question. The only way to aid North Korea is to send the Guanning army to attack Shenyang with all its might. Once captured, it will inflict a heavy blow on the Jin Kingdom. But this will not do him any good in the future.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Nine thousand years old, how much money is left in the Ming treasury now?" If you aid North Korea, how much will it cost? ”

Wei Zhongxian sighed: "Military salaries must be indispensable, and there is still some money in the treasury, but the emperor's health is getting worse and worse...... The money can't be messed around, and if you want to raise military expenses, you have to come from elsewhere. ”

Ao Bai nodded, the more sick Emperor Tianqi is, the greater the pressure on Wei Zhongxian, in case Emperor Qi dies one day, and the new emperor finds that the treasury has no money, what will he think of him as a powerful minister? In that year, after Zhang Juzheng's reform, the Ming Dynasty had nowhere to spend a lot of spare money, so it was very resolute to send troops to aid the DPRK. Now the military salaries at the border passes of the Ming Dynasty are very painful, and a group of ordinary people have tightened their belts to get by. The two discussed for a while, and what Ao Bai said was all ambiguous, and in the end, Wei Zhongxian had to make up his mind.

Wei Zhongxian decided to help North Korea, and it was very clear in the fold that if it was not saved, North Korea would almost be lost, and then the Jin State would not only have no worries, but also have an extra granary. In addition, not saving North Korea will chill the hearts of allies. Nowadays, most of the Mongolian tribes are still on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be troublesome if they defect. On key issues, he did not dare to be sloppy, and notified the emperor of the decree, ordering Guan Ningjun to stand by and wait for the opportunity to move.

Aobai's prediction was certainly correct. The two sides ostensibly negotiated peace, but there was no open market trading, and after the Jin merchants who secretly traded between Zhangjiakou and Jinguo were handled, there was serious inflation in Jinguo, and the price of rice skyrocketed. In this case, Huang Taiji can only carry forward Nurhachi's bandit spirit.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Huang Taiji ordered Erbeile Amin to be the commander, and Zilharang, Azig, Dudu, Yuetuo, and Shuotuo led tens of thousands of troops across the Yalu River, and used almost all their belongings to attack Korea, and quickly conquered the border city of Yiju.

There are 100,000 troops stationed in the Ningjin defense line of the Liaodong army, and they can take their old nest or cut off their back roads in the Yalu River.

At this critical moment, something strange happened. That is, the Guan Ningjun "did not know" that North Korea was attacked.

They were not far from North Korea, and they received a notice from the imperial court and were ready to fight. However, after half a month of war, North Korea did not ask for help, nor did Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town, and they actually kept the war "secret".

When there was no war, North Koreans rarely thought of the Ming Dynasty. But as long as someone fights over, or doesn't have to fight, as long as they threaten a little, they will cry and shout that their mother has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, hugging the thigh of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and asking for help with all their might. That's what they did when they were in Wanli.

But this time, the North Koreans are ambitious. The Eight Banners Army fought for many days, and the imperial court did not see a single Korean envoy, nor did it receive news of a war.

Perhaps, the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, started a war with the Eight Banners Army with this mentality. "Your Eight Banners Army is powerful, it doesn't matter if I can't beat it, I just don't ask Daming for help. That's how the king pulls! I stood in the gale, hated to be full of heartache, looking at the sky, the clouds in all directions, the sword in hand, asking who is the hero in the world! ”

That's what Li Kun thinks...... That's weird! In fact, in early February, he fled to Ganghwa Island with the princess's children, complaining every day: "Why haven't those people who asked for help have arrived in Daming yet?" Did they go on horseback, or did they go 'running'! ”

In addition, Li Liang also sent an envoy to Amin in an attempt to delay time. "Why do we fight such a peaceful, comfortable, peaceful, and harmonious nation? You're going to fight Mao Wenlong, Smecta! ”

After reading the letter, Amin felt that it made sense, and divided his troops to attack Mao Wenlong.

It is said that Mao Wenlong is invincible and domineering, and when he saw tens of thousands of people calling, he didn't ask for help. He may have thought something like this: "Tartars, come at me! What's coming at me! Lao Mao, I have to rely on my own strength to divide the victory and defeat with you today, this time either you die or you die! Let the Guanning army support? No need, let them take the credit of my Pingliao? ”

Stop it! In fact, as soon as Mao Wenlong heard that the Eight Banners Army had crossed the Yalu River, he sent people to Ningyuan to ask for support, but there was no news either. The Jin army is strong, like a group of pests, and he still hasn't counted how much combat strength Mao Wenlong's own team has? They could not be the righteous "blessing spirits", and they were defeated and retreated, and finally they were beaten and hid on Phi Island.

