In the past few years, the ambitions of the Nurgan Commandant in Liaodong had gradually grown.
The Ming Dynasty did not have many officials and soldiers stationed in the Nurgan Duchy. Faced with the increasingly arrogant Jurchen, the officials and soldiers of the Nurgan Duchy had to endure.
After Zhu Youtang sent the credentials to North Korea.
A fierce military battle between the Jurchen and the Jian Nu started on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Jurchen can reserve up to 600,000 troops, and they are all young and strong, good at war.
North Korea can reserve 700,000 troops.
Of course, this time, both sides didn't use the strength of the entire country. Instead, they sent 50,000 troops to attack each other on Xiayu Island.
Xia Island, also known as Pi Island during the Chongzhen period, had a very strong strategic significance.
To the west was the Liaodong Peninsula, and to the east was the Korean Peninsula. No matter who took this island, it meant that they had absolute control over the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula.
However, when the two sides were deploying their troops on a large scale on Xixia Island…
The Ming army had already exited Shanhaiguan and surrounded the entire periphery of Nu Er Gan.
Slave Jian, who originally had the absolute advantage, had no choice but to turn back and defend. He was unwilling to give up the island.
Aisin Gioro Yoonzen was completely flustered.
He was not clear about the intentions of Great Ming's troops, but he knew that once Zhu Youtang started a war in Liaodong, his troops were not enough for Great Ming.
In the past, the Ming court had adopted a policy of appeasement towards Liaodong.
Aisin Gioro never expected the new emperor to be so unyielding.
He wasn't sure if Da Ming would send troops, even though Da Ming said it was just a routine training in Liaodong.
However, this vast army of nearly 600,000 Great Ming border guards was stationed on the outskirts of Liaodong. This kind of deterrence really made one's scalp go numb!
……
Morning court.
Zhu Youtang sat down.
Liu Jian stepped forward and said,"Reporting to the Emperor, Commander Nurgan has sent an envoy to see you."”
"What do you want to talk about first?" asked Zhu Youtang.”
"Aisin Gioro's request to mend the relationship with the Great Ming. He also presented a thousand horses, a million taels of silver, and fifteen beautiful women."”
As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion in the hall began.
During the Chenghua years, the Aisin Gioro clan was extremely arrogant. In Liaodong, they considered themselves to be the noblest group of people and even divided people into three, six, and nine classes according to the Eight Banners system.
And now? Why did he lower his proud head?
This was clearly admitting defeat.
The 600,000 border troops of the Ming Dynasty were stationed outside Liaodong. Just this deterrence alone was enough to make Aisin Gioro's heart tremble.
At that time, they robbed North Korea behind Great Ming's back. How arrogant were they?
Zhu Youtang looked at Liu Jian and waved."Give me your credentials."
Liu Jian respectfully presented it," Your Majesty, Commander Nu Er Gan's envoy is waiting outside. Should we…"
Before Liu Jian could finish speaking, Zhu Youtang reached out and tore the credentials in front of everyone.
"Tell them that I don't need these things. I want the Liaodong Peninsula!”
Zhu Youtang was not afraid of the rise of the Liaodong Jurchen. At least for the next hundred years, the Ming Dynasty would beat them.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had become the Empress of the Heaven Enlightenment Empire and the Nine Realms had been corrupted, how could Nurhachi have had the chance to rise?
Zhu Youtang did not hide anything in the court, and he disdained to use any schemes.
He told Slave Jian directly to find a good place to lie down!
If this dominance was in the Chenghua years, perhaps there would be people who would come out to oppose it.
After all, during the Chenghua years, the nine sides were too weak, and it was impossible for the Great Ming to mobilize the army to surround Nuzhen Jiannu.
But now it was different. In these two and a half years, the Great Ming Border Army was already so strong that it made one's hair stand on end, and could run amok in the Northern Desert Plains!
No one would doubt whether the emperor had this ability or not, because Da Ming's strength was unquestionable!
……
After Liu Jian told the envoy about Zhu Youtang's words.
Jian Nu's face was ashen. After leaving Bei Zhi Li, he couldn't help but tremble.
After the Great Ming swept away the powerful Wala and Tartar, the overlord of the northern border and Liaodong changed hands!
He didn't dare to delay any longer. He rode his fast horse and galloped towards Liaodong.
……
By the time the envoy arrived in Liaodong, five days had already passed.
Aisin Gioro Yoonsen listened to the messenger's account of the Ming Emperor's attitude.
He panicked.
For the first time, he felt what it meant to be filled with killing intent.
"Are you sure the Emperor of Ming said that?" Yun Shan grabbed the collar of his shirt.”
"Yes." The messenger lowered his head and remained silent.
"According to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, we robbed a foreign country under the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. It is a contempt for the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Emperor wants to take back Liaodong.”
"What?"
Yun Shan's eyes widened in horror!
He knew that the Ming court would not deploy troops to surround Liaodong for no reason.
How was this taking back Liaodong? This was clearly to destroy Liaodong!
Yun Shan's mind was spinning rapidly. The Jurchen had developed for a hundred years, and they were getting stronger and stronger. He could not let his ancestral business be ruined in his hands!
However, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that there was no solution to this situation!
Facing Da Ming's Soldier Peak, all he could do was surrender!
"No, I can't! There was still a chance of survival! There was more! Inform everyone to gather all the soldiers in the country and move to North Korea! As long as North Korea was destroyed! We can settle down there!"
"Yes!"
……
Zhu Youtang had long expected Aisin Gioro's only way to escape.
He pointed the spearhead at the Korean Peninsula.
Naturally, they did not dare to clash with the Great Ming Army. Aisin Gioro knew very well what the result would be.
The invincible Tartars and Wala on the grasslands were all wiped out by Ming.
How big was Liaodong Peninsula?
The Great Ming Emperor had deployed another six hundred thousand troops. The outcome of this battle was obvious even if one used their butt to think.
Therefore, after the envoy of Nurgan left, Zhu Youtang asked the cabinet to send a letter of credence to North Korea.
The Li Dynasty of North Korea was currently seriously looking at the credentials that Great Ming had handed over.
While King Li was grateful to Great Ming, he also began to respond on the Korean Peninsula.
North Korea mobilized all its soldiers and entered Kasumi Island in batches, waiting for the Jurchen to cross to the east.
They naively thought that the Ming Emperor had fallen out with Nurgan because Nuzhen robbed them, so they were naturally grateful to the Ming Emperor.
Now that he had received Zhu Youtang's reminder, he was so grateful that tears were about to fall.
Who said that the Ming Emperor was cruel? This was clearly a good person!
……
Good man Zhu Youtang is mobilizing troops.
"Quickly send the general's message to the southeast and have Qi Jingtong secretly send five warships to the Liaodong Peninsula.”
"When North Korea and the Jurchen are almost done fighting, get Qi Jingtong to destroy both sides.”
Zhu Youtang instructed casually, his eyes gradually narrowing.
The Ming army was just a smokescreen for Zhu Youtang to put pressure on Liaodong. The real secret weapon was in the southeast!
