Historically, the Joseon court did not think of asking for help from the Ming Kingdom until Toyotomi Hideyoshi captured Pyongyang, the last of the three capitals. This is not only due to a miscalculation of the enemy's strength, but also a clear overestimation of one's own strength. And now...... It's a pity that they don't even have the opportunity to make the same mistakes.

Upon arriving in Seoul, Niwa Nagahide immediately began to storm Seoul, sending ninjas to guard the various exits of the Han Dynasty to intercept anyone who tried to leave the city.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The loud bang was deafening, it was the light artillery that Niwa Nagahide had brought with his army. Let the people hiding in Seoul be terrified, but also have deep doubts, when did Japan have such powerful artillery?

Unfortunately, no one could answer them, and the only thing they could do was hide behind the walls and shiver. Well...... Well, in fact, they can also rush out and fight the enemy, just like those wars that happened in other provinces, although they do this only to speed up the fall of the city.

In just one day, several cities fell in Hachido, Korea, and countless towns were occupied. In the face of the powerful Oda army, the troops of the Korean state could not even achieve a stalemate. How terrible is it that we have not cultivated weapons for more than 200 years? Just look at the Korean state, the generals do not know how to command, and the soldiers do not cooperate.

"Tsk...... This is the combat effectiveness of the DPRK? Maeda Keiji looked speechlessly at the North Korean troops in front of him who were fleeing frantically with one blow, and he only felt that there were tens of thousands of *** rushing by.

Originally, he also hoped to rely on the first battle to make up for the regret of not being able to participate in the battle with Takeda, Uesugi and other forces before. But now? He only felt that the combat effectiveness of these North Korean troops was not comparable to those opponents he had encountered before.

"Hehe, it's normal, North Korea hasn't fought a war for more than 200 years, and its country has just ended the troubled times. To put it mildly, the vast majority of the country's peasants have experienced more wars than the Korean generals. Yoshinobu Oda chuckled.

Saying that, after seeing the helpless expression on Maeda Keiji's face, Oda Yoshinobu laughed and comforted, "Don't worry, sooner or later there will be a strong enemy to satisfy your kid's desire to fight." Although, I wish all the enemies were like them. ”

Time passed little by little, and the vast majority of the North Korean troops were basically vulnerable in the face of the Oda army. Although it is not without people who dare to fight hard, in the face of the muskets and artillery of the Oda Army, there are not many things they can really do.

At sea, the Oda Navy has completed a complete blockade, and in the face of the Galen ships full of artillery, the North Korean naval forces have no room to fight back or even escape.

Perhaps, the only thing that can make the Korean civilians happy is that the Japanese troops who captured the city did not loot or kill them. On the contrary, they also took the initiative to quell the chaos and stabilize the people's minds. This, naturally, was Oda Yoshinobu's order.

"No one is allowed to disturb the people except war! Whoever robs, kills, or commits adultery with civilians, regardless of status, shall be put to death immediately! The general and the lieutenant supervise each other! Oda Yoshinobu ordered before leaving.

For this order, all chose to do what they were told. They also understand the reason why Oda Yoshinobu did this, the population, Japan is really short of population right now! If too many people die, not only will there be no way to support the country, but many parts of Korea will also become wasteland.

At this time in Japan, an interesting news appeared in the Azuchi monthly newspaper, several people from Qingzhou in the Ming Kingdom, claiming to be descendants of the ministers of the Lu family Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains, hoping to find the descendants of the King of Qi who had been exiled to Japan.

"In the past, the Tian clan was autocratic and exiled the last monarch, Duke Qi Kang, to the islands near the sea. Later, Qi Kanggong died of illness, and the Lu Qi Kingdom, which was passed down from Jiang Taigong's lineage, became extinct. The leader said to Oda Nobunaga, "But then the ancestor of the lower generation, that is, the courtiers of the Duke of Saiyasu, discovered that when he was exiled overseas, the Duke of Saiyasu quietly sent his children away by boat. Over the years, I have traveled all over the Ryukyu and Korea countries but have not been able to find the orphans of our ancestors, but in recent years, I have heard that Japan has returned to peace, so I came here on purpose. ”

In this regard, Oda Nobunaga nodded with interest, and even ordered Oda Nobutada, who remained in Japan, to take charge of this matter and help find the descendants of Qi Kanggong. At the same time, as the news spread, many people became more interested in Japan's ancestors.

After all, from ancient times to the present, except for the Yuan Dynasty, Japan has always admired and admired the Central Plains Dynasty. The reason is also very simple, the Central Plains Dynasty has always symbolized advanced civilization, and any items, knowledge, and technology transmitted from the Central Plains Dynasty can set off a wave in Japan. And now, many people are boiling when they know that many princes and nobles of the Central Plains Dynasty may be scattered in Japan.

You must know that although the Oda family has unified the world, its origin is still a very valued thing. Even if it is just an ordinary peasant, once it is discovered that his ancestor is actually a relative of a certain prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, he will definitely immediately soar. After all, in this era, many people in order to change their backgrounds, but they go around recognizing their fathers and marriages.

It's just that this matter has caused heated discussions among the people, and even some small families are very enthusiastic, but many big forces are just watching from the sidelines. Without him, this thing seems too weird.

"What exactly does Father want to do?!" Oda Nobutada looked at the sky outside, his expression a little cloudy.

Oda Nobutada is 17 years old this year, and although he is still young, he has been a samurai for 6 years. has experienced wars and dealt with countless government affairs, and in general, compared with Oda Nobunaga of the same age in the past, he is only stronger than not weaker. But even so, Oda Nobunaga still did not hand over the position of the young master of the Oda family to him. This made Oda Nobutada puzzled and vigilant at the same time.

Speaking of which, according to the general situation, many governors will hand over the position of young master to their eldest son soon after he is born. This position of the young master does not have any real power, but more of a symbolic meaning, which means that once there is any accident in the governor, the young lord will become the governor.

And after a period of time in Yuanfu, the eldest son, the family governor will give up the position of the family governor to the young master, and he will live in seclusion behind the scenes to help guide, this is so that he can control the family faster without any accidents.

But now...... Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to have this intention at all, but after making Oda Nobutada the deputy official of Mino and Owari, there was no follow-up. In this case, Oda Nobutada cannot be allowed not to think about it.
