In early April, after some investigation, the Qing army finally discovered the Ming army building fortresses in Lushun.

When the news reached Chenyang, Daishan and Duoduo were both shocked and unconsciously remembered Dongjiang Town.

If a Ming army was allowed to take root in Liaodong, the entire outer space would not be peaceful.

Outside the pass was the place where the dragons in Manchuria were rising, and they were also the old nest they snatched. The Qing Dynasty prohibited the Han people from going out of Shanhaiguan to go outside the pass because they were afraid that the Han people would occupy their old nests and make them lose their way out.

As cultural dwarfs, the Qing Dynasty was not confident in ruling China. They always felt that one day they would be driven out of the Central Plains, so they kept the land outside the pass so that if they could not stay in the Central Plains, there would be a place where they could continue to survive and continue.

The existence of Dongjiang Town made the Qing Dynasty extremely passive in strategic direction and could only trap Liaozhong and almost couldn't hold on. Therefore, Daishan and Duoduo would never, and tolerated the Ming army to occupy Lushun.

Duoduo immediately led the army and rushed to Lushun, and killed at Jinzhou Guard on the tenth day of April.

After Zhao Ming received the news, he withdrew his personnel to the mountain island, the side island, and the Xiaolongshan Island, leaving only the Lushun Fort, which had already begun to take shape.

The Ming army relied on the fortress as its support. In the mouth of Lushun, warships and artillery were also used to cover the fortress. Duoduo attacked for several days and was attacked by Ming ships, losing more than 1,600 people. Then he gave up the attack and retreated to the Jinzhou Guard.

Duoduo ordered the Qing army to build a city here, confront the Ming army, waiting for the Ming army to run out of food.

In late April, Xia Wanchun secretly went to North Korea to visit North Korea's Ming Dynasty minister Lin Qingye. He introduced him to meet North Korea's King Lee Seung and reached a secret discussion.

As early as last year, Hong Chengchou blocked the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, causing the maritime smuggling trade in Zhejiang to suffer a heavy blow. Zhao Ming's source of wealth was cut off and his way to obtain military funds was cut off. He sent Cheng Bi to North Korea and through North Korea, he purchased leather, iron tools, and horses.

Although North Korea is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea not only has no feelings for the Qing Dynasty, but instead contempts the Qing Dynasty.

North Korea was completely different at this time than later. Of course, this difference was largely due to the decline of Han culture.

In the past, North Korea recognized Han culture and took pride in being a dog of the Ming Dynasty. Later, they did not agree with it and turned to someone else's dog.

In the Ming Dynasty, since its founding, Korea pursued a highly friendly and intellectual policy of "majority" to the Ming Dynasty, and always used courtesy to make things clear.

Among the many vassals of the Ming Dynasty, Korea's respect and yearning for the Ming Dynasty was definitely the first priority, and it can be said that it is the same as the biological son.

The Ming Dynasty once fought with the rebellious son next door for the sake of North Korea's own son, and taught the rebellious son a lesson and made a breakthrough for North Korea.

After the Japanese riot in the Renchen period, North Korea was grateful for the reinvention of the Ming Dynasty and was even closer to the Ming Dynasty.

After the rise of Jiannu, as the son of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea also thought of working for its parents, but the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army was as stable as ever.

Facing the Japanese troops, they were beaten to the point of being beaten, ran across the Yalu River, hid in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and were denied by the Japanese pirates, and did not dare to fight with the Japanese pirates, and shamelessly claimed that "if you die, you will die in your parents' country!"

When fighting Jiannu, North Korea also made efforts. In the Battle of Sarhu, more than 14,000 people were sent. As the Ming army went on an expedition, it was easily defeated by Jiannu. More than 14,000 people were wiped out, and even the Marshal Jiang Hongli was captured.

The country is a small country and the people of North Korea are still poor, and the north is full of mountains. For generations, the Central Plains dynasty have looked down on this cold and barren land. Only the Japanese, which was tortured by earthquakes next door, regarded it as a treasure.

