58. The Korean monarchs and ministers who were in constant fear were in constant fear

Soon, Xiao Ruxun finished the analysis and showed his analysis results to Zhu Yijun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, please see, this is all the information compiled by the ministers of the intelligence currently known, and the ministers think that if the Ming Dynasty joins in this battle and attacks the Japanese army, Japan will be defeated, and the Ming Dynasty will win."

Zhu Yijun smiled when he heard this: "No one will say that Da Ming will lose, you can tell me the reason." ”

"First of all, the Japanese landed in Pusan, and then marched on two routes to attack the Korean royal capital, a total of 19 days, stretching the entire front to half of the whole of Korea, which will make the logistics supply of the Japanese army difficult, and looking at the terrain of Korea, there are many mountains, many small roads, and there are only a few roads that can pass through the army.

And the Japanese army also controlled these communication arteries, so they continued to advance and crush the Korean regular army, such a fast march, the minister guessed that the Japanese must have left immediately after the next city, and did not care about the residential areas around the city at all, and did not pay attention to the control of the place at all.

Once the Japanese army carries out brutal acts, it will inevitably provoke the Korean people to revolt, and the Koreans will inevitably form militias in these areas, attacking and attacking the Japanese army's communication arteries everywhere, or even cutting them off, so that the Japanese will fall into a dilemma in transporting and supplying grain, and once the front-line army is short of food and cannot obtain enough food from the locality, it will not be able to continue to advance, and even retreat, and Japan is small and lacks resources, and once it sends too many troops, logistics will inevitably collapse.

The Japanese seem to be sharp and invincible, in fact, they have already laid the defeat, the more troops are sent, the greater the logistical pressure, if they can't get supplies from local materials, they will run out of food, and the country will fall into a crisis because of this, the longer the time, the greater the defeat of the Japanese, in a word, from the beginning of his troops, it is doomed to defeat! ”

"Of course he will lose!" Zhu Yijun looked arrogantly at this map: "A small country, a small country, dare to tease my Ming tiger beard, isn't Yelang arrogant?" Xiao Ruxun, if the Japanese send 100,000 troops to attack Korea, how many soldiers and horses do you need to exterminate the Japanese and raise the prestige of our country? ”

"If the Japanese send 100,000 troops, the ministers need 40,000 soldiers, and if the Japanese send more than 100,000 soldiers, the ministers need at most 50,000 soldiers."

Xiao Ruxun did not hesitate to report this approximate number, the first time Japan invaded Korea dispatched about 150,000 army and 9,000 navy, counting the people who transported grain and straw and repaired combat equipment, there were about 200,000 people, if you can get the help of the Ming Dynasty and the Korean navy, Xiao Ruxun is completely sure that all these 200,000 people will stay in Korea in Korea, so that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will be directly angry, and there is no possibility of a second march.

"During the time of Taizu, some people said that the Japanese people were only one million, and the soldiers were only 100,000, and after two hundred years, the Japanese must have had a population increase, and if they really want to go out across the country, they are afraid that two or three hundred thousand soldiers can still be taken, if the Japanese send 200,000 soldiers, do you only need 50,000 soldiers?"

Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows, he didn't like braggarts.

"If the Japanese send 200,000 soldiers, then we have to see how many of them have not starved to death when the ministers lead the troops in front of them, and the ministers have the Ming Dynasty as a support, so they don't need to worry about the grain, and Japan, a small country, the more soldiers, the faster the defeat! Cutting off North Korea and the Tsushima Strait will make every day a great opportunity! ”

Xiao Ruxun said categorically, he didn't say that he believed that Zhu Yijun would appoint him as the commander to attack North Korea, the system of leading the troops to the army in the early Ming Dynasty has been torn apart by the civilian group, once the troops are dispatched, they must be civilian officials as the commander, and the military generals can only assist them, Xiao Ruxun will not be able to get the position of the coach anyway, at least for now.

Xiao Ruxun even has reason to believe that the emperor will still send the Liaodong Army to enter the court in advance, and the Liaodong Army itself will ask to enter the court in advance, because from the beginning to the end of this war, Toyotomi Hideyoshi has no chance of winning, and the victory of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, but it is just debatable how many results will take and how long it will take.

But to deepen the emperor's impression of himself, show his military talents, and when things really turn out as he expected, the emperor will inevitably believe his own words and lead his troops into the court with himself as the main general.

