Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 79 Teacher’s warning

"I, Ishida Mitsunari, will definitely run errands for Taiko and capture North Korea in one battle. Then if the Ming Dynasty dares to come, I must fight them back." Ishida Mitsunari said.

"When I enter the imperial court this time, I will stay in Osaka Castle, and the frontline will be entrusted to the generals. Thirty percent, the nine legions we plan to form are basically the base for the imperial expedition. Although there is also Tokugawa Ieyasu as the leader The princes of the Eastern Kingdom, but they will not be asked to go there unless it is absolutely necessary. First, there are not so many people to share the military merits of this expedition. Second, if more people are sent, the supplies will not be able to keep up. . The army crossing the sea must also fight quickly, and in the future, it will have to rely on food locally. Although Jiugui Jialong is the commander of the navy, he has other tasks, and it is impossible to help the army transport supplies all the time. And if it becomes clear later If the country transfers navy support from other places, our ships will also be in danger." Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered.

"I understand," Ishida Mitsunari replied.

"When the army sets out, you will be responsible for the army's logistics and keep an eye on the generals. It is impossible for me to go out personally for this expedition and I have to sit in Osaka Castle. It is also impossible for Tokugawa Ieyasu to be the commander. Commander, even if I am relieved, you will not be convinced. Even if a commander-in-chief is elected, it will only be in name only. It will be your job to coordinate these nine armies." Toyotomi Hideyoshi said.

"My subordinates must clarify the rules established by Taipa and urge all armies to move forward as scheduled and capture North Korea." Ishida Mitsunari said.

"This book "Fifty Years in the World" is really well written, but it's a pity that there are still many slanderous words in it. I wonder if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would send his Hanlin to North Korea. If so If you can catch him, don’t kill him, and send him to Osaka. I will let him write this book again, and then write a thick book of great achievements for my Toyotomi family." Toyotomi Hideyoshi said.

……

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei was already having a night chat with his two students in Uncle Ning Yuan's mansion.

"I really didn't expect that Zhang Shidu was so young and a person who had returned from Nanyang. His knowledge and experience lasted longer than I expected." Xu Wei said with emotion.

"Teacher, now that you have seen Zhang Shidu, you can forget about your wish." Li Rusong said as he handed over a bowl of white fungus porridge, "It's not dinner time yet, teacher. Eat some while it’s hot.”

"Let's leave it alone for now. It doesn't matter what my old man's wishes are at such an old age. The teacher is worried about you and Rubai," Xu Wei said.

"Teacher, what happened to Rubai and me?" Li Rusong was a little confused.

"You and Rubai are going so smoothly. There are some things that you may not understand very well, or you may not know enough. Rusong, don't rush to refute me yet. I know that you will definitely not be convinced if I say this. Of course, Although Rubai didn't say anything, he was actually even more unconvinced in his heart." Xu Wei said.

"Teacher, tell me, we two brothers will definitely listen attentively." Li Rubai said.

"You don't need to listen carefully to what the teacher said later, and I don't need you to remember it. Anyway, I am already this age as a teacher, and if I don't say some words, I won't have the chance to say them. If you hear it, you can have some insights. If only If you still can’t understand it yet, or you think what I’m telling you doesn’t make sense, I would like to ask you to be more careful in the future.” Xu Wei said solemnly.

"Master Xu, Rusong will definitely remember it. Please teach me carefully," Li Rusong said. "Like pine trees, like cypress trees, I do not deny that you are all warriors who are good at conquering and fighting, and have made great military achievements. However, in my army of the Ming Dynasty, there are many warriors who are also good at fighting, but their family backgrounds are Generally, if you lose the battle by accident, or if you help your boss take the blame, you will never have the chance to stand out. Rusong, you are good at fighting. At the beginning, you followed Ning Yuanbo to charge into the battle, and you were promoted along the way. Now you are also deeply involved in the battle. You are trusted by His Majesty. So over the years, although there have been some twists and turns in the officialdom, as long as His Majesty trusts you, these are all big or small things, and that's it."

