After capturing the city of Shenyang, it was already the middle of winter, and the Ming army naturally had to spend the winter in the city.

During this period, the Ming army strictly implemented the policy of shaving braids, which led to a large number of banner people rebelling.

As the Tartars did in history, they were merciless to the rebels of the Ming army, and there was no mercy for killing.

In Shenyang alone, more than 5,000 bannermen who did not want to shave their braids were killed.

Bloody can always be exchanged for obedience, but also for some renegade.

The Ming army appointed a group of Tartars as supervisors, and these Tartars worked very hard, not only quickly shaving the back of the Tartars in the whole Shenyang city, but also took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the surrounding counties, Niulu, and villages to implement the policy, which the Ming army did not expect.

To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of renegades in any nation, and under absolute power, there is only obedience.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and every day that passed, the Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong was consolidated.

As long as the spring of the next year is opened, the Ming army will officially set up a guard post and a yamen here, and a large number of Han people will move here under the temptation of free enclosures, and I believe that it will not be long before there will be no difference between this and the Central Plains.

However, this does not mean that the military operations of the Ming army can end.

Don't forget, Amin still has a large army in Korea.

There were originally 10,000 elite and 20,000 soldiers, and later it was said that Dolgon's 3,000 cavalry also went, and there were tens of thousands of bannermen who also secretly crossed the border.

It is said that since Amin brought 10,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 soldiers into the court, he can choke the Li dynasty enough.

At present, his army has fallen into Yizhou, Dingzhou and other places, and he has become the lord of these territories.

Unlike in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Amin led troops into Korea, at that time they just plundered and intimidated North Korea, but now Amin just wants to be the king of North Korea, so he will never leave after that.

Of course, after the fall of Shenyang, he will not withdraw from North Korea now, and he plans to use this place as a base to continue to fight against the Ming court, and even plan to restore the country.

With so many people in the DPRK, Amin has no choice but to ask for money and food? Naturally, there is no doubt that this money and grain will be distributed to the ordinary North Korean people.

Amin's virtue has long been recorded in history, he is greedy and fierce, in history he did the slaughter of the city in the Central Plains, and was also punished by Huang Taiji.

In North Korea, he naturally let go of his hands and feet, and it was not enough to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the areas he occupied, and he robbed at every turn, grabbed money, grain, and women, and was so unhappy.

But the North Korean soldiers, to be honest, are really vulnerable, and they are powerless to repel Amin at all.

No, the Li dynasty has written to the Ming court five times in a row, asking the Ming to send troops to exterminate Amin as a vassal state, just like when this powerful big brother sent troops to help them teach the Wa State a lesson.

However, before the Ming Dynasty was still too busy to protect himself, how could he have the spare strength to help them?

I have to say that North Korea at that time was very loyal to the big brother of Daming.

Historically, before Huang Taiji became emperor, he asked Korea to "persuade", that is, to recognize his identity as the suzerain. At this time, although the Ming State had declined, and the "Great Qing" was extremely strong, North Korea still categorically refused.

At that time, more than 100 North Korean students jointly wrote a letter: At the beginning of the minister's fall to the ground, I only heard that there was a great tomorrow... Our country has always been known for its courtesy and righteousness, called Little China, and the saints inherit each other, and the big thing is one heart... Today is to serve the Hulu, steal the only remaining, and extend the sundial carving, which is in the ancestors, in the world, and in the future generations!

It can be seen that the status of the Ming Dynasty in the minds of Korean scholars.

It's just that in history, the Joseon Lee dynasty waited until it died and did not wait for the Ming army to help, and in the end it could only be forced to recognize the suzerainty status of the Tartars after the Bingzi rebellion, and pay a large amount of tribute every year, and they could only gnaw on the stick.

They miss the good days with the "big brother" of Daming, not only did they pay less tribute, but also every time the envoy went to Daming, he could get a large number of rewards, sometimes even more than the tribute.

What's more, when the Japanese invaded, Big Brother came out to help without saying a word, how reliable it was.

Therefore, even if the Central Plains was occupied by the Tartars in history, North Korea still used the Ming Dynasty's ritual system and era name.

Fortunately, on this plane, the situation is completely different.

Da Ming has become strong again.

The hegemon of East Asia, and even Asia, is still the Ming Dynasty.

