Li Chengliang's Liaodong soldiers had pacified the vast territory in the north. The territory of the Ming Empire had reached an unprecedented prosperity.
After Zhu Yijun left the court, he came to the imperial garden and ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids to leave. Zhu Yijun opened a small map in the pavilion.
He began to check on Li Chengliang's attack on Jianzhou Jurchen…
All the scenes of Li Chengliang attacking the Jurchen tribe were presented in front of Zhu Yijun.
……
Two hundred thousand soldiers were gathered outside Jian Province's Wei City. That Jian Province City was a city built by the Ming Dynasty for the Jurchen tribe, allowing the Jurchen tribe to live!
However, who would have thought that the ambitious Jianzhou Jurchen would actually kill the Ming Dynasty's defensive generals!
This was intolerable!
The leader of the Jurchen tribe stood on the city wall and looked at the endless Liaodong soldiers outside. He was so regretful that his intestines turned green.
"I'm willing to surrender!"
"I only hope that General can let go of these clansmen behind me!”
Li Chengliang looked at the leader of the Jurchen tribe on the city wall and sneered as he lit the fuse of the Folangji cannon beside him with the torch in his hand.
The fuse was ignited!
Sizzle---
Boom!
A large cloud of dust flew into the air, and the sound of cannons was like thunder!
This was Li Chengliang's response to him!
Surrender?
Rebellion after surrendering?
There was no way!
On the top of the city wall, the Jianzhou Jurchen saw the weapons that they hated the most, cannons!
It was the supreme weapon of the Ming Empire. Whether it was to attack or defend the city, its power was enormous.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannonball hit the city wall, and the terrifying power caused the entire city to tremble!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three hundred cannons fired one after another, and the terrifying solid metal balls hit the city walls, causing heavy casualties among the Jianzhou Jurchen on the city walls!
Zhu Yijun saw this scene and came to a realization. No wonder Li Chengliang could take over Jianzhou Wei City in such a short time. The power of these cannons was really huge. Now, they were attacking the Jurchen tribes on the city wall and destroying all their defensive equipment.
Finally, they would attack their city gates.
Even if the city gates were made of thick iron, they would not be able to withstand the immense power of the cannons!
The Jurchen tribe's defense method was very backward. They still used rolling wood thunder stones and boiling red oil. In the defense of the city before the Ming Dynasty, the power of red oil and rolling wood thunder stones was the greatest.
However, ever since the cannons came into existence, these primitive defensive equipment had all been eliminated.
……
The Fulang Machine Cannon was a heavy firepower weapon of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had thousands of cannons guarding the border, but the Jianzhou Jurchen did not have such an important firearm!
That's right, Jianzhou Jurchen didn't allow the existence of cannons. This was a restriction that the Ming Dynasty placed on the Jurchen tribes. Even if the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty, they didn't think of selling the cannons for silver.
The fire blazed on the city wall of Jianzhou Wei City. The hot oil that they had prepared for the Great Ming soldiers was overturned by the cannonballs. The hot oil flowed everywhere. After the cannonballs hit, the hot oil instantly ignited!
The defensive equipment that was originally prepared for the Great Ming soldiers had now become their death talismans!
Li Chengliang did not show any mercy. He ordered 300 cannons to fire one after another. Thousands of shells landed on the city wall, causing heavy casualties!
An hour later, the fire had engulfed the city wall. Li Chengliang ordered the cannoneers to aim the cannons at the city gate.
"Release!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of cannons flew towards the city gate!
A cannonball had cracked the city gate!
The second round of cannonballs caused even bigger cracks in the city gate…
The Jurchen clansmen who tried to block the city gate were sent flying by the terrifying power.
After hundreds of artillery shells landed, the entire city gate was blown away. Those artillery shells that were not blocked entered the city, and the Jurchen rebels who were hit by the artillery shells were turned into minced meat, corpses strewn all over the ground!
Two of the other three city gates were also blasted open by the cannons…
The Jurchen rebel army completely collapsed.
"Kill! The reward for capturing the leader of the rebel army alive is 100 taels!”
"Massacre the Jurchen tribe! Not a blade of grass or a tree!"
