"Yinghe leaned on the big tree alone, shot three major bows one after another, and Ying strings were pierced. There were so many dead, and the thieves dared not force them. So they stabbed them from behind, and the iron spear holes in their chests, and they still held the bows and couldn't let go. The captives also said to each other, "If there are these few people, it is really hard to resist."

Yinghe died, and the Ming Dynasty was awarded the title of Liaodong Bo. In the end, the only one in North Korea was awarded the title of Ming.——"Records of the Lee Dynasty of Korea"

.........

Jin Yinghe hated Jin Jingrui and others for their wanton slander for their parents. Although he was a general of the Zuoying, he was actually a civil servant. Before he led the army under the order of the king, he was the governor of Xuanchuan County.

Jin Yinghe, who had experienced the "Renchen Japanese riots", and when he was young, he had followed his father to Yanjing to study, had a strong relationship with his parents' country, the Ming Dynasty. When he learned that the Jianzhou Jurchen rebellion was called the Jin Kingdom, he wrote to the government to request that the government send troops to quell the rebellion immediately.

In North Korea, most officials also believe that the Ming Dynasty has reinvented its grace to North Korea, so it is natural for North Korea to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty quell the rebellion.

However, some officials believed that the rebellion of the Jianzhou Jurchens was an internal matter of the Ming Dynasty, and that the Jianzhou women were very powerful. North Korea has been affected by natural disasters and man-made disasters for many years. In the previous period, the Ming army crossed the river without authorization and privately designated Xie'an District in northern North Korea, which prevented several channels of money and grain from entering Seoul, causing great damage to national strength. The Xie'an District officials even pretended to make their power explicit and did not take the government seriously and acted in secret as a matter of independence.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty actually asked North Korea to compensate for the losses caused to the Ming Dynasty after twenty years, which made North Korea's finances worse. Against this background, some North Korean officials became dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, the country's parents.

They admitted that the Ming Dynasty had caused great financial problems in the country due to the rescue of North Korea and the army suffered greater losses, but they believed that this was the obligation of the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader to the vassal state.

As the suzerain of the country, the Ming Dynasty’s claims were morally untenable and unreasonable!

Some North Korean officials even gloated behind the scenes of the Jianzhou rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, believing that this was God's punishment for the Ming Dynasty to claim compensation from North Korea.

The most intense official is the Western Party in North Korea, a party formed by officials who failed to compete for power with the Dabei faction.

Jin Liu, the leader of the Western Party, heard that the emperor sent envoys to ask North Korea to send troops to assist the war, entered the palace and made a comment to Guanghai Jun, asking Guanghai Jun to tell the Ming Dynasty that there was still a threat of Japanese pirates in the south of the country, so North Korea was unable to send troops to the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

"My country is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we don't send troops to help the war, the Ming Dynasty will not do anything to our country. However, the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty were our world enemy. If we knew that our country sent troops to help the Ming Dynasty, we would definitely take revenge."

Jin Liu and others' reasons are very reasonable. If North Korea does not send troops, the Ming Dynasty will at most rebuke it and will not do anything to North Korea. But the Jurchens are different. They may cross the Yalu River at any time.

Shi Guanghaijun was deeply dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty because of the establishment of Xie'an District in northern Korea and the various secret treaties signed several years ago, so he followed Jin Liu and others' opinions and wrote to Beijing that North Korea "only cut off the Yalu River to support it, and used solid security screens to prevent the Jurchen rebels from crossing the river."

If it really doesn't work, Guanghaijun also hopes to mix the Korean army into the Ming army sequence and not form a single army. However, the North Korean side can only send at most 7,000 troops.

The advantage of doing this is that if the Ming Dynasty is defeated, North Korea can also tell the Jurchens that they were forced by the Ming Dynasty and had no choice but to do it.

The first person who received a reply from North Korea was Li Weihan, the former governor of Liaodong. At that time, due to the successive defeats of Fushun and Qinghe, Li Weihan was in a panic, so he really didn't have the time to argue with North Korea.

Just when the Korean monarch and ministers thought that things would be like this, what they could not have imagined was that the eunuch Wei, who had led the Ming army to cross the river and harass northern Korea and stole the Duanchuan silver mine in North Korea. The so-called special envoy of the Ming Dynasty emperor, actually led the Ming army to cross the sea from Japan on the other side of the sea!

This unexpected change made the excuse that North Korea mentioned for threats of Japanese pirates in China very ridiculous.

The Japanese shogunate was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and the powerful southwestern vassalma Satsuma became part of the Ming Dynasty army. Where did the Japanese pirates come from when they were active in Korea?

Faced with the Ming army that was continuously transported to North Korea by warships from the Tsushima Strait and the large number of Japanese troops, after listening to the analysis of Li Hengshu, the military commander Li Hengshu, "My army is invincible", Guanghaijun opened the country's door and warmly welcomed the Ming envoy and his delegation, and asked the government to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Army to set up an office in Seoul.

After that, the Ming Dynasty sent eunuchs to Seoul, and North Korea was almost welcomed by a crossroads.

