Outside the capital of the Baekje king, the Fusang army surrounded the king's group, and the water could not be passed. If you look down from the air, you will see that the flags stretch for dozens of miles, and the camp tents are layered on top of each other, which is quite spectacular.

Groups of Fuso soldiers were attacking the head of Wangseongseong, and the Baekje defenders at the head of the city were also desperately counterattacking, and the sound of killing on both sides shook the sky, and the corpses on the city walls began to accumulate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The invasion of Korea was led by Tokugawa Hidetada, who was standing on a high ground outside Wangjing City, surrounded by a group of guards and daimyos, and looked at Wangjing with a clairvoyant mirror bought from an English merchant.

Tokugawa Hidetada was of medium height, pale, with long narrow eyes and a flat nose, with the characteristics of a typical Fuso man.

However, his height is already a standout compared to a group of guards and daimyo behind him.

The tragic offensive and defensive battles above and below the city wall did not make Tokugawa Hidetada's face change anything, and after looking at it for a while, he put down the clairvoyant mirror and said, "What is the movement of the Ming army now?" ”

A daimyo behind him hurriedly said: "General, according to the report of the spies, the main force of the Ming army is still stationed near the king of Goguryeo, and it will not move. And we have a large army watching over them, and if they move, we will surely find out. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada pondered for a moment and wondered: "What is this Ming army doing? Do they really want to watch us take this Baekje king? Isn't this like the rumored so-called invincible battle? ”

A daimyo said disdainfully: "I think the so-called invincible attack is simply what their Ming people themselves boasted about." As the suzerainty of the three Koreans, they could not even protect their own vassal state, so they allowed our Fusang army to besiege the Baekje kinggyong all the way, and even the Silla kinggyong would be taken in a few days. It must be that the Ming army is afraid of the might of our Fusang army, and it is afraid of the war. ”

The other Ming Dynasty echoed one after another: "What Lord Ueno Mamoru said is extremely true, Your Excellency the General, I don't think we need to make any more feints, it is better to directly take down this Baekje Wangjing in one go, and let our Fuso soldiers have a good time, so that we will not come here in vain." ”

"Yes, although the men of this North Korea are weak, the women are very docile, and they are more flavorful than our Fuso women, and my heart is itching when I say it."

The daimyo's words resonated, and everyone else burst into laughter, with a lewd and insolent laugh.

"Hmph, a bunch of megalomaniacal idiots." Tokugawa Hidetada looked at the appearance of these daimyos, and his heart was full of contempt.

"Gentlemen, do not underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that the Ming army at this time is not the previous Ming army, and it is completely different. That Jiangchuan was able to unify the Zhongzhou Continent in just two years, relying on this army that you despise. The short-term demise of the pirates who had roamed the seas for decades is the best proof of this. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada told him. Although the Fuso Kingdom is now nominally unified, it is not a real centralized system like the Ming Dynasty, but more like the federal system of the West.

Although these daimyo swore allegiance to their Tokugawa family, the power in their own hands was not small, so the words of his Tokugawa Hidetada on weekdays were not obedient, and even disobeyed many times.

This invasion of Korea was also because he tempted these people with various benefits, so that they could muster their forces to support themselves.

Speaking of which, Tokugawa Hidetada's real purpose was also to use this invasion of Korea to further enhance and consolidate his prestige, and at the same time take the opportunity to weaken the strength of these daimyos, so as to realize his opportunity to truly unify Fuso.

Tokugawa Hidetada has always longed for and admired the culture of Middle-earth, including the political system, literature, the art of war, martial arts, food and daily life, etc., almost everything is the object of his envy.

Of course, what he longed for most was to be able to build Fuso into a highly centralized and unified empire like the Ming Dynasty, which was his and their Tokugawa family's greatest wish.

Emperor Daming is full of words, everyone surrenders, if someone dares to contradict himself like these guys, it is normal to drag them out and cut them down.

However, he Tokugawa Hidetada could not do this, and if he did, it was very likely that this united army, which had been put together with great difficulty, would fall apart.

Therefore, although he was angry in his heart, he still had to speak well to these people.

But these daimyo still didn't agree with his words, and a daimyo who was taller than Tokugawa Hidetada, with a bun peculiar to Fuso samurai, and two swords, one long and one short, stuck in his waist, said disdainfully:

"In the words of the Ming people, the general is to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige. Is it a great feat to exterminate some pirates? It was nothing more than some pirates, not beaten at all. If it were the samurai of our Yoshinoya family, the same would have been the case with those pirates. If the Ming army dares to come, I am willing to take our Yoshinoya army to take the lead and make a contribution to the general. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent on the side, but it quickly disappeared again.

This Daming is called Yoshino Taro, and he is the daimyo who sent the most troops under him this time, bringing 10,000 people, so he is a little unruly on weekdays, relying on his own soldiers, and often contradicts Tokugawa Hidetada.

"Yoshino Daimyo is a famous samurai in Fuso, and those pirates are certainly no opponent. However, there is no vanity under the reputation, so we should try to be as cautious as possible. Tokugawa Hidetada said with a smile.

Because of the arrogance and rudeness of Yoshino and others, Tokugawa Hidetada had no interest in watching the battle and took the lead to walk down the mountain.

As soon as I walked to the foot of the mountain, there was a quick horse report, saying that a small group of troops of the Ming army was snooping about twenty miles north of this place.

This news made everyone uproar all of a sudden, and many people rushed to fight.

Since the landing, the success has long made these daimyo swell, and the previous bit of caution has long been dissipated, and one by one I can't wait to see the Ming army make contributions as soon as possible.

Tokugawa Hidetada's eyes flashed, and after a deep groan, he looked at the Yoshino Daimyo who had just confronted him, and said with a smile: "Yoshino Daimyo is extremely heroic, so please take your samurai to destroy this Ming army and prove the martial arts of our Fuso warriors." ”

Yoshino was completely unaware of Tokugawa Hidetada's consciousness of using him as a touchstone or a sacrifice, so he patted his chest arrogantly, pulled out a small sword and waved it twice, and said loudly: "Please wait for the heroes of our Yoshino family to make achievements, and I will use the head of the Ming general to prove the glory of our Yoshinoya." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Tokugawa Hidetada, and then turned around and left to reorganize the army.
