No one knew Dorgon's plan, and no one could guess the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty. Even Fan Wencheng, a military master who was known as Zhiduoxing, knew nothing about it.

What they faced was a tiger and wolf army equipped with firearms. Although the Qing cavalry was powerful and even though they were at the peak of cold weapons, they were still vulnerable in front of the powerful firearms of the Ming army.

So what method does Dorgon have to defeat such a terrible Ming army?

No one knew that the Qing Dynasty had been keeping a low profile. Since Huang Taiji had been waiting for this day. Huang Taiji knew, and Dorgon knew too.

After Huang Taiji defeated Shaanxi, he stayed silently after returning to Shengjing. He ordered the Eight Banners not to step into Liaodong because he experienced the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, after sending a small group of cavalry to the city of Jinzhou to test the power of the Liaodong Ming army, Huang Taiji did not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty again.

Then, the Eight Banners hid on the territory of the Qing Dynasty and kept a low profile. At that time, Zhu Cilang was busy leading troops to combat the enemy and had no time to take care of the Qing Dynasty.

Even Zhu Ciyang forgot that the Qing Dynasty would be so honest. Maybe they were afraid of being beaten, is this really true?

No, the Qing Dynasty never thought of bowing his head. During the days when he was keeping his low profile, Huang Taiji dragged his sick body and frequently summoned Dorgon.

Because Dorgon provided the strategy, the two often talked at night until late at night. This is one of the reasons why Concubine Zhuang elected Dorgon as the regent, and did not encounter many oppositions.

Although advanced weapons are powerful, they can also counterattack with unexpected tactics. It is still unknown who will win the final destiny between the two sides.

At least for the time being, Zhu Cilang has not seen through the tactical strategies of the Qing Dynasty. He also naively thought that going north to conquer the Qing Dynasty this time should not be difficult.

The flintlock rifle is not omnipotent. The firearm alone cannot defeat the Qing Dynasty. Zhu Cilang actually knew this. What he didn't know was that Dorgon was already opening a big net, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.

North Korea and North Korea were once again in dire straits. The five thousand cavalry of Oboi were beaten to the ground for their teeth. The military-civilian army was vulnerable to the front of the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.

What should I do? I can only accept my fate. The people donated the few foods that were originally, and then were escorted by the officers and soldiers without hesitation and sent them to the Qing Dynasty.

There is no way. If it cannot be done, the Qing Dynasty will launch another army. Moreover, there will be no grass left.

Li Jue had no choice but to give an order: All the fees in the palace were cut. For all members of my royal family, three meals a day were changed to two meals. The following ministers also need to follow the examples. The other fees in the palace were reduced by half.

A king, a dignified king of a country, was eventually forced to eat two meals a day, which was so sad. From top to bottom, the Joseon Dynasty tightened its belt to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

When the ministers went to court, they often burst into tears as they talked. King Li Jue also cried with them.

Just when North Korea was about to be desperate, the turning point finally came.

It was not that Dorgon had any kindness. The Qing Dynasty had a difficult life, so he would not take into account the life of North Korea.

They were the Korean envoys sent to the Ming Dynasty. They returned to North Korea by sea again by boat.

The messengers arrived at the Joseon Palace without stopping. They finally brought great news.

The envoy knelt on the ground and handed over the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty in surprise.

Li Yu looked at it over and over again, and his face could no longer hide his surprise expression. The ministers below looked at each other.

Li Yu smiled at the sky: "Hahahaha, God bless me, North Korea, we are saved, we are saved! The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is determined to send troops to help me, North Korea and attack the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials below knelt all over the ground, crying bitterly: "Long live the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, long live, long live!"

The Ming Dynasty sent troops, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to aid North Korea. That means that North Korea is saved.

During the Wanli period, facing the Japanese invasion, it was the Ming Dynasty who took action to save North Korea. Now, when North Korea is facing crisis again, the Ming army is coming.

This time, all the North Koreans were full of gratitude for the Ming Dynasty, which was the supreme country of the Celestial Kingdom. Because the Ming Dynasty was a benevolent and righteous army, the Ming Dynasty did not have the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty. Even the tributes paid to the Ming Dynasty by North Korea would be doubled back.

The Ming Dynasty was a country with great land and abundant resources. Naturally, it could not be underestimated by these small countries. Therefore, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were quite generous. This also made vassal states such as Korea devoted themselves to the Ming Dynasty.

Even the ascension of the Korean king requires official certification from the Ming Dynasty to become legitimate. Otherwise, it will not be orthodox.

There have been several palace changes in Korea, and the destruction of the king has happened frequently. The superiors are eager to get recognition from the Ming Dynasty, and often send envoys to the Ming Dynasty after seizing power. However, the Ming Dynasty responded several times and refused to recognize the status of the usurper.

It can be seen how important the Ming Dynasty was in the eyes of North Korea. Even after North Korea was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and surrender to Huang Taiji, when the Qing Dynasty envoy returned, North Korea immediately restored the Ming Dynasty's calendar. Even in private, the Ming Dynasty's reign was still continuing.

In other words, North Korea refused to recognize the status of the Qing Dynasty. They still care about the Ming Dynasty and hoped that the Ming Dynasty would become stronger as soon as possible one day. Confucian culture has been greatly respected in North Korea.

With the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty decided to send troops to aid Korea. All the civil and military officials of the court were all grateful.

King Li Jue personally raised the Chongzhen imperial edict to the altar outside the hall. He placed the imperial edict respectfully on the altar, and then led the civil and military officials of Korea to perform the ceremony of kneeling down to Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict.

The Ming Dynasty was the king and the North Korea was the minister. Although Li Yu was the king, he was still a minister of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came to read the imperial edict, Li Yu had to bring civil and military officials to kneel down to receive the imperial edict.

What I got was that when North Korea was in danger, the Ming Dynasty would rescue it.

The 80,000 army headed north, but before the army moved, the food and grass were first taken. The soldiers of Shenji Camp and the Hu Ben Army set off.

Zhu Cilang has long been familiar with leading troops to fight. This time he went north to Liaodong, which was considered a revisiting place. Every Ming soldiers distributed a certain amount of gunpowder and lead bullets. Logically speaking, this expedition should have been unprecedentedly smooth.

On the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon was also waiting for the battle. The Eight Banners cavalry lined up and waited for the arrival of the Ming army at any time.
