On the tall bridge, Yunzheng looked far into the distance. His gaze seemed to have passed through layers of clouds and mist, all the way to Chongjin.
Yun Yi stood beside him, squinting at the northern horizon as well, seeming to enjoy it quite a bit.
But after a while, Yun Yi sighed and said: "Young Marshal, do you really think that after our raid on North Hamgyong Province, the Goryeo, Liao and Jurchens will not react?"
Yunzheng closed his eyes, felt the sea breeze, and said calmly: "I didn't say that they would not react, I just said that it is impossible for these three parties to fight with us because of this."
Yun Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "But this place in North Hamgyong Province is really special. The general is afraid that the three countries will temporarily abandon their old grudges for this place and unite first to force us to give in. Then we will rebel from Goryeo."
The land taken from the army was an advantage for them."
The reason why Yun Yi said this is because of the special nature of North Hamgyong Province. North Hamgyong Province was originally the territory of Goryeo. Later, it was occupied by the Liao Kingdom after the war with the Liao Kingdom and the defeat. After the Jurchens raised their troops, it was taken by the Jurchens.
Later, after the fierce fighting between the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens, the local Jurchen garrison naturally withdrew, so Goryeo took the opportunity to regain the lost territory. Then there was a civil uprising in Goryeo, and they occupied this land pitifully.
First, the Liao Kingdom felt that this land belonged to them because they had obtained it from Goryeo. The Jurchens also felt that this land belonged to them because they had recovered it from the Liao Kingdom. Needless to say, Goryeo also felt that this land belonged to them.
That was their lost land, and of course they had to take it back... As a result, North Hamgyong Province became a fat mess in everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, the three families were so busy at this time that they didn't even care about this border area. They just talked about it.
They talked about it and declared their ownership, but in fact no one sent troops to ask for it.
Yun Zheng knew this very well. He still did not open his eyes, but curled his lips: "Liao Kingdom, if Xiao Su can legitimately take full power, with Xiao Tianzuo here, he may have such magnanimity to join forces with the Jurchens to persuade us. After all,
Xiao Tianzuo... can be regarded as an outstanding person, but it's a pity that the Xiao family is only a descendant of the clan. Even if he is the regent, he cannot ignore the wishes of the Yelu royal family. And the reckless men of the Yelu family have always looked down on the Jurchens, and now they are in a stalemate.
When we got up, we were very angry. We wanted them to join forces with the Jurchens to put pressure on us, but Xiao Su couldn't do it.
There is not much information on the Jurchen side. Speaking of which, Wanyan Agu is quite capable of beating this person. However, the Wanyan family raised an army to resist the oppression of the Liao State and have not won yet. If they suddenly join hands with the Liao State to put pressure on us at this time,
, there will definitely be a lot of opposition within their tribe. I predict that Wanyan Aguda will not be willing to take the risk of splitting the tribe to fight for this piece of land in North Hamgyong Province.
As for Goryeo, hum, the Goryeo court is now relying on our northern border to survive. Once our northern frontier cuts off its aid, the Goryeo court will not even be able to pay the officials' salaries, let alone the soldiers' food and salary. Although they still control the six Koreas
There are more than 1,000 cities, but outside the cities, there is almost no land. The food in each city is smuggled into the city by merchants who want to exchange food for copper coins of the Wei Dynasty. As long as we cut off the import of copper coins, the Goryeo court will surely
It will collapse on its own. In this case, how dare the Goryeo court be tough on us?"
Yun Yi looked at Yun Zheng, who had a relaxed expression on his face, and sighed: "Young Marshal, there is something I shouldn't say at the end of my life."
"Oh?" Yun Zheng chuckled: "But I think you still plan to say it now, so let's talk about it."
"The young marshal seems to have changed over the past year. Sometimes even the general can't believe it. Is this the same young marshal back then?"
Yun Zheng finally opened his eyes, looked at Yun Yi, suddenly laughed, and patted his shoulder: "Brother, we are all growing up, and we are slowly shouldering the important responsibility of continuing and developing the Yun family. For you,
Or for 'you', if you know how to fight, you are good, and you are the good son of my Yun family. But for me, it is more than that. I am the legitimate son of the Yun family, and the future commander-in-chief. My abilities,
Personality and even luck are directly related to the future future of the Yun family. Luck, I can't do anything about it, so I have to continue to exercise my abilities and improve my personality - I can recite poetry and invent some things.
It’s an improvement in ability; at the same time, I’m not as irritable as I used to be. This is an improvement in my personality.”
Yun Yi looked at Yun Zheng steadily and suddenly said: "Young Marshal, I believe that in the hands of our generation, the Yun family will be even more glorious!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and said: "We are brothers, right?
?”
Yun Zheng also extended his hand, and the two high-fived each other. Yun Zheng nodded firmly: "Of course."
----------------------------------According to the original history, Chongjin was Goguryeo.
