Chapter 105 The idea of ​​advancing both land and water

All in all, everyone sees everything in their eyes.

During the meal, Admiral Xiao made meat for the big guys, stared at the cooks cooking, and tried every means to make delicious food for us to eat in the meal. Brothers who were injured, as long as there was still breath, Admiral Xiao would not give up. The wounded brothers were all carried into the tents of the doctors for treatment, and none of them died.

Since he joined the army, he has never seen a general who attaches so much importance to the lives of his brothers as Admiral Xiao.

This is enough, the army's heart is easily held in the hand, and when the army's heart is collected, using soldiers is like using one's own arms. No matter where the soldiers come from, as long as they are willing to obey orders and trust the general, then this army will have It is a prerequisite for becoming a strong army.

Huo Qubing and Li Rusong didn’t care about the soldiers, they relied solely on personal prestige and bravery to frighten the soldiers. The soldiers feared but did not respect them. Such an army is strong but it cannot last. Pretending to be a soldier in his heart, and the soldier is thinking of the general, then even if the general dies, the soul of the army is still there, just like the Qi family army.

Eating exquisite dishes and drinking mellow fine wine, Xiao Ruxun's brain was unusually clear.

In order to keep all the Japanese troops in North Korea, the Daemyung Navy and the North Korean Navy Yi Sun-shin must be dispatched to cooperate to capture Tsushima Island, cut off the contact between the Japanese invaders and the Japanese mainland, completely trap them, and move the entire front forward. Over time, Japan will directly threaten the mainland of Japan, Japan will lose its command of the sea, and its navy will not be able to defeat the naval forces of Ming Dynasty and North Korea. Then they can only watch helplessly as all the Japanese invaders are left behind, and they have to use up the last bit of national strength to defend the mainland.

To do this, Xiao Ruxun needs at least the help of three people.

Song Yingchang, Minister of Liaodong, Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Yijun, Emperor Wanli.

We must pass this line, gradually gain approval, and then push the navy on the southeast coast to mobilize troops, arrive at North Korea and fight side by side with Yi Sun-shin's troops, completely defeat the Japanese navy, gain control of the sea, and cut off the transportation, supplies and retreat routes of the Japanese invaders. , it is best to force them to voluntarily surrender, even if they can't, they can starve to death.

The number of naval forces under Yi Sun-shin's command was the most to contain the Japanese navy and hinder the sea transportation, but it was not enough to completely defeat the Japanese navy. To do this, the Daming Navy had to be dispatched.

But this is another huge military expenditure. I wonder if the court can agree to it?When Xiao Ruxun sent the victory report to Song Yingchang, he had already explained his strategic concept, with Yuan Huang's attached signature on it. It was a proposal made by the two of them. I don't know if Song Yingchang would agree with it and forwarded this proposal to To Shi Xing and Zhu Yijun.

After a night of banquets, this time Li Yan learned to be good, and many North Korean ministers also learned to be good. Seeing that Xiao Ruxun was not drunk at all, he was afraid that what happened last time would make Admiral Xiao unhappy, so he didn't dare to drink too much this night. , the generals saw that Xiao Ruxun didn't drink much, so they didn't dare to drink heavily, for fear that Admiral Xiao would blame him, so everyone just ate vegetables and seldom drank heavily.

Even Li Rusong saw that everyone didn't drink too much, and knew that it was due to Xiao Ruxun's prestige. Although he was not reconciled, he didn't dare to get really drunk. Meat, make up for the lack of oil and water.

All the generals were arranged to rest in the upper room one after another, each served by a charming North Korean maid, the generals who were not drunk could not be filled with lust, basically they all brought disaster to the North Korean maid who came to their door, Xiao Ruxun also got two maids Serving, but Xiao Ruxun had something on his mind. After returning to the house, he changed his clothes and began to write letters to Zhu Yijun, intending to further elaborate on this strategic concept and to directly persuade Zhu Yijun.

He considered that both Song Yingchang and Shi Xing belonged to the literati group, and the mining tax eunuchs were severely resisted by the literati, and those who dared to support were knocked down one after another. Knowing whether Song Yingchang has such worries and concerns, if he does not support, then Xiao Ruxun can bypass him and write directly to the emperor.

You can't go through the channel of Tongzhengsi, otherwise you will definitely be suppressed, and you won't be able to reach the emperor's eyes at all. Then, there is only one way to go.

Jin Yiwei.

Xiao Ruxun asked the North Korean maid to leave, wrote the letter himself, and put it in a small bamboo tube, then called one of his personal guards, whispered a few words to him, the soldiers nodded in understanding, and went to Xiao Ruxun in the dark designated location.

That night, Xiao Ruxun kept hearing the sound of upside-down phoenixes. Those bastards who were burning with desire seemed to be competing who was more violent. One shouted louder than the other. The two North Korean maids were called back, and suddenly they heard a familiar voice from the next door. After a moment of surprise, they knew that the two maids might not have heard the experience of the previous two maids. Went to Yuan Huang's house next door?

Pain too!

Xiao Ruxun began to miss his beloved wife.

When the generals got up refreshed the next day to attend the military meeting, many people saw that their admiral's eye circles were a bit dark, and they all speculated in private how many daughters the admiral had guarded last night. After a few minutes, how many "enemy generals" were picked off the horse, there was a lot of discussion and snickering in the audience, Xiao Ruxun could only knock his teeth down and swallow it, it was very bitter...

The military meeting began soon. On the left side, the North Korean ministers sat in a row, headed by Liu Chenglong who rushed back yesterday night, and on the right side, the Ming generals sat in a row headed by Xiao Ruxun, but I don’t know why Yuan Huang didn’t show up. Of course, Everyone is not surprised, after all, it is an old man who needs to rest for a while.

"So, shall we begin?"

Li Yan asked Xiao Ruxun for his opinion.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, bowed slightly, then straightened up and said: "In this operation, our army annihilated [-] Japanese pirates under the commander of Xiaonishi and more than [-] Japanese pirates under Fengshan's reinforcements before Pyongyang, a total of more than [-] people." , and later ambushed more than [-] people under Kato Kiyomasa in the valley to the east of Uiju, and gathered and wiped them out. In these two battles, a total of more than [-] Japanese pirates were wiped out. Kato Kiyomasa was captured, this is the most important result."

Li Yan and the North Korean ministers were amazed, and they repeatedly praised the strength of Xiao Ruxun's troops with joy on their faces.

"In this battle, our army killed [-] soldiers, about [-] were slightly injured, and about [-] were seriously injured. The overall combat strength of the army has not been lost, so there is still strength to fight again."

As soon as Xiao Ruxun said this, Li Yan became very happy, and said with great joy: "Then I don't know when Admiral Xiao will fight again and conquer Seoul?"

The implication is to expect Xiao Ruxun to fight again immediately, overcome Seoul, and drive all the Japanese out of North Korea in one go.

"This is what the foreign minister wants to say, Your Majesty, since Pyongyang has been overcome, for the convenience of future operations, the foreign minister hopes that the king and all the ministers and workers can return to Pyongyang to take charge, and the foreign minister will order the transfer of the entire headquarters. Pyongyang, we will make the next step after hoarding all the materials and going to Pyongyang.”

"This……"

Li Yan murmured in his heart for a while.
