66. Unity of opinion

After learning the news of the complete fall of Hamgyong Province, and the previous Ming cavalry was also defeated by the Japanese, the Korean monarchs and ministers were frightened inexplicably, and Li Hao was even shocked three times in one night, and the whole person was haggard, so he had no choice but to continue to send more high-level envoys to the Ming Dynasty and ask for troops.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty would send troops, otherwise why would it send those 3,000 cavalry to deter the Japanese?

Although Governor Konishi won the battle, he also knew very well that his country's logistical capacity had reached its limit, and the iron cannons of the soldiers in his hands had become burning sticks, and there was no gunpowder and lead, so he could not fight at all.

Japan, an island country, dispatched 200,000 young men to serve in this war, and almost all the young men and women that Toyotomi Hideyoshi could control, a large amount of land was uncultivated, and the government could only order the remaining peasants who did not participate in the war to take care of more land and not to make it barren, otherwise they would be punished.

As April dragged into August, Japan's pre-war savings had been exhausted, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to squeeze the blood and sweat of the people.

Half of his world is beaten down and half is discussed, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's actual situation is actually similar to that of Jiang Zhongzheng after the change of banners in the Northeast, and a considerable part of them are listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and later Tokugawa Ieyasu, the last beneficiary of Japan, is the biggest one.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi had never defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu in a frontal battle, but he was only wooed after negotiations, so how could these people willingly contribute their own power?

So Hideyoshi was just fighting with half of Japan.

Under such circumstances, how good can the logistics of the Japanese army on the front line be?

Of course, the North Koreans are no better, in order to promote Zu Chengxun's attack, Liu Chenglong has collapsed on the bed with hemorrhoids, and now if the Ming army goes south, the food will definitely be responsible for the North Koreans, and the North Koreans don't know what moths can come out.

Of course, it was not without good news, such as Jeolla Province, Kwon Su defeated Kobayakawa Takakei on land, and Yi Sunsin defeated the Japanese navy at sea, and Japan's logistical capabilities were dragged down to a considerable extent, which directly affected the battle situation and morale of the Japanese army on the front.

It can be said that without Kwon Su and Yi Sunsin, the battle of Korea would have been even more difficult to fight.

These news encouraged the Koreans, who urged the Ming court to send troops to help them restore their homeland.

The increasingly anxious requests of the Koreans to send troops and the courtiers' desperate desire to suppress the news and determine the choice of the crown prince created a great contradiction, and this contradiction took a turn for the better after the Korean envoys cried all over the Beijing yamen to win widespread sympathy.

The Ministry of War Shangshu Shi Xing shouted that everyone should shift their attention from the dispute over the country to the Korean side, if you don't pay attention to the danger that is close at hand, if the Koreans are completely wiped out, it will be tantamount to a disaster for the Ming Dynasty, Japan will directly threaten the Ming Dynasty's territory, and it is the Ming Dynasty's consistent principle to keep the enemy out of the country, and the country must not be ravaged.

Whether the dispute over the national capital continues is still being debated, but Zhu Yijun's arrangement is not flustered at all.

At the beginning of August, Liaodong guerrilla Zhang Qiquan led 1,000 men to Yizhou, 500 people stayed in Jiulian City, and 4,500 people were stationed in key Sino-Korean border towns such as Matoushan River, Tangzhan, Phoenix, and Kuandian.

If you have to say it, the battle between the north and the south of the Ming army in the future has already appeared at this time.

However, in mid-August, most of the generals of the Liaodong Army suddenly received an order that the troops that were being assembled should stop assembling and return to their original stations.

At the same time, soldiers and horses were dispatched all over the country.

Before the whole army of Zhejiang soldiers gathered, they were all stationed on the bank of the Yalu River, and they were not allowed to enter Korea without an edict. Ningxia Governor Zhu Zhengse and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Yun, who were stationed in Ningxia, suddenly received an order to send the entire Ningxia Firearms Battalion to Liaodong to standby; The governor of Shandong received an edict to mobilize 10,000 gunners from Shandong to assemble and prepare to enter Liaodong; Xiao Daheng, the governor of Zhaoxuan, dispatched 10,000 elite crossbowmen from Xuanda to assemble and prepare to enter Liaodong.

Then he sent people to arrange the supply of grain, grass and ammunition for the passage of troops and horses from all over the country to Liaodong.

Xiao Ruxun's recital focused on the problem of the bird gun and the problem of gunpowder, requiring the bird gun to ensure that it can be used, if it cannot be used, simply reduce the output, so as not to waste national funds, all gunpowder needs to be filled with wooden barrels, and the outside is sealed with oil paper to ensure dryness, North Korea is in the rainy season at the moment, even if it is not at this moment, it is necessary to prevent rain from damaging the gunpowder.

Zhu Yijun also specially ordered Jinyi Wei to dispatch people to investigate the manufacturing problem of the bird gun, and this investigation really found a lot of problems, which made Zhu Yijun sneer again and again - it's okay in peacetime, but in wartime, there is a reason to deal with that group of bastards!

Take advantage of this war to do everything you wanted to do but couldn't do before!

Unify the opinions of the ministers, mobilize elite troops from all over the country, and make sufficient preparations, and then go to war!

Now in the Ming Dynasty, the Ningxia Rebellion has been pacified, there is no longer the biggest constraint, and the courtiers will soon be put down!

How did the North Korean envoy know who to turn to to cry out? Where to go to cry? That was all Zhu Yijun's idea! Those who read books often like to talk about righteousness, so this time, I will use the name of righteousness to crush those bastards!

On August 20, the DPRK meeting, the opinions on sending troops to the DPRK tended to be unified!

On August 29, the day before Xiao Ruxun was summoned by the Ministry of War, Shen Weijing arrived in Pyongyang and began his flickering journey.

Shen Weijing, originally from Pinghu, Zhejiang, is a side branch of the Shen family in Pinghu, according to this person's personal resume, he was a soldier when he was young, practiced medicine, and worked as a staff member under Hu Zongxian.

In the twentieth year of Wanli, Shen Weijing was already over sixty years old, and he was messing with a group of monks and scoundrels in the capital every day.

He is a professional liar and has two essential traits for a liar: first, he has excellent language skills and can speak well; Second, he was born with a good skin, a "long beard and a great face", and a very positive image, not like a liar.

In fact, as early as the end of June, Shen Weijing had already come to North Korea once, but at that time, the Korean monarchs and ministers were full of ambition to counterattack Pyongyang, and naturally they could not let the so-called peace envoys go to bad things, until the counterattack failed, the Korean monarchs and ministers relaxed their tone, and they couldn't wait to greet Shen Weijing, and after Shen Weijing arrived in Pyongyang, it is said that he showed his might and killed the Japanese fiercely, and won a 50-day armistice.

These fifty days played a vital role in the Ming Dynasty's mobilization of troops and generals to unify the thinking, from this point of view, Shen Weijing's big fool still made a great contribution, because when he was fighting with the Japanese, on August 30, Xiao Ruxun, who had been making a villain in the capital for almost three months and did not let him return to Ningxia, finally received a letter from the Ministry of War.

Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department, asked Xiao Ruxun to go to the military department for questioning.
