Chapter 1 The resurgence of the storm and the beginning of December of the fourth year of Longqing, the Yalu River in Kanto.

"Your Majesty, get on board quickly." Wearing a hat and wearing a wide official uniform, North Korean Prime Minister Ri Futong said with a panicked expression. I saw that he was dressed in a messy official robe, and at first glance he looked like a refugee fleeing from the famine, and no one could have imagined that this was the dignified Prime Minister of North Korea.

The king of North Korea, Li Xun, who was standing beside him, also looked like this, and what was even more unbearable was that he was trembling all over, and his face was bloodless.

"Ah, this ...... What kind of ship is this? Looking at the dilapidated small fishing boat in front of him, Li Zheng, who had been pampered for many years, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are guilty, and you have been wronged." Hearing this, Li Futong's eyes couldn't help but moisten, if he hadn't endured it, he would probably have cried bitterly at this time.

"Your Majesty, the chasing soldiers are not far away, and our three thousand palace guards are afraid that they will not be able to resist for a long time, so let's hurry up and get on the boat and cross the river." Seeing that Li Xun didn't move, Li Futong couldn't help but say anxiously.

Thinking of the murderous widows, Li Xun couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't care about the tattered fishing boat in front of him, so he lifted up his clothes and said hurriedly: "Quickly help the widow get on the boat and cross the river." ”

The two personal guards who accompanied him rowed hard, and the small fishing boat flew out like an arrow from the string, so frightened that Li Xian's eyes were closed, and he grabbed Li Futong beside him fiercely.

"Yaga, go find the boat!" Taro Miyamoto, who led his troops to annihilate the palace guards of the three thousand Joseon kings, watched the river get off the boat, and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Your Excellency General, crossing this river is the border of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is a boat, you can't chase it, otherwise it will cause a dispute, and it will not end well." The generals were a little embarrassed.

It would be possible if there were boats on the shore to catch up with them now, but there were no boats on the left and right to wait for the ships to be found, so I am afraid that the king of Joseon would have reached the other side.

"Smack! Syllable! "Two clean slaps, this one will be directly knocked to the ground." Eight Grid Tooth Road, the warriors of the empire have never been afraid of anyone, and the land of the Ming Dynasty will also be ours in the near future! ”

Having said that, Miyamoto Ichiro also knows that now is not the time to start a war with the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, after all, he has just occupied the entire territory of Korea, and the most important thing at the moment is to pacify all the resistance forces in various places. After the DPRK is fully controlled, it is possible to plan the capture of the Ming Dynasty.

"Set up camp and strictly prevent the Ming army from crossing the river." Leaving these words, Miyamoto Ichiro snorted coldly and strode away with his katana.

"Bold and daring, you dare to occupy my Ming vassal country, you really deserve to be killed!"

When the news of the collapse of Korea and the escape of Prime Minister Li Futong to Kanto reached the capital, Emperor Longqing, who had been happy every day, was furious and slapped the table in front of the four cabinet ministers.

"The emperor is angry, the king of North Korea Li Xun has entered the customs, and he will arrive in the capital in a few days, and the specific situation will be determined by him." Seeing that Emperor Longqing was so excited, Gao Gong hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

The fall of the entire territory of Korea was something that no one expected. Some time ago, when I received their request for help, the cabinet was still debating whether to send troops to help, but I never imagined that in less than a month, North Korea would completely fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders. If it weren't for the escape of the king of Joseon, Li Xian, it would be regarded as a dead country.

"Mr. Gao, this matter teaches me how not to be in a hurry. A few years ago, this Japanese invader harassed the maritime frontier, and it took so much effort for the imperial court to calm down, but it has only been more than two years, and the Japanese invaders have occupied my Ming vassal country, is it tolerable or unbearable, if it can't be repulsed, where is the majesty of the Celestial Empire? ! Emperor Longqing was furious, and he hated the Japanese Kou so much that his teeth itched.

Gao Gong also scratched his head for a while, why didn't he want to directly send troops to North Korea to quell the troubles. But now that the imperial court has just gained some complexion, once it is unfavorable to fight in Korea, then this good situation will be dangerous.

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that troops be sent to North Korea immediately. First, if the ambition of the wolf is not punished by a lesson, I am afraid that there will be a desire to spy on my Ming territory. Second, North Korea is a subject country of our Ming Dynasty, and everyone in the world knows it, if the imperial court ignores this matter, I am afraid that the surrounding subordinate countries will have different thoughts, which will really have a great impact on the majesty of our court. Zhang Juzheng rarely spoke, and it was completely different from Gao Gong's opinion, which is a rare thing.

Hearing him say this, Emperor Longqing's face softened a little. "Mr. Gao, what Zhang Aiqing said is very true, this matter is very important, but we can't afford to procrastinate, otherwise it will be difficult for the Japanese to gain a firm foothold in North Korea."

"The emperor is wise, as long as the news of the imperial court sending troops to Korea to deal with the enemy and the Japanese invaders spreads, the subject countries around my Ming Dynasty will definitely feel the kindness of the imperial court and will never rebel again." Li Chunfang said with a face full of approval, how many years have it been, and the emperor can be regarded as doing the right thing.

"Hehe, it seems that all of you Aiqing have the same idea as me." Smiling, Emperor Longqing looked at Gao Gong with some embarrassment, this time he could only disagree with Mr. Gao's idea.

