The Tatars who fled to Liaodong were of course unwilling to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, they would not have to escape at all, and simply surrendering to Ming Dynasty would end this kind of life.
The only difference is that Nahachu has more confidence in himself, while Guantong is more pessimistic.
It is also because of this difference that in the original history, when Feng Sheng launched an offensive against them with an army of 200,000, Guantong could not withstand the pressure first and had to choose to surrender. Most of Naha's other men also chose to surrender, which made him realize that his situation was over and he had to surrender.
At this time, when Guantong heard Naha's words, he blushed and said: "Of course I don't mean that! It's just that the Ming army seems to be strengthening the strength of Liaodong. If this continues, the strength of the Ming army will definitely be stronger than ours. Therefore, I just thought, there is another way to go!”
Naha was a little confused after hearing this, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
He heard that Guantong did not mean to surrender, but he did not agree to directly attack the Ming army, which made him a little confused.
When Guantong heard what he said, he quickly explained to him: "Look, if the Ming Dynasty continues to strengthen its strength in Liaodong, not only will we suffer, but will Goryeo be better off? Goryeo certainly does not want the Ming Dynasty to strengthen its strength in Liaodong. Come stronger!"
After Naha heard this, he showed a trace of disdain and said: "You mean to ask Goryeo to send troops to fight the Ming army? Is Goryeo worthy of it?"
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Gao Li. The same is true. In the original history, he also arbitrarily put pressure on Goryeo and asked for this and that from Goryeo, a vassal state.
Seeing his attitude, Guantong advised earnestly: "As far as the situation in Liaodong is concerned, we are currently the strongest, followed by the Ming army, followed by the Jurchen tribe. In fact, Goryeo also has intentions of plotting in Liaodong. But if the strength of the Ming army continues to increase, If so, the Ming army must be the strongest, and we and other forces will be weaker. If nothing is done, the Ming army will be like a dragon crossing the river, and it is certain that Liaodong will definitely be owned by the Ming army."
"The Ming army will defeat us first, then defeat the Jurchen tribe, and at the same time oppress Goryeo. Under this situation, I think we should unite other forces to drive the Ming forces out of Liaodong first. This is the best solution. Main goal!"
Upon hearing this, Naha immediately became serious, stroking his beard and thinking.
When Guantong saw this, he quickly said: "I think we should send an envoy to explain our powerful relationship, and even make a promise to have both the Jurchens and Goryeo send troops to drive away the Ming army. When Liaodong is decided by us, we can Let’s go back and discuss our relationship with them. This is the best policy!”
"On the other hand, if the Ming army uses its strength to subdue Goryeo and the Jurchens and is used by the Ming army, the overall situation is determined and we will definitely lose Liaodong! Is it possible that the prince would rather abandon Liaodong than open this mouth to them?"
After hearing this, Nahachu finally made a decision, looked at him seriously and said: "You are right. Your Majesty asked me to take charge of Liaodong. The Central Plains have been lost, and Liaodong must not be lost."
When Guantong heard that he had listened to the advice, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately discussed in detail with Naha the strategy of uniting to resist the Ming army.
Zhang Yifan's butterfly effect has been realized here again.
In the original history, according to the strategy set by Zhu Yuanzhang, it was to accumulate strength and exploit Liaodong with absolute advantage. Therefore, before the Ming army accumulated absolute strength, it was not exposed, and its strength was mainly concentrated in the pass, with the western Liaoning corridor and the Liaodong coastal area as its sphere of influence, which did not go deep.
At the same time, the Ming army also wooed Goryeo and Jurchen, for example, they released the Goryeo envoy Zhou Yi, showed their goodwill to Goryeo again, and finally allowed Goryeo to wear Ming clothes. In addition, Hu Batu, a descendant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was sent deep into the Eastern Jurchen area to appease the local Jurchens. In the end, Naha from Liaodong left here and became a loner. The Ming Dynasty also accumulated 200,000 elite troops, and led them with famous generals to defeat Nahachu in one fell swoop.
But now, under the influence of Zhang Yifan's butterfly wings, the situation has changed.
First, the Goryeo envoy was not sent back under Zhang Yifan's strong persuasion. The relationship between Ming Dynasty and Goryeo showed no signs of easing. At this time, Goryeo was still dominated by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, wearing Hu clothes and using the reign name of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Secondly, Zhu Di destroyed the Tatar army of Belige and cleared away the Tatar forces outside the Great Wall. This kind of annihilation war-style fighting immediately hit the morale of Naha's headquarters.
