I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 621 The destruction of Jianlu (end of this volume)

Hearing the emperor's instructions, Zheng Zhilong was immediately overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

After all, the most important thing in ocean voyages is the ships. Most of the eight ships this time are Western ships customized by Li Dan from Fo Langji before. They are also one of Li Dan's most important assets.

Being able to take it out this time is enough to show that Zheng Zhilong and Li Dan have made a profit.

And now the emperor is sponsoring two more red-haired ships, which will undoubtedly improve the reliability of this voyage.

As for the emperor's request to survey more North America this time, Zheng Zhilong naturally had no objection. After all, to him, North America and South America were the same, as long as the emperor was satisfied.

So Zhu Youxiao and Zheng Zhilong hit it off and each got what they needed.

Later, Zhu Youxiao asked Zheng Zhilong about Li Dan. This time, Li Dan spent a huge amount of money to invest in Daming Trading Company, which made Zhu Youxiao look at him with admiration. It seemed that Li Dan was still somewhat courageous, and his favorable impression of him doubled.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao has sent Jin Yiwei to Japan, preparing to secretly contact Yan Siqi, a Chinese maritime merchant who also lives in Japan.Prepare to secretly fund his rebellion in Japan, and Li Dan, as a person who has lived in Japan for a long time, will also have the opportunity to contribute to this matter in the future.

Faced with the emperor's inquiry, Zheng Zhilong also told everything he knew and kept talking until the afternoon.

Time also passed quickly, and by the beginning of August, the new Lordship system was finally released under the joint formulation of the Cabinet, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel.After Zhu Youxiao saw it, he felt that its content was no different from what he mentioned, so he immediately approved and promulgated it.

It's just that although this new Lord System has been promulgated, their protagonists are still fighting in Liaodong.

After taking Sarhu, Chen Liangbi rested for a full month before finally setting off from Sarhu and attacking Hetuala.

During this period, Yue Tuo also sent people to ask for surrender several times, proposing that as long as the Ming Dynasty could save his life and not punish others, he would open the gates of Hetuala City and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

But how could Chen Liangbi, who was just one step away from the goal, agree to his request.

In Chen Liangbi's view, Yue Tuan had only two options to choose from, either fight to the end, or surrender unconditionally, and Ming Dynasty would handle everything.

As for any conditional surrender, it was all wishful thinking. Seeing the Ming army's tough conditions, Yue Tuan, who was still lucky at first, now understood that he had no choice. Now he could neither fight nor defend, so he could only choose to escape.

Ever since Zhang Anning told him about escaping to North Korea, he had always taken the matter to heart.

Later, he sent his confidants to inspect the North Korean border and found that it was indeed possible to leave, but he could not bring a large force, otherwise he would be easily held back by the Ming army.

Therefore, after seeing that there was no hope of survival by surrendering, he first sat in Hetuala, stabilized the morale of the army, and organized resistance among the soldiers and civilians in the city. At the same time, in order to prevent the news from leaking, he sent people to check the four city gates and strictly prohibited the residents of the city from escaping. Once discovered, he would be severely punished.

At the same time, he secretly assigned Zhang Anning and other cronies to send Dorgon, Duoduo and other members of the Aisin Gioro family, as well as Li Erzhan and other North Korean ministers, and elite men with red flags out of the city first, and arrived at the city by the Yalu River first. He took refuge in the village and waited for his arrival.

By the time Chen Liangbi led the main force of the Ming Dynasty to the city of Hetuala, the city was already in chaos, and it was already a doomsday scene.What Ming Dynasty did in Saerhu City has already been spread here, and everyone in the city has already guessed the outcome after the city is broken.

Now Hetuala is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and the Ming soldiers and horses outside the city are like butchers holding blunt knives, sharpening their knives, seemingly waiting for the day when the city is broken to slaughter.

The emotions of depression, panic, and confusion spread throughout the city, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

If Yue Tuo hadn't brought some elite troops to guard the main city, the city would have been in chaos.But for some unknown reason, Yue Tuo also hunkered down in the inner city, relying on paperwork to deliver orders, and his appearance became less and less frequent.Chen Liangbi did not give them a chance. After the Ming army arrived at the city and took a short rest, he followed the original order of attacking the city. He bombarded the city with Krug artillery for three or four days. After blowing up the city wall, he sent the Jurchen camp and the Jing camp to attack. city.

Then, four days after the bombing, there were six collapses in the walls of Hetuala.

Chen Liangbi immediately sent people to attack the city. At this time, the defenders in the city sent people to report to the inner city and asked Yue Tuo what to do. Only when they discovered that Yue Tuo had disappeared long ago.

As Yue Tuo disappeared, Dorgon and others were also present. The nobles of the Eight Banners who were deceived by Yue Tuo were dumbfounded. They immediately understood that Yue Tuo must have run away, and they were the scapegoats.

The news spread quickly in the city. When they heard that Yue Tuo had led the Aixinjueluo family to escape, everyone was shocked and instantly lost their will to fight. The city was in chaos and no effective resistance could be organized at all.

When some people saw Yue Tuo running away, they stopped resisting and took advantage of the gap when the Ming army had just entered the city to escape through other city gates.

Some people felt that there was a dead end and they didn't know what to do. They immediately started chaos and set fire in the city, hoping to die together.

More people were at a loss and surrendered to the Ming army one after another.

Since the Jin Yiwei obeyed the emperor's instructions, no one told Zhang Anning this time.Therefore, Chen Liangbi was shocked after receiving the news. While he ordered people to station in various yamen of Jianlu to put out the fire and rebellion in the city, and gather the surrendered soldiers, Heshun and others quickly led the rangers to search for the whereabouts of Yue Tuo and others.

It's just that Chen Liangbi will definitely not be able to catch up with Yue Tuo. Now Yue Tuo is leading more than 2000 soldiers and horses with red flags. They have arrived at the ferry that they have selected to cross the Yalu River, and are preparing to arrive in North Korea at night.

No matter what, although Yue Tuan was not captured, Chen Liangbi at least captured Hetuala, killing more than [-] people and capturing more than [-] people.

At this point, the "Great Jin Kingdom" established by Nurhaci was destroyed, and all the main forces of the Eight Banners, except for a few remnants, were all wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.

When the news of taking Hetuala came back to Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Five years have passed since Nurhachi established the Khanate, declared his loyalty to heaven, declared the Seven Great Hatreds, and declared war on the Ming Dynasty;
Four years have passed since the disastrous defeat of Saerhu in the Ming Dynasty and the deterioration of the situation in Liaodong. He was ordered to ride out alone in the face of danger and stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

For four whole years, he had no idea how many gray hairs he had endured, how many nights he had not slept, and how many impeachments he had endured.

Sometimes he would wake up from nightmares, in which he was impeached by officials and forced to resign.Nurhaci then took the opportunity to attack Shenyang and won the Battle of Hunhe.

Then they took advantage of the victory to take Liaoyang, swept Liaodong, and Guangning also fell one after another.In the end, it even entered the customs and swept the world, causing the land of China to fall into the hands of foreigners again.

But fortunately this is just a nightmare, nothing is real!

In reality, he, Xiong Tingbi, had already stabilized Liaodong, recovered lost territory, and wiped out the rebels with the support of the emperor.

He, Xiong Tingbi, finally lived up to the entrustment of Emperor Shenzong and his pilgrims.

The nightmare didn't come true!
