Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1760 Aiding Korea and Fighting the Japanese ([-]) Relocated to Pyongyang
Li Yan was eager to relocate, even if the courtiers were dissatisfied, they could only follow orders.Therefore, Yi Doshou in Kaesong called his officials to discuss the relocation.

Li Dexin was the first to say: "When we arrived in Kaesong earlier, the king had already announced publicly that he would stick to Kaesong with the people. Now that we are relocating again, wouldn't we be dishonest to the people?"

Of course Yi Doushou also understands this truth, but right now he has no choice but to avoid the issue of dishonesty from the people, and only talk about the current crisis, saying: "It only takes half a day for the Japanese army to leave the city, if the frontline defense fails again, it will definitely endanger the king, so Right now, Wang Jia must move to Pyongyang as soon as possible."

Hong Ruchun, Hu Cao's judge, echoed: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is very true. The enemy is too close, and the royal family is in trouble. At present, the only way to protect the royal family is to relocate immediately."

Li Dexin frowned and asked: "The enemy bandits are in Wangjing, and they haven't moved a single bit so far, but my court's order will be changed overnight and then relocated, it will definitely cause chaos among the people and lose all morale."

Du Chengzhi Li Hengfu comforted us, saying: "It's not that we don't know the meaning of the governor, but we are worried about the enemy and the reason why we don't move is a trap set to paralyze us."

"That makes sense!" Yi Doshou immediately interjected, "If the enemy tricks us and delays for a long time, and then is surrounded by a surprise attack, the country will perish. Therefore, the most urgent thing is to keep the king at a safe distance from the Japanese army."

After Yi Doushou finished speaking, he suddenly found that all the officials did not look at him, but looked at another place instead.Yi Doushou took a closer look, but it was Liu Chenglong who came.Yi Doushou's face darkened, and he shouted: "A person who has lost his official position and no rank, how can he come to this country's central place! Hurry up and leave."

Liu Chenglong didn't answer, but turned his head to Jin Yingnan, the judge of Cao Cao, and asked, "What is the status of King Qin's reinforcements?"

Jin Yingnan replied: "More than 9000 sergeants have been recruited to Huanghai Road and Ping'an Road, and [-] sergeants have been withdrawn from Wangjing, plus more than [-] reinforcements from Jeolla Province, a total of [-] More than [-] people."

Liu Chenglong's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "With an army of more than [-] in hand, not only did he not think about fighting back, but he just abandoned the city and fled to the north—have you never read "Six Kingdoms"?
'Cut five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight.Starting to look at the four realms, and Qin Bing came to the end.However, the land of the princes is limited, and the desire to tyranny the Qin Dynasty is insatiable.Therefore, the victory of the strong and the weak without a fight has been judged. 'Fleeing all the way like today, there will be nowhere to escape. "

Yi Doushou was furious, and shouted: "Have you had enough! I also want to fight back immediately, but what good is that? It doesn't matter if I die in battle, but I need to think about the king! The safety of the Lord is related to the fate of the country, and now it is difficult to win or lose. It is expected that if the lord is captured, the country will die, so it is necessary to keep a safe distance at this moment to ensure that the king is safe!"

Liu Chenglong couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, but his tone was cold, and he asked back: "Then how long do you want to hide? Is it possible that in the end you just want to hide in Daming and beg for mercy from the country after fleeing north?

What was the reason for the establishment of the son before?It is to make the king lead the army and the people to fight against the enemy, and in case of loss, the country can still be passed on! "

Surprised and angry, Yi Doushou stretched out his trembling fingers, pointed at the tip of Liu Chenglong's nose, and said, "How can you talk like this? Could it be that the safety of the lord doesn't matter just because you have a son!"

Liu Chenglong advises Yi Doushou not to misinterpret his original intention, how can Yi Doushou agree?The two argued endlessly, and finally broke up unhappy.

Afterwards, Jin Gongliang told Liu Chenglong to his sister Jin Guiren about Liu Chenglong angrily scolding Yi Doushou for being cowardly. Jin Gongliang believed that Liu Chenglong was implying that the king was timid and cowardly.

