"Japan" Su Polu said calmly.
"This time we sent out 10,000 elites from each family to build a territory in Japan through ships. Firstly, it can reduce the pressure on North Korea, and secondly, it can leave a way out for ourselves."
"Do you think the Japanese army is just paper? It's hard for you to think of making enemies on both sides. I won't send anyone there." Huang Taiji rejected Su Polu's suggestion without saying a word.
The reason why Hou Jin dared to rebel. Although it has something to do with Nurhaci's early desire to rebel, the most important point is that during the Korean War, Hou Jin saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Huang Taiji doesn't think the Japanese are so powerful.
But before the war with the Ming Dynasty, there were three major forces: Hou Jin, Su Polu, and Mongolia. Only Hou Jin was severely beaten by the Ming Dynasty and suffered huge losses.
In the battle of Fushun Pass alone, Houjin lost as many as 60,000 elite soldiers. Coupled with several attacks launched by Zhu Dingguo, Hou Jin lost a lot of manpower and material resources.
Although Hou Jin's military strength is now ranked first among the three major forces in terms of quantity, but in terms of real combat effectiveness, Hou Jin's current combat effectiveness can only rank third.
Asking him to send 10,000 more elites at this time will undoubtedly greatly reduce Hou Jin's strength.
"Our three families are now grasshoppers on a rope. I will not trick you. Since you are unwilling to send elites, then send 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers to garrison us. Regardless of success or failure, you will plunder the supplies this time. I can only get one-tenth of the final gold, what do you think?"
To put it bluntly, Hou Jin's soldiers are a group of bandits. As long as they return from this robbery, those Hou Jin soldiers will not be willing to watch themselves and Mongolia enjoy the exclusive benefits. At that time, Huang Taiji will have to cooperate with him no matter how unwilling he is.
"Okay, I agreed. I will send 20,000 Korean soldiers."
On November 10, the first year of Chongzhen, after paying the price of 20,000 cattle, the three-party coalition finally set foot on the ship to Japan.
Because there was a gap in the strength of the three parties, they all wanted their own people to be the leaders of the coalition. As a result, Zhu Dinghai made a cross and snatched the command of the operation.
At this time, Japan was in the period of dual politics during the Edo period.
Although nominally, the power of Japan belongs to Emperor Mizuo.
But in fact all power was in the hands of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second general of the Edo shogunate to conquer barbarians.
From the 19th year of Keicho (1614) to the 20th year of Keicho (1615), after the Osaka Winter and Summer Double Formations, Tokugawa Hidetada, with the help of Tokugawa Ieyasu, eliminated the Toyotomi clan and completed the unification of the world.
In the fifth year of Yuanhe (1619), Tokugawa Hidetada personally went to Luo and asked Emperor Gomizuo to marry his daughter Kazuko as his concubine.
In July of the ninth year of Yuanhe (1623), he gave up the position of general to his son, the third generation general Iemitsu. Although he has stepped down from his position, he still holds power behind the scenes.
Although Japan's current strength has experienced nearly ten years of peace, the strength of its military still cannot be underestimated. ,
If the main forces of the three parties were all present, Japan would definitely be at the mercy of the three parties at this time, but now that the three parties have sent 40,000 troops, their strength is definitely not as good as Japan.
But we are the attacking side after all. Japan is composed of four large islands. If the navy has the advantage, it is still possible to knock off a piece of the enemy's territory.
This time Zhu Dinghai’s target was Nagasaki, Japan.
The Port of Nagasaki, opened in 1570, became a trading port for Portugal, and a large amount of Western culture flowed into Nagasaki. Later, Dutch and Chinese businessmen also came to Nagasaki for trading.
After everyone boarded the ship, Zhu Dinghai gave the order to set sail.
More than 300 warships, escorting nearly a thousand troop transport ships, set off from Pusan in a mighty manner. Go to Nagasaki.
At the beginning of the 20th year of Wanli (1592), Nagasaki, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi was located, was the most important trading city in Japan. To sum up, it can be summed up in three words: "Thieves are rich."
Since they want to rob, they should make a big sum so that Mongolia and Houjin believe that Japan is full of gold.
For robbers, money is much more useful than empty words.
As for the life and death of those Western merchants, what does it have to do with me?
"Hang the flag of the Korean Navy, let's set off." Wait for all the soldiers to officially issue orders to set off for North Korea. The Japanese invaders totaled more than 180,000 men and hundreds of ships, divided into nine armies. They landed in Busan, North Korea on April 12, and divided their troops to invade North Korea.
Indirectly led to the slave rebellion. It started the history of humiliation for the people of Liaodong.
Sending troops from Busan to retaliate this time can be regarded as a kind of cause and effect.
.....
On the west bank of the Yalu River, hundreds of thousands of Ming people were busy braving the severe cold.
Although Hou Jin and the Mongols have been driven into Korea, the main force still exists.
Coupled with the current cheating transportation mechanism, Ming Dynasty is simply not allowed to deploy hundreds of thousands of troops on the border.
In order to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall. Zhu Dingguo could only order the construction of defense facilities.
The defensive facilities built this time are different from the cities before the Ming Dynasty.
Instead, Western bastion technology was adopted.
A bastion is a type of ancient fortress. Its essence is to change the city from a convex polygon to a concave polygon.
Such an improvement would expose the attacker to more than one bastion face (usually 2-3) no matter attacking any point in the castle, and the defender could use crossfire to carry out multiple strikes.
Although such a bastion is vulnerable to heavy artillery. But in the hands of the Mongols and Jiannu who lack heavy firepower, it can definitely be regarded as a solid line of defense.
Most of the people who built the fortress came from Jinfu and Fuzhou.
Ever since Su Polu established his foothold in Jinzhou, people who were oppressed by Jiannu fled to Su Polu's territory every day.
Until Su Polu voluntarily gave up his territory and entered North Korea with the Mongols, Su Polu's territory was no less than a million dollars away. Most of these people are people from the Ming Dynasty, and a small number are Koreans.
Now is the slack time for farming. Instead of letting these people hide and rest, it is better to let them earn some food for the winter.
The bustling construction site naturally attracted the attention of the other party's spies.
News of the Ming Dynasty's construction of defense facilities soon spread to Pyongyang.
Su Polu, Huang Taiji, and Lin Dan held an emergency meeting.
"The Ming army must have a plan to build a city beside the Yalu River. I suggest that the army attack to cut off the Ming Dynasty's ambitions."
Allowing the Ming army to build the city, waiting for the Ming army to build it almost, and then taking the opportunity to surround and eliminate the Ming army reinforcements was a common method used by the Later Jin Dynasty.
But this is the premise. Our own field strength far exceeds that of the opponent. But now, 100,000 elite Jiannu were beaten by the Ming army, and they were pressed to the ground and rubbed. Who dared not to take the Ming army's field strength into consideration?
Wait until the opponent's city is almost completed. If you take action, you will die.
"I object. The Ming army built defenses, which means that Ming Dynasty has no plans to invade North Korea now. If it attacks rashly, it will definitely anger Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, who can stop Ming Dynasty's troops?" Su Polu said.
Su Polu knew that the Ming Dynasty had not recovered North Korea for the time being.
Seducing the slaves, Mongolia's expedition to Japan, and not thinking about the Ming Dynasty were also an important task for Su Polu.
All actions against Ming must be stopped.
"If you want to go ahead, we Mongolians won't get involved."
Being betrayed by Jiannu three times and five times, Lin Dan didn't have a good attitude towards Huang Taiji.
