A Weird Theater That Started In London

【Spooky theater from London】【】

It takes time to grind.

This is the consensus of all generals.

Although they had already secured the victory without incident, it was precisely because of this that they had to be more patient, lest Honda Zhongsheng go mad and take away more soldiers and generals.

It is undeniable that in order to break through the city gate, the land and water armies filled in countless lives. Even the navy who had an absolute firepower advantage to suppress, with the assistance of the West Road Army, still killed more than a thousand brothers in battle.

In this case, let alone the troops Liu Wei used to take the initiative, several of them had already been established and destroyed.

In the same way, watching a famous samurai fall in a pool of blood, or, full of confidence to stop the enemy, but there is no news back, Honda is really sad, but he hopes that this state can be maintained longer time to last until reinforcements arrive.

Overseas.

Yi Sun-shin, who commanded the strongest fleet in East Asia, silently watched the Shuntian Wacheng. After Lu Li left with many of his generals, he became a veritable commander-in-chief.

The old general Deng Zilong did not have any prejudices. After being forced to accept the cruel reality that he could not go to the battlefield in person, he began to wholeheartedly support this Admiral Li—

Since he was a foreign minister and had legendary military exploits, at the suggestion of Chen Lin, after Lu Li wrote the letter, Emperor Wanli generously gave him a thick seal.

"Master Commander, there is a Japanese fleet coming from the sea, and it should be reinforcements to Shuntian."

Soldiers came to report.

Each fleet will arrange more or less reconnaissance ships to ensure that the surrounding sea conditions are under its own control.

At the beginning, seeing that the situation of the Central Route Army was unclear, Liu Wei found a pretext to abandon the baggage and negotiate. At the unanimous suggestion of Yi Shunshen and Chen Lin, Lu Li sent about fifty warships to the waterway that the Japanese must pass through to retreat to carry out possible outbreak tasks. .

Later, under the pressure of the supervisors, the West Route Army returned here and locked the Shuntian defenders again.

And those warships did not return to the team, but increased inspection efforts.

After all, Honda's position in the Kwantung Army is very high, and the total number of troops under his command exceeds 10,000. There is absolutely no possibility of being abandoned, so he must be careful.

Now, reinforcements are coming from Sacheon.

Because of the relationship between Admiral Dong Yiyuan and Tokugawa Ieyasu, they are currently in the honeymoon period, and the Central Route Army lacks warships, so they can easily come.

Nearly 500 large warships, plus some smaller ships of various types, are described as covering the sea, which is not an exaggeration.

"Prepare for the war and buy time for General Lu and the others."

Yi Sun-sin gave the order decisively.

For sailors who can take advantage of the tide and wind, it is not far from Suncheon to Sacheon, and they can arrive at night at the latest.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Ming army who were staying abroad took action one after another, strictly implementing the orders from the flagship.

This is the charm of Yi Sun-sin. In the original history, when they heard the bad news of his death, the Daming sailors threw the meat they finally got after the war into the sea to express their grief and respect.

Because after they entered the dynasty, the military disciplines were all managed by Yi Sun-sin, and the other party's clear style of reward and punishment won the respect of all the generals and officials of the Ming army.

The previous few small trials made this group of arrogant soldiers who dared to abuse Li Dynasty officials and make trouble after drinking in the royal capital admired him.

City head.

Lu Li, who temporarily placed the main formation here, looked at the large-scale mobilization of foreign navies from afar, and immediately guessed the specific situation without any special instructions. While urging his subordinates to rest, he waited for the messenger sent by Yi Sunsin to explain the reason to himself. .

"The Japanese Navy has moved."

Chen Lin nibbled on the raw and cold noodles, chewed it, and said, "Only in this way can Yi Sun-shin be so quick, take the first step, and stabilize the battle."

On the side, there is a treasured sword with a gap.

After all, the Japanese are not sheep, and there must be characters other than Honda Tadakatsu.

"We have successfully taken down the tower and established a firm foothold in the city, without the support of foreign artillery."

Lu Li only said this.

