Chapter one hundred and ninety-eight victory in the first battle
.Chapter 198: The first battle won
As the saying goes, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. However, where there is resistance, it is not oppression, but suppression. Therefore, the Monkey King and other things were suppressed. While the three armies were conquering cities and territory in various parts of Korea, they also found that the combat effectiveness of the regular North Korean troops was not as good as the rebels organized by the powerful locals. Fortunately, these rebels were not large in size and were both independent, leaving opportunities for the invaders, either to be wiped out by the army or to run around the mountains. Before these people rose up, they were all local snakes on the side, and the paths were familiar. Although the Japanese pirates first arrived, they caught some guides, but the guides always looked for some long distances for these Japanese pirates to go, and the result was often beyond reach.
One hundred percent of the Koreans are the Korean nation. This kind of ethnic group is united within this nation. Even if everyone is not patriotic, they will put national interests first. There are few traitors like translators who are pseudo-guardians on Chinese TV. At that time, Commander Yang Jingyu of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army had large numbers of Koreans. By the way, Kim Il-sung was just a battalion commander under Yang Jingyu.
Ikeda Hengxing, who occupied both capitals of Kaesong Seoul, was also troubled by the rebels who rose up in the local area. If there were fewer people, they would definitely be eaten. If there were too many people, they would not be found. The local guides were not very obedient. In the end, Ikeda Hengxing had a plan and finally solved this problem. Ikeda Hengxing released all the prisoners in Kaesong Seoul, equipped them with weapons to form a force composed of Koreans, and completed the strategic policy of using barbarians to control barbarians.
First of all, the bureaucrats in the Korean yamen were not the kind of gentlemen like Hai Rui Bao Gong. This is similar to the Ming Dynasty in the upper country of the Celestial Empire. One is to have money to sue, and the other is to have people. Under this system, unjust imprisonment is inevitable. Therefore, a group of anti-social and anti-human beings gathered in the prison to hate the current ruler of the Korean Kingdom government. With these people leading the way to take the lead, Ikeda Hengxing finally gradually stabilized the rule of both capitals and nearby places.
After Ikeda Hengxing stabilized the place, he sent people to contact the other two armies to pierce the North Korean capital Pyongyang when he was preparing to encircle the iron arm of Pyongyang, suddenly he received news that North Korean King Xuanzong Li Feng had already taken a boat to sea and ran away on a boat. After all the people who spoke with weight ran away, now the group of snakes in Pyongyang have no heads and made a pot of porridge.
Heiki Ikeda slapped his forehead, "Damn it, I was confused recently by these rebels, and I forgot to block the Datong River. Maeda Keiji, you send someone to take over Pyongyang, remember, I will get 60% of all the gains."
Maeda Kyoji pursed his lips, 'Your Highness, you are not. I don't know, although Pyongyang is the capital, in my opinion, all valuable things must have been moved away.'
Yoshihiro Ikeda stomped his feet and told the truth, "Just. I knew they took away all the good things and asked you to go. Didn't the Kudo family claim to be able to squeeze out oil and water from the mud?"
‘Hey, Your Highness Ikeda, your official position is higher than me, but don’t slander. Our Kudo family has never used the people to slap them at a time.’ Maeda Kyoji began to tell lies with his eyes open. Everyone knows the true meaning of Kudo family’s deep rhyme. Every time he goes to the ground, he must first scrape three feet away, but the people are good at scraping. According to Maeda Kyoji, there is no good thing on the market, and the treasury of Kaesong and Seoul was also sealed by Ikeda Hsu. With his mind moved, it set a precedent for international people to rob. The model of robbing women by himself is already behind. In addition to starting a work group for women to Japan, Maeda Kyoji also bought stolen Korean women from other troops. Of course, the most valuable one is the virgin girl with good knowledge and dignified character. Although the old superior has retired, he has a lot of money and has not reduced his demand for women by a point.
‘Tell you the truth, the news said that the King of Korea was in a hurry and took away the queen and ministers of the third rank and above. Even the King of Korea's family left a lot. So, you understand.’
‘I understand.’ Maeda Kyoji thought about the eyes of the princesses, concubines, palace maids, and ladies from various ministers who had left behind in the Korean palace.
