1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3197
Haihan's diplomatic strategy in Northeast Asia in recent years is very clear: stop the war, but not promote peace.

There have been fierce wars between the dynasty and the sun, between the dynasty and the qing dynasty, between the Ming and qing dynasty, and between tomorrow and tomorrow, and there have been long-term hatreds that are difficult to resolve.

In addition to North Korea, the other three countries also have war records with Haihan.

If there is no deterrence imposed by Haihan, the wars between these countries in Northeast Asia will probably rise and fall like tides and never stop.

If wars broke out frequently in this area, it would not be a good thing for Haihan who wanted to develop the economy rapidly, but Haihan did not intend to resolve the old grievances of all parties.

It is the most beneficial situation for Haihan to maintain the current international relations in Northeast Asia and continue to be hostile to each other.

Sending soldiers of Japanese descent to Jeju Island, Busan Port and other territories belonging to North Korea, and transferring soldiers of Korean descent to the Sasebo base for duty are all making the most of this international situation.

And as far as the matter of "holding thighs" is concerned, the methods of the vassal states in these places in Japan can be regarded as unique, but the degree is far from that of North Korea.

What North Korea pursues is the real "majority doctrine". Simply put, it means that the wind blows in whichever direction it blows, and whoever is strong will recognize whoever is the father.

When Ming was strong, it became a vassal state of Ming, and when it could not defeat Japan, it paid tribute to Japan.

When Hai Han appeared on the stage, he beat up the tycoons around North Korea one after another, and North Korea immediately abandoned the previous suzerains, and rushed up without hesitation to hug Hai Han's thigh.

Whether it is the current king Li Yi, or Li Hao who is fighting against Li Yi in the north, they all have the experience of studying abroad in Haihan, and they all succeeded in ascending to power after receiving Haihan's support.

So for them, as long as they hug Haihan tightly, they can keep their power and position.To put it more seriously, this is even the only way for North Korea to keep its country and not be destroyed by the surrounding powers.

North Korea showed its loyalty in a more direct way. It actually sent two troops as a vassal state to Hangzhou to participate in the military parade.

However, the backers behind the two imperial courts in North Korea and South Korea are the Donghai Region and the Northern Region respectively, so these two troops did not appear together, but followed the troops at the end of the two regions' phalanx respectively.

Shi Diwen introduced to everyone that all members of the infantry company serving the southern Korean court had received several months of combat training in Zhoushan, and were sent to the Sasebo base for a long time after becoming an army.

The other North Korean company, which was following the parade troops in the northern region, was naturally replaced by Chen Yixin, the governor of the region, to introduce the situation.

This army serving the northern imperial court was trained at the Datongjiang base, and then was sent to serve in the Liaodong region. In three years, it changed its station many times, almost all of which were on the borders of Haihan, North Korea and the Qing Dynasty. .

In terms of combat effectiveness, the company in the north may be slightly stronger.After all, when they were stationed in the country, they had several armed conflicts with the Manchus. The result was more victories than losses, and their combat effectiveness has been tested in actual combat.

Of course, if you want to compare it with the regular army in the northern region, then the quality of this alliance army is definitely not enough.

The military power of the northern region was created by Qian Tiandun, Wang Tom and others.The Sixth Division of the Army and the Northern Fleet stationed there have a considerable number of key officers who are left in the local elite forces such as the former Special Operations Regiment and the Marine Corps, so there is no need to say much about their strength.

As for the territory in the northern region, it was almost forcibly fought by one battle after another. Today, the local garrison is still in a state of combat readiness all year round.

In terms of actual combat experience, it is difficult to find a comparable unit in the entire Haihan army.Its record is placed in the whole Haihan army for horizontal comparison, and it must be among the best.

As soon as the troops from the northern region showed up, the square immediately became a bit more murderous.The one who felt the deepest about this was probably Yue Shizong, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he didn't personally go to the front-line battlefield where the Ming army and the Haihan army fought, but when he was in the capital, he had read a lot of related battle reports.

In the records of the Ming army fighting Haihan in the Bohai Bay area, almost all of them were on the defensive side.Although there are inevitably some elements in the battle report that embellish one's own performance, but few places can hold for more than two days under the offensive of the Haihan army, and basically all of them will collapse at the first touch of the battle.

In the early years, when the Haihan army landed in Hejian Prefecture, they broke through the three guards of Tianjin within a day. The tens of thousands of troops near the capital had an advantage in strength, but they couldn't even stop an infantry regiment of the Haihan army on the battlefield.

It wasn't until after several big losses on the battlefield that Daming finally understood that Man Qing's defeat was not a coincidence, but that they really couldn't beat Hai Han.Even the more powerful Man Qing was beaten into obedience, how could Daming withstand Hai Han's offensive.

So later in the armistice agreement signed by the two countries, Haihan asked Daming to cede control of the coastal area, and Daming could only hold his nose and admit it.

Yue Shizong looked at the Northern Army slowly advancing on Victory Square with complicated emotions.On the one hand, he envied Haihan for having such a powerful military force. If Haihan hadn't intervened in the northern war in time, the Ming Dynasty might have been captured by the Manchus in the capital.

But on the other hand, he is also very clear that the presence of the Haihan army in the north is not to help Da Ming, on the contrary, they are one of the main reasons for Da Ming's collapse.Haihan and the Manchus just came to the same goal by different routes, and their purpose was to invade the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Yue Shizong looked sideways at the viewing platform where the executive committee was seated, and he could see the complacent expressions of those senior Haihan officials.

Ming Dynasty lacks the military power to compete with it, so it is very difficult to sit on an equal footing with the other party during negotiations.What's more, in this assassination case, Daming has already been grasped by the other party, and there is really no reason for it.

Yue Shizong's goal was to persuade Haihan to put the follow-up matters of the assassination case on the negotiating table to avoid further deterioration of the situation, but he had no idea what price Daming would have to pay for this.

The only thing that is certain is that the Haihan Executive Committee, which is known for its shrewdness, will never miss such a good opportunity to rob Daming.

Yue Shizong couldn't think of asking for land, compensation, or other conditions, but if he rejected Haihan's conditions on behalf of Daming, then the troops who were showing their force on Victory Square at this time would probably be killed soon. It will appear on the battlefield where the two countries confront each other.