In the 16th century, the king of naval warfare in East Asia, Yi Sun-sin deserved his name.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about what to say, give absolute command and maintain full trust—

Almost by himself, he changed the direction of the last Imjin War. Before he was implicated in the party struggle, the navy he created has repeatedly defeated the strong by the weak, and abruptly dragged down the logistics of the Japanese army.

It is undeniable that during the chaos of Ding You, due to the incompetence of his successor, Li Chao navy became extremely weak and could not play a major role in strategy, but Yi Sun-sin still did his best for the country and gave life to the fleet again.

Will it follow the original trajectory and sacrifice it unfortunately?

Originally, he was on the edge of the storm and shouldn't be distracted by others, but Lu Li couldn't help sighing.

Without Yi Sun-sin, the outcome of the War to Resist Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea would not have changed, but victory would have been delayed by several years.

The luckiest thing a soldier can do is to be killed by the last bullet in the last battle.

A genius must be born at the right time and die at the right time. Perhaps in Yi Sun-sin's opinion, dying in the final naval battle is not necessarily a blessing.

"If I can kill those Japanese pirates, I will die without regrets."

On the way of the main fleet, Yi Sun-sin prayed to the sky, and just after he finished speaking, a meteor fell from the sky.

With his character and the inferiority root of the party struggle of the Li Dynasty, if he lived to the post-war period, he would be the same as last time.

In fact, whether it was Lu Li or Yi Sunchen, they all subconsciously tacitly agreed that after the battle of Shuntian, there would be no more large-scale wars.

[Conquering more than 221,500 soldiers from north to south in Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Lake, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Myanmar, more than 370 generals and officers, and more than 5,832,000 taels of grain and silver. Three million taels of silver were traded for rice, beans, and hundreds of thousands of dendrobiums of practical quality. 】

According to the official records of the original history, in short, the total cost of this war was 8,835,000 taels of silver and nearly one million dendrobium of rice.

After going through a series of reforms such as the examination of the law, the one whip law, and the Qingzhang Tianmu led by Zhang Juzheng, the financial problems of Daming have been alleviated, which can be called ZTE—

The household's annual income is 4,350,000 taels. After the income and expenditure are balanced, the annual balance is about 850,000 taels.

However, during the period, it must be ensured that there are no major disasters in the country, or the emperor does not do much construction and engages in things that waste the people and waste money.

That is to say, the war can only be supported if the government has a sufficient fiscal treasury to ensure that it does not lose money for ten years.

But the actual situation is not so ideal. Emperor Wanli's favorite King Fu, the wedding cost 300,000 taels, and the construction of the mansion cost 280,000 taels.

There are many bizarre and strange factors in this world, which is true, but the general environment has not changed.

This war caused Daming, who already had internal worries, to keep filling this big hole with the wealth accumulated in the early days of Wanli, and there was no benefit to be seen on the bright side—

Most of the courtiers and the so-called Qingliu believed that this matter had little to do with the Ming Dynasty, so their attitudes were extremely negative. At the beginning of the war, the Wanli Emperor and the Minister of War, Shi Xing, made it clear that they wanted to fight against Japan and aid Korea.

Of course, Shi Xing still couldn't hold on, and in the later stage he became a master and a faction, and neither side was able to please him.

Not enough money and food.

Extravagant teacher consumption.

Even if he was on the front line, Lu Li, the chief soldier, could still hear such arguments more or less.

Another reason is that a series of political events broke out in the Wanli Dynasty, such as the struggle for the country's origin, and the Wanli Emperor formed a confrontation with the entire outer court.

No matter right or wrong, no matter the pros and cons, as long as the emperor supports and leads the matter, the outer court and the Qingliu public opinion must oppose it.

As for how, who cares?

In order to defend against the enemy outside the country, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty threw their heads and shed their blood and died in foreign countries, but the rear opposed them for the sake of opposition, denying their achievements.

On the front line, the major factions calculated each other, seized power and made false accusations.

And the Japanese are willing to take the initiative to back down, is there any reason why An does not agree?

