Chapter 37 The Situation in Goryeo
After the visit, Gong Shouren couldn't help but say.
"Most of the daimyo such as Tenno, Otomo, Shimazu and others have come!"
"They're here too?" Zhu Sang frowned! He really didn't want to pay much attention to these Wako Lords!
Gong Shouren nodded and said worriedly. "Heavenly King, I guess these daimyo don't just want to loot, I'm afraid they want to gain a foothold in Goryeo!"
"Hmph, then let them be, Goryeo is not so weak, they can only defend Busan at most." Zhu Sang laughed that the more Goryeo and the Wako quarreled, the better it would be for him.
"The Heavenly King also wants to stabilize the alliance, and these daimyo must also make contact." Gong Shouren persuaded.
After thinking about it, Zhu Sang nodded. "Then set up a banquet to invite our allies, but the ministries will prepare as usual, and leave on time tomorrow."
"It's the king."
Zhu Sang really didn't want to give the widow a good face, but it wasn't time yet, so he could only endure it first.
Although the laughter at the banquet was non-stop, Shimazu Yasuyasu still saw Zhu Sang's impatience.
The next day, after the main force of the Ryukyus had left, the daimyo and commanders immediately gathered to discuss.
As the commander, Otomo Yamataka first reported to the daimyo on the movements of the Goryeo army.
"Although there were 30,000 Goryeo troops in Changwon Fortress south of Busan, they could not cross the Nakdong River without sending sailors."
"And Daegu City to the west of the river has gathered more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Sung-gui's main force will inevitably enter Busan from along the river, and the Goryeo naval division has not moved."
After listening to the report of the eldest son, Otomo Xiangbei smiled with satisfaction. "The rest of the Goryeo sailors are also difficult to break through the blockade of the Ryukyu sailors, although the Goryeo soldiers are vulnerable, but the defense of the city is enough to block the Great Japanese army."
All the daimyo nodded in agreement with Otomo's statement to the north, knowing that he hadn't finished speaking, and Shimazu Yasuyasu didn't have the idea of opening his mouth.
After looking at the crowd, Otomo said again. "If the Goryeo army does not exceed 100,000, my more than 40,000 Japanese troops will go out of the city for a decisive battle."
"But if it's more than 100,000, or even 100,000?" Shimazu Shengfan frowned, he didn't want to fight to the death with Goryeo.
With a disdainful smile, Otomo Yamataka said. "King Zhusang's heading north must be to sack the northern part of Daegu City, and the Goryeo army will not dare to take care of our army with the whole army."
"Even if there are 100,000 Goryeo troops, the 40,000 or 50,000 Japanese troops we are waiting for are enough to defeat them."
Otomo's words are not easy for the daimyo to refute.
But Otomo Xiangbei couldn't help frowning.
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Shimazu Yasuyasu said. "Although our warriors are not afraid of the Goryeos, we can't lose too much, otherwise the Goryeo Army, even the Ryukyu Army, will not be polite to us!"
"This! We're allies! A big name said.
"How not! Think of Jiro Shimazu before! ”
"That's right! This Ryukyu army can't be trusted! When King Jusang left Busan, he must have planned to sit back and watch us lose both. ”
"We must not fight hard, otherwise other daimyo will not let us go!"
Annoyed to listen to it, Otomo Yamataka couldn't help but say it out loud. "If you don't fight, will you withdraw to Kyushu?"
"That's not going to work! I didn't receive any of my 30,000 warriors! "A widow will immediately export refusal.
Then the lords and daimyo fought again.
After waiting for a while, Shimazu Yasuyasu stood up, and the daimyo slowly stopped arguing.
"For many years, it is only our warriors of Kyushu Island who have invaded Busan, and Busan must not give up easily, since the Koreans can defend it, we can also defend it."
Otomo nodded secretly to the north, he also thought the same.
"But! If the Goryeo army besieges Axe Mountain, how long can we hold it? Most of the grain has been shipped back to the island! ”
I don't want everyone to say more, Otomo said it to the north. "Rest assured. There were still 20,000 or 30,000 sailors on the dock who could advance and retreat freely, which was enough for the Goryeo army not to dare to disperse their forces too much. ”
As soon as he said it to the North Chief, the commanders immediately figured it out.
