Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 296 Admiral
After the war, according to Huang Laifu and Magui's statistics, after the bitter battle between Ulsan and Dosan, and the subsequent collapse, the Ming army had a total of more than [-] casualties, and the Korean army had a total of more than [-] casualties.

In terms of food, grass and luggage, basically nothing was lost after gathering, and part of the food, grass and luggage of the Japanese army was also taken away.

After several battles, in addition to occupying Dosan and Ulsan, the Ming army killed and wounded more than [-] Japanese soldiers, and captured more than [-] Japanese soldiers. Thousands of heads.Then quickly reported the victory to Wang Jing and the Ming capital, and at the same time, a copy of the impeachment of Yang Gao was also quickly passed to the capital.

The memorial impeaches Yang Gao for the crimes of disregarding the safety of soldiers, bereavement of teachers and abandoning the public, etc., led by Huang Laifu, co-signed by Ma Gui, Gao Ce and other generals of the Ming army. The lives of the Ming generals also made a group of Ming generals very angry. Huang Laifu was willing to jump out and be the first bird, and they readily accepted the favor.

Right now, the Japanese army has retreated back to Xishengpu Wocheng and Busan Wacheng, and there are about [-] people in the two cities.In addition, Chief Konishi led more than [-] people back to occupy Suncheon, Shimadzu Yoshihiro led some people back to occupy Sacheon, and several groups of soldiers and horses echoed each other in solidarity.The rest of the Japanese generals are based on Japanese cities, large and small, along the coast, and defend them tightly.

On the side of the Ming army, Huang Laifu led the army to occupy Dosan City, Ma Gui led the army to occupy Ulsan City, and the rest of the Ming army occupied some dangerous places outside the city. The specific military affairs were discussed by Huang Laifu, Ma Gui and others.And after a bloody battle, it will be at least a few months before the two sides start the next big battle.

In the calm days after the war, Huang Laifu and Ma Gui were busy arranging military affairs, or summoning the souls of the soldiers who died on the front line. The Shanxi army suffered few casualties, but when Jiang Dazhong was guarding Daoshan, he faced a flood of attacks by more than ten thousand Japanese troops, and suffered more than one hundred casualties.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the 26th year of Wanli, densely packed white flags danced in the wind on a high slope outside the city of Daoshan, and countless memorial tablets were surrounded by incense and tombs. Headed by Huang Laifu and Ma Gui, all the generals mourned in front of the grave. Everyone wore hemp belts to mourn, and everyone offered incense and prayed one by one.

Perhaps except for some generals who can send their bodies back to their hometowns, the remains of ordinary soldiers can only be buried on the spot. The heroic souls of Ming soldiers will remain in this foreign land forever.

However, in the Shanxi Army, the remains of soldiers who died in battle were cremated, and their ashes and clothes were transported back to Wuzhai Fort for burial after the war.

After the war, all the armies were envious of the sharp firearms of the Shanxi Army. Many people tried their best to ask the Shanxi Army to borrow flintlocks to watch, and everyone couldn't put it down.Ma Gui also expressed his envy, saying that it would be nice if he had such a sharp firearm.All the generals decided to report to the Ministry of War, so that they would also distribute such sharp firearms. When the Ministry of War asked Huang Laifu for samples, he hoped that Huang Laifu would not keep the sharp weapons private.

Huang Laifu said: "Of course I won't hide my secrets. As long as the military craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and the military craftsmen of the towns can make it, Huang will wish for it."

Everyone smiled wryly. If the firecrackers made by the Ministry of Industry and other guards could be used, they would not abandon the birdcracks, and most of them would go back to the three-eyed blunderbuss.Many people changed their minds, and when they had the opportunity in the future, they would buy this sharp self-propelled gun from Shanxi Town.

……

As for Yang Gao, he ordered the entire army to retreat on the fourth day of the first lunar month. After rushing to Gyeongju, only a few thousand cavalry followed him to Gyeongju. When the news came, Yang Gao was frightened out of his wits. Including the North Korean army, there were a total of [-] troops. Could it be that there were only a few thousand left?If this is the case, then your own head is hard to protect.

Moreover, after the entire Ming army was annihilated, the Japanese army might soon reach Gyeongju, so I should retreat to Wangjing again.

Just when Yang Gao decided to send a death squad to Ulsan to see, and was determined to continue to escape, fortunately, soon the news came that the Shanxi army was defeated and came to help the Japanese army, and they beheaded thousands of people. After the withdrawal order was dismissed, the army continued to be stationed in the area of ​​Wacheng, Daoshan.Yang Gao couldn't help being both happy and angry. He was so happy that he won such a great victory. After the news of the victory was passed to the capital, it was inevitable that he would be promoted to a higher position.

What was angry was that Huang Laifu, Ma Gui and others made their own decisions and didn't pay attention to the orders of their master, especially this Huang Laifu, who was arrogant and domineering, really hateful.At that moment, he made up his mind and wrote the imperial court's great victory report. He attributed all the credit to himself, and mentioned the credit of Ma Gui and others casually, but did not mention a word about Huang Laifu and the Shanxi Army.

As a high-ranking civil servant, it is natural to write articles. A successful report is full of flowers. Not only that, he also wrote a book, impeaching Huang Laifu for being arrogant and difficult to control, and for not listening to general orders. laugh.After all, although Ma Gui and the others don't obey their orders right now, and he is a civil servant, he still has to rely on generals to fight.

