Chapter 226: Intervention in North Korea (1)
If North Korea was not very obedient, there would be no good reason for the Ming Dynasty to teach North Korea a lesson. As a country above the Celestial Empire, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face to bully a vassal state that has already surrendered to it?&1t;/p>
This coup in North Korea is a god-given opportunity.&1t;/p>
The Ming Dynasty directly sacrificed a flag to suppress the rebellion, and there was a legitimate reason for interfering in North Korea. First, send troops to the ground and beat him up. Then, send a governor to take over the military and political power of North Korea and capture the administration and military of North Korea in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
As for the King of Korea, just find one to be used as a mascot. When administration and military power are all under the management of the Ming Dynasty, even if North Korea has a king, it will naturally be a province of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
This plan seems a bit daydreaming at first glance, and North Korea can annex it so easily?&1t;/p>
But in fact, the feasibility is very high, because there are a large number of pro-Ming officials in North Korea, and the Korean officials use Chinese characters, which is also a Confucian cultural atmosphere.&1t;/p>
After pressing the King of Korea to the ground and beating it, it will naturally be a stage for a group of officials to sit down and hold a symposium with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty is at the turmoil in North Korea and needs to be guided by the country. Then, the goal will be achieved.&1t;/p>
The Shangguo wants to guide North Korea's administration, which is reasonable in theory. After all, the founding of North Korea was the result of the Ming Dynasty's grace. The Ming Dynasty allowed the Li family to split the map, and the Li family has been favored by the Ming Emperor for generations. If they secretly give some benefits to those officials of the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally be able to achieve their goals easily.&1t;/p>
In terms of force, Zhu Youxiao believes that the Dongjiang army can beat North Korea.&1t;/p>
However, who to send to North Korea is a question. After Zhu Youxiao thought of resigning from the North, he decided to send Shandong Governor Zhao Yan to North Korea and governor North Korea's military and political affairs. He then asked the Silijian to draft a decree and go out, so he ordered Shandong Governor Zhao Yan to go to Dongjiang Town from sea to command the Dongjiang army to interfere with North Korea by force.&1t;/p>
In late March of the third year of the Apocalypse, it was already full of spring.&1t;/p>
The Ming army in Liaodong Town was busy continuing to process the Guangning defense line. After Sun Chengzong's rectification, Liaodong Town was one of the military and civilians. With the support of the imperial court's money and grain, more than 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong Town strengthened the Guangning defense line for nearly two years, and continued to strengthen in the third year of Tianqi.&1t;/p>
Fortresses are densely distributed on the Guangning defense line. Even those Mintuns also build forts to defend. If Jiannu attacks, he can strengthen the walls and clear the fields and retreat into the fort to defend. Jiannu can still conquer these Mintuns fortresses, but the price is too high. He will inevitably have to lose troops and lose generals to attack, which is not proportional to the harvest. Besieging these Mintuns fortresses has no strategic or tactical significance.&1t;/p>
The fortresses and cities of the government army are so dense that they make people feel numb. The city walls and fortresses are full of black artillery.&1t;/p>
In the third year of the Apocalypse, the artillery production of the Royal Military Factory increased. With sufficient military expenditure, a large number of artillery were cast and sent to the Guangning Line of Defense.&1t;/p>
At this time, the Guangning defense line was as solid as a god. As long as the Ming army did not commit suicide, Jiannu had no opportunity to take advantage of it. Although the Ming army in Liaodong Town did not have any attack after the beginning of spring, he had already prepared to respond to Jinzhou Town at any time. According to the iron rules set by Zhu Youxiao, he prepared 50,000 troops. The Ming army that took the initiative to attack would not be able to exceed 50,000 soldiers or soldiers.&1t;/p>
On the other hand, the defense line of Jinzhou Town is also abnormal. In the narrow Jinzhou Pass, the walls of the pass have been reinforced and raised, and there is also Nanguan behind the North Pass.&1t;/p>
