1635 Han style rises again

1662, the year of Renyin, the 20th year of Qianwu in Daqi, the eighth year of Guangde in Ming Dynasty, and the second year of Kangxi in Puppet Qing Dynasty.

Two years ago, the second Northern Expedition launched by Ming Dynasty was anticlimactic and ended hastily.The two sides are still facing each other with the Huaihe River as the boundary, and are silently accumulating their respective strengths, trying to give each other a thunderous blow at a certain moment.

Compared with the temporarily silent situation on the mainland, a local war suddenly broke out in the once stagnant Northeast Asia region.

In the first ten days of December last year, a group of indigenous vassal soldiers from Zhenzhou, a territory belonging to King Yong of the Ming Dynasty, "mistakenly entered" the northwestern area of ​​Hamgyong-do, North Korea, and had an armed conflict with local Korean soldiers and civilians. However, the local soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties, more than a dozen villages were destroyed, and countless women and property were plundered.

On December 12th last year, the local prefect of Tamna Island, the territory of King Yeong, sent people to Jeolla-do, North Korea, to demand compensation and punishment for the North Korean navy officers and soldiers who caused the unprovoked expulsion and sinking of the Daming fishing boat, and promised that they would never do it again. There are such incidents.

The North Korean Jeolla Observation Envoy immediately rejected the unreasonable request of the local governor of Tamna Island, claiming that the North Korean navy was performing patrol missions in its own waters and had reason to expel and detain any ships that invaded North Korean territory.

On January 1, King Yong of Yunzhou sent a strictly worded interrogation document to King Li Wei (Hyeonjong of Joseon), accusing North Korea of ​​plotting to collude with the Qing captives to attack the Shandong and Yunzhou territories of the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to prove your innocence and show that you have not linked up with the Qing captives, you need to immediately attack the rear of the Qing captives from the Liaodong Peninsula and the Yalu River with the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou Town, or lead the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou Town into the north of North Korea to attack Liaodong. , and provide the necessary food and supplies.

Attacking the Qing captives, how dare North Korea dare to do it!

Prior to this, Emperor Xiaozong (Li Hao) made great efforts to govern, rectified the army and horses, and wanted to carry out the Northern Expedition to clear the captives.However, a few years ago (1654), under the leadership of General Xuanwei of the Qing Dynasty and Wang Yuele of Duoluoan County, the Eight Banners led an army of more than [-] people. In less than a month, they penetrated North Korea and captured Wangjing, which made the former king and many important ministers embarrassed. Flee to Nanhan Mountain City to avoid the sharp edge.

Although, after that, North Korea immediately turned its back on Qinglu and returned to Daming, but the whole country was afraid of Qinglu from the bottom of their hearts, for fear that Qinglu would send troops to attack again.Over the past few years, in addition to continuously strengthening the northern defense line, North Korea has paid great attention to the construction of Wangjing Seoul.They also conscripted a large number of civilians and built many fortifications on the south bank of the Han River as Wang Jing's last line of defense. In fact, they had long since abandoned the "Northern Expedition" theory that the former king Xiaozong made the country right.

Of course, the mountain city of Namhan, which had resisted the attacks of the Qing captives many times, was also a fortress built by North Korea.

The North Koreans almost built their country into a huge tortoise shell, just to have a certain ability to protect themselves when dealing with the threat of Qing captives.As for actively attacking the Qing captives, don't be ridiculous, we don't have the guts!

Now, King Yong of Yunzhou actually wanted North Korea to prove his innocence, saying that he did not collude with the Qing captives and invaded Liaodong by the Yalu River, and it was still in this severe winter!

we are not going!We will not go even if we are killed!

Anyway, our North Korea did not collude with the Qing captives, the sun is shining, the emperor of Ming Dynasty and the king of Qin who are in power can prove that our North Korea is a submissive vassal state.You Yunzhou Town should stop making troubles for no reason. Although King Yong is the brother of the Son of Heaven, he is extremely honorable, but he is a vassal king just like us in North Korea. He cannot dictate my North Korean affairs, let alone threaten me with force.

