Chapter 963 Afterglow of the Empire (19)

Liu Ting's heart beat a drum.

I can only bite the bullet and open my eyes and talk nonsense.

What is falsely calling peace talks, what is halfway attacking.

Anyway, no matter whether Wang Shiqi believes it or not, he has to find an excuse for himself, otherwise it will be difficult for him to survive the court's accountability, and if he fails to keep it clean, his former colleagues will go to Jiaofang to patronize his wife and daughter.

Regarding this, Wang Jianjun just smiled and urged Liu Chen to attack the city quickly, show sincerity, and let the brothers in the navy believe in everyone again.

Serving crimes and making meritorious deeds?

Wang Shiqi lightly exposed the matter, which made Liu Ting anxious. Just like Honda Zhongsheng completely lost his trust in the Ming army, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​​​peace talks, and began to force himself to show his direct troops, ready to show a tough stance.

There is only one thing, Admiral Liu can't figure it out, he secretly mobilized fifty-three people, this number is inconspicuous to an army of nearly 30,000, except for the emissary Wu Zongdao who has a little bit of status, the rest are all big soldiers , how could the wind leak?

Ghost!

Unfortunately, Liu Ting couldn't find them, and he didn't have time to dig them out.

Because the actors were extremely active and united in sabotaging the negotiation for their own cake.

Especially Bai Yu.

The troops entering North Korea to fight can be roughly divided into three groups. The first group is the general soldiers and guerrillas stationed on the peninsula, or the Northwest Army who stayed on the banks of the Yalu River to observe the situation. Lu Li, Duke, Pan Ming, and even the Li Dynasty camp The actor is among them.

The second batch was the Liaodong Army who followed Li Rumei's troops to support Seoul, and there were also actors in it.

But there are still many cosplayers who arrived on the peninsula in the stage of big support, and Bai Yu is one of them.

If you don't behave anymore, you will be finished!

There is a high probability that the headmaster arranges this in the hope that their appearance can reverse the tragedy——

The Ming army opened the curtain of resisting Japan and aiding Korea with a failed battle in Pyongyang, and another failed four-way attack ended the confrontation with the Japanese on land.

Although in this process, most of the confrontations between the Ming army and Japan had the upper hand, staged a drama where the less won the more, but the failure of the two battles at the beginning and the end blinded countless pairs of eyes.

So much so that in later generations, Korean scholars even clamored that even without the participation of the Ming army, their ancestors could repel the Japanese pirates.

If Liu Ting, Ma Gui, and Dong Yiyuan had given up their selfishness and been a little more self-sufficient, there would have been no chance for such strange talk to appear, and the achievements of the Ming army would have been unilaterally obliterated by the Koreans hundreds of years later.

"To the extreme, if the imperial court hadn't sent a supervising army to restrain the three admirals, they might have signed a peace agreement with the Japanese and happily sent them back to the country, so that neither side would die, and everyone would be happy."

Lu Li stood overseas and overlooked Suncheon City, waiting for a letter from there, or directly showing sincerity.

The strategic goal of this four-way attack is to cut and isolate the four defense areas of the Japanese army Suncheon, Sacheon, Busan, and Ulsan, break through their defense lines, and annihilate the enemy's vital forces.

Therefore, he didn't think about the other three directions for the time being, and just smashed Shuntian Wacheng!

Otherwise, the so-called big counterattack of nearly 100,000 Ming troops would become a joke. The only positive meaning that can be used to cover up their shame is to make the Japanese realize that the coalition's superiority is unshakable, and then speed up their retreat.

The reason why the Japanese gave up the fat to their mouths was that, firstly, the gain outweighed the loss, and many daimyos hated fighting, and secondly, Hideyoshi's health deteriorated and his life was not long. Maeda Toshiie and other daimyos collectively requested to withdraw their troops.

So what about the old monkey?

Where are you hiding?

Probably not in Suncheon.

Like most people, Lu Li felt that Toyotomi Hideyoshi should be in Sacheon, which was the target of the Central Route Army, and the commander was Dong Yiyuan.

Due to the inconvenient exchange of letters, he could only hope that the fleet sent out earlier would deliver the news as soon as possible, so that he would know the significance of the beacon fire that suddenly burned that night.

Logically speaking, even if Peng Xingu and his black men and soldiers from the Beijing camp had no military discipline, the actor would step up immediately to rule out the explosion factor.

And Dong Yiyuan...

If it is confirmed that Hideyoshi is in Sacheon after taking down Suncheon, then Lu Li will definitely lead the navy to help Dong Yiyuan win the battle.

Compared with the East and West Routes, the Central Route Army has been the most active in history. Although it has nothing to do with personal ideological consciousness, the main reason is that there are many factions under its command, and there are no direct descendants at all. Naturally, they have no intention of preserving their strength, but they dare to fight Dare to fight is really too rare.

Historically, two of the three armies avoided war, and in the end they all reported great victories——

Xing Jie did not dare to write the truth, so he wrote a bit. After all, the process is not important, but the result is important. Although the reason why the two armies were able to win the target was because the Japanese surrendered on their own initiative, and the whole army withdrew to the mainland, but the task was finally completed. .

Only the Central Route Army lost so badly that it was hard to cover it up. As a result, Hao Sanpin and Ma Chengwen, the two generals who escaped first, were shown to the public, and Shi Daoli was dismissed; In the army, he committed crimes and made meritorious deeds; Dong Yiyuan dismissed the officials and demoted them to three levels.

However, because Dong Yiyuan was more conscientious than his two colleagues, at least he had fought the Japanese with real swords and guns, so he won a lot of praise from the Koreans.

(Probably for this reason, after the victory of the War to Resist Japan and Aid Korea, all the generals returned to China to receive rewards or punishments. Only Dong Yiyuan, a great Confucian in the Han Dynasty after Dong Zhongshu, who was at the level of a feudal official, returned to China for a short time with two His sons Dong Dashun and Dong Changshun returned to the peninsula again and chose to settle in Guangchuan.

This vein took root and became a prominent family, namely the Guangchuan Dong family, whose successors are still active today. )

"well."

Together with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

After sighing from the bottom of his heart, Lu Li stopped thinking about these dirty things. This war has lasted too long. On the contrary, Nanyuan, the most dangerous place, actually fought the most comfortably. Now that the war is coming to an end, the situation is very obvious.

With the 100,000 Kwantung Allied Forces joining, the admirals of the Ming Army thought again, on the premise of preserving their own strength as much as possible, defeating and driving away the Japanese pirates, how could the Allied Forces block the return of nearly 200,000 warriors?

You can only intercept and kill as many as possible to impress them.

Honda Zhongsheng and Dongguo Wushuang are Lu Li's ultimate goals. Since he left Nanyuan, he has made money in everything he does.

"My lord, the envoy of the West Route Army seeks an audience."

One word from the communications officer brought the physically and mentally exhausted Lu Li back to reality.

"Let him come here."

If nothing else happened, after accepting his fate, Liu Ting would show great sincerity in order to save his wealth and life.

Sure enough, the envoy told Lu Li that the West Route Army would take the initiative to launch a fierce attack on Shuntian at night, and begged the foreign navy to support it with shelling, so as to distract Zhongsheng from Honda.

There are no secret codes.

Not to mention the time.

Do it yourself first, this is sincerity!

"Dog thing..." Chen Lin sneered.
