A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 11 Chapter 61: Stalemate (10) [partial narrative]

After taking Nanyuan, Hideyoshi ordered a **** massacre, leaving the whole city alone.

There is not much purpose, it is purely for venting anger.

Next, Jeonju in the north.

The two armies from the left and right converged, easily occupied this empty city, and carried out another massacre. It was too late to escape, or the people of the Li Dynasty who had some illusions about the Japanese were empty.

Obviously, it was different from the period of the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. At that time, they would act in the name of Anmin and pretend to be teachers of benevolence and righteousness.

Now I don't even bother to make a look. Whether it's the left army or the right army, they are all on their respective marching roads, dyeing a road paved with blood.

Those rebels scattered among the forests and valleys didn't even need to ask for information. Based on the degree of blood drying and the temperature and state of the fireworks in the villages and towns, they could judge the movements of the Japanese army.

Burn the house down.

Slaughter Village.

These have completely become the words of the Japanese, and the monks who accompanied the army sighed that the entire Jeolla road has become a "red country", and many battlefields and corpse pits that have not been dealt with have spawned a lot of strange things.

Neither ghosts, nor demons, nor demons.

Extraordinarily terrifying.

After slaughtering several cities in a row, Hideyoshi's anger subsided a little, and he originally planned to stop his soldiers.

But the old monkey thought about it, the last time he invaded, he was tender enough, but the pariahs didn't appreciate it at all. This time, he simply slaughtered Jeolla Road to deter other Taoists and make them honest.

In this way, after venting their animal desires, the Japanese army's second-stage strategic goal was launched. The navy who came to help out went along the river to the coastal areas to clear potential threats and build small fortresses.

The main force on land, divided into two groups, marched towards Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do at the same time, and must take Seoul within half a month.

And the Ming army, who had already been stationed in the south, also detected that the Japanese pirates were anxiously heading north.

Among them, there is also bad news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally supervised the battle.

In any case, the old monkey is barely considered the king of a country. Although there are emperors in their country, Daming awarded the name of the king to Hideyoshi after the last war.

Because of this, Yang Hao once again approached the Joseon King Li Heng and asked him to also personally go to the front line to boost morale.

In order to show his sincerity, the high-ranking Yang Jinglue made a bold statement that he would personally follow Li Ye and protect him!

The King of Joseon was so frightened that he ordered someone to pack his bags secretly, and he lowered his head and muttered:

Right now, the army is in chaos, and the swords and firearms on the battlefield do not have eyes. You are a distinguished guest from the Ming Dynasty, how can you take the risk yourself? In case of a mishap, who will preside over the overall situation.

He was worried about Yang Hao, but in his heart he was still reluctant to bear him. Li Ye really felt that with ten thousand people, he couldn't keep Seoul at all.

If it wasn't for the **** scolding last time, Daming's words were stern, claiming: If he said that he would run away, he would withdraw his troops, and how would he persist to this day?

At the moment, I can only sneakily transfer private property and family members together with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Seeing Li Ying, the head of the foreign agency, he was fumbling and hesitating, and he was almost clinging to the pillars, wiping his nose and tears, obviously he couldn't explain it.

Yang Jinglue flicked his sleeves and walked away with a cold snort.

No need to say it, the king of Joseon knew that he must be blaming himself for not being able to support the wall with mud.

If you can't help it, you can't help it.

When he went to Daming in the future, that kind and unfamiliar elder brother of the emperor would give him more or less preferential treatment. After all, he was also a dignified prince, and his title was higher than that of courtiers.

Is it necessary to have the general knowledge of people whose status is not as good as you? Li Ye figured it out in an instant and began to recall a few years ago.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had been hinting through various channels that Japanese pirates were likely to launch large-scale aggression, reminding them to prepare for war as soon as possible.

However, everyone is used to having fun, knowing that this is the case, but they just don't act.

Besides, the army, which was so rotten to the point of its appearance, couldn't be used much, no matter how much it was arranged.

When the Japanese thieves actually landed and launched an attack, the Ming Dynasty issued an official message again, asking if they needed help.

Li Ye followed the courtier's wishes and sent a reply letter. The subtext was: "Small problem, don't worry about it, we can handle it ourselves, don't worry."

However, this is obviously a dead duck's mouth.

At that time, the Japanese pirates were victorious in successive battles, and they had already captured Seoul, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had to move to Pyongyang with them.

At this moment, Tong Yangzheng, the deputy commander-in-chief of Kuandianbao in Daming, who was closest to the peninsula, noticed something was wrong and took the initiative to cross the Yalu River to ask Yizhou officials if they needed support.

[Our country has enough troops, so there is no need to work the Celestial Empire]

That's exactly what it said.

Tong Yangzheng reluctantly retreated.

Party struggle, good face, and many factors caused the Li Chao to delay too many fighters, so that the Ming Dynasty received the letter of credentials for help. After learning the truth, he had to doubt whether there was a conspiracy.

