Chapter 417: The Goryeo War officially began
The secret actions of the Japanese invaders, even the officials and merchants and secret guards of the empire, secretly covered up for Dongying.
It was only when Dongying's 50,000 samurai and 50,000 sailors appeared at the Busan pier that the Goryeo Kingdom began to discover the intentions of the Wako.
There were only 20,000 sailors and 20,000 infantry in Busan, and the Goryeo had already lost in numbers. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Koreans were even less able to compare with the Japanese samurai, so Busan completely fell in half a day.
The Japanese who occupied the city immediately rejoiced in the whole city, but fortunately, the sticks were very well-behaved, and the Japanese did not go on a killing spree.
Busan fell, and a large number of Japanese invaders began to land in a steady stream.
By the time the news reached Seoul, the Japanese had landed 150,000 horses, and the Goryeo army had not even been assembled.
Goryeo Royal Palace.
"General Jin is in charge of the east coast, why didn't there be any movement before the Japanese invaders." As soon as he came to the main hall, the king of Goryeo asked angrily.
Jin Zhiqiang knelt down with a depressed face: "Your Majesty, Dongying also cut off the trade between the two countries like the empire a few years ago, and the merchants of the three countries are trading in the islands off the coast of Jinzhou!" Presumably, at that time, the Japanese began to block the news! The last general asked the Busan Admiral to be on guard to investigate, but there was no news coming! ”
After Jin Zhiqiang finished speaking, the king of Goryeo couldn't say anything: "Hmph! The Admiral of Busan has been killed! Don't worry about how to defeat the Wakos! ”
Prime Minister Zuo also immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is the battle of the Japanese invaders, please order the whole country to form an anti-Japanese group!" ”
This! Armed militia groups are the easiest way to cultivate local warlords! The king of Goryeo was also in a dilemma!
Prime Minister You also smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy and Army are all invested in the west and the South Seas, presumably this is also the reason why the Japanese are unscrupulous!" I'm afraid that the Japanese really have the intention of destroying the country! ”
Destroy the country! The king of Goryeo could only sigh: "Prime Minister Zuo passed on the royal order!" Let all cities and villages form militia groups! ”
"Honorable Order." Prime Minister Zuo received the order excitedly, and the future of military power is also promising.
Park Zhendong could only say nothing, and the establishment of the militia also threatened the power of their generals family, but with three or four hundred thousand main soldiers, they really couldn't fight against Dongying's Japanese robbers!
Big words can be blown, but none of the three Koreans can kill a single wolf, and the main thing is a matter of courage!
It took time for the militia to be formed, and now everything depends on the main army.
"General Park, immediately let Park You gather 200,000 troops to go south, and let all the northern troops evacuate the Yalu River!" The king of Goryeo said bitterly that if they did not break with the empire, they could still ask the Han army to help in the war. Pity!
200,000 Northern Army! But Park Zhendong still doesn't have much confidence! "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you still need to ask for help! In case the Japanese really come to the country, even if there are only 200,000 Japanese invaders, it is not something that more than 300,000 regular soldiers can resist! ”
What they didn't know was that the shogun had already prepared 300,000 land and water troops in advance, and was preparing 200,000 reserve troops in the future.
Ay! The king of Goryeo endured the bitterness and nodded lightly: "Don't worry, Lone will send a message to the empire immediately!" ”
It's a pity that the messenger still has to go to Jinzhou to let Feiyan send a message back to the imperial capital.
In fact, the empire already knew, but it was silent.
A few days later, by the time the 200,000 northern troops arrived in the south, the south had been completely occupied by the Japanese invaders, and nearly a third of the land had been swallowed by the Japanese invaders.
The general of the Honda family laughed: "Haha, these Koreans are just rubbish. ”
The 100,000 Goryeo army was defeated in the first battle, and the cities in various places fled in despair, otherwise the Japanese would not be able to kill the front line of Cheonancheng in a few days.
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded with a faint smile, and his eyes were also eagerly looking to the north: as long as we cross Suwon again, our army will be able to threaten Seoul.