Although he didn't know what Yang Hao and Xing Jie thought, Lu Li could guess that they wanted to end the war with dignity, give the court a step down, and make the emperor happy to end this foreign war.

Hmm... Tokugawa Ieyasu also wants to be decent.

Don't want the princess from Daming to come to Japan to have a relationship, and don't want Prince Li Chao as a hostage, just give some souvenirs, so that it can be decorated.

But Dong Yiyuan said that he had no right to call the shots, so he had to ask Yang Jinglue and Xing Junmen for instructions, and hinted:

There is a high probability that there are no native products. You have to keep your posture low. You have had a bad experience last time. His Majesty the emperor who is far away in the capital is not so easy to deceive.

At that time, the diplomatic missions of the two sides and the big bosses behind the scenes worked together to create the first scam in East Asia.

At that time, Hideyoshi felt that he had not failed, and insisted on showing the seven articles, but he could make the person know the inside story. He met the Wanli Emperor at the Meridian Gate Tower, knocked to the end, and respectfully presented the forged "Guan Bai Jiang Table".

At that time, the Wanli Emperor looked down on his watch, and his tone was low, for fear of angering the attitude of the dragon's anti-scale, and he was very satisfied.

After all, he is rich all over the world, and he doesn't care about gold, silver and jewelry, so he needs to save face. Since Hideyoshi has given away the Japanese customs, then everything is easy to say.

Taking advantage of the joy in his heart, Wanli also enthusiastically asked the messenger Naito Anru a few questions.

Why invade North Korea?

Why don't you go after the defeat?

The answer is also very formulaic: Li Chao blocked our country's way of paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty and stayed on the coast, in order to ask His Majesty the Great Emperor to give him a reward.

In the end, the messenger Naito knelt on the ground and swore to the sky, saying that they would obey the will of the heavenly kingdom and make a change...

Wan Liyi was happy and extremely generous. Compared with Hideyoshi's whimsical Xiujitiao, he only made three requests:

1. All the Japanese return to their native land.

Second, seal Hideyoshi as the king of Japan, but do not allow tribute.

3. Eternal life and eternity shall not invade the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no punishment, no compensation, as long as you return to the pre-war state, and nothing happened.

As a result... the Celestial Dynasty was generous and organized a grand guard of honor to cross the sea and confer Hideyoshi:

Manglong clothes, jade belts, Yishan crowns, maps of the Ming Dynasty, seven books of the martial arts and other canonized gifts, a big flag was erected on the bow of the boat, and there were also two hundred and seventy-seven Liaodong horses.

But after arriving at the locality, Hideyoshi has been coaxed by his subordinates to the point that he doesn't know the east, west, north and south, where he thinks that he has lost the battle.

Naturally, he felt that the Ming Emperor had been convinced by him, and he was too lazy to welcome the embassy with a shelf, and even hung them on Fushimi Mountain without notifying the time and place of the meeting.

And then... a major earthquake occurred in Japan, and one thousand generals, one officer and four servants were crushed to death in the mission.

After some tossing, the meeting finally began.

Osaka Castle.

All the big names in Japan gathered together and waited for the canonization ceremony to start. The messenger Yang Fangheng stood in the middle with a jie, Shen Weijing, the traitor who organized the scam, accompanied him with a golden seal in his hand, and Xu Denggui, the guardian of the imperial edict, held his official life, imperial edict and Mianfu.

After a long time, Hideyoshi, who felt almost the same, slowly appeared and sat at the top.

At the same time, Shen Weijing thumped, fell to his knees, and kowtowed to the supreme ruler of Japan.

Yang Fangheng is stupid.

What's the meaning? !

In their hands, they held His Majesty the Emperor's ceremonial banner, representing the will of the Ming Emperor, and no one could afford their salute!

Why are Shen Weijing's knees so soft?

From this moment, Yang Fangheng, who had always felt that something was wrong, was determined to investigate, and Shen Weijing was also forced to do so. He and Xiaoxi and others joined forces to deceive Hideyoshi, saying that the Daming embassy was the one who surrendered.

