Chapter 407: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks

As a person from later generations, Zhu Yijun knows what the slave trade represents, what kind of waves the slave trade will make, and how much blood will be shed on this side.

But it is better to let others bleed than to bleed their own.

How many Chinese corpses are buried under the railroads in the United States, and how many Chinese bones are in the mines of Japan, in this era is the era of cannibalism, either you eat me or I eat you.

The great geographical discoveries were accompanied by the great era of global cannibalism.

In this era, it is impossible to stand alone, through colonization, through the slave trade to transfer internal contradictions, and at the same time plunder resources, speed up the process of modernization, this is a must be done.

Zhu Yijun doesn't care about the evaluation of later generations, even if he cares, Zhu Yijun feels that he won't be too bad.

Britain is not called a country of gentlemen, in fact? It was the country of pirates, and the development of Britain was the notorious African slave trade, the notorious Opium Wars.

Elizabeth I, who awarded the pirate medal, was not respected, and those who established the British colonies were not called navigators, and Zhu Yijun did not believe that his army would lose to anyone.

As long as the national strength can keep up, Daming will definitely be able to burst out of a million-level navy.

No country has the size of the Ming Dynasty, no place can stop the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty, under the range of the cannon, all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the places pointed by their own swords are all ministers of the emperor.

This road was opened by the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa State became the stepping stone of the Ming Dynasty's colonial road.

Of course, Li Hao didn't know that Zhu Yijun had made so many plans, and he didn't know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had been preparing for this day a long time ago, but he was still very happy.

Fighting to the Wa Kingdom, robbing money, things and women, Li Hao was very excited.

Zhu Yijun wants to use the North Koreans, so naturally he wants to give benefits, and as for the combat effectiveness of the North Koreans, Zhu Yijun has no doubts. In the face of the elite of the warring states of the Japanese kingdom that invaded Korea, the Koreans may not be an opponent.

But if they rush into the Wa Kingdom, they will also turn into a division of tigers and wolves, especially when it comes to stealing things.

Zhu Yijun believes that the North Koreans will be more desperate than the Ming Dynasty, and they will be more ruthless than the Ming Dynasty. In this war, the pain of North Korea is unforgettable, revenge and wealth, the North Koreans will definitely be able to burst out with amazing combat power, this is certain, this is also another reason why Zhu Yijun wants to use North Korean people.

Zhu Yijun has finished arranging the final matters of the Korean War and is ready to return to Beijing, and the Korean War has also reached the most critical time.

Outside Chungju City.

Qi Jin looked at Chungju City with a telescope and asked Yu Zhigao and Yi Sunsin beside him, "Haven't you found any traces of the Japanese Invaders?" ”

Since coming to Chungju City, Qi Jin did not order the siege of the city, but adopted a posture of besieging but not attacking, making it clear that it was to encircle the point and send reinforcements. It's just that I've been waiting for three days, and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet.

Qi Jin is a little incomprehensible, Chungju is the southern gateway to Seoul, don't you want it?

Originally, the Ukita Hideya was going to send reinforcements to Chungju, but after learning that there were nearly 100,000 Ming and Korean troops in Chungju, the Ukita Hideya gave up sending reinforcements to Chungju.

The total number of the nine corps that invaded Korea this time was only 150,000, more than 10,000 were killed in the battle of Busan, Pyongyang lost more than 20,000, Kato Kiyomasa had the most, and more than 30,000 people only returned more than 10,000.

Four of the nine legions have been annihilated, nearly half of which have been lost.

At present, there are only 80,000 Japanese pirates assembled in the whole of Seoul.

How many people should be sent to divide troops to rescue Chungju? There are fewer factions, and it is estimated that it is not enough for the Ming and North Korean coalition forces to plug their teeth. Ukita Hideya didn't expect that the Daming Shui Division would actually dispatch 50,000 people, where did you come from so many people.

Originally, I was thinking of breaking through to the south and then retaking Busan, but now it seems that this strategy will definitely not work.

With 80,000 against 80,000, it will be impossible to break through in a short period of time, and once it cannot break through, it will be attacked from front to back, and the end will be directly annihilated.

This is also why Qi Jin waited for three days, but there were still no reinforcements sent from Seoul.

Yu Zhigao and Li Sunchen naturally knew what Qi Jin's idea was, so they could only say with a wry smile: "No, the Tanma was sent out to report, and no signs of Japanese reinforcements were found. ”

"Give the order to attack the city!" Qi Jin said after putting down the binoculars.

It's not a matter of waiting here all the time, three days is already the limit, and the Japanese are not here now, so there is no point in waiting. With Qi Jin's order, the Korean army and the Ming army began to attack the city.

The same siege routine, artillery bombarded the city, and after blowing up the city walls, they rushed directly into it. Chungju Fortress was also unable to stop the Ming and Korean coalition forces, and the two armies soon captured Chungju Fortress.

The Ming army camp outside Seoul.

Qi Jiguang listened to the reports of the people below, and said, "The Japanese want to send someone to talk to us?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, in the eyes of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese have reached the point of exhaustion, peace talks? I will only talk to them when my head is pumped, do you think that you are all fools on your side?

"Tell the Japanese in the city that they have only one way out of the city to surrender."

Qi Jiguang is also too lazy to talk with the Japanese Kou, what to talk about, once you start talking, you can't fight, there are so many people in the Ming Army, who has the heart to spend time with the Japanese Kou here. Before the start of the Korean War, the emperor of his own family said that the Korean War was only the first stage.

It is necessary to end this battle as soon as possible, and then enter the second stage of this war as soon as possible, that is, to attack the Wa Kingdom.

The news quickly spread back to the city, and Ukita Hideya had a gloomy face, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then he spoke: "Now the situation is very critical, we are trapped in Seoul by the Ming army on both sides, what should we do?" ”

"It's better to tell the Ming army to let us go, otherwise we will slaughter the Korean people in Seoul."

Mao Li Huiyuan said viciously on the side: "Pressing the Korean people to the city, didn't the Ming army have artillery to bombard the city?" Look at how they still bombard the city, if they don't let us go, then the jade will be burned. ”

The people in the room were all dark, but no one objected to Maori Terumen's words.

Things have come to this point, and there is really nothing to be done. Although when Li Hao fled, many people also ran away, but after all, there were still those who did not run away.

"Okay, let the Korean people go up to the city wall!" Ukita Hideya said directly: "Tell the Ming army that if they dare to attack the city, we will kill all the Korean people in the city, the jade will be burned, and the fish will die and the net will be broken." ”

When the Korean people were pressed to the city, the Ming army naturally got the news.

Qi Jiguang listened to the reports of the people below, although his face was much uglier, but he didn't lose his temper. Along the way, he also saw what the Japanese did, and the Ming Dynasty had also resisted the Japanese before, and Qi Jiguang was not surprised that the Japanese were able to do this.
