Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1855 The sword points to Dongying ([-]) building will collapse

Naomi Naoshima's words expressed the aspirations of many generals present.Yes, there are at least [-] troops going south this time, but if the Ming army is [-], then according to the experience of the Battle of Bizhiguan, it is impossible to wipe them out, and the best result is nothing more than killing them. forced back.

But what if the Ming army only had [-]?According to the news from Busan, the Ming army not only captured Sacheon and Jinju, but also sent troops to attack various places in the south of Jeolla-do while spying on Busan. This means that the Ming army's forces will definitely be scattered.

They only have 3 people in total, but they have dispersed their troops, while our army can concentrate their troops when they go south. The advantages of this are self-evident.

What's more, the Ming army's threat to Busan should have the meaning of "attacking and saving it", and deliberately mobilized our Hanyang defenders, but what is the significance of the act of "mobilizing Hanyang defenders"?Naturally, it was to create conditions for Magui to capture Kaesong and Hanyang, the two capitals of North Korea.

On this issue, all the Japanese generals have a highly consistent view, and they all believe that the fundamental purpose of Gao Pragmatic's operation is to enable Magui to regain the second capital of North Korea as soon as possible.

It is completely reasonable for the Japanese generals to have such an idea. After all, Japan has a limited land area. Even if the territories of various daimyos are called "one country", in fact, if they are placed in Daming, they may only be one prefecture, and some may even be one or two counties.

Therefore, in their eyes, capturing the enemy's "capital" or "government" or "city" means that the battle has almost been won, at least more than half of it, and it is extraordinary in both military and political significance.

Since there was such a stamp of thought, the Japanese generals naturally believed that since Gao Yushi went out in person, he must take back Kaesong and Hanyang as soon as possible, so as to prove that his reputation as the number one literary commander of the Ming Dynasty was not in vain.

But it is a pity that they look at Gao Yushi from the limited perspective formed by their own limited land in Japan, and it is even more impossible for them to expect that Gao Yushi has been greatly influenced by a famous saying in his "previous life": "If you lose your land, you will lose your life." All people and land are lost; if there are people and land is lost, all people and land remain.”

Needless to say, which great man said this sentence, it was during the Liberation War, Yan'an was the seat of the Central Committee and was known as a revolutionary holy place.The clear Yanhe River and towering Pagoda Mountain have attracted countless passionate youths and patriotic democrats, but they have also become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Kaishen Logistics Group.

In the 47th year of the war, when our army was about to switch to a strategic offensive, the logistics team leader became cruel and strictly demanded that Yan'an, the "bandit army's lair", be "sweeping the ground and occupying it effectively."

In March of that year, the head of the logistics team changed the overall attack on the liberated areas to a key attack. One of the key attack directions was the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and Yan'an was the first to bear the brunt.

At that time, the central government decided to abandon Yan'an first, and the great man encouraged the soldiers to say: When we fight, we do not focus on the gains and losses of a city or a pool, but on destroying the enemy's vital strength.Save people and lose land, all people and land will survive; save land and lose people, and all people and land will be lost.The enemy entered Yan'an with his fists clenched. When he arrived in Yan'an, he would stretch out his fingers so that we could cut them off one by one.We must tell comrades that we will come back in one year or two years at least, and we will exchange Yan'an for the whole of China.

The good words of gold and jade have already been placed here. Even if he is highly pragmatic, he can always imitate one or two, so his fundamental purpose is not Kaesong and Hanyang—of course, it would be a good thing if he can take it by the way—his fundamental purpose is actually to mobilize Hedgehogs are the main force of the Japanese army gathered in Hanyang.

If it wasn't to mobilize the main force of the Japanese army in Hanyang, wouldn't it be good for him to land directly near the main force of Magui? Why did he come all the way to southern Korea?

If you come to the south of Korea, you can use the fleet to block Busan and cut off the sea connection between the Japanese army and the mainland, and secondly, you can force the Japanese army in Hanyang to come to the rescue immediately.

The question is, what happens after the Japanese army arrives in Hanyang?It depends on how the Japanese army came, to be precise, how many people came, and whether they came all the way or multiple ways. Different situations have different responses and handling.

At this moment, starting with Naoshima Naoshige's proposal, the Japanese military's high-level officials began a new round of discussions, and the final result was: stay in Hanyang with Kato Kiyomasa and Shimadzu Yoshihiro, and fight a cage battle resolutely. The main force of the Ming army led by Ma Gui must not advance an inch under the city of Hanyang.