In the end, under the real threat of the Ming army and the forced force of the Ming Dynasty to re-reconstruct Yongchang's death, Guanghaijun had no choice but to agree to the four conditions proposed by the Ming envoy and formally signed the treaty.

However, during the specific negotiations with the Ming army about sending troops, Li Hengshu, the judge of the military commander, heard that the Ming Dynasty had restored the Korean benefactor Yang Hao to serve as the Liaodong Strategies, and found out that the Ming envoy Wei was actually a disciple of Yang Hao, so he wanted to use this relationship to gain some benefits for North Korea.

Li Hengshu hoped that Ming Envoy would agree that North Korea would only send 7,000 troops to help the war, which was also the number given by Guanghai Jun in his memorial to Beijing.

The North Korean side's plan was to issue 7,000 soldiers, and not actually participate in the war against the Jurchens, and only respond to the story by the Yalu River.

Ge Sanlang, the head of the Imperial Army Ju system who was responsible for military negotiations, saw the Koreans' ghost thoughts at a glance. He said angrily: "When things were not urgent, we decided to make a number of 7,000. Now the Jiannu thief is in power, and our court has already moved the world's troops to launch a large-scale campaign. Your country should follow the Governor's Office to consult with the Governor's Office and urgently dispatch tens of thousands of troops to wait on time! How can you only use 7,000? This is clearly a plan to be responsible. In the hearts of the king and ministers of the country, there are two words of morality! How dare you let our country down like this!"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

After Ge Sanlang hit a wall, Li Hengshu, Jiang Hongli and others were in a mess, but they soon met Eunuch Wei who had just returned from the Liushan Mountains and Waters near Seoul.

"My country is weak and its soldiers are really useless..."

Li Hengshu begged for national interests.

Eunuch Wei was very easy to talk. He comforted Li Hengshu and others for a long time, and then said: "We also know that the uselessness of Goryeo's soldiers and horses, but sending troops to attack the Jurchen rebels is the emperor's decree. Besides, this is not a matter of the Celestial Empire, but it is actually a strategy for your country. Your country should be willing to accept your life both in public and private. Well, we have thought about this for you. The troops and horses we are dispatched are for us to command, and we will take care of your country's soldiers and horses."

It's easy to say, but after all, Eunuch Wei also rejected the North Korean request, emphasizing that asking North Korea to send troops to help the war is not for the Ming Dynasty, but for North Korea itself.

At the same time, the pro-Ming faction in the government was angry about the Ming envoy after learning that the military officers and the Marshals' Office were still arguing with the Ming envoys.

And Guang Haijun, who had been hiding behind, also received a small note given to him by Ming Envoy, with only one sentence written on it - "There are bad people in North Korea."

Guanghai was so scared by these seven words that he didn't dare to sleep all night.

"Now that parents are in trouble, and their children are not saved, the country, the king and his subjects, how can they face each other again? "

Guanghai, who was frightened by the Ming envoy, faced with the surging comments from all officials, could only allow Li Hengshu and Jiang Hongli, who were in charge of the negotiations, to accept all the requests of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that it was impossible to stop the troops from being sent, Westerners and others were very unwilling to accept it, so they proposed that North Korea's national strength was poor and its military combat effectiveness was extremely poor. They said, "Because our country is weak and scattered, we must never follow what the Ming envoy said, and we can make weak soldiers go away. It is said that five or six thousand people are transferred to Hu land everywhere. I think the Ming Dynasty should not blame it."

The meaning is that the Korean soldiers cannot be fought. Since the Ming Dynasty insisted on sending troops from North Korea, it would add five or six thousand people to the original 7,000 people, but they could not be elite soldiers. They asked them to piece together some old and weak people to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the Ming envoy was very concerned about the specific troops sent by North Korea, and actually ordered people to test the North Korean troops. The old and weak Ming troops that the North Korean side had originally pieced together were directly dispersed.

At the same time, a Ming army with a population of about 5,000 was conducted in Zhengyangmen, Seoul. The sound of cannons was rumbling, especially in the palace.

Finally, the Marshal of the Military Control Commission had to select Wu Xinnan, the former assistant envoy of the Central Army, and Zheng Yingjing, deputy chief of the official military weapon, led 200 Pyongyang gunners;

The other general Zhe Chong Liu Taizhan led 400 horse soldiers, the other general Zhe Chong Shen Hongshou led Beijing gunners and surrendered Japanese troops to 100. The central army Yu Hou An Rune, and the other general Zhe Chong Jin Yuanfu led 800 people to the camp;

The other general Zhe Chong Huang Dezhang led the new warriors with 800 newborns, the officer Han Yinglong led the recruitment of 160 soldiers, the officer Jin Qia led the leadership of 50 soldiers to make contributions and serve the army;

The guide general He Ruiguo led 80 soldiers, Wen Xisheng, the governor of Dingzhou, and Huang Deqi, the magistrate of Jiangxi County of the Central Army, led 3,500 soldiers;

The left camp general, Jin Yinghe, the magistrate of Xuanchuan County, Li Youji, the magistrate of Yongrou County, led 3,480 troops, Li Yiyuan, the right camp general, Shunchuan County, and Li Jizong, the magistrate of Yunshan County, led 3,370 troops.

