Chapter 52 Chenghua, Plough Court
Three years after Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty made waves again.
Jurchen offense.
This is not the first time.
In the previous two years of Chenghua, the Jurchen Department of Jianzhou, led by Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, killed and plundered more than 100,000 people in Liaodong 97 times in Koubian within one year.
Zhu Jianshen was furious when he heard the news, and immediately convened a cabinet meeting.
In the original history, Dong Shan at this time didn't know what was going on, as if he regarded Daming as a soft persimmon, and even went to Beijing openly, and said wildly that he would take his subordinates to invade the south, and was naturally taken down directly by Chenghua.
It's just that the strength of the Ming Dynasty in this time and space is much stronger, and although the strength of Mongolia in the north has recovered, it is far from threatening the Ming Dynasty, which also makes Dong Shan a lot more cautious, at least not bold enough to go to Beijing.
However, in the face of absolute power, this is actually not much different, and Zhu Jianshen finally made the decision to send troops to fight back.
And Yu Qian, as the first assistant of the cabinet, stood with the emperor clearly, although he opposed the reckless use of force, but what the Jurchen Ministry did this time was really too much!
"With Zhao Fu leading 50,000 troops, and then ordering North Korea to send troops to help, I will definitely make these captives pay the price!"
Zhu Jianshen slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, and his words popped out of his teeth:
"Smash its nest and destroy its species!"
Everyone in the cabinet couldn't help but gasp - Your Majesty, this is to do something to exterminate the clan! It can be seen that the young emperor is really angry.
But it's no wonder that Emperor Chenghua is ruthless, after all, the souls of more than 100,000 Ming people in Liaodong are still watching from the sky!
Zhao Fu hung the seal of General Jinglu, with the eunuch Huang Shun as the supervising army, leading 50,000 troops, and North Korea also sent 10,000 troops to help, and the two sides gathered in the northeast.
Chenghua plough court began here.
……
The flames rose into the sky, and countless corpses lay on the cold ground.
At this time, it was October, the cold wind was biting, and the snowflakes were falling, freezing the world.
It's like Dong Shan's heart.
He was not captured in this plane, but the ending remained the same, as if God had let him stay here just to witness the destruction of his own clan.
Only when he really hit the hard side did he know how much difference he had between himself and Da Ming.
When his opponents were no longer the guards in Liaodong who had been warless for a long time because of their submission, he really saw the gap between himself and the Ming Dynasty.
Dong Shan could only watch as the Shenji Battalion's firecrackers erupted with deadly tongues of fire, beating the enemy into rag sacks; He could only watch as the Mongol cavalry swept by, leaving behind a headless corpse, and could only watch as the spears picked up his people and spilled blood on the ground.
The army of 10,000 people collapsed in an instant, and he fled back to his lair, while the Ming army followed.
The huge camp was trampled by the iron hooves of the Ming army.
Looking at this scene, Dong Shan knelt on the ground, and tears flowed down in an instant.
At this time, his heart was full of remorse, how could he have thought that this Da Ming, who usually seems to be weak and bullied, would have such an iron-blooded side.
If, if you didn't provoke the Ming Dynasty in the first place......
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
At this time, Zhao Fu was listening to the reports of the soldiers around him.
"Four hundred and sixty-seven Jurchen villages have been destroyed, and more than 10,000 cattle and sheep have been captured, and according to your orders, women and children will not move."
"It's just, it's just the people...... Only more than a thousand people were rescued, and the rest, all, died. ”
Zhao Fu listened to his words, and only felt that the anger in his heart was vigorous!
Tens of thousands of families on the border of Liaodong were destroyed, most of whom were directly killed, but more than 10,000 people were also plundered by them.
But in a matter of months, there were only more than 1,000 people left, and you can imagine what kind of atrocities they had suffered.
"Damn it......" Zhao Fu let out a low cry from his chest.
At this time, the cleaning was nearing the end, and a torch was thrown, and the camp was set on fire, and the fire was ignited in an instant, which made him feel a little better.
"The leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou has been captured, and he loves Xinjueluo Dongshan!"
Another soldier arrived to report that they were riding horses, and behind them a figure was led by a rope, stumbling, trying to keep up with the horses.
Zhao Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, and that hatred welled up in his heart, he smiled coldly and said:
"Take it back and keep it guarded. The official wants to present a prisoner to His Majesty and entertain him well......"
The Ming army returned south, leaving behind a mess and a flock of crows circling all over the place.
……
"If the strong are killed, the old and childish are captured, if the earth collapses and the fire is extinguished, it still disintegrates and the ice disappears, it is empty and the pig hides its house, and its hole is empty and its nest is empty, and within ten days, the captivity is depressed."
Yan Ling read the article at hand and couldn't help but smack his lips.
In history, there have been two ploughs in Liaodong, and it seems that this is the first time.
Chenghua Liting, under that circumstance at that time, had actually done a great job, and the Central Plains army, which claimed to be the division of benevolence and righteousness, rarely did such a thing.
It can be seen that Emperor Chenghua was really angered.
And after the Jianzhou Jurchen was slumped by this, it should have collapsed.
Historically, however, the Ming Dynasty did a very confusing act afterwards.
Dong Shan's son Jianzhou Zuowei commanded Tongzhi to show his appeasement to the remnants of the Jianzhou Jurchens.
Yes, he killed his father and named his son the new leader.
Directly led to the fifteenth year of Chenghua, the Jianzhou Jurchen once again Koubian, which attracted the second plough court of the Ming Dynasty.
Seriously, if it weren't for the platform-like behavior of the Ming Dynasty this time, the territory of the Jianzhou Jurchen would have been carved up by Haixi and the savages a long time ago, where would the rest of the matter.
Yan Ling was silent for a while.
He recalled the ninety-nine games in his previous life, and more than half of them were all failed to survive the Qing army heading south.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Just to reduce the difficulty of the end of the Ming Dynasty!
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the imperial court began to discuss measures to defend the land that had been established in the state.
At that time, although the court had been ploughed and the caves had been swept away, some remnants of Jianzhou had survived, and the Ming Dynasty had no interest in launching a campaign against them again.
So someone proposed:
"Why don't you let Dong Shan's son Toluo take charge of Jianzhou Zuowei again? Regardless of my past suspicions, it is not a good story to give these places to them to live again! The vassals of the domestic countries will definitely be more convinced! ”
And this suggestion was approved by a large number of courtiers:
"Yes, I have everything in the Heavenly Empire, so why covet the barbarian land!"
"Good idea, so that all the vassals will definitely return to their hearts, and the Jurchens will definitely not rebel! It's a plan to surrender without a fight! ”
"Isn't this the old saying 'hit a stick for a sweet date'? It's a really good way to recover the girl! ”
Yan Jingxiu stood aside, if it was in the past, then his heart and a few people's thoughts should be similar, as a Confucian student who was heavily influenced by Confucianism, he did not have much desire for territory, but enjoyed the worship of the Celestial Empire by all nations.
But remembering the conversation between Lao Zu and him, he still stood up and expressed his objection:
"Your Majesty, the minister is against it! The land of Jianzhou can be directly controlled by the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, it would rather be vacant there, so that wolves, insects, tigers and leopards can be chic, and it must not be handed over to the Jianzhou Jurchen! ”
In the second year of Chenghua, Dong Shan led a coalition army with the Haixi Jurchens, totaling more than 15,000 people, into Liaodong, which shows that his troops are not small. Although the number of beheadings is small, the number of kills is not necessarily high.