The territory of Bohae Kingdom was later ruled by China's Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. In the late Goryeo Dynasty, the Wang family was included in the Li family in Jingcheng County. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was a small fishing village under the jurisdiction of Fuju County. In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out and the Qing Dynasty
Chongjin was used as a military supply station by the Japanese army. In 1908, Japan forced North Korea to open Chongjin as a trading port. During the Japanese colonial period, it developed into a steel manufacturing base. In 1941, it was officially upgraded to Chongjin City. On August 13, 1945, Chongjin was occupied by the Soviet Army.
Liberated and became the first batch of liberated North Korean cities. In 1960, Funyeong County and Ronan City were merged, separated from North Hamgyong Province, and upgraded to a central municipality. In 1985, it returned to the jurisdiction of North Hamgyong Province and became the capital.
The reason why Yunzheng chose to land here was not that he didn't know that Chongjin is just a small fishing village now, but that he really couldn't remember any good ports in eastern North Korea. The only thing he remembered was Chongjin, so he had to start from here.
Let's talk about landing. Since Chongjin can form such a large port in later generations, its natural conditions will naturally not be bad. Today's ships do not draft as deep as those of later generations. Chongjin Port should be able to serve as a natural port to accommodate the First Fleet of the Northern Xinjiang Navy.
Sure enough, after more than nine days of sailing, the Northern Xinjiang Navy's First Fleet, fully loaded with the four Yingyang Guards No. 1, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, successfully landed in Chongjin. Except for two large ships loaded with troops,
The battleship was stranded at the port for a long time, and except for taking advantage of the high tide the next day to leave, it can be said that everything else went smoothly.
What's even better is that this place is inaccessible. A total of 22,400 troops landed. The Korean rebels who occupied North Hamgyong Province didn't know anything about it. Yun Zheng set a record for a surprise attack this time.
However, Yun Zheng's destination was not Chongjin, but Musan, three hundred miles northwest of Chongjin, which was the location of the Musan Iron Mine in later generations. The Musan Iron Mine in later generations was the main iron producing area in northern North Korea, in the northwest corner of North Hamgyong Province.
The Seongcheon River Basin, a tributary of the Tumen River, is close to the border between China and North Korea. In later history, iron ore was discovered in Musan in 1916. In 1935, the mined reserves were 1.1 billion tons, ranking first in North Korea. Most of them were magnetite, and a small amount was hematite. The grade
About 40% and Mushan is not only rich in iron ore resources, but also a large timber distribution center
Yunzheng is not just digging here and leaving. He plans to take over the iron and wood here permanently. There are also large-scale coal mines in Suncheon, Bukchang, and Tokcheon in Pyongan South Road in the middle of North Korea.
It can be mined nearby. Once the steam engine can be used, especially if steam power can be used, North Korea will be the best shipbuilding base for the navy. After all, transportation in this era cannot be compared with that of later generations. The farther it is transported, the more resources are wasted.
The more there are, so it is most cost-effective to do this in places where the three basic resources are concentrated. Another one is that although Yunzheng plans to take over Japan and Korea, he still does not regard these two places as "China" in his heart.
, when he wants to use resources, he always wants to use the "outer China" ones first, and then the "inner China" ones, so as not to waste his own resources earlier.
In fact, Yunzheng is not clear about it. In northern Korea, there are not only large coal mines in South Pyongan Province, but also in North Pyongan Province! The entire mineral resources of North Korea are quite rich, which is much better than that of South Korea.
However, according to the mining capabilities of this era, even if Yunzheng only remembers the coal mines in Ping'an South Road, it is enough for him to dig. After Yunzheng led 20,000 eagle guards to land in Chongjin, Yunlang and the First Fleet of the Northern Xinjiang Navy
They temporarily stayed in Chongjin for a few days, built a few simple docks, and then immediately turned back. They needed to return to Iwami, Japan to replenish supplies, and then transport a batch of supplies to Chongjin for Yunzheng's use.
By the way, when troops were sent to northern Goryeo this time, Japan, the little brother, of course could not stay out of it. Originally, Akimiya Kiyoko planned to use the military power of Ying Yangwei to force each country in Japan to contribute a group of warriors for Ying Yangwei to take and dispatch, but Yun
Zheng thought for a while and still refused. Of course he knew that Akimiya Kiyoko wanted to use this to weaken the strength of various Japanese countries, but he considered that Japan had just experienced such a big change. If he immediately showed a serious "cutting down the vassal",
The trend has made people panic. If there is another chaos in Japan, Yun Zheng is sure to quell it at a faster speed, but after all, it is a waste of time, and what he lacks most now is time. Besides, this business is not cost-effective.
He was going to fight, and he was still determined to win a quick victory. He wanted to defeat the two to three hundred thousand Korean rebels entrenched in North Hamgyong Province with lightning speed, and he also wanted to quickly conquer such a large territory.
The occupation was not only to give a strong deterrent to the Liao Kingdom, Jurchens, and Goryeo, but also to test Ying Yangwei's true combat level - yes, the battle against the Japanese Genpei family was not considered by Yun Zheng.
Originally, the equipment and training of the Japanese were far inferior to those of Ying Yangwei, and they had no advantage in numbers. Failure was inevitable. This did not prove the strength of Ying Yangwei. And his trip to North Korea to fight was planned to defeat at least two people with 20,000 soldiers.
One hundred thousand Korean rebels, such a battle is considered a war!
