Chapter 21: The Invasion of the Invaders
And just when the turmoil in the Korean court to elect the future prince of the king has not yet subsided, another hurricane is blowing in the whole territory of Korea and the Korean situation.
And the turmoil of Wang Shizi has not stopped for the time being, but the result of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is very different from that of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
did not start to neglect the government like His Majesty the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and did not go to court for 28 years.
However, the lord of Korea was very clever in continuing his own government, and the ministers could continue to speak freely in the court.
And the performance of the canonization of the prince has never stopped, after all, it is the Westerners who control the government at this moment.
While the Westerners hope to canonize the prince, they are also always worried about whether the future national fortunes of North Korea can be peaceful.
Because after Huang Yunji, who was the envoy of the Westerners, went to the country of birds and beasts, what he saw and heard was very sharp.
There are all kinds of signs that the Japanese will send troops in the near future, and the momentum of a real invasion of Korea has not abated.
And from the personal exploration of the country of the Japanese by the Westerners, it was also found that the country of the Japanese at this moment has also spread all over the merchant ships of various countries in the world.
The sheer size of the merchant ships seen is rare in the world, and there are people with different skins doing business in the capital of the Wako Country.
Merchants from all over the world were doing business with the Japanese Korko, and the birds were brought in by foreign merchants who had crossed the sea.
At this moment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako Kingdom, also saw the power of the bird, and gave a large amount of gold and silver to buy and equip his own soldiers.
And when the military force formed by a large number of bird guns has become a substantial threat to North Korea.
And through the Westerner officials to explore the country of the Japanese at this moment, it was found that the country of the Japanese is a very advanced country.
It is such an advanced country, but there is a very belligerent Guan Bai, after unifying the country, he wants to go further to send troops to Korea and the Ming Dynasty.
And while the Korean court continued to be suspicious of the imminent invasion of Korea by the Japanese invaders, the Korean people had already made some movements.
The people of the lower three provinces, located in the land of fish and rice in North Korea, are at this moment because of the news that the Japanese are about to send troops to invade the country.
They left their homes one after another, leaving their lower three residences, and all moved to northern North Korea to escape the rebellion.
As a result, in the territory of Xiasandao, the land of fish and rice in North Korea, there are many uninhabited villages, and even if there are people, only the family members of the government are there.
So in the face of the people being displaced because of the rumors, Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun), who saw the pain in his eyes, personally went to the next three roads to inspect.
During the inspection, Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (now Zhao Kun) saw that the people of North Korea did not trust the Korean court and government at that time.
I don't believe that once there is a rebellion against the Japanese invaders, the government will really send troops to resist the Japanese army.
At this moment, there is also a very famous saying among the Korean people, that is: if even the king can abandon the people, then the people can also abandon the so-called king. This famous sentence is like a tenacious knife inserted into the heart of Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) at this moment, and at the same time, it is also deeply inserted into the heart of Seonjo, the lord of Joseon, who is bent on revitalizing the country.
Just when Seonjo learned that the three provinces of North Korea were clamoring for all of them to relocate, His Royal Highness Seonjo at this moment completely let out his own roar.
Decrees and proclamations of the Joseon Imperial Court were promulgated, requiring that no one should be allowed to move without the consent of the government.
Then it is necessary to arrest those who wantonly spread rumors and spread the news of the invasion of Korea by the Japanese invaders, and such people must be dealt with severely, both in the Korean people and in the North Korean government barracks.
Finally, the saddest thing was the promulgation of the proclamation of the military service of the Korean nationals, which pitied the poor peasants who had to serve in the military all year round.
Not only did they have to pay the taxes assessed by the imperial court, but they also had to do military service and hard labor for ten months of the year.
Who will raise and support the old people and children in the family, so the people in the lower three provinces of North Korea are full of complaints.
The common people, who had already distrusted the Korean court, were now adding serious taxes and wanton apportionments including labor and military service.
As a result, extreme dissatisfaction among the people is increasing, and there has indeed been a small-scale civil uprising in North Korea's lower three provinces at this moment.
The people of North Korea stormed the government and opened the granaries of the rich to distribute grain.
But in the end, they were ruthlessly surrounded and suppressed by North Korean officials and soldiers, and Liu Chenglong once personally witnessed the encirclement and suppression of a group of rebellious North Korean civilians.
It is extremely sad that the Korean people no longer believe that the government and the imperial court can really protect these Korean people, and the people and the imperial court are getting farther and farther away from Germany.
And at this moment, the lord of the country of the Japanese is extremely sad because of the death of his younger brother, and at the same time, what makes the lord of the country of the Japanese invaders even more sad is his son Tsurumatsu, who was born frail and sick.
At this moment, the doctors of the country of the Japanese are helpless, and how much Toyotomi Hideyoshi loves his son will also be reflected in the future of sending troops to fight against Korea.