Emperor Wanli has done a lot of absurd things in his life, but he has never remotely commanded and intervened in the front line in military operations, once the commander he trusts will get 100% trust and support, and any impeachment will be left untouched.

The stark contrast is Emperor Chongzhen, there must be checks and balances, checks and balances, the national disaster is at the head, and the death is not stopped, where the persecution paranoia of an emperor comes from is really unknown, and in the end, he will gather the stars, but he will be destroyed.

So Xiao Ruxun didn't have any doubts about Zhu Yijun's reply with just a faint "I remember", but before leaving, for some reason, Zhu Yijun stopped Xiao Ruxun and gave Xiao Ruxun a string of sandalwood beads that he had been playing with in his hand.

"For the generals to inevitably make more sins, this string of beads is the light of the monks, I will give it to you, after the battle to recite a few Buddhist scriptures, turn a few times, just ask for a clear conscience, don't be crushed by the rumors of the corrupt Confucians, those people seem to have a thousand words, there is really no way in the chest, dragging the hind legs is a first-class good hand, these years, there are not many people who can do things."

At this time, knowing that this was just the emperor's means to win people's hearts, Xiao Ruxun couldn't help but be moved in his heart, thanked him sincerely, and then left the palace.

"Master, you like that bead, how did you give it to Xiao Ruxun?"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask, this is a private matter, not a state matter, he dares to ask.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, probably didn't figure it out, looked at his hand, and said slowly: "It's also quite strange, on a whim, I will send it, send it, at least I know that this person is a person who can be used, there are not many people who can use it in my hands, and even fewer people can do things, one more is one, wait for me to go to bed!" ”

Zhang Cheng responded, helping the emperor to widen his clothes, tonight the emperor did not let people come to sleep, he slept alone, Zhang Cheng muttered while giving the emperor wide clothes, this bead emperor has not left his hand for several years, why did he give it away?

Unlike the Ming Dynasty's steady sitting on the Diaoyutai calmly, at this moment in the city of Pyongyang, North Korea, the king of North Korea, Li Hao, is in a state of panic.

Since Japan sent troops to Korea, the regular army of the entire North Korea has not won a single battle, and it has been defeated cleanly and completely, even the most senior military Jin Mingyuan, whom he relies on incomparably, and the veteran general Li Yi, including the famous general Shen Li, who has been fighting with the Jurchens in the north, also pulled over together, holding three sharp swords in his hands, ready to fight to the death with the Japanese.

Who knew that Shen Yan was a copy of the seed master road, with a strong northeast border army cavalry, but he couldn't recognize the terrain, and was wiped out by the Japanese under the city of Chungju, and he died, before him, the general Li Yi also suffered a big defeat, three swords were broken and one was scrapped, and the last old sword was lonely and difficult to sing, and it was simply defeated neatly, and ran away with the lord.

Everyone fled from Seoul miserably, and was even robbed by hungry people on the road, and the officials were killed, and they came to Pyongyang in a state of embarrassment, hunger and cold, and just without much rest, the battle of the Imjin River was completely defeated, and the last barrier of Pyongyang was lost, and the Korean civilians and soldiers in Pyongyang were in panic all day.

Against this backdrop, officials sent by the Ming Dynasty to inquire about the situation in North Korea, Lin Shilu and Choi Shichen, arrived in Pyongyang.

To say that the DPRK actually has a spectrum in its heart about asking for help, but the North Koreans not only learned the essence of Chinese culture, but also learned the dregs of the party struggle, and learned it more thoroughly, the courtiers split into the East People's Party and the West People's Party, and later the East People's Party was also split into the South People's Party and the North People's Party.

This attitude of party contention, whether right or wrong, has not eased even in the process of fleeing, and the East and West people's parties, and the southerners and northerners, have been arguing and quarreling endlessly, and even the parties are not stable within themselves.

For example, when the Ming envoys arrived in Pyongyang on June 3, Yin Doo-shou, the leader of the Westerners' Party, was not a pro-Ming faction, so he sneered at Li Hengfu, who was also a fanatical pro-Ming faction in the Westerners' Party.

Liu Chenglong is worth talking about, it can be said that if there is no Liu Chenglong, the joint operation between North Korea and Daming may have to be delayed for a long time, and it will be delayed for a long time, which is like us playing ranked, and the only reliable god teammate in the North Korean government's bunch of pig teammates is Liu Chenglong.
