    Dandong is located on the border of eastern Liaoning. Because of its important geographical location, it has been a strategic military location in all dynasties!

    During the Warring States Period, this was the eastern border of Yan State.

    In the Western Han Dynasty, Xi'an Ping County and Wuci County were established.

    In the first year of the General Chapter of the Tang Dynasty, the Andong Protectorate was established.

    The Liao Dynasty built Xuanzhou, Kaizhou, Muzhou and Laiyuan City, and the Jin Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of Posuofu Road (now Jiulian Town, Zhen'an District).

    During the Yuan Dynasty, the gold system was followed and the Posuo Mansion was established.

    The Ming Dynasty was subordinate to the Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Department.

    In the forty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1618), after the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci adopted a border-defining policy and built wicker borders at the Kehe River Gate and Phoenix City Gate. Farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, logging, and mining were prohibited outside the border walls.  As a result, the Dandong area became a barren land!

    After Nurhachi led his army to leave Hetuala, he rushed all the way to Dandong. His purpose was very simple, which was to cross the Yalu River from Dandong and enter North Korea to meet with Huang Taiji's Zhengbai Banner!

    But when Nurhaci arrived at the Yalu River, not only did he not wait for Huang Taiji, the Yalu River was also blocked by Mao Wenlong's Liaodong Navy!

    Mao Wenlong has always been ruthless in doing things. After he sent people into the Yalu River, he not only sent boats to cruise day and night, but also directly destroyed all the bridges on the Yalu River, completely cutting off the connection between the two sides of the Yalu River!

    After Nurhaci arrived at the Yalu River, he tried to cross the river several times, but was blocked by Mao Wenlong's people. If Nurhaci could give up entering North Korea at this time and escape far north, then his room for maneuver would be greatly increased. The portrait of Zhu Youxiao  It will also take more effort to exterminate him!

    But Nurhaci didn¡¯t know why he was obsessed with it. When he had to cross the river to North Korea, and finally when there was no hope of crossing the river, he ignored the persuasion of Daishan and Hu Erhan and insisted on waiting for Huang Taiji to come to make peace by the Yalu River!

    Nurhaci saw the appointed day, but Huang Taiji was still late, thinking that Huang Taiji was avoiding him in order to retain the command of Zhengbai Banner. For this reason, Nurhaci was furious and sent people to secretly cross the river to urge him!

    But the final and definite news that awaited was that the Ming army had captured North Korea, Huang Taiji died in battle, and the entire 20,000 Zhengbai Banner army was wiped out!

    After receiving the news, Nurhaci immediately vomited blood and fainted to the ground. The first words he said when he woke up were: "The whole army is marching towards Ninggu Pagoda!"

    Although Nurhaci made the right choice, it was too late, because in the past few days of his delay, a total of 60,000 Guards cavalry and Liaodong town cavalry had arrived, directly blocking Nurhaci's way!

    Facing the 60,000 Ming army, Nurhachi did not choose to retreat. He ordered Hu Erhan to lead 20,000 Jin soldiers to confront the Ming army. He personally led an army of 10,000 as a reserve force. He only waited for Hu Erhan to open a gap and led his men to fight out.  Siege!

    In Nurhaci¡¯s vision, the Ming army¡¯s firearms and city defense were powerful, but the wild battles were still not as good as his Houjin cavalry. However, Nurhachi forgot that the current Ming army is no longer the Ming army three years ago!

    So Nurhaci, the Liaodong man, watched helplessly as his invincible cavalry was beaten to death under the siege of 60,000 Ming troops. Hu Erhan was seriously injured and escaped with more than 10,000 remaining troops!

    In desperation, Nurhachi had no choice but to settle down in the former Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Department. Only then did he realize how stupid his policy of defining the border was. Originally, the Dandong generation belonged to the land of plenty in Liaodong, but now it was a wasteland. His  The army is trapped here, and even food and grass cannot be solved!

    A few days later, 50,000 Guards infantrymen and 50,000 Imperial Army troops also arrived in Dandong. A total of 160,000 troops completely completed the siege of Nurhachi!

    However, Li Rubai, the commander-in-chief of the Guards Cavalry, did not launch an attack. Instead, he trapped Nurhachi's army, waiting for Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, to march in person!

    This embarrassment lasted for more than a month. Nurhaci¡¯s army relied on a small amount of dry food, wild vegetables, and horse meat to survive. But they also knew that failure would only happen sooner or later if they could not break out and had no reinforcements!

