Chapter 109 The Red Line
This kind of talk is too long for other people's ambition to destroy one's own prestige, even if it is true, Kuroda Nagamasa can't say it.

Kuroda Nagamasa shook his head.

"Gather Mori Yoshinari's army, plus the 1 troops from the Eighth Army, the remaining 7000 from my Third Army, 1 from Kobayakawa Takakage's Sixth Army, and more than 5 troops from the four armies. Some of Fukushima Masamori's troops can be dispatched from Chungcheongdo to help in the battle, and [-] soldiers will face Xiao Ruxun, with Kato Kiyomasa's troops beside him, so there should be a chance of winning."

Ukita Hideka nodded, and asked again: "Is the fighting power of the Ming army really so terrible? Did those three people say anything else?"

"They explained that the army's combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, and their firearms are excellent. They also have things similar to our iron cannons, and they also have a large number of stone fire tubes. Once they fight, they will be fired in unison. We can't resist at all. President Xiaonishi was defeated like this. Yes, I predict that the firearms and equipment of the Ming army are not inferior to ours, and other equipment must be very sophisticated, if we go head-to-head, we may not be able to take advantage of it."

Kuroda Nagamasa had a bitter face, helpless.

Ukita Hideya sighed and shook his head.

"Tai Ge also said that he would annex Ming after the destruction of North Korea, but it is so terrifying that Ming sent only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. How many such troops should there be in such a big country? Tai Ge still underestimates Ming. , we are too small compared to the Ming country, so how can we annex such a big Ming country?"

Kuroda Nagamasa grimaced, and said: "My father has never been optimistic about this battle, thinking that we are fighting with a pebble against a rock. Originally, the fight went so smoothly these days. I thought my father was too cautious, but I didn't expect that I was too arrogant. It is a group of North Korean militiamen that make us exhausted, let alone such a big Ming country?"

Ukita Hideka wryly smiled and said: "But this is Taiko's meaning. Taiko doesn't think we can't beat the Ming Dynasty at all. Once he finds out, he will definitely kill people, and then personally lead troops to attack North Korea! At that time, whether it is you Or me, I might not be able to keep this head!"

"If that's the case, Japan will be in danger!" Kuroda Nagamasa warned: "So don't let the Taige know now, or you will really anger the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be four or fifty thousand people who come to North Korea, but four 50!"

Ukita Hideka closed his eyes in annoyance.

"Why did Taige invade North Korea?"

Kuroda Nagamasa opened his mouth to answer, but he retracted the words when he reached the edge of his mouth. At this moment, Kuroda Nagamasa realized that he did not understand the reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked North Korea and even wanted to annex Ming.

On November [-]th, Xiao Ruxun's good news arrived at Song Yingchang's official residence in Liaoyang. At this moment, Song Yingchang's illness has recovered and he can almost resume normal work. Trusting Xiao Ruxun's plan to give Xiao Ruxun more space, he deliberately took more rest After a period of time, now that he has been raised well, Liu Huangshang, who has been preparing for the army's logistics on his behalf, can breathe a sigh of relief, and just as the two of them were about to leave for Yizhou, Xiao Ruxun's battle report arrived.

Song Yingchang's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Good! Good! Good! Xiao Jixin is worthy of a famous general! He is worthy of a famous general!"

After Song Yingchang handed the battle report to Liu Huangshang, Liu Huangshang was also taken aback when he saw it, and then beamed with joy: "In two consecutive wars, two of the eight Japanese pirate regiments were wiped out, and 7000 people were almost wiped out. , Captured the main generals of the two legions alive, this kind of credit is definitely not small! Moreover, only more than [-] sergeants were killed in battle, and there were more than [-] seriously injured but safe lives. With such a ratio of battle losses, Xiao Jixin is worthy of a famous general!"

"Yes! These days, the old man is worried that the war damage will be too great. Shibutang will not be able to suppress the momentum of the peace party. If such news is sent back to the court, those people in peace will be able to shut up! It’s really beautiful, the first battle depends on the north of the Daedong River, the next battle will be in Kaesong or Seoul, if we win again, we will directly recover half of North Korea’s land, it can be said to be a great reputation, and the Japanese pirates will definitely be terrified!”

"It's a pity that Xiao Jixin was born 30 years late." Liu Huangshang said with emotion: "If Xiao Jixin had been born 30 years earlier, the Jiajing Dynasty would not have been as poor and weak as the Southern Japanese and Northern Captives for so many years. You have to be careful, but it's okay, after all, it has appeared. If there are any major changes in the future, with Xiao Jixin as the main general, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner! Hahahaha, um... um? This..."

"what happened?"

Song Yingchang looked at Liu Huangshang, Liu Huangshang raised his head, and said solemnly: "Mr. Jinglue, you should read the second page of this battle report."

Song Yingchang took the battle report, looked at the second page, and immediately frowned after seeing it.

"Xiao Jixin suggested that the imperial court mobilize the southeast navy to gather in Shandong, cross the sea to North Korea, join forces with the North Korean Jeollado navy, annihilate the main force of the Japanese pirate navy, occupy Tsushima Island, cut off the connection between Japan and Tsushima Island, and completely destroy North Korea. The Japanese pirates were all trapped, the soldiers recovered North Korea without bloodshed, and the captives were taken back to the country to replace the common people who worked in the mines to work in the mines, and they will definitely win the hearts of the people..."

Song Yingchang raised his head and looked at Liu Huangshang, who also looked at Song Yingchang with some astonishment.

Can captives still have such a usage?

Song Yingchang and Liu Huangshang did not think of it.

But there was one thing that Song Yingchang and Liu Huangshang were quite concerned about—Xiao Ruxun showed his support for the emperor's mining.

Zhu Yijun increased mining tax and sent mining tax eunuchs to various places to collect mining tax to make up for the state. Everyone knows that although it has not been completely customized, the emperor has already started such an action and dispatched mining tax to several famous large mining areas. The eunuch supervised making money, and was strongly opposed by a large number of civil officials, but the emperor seemed determined to go his own way, dismissing several positions of speech officials in a row, and insisted on carrying it out.

The eunuchs don't listen to civil officials, but only to the emperor, and they can do whatever the emperor asks them to do, so the mine tax eunuchs are everywhere, and the situation is irreversible.

The dispute over the country made the emperor's perception of the officials extremely bad, especially Zhang Wei, the second assistant of the cabinet, led the officials to repeatedly attack, so the emperor took countermeasures, and used moths one after another to distract the officials. The officials spread their fists apart, and no longer pressed the emperor so aggressively to speak.

As an internal official system, it is natural to stand in the same camp as the emperor, but Xiao Ruxun is now in the noble camp, but he has clearly expressed his support for the emperor's mining, and he wants to get [-] captives for the emperor's mining. What's the meaning?
Although Song Yingchang is Wenshuai and Liu Huangshang is also a member of Wenjiang, both of them are not low in political sensitivity.

This is a red line of political correctness in the civil official group. Supporting the emperor is a political mistake, and he will be suppressed by the officials. He will not be able to get a bad reputation. If he does not support the emperor, he will do his best to scold. Even if you are dismissed, you can be transferred to a place where you can continue to dominate. You will know what to do after weighing it.
