Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 1079: Piffy

Zhou Shixiang’s idea was very simple. Since he had no food in his hands, he would “borrow” food from those who had it.

Back then, didn’t he just let Zhao Ziqiang go to Annan to “borrow food”.

This method, in fact, is robbery, fighting to support war. Unlike in China, the target of the **** is not one’s own compatriots.

Of course, this method also has a noble name, which is to raise the soldiers of our tribe with the blood of other tribes.

The size of Korea is also a country. According to Zhou Shixiang’s understanding, Korea provided a lot of food to Manchu and even sent troops to help Manchu deal with the Ming army. Before that, Daming had the grace to rebuild North Korea. Had it not been for Wanli’s anti-Japanese war, the country of North Korea would have long since ceased to exist. Therefore, North Korea turned its back on Daming when it was difficult, and it was really ungrateful.

Of course, from the perspective of the Koreans, they surrendered to the Manchu Qing to keep their own country. Whoever made himself unable to defeat the Manchu Qing, Daming couldn’t help him. But in any case, since he can provide food, grass, soldiers and horses to the Manchu Qing, he can also provide the Taiping Army. This is not a difficult multiple-choice question, it’s just that who’s knife is quick to listen to who’s.

A small country is a big thing.

As soon as North Korea’s intention to get food came out, Zhou Shixiang soon had a plan for the North Korea in his mind. Specifically, it was the landing operation. As a member of the People’s Liberation Army in his previous life, he was very impressed by the Incheon landing operation.

With the landing of a powerful navy in the Incheon area, the North Korean state is divided into two parts. As long as the land battle can suppress the North Korean army, then the next step will naturally be political negotiations.

Zhou Shixiang wanted North Korea’s food and grass, and he was not interested in destroying his country for the time being. The country is already a rotten beach, and he has no energy to come to the Korean colonial rule first on the premise that the country is in ruins.

For the ruler of any feudal dynasty, in the case that the military cannot win the opponent, it is the cheapest and most suitable conditions to pay some money, send some food, and capture some young men and women to give to the opponent.

Zhou Shixiang was sure that the Koreans would definitely not fight to the death with the Taiping Army. After all, the Taiping Army was the army of Daming, and North Korea had received such a great favor from Daming, so it is impossible for the country to be a wolves. As long as there are pro-Ming factions, then North Korea’s problems can be better solved.

In addition, there is Jeju Island in North Korea, which is also very good and suitable as a naval base. This island can not only radiate the entire North Korea, but also the fulcrum of the entire Liaodong operation.

Set up a naval base on Jeju Island, and then set up a naval base on the Dongjiang Islands where Mao Wenlong fought against the Qing Dynasty. The money and manpower from North Korea will be continuously invested in Liaodong, Ningjin, and Liaodong will fight this game of chess can be revitalized.

Zhou Shixiang did not pay attention to the power of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty outside the customs, or even ignored it. In order to suppress the voices against him in the Eight Banners, Shunzhi deliberately transferred Shengjing General Dunbai and Dutong’an Zhuhai into the customs. As a result, Dunbai took away 80% of the troops garrisoning the Eight Banners outside the customs, leaving behind not even 3,000 bannermen, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. If he couldn’t even deal with such a little old man and little tartar, Zhou Shixiang would definitely kill all the generals below while wiping his neck.

“That’s it, the army will first ignore Korea, force them to surrender, and take Korean grain and luggage before attacking Liaodong.”

Zhou Shixiang, as before, once again acted arbitrarily. From the time he made the decision to give up the sea crossing to the north, and now he decided to ignore Korea first, there was no time for half a column of incense.

He was really in a hurry, Shunzhi died, and if nothing else happened, Kang Xiaomazi would ascend to the throne. Originally, the battle situation in Henan was still at a stalemate. Now that more than 100,000 people from the loyal camp are heading north, the battle situation in Henan will definitely change. Regardless of whether there will be a winner or loser between Aobai and Wu Sangui, it is impossible for the Qing court to defend Beijing. Once the rest of the Eight Banners in the capital city are the first to leave the border, the plan to exterminate the clan and the many efforts made for it will be in vain.

Zhou Shixiang never thought that he was a cruel and bloodthirsty person. He also had tenderness, and he was also a good son, good husband and good father. However, he can never go back to the past. Although everything about the original owner of the body seems to have nothing to do with him in the future, he doesn’t have to keep hatred in his heart and hold it in his heart. But he couldn’t do it, and when he thought of the two empty tombs outside Xinhui City, his heart was cut like a knife.

He must take revenge, and there is no revenge method in this world that is more enjoyable and more exhilarating than the extermination of a family.

A gentleman takes revenge only in the morning and evening.

That day, the scholars in Xinhui City were furious.

Today, His Royal Highness King Qi still considers himself a mere husband.

Only the blood of ordinary people will never be cold.

From the perspective of politics and interests alone, Zhou Shixiang could have a better choice. He didn’t have to make such a move, and even said that he was desperate to send troops to Liaodong, because the risks involved were too great, and there were not many political gains.

Right now, the restoration of the old capital, Beijing, is the most important thing in the world.

It doesn’t matter whether Manchuria will be exterminated.

The occupation of Beijing, for His Royal Highness King Qi, also had an immeasurable political influence.

Perhaps, this can make His Highness King Qi turn into His Majesty the Emperor.

But that was the consideration of politicians and careerists. Even though he was called the Great Commander and His Highness by others, Zhou Shixiang would still be the scholar who vowed to take revenge, and the man who wanted to take revenge.

He could not tolerate his enemies fleeing back to their den.

From the perspective of immediate interests, sending troops to Liaodong is definitely the worst policy; from the perspective of long-term interests, it is the best policy.

Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty perishes in the future, Zhou Shixiang can also form a strategic advantage over Wu Sangui by relying on the customs.

Xu Yingyuan and Dong Changqing were accustomed to the commander’s impatience, but one of them could accept the plan of ignoring North Korea first, while the other had doubts about it.

What Dong Changqing doubts is how long it will take to pacify North Korea. What if it drags on for a long time in North Korea and the army hangs in Liaodong alone?

The answer given by Xu Yingyuan is no more than three months at most. Of course he is not aimless, but has a basis. Because the Manchu Qing attacked North Korea twice that year, and once was Amin, one of the four major Baylors, as the coach, and spent three months forcing North Korea to surrender. Once, the captive chieftain Hong Tai personally led the army, but in less than a month the army arrived in Seoul.

North Korea is a country, but it is too small, only a province compared to Ming Dynasty.

“In those days, Mandara attacked Korea purely with infantry, but today our army has navy troops. If we can attack its key points and take Korea, it will be easy.” Xu Yingyuan said.

Zhou Shixiang believed it very well. The Qing army entered the dynasty from the Yalu River on foot and cavalry, and could reach Seoul in a month. He is now a land and water army. As long as there is no surprise, another Incheon battle will give the Korean army in Seoul a chance to flee to the south. nothing.
