Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 298 Three-way March
On August 26th, the [-]th year of Wanli, Japan.

Just as the Allied Forces of Ming Dynasty and North Korea were sharpening their swords, the current Japanese Sekibaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi had come to the end of his life.

The unfavorable situation of the battle made him worry, and the defeat in Ulsan exhausted all his energy. The once ambitious expedition to the Tang Kingdom has become a joke.Originally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had been suffering from illnesses for many years. After the Battle of Ulsan, his illness was exacerbated. Seeing that he could not live for a few days, all ambitions had dissipated, and he needed to consider his own affairs.

As early as the beginning of April this year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered that half of the more than [-] soldiers in the court, about [-] people, be withdrawn to Japan.Today, it is ordered to withdraw all generals to Japan.At the end of his life, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still needs to consider the succession of his family. The master Shaochen is strong, his son Ashi is only five years old, and the ministers are all young and strong. They, after their own death, there is no guarantee that they will not have a coveted heart in the future.

But now it is impossible to solve these powerful ministers, they can only win over them.Toyotomi Hideyoshi designated Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Uesugi Kagekatsu, Mori Terumoto, and Ukita Hideyoshi as the five elders to assist the government together, hoping to exchange their power for their loyalty to the young master.In addition to the five elders, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also appointed the five chief executives, consisting of Asano Nagamasa, Ishida Mitsunari, Maeda Genyi, Nagatsu Masaka, and Masuda Changmori, to assist the five elders in the name of supervision.

In this way, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still worried. Before he was dying, he summoned the five elders and asked to swear allegiance in front of his five-year-old son Ashi, who is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and signed several copies. affidavit.The state of panic makes people laugh, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the first hero, was dying to go to the doctor when he was sick, pinning his hopes on the most worthless affidavit.

After the five elders signed the oath, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave some comfort, and finally he issued an order to withdraw the troops: "All the foreign soldiers will be withdrawn, and the specific matters will be handled by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Don't let the [-] generals become overseas wandering souls..."

On the [-]th, the overzealous man who vowed to conquer North Korea and Ming Dynasty, chose his residence in Ningbo, and brought India into Japan's territory died, leaving a poem after his death: "I am like the morning glow descending In the world, coming and going is fleeting. Osaka is majestic and imposing, just like the illusory posture in the song."

Later generations generally translate it as: "I came to the world like dew, and passed away like dewdrops. This is my life, the past in Osaka, and a dream within a dream."

……
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was 1.4m 63 in height, died at the age of [-]. In order not to shake the morale of the Japanese army, the five elders negotiated to keep the secret of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death strictly. The Japanese army sent an order: "Do your best to negotiate a peace, if the negotiation fails, retreat across the board."

The date of withdrawal across the board was set on the fifth day of November in the 26th year of Wanli. Before that, the emissary strictly ordered all the troops in the court to deploy strict defenses, and those who deserted would be shot to death, and vowed to repel all attacks of the Tang Dynasty.In order to ensure the success of the withdrawal, only a few people, including Yukio Konishi and Kato Kiyomasa, were informed of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death.

Of course, the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not a secret. As early as March in Yangchun, the streets and alleys of the North Korean capital were singing that the Japanese chieftain Hei Hideyoshi had died, but no one believed it, because according to rumors, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was already dead. Many times.However, near September, both Huang Laifu and the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty got the news that the Japanese Chief Ping Hideyoshi was indeed dead.

This is exciting news.

……

On the seventh day of September in the 26th year of Wanli, North Korea, Gyeongju.

The weather in North Korea is cool in late autumn, and this weather is also suitable for combat.

In the meeting hall of the Admiral’s Mansion in Gyeongju, there was a crowd of Ming Dynasty officers in bright red cloaks and iron helmets. Except for Admiral Huang Laifu, in the Shidong Expedition Army, there were a total of about [-] commander-in-chief soldiers. Gui, Liu Ting, Dong Yiyuan, Chen Lin and others, including Marshal Quan Li of the North Korean capital, sat on the two sides of the lower head to listen to the discussion.

As for some participating generals and guerrilla officers, they didn't even have a place to sit, they stood behind their own officers.

Huang Laifu and Governor Xing Jie sat side by side at the top. In less than [-] years, he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Countless soldiers have to bow their heads and obey orders. Looking at the generals at the bottom, this sense of power in a high position cannot be tolerated. Don't let Huang Laifu feel high-spirited.From Qianhu to the admiral, it can be said that all of this is due to his own struggle.

Huang Laifu glanced at the generals one by one. Among the generals, Ma Gui and Dong Yiyuan both had friendship with him, and they admired the elite of the Shanxi Army very much. They had nothing to do with him as an admiral. The opinion is that Liu Ting and Chen Lin have some criticisms.

He looked at Xing Jie. Xing Jie was still dressed in a red official robe, dressed as a civil servant. He slightly gestured to Huang Laifu, and then said to everyone: "The Japanese chief Ping Hideyoshi has died. This is the dead Japanese thief. Time will not wait." I, our Taiwan Academy, have discussed with Admiral Huang to advance and suppress as soon as possible! This time, the army will be divided into three groups to attack, so that the Japanese cannot look at each other from head to tail, and the strength of each route is more than 3 people. It will be hard to resist the power of heaven."

He laughed again and said: "Of course, I feel Yang Jinglue's precept, the specific military affairs will be planned by Admiral Huang, and our Taiwan Institute will manage food and grass for the army in the rear, guard the pay and roads, so that the soldiers will not have to worry about hunger. "

Chen Lin complimented: "Your Excellency, why should you be overly humble? We are just rough people. It is still possible to take the head of the enemy's chieftain by beheading generals and capturing the flag. This strategy planning and deployment must be done by the Governor."