On January 1, under the pretext that North Korea colluded with the Qing captives and wanted to rebel against Ming Dynasty, Yunzhou Town dispatched more than 12 naval ships and more than [-] marine troops from Donglai, an important town in the southeast of Gyeongsang-do, North Korea (now Busan City, South Korea) ) landed and launched a war against Korea.

On January 1, under the heavy artillery bombardment supported by the Qi army, on the fourth day after the landing of Yunzhou Town, Donglai was conquered and more than 16 Korean troops were wiped out.

On January 1, Yunzhou Town defeated Ulsan Duhufu, and more than 20 troops annihilated North Korea.

On January 1, I went to Liquan County again.

On January 1, Lian Kexinghai and Liangshan counties approached Gyeongju.

On February 2, after three days of bitter fighting, Yunzhou Town broke through Gyeongju Prefecture, captured the Gyeongsang-do East Observation Envoy and dozens of local officials from North Korea, and killed and injured more than 1 North Korean soldiers.

For more than half a month, all the prefectures, counties and counties along the southeast coast of Gyeongsang-do, North Korea fell, and nearly [-] troops were lost. Even the prefecture, Gyeongju, was lost, and the whole of North Korea was shaken.

King Li Wei of North Korea issued an edict to gather troops from all over the country to deal with the invasion of Yunzhou Town, and at the same time sent several envoys to the temporary camp of Yunzhou Town in Donglai, asking why the other party, who belonged to the Daming clan, made the rash move to attack North Korea move.

Yunzhou Town has been attacking North Korea for half a month. Although it has seized several counties, counties and prefectures, at this time, some troops are gradually feeling insufficient.Immediately, Wu Pingyi, the commander-in-chief of the army and the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou Town, made false claims with the North Korean envoys and proposed various truce conditions, while waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements from Yunzhou Town.

On February 2th, Shen Shoucai and Peng Renke, the former generals of Zhoushan, led more than 8 troops to land in the east, and then attacked and marched towards Ninghai Duhufu, Gyeongsangdo, and conquered Ninghai on February 2.

On February 2, North Korea assembled more than 11 troops and set off from Sangju Prefecture to attack the east.

Seeing this, Wu Pingyi, the commander-in-chief of the attacking dynasty in Yunzhou Town, assembled the scattered soldiers and horses in Ninghai to face the Korean army.

On February 2, the two armies fought near Ninghai City.With the fierce bombardment of Qi army artillery, Yunzhou Town broke up the formation of the North Korean army. More than 16 musketeers fired in turn, killing more than [-] North Korean troops on the spot, and the North Korean army was defeated.

During the battle, more than [-] imperial troops were killed, wounded, and captured in Yunzhou town, and the rest were scattered in the wild.

With the momentum of great victory, Yunzhou Town even defeated Jinzhou, Shunxing, and Kunyang, threatening Sangju.

So far, except for the four prefectures and counties of Sangju, Seongju, Geoje, and Geochang, which are still under the control of the Korean army, almost the entire territory of Gyeongsangdo has fallen.

What frightened the North Koreans even more was that the Qi State, which had destroyed the [-] elite Eight Banners army of the Qing Dynasty in the First World War, dispatched more than ten warships to Wogou County, North Jeolla Province ( On the sea near the present-day Gunsan City, South Korea), the Kingdom of Korea is required to provide Qi with equal trading conditions.

However, before the North Korean side could reply, on February 2, nearly 20 troops from Qi landed in Wogou with two land companies, three squadrons of Changshan Island township soldiers, and two battalions of self-rescue troops. Jeollabuk-do territory.

