Chapter 57 Recovering Liaodong

There are often Han jn among Chinese people, and it is natural that there are few rjn people who will act as rjn's escort* for profit. (After Wu Sinan received Yue Su's letter, he immediately started looking for such a person, and within two days, he found him.

The name of this man is Ichiro Kiyizumi. His occupation is ronin, which means he has no serious occupation and does not even have a place to live.

Wu Sinan asked him to pretend to be the son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the posthumous son of Toyotomi Hideyori, and gave him a name called Toyotomi Fuye, which means reviving the ancestral foundation. Tokugawa Ieyasu was originally a subordinate of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

One of the five elders of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still alive, he asked his son Toyotomi Hideyori to marry Tokugawa Ieyasu's granddaughter Chiki.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was strong, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent his main force to North Korea. He was beaten into a miserable state, and finally died in hatred.

After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, war broke out again in the unified Japan. Tokugawa Ieyasu first launched the Battle of Sekigahara, defeating Toyotomi Hideyoshi's confidant General Ishida Mitsunari, the leader of the Five Factions, and with this battle, he became the great conqueror of the barbarians.

General After this battle, the Toyotomi family was severely weakened and gradually declined. Tokugawa Ieyasu was strong, so he planned to destroy the Toyotomi family. Because he needed an excuse to start a war, he first proposed three things to Toyotomi Hideyori.

Personal requirements: First, let the Toyotomi family surrender to the Tokugawa family and go to Edo to meet them; second, let Toyotomi Hideyori's mother go to the Tokugawa family as a hostage; third, let Toyotomi Hideyori leave his territory and go to

somewhere else

How could Toyotomi Hideyori agree to such a request? The relationship between the two parties officially broke down. Tokugawa Ieyasu led his army to attack Osaka, and finally broke through Osaka Castle, killing all the men in the Toyotomi family regardless of age.

Although the Toyotomi family was defeated, it still had some prestige in Japan. Wu Sinan asked Ichiro Kiyizumi to pretend to be Toyotomi Hideyoshi's great-grandson, use the banner of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and start to confront Tokugawa Ieyasu. In this case, the Ming army attacked Japan

There are many excuses. For example, my Ming Dynasty once made Toyotomi Hideyoshi the king of our country, but you Tokugawa Ieyasu destroyed the Toyotomi family. You really didn’t give our Ming Dynasty face, and you dared to send troops to attack our Ming Dynasty. This is definitely me

The Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate our Ming Dynasty sending troops this time. Firstly, to avenge Toyotomi Hideyoshi and support Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descendants to regain their foundation. Secondly, we want to show you Tokugawa Ieyasu a little bit of beauty, so that you know that I, the Ming Dynasty, are not easy to mess with.

of

This excuse is obviously far-fetched, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty at all, and even drove away the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, Tokugawa Ieyasu accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and worshiped him as King R.

But this kind of thing is just an excuse. No matter whether it is far-fetched or not, it is justified

It is because of this excuse that the domestic situation in r Japan suddenly changed. Tokugawa Ieyasu's slogan of gathering troops and horses to resist the Ming Dynasty was to resist the Ming Dynasty's aggression. It was a foreign war. Of course, r Japan was united and united.

With this excuse, foreign war seems to have turned into internal war

People all have a speculative mentality. Those who do well under Tokugawa Ieyasu will naturally not oppose Tokugawa Ieyasu, but those who do not do well, many have evil thoughts in this, especially the former Toyotomi family.

The samurai, because they had no masters, became rogues, hungry and full, and their families suffered accordingly. Now the Ming army is using the banner of the Toyotomi family, although they know that all the Toyotomi family are dead, this Toyotomi family

The credibility of the descendants of the Tomi family is very low, but they would rather believe that they are there and join the Toyotomi family camp without hesitation.

With the support of many Japanese ronin, some families who were not favored by the Tokugawa family no longer sided with the Tokugawa family. The situation of the Ming army suddenly became very good. Tokugawa Iemitsu's counterattack against Chiba,

No progress was made at all, and the two sides fought another evenly matched battle. Although it was a tie, the Ming army's rule in Chiba was somewhat consolidated.

Wu Sinan fought fiercely in rben, and Yue Su was not idle in bejng. He mobilized an army of 250,000, and together with the Ming army of 120,000 in Shanhaiguan, the army of 370,000, known as 730,000, advanced by land and water, and attacked Liaodong.

go

The Jurchens now know that all Huang Taiji and others who entered the pass died in the pass, which was a huge blow to their morale, because Huang Taiji took away all the elites of the Eight Banners, and the rest were mostly Han and Mongolian. The Jurchens' troops were only

Bordered yellow flag and red flag

Hearing that the Ming army was calling, Hauge quickly mobilized troops and horses, and sent people to Mongolia for help, hoping that the Mongolian ministries would send troops to help. The Mongolian ministries had originally sent troops and horses to follow Huang Taiji into the pass, but all the people who went there died in the pass, and none of them came back.

, it can be said that a lot of vitality has been damaged. Now that the Jurchens have come to ask for help, no one has sent troops for reinforcements. Even if they have good relations with the Jurchens, the Horqin tribe does not dare to send a single soldier. The reason is very simple. Even a fool can see that the Jurchens

Death is certain this time. Anyone who dares to send troops to help is seeking death.