"But it won't be the case if we get to North Korea. North Korea and the capital will be far apart by then. Although the Japanese will definitely not be able to fight as well as our great tomorrow's soldiers, there will inevitably be casualties and setbacks on the battlefield. Once there is a small enemy on the battlefield, If there is a setback, there will definitely be a memorial of impeachment in the court. Don't think that it will be okay if you can win the battle. To support the Japanese armies, the strong men from the Beijing camp and the elites from the towns on the nine sides will be selected. Maybe they will also There are elite soldiers from the south and even chieftains. When the time comes, all armies will compete for credit. If you are not careful in dealing with Rusong, you will be labeled as ineffective in running the army, rushing to gain credit, or even abandoning friendly troops. This ink text is also You can kill people." Xu Wei said.

"Teacher, the imperial court has regulations on how to distribute the military merits. Every military meritorious service is based on their own abilities. You can't blame me." Li Rusong said.

"It can't be that simple. Tai Shigong said: 'Everything in the world is for profit. Everything in the world is for profit.' There has been no major war in the imperial court for many years. Among the military generals in the imperial court, none of them wants to be appointed as a general. Who doesn't want to be named a marquis and leave a name? When the time comes to compete for military glory, and there is no fighting, it can be regarded as strict military discipline. This is still a victory. If you accidentally lose, or let the enemy escape, then the military law will be dealt with, that is You will lose your head. Rusong, on the battlefield, do not underestimate any enemy. I know you must think that the Japanese are not as good as the Mongols, and even their combat power is far inferior to that of the Jurchens, but the Japanese are definitely sending out their country this time. The best soldiers and generals in the country have been selected. The so-called bees are poisonous, and the Japanese are more powerful than bees no matter what." Xu Wei said.

"The student has taken note. This time, the student will still lead the cavalry himself. If he can fight, he will fight. If we don't fight the Japanese for the time being, we can't stop me, Li Rusong." Li Rusong said with confidence.

"That's all, things are different now, so it's okay for the old man to tell some stories. Rusong, do you know about General Yu's imprisonment in the past?" Xu Wei said.

"The teacher is talking about the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Zongbing, who is also known as Yu Long Qi Hu along with Qi Shaobao?" Li Rusong asked.

"That was General Yu. In order to quell the Japanese pirates, Hu Shaobao personally recommended General Yu to be the general. But later when the Japanese pirates besieged the brigade, the imperial army could not conquer them for a long time, so Hu Shaobao relaxed the encirclement out of selfish motives. A few, which allowed the Japanese pirates to break through. Later, the court blamed him, and Hu Shaobao threw all the blame for the Japanese pirates' breakout on Yu Zongbing. Yu Zongbing was about to go to jail, but he was able to avoid prison in the end because of favors. " Xu Wei talked about the past with a solemn expression.

"There is such a story." Li Rusong was a little surprised.

"I have been traveling for so many years. When I was young, I felt that I was quite talented. I also lamented that I was not lucky enough to meet my fate. Now think about it, if I really became famous in the imperial examination, what kind of official would I have become? With my dissolute appearance back then, I am afraid that I will not be the best one now. It has been buried for many years. Rusong, you have to remember that if you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. Even if you have His Majesty's trust now, you must be extremely careful as a minister and a general." Xu Wei said.

"Teacher, the student has taken note of it." Li Rusong agreed.

"Ru Bai, when Tao Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was banished to Lingnan, he didn't dare to slack off at all. He moved bricks every day to maintain his body and will. Now is the time to make contributions and make achievements. You can't miss the important event of establishing a country and making your name in history because of drinking and sex." Xu Wei then said to Li Rubai.

"Teacher, Rubai has made a note. From today on, Rubai will stop drinking and practice martial arts." Li Rubai also expressed his stance.
