Chapter 107 The Whirlwind of Fear in Seoul
In the 34th year of Jiajing, when Ming was suffering from the southern Japanese and the northern captives, North Korea was also in great trouble. A group of Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's command landed in North Korea and ravaged North Korea's border and coastal defenses. Retreat is for "Yimaowa change".

The local military system in North Korea was originally controlled by towns. This system is similar to that of Jiedushi in China, which devolved military power to the local provinces and belonged to the patrol envoys. With fear, he took the command of the local army away from the Taoist government.

They also set up an independent system. The military power was broken up and belonged to the soldiers and water envoys of their own way, and then went up to the defense general, and then to the defense envoy, patrol envoy, and marshal. Interference, can not command.

To put it bluntly, in fact, throughout North Korea, the administration and the army are divided into two management lines, parallel to each other, and no one has to listen to the other. If there is any enemy situation, the Taoist government can discuss it with the commander of the military region. If the relationship between the two is good, It is possible to cooperate with the action, but if the commander of the military region ignores the civil servants of the Taoist government, then the civil servants will have nothing to do with it.

This system of military-government separation is quite advanced and effective. Military power is vested in the court, and local government officials cannot interfere. Marshal Dou, the commander-in-chief of the army, is appointed by the King of Joseon himself, so military power belongs to the King of Joseon, and civilian officials cannot interfere.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, generals such as Li Jue and Pu Hong dared to retreat for thousands of miles, ignoring the constraints of Song Xiangxian, Park Jin and other government envoys, precisely because of this kind of military and political domination.

When Xiao Ruxun heard Liu Chenglong talk about this matter, he felt very interested, and then asked Liu Chenglong to explain in detail, Liu Chenglong smiled bitterly and said, this method is good, but once encountering such an extremely powerful enemy's invasion, the disadvantages will be Out.

The local military administration is different. Some generals resisted the civil officials and fled, while others escaped from the civil officials. But it is inconvenient for the country.

Xiao Ruxun thought about it in his heart. In fact, at the beginning, the Ming Dynasty did the same. The Weisuo system and the five army governors' mansions became a military management line and the civil service system did not interfere with each other. The quality of generals and soldiers of the Ming army has been greatly reduced, and they are completely unable to meet the needs of the country.

To put it bluntly, it was a fundamental error in the system designed by Zhu Yuanzhang to protect the country from generation to generation. It was determined from the root that the collapse of the guard system was inevitable. The decline of generals would inevitably lead to the infringement of civil officials. The civil official group selected through the imperial examination is constantly being joined by fresh blood, while the military general group has been corrupted from generation to generation, and its quality cannot be compared with that of the civil official, so it is inevitable that the military power will be encroached upon.

Old Zhu had no foresight, which made the Ming Dynasty like a bamboo. From the moment the seed was planted, it was doomed to perish. If we want to change all this, we must stop the guard designed by Zhu Yuanzhang. To solve the decline of Ming generals, it is best to establish a military academy to train generals so that generals can rise again.

But that would be too much of a move, the civil servants group cannot allow the generals group to grow bigger, even with the support of the emperor, it will not be effective in 30 to [-] years, during which time the group of party sticks who fight inside and outside fight with outsiders use a little bit of trickery However, a big hat of "tampering with the ancestral system" may make efforts go to waste, and the risk is too great.

Utilizing the three major conquests and the Ming-Myanmar War to cultivate a group of powerful generals can only improve the situation of the generals for a while. With the coming of the period of peaceful development, the status of the generals still cannot be improved, and after that, it will be the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. Now, who has the time to do these moves?

In the end how to do it?

After reprimanding the North Korean officials so that they did not dare to talk about the war again, Xiao Ruxun ordered the army to gather in Pyongyang, and all the materials piled up in Yizhou and Dingzhou Anzhou were transferred to Pyongyang. South to search for information on Japanese pirates, Xiao Ruxun stationed in Pyongyang to take charge of the overall situation.

On the North Korean side, under the order of Li Yan, officials of all sizes were arranged to rush to various places in Pyongan and Hamgyong to restore rule and production, appease the refugees, and begin to treat the land ravaged by Japanese pirates.

They have no time to harass the Ming army for the time being, and Xiao Ruxun also got a precious period of rest, allowing the slightly injured soldiers to receive recuperation, return to the army as soon as possible, stabilize the injuries of the seriously injured soldiers, stay in Yizhou to recuperate, and ensure the health of the Ming army. Complete combat power.

Xiao Ruxun's approach was extremely correct. After the 6000 Ming army wiped out 4 Japanese troops, they still maintained a combatable force of about [-]. They were basically not weakened during the battle, and their morale was even better. The loss ratio reached an astonishing [-]:[-], and it had to be said that it was a solid victory.

This great victory established Xiao Ruxun's uncompromising position among the Ming army in the Eastern Expedition, and it also caused a whirlwind of fear in Seoul. Li heard the news that the Ming army stormed Pyongyang, and on the eighth day of November, the Japanese military headquarters in Seoul ushered in three special envoys.

Three Japanese prisoners who did not die during the Pyongyang encirclement and annihilation war. They hid in dry wells and were found by Chen Xie after the war. They were about to beheaded, but Yuan Huang stopped them and wrote a letter, and then asked them to take that The head of the younger brother of Konishi Xingchang and the head of Tsushima Island Master that the Ming army cleared out from the ruins of the monk Xuansu went to Seoul to "report the good news" to the Japanese Army Command.

Back with these three people was Kuroda Nagamasa who was taken aback by the annihilation of the 1 reinforcements brought by Otomo Yoshitomo. Xixingchang was even worse. His third army had only more than [-] people, and he had lost one-third of his troops in the battle so far, so he directly gave up on Huanghai Road and pulled the remaining soldiers to Kaesong and Kobayakawa Longjing. One of the soldiers came to Seoul by himself.

That's why the Japanese Army Command learned that the 5000-man First Army under Konishi was wiped out and basically wiped out. Only the three of them were released. Konishi is not dead yet, but He was caught and was going to be sent to Beijing to be dedicated to Emperor Ming. The rest of the generals, such as Matsuura Zhenxin Arima Harunobu and others, were all killed in battle.

Two years younger than Xiao Ruxun and only [-] years old, Hideka Ukita, the commander of the Japanese army, was terrified. Hideyoshi sent him the opinions of the elders to do things, and it is enough to establish prestige steadily.

He is a young man whom Toyotomi Hideyoshi valued, and he intends to cultivate him as his hard-core confidant to enhance his voice, and as an existence that he can rely on in case of death, he is very important.

But in this situation, Ukita Hideo, who has been going smoothly, panicked.

He hurriedly convened a meeting of elders and told the elders the letter and the news. The elders looked at each other in blank dismay. Only then did someone remember Kuroda Rushui's harsh words when discussing the Pyongyang war.

The name of Kuroda Rusui is not often known to people. Everyone is more familiar with the name Kuroda Kanbei and the title of "Rare Famous Military Advisor". It can even be said to be Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Guo Jia, and Kuroda Kanbei Let Toyotomi Hideyoshi dominate Japan, although it is not actual, but in terms of relative achievements, Kuroda Rushui is indeed not to be underestimated.

It is precisely because of his high intellect that he was strictly guarded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi has said to those around him more than once that after his death, if the regime is unstable, Kuroda Rushui must be the one who can win the world .
