Chapter 1925 Return to Japan ([-]) Military Adjustment
"Pingwo Jinglue issued a decree: Li Shanhai and Li Dexin had not returned to the court for a long time, so they were ordered to return. The front-line court army was temporarily commanded by Qingshang Zuo Daoist Ma Yuhou Quan Yingxin, and moved west to Yanyang to make up for orders."

Gao Yushi's order was issued to the courtiers and the army of North Korea, but it was issued directly in the name of Jinglue Xingyuan without the hands of the North Korean court at all. It can be said that the North Korean court did not take it seriously at all.

At the same time, the order itself is very domineering. In one sentence, the North Korean leaders and military judges have been exempted from controlling the front-line North Korean army.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the North Korean military commander Gao Yushi temporarily appointed is a soldier named Quan Yingxin.

The official position of Bingma Yuhou is unique to North Korea, and Ming Dynasty did not have it. Here I will briefly talk about the military system of North Korea.

The Li Dynasty of North Korea implemented a system of literati ruling the army and separating soldiers and generals. There were no fixed generals and no fixed soldiers. It was similar to a reserve army that served in rotation, but a non-prepared army. This is a generalization.

Specific to the Spanish (that is, military posts), foreign official positions include soldiers and horses Jiedu envoy, soldiers and horses defense envoy, water army command envoy, water army defense envoy, water army central army, (the next three ways: Jeolla Road, Gyeongsang Road, Chungcheong-do) Three water army commanding envoys, three water army commanding envoys (both from the second rank); soldiers and horses temperance envoys, water army Jiedu envoys, battalion patrolling troops, town battalion generals (both are on the third rank hall) ;

Non-tang Shangguan includes Bingmaqian Temperance Envoy, Shuijunqian Temperance Envoy, Bingma Yuhou (both from the third rank); Jun Tongqian Temperance Envoy, Sailor Wanhu (both are from the fourth rank), soldiers and horses judge affairs (the sixth rank), military and horse temperance captains, supervisors and herdsmen (all are from the sixth rank), don’t generals, and don’t manage power Will (from Jiupin).

Therefore, Bingma Yuhou is the third rank, which is roughly equivalent to the Tongzhi of Wei Commander, and a little lower than that of Wei Commander.

Right now, Daming has several commanders and deputy commanders in North Korea. There are a lot of generals and guerrillas. Commanders of the guards know that even high-level and large-scale military meetings are very difficult to get into the big account. Don't even think about high-level military discussions on a large scale.

At the same time, since the North Korean side has not many troops left that can be drawn to the front line, it is also a "star shining" when it comes to war now. Randomly pick out a few people who can participate in the military discussion, and they will be soldiers and horses at every turn. , The military and horse defense envoy, at least he must be a military and horse temperance envoy or other general, that is, the official.

Who knew that Gao Yushi chose to let a mere soldier Ma Yuhou lead the army this time, which is a bit too incomprehensible.However, there are actually not too many twists and turns here. Gao Yushi simply finds someone with a low status to lead the army, so that the group of useless senior generals in North Korea and Spain will be exiled-they will definitely not want to listen to a mere mere Bingma Yuhou commanded, so he had to go back to Hanyang.

Of course, if you have to say whether Gao Pragmatic has other intentions in doing this, more or less, it is to break the tradition and establish authority.In more detail, it is to break the Korean tradition and establish personal authority.

Speaking of some North Korean traditions, Gao Yushi was upset when he saw Koreans bragging about Yi Sun-shin, so he looked for some materials about Lee Dynasty, and found some of them to be interesting.

For example, in the early days of the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, the armaments were quite sufficient. At its largest scale, there were nearly 15 troops (the late 15th century).The military system is mainly based on the five-guard system, and the army is divided into five guards: Yixingwei (central guard), Longxiang Guard (left guard), Huben Guard (right guard), Zhongzuo Guard (vanguard guard) and Zhongwu Guard (back guard). In the central government, Bingcao and the five guards are set up to take charge of the military administration and military orders.In peacetime, the five guards took turns to undertake the task of guarding the palace; in wartime, the five guards went to the front to fight.

Does it look familiar?Of course, it looks familiar. North Korea’s five-guard system is highly similar to the Ming Dynasty’s guard system. It is a military system that combines soldiers and farmers. The personnel are farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. Soldiers are self-sufficient in food, clothing, weapons and other materials. , so the country does not have the financial burden of raising troops.

At that time, after North Korean Emperor Taejong came to the throne, through the abolition of the private military system and two reforms of the central government, the separation of the military and government powers in the central organization was realized, and the pattern of "sit together" to manipulate the state affairs was disintegrated.

Since it was under the Weisuo system and its establishment date was almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be normal for the country to be at peace for a long time during the Japanese invasion of Imchen, and the military equipment to be relaxed, "people don't know soldiers"?Therefore, the five-guard system has basically come to an end by this time.

However, after the outbreak of the Japanese Invasion in Imjin, North Korea found that the original regular army was all waste, especially after North Korea’s elite cavalry in the north, which was equivalent to the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, lost seven or eighty-eight, so they could not start to reorganize the army. It is more retro-hope to restore the five-guard system.

This idea soon went bankrupt, because the five-guard system needed land for sergeants, but there was no land to divide during the Korean War, and some idle land during the truce was quickly collected by the "two squads of pillars" through various means. How can the garrison guard system be implemented?

If it can't be done, then we can only find another way, and this way is also borrowing from Ming Dynasty: imitating the family system.