    In order to survive, Nurhachi also sent people to ask Li Rubai to surrender, but Li Rubai killed Nurhachi's envoy cleanly and stopped him from surrendering!

    It¡¯s no wonder that Li Rubai is so hot. Because of Nurhachi¡¯s rise, the Li family was almost destroyed. Li Rubai himself almost died in prison. He already hated Nurhaci to the extreme. If he hadn¡¯t waited for Zhu Youxiao  When Dad went to war, he would have cut Nurhachi into pieces!

    Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Youxiao arrived at Li Rubai's central army. Li Rubai led Qi Jin, Qin Liangyu, Zu Dashou and other generals in the camp.Pick up at ten miles outside the door!

    After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Youxiao asked directly: "How is the battle going?"

    Li Rubai said with a smile: "I have led people to surround the slave chief for more than a month. I will start the general attack as soon as your Majesty arrives. I believe that the trouble of establishing the slave can be solved in one battle!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "I am not worried about the issue of establishing slaves, but I am a little unsure about the next war with Mongolia!"

    Li Rubai said: "Your Majesty is worried that the Mongols will flee after their defeat?"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Taizu and Chengzu conquered Mongolia several times, but they escaped. As a result, this kind of expedition became a repeated war of attrition, and even led to the tragedy of the Tumubao Incident. Although I have confidence  Defeat them, but it is not easy to completely solve this serious problem!"

    Li Rubai pondered for a moment and said: "Admiral Xiong has now mobilized a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses from the five towns of Datong, Xuanfu, Yulin, Guyuan and Liaodong, plus 150,000 Imperial Alliance Army, 30,000 Duoyan Guards, and the Mongolians who have surrendered  Twenty thousand troops, a total of 300,000 troops, marched from the front line of Xuanda to the hinterland of the Mongolian grasslands. When His Majesty leads the army to eradicate the Jiannu, break through Chahanhot, and then outflank them in a roundabout way, it must be difficult for the Mongols to escape now!"

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. After all, the Mongols are a nation on the grasslands. They can be defeated a hundred times, but we cannot attack a hundred times. As long as we stop attacking, they will grow stronger again.  So if you want to get rid of it once and for all, you can¡¯t just rely on beatings, you have to use other means!¡±

    Li Rubai hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean to use trade to control them?"

    It¡¯s no wonder that Li Rubai thought of this method immediately, because since the establishment of the Nine-Border Mutual Market, Mongolian ministries have become increasingly dependent on the Ming Dynasty. Many Mongolian tribes have even settled around the mutual market, and these tribes were the first to embrace the Ming Dynasty!

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "This alone is not enough. Military, trade, marriage, religion, and various means must be used. In short, my goal is to completely integrate Mongolia into the Ming Dynasty!"

    Li Rubai sounded a little confused and could only smile and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and I admire you very much!"

    Zhu Youxiao also knew that Li Rubai didn¡¯t have this kind of strategic thinking, so he didn¡¯t say much, just smiled and said: ¡°These are all things for later, let¡¯s do the things in front of us right now!¡±

    Li Rubai hurriedly said: "I understand!"

    Entering Li Rubai's tent, looking at the simple sand table with various small flags, Zhu Youxiao asked: "When was this the situation between us and the enemy?"

    Li Rubai quickly said: "This is the situation between the enemy and ourselves after the scouts reported this morning!"

    As he spoke, Li Rubai pointed to a black flag and said: "The slave chief is now trapped in the Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Department. In the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618), he implemented the policy of defining the border and abolished the Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Department.  It also prohibits people from farming, fishing and hunting here. Now the Liaodong Capital Command has been completely abandoned, with only some ruins left to defend, and the slave chief is trapped here in a cocoon!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at several other places. The yellow flag represented the Guards, the cyan flag represented the Liaodong Army, and the yellow and red flag represented the Imperial Association Army!

    Judging from the situation on the sand table, Nurhachi is now backed by the Yalu River and surrounded on three sides. It can be said that it is impossible to escape!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a while and said: "The decree is that the Imperial Alliance Army will attack the Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Department at all costs tomorrow. The Guards infantry will cooperate with the attack and force Jiannu out of the Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Department. In addition, the Guards cavalry will  , the Liaodong Town cavalry intercepted, and strive to eliminate the slaves in this battle!"

    The generals immediately raised their chests and shouted: "I obey the order!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
