    For Emperor Tianqi, he really has no intention to deal with Hou Jin in the north.  In fact, Emperor Tianqi didn't take them to heart after traveling through time.  If it weren't for the combination of various factors, they would have no hope of gaining the world.  "But we can't ignore it at this time. Although we don't understand military affairs, we can't let them get North Korea. This is certain.  If North Korea is a logistics base, Emperor Tianqi will also find it a bit tricky.  However, Emperor Tianqi did not think that now was a good time to launch a large-scale military operation against Houjin.  An imperial envoy was sent to pass the imperial edict to Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Liaodong. As for what to do, Emperor Tianqi felt that it was better to let him make the decision.  There is no need to delve too deeply into such a small fight.  However, the court still regarded this matter as a major event, and another major event was the casting of silver coins.  When Emperor Tianqi was busy, the entire island of Taiwan was also busy. After three months of integration, Zheng Zhilong finally transformed Taiwan's team.  Combining his own power and Yan Siqi's power, Zheng Zhilong's Shibazhi already has hundreds of warships.  Among them, there were forty main warships, two for each group, and Zheng Zhilong retained four for himself.  Although the rest are all small boats, they already have an advantage in numbers!  There are forty main warships, each of which is a warship equipped with ten cannons.  For a time, its reputation was great and it became a new major force in the Taiwan Strait.  Although it was originally a mainstream force, it was still much weaker than Li Dan, not to mention the more powerful Dutch.  At this time, the Spanish fleet had arrived at the Chicken Coop in Taiwan, in order to break the Dutch trade blockade against the Spanish in Manila.  For a time, the Taiwan Strait was turbulent, and there were frequent frictions between various forces. A war was obviously inevitable.  At this time, Zheng Zhilong should be reorganizing his fleet in Taiwan, but he is not in the mood now.  He was on his way to Japan because he had just received the news that his adoptive father Li Dan was critically ill in Japan.  After receiving this news.  Zheng Zhilong was very hesitant, should he go to Japan?  But Zheng Zhilong soon made the decision that he must go!  Li Dan had already revealed his intention to hand over the overseas fleet to him after his death.  Although his business will be inherited by his son Li Guozhu, the overseas fleet will still be handed over to him.  What he wants is very simple, that is, to protect his son as much as possible after his death.  There was no delay along the way.  Soon Zheng Zhilong met Li Dan on Li Dan's boat. At this time, Li Dan had long lost his original wise temperament.  His face was very withered, and he looked like he was dying.  Seeing Li Dan's appearance, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly ran to the bedside, tears instantly flowed down, and his voice trembled as he said, "Father!" "Yiguan. You are finally here. If you come later, I'm afraid I won't see you again."  My foster father is gone!" When Li Dan saw Zheng Zhilong, his eyes slowly opened and his dry lips trembled.  "Father, no! It will get better. I have brought the best doctor, you will be fine!" Although he was thinking about Li Dan's family business, Zheng Zhilong still had feelings for Li Dan.  .  Seeing Li Dan in such a mess, I still couldn't bear it.  Shaking his head with difficulty, Li Dan smiled bitterly and said, "My adoptive father has been content in his life. He has been poor and rich. When he was young, he never thought that he would be here today. Even if he is gone now, he has no regrets.  " Zheng Zhilong didn't speak. Li Dan held his hand tightly and gasped for air. After a while, he continued: "But my adoptive father still has some things to worry about. Guozhu, you also know that he is not the person in charge of the fleet.  , the business can be done. My adoptive father can't leave my overseas family business in his hands. I can only rest assured if it is in your hands." "Father, I believe that Guozhu can do it, and I will help him.  Him!" Zheng Zhilong glanced at Li Guozhu who was standing aside and said softly.  "Yiguan. I understand my son. You don't have to object to this matter anymore." He waved to his son and said in a serious voice: "You must not resent Yiguan because of this matter. He is your  My sworn brother, you must respect him from now on!" Li Guozhu can let go. He knows that things at sea are not that simple!  My father didn't want him to take too many risks, and the Li family no longer had to risk their lives.  If you keep your current family business, you can become a rich man.  By handing over the fleet to Zheng Zhilong, he can also do business under his protection.  "Father, don't worry! My child understands your hard work. I will definitely keep the family fortune you left me. Let me have a sworn brother in the fleet!" Li Guozhu's words were not meant for Li Dan to hear.  Tell it to Zheng Zhilong.  He is telling Zheng Zhilong that I will definitely protect the Li family's business, so you shouldn't pay attention.  As for the fleet, my father has left it to you. As a son, I can¡¯t object.But you have to know when enough is enough.  For Zheng Zhilong, what he was interested in was Li Dan's fleet. As for the Li family's property, he really didn't take it seriously.  As a person who has been running at sea for many years, Zheng Zhilong knows very well that combat power comes first in this sea.  As for business, if you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can rob it. That's much faster than doing business.  What's more, the Taiwan Strait is very unstable now. The Dutch, Spanish, and the Ming Dynasty are all staring at this place with eager eyes. The key is to increase your combat power quickly.  