With Li Chengliang's order, 200,000 soldiers charged into the city.
Perhaps the act of massacring a city was cruel, but the Ming Dynasty generals had always used this strategy against the Mongol barbarians. However, the Ming Dynasty historians did not describe the massacre as massacring a city, but as reducing the population…
To implement a policy of reducing the population of the Mongolians and the barbarians beyond the Great Wall…
What was the policy of reducing the population?
It was very simple. Extermination meant a reduction in population!
As for the Ming Dynasty's plan to take advantage of Menggu, it was to reduce the population.
The Ming Empire had implemented a policy of reducing the population of the Mongolians and the barbarians beyond the Great Wall for two hundred years. When it came to Li Chengliang, he was only following the rules.
The Liaodong soldiers rushed into the city like wolves and tigers and began to plunder crazily.
Of these two hundred thousand soldiers, sixty thousand were from Liaodong's regular army, and the remaining one hundred and forty thousand were from the various tribes living in Liaodong.
In Liaodong, other than the Jurchen, there were many other races. These 140,000 people were legions formed by the foreign tribes. Li Chengliang promised them that as long as they won, they would be allowed to join Liaodong. This was the dream of the foreign tribes.
There were seventy thousand Jurchen rebels…
They resisted desperately. Li Chengliang led 60,000 Liaodong Ming Dynasty troops outside the city and did not enter. The city was too small, and 140,000 troops were already crowded enough. They only needed to lead the troops to wait for fatigue and kill the fleeing Jurchen rebels.
Li Chengliang had predicted that the Jurchen leader would definitely lead a troop out of the encirclement. His target was the Jurchen rebel leader!
The smell of blood wafted in the air.
The Jurchen tribe was massacred, and the leader of the Jurchen tribe was captured. A portion of the Jurchen tribe rushed out of the encirclement and tried to escape. Li Chengliang's troops had long been guarding the throat. How could they allow them to escape?
The Jurchen Clan was exterminated!
Facing the Liaodong army that was several times stronger than them, their fate had long been sealed!
……
The Jurchen clan's hundreds of years of foundation was destroyed in a single day.
Li Chengliang did not let anyone off. After killing the Jurchen of Jianzhou, he commanded his troops to kill the Jurchen of other tribes. With this massacre, he wiped out all the Jurchen in Liaodong!
The North Korean army attacked the Yeh Nala tribe and cooperated with Li Chengliang to push north until they reached the Siberian Sea, bringing three million square kilometers of Siberian land into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun checked his attributes.
[The Ming Dynasty's national strength: 21 million.]
[Great Ming Territory: 12.3 million square kilometers…]
When Zhu Yijun took over Great Ming's territory, it was still 8.7 million kilometers. After a great battle, the territory reached a terrifying 12.3 million square kilometers.
Li Chengliang transported the wealth that the Jurchen Tribe had accumulated for hundreds of years back to the Liaodong treasury. The Liaodong treasury was originally the poorest treasury in the country. However, after plundering the Jurchen Tribe's wealth for a hundred years, the Liaodong treasury actually increased by three million taels of silver, three hundred thousand pieces of deerskin, and countless furs…
To Li Chengliang, this was definitely a huge sum of money.
However, Zhu Yijun pouted a little after seeing these gains.
This Jurchen tribe was too poor. The entire tribe only had three million taels of silver…
This was not even comparable to the corruption of a corrupt official in the Great Ming Dynasty…
In the imperial garden, Zhu Yijun thought of the aristocrats and squires in the country…
It was said that the Kong family had 100,000 mu of fertile land and more than 3,000 servants. The rich merchants were also exempted from taxes because they were descendants of saints...
After accumulating for over a thousand years, his wealth was comparable to that of a country!
Zhu Yijun crossed his legs. He really wanted to behead all the landowners and squires in the country. In that case, the national treasury would probably increase by hundreds of millions of taels of silver in an instant…
However, this was just a thought. He could not make a move on them yet!
However, this Jurchen tribe was really poor!
Zhu Yijun closed the system. At this time, Feng Bao and the Six Fan School experts returned to the capital. The Brocade Guard behind them carried a wooden box. The wooden box was not big, just enough to hold a head.
