Fan Wencheng's letter was quickly delivered to Huang Taiji.
After receiving the letter and reading it, Huang Taiji felt happy and sad at the same time.
Fortunately, Su Polu promised to reach a reconciliation with Houjin before the Ming army launched a large-scale attack, and the two sides would not attack each other. Moreover, when the Ming army launched a large-scale attack, Su Polu could still release water.
Sadly, Su Polu asked to build slaves to fight in Korea. If you don't follow the instructions, you will be harassed continuously and told about the eight major Shanxi merchants to the Ming Dynasty emperor.
For a moment, Huang Taiji didn't know what to choose. He chose to reach an agreement with Su Polu because he was afraid that Su Polu would get the advantage with his left hand and stab him with his backhand.
If you don't agree, Su Polu will report this matter to the Ming Emperor. Even if the Ming Emperor is a pig, he will strictly investigate the eight major Shanxi merchants. Without the food from the eight major Shanxi merchants, half of the people on our side would starve to death first without waiting for the Ming emperor to come.
As for robbing Mongolia and giving birth to girls, forget it, Mongols and giving birth to girls are really poorer than Hou Jin.
After thinking about it, Huang Taiji finally reported the matter to Daishan. Who made Daishan the current King of Houjin?
After Daishan got the news, he couldn't pay attention to it for a while, so he could only convene the eight banner leaders for discussion.
After several days of intense discussions, it was finally decided that Dai Shanqin would lead the Zhenghong Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhenglan Banner to fight in Korea, while Huang Taiji would lead the Zhenghuang Banner to continue to guard Yaozhou.
At the same time, Doze led the white flag to capture the wild Jurchen.
The remaining troops monitored the Ming army on the banks of the Dalingbao River.
In order to show sincerity, Su Polu took the initiative to ask Mao Wenlong to withdraw to Pidao. At the same time, he also promised that as long as the slaves crossed the Yalu River, they could provide food and grass to the slaves. Of course it costs money.
5 taels of silver per stone, limited supply.
Although Daishan was unhappy, he gritted his teeth and agreed for the sake of food. After all, Houjin was really short of food.
On December 1, Apocalypse 7, Daishan's secret army had already resisted near the Yalu River, and at the same time received the first batch of 1,000 shi of food and grass provided by Su Polu.
December 2, Apocalypse 7
Daishan declared war on North Korea on the four charges of "helping the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties invade our country", "harboring Mao Wenlong", "recruiting my fugitives to steal my place", and "the death of the first khan...no one paid tribute".
On December 3, the seventh year of Tianqi, Jiannu, who had completed the repairs, began to distribute the Yalu River across the Yalu River after ensuring that there were no problems with the pontoon bridge built by Su Polu.
December 4, Apocalypse 7.
Amin led more than 10,000 cavalry across the Yalu River and captured Yizhou, while Manggurtai led an army of 10,000 and easily occupied the empty Iron Mountain.
Uiju was easily captured by Hou Jin, which proved that North Korea's defense force was very weak and could easily win. Coupled with Su Polu's guarantee, Daishan ordered 1,000 troops to stay in Tieshan, and then led the army to prepare for an all-out attack on North Korea.
Amin led the army southward, sending troops to plunder all directions while waiting for North Korea to ask for peace. When the Joseon Emperor Yi Jie received the news that Hou Jin's army was marching south and Dingzhou was lost, he was so frightened that he sent his concubine to Ganghwa Island for refuge.
Amin's troops will take advantage of the victory and advance, successively capturing Anzhou and Pyongyang. When they reach Zhonghe, they will stop advancing and set up camp. At this time, Li Jie had also fled to Ganghwa Island and ordered his envoys to submit a letter to Houjin's camp asking for peace.
After more than a month of negotiations between the two sides, North Korea was forced by Hou Jin's military pressure and basically agreed to Hou Jin's demands for taking hostages and paying tribute, going to the next year, declaring an alliance, and becoming a brotherly country.
But at this moment, Daishan did not come with the attitude of asking North Korea to surrender. The so-called negotiation was just a cover.
On January 10, the first year of Chongzhen, Li Zhu came to lead the ministers and representatives of the later Jin Dynasty, and was preparing to return to Seoul to burn books and make an oath of alliance.
Hou Jin launched another attack and directly captured Jianghua Island and captured Li Zhu.
Then he coerced the emperor to order his ministers and forcibly took over the military and political power of North Korea.
In order to ensure that North Korea served as a food warehouse for Houjin, Daishan looted the North Koreans extensively, but did not carry out a massacre of North Korea.
....
The news of Jiannu's attack on North Korea reached Sun Chengzong's ears very quickly. After checking the accuracy of the news, Sun Chengzong asked Emperor Chongzhen again and again to send troops to regain the lost territory, but Emperor Chongzhen rejected them all because the time had not come yet.
Just kidding, it took a lot of effort to get Jian Nu to attack North Korea. How could Sun Chengzong be allowed to cause trouble?
In order to prevent Sun Chengzong from going to war against the imperial edict, Zhu Youjian issued an imperial edict to recruit Sun Chengzong back to Beijing. On the other hand, he strictly ordered the Liaodong generals to prepare for defense to avoid being exploited by Jiannu.
Sun Chengzong was already older, and the envoy team delayed time intentionally or unintentionally. When Sun Chengzong returned to the capital, North Korea had completely fallen into the hands of Daishan.
.....
By winning North Korea, Hou Jin's food and grass worries were temporarily relieved. Before Daishan came, he was so excited that he was so angry with a congratulatory letter from Su Polu.
"I, Su Polu, give me money."
In just six words, Daishan was extorted of 5 million taels of silver, and all the shipbuilders in North Korea were kidnapped and snatched away.
Although Daishan was very angry, under Amin's persuasion, he finally chose to give money to settle the matter.
Anyway, Houjin, who had just conquered North Korea, was not short of money, and Houjin had no navy, so those shipwrights were useless.
And once the opponent is angered and the opponent blocks the Yalu River, the main force of Houjin will be divided into two.
The other five flags, which lacked food and grass supplies, could not escape defeat. Only the three flags in their own hands were left, and it was estimated that they would be unable to withstand the Ming Dynasty's military front.
As for these Korean soldiers, Daishan didn't take these scum in his eyes at all.
Especially after the precedent of the Han army's rebellion, Daishan was even more wary of these Korean soldiers.
They began to bully these Korean soldiers crazily, causing these Korean soldiers to have a huge fear of the Houjin soldiers. When these fears are big enough to numb people, these people will fear the sword in their hands far more than other things.
Having fought with Su Polu for so many times, Daishan knew very well that the reason Su Polu was able to suppress him was because of the firearm in his hand.
His heavily armored soldiers and even his shield vehicles were unable to defend against the opponent's firearms. Coupled with the large number of opponents, everything failed from time to time.
Daishan is also very aware of the shortcomings of firearms.
The shooting steps are complicated, you cannot shoot in rainy days, and you will get hot if you shoot for a long time.
The armor on the heavy armored soldiers is already heavy enough and cannot be increased.
Daishan cannot choose the weather during the decisive battle.
The only thing that can be done is to let the soldiers get as close to the Ming army as safely as possible.
Now the only solution that Daishan can think of is to let these Korean soldiers push the shield cart in front, with his heavy armored soldiers in the back. If the Ming army is approaching, they will be able to defeat the Ming army. .
To do this, these Korean soldiers must fear themselves more than they fear death.