At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako Kingdom, also ordered the lords and daimyo of all parts of the country to build a castle similar to Osaka in Nagoya of the Wako Kingdom within a year as a general base for waging war.
A year later, in 1592, the country of the Japanese invaded Korea.
And the people who don't want war at this moment are not only those Koreans, but even Yoshitomo Konishi, the lord of Tsushima Island, and his son-in-law, Yoshitomo Konishi, who don't want war.
Therefore, Hira, who did not want a war, secretly forged the letter of the Wako Kingdom to seek the consent of North Korea to attack the Ming through the plan of Konishi Yukinaga.
However, at this moment, Joseon did not care about the efforts of Yoshitomo Taira and Yukinaga Konishi, so he once again humiliated Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Japanese Korko, in the letter of reply to the Wako Kingdom.
And Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Japanese Kou Kingdom, who was originally going to kill the lord of Tsushima Island, also forgave Taira Yoshitomo at this moment for the sake of Konishi Yukinaga's face.
However, the intention to invade Korea could not be changed, and the efforts of Yukichi Konishi and Yoshitomo Hei were in vain.
At this moment, the rumors of the invasion of the Japanese invaders in the lower three provinces of Korea are really boiling, and the construction of the city wall and other protective works in the lower three provinces can only be postponed indefinitely.
When there was a rumor that the Japanese were about to rebel against the Ming Dynasty with Korea, the rumor that the Korean would-be would-be invaded by the Ming Dynasty was determined by the merchants who traded with the Koreans.
It was passed to the Ming Dynasty's military department Shangshu Shixing (Liu Weihua), because Korea belonged to the Ming Dynasty's Fanbang at that time.
And North Korea did not pass the approval of the Ming Dynasty, and privately cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty a year ago.
A special correspondence mission was dispatched, and this diplomatic procedure did not conform to the diplomatic procedure proposed at the time of the Ming Dynasty's friendship.
This is because Korea, as a vassal state, should submit any information on the establishment of diplomatic relations with other countries and the dispatch of missions to the Ming Dynasty, which is a major state of the upper state.
However, this time, after sending envoys to each other with the country of the Japanese invaders, they did not report their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty for more than a year.
This is an extreme disloyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and it also shows that Korea, a vassal state, does not really take the Ming Dynasty in mind.
Therefore, the news of the Korean crisis in the country of Fanbang is still relatively important, so the Ming Dynasty, as a big country in the upper state, is still very concerned about any changes in the country of Fanbang. However, at this moment, the Ming Dynasty due to the disagreement between His Majesty the Wanli Emperor and the civil and military officials in the establishment of the crown prince led to the beginning of the neglect of His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.
At this moment, His Majesty the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has also begun to not go to the court, and the Wanli Emperor, who has ignored the government for a long time, has also made the Ming Dynasty completely enter the beginning of decline.
And when Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the lord of the Ministry of War, attaches great importance to the news of this Korean state, he will play this hard-earned news to His Majesty the Wanli Emperor at this moment.
But at this moment, the Wanli Emperor was in his own bedroom, playing games with his concubines.
At this time, Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the military department, also felt very helpless, and Shi Xing watched Emperor Wanli, who lost the game, lose the whole box of silver to the concubines.
For a while, there was an indescribable pain and a very painful feeling, but there was a bitterness but could not be said, when Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the Ministry of War, said that North Korea was going to rebel and invade the Ming Dynasty with the Japanese invaders.
The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually laughed and shouted for the rebellious North Korea and the Japanese to attack the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty will actively respond to the rebellion of Korea and the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and at this moment, the lord of the Japanese Invaders, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, has the intention of invading the Ming Dynasty, and it is also because the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty began to neglect the government and refused to go to court.
In addition, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the actual ruler of the Japanese Empire, also liked a historical figure very much, that is, Genghis Khan, the world's most famous emperor.
Genghis Khan was born into a small tribe and went through many hardships to finally unify all the tribes of Mongolia.
defeated the Jin and Song kingdoms, and drove horses and whips into most of Europe, occupying a lot of territory, making the territory of the Yuan State occupy the first place in the world.
And the second reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Japanese Empire at this moment, attacked the Ming Dynasty was that Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not want to spend a lonely and lonely life.
Because Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't want his name to appear only in the history of the Wakos, he also wanted his name to appear forever in the land conquered by the Wakos.
In the face of the conspiracy plan of the lord of the Japanese Invaders, he invaded and attacked the Ming Dynasty under the pretense of the Korean Road.
At this moment, Da Ming is very mediocre, and whether he can make the right choice depends on the choice of His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.
and the wise and wise civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, how to view the results of the upcoming Korean military rebellion in the vassal state.
