Wanli 1592

Chapter 65 Unity of Opinion
After learning the news of the complete fall of Hamgyong-do, and the fact that the Ming cavalry had also been defeated by the Japanese, the North Korean rulers and ministers were inexplicably terrified. Had no choice but to continue to send higher-level envoys to the Ming Dynasty, requesting to send troops.

Of course the Ming Dynasty would send troops, otherwise why did they send those [-] cavalry to frighten the Japanese?

Although President Xiaoxi won the battle, he also knew very well that his country's logistics capabilities had reached its limit. The soldiers' iron cannons in his hands had become fire sticks, and there was no gunpowder and lead. Standing in Pyongyang is to not show weakness, and to actively seek the possibility of a negotiated solution to the war.

Japan, an island country, dispatched 20 young adults to serve the war, which has almost exhausted all the young adults that Toyotomi Hideyoshi can control. A large amount of land is uncultivated. The government can only order the remaining farmers who have not participated in the war to take care of more And the land cannot be made barren, otherwise it will be punished. Such a decree is tantamount to a reminder to those farmers.

From April to almost August, the savings accumulated before the war in Japan have been exhausted, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to squeeze the blood and sweat of the people.

Half of his world was fought and the other half was talked about. The actual situation of Toyotomi Hideyoshi is actually similar to that of Jiang Zhongzheng after the change of flag in the Northeast. Tokugawa Ieyasu is one of the biggest.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi has never defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu on the frontal battlefield, but he was only drawn after negotiations. How could these people willingly contribute their power?
So Hideyoshi is just fighting with half of Japan.

Under such circumstances, how good is the logistics of the front-line Japanese army?
Of course, the North Koreans are not much better. In order to prompt Zu Chengxun to attack, Liu Chenglong had already suffered from hemorrhoids and collapsed on the bed. Now if the Ming army goes south, the North Koreans must be responsible for the food. The North Koreans don’t know yet What kind of moth can come out.

Of course, it is not without good news. For example, in Jeolla Province, Kwon Su defeated Kobayakawa Longjing on land, and Yi Sunshin defeated the Japanese navy at sea. morale.

It can be said that without Kwon Su and Yi Sun-shin, the Korean War would have been even more difficult.

These news inspired the Koreans, and they urgently urged the Ming court to send troops to help them restore their homeland.

The increasingly urgent request of the North Koreans to send troops and the courtiers' eagerness to suppress the news to determine the candidate for the crown prince produced a huge contradiction, and such a contradiction took a turn for the better after the North Korean envoys cried all over the Beijing Yamen and won widespread sympathy.

Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, urges everyone to shift their focus from the national struggle to North Korea. If you don’t pay attention to the dangers that are close at hand, if the Koreans are completely wiped out, it will be nothing short of a disaster for Ming Dynasty. Japan will be able to directly threaten the land of the Ming Dynasty. It is the consistent principle of the Ming Dynasty to keep the enemy out of the country, and the country must not be ravaged.

Whether the country-base dispute will continue is still being debated, but Zhu Yijun's arrangement does not appear to be flustered at all.

At the beginning of August, Liaodong guerrilla Zhang Qigong led 1000 people to Yizhou, 500 people stayed in Jiulian City, Matou Shanjiangyantai, Tangzhan, Fenghuangcheng, Kuandian and other important border towns between China and North Korea also stationed 500 people. In addition, the long-awaited South Korean gunners arrived in advance with 3000 soldiers. They were all elite troops brought out by Qi Jiguang. They were led by Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi, the veterans of the Qi family army.

If you have to say it, the future Ming army's dispute between the North and the South has already appeared at this time.

But in mid-August, most of the generals of the Liaodong Army suddenly received an order to stop the assembly of the troops and return to the original stations of the various ministries.

At the same time, soldiers and horses from all over the country received transfer orders.

Before the whole army of Zhejiang soldiers gathered, they were all stationed on the bank of the Yalu River, and they were not allowed to enter North Korea without an edict. Chang Jujing, the governor of Zhejiang, received the order and urged the remaining gunners of the Zhejiang soldiers to speed up their march; Bing Li Wei suddenly received an order to dispatch the entire Ningxia Firearms Battalion to Liaodong to stand by; the governor of Shandong received an order to mobilize [-] Shandong gunmen to prepare to enter Liaodong; Xiao Daheng, the governor of Xuanda, dispatched Xuanda's elite bowmen Ten thousand crossbowmen assembled, ready to enter Liaodong.

Then send people to arrange food, grass and ammunition supplies for soldiers and horses from all over the country to march to Liaodong.

Xiao Ruxun’s memorial focused on the problem of bird guns and gunpowder. It is required that the bird guns must be usable. If they cannot be used, the production should be reduced to avoid wasting national money. All gunpowder needs to be filled in wooden barrels and sealed with oiled paper on the outside. Death, to ensure the dryness, North Korea is now in the rainy season, even if it is not at this moment to start a war, it is necessary to prevent the rain from dampening the gunpowder.

Zhu Yijun also specially ordered the Jinyiwei to dispatch people to investigate the manufacturing problems of the bird guns. This investigation really found out a lot of problems, which made Zhu Yijun sneer again and again—it's okay in normal times, but in times of war, there is a reason to deal with those gangsters. It's over!
Taking advantage of this war, do everything you wanted to do but couldn't do before!
Unify the opinions of the officials, mobilize elite soldiers from all over the country, and make full preparations, and the war is about to start!

In today's Ming Dynasty, the rebellion in Ningxia has been put down, and there is no longer the biggest obstacle, and the courtiers will be settled soon!

How did the North Korean envoy know who to turn to to cry?Where should I cry?That was all Zhu Yijun's idea!Those scholars often like to talk about righteousness, so this time, let's use the name of righteousness to crush those bastards to death!
The North Korean meeting on August [-]th, the opinions of sending troops to North Korea tend to be unified!

On August 29, the day before Xiao Ruxun was summoned by the Ministry of War, Shen Weijing, the big fool, arrived in Pyongyang and started his journey of fooling.

Shen Weijing, a native of Pinghu, Zhejiang, is a branch of the Shen family in Pinghu. According to his personal history, he served as a soldier when he was young, practiced medicine, worked as an aide under Hu Zongxian, and used tricks to poison Japanese pirates. He is half-experienced in Japan and an anti-Japanese hero, but has no academic qualifications and has Hu Zongxian involved, so he is naturally regarded as a remnant of the strict party and a lackey, and cooked.

In the 20th year of Wanli, Shen Weijing was already in his 60s, hanging out with a group of alchemists and rascals in the capital every day.

He is a professional liar, and he also possesses the two essential qualities of a liar: first, he has outstanding language skills and can speak eloquently; .

In fact, as early as the end of June, Shen Weijing had already visited North Korea once, but at that time the North Korean monarchs and officials were full of ambitions to counterattack Pyongyang, so naturally they could not let the so-called envoys of peace talks do bad things. Shen Weijing, after Shen Weijing arrived in Pyongyang, it is said that he showed his power and killed the Japanese severely, and won a fifty-day truce.

These fifty days played a vital role in the Ming Dynasty's deployment of troops and generals to unify their thinking. From this point of view, Shen Weijing, a big fool, made a great contribution, because when he was fighting with the Japanese, On August [-]th, Xiao Ruxun, who had been idle in the capital for almost three months and refused to return to Ningxia, finally received a letter from the Ministry of War.

Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, asked Xiao Ruxun to go to the Ministry of War for an interview.
