Chapter 379: Li Chengliang Asks for War
Hearing Zhang Whale's words, Zhu Yijun nodded, but didn't say anything, in fact, Zhu Yijun had expected this situation a long time ago. Later generations of Zhu Yijun did not fail to understand this aspect, he knew that North Korea was in danger.
Although South Korea boasted about their famous generals, they fought for several years before the Ming Dynasty sent troops, in fact, the daimyo did not send troops, and they really perished.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty sent troops into Korea in June of the twentieth year of Wanli, although there were only more than 1,000 pioneers, but the Ming Dynasty did send troops directly into Korea two months after the Japanese invasion of Korea.
But there is one point that is not wrong with South Korea's argument, and that is the issue of military command.
Many ministers of the Korean state believed that the army of the Ming Dynasty should be commanded by the DPRK, and they knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to agree to this request, so the speed of the Ming army's entry into the DPRK was delayed.
Later generations Zhu Yijun read some South Korean views, saying that it was natural for the Ming army to enter North Korea and obey the command of North Korea.
But Zhu Yijun thought that this was a fart, first of all, you were a vassal state asking the Ming Dynasty to send troops, not the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, Daming saved North Korea, but he didn't want this or that.
There are still a lot of conditions for the US troops to be stationed in South Korea, and you still have to buy American weapons.
Thinking of the faces of Koreans in later generations, Zhu Yijun was ready to wait this time, waiting in Shenyang. In fact, Zhu Yijun really wanted to see which minister of the DPRK said that the army should obey the command of the DPRK, anyway, this time Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry at all.
Turning his head to look at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth again and asked, "Li Chengliang?" What are you doing? ”
"Back to the emperor, after Li Chengliang went back, he was preparing for the establishment of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, and he sent his son Li Rusong home to rectify the Li family and sold a lot of business."
"Clean up the forcibly occupied land and escort the Li family's violators of the Ming law to the Yamen."
Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded: "Smart people are smart people after all." ”
Although Zhu Yijun said it very easily when he saw Li Chengliang in Wanhe Palace, and seemed to let Li Chengliang go, if Li Chengliang didn't say it, Zhu Yijun would still be unhappy in his heart.
At this time, Li Chengliang did this, and Zhu Yijun naturally had nothing to say.
Zhu Yijun urged the Ming Dynasty to develop Liaodong in Liaodong, and the Korean war also entered a full-scale outbreak stage, and with the fall of Seoul, the gentry from all over Korea began to revolt.
Among them, the one who fought well was Kwak Jae-woo of Seongju, Gyeongsang-do, who organized volunteers on April 21, the 20th year of Wanli, and repeatedly defeated Anguksa Hye-kyung so that he could not enter Jeolla Province smoothly.
Jung In-hong, Son In-jia, Kim Chung and others also organized volunteers, so that Mori Huiyuan could not successfully occupy Gyeongsang Province.
Kim Qian-yi and Jeonju Ko Kyung-myeong of Gwangju, Jeolla Province, also organized volunteers on June 1, Wanli 20, while Cho Heon, who was born in Gongju, Chungcheong-do, and the monk Yeong-gyu, reorganized their forces on July 3, Wanli 20, and united to resist Kobayakawa Takakei and Tachibana Soshige and other Japanese Sixth Army Corps.
Although it seems that the DPRK's volunteers are everywhere, and the resistance is in full swing, it does not make up for the entire war situation, and the DPRK's armament is slack, and in just one month, "the three capitals are lost, and the eight roads are disintegrated."
On May 8, the twentieth year of Wanli, Joseon Xuanzu Li Hao rushed out to Pyongyang, and then, the first, second, and third armies of the Japanese invaders pursued and broke through the Imjin garrison to capture Kaesong, Li Hao left Kaesong, and then continued to exile to Yiju on the border between Korea and the Ming Dynasty, and sent an envoy to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun looked at the North Korean envoy kneeling on the top of the main hall, without the slightest expression on his face.
"What's your name?" Zhu Yijun put down the letter of the king of North Korea, Li Hao, and said slowly.
"Weichen Liu Dongsheng, Zuo Chengzhi of the Korean National Chengzheng Yuan, and his father is now the leader of the Korean National Council of the People's Republic of Korea Yoo Chenglong." Liu Dongsheng hurriedly spoke: "The country of North Korea is in danger, please save North Korea!" ”
After speaking, Liu Dongsheng pestle the ground with his head, and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his eyes.
Zhu Yijun frowned, and said slowly: "North Korea has reached this point? ”
"Your Majesty, North Korea has reached a critical point of life and death, and within a month, the three capitals have been lost, and the eight realms have collapsed. Wherever they went, they burned and looted, and in Jinju alone, soldiers and civilians were slaughtered as many as 100,000 people. ”
"Your Majesty, North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is highly respected, and the lords of the DPRK are all canonized by the Ming Dynasty."
"Now that the Japanese are raging, the Korean country will not be a country, please Your Majesty save North Korea, Weichen has a letter of state from the Japanese general Toyotomi Hideyoshi to North Korea, the Japanese are plotting against North Korea, but in fact they are plotting against China, please check it carefully!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun's face suddenly became serious: "Present the national credentials!" ”
Zhang Jing hurriedly walked in front of Liu Dongsheng, stretched out his hand and took the national letter in Liu Dongsheng's hand, and then walked quickly to Zhu Yijun, and respectfully handed over the national letter to Zhu Yijun.
In fact, Zhu Yijun already knew about this national letter, and he couldn't be clearer about what was written up and down.
Zhu Yijun didn't react, but the generals below couldn't sit still. These guys were unhappy when they fought Horqin before, and now that there are Japanese robbers coming, the scale is not small, how can they let go of this opportunity?
The first to jump out was Li Rusong, who was eager to make meritorious contributions.
"Your Majesty, North Korea is a Ming domain, and my Ming Dynasty must not allow the Japanese to wreak havoc on North Korea, and the minister thinks that he should send troops to help North Korea, and the minister is willing to be the commander and lead the troops of Liaodong to fight in North Korea."
Li Chengliang's words were loud and resolute.
Liu Dongsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and looked at Li Chengliang, with a look of gratitude in his eyes.
Seeing that Li Chengliang had spoken, the other Liaodong generals also stood up. The last time they fought Horqin, they didn't get much benefit, but now that they heard that there was a big battle to fight, they couldn't help it for a long time.
Zhu Yijun looked at the Liaodong generals who were indignant and asked for battle, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, he was proud, happy, and even a little excited. This is the essence of a strong country, and this is what you want.
However, Zhu Yijun still did not let go, but waved his hand to let the Liaodong soldiers retreat.
Perhaps, in their opinion, it is not difficult to fight a Japanese with the military strength of Liaodong, and this is indeed the case. The current military strength of the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong will definitely be able to win in the past.
At most, a part of it will be drawn from Jiliao, and it will definitely be able to find Toyotomi Hideyoshi's north.
But this is not what Zhu Yijun wants, Zhu Yijun has been preparing for so long, not to get rid of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Glancing at Liu Dongsheng, he slowly asked, "Where is the king of Joseon, Li Hao?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the lord of the country is now on the border of Yizhou, my lord said before the Weichen came, North Korea is willing to attach the Ming Dynasty, I only ask Your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible to save the Korean people!" Saying that, Li Dongsheng knelt down again, looking very excited.
