At the beginning of April, the Qing army finally discovered the Ming army building a fort and wall in Lushun through some exploration.When the news reached Shenyang, Dai Shan and Duoduo were shocked, and they unconsciously remembered Dongjiang Town back then.If a Ming army is allowed to take root in Liaodong, there will be no peace outside the entire Guanwai.The Manchu Qing Dynasty forbade the Han people to go out of the Shanhaiguan to go to the Guanwai, because they were afraid that the Han people would occupy their old nest and make them lose their way back.As cultural dwarfs, the Manchus were not confident in ruling China, and always felt that one day, they would be driven out of the Central Plains, so they kept the land outside the Guan, so that in case they could not stay in the Central Plains, there would still be a place for them to continue to survive.At that time, the existence of Dongjiang Town made the Manchu Qing extremely passive in terms of strategy, and could only trap Liaozhong, almost unable to hold on, so Dai Shan and Duoduo would definitely not tolerate the Ming army occupying Lushun.Duoduo immediately led the army, galloped towards Lushun, and killed Jinzhouwei on the tenth day of April.After Zhao Ming got the news, he withdrew the personnel to Shandao, Bidao, and Xiaolongshan Island, leaving only Fort Arthur, which had begun to take shape.The Ming army relied on the fort strong, and in the mouth of Lushun, there were warships and artillery to cover the fortress, Duoduo attacked for several days, suffered from the shelling of Ming ships and ships, and lost more than 1,600 people, so they gave up the attack and retreated to Jinzhouwei.Duoduo ordered the Qing army to build a city here, confront the Ming army, and wait for the Ming army to run out of food.In late April, Xia Wanchun secretly went to North Korea to meet with Lin Qingye, the minister of the pro-Ming faction of North Korea, and was introduced by him to meet the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, and reached a secret discussion.As early as last year, after Hong Chengchou blockaded the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which caused Zhejiang's maritime smuggling trade to suffer a heavy blow, Zhao Ming's financial resources were cut off, and the way to obtain military funds was also cut off, so he sent Cheng Bi to North Korea, through the hands of North Korea, to purchase leather, iron, and horses.Although Korea was a subject state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, North Korea not only had no feelings for the Manchus, but instead despised the Manchus.Korea at this time was completely different from later, and of course this difference was largely due to the decline of Han culture.In the past, North Korea identified with Han culture and was proud of being the dog of the Ming Dynasty, but later they did not agree with it and changed to be someone else's dog.In the Ming Dynasty, from the beginning of the founding of the country, North Korea pursued a highly pro-Ming policy of "big things" to the Ming Dynasty, and always used courtesy to make things clear.Among the many vassals of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea's respect and yearning for the Ming Dynasty is definitely the first, and it can be said that it is the same as its own son.The Ming Dynasty once fought with the rebel next door for the sake of North Korea's own son, and taught the rebel a hard lesson and stood out for North Korea.After the Imjin War, the North Korean people were grateful for the grace of the Ming Dynasty for their reconstruction, and they were even closer to the Ming Dynasty.After the rise of Jiannu, North Korea, as the son of the Ming Dynasty, also thought of contributing to the state of his parents, but the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army was as stable as ever.In the face of the men and horses of the Japanese Kingdom, they were beaten to the ground, ran across the Yalu River, hid in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and were boldly broken by the Japanese Invaders, who did not dare to fight with the Japanese Invaders, and brazenly claimed, "Death will also die in the state of parents!"
