The Ming Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, and the cutting off trade with the Qing Dynasty had no great impact on itself.

But it was not possible for the Qing Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty refused to trade, many of their daily necessities would become extremely in short supply. There was no way, at this time, they could not grab them, so they could only turn to North Korea for help.

North Korea is actually quite loyal. At the beginning, North Korea refused to recognize the Qing Empire. The kings of North Korea only recognized the Ming Dynasty and respected the Ming Dynasty as the supreme country of the Celestial Empire.

Huang Taiji borrowed a boat from the Kingdom of Korea to attack the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the king of Korea was Li Nei. He said to the envoy of the Qing Dynasty: "The Ming Dynasty is my father. Can I help others to attack the country of my father? The ship cannot be borrowed?"

What does this sentence mean? "The Ming Dynasty is like my father. How can I help others attack my father? Do you think it is possible? I won't lend you the boat height and low!"

When Huang Taiji saw this damn North Korea, he was too bullying. However, considering that his time was not yet ripe, Huang Taiji endured it.

At that time, Huang Taiji wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor. The Later Jin and North Korea were neighboring countries, so of course they had to inform North Korea about this matter. They originally wanted to obtain North Korean support, but they did not expect that North Korea would not even have birds.

We North Korea only respect the Emperor of Ming as the Emperor, and even our own Emperor can only be called the King. You wild barbarians who want to be called the Emperor are overestimated!

At the beginning, Huang Taiji sent a delegation as if he was decent. Who knew that when the mission arrived in North Korea, the people even threw stones and spit at them. The North Korean authorities even refused the envoy. Li Wu even imprisoned Huang Taiji's envoy Ying'erdai. Later, Ying'erdai escaped from prison and escaped all the way back to the Qing Dynasty, reporting the whole process. He did not accept the letter and did not send anyone to "persuade" Huang Taiji to become emperor.

Huang Taiji was furious again, but he still endured it.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and changed the country's name to "Qing Qing". At this time, there were two envoys in the Kingdom of Korea, one was named Rhodexian and the other was named Li Kuo. Although these two participated in the Huang Taiji's enthronement ceremony in Shengjing, they always refused to perform the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to Huang Taiji. They also said: The Ming Dynasty is the suzerain of North Korea, and North Korean envoys cannot perform the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

It's unbearable. Huang Taiji couldn't bear it this time, and he wouldn't give him any face. Since that's the case, I'll deal with you and beat you to surrender.

So, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji, who was extremely angry, summoned the Eight Banners soldiers and 100,000 Mongolian elite soldiers to gather in Shenyang to attack Korea, Daishan, Dorgon, Duoduo and other generals to go to war, and North Korea began to panic.

As for the Korean army, they had never lost the war and never won the war. The Qing army fought all the way to Nanhanshan City. The city surrounded the city and the Korean army that came to serve the king were defeated one after another, and the Korean king had no choice but to surrender.

The Qing Dynasty forced North Korea to cut off contacts with the Ming Dynasty, and devoted itself to submitting to the Qing Dynasty, paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty. North Korea became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji was very happy: "Since the King of Korea knew that he had surrendered, I would not be sober of being harsh and harsh. In the future, I will be loyal and not forgetting kindness. I will not think about the past."

Although the Kingdom of Korea surrendered, abolished the Daming reign title, and began to use the Daming reign title, North Korea still remembered the Daming reign title. Although it used the Daming reign title for the Daming reign in diplomatic affairs, it still secretly used the Daming reign title in China.

Although it was conquered by the Qing Dynasty, North Korea still looked down on the Qing Dynasty. The Koreans called the Qing Dynasty the "hulu" and called the Qing Dynasty the war to conquer Korea the "Bingzi Rush" until the Ming Dynasty fell.

The two sons of North Korean King Lee Nee were taken to Shengjing as hostages by the Qing Dynasty. In Shengjing, the two princes secretly recorded what they saw and heard in Shengjing.

"The Qing lord asked for ginger and asked for one liter of ginger. On the 18th, the country sent three green bamboos to send to the yamen. On the 20th, the country sent five green bamboos to send to the yamen.

"The new green used in imperial medicine includes a large colored bamboo, and a large bamboo in the middle is like a large gun bar," he entered Beijing.

Green bamboo and ginger are traditional Chinese medicines that can clear heat and dispel poison, promote body fluid and stop bleeding, and are the main drugs for treating "epsymptoms". Since these plants are not produced in the Northeast, the Ming Dynasty blocked trade. Therefore, they had to ask for it from North Korea.

The Qing court later sought green bamboo and ginger from Korea for a long time, and it did not end until Huang Taiji died.

Fortunately, there is still a North Korea, otherwise, Huang Taiji's old nosebleeding disease would be cured.

At this time, Concubine Zhuang shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, send orders to North Korea and ask them to send medicine! If there is any delay, kill their prince to sacrifice to heaven!"

In addition to epistaxis, Huang Taiji also has symptoms such as wind dizziness, phlegm cough and other symptoms.

To put it bluntly, it means that you will feel dizzy, palpitations, nosebleeds, and in severe cases, confusion and convulsions. These are typical symptoms of hypertension.

According to historical records, Huang Taiji died of complications of hypertension. Moreover, Huang Taiji, who Zhu Cilang saw, was a fat man. This coincides with the records of a certain historical book.

Since Huang Taiji has high blood pressure, this is easy to deal with. Why not make his blood pressure a little higher?

Although trade had been banned between the Ming and Qing dynasties, many unscrupulous merchants who made money from the country still engaged in various trade activities with the Qing Dynasty in private. For example, the most famous one was the Eight Great Imperial Merchants.

At the critical moment of internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty, the unique sensitive sense of smell of merchants made them see the rise of the Qing Dynasty and the ambition to unify the world. Therefore, in addition to normal trade, they secretly sent military supplies to the Qing army, provided various information within the pass, and even started political transactions.

After the Qing army entered the pass, Shunzhi did not forget to enter the Central Plains for establishing the Eight Great Masters who had made great achievements. They held a banquet in the Forbidden City Palace, summoned them personally, and gave them clothes. At the banquet, Shunzhi wanted to give them official positions and reward titles, but the Eight Great Masters were flattered and tried their best to refuse. So Shunzhi named them "Imperial Shang".

Zhu Cilang had long wanted to bring these unscrupulous merchants to justice, but he had no time to take action. This time, Zhu Cilang suddenly came up with a wonderful idea.

For the time being, we will not move these profiteers for now. Instead, we will try our best to send some blood-producing food and drugs to Huang Taiji.

Isn’t your Huang Taiji high blood pressure? I will make your blood pressure higher. The higher the better, the higher the better.

...

Qifeng Mountain, Zhu Cixuan brought his troops to the battlefield where the Qi family army ambushed. The scene in front of him moved every Ming army soldier and respected him.

All three hundred Qi's army died on the way to charge. Some of them were stabbed several times, and some were separated, but everyone was surrounded by corpses and countless Qing soldiers' corpses.
