The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 453

The next day.

When the three of Mo Xiaobai woke up from their sleep, they were just about to ask when the Korean court meeting would start, when they heard the palace attendant apologize and said: "Yesterday, the king rested late with several ministers. The court meeting has not yet started, and the servants are ready." I have pastries, can the admiral eat them?"

Didn't get up?
Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai looked at the sky outside, and it was at least seven o'clock when the sky brightened.

It's all here, why don't you get up?

Mo Xiaobai shook his head, and took Dumb and the two to have breakfast.When the three of them came back after eating, someone on the North Korean side finally woke up.

It was not the king of Joseon who woke up, but the prime minister, Liu Chenglong.

"Prime Minister Liu, it seems that your country is not in dire straits as you stated in your letter of credence." Mo Xiaobai joked, pointing in the direction of the bedroom and saying, "Look at your monarch, he must have had a good night last night? "

"Admiral, don't make fun of me for waiting." Liu Chenglong's old face was wrinkled, and he said: "My king is changing clothes, and the court meeting will be held later."

"Oh, what is the meaning of the prime minister coming here now?"

"Of course there is something important to discuss with the admiral in detail."

Liu Chenglong replied, and then sighed bitterly: "The admiral taught me a lesson yesterday. Although he was indeed wrong, what you did was to embarrass the king and many ministers. They will not give up so easily at today's court meeting." , there will be some disputes."

"So you come and tell me not to fight?"

Mo Xiaobai laughed and asked back, shaking his right index finger: "What I want to tell you is that Jin Mingyuan is not at fault, but guilty. There is no need to dispute this point. In addition, this battle is for us to help you fight the Japanese. We Da Ming Apart from wasting troops and horses, there is no benefit at all, so I am not interested in arguing with them, if it’s okay, if not, I will retreat immediately.”

"Of course, I think you have worked hard for the country, and North Korea is my vassal of the Celestial Dynasty. I will not mention excessive things. I will only talk about things you can and must do."

"That's good, that's good." Liu Chenglong didn't have the guts to bargain with Mo Xiaobai. He was overjoyed to hear him say that. What he feared most was that Mo Xiaobai would have some harsh demands on North Korea.

Because judging from yesterday's performance, the temper of the admiral of the Ming Dynasty was completely worse than that of the Liaodong general.

As the two reached a preliminary consensus, the long-awaited king of Joseon was finally ready to go to court.

As the admiral of Ming Dynasty, Mo Xiaobai is the protagonist of this court meeting.

When Mo Xiaobai and Liu Chenglong walked into the court hall together, the King of Joseon seemed to know that it was not good for him to be hangovered and happy, so he didn't say anything else, and asked directly: "Since the admiral has come to Yizhou, I don't know when the heavenly soldiers will go out. Help my vassal state to take back the land?"

"My lord, my Ming troops are now gathering for Zhenjiang Fort, and we will be able to cross the river to join the battle in a month or so." Mo Xiaobai pondered for a while, then changed his voice: "But based on what I saw when the admiral entered the court, At this time, even if our army enters the court, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight."

"Your Excellency, aren't you afraid of the Japanese?"

A sarcasm spread, and Mo Xiaobai turned his head to see a North Korean official looking at him with crossed eyebrows: "Our dynasty is at stake, and Daming is the suzerain, if you want to save the dynasty, you should send troops quickly, if you don't want to save it, Da Ming You don’t have to come to Yizhou to make nonsense.”

After finishing speaking, the man turned to face the King of Joseon again: "Your Majesty, our Korean army is retreating steadily, but it is not invincible to deal with the Japanese. At present, Yizhou still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. , There are more than [-] Korean soldiers in each county, and they can still compete with the Japanese."

The speaker spoke eloquently and soundly, and soon attracted a lot of echoes.

Does North Korea currently have military strength?

Of course!
Although only town-level lords are eligible to lead troops in this dungeon, village lords at the third level can enter alone, so there are still quite a few players who enter the dungeon regardless of North Korea or Daehan.

Coupled with the amount of soldiers led by the town lord, Mo Xiaobai estimated that North Korea must have [-] to [-] players.

Although it is not comparable to Ming's player strength, it is already a big boost to North Korea.Because if these players participate in the war, they can recruit a large number of North Korean people in a short period of time, that is, civilian volunteers.

Not to mention the strength of the battle, at least in terms of numbers, it can indeed reach the paper data mentioned by the North Korean military attache.

If North Korea wants to fight, it can still produce millions of 'heroic soldiers'!
As soon as this idea came to Li Zhan's mind, the face of the somewhat flamboyant Joseon King flushed.

The lonely country is not dead yet!
It's just that he just wanted to ask about the specific situation of the so-called "righteous soldiers", and soon another courtier from North Korea stepped forward: "Your Majesty, what the military officer said is too one-sided. How can Japanese iron cannons be resisted by flesh and blood? There are millions of subjects, and we can't let them die in vain."

As the voice of rebuttal sounded, the Korean court soon became the first to quarrel.

Mo Xiaobai knew the reason, just like the factions of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, a small country, was also divided into north and south factions, and it was commonplace to make noise in the court.

However, Mo Xiaobai seemed to be watching the excitement from the sidelines, but in fact he was secretly observing the group of North Korean courtiers.

The military attache who can confidently say "there are soldiers among the people" must have already contacted the players, and even started to arrange some tasks, such as harassment in the enemy's rear.

And those who do everything possible to exaggerate the "powerful" image of the Japanese can already be labeled as "surrenderers" in Mo Xiaobai's eyes.

Even if such people did not completely defect, they would still have contact with the Japanese.

"Come on, if you don't quarrel, I'm the one who should have a headache."

Mo Xiaobai was happy to see the result, but soon someone couldn't stand it and stood up.

Liu Chenglong held back all his energy, turned around and roared angrily: "Have you guys had enough quarrels? The admiral of the Celestial Dynasty is here, what are you yelling about? Don't you think defeating the army is not embarrassing enough?"

After being yelled at by Liu Chenglong, the North Korean officials immediately settled down.

The old prime minister has won the king's heart, and his status is not comparable to them.

Seeing that everyone stopped arguing, Liu Chenglong turned around and looked at Mo Xiaobai: "I made the admiral laugh. This time, my court is in danger, and the country cannot be saved without the help of the heavenly court. As for how to send troops to restore the country, I ask the admiral to enlighten me."

Liu Chenglong still has a bitter face, it seems that this expression has become his standard for the elderly.

Although he disdained the North Korean officials, Mo Xiaobai still had a good impression of Liu Chenglong and nodded slowly: "I have generally listened to what the military officers said just now, so I won't say anything else. Just one question."

"The only few strong cities in North Korea today are in the hands of the Japanese, such as Pyongyang. It is said that there are Japanese troops stationed in the surrounding mountains. Can such a strong city be defeated by the current North Korean army?"

Attack!

It has always been an extremely difficult task to complete on the battlefield!

At the beginning, North Korea took advantage of the advantageous location of the city, and was beaten and fled. Now that the Japanese occupy the advantageous location of the city wall, how will North Korea fight?
This kind of battlefield can't be achieved by relying on piles of people!
Even if Li Yan no longer understands military affairs, he still knows such a simple truth.