After the report was written, Yang Gao ordered to report to the capital immediately, while he himself waited patiently. In the past few days, he issued several orders in succession to let Ma Gui, Huang Laifu and other troops come to Gyeongju to discuss matters, but they were all like this. The mud cow disappeared into the sea, and no one came to listen to the order, which made Yang Gao even more furious!When did the generals of Ming Dynasty be so arrogant that they blatantly ignored him as a master of economics?

Originally, Yang Gao wanted to let Ma Gui and others go, but now he decided to deal with Ma Gui and others together in the future.
……

The news of Ulsan's victory first spread to Wangjing, where the North Korean monarchs and officials were all cheering, and the common people were singing and dancing to celebrate the victory.

Huang Laifu's victory report and impeachment letter were passed on to the Ming capital before Yang Gao. Although Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun thought it was strange that Huang Laifu sent the victory report, he was overjoyed after seeing the success report. This is a very rare victory.When the news came out, the ministers expressed their congratulations one after another, and the people in the capital also fell into a carnival.

But then Huang Laifu and other frontline generals jointly impeached Yang Gao, which made him furious. How dare Yang Gao do this?It is very rare for frontline military generals to collectively impeach a high-ranking civil servant, and the news caused great disturbance.Yang Gao had many close friends in the imperial court, and the chief assistant Zhao Zhigao was his master teacher during the college entrance examination that year. It can be regarded as the relationship between teachers and students, so they naturally shared it for Yang Gao.

Moreover, this also involved the sensitive topic of civil and military competition. Not only the officials, but even several cabinet ministers accused Huang Laifu of being arrogant and domineering. As the next general, he dared to impeach the superior.

And a few days later, when Yang Gao's victory and the impeachment of Huang Laifu arrived, it became even more messy.The disharmony between civil and military forces in front of them has reached such a level, and what is going on needs to be investigated to find out. Zhu Yijun, Emperor Wanli, ordered a thorough investigation.

Of course, not every official has a good relationship with Yang Gao. Ding Yingtai, the chief of the Ministry of War, has a bad relationship with Yang Gao. He volunteered to go to North Korea to check. A detailed judgment has been made.Only at this time did Yang Hao realize that Huang Laifu was the first to act first, but the second was to suffer, so he impeached him first.

While he was vomiting blood with anger, he also wrote frequent letters with his colleagues in the court and secretly planned this matter. In the end, Ding Yingtai went to Gyeongju to confront Yang Hao and asked him what he planned to do in the future.Yang Gao took out the handwriting of Zhang Wei, the cabinet minister, and Shen Yiguan, and he was proud of himself.Ding Yingtai was angry and impeached Yang Gao for 28 counts and [-] shameful things.And impeach Zhang Wei, Shen Yiguan and Yang Gaotong for committing adultery together.

Emperor Wanli was furious when he was neglected, and ordered him to go home for investigation. After receiving the order, Yang Hao felt the resentment and loss in his heart, especially for Huang Laifu, but he had no choice but to hate Huang Laifu. Hate on the road.

However, Ding Yingtai was too brave. Seeing that the impeachment worked, he successively impeached Ma Gui, Li Rumei, Gao Ce and others for their lack of military discipline when they retreated that day, and they plundered the property and children of the Korean people.And they were also responsible for the collapse that day.

But at this time, Emperor Wanli didn't take it seriously, and just ordered Ma Gui and others to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.After Yang Gao was inspected, North Korea’s military affairs needed someone to be in charge. Emperor Wanli thought of Huang Laifu. If it weren’t for the outstanding performance of his Shanxi army this time, Ming’s army in North Korea would have caused an indescribable disaster. Although Huang Laifu was indeed young, However, his performance is really outstanding. If he is in charge of military affairs, then he must be sure that all military affairs will go well in the future.Moreover, Emperor Wanli also believed in Huang Laifu's loyalty.

Moreover, Emperor Wanli also thought of one thing. This time, he and Huang Laifu were the ones responsible for the preparation of the military salary. After the victory in Ulsan, Huang Laifu’s Dongzheng bonds were sold for more than 100 million taels. The bonds have been sold for 400 million taels of silver.These silvers ensured the smooth progress of the Korean War, but it was also an extremely heavy burden.

If there is no victory in the Korean War and Japan is forced to accept a series of conditions, how will it pay back in the future?Although Huang Laifu was the bright side of this matter, even if there is anything in the future, Huang Laifu will push it out, but the series of consequences will also be borne by Emperor Wanli.

In fact, for this matter, Emperor Wanli also made a series of preparations. In order to force Japan to accept various conditions, or to occupy Iwami Yinshan in Japan in the future, Emperor Wanli has ordered Tong Yuanzhen, the general soldier of Guangdong, to lead an army The huge fleet is assembled along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian. If the Korean war is tight, it will directly attack Japan and open up a second battlefield.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Emperor Wanli decided to appoint Huang Laifu as the commander-in-chief of the North Korean army to prepare for Japanese rebellion. Admiral.

The appointment of Emperor Wanli naturally surprised all the ministers and shocked the court for a while, but regardless of their desperate opposition, Emperor Wanli still issued an order.

On the fifth day of March in the 26th year of Wanli, on the day when Yang Gao was dismissed, Huang Laifu, under the attention of tens of thousands of Ming generals and the cheers of the Shanxi army, bowed down to the Zhongguan angel who announced the decree, received the decree, took office, and became the admiral official.

At the same time, because of the great victory in Ulsan, Emperor Wanli also awarded a lot of gold and silver goods to reward the soldiers who made meritorious service in this battle.