No Mongolian tribe was willing to send troops, and the Ming army had already reached Jinzhou. Hauge personally led 40,000 cavalry. Counting all his cavalry assets, he came to fight the Ming army for a decisive battle. But he did not expect that the Ming army had more cavalry than he did.

Yue Su surrendered more than 100,000 horses in the pass. This time, they basically attracted the Jurchens. He planned to give the Jurchens a way to repay others. Although it means that there are many in the army who are not cavalry, but just

I have been learning horse riding for more than half a month. Compared with the Tatars, my equestrian skills are far behind, but I can't handle the large number of people. In the front are the cavalry from Guan Ning, behind are the cavalry from Ji Zhen, Xuanfu, and Datong, and at the end are the hand cavalry.

When the two sides fought, the Tatars were defeated and fled in embarrassment.

Hauge himself is a reckless man. He is far from resourceful when marching and fighting. Although Fan Wencheng is more cunning, the commanders of the army, Yue Su and Hong Chengchou, are not fools. The army moves step by step and gives you no chance at all. Fan Wencheng

Unfortunately, Hauge finally gave Hauge a way, asking him to retreat to Changbai Mountain, give up his territory, and go to the mountains to deal with the Ming army. Unfortunately, Hauge refused to listen and insisted on fighting. After the battle, he basically lost all his family wealth.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Su sent his troops to capture Jinzhou, and Mao Wenlong led the navy to capture Liaoyang. The army continued eastward and attacked Shengjing. The Tatars had lost their ability to resist. Many people began to change their minds. The Jurchens ran to Changbai Mountain, and Mongolia

The Han soldiers who fled to Mongolia to take the Han banner were secretly communicating with the Ming army, hoping that the Ming army would accept their surrender.

Mr. Yue refuses no one who comes. When I replied to them, you were forced to surrender to the Tatars. Now it’s time to go home. As long as you are willing to surrender, the court will forget everything. And what were you in the Ming army before?

Official positions, what kind of official positions will be given to you after you come back? Not only that, the court will also give you the opportunity to perform meritorious service. A Tatar head is equivalent to ten silver dollars. The more you kill, the more you will be given. If you can get the same treatment as the Ming army,

What kind of prince, if you come with Baelor’s head, you’ll get a generous reward, and if you capture him alive, it’ll be even more generous.

The fact that the Han Dynasty was able to surrender to the Tatars means that one day they will surrender to others. Since the imperial court has said that bygones are bygones, what are we waiting for? We might as well just surrender. Although Mr. Yue once broke his promise to Huang Taiji, we can at least

The Han people are different from the Tatars. No matter how you surrender, there is a way to survive. You can't die with the Tatars.

As a result, countless Han soldiers returned after hearing the news, and the Jurchens collapsed completely. Outside Shengjing, Hauge and Daishan led their troops in a suicidal decisive battle, and finally died among the Jurchens in the rebellion.

Many of the female relatives of Huang Taiji were killed by their own men, such as Bumbutai, Zhezhe and other Huang Taiji's wives. Before Hauge left the city for the decisive battle, they had all been killed, as well as the Han slaves in the city.

They were all killed. The most unlucky person was Fan Wencheng. He was also killed by Hauge. He was asked to go down and bury his father with him. When the city was destroyed, there was no need to elaborate on how miserable the city was. It can be said that ten rooms and nine empty houses were

After taking Shengjing, Yue Su sent troops to kill the remnants of the Jurchens. After half a year of killing, basically no Jurchens could be seen in the Liaodong area. Only in the deep mountains and old forests, there could be some survivors.

Regarding the surrendered Han soldiers, Master Yue really kept his word this time. He did not kill them all like he did with the Tatars after they surrendered. Some people say that the Han soldiers are the most hateful. Why didn't Master Yue kill them? It's really because

I deceived the Tatars last time. If I break my promise again this time, how can I be called Yue Shoufu in the future? Not everyone can bear this reputation of being unreliable.

Furthermore, most Han soldiers had no choice but to surrender to the enemy. If they had not been captured by the Tatars, how could they have surrendered to the enemy? Just like Fan Wencheng, it was because he was kidnapped by the Tatars that he became a Han soldier.

The few soldiers were forced to surrender to the Tatars because they were plundered back to Liaodong when the Tatars entered the customs. They all came from poor people, and their circumstances were excusable. They really did not deserve to die. Real Han Hanjn,

For example, Tong Yangzheng, Li Yongfang, and Sun Degong really did not surrender. They all died with the Tatars because they were too embarrassed to surrender and thought that after surrendering, they would die miserably. So, the rest can

Those who surrender, their sins are not too serious

When Mr. Yue accepted the surrender, he considered all aspects. If he had not accepted the surrender, those Han people would not have waited for death. They would have either joined forces with the Tatars and resisted to the end, or they would have escaped and become bandits. No matter how they chose.

, it is all detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. Either it will cause too many casualties to the Ming army, or it will affect the public security in the future. If you do not have an official position, you will be given land, and you will continue to be a commoner. If you have an official position, you will be punished.

Investigation, if the crime is minor, you were forced to surrender to the enemy in the first place. For example, you were defeated and captured. If you are still in office and reinstated, it is really written off. If you say that you were bribed by the Tatars to surrender to the enemy, you will not be punished at that time.

, but they are all transferred to bejng, given equal official positions, put under house arrest, and then killed whenever they find trouble.

Liaodong was recovered. After Yue Su's squadron returned to Beijing, Shao had to transfer his troops to Japan to help Wu Sinan resolve the war situation in Japan.