At the same time, the left and right armies merged into one route, passed through Chungju and Sangju, and then went down the Nakdong River, making a gesture of stationing in Busan. Sacheon, defeated Gao Wushi's department in one fell swoop!
When the Japanese generals made this plan, why did they suddenly emphasize that when defeating Gao Wushi's troops, they must be extremely careful, and they must not be killed in battle, but must be captured alive so that they can use him as a bargaining chip to fight against Ming Dynasty. The emperor negotiated, so that it is very likely to force the Ming emperor to agree to cede southern Korea—no, it should be to cede the whole of Korea to Japan!

After discussing to this extent, almost all the generals of the Japanese army became excited, thinking that "the battle force is [-] vs. [-], and the advantage lies with me!"

Among the people present, only Shimadzu Yoshihiro and Kuroda Rusui seemed not so excited.Seeing this, Kato Kiyomasa ignored Kuroda Rusui who was always relying on the old and playing tricks in his heart, but said to Shimadzu Yoshihiro: "His Majesty Shimadzu, I have some experience in asking myself about the battle of the cage city. My First Army voluntarily As the main force. If His Royal Highness Shimadzu and your army do not dislike it, they can assist my First Army, which can also reduce casualties.

Of course, if the Hanyang city defense is really difficult to withstand the bombardment of the Ming army, and the second Guiwo still needs to evacuate in the end, then His Highness Shimadzu will also have the power to use the Shimadzu family's famous "Fishing Field Volley" when the retreat is in progress, so that The Ming army suffered heavy losses, do you think this plan is good? "

Yoshihiro Shimadzu has fought all his life, so how can you not hear the subtext of Kiyomasa Kato's words, "This Hanyang cage city battle is dominated by me"?
However, Kato Kiyomasa's temperament of loving meritorious service is exactly in line with Shimadzu Yoshihiro's intentions, so the latter smiled slightly and replied politely: "Very good, very good, then I will work hard for His Majesty Kato, and I must appreciate His Majesty." and the bravery of the soldiers of the First Legion."

Yoshihiro Shimadzu, who has been famous for a long time, spoke so humbly, Kiyomasa Kato was very helpful, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

After everyone went back to the camp to prepare the army and prepare to go, Kuroda Nagamasa couldn't help asking Kuroda Rushui who had been frowning: "Why is father so sad?"

Kuroda Rushui said coldly: "I was thinking, is there any way for you to bring the Third Army back to Zhongjin City as intact as possible, instead of falling into the dead end of North Korea."

Kuroda Nagamasa was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What does father mean by that?"

"I still don't understand what I said? North Korea is dead." Kuroda Rushui sighed, shook his head and said, "This child from the Xiu family is good at being loyal, but it's also bad at being loyal; as for Maori Xiuyuan , As expected of a member of the Maori family, when there is danger, he will not choose the way, and when there is benefit, he will fight over the front and the last.

Hehe, we have such two generals, do you really think that this time the army will be able to defeat Gao Wushi, and even capture him alive?How naive... If my father's expectations are not bad, all the actions of our army at the moment are probably all within the high-practical expectations. "

Kuroda Nagamasa frowned, his tone was a little dissatisfied, and he asked: "Father's words are a little bit embarrassing for others and destroying his prestige."

Kuroda Rushui was not angry because of his son's doubts, but calmly said: "Do you know that this is not the first time that Gao Yushi used himself as a bait to lure his enemies to mobilize according to his wishes?"

Kuroda Nagamasa still frowned, but this time he finally thought about it, and then asked: "Gao Yushi hopes to mobilize the main force of Hanyang to go south. This point has been discussed and understood by everyone during the military meeting. My son doesn't understand why my father still Anxious about it.

Didn’t Cai Junyi just say that he wanted us to go to Busan, so we just didn’t go, but when we were not far from him, we suddenly turned around and attacked Jinzhou, and then captured Sicheng and captured him. Highly pragmatic and expected? "

Kuroda Rushui said: "I'm not sure whether the surprise attack on Jinzhou will be successful, but at least your plan to capture Gao Pragmatic in Sacheon alive, I dare say it will definitely not succeed."

"Why?" Kuroda Nagamasa asked back: "According to the calculations at the military meeting just now, the strength of Sacheon should only be 1 to [-] people. How can our army of [-] troops not take it down?"

"Aren't you planning to take Jinzhou first? Liu Ting in Jinzhou is also a famous general in the Ming army, and as far as I know, he is as brave as Li Rusong. With him around, how long will it take you to take Jinzhou? Before you attack Jinzhou Did Gao Wushi just stay in Sacheon to watch a play during the time in the state?"

Kuroda Nagamasa hesitated for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Since this is the case, we can also choose to confront Liu Ting in Jinzhou with a small force, while the main force will go south to Sacheon..."

