Chapter 590, the first battle to settle Liaodong

In Shenyang City, Liu Jin's army has also officially taken over Shenyang's defense.

In the residence of the Shenyang Guard Commander, Zhu Houzhao was sitting on top of everyone with a carefree attitude. Liu Jin beside him was still crying. He finally found his master. He must not make such a mistake again in the future.

"Your Highness, what do you think of Liaodong?"

Zhu Houzhao ordered his people to open a map of the Liaodong area and asked with a smile.

"It's pretty good. The land here is flat, open, and very fertile. The climate is also quite cool. It's a good place."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said.

"It's more than a good place."

"This is simply a treasure."

Liu Jin smiled and said.

"Your Highness, you see, this is the Liaodong region."

"The entire Liaodong region is surrounded by mountains on three sides: the Greater Khingan Range, the Lesser Khingan Range, the Changbai Mountains, and the Great Plains in the middle. The resources here are extremely rich, including coal and iron ore."

"The key is that this place is close enough to our capital city and is in the Bohai Bay. It is extremely convenient to travel by land and water. After our Ming Dynasty develops this place, it will be enough to support tens of millions of people."

Looking at Zhu Houzhao in front of him, Liu Jin once again began to instill in him the importance of Liaodong. This is a good place and must be developed.

"Well, Lao Liu, do you want to engage in real estate here?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, then rolled his eyes, thought for a while and asked.

This was already Zhu Houzhao's habitual thought. As long as Liu Jin mentioned a good place, it would definitely develop rapidly.

When I partnered with Liu Jin to buy land in Tianjin and Beijing, I was now making a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, the land I had hoarded in my hands was worth a fortune.

Not long ago, I was hoarding land in Songhu. Songhu is also a good place as Liu Jin said, and it will definitely increase in price.

Take a closer look at this Liaodong area. The location is indeed very good, and the conditions here are also very good. Maybe it can definitely skyrocket in the future.

"...Your Highness, this is not a suitable place for real estate."

Liu Jin was speechless. I was talking to you about national affairs, but you actually thought about getting rich.

What kind of real estate is there in Liaodong area? Is there anyone here?

I don’t have any money, so I can’t do real estate.

"Your Highness, what I mean is that this is a treasure land with superior natural conditions. The imperial court should vigorously develop the Liaodong area."

"Last time we went to Shaanxi to reward the three armies, your Highness must have seen the conditions in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan."

"These places have more people and less land. Coupled with the long years of development, the environment here has become extremely harsh."

"Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, there will be wars here."

"But what about this Liaodong region? The land here is fertile and the natural environment is superior, but it has not been developed."

"So if we move people from Shaanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shandong to reduce the pressure on these places, we can not only develop Liaodong, but also greatly alleviate the conflict between man and nature."

Liu Jin thought for a while and continued to teach.

If you want to immigrate on a large scale, relying solely on superior conditions to attract people is obviously not enough.

So it must be done with orders from the court.

Liu Jin felt that he might not be able to convince Emperor Hongzhi and many ministers in the court, so he first instilled this idea into Zhu Houzhao.

Even if it doesn't succeed now, it will be more likely to succeed when Zhu Houzhao becomes emperor.

"This is pretty good~"

"However, you should tell my father about this matter. What's the use of telling me."

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a while, then nodded after thinking about it.

"Your Highness is the crown prince, so naturally he needs to know these things."

Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean, Old Liu. I will talk to my father about this later."

"This Liaodong is indeed a good place, but leaving it undeveloped would be a waste of resources."

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently that he was the least interested in this important national matter.

But Liu Jin is right when he says that Liaodong is indeed a good place and it needs to be vigorously developed.

"Old Liu, I heard that there are tigers and bears here in Liaodong. How about we go hunting sometime?"

Then Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and thought about playing.

"Okay, after we finish these things, we will go hunting together."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded in agreement.

To be honest, it was not easy to come to Liaodong, and Liu Jin was ready to have a good time.

Go dig some ginseng from Liaodong, and bring back some deer antlers from Liaodong. Tigers, well, there are still a lot of tigers in this era, so it would be good to get a tiger skin as a mat.

"I think Liaodong is quite close to North Korea. How about we go to North Korea to have some fun?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the map and quickly saw the location of North Korea and suggested again.

I finally came out once, but I always felt that I didn't have enough fun. North Korea was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is so close, so I have to go and play it.

"…Your Highness, what is so interesting about North Korea?"