After leaving, Yokohiro Ikeda began to think about how to write this battle report. The results were still very brilliant. He occupied most of North Korea and the three most important capitals in less than a month. At present, only the defenders at Busan Port suffered a greater loss. However, since the fall of Seoul Kaesong and both capitals, the 80,000 Korean troops attacking Busan Port were cut off from the supply of the rear. The Korean troops, with great morale, immediately released sheep on the battlefield. Some of the cities retreating to Jeolla Do Gyeongsang Do, were led by Lee Sun-sin, the governor of the Jeolla Do Navy Army, organized a counterattack against the Japanese pirates. Some of them lost their salary and were directly dispersed or joined the rebels from various places. There was also a lot of calculations, but the Korean king actually ran away on a boat. In Ikeda Hokkien's view, there was no such king. If the Japanese emperor and general were not in a good way, they would also run away everywhere, but they had no experience of going abroad.
Maeda Kyoji was not wrong at all. This time, Xuanzong Lee Kyung heard that both of them fell, and Peace and Hamkyung were occupied, and they were completely disappointed. However, Daewon-jun, a veteran of the political arena, did not think so. Even if the entire territory of North Korea is occupied, it would be fine. As long as the Ming Dynasty is in one day, North Korea will not perish.
Under the leadership of Daewonjun, the princes and ministers and officials of the third rank and above collectively escaped from Pyongyang by boat. The ship was not too many people on board, but there were quite a lot of gold and silver goods. The bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty still knew the great appetite of Daewonjun, and the number of personnel was also amazing. First of all, the Five Temples, Honglu Temple, Taipu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Dali Temple. This is not enough to leave. The six ministries and three ministers, not to mention the six ministries, each ministries, must be fed, and two ministers must be fed. The Censorate, Hanlin Court, etc., also have to handle some things, and at least they cannot be allowed to speak bad things. This is just a bureaucratic system. As for the eunuchs in the harem, the Jinyiwei, as well as the favored concubines, the queen mother, and the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager, all must be covered. If they cannot feed them, they may have been arguing about sending troops to Korea in the court for several years, and in the end they cannot get the result.
Simply put, except for not having to give money to the Chinese emperor, everything else has to be given. This is still obvious. The saying that the little devil is difficult to deal with is just the right thing. If you want to give a gift to an adult, then his wife, concubine, housekeeper, groom, and gatekeeper must also be delivered. Although Dayuanjun brought tens of thousands of taels of silver when he fled with Emperor Xuanzong Li Bing, and antique jade crafts and famous calligraphy and paintings worth millions of taels in the palace, Dayuanjun always felt that these were far from enough.
Originally, North Korea was not so irresistible. Unfortunately, the elite troops in North Korea, including the imperial guards guarding Pyongyang, have gathered on the front line of Busan Port to repel Japanese pirates. Who would have thought that this was a poisonous trick used by Japanese pirates. The attack on Busan Port was just a trick to lure the tiger out of the mountain. After the elite troops from all over the country were drawn, the Japanese pirates actually made a blow in the middle, cut off the line of Kaicheng, Seoul, and cut off North Korea's retreat - blocking the Sino-North Korea border.
When the big ship escaped from the Datong River and came to the sea, Xuanzong Li Bing looked at the gradually distant Datong River from the stern of the boat and cried, "The foundation of our ancestors has been ruined in my hands. I am really an eternal sinner of the Li family." I was about to jump into the sea while crying. Fortunately, there were many loyal ministers around me. Although they usually formed cliques to attack each other, when this country was in danger, everyone still joined forces to hug Xuanzong Li Bing. "Don't be discouraged. Wei Chen was the swallow who had repaid his kindness and fought to death on the Jingyang Bell, and also asked the Celestial Empire to send troops to destroy the Japanese pirates."
