Chapter 297 Reinforcement
Regarding Huang Laifu's appointment as admiral, Governor Xing Jie has mixed feelings, but he is one of the few civil servants who can take care of the overall situation. In addition to immediately sending his confidants to congratulate Huang Laifu, he also came to Qingzhou to discuss military strategy with Huang Laifu A new offensive is brewing.

Both of them believed that there were two important reasons for the dangerous situation in Ulsan some time ago. One was the lack of troops, and the other was that the Japanese army sent reinforcements by water. Therefore, the naval forces of Ming and North Korea should be greatly strengthened and a sea and land attack should be carried out.

Therefore, after discussing with Huang Laifu, Xing Jie reported to the superior: "The Japanese army occupied the South China Sea of ​​North Korea, eight or nine hundred miles from east to west. The officials and others raised their troops to attack. If they cannot support them, they will lead the navy into the interior. Therefore, they want to annihilate the Japanese army. First of all, we must pay attention to defense. Today, Zhou Yude, the commander-in-chief, is in command of the navy. If the Japanese army moves into the interior, it will be attacked. If it continues to occupy North Korea, it should be called by the ministers, thinking it is an act of flanking. Li Chengxun, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, should lead the navy We will be stationed on Changshan Island to guard the gate of Denglai and prepare for the reinforcements from Lushun, while the Baoding General Army will temporarily move to Tianjin to consolidate the interior!"

The Wanli Emperor's Ministry of War.

From the few months after March in the 26th year of Wanli, Huang Laifu and Xing Jie were busy dispatching troops and arranging troops. At this time, a steady stream of logistics supplies were also transported to the interior of North Korea via Tianjin Road Fuhai. .

Not only all kinds of food and grass, but also all kinds of weapons are countless. There are more than 1000 guns and three-eyed blunderbuss alone, not to mention other weapons and equipment.The huge national strength of Ming Dynasty is far inferior to that of Japan. From this point of view, they are also doomed to fail.

In addition, there are flintlock guns used in the Shanxi Army. After being reported by Ma Gui and others, it also attracted great attention in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Wanli and the Ministry of War personally intervened. Soon, the Ministry of Industry asked the Shanxi Army Come to the sample, and let the craftsmen imitate hundreds of rods.However, in terms of firing rate, ignition rate, and the number of times the gun is used, it is far from being comparable to the flintlock gun used in the Shanxi Army, and there are still some old problems, such as the matchlock gun used in the Ming Army. , like bombing...

On the first day of May, Gyeongju.

The weather has gradually warmed up, and now Gyeongju has already become a large military camp. Due to mutual confrontation, there was no new war for a while, so Huang Laifu, Ma Gui and others returned to Gyeongju, leaving only a part of the soldiers Ma guards Ulsan and Dosan Waseong.

During these times, Huang Laifu has been busy in the admiral's mansion in Gyeongju. Now he is the admiral, and the prime minister's military affairs must be handled by him. It can be said that he is extremely busy. Come on, look at North Korean women's breast-exposed outfits to relax.

In the afternoon of that day, Huang Laifu was full of smiles, because there was a letter from his family. Although the writing in the letter was written in Gu Yunniang's tone, but the handwriting was beautiful and beautiful, it must have been written by Qu Xiuhe.

The letter first congratulated Huang Laifu on his promotion to the post of admiral, and the whole family, including Wuzhai Fort, was honored by Mo Yu. Then he said some family gossip, saying that Huang Dalang and others had already entered Wuzhai Academy to study, and his brother-in-law Huang Lingbin , and now he is much more sensible, he has learned how to deal with all the big and small things in Wuzhai Fort, which has lightened their workload a lot... In short, Huang Laifu can go out to kill the enemy with peace of mind, and don't have to worry about everything.

"I miss you every day, I hope you will come back triumphantly soon... Wife Gu Yunniang pen."

Huang Laifu smiled slightly, carefully put away the letter, and looked out through the bamboo curtain. The sun was shining outside, which made him feel much happier.

