Dorbo understood that his good brother wanted to use himself as a human shield and use the three thousand miles of North Korea to resist the mighty iron army of Ming Dynasty!
But the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has already said that as long as he keeps his peace... one side is brothers and the other side is country, how do you choose?
"Lao Wu!" Donnie said in a gloomy tone at this time, "Our brothers are different from Donggu and Ajige!
We are the boys of the Aixinjueluo family! What we carry on our shoulders is the inheritance passed down by our ancestors, the ambitions of our Aixinjueluo family, and the blood feud between us and the Ming Dynasty!
And Dongguo and Ajige are women. Taking the heads of the enemy and the women of the enemy's family as trophies is the happiest thing for a prairie man!
Lao Wu, think about whose hands Lin Dan Khan’s Fujins fell into? Those women were all married and had children, and they were all so popular, not to mention the two little girls Dongguo and Ajige? But what about Lin Dan Khan’s son Ezhe? He died young and left no heirs! That Abnai was just too lucky to catch up with the decline of the Qing Dynasty before it was his turn to die young...
Moreover, we are not the biological brothers of Dongguo and Ajige. Even if they are favored, they will try every means to keep our brothers? "
Dolbo trembled when he heard this, showing a horrified expression.
Donny is right! I am different from Dongguo and Ajige! He is a son of the Aisin Gioro family, and he cannot be a peaceful king in North Korea just by being more conservative... Moreover, even if the Ming Emperor does not interfere with North Korea's affairs for the time being, Doni will not allow himself to be in North Korea. Carefree.
In addition, after all, I am not Dorgon's real son. Few of the Zhengbai Banners who were assigned to North Korea really regard me as their master... It is really hard to be a king!
"Second brother, I understand!" Dorbo nodded heavily, "I will move the capital immediately after I return, from Hanyang to Qingzhou."
Gyeongju is located in the southeast corner of the Korean Peninsula. It is the ancient capital of Silla. It is only more than 40 miles away from Jiulongpo, the former concession of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea, more than 70 miles away from Ulsan, another port city in the southeast of North Korea, and 1 mile away from Pusan Pu. One hundred sixty or seventy miles.
Moreover, the area around Gyeongju, Ulsan, and Busan is a series of hills. The mountains are not high, but the terrain is very complicated, with valleys all over and rivers crisscrossing it. As long as some important valley mouths and river intersections are controlled, the entire area can be defended.
The terrain of the three ports of Busan, Ulsan, and Guryongpo is also very dangerous, and they can all be blocked by forts.
"Not only must we defend Gyeongju, Ulsan, Busan, and Guryongpo," Donnie added, "Wonsan must also be defended!"
Wonsan is an important port in the northeast of the Korean Peninsula. If the Ming army wanted to bypass the Korean Peninsula and launch a landing operation near Vladivostok, it would have to secure one or two ports on the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula for landing, otherwise it would be difficult to fight a landing operation.
With Manchuria's military strength on the Korean Peninsula, it is impossible to defend the Eight Routes of Korea, but it is still difficult to say after shrinking to a small mountainous area centered on Gyeongju and Wonsan.
"Okay!" Donnie nodded, "I will definitely divide my troops to defend Yuanshan when I go back!"
Doni nodded and looked at his third brother Bakdu and fourth brother Chani. Like Zhulan, they were both powerless bastards.
The sons of Duduo are also noble by direct descendants and humble by concubines. Doni and Dorbo are legitimate children, while the other sons are concubine children.
After Dolbo passed to Dorgon, there was only one direct descendant left among Duoduo's sons, which was Doni.
According to Manchu tradition, all of Duduo's tribes and territories must be passed on to his only legitimate son, Duoni! However, Zhulan, Bakdu, and Chani were all concubines and could not be assigned territory or tribes, so they could only serve as ministers to Doni.
And Duoerbo inherited Dorgon's family business - Duoduo could annex Azig and Fulin's tribes, but he could not annex Dorgon's direct descendant Zhengbai Banner.
