Chapter 891: Raiding North Korea (16)

Li Chengliang left with people, although Oda Yoshinobu was ready to invite Li Chengliang into the city for a drink, but obviously for Li Chengliang, he did not dare to enter the city no matter what. ○ Tomato --'.x-f'q'x-s'-.-comNot to mention that entering the city is equivalent to handing over the life and death of himself and his subordinates to Oda Yoshinobu, just talking about the fact that Oda Yoshinobu led the army to occupy the city of Yizhou, Li Chengliang was not in the mood to continue to stay in Yizhou at all.

After all, Korea and Japan were both vassal states of the Ming Kingdom, and if the two countries really went to war and they were completely unaware of it as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, it would be known how the imperial court would blame when they got it. So Li Chengliang just thanked Oda Yoshinobu for a while, and said a few more polite words, and left directly with the captive.

As for what Oda Yoshinobu said about accidentally killing a few people, Li Chengliang didn't care at all, because he had already seen Wang Gao standing in front of him alive, and that was enough.

Speaking of which, in history, Li Chengliang and Nurhachi have always had an inexplicable relationship, it is said that it is because Li Chengliang and Nurhachi's grandfather Jue Chang'an have a very good relationship, and even the daughter of Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhaqi married Li Chengliang's son Li Rubai as a concubine.

But obviously, Li Chengliang and the Aixin Jueluo family have nothing to do with each other, in fact, the only intersection between them now is that Jue Changan has been reporting the news about Wang Gao to Li Chengliang. Unfortunately, although Jue Chang'an tried so hard to curry favor with Li Chengliang, because he followed Wang Gao every time he plundered the border passes, this made Liaodong officials, including Li Chengliang, have a bad impression of him.

Speaking of which, when Li Chengliang left, he was very glad that he had brought enough people this time, if he only brought thousands of people, he really doubted that Oda Yoshinobu would force him to stay in Yizhou.

Well, although Oda Yoshinobu explained that he appeared here because of his feud with Joseon, what kind of revenge would directly occupy the castle of Uiju? You must know that this is the border city between the Korean and Ming kingdoms, and since this place is occupied, what about other places? You can't just bypass Oda Yoshinobu and attack Yoshishu, right?

In mid-October, Li Chengliang's recital arrived in Shuncheonfu.

"This ...... How could it be ......" When Zhang Juzheng saw Li Chengliang's recital, he was stupid directly. Oda Yoshinobu's troops were in the city of Uiju, and there were undoubtedly only two results, one of which was that the Japanese had already captured Korea. However, although this result sounds appalling, it is still an acceptable result for Zhang Juzheng.

It's just that, if it's the second, Japan and Korea unite to try to attack Ming...... That's a big problem. It's not that Ming is afraid of Japan, strictly speaking, with the strength of Ming now, no country in the world can be taken into account.

But the problem is that at this time, the new monarch has just ascended the throne, and Zhang Juzheng wants to show his ambitions for many years to carry out reforms, and even the examination method to improve the real power of the cabinet has been implemented in the first year of Wanli. If war breaks out with Japan at this time, reform will definitely run aground.

Besides, it costs money to fight a war, and it costs a lot of money, although the trade with Japan has allowed the Ming Kingdom to harvest a lot of gold and silver, but the Ming Kingdom has a lot of people, and there are more places to spend money. It can be said that Zhang Ju absolutely did not want to fight this war with Japan.

But in the end, it is not Zhang Juzheng's turn to call the shots, although he is now the first assistant of the court, but for such a major matter, he doesn't want to and can't be in charge alone.

"What? Japanese troops appeared in the city of Uiju in Korea? When Zhang Juzheng took out Li Chengliang's report, the civil and military officials of the Ming Kingdom were immediately confused. You must know that not long ago, they had just received the news that the Japanese navy had blocked the waters of Korea, so why did Japanese troops appear in Uiju all of a sudden?

"Yes, this report was sent by Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, I believe that Li Chengliang will not joke with this kind of thing." Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and immediately discussed, this matter was too sudden, and they didn't know what to do for a while. You must know that before, there were also discussions about Japan and Korea in the court, but at that time, the content of their discussions was how to make Korea apologize to Japan, and how much should be compensated for this apology, and at the same time, how to show the prestige of the Ming Kingdom and not let the two countries hate themselves. As a result, it is good now, and Japan has directly sent troops.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a tone sounded, which suddenly stopped the original discussion, "Could it be that Japan and Korea colluded with each other to lure their own countries to send troops to help......

"This ......" seems to be not impossible! Such an idea popped up in everyone's minds at the same time. It's no wonder they think so, after all, Korea has inexplicably humiliated Japan, and now the Japanese troops have suddenly appeared in the city of Uiju, this strange situation really can't allow them not to think otherwise.

Well? Japan directly contributed most of Korea's territory in one month? Well, it's not that no one thought of this idea, it's just too unrealistic, is it that the troops of the North Korean state are all paper paste? The crowd couldn't believe that it was possible.

No way, who made them not know much about the strength of Korea and Japan? After all, it is just a vassal country, and it is a wild place in the impression, how can these court officials care too much?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what the situation is, it is an undeniable fact that Oda Yoshinobu led his army to appear in Uiju. Therefore, the minister suggested that it would be better to send an envoy directly to Uiju to find out the truth and truth? The relationship between the DPRK and Japan has been much closer over the years, and it is not appropriate to act arbitrarily until the situation is confirmed. Zhang Juzheng said respectfully.

"Well, what Zhang Aiqing said is extremely true, it's just that this person chooses ......" Emperor Wanli groaned, his eyes constantly scanning the many ministers. It's just that with this gaze, all the people who were watching lowered their heads in unison. Now the situation is very weird, who knows if he will be able to come back alive after running to the mission? After all, it was in the Korean country, and there were still a large number of northern barbarians who hated the Ming country around, so it was not too easy to make some accidents or something.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to ask for help, Emperor Wanli's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he was about to say something, but he heard Zhang Juzheng say again, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Qi Jiguang, who is stationed in Jimen, can go to the envoy!" ”

"Qi Aiqing?" Emperor Wanli groaned, he was still very familiar with Qi Jiguang, because just last year, Qi Jiguang had just defeated the attack of the Northern Barbarians, which made him very happy.
