Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1082

Thousands of riders were ambushed in Pyongyang, and almost the entire army was wiped out. This news could not be concealed, and it quickly spread to Liaoning and the capital, and then quickly spread to other places with the capital as the center.

Liaoning was shaken, the capital was shaken, and the whole world was shaken. The five thousand cavalry were still known as the mighty Liaoning cavalry, but they were completely lost. It is said that only the chief general returned to Daming territory with less than three hundred cavalry. Will ride five hundred.

After the cavalry cavalry suffered a defeat, they were often able to gather up a lot of scattered soldiers afterwards, but this time it turned out to be such a record, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were annihilated.

Those civil and military officials who despised the Japanese pirates had become more cautious. With such a force coming to North Korea, so close to the heart of Ming Dynasty, Gyeonggi, they couldn't be treated lightly.

Emperor Wanli, who only appeared in the side hall of Fengtianmen every now and then, began to go to court every day, and all institutions in the court and Beijing began to operate at high speed.

Time has passed for so long, and the information collected by the port of Tianjinwei has been rich enough. At the beginning, the news was transmitted to the capital by the sea merchants and ship owners, saying that there were 10,000 Japanese pirates + nearly 20 troops. The capital thought it was absurd, but Slowly, the numbers that came in were all between 10,000+ and 20. There were only more than this number, but no less. With the news from Liaodong, we can probably come to a conclusion now that the Japanese pirates are at least An army of more than [-] soldiers.

With such a scale and such a strong army appearing in North Korea, it is really a serious problem. It can destroy more than [-] Liaoxi cavalry in an ambush battle. Such a combat effectiveness is not high.

Li Rubo, the Liaoxi General Soldier who actively challenged the battle before, is in a desperate situation at this time, unable to advance or retreat. If such a failure occurs, if he fights again, his family will inevitably be exhausted.

After all, it was Li Chengliang who was sitting behind the scenes, and he responded appropriately. When Zu Chengxun's battle report was sent to the capital, Li Rubai's memorial to the war was also sent to the capital.

The Li family expressed their attitude that they are willing to use all available troops in western Liaoning to go to North Korea to fight the Japanese pirates to the death. Please grant permission from the imperial court.

Even Li Rusong in the Xuanfu had no choice but to follow the above table to ask for a battle. Now he wanted to expand the scale of this war as much as possible, and use military exploits to wash away his crimes.

However, something like this has already happened, and the court did not dare to make a careless judgment, and the memorial of Governor Xu Guangguo of Liaoning made it very clear.

Except for one province in Yunnan, the governors of the Ming Dynasty all have the title of admiral in their titles, which means that the governors are also responsible for the military affairs of the areas under their jurisdiction.

Xu Guangguo naturally had to bear the responsibility for Zu Chengxun's defeat, and Xu Guangguo didn't hide it. He actually pleaded guilty for himself in the memorial. In a sense, he, the governor of Liaoning, was not promoted by the court, but ordered by the inner court. With this background, there is naturally no need to worry too much.

Xu Guangguo's memorial not only asked for war, but more importantly explained the situation in North Korea. He asked the court to be cautious and do a good job of defense at present, and then seek the way of conquest.

The strategy proposed in this memorial is quite satisfactory, and the imperial court naturally agreed to let Xu Guangguo take charge of the defense on the spot first, and then the imperial court will prepare for the follow-up.

***************
The so-called news of Japanese pirates appearing in the Changbai Mountain area was quickly proved to be false, and Sun Shoulian, the Liaonan commander-in-chief, returned to the Yizhou area to deploy troops.

Xu Guangguo, governor of Liaoning, began to mobilize troops, which was actually quite simple. He deployed troops from Liaodong and Liaoxi to supplement the forts on the banks of the Yalu River on the southern side of Liaoning and on the border of the Ming Dynasty for defense.

Xu Guangguo was actually not very nervous, because after the defeat of Zu Chengxun's cavalry, the small territory on the North Korean side of the Yalu River remained unchanged, and there was no emergency. It means that the situation is not so urgent.

Marin mobilized a total of [-] cavalry and infantry, and a deputy general to lead the army, but there were more than [-] from Liaoxi, and Li Rubai, the commander-in-chief, personally led the team. The elite backbone of the Li family was almost full. And out, this can be regarded as showing an attitude, and is ready. If there is a chance to enter the DPRK to fight, then the Li family will use the strongest force to obtain meritorious service and wash away the previous bastards.

Xu Guangguo, the governor of Liaoning in Shenyang, is also going to Dingliao Youwei Phoenix City to command nearby. There are [-] to [-] governors in the hands of other governors, led by a guerrilla, but Xu Guangguo also has them. Even with a guard of more than [-] people, Fubiao is just an empty shelf.

