The temporary refusal to enter the customs was not because Huang Taiji was indifferent. He once again set his target on Phi Island and decided to concentrate all North Korean warships to attack Phi Island, thereby threatening Denglai.

This strategy of threatening Denglai has never appeared in history. Jiannu did not have a navy, so the Ming Dynasty threatened Jiannu from the sea.

This time Huang Taiji planned to use the North Korean navy to do the opposite and catch the Ming Dynasty off guard.

However, almost all Korean warships were destroyed by Zheng Sen in the past few months. Currently, there are only some small ships, which are merchant ships slightly larger than fishing boats.

Huang Taiji frowned when he saw these hundreds of small boats. He knew that it was impossible to threaten Denglai, and the only way was to capture Pi Island.

So one hundred merchant ships and 30,000 troops marched from Iron Mountain in North Korea to Phi Island.

Tieshan is very close to Pi Island and is most suitable for transporting troops to Pi Island. Huang Taiji estimated that one hundred ships and three round trips could transport all 30,000 troops to Pi Island for landing.

However, Huang Taiji clearly underestimated Shen Shikui of Pidao this time. As soon as their ship approached the beach of Pidao, more than 2,700 large and small artillery pieces on Pidao fired hard at Jiannu's small boat.

Huang Taiji was stunned. This was the first time in his life that he encountered so many artillery pieces firing at the same time.

In half an hour, more than 80 of the 100 small boats were overturned. The sea was full of floating planks and struggling Jiannu and Han troops.

In desperation, Huang Taiji had no choice but to withdraw his troops and cancel the attack on Pi Island.

As a result, the Battle of Pidao ended with Shen Shikui's victory, and Jiannu lost more than 13,000 people in half an hour, although most of them were Han troops and Koreans.

It turns out that in the last Battle of Pidao, almost all of North Korea's main warships and Jiannu's few naval forces were concentrated, but they were defeated by the real warships led by Zheng Sen.

After the war, Shen Shikui ordered people to salvage all the artillery pieces from the sunken ship and deploy them on Pi Island. Currently, the number of artillery pieces on Pi Island has reached 4,000.

As an old man of Pi Island, Shen Shikui certainly knew the threat Tieshan posed to Pi Island. He deployed more than 2,700 large and small artillery pieces on the other side of Tieshan.

As a result, Huang Taiji was caught off guard. Thinking of the scene of more than 2,000 artillery salvoes, Huang Taiji had nightmares. Within three years, Jiannu would not be able to threaten Pi Island.

Zhongcuigong

It was already dark, and under normal circumstances the imperial city would have been closed to entry and exit.

But today is an exception. Zhang Shize and Zhou Yuji are on duty on the tower in person. If there is an emergency, they can enter and exit the imperial city with permission.

Seeing Li Ruolian coming back, the two generals of the National Defense Army immediately ordered the city gates to be opened to let Li Ruolian into the city. Li Ruolian bowed his hands to them and left immediately.

Zhu Cihong hasn't rested yet, he is waiting for news about Li Ruolian and Yue Yang.

There were so many eunuchs and maids in the palace having problems. He knew that Yue Yang would not be able to complete the interrogation in a short time, but some results would come out.

Before Yue Yang came back, Li Ruolian entered Zhongcui Palace first. This was the first time Zhu Cihong met Li Ruolian after he came back.

Li Ruolian wants to investigate the case of assassinating the emperor. Once the case is concluded, Li Ruolian will apologize to the crown prince.

But he was worried that the crown prince would immediately remove him from his post and investigate him. In that case, he would die with his eyes closed. When he saw the crown prince, he would immediately prostrate himself and apologize:

"See Your Highness, I have seriously neglected my duty. Please allow me to complete this task, and then I will commit suicide and apologize!"

Zhu Cixiang already knew through other channels that the assassins came from outside the city. They took advantage of the chaos to enter the capital. Li Ruolian was always by Chongzhen's side.

Although he was negligent in this matter, the responsibility does not lie with him alone.

Zhu Cixi knew clearly that there were problems in the harem of his father, the emperor, and his mother, but he never took action, and he was also responsible.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong did not blame Li Ruolian:

"Ping Sheng, why did you commit suicide to apologize? I don't think you are guilty. Please tell me about the investigation."

The crown prince did not blame him, which made Li Ruolian very touched, and he hurriedly paid homage to the crown prince again:

"Thank you, Your Highness, the guilty officials have been investigated. Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen, Dingguo Gong Xu Yunzhen, and some civil servants such as Zheng Sanjun colluded with the White Lotus Sect to assassinate Your Majesty..." I like the Ming Dynasty, and the heyday started from the time when the prince supervised the country. Please collect it: (www.