Why did Quan Li become the "last elite" that was finally integrated by the Marshal Dou and led the Korean court?The reason is that Quan Li's family has a high status and a strong family background, and they have pulled up a relatively large team of servants. At the same time, they can call on other Spanish-born generals to put them and their servants under their command.

However, servants and servants also have different levels. Facing Zhang Wanbang's thunderous blow, Quan Li's troops were completely defeated, and Quan Li himself was finished.However, the family system has its uniqueness, so in the end, except for the most steadfast generals who followed Quan Li, the rest of the generals were retained in their positions and continued to lead the headquarters, at the cost of sending them south to attack with the Ming army.

Except for them, those generals who were designated as "rebellious" should naturally be beheaded, and those who should be exiled should be exiled. Commanded by a general from the Beiren Party.

Obviously, this general from the Beiren Party was Ma Yuhou Quan Yingxin, the Gyeongsang leftist soldier who was used by Chaoba this time.To be honest, Quan Yingxin's good luck is also due to the fact that there are not many generals available under the Beiren Party.

After Liu Chenglong and Quan Li's plan failed, the Beiren Party picked up about 6000 "masterless" troops for nothing, but looking at the Spanish generals under their command, it was only Quan Yingxin who could barely command so many people ——In fact, they are very reluctant, and they have to be matched according to the military arrangement before the Imjin Japanese Invasion. He is a mere Gyeongsang Leftist Daoist Ma Yuhou who is qualified to command [-] troops.

Next, Quan Yingxin did not have a particularly noteworthy performance on the battlefield, but Magui mentioned a sentence in the first battle report of the previous attack on Ulsan, saying that Quan Yingxin fought bravely and killed 200 people at that time. Many people did not crash.

Uh, "the loss of more than 200 people has not yet collapsed" seems a bit ridiculous, but it is not easy for the North Korean army. Losing dozens of people may lead to collapse, so Quan Yingxin is considered "well-run" in the North Korean army.

Gao Yushi did not only issue this order. In addition to the adjustment to the Korean army, he also issued a series of orders to adjust to the Ming army.

The first is Magui's headquarters, that is, the direction of Ulsan.Gao Pragmatically asked Magui to prepare the army in Ulsan to fight again, but for the time being, there is no need to rush to launch a new round of offensive, but to wait for the replenishment of logistics materials and targeted arrangements for other directions.

Then there is the front line of Jinhai, which is Liu Ting's department.During the previous Battle of Ulsan, Liu Ting's troops had advanced to the base of Yangsan Castle, which was located between Gimhae and Ulsan, and it was obvious that Wajo Castle had already been repaired just like Ulsan.

However, the original city of Liangshan was in the plain area below the mountain. Because the main consideration was to defend against the artillery that the Ming army had an absolute advantage in, the Japanese city was built on the mountain to the east of the original city.This made Liu Ting's attack on Liangshan's main city quite smooth, but then he also faced troubles similar to Ma Gui's, that is, it was very difficult to capture Wacheng.

According to Liu Ting's report to Gao Yushi, he believes that although the Japanese city of Liangshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is relatively easier to fight than Hailongtun. If you sneak attack and break the door, there is still a good chance of success.The only problem is that Liu Ting believes that the Ming army will lose no less than 5000 people in this way.

Seeing such a battle report, Gao Wushi had to lament that in the past, the Ming army did not move much when they fought near Busan, and even suffered a lot in the Battle of Ulsan and the second Battle of Ulsan. You can't blame Yang Gao for his incompetence.

Yang Gao’s incompetence was incompetent, but at this time the Japanese army’s troop density was already very high, and this southeast corner was carefully built by them for several years, especially the characteristics of Wacheng that made it difficult for the Ming army’s artillery to be used, which made the Ming army very uncomfortable. It's not too strange to play badly.

This is like if you prevented the German army from using artillery during World War I, then their performance may not be much better than that of the Beiyang Elite Third Town.

A normal person who is suddenly injured in one arm will find that his daily life will become seriously inconvenient. What's more, an army that is used to attacking a city with artillery bombardment suddenly can't use artillery?

Even so, Gao Yushi still had a hard time supporting the idea of ​​losing 5000 people to storm Liangshan, especially at that time, the Ming army’s plan was to attack Ulsan first, and then let Magui and Liu Ting attack Liangshan together after Ulsan was over, so Gao Yushi let Liu Ting say goodbye urgent.

But now Ulsan can't win for a while, especially Hideaki Kobayakawa brought an elite team to help out, which made Gao Yushi have to change his mind.

He ordered Liu Ting to increase the intensity of his attack on Liangshan, but the premise was that the momentum should be large and the losses should be small.Immediately after Liu Ting received the order, he understood Gao Yushi's intention: this was to force Kobayakawa Hideaki not to stay in Ulsan, but to attract him to Liangshan.However, Liu Ting was not sure whether Gao Yushi wanted to ambush Kobayakawa Xiuqiu between Ulsan and Yangsan.

In fact, Gao Wushi did have this plan, and this was the order he issued to Li Rumei's department alone.

From the idleness of Li Rumei's troops in the Battle of Dosan, it can be seen that Li Rumei's troops will hardly be useful in the subsequent battles of the Battle of Ulsan. After all, his troops are mainly cavalry, and it is indeed not his turn to attack the city.

Gao Wushi didn't intend to idle such a powerful cavalry force, so he had the idea of ​​attracting Kobayakawa Hideakibe out of the city and fighting him in a field battle of annihilation.If it can be done, it will even be a certain degree of "breaking each other", which can achieve the effect of "breaking one finger is worse than hurting ten fingers".