A total of more than 13,000 soldiers were all elite North Korean imperial guards, and half of them were the best shotguns.

The candidates for commanding the troops were clearly not familiar with the general's background, so they did not interfere. Finally, Jiang Hong was appointed as the marshal and Jin Jingrui was appointed as the deputy marshal.

However, what the Ming Dynasty didn't know was that Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui was the nephew of Jin Liu, the leader of the Western Party. Before leaving, Jin Liu secretly summoned his nephew, saying that this time he entered the Ming Dynasty to fight, killing slaves was small, and safety was great.

He also secretly instructed that if the Ming army was defeated, Jin Jingrui could lead his troops to surrender directly. He said that the Jurchens were enemies of the Ming Dynasty and would not want to be attacked by North Korea on their backs. Therefore, as long as the Korean soldiers could surrender, the Jurchens would be released and the soldiers did not have to worry about their lives.

Finally, Jin Liu even said something ruthless to his nephew: "The sea of ​​Guanghai is unpopular, and the country will change in the future. Anyway, I can only be the Lord of Lingyang."

Yeon-jun is Li Nie, the nephew of Kwang Haijun who is very close to the Western Party. (Author’s note: In-zu, the history of North Korea)

Jin Liu's intention was obvious, but he hoped that his nephew could bring back some troops to Seoul.

Jin Jingrui, who understands it, has since been negative about going to fight, and has repeatedly made excuses of tight food supply, hoping to slow down.

This is not an exaggeration. In fact, although North Korea has undertaken the food supply from the coalition forces, the food supply has become long since the coalition forces entered the hinterland of Jianzhou. The difficulty in transporting capacity of North Korea's husband-in-law has made the food supply of the coalition forces tight.

However, since the actual command of the North Korean army belongs to the Ming army, and a few officers including Jin Jingrui and other passive and lazy wars, the rest of the officers, such as the Zuoying general Jin Yinghe, were actively preparing for war, determined to quell the rebellion for the parents of the Celestial Empire and eliminate a century-old feud for North Korea, so Jin Jingrui's negativity could not change the overall situation.

Therefore, under the instruction of Jin Jingrui, the negative officers began to spread rumors about unfavorable wars in the army, saying why the Koreans should fight for the Ming Dynasty on the land of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, even if the souls died in battle, they would not be able to return to their hometown.

Sure enough, this strategy worked.

Unlike the generals, the Korean soldiers had very low political awareness. They did not care about their parents' country or their re-creation. They only knew that they left their hometowns and came to a bitter and cold place to fight for others. Therefore, if someone incited them, coupled with the hardships of marching and food supply for days, the soldiers naturally started to be deserters.

The situation of the North Korean army was naturally seen by the Ming army. Two days ago, at the base camp combat meeting on the bank of the Hunjiang River, Eunuch Wei personally ordered Jiang Hongli and Jin Jingrui to lead their troops to meet with Liu Jing's troops.

Jiang Hongli was confused about this military order, but Ming Zhi was determined and could not allow him to discuss it, so he could only be ordered to implement it.

Now that he heard what Jin Jingrui said about "killing someone with a knife", Jiang Hongli couldn't help but feel a little alert. But what Jin Yinghe said made him feel a little ashamed.

Just as he was about to scold Jin Jingrui, the troops in front had abnormal movements. The guide hurriedly reported that he had discovered the Jurchen brigade of cavalry in front of him.

"Have the Jurchens attacked me?" Jin Jingrui asked immediately.

He Ruiguo said that the Jurchen cavalry did not attack them, and sent an envoy to come over to see the Marshal.

Jiang Hongli ordered the Jurchen envoy to bring him, and a Jurchen officer in his thirties came. After seeing Jiang Hongli, he said something.

Jiang Hongli could understand what the Jurchen official army said, because when he was a teenager, he had gone to Jianzhou to do business with the Jurchen people, and he had Jurchen soldiers under his command, so he was familiar with the Jurchen words.

Jin Yinghe didn't understand the Jurchens. Seeing that the Marshal's face was very serious after hearing what the Jurchens said, he asked anxiously: "Marrior, what did Jianzhou slave say?"

Jiang Hongli said: "This person is a subordinate of Jurchen leader Nurhaci. He said that the Eight Banners Army of Jurchen was besieging Liu's troops in Abudaligang and asked us not to go to support us, otherwise we would be defeated."

"What? Did Jianzhou slaves surrounded General Liu!" Jin Yinghe was shocked.

Jin Jingrui also made a sudden surprise. The news they had learned from the Ming army was that the main force of the Jianzhou army was dealing with the other two groups of troops of the Ming army, and there was no main force of the Jianzhou army here. Now that the Jianzhou army suddenly surrounded Liu Yu's troops, does it mean that the rest of the Ming army was defeated?
