Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In another time and space, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched the invasion of Korea only in April of the 20th year of Wanli, that is, eleven months later.

    But now that the Ming Dynasty is in civil war, the Japanese, who are good at speculating, must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and start in advance.

    In March, after confirming that the Ming Dynasty was not acting, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave up the position of Sekihaku to his adopted son Hidetsuki, and moved to Kitakyushu Hizen Country, across the sea from North Korea, to Hiradoya Castle as "Taiko".

    In this base camp he built specifically for the invasion of North Korea, a total of 300,000 troops have gathered!

    At the same time, through the crazy construction of the whole country and the gathering of naval forces across the country, Hideyoshi had a huge fleet including more than 700 warships and more than 2,000 auxiliary ships.

    This "world's first" navy will be responsible for transporting land and logistics supplies to North Korea.  It also shoulders the important task of destroying the North Korean navy and blocking the reinforced Ming navy Although the people of the Ming Dynasty have too much time to take care of themselves, they are unlikely to meddle in this nosy matter.

    It¡¯s no wonder that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was so crazy that he thought, ¡®With the combat power of our army, to deal with the Ming army, it would be like a flood breaking sand, a sharp sword breaking bamboo¡¯.

    Someone suggested that his army should bring more interpreters who understand Chinese and Korean, and at the same time let the samurai and ashigaru study these two languages ??seriously.  .

    Your Excellency, however, said contemptuously: "That's not necessary. In the future, when the three countries are unified, they will all speak Japanese."

    Not just the monkeys, the entire Japanese army in Nagoya is filled with extreme optimism, believing that North Korea will be easily obtained, and this trip is to earn merit!

    Therefore, the army commanders competed in front of the monkeys all day long, hoping to be designated as the vanguard.

    At the end of April, His Excellency announced the final military plan. With Hideie Ukita as the commander-in-chief, he would lead the nine most elite legions, totaling 150,000 troops, as the advance troops to enter the court in three groups!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The First Army has 18,000 people, and the commander of the army is Commander Konishi;

    The Second Army consists of 22,000 people and is led by Masakiyoshi Kato;

    The Third Army has 12,000 people and its commander is Kuroda Nagamasa;

    The Fourth Army has 14,500 people, and the commander of the regiment is Shimazu Yoshihiro;

    The Fifth Army has 25,000 troops and is led by Masanori Fukushima;

    The Sixth Army has 15,000 troops, and its commander is Takakage Kobayakawa;

    The Seventh Army has 30,000 people, and its commander is Terumoto Mori;

    The Eighth Army has 11,000 people and its commander is Ukita Hideie;

    The Ninth Army has 11,000 people and its commander is Hidekatsu Hashiba.

    The nine regiment commanders are all direct descendants of Hideyoshi, or famous Warring States generals.  The 150,000-strong army are professional soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles and are extremely powerful in combat!

    The rest of the troops serve as reserves, and the time to enter the DPRK will be determined based on the war situation.

    This time Toyotomi Hideyoshi spent all his capital and sent almost all his elite direct descendants to North Korea.  But he did not allow daimyo such as Tokugawa Ieyasu who had secret intentions to get involved. This shows how confident he is that he will win this battle!

    On the second day of May, Governor Konishi, who served as the vanguard, led the First Corps across the sea to Tsushima Island to stand by.

    On the second day, the order to set off for the Ninth Army was given!

    On the third day, the First Army landed in Busan first!

    In fact, there were various signs that Japan was going to attack North Korea.  Even a year ago, Hao Jie, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, sent a special note to remind the Korean king to prepare for war.

    However, the North Korean monarch Wen Tianwu was so playful that he only forwarded it to Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province, asking them to pay attention to patrols, and then continued to play music and dance, and continued to be busy with party and palace fights.

    Therefore, it is not surprising that Governor Konishi captured the North Korean coastal defense town of Busan Castle in just one hour.

    It was not until the bad news of the fall of Busan reached Seoul that the kings and ministers of the Li Dynasty woke up from a dream and knew that something bad was going on and the house was going to collapse.

    King Li Huo quickly mobilized his troops and generals to organize defense.  However, the Japanese army was overwhelming and easily defeated all Korean troops.  Wherever they went, they burned, looted, and in Jinzhou alone, as many as 60,000 soldiers and civilians were massacred!

    When the rapidly advancing Japanese army wiped out the elite royal army of the Lee Dynasty at Dangeumdae in Chungju, nothing could stop them from taking Seoul.

    At this time, it had only been fourteen days since they landed in Busan, less than half a month

    Knowing that his trump card was destroyed and Wang Jing was in danger, Li Huan quickly made Li Hui, Lord of Guanghai, the crown prince.  Then in the early morning of May 19th, Li Huan and more than 100 of his subordinates fled Seoul in embarrassment in heavy rain and sought refuge in Pyongyang in the northwest.  Of course, the official term is ¡®Î÷ÓΡ¯.

    With the enemy in front of us, the king ran away first, so how could the defenders have any morale at all?

    Two days later, the Japanese army successfully broke through the Han River defense line and occupied Seoul without any blood.

    Then Li Chao organized another groupWanli, has completely offended the big boss?

    Therefore, their attitude is also very ambiguous, and they are ready to betray Wanli at any time.

    This made Wanli panic all day long, feeling that he had been betrayed by the royalists headed by Shen Shixing.

    How could he care about the life and death of Li Chao?

    ??~~

    Fortunately, Li Chao paid tribute three times a year without interruption, and his network of connections in the capital was extraordinary.

    The military envoy Li Dexin paid homage to a circle of piers, and soon learned that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty had already made up his mind.

    The one who has the final say is in Jiangnan

    It was definitely too late to rush to Jiangnan now. Fortunately, he found out that a peace negotiator from the Jiangnan Group was in the capital.

    They will definitely be able to contact the unspeakable devil as quickly as possible

    Li Dexin prepared a generous gift and went to China Shipping Beijing Branch in Dashilar to seek a consultation.

    Unexpectedly, the two envoys received him very warmly and agreed to ask for instructions on his behalf.

    And they don¡¯t accept gifts.

    Li Dexin was so frightened that she thought her gift was too light, so she quickly expressed her gratitude to him after everything was done.

    I feel very tired of hearing about Ma Bi and Cai Yilin. If their relationship doesn¡¯t work out, why don¡¯t they just forget about it?

    There is no way, the monarchs and ministers of small countries are such thieves.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