Swallows repay their kindness and hit the bell is a story circulating among the Korean people. It is said that on the way to Beijing to take the exam, a big snake was about to eat a little swallow. The big snake was shot to death. As a result, when he was staying in a ruined temple at the foot of the mountain at night, the big snake's wife turned into a human form to come to take revenge. It turned out that the two snakes were husband and wife and had been practicing snake spirits for thousands of years. They were only one day away to become immortals. However, the male snake was so hungry during the day that he was shot to death when stealing the little swallow. The female snake spirit gave the young son a chance to say to the young son, 'Only
If the big bell on the mountain rings by itself before dawn, it means that God will not let the son die, so he will let the son go. But there was no monk on the mountain many years ago. How could it be that it could be ringing by itself? As a result, when the female snake spirit was about to kill the son, the big bell on the mountain ringed before dawn. The female snake spirit kept its promise and turned into a divine dragon. The young man went up the mountain to check it out, but found that hundreds of swallows died by hitting the bell were killed by the big bell on the mountain. Knowing that the swallow died in order to repay kindness and save himself, the son set up a grave for the swallow to worship.
This tells us that kindness is to do bad things. When someone suddenly falls beside him, he will immediately hide away. Call 120 and then be kind and righteous. If he is confused, he will be very upset. It is not about learning from Lei Feng, but about learning from Peng Yu and Li Kaiqiang. There is a kind of industry in the Celestial Empire that has been circulating for a long time, and the name is "bumping into a car". If it is a person, it is okay. If it is damaged, Bill Gates and Li Ka-shing will not be able to withstand such troubles.
After half a month of sea life, a group of princes and ministers of the Korean Kingdom, who went to sea to take refuge, finally arrived at Tianjin Port. After several official documents, they were sent to the Honglu Temple, which specializes in receiving foreign envoys. However, this was just the beginning of a unfortunate life.
Where is the Honglu Temple? It is specially used to receive envoys from foreign tributes. These foreign envoys and subordinates also brought some goods to do some small business and made a fortune. The old saying goes, horses are not fat without night grass, and people are not rich without wealth. Guan Honglu Temple also made some money and turned a blind eye to the in and out of private goods. However, compared with today, the money made in the past was small, what is the envoy? Now a king and a government team have come. How much oil and water does it take? The hair is not thicker than the waist of the roots. Before a group of people from Korea moved in, they were in charge of Honglu.
The officials of all sizes of the temple had already sharpened their sharp knife, and waited for someone to come and slashed him hard. They were not afraid of not being able to squeeze out oil and water, and they didn't give money. They only gave these princes and ministers a lot of steamed rice every day, and enjoyed the characteristic "farmhouse" of the capital four hundred years in advance to see who was in the end. There were also people who always had to go out to find someone to give gifts and plead. Giving gifts should not only bring a pair of shoulders and a mouth. At that time, the things found in the search can be called prohibited items for confiscation. Whether this is a prohibited item is not what the word "official" says. The officials of the Celestial Empire have always reserved the right of final interpretation.
As a result, the Korean king and his group of people complained every day when they arrived at Honglu Temple. When the man left, he memorized his words and drank cold water and stuffed his teeth. According to Daewon's calculations, the money and gifts he brought were not enough to give gifts. How could he have the money to exploit these Honglu Temple officials every day. Even if the king and the queen could endure some hardships and make some kimchi, rice and soy soup for themselves, the money for the princes and ministers who came in and went out to give gifts and pleaded with each other every day was indispensable.
In order to save money, these ministers from North Korea who gave gifts and pleaded with thoughts of many ways. They rented a yard outside and put some of the gifts they were scheduled to be given inside. In this way, they saved money to spend money when they came in and out. When they went to see the officials, they waited for the meeting to scatter at the door of the official's house, just to save some money. This trick made many people angry. There is also a good news that Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, only received two gifts, and agreed to plead for North Korea in the court, send troops to fight against Japanese pirates in the east, and recover the three capitals. Gao Gong, who was also the Minister of Rites, was also the Minister of Rites, only symbolically collected a famous painting and agreed to the incident of the Korean envoy sending troops to North Korea to expel Japanese pirates.
Seeing that the better things are developing step by step, the imperial court also made the expulsion of Japanese pirates the first priority to discuss. Isn’t it just a few thousand Japanese pirates? Isn’t it a matter of giving a memorandum to the Liaodong Governor. (These Korean envoys did not see many Japanese pirates with their own eyes, but they knew that there should be tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, but if they were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, the weight of the gift would be greatly increased. This is also the way to save money by the Korean ministers, and the number of Japanese pirates was reduced by one zero at once.)
Just as the memorial sent to the Liaodong Governor 600 miles was still halfway, the memorial sent to the Liaodong Governor Hao Jie reached the capital with an urgent eight hundred miles.
