When the military power of the Ming Dynasty quelled the rebellion in the west, it also consumed a lot of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, causing the Ming Dynasty to gradually decline.

At this moment, the Japanese invaders, the country of birds and beasts on the coast of the East China Sea, are also preparing to invade Korea under the command of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The final result of the dispute between the kings and princes of Joseon was the Westerner officials who conspired with Chung Cheol after he was finally dismissed and exiled in 1592.

Yin Doushou, the Westerner household registration verdict, and Li Hengfu of Dao Chengzhi were convicted for recommending the prince of the king, which directly led to the dismissal of most of the loyal ministers of the Westerners at this moment.

This also led to a gradual decline in the sphere of influence and actual strength of the Westerners from the peak period.

The dream is to realize the ideal policy of the widow in reality, but I want to choose the future king to achieve the reality of the decline of the Westerners.

From then on, the strength of the correspondence mission to speculate and continue to assert the Japanese invasion gradually disappeared from the Korean court.

Then he was even more negligent in guarding against foreign invasion, and at this moment, there was another confusing news from the Ming Dynasty.

And this news also shows that the Holy Day envoy Kim Heung-nam who returned to Korea from the Ming Dynasty sent a message to the Korean court and His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon.

It shows that the Ming court knows that Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to conquer the Ming Dynasty, so at this moment, Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) suggested that His Royal Highness Xuanzu send an envoy to explain the basic situation to the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, there was a very fierce debate among the Korean courtiers on whether to send an envoy.

And just as Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) observed, the Ming Dynasty had also learned that Korea and the country of the Japanese were exchanging national letters.

He also asked the king of Joseon to meet the military forces of the Japanese before attacking the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, and then at the behest of His Royal Highness Seonjo, the Joseon Dynasty sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Korean court has been talking about stopping the construction of the city and reducing the situation of labor and military service according to the will of the people.

Joseon Seonjo has already announced that from now on, he will be the middle of the three provinces of Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, and Jeolla in the lower three provinces of Joseon.

The end of the construction of the city was accompanied by the need for all those who had served in the military for more than three months to return to their hometowns, but at this moment only Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) was the only Manchu civil and military official who opposed Xuanzu doing so.

However, Seonjo always took the people's will as the theme and continued to discuss what he decided to do for the sake of the people's will.

Originally, because of the construction of the city and the military service, the common people complained about the increase and even resented the Joseon court.

Therefore, after the suspension of the recruitment of sergeants at this moment, the Korean people were relieved on the surface.

However, it has not fundamentally resolved the issue of the North Korean people's morale, because the crux of the problem is the collection of taxes.

At this time, the suffering of the common people was relieved of military service and hard labor, and Korea was not allowed to enter a situation where it was unprepared for the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

And at this moment, Han Yingyin, the Korean envoy who was in the Ming Imperial Palace in Beizhili, was questioned by Emperor Wanli and other Ming ministers.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty all thought that Korea would jointly invade and attack the Ming Dynasty with the Japanese Invaders.

At this moment, only Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) said the actual situation, and the DPRK was just a communication mission sent to test the Japanese invaders.

It was not to unite the Japanese to attack the Ming Dynasty, but when the Ming minister asked why Korea was deploying a large number of military forces in Uiju.

Han Yingyin, the envoy of the Korean Dynasty, replied that it was to defend against the Jurchen tribe, but at this moment, His Majesty the Wanli Emperor was even more unhappy.

To defend against the surprise attack of the Jurchens, there is a Ming Dynasty to ensure the safety of North Korea, so how can there be any need for North Korea to deploy troops to defend against the Jurchens.

At this moment, the Ming Emperor even threw the contents of the letter of exchange between Korea and the country of the Japanese to the Korean envoy Han Yingyin, and finally the Ming Emperor also paid a tribute of 10,000 taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty as a loyal reply.

After returning to the Korean capital, he asked His Royal Highness Seonjo to remove the local officials in Uiju, while the Japanese were preparing various weapons for the attack in Nagoya, which was being built at the same time.

Craftsmen are also working day and night to craft weapons for all the Japanese invaders to invade Korea.

And at this moment, something that made Toyotomi Hideyoshi feel bored in life finally happened, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Tsurumatsu stopped breathing at this moment and passed away.

