In the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, the pattern of the First World War in Korea changed dramatically in an instant.

Following the annihilation of Konishi's Yukinaga's army, the Second Army, which had been completely cut off from its supply lines, hurried south, but was ambushed in the upper reaches of the Datong River.

Kiyomasa Kato died, and less than a thousand men of the entire Second Army fled the battlefield in disarray.

Less than five days later, the news that Yoshiaki Kato, who was also of the Kato clan, had died in the Korean Strait returned to North Korea, along with Yasuharu Wakisaka.

Yoshiaki Kato died in a sea charge, while Yasuharu Wakisaka was surrounded by the Ming navy from another side.

In a naval battle, the Japanese lost a total of 27 transport ships and 34 warships. Combined with the losses suffered in previous encounters with North Korean sailors, the number of Japanese ships has dropped sharply by more than 100.

During this period, as a group of Ming cavalry attacked everywhere, including Kaesong, Cheorwon City, Anbian City, and Chuncheon City, all of which belonged to the Yellow Sea and Gangwon Province, were recovered by the Ming army.

At this point, north of the Han River, only Seoul was still in the hands of the Japanese people.

"Lord Shen, you don't have the slightest attitude of peace!"

"You have to give us an explanation why the Ming army is still actively attacking us while sending you to negotiate peace."

Seoul, Pavilion Lobby.

As the general of the Ninth Group Army, Yuchai Xiusheng burst in angrily, and slapped the table directly at Shen Weijing: "Don't forget, you are still with us now, if Admiral Daming doesn't care about your life or death, I can help him kill you, a hypothetical minister who has no discussion and sincerity." ”

"What if the minister?"

Shen Weijing sneered when he heard this, and waved his cuff with his right hand: "This official is recommended by my Ming Military Department, and the Admiral is promoted, you dare to say that I am a fake?" ”

"Your official position is real, but your coming to negotiate peace is fake, fake!" Yushiba Xiusheng repeated the last word angrily, and his hands were even more clenched to the saber at his waist.

"Doubt my sincerity in negotiating peace?"

When Shen Weijing heard this, his face also turned cold: "I also want to ask the general of your country, when will we be able to find out who are the Japanese who attacked our mission." At first, it was poisoned, and if it didn't work, it was assassinated, did you have any protection? Let me tell you, we can live not because of how kind you people are, but because our lives are hard enough. ”

"The repeated attacks on the mission in Seoul have caused the Admiral to lose patience, and the dispatch of cavalry and naval troops is just a warning to you. If you don't show peace sincerity, I will leave Seoul, and then 100,000 of your troops will die in Korea, and no one will be able to leave! ”

Through the transmission of information from Liu Ye's side, Shen Weijing also knew how many major events had happened during this time.

The Daming waterway used a two-pronged approach to defeat the Japanese people one after another. The sea transportation channels are not secured, and the Japanese people of Seoul can only retreat into the city.

As for going out of the city, the Japanese soldiers who did not have war horses were not opponents at all in the face of the threat of the Jianzhou Iron Cavalry plus the Three-Eyed Gun.

This has been explained by the fighting that has taken place for dozens of days. Even if the Japanese found the right place to ambush, they could only be defeated in the end.

Of course, the fighting in Huanghaidao during this period was not completely on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Jianzhou cavalry completed the task assigned by Mo Xiaobai, it was ambushed several times, and there was also a lot of damage, of which nearly half of them were killed or wounded. This is also the confidence of Yuchai Xiusheng who dared to come to question Shen Weijing, and snorted at the moment: "If you want to leave all of us behind, your Ming soldiers and horses will also be buried with us." ”

"We'll see."

Shen Weijing was too lazy to continue talking nonsense, and left with his sleeves after speaking. Yuchai Xiusheng also walked away angrily, his face was cloudy, and he was actually more worried that the army would give up the peace.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the embassy are in the city, it is up to them to decide whether they live or die, but even if they kill these hundreds of people, it will not make the Ming lose much strength, but will make Seoul fall into the crazy attack of the Ming army.

Damn the peace legation, damn the Ming army.

If you hadn't stirred up the situation, North Korea would have been defeated a long time ago.

………

"Humble Nurhachi, see Admiral."

After dozens of days of expedition and capture one city after another, Nurhachi and Li Rusong finally returned to Pyongyang in early February with their troops and horses.

Nurhachi has no qualifications to put on a score, even if he is unhappy with the loss of four or five thousand soldiers in his heart, he still has to bow down honestly.

Next to him, Li Rusong looked proud, and he was straight there, as if he hadn't seen Mo Xiaobai.

"After a lot of travel, the two of you have worked hard."

Mo Xiaobai squinted his eyes and raised his hand to signal Nurhachi to get up, and then said: "You did a good job in sending troops this time, Seoul is now a lone army in the north, and our door is a big step closer to victory." ”

"It's all adults who strategize, and we can only get the merits of war."

Nurhachi was still respectful, but after finishing speaking, he said: "Most of the credit for successfully connecting more than a dozen cities belongs to General Li, and I hope that the Admiral can ignore the past suspicions, and I am willing to continue to fight under General Li." ”

"The credit goes to General Lee?"

Mo Xiaobai touched his chin and said with a smile: "You are the one who contributed to the effort, and it is also yours to break the soldiers and horses, so you still ask for merit for him?" Li Rusong, Li Rusong, your father's adopted son is really not in vain. ”

"Okay, just what you Nurhachi said is right, but I heard that more than half of your soldiers and horses have been lost, and it is no longer suitable to fight, so I decided to transfer you back to Uiju and continue to help me monitor North Korea's movements."

When Mo Xiaobai said his plan, Nurhachi was obviously a little stunned, but Li Rusong took a step forward faster: "You villain, you actually went back on your word!" ”

"Backtracking? Li Rusong: What are you talking about? ”

"I said that you are a villain, and you obviously have a word, as long as I can make meritorious contributions, you will allow me to fight independently, and now you are actually going to transfer me back to Yizhou, is it not a backsprint or what?"

Li Rusong was already very unkind to see Mo Xiaobai, and this would be even more naked and scolded: "Despicable people, isn't it because you can also take the city and make meritorious contributions, so you transferred me away, you have seen such despicable methods a lot over the years!" ”

One by one, despicable and despicable, Mo Xiaobai, who was originally in a good mood, also frowned: "Li Rusong, you'd better see who you're talking to, I have just said very clearly, your soldiers and horses are too badly damaged, and you can't go out of the camp to participate in the war at will." ”

"I have my own to replenish the damaged soldiers and horses, you don't have to worry about this!"

"You add?" Mo Xiaobai smiled, and at the same time looked at Nurhachi, with a few banters flashing in his eyes.

Li Rusong didn't care about this, and also turned his head and said: "Anu, you will send someone to Jianzhou Wei again, and transfer 10,000 cavalry to accompany the army." ”

Still transferring troops from me?

Another 10,000 rides?

When Nurhachi heard this, he was like a mouthful of old blood.

Lao Tzu's soldiers are not soldiers?

Do you have to be defeated to be willing?

There seemed to be 10 million reluctances in his heart, but Nurhachi knew that he had already tied up the Li family's chariot, and he had to help the Li family unconditionally.

If you don't help, once the Li family is weakened too early, the next unlucky person will be yourself.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the admiral can also rest assured, 10,000 cavalry I can afford to build a state guard, and I guarantee that they are all elite divisions that can fight well, enough to deal with the Japanese people."

As Nurhachi finished speaking, Mo Xiaobai pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Okay, you go and transfer troops now, I want to see an additional 10,000 iron cavalry go south within twenty days." ”