At this time, footsteps sounded, and "that person" came in silently, and reported to Huang Laifu: "My lord, it has been confirmed that Yang Gao encountered a rock on the way back, and the horse was frightened and fell into the valley. Yang Gao has already confirmed his death! "

Huang Laifu nodded, and "that person" said again: "At the end of April, General Li Rusong, the commander of the Liaodong Army, encountered most of the barbarians when Qingqi was going out of the fortress. General Li was killed by force. The news has been confirmed!"

Huang Laifu closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh. Since he became the admiral, he sent people into Liao several times to tell Li Rusong to be careful of the barbarians, but he still couldn't escape the fate of history.It's a pity that such a brave general died like this.Thinking of his friendship with Li Rusong, he couldn't help being crazy.

In the end, "that person" whispered another matter, and finally he knelt on the ground and said: "...The mission failed, this is the subordinate's dereliction of duty, please punish me..."

Huang Laifu didn't blame him, just thought about it for a long time, and finally murmured something. "That person" retreated quietly.

……

On April 26, the 26th year of Wanli, the local barbarians invaded Liaodong. Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, led 5000 light cavalry to attack his lair.After Li Rusong's death, the court was shocked, and Emperor Wanli was in great grief. He posthumously awarded Li Rusong the title of Shaobao, Uncle Ningyuan, posthumous posthumous title of Zhonglie, built a temple in Guangning Prefecture, and enjoyed incense.

In addition, another major event happened in Liaodong. At that time, the governor of Jianzhou Wei, the dragon and tiger general Nurhachi was assassinated by an unknown person and almost died. Judging from the clothing and armor left at the scene, Nurhachi suspected that he was a Mongol or What the Haixi Jurchen did.

The assassination of the governor of a guard is a major event. In addition, when Nurhachi was loyal to Ming, not only did he not send soldiers to harass the border, but he often returned the Han people and livestock looted by his subordinates to Daming, and he went to Beijing many times in person. Therefore, Daming has a good impression of Nurhachi at the moment.In the 17th year of Wanli, he was promoted to be the governor, and in the 23rd year, he was named General Dragon and Tiger. He also set up horse markets in Fushun, Kaiyuan, Qinghe, etc., and exchanged markets with Jianzhou Wei, which gave Nurhachi huge benefits. Manchurian Yin Guofu.

After Nurhachi was assassinated, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty sent officials to bring gifts to comfort him.

……

After the news of Li Rusong's death reached North Korea, the king of North Korea, Li Yan, and the governor of Pingwa, Xing Jie, both mourned.Huang Laifu personally set up an altar to offer sacrifices to. Gao Ce, Zu Chengxun, Zha Dashou, Wu Weizhong and others were also shocked, and they set up spiritual seats for the old commander in their own barracks.

When her elder brother died, Li Rumei cried bitterly and went back to Liaodong to attend the funeral. At the same time, she accepted the order of Emperor Wanli to succeed Liaodong as the General Soldier.Dong Yiyuan took over his duties in North Korea.

The time has entered June, and upon the request of Admiral Huang Laifu and Governor Xing Jie, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty came in a steady stream. On June [-], Liu Ting, a fierce general known as "Liu Dadao", led [-] troops from the Southwest. , Arrived in Gyeongju, met with Governor Xing Jie and Admiral Huang Laifu.

This Liu Ting is from Hongdu, Jiangxi Province. His name is Zishen. He is famous for his bravery.

In addition to his personal bravery, Liu Ting also has a pro-military battalion with a total of more than [-] people, mainly Sichuanese.The battalion is equipped with infantry, cavalry, and gunners, as well as hundreds of chariots.

When fighting, the cavalry go first, and the infantry and the firecrackers push carts. When the enemy appears, they form a circle with chariots, and the firearms use this as a barrier to shoot at the enemy. Rush out from the car formation, defeat the enemy camp, and finally the infantry attack to chase and annihilate the enemy.It can be said that it has both offensive and defensive capabilities. With this army, Liu Ting won countless military exploits.

With such an army joining, Huang Laifu can be said to be even more powerful, but what makes Huang Laifu headache is that ordinary brave people are relatively rebellious by nature. Naturally, he was dissatisfied. Although Huang Laifu's bravery was spread in the army, everyone expected him to be the admiral this time, but Liu Ting had never seen it before, so he naturally didn't take it seriously.

