At the root of the Liaodong Peninsula, close to the Bohai Bay, there is a medium-sized castle. It was originally the Gaizhou Acropolis of the Ming Dynasty. After it fell into the hands of Hou Jin, the word "Wei" was removed, and it was called Gaizhou City.

.

Since the process of Hou Jin's capture of Liaodong was extremely murderous, and about two to three million Han people fled into Shanhaiguan or Fanhai to Shandong, the population in Hou Jin's territory decreased sharply, and many areas that were originally prosperous and prosperous also

Gradually it became sparsely populated and deserted.

The Gaizhou area is no exception. Except for the somewhat popular area around Gaizhou City, there are almost no people in other places. The Qianhusuo and Baihubu forts that were originally under the jurisdiction of Gaizhou Guards have gradually become deserted and become empty.

If anyone breaks into the ruined city and fortress, they will definitely feel like they are in the end of the world.

However, starting from April of the seventh year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, the deserted Gaizhou area suddenly became popular. People from all over the Qing Dynasty seemed to be crazy, traveling day and night, non-stop to Gaizhou!

The troops with yellow flags led by Haoghao Ama arrived first, and the troops with red flags led by Yueleue Ama arrived later, followed by Doama Dorgon, Jiama Azi.

Ge, the officers and soldiers of the Two Hundred Banners led by the three brothers Xiaoduo Amadoduo came from North Korea, followed by Min Amma's men and horses with the Blue Banner coming from the distant Songhua River, and then came from the Xingkai Lake.

The soldiers and horses of Zhenglan Banner were led by Mang Gurtai Mang Ama, who was not very bright-minded.

On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the seventh year of Chongde, Emperor Funing of the Qing Dynasty, Queen Mother Taisong, and Daishan, one of the Eight Armas, also drove to Gaizhou City with troops from Zhenghuang Banner and Zhenghong Banner.

The Gaizhou City area, which was originally deserted, was now in great shape. A hundred thousand troops gathered together, and the eight great armies gathered together. It really became the military and political center of the Qing Dynasty.

But Funing, Taisong, and Daishan were not the last to arrive.

Because on June 16, the seventh year of Chongde, the east gate of Gaizhou City opened wide early in the morning, and then came the brightly-armored Eight Banners cavalry cavalry.

The camp came over and lined up on both sides of the official road in the east of Gaizhou City. It was really majestic with flags and streamers fluttering and embroidered ribbons fluttering!

Stationed outside the east gate of Gaizhou City are the troops of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army and the Zhenghuang Banner Korean Army. Although they are not the first-class Manchu bannermen in the Qing Dynasty, nor are they the second-class Mongolian bannermen. But because they are far away from Taisong

, Funing's mother and son were relatively close, and they gradually became Funing and Taisong's confidants. Although their status was not as good as that of first-class Manchu and second-class Meng, they were more trusted by the Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, and the news was also

It's very informed.

Now some idle Han troops and North Korean officers and soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner saw the Eight Banners Guards arrayed outside Gaizhou City from a distance, and began to talk to each other.

"Hey, the Eight Banners Guards have been dispatched. Which Emperor Ama is coming?"

"Where is the Emperor's Arma? Aren't all eight of the Emperor's Armas here?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe the Emperor has a new Ama?"

"Be careful, be careful. Who doesn't know that the emperor already thinks that Amma is too much!"

"Is that many? Not many, only nine."

"Nine is not many! If the higher-ups listen to this, there will be no good consequences!"

"Well, well, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about who is here today? Does anyone know?"

"I know that the Japanese and Spanish who are here today are here to help our Qing Dynasty!"

"It turns out it's them! No wonder the Eight Banners Guards have been dispatched. It seems that the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Eight Emperors are going to personally welcome the distinguished guests from the East and West."

It turns out that the Spanish Ambassador de Salamanca who arrived in Gaizhou today, the Japanese lord of Gyeongju Domain, Hoko Masayuki, and the 800 Japanese cavalry led by Hoko Masayuki were the vanguard of the 20,000 Japanese reinforcements of the 800 cavalry.

I have to say that the Japanese devils really wanted to help the Qing Dynasty fight against the Ming Dynasty this time. It would be impossible not to help them!