The death of his son Tsurumatsu this time was a huge blow to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's spirit, because the first pillar of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's life was completely gone.

Then only the invasion of North Korea, the second spiritual pillar, can make Toyotomi Hideyoshi feel more interesting and fun to live.

So in the capital of the Japanese Kou, under the arrangement of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lords became generals who were about to invade Korea.

When deciding the leader of the Vanguard Army, a lot of quarrels were sparked, and Kiyomasa Kato and Yukinaga Konishi competed for the leader of the Vanguard Army.

There was a battle of wits and courage until Governor Konishi said that he would attack Busan first.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, together with Maeda Toshiie, believed that Konishi Yukicho was suitable to be the leader of the vanguard army, and according to Konishi Yukicho's attack line against Hanyang, he first landed from Pusan, then occupied Yeosan and attacked Daegu Castle directly through Qingdao.

After that, he crossed the Nakdong River on the east side and occupied the two important cities of Jangju and Mungyeong, and as long as he could enter Chungju, he could completely attack Hanyang.

And Toyotomi Hideyoshi was very puzzled by this method of warfare, why not avoid the military town of Korea.

Instead, he entered and attacked North Korea directly through the layers of important towns, and Konishi Yukinaga's answer was simply and neat if he did not attack a military town.

On the contrary, there was a danger of being surrounded and attacked from the back, and the other lords present all nodded their heads to indicate that what Yukicho Konishi said was right.

Therefore, at this moment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi appointed Konishi Yukicho as the only leader of the vanguard army of the Japanese invaders attacking Korea and declared that they would only occupy Korea.

He assigned the Eight Provinces of Korea to these lords and daimyos, and used the soldiers of the Eight Provinces of Korea to launch a surprise invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was still not at ease with Konishi Yuki, still appointed Kato Kiyomasa as the second vanguard to attack Korea.

At this moment, Konishi Yukicho, who had been given the vanguard officer of the march, was ready to take advantage of the gap between the military forces on Tsushima to sue for peace with North Korea.

At this moment, there was also news that Joseon was going to abolish the naval army and stop building cities, which made Toyotomi Hideyoshi extremely happy.

Even Toyotomi Hideyoshi's subordinate lords felt extremely regretful, because if Korea really did this, then the Japanese would enter Korea without a man's land.

Because it's not just Toyotomi Hideyoshi who feels bored at the moment, it's more interesting to have a bloody battle with military force than to directly receive the surrendered enemy.

Therefore, at this moment, the lord of the Wako Kingdom mobilized 300,000 troops, and in addition to the 30,000 Wako who guarded the capital, he left 100,000 reserve forces in Nagoya.

Therefore, at this moment, the total number of troops that the Japanese can mobilize to attack Korea is 170,000, and when asked how long it will take for Konishi Yukiaga to attack the Korean capital Hanyang.

Konishi's answer turned out to be three months, and this answer apparently made all the lords, including Toyotomi Hideyoshi, deeply suspicious.

Because the Japanese at this moment had the most advanced military strength, Toyotomi Hideyoshi at this moment gave Konishi Yukinaga a month and a half to capture Hanyang, the capital of North Korea.

Because if you don't use blitzkrieg tactics, the Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops to support North Korea, which was invaded by the Japanese invaders.

In this way, with the appearance of Ming reinforcements, it was even more difficult to attack Hanyang, the capital of Korea, so at this moment, in December 1591, Toyotomi Hideyoshi bid farewell to the post of Sekihaku.

became the Taiko-sama of the country of the Japanese Invaders, and the position of Sekihaku of the Japanese Invaders was held by the successor Toyotomi Hideji.

This change had a great impact in the country of the Japanese Invaders, as Toyotomi Hideji entrusted Nene Fukushi to the post of Sekihaku in charge of internal affairs.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Taiko-sama, was able to deal with all the things of the war with peace of mind, because in December 1591, Toyotomi Hideji became Toyotomi Hideyoshi's adopted son.

And Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who did not surrender his military power at this moment, can grasp the development of all the wars.

But two years later, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Yododen gave birth to Toyotomi Hideyori, it further caused a bigger turmoil.

After the great changes took place in the country of the Wako on the coast of the East China Sea, a secret report from the Ryukyus was sent to the north of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After the news of this secret report was known to Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, how the Ming Dynasty would view this secret report still needs to be decided by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.