In a four-to-one situation, Gao Gong also knew that he could no longer object. But that's fine, this widow is really bold, if you don't teach a good lesson, it is really possible to go to the house to expose the tiles.

Seeing that Gao Gong did not object again, Emperor Longqing was also happy in his heart, turned his head to look at Zhang Juzheng and ordered: "Uncle, this matter will be handled by you, and immediately go to the military department to select the generals who dare to fight, the elite division." As soon as Li Xun arrived in the capital, I announced that I would send troops to Korea to restore the country. ”

With an uncle's voice, Zhang Juzheng suddenly felt warm in his heart, the emperor has not been so affectionate for a long time. "Yes, Wechen will do it." Respectfully bowed, Zhang Juzheng nodded to the three of Gao Gong again, and then walked out.

"Teacher, you are in such a hurry to find the students, what do you have to say?" Shen Chongming, who was sweating profusely, looked at Gao Gong, who was frowning and silent, and didn't dare to say naughty words.

During this time, Shen Chongming was busy in the dark of the maritime yamen. This maritime business is getting bigger and bigger, and all kinds of accounts are sent to the capital one after another, and Shi Bingzheng alone is really a little too busy, so Shen Chongming, the governor, can only go out in person to sit in the yamen.

"The Japanese invaded Korea, and the king of Joseon, Yi Xun, arrived in the capital in a few days. The emperor has decided to send troops into Korea to restore the country, what do you think about this matter? Gao Gong said with some worry.

"Little Day...... The Japanese invaded the Korean state? Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't this a matter in the Wanli period?

"Alas, according to rumors, the Japanese civil war just ended not long ago, and I originally thought that the Japanese plague would be completely eliminated from now on, but I never thought that they would use troops against North Korea so quickly, this Toyotomi Hideyoshi is only afraid that his ambition is not small." Gao Gong shook his head and said.

"Hehe, the teacher doesn't have to worry too much, now the court is not as embarrassed as it was when it was at the beginning, even if it was a big battle, it was nothing. On the other hand, the Japanese invaders started fighting again just after the end of the civil strife, and it is not too much to say that he killed himself. Shen Chongming said with a smile. It was better to come than to come by chance, and just took this opportunity to let the Japanese invaders return defeated, maybe Toyotomi Hideyoshi lost in the Korean battlefield, and their civil war was about to start again.

"So, you also agree to send troops to Korea now?" Gao Gong was a little dumbfounded. I know this student myself, and it is not too much to say that he loves money like life. He had to empty so many accounts of the maritime yamen, for fear that the people below would be greedy for ink and silver.

And when this pair of Japanese invaders went to war, the army went to Korea, and the silver taels consumed were certainly not a small amount, which was not at all possible without a few million taels of silver.

"Of course, the Japanese are naturally greedy and insufficient, and if they are not punished, they will definitely attack my Ming frontier inch by inch. When the time comes, let the flames of war burn into the territory of our Ming Dynasty and bring innocent people to life, it is better to take advantage of the current time to send troops to North Korea to defeat it. Although it is said that this is a huge cost, it is worth it to keep the people safe. ”

Hearing this, Gao Gong couldn't help but smile and nodded. "Listening to you say this, this battle was indeed fought, so there is no need to worry about being a teacher."

"Huh." Shen Chongming smiled, and then asked cautiously: "By the way, teacher, I don't know if the emperor has a candidate to lead the army, if there is no one for the time being, what do you think of the students?" ”

"Bastard, you forgot what the teacher told you, didn't you?" Gao arched his eyes and glared, Shen Chongming ran away, his movements were crisp and neat, and he looked like a veteran.

"This bastard." scolded, but Gao Gong couldn't help laughing, he was almost cured.

"There is no objection to sending troops to North Korea, but there is no objection to being a brother. However, we must be cautious in the selection of generals, courage comes second, and the most important thing is resourcefulness. The Korean country is no bigger than the Ming Dynasty, and the terrain is complicated with many mountains and rivers, and the strategy of this march and war must also be adapted to local conditions, and the war must not be arranged on the basis of experience. ”

Shen Chongming analyzed with great interest, and Xiao Ershao, who was sitting opposite, really listened. "I said Brother Shen, you should meet the Long Live Lord and say go, the younger brother can only do business, and he doesn't know anything about the seven military tricks."

"You, it's naturally right to increase your knowledge, second egg, you said that what Lord Ben said is right." Shen Chongming said with a smug face.

Talking to Xiao Ershao here, Shen Chongming can't help it. As he said, he should have taken this to the court, but in the face of the teacher's threatening eyes, he really didn't dare to speak easily. If not, his old man would have to clean up his second-class master.

"Yes, yes, my lord, what you said is so right, your subordinates have benefited a lot. When you go back tonight, you must transcribe all your words today, bind them into a book and pass them on to future generations, so that they can study and study hard. Brother Erdan's face was not red and he patted his ass without panting, only making Xiao Ershao laugh.

Shen Chongming would believe this, his eyes glared and reprimanded: "Erdan, Lord Ben is teaching you, if you don't study hard, don't you just want to be a guard by Lord Ben's side for a lifetime?" ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for your promotion, your subordinates will definitely learn from you and study hard." Brother Erdan thought that Shen Chongming was really joking, and he started playing with a hippie smile.

"Rice bucket, go out and figure it out for yourself. Yin'er is a good girl, we can't marry her to an unmotivated person. Shen Chongming's face fell, and he picked up a teacup next to him.
