My life skills in Daming Liver
Chapter 534 Monkey returns to Japan
Just after Li Rusong took office in Liaodong, the internal fighting in the Ming court did not subside, but became more intense.
The army that conquered the dynasty suffered from supplies being cut off several times. According to Li Rusong, it was the Jurchens in the north who were causing trouble. He had already recruited cavalry in Liaoyang to clear out the Jurchens who were born, but it would take time to calm down.
Li Xun was naturally furious. He impeached Li Rusong to the Ming court for supporting the bandits. He also wrote to the Ming court that the North Korean army could not be reused and that his several defeats were caused by the North Korean army's unfavorable operations.
Naturally, Li Rusong refused to give up. He impeached Li Xun's corpse and blamed the North Koreans for his own defeat. He asked the court to remove him from his position and lead the Nine-Border New Army to help the North Korean leader regain his lost territory.
Under this circumstance, the Ming Dynasty army in Korea was defeated again. The entire southern Korea area was occupied by Yi Sun-shin, and all the previous gains of Li Xun were surrendered.
Only then did Li Chunfang discover that Li Chengliang and his son had an astonishing appetite. They were not satisfied with the position of deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong. They also wanted to swallow up the Nine-Border New Army in North Korea!
Li Chunfang regretted letting the tiger go back to the mountains, but now there was no other way. He could only increase his support for Li Xun, hoping that he could win a victory in North Korea and suppress the Li family and his son.
Seoul.
The backbone of the Progressive Association led by Yi Sun-shin had just finished a meeting when Kinoshita Tokichiro, who was inspecting the city defenses, suddenly asked for a meeting.
Yi Sun-shin invited Kinoshita Tokichiro in. The two had known each other for many years. At this time, Kinoshita Tokichiro could not look like a Japanese at all.
He wears the clothes of a Han general and has long Han hair.
Because they fought in Shandong before, and those who followed them on Jeju Island were also Liangshan heroes, Kinoshita Tokichiro spoke pure Shandong dialect.
Over the years, his Chinese character reading and writing skills have become very good, and he can now understand Su Ze's articles.
Kinoshita Tokichiro looks like a standard Southeast mid- to high-level officer.
Everyone knows that Kinoshita Tokichiro will definitely be reused when he returns to the Southeast in the future. Even if he does not return to the Southeast, he will definitely be awarded an important position if he stays in North Korea.
After Kinoshita Tokichiro saw Yi Sun-shin, he first saluted Yi Sun-shin with the southeastern etiquette, and then gave him a Japanese salute.
Yi Sun-shin was a little confused. Kinoshita Tokichiro raised his head and said:
"Brother Li, I want to return to Japan."
"What?"
Yi Sun-shin was a little surprised. The situation in North Korea was now very good. As long as he worked harder and annihilated Lee Sun's main force, he could occupy the entire North Korea.
At this time, Kinoshita Tokichiro actually wants to return to Japan?
"Have you spoken to the Grand Governor?"
Kinoshita Tokichiro took out an official document and said: "This is my statement. The Governor's Office has approved leaving the army and returning to Japan."
Yi Sun-shin stayed for a while. Kinoshita Tokichiro and himself had known each other for many years. They had faced the most difficult times together. Now that they were about to see the dawn of success, he was actually leaving North Korea?
Looking at Yi Sun-shin, Kinoshita Tokichiro said:
"Brother Li, do you remember what we said about our ideals when we first met?"
Yi Sun-shin nodded.
Kinoshita Tokichiro said: "At that time, Brother Li said that we should follow the example of the Southeast and drive out the Korean nobles so that the Korean people will not be oppressed and establish a society where sovereignty lies with the people."
"Although Brother Li's ambition is still far from being completed, it is already on its way."
Yi Sunchen was silent. Even he couldn't believe that he, who had joined the Southeast Army by accident, had accomplished such an achievement in less than five years.
The royal family of Lee of Korea, which had lasted for hundreds of years, was driven away, and the two groups of nobles who had dominated the Korean people were overthrown.
Although we are still far away from establishing a democratic society like the one in the Southeast, we are on the way.
Yi Sun-shin received the support of the progressive scholars of North Korea, the help of ordinary officers who were frustrated, and the assistance from the southeast. The battle became smoother and smoother, and it was about to completely drive the North Korean leader out of North Korea.
Kinoshita Tokichiro said: "Brother Li also asked me about my ambition at that time. I said at that time that I wanted to support my family, Lord Nobunaga, and realize my dream of deploying military force in Japan."
Yi Sunchen nodded. The number of times he heard about Nobunaga from Kinoshita Tokichiro was second only to the Governor Su Ze. He was Kinoshita Tokichiro's lord and the benefactor who promoted him. Kinoshita Tokichiro never concealed his love for Oda. Worship of Nobunaga.
Kinoshita Tokichiro said: "Brother Li, there are already people here to help. It will only be a matter of time before we achieve our ideals. However, my motherland is still in war. I want to return to Japan and assist Nobunaga to unify Japan."
