Hold Tsushima Island in your hand as a bargaining chip.

It's not that Mo Xiaobai didn't have similar ideas, but he just wanted to cut off the sea transportation route from Japan to North Korea by occupying Tsushima Island.

But the meaning of a ray of morning light is to ask Mo Xiaobai to negotiate with the Japanese with Tsushima Island.

Exchange Tsushima for Sado?

One just has a geographical advantage, while the other has a very high value of gold and silver production.It seems that the two are not equal, but with the addition of 10,000+ Japanese expeditionary forces, such a deal is a bit interesting.

"This time Toyotomi Hideyoshi almost sent more than [-]% of his confidants to attack North Korea. Now that Konishi Governor is dead, I don't plan to let go of Kato Kiyomasa's second army. If all the remaining Japanese die in North Korea, Toyoto It is impossible for Omi Hideyoshi to sit safely in Kanbai's position."

As Mo Xiaobai whispered, his eyes gradually turned strange: "We can take this opportunity to negotiate with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, of course, the premise is that we can capture the remaining generals alive, including the expeditionary force coach Ukita Hideyoshi."

"Ah."

A ray of morning light smiled and nodded, also a little excited: "I heard that after Toyotomi Hideyoshi entered his twilight years, his mind has been not working well. We can make two preparations and contact Tokugawa Ieyasu at the same time. If he is willing to sign this treaty, We will help Tokugawa overthrow Toyotomi Hideyoshi, anyway, the nominal leader of Japan is still the emperor at this moment, if the emperor does not move, the resistance will be very small."

"Makes sense."

Mo Xiaobai nodded silently. He only thought of winning before, and then followed the momentum of the big victory to force the Wa Kingdom to cede Sado Island, but the actual implementation is actually a step by step.

At this moment, after a ray of morning light finished speaking, Mo Xiaobai became more clear about his goal.

Defeating the Japanese Expeditionary Army is a goal that must be accomplished.If possible, it is best to capture them all. This is a bargaining chip that is enough to threaten Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Coupled with the addition of Tsushima Island as the head, it is no longer impossible to change Sado.

"I have sent people to Sado and the mainland of Japan, and I believe that there will be definite information soon. In the meantime, I just need to continue to put pressure on Seoul."

Touching his chin, Mo Xiaobai's thoughts became clearer, and he immediately raised his glass: "Have a drink together? Let's celebrate in advance."

"Heh~ Don't fetch water from the bamboo basket in vain." Although Yiwei Chenxi said so, she still raised her glass.

"Trust me, it won't."

"Then wait and see."

.........

Three days passed in a flash, and when Mo Xiaobai's good news came back to Yizhou from Pyongyang, everyone in Yizhou, from the king of Joseon, Lee Chan, down to the nobles and subjects, rejoiced.

Pyongyang!
Although it is not the capital of the country, its status is the same as that of Seoul.

Once Pyongyang is recovered, North Korea is finally in sight.

Li Rusong also heard the good news. He knew that Mo Xiaobai had won a big victory in the south, wiped out all 2 people in Xiaoxixing's head, and captured Pyongyang City at the same time. Even he was a little jealous of this martial art.

Although Li Rusong has been to many battlefields, large and small, over the years, he has never had the opportunity to show his power outside Daming.

In his eyes, this level of military exploits is not much worse than opening up territories.

"I want to make a contribution too."

"You can't be compared to that yellow-mouthed kid!"

With this thought in mind, Li Rusong became a little impatient in Yizhou City. Just when he was ready to go back to Liaodong to meet Song Yingchang, Nurhachi hurried into the city.

"Da Lang, the admiral has a new order. He is going to transfer us to the front line."

"What did you say, Anu?"

When Li Rusong heard this, a look of ecstasy quickly appeared on his face: "That person wants to transfer us to the front line? Will he finally let me join the battle?"

"Look at the transfer order that just came."

Nurhachi handed over the admiral's transfer order, and Li Rusong smiled more and more as he looked at it: "Okay, okay, my chance has finally come. A mere boy can win Pyongyang, and of course I can gain military exploits if I go."

"Dalang, it is written on it that before our army is mobilized, the North Koreans in the city must be stabilized, and they cannot be coaxed to go south."

"It's natural. I am fighting with Ming soldiers. Why do I want them Koreans to join in the fun?"

Li Rusong didn't care about this military order at all, and said with a sneer: "Come with me to see the king of Joseon, I'll see if he dares to jump in front of me. Before I get the military merit, I must not let these North Koreans do bad things." .”

After Li Rusong finished speaking, he strode out of the room.

He knew that the king of Joseon should have received the news at this moment, and he might be planning to discuss returning to Pyongyang.

But how can I, Li Rusong, let you bastards disrupt the situation?

Of course, the North Koreans just stay in Uiju obediently.

Leaving aside how Li Rusong will toss North Korea up and down, when the whole Yizhou has been shrouded in the joy of the victory, there is someone on the Yalu River leading a skinny horse to the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty against the wind and snow.

After he landed, he didn't go to Zhenjiang Fort, but directly bypassed Jiulian City and headed west in a hurry.

During the seven days a week along the way, we only stopped at a few hidden post stations.In the end, just in time for the handover of the twelfth lunar month and the new year, he sent the special "good news" he carried with him to the imperial city of the capital.

When this good report that only Jin Yiwei changed hands was sent to the emperor Zhu Yijun, the emperor who would be called "Shenzong" in the future read the battle report three or four times, but he didn't let go of his hands.

Fingers clasped tightly, Zhu Yijun's heart was not at peace.

No one knows how difficult it is to manage Daming's country. He has inherited the throne for several decades, but it is extremely difficult to do something.

He intends to increase business tax, but the bottom is colluding.

He sent ministers to supervise the mine collection, but he was often fooled and opposed.

Zhu Yijun actually wanted to say, if I had money, would I still need to use this method of tarnishing my reputation as the emperor?
However, as the emperor, he doesn't even have a place to confide in!

"This son understands me."

"Manchurian civil and military, unexpectedly only one person understands me!"

Zhu Yijun held the battle report with his right hand, his eyes still staring at the words 'cede land', 'gold', 'war wealth' and other words on it.

From the lines in the entire battle report, it can be seen that the admiral of the Eastern Expedition that he personally appointed supports him!

It is to support him to 'make money'!

"There is still money in the internal treasury, and I can still use the navy!"

Zhu Yijun is very excited now, anyone who knows that there is a golden mountain in front of him will be as excited as him.What's more, Mo Xiaobai has already demonstrated the feasibility of occupying Jinshan with his military achievements and specific analysis.

Zhu Yijun has decided on this golden mountain!
"But don't be in a hurry to expose it. We still need to find someone to command the navy. After everything is ready, it will be brought to court."

Zhu Yijun walked around his study room several times, and then raised his eyes to see Luo Sigong still guarding one side, and asked immediately: "Now that the army is going to North Korea, what news is there for the coastal defense?"

"Your Majesty is asking about the navy?"

"Well, pick up the important ones."

Luo Sigong turned his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "There is nothing important, it's just an interesting incident, which might amuse His Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"Although the navy did not participate in the war this time, according to the usual practice, in order to respond in time to the North Korean expeditionary forces in the war, the navy also needs to select another officer."

Luo Sigong said with a smile while talking: "There is a young general in the Seventh Battalion of Shenji who is jumping up and down for this matter."