However, the Jinzhou Pass project volume is much smaller than that of Guanning’s defense line. However, in terms of military strength, Jinzhou was already full of troops at this time. It was not inferior to the scale of Liaodong Town.&1t;/p>
Twelve infantry divisions, plus two cavalry divisions, and one artillery division, have all been transferred to Jinzhou. Jinzhou has become the new main location of the Ming army.&1t;/p>
It was already spring. The Central Army of Jinzhou Town was still preparing for war and sharpening its swords. At this time, Sun Chuanting also rushed to Jinzhou and began to take charge, commanding Jinzhou Town and coordinating the officers and soldiers of Liaodong Town and Jinzhou Town.&1t;/p>
After the spring, the Dongjiang Army sent more guerrillas to Liaodong. After more than a year of guerrilla warfare, the Dongjiang Army's guerrilla experience has become more and more abundant. Groups of Han people were rescued by the Dongjiang Army from Liaodong, and then they armed the Han people and threw them into guerrilla warfare.&1t;/p>
A large number of guerrillas once again rampant in Liaodong after winter. The production of Jiannu in the spring has become extremely declining.&1t;/p>
The farms set up by Jiannu outside the city have been greatly reduced. Some of the remaining farms have to send more troops to garrison, which has involved a lot of Jiannu's troops.&1t;/p>
At this time, Jiannu basically had to act in groups in the wild. Once he was singled, he would be intercepted by the guerrillas halfway, and there might be danger everywhere. However, Jiannu's production in the mountainous areas was not greatly affected. However, Jiannu had to control such a large territory as the Liaohe Plain, and it was obviously a bit overwhelmed.&1t;/p>
Just when Mao Wenlong decided to go deep into the mountains to fight, an imperial edict interrupted the decision.&1t;/p>
The court decided to interfere in North Korea. Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army was closest to North Korea, so he could only dispatch the Dongjiang army. Zhu Youzheng ordered Mao Wenlong to accompany Shandong Governor Zhao Yan to quell the rebellion. A few days later, Zhao Yan also rushed to Dongjiang Town.&1t;/p>
If you feel the most unhappy about North Korea, it is probably Mao Wenlong. Since opening the town in Pidao, North Korea's King Guanghaijun Lee Hui has been very uncooperative with Dongjiang Town. Basically, they have made excuses and have given almost no assistance.&1t;/p>
This time Li Hui was taken off the throne, so he naturally applauded. However, if he wanted to interfere in North Korea, Shandong Governor Zhao Yan was a little hesitant and said to Mao Wenlong: "General Mao, although the North Korean military strength is weak, it may take a long time if the court really interferes in North Korea this time."&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The North Korean party struggles severely. This time the Western Party supports Li Jue to the throne. The Eastern Party is about to lose power. As soon as my Wangshi arrives in North Korea, the Eastern Party will inevitably meet with each other." Mao Wenlong, who is more familiar with North Korea, analyzed to Zhao Yan: "My subordinates learned that the general Li Shi, who supported the Western Party's coup, was excluded by the Western Party. He was beaten to Ping'an Road as soon as the coup was successful. Just send a letter to become the help of the court."&1t;/p>
"In addition, the Western Party had previously been some small officials. The main members of Li Gui, Jin Liu, Shen Jingzhen and others were all lower-level civil and military officials. For example, Li Gui, the core figure of the Western Party, was only appointed as the judging of the official Cao, and another core figure, Jin Liu, was only the judging of the military Cao. They could not even be the judging of the first official position of the six Caos, and could only be ranked second in the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the judging of the senators."&1t;/p>
After Mao Wenlong finished speaking, Zhao Yan suddenly woke up and asked Mao Wenlong: "You mean that as long as you capture Seoul and the Western Party collapses in an instant, you can control the situation in North Korea?"&1t;/p>
"My wise, as long as this Li Shi is used by our Ming Dynasty, there is no suspense in military affairs. If you capture Seoul, whether it is to establish a new king of Korea or what. As long as the Korean Eastern Party gathers together, North Korea will decide immediately."&1t;/p>
"What if this Li Shi doesn't want to turn to us?" Zhao Yan asked. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