”When fighting Jiannu, North Korea also contributed, Salhu battle, sent more than 14,000 people, with the Ming army on the expedition, the result was easily defeated by Jiannu, more than 14,000 people were wiped out, and even Marshal Jiang Hongli was captured.For generations, the Central Plains Dynasty looked down on this cold and barren land, and only the earthquake-stricken Wa Kingdom next door regarded it as a treasure.Although North Korea had the heart to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, it really did not have the strength, and there were no 20,000 troops in the country.At this time, the king of Joseon saw that he had kicked the iron plate, he was afraid of the Manchu Qing revenge, and felt that the DPRK could not defeat Jiannu no matter what, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Nurhachi, expressing his willingness to surrender.There is no way to do it, I really can't do it, and I don't have any soldiers left.The king of Korea, Gwanghae-kun, was mostly forced to be helpless in order to protect North Korea, but the Koreans at this time were much more grateful than the later ones.After Nurhachi became Khan, although he won the battle against Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty was still a behemoth, and the diplomatic environment of the Later Jin Dynasty was still very bad, and many of the surrounding Mongols and Jurchen tribes were still connected with the Ming Dynasty.In this case, the first feudal clan of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea secretly took refuge in Houjin, and Nurhachi naturally wanted to publicize.Gwanghae-jun secretly wrote a letter to Shun, mainly to stabilize Houjin and ask Houjin not to fight North Korea, but the North Koreans who were straight in the intestines stopped doing it and were angry.Without waiting for the Ming Dynasty to issue an order to ask, what happened to the little brother, how did he get together with Nurhachi, the Koreans themselves abolished Gwanghae-kun who wrote the letter.The Heavenly Empire, the state of parents, the rebellion of Renchen, how did the state of parents save you, now that your parents are in trouble, you not only don't help, but also help Jiannu, are you still human?
In this way, the Koreans overthrew Gwanghaejun and was succeeded by Ayayangjun Li Liang, who was known in history as "Injo anyway".Although the heart of the DPRK is towards the Ming Dynasty, but its strength is limited after all, Li Liang continued to implement the pro-Ming national policy, and immediately attracted the attack of Jiannu.The Manchu Qing invaded Korea twice, and Li Liang was very unconvinced, but the thin arms and legs were finally captured by the Manchus and had to surrender to the Manchus.The Qing army invaded twice, and North Korea almost lost the country, so that the Koreans finally realized, "Although the captives are ugly, they can govern me more than enough!"
”After realizing this, North Korea no longer continued to oppose the Qing Dynasty on the surface, but secretly plotted, writing to the Ming Dynasty on the one hand, hoping that the state of his parents could understand that North Korea really could not defeat Jiannu, and it was not allowed to turn to the Manchus, while thinking about accumulating strength.Helplessly, North Korea is really poor, and the strength has not accumulated anything, but waiting for the news of Emperor Chongzhen's hanging to reach North Korea.When the whole country cried, the whole country wore filial piety for 100 days, and the king of Joseon, Li Liang, heard the news of the Son of Heaven hanging himself, and bluntly said that it was like "the sky is falling apart!"
”At this time, although Korea was a vassal of the Manchu Dynasty, it had contacts with Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming, and was ready to contact the Wa State and find the Tokugawa family to borrow troops to attack the Manchus.Zhao Ming has also been in contact with North Korea for a while, and the king of North Korea, Li Liang, once said that at the right time, North Korea is willing to return to the Ming anyway, but Zhao Ming sternly stopped him and told North Korea not to be impulsive.With the combat effectiveness of the Korean army, it is like an Eastern Italy, if it is really anyway, it will definitely collapse in a rush, and the Ming army will have to save it, so it is better to continue to be in the Qing camp for the time being, and use the identity of the Manchu vassal to buy some supplies for the Ming army from the Manchu Qing and Mongolia.In those years, the Manchu Qing relied on Jin merchants, and Zhao Ming now relies on North Korea.Zhao Ming obtained a large number of supplies in Lianghuai, some of which Zhao Ming did not need, so he exchanged some livestock and grain through North Korea.Xia Wanchun brought back five boats of grain from North Korea, but Duoduo in Jinzhou was already approaching grain and grass, in desperation, Duoduo could only leave 3,000 cavalry to monitor the Ming army on the front line of Jinzhou, and he led the army back to Shenyang to eat, and soon returned to Guannei.Zhao Ming's army was away for a long time, and after the time came to May, the grain looted was also consumed hugely, and it was necessary to transport grain from the south, so he also led the fleet and returned to Zhoushan through Shandong, ending the expedition from October last year to May of the third year of Longwu, which lasted for half a year.