Moreover, the composition of Liu Ting's 2 men is complex, not only Han soldiers, but also chieftain soldiers from all over the southwest.Moreover, as long as Liu Ting can win battles, he has always turned a blind eye to these things. This is also the main reason why Liu Ting has repeatedly made military exploits but has been impeached repeatedly. He was impeached, but was reused by the court again and again.

Unsurprisingly, after Liu Ting's troops arrived in Gyeongju, the local nuisance incidents also increased rapidly. It is a trivial matter that chickens, ducks and pigs are stolen and eaten. Women in the south have a tradition of revealing their breasts, and women from the age of 15 to 85 are exposed to the outside. How can this prevent the nosebleeds of those strong men in the army?

Marshal Quan Li of the North Korean capital came all day long to cry to Huang Laifu, how many Korean women were harassed by heavenly soldiers every day, and how many chickens and ducks were stolen every day. Huang Laifu ordered strict military discipline, which made Liu Ting dissatisfied.

On July 5000, Chen Lin, the governor of the Guangdong Navy, led 3000 people from the Guangdong Navy, 270 from the Jinliao Navy, and 500 warships, which were claimed to be 5000 ships. [-] people.

Chen Lin, whose name is Chaojue, is from Wengyuan, Guangdong. This is a person who makes Huang Laifu even more troublesome. Be the chief soldier.

The main reason is that he can only speak Cantonese, but not Mandarin, so Beijing officials can't understand him, so he naturally loses a lot of advantages.These are okay, Chen Lin's biggest problem is greed. Everywhere he goes, he indulges his subordinates to plunder people's property. No matter where he goes, he is an official. Be refrigerated for many years.

However, Chen Lin is really good at fighting, he has strategies, and he is good at generals. This time the war requires both water and land, so Governor Xing Jie thought of this person, and Chen Lin was used.As a result, after Chen Lin arrived in North Korea, he first caused many troubles.

Anyone who has been with Chen Lin knows that he has a violent personality, so everyone keeps a respectful distance from him, and even Liu Ting warns to be careful of this person.Sure enough, in order to welcome the coming of the navy, the king of North Korea, Li Yan, personally went out to the labor force in Seoul. In front of many kings and ministers of North Korea, Chen Lin beat a North Korean official until his face was covered with blood. Fang Zhi.

Moreover, when Chen Lin arrived in Gyeongju, he saw that Huang Laifu, the chief admiral of military affairs, was actually a young man in his 20s, and he immediately refused to accept it.

But for Chen Lin, Huang Laifu had other plans. He calmly sent Chen Lin to Gujin Island, where there was a Korean navy led by Yi Sun-shin.Reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty continued to enter North Korea, and North Korea also built a large fleet. In the end, more than a hundred new warships were built, just waiting for the final counterattack order from Ming Dynasty.

Chen Lin led the army to Gujin Island, and the Korean navy was under his command. Many people were worried whether he would be compatible with Yi Sun-shin.But at this time, Li Sunchen, the famous general of North Korea, showed his other side. As soon as Chen Lin arrived, Li Sunchen arranged a large banquet to welcome him and praised his achievements even more, which made Chen Lin happy from ear to ear. .Afterwards, the Daming Navy and the North Korean Navy got along well. After Huang Laifu received the report, he also felt that Yi Sun-shin was really a master of interpersonal skills, and he was worth learning.

Of course, not all the generals who came to help were as arrogant as Chen Lin and Liu Ting. The veteran Deng Zilong who came with Chen Lin was a very loyal and honest man. At that time, he was over seventy years old, but he was still the deputy commander. However, after receiving the order from the imperial court, he set off without hesitation and followed Chen Lin's command.

After arriving in North Korea, when he saw the admiral Huang Laifu, he was also respectful and respectful, and he always gave a full salute when he met.Huang Laifu knew about the fate of this veteran, and he hoped that he could change him, so that he could return home with honor and enjoy his old age in peace.

Nearly August, the Ming army gathered in North Korea had reached more than [-] people, and the North Korean side also tried its best to gather more than [-] troops, including more than [-] Korean navy troops led by Yi Sun-shin. There are more than two hundred warships.

The total military strength of the Ming Dynasty finally reached more than [-], and the opportunity for the final decisive battle has arrived.