Kuroda Rushui: "As a general, you should look at the overall situation and consider everything. Before you talk about thinking about the plan, have you ever thought about it: high pragmatism is the respect of the country, the dignity of the marquis, and the importance of strategy. Why should you stay in a place like Sacheon?" It’s a small place, but it’s not in the same place as a famous general like Liu Ting?”

This question really blocked Kuroda Nagamasa's question, Kuroda Nagamasa hesitated: "Could it be civil and military discord?"

"It's a joke! I think you really don't know anything about the interior of the Ming Dynasty. You haven't even mastered this basic information. How can you know yourself and the enemy, let alone talk about winning every battle!"

Kuroda Rushui was very dissatisfied, and he hated the failure of steel to teach him a lesson: "Then Liu Ting joined Gao's family more than 20 years ago, and he is Gao Yushi's most important general in the Southern Army of the Ming Dynasty! Are you at odds with civil and martial arts? Why don’t you say Taiko and Kato Kiyomasa are at odds with each other?”

Kuroda Nagamasa lost his temper after being trained, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Father taught me the right thing. It's because the child is ignorant of the domestic situation of Ming Dynasty. Please punish me."

"I don't have time to punish you now. I just hope that the Zhongjin soldiers can return to their skills, and don't want them all to be buried in North Korea, a foreign country."

After all, it was his own son. Although Kuroda Rushui was very dissatisfied, he suppressed his anger slightly after snorting, and pointed out: "The reason why Gao Yushi stayed in Sacheon is because of his usual caution. Don't forget How did he suddenly appear there? Although we still don't know how strong the navy of the Ming army is, at least it is better than the navy of our army.

That being the case, his staying in Sacheon means that he can serve as a bait to make our army go towards Sacheon like moths flying to the flame, but at the same time, he can also leave by sea at any time, letting our army go to nothing. "

"So that's the case, father's opinion!" Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly realized, but immediately had a new question, thinking: "But what's the point of this? I mean, if we pounce on him and he runs away, then his tempter What is the role of the enemy's strategy?"

"Effect? ​​Hmph, you can ask this, which means that you have already determined a prerequisite in your heart, that is, when you rush to Jinzhou and Sacheon, Hanyang is still in the hands of our army." Kuroda Ru Shui asked coldly: "But let me ask you, if Hanyang had already fallen by then, what would have happened?"

"Ah! Then we may have to face Jinzhou, which is guarding the cage city, and the army of Magui who is chasing after us, and maybe we will be surrounded by the north and the south."

Kuroda Nagamasa took a breath, and said with a pale face: "At that time, the total strength of the two armies was almost the same, but the Ming army's weak strength in the south was supported by the Jinzhou city defense, while the Magui troops in the north had the advantages of large tubes and cavalry. In this way, our army may not be able to win the field battle between the two sides..."

The fact that the Japanese army could not defeat the Ming army in field battles has long been a recognized fact within the Japanese army. According to his father's analysis, Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly found that if things really developed like this, the final result would probably be that the main force of the Japanese army had to fight outside Jinzhou City. The Magui Department of the Ming Army fought a field battle.

This is not the worst situation. The worst thing is that if the war goes against them, Liu Ting's troops may break out of the city. At that time, they will be able to fight against Magui from north to south, attacking or even encircling the Japanese army.At that time, wouldn't I have nowhere to go?
He was startled for a while, and suddenly found that there was a problem with this assumption, and hurriedly said: "But father, Hanyang has Kato Kiyomasa and Shimadzu Yoshihiro teaming up in the cage city, shouldn't it be captured by Magui so soon? And as long as Hanyang can Persevere, how could the above situations happen?"

"Do you think that Hanyang won't fall in a short time with the two of them working together?" Kuroda Rushui sighed, "I also hope that this is the case, but let me ask you, Kato Kiyomasa, Konishi Yukio-chan and us Why are the old generals of the Kuroda family under Taige’s command all entrusted to Kyushu Island? To be precise, they are entrusted just above the road that blocks the Shimadzu family’s way to Kitakyushu?”

Kuroda Nagamasa's complexion changed drastically, and he even looked around nervously, then lowered his voice and said: "Father, you are suspecting that Yoshihiro Shimadzu has the heart to betray the Taiko, deliberately defeated by Magui, and even... Kill Kato Kiyomasa?"

Kuroda Rushui looked indifferent, and asked coldly, "Did I say that?"

"Uh...but isn't that what you meant just now?" Kuroda Nagamasa said in astonishment.

Kuroda sighed like water, as if he was unable to continue teaching, he could only shake his head and said, "Do you remember what Weifu said to you last time? His Highness Taige must be seriously ill now, His Highness Guan Bai is no longer here, and Ah Shi... ...You are too young to count on anything. When the building is about to collapse, it is time for the Kuroda family to seriously consider what to do in the future, do you understand?"