"The football field here in Tianjin is almost completed. It will be fun to hold the Tianjin Football Tournament then."

Liu Jin was speechless. He was going to North Korea. Didn't he see that Liu Jin next to him was hopeless?

After thinking about it, Liu Jin could only find a way to get this ancestor back. As long as he went back, he would not care about his own affairs. If something happened in Liaodong, he would be finished.

"The football field is almost ready?"

"Great, I have already formed a team, and our Royal Military Academy football team will definitely win the first place~"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately became energetic. Football is also one of his favorites. After playing it once, he couldn't help but fall in love with this game.

He is now a football expert, and his presence is indispensable in almost every football match in Tianjin.

"That's not necessarily true. I think the football team of Tianjin Maritime University is quite strong."

Liu Jin smiled and said.

"Then let's compete~"

"Compare it~"

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were discussing the football match again, while Wang Shouren and Jiang Ji were also following Liu Jin's orders to constantly hunt down the remaining Tatars.

"Ama~ Let's surrender. Maybe the Ming army will let us live, just like grandpa did back then."

Tuo Yuanbao kept running away on his horse, and at the same time he said to Toluo.

At this moment, they had completely lost the pride they had when the war began, and there was only fear in their eyes, incomparable fear.

This station was completely defeated. The brave Jurchen warriors and even the seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight enemies were wiped out without even touching them.

Akito's artillery and muskets were terrifying.

"surrender?"

Tuoluo's eyes were full of confusion.

The defeat was so miserable that there were only about a hundred people left, and behind them were the Ming army cavalry who were constantly chasing them.

His whole body suddenly seemed to be old, extremely old.

Ambition has been severely shattered, just like a charcoal fire extinguished by a basin of cold water, and being discouraged is nothing more than that.

"Pfft~"

Thinking of this, and then looking at the fleeing tribesmen around him, Tuo Luo instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell down.

"Ama~"

Tuo Yuanbao immediately roared, turned over and dismounted, and then took a closer look.

Turo is dead~

Originally considered to be an advanced age, he died two years later in history, but now he died two years earlier.

"Dong~dong~"

At this time, there was a dense sound of horse hoofbeats, and thousands of cavalrymen holding scimitars chased them in the blink of an eye.

"Surrender~"

"We surrender~"

Tuo Yuanbao immediately shouted loudly, with a trace of expectation in his heart.

I hope that the Ming court can forgive them for the mistakes they made this time and let him continue to be the commander of the Jianzhou left guard, just like Dong Shan back then.

Even though he continued to plunder the capital of Liaodong and was attacked by the Ming army, he was still allowed to continue to be the commander in the end.

Not only did they surrender, many people surrendered. Badal, who was the main fighter, also led his Hada tribe to surrender. Some people from the Haixi Jurchens and Savage Jurchens also surrendered.

They had very few horses. How could they outrun the cavalry in the open areas? Even if they were brave, how could they be a match for the cavalry led by Wang Shouren.

Jiang Ji also led the Liaodong Dusi troops to attack the Jurchens' home base in Jiangzhou.

Many people in Liaodong Dusi had enmity with the Jurchens.

The Ming people here in the Liaodong region are basically military households and their descendants. The Jurchen tribes have been plundering the guard posts of the Liaodong capital for a long time.

There was a lot of burning, killing and looting.

Therefore, it can be considered that the grudges have been deep, and the military households under the Liaodong Dusi have long wanted to kill these Jurchens.

It's just that they have been unable to defeat these Jurchens over and over again. The general soldiers above have taken advantage of the Jurchens and constantly suppressed their own people.

Therefore, it can be said that these military households in Liaodong Dusi have nowhere to vent their anger.

Well now, the imperial army came and easily wiped out these Jurchens. They can still easily take care of the remaining old and weak remnants.

The Jurchen tribes were destroyed one by one, and the remaining Jurchens were all captured, just like they once captured Ming people as slaves, but now it's just the other way around.

"Shoot all tribal leaders and nobles~"

"The remaining strong ones are sold as slaves to the Beijing-Tianjin area. Each slave is now worth dozens of taels of silver. Many slaves are sold here in Korea and Japan."

"As for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, all are sent by ship to the Ryukyu and Nanyang regions to let them cultivate manors."

Liu Jin was also very decisive in dealing with these people.

Originally, I just wanted to treat them as prairie people and they insisted on fighting. In this case, the treatment was naturally completely different.

They can't even think about staying here in Liaodong. Liaodong will be conquered in one battle and there will be no more wars from now on.