Hearing this, Yi Sun-shin could not say anything to persuade him to stay.
He thought for a while and said:
"I once asked you back then, if your Lord Nobunaga and the Grand Governor have different paths, how will you deal with yourself?"
Kinoshita Tokichiro said firmly: "Nobunaga is not an ordinary person. Over the years, I have asked people to bring back the works of the governor to Nobunaga. A few days ago, I contacted Nobunaga through the merchant ship in Busan. Nobunaga is very interested in the Lord. I greatly admire the governor’s thinking!”
"Nobunaga also invented the three-stage shot in Japan, which is similar to the governor's musket fire. After hearing about the firearms usage I learned in Southeast, Nobunaga also greatly appreciated it and believed that the future of war lies in Use of Firearms.”
"I want to go back and assist Lord Nobunaga to achieve the unification of Japan. Only a unified Japan can occupy a better position in Asia's new system."
After hearing this, Yi Sun-shin could no longer retain Kinoshita Tokichiro.
Yi Sun-shin said: "I will give you the Japanese war group you formed in Busan, and you can take it back to Japan."
"Thank you!"
"In addition, you can also take a batch of these muskets to aid North Korea. You should be able to form a musket company."
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
Yi Sunchen continued: "With your help Kinoshita, your Lord Nobunaga will definitely be able to realize his dream of unifying Japan. But, what if he cannot understand the current situation?"
Kinoshita Tokichiro immediately said: "Brother Li, please rest assured. I will definitely persuade Lord Nobunaga to go to the southeast and take a look to understand Japan's future position in Asia."
From recent events in Nanyang, we can see Southeast’s attitude towards territory.
The Annan region was an area controlled by ancient China, so regaining Annan was not only a strategic necessity, but also a region that had been in use since ancient times.
The customs in the Annan area are not much different from those in the Central Plains, and Chinese has been used in the past hundred years.
In contrast, in Champa, further south than Annan, Shen Guan signed an agreement with the leader of Champa after his mission.
Champa paid tribute to Southeast and leased Da Nang for Southeast's warships to dock. Southeast was not prepared to annex Champa.
The same is true for other areas in Nanyang. Governor Su Ze has stated many times that the Southeast has no demand for most of the land in Nanyang and currently has no plans to colonize Nanyang.
The same applies to North Korea.
Although there were strong calls to annex North Korea within the Southeast, Su Ze still defied all opinions and established the Donghai Trading Company to support the Korean war situation with commercial actions. This shows that Su Ze has no intention of sending troops to occupy North Korea.
Moreover, the Metropolitan Governor's Office has issued a military order announcing that Yi Sun-shin was retired from the Southeast Army. He is now the leader of the Korean Progressive Party, not a general in the Southeast.
Therefore, Southeast's attitude towards Japan should be the same as that of North Korea. Japan and Korea may become annexed like Ryukyu in the future, but currently Southeast has no plans to occupy their territory.
The question now is how to deal with the relationship with Southeast in the future.
Yi Sun-shin also had a headache.
As a small country, North Korea does not have many viable industries and is not rich in natural resources. Yi Sun-shin still has no idea how to develop North Korea.
If North Korea cannot benefit from the development of Asia, a better outcome would be to take the initiative to merge with the Southeast to gain dividends, like Ryukyu, and gain support by becoming part of the Southeast.
The bad result was that Yi Sun-shin was ousted again by Chang Sun-shin and Song Sun-shin until a leader who could bring a future to North Korea was chosen.
At this point, Yi Sun-shin was a little envious of the Japanese country.
The Japanese country is very rich in silver. This alone can guarantee the Japanese country's position in the entire Asian system, not to mention that the population of the Japanese country exceeds that of North Korea.
Population is the market, and a huge market is development potential. Even if we undertake some light industrial projects, we can take off.
However, at this time, Kinoshita Tokichiro could not think of what was bothering Yi Sun-shin. He excitedly set off from Busan and returned to Japan by boat.
Since reconnecting with Oda Nobunaga, Kinoshita Tokichiro has returned home.
He learned from Oda Nobunaga's letter that his wife did not remarry after he lost contact and was still waiting for him at home.
He also knew that Oda Nobunaga had gone from an ordinary local daimyo to a powerful daimyo stirring up troubles in the Japanese country. Now the entire Japanese country was gradually uniting to try to encircle and suppress Oda Nobunaga, an ambitious man who wanted to become the new shogun.
Kinoshita Tokichiro was even more certain that Lord Oda needed him. He wanted to bring back advanced military technology and assist Lord Oda in realizing his dream of spreading weapons throughout the world!
And Kinoshita Tokichiro also has a sense of urgency. The war in Korea is about to be over, the war in Annan is also about to end, Nanyang has surrendered, and when Japan is unified and surrenders to the southeast, it will not even be able to get a share of the soup.
We must assist Lord Oda to unify Japan as soon as possible, and then immediately go to Nanjing to pay tribute to the Governor! Only in this way can Japan gain its own place in Asia's new order!