On February 2, King Li Wei of North Korea received another bad news from Hamgyong-do. More than 26 Ming troops from Zhenzhou, a territory belonging to Yongwang, invaded the territory. The officers and soldiers of the North Korean Defense Office lost consecutive battles, and Huining, Rajin, Musan, and Cheongjin were all conquered, and they seemed to be fighting along the northeastern coast of North Korea all the way to Hamheung.

Faced with the three-way attack from Yunzhou Town and the Qi army, King Li Wei, who had succeeded to the throne for less than three years, immediately faltered, and sent Lingshen Lord Li Ying as a peace envoy to the east to negotiate with Yunzhou Town and Qi. countries to negotiate.

After more than half a month of arduous negotiations, North Korea once again reiterated and guaranteed its vassal responsibility to Daming, and promised Yunzhou that as long as the Ming Dynasty exists for one day, it will always be the vassal of Daming and vow not to defect.At the same time, in order to show respect to the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou Zuowei territory on the south bank of the Tumen River (the territory around Gyeongwon County, Hamgyong Province, North Korea) that was stolen during the period from King Taejo (Li Chenggui) to Emperor Taizong (Li Fangyuan) was taken away. It was placed under the jurisdiction of Zhenzhou, the territory of Daming Yongwang.

Qi State and North Korea open the commercial market in Qi State within the whole territory of the country. The subjects of Qi State come and go to live abroad and engage in commercial craft production. The Kingdom of Korea should give the best treatment.

However, after Yunzhou Township and Qi State Army reached a peace agreement with North Korea, in addition to wantonly plundering the occupied land population and property, they also extorted 5 taels of army repatriation fee from Lingshen Lord Li Ying in private. On the 3th, all were withdrawn from North Korea.

On April 4, Beijing Normal University.

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry of the Qing Dynasty, and Tong Liwen, the director of the Manufacturing Bureau, looked up and down the most special person in the capital. He had short hair, a thin face, a pair of sharp eyes, and he was wearing a specially modified double-breasted robe. Everything seems out of place with everyone here.

"You can't do it." Luo Shouzhang smiled, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "No matter how much you spend, it is impossible to complete the construction of the industrial system required by your master. You don't even know what you really are. What is missing, let alone how to proceed to build a real utensil manufacturing factory."

"So, didn't I have the cheek to ask Mr. Luo for advice?" Tong Liwen cupped his hands at him casually, and said with a smile: "Although you have been away from the mainland of Qi for more than ten years, how did they set out to establish Factory, how to produce utensils, how to dig ore and smelt iron, I think you should remember more or less."

"Do you think I will guide you to do this?" Luo Shouzhang asked sarcastically.

"The two maids given to you by the late emperor, I heard that they have given birth to four children for you over the years. The oldest seems to be nine years old. Do you want them to return to Hanzhou alive in the end? An accident happened by accident, and they all died?" Tong Liwen had a playful look on his face.

"..." Luo Shouzhang immediately opened his eyes angrily when he heard this, and stared fiercely at Tong Liwen.

"When the first emperor was here, he took good care of you. He never disliked you as a prisoner. He even allowed you to keep the clothes and hair accessories of the state of Qi. It can be said to be extremely generous." Tong Liwen said coldly: "It's impressive that you are ten years old. Over the past few years, have you offered a good strategy for my Qing Dynasty, and made a little effort for my Qing Dynasty? Now, there are ministers in the court who suggest that you beheaded to show the public, thinking that you have died in the Eight Banners soldiers of Qi over the years Revenge! When it comes to death, you probably don't care much about it. But your four children, and two of you are beautiful and beautiful, it's a pity!"

"...I was just an officer of the Marine Corps in the past. How did I know how to make utensils and how to build an industrial system?" Luo Shouzhang said through gritted teeth.

