The first day of August in the fifth year of Chongzhen. When the last soldier jumped off the ship and set foot on Japan's Honshu Island, Dorgon finally felt relieved.
According to the plan of the three, Su Wuxin took the first step, followed by Lin Dan, and then himself.
Dorgon was quite happy at first. After all, there were two white mice in front of him for the experiment.
But it was not until later that Su Wuxin and Lin Dan launched attacks on Japan's Honshu Island. In just 2 months, they captured a large amount of territory, which suddenly made Dorgon unhappy.
As a robber, it is very painful to watch other robbers rob a lot of money, while I am still here paying the shipping fee little by little.
Fortunately, although his two brothers with different surnames have achieved several great victories, Edo, the richest city in Japan, has not yet been captured by the two of them.
Moreover, the two brothers with different surnames also promised to give themselves half of all the seizures in Edo.
Although he knew that their purpose was to consume his own strength, Dorgon didn't care.
As a bandit, how could the strong castle of Edo use his own cronies to attack directly?
He was very familiar with driving away the Japanese people from behind to attack Edo and consuming the opponent's defense supplies.
This is nothing more than consuming some slaves.
As the King of Houjin, how could he take these foreign slaves into his eyes?
. . . .
Edo.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, the actual leader of Japan, was holding back laughter as he looked at the Ming envoy in front of him.
"Sir Messenger, does your Majesty really have to marry our Emperor Meisho before he will send troops?"
"That's right. When I, His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, marry your emperor, I will naturally send heavenly soldiers to help you eliminate those barbarians."
The Ming envoy said with a smile.
Due to the lag in message transmission, the messenger did not know that His Majesty had changed his mind.
"Okay, time is urgent, I will ask the emperor for instructions." Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled and left the banquet.
"Damn it Daming, I will bear this grudge."
After leaving, Tokugawa Iemitsu said with gritted teeth.
The Ming envoys arrived in Edo at the beginning of the year. Although the barbarians had already landed on Honshu Island, the strength of the Edo shogunate had not been lost. Instead, it had increased a lot because the daimyo of Kyushu and Shikoku had been destroyed.
But Tokugawa Iemitsu obviously underestimated the strength of those barbarians.
When the main force of the arrogant Daimyo coalition attacked the barbarian station, they were surprised by 10,000 Houjin cavalry, and their formation was thrown into chaos. There were countless casualties.
Next, although Tokugawa Iemitsu organized two teams of 200,000 people, they were defeated by the barbarians, making the current Japanese army dare not fight against each other in the field.
Tokugawa Iemitsu has already found out the identity of those barbarians. They are a group of barbarians from Korea who were expelled by the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the reason why they were able to successfully arrive in Japan was because of Daming's fault.
If the Japanese navy had not been tricked by the Ming Dynasty and suffered heavy losses and could not help the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu would have sent soldiers to seek advice from the Ming Dynasty.
...
The fifth day of August in the fifth year of Chongzhen.
After confirming that the three-party coalition forces had completely evacuated North Korea, the 100,000-strong army led by Zhu Dinghai was divided into ten groups. Began to quickly occupy North Korea.
After occupying North Korea, Zhu Dingguo did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he sent soldiers to block key roads and conducted a dragnet-style investigation across North Korea.
On the one hand, the Korean people gathered and hid, and on the other hand, based on intelligence, they violently wiped out the bandits and robbers supported by Hou Jin and the Mongols.
Suddenly, countless Korean people with sallow faces and skinny muscles walked out of the mountains.
"Heavenly soldiers, you are finally here. Those damn Tatars have shot everything in our house." A skinny old man kowtowed to the Ming soldiers on the side.
Only when you lose it do you realize how precious something is.
In the past, when the Ming Dynasty helped North Korea resist Japanese aggression, although Ming soldiers looted from time to time, they mostly robbed some food and money.
But what about those Tatars?
Stealing things and beating people are considered minor, but rape and murder are normal.
At first, they had plans to run North Korea, and they needed North Koreans to supplement their troops. Although they were brutal, they rarely killed people.
Later, more and more profits were made from Japan, and the status of Korean people became lower and lower.
If a soldier is in a bad mood, it is normal for one or two Koreans to die.
Later, when Lin Dan and Dorgon decided to evacuate, they even looted everything they could and burned everything they could. Even the fertile fields were mostly destroyed by their horses.
If it weren't for Zhu Youjian. After learning that he had killed and massacred the Koreans, how could these Koreans be so active in retaliating against themselves?
Compared with the actions of those Tatars, they are really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
"Get up quickly, old man. They want the porridge point opened by our Ming Dynasty over there. You can quickly take the villagers to get some food."
The person maintaining order on the side pointed to the distance and said.
Zhu Dingguo had long heard about the disasters suffered by the North Korean people, but to be honest, he was still a little grateful to him for this matter.
The common people are very simple.
If you are good to him, he may not remember your kindness, but if you are not good to him, he will definitely remember your hatred.
The favor of rice rises, and the hatred of rice rises.
If you want others to remember your kindness, you can't always show kindness, and you can't show too much kindness. Otherwise, sooner or later we will develop into a pack of white-eyed wolves.
And strictly speaking, the Koreans are not Ming people now. Although the Korean royal family has been slaughtered by Dorgon, and although the Ming Dynasty has become the actual ruler of North Korea, those Koreans are still not Ming people.
It is easy to occupy North Korea, but it is not easy to completely eliminate North Korea.
In particular, Ming Dynasty still needs to maintain an upright and benevolent image, let alone simply annex North Korea.
North Korea has been the weakling of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. Although North Korea later became Hou Jin's legionnaire, it still cannot change the fact that he was once the Ming Dynasty's legionnaire.
It would be too ugly if such a loser Ming Dynasty directly annexed it.
Let’s not talk about what other countries think.
Those second-rate scholars in Guangda Ming Dynasty can kill people.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty needs a book of ten thousand people, and the Korean people need to spontaneously request to join Ming Dynasty and become Ming Dynasty people.
....
"Old man, this is your porridge. After you finish eating, put the bowl over there and register it later." The soldier who handed out the porridge said gently.
All this, the people of the Ming Dynasty have become accustomed to, but it did make the corners of the old man's eyes become moist.
Since ancient times, the family of soldiers and bandits has been a family.
Soldiers who do not loot can be regarded as truly benevolent and righteous soldiers.
Who is a soldier who helps others and smiles in return?