Unexpectedly, Jin Guiren turned to reprimand Jin Gongliang for disregarding the overall situation: "You are really ignorant. When the national crisis comes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid of avoiding it. Only Liu Chenglong advocates fighting in blood. If the king had firmly believed it earlier, Not so embarrassing.

To tell you the truth, Your Majesty has already known his mistakes in his heart. In fact, His Majesty is far more perceptive than ordinary people, but...if he admits his mistakes in front of the officials and people at this time, his authority will collapse. Therefore, only Li Shanhai and Liu Chenglong can bear the responsibility. crime.However, if you want to overcome the national crisis, the king must not lose Liu Chenglong. Only then did Jin Gongliang suddenly realize.

At the same time, Yi Doushou also reported Liu Chenglong's objection to the relocation to Li Yan, so Li Yan summoned Liu Chenglong to meet him, and Li Yan asked: "I only have one question, do you think I am cowardly? A coward who only escapes?"

Liu Chenglong replied indifferently: "If the conditions for the battle are sufficient but you still avoid the war and move to the north, it doesn't matter how you think about it, but historians of later generations may think so."

Yi Doushou angrily reprimanded Liu Chenglong for speaking without words, Li Yan waved his hands and said: "Left Prime Minister, be calm and don't be impatient. I and Liu Chenglong also hold the same opinion. If I see such a lord, I will be very disappointed, but since you think Right now, the combat conditions are sufficient, hehe... you might as well take a look at this thing."

Then Li Yan personally threw a memorial to Liu Chenglong, in which it was written that the reinforcements from all walks of life were collapsing.

Li Yan reckoned that Liu Chenglong had probably finished it, and sighed: "The army has disappointed me so much, how can I say that I have the conditions to fight? When the country is in crisis, they don't want to be loyal to the country, but they have to find their own way of life. Who is fighting for the king?" Is the widow abandoning the people? Isn’t this the army and the people are abandoning the widow! The widow doesn’t want to say anything anymore, let’s discuss politics, hurry up and prepare for relocation!”

Faced with such a situation, even though Liu Chenglong had always advocated resistance to the end, he couldn't help but be at a loss for words at this time, and Yi Doushou stepped forward again to lead the order.

In the middle of the next night, the king of Joseon moved to Pyongyang, and in Wangjing, the general of the Japanese army, Ukita Hideka, was gathering with the generals of the various corps.The participants this time can be described as star-studded, including Governor Konishi of the First Division, Kiyomasa Kato of the Second Division, Nagamasa Kuroda of the Third Division, Yoshihiro Shimadzu of the Fourth Division, Masanori Fukushima of the Fifth Division, Takakage Kobayakawa of the Sixth Division , Terumoto Mori of the Seventh Division, Hideka Ukita, the general of the Eighth Division, Toyotomi Hidekatsu of the Ninth Division, and Kuroda Kanbei, the military adviser.

Ukita Hide's family is the adopted son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Although he is only 19 years old, he is extremely brave and outstanding in internal affairs.Hideyoshi intends to focus on cultivating him as the mainstay of Toyotomi's family, so he was appointed as the general general to control the army so that he can make contributions.

At this time, Ukita Hideka said to the generals: "The first batch of domestic military supplies is about to arrive. At that time, the various teams will escort the military supplies to their respective regions and provide relief to the refugees. They will be properly resettled so that they can return to their hearts and serve our army in the future." The generals took orders. .

Ukita Hideka went on to say: "I will be in charge of Gyeonggi-do where Hanyang is located. The choice of other areas will be made by Konishi, who first captured Hanyang."

When President Konishi thanked him, Kato Kiyomasa objected as expected, saying: "The vanguard of my second team actually surveyed and occupied Hanyang a day earlier than the first team. There is a report as evidence. Please check it with the general." How could President Nishi bear this birdishness, he was naturally furious, and quarreled with Kiyomasa Kato on the spot.

