Although Governor Konishi and Kiyoshi Kato were both shocked by the weakness of North Korea, their ideas were still different, mainly because of their different backgrounds. Kiyoshi Kato was a samurai and was very martial. If you can fight, don’t be able to fight.

Governor Xiaoxi was born as a businessman, so he still hoped to get the most rewards at the lowest cost, so he suggested going south to join the Franjimen and launching an attack on the Ming Dynasty from the north to the south.

This businessman is very realistic and knowledgeable. Governor Xiaoxi knows how big the Ming Dynasty is, and the Japanese family can't swallow it at all. Now he is also upholding this belief. He is unwilling to completely destroy North Korea. He still hopes to unite North Korea and the Jurchens to attack the Ming Dynasty. If North Korea is completely destroyed, it will not be of any benefit to Japan. By then, North Korea will not even have the ability to supply.

Personally, he also has a lot of business in North Korea.

However, Kiyomasa Kato believes that Konishi is a businessman. He is not good at leading troops to fight. It is because of his lack of ability, which leads him to always think about alliance with others. A truly powerful country does not need to alliance with others, but only needs to conquer.

But this is normal. After all, Kiyomasa Kato has just left the village, and I don’t know what the scale of the war outside is...!

But even though there are many problems within Japan, North Korea is still irresistible.

The war was so fast that even Wanli didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, he was also furious at Dong Ping, the leader of the Jinyiwei.

Qianqing Palace.

"What did your Jinyiwei do?"

Wanli is standing on the steps, paced back and forth, suddenly stopped, pointed at Dong Ping, and angrily said, "I have probably told you to pay attention to the situation in North Korea at all times, but what about you? Hanyang (the capital of North Korea) has fallen, and your information has been sent here, which is really outrageous."

Dong Ping said with a grievance: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This... we cannot blame our Jinyiwei. It took only half a month for the Japanese army to land to capture Hanyang. Our first letter of information was to take the sea route and we were going to send it to Tianjinwei first. But we never thought that Hanyang would fall so soon. We were afraid that we would delay military information, so we changed our land route and rushed to the capital. This was actually the second letter of information."

"Nonsense." Wanli angrily rebuked: "What do you mean is that the speed of the Japanese army's advance is faster than our intelligence?"

"I...I don't know much, but...but that's what the information says." Dong Ping looked at Wanli very innocently, cursing the information sent in his heart a hundred and eighty times.

The first battle report was sealed, the capital fell.

this...!

He didn't dare to pat his chest and promise that the letter must be true.

It's really a little too exaggerated.

"You guys are useless."

Wanli cursed in anger.

He was really injured. He has been constantly rectifying the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang in the past two years, but when something happened, his virtue was still disappointed!

Can you be more competitive?

Tian Yi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is probably true."

Wanli asked, "How do you say this?"

Tian Yidao: "Based on the information obtained before, the Japanese army launched an attack more than half a month ago. According to our information, the time when the Japanese army invaded North Korea was the same as expected. If Hanyang had fallen, the Japanese army would probably take Hanyang in just half a month."

Wanli said: "How is this possible? No matter how weak North Korea is, it is not as weak as this. Over the years, North Korea has been fighting with the Jurchens. Ning Yuanbo also wrote many letters to mention this matter, and he will never be so weak."

Tian Yi thought for a little, and said, "Maybe it was because North Korea stockpiled all its elite troops in the north that it was lost so quickly."

At this time, Dong Ping also recovered and said quickly: "When the Japanese army fought against Franjimen in Penghu, our intelligence also mentioned many times that the Japanese army had very strong combat effectiveness. In addition, North Korea's narrow territory, it is estimated that the distance from the Japanese army's landing site to Hanyang is not enough to leave Northern Zhili. It is not completely impossible to take Hanyang in half a month."

"But they are fighting, and they are not in a hurry to go home for the New Year." Having said that, Wanli's tone also eased a lot. He suddenly realized how small North Korea is, and it was not impossible, and said, "Xuan Guo faded into the palace immediately."

......

"Hanyang fell? Your Majesty, did you miss something in the humble position?"

Guo Dan looked at Wanli with a confused look on his face.

Wanli glanced at Dong Ping beside him, you see, it wasn't that I was just losing my temper. Guo Dan was exactly the same as me, and no normal person would believe it.

Dong Ping thought to himself that both of you wished you could wear a pair of pants. It was normal that they were exactly the same, but he didn't dare to say it, so he stood up and said, "Consultant Guo, this is the first piece of information we received. The Japanese army occupied Hanyang in half a month."

Guo Dan took a breath of air conditioning and questioned: "Is it true or false?"

Dong Ping said: "This shouldn't be fake."

