218 Pressure from the Imperial Court
There was nothing to rely on anymore, Ishida Mitsunari and Ukita Hide's department were torn clean by Li Rusong's department and Liu Ling's department that rushed up like mad dogs in a very short period of time, and there was not even a slag left, and the two hungry armies ate the last two stubborn Japanese robbers with hungry green eyes, and ended the battle smoothly, and before Song Yingchang arrived at the barracks, the battle of Busan had come to an end.

After a stalemate of almost three months, the Korean Peninsula finally returned to calm, and one after another group of Japanese prisoners were put into a queue, tied up and held in columns, and were escorted back to Seoul by the Ming army.
It seems that the opposition of the civil society to the use of prisoners to mine is not so strong, but this group of strong civil officials will never unconditionally agree with the emperor's opinion, let alone the strengthening of the emperor's power is the indirect weakening of the civil power, the civil officials will not be happy to see such a situation, but whether it is moral or economic, they do not have a strong argument against mining.
The emperor used his own private money to open a mine with the captives he caught, without consuming the strength of the people alone, without consuming a grain of rice and grain for the people, what reason do you use to oppose it? Environmental protection?
Zhu Yijun was very annoyed, and directly issued an edict to the cabinet to scold several cabinet elders in the cabinet to the blood, and then directly ordered to drive out of the court ten times with the scepter of those nonsense officials, this time, there are really few people who dare to intercede with them - if the emperor really locks up the use of the silver money in the inner treasury, the people in the household department will cry first, and then the military department and the industrial department will cry.
Xiao Ruxun fought fiercely here, and the court was not stable at all.
Song Yingchang arrived quickly, this was the first meeting after a few months after meeting last year, and the two met with a lot of emotion.
"Ji Xin, you have lived up to the expectations of any of us, this big victory is enough to flaunt the annals of history, and it is enough to make Xiao Ruxun famous through the ages, 40,000 soldiers, 150,000 enemies, Xiao Ruxun, you are really amazing!"
Song Yingchang looked at Xiao Ruxun with a smile, reached out to hold Xiao Ruxun's hand, and walked into the barracks with Xiao Ruxun.
After entering the barracks, everyone came to a grand reception banquet and celebration banquet, after the feast, all the generals were a little drunk, and they all went back to sleep, Song Yingchang only left Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang, and only three people remained awake in the Chinese army's tent.
"Song Gong, if there's anything important, just say it!"
The lightness on Xiao Ruxun's face disappeared, leaving his face full of seriousness, and the slightly drunken look on Song Yingchang and Yuan Huang's faces also disappeared, replaced by a grim feeling on their faces.
"Okay, just a few of us, I won't go around in circles, the lord and faction in the court are powerful, and they are very dissatisfied with the fact that our army has been consuming a lot of warehouses for a long time, and they don't know how much our dynasty has gained, Your Majesty has blocked the news to the outside world, and does not tell the ministers and the six ministries about this matter, and the ministers and the six ministries do not know how much benefit we can gain from this war, so some honest ministers ask for an end to the battle as soon as possible."
"Dare to ask the minister who is not upright?"
Yuan Huang narrowed his eyes and heard the meaning of Song Yingchang's words.
"Impeach the old man regardless of it, impeach Ji Xin for raising his own self-respect, supporting the army for self-respect, and even slandering the old man and Ji Xin for conspiring to attack North Korea to establish a country, betraying the Ming Dynasty, betraying Your Majesty, and demanding that the old man's position and Ji Xin's position be stopped immediately, and another good general will be selected to command the whole army."
Song Yingchang snorted coldly.
"This ......"
Yuan Huang never expected that he would still overestimate the discipline of those politicians and party sticks, and he could even say this kind of fuck-up words, this kind of undisguised framing with a clear purpose really refreshed the bottom line of the discipline of the Ming civil officials, and from then on, the bottom line of the discipline of the Ming civil officials was even lower.
"Some words will be unspeakable, and you still need to rely on Song Gong to speak up."
Xiao Ruxun was unexpectedly calm: "Song Gong, there is still a last battle to be fought in the future, after this battle is over, Japan will not be able to start a war for at least ten years, the Daming Sea Frontier will inevitably be stable, we can concentrate on other things, Song Gong, in the last two months, please be sure to help the last general to win it!" ”
Song Yingchang looked at Xiao Ruxun and sighed slightly.
"Ji Xin, originally the old man thought about it before he came, if you haven't conquered Busan, then the old man will persuade you to stop in Busan, if you conquer Busan and urge Japan's civil strife, then the old man will do his best to support you, but the old man didn't expect that you not only conquered Busan, prompted Japan's civil strife, but also got Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head in his hands, and even called Japan to cede land and pay compensation, the old man really didn't expect it."
"There are more, Song Gong, before, the wartime peace agreed between the last general and Japan was about four million taels of silver and sixty percent of the silver taels of Iwami Silver Mountain every year, that is, six hundred thousand taels, as well as the cession of the three islands and the opening of ports for trade."
Xiao Ruxun told the previous treaty that had been abandoned by him, he didn't mention this matter to Song Yingchang, he felt that it was better to wait until the treaty was finalized before reporting to Song Yingchang, but now it seems that the pressure of the imperial court is extraordinary, and he has no more time to grind, and he must win enough support to launch the last decisive battle!
"Four million taels? 600,000 taels? Ji Xin, did the Japanese agree? ”
Song Yingchang's eyes widened: "If you tell Your Majesty about this matter, Your Majesty will definitely give your full support, and will not allow anyone to interfere with this decisive battle, and the pressure on the DPRK and China will be greatly weakened!" Ji Xin, why didn't you tell the old man? ”
"Because the Admiral has rejected this treaty!"
Song Yingchang's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Why? ”
"Because the last general thinks that Da Ming can get more! Four million taels of silver, it's sent to Hanako! The big tomorrow is facing the country, can you send it away with just four million taels of silver? In the end, what I will ask for is 10 million taels of silver and the entire Iwami Silver Mountain! It's only four million taels, it's not a problem at all! ”
"One...... Ten million? Ji Xin, will the Japanese side really agree? ”
"It's best if you don't agree, if you don't agree, the last general will have an excuse to start another war against them, Song Gong, you don't have to be impatient, the last general will tell you about the situation in Japan at this moment, after you listen, you will naturally draw a suitable conclusion."
Looking at Xiao Ruxun's earnest face, Song Yingchang nodded silently.
"Say it."