There have always been rumors that Li Chao has colluded with the Japanese to come to Daming.

Otherwise, with a lot of natural dangers to defend, and with hundreds of thousands of armors, how could the Li Dynasty, which is barely considered a big country, fall so quickly.

Li Ying clearly remembered that while defending, he thought:

Daming is a country of parents. Children are beaten outside and go back to their parents' house to eat and drink, isn't it too much?

During the tormented waiting, Daming's father quickly found out the truth, and immediately sent reinforcements, and asked a general named Guo Mengzheng to give him 20,000 taels of silver, saying it was comfort...

all in all.

Various experiences in the past made Li Ying long for the Celestial Dynasty from the bottom of his heart, where there was a brother of the emperor who had never met, but was extremely forthright.

So, when the crisis came again, he didn't want to resist, but instead focused on embracing.

Unfortunately, the Wanli Emperor, who was far away in Yanjing, was already somewhat disgusted by this half-brother with different surnames.

But Li Ye didn't know it.

In fact, Li Chao and the Japanese state have been dragged down by the perennial war, which has dragged down the people's livelihood, and Daming, who has internal worries, also feels a little tired and impatient.

Inside the court, whether it is the main peace faction or the main war faction, now silently reach an agreement:

The big guy should finish his work in one battle, and drive the island country devils into the sea with thunderous momentum. Don't delay it any longer, and let the national finances quickly breathe a sigh of relief.

Therefore, the principles that were set at the outbreak of the war were further implemented—

More troops, more troops, more troops!

At present, there are less than 10,000 people guarding Seoul, which is really difficult, but as long as they stick to it for a period of time, the crisis can be resolved.

Because Li Rumei, Li Fangchun, Zu Chengxun and other generals in Liaodong have crossed the Yalu River for a long time, it is expected that they will arrive at Li Chao Gyeonggi Province in another half a month.

And this is the first wave of support.

The second wave of support must be in place in one step to achieve the goal of driving the devils into the sea at one time.

Since it is a big move, it will involve all aspects, so it is impossible to complete it this year.

You must know that Liaodong and Xuanda have already sent a large army to the peninsula to fight against the Japanese, and the rest are shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the northern part of Daming. How could it be possible to weaken the defense force of the capital uncontrollably for an extra story?

The Ming court had only one way left, and that was to select troops and commanders from all over the country.

In addition, a series of logistical supply problems brought about by the increase in military strength cannot be solved overnight.

[There are large monsters in this world, and the size of the ships is even more exaggerated. Accordingly, those soldiers who can carry the cauldron need to eat more food to supplement their physical strength. 】

For now, this major project has quietly begun. The 4,000 Zhejiang soldiers of the guerrilla general Lan Fangwei and the 3,000 cavalry of the former battalion general Wang Guodong have been circled on the list by the Wanli Emperor.

Liaodong, Xuanda, Jiangnan, Sichuan-Chongqing, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau were all on the list. They just waited for the winter to pass, and when the spring began, they set off to kill Japanese pirates in foreign countries.

Among them, three of them were set early.

General of the broadsword Liu Wei.

He used a giant iron sword. He used to fight rebels in Myanmar and guarded the southwest border. Later, he was transferred to Sichuan and Chongqing as a general. When the Japanese were in chaos, he was excited when he heard that the court was going to fight with the little devils. :

"I'm waiting for my big sword to come in handy!"

Liu Qi immediately asked the imperial court to allow him to go out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese. The imperial court also felt that a tiger general was also idle when he was idle, so he asked him to lead five thousand Sichuan troops and go to a foreign country to kill little devils.

General Dasao received the official order and happily led his army to set off. However, the journey was really long. By the time he reached the battlefield on the peninsula, the devil was no longer able to stand up...

In other words.

Li Rusong took the Liaodong army to show off the limelight and drove the Japanese out of Pyongyang, making them completely give up the attack and lose their energy.

And Liu Wei held a big sword and marched all the way in a hurry. As a result, he didn't win a big battle. After two years of soy sauce, he had no choice but to return to China.

Now in the second war, he has received hints from the imperial court. Although he is several years older than the first expedition, Liu Wei still can't help screaming, and he has to let the little devil know how fierce Liu Dadao's big sword is. .

No one is perfect.

Liu Wei has a very speechless problem:

Greed for money.

Not only that, he felt that everyone was as greedy for money as he was.

It was the first time he went out to Sichuan to fight the Japanese, and he had both credit and hard work. It stands to reason that promotion and making a fortune were a certainty, but if he wanted to make more money, he went to bribe Song Xingzu, the censor.

Who are they? O censor!

Responsible for monitoring and impeaching hundreds of officials!

Even when Song Xingzu sued the court.

In the end, Emperor Wanli didn't get into it. After all, the warriors were simple-minded, so they would neither reward nor punish, and even sent him to Bozhou to quell Yang Yinglong's rebellion.