Although the Ming Dynasty is still a continental empire, it is obvious to all that it has taken great steps towards the sea. Its determination to invest in the navy is even more shocking to the Japanese. Japan only built a "Six-Six Fleet". The Ming Dynasty made three "Six-Six Fleets"

Sixth Fleet"!

Moreover, Ming Dynasty's "Six-Six Fleet" is more powerful than Japan's "Six-Six Fleet"!

The largest warship in the Ming Dynasty's "Six-Six Fleet" had a displacement of 1,000 tons and carried 54 guns. However, the largest warship in Japan's "Six-Six Fleet" had a displacement of only 700 tons and carried only 28 guns.

In addition, the training level of Ming Dynasty's "Six-Six Fleet" is also higher than that of Japan's "Six-Six Fleet"!

Therefore, once the Ming Dynasty annexed the Qing Dynasty and regained the entire territory of Korea, Japan's crisis would come. The Korean Strait, which is only 400 miles wide, could not stop the Ming Dynasty's invading army at all!

Therefore, Japan's Tokugawa shogunate and the lower vassals have long reached a consensus to assist the Qing Dynasty, which is to defend Japan!

As for the lord of Gyeongju's 500,000 stone, Hoko Masagi, helping the Qing Dynasty fight against the Ming Dynasty was helping him keep the 500,000 stone seal. This is why he immediately mobilized 8,000 troops as soon as he returned to Gyeongju Domain.

, together with the 12,000 troops mobilized by Matsudaira Nobutsuna, they marched day and night to Gaizhou. Because Gaizhou is a bit far from Gyeongju Domain, the two places are more than 1,800 miles apart, and it would take thirty or forty days to travel at a normal marching speed.

End. So Masayuki Hoshina simply handed over his main force to Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and he and Sony led 800 horseback samurai to go ahead. They walked hundreds of miles a day for 18 days, and finally arrived at Gaizhou City.

But just as he was about to arrive, Masayuki Hoshina encountered a headache. It really gave him a headache!

"Nani? You actually have eight emperors in the Qing Dynasty? And they all brought their troops to Gaizhou." After Masayuki Hoshina learned this amazing news from Sony, his head hurt a little.

The reason that gave Hoshina a headache was the issue of diplomatic etiquette between Japan and Qing Dynasty. According to the agreement between Japan and Qing Dynasty when they formed an alliance, the two countries are siblings. Well, not brothers, but siblings. Because the emperor of Japan is now a woman,

She is the cousin of Tokugawa Iemitsu, named Emperor Meisho. She is only 18 years old this year, a few years older than Funing, so she is the elder sister, and Funing is of course the younger brother.

And Funing's Armas are equivalent to the uncles of Emperor Meisho, and can also be compared to the Supreme Emperor of Japan!

In addition, according to the agreement reached by the two sides, when officials from both sides visit the other side's land, the guests must accompany the officiant, which means they must salute according to the other side's rules. Otherwise, why would Sony, a bachelor, pay homage to General Tokugawa Iemitsu?

So Masayuki Hoshina is now in trouble. He has to kowtow to a Qing emperor, a Qing empress dowager, and eight Qing emperors. Is it possible that this will not hurt?

Not to mention that Masayuki Hoshina had a headache, Sony himself had a headache, and even the young emperor Funing and the empress dowager Taisong had a headache.

The eight emperors got together, and they all had soldiers! If it weren't for Zhu Youjian, these eight emperors would definitely fight!

Even with the existence of Zhu Youjian, the "public enemy of the Emperor's Arma", when the eight Emperor's Arma get together, they are still full of gunpowder. Even now, when they are welcoming guests together outside Gaizhou City, they have not forgotten to quarrel.

.

"Now the Qing Dynasty is fighting a last-ditch battle and must fight! So none of the eight of us can think about preserving our strength. We must show the responsibilities of the Qing Emperor. We are all the Emperor's Amma. We are indistinguishable from each other. Now it is even more important.

We should all be in the same boat!"

The person who is speaking is Daishan Daiama. After the Battle of Luoma River, his red flag has been recuperating in the heart of the Qing Dynasty like Taisong and Funing's yellow flag. Now he is singing a high-profile song, trying to pull

Together with the other seven emperors, they fought against Zhu Youjian.

Among the eight amamas, the one who spoke the least taboo was Mang Gurtai, a "brainless" man. He immediately took over the topic and said: "Big Beile, what you said is wrong. How can we, the eight amamas, not tell each other apart?"