Being able to happily accept Li Dan's team is more important than anything else.  As for other things, we can talk about it later.  After glancing at Li Guozhu, Zheng Zhilong turned his attention to Li Dan, shook Li Dan's hand vigorously, and said: "Father, don't worry, I, Zheng Zhilong, have been greatly favored by my adoptive father, so I will naturally not be ungrateful. I will give you a kiss in the future."  It¡¯s all you can eat.¡± ¡°Okay, okay!¡± Li Dan was very satisfied with his son¡¯s performance, and he was also very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong.  In such a mood, Li Dan finally closed his eyes.  Five years after the dawn of tomorrow, on the sixth day of July, Li Dan, who traveled across the Taiwan Strait, passed away.  At this time, Zheng Zhilong finally had the strength and prestige to unify the Chinese forces in the Taiwan Strait, and the entire Taiwan Strait ushered in a new era.  Although the overall armament is not as good as that of the Dutch and Spanish, Zheng Zhilong¡¯s foundation is here, and there is strength in numbers!  A three-legged situation has been officially formed in the Taiwan Strait!  Regarding North Korea, Emperor Tianqi actually didn¡¯t know what to say, because North Korea had just experienced a coup, and this was the famous Injo anyway.  Anyway, Injo was a palace coup that took place on March 12, Guihai year, during the reign of King Gwanghae of the Joseon Dynasty, which was the third year of Apocalypse.  This coup was led by the Westerners' Party and eventually deposed King Gwanghae and put King Ayang on the throne, which was the name of King Injo of Joseon.  In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, the Guichou Prison Incident occurred. Lord Guanghai killed Lord Linhai, Lord Yongchang and others who posed a threat to his throne. As a result, the Westerners Party lost power.  In the 40th year of Wanli's reign, Concubine Renmu was also weakened. This was opposed by many courtiers, and Lord Guanghai dismissed many Taiwanese admonishment officials.  During the war between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Lord Guanghai pursued a neutral attitude, which also aroused dissatisfaction among the officials.  On March 12, the third year of Tianqi, the Westerners led 1,300 people to invade Hanyang from the northeast of the city, and received a response of 2,000 people from the training capital.  The rebels invaded the palace, deposed Gwanghae Gun, and crowned Gwanghae Gun's nephew Ayang Gun as king, who was the Injo of Joseon.  King Injo exiled King Gwanghae to Ganghwa Island.  This was originally a power grab within North Korea. It didn¡¯t seem to have much to do with the Ming Dynasty, but it had a lot to do with it.  Because of the need to maintain orthodoxy, Ming Dynasty did not adopt a supportive attitude towards Lord Gwanghae's succession to the throne, which also led to Lord Gwanghae's dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty.  However, due to the rise of Hou Jin, the Ming Dynasty had no intention of dealing with North Korea, because at this time, a large-scale battle broke out between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin, which was the famous Battle of Sarhu.  In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army was defeated, and the offensive and defensive positions of Hou Jin were in different positions. Its power in Liaodong was greatly weakened.  Regarding the issue of accession to the throne, King Gwanghae was dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, so he advocated flexible diplomacy without offending the Ming Dynasty as much as possible.  At Gwanghaejun's insistence, Chosun wrote to Hou Jin, saying that surrendering to the Ming Dynasty was "a matter of great justice, and of course it is inevitable" and that the "good neighborly relationship" with Hou Jin was "not possible." He hoped that both sides would "protect each other's rights."  Seal the borders and make peace with each other."  The exchanges between North Korea and Hou Jin aroused the vigilance of the Ming Dynasty. Minister Xu Guangqi reported: "The relationship between North Korea and the slaves has been restored" and suggested sending officials to "guard their country".  King Guanghai was shocked and frightened when he heard the news, and quickly sent envoys to Beijing to "defend the false accusation."  In fact, since he came to the throne, King Gwanghae has worked hard to govern, implement reforms internally, and work hard to stabilize people's livelihood. Due to national strength, he has engaged in two-way diplomacy externally to strive for practical interests. This is also a no-brainer.  He promulgated the Datong Law, which exempted landless people from paying grain to the state. From then on, only landowners had to pay grain to the government. Therefore, the Datong Law was an innovative bill to relieve the poor.  In the view of Emperor Tianqi, Lord Guanghai was an accomplished king who wanted to strive for the greatest interests between Hou Jin and Ming Dynasty.  At the same time, make yourself as strong as possible to get rid of Ming's control of North Korea.  But his luck was not good. North Korea was so similar to Ming Dynasty that it even followed the instructions for party disputes.  The Westerners in North Korea are die-hard loyalists to the Ming Dynasty. They will not allow the existence of a ruler who destroys etiquette and harms his own interests.  So there was this coup, and North Korea returned to the hands of the Westerners.  They soon broke off diplomatic relations with Hou Jin and completely returned to the embrace of the imperialist family of the Ming Dynasty.  In this case, Dorgon must teach North Korea a lesson, so this war took place.  On the one hand, it gets rid of the overwhelming power of Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it also hopes to regain the support of North Korea.
