Chapter 262: The Japanese Invade the Dynasty
Early the next morning, Wanli called Zhang Yun and said that he had decided to transfer Zhang Cheng back to the capital. However, he was not immediately asked to be the commander of the East Factory, but only let him be a master of ceremonies.
Zhang Yun glanced in Feng Bao's direction, his face was gloomy at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yun glanced at Zhang Cheng again, and at this moment he could be said to be like a spring breeze, with a proud face.
Last night, he followed Zhang Yun's advice, hugged Wanli's leg and began to cry. said that he was old, and it was estimated that he would not see him next time, with a handful of snot and tears.
Wanli relented for a while, so he transferred Zhang Cheng back to Beijing. As for the eunuch guarding Nanjing, he will be appointed after Wanli returns to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, the weather is just right today, should we go out for a while?" Zhang Yun saw that Wanli was in a good mood, and proposed to Wanli.
"Well, it's okay, I'll take a good look around this Nanjing city today."
Not long after, Wanli appeared on the streets of Nanjing City under the protection of the guards. Since it's not yet night, there aren't that many merchants.
However, it is just right for Wanli and his party, if there are too many people, there is no interest in playing.
No, as soon as he entered the street, Wanli turned into a curious baby, asking at this food and that thing. made everyone embarrassed, and looked at Zhang Yun and the others with a bitter face.
Zhang Yun smiled at the boss, and then took out a silver ingot and slapped it in the boss's hand. "This is my friend, from the capital, and I hope the boss will take care of me."
"Well said, well said!" The boss took the silver and immediately put on a smiling face.
Wanli still wanted to argue with the boss, but Zhang Yun pulled him over and shook his head at him. Wanli then put down his mood, took a few more gadgets and left the stall satisfied.
When the time came to noon, Wanli came to a restaurant, asked for a few side dishes, and ate a delicious meal. Seeing that the sun was too big, I found a teahouse and listened to the opera for an afternoon.
The singers in the audience were babbling and singing, and Wanli was a little interested at first, but as time went by, she fell asleep.
In the evening of the same day, the guests of the teahouse gradually dispersed, Zhang Yun looked up at the sky and patted Wanli on the shoulder. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" Wanli slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yun with sleepy eyes. "Oh, it's so late."
Then Wanli got up and stretched. "Let's go back, I feel tired today before I have walked far."
Several people laughed, and then followed Wanli back to the dormitory to rest.
Thousands of miles away, in Hakata Bay, five hundred warships were ready to go, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood on the main ship in battle armor. He first glanced at his own soldiers, and then at the people on the shore with bitter yellow faces, and his heart sank.
Previously, the Japanese islands were fiercely cut by Zhang Yun, and the domestic contradictions were extremely intense. In order to divert domestic contradictions, he had to put his mind on North Korea.
Looking at the many subordinates with solemn faces, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had already made a decision in his heart and shouted at the fleet. "Let's go!"
"Boom!" With Toyotomi Hideyoshi's order, the fleet broke through the waves and marched towards Goryeo under the expectation of the people.
After the fleet traveled for about half an hour, Zhang Rulong stepped forward and asked, "General, why don't we call Tokugawa Ieyasu." ”
"If we go, we will inevitably be besieged by the Ming army, if we are defeated, won't we make a wedding dress for him?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't answer immediately, and stared at the sea in front of him with a pair of eyes.
After a long time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi slowly spoke: "I left him in Japan in the hope that if something happens to me, he can come to the rescue." ”
"But ......" Zhang Rulong was about to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"You don't need to say much, I have my own decision, you just need to carry out the order."
Zhang Rulong sighed, then walked away and stopped talking.
The bright moon in the sky illuminates the night as if it were day. Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked up at Mingyue, opened his arms, and prayed secretly in his heart.
At dawn the next day, before the Korean defenders woke up, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's warship crept out of the fog.
"Plop, plop!" As they approached, a number of would-be robbers jumped into the icy waters and touched the bunkers.
At this time, the defenders were still asleep, and several of the Japanese had already touched them. Several people glanced at each other, drew the dagger from their waists, covered the defender's mouth, and wiped it off with a knife. The defenders lost their lives before they had time to shout in their sleep.
After doing all this, several vanguard soldiers waved their hands at the people behind them. Toyotomi Hideyoshi understood, nodded towards the vanguard, and with a wave of his hand, let the army behind him land and leave.
Upon landing in Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately divided his troops into nine parts, each led by nine of his cronies.
First Army: Yukinaga Konishi, 18,000 men.
Second Army: Kiyomasa Kato, 22,000 men.
Third Army: Kuroda Nagamasa, 12,000 men.
Fourth Army: Shimazu Yoshihiro, 14,500 men.
Fifth Army: Fukushima Masanori, 25,000 men.
Sixth Army: Kobayakawa Takakei, 15,000 men.
Seventh Army: Maori Terumen, 30,000 men.
Eighth Army: Ukita Hideya, 11,000 men.
Ninth Army: Yuchai Hidekatsu, 12,000 men.
More than 150,000 people in total.
After going ashore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi called Konishi Yukinaga and patted him on the shoulder. "Go ahead, let Goryeo see how brave our Japanese warriors really are."
