Chapter 1081 Undercurrents surged under the shock
Thousands of horsemen were ambushed in Pyongyang, almost the entire army was wiped out, and this news could not be concealed if it was wanted to be concealed, and it quickly spread to Liaoning and Jingshi, and then with Jingshi as the center, it quickly spread everywhere.

Liaoning shook, Beijing shook, the world shook, 5,000 cavalry is still known as the strong Liaoning cavalry, it is said that only the main general with less than 300 cavalry back to the Ming Dynasty, collected for three days, but only 500 cavalry.
The cavalry of the horse team suffered defeat, and they were often able to collect a lot of scattered soldiers afterwards, but this time it was actually this record, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were annihilated.
Originally, those civil and military officials who despised the Japanese were cautious, such a force came to Korea, so close to the heart of the Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi, then it could not be treated leisurely.
Emperor Wanli, who had only appeared in the side hall of Fengtianmen once every three or five days, began to go to the court every day, and various institutions in the court and in Beijing began to operate at a high level.
After such a long time, the information collected in the port of Tianjin Wei is rich enough, at first the news that came to Beijing through the owners of the merchant ships was that the Japanese were more than 100,000 and nearly 200,000 troops, and the Beijing division thought it was absurd, but slowly, the number of people who came was between 100,000 and 200,000, only more than this number, but not less, plus the news from Liaodong, now it is probably possible to conclude that the Japanese are at least an army of more than 100,000 soldiers.
With such a scale and such a strong army appearing in Korea, it is really a big trouble, and it can wipe out more than 5,000 cavalry in Liaoxi in an ambush battle, and such combat effectiveness is not high.
Li Rubai, the general soldier of Liaoxi who actively asked for war before, was really in a position at this time, and he could not advance or retreat, and if such a failure appeared, if he went to fight again, he would inevitably exhaust his family funds, but if he didn't fight, he didn't show his attitude, and he was afraid that the guilt would come up.
In the end, Li Chengliang was sitting behind the scenes, and it was still decent to deal with it, when Zu Chengxun's battle report was sent to Beijing, Li Rubai's petition for guilt and war was also sent to Beijing.
The Li family expressed their attitude and was willing to use all available soldiers and horses in western Liaoning to go to Korea to fight to the death against the Japanese invaders, and asked the imperial court for permission.
Even Li Rusong, who was in Xuanfu, had no choice but to follow the above table to ask for war, and now it is necessary to expand the scale of this war as much as possible and use military exploits to wash away the sins.
However, such a thing has happened, but the imperial court does not dare to make a big judgment, and the Liaoning governor Xu Guangguo's performance is very clear.
Except for one governor in Yunnan, the governors of the other provinces have the title of commander and soldier in their official titles, which means that the governor is also responsible for the military affairs of the territory under his jurisdiction.
Zu Chengxun's defeat, Xu Guangguo naturally has to bear the responsibility, Xu Guangguo did not hide it, he really pleaded guilty for himself in the twists and turns, the court will not do anything to him in this matter, Xu Guangguo also has a lot in his heart, in a sense, he, the governor of Liaoning, is not pushed out by the court, but by the inner court, with this background, naturally there is no need to worry too much.
In addition to asking for war, the main thing is to explain the situation in Korea, and ask the imperial court to be cautious, and to do a good job of defense first, and then seek a way to conquer.
The strategy proposed on this recital is also decent, and the imperial court naturally allows it, first letting Xu Guangguo preside over the defense on the spot, and then the imperial court prepares for the follow-up.
The news of the so-called appearance of the traces of the Japanese in the area of Changbai Mountain was soon proved to be false, and Sun Shoulian, the general soldier of southern Liaoning, returned to the area of Yizhou and arranged soldiers and horses.
Xu Guangguo, the governor of Liaoning, began to mobilize troops and horses, in fact, it was simple, that is, to draw troops and horses from eastern and western Liaodong to supplement the fortresses on the banks of the Yalu River and the border of the Ming Dynasty in southern Liaoning, and do a good job of defense.
Xu Guangguo was actually not very nervous, because after the defeat of Zu Chengxun's cavalry, there was no change in the small territory still in the hands of North Korea on the North Korean side of the Yalu River, and there was no urgency, which showed that the soldiers and horses of the Japanese had no intention of moving westward for the time being, and the situation was not so urgent.
Ma Lin dispatched a total of 8,000 cavalry and foot soldiers, a deputy general led the troops, but there were more than 16,000 people here in Liaoxi, and it was the chief soldier Li Rubai who personally led the team, and the elite backbone of the Li family almost poured out, which can be regarded as an attitude, and is also prepared, if there is a chance to enter the DPRK to fight, then the Li family must use the strongest strength to obtain meritorious deeds and wash away the bastards in front.
Xu Guangguo, the governor of Liaoning in Shenyang, was also preparing to go to the Phoenix City of Dingliao's right guard, and commanded nearby, and the governors elsewhere had a 2,000 to 3,000 patrol pacesetters in their hands, led by a guerrilla, but Xu Guangguo had more than 500 guards in his hands, and Fubiao was just an empty shelf.