But if Xu Guangguo really wanted to mobilize, he could mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of elite forces, because the business groups around Liaoning, the guards and private training groups of the reclamation farms could all be used.

Because it was a wartime, from Liaoning to the capital, from Yizhou to Shenyang, express delivery routes were arranged to ensure that the news could be delivered smoothly and in a timely manner.

Xu Guangguo commented on the cause of Zu Chengxun's defeat from Yizhou and quickly sent it to the capital. However, the comment document was not sent to the palace together with the memorial, but was handed over to Shuntian Fucheng. Lu Wancai.

***************
There is going to be a big battle, and there is a big enemy in North Korea. There is already a tense atmosphere in the capital, but Lu Wancai, who is the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, is not busy.

In the eyes of outsiders, this Lu Fucheng seems to be a little more leisurely than usual, and he is very comfortable seeing guests and entertaining guests every day, which makes people quite puzzled. But none of them are people who like to have fun and take it easy. This is the consensus of everyone. Now Lu Wancai is a bit abnormal.

Since the 17th year of Wanli, there have been more than ten Jinshi from Tianjin Wei, not to mention juren, the place is rich, and it is always fruitful to be willing to spend money on studying.

Some of these people went to become local officials, while others stayed in Beijing as officials. Scholars and civil officials have been waving flags for their own side all day long. On the one hand, they want to reduce or exempt business taxes, and on the other hand, they want to encourage land mergers. Those from Tianjin Wei are naturally inclined to the interests of emerging business groups like Tianjin Wei. We insist on collecting it, because if the commercial tax is reduced or exempted, Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Prefectures will not reduce or exempt it. Instead, it will allow industrial and commercial people in other places to compete with the business groups on the port side at a lower cost, but they support the land annexation. Because the stronger the land merger, the more unemployed and landless peasants, the more labor force the port business group can have, and the more people can be recruited for the pioneering and reclamation everywhere.

The argument held by this literati is now a scene in the court, and the scholars from the Songjiang Mansion in the south and the scholars in Shanxi are gradually converging with those in Tianjin Wei.

The similarities and differences between their arguments and the remarks of Jiangnan scholars have made many bystanders understand something. It turns out that the political struggle in the court under the guise of righteousness and sage principles is for such and such interests.

In general, Lu Wancai can use this group of civil officials and scholars who tend to be ports and colonial business groups. In a sense, he, Lu Wancai, is also the highest-ranking group in this group. The head of the business group has a close relationship, so he naturally has this qualification.

If you look closely at the identity of these civil servants who Lu Wancai met during this period, you will find that they are more or less related to the port business group. Even if some people are not born there, they are already in There are substantial interests in those places, and the relationship is naturally close.

It is most normal for officials to form cliques in the capital, but Lu Wan is considered to be the direct line of the emperor, and doing so can be said to be soliciting people's hearts for the emperor, and no one can tell if it is wrong.

Seeing the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the atmosphere in the capital is tense, the festive atmosphere is also getting stronger. Cai Nan, the supervisor in charge of the Tianjin Guard and several departments of the Imperial Army, has to go to Beijing to do business as usual. I also need to contact the honorable families to report their situation in Tianjin Wei Industry.

This year North Korea has a large army of Japanese pirates, and Tianjin Wei is also an important coastal defense area. Cai Nan has another task when he comes to Beijing. He needs to inform the capital about the defense preparations of Tianjin Wei.

Tolerances are naturally done during the day, and the time at night is relatively free. As in the past, Li Wenyuan or Lu Wancai usually entertained them. This time it was Lu Wancai.

In Shuntian Fu Cheng's mansion, the servants got orders early on, saying that their lord and Eunuch Cai had something to say about themselves, and that idlers and others should avoid it. It's not uncommon for such things to happen. Walked around, then dismissed all the irrelevant people, and moved a chair to guard in front of the yard.

"Eunuch Cai, Mr. Xu has sent several letters to Lu. Lu thinks what he said is reasonable. Please read it, Mr. Cai."

Large candles were lit in the room, and there were lanterns in several places, which looked quite bright. Cai Nan took the letter paper and unfolded it there to read it. After a while, he finished reading it. Cai Nan picked up the wine cup but did not drink.

"Eunuch Cai, Master Xu is right. Everyone's glory and wealth rest with the Duke, but now the Duke lives in a corner of the Songjiang River. Some things are indeed like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Although the emperor trusts him, he always does this. Stay away, no matter how strong the relationship is, it must be weak, if you want the Duke to prosper forever, you must not slacken your achievements!"

Cai Nan put down the letter, looked at Lu Wancai carefully, nodded slowly, and Lu Wancai approached and said:
"Eunuch Cai is in the army, and he is well versed in military affairs. If you think about it, his words are more targeted, do you think?"
