Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 300
Although Shuntian City is within reach, one is that Huang Laifu is unwilling to sacrifice his soldiers needlessly, and the other is that in Huang Laifu's plan, he persuaded Governor Xiaonishi to surrender for the sake of future deployment in Japan.

Huang Laifu believes that Japan will maintain a unified and weak state in the future, which is in line with the interests of Huang Laifu and Daming.However, the layout of this still requires the participation of President Xiaonishi.

As for Konishi, surrendering to Huang Laifu is the only way, whether it is for the immediate survival or the safety of the young master when he returns to Japan in the future. Huang Laifu has already guaranteed the safety of him and his subordinates. Whether it is true or false, he has no choice.

On November 26, the 26th year of Wanli, Chief Xiaoxi led more than [-] Shuntian defenders and went out of the city to surrender to Huang Laifu. In this way, the Wanli Korean War, which lasted seven years, ended, and the rest was to manage Japan.

Huang Laifu ordered all the Japanese prisoners to be put in concentration camps. We will talk about their arrangements later.At this time, the news of the complete victory of the Ming army had already spread throughout North Korea, and the whole country of North Korea was in a frenzy. The brutal war for several years was finally over, and there were singing and dancing everywhere.When the good news came back to the Ming capital, Emperor Wanli was also overjoyed, and issued a decree to commend him, and awarded 20 taels of money to the teacher.

Soon, Huang Laifu received congratulatory letters from the governor Xing Jie and the Korean king Li Yan, and asked Huang Laifu to station the army in place, lead a group of generals and some of the soldiers back to Wangjing, and accept the imperial decree of the Emperor Wanli's award.

On December [-]th, when Huang Laifu came to Wangjing, the king of Korea, Li Yan, came to welcome him at the gate of the city. When he entered Wangjing City, the people in the city also came out to welcome Huang Laifu and others.That night, a grand dinner was held in the Korean royal palace to celebrate the victory of the Korean War. During the banquet, the Ming envoy who had just arrived today read out the imperial decree of Emperor Wanli, commending the achievements of the generals in the Eastern Expedition.

All of them, including the king of Joseon Li Yan, knelt down to listen to the decree, shouting long live. After the decree was read, the dinner began.

Sitting next to Huang Laifu was Li Hun, the second son of the king of North Korea, Li Yanshu. At that time, he was called Gwanghae-jun, and he was the king of North Korea after Li Yan. He was 23 years old at the time.

After the outbreak of the first Korean War in the 20th year of Wanli, Linhai Lord Li Juan was captured, and Li Yan fled to Pyongyang in a hurry, ordering the 17-year-old Li Hun to take charge of state affairs.Li Hui collected the scattered troops and volunteers, and called on King Tong Guoqin, which inspired the hearts of the Korean people and the army.In the 21st year of Wanli, the Japanese army withdrew from Seoul, retreated to Pusan, and returned the two captured princes, Lord Linhai and Lord Shunhe.

However, in the 23rd year of Wanli, when Li Yan canonized Li Hun as the eldest son, and requested approval from Daming, the reply was that he should follow the righteousness of the reunification, that seniors and young should be assigned points, and that it is not appropriate to act arrogantly.Afterwards, the king of Joseon Lee Chan requested several times, but Daming refused.This matter was also a commotion in North Korea, and the Beiren Party in North Korea and China split.

In the end, until the 36th year of Wanli, the king of North Korea, Li Yan, died of illness. The de facto son, Li Hui, Guanghai Jun, took the throne, and went to the Ming Dynasty, claiming to be in charge of state affairs, and asked for canonization.Emperor Wanli disliked his monopoly and ignored it, but because the Jurchen forces had already posed a threat to Ming Dynasty, after a few months of delay, Li Hui was canonized as King of Korea in October of that year.

After Li Hun came to the throne, the Korean historical data said that he was "increasingly confused, he abandoned his mother and queen, and slaughtered brothers and brothers", and he was also a fierce man.

At this moment, Li Hun said to Huang Laifu with a smile: "Master Admiral is mighty, Xiaobang has been in the army for seven years, and today he is at peace. His Majesty's kindness, Your Excellency's merit, Xiaobang is really impressed!"

Huang Laifu felt a little drunk after drinking, he said: "Mr. Guanghai, you are too polite. This is all due to the emperor's acknowledgment and strategizing. How can this governor get any credit?"

Li Hun laughed a few more times, and asked tentatively: "I heard that the Japanese general Xiaoxi Xingchang led more than [-] Japanese soldiers to surrender, and they are now being imprisoned near the Japanese city of Suncheon. I wonder how the lord will deal with them?"

Huang Laifu said: "This will be reported to the emperor, and it is up to the emperor to decide, but this admiral has already guaranteed the safety of Japanese general Xiaoxi Xingchang and others, presumably the emperor will deal with them lightly!"

Now that the war in North Korea is over, the officials of the Ming Dynasty think that they can move their troops back to the North. After all, tens of thousands of troops are stationed in North Korea, and the daily food supply is astronomical. Even if the situation in North Korea does not stabilize, the army cannot Withdrawal, at least half of the troops can be withdrawn.Even the governor, Xing Jie, is also asking for an order, whether it is possible to prepare for the withdrawal of troops from North Korea?

Only Huang Laifu knows that this matter is not over yet, if he does not put strong pressure on the Japanese, or even invades Japan, and obtains the Japanese indemnity treaty, how will the 400 million taels of Eastern Expedition bonds be repaid in the future?In the secret letter, Emperor Wanli also agreed with Huang Laifu's point of view, and he also decided that Huang Laifu would be fully responsible for the future Japanese war.Now the two of them can be said to be leeches on the same rope. Huang Laifu has not yet issued a few million taels of Eastern Expedition bonds. If he is finished, Emperor Wanli will also have a hard time.