Guo Dan said in lingering fear: "Fortunately we were prepared, otherwise we would not be able to save us."

Dong Ping coughed twice, "Actually... it's probably too late now, because according to this situation, it is possible that the Japanese army has occupied the entire North Korea in about a month, but no matter how fast we can't send troops to donate to North Korea within half a month."

“…!”

Guo Dan was immediately confused, and his heart was full of horses. Wow... He really deserves to be a magical country. In terms of teammates of pigs, Yi Daili may be able to compete with him. But is this my reason, or is it so fast in history?

In fact, it was his reason. It was precisely because the Ming Dynasty showed a little power in Penghu that Japan's entire plan was postponed for a whole year and prepared more fully, with a speed of five or six days faster than in history.

Guo Dan said again: "The closest to North Korea is the Jurchens. Why would you send the Jianzhou Jurchens to rescue?"

According to his plan, this war can only be fought in North Korea, but it cannot be fought inland. However, according to this situation, it will be able to reach inland soon. He hopes to slow down and give everyone a time to react.

No tacit understanding at all.

Really.

"Ahem!"

Dong Ping coughed twice again and said, "According to the information from Liaodong, the Jianzhou women are actually fighting with the Haixi Jurchens."

"Haha...this is such a coincidence!"

Guo Dan laughed.

Dong Ping said: "However, if the Japanese army still wants to advance north after occupying North Korea, they must face the Jurchens."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wanli's expression changed slightly and he did not make any sound.

If the Japanese army can kill each other with the Jurchens, it seems to be good, but the Jianzhou Jurchens belong to the Ming Dynasty after all, and this matter can only be understood but not explained.

Tian Yi suddenly said: "But what if the Jurchens turn against each other at the end of the battle...!"

Wanli's expression changed again, and he said, "It's better to immediately send Fang Fengshi to manage Liaodong and let Li Rusong take over the Liaodong army."

Guo Dan immediately said: "Your Majesty, this North Korean letter of help has not arrived yet. We are so happy that we can deliver it to our door. It is difficult to negotiate terms in the future!"

Dong Ping said: "But it is also possible that North Korea's envoys are still halfway, and North Korea has fallen."

"This speed is really embarrassing!" Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said to Wanli: "But please don't worry, your Majesty, they are just on the same page, we are not afraid, it may be just a little more trouble."

Wanli immediately asked, "Do you want to spend more money?"

"Spend a little more." Guo Dan said cautiously.

Wanli frowned and said, "It's better not to let the Japanese and Jurchens reach an alliance." At this point, he pondered a little more: "We can't be too slow for the Japanese army so fast, factory minister, Guo Dan, you go to Liaodong immediately and be fully responsible for diplomatic matters."

Zhang Cheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this arrangement may be inappropriate! Guo Dan is not an official appointed by the court, but only a financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty. If he was asked to take charge of such an important matter, it would probably cause dissatisfaction from the cabinet."

Wanli said: "When North Korea sends people to ask for help, I will send Wang Xijue to go."

Speaking of this, he winked at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded with understanding.

Zhang Cheng, Tian Yi, and Dong Ping all saw it, but everyone knew it.

This war is a battle for money and for profit. Whether it is territory or port, it is not a war of life and death. The cabinet ministers naturally cannot understand the mystery. They must be traditional diplomacy. Only Guo Dan knows what Wanli wants, so he can only send Guo Dan to go.

In addition, Guo Dan is definitely responsible for the logistics. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first, and Guo Dan must have to go there.

Anyway, it is not the first time that their Emperor and Shang combination has done this.

After Tian Yi, Dong Ping and Guo Dan retreated, Wanli said to Zhang Cheng with a serious expression: "Insider, I have a very important thing to arrange for you to do."

When Zhang Cheng heard this, a sense of responsibility for accepting the task in the face of danger arises naturally. When the opportunity to make achievements comes, he immediately stood up and said, "I will never disappoint Your Majesty."

"very good!"

Wanli nodded and said, "You should immediately send someone to purchase shares of Grand Canyon, Fengchi Group, and Yinuo Grain Store. Remember, this matter must not leak the news."

“…!”

After a stick of incense, Zhang Cheng left the palace and muttered: "It seems that there is no need to worry about this at all. You should live your life as usual."

......

"So suddenly?"

Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan in surprise.

Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Madam should ask North Korea, not me, and I don't know what the hell is North Korea."

Aunt Xu said: "It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is even stronger than we imagined."

Guo Dan said: "But no matter how fierce a child is, he will be slapped to the ground by a scholar who is powerless."

Aunt Xu said, "I'll go with you."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Feixu just needs to go with me. You have to stay in the capital to preside over the overall situation. There are also logistics issues and the opinions of the ministers."