"You are the uncle of the puppet king of Qi, why don't you know how to make these utensils?" Seeing that the other party's tone softened, Tong Liwen felt relieved, and said with a smile: "You must have lived in Hanzhou for many years and saw There are countless factories, mines, and commercial companies. You only need to write down how to operate, how to start, and how to run related regulations. We will build some workshops first, and then revise them while running. Although you can't achieve the eighty-nine points of your Qi country, but five or six points, that's good."

Luo Shouzhang sat upright on the wooden chair, slightly closed his eyes, and remained silent.

The way to strengthen the country, first of all, must have a unified and powerful political institution that can effectively organize all domestic resources and forces, formulate scientific and reasonable national development plans, and be able to vigorously promote and implement them continuously.

Secondly, we must implement an open policy, exchange materials and energy with the outside world as much as possible, make up for the deficiency with surplus, and make the country's development closely follow the world trend and development pace.

Finally, try to keep the country away from the state of internal balance, and promote the flow of people and materials within the country.

Let me ask, can this backward and ignorant slavery Qing Kingdom really become powerful by developing so-called industries and making some utensils?
More than ten years ago, they failed to take advantage of the chaos and disorder after the collapse of Ming Dynasty to quickly unify the whole country.Today, after two Northern Expeditions, the Southern Ming Dynasty basically curbed the surging offensive of the Qing army. At the same time, it also stabilized the ruling order in the south and restored the economy in the south to a certain extent.In time, the south, through its huge economic and manpower advantages, and with the support of the Qi State, will inevitably carry out the third and fourth... several Northern Expeditions to drive the Qing out of the pass, and even invade Liaodong. Liting swept holes and dug their foundations.

"Did you know that two months ago, Da Ming and Qi State jointly attacked North Korea?" Tong Liwen had a gloating expression on his face, "By the way, North Korea didn't betray my Qing Dynasty and switch to Da Ming to become its loyal Is it a vassal state of the second? Why, there is a dispute within the family, and a dog-eat-dog scene is staged!"

"Dog bites dog?" Luo Shouzhang smiled, "Last month, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi who was guarding Shaanxi, refused to follow the order to move his town to Xiangyang. Instead, he led his troops to the west and invaded Lanzhou and Xining. What is this? Did Wu Sangui really go to Pingxi?"

Hearing this, Tong Liwen was a little ashamed and annoyed. He gave Luo Shouzhang a hard look, and said in a deep voice, "Wu Sangui, that repetitious villain, will sooner or later take his own consequences for his actions and fall into a situation beyond redemption."

In mid-February, the Qing court ordered Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, to move to Xiangyang to face the Ming army's Bai Wenxuan troops.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui was not willing to be the cannon fodder of the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Ming army on the front line of the Yangtze River.Guarding Shaanxi for several years, he can take advantage of the steep terrain of the Qinling Mountains, and with only a small force, he can block the Liu Wenxiu troops of the Ming Army on the front line of Hanzhong and Ankang. There is no need for repeated battles to consume his own strength.

However, in Xiangyang and Jingzhou areas, there is a flat river. Although many fortresses have been built, troops still have to be dispatched to start a brutal tug-of-war with the Ming army.This makes Wu Sangui, who has long been born with a separate regime in his heart, willing to waste his troops and fight for the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Shunzhi passed away, and he was succeeded by another child who was less than eight years old. Although there were four important ministers assisting the government, including Sony, Sukesaha, Ebilong, and Obai, there were turmoil in the court. Bo Yun is treacherous, and the elites of the Eight Banners will inevitably fight for power day by day.

Therefore, in Wu Sangui's view, my Qing Dynasty has gradually declined, and the Ming court in Nanjing may push it back, or even be expelled from the pass.At a time when the world situation is not yet clear, the best choice is to preserve strength and wait for the future.

Hearing Tong Liwen's words of cursing Wu Sangui, Luo Shouzhang felt a burst of joy in his heart for no reason.Once upon a time, the self-reliance of warlords that had generally occurred after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty appeared within the Qing Dynasty.

Hehe, this is probably because the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!