With the strong support of the local governor, Liu Qi lived up to expectations and won a big victory.

It should be rewarded!

However, Liu Wei's old problem was committed again, and he ran to bribe the governor's father. No accident, he stabbed the court again.

Emperor Wanli couldn't help but want to grab him by the collar and asked: What are you trying to do? Afraid that I won't give you a promotion? Don't go sideways!

However, Liu Wei was indeed capable of fighting, and especially loved to chop off the heads of little devils, so at this moment, he was determined by the imperial court early.

Next is Dong Yiyuan.

The descendants of Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar in the Han Dynasty, but their family has become a general. His father and brother are both famous generals. Veteran of things.

Finally, Chen Lin.

The title the emperor intends to give him is:

The imperial envoy commanded the sailors and the imperial Japanese general.

After all, once the time for the general attack is ripe, it must be a simultaneous advance!

This means that in the long war, the Daming Navy, who has always remained silent, is about to set sail for an expedition.

And Chen Lin, as a tycoon in Guangdong and Guangxi, has two thousand sailors, two thousand infantry, and nearly five thousand wolf soldiers under his command, all of whom are good at fighting devils.

The wolf soldiers have always been the main force in the fight against the Japanese. Long before the Qi family army was established, the wolf soldiers used their brave fighting style to make the Japanese pirates fearless.

But still the same sentence: No one is perfect.

Liu Jing is honest and honest, and he wants to cling to the civil servants, but because of his poor political means, he is always harassed by others.

This Chen Lin is really bad, he is not ambiguous in beating devils, but the same is true for beating his own people.

He occupied everything that the hooligans did, and this kind of person was still in a high position.

It was foreseeable that once the navy led by Chen Lin arrived on the peninsula, it would definitely be a shock.

Of course, General Lu doesn't care about next year's big counteroffensive plan.

Now is the end of autumn. According to the original history, after the defense of Seoul is completed, and another counter-offensive is attempted, the coalition forces of the Ming and dynasties and the Japanese pirates will enter the stage of strategic stalemate and survive the cold winter that is not suitable for combat.

However, history has taken a big turn.

The old monkey Hideyoshi came to the peninsula, and with it sitting in the army in person, 100,000 Japanese pirates launched a strong attack regardless of casualties, and it is very possible to break through Seoul.

"Ma Gui has several thousand men and horses in his hands, plus natural dangers, he can be an army of 20,000."

The Black Emperor, the giant turtle ship.

Many actors are pondering on the sand table.

There are no outsiders around, so they are a lot more casual in terms of their names.

"Three to four lines of defense."

"Ma Gui's general, Xie Sheng, was stationed at the outermost perimeter and had the largest number of troops, estimated at three or four thousand.

After all, Chen Yuzhong, a guy with no seeds, should have about 1,500 cavalry with him when he retreated from the whole prefecture. "

Lu Li didn't sell the trick, he directly stated the facts:

"There are 2,000 people in the second line of defense. If the front line fails to withstand the pressure, they will come up at any time."

"With a total of 6,000 people, how many days can it hold off a 100,000-strong army? The third line of defense and the fourth line of defense can actually be regarded as the same. Suwon and Seoul themselves are close together, and they can kill 3,000 people."

Wei Feng broke the facts.

In the eyes of the actors, the military deployment map around Seoul is completely transparent, unless...

"Nanyuan has spent more than half a month, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and others can't do nothing, Li Rumei is probably coming soon." Lu Li was a little excited.

When the Liaodong Army arrived in Seoul, the room for itself would be wider, so there was no need to worry about what the Admiral Ma Gui would do.

Besides, Jinglue Yang Hao is half his own.

"At the current speed, we will be able to enter the Han River basin in two days, and we will definitely be able to catch up with the defense battle, but it is not clear whether the front line can withstand the pressure."

Wei Feng said with anticipation: "Except for the naval battle a few days ago, our group has never won at sea. I hope that we can transfer it ashore."

"The generals under Ma Gui's command are all hard-boiled, dare to fight and fight, and it is not a problem to last for four or five days."

When the words fell, Lu Li stood on the deck, looking at the direction of Tian'an, secretly worried.

The only way for the Japanese to go north.

Tian'an.

Xie Sheng, a front-line general of the Ming army, was preparing for the battle with all his strength, and he did not enter Tianan City hastily.

Although it is not clear what method Lu Zongbing used to stay in Nanyuan for so long and obtain an extraordinary achievement, Xie Sheng carefully weighed himself.

With his military strength, if he dared to play like this, defending a city and fighting against the Japanese soldiers, he wouldn't be able to last long.

It would be better to take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Jishan nearby to deal with the enemy and buy more time.

It is true that Xuan Da and Liaodong didn't deal with them very much, but at a critical moment, everyone was a wise man, from Ma Gui and below, in fact, they were all looking forward to Li Rumei's arrival.