The Li dynasty is also extremely concerned about the changes in the situation in the Central Plains in recent years, knowing that in recent years, the Ming Kingdom has produced an immortal talent called "Qin Shuhuai".

Many Korean scholars said that this was the evidence that the Celestial Empire had the blessing of God.

The Ming Dynasty was strong, and the Li Dynasty's determination to fight against the Tatars was naturally stronger. Since Amin's invasion, the Korean king Yi Liang has never intended to negotiate peace, and has repeatedly stated that even if the Joseon fights to the last man, he will never surrender to Hulu.

Of course, he didn't fight - what else could he fight if he couldn't fight at all? Of course, he would wait for Big Brother to clean up Liaodong and then come to help him.

No, the Ming army had just occupied Shenyang for two months, and in February of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Lee dynasty of Korea sent envoys to cross the blockade of Amin's army and come to Shenyang.

The envoy brought a generous gift from the king of Joseon, such as Goryeo ginseng, deer antler and gold, first expressed his congratulations to the Ming army on recovering Liaodong, and then solemnly affirmed that Korea would continue to serve the Ming Dynasty as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the Li Dynasty would always remember that the Ming Dynasty sent troops several times to help repel the reinvention of the Japanese Invaders.

These words are just clichés for Meng Wei and others. These subordinate states, when they come, I will probably say this.

However, Qin Shuhuai listened to it with relish.

Ouch hey, the stick is okay now, is it so modest?

Do you know that your descendants have already zoned the universe to the confines of your Great Korea?

When the envoy saw Qin Shuhuai touching his chin, smiling, and listening to it with taste, he couldn't help but pat himself a little more.

and immediately shifted the focus of sycophants from Da Ming to Qin Shuhuai.

"The minister heard that the great man of Anguo is the best in the world, and he is the best man in the world, and he is the unparalleled national soldier. The Guogong stood up when the kingdom was in danger, and the Western Expedition to the Demon Sect, the Zhongping Thieves and Rebellion, and the Northern Expedition to the Tartars, were invincible and invincible, and they turned the tide with force! And the great talent of the Guogong is not only martial arts? The country is now rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and this merit depends only on the virtue of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the policy of the country's security and security! The birth of the Guogong is really the luck of the people in this troubled world, and it is also the luck of all the people of our Korea!"

This sycophant is very lethal, and Qin Shuhuai has goosebumps when he hears it.

Even Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Lai San'er and others twisted their heads to the side, and almost laughed on the spot.

Sycophants are sycophants, and you don't need to be so red, right?

Qin Shuhuai couldn't stand it anymore, waved his hand, and said, "You must have other reasons for coming to Shenyang this time, right?"

As soon as he said this, the Korean envoy immediately burst into tears.

The speed of this emotional change made Qin Shuhuai breathtaking.

"Grandpa Qiyuguo, I have been serving the Celestial Empire for a long time, and I am unswerving, but that Tartar ......"

In short, it probably means that the Tartars are not human, they are too ruthless, and they can't beat them, so I want to ask Qin Shuhuai to send troops to fight Amin.

It stands to reason that they have to go to Chongzhen for this matter first, and then Chongzhen will send it to the cabinet for deliberation, and the cabinet will then find the military department and discuss it layer by layer.

However, Li Liang is really anxious now, he is afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be late to send troops, and his national capital will be broken by Amin soon, and he will have to hide in the mountains again.

So he sent envoys to the Forbidden City on the one hand, and at the same time came to Qin Shuhuai at the same time.

It's not that you want to get past Chongzhen, but you want to have a good relationship with Qin Shuhuai first, and then when Chongzhen's holy decree comes down, Qin Shuhuai can send troops immediately, right?

Otherwise, if this grandfather of the country drags on for a few months, then the holy decree will not be easy to make—the Li family can be clear about the current situation in the Central Plains!

Speaking of dealing with Amin, even if the North Korean envoy does not come, Qin Shuhuai is already preparing.

It's not just about cutting the grass and eliminating the hidden dangers, it's also about the main task.

If the DPRK is occupied by Amin, how can it come to the DPRK?

As early as more than a month ago, he played Chongzhen on the matter of planning to attack the Amin Department of North Korea, and Chongzhen's edict had also been issued, just four words: cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

The North Korean envoy had luck at this time.

Qin Shuhuai asked him, "Then who, do you hate Tartar?"

