In the 34th year of Jiajing, when the Ming Dynasty was suffering from the capture of the south and the north, North Korea also encountered great trouble, and a group of Japanese soldiers under the command of Wang Zhi landed in North Korea, ravaged the Korean border and coastal defense, and wreaked havoc for several months.

The local military system in Korea was originally controlled by suppression, which was similar to that of China's Jiedu envoys, which delegated military power to the local provinces and attributed them to the inspectors, but after the Yimao Revolution, the Yi Dynasty government was jealous of the autocratic power of the provincial government, so it withdrew the command of the local army from the provincial government.

In addition, they set up an independent system, and the military power was dispersed, and it belonged to the military and water envoys of the province, and then to the assistant generals, and then to the defense envoys, border patrol envoys, and marshals, and they were under the control of all levels, and all the provinces were not allowed to interfere or command.

To put it bluntly, in fact, in the whole of Korea, the administration and the army are divided into two management lines, parallel to each other, and no one has to listen to the other; if there is any hostile situation, the provincial government can discuss with the commander of the military region, and if the relationship between the two is good, they can cooperate with the action, but if the commander of the military region does not take care of the civilian officials of the provincial government, then the civilian officials have no problem at all.

This system of separating the military from the government is quite advanced and effective, and the military power is vested in the imperial court, and the civil officials of the local government are not allowed to interfere, while the commander-in-chief of the army, Marshal Du, is appointed by the king of Joseon himself, and the military power is vested in the king of Joseon, and the civil servants are not allowed to interfere.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, generals such as Li Jue and Pu Hong dared to withdraw thousands of miles and ignore the constraints of Song Xiangxian, Pu Jin and other government envoys, precisely because of this embodiment of the mutual subordination of the military and government.

Xiao Ruxun heard Liu Chenglong talk about this matter, and felt quite interested, and then asked Liu Chenglong to talk about it in detail, Liu Chenglong said with a wry smile, this method is good, but once it encounters the external invasion of this extremely powerful enemy, the disadvantages will come out.

If the two sides do not cooperate, this government will not be able to gather all its strength to fight against foreign enemies, although the power of the royal family is guaranteed, but it is inconvenient for the country.

Xiao Ruxun thought in his heart, in fact, at the beginning, the Ming Dynasty also did this, the guard system and the five military governors became a military management line and the civilian system did not interfere with each other, but before and after the change of the civil fort, the guard system declined, the quality of the Ming army generals and the quality of the soldiers were greatly reduced, and it was completely unable to meet the needs of the country.

To put it bluntly, it is still the fundamental mistake of the system of military personnel defending the country from generation to generation designed by Zhu Yuanzhang, which determines the inevitability of the collapse of the guard system from the root, and the decline of military generals will inevitably lead to the infringement of civilian officials.

Lao Zhu has no foresight, so that the Ming Dynasty is like a bamboo, from the seed planted, it is doomed to the fate of regular destruction, if you want to change all this, you must brake the guard designed by Zhu Yuanzhang, fundamentally solve the decline of the Ming generals, it is best to establish a military academy to train military generals, so that the generals can rise again.

Even with the support of the emperor, it will be difficult to achieve results in two or thirty years.

The use of the three major campaigns and the Ming-Burma War to train a group of strong generals can only improve the situation of the generals for a while, with the advent of the period of peaceful development, the status of the generals still cannot be improved, and after that, that is, the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, who has the time to do these actions?

What to do?

After reprimanding the Korean ministers and making them dare not talk about the war anymore, Xiao Ruxun ordered the army to assemble in Pyongyang, and all the materials piled up in Yiju and Jeongju Anju were transferred to Pyongyang, which was completed within ten days, and then ordered the sentinels to go south to explore the information of the Japanese invaders, and Xiao Ruxun was stationed in Pyongyang to take charge of the overall situation.

On the Korean side, Li Hao ordered officials of all sizes to rush to various parts of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province to restore rule and production, pacify the displaced people, and begin to treat the land ravaged by the Japanese invaders.

They didn't have time to harass the Ming army for the time being, and Xiao Ruxun also got a precious period of recuperation, so that the lightly injured soldiers could recuperate, return to the team as soon as possible, stabilize the injuries of the seriously injured soldiers, and stay in Yizhou to recuperate, so as to ensure the integrity of the Ming army's combat effectiveness.

Xiao Ruxun's approach is extremely correct, after the 45,000 Ming army annihilated the Japanese army of 36,000 people, it still maintained about 42,000 capable combat troops, and the battle was basically not weakened in the battle, and the morale was even better, and the battle loss ratio reached an astonishing 1 to 20, which has to be said to be a solid victory.

On the sixth day of November, the Seoul Front heard the news of the Ming army's onslaught on Pyongyang, and on the eighth day of November, the Japanese army headquarters in Seoul ushered in three special envoys.

Three Japanese prisoners who did not die in the siege of Pyongyang, they hid in a dry well, and were only searched out by Chen Xie after the war, and were about to be beheaded, but Yuan Huang stopped them, repaired a book, and then asked them to take the head of the younger brother of the Xuansu monk Konishi Yukicho and the head of the lord of Tsushima Island that the Ming army cleaned out of the ruins to Seoul to "report the good news" to the Japanese command.

Coming back with these three people was Kuroda Nagamasa, who was shocked by the annihilation of the 2,000 reinforcements brought by Otomo Yoshitomo, he weighed the pros and cons, and felt that the end of stubbornly defending Huanghae Road would only be worse than that of Konishi Yukinaga, his third army only had more than 10,000 people, and he had lost one-third of his troops in the battle so far, so he directly gave up Huanghae-do, pulled the remaining troops to Kaesong and Kobayakawa Takakei to join forces, and came to Seoul by himself.

So the Japanese high command learned that the 15,000-strong First Army Corps of Konishi Yukinaga was wiped out, and it was basically wiped out, only the news that the three of them were released back, Konishi Yukinaga was not dead, but he was captured and ready to be sent to Beijing to be dedicated to the Ming Emperor, and the rest of the generals such as Matsuura Zhenxin Arima Harunobu and others had all been killed.

The Japanese commander Ukita Hideie, who was two years younger than Xiao Ruxun and only twenty years old, was inexplicably frightened, he was originally sent by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to gild his knowledge, and he didn't expect him to make much credit, as long as he did things according to the advice of the elder group sent to him by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and established his prestige steadily.

He is a young man that Toyotomi Hideyoshi values, and he intends to cultivate him as his hardcore cronies to enhance his voice, as well as as his existence as an existence that he can trust after death, and he attaches great importance to it.

But in this case, Ukita Hideya, who has been going well, panicked.

He hurriedly convened a meeting of elders and told the elders the letter and the news, and the elders looked at each other, and then someone remembered Kuroda's contrary advice when discussing the war in Pyongyang before.

Kuroda Rusui's name is not often known, everyone is more familiar with the name Kuroda Kanwei and the title of "rare famous military division", and it can even be said that it can be said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Guo Jia, and Kuroda Kanwei also let Toyotomi Hideyoshi dominate Japan, although not actually, but in terms of relative merits, Kuroda Rushui is indeed not to be underestimated.

It is precisely because of his high wisdom that he will be strictly guarded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who has told the people around him more than once that after his death, if the regime is unstable, it must be Kuroda Rushui who can take the world.
