A Weird Theater That Started In London

The Weird Theater from London Chapter 97 Afterglow of Empire (8)

Get up from wherever you fall.

The last time they attacked Ulsan, the Ming army was defeated.

And this time, Ma Gui was not attacking from a single line. The other two Ming armies pinned the Japanese pirates in their respective defense zones, and Lu Li and Yi Sunsin's navy were watching. Therefore, this battle was considered a fair duel.

Ma Gui let the three generals Xie Sheng, Yang Deng, and Pogui serve as the vanguard, and took Wang Guodong to Ulsan to take the lead in attacking.

Then, other troops were deployed in Xinning, Yixing, Zuosuying, and Gyeongju, to guard against Japanese sneak attacks, and secondly, to appease local refugees.

Pan Ming was in the vanguard.

According to the letter, the generals leaped over the ruins and basins of Daoshan and rushed to Ulsan. After reaching Ulsan, the old trick was repeated. Wang Guodong and Pogui were ambushed on both sides. Fight back.

At first, Naoshima Naoshima, who was stationed in the city, heard about it and immediately ordered: "Consolidate the defense, you won't be able to fight to death!"

The Guandong general, who did not believe in evil, heard that the army was coming and was provoking outside the city. He immediately opened his eyes and became angry. He put on his armor, raised his troops, and killed him.

Lu Li speculated that the other party should know that this was a trap, but because he was unfamiliar with the situation and had self-confidence, he took the initiative to drill into it.

Later...they were besieged and destroyed.

In fact, his guess was not wrong, and there is another reason:

Internal consumption.

As a general of the Western Kingdom, Naoshimo Nabeshima couldn't watch it with his eyes, but the Kanto heroes who naturally tended to the Tokugawa family were different.

In the future, if the security is not complete, we want to meet with each other, how much we can fight now.

After a small victory, Ma Gui, who found out that the Japanese army also had reinforcements, was a little hesitant, but the morale of the actors was high.

In the early days, the leading officials were all cavalry and lacked siege equipment. Seeing that Nabeshima was dead and alive, he did not dare to leave the city.

After all, having had such a tragic experience as Dosan, the Japanese tried their best to repair Ulsan Castle, making it more difficult to attack than the former.

Several bright generals, including the actor, met to discuss and decided to build a siege vehicle while encircling it.

According to Naoshima Nabeshima's understanding of the Ming army, he thought that they would face each other for ten days and a half months, but he obviously underestimated the madness of the actor.

In fact, Xie Sheng and the others will revisit the old place, and they are very saddened.

Every morning every morning, the various ministries circle around Ulsan City as if they were doing radio gymnastics. Whenever the mood comes, they push the siege equipment up, and spoil the mentality of the Japanese defenders.

However, the actors collectively pretended not to understand, and the first sheep attack turned into a formal attack, a quick attack!

Qualified generals are supposed to take the lead, but how can they fight so hard so early?

This offensive...

Seeing Naoshima Naoshima's heart pounded.

Even so, he died at the hands of his son-killer, Pan Ming, and the two perished together.

Nabeshima Katsumo.

Naoshige Nabeshima.

Kuroda Nagamasa.

In addition, there are small bosses at all levels and hundreds of bottom warriors.

Sitting on the chair, Lu Li felt very stable after calculating the final exam results for his good friends.

"Is it a joy or death?"

Suddenly, an inappropriate word popped into my mind.

Looking at the commander-in-chief with a calm face and a little joy, Chen Lin couldn't help but wonder, and said to himself:

Could it be that there is another good news coming?

Or, which route needs reinforcements from the navy?

During this period of time, all the ministries have been familiar with the tactics of Japanese pirates and sailors, but there are only small battles, Chen Lin really wants to fight a battle!

Sensing that his deputy was looking at him curiously, waiting for the next text, Lu Li was helpless and said casually:

"The East Route Army has made some progress so far, and the thief Naoshimo Nabeshima was killed."

I can't tell the truth-

[Pan Ming has received a box lunch, I am happy for him]

Only the actor can do the absolute death. Of course, there is an important premise to complete the goal set in advance.

If not achieved...

Anyway, Lu Li really wanted to come back. He has lost nearly half of his strength. Not to mention the daimyo-level army commander, even some well-known Japanese generals, it is difficult for him to complete a single kill.

However, since there is still a heavy burden on your shoulders, you must not be passive. Let's see if there is any suitable goal, and then pull a big fish to support it.

From beginning to end, Lu Li never thought of another possibility:

He will live to the end.

After all, since the mid-term exam, I haven't had such an experience for a long time. Either I died suddenly, or I just ended up in a daze.

the other side.

The East Route Army was at a stalemate. With the arrival of support from the Kanto side, only Naoshimo Nabeshima, a remarkable great achievement.

And the battle situation of the Central Army...

Coach Dong Yiyuan galloped at a starry night. In a small town called Sanjia, he ordered his soldiers to rest for a while. He continued to lead the army early the next morning, and had already reached Nanjiang, approaching Jinzhou.