The envoy gritted his teeth and replied, "Hate!

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "Okay, half a month later, my army will enter the court to exterminate the Tartars, and then you will set off with the army." Bengong, let you see with your own eyes how Amin died!"

The North Korean envoy was so surprised and delighted that he almost didn't jump up!

Half a month! The army of the kingdom will set off in half a month!

Moreover, I can see with my own eyes how the army of the Kingdom of God exterminated the damned Tartar and killed the Demon King of Amin!

In this way, wouldn't he inevitably leave his name in the history of North Korea?

In March of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Northern Expeditionary Army sent out about 30,000 elite soldiers, with Li Dingguo as the commander and Zhang Xiao as the deputy commander, and under the guidance of dozens of Koreans, they crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea to encircle and suppress the Amin Department.

In April, as the 70,000 guards who came out of the pass were already in place, Qin Shuhuai led the remaining Northern Expedition army and returned to the dynasty with victory.

At the same time, the army also escorted Dai Shan, Duoduo, Mang Gurtai and many other Later Jin ministers and hundreds of Aixin Jueluo people back to Beijing, waiting for Chongzhen to deal with it.

This was an out-and-out victory, and the significance of this victory was extremely far-reaching, and it marked the complete pacification of the disaster that had lasted for decades in the establishment of the state in eastern Liaodong.

Not only that, with the pacification of Liaodong, the grasslands in the north have also been peaceful since then. Most of the tribes on the grassland can't wait to send envoys to express their voipulation to the Ming Dynasty.

There are also Western Regions, where a large number of small countries sent various envoys to call them tribute, and invited the Ming Dynasty to garrison the army.

This vast empire, for the foreseeable period of time, will no longer have any external troubles.

Now Chongzhen's only annoyance is that there are so many subordinates in the territory at once, and they all very kindly invite Daming to go to the local guard to provide "protection", so that he doesn't know how to transfer troops appropriately.

Aren't the most capable troops of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of Qin Shuhuai?

The troops that can fight are all near the Beijing Division.

And again?

Tsk tsk, those guards are also scaring people, and Chongzhen thinks they are embarrassed when they go out.

Originally, I wanted to let Qin Shuhuai train the whole country's military equipment next, but now it seems that it is too late.

If there is land to occupy, then it must be occupied immediately! For example, Liaodong, can you drag it?

Fortunately, now that the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, even if some guards pass by, the Mongols, the people of the Western Regions, and the Jurchens dare not make a mistake.

It's a blissful annoyance to think about.

Chongzhen sleeps less these days, but the quality of sleep has greatly improved.

Every day, I wake up with a hundred times more energy, and I have a smile on my face from time to time.

However, with the return of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Chongzhen usually asked Wang Dehua the most where Qin Shuhuai was.

Qin Shuhuai's army came back many days later than expected.

The reason?

It is because it has "encountered" the "resistance" of millions of people.

After the army arrived in Jinzhou, almost everywhere it went, it would be greeted by a sea of people.

The people treat the king, and you are not in a hurry to go to war, so you have to show it, right?

Drinking wine into the city is indispensable.

First of all, the eldest elder in the city comes to respect you, and you have to do it.

Then, it was the representatives of the squires in the city who came to salute, and people were kind enough to drink it?

In the end, a group of ordinary people surrounded you, beating gongs and drums for you, and performing all kinds of local folk tricks, can you not watch it?

It doesn't matter if he Qin Shuhuai doesn't want to see it, he has to ask the soldiers below if they agree?

Risking their lives to fight such a big victory, who doesn't want to be happy?

What's more, they deserve such treatment.

The people along the way sincerely and heartily want to thank the officials and soldiers and this god-like grandfather.

You know, five years ago, they were living in a double fear of exorbitant taxes and the occasional invasion of the Tartars and Mongols.

But now, everything is different.

Now they don't have to worry about food or clothing, but they can live a good life if they are diligent and fast, and even the last heart disease, Tartar, has been solved by the official army.

Go to a random child on the street and ask, what time is this?

He may not be able to tell you how many years it is Chongzhen, but he will definitely say that it is a good time.

Everyone believes that the prosperous era has come.

The hard-working Chinese people have never had high requirements for life.

Eat better, dress better, and have fewer natural and man-made disasters, that is the prosperous age.