Yu Xitaxiu's family stopped the two of them, and said coldly: "You two, do you still remember that I am the general? Everything depends on my judgment! Since the first team's own army entered the city first, it was Xiaoxi Jun who captured the city first. Hanyang."

Ukita Hideka's words were supported by the military adviser Kuroda Nagamasa and the most powerful Mori Terumoto, both of whom agreed, so this decision is considered final.

So Konishi chose to be in charge of Heian Road, and Kato Kiyomasa was in charge of Hamgyong Road, but they marched together with the First Army until Kaesong.In addition, Kuroda Nagamasa is in charge of Hwangkai-do, Shimadzu Yoshihiro is in charge of Gangwon-do, Fukushima Masanori is in charge of Chungcheong-do, Kobayakawa Takakage is in charge of Jeolla-do, Mori Terumoto is in charge of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Toyotomi Hidekatsu is in charge of Gyeongsangnam-do and side support Jeolla-do.

After the distribution was completed, the Ukita Hide family said again: "In addition to suppressing the rebellion, everyone in the provinces under their jurisdiction also needs to cooperate with the executives to carry out inspections, so as to naturalize North Korea as soon as possible. I heard before that after Xiaoxi Jun captured Hanyang, he took over North Korea. The roster of slaves and maidservants in the Zhangliyuan was burned, and the Korean people rejoiced because of it. Well, this matter was done very well." President Xiaoxi was quite encouraged, and thanked the general again.

Xiujia nodded slightly, and continued: "Xiaoxi, Kato, although it is a good thing for the two gentlemen to maintain their fighting spirit, they must not strive for merit too much. If they increase the casualties of our army due to selfish desires, it will never be forgiven. You must keep in mind that every move Every move is in the eyes of His Majesty the Taige, so don't slack off!" The generals took orders.

At this time, the king of Joseon rested in the government office of Hwanghae Province on his way to Pyongyang. Yi Dosu finally received a report from Gyeongsang Province about the surrender of the Japanese army.

Itoshou played, please kill Okamoto Echigo, he said: "The Japanese pirates have been in full swing all the way, and they have occupied the capital for many days but have not moved. There must be a conspiracy. At this moment, we must not give any opportunity to take advantage of it, and we should eliminate any hidden dangers."

Hu Cao's judge Hong Ruchun immediately echoed, and also said: "I think that if all three thousand Japanese soldiers are beheaded for public display, it will definitely improve the morale of the whole country!"

Li Dexin was extremely opposed to this, and said loudly: "I think this matter needs to be treated with caution. If it is indeed a surrender, then we can effectively obtain the information of the Japanese army and use it for my own use."

Mr. Guanghai also agreed, saying: "Although it is extremely important to improve morale, we still need to know the real number of enemy soldiers, marching deployment, etc. These will definitely be of great benefit to the future counterattack."

Li Yan sneered and said: "The Japanese pirates are all treacherous and cruel beasts. How can you trust them? You know, you can often take precautions against external enemies, but you are often helpless against internal spies." Now that the king has said so, Naturally, a group of ministers agreed, and they asked to beheaded to show the public on the grounds that the Japanese army's offensive must be a false surrender.

At the critical moment, Liu Chenglong asked to play outside the gate of the palace. After being allowed to enter, Liu Chenglong said: "I thought that the Japanese pirates could be as powerful as a broken bamboo within half a month. The sharp weapon iron cannon they hold is very important. There are about a few iron cannons in the Okamoto Echigo Garrison. Ten, our army can also take this opportunity to study imitation and create a counterweight.

For this reason, Okamoto Echigo Mamoru needs to understand the manufacturing details and usage methods, just like getting tens of thousands of soldiers.Echigo Okamoto is a general of the Japanese army. He knows the intelligence of the Japanese pirates like the back of his hand. All used, whether in battle or training, will be of great use. "

Li Yan asked how to distinguish the authenticity from the false, Guanghai Lord replied: "I think that you can order the Gyeongsang-do Observatory to observe on the spot and order them to attack the nearby Japanese pirates. If they really attack with all their strength, it will be true surrender. If they are perfunctory or even perverted , naturally it is false. But even if it is false, it will not hurt our court and our army."