The Ming army all agreed that there was a big fish like Toyotomi Hideyoshi hidden here, so Dong Yiyuan was very active and cautious.

Even a veteran who is used to seeing wind and waves, faced with such temptation, it is still a little difficult to control himself, because the reward obtained by capturing the old monkey alive, or even beheading it, is no worse than Qi Jiguang!

Caution comes from reason.

As an existence that oppresses the Three Kingdoms, how could it be captured so easily?

According to the observation of the scouts, the main formation of the old devil is very likely to be located in Sacheon City, which is close to the sea, and Jinzhou is the northern gate of this place.

On the left is Kunyang, and on the right is Yongchun. These two villages are horns of each other, and together with Jinzhou, they form the outer defense line of Sichuan.

Not only that, but Sacheon City itself has Gimhae and Goseong as guards, and an unknown number of people are stationed there.

In addition, next to the old city of Sichuan, there is a Dongyang warehouse, which stores a large amount of grain and grass, and is also guarded by heavy troops.

in short.

The limited space from Jinzhou to Sichuan was filled with camps. There were eight large camps on the bright side, and they were connected to each other.

If it is said that the well-built Ulsan Fortress is won by quality, then the goal that the Central Route Army has to face is to have both quality and quantity.

Even if you take a step back and say that the quality is not good, the city alone is a sigh and tricky, and it has to use tens of thousands of lives to fill it.

"Jinzhou is next to the Nanjiang River. The defending city must guard the river. The Japanese are not stupid. Following the trend of the river, they built a whole row of small camps between Jinzhou City and the Nanjiang River."

"This formation is backed by Wangjin Peak, and the terrain is very dangerous. If we want to attack Jinzhou, we must first unplug this row of fences along the river!"

Inside the camp, the atmosphere was extremely serious.

All the generals from all over the world were staring at the map of mountains and rivers and listening carefully to the analysis.

The middle route army is the most powerful. If this first battle cannot be won, or if it is delayed for too long, it will cause a lot of bad influence.

Mao Guoqi, the general of the Zhejiang Army who had a dazzling performance in Daoshan before, was assigned to the Middle Route Army and could show off his skills.

At this moment, he carefully analyzed the situation and said to coach Dong Yiyuan in a factual tone:

"If you want to break Sichuan, you must first take Jinzhou; if you want to take Jinzhou, you must first break the Nanjiang Camp; if you want to break the Nanjiang Camp, you must first break the Wangjin Peak Camp."

"This is the key point in the Japanese army's defense. Once it is broken, everything else can be broken in series."

There are capable people under his command, and the coach does not have to worry about everything, so Dong Yiyuan directly asked him what method he wanted to use to break through the Wangjin Peak camp.

An inexplicable smile appeared on Mao Guoqi's face, and said mysteriously, "Shan Ren, he has his own plan."

You must know that war does not only depend on soldiers, generals, and logistics, but also an indispensable, but not well-known role:

spy.

In the past years, the Imjin Japanese rebellion could be suppressed, and patriotic spies were indispensable in it.

Who said that those who stand in the light are called heroes?

As early as when the Japanese used the power of the whole country to prepare for the invasion of China, Daming had already vaguely known about this.

Xu Sanguan, a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, Daming, made a living by doing business. As a result, he once fell into Japanese hands in the South China Sea, and was sold to Satsuma after several rounds.

Because of his medical skills, he rescued the younger generation of Shimadzu Yoshihisa's family by chance. Since then, he has been highly valued, and has been rewarded with beautiful women, money, and even a son.

However, this gentleman is naturally warm-hearted and patriotic. Although he is out of danger, every time he sees his compatriots being bullied by the Japanese, he grit his teeth with hatred and think about doing something for them every day.

When Hideyoshi attacked Kyushu before Hideyoshi unified the Japanese kingdom, Shimazu Yoshihisa was unable to resist the might of the soldiers, so he put on a cassock and opened the castle to surrender. When he went to see Hideyoshi, Xu Sanguan, as a retainer, also accompanied him.

When the surrender was negotiated, he suddenly stood up, changed the subject, and told his own experience, hoping that Hideyoshi would punish those pirates with a heavy hand in the future.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi appreciates this kind of boldness very much. It just so happens that the old monkey also intends to clean up the environment for his own maritime business.

This incident also made Shimadzu pay more attention to Xu Sanguan, thinking that he has great courage.

Nineteen years after entering Wanli, Xu Sanguan, who had a higher status, found that the Satsuma domain had become extremely noisy, and a large number of foreign warriors and Ashikaru appeared, depending on the banners of Honshu and Shikoku.

His keen sense of smell made him realize that something was wrong, because the Japanese kingdom had already been unified in form, and there was no reason for a large-scale war to break out.

There is only one way to use troops overseas!