Everyone just smiled, heading north
The daimyo said again. "It's just that this Ryukyu sailor can't be single-minded!"
"This!"
"This Ryukyu army is indeed unreliable!"
"Since the Koreans have support, it's not like we don't have support, so it's better to do it!" Halfway through speaking, Shimazu kept his mouth shut.
The daimyo commanders also immediately pondered!
"There are many people in Goryeo, and it is not something that we can monopolize Kyushu Island!" Shimazu Yasuyasu sighed!
Originally, they also planned to just sack the coast of Goryeo, and by the way, defeat the Goryeo army to promote the bravery of the Kyushu samurai.
But they didn't expect that the Goryeo Navy Division would be defeated so easily, and this Axe Mountain Heavy City would be vulnerable!
As soon as everyone was silent, Otomo Xiangbei said firmly. "You can invite the daimyo of Shikoku Island to attack Changwon and occupy the southern coast of Goryeo on our Kyushu Island."
"With tens of thousands of horses on Shikoku Island, we can advance and retreat to defeat Goryeo, and we don't even have to rely on the Ryukyu army anymore."
As soon as Otomo finished speaking to the north, Otomo Yamataka immediately laughed. "That's right, that's right! We will occupy the southern part of Goryeo first when we wait for the two islands, and then we will be able to move north in a few years. ”
"Well said!"
"The strength of Shikoku Island is not as good as ours, and they can still unite with the three friends and daimyo!"
"I agree!"
"Send someone to invite them immediately!"
When the Japanese and Goryeo armies were preparing for a decisive battle, Zhu Sang also sent 30,000 soldiers and soldiers to sack the area northwest of Busan and north of Daegu City.
In Busan, the young woman still grabbed it directly, but this time Zhu Sang ordered to spend money to buy it.
Along the way, they only robbed the rich households in the compound, not only distributed some food to the common people, but also ordered the villagers to distribute the land occupied by the landlords by themselves.
As for the rich landlords, they were not killed, but they all became prisoners of the Ryukyu army.
…
The invasion of more than 100,000 Japanese and Ryukyu coalition forces made Li Chenggui dare not despise it.
Especially the Ryukyu Army, which destroyed the water division and broke through Axe Mountain, made the King of Goryeo even more worried about whether this Zhusang prince was specially arranged by Emperor Ming.
After another 10 days, the Goryeo Kingdom had assembled more than 100,000 Goryeo troops in Daegu City.
However, this time, the remaining Goryeo naval divisions did not go out again, but defended the seaside cities such as Seoul, the capital of the capital.
Whether to attack the Japanese or the Zhusang tribe first, the Goryeo generals debated for several days.
"King, the Japanese are increasing their troops, and they must first take back Busan!"
"Absolutely not! The Japanese army was extremely powerful, and as long as they strictly defended Changwon, Daegu and other cities, they could curb the Japanese from consuming their food and equipment. ”
"The Ryukyu army is dividing the land and grain to bewitch those stupid mud legs, and the king should destroy the Ryukyu army first! Otherwise, Ju-san will inevitably threaten the foundation of Goryeo! ”
Listening to Zhong Wenwu's proposal, Li Chenggui also felt very embarrassed.
To be honest, he didn't want to have a conflict with the Ming army, although the Japanese were strong, they were also elite among those warriors, but this Ming Iron Army was fighting in the south and the north, and even the Northern Yuan was crippled by it!
And this Ryukyu Army is itself a Ming Army! But Zhu Sang is buying people's hearts, so that Li Chenggui can't eat his blood.
After thinking about it, Li Chenggui planned to drive Zhu Sang away first and then teach those dirt a lesson, he didn't dare to kill Zhu Sang, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would definitely have an excuse to send troops to Goryeo.
In order to deal with this scourge of the Japanese invaders, more than 200,000 troops were mobilized in southern Goryeo, and there were more than 100,000 young and strong people.
If the Ming army invaded, Goryeo would no longer be able to support the Liaodong border.
