Zhao Zamao sent troops to Korea, and the news that the King of Korea returned to the Ming Dynasty was spread to Beijing, which shocked the Qing court.

This is not only because after North Korea returns to the Ming Dynasty, it will threaten the Qing Dynasty's old nest Shengjing, which will make the Qing Dynasty attacked from both sides, but also because North Korea actually has strong political significance for the Qing Dynasty.

As a barbarian, the Qing Dynasty wanted to compete with the Ming Dynasty for the world, steal Chinese artifacts, and attempt to be orthodox Central Plains. It can be said that it was injustice.

This made the Qing Dynasty feel uneasy and not at ease enough, and wanted to change the current situation of his foreign king and being unacceptable to people.

Therefore, as China's first vassal state, North Korea recognized the Qing Dynasty as its sect leader, which was equivalent to recognizing the orthodox status of the Qing Dynasty and playing a leading role in politics. The surrounding areas would recognize the Qing Dynasty as its orthodox Central Plains. The people within saw that many vassals recognized it, and they would gradually recognize the Qing Dynasty.

When Dorgon learned that Zhao Ming had taken down Seoul, the monarch and ministers of Korea returned to the Ming Dynasty, he was furious and scolded Hong Chengchou and others, and ordered Hong Chengchou to organize troops and recover North Korea.

To be fair, after the Qing Dynasty called it a vassal state, it was actually quite good to North Korea, and it could even be said to be heart-to-heart.

When the King of Korea, Li Jue, launched a coup and deposed Guanghaijun, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji was furious and sent troops to attack North Korea and surrounded Li Jue in the southern Hanshan City. The Qing army was fully capable of completely destroying North Korea, but Huang Taiji just asked Li Jue to surrender in person and sent his son as a host.

Since then, North Korea was a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty did not ask North Korea to pay taxes, and at most it paid a few ginseng trees every year. In turn, it also gave North Korea a bunch of gifts. In addition, North Korea's internal ministers conspired to rebel against the Qing Dynasty many times, and the Qing Dynasty only arrested the participants, and many people also handed them over to North Korea for their own handling. It can be said that they love North Korea very much and are very tolerant.

However, the North Koreans' Qing Dynasty's show of kindness was completely gone. Just because the Qing Dynasty was a barbarian, they ignored the Qing Dynasty's intentions and always missed the tall, rich and handsome Ming Dynasty in their hearts, which made the Qing Dynasty completely angry, like a bloody romance drama.

This time, neither Dorgon nor the Qing court could tolerate the capriciousness of North Korea and was determined to completely disappear from the world and completely destroy this regime with two hearts and ungrateful thoughts.

Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the northwest of Guanzhong has deteriorated ecology and barren land. The threat from northern China has begun to move to the northeast.

In the past, the entrances of northern ethnic minorities were mostly from Hetao, Yanmen, Yunzhong and other places, but since the Tang Dynasty, they began to move from the east to rush into the Hebei Plain.

The Jin Kingdom rose from the northeast and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. The Mongolian first defeated the Jin Kingdom and occupied the Northeast, and then destroyed the Jin Dynasty in multiple ways. The Qing Dynasty also rose from the northeast and invaded the pass.

One of the reasons for this is that the northwest and Guanzhong are barren, and the northern nomads invaded from the northwest, and the materials and resources in the places where they pass are not enough to support the nomads to continue to move south. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, nomads in the northwest direction have not been the main threat to China.

The direction of the northeast is different. From the northeast to the south, you can obtain sufficient resources along the way, allowing the northern ethnic groups to continue to move south.

Therefore, after Mongolia declined, the focus of the defense of the Ming Dynasty moved to the northeast.

Now the Ming army controls North Korea, and the outside of the pass is empty. If the Qing army does not solve North Korea, it will definitely be threatened outside the pass. Then the Ming army can turn it into a springboard outside the pass and continue to move south.

Therefore, strategically speaking, the Qing Dynasty absolutely did not allow a powerful regime to grow in the northeast direction.

After Hong Chengchou took the responsibility, he immediately began to dispatch troops and sent Qing troops outside Hebei, Shandong, and other places outside the pass to the pass, preparing to attack North Korea.

Shengjing City.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, so many troops have been assembled in and outside Shengjing City for the first time.

In the southern suburbs of the city, there are military camps stretching out. Looking into the eyes, they are all military tents like graves, countless. The dense Qing army was walking through the camp, with tens of thousands of people.

A large flag was erected in the military camp, under which was the Qing army commander's tent. Hong Chengchou was discussing military information with a group of senior generals from the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of May and early June, summer began to begin in the south, but the weather was still cool outside the customs. Hong Chengchou was wearing a bowl cap, a black horseshoe-sleeved official robe, and a large string of beads on his chest, sitting in the commanding position.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the generals on both sides, including Han Dai, the Manchu general who was defeated by Zhao Ming in Fujian, Ma Guanghui, Yang Chengzu, Li Benshen and others, almost all Qing army generals who suffered losses under Zhao Ming, and the entire Avengers.

Many of these people were originally in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, waiting to be questioned, but the Manchu generals were in decline, and Dorgon launched a large-scale expansion of the Green Camp troops, requiring some hard-core traitors to lead the army. Hong Chengchou caught many people to obey the orders.

"Everyone, the pirates have to guard Su Songchang, so they will definitely not be able to withdraw troops to reinforce North Korea. According to detailed investigations, there are only about 16,000 pirates in North Korea, most of which are naval troops." Hong Chengchou pretended to be relaxed: "The Korean army is vulnerable and not worth mentioning, so what we have to deal with is only the pirates' five or six thousand land divisions. Now our governor has gathered elite troops from three places, totaling more than 30,000, including a 3,000 elite musketeers in the Zhenglan Banner of the Han army. With five times the pirates' soldiers, they will definitely sweep North Korea and defeat the pirates!"

This time, Zhao Ming occupied North Korea and mobilized almost all the Qing army in the north.

In addition to the 30,000 troops that Hong Chengchou gathered in Shengjing, the garrisons in Lushun and Dengzhou still remained unmoved, for fear that Zhao Mingsheng would attack the east and west. When the Qing army attacked North Korea and could not return to support, Zhao Ming used the navy's maneuverability at sea to attack Shandong and other places.

Most of the Qing generals had a grudge against Zhao Ming, and after hearing Hong Chengchou's words, they were all cheered up.

Ma Guanghui strode to the middle of the tent, holding his fists proudly, "Mr. Zhongtang, I am willing to ask for the position of pioneer, and drive the army forward, and find Zhao Zamao to avenge his previous shame!"

Hong Chengchou looked at Ma Guanghui. This man fought Zhao Ming many times in eastern Zhejiang. Although he lost more than he won and lost many Qing troops, he had a lot of experience. Moreover, the Manchus' own princes also lost their troops and generals, and they could not beat Zhao Ming.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "The pirates only used 16,000 people to mobilize my great affection for several provinces, and more than 100,000 troops did not dare to go south. Therefore, this time the Qing Dynasty must defeat Zhao Zamao and regain North Korea. Since General Ma has this kind of heroism, I will order you as the vanguard and let another general cooperate with you!"

As he said that, Hong Chengchou glanced at the generals and looked at Li Benshen, then he said loudly: "General Li, I will order you to be the deputy, you two will be 10,000 soldiers to set the way for the army, and pass the Yalu River first to set the way for the army!"

Ma Guanghui and Li Benshen immediately saluted Qian'er, "Zhe! Obey the order!"
