"You mean, the Liaodong army should not be allowed to enter Korea, but should be conscripted into Korea? Do the Japanese have enough birds to fit up? ”

Zhu Yijun knew very well which Ming infantry had strong combat effectiveness, but he didn't know much about the Japanese regular army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, the Japanese are not the regular army of the Japanese, after all, they are still pirates, but the equipment of the regular army is not as good as that of the pirates, the minister thinks, you must be cautious, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army in this battle can only be supplemented, not the main, the cavalry is not suitable for fighting in Korea, if you want to fight against the Japanese army who are proficient in firearms, you should use the southern gunners who are also proficient in firearms and the firearms battalion trained by the ministers in Ningxia supplemented by infantry sabers, shield bearers and spearmen as the main force.

And there is another point, if the war is protracted for a long time, there are afraid of deserters, the Liaodong army is mostly Liaodong people, once they are afraid of war, timidity and war-weariness, crossing the Yalu River is their hometown, and the Ningxia soldiers and the southern gunners are far away from home, but will not run away, therefore, if you want to fight in Korea, this battle should be dominated by the northwest soldiers and the southern soldiers, and the Liaodong soldiers can only be supplemented.

What's more, the minister heard that the Liaodong generals used to bring fortune tellers before going to war, and before the war, they first divined the good fortune and the murderer, and then the battle, which was really strange, and did not hide it from Your Majesty, the minister had also heard the rumors of the Liaodong army's "bravery" in Ningxia, and I am afraid that these rumors are also clear to the Koreans.

With the Liaodong Army as the main force, it is inappropriate to neglect, and the minister bravely suggested that if this battle is opened, the Liaodong Army should not be used as the main force, so that the Liaodong cavalry can preserve its strength and deter Mongolia and Jiannu. ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the map of North Korea, nodded slightly, agreed with Xiao Ruxun's opinion, seemed to be considering the pros and cons of all this, thought for a long time, but said: "The war between Korea and Japan has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, if the courtiers use this as an excuse to oppose my sending troops and war, what should I do?" The survival of North Korea has nothing to do with our Central Plains! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the Japanese invade North Korea with an army of the whole country, then protecting North Korea is protecting China, North Korea is not guaranteed, Liaodong is worried, Liaodong is not protected, and the world is worried!"

Zhu Yijun was finally moved at this point, straightened up, and his eyes lit up.

"You go on."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are two most important things in this season, one is to requisition and dispatch elite soldiers and food from all over the country to rush to Liaodong to prepare for war, and the other is to send people into Korea to find out the number of Japanese troops who have invaded Korea, how many troops are divided, the lost cities and the current war situation, etc., to give back to our army, and then our army can move, otherwise, it must not be moved lightly!

Today's Japanese army is not a Japanese army, but a Japanese regular army, and there is still a difference between the Japanese and the Japanese, the art of war knows oneself and the enemy, and is invincible in a hundred battles, if you don't know the details of the enemy's army, and even the Japanese don't know the geometry of the troops, how should I send troops? Rushing to the army is not the best policy. ”

Listening to Xiao Ruxun's advice, Zhu Yijun kept nodding yes, and then said: "Xiao Ruxun, if I want you to fight this battle, how will you fight?" ”

Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know anything about the war situation in Korea, and he really doesn't know how to fight. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "If you respond and talk about it, I will not hand over the heavy responsibility to you, I said before, if you know what I want you to do, in addition to the reward of Ningxia, there are other rewards, now, I will give you other rewards, Zhang Cheng." ”

"No."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand, and a little eunuch handed a letter to Xiao Ruxun, who took it and was taken aback at once -- this letter was reported to the commander of Jinyiwei in the tone of a secret agent, and it wrote down the time and place of the Japanese army's landing, as well as the time and place when the Japanese army took the Korean royal capital, and the general location of a Japanese army that is currently known, and the time of payment was May 13.

Xiao Ruxun immediately looked at the map, looked at the location of the Busan area where the Japanese army landed and Seoul in Korea, landed on April 12, officially started the war on April 13, and 19 days later, on May 2, the Japanese army captured the Korean royal capital.

Konishi Yukinaga forced the Joseon king to run away from his legs, and the current situation was anxious, and the spies speculated that the Joseon king would run in the direction of Pyongyang and eventually reach Uiju in the border area, provided that the North Korea could not stop the Japanese army.

Although I had known that the speed of defeat in the early days of Korea was extremely fast, I didn't expect it to be so fast, from Busan to Seoul, they actually let the Japanese capture the capital in 19 days!

Xiao Ruxun still remembered that it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's diplomat Konishi Yukicho who captured the Korean royal capital, this guy was born as a pharmacist and was quite familiar with North Korea, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked Konishi Yukicho to be the first pioneer army to attack Korea.

However, there will be parties in every country, and there will be mountains in every army, and Konishi Yukicho is a highly despised businessman-turned-guy, and naturally there is an opposition that is not in the right way under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the most wrong way in the Japanese army that invaded Korea and Konishi Yukiro is Kato Kiyomasa, the first fierce general under Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

These two men commanded the First Army and the Second Army respectively, and landed in Korea one after another, and in order to compete for the first prize, the two of them launched the speed of life and death, desperately hurrying, for fear of falling behind each other and being humiliated.

They were cool, and the North Koreans cried.

The loss of the capital in 19 days at the start of the war can only be compared with the later World War II when Germany blitzed the small European countries.

It seems that the winner is Konishi Yukinaga, he captured the Korean royal capital, the winner of this life-and-death race, is Konishi Yukinaga, Kato Kiyomasa was angry one Buddha out of the body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and finally decisively led troops to Hamgyong Province in the northeast of Korea, Konishi Yukinaga pursued the Joseon King to the northwest corner, and was the first to meet the Ming army in the future.

In a short period of time, they carved a pair of North Korea, setting a rather brilliant example in the history of warfare, but it was precisely because of this "blitzkrieg" that they laid the groundwork for their complete defeat in the future.

So Xiao Ruxun drew a few lines on this whole map of North Korea according to this precious information.

This is a habit he developed before every battle in his previous life, slowly deducing the enemy's goals and possible tactics according to the enemy's advancing route, and then making corresponding strategies, never rashly sending troops to meet the enemy.

The first line and Konishi Yukinaga's march route to Seoul, and the second line is Kato Kiyomasa's march route to Seoul, and the current information can only end there.

In the next intelligence, the spies only gave two troops, one to the northwest and the other to the northeast, without specific information, there is no more information, and the spies can not find out the actual number of these two armies, but it is inferred that the number will not be too much, otherwise they will not be able to race to maintain order.

Xiao Ruxun knew very well that this became one of the main reasons for the first defeat of the Ming army in Korea! The second trigger was a lack of intelligence and a discrepancy within the North Koreans who were in charge of acting as guides.

No matter how stupid and incompetent the North Koreans are, they will not be beaten by the Japanese army from Busan to Seoul with only a few thousand people without resisting, even if the rebels on the road can swallow these thousands of Japanese troops, okay? How can there be only a few thousand people? The arrogance and misdirection of the Liaodong Army was the reason for the first defeat of the Ming army, if Xiao Ruxun led the army into the court, in this battle, he would not use cavalry at all, and if he wanted to use it, it was not the Liaodong Army, but Nurhachi's cavalry!

Nurhachi himself wrote to the Ming court to ask for to lead troops into North Korea to help in the war, this is his own death, but he gave up because of the opposition of the Koreans, which has always made Xiao Ruxun quite unhappy, this time, if there is a chance, Xiao Ruxun will definitely pull Nurhachi's Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry into North Korea together!

If you don't take the opportunity, you will do it!
