Chapter 44: Li Rusong sent troops
After the famous general Li Rusong arrived on the Liaodong Peninsula in December, he and Song Yingchang, the squire of the military department, met with Shen Weijing, who had returned from Pyongyang.
But after the meeting, he was very angry and wanted to kill this Shen Weijing, and finally under the persuasion of other people, Shen Weijing was saved to continue to live.
Therefore, since Shen Weijing wisely thought that he had made immortal achievements, he only ended up being infamous as an international liar.
And the famous general Li Rusong is an extremely conceited but very brave person, at this time Li Rusong has led the Ming Dynasty's 70,000 troops across the Yalu River to Yiju in North Korea.
And the country of North Korea is also the hometown of Li Rusong's grandfather for five generations, should all the foreign enemies who trample on the ancestral territory be eliminated?
And when Li Rusong led 70,000 Ming soldiers into Korea, the total number of Japanese soldiers was 100,000, of which 20,000 were entrenched in Pyongyang, North Korea.
After arriving in Yiju, Li Rusong first met with His Royal Highness Xuanzu of North Korea, and at this time, Li Rusong understood the mood of Xuanzu of North Korea anxiously waiting for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.
And the Great Tomorrow Soldiers will also be like a sweet rain to extinguish the war from the invading forces of the small country on the coast of the East China Sea.
When asked how many North Korean soldiers had helped, the North Korean minister replied only 8,000 soldiers.
Then Li Rusong let these 8,000 soldiers be included in the sequence of the Ming official army, under the leadership of the deputy chief soldier Zu Chengxun.
General Li Rusong clearly demanded that the Korean officers and rebels obey Li Rusong's orders, although the Korean ministers have always rejected General Li Rusong's kindness.
After all, the official army of the DPRK has the system of the DPRK, and the temporary inclusion of the Ming military system will cause unnecessary problems and troubles.
But at this moment, Xuanzu stopped the ministers' advances, and wanted to let General Li Rusong and his subordinates who came from afar have a good rest.
At this time, the ministers of North Korea had a serious discussion on Li Rusong's attitude and military strength after being included in the Ming system.
On the fourth day of the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, the Ming official army was led by Li Rusong to the Suning Pavilion not far from Pyongyang.
As a result, after Konishi Yukicho, the commander of the First Vanguard Army, knew of Li Rusong's arrival, he sent twenty samurai to ask for a meeting and negotiation with Li Rusong.
During the negotiation, his tone was very arrogant, and Li Rusong, who was also from the military camp, immediately ordered the Ming officials and troops under his account when he saw this.
When he wanted to take down these twenty envoys, he didn't expect that these twenty envoys immediately pulled out their weapons and fought with Li Rusong and the Ming official army.
Because the twenty envoys were all martial arts masters, in the end, only three of them ran away, and then Li Rusong realized that these twenty envoys were definitely not negotiating.
Instead, he came to arrest Li Rusong, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and the samurai who ran back at this time naturally reported to Governor Konishi.
But after the report, Governor Konishi sent another envoy to negotiate, but he also brought his entourage to negotiate, and then Li Rusong entertained him with courtesy.
In the end, it was agreed to meet under the city of Pyongyang on the sixth day of the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, and the generals of Li Rusong and Konishi Yukichang met.
At this moment, the Korean ministers privately approached Li Rusong to ask for the independent establishment of the Korean army, so the Ming army of 70,000 soldiers will be observed as an observation military force in the back.
And the 8,000 soldiers of the DPRK will go to the city of Pyongyang to fight first, which will also stump all the Korean ministers and His Royal Highness Seonjo.
At this moment, His Royal Highness Seonjo is eager to dismiss those ministers immediately, but if they are really dismissed, then there will be no ministers in the Korean court.
So His Royal Highness Seonjo had no choice but to find the loyal minister Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) and let Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) take up an important position in the Korean military force.
Therefore, Yoo Sung-ryong was given the post of Ping'an Provincial Inspector, and Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun), who was dismissed from his official position, returned to the Korean court.
After Liu Chenglong took office, he first found all the details of the Japanese in the army, because these details provided important military information to the Japanese every time.
After the Japanese agreed to give a cow, these military workers would betray the country's military information to the Japanese invaders.
In December 1592, Yoo Chenglong beheaded and executed more than 40 people in the captured Korean military camp, and a small group of soldiers who thought that the country was on the verge of extinction actually provided military information at the cost of cattle or silk cloth.
In Suzhou, Anzhou, and Yizhou, there are these military camps in detail, and Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) indirectly wiped them out.
This was followed by a pre-war military conference held in Soochu, North Korea, where the Korean generals briefed Ri Rusong on the topography of Pyongyang's city.
At this moment, Li Rusong also used Shen Weijing to confuse those Japanese invaders, and used the excuse that His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty agreed to the negotiation conditions of the Japanese invaders to lure the Japanese Konishi Yukito to the Busan Pavilion.
And how could the cunning Konishi Yukicho go alone, so he sent his son-in-law Yoshitomo Taira to the Busan Pavilion in person instead of him.
And when Taira Yoshichi arrived at the Busan Pavilion, he was besieged and killed by the allied forces of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and at this moment, Master Weizheng came with 2,000 monks to support Lord Yoo Chenglong (Zhao Kun).
However, the operation of the Busan Pavilion failed, and Taira Yoshitomo and a few Japanese invaders escaped, and Konishi Yukinaga did not appear at the Busan Pavilion at all.
Therefore, attacking the city of Pyongyang at this moment is the most important thing, so under the city of Pyongyang, the 70,000 officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty are ready for a full-scale attack.
At this moment, Governor Konishi is waiting for the support of all the Japanese Governors, which is also the first time that Governor Konishi and Li Rusong have met.
Just after General Li Rusong gave the order to attack, the 70,000 officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty and the 8,000 officers and troops of the DPRK slaughtered the city of Pyongyang, where the Japanese invaders were entrenched.
At this moment, the Ming artillery played a great role, because the role of the bird gun was only reflected within a hundred steps.
However, the role of the red-coated cannon was within a thousand steps, so it reached Anju on January 2, 1593.
And on the 4th, after passing through Suchuan, the 6th besieged the city of Pyongyang, and at the same time attacking the city of Pyongyang, 70,000 Ming troops including Li Rusong, Zu Chengxun, and Luo Shangzhi participated in the battle.
Eight thousand officers and soldiers from Korea, including Kim Myeong-won and Yi Yi, and nine thousand monks and soldiers, including Master Siming, Master Weizheng, and Master Xishan, also participated in the battle.
After a long period of attack, Li Rusong sent troops to attack the city of Pyongyang from the area of Peony Peak, and Zu Chengxun used the deception to feint defeat and then deceived the Japanese soldiers of Peony Peak.
After that, they encircled and suppressed the Japanese army in all directions, and after besieging the Pyongyang city, they fought from night to day, and then carried out a ruthless attack on the Pyongyang city.
And after Li Rusong led the Ming and North Korean coalition forces to attack the city of Pyongyang, whether he can achieve unprecedented feats depends on General Li Rusong's strength and command ability.
Whether Pyongyang can be recovered is also a move here, and His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea at this moment listened to the report with great joy.
It is hoped that the allied forces of Daming and North Korea will recover the North Korean city of Pyongyang as soon as possible.