Xing Jie frowned, Huang Laifu glanced coldly at him, and Chen Lin slapped the horse's ass on the horse's leg, so he had to shut up in resentment.

Huang Laifu ordered his soldiers to take out a huge map of southern Korea and put it on the center of the hall, where the situation of the enemy and ourselves was clear at a glance.Huang Laifu walked to the map with big strides, and the nail leaves on his body jingled accordingly.Several general soldiers and Marshal Quan Li of the North Korean capital surrounded him.Xing Jie also stood behind Huang Laifu and watched with his hands behind his back.

Huang Laifu drew out his sword and pointed at the map and said: "According to investigations, after the Battle of Ulsan, the Japanese bandits have mobilized more than half of their troops back to the country to rest, and the current number of troops in the court is less than 5000. Especially after the death of the Japanese chieftain Ping Hideyoshi, the Japanese have no fighting spirit. .At the moment, Japanese troops are deployed in the DPRK: East Road, Japanese generals Kato Kiyoshi and Kuroda Nagamasa led [-] people to occupy Xishengpu Wa Castle. The remaining people occupied Suncheon Wa Fortress. On the middle road, Japanese general Shimadzu Yoshihiro led more than [-] people to occupy Sacheon Wa Fortress, and the soldiers and horses of the three routes echoed each other in solidarity. The rest of the Japanese occupied Busan and other places."

It was clearly indicated on the map, and all the generals nodded.

Huang Laifu said: "Therefore, the strategy of the admiral and the governor is to divide our [-] troops from the Ming Dynasty and the North Korean army into three groups, and respectively attack the east, west, middle and three routes of Japanese cities. In addition, hundreds of warships from the Ming Dynasty and the Korean Navy were also arranged to cruise in important seaports such as Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang, and sank all Japanese fleets that dared to dock. , such a cage in which the Japanese are imprisoned, there is no escape, and they will surely collapse without a fight, and the court affairs can be settled."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, even Liu Ting and Chen Lin looked at Huang Laifu in admiration, they couldn't see that this young doll really had a hand.In fact, the elite of Huang Laifu's Shanxi Army, after all this time, the two of them have also seen it, especially the performance of the Shanxi Army in Ulsan, which is widely rumored among the North Korean Army and the Ming Army. It's not that they haven't heard, It's just that out of ego, I don't want to admit it.

Huang Laifu's strategy for marching this time can be said to be very feasible and perfect. If the court affairs are really settled, they will naturally have a lot of credit to share.

Huang Laifu returned to the desk, and there were a lot of arrows and arrows on the desk. Everyone knew that Huang Laifu was going to give an order, so they all stood up straight!
Huang Laifu shook his cloak, slowly scanned the generals in the hall, his eyes were sharp and bright, and after a while, he said solemnly: "According to the weather and the enemy's situation, our army is scheduled to march in three days, and the current troops and horses are arranged as follows!"

He took out a command arrow from the table and said loudly, "Where is Dong Yiyuan?"
Dong Yiyuan strode forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "The end is here!"

Huang Laifu said: "You are the commander of the Central Route Army. You will lead 5000 Ming troops and 3000 Korean troops. Set off in three days to attack the Sacheon pirate Shimadzu Yoshihiro's department!"

Dong Yiyuan shouted: "The last general takes orders!"

Step forward and take the command arrow!

Huang Laifu said again: "Liu Ting, where is Quan Li?"

The two stepped forward and said, "The end is here!"

Huang Laifu said: "Liu Ting, you are the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, leading 4000 Ming troops, and Quan Li, Marshal of the Imperial Army Capital, leading [-] imperial troops to attack Shuntian Xiaoxixing Commander!"

Knowing that the military order is like a mountain, Liu Ting stepped forward with Quan Li to accept the order.

Huang Laifu also said that he was the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, and together with Magui, he led a total of 5000 Ming troops, and Jin Yingrui, a general of the North Korean army, led 5000 North Korean troops to attack Kato Kiyomasa's department in Wacheng, Xishengpu.

In the end, he ordered Chen Lin to be the commander of the navy, to lead the navy with 5000 men, and Li Shunchen, the three-way commander of the navy, to lead the navy with more than [-] men and hundreds of warships of various colors. Cooperate with Liu Ting to attack Shuntian City from the sea.

Huang Laifu's command was determined, calm and calm, and he came with all orders one by one, and everyone couldn't help being unconvinced. Although Liu Ting and Chen Lin were a little dissatisfied, they had to admit that Huang Laifu's arrangement was impeccable, and even Governor Xing Jie nodded secretly However, while he was delighted that Daming had an additional famous general, he also thought about whether Huang Laifu was in such a high position before he reached his thirties, would it be too late in the future?Some worries arose in my heart.

Finally, Huang Laifu said sharply: "On the day of the march, all generals must fight with all their strength, and those who flinch will be executed without mercy!"

All the generals obeyed with a bang, the sound of armor!
……

With the sufficient national strength of Ming Dynasty, the food, grass and military equipment in the army are worry-free. Three days later, on the tenth day of September in the 26th year of Wanli, the [-] coalition troops of Ming Dynasty and North Korea, sent by the local people, came out in a mighty way. Qingzhou, after that, the troops were divided into three groups, and they directly attacked the three predetermined Japanese cities by sea and land.

The prosperity of its armor and its great momentum made the Japanese frightened when they heard about it!