The deputy general of Liaodong, Zu Chengxun, and the general Dai Chao, Shi Ru, led 6,000 troops to recover Pyongyang, crossed the river on the Yalu River before forming a formation, and was attacked by tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, and suffered heavy losses. The general of Liaodong, Dai Chao, was missing, Shi Ru, died in battle, and the deputy general of Zu Chengxun only took his personal soldiers to break out. Most of the more than 5,000 people crossing the river were killed or captured, and only a small number came back swimming.
As expected, a official document was shocked. For a moment, the temple was shocked, and many ministers who were not determined enough or who thought they had received too little gifts began to oppose the dispatch of troops to Korea. What I heard before was that only thousands of Japanese pirates invaded the territory and occupied the Erdu of Kaicheng, Seoul City. Now there are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates on the natural danger of the Yalu River. No matter how you look at it, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates in the territory. How can this be done? You must know that the ministers of North Korea have sworn that there are only a few thousand Japanese pirates, so how can they receive a gift of cabbage, but they have to make shark fin for others to eat. How many gifts are received and how many things are done? This is the reason why many years have been left behind. Maliciously suppressing the market and low market conditions, such as harming others and oneself, and our gentlemen in the Celestial Empire will never do it.
This was a coincidence. After the defenders of Xinyizhou were disbanded by the Japanese pirates, the water-proficient guards swam across the Yalu River to ask for help from the governor of Liaodong Hao Jie. The Japanese pirates rushed into Xinyizhou at night. This guy didn't see many Japanese pirates, but he thought that hundreds of Japanese pirates were still there. The governor of Liaodong didn't care, and simplified the matter. He just thought that a group of hungry Japanese pirates came to grab kimchi from Xinyizhou and ordered them to be handled by the general of Liaodong Li Chengliang. Lord Li Chengliang made outstanding achievements in fighting these hundreds of Japanese pirates is of course a piece of cake, but everyone knows that big people are usually very busy. Li Chengliang's family has more than 2,000 beauties. These beauties spend thirty or forty taels of gold a day. Even if Lord Li Chengliang can be flirted with, he will be favored seven days a day.
Yes, it will take a year for more than 2,000 people to favor. When he saw that there were only a few hundred Japanese pirates, he sent them to the deputy general Zu Chengxun. The deputy general Zu Chengxun didn't think much about it, and ordered the troops of his headquarters to cross the river. The six thousand army had just crossed the river and had not yet formed a formation. Japanese pirates several times the Ming army came from three routes. Zu Chengxun was on the last batch of crossing the river. Seeing that the form of encirclement and annihilation could not be reversed, the ship did not dock, and immediately flew to the other side of the Yalu River. Finally, relying on this rule, the rule of the Heavenly Dynasty, if it escaped, the largest official officer would follow the first batch. If it was to advance, he would have to go to the last batch. Among them, there were also brave generals who were rushing to charge at the forefront when they wanted to advance, but without exception, they were shot into a hornet's nest.
Of course, the surprise attack on the Ming army was done by the general of the Western Route Army, Monkey Hashiba Hideyoshi. Since occupying Shinyiju in Peleando, Monkey has not focused his attention on Pyongyang beside him. In the eyes of Monkey, Pyongyang is now a woman who is naked and can go to any time. However, the Ming Dynasty opposite is different. Although it is also shiny, it is a giant bear. Monkey has devoted himself to the defense of the Yalu River. However, there is no big deal in this era.
The gun was blocked, and the monkey made a small number of secret whistles to investigate the riverside. The army hoarded them around the river to cultivate near several cities along the river so that they could assemble troops at any time. After waiting carefully for half a month, they finally gained something, annihilated more than 1,000 Ming army and more than 3,000 prisoners. Of course, the report to His Highness, Taizheng, was to capture 5,000 prisoners and annihilated more than 20,000 Ming army. This was also beneficial if it was far away, that is, the battle report could be filled with water at will, and there was no fear of being slandered.
As for those prisoners, the monkeys sent them to mines to work as coolies. North Korea had rich mountainous mine industries, and South Four Paddy Roads had abundant plains and paddy fields, and grain production was abundant. This is also the reason why the North Koreans would go hungry as soon as the NATO group led by the United States blocked North Korea.