Why did Guan Ningjun "not receive" any rescue news? It was not because the blockade of the Eight Banners Army was too strict and the Great Wall was built in Korea, and no one could escape, but Huang Taiji led the remaining generals to approach the camp under the Sancha River and put on a posture of attacking Ning Jin. Although the number was only 10,000, it successfully bluffed the 100,000 Guan Ning army.

Generals are outside, and military orders can not be accepted. So it was not until February 11 that the ministers of Wang Zhichen, the governor of Jiliao, reported to the imperial court that it was rumored that Korea had been attacked. It was only on 19 February that Mao Wenlong's report was submitted to the Central Committee.

As for the 100,000 messengers who were in a hurry, they disappeared en masse, and they didn't know where they had died.

Now that the news is here, let's send reinforcements. On February 24, under the pressure of the imperial court, Yuan Chonghuan sent troops and sent Xu Lian to lead 1,000 sailors to support the Dongjiang River.

Wang Zhichen became angry when he heard it, and wrote a book to the court to visit Yuan Chonghuan. Mao Wenlong hid on Phi Island and there was no shortage of water troops, and Jin Guo had no water army at all. Did the Nima send these men to fight the Pirates of the Caribbean?

The Eighth Banner Army continued to march, rain or shine, and soon occupied Huangzhou and advanced to Pingshan. Li was forced to sue for peace, and in March he formed a "brotherly alliance" with the Jin state.

As soon as the imperial court saw that the aid was out of use, it ordered Yuan Chongfa to attack with troops and attack Shenyang while he was empty.

A few days later, Yuan Chonghuan said: "100,000 Tatars are attacking North Korea, and there are still 100,000 to defend it, where is the emptiness?" If I rashly go to Shenyang with my troops, and the army goes deeper, in case our soldiers are east of the right road, and the Tartars light cavalry attack my Guanning in the north, who will save Guanning? ”

In fact, the elite force in the hands of Huang Taiji is only 80,000 people, most of them are cavalry, and the total number of people who can fight is less than 100,000, which is all the belongings that Jin Guo has taken. Three hundred people are one cow, and the total number of eight banners is less than three hundred. Every cow is almost full. Tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Banner Army attacked Korea, and with the garrisons stationed in various places, the number of troops defending Shenyang was very small. And the Ming army is only more than 300 miles away from Shenyang, how can it go deeper?

This point is very clear, but Yuan Chonghuan, who has been dealing with Jin Guo for a long time, does not know.

Ao Bai also watched Yuan Chonghuan's sparseness and sweated...... Good guy, a few words out of thin air to conjure up 100,000 people for the Eight Banners Army. This battle can't be fought, Huang Taiji has already obtained the "Hundred Beasts Spectrum", and he has practiced kung fu until the stars change, and he will summon long live Youmu? !

After another n days, on March 24, Yuan Chonghuan reported that he sent Guan Ningjun Zhao and Zhu Mei to lead 9,000 people to the Sancha River to contain the Jin State. Since then, these 9,000 soldiers and horses have stagnated in the Sancha River, I don't know whether it is a happy fight against the landlord, or the soldiers have been watching again and again, in short, there has been no war on the Western Front. Not even a single Jurchen savage was seen until the end of the Korean War.

When Mao Wenlong fought with the Eight Banners Army, Yuan Chonghuan was not idle, he was busy writing articles praising Wei Zhongxian and applying to give him another ancestral hall in Ningyuan.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan's goal is very clear, his strategy is to sacrifice the Dongjiang allies, sacrifice Korea, sacrifice the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan and other allies, and buy time to repair the Maginot Line. Oh no...... It is the Guanningjin defense line.

During this time, the Ming army rushed to repair Jinzhou, Dalinghe, Xiaolinghe and other cities, hoping to repair these cities when the Jin State used troops against Korea, and successfully paralyzed Huang Taiji with "negotiating peace" as a "delaying strategy".

As for who relieved whom, it's really hard to say.

The Ming Dynasty had one less important ally in the strategic layout of Liaodong. Donggang Town also lost its tuntian, strongholds, and Korean supplies in terms of food and ordnance under the offensive of the Jin State, and retreated to Phi Dao.

What are the gains of the Ming army? When the Eight Banners Army returned to the division after the robbery, they were very bt, and they completed the construction of Jinzhou City at a speed comparable to that of Thunderbolt 7, and the time was ...... Half. (Maybe there are no "seeds" outside the gate.) ）