But Xu Guangguo really wants to mobilize, and he can gather thousands or even tens of thousands of elite forces, because the guards and civilian regiments of the merchant groups and reclamation farms around Liaoning can be mobilized.
Because it was wartime, from Liaoning to Jingshi, from Yizhou to Shenyang, a postal route was arranged for fast horses and expedited mail delivery to ensure that the news could be delivered smoothly and in a timely manner.
The reason for the defeat of Zu Chengxun who came back from Yizhou, after Xu Guangguo added a comment, he quickly sent it to Jingshi, but this evaluation document was not sent to the palace with the song, but was handed over to Shuntianfu Cheng Lu Wancai.
There is about to be a big war, there is a big enemy in Korea, and there is already a tense atmosphere in the Jingshi, but Lu Wancai, who is the prince of Shuntian Mansion, is not busy.
In the eyes of outsiders, this Lu Fucheng seems to be a little more leisurely than usual, and he is very comfortable seeing guests and banqueting guests every day, which makes people quite incomprehensible, Wang Tong's roles, not to mention anything else, but they are not people who like to have fun and relax, this is the consensus of everyone, and now this Lu Wancai is a little abnormal.
Since the seventeenth year of Wanli, there have been more than ten Jinshi from Tianjin Wei, not to mention the people, the local wealth is rich, and they are willing to spend money on studying, which is always effective.
Some of these people went to the local government to become officials, and some stayed in Beijing to be officials and officials, and most of the people also had a real job in the Beijing and Tianjin area, where they were born, their positions were also tended to be, and the scholars and civil officials of Su Songchang and Hangjiahu waved their flags and shouted for their own side all day long, on the one hand, they wanted to reduce or reduce commercial taxes, and on the other hand, they wanted to encourage land annexation, and Tianjin Wei was naturally inclined to the interests of these emerging business groups in Tianjin Wei, and they insisted on collecting commercial taxes, because if the commercial taxes were reduced, Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion would not be reduced. On the contrary, the industrialists and merchants in other places were allowed to compete with the merchant groups on the port side at a lower cost, but they supported the land annexation, because the more land annexation was carried out, the more jobless and landless peasants there were, the more labor force the port merchant groups could have, and the pioneer and reclamation everywhere could recruit more manpower.
The argument held by this literati is now also a scene in the court, and the scholars from Songjiang Mansion in the south and the scholars in Shanxi gradually converged with Tianjin Wei.
The similarities and differences between their arguments and the remarks of Jiangnan scholars have made many onlookers understand some things, and it turns out that the political disputes between the DPRK and China under the pretext of righteousness and the principles of sages and sages are for the sake of one kind or another.
In general, this group of civil officials and scholars who tend to be in the port and the colonial merchant group, Lu Wancai can use it, in a sense, he Lu Wancai is also the highest official in this group, and he has a close relationship with Wang Tong, the brain of the merchant group, so he naturally has this qualification.
If you carefully study the identity of this civil official, you will find that they all have one or another relationship with the port merchant group to a greater or lesser extent, and some of them are not from that side, but they already have rich interests in those places, and the relationship is naturally close.
It is most normal for officials to form gangs in Beijing, but Lu Wan can be regarded as the descendant of the Son of Heaven, and this can also be said to be to solicit people's hearts for the emperor, and no one can find out.
Seeing the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the atmosphere in Beijing is tense, but the festive atmosphere is also strong, Cai Nan, the supervisor in charge of several departments of the Tianjin Wei and the forbidden army, has to go to Beijing to run errands as usual, to put it bluntly, he is to give gifts to everywhere, say hello to everywhere, and sometimes contact the noble families to inform them of their situation in Tianjin's health industry.
This year, North Korea has a large army of Japanese invaders, and Tianjin Wei is also an important coastal defense area, and Cai Nan has another task when he enters Beijing, which is to inform the Beijing division of how Tianjin Wei's defense preparations are.
Tolerances are naturally done during the day, and the time at night is relatively free, as in the past, it is usually Li Wenyuan or Lu Wancai who has a banquet, and this time it is Lu Wancai.
In the house of Shuntian Fucheng, the subordinates were instructed early, saying that their lord and Cai Gonggong had something to say, and the idle people avoided it, and such things were not uncommon.
"Father-in-law Cai, Lord Xu has sent a few letters to Lu, and Lu thinks what he said is reasonable, Father-in-law Cai, please take a look."
There are big candles lit in the house, there are lanterns in several places, it looks quite bright, Cai Nan took the letterhead and unfolded it there, and it was already finished in a short time, Cai Nan picked up the wine cup but did not drink, and played with it and groaned.
"Gonggong Cai, what Lord Xu said makes sense, everyone's glory and wealth are on Guogong, but now Guogong lives in a corner of Songjiang, some things are indeed like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, although the emperor is close to him, he is always so far away, no matter how thick the affection is, if you want Guogong to prosper forever, you can't relax on this piece of merit!"
Cai Nan put down the letter, looked at Lu Wancai carefully, nodded slowly, and Lu Wancai leaned closer and said:
"Gonggong Cai is in the army, he is familiar with military affairs, and he wants to be more targeted, you see?" ――