As a subordinate, can I not kowtow?

In order to keep things from being exposed, Shen Weijing deliberately took a precautionary shot and talked nonsense in advance. Japan is different from Daming customs, and my colleagues in Jieshi looked at me and acted.

Therefore, this guy not only kowtowed himself, but also kicked the other messengers back and asked them to kneel together. Thanks to Yang Fangheng's not being stupid, he reluctantly took the lead and gave a salute.

This made Hideyoshi unhappy, and his mouth was dripping, which was obviously not a good word. The interpreter in charge of the communication also hesitated and refused to speak for a long time.

In such an embarrassing atmosphere, Governor Konishi quickly appeased Hideyoshi and calmed him down a bit, but Hideyoshi didn't bother to meet him again.

After the inexplicable first day, according to the schedule, it should be Hideyoshi who entertained the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to express his gratitude.

Therefore, the big names, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, all put on the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, and gathered in the palace to eat and drink together, and finally came to the main event—

Read the edict.

According to Hideyoshi's understanding, this is the Ming emperor who is like a lackey, servile and flattering to himself, and is most worth looking forward to.

Therefore, he changed the ceremony site to his favorite Hualu Villa, and let all the famous and generals witness the exciting scene together.

This round is played by President Konishi.

He wanted to play tricks and secretly change vocabulary and concepts. Yang Fangheng read and named Er as the king of Japan, and the interpreter translated it as "King Daming".

But the translator may be nervous, or maybe he has other plans, and even translated the edict of the Wanli Emperor, word by word, according to the most orthodox meaning.

[Following Er as the King of Japan]

[Gu Fan defends in the Celestial Dynasty]

…

The meaning is too clear. You are the king of a small country. You are optimistic about the gateway for our heaven and become a loyal dog. You must be grateful and abide by education.

For Hideyoshi, who has yet to wake up from his daydreams, this is a great humiliation, in front of so many great names.

So, he smashed the bright crown above his head, took the edict, tore it open in public, pointed at Yang Fangheng, the messenger who represented the will of the Wanli Emperor, and roared—

I rule Japan with Wuwei, why should I be named King of Japan by Ming? I wanted to destroy the Ming Kingdom, and the King of Daming begged for peace, saying that he wanted to enshrine me as Emperor of Daming in order to agree to negotiate, but now he deceives me with the title of King of Japan!

In the end, Hideyoshi forcibly endured it because there were too many big names involved in this matter. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

But Yang Fangheng was not stupid, he was throwing the edict and scolding, just like a crazy monkey. Although he didn't understand Japanese, he could make a general guess.

After investigation...

The monarch of the defeated small country mainly becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

Ridiculous!

Not only that, after the Japanese were defeated, they did not want to repent and restarted the war!

All the princes of the dignified Ming Empire have been deceived by a group of juniors for so many years. Those words of tribute are full of absurd farces, and the actions of canonizing ministers have become a joke.

"Sword Comes"

Since the change of Tumu Fort, the empire has never lost so much face.

Emperor Wanli was furious, and his ministers summed up three humiliations, four shames, five difficulties and seven things for him, adding fuel to the fire...

all in all.

Now, Daming doesn't want to fight anymore, but he must get his face back, whether Hideyoshi is dead or not, because this is a non-negotiable matter. If it is not resolved, someone will be liquidated by the court!

Yang Hao is all too clear. Don't look at His Majesty's quietness in recent years. That is because he is forcibly suppressing his anger. It will only explode when the army of the Ming Dynasty has won a great victory and the division has returned to the DPRK.

Before hitting the island by yourself, I made a terrible mistake, but I just passed the test by luck, can't I make up for it?

Completely smash the Japanese face!

Only in this way can we please the Dragon Heart.

Before tackling a problem with your tongue, though, let’s make a point with your fist.

Shuntian Wacheng, don't miss it!

Just as Lu Li believed that Yi Sunchen could buy time on his own, Yang Hao also believed in Lu Li.

When he was introduced, he would definitely reciprocate and give the other party the honor of being named in the history of the world.