The Japanese archipelago is isolated overseas, the nearest enemy is North Korea, and the Li Dynasty is a vassal state of Daming. Once attacked, Daming is bound to take action.

Out of concern, Xu Sanguan took advantage of his position to conduct a meticulous investigation secretly, only to discover that he had underestimated the ambition of the devil, and the little Japanese country actually had a big dream of swallowing the big Ming!

Therefore, out of that patriotic heart, he, who had already lived a life of fine clothes and food, resolutely decided to put his head on his trousers belt and began to do intelligence work spontaneously.

Gradually, the team expanded.

A man from Fujian Province named Guo Guoan joined in. This gentleman had a similar experience with Xu Sanguan and was abducted and sold to a foreign country. However, with his talent and quick mind, he became a junior officer in Satsuma Domain, commanding a group of Japanese warriors.

The two joined forces to describe the Japanese country in terms of military, history, life, etc., with more than 5,000 words, which gave Daming a reference to this strange and small country.

"Extreme Spirit Chaos"

Moreover, they also correctly calculated the exact time of the Japanese invasion, and sent the most trusted people back to China.

But there is no shortage of traitors in any era.

When Xu Sanguan was running around to collect information about the Japanese, he carried the little devil behind his back and acted very cautiously, but out of trust, he did not hide it from his own people.

A group of fellow villagers also from Huaxia stabbed in the back to inform Hideyoshi's cronie Asano Nagamasa in order to get a reward.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi heard this, he was furious. He was intent on conquering Daming, but someone came up with bad things. Moreover, he had been kind to the other party. He immediately shouted that he wanted to deal with this ungrateful bastard.

During his detention and trial, Xu Sanguan endured all kinds of severe torture and insisted that this was all planned by himself, without revealing the names of any partners.

And Hideyoshi old monkey also thought of the concoction method. At that time, the Toyotomi family made a few extra large iron pots, and ordered Xu Sanguan to be thrown into it and boiled to death.

Thanks to Shimazu Yoshihide, who missed his old love for a long time, he contacted another big man, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Hideyoshi's most troublesome and most fancy name, he has never been defeated by Hideyoshi on the battlefield, sitting on two million stones in Kanto, there are many generals under his command, and there are many vassals.

Under the rescue of Tokugawa, Xu Sanguan survived the disaster, but he was released to Satsuma Domain after only a symbolic plea.

After his return, the Shimadzu family still valued him very much and treated each other with courtesy as before, but he risked his death again and used his position to send one of his most trusted apprentices to Daming's special merchant ship.

Before parting, he and his apprentice wept together, and they both knew that they would never meet again in this life. Xu Sanguan wrote a farewell poem:

Every few weeks, Nanyu Ping makes her first tour.

He diligently instructed him to be loyal to the monarch, and he tried his best to exhort the pirates and enemies.

Knowing that you have returned to become Su Zijing, why should you return to Li Lingqiu?

If Shuangtai asks about what's in the dust, but the people of Daoism are still worried about suffering.

There are no gorgeous words, all of them are sincere, and full of Xu Sanguan's love for the motherland.

Throughout his life, he has never received any recognition from the Ming Dynasty, nor was he awarded an official or half-official position by the imperial court. All his sacrifices are spontaneous, out of his love for his own blood and simple feelings for his motherland.

This patriotic sentiment makes Daming officials ashamed, and those Chinese who stabbed in the back are not worthy of comparison.

Xu Sanguan, a commoner, suffered many hardships and finally lived a comfortable life in a foreign country. When he realized that the national disaster was imminent, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com risked his life to make a contribution without asking for anything in return.

This is something that should not be forgotten.

As for his apprentice, Zhu Junwang, who was originally from Fuzhou, carrying information, he lay on the bottom of the cabin to avoid investigation, and did not climb out for 40 days.

As soon as the ship landed, Zhu Junwang did not care about his physical weakness, so he immediately went to the local military sect Zhang Ruji and submitted the report to the Daming officials.

It introduces Hideyoshi's plan to invade the peninsula and the Ming Dynasty in detail, shows the road map of the march, the total force, the attitude of the Japanese vassals to this war, and provides strategies on how to fight against the Japanese pirates.

The imperial court praised: The prediction of today's events is exactly as stated in the deeds.

The people of Li Chao also echoed: The discussion on the use of troops by Japanese thieves is very important.

The latter even after the outbreak of the war, asked the envoy of the Ming Dynasty whether this Mr. Xu had any updates in the future.

And Xu Sanguan, Guo Guoan and others have always been active in the Japanese camp, staged scenes of thrilling espionage battles that took place in the 16th century.

The Zhonglu Army, the Zhejiang general Mao Guoqi relied on, were led by two people, the Ming people who were far away from overseas and had their own achievements.

For various reasons, these people, like duckweeds, had no choice but to become Japanese. They never set foot on their homeland again in the second half of their lives, but they dared not forget that they were born in Daming, and were willing to risk their lives to contribute to their homeland through various channels.