And President Xiaonishi and his more than [-] captured Japanese troops are important pawns for Huang Laifu to deploy Japan in the future.Emperor Wanli also agreed that these captives should be handled by Huang Laifu.

At this time, after hearing Huang Laifu's words, Li Hun looked a little sad and indignant, and he said: "Dare to let the admiral know that the crimes committed by the Japanese in Xiaobang for several years in the invasion of Japan can be described as unspeakable. It’s so deep, I’d like to ask the admiral to tell the emperor that the governor of Wacheng Xiaoxi and others will be handed over to Xiaobang, everyone in Xiaobang will definitely be grateful for your kindness!”

In the seven years since the Korean War, the country of Korea has been severely damaged. It is not an exaggeration to say that people have lost their lives. It is only a rough estimate. In the past few years, more than two million Koreans have died in the war, which is equivalent to the total number of people in the country. 300% of the population.Moreover, the state-owned farmland in North Korea used to be about 100 million mu, but now it has been drastically reduced to less than [-] million mu. In the future, it is unknown how many people will starve to death.

That’s not to mention, during the years of war, as many as 10 Koreans were captured in Japan. Most of them were tortured to death, and many were even sold to Portugal, Spain and other Western countries, and they were not allowed to return home after death.In addition, during the war, the Japanese army raped and humiliated countless Korean women, and cut off the noses of 10,000+ Koreans, and brought them back to Japan as spoils of war. Until later generations, this nose mound was left in the Fangguang Temple in Kyoto, Japan.

During several years of war, Japan and North Korea had animosity as deep as sea, and now the Ming army has captured more than 1 Japanese soldiers, and they naturally hope to vent their hatred on these people.Moreover, President Xiaoxi and others asked to surrender, Huang Laifu gave them the treatment of North Korean soldiers. Although they had to do heavy work every day, they could eat enough every day, especially President Xiaoxi, who had meat and wine every few days. , which makes many North Koreans dissatisfied.

For Huang Laifu, he didn't like the Japanese or the Koreans. In fact, if it wasn't for repaying his Eastern Expedition bonds, he didn't mind transferring these Japanese prisoners to the Koreans, and he also saved a little food for himself.However, for the sake of Japan's layout, I can't do this kind of thing myself, otherwise I will hand over more than [-] Japanese prisoners to the Koreans, and they will return [-] Japanese soldiers' bones, which will be terrible.

Hearing what Li Hui said, Huang Laifu frowned and said, "It's not that the admiral is ignorant of the Japanese poisoning of North Korea, and I also deeply sympathize with it! But the admiral also said just now that I have guaranteed the safety of the Japanese general Konishi and others." , does Mr. Guanghai want Huang to be the one who doesn't believe what he says?"

In fact, when Mr. Guanghai mentioned this matter to Huang Laifu just now, those Korean monarchs and ministers listened attentively. After hearing Huang Laifu's words, everyone was embarrassed and showed an expression of indignation at the same time.Even Governor Xing Jie turned his gaze to this side.

"Of course!"

Huang Laifu said softly: "The Japanese not only poisoned my Ming Dynasty, but also harassed my Ming Dynasty numerous times. I have to be punished! The emperor has made it clear to me. After this great victory, we will use thousands of warships to take advantage of the victory to attack Kingdom of Japan, let the people of Japan taste the power of our Heavenly Dynasty. Mr. Guanghai will take revenge at that time, so he can lead the army to fight and enter the Japanese land. At that time, whether he wants to kill people or slaughter the city is a matter of choice!"

After listening to Huang Laifu's words, the Koreans were refreshed. To be honest, the Koreans are a very vengeful nation. They had no choice in the past. Now that the Ming army is in front, they are happy to take revenge.If they can break into the Japanese mainland, they will be more brutal than the Japanese.

Li Yan, the king of North Korea, said bitterly: "The Japanese poisoned our land. This hatred is irreconcilable. As long as the sky and the court declare it, the small state should attack with all its strength with the army!"

Immediately, the Koreans in the hall were yelling and yelling, and there was a sound of revenge.

Only Governor Xing Jie frowned, and said to Huang Laifu: "Admiral Huang, I, Daming, am still an upright and upright king. Even if we invade the land of Japan, why would we do such things as massacre the city?"

Huang Laifu said: "Master Xing is right, it was Huang who made a slip of the tongue!"

……

For the attack on the Japanese mainland, North Korea cheered and actively prepared, but most of the Ming officials expressed their opposition, thinking that the affairs of the Ming Dynasty had been settled and they could return to the country. .However, Emperor Wanli had made up his mind, and it was useless for them to object.

The time to attack Japan was set on the fifth day of the first lunar month in the 27th year of Wanli. During this time, the entire Korean coast was busy, preparing materials, building warships, etc., and the more than [-] Japanese prisoners became coolies. Been busy day and night.

Right now, the Japanese army has been shattered by the Ming army. They were defeated twice when they invaded North Korea. Less than half of them returned home. The rule of the minister's family is already in serious crisis.

Hearing that the Tang people were about to invade their own land, everyone was even more frightened. They sent envoys to hope for peace talks. Right now, Huang Laifu is fully in charge of the conquest of the sun. He just sent a few men to chat with them. Do it methodically.

For Huang Laifu, future negotiations are necessary, but now is not the time, when he occupies Tsushima Island and Iwami Yinzan, under the pressure of soldiers, and with all kinds of coercion and temptation, it will be easy to sign the alliance under the castle.Only at this time, the Japanese will obediently agree to their request and compensate tens of millions of taels of silver.

In this regard, the Western colonists of later generations have already had a lot of advanced experience, and they can just learn from it when the time comes.