Although Li Yan felt that it was reasonable, he did not want to agree. When asked about Zuo Yizheng, who knew that Yi Doushou agreed this time, saying: "I think what the son and Liu Chenglong said is reasonable, please accept it." However, the king could not forcibly refuse, so Li Yan had no choice but to agree, and all the officials called the king wise.

After Wang Jia moved to Pyongyang, Li Yan asked about the movement of the Japanese army. Yi Doshou said: "The Japanese pirates are still entrenched in Wangjing and have never gone north. Presumably, they must have suffered a lot of blows. Because of the large losses, they are resting and preparing for war."

Li Yan then asked about the state of his country's military preparations, and Jin Yingnan, the military judge, replied: "More than [-] people from Jeolla and Gyeongsang Erdo are going north, and there are also more than [-] people led by the former defense marshal of Hanjiangdu and the general who stayed in the capital." More than [-] people are rushing to Pyongyang."

Li Yuanyi, the inspector of Ping'an Road, added: "There are also [-] soldiers stationed in Ping'an Road and [-] soldiers in Huanghai Road, so our army still has a total of about [-] soldiers."

Hearing that there were still [-] troops, Li Yan felt relieved after hearing this, and felt that even if it was too difficult to counterattack, there should be hope for stabilizing the camp and operating the defense line in order to form a tug-of-war with the Japanese army and wait for the heavenly soldiers from the upper kingdom to help. Yes, so he asked about the preparation of military rations.

Li Yuanyi replied: "Recently, after careful investigation, it was found that there are still more than [-] stones. In fact, since the preparations for the war, we have ordered the nearby grain to be concentrated in Pyongyang, and military orders have already been issued in remote areas to transport grain to Pyongyang at a high speed. It must be soon. will arrive."

Li Yan was overjoyed, and Yi Doushou quickly congratulated him: "It seems that Pyongyang is now like a fortress of iron and steel, more than enough to resist the Japanese pirates, Your Highness can rest easy."

Li Yan nodded again and again, and after a while asked who should be sent to guard the nearby garrison, Jin Yingnan replied: "Your Highness, Marshal Jin Mingyuan and Deputy Marshal Shen Ke implore Your Highness to allow them to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. Jin Mingyuan and Shen Ke have many military exploits, and Both of them were deeply trusted by His Highness, and there were many reasons for Hanyang’s fall before, and if the invitation is granted, it will firstly demonstrate His Highness’s benevolence, and secondly, it will also inspire the fighting spirit, so that the two of them will be brave after realizing their shame.”

When Li Yuanyi saw Jin Yingnan recommending these two people again, he felt displeased, so he played to Li Yan: "Your Highness, Jin Mingyuan and Shen Ke are deeply responsible to the imperial court. Dare to fight, be fair and strict, and can command large soldiers, it is better to let him be the governor of all armies to ensure the safety of Pyongyang."

Li Yan was delighted: "The two love ministers have thoughtful plans for the country, and I am very relieved. How about this, let Jin Mingyuan and Shen Ke commit crimes and make meritorious service, and also give Han Yingyin the right to act arbitrarily at the moment." Yes, a bit of a harbinger of the stitch monster.

Yi Doushou said: "Your Highness, in addition to this, His Highness can also amnesty the world, exempt money and food, personally motivate the soldiers and civilians, so that the common people can be stable and protect the country together."

This kind of operation is icing on the cake. It’s hard to say how useful it is, but at least there is no major harm so far. Therefore, Li Yan ordered to stick to Pyongyang, saying that he would fight in person. Peace of mind.

This time, Li Yan vowed to repel the Japanese pirates in Pyongyang and then regain the lost ground.But what's interesting is that in private, he repeatedly asked Shang Guo's response, and even sent several letters of pleas for help in a day, and his tone became lower and lower every time. Daddy save me."