In order to prevent Doni and Doerbo from fighting for power after his death, Dodo divided the core old Manchu tribes when he was seriously ill. All of Dorgon's direct descendants Niulu were given to King Dorbo of Korea, and they were also transferred to North Korea and placed in Hanyang, Kaesong, and Pyongyang. Four of Dorgon's confidants, He Luohui, Bo Hui, Subai and Wu Bai, were also appointed to serve as the governor of Hanyang, the capital of Hanyang, the capital of Kaesong and the capital of Pyongyang respectively to assist Dorgon in governing the Eight Routes of Korea.
But Doni was very worried about Dodo's arrangements during his lifetime!
The two brothers, Bakdu and Chani, are masters with well-developed limbs and simple minds. They have always followed Doni closely and understand Doni's thoughts. Now that I see the look in Donnie's eyes, I immediately understand.
Chaney spoke first: "Lao Wu, let me go back to North Korea with you! We brothers will work together to turn North Korea into a place where the Ming army failed!"
Bakdu also said: "Lao Wu, let me go back with you too! I have been studying Western military techniques with the foreign generals of Zhbania for more than a year, and I have made some small achievements. I just happened to go to North Korea to help you train troops!" "
"Okay!" Dolbo nodded heavily, "Let's go back to North Korea together... and fight Emperor Zhu together!"
"Yes, Emperor Zhu fought hard!"
"Fight!"
The three brothers Dolbo, Bakdu, and Chani made a good point and wanted to go back to North Korea together to fight Emperor Zhu.
But the development of things was beyond their expectations. After the three of them returned to North Korea, it was not the Ming army that they had to deal with, but Dorgon's biological daughter and Dorgon's only bloodline, Dongguo Gege.
"What? Gege is here? When? What are you doing?"
When Dorbo entered Pyongyang City, he learned the news of Donggu Gege's arrival in North Korea from the sixty-year-old Pyongyang capital commander Wu Bai.
"Your Majesty, Gege arrived at Incheon Port three days ago on a Ming Dynasty gunboat. She said she came to North Korea to visit relatives!"
"Coming to visit relatives?" Dorbo frowned. Isn't Dongguo Gege's relative his own?
He thought for a while and then asked: "How many gunboats came? Did they bring troops? Where are the people?"
"Returning to the prince, there was only one gunboat that sent Gege over. In addition to Gege's messengers, there were also 100 musketeers who came with the ship. Now Gege's people are still in Incheon... waiting for the king to greet him in person. .”
"You want Lao Wu to come to greet you?" Bakdu, who came with Dolbo, shouted, "Is a daughter born from a concubine worthy of being welcomed by the prince of Korea?"
Wu Bai frowned a little when he heard this. Dongguo Gege's mother was a concubine from the Korean royal family. Her status was indeed not high. She ranked last among Dorgon's concubines during his lifetime. So Dongguo Gege is just a concubine and has to be born as a concubine.
But she is Dorgon's only flesh and blood!
Wu Bai said: "But she is the concubine of the Ming Emperor!"
Zhani snorted: "What a concubine, she's just a concubine."
Concubine and concubine are two big categories. The names of the levels of the harem in the Ming Dynasty were a bit complicated, but generally there were four major levels: empress, concubine, concubine, and concubine. Now Zhu Cixiang's queen is Wu Sanmei, who is aloof and the master of the harem! There are three women at the concubine level: Zheng Chagu, Ning Xiangyu, and Fei Zhen'e. Among them, Chagu holds the title of imperial concubine and can also be regarded as a separate level. The number of concubines at the first level is nine, and now there are only three people: Dongguo (Kim Dongzhu), Xu Erlin, and Ajige. There is only one person in the Ji class, and that is Kong Sizhen, who was promoted from a slave to a lady.
Dongguo Gege's status is not high, and she doesn't seem to be very favored, otherwise she wouldn't have been in the palace for so many years, just a concubine.
Donny thought for a while and asked: "What does it mean to lead the government?"
"The meaning of leading the affairs is..." Wu Bai paused and said, "We still have to welcome Ge Ge to Hanyang, give her enough face, and then send her away safely."
Donnie nodded, "It's sure."
Bakdu asked: "What if Emperor Zhu sends her to North Korea to poach us?"
Donnie's face darkened and he said, "If she dares to feel a little restless, then don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between brother and sister!"
