On April 29, the second year of Daguan, Liu Dongyang led the West Route Army to defeat Lindan Batur's army south of Xiashuihai (now Daihai, Liangcheng, Inner Mongolia), wiping out more than 20,000 enemies in one fell swoop. The rest of Chahar's army broke up and fled.
Go north.
On May 18th, He Renlong led the army from the middle route to defeat the Chahar tribe again in Daqingshan, east of the Dongyang River, and captured more than 9,000 Chahar tribesmen.
On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, Mao Wenlong led his army from the East Route into the East Mongolian grasslands. He defeated many groups along the way and swept across the entire East Mongolian grasslands. The Khalkha people inside and outside were shocked by this. Zaisai sent envoys to Beijing one after another.
Ask the court to stop taking action, otherwise we will never sit idly by.
"It seems that the Inner Khalkha people can't sit still. Zaisai is going crazy, right? If Mao Wenlong doesn't stop taking action, what are the Inner Khalkha people going to do? Give Mao Wenlong's East Route Army a knife in the back?"
Feng Ziying sat on the throne and had some free time to talk to Cui Jingrong, You Shigong and Sun Chengzong.
"Haha, then Mao Wenlong and Zhen are just waiting for Zai Sai to make a move." You Shigong smiled and shook his head, "Liu Baichuan and Chen Jisheng were all impatient waiting, and Mao Chenglu's eyes were even red, just counting on Nei Ka
The Erkha people are joining the war."
Sun Chengzong also shook his head, "Zai Sai is not that kind of impulsive person. He will not send troops hastily without absolute certainty. However, it is very possible for the Outer Khalkha people to intervene from the north."
"Well, the Zaikarkha people live in Mobei. They are far away from us and have less contact with us. But can Subadi make Elek obey him? What about Shuolei?"
Feng Ziying pursed her lips and stood up, walked down from the throne, and nodded with her fingers while thinking.
"Is he willing to sacrifice his life for the Zai Sai? I don't think so, especially when Liu Dongyang and He Renlong played well on both the western and central lines. Subadi may have to consider the intervention of the Outer Khalkha people.
What will it bring? Or does he think that the internal and external Khalkha people can challenge us, Dahua, if they unite?"
"Perhaps you feel the coldness in your lips and teeth?" You Shigong pondered and said: "The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover up the soil. I don't think that the intervention of the Outer Khalkha people can change anything. The form of war has undergone earth-shaking changes. The use of firearms has
Large-scale use makes the original model of relying on cavalry for mobile surprise attacks and infantry relying on positional confrontations to consume them is no longer applicable. I have a deep understanding of this. This group of Liu Dongyang and He Renlong fought in the war with the Chahar people.
It has been fully proved that if Zaisai does not understand this, then we will give him another demonstration. Liu Baichuan and Mao Chenglu do not want to march on the grassland in vain without getting any credit. According to their temperament
, is determined to induce Zaisai to take action."
"Is this the right time?" Feng Ziying asked back: "The situation in North Korea has changed drastically. Li Hui wanted to eradicate his nephew Li Zhu. Li Zhu was unwilling to surrender and began to be active and asked the court for help. News from the Ministry of War said that it was very
It’s not optimistic. Japan is intensifying its troops again. It is said that Tokugawa Hidetada is preparing to take this opportunity to intervene in the Korean civil strife and support Li Hui..."
To be honest, Feng Ziying was very shocked when she received the news.
In the memory of his previous life, Tokugawa Hidetada has been very stable since he succeeded his father Tokugawa Ieyasu as the general who conquered the barbarians. His main thoughts were on domestic affairs, and he was constantly at odds with Emperor Gomizuo. At the same time, he was also constantly strengthening his control over local daimyo. How could this happen?
Are you thinking of meddling in North Korea's internal affairs again?
Feng Ziying once thought that the news from the Staff Division was wrong, but information from the Division's various channels proved that this was true.
According to Okaji, Tokugawa Hidetada believed that the Yuanxi Korean War (Imjin Japanese Rebellion) certainly gave the Tokugawa family an opportunity, but the influence of the Toyotomi family was still very deep, and the emperor was dissatisfied with the general.
The status of the shogunate has also been challenged, so I hope to use my performance in Korea to prove the authority of the shogunate.
Because the Jianzhou Jurchens, who were originally quite strong, were destroyed, and the new Han Dynasty seemed to turn its main energy to Nanyang in the south and Mongolia in the north, and began to relax the situation in the Northeast, especially in Liaodong, the main force of the Dongjiang Army was conquering Mongolia, so Japan felt that
This is an opportunity. If the support for Li Hui is successful, Japan's influence on the Korean Peninsula can be further established.
After confirming Japan's intention to invade North Korea, Feng Ziying had to face the fact that history had already changed, and it was no longer appropriate for her to use her original memories and thinking to think about it.
Now that Japan wants to infiltrate North Korea, he certainly cannot tolerate it.
And it also involves the Ryukyu issue.
The invasion of Ryukyu by the Japanese Satsuma clan more than ten years ago also aroused controversy between the court and China, but at the time the court was not focused on the sea, so the matter was left undisturbed.
Now is the time to settle this account.
The Satsuma Domain on Kyushu Island must be liquidated. At the same time, Feng Ziying also believes that it is necessary to establish a naval base and garrison troops on Kyushu Island to ensure deterrence against Japan. If necessary, Tanegashima, Yakushima, and Amami Oshima islands should also
Control is in the hands of Beihai Navy.
"The emperor means that Liu Baichuan and Mao Chenglu should deal with matters on the North Korean side first?" Sun Chengzong frowned, "But the situation on the North Korean side is still a bit confusing, and the battle between Li Hui and Li Ju is still in an unsolved state.
Under this situation, Japan is only secretly supporting Li Hui. It seems inappropriate for us to intervene now. After all, Li Hui is still the king of his country. We can only secretly support Li Hui and at the same time warn Li Hui not to use his original methods.
He treated Li Zhu the same way he dealt with Lord Linhai and Lord Yongchang, but it’s hard to say what the effect will be.”
Feng Ziying also felt a headache. The Northeast suddenly had to face changes in the Inner Khalkha and North Korea, and the military strength in several towns was a bit stretched.
When we decided to simultaneously eliminate the Chahar people on the three fronts in the East, Central and West, we did not expect that problems would arise in North Korea. Who would have thought that at a critical moment in the war, the situation on North Korea's side would suddenly change, and the key is that Japan would also intervene, which would have to be done.
Made a response.
"Zhisheng, what's the opinion of your Ministry of War?" Feng Ziying asked.
"The opinions of Li Qing and Da Zhang are to shock the mountain and scare the tiger, so that the Japanese will not dare to easily intervene in Korea." Sun Chengzong gave the suggestion, "Let the Beihai Navy send troops to station in Jeju Island and conduct exercises in Ezo, and let the Nanhai Navy
To station in Ryukyu, we may even consider landing on Amami Oshima and Tanegashima..."
After Yuan Keli took over as the left minister of the Ministry of War, Zheng Chongjian took over as the right minister of the Ministry of War after being vacant for half a year. This was also the second classmate of Feng Ziying to boldly appoint him after practicing state affairs.
Hearing what Sun Chengzong said, Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "By occupying Amami Oshima and Tanegashima, wouldn't the shogunate be tempted to do something wrong?"
"He thought about North Korea's long robes, and we thought about their mandarin jackets. There seems to be nothing inappropriate about it, right?" You Shigong laughed, "Wei Chen thinks it's okay."
