Chapter 405: Despair
While walking towards the city, Yu Zhigao introduced the battle of Busan to Yi Sunsin.
Although it is a bit of a boast, the Daming Naval Division can indeed be regarded as a bloodless soldier who took Busan City. At the same time, Yu Zhigao also briefed Li Sunsin on the Ming army's strategy of reassuring the people.
Yi Sunsin also saw that although the city was still in chaos, order had been restored.
Some shops had already begun to open, and the Ming army also paid for everything, which made Li Sunsin feel very emotional. It is worthy of being a sailor, and sure enough, the military discipline is strict, and Li Sunsin is very happy in his heart.
The group soon came to Qi Jin's station, and Li Sunsin and Yu Zhigao walked inside together.
Just halfway through, Qi Jin had already picked it up from inside, and after greeting each other, Qi Jin did not hide his appreciation for Yi Sunsin, saying that Li Sunsin was the dry city of the country.
"I don't deserve such praise from the general!" Yi Sunsin said with a look of shame.
Li Sunchen already knew that the person in front of him was the admiral of the Ming Imperial Naval Division, the nephew of Qi Jin, the Marquis of the Northern Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the son of the Jiangmen Huzi, who was deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
For Li Sunsin's shame, Qi Jin was quite unimpressed.
"General Li's words are wrong, the country is in trouble, and the general fights to the death for the country, not only fulfilling his duty as a courtier, but also being a model for his courtiers, which is enough to be called the dry city of the country."
"My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a saying, when the country is ruined, those who die for the country should be the heroes of the country."
"Maybe the troops are not as good as the people, maybe the equipment is not as good as the people, or maybe they die in the battle, but if they dare to fight to the death, that is the dry city of the country. If the city is lost, it can be recaptured, but this strength cannot be lost. ”
"General Lee fought against the Japanese at the time of the collapse of the Korean state, which was done by a hero, and his integrity was majestic."
After listening to Qi Jin's words, Li Sunsin's heart warmed, and he once again sighed that the Heavenly Empire is the Heavenly Empire, look at people's minds, look at people's bearing.
Thinking of the struggle for power in North Korea, Yi Sunsin could not help but feel emotional, and at the same time, he was extremely gloomy.
"The general praised it, Li was ashamed!" Yi Sunsin hugged his fists.
Qi Jin's remarks naturally brought him closer to Yi Sunsin, so Qi Jin said: "Since my Ming army entered Korea, Pyongyang and Kaesong have been recovered. ”
"After conquering Pyongan Province, Hamgyong Province, and Hwanghae Province in Korea, the next battle will inevitably start in Seoul, the royal capital of Korea. Now that the naval division has occupied Tsushima Island and taken the port of Busan, there is no way for the Japanese to retreat. ”
"The commander is ready to lead an army to attack, send troops from Busan to attack Daegu, then attack Sangju, take Chungju, and join forces with the army from the north to encircle the Japanese in Seoul, and wipe out all the Japanese in Korea in a war."
When Yi Sunsin heard this, his body swayed excitedly.
"The general is going to Seoul?"
Looking at Li Sunsin who stood up, Qi Jin nodded, and then said: "I invited the general to come this time to invite the general to join me to rectify the Korean soldiers along the way and collect the Korean rout. ”
"Although the sailors under the command of this commander are elite, the number is too small, let's join forces to defeat the Japanese Kou!"
When Li Sunsin heard Qi Jin say this, he nodded again and again: "Okay, so good!" ”
The matter was quickly settled, and Yi Sunsin went ashore with a portion of himself, and at the same time recruited some men near Pusan, raising an army of 5,000 men.
After the integration was completed, the army set off and went straight to Daegu in Korea.
In order to keep Busan, Shimazu Yoshihiro sent a large number of Japanese to Busan, but the battle of Busan ended too quickly, and Shimazu Yoshihiro died in battle, and his men died in battle, and those who were captured were captured, and there was really no manpower in the place after Busan.
Qi Jiguang led the army to quickly break through Daqiu, and then took Shangzhou, and the troops were directed at Zhongzhou.
At this time, in the city of Seoul, the Japanese can be described in four words, that is, the people are panicked.
Kobayakawa Takakei led people to withdraw from Wangkei, and when he returned to Seoul, he got the news that Tsushima Island had been captured, and the Ming army's naval division began to attack Busan.
Yoshihiro Shimazu dispatched men to garrison the port of Busan, and at the same time sent personnel to ask for help.
It's just that the letter asking for help here has just arrived, and the Ukita Hideya has just arranged for manpower, and the second battle report has been delivered. The Ming army captured the port of Busan, and Shimazu Yoshihiro was killed in battle.
Shimazu Yoshihiro's Fourth Army was completely annihilated, and the combined forces of the Ming and North Korea set out from the port of Pusan, and successively took Daegu and Sangju, and the troops were directed at Chungju, once Chungju was lost, they could only sit on the lonely city of Seoul.
The Ming army attacked back and forth, and these people could only wait for death.
Under such circumstances, a large number of Korean troops poured out, and in a short period of time, Yi Sunsin gathered more than 30,000 Korean troops and rushed to the city of Chungju with a shout.
The Japanese stationed in various places were also attacked by the Koreans.
Inside the city of Seoul.
Ukita Hideya called his generals together to discuss the matter, and in a month, he defeated the eight provinces of Korea, but since the Ming army entered Korea, the situation of the war has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
In the same month, his side was attacked from front to back, and there was no way to escape.
Ukita Hideya's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he slowly spoke: "Everyone knows the matter, Tsushima Island is lost, Busan Port is lost, and the Fourth Army is completely destroyed, what should we do next?" ”
No one spoke, and their faces were all very serious.
At this point, there are not many ways to think of it, and there are not many options.
"The current situation is that we can either hold on to Seoul and wait for Taeko-sama's rescue, or retreat south, defeat the Ming army from Busan, and then recapture Busan."
Seeing that no one spoke, Kobayakawa Takakei spoke first.
The results of these two methods may not be very good, and it is easy to be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army by holding Seoul, and the walls of Seoul cannot resist the Ming army. Retreat to the south, it's good if you can break through the Ming army, but what if you can't break through?
Then it will face the north and south attacks of the Ming army, and it will not be able to escape the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
Even if you break through the Ming army and take Busan, how can you go back? Now that Tsushima Island is lost, what can these people do to break the blockade of the Great Ming Water Division? Once it is blocked in Busan, the Ming army takes advantage of the situation to chase and kill, is it not the whole army destroyed?
"Why don't you send someone to talk?" Maori Huiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Test the attitude of the Ming army, even if it is to delay for some time." ”
No one believed that the Ming army would accept the peace talks at this time, and even if the Ming army accepted, the Koreans would not accept it, so should they surrender? Once these people surrender, they will be slaughtered by others.
What did these people do when they invaded North Korea? Burning, killing and looting, the North Koreans are eager to eat meat and drink blood. But it's okay to procrastinate, and it's a good idea.