Although North Korea was determined to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, it did not have the strength, and there was no 20,000 troops across the country. It was not nearly half of the Qing Dynasty killed by the Qing Dynasty in the war, and North Korea was immediately panicked.

At this time, the King of Korea saw that he had kicked the ironclad. He was afraid of revenge by the Qing Dynasty and felt that North Korea could not defeat Jiannu anyway, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Nurhaci, expressing his willingness to surrender.

There is nothing I can do about this, I can't do it, and I have no soldiers at my hands.

North Korea Wang Guanghaijun was probably forced to do this, in order to protect North Korea, but the North Koreans at this time remembered much more gratitude than those who later.

After Nurhaci claimed to be Khan, although he defeated Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty was still a giant, and the diplomatic environment of the Later Jin Dynasty was still very bad. Many of the Mongols and Jurchen tribes around were still related to the Ming Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea secretly surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci naturally wanted to promote it.

Guang Haijun secretly wrote a letter to surrender, mainly because he wanted to stabilize the Later Jin and let the Later Jin not fight against North Korea, but the straight Koreans stopped doing it and became angry.

Before the Ming Dynasty issued an order to ask what happened to me and how I got together with Nurhaci, the Koreans themselves deposed Guanghaijun who wrote the letter.

The country of heaven and the country of parents, the Japanese turmoil in the Renchen period, how can the country of parents save you? Now that your parents are in trouble, you not only don’t help, but also help Jiannu. Is it still a human being?

In this way, the Koreans overthrew Kwang Haijun and replaced him with Ayong Jun Lie, who was known in history as "Inzu Anyway".

Although North Korea's heart was towards the Ming Dynasty, its strength was limited after all. Li Gui continued to implement the pro-Ming Dynasty national policy and immediately attracted attacks from Jiannu.

"Dingmao chaotic" and "Bingzi chaotic" The Qing Dynasty attacked North Korea twice, and Li Yu was very dissatisfied, but his thin arms and legs were eventually captured by the Qing Dynasty and had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

After the Qing army invaded twice, North Korea almost destroyed its country, which made the Koreans finally realize, "Although the enemy is ugly, I have more than enough to control me!"

After realizing this, North Korea no longer continued to oppose the Qing Dynasty on its own, but instead made plans secretly. While writing letters to the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the country of their parents would understand that North Korea could not defeat the Jiannu and could not argue with the Qing Dynasty, but while thinking about accumulating strength.

Unfortunately, North Korea is really poor and has no savings in strength, but the news that Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself came to North Korea.

North Korea immediately cried, and the whole country wore mourning for a hundred days. When North Korea King Lee Nai heard the news that the emperor had hanged himself, he said bluntly, "The sky collapsed and the earth collapsed!"

Although North Korea was a vassal of the Qing Dynasty at this time, it had contacted Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming. It was also preparing to contact Japan and borrow troops from Tokugawa's family to attack the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Ming had also had a period of contact with North Korea. North Korea King Lee Seung once said that at the right time, North Korea was willing to return to the point of enlightenment, but was stopped by Zhao Ming and told North Korea not to be impulsive.

With the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, like an Oriental Italy, if it is really true, it will definitely collapse once it is rushed and the Ming army will rescue it. It is better to continue to be in the Qing camp for the time being, take advantage of the status of the Qing Dynasty vassals, and buy some supplies for the Ming army from the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia.

When the Qing Dynasty relied on Shanxi merchants, Zhao Ming relied on North Korea now.

Zhao Ming obtained a large amount of supplies in Lianghuai, some of which Zhao Ming did not need, so he exchanged them for some livestock and food through North Korea.

Xia Wanchun brought five ships of food back from North Korea, but Duoduo in Jinzhou was already close to food. In desperation, Duoduo could only leave three thousand cavalry to monitor the Ming army on the front line of Jinzhou. He led his army back to Shenyang for food, and soon retreated back to the pass.

Zhao Ming's army was away for a long time. After May, the robbery of food was consumed so much that it needed to transport grain from the south. Therefore, he also led a fleet and returned to Zhoushan through Shandong, ending the six-year expedition from October last year to May of the third year of Longwu.