As soon as the 200,000 northern troops arrived in Pyeongtaek, they also had to stop.
"Damn! How could it be! "Inspector Park is panicked!
"Master Park! There are at least 300,000 land and water troops, and they attack in three directions, and they can't resist at all! The chief soldier of Tian'an said in a panic.
Pu You is also knowledgeable, and after walking around with Henkel, he also learned a few tricks.
"Generals, immediately dig up all mountain roads to build trenches and earth and stone formations, and you must defend the main peaks everywhere! Let's wait for reinforcements in Mizusawa! "Without an army of four or five hundred thousand, Park You will not dare to attack. Not to mention 300,000 widows, even if it is 100,000, he can't resist for long!
Cheonanseong.
At this time, there were 50,000 samurai and 50,000 ashigaru in the front army, and most of the men and horses of this forward army belonged to the strongest firearms army of the shogunate.
Izuru Watanabe checked the movements of the northern army of Goryeo, and also frowned and hurried back to the camp.
"General, this commander of the Northern Army of Goryeo is really not simple! He asked his subordinates to dig up the big and small mountain roads! There are also ambushes in various peaks! ”
After Watanabe finished speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu also nodded: "It seems that we have met the strongest division in Goryeo!" We don't want to attack hard! The order was given to all 150,000 troops in the rear army to detour to Yeongju and go straight to Suwon City. ”
"The general is brilliant." Watanabe also immediately patted on the back.
Tokugawa smiled lightly and nodded: "General Honda, tomorrow you will lead 20,000 samurai to challenge the Goryeo Army, and you can't make it so easy for them." ”
"Honorable Order." Honda frowned and nodded! This general has bad intentions!
It's not a good thing to have 20,000 people challenge the 100,000 horses on the main mountain road.
The temporary halt of the attack by the Japanese also made Goryeo a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese are gathering in Yeongju, and they must be going to make a detour to Suwon, so as to encircle and annihilate the elite of our northern army." Park Jindong frowned and said.
The Northern Army was the main force of Goryeo and could never be destroyed. The King of Goryeo thought for a moment and nodded! "General, you immediately lead 100,000 soldiers and horses around Seoul to Wonju City, and all the militia groups in various places are under the command of the general!"
After sending a large army, Goryeo was left with only 30,000 royal city guards and 40,000 sailors. The military service in various counties is even inferior to the militia formed by peasants.
For the sake of the safety of Seoul, Park Jindong did not shirk and directly received the order.
Just when the Goryeo Kingdom was about to fight, Emperor Lee also received a letter from the King of Goryeo.
After reading the family letter, Xinna was also very embarrassed!
At this time, Chen Xiong also intended to rush back to the harem, and he also knew that the message from the Goryeo Kingdom had arrived.
"Husband, you should know too, right?" Looking at the emperor's expression, Xinna had already thought of all kinds of possibilities.
Chen Xiong nodded: "Last year, the empire already knew the meaning of Dongying!" The pirates were ambitious, and they had always wanted to set foot on the mainland. ”
Xinna nodded, the confrontation between the Wako and Goryeo has been going on for thousands of years! If it weren't for the division of the Japanese Kou, Goryeo would have been destroyed for hundreds of years.
"Husband, how are you going to deal with it? Does the Empire still draw troops? "In the Great War in the West and Southwest, the Empire also mobilized nearly a million people! This is also what the emperor is worried about!
Chen Xiong smiled lightly and nodded: "The First Army of Yanhuang, the Second Army, the Third Army, the Eastern Han Army, the Northern Han Army, 300,000 people can go north, but there is a shortage of ordnance materials!" At least next year, the empire will begin to move eastward to destroy the Japanese. ”。
Of course, if Chen Xiong issued a mobilization order, the empire could still send troops, but this would prevent the development and construction of the empire. Now that the Goryeo army has not perished, and the Japanese have not been damaged, it is not suitable to send troops at all.
Xinna doesn't care about state affairs, and she can only try to preserve the Li clansmen.