"Hey." Konishi nodded in response. He immediately led his first army and became the vanguard of the army that crusaded against Korea.
In the evening of the same day, Yukicho Konishi came to Busan with his army, and looked at the dilapidated Busan, Konishi Yukicho couldn't help but sneer.
"Siege!" As soon as he roared, countless Japanese samurai carried the ladder and kept roaring towards Busan City.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The defenders of the city hurriedly launched a counterattack.
The pirates climbed up the walls under a rain of arrows and rolling stones, and the defenders of the city swung their spears and dropped the rolling stones, knocking down a crowd of pirates.
"Bang, bang, bang!!" Not far away, the Japanese were shooting at the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall kept falling.
Suddenly, the whole wilderness rang out with the sound of gunfire and all kinds of screams. The Japanese were not afraid of death, and the Korean army had been sparse for a long time, and soon some of them climbed the city wall along the ladder.
"Kill !!" As soon as they entered the city, the Japanese invaders shouted and killed the Korean army, but the Korean army could not resist, except for a few who abandoned the city and left, most of them fell on the city wall.
Yukinaga Konishi watched all this indifferently, as if he were enjoying a performance.
"General, it's all taken care of, and now you can enter the city." While he was intoxicated, an adjutant general came to report it.
Konishi nodded, "Hmm." Then he stepped on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and slowly walked into the city.
After entering the city, looking at the people in the city, Konishi Yukicho and the others showed evil smiles. I saw him open his arms, close his eyes and roar.
The soldiers, knowing what he meant, smiled lewdly and ran towards the homes of the inhabitants of the city.
"Brutes, you brutes." An old man in Busan City stepped forward, grabbed Konishi Yukicho's collar, and kept shaking and scolding.
Konishi Yukinaga sneered, then drew the katana at his waist and slashed at the old man. There was a blood mark on the old man's neck, and he hurriedly covered his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.
"Ahem...... the old man's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with two coughs, completely out of life.
Governor Konishi didn't look at the old man, stepped over his corpse, and walked straight into the inner city.
"Hahaha... Flower girl, flower girl. "In the inner city, countless obscene widows let out loud lewd laughter and rushed towards the women in the city.
"Brutes, you brutes, let me go, ah!! Let me go. "The woman who was raped by the Japanese was struggling desperately, but this aroused their animal desires.
The more fierce the North Korean women's resistance, the more excited they became. As for the man, the Japanese directly chose to kill them all.
All of a sudden, the city of Busan was filled with the wails of various women and the lascivious laughter of the Japanese invaders.
For the next three days, the widows committed their own atrocities, from the seventy-year-old woman to the eight-year-old child.
Even pregnant women were brutally raped by them, and they even brutally picked out the child in the pregnant woman's womb afterwards.
When they were done, the would-be robbers got dressed and walked out of the house with a lewd smile on their faces. The only women who had been raped were left stunned, clawing at the tattered rags to cover their bruised bodies.
There was a woman who couldn't accept it, and she hit the pillar directly and died on the spot. There are even some frenzied widows, and after the incident, they brutally killed the raped woman.
After three days of devastation, Busan became a living hell.
Konishi Yukicho couldn't help but smile smugly as he looked at the ruined Busan Castle and at the conquered woman. He stood on a high place and admired his masterpiece.
Just as he was secretly smug, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice. "Konishi-kun, the general urged us to leave quickly."
"yes, got it." Yukicho Konishi nodded.
After a while, he urged his subordinates to pack up and continue to set off forward. With satisfied smiles, the would-be robbers walked briskly towards the outskirts of Busan.
Konishi Yukicho walked for more than an hour before people in the city gradually took to the streets. Most of them were glazed over, and they were traumatized both mentally and physically.
"Daddy, Daddy... Wake up, mother, mother... Wake up. A boy who had been hidden ran out, saw that his father and mother were dead, and cried helplessly beside his father's body.
Japan didn't dare to bully the Ming Dynasty, and now that it has caught a country weaker than him, it naturally plays with life's bullying. Throughout the history of Japan, it can be described in four words: "Bullying the weak and fearing the hard." ”
Whether it is now or in the future, it is crazy bullying to meet someone weaker than him. Once he meets someone stronger than him, he will be like a grandson.
These so-called famous generals of the Warring States Period in Japan are not even second-rate generals if they are placed in the Ming Dynasty. It's okay to kill ordinary people, but if you really want to run into Li Rusong, it's just a stepping stone to Li Rusong's fame.
Konishi grew out of Busan Castle and continued to run towards Seoul, the capital of North Korea. At this moment, he had begun to look at Pyongyang, the ancient capital of North Korea, as if the whole of North Korea was already under his feet.
This is indeed the case in history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army all the way to Pyongyang, the ancient capital of North Korea, and drove the king of Joseon to Daming to ask for reinforcements.
But that's about it.
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi was defeated by Yi Sunsin, and Li Rusong crossed the Yalu River, he was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and fled back to Japan in embarrassment, and was finally defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Since then, Japan has ended the Sengoku period and entered the rule of the shogunate.
The Korean campaign lasted six years, and the Ming was emptied of the treasury. However, because Zhang Yun, the future butterfly, instigated its wings, perhaps the situation will change.