In the end, the Ming army, with less than 10,000 troops, escorted the grain and grass baggage to Liaodong, showing the intention of strengthening Liaodong's strength, which could be said to be a warning.
All of this finally made Nahachu's attitude change. He finally listened to Guantong's opinions and decided to unite with other forces in Liaodong to fight against the Ming army's advance.
After the plan was agreed upon, Naha sent envoys to Jurchen and also to Goryeo.
Compared with the Jurchen tribe, Goryeo is naturally more powerful. After all, it is a country. For this reason, Nahachu paid more attention to it and Guantong went to Goryeo in person.
When Naha came out, he sent a large number of cavalry to harass and attack the Ming army, so that the Ming army's tentacles could not be extended further.
The situation in Liaodong became tense seven or eight years earlier than in the original history with the role of Zhang Yifan's butterfly.
……………………
On the Ming side, Zhang Yifan followed Zhu Di to Juehua Island.
I have to say that cement is really very useful. Many places on Juehua Island, including the pier on the sea side, have been transformed with cement.
After climbing to the heights of Juehua Island and looking through the telescope, Zhu Di pointed to the northwest with his finger and introduced to Zhang Yifan beside him: "Now the Daning Guard is guarded by the Governor Qianshi Ma Yun. There is a military order for him. The Tatars Tanma should rarely enter the Liaoxi Corridor, and we on Juehua Island are even less likely to be discovered by the Tatars."
"Jack Ma?" Zhang Yifan was a little surprised by the name.
Zhu Di listened, nodded, pointed to the east and said: "Generals Ma Yun and Ye Wang crossed the sea and landed there to build Jinzhou Guards. In the eighth year of Hongwu, they defeated the invading Naha army. At that time, the Naha army was almost wiped out, leaving no more Tatars in Jinzhou. Both of them were quite capable of fighting. In the twelfth year of Hongwu, Ma Yun led his troops to capture Daning."
If in the original history, after Ma Yun captured Daning, which was later Jinzhou, he was recalled to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang and died of illness a few years later. However, Ye Wang continued to guard Liaodong and became a famous general in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.
However, in this plane, Ma Yun was at the head of the Liaoxi Corridor, while his partner Ye Wang was in Jinzhou, protecting the rear of the Ming Dynasty on the left and right, and was not called back to the capital.
After hearing Zhu Di's explanation, Zhang Yifan further understood the specific situation in Liaodong. But for the time being, he has no use here.
Zhang Yifan only slept on this island, and then went fishing at the beach, which was considered a vacation.
But Zhu Di is different. He still goes deep into the army, gets involved with the army, and still enjoys it.
A few days later, Zhang Yifan was fishing when Zhu Di suddenly sent someone to look for him, which made Zhang Yifan think that a war was about to begin.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Zhongjun tent, Zhu Di actually told him that the script did not follow what he had set!
Only Zhu Di said to him: "Yongchanghou's troops have arrived at Haizhou Guard, but the Tatars only sent a large group of cavalry to harass, trying to stop us from continuing to Liaoyang from Haizhou Guard. According to the information from the spy, Nanaha came out We sent envoys to make friends with the Jurchen tribe and Gaoli, hoping to unite with them to attack us!"
Zhang Yifan was a little surprised when he heard it. This didn't seem to be the case in history.
So, he asked: "Then what are your plans?"
After hearing this, Zhu Di replied: "Then as agreed in advance, we will turn the lie into reality, no longer carry out the Haizhou Guard war, directly advance, station in Liaoyang, and then threaten Shenyang and capture Shenyang."
The current Shenyang is a Tucheng built in the third year of Yuanzhen of the Yuan Dynasty. It was originally called Shenzhou, and after the construction was completed, it was changed to Shenyang Road. The name Shenyang only came into existence at this time. Duke Xu of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and Taibao Harazhang led troops to garrison in Shenyang.
If the Ming army defeated Harazhang, then the soldiers would be able to threaten Naha's lair.
At this time, after Zhu Di finished speaking, his expression was serious, and he continued: "But when we discussed this strategy before, we did not expect that the Tatars would want to unite the Jurchen tribe and Goryeo. Yifan, what do you say?"
Zhang Yifan listened, thought for a moment, and asked: "Judging from the current news, how likely is it that the Jurchen tribe and Goryeo will be won over by the Tatars?"
When Zhu Di heard this, he shook his head and said: "I can't say this. Maybe you should ask the generals in Liaodong. Ma Yun, Ye Wang and others who I told you before are the most familiar with Liaodong. Among them, Ma Yun is the closest. Shall I send him a message to ask about the situation?"
Zhang Yifan listened, nodded, and then reminded: "You should also tell your father-in-law about any new situations that arise."
"Let's wait until we ask Ma Yun!" Zhu Di rolled his eyes and gave the answer.
Zhang Yifan saw it, but he had no objection because he felt that what Zhu Di said made sense.
Outside the customs, Daning began to hoard heavy troops to ensure that the Western Liaoning Corridor would not be invaded by the Tatars on a large scale before starting to build signal towers. It hasn't been built yet, and it will take some time before it can be used.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yifan was called over by Zhu Di and met the legendary Jack Ma.
Seriously, nothing like it at all.
The Ma Yun standing in front of Zhang Yifan is tall, long-armed, and powerful. He is even more majestic under the armor.
"Excuse me, what do you think about money?"
Ma Yun was a little confused. Looking at the consort, Rong Guogong asked: "Is the consort asking about the situation in Liaodong?"
Zhang Yifan chuckled. Later generations were not qualified to ask. Now that he had said it, he nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ma Yun had actually reported it to Zhu Di, but when the prince-in-law asked him, he still replied seriously: "In the opinion of the last general, the Jurchens are scattered into various tribes. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive for the Tatars to unite and become enemies of the Ming Dynasty. At most, they promise benefits and win over some of them. Moreover, this Jurchen tribe has little fighting power, so there is nothing to worry about."
After a pause, he introduced the Goryeo side and said: "As for Goryeo, what they want to do most is actually to have both sides. But our Ming Dynasty is ignoring them now. If the Tatars offer enough benefits, Goryeo may send troops."
"The current King of Goryeo must have complaints against our Ming Dynasty because our Ming Dynasty has been unwilling to recognize his position as king. However, the Goryeo army is not strong. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the Goryeo general Li Chenggui is capable of fighting, and the rest is insufficient. For concern!”
When Zhang Yifan heard it, he suddenly felt familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered all the news about Li Chenggui.
This Li Chenggui was the founding king of North Korea. It seems that the current King of Goryeo was dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's establishment of Tieling Guards, so he sent 50,000 troops to attack, and the leading general was Li Chenggui.
As a result, Li Chenggui knew that he could not defeat the Ming army, so he rebelled halfway and led his troops to kill him back. He deposed the current King of Goryeo and supported a younger one. Finally, he wore a yellow robe and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give the name of North Korea.
These things can also prove that the most capable general in Goryeo today is indeed Li Chenggui. In other words, Li Chenggui is the best.
Thinking about this, he asked Ma Yun: "Then what do you think is the most likely situation?"
After Ma Yun heard this, he immediately replied without thinking: "The general thought that a few Jurchen tribes might come, but they would not be able to use their deadly force. As for Goryeo, they would probably also send troops, maybe even this Li Chenggui Leading troops, but most of them are afraid that they want to make a profit, and they mainly wait and see. If there is any benefit, they will go forward, and if there is no benefit, they will wait."
After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and then added: "If we also send people to lobby, some of the Jurchen tribe will join us. Goryeo will be even more hesitant. Even if they send troops, they will delay for a long time."
After Zhang Yifan listened, according to Ma Yun's meaning, the main enemies of the Ming Dynasty were still the Mongolian Tatars.
So, he turned to look at Zhu Di and said, "Then what do you think?"
Zhu Di had known this information before and had thought about it before, so he immediately replied to Zhang Yifan: "I think the established strategy remains unchanged, turns imaginary into reality, and takes Shenyang as the goal. For this reason, he sent people to lobby the Jurchens and Goliaths , to prevent them from increasing their impact on our goals.”
"Are you scared?" Zhang Yifan rolled his eyes and asked Lao Liu in front of him.
Sure enough, when Zhu Di heard this, not only was he not unhappy, but he became interested and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ma Yun next to me saw him and was a little confused. King Yan, what does this mean?
The prince consort asked him if he was afraid? Logically speaking, King Yan should be angry. Why is King Yan not only not angry, but also very happy when he sees this? What's going on?
