A mess!

From the intelligence point of view, there is really no need to ask too much. You just need to understand that North Korea is now a mess. The relationship between the monarch and the people is a mess, and the relationship between the subjects is also a mess.

Yes, it looks very similar to the late Ming Dynasty!

However, North Korea still has the Ming Dynasty to save it. If the Ming Dynasty is not a question of whether it is saved or not, but who can save it? If an empire collapses, no one can bear the weight. It can only be seen whether it is sinking or waiting for revival.

"Is North Korea still saved?"

Guo Dan mustered up the courage to ask.

But as soon as he said that, he regretted it, why bother to say this? Is it a pity?

Chen Tao pondered for a long time before saying: "North Korea currently has two elite troops in the north, one in Ning'an Road and the other in Pekan Road, and it is not completely unresisting. However, the Japanese army attacked too quickly. If North Korea could block it for a while, the Japanese army might have logistical problems. In addition, the commanders of the two Japanese vanguard troops also seem to have a lot of conflict, so there is no hope at all."

The tone is very reluctant, but this is a qualified intelligence officer. The war is changing rapidly, and a little hope can turn the situation around, and this hope is not a little hope.

Tian Yi said in surprise: "Is that true?"

Chen Tao nodded and said, "At present, the main forces of the Japanese invasion of North Korea are their First Army and Second Army, led by their Daming Governor Konishi and Kiyomasa Kato, respectively. However, when attacking Hanyang, the two of them drew their swords at the meeting. It is said that the main reason is that Kiyomasa Kato looked down on Governor Konishi and was born as a businessman!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he looked at Guo Dan awkwardly again.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Seeing what I did, I think Kato is right. The merchants also lead troops to fight, but they are really not doing their jobs and bullying their teachers and destroying their ancestors."

Tian Yi smiled and thought to himself, this kid reacted so quickly.

Chen Tao felt that no one nodded, shook his head, and smiled embarrassedly, and continued to say: "Kitato Kiyomasa hopes that Governor Konishi will attack from the flanks, and he will lead the attack, and also mocked Governor Konishi, which caused the two to almost fight. Fortunately, they were persuaded by other generals. In addition, Governor Konishi also advocated negotiations with North Korea to make North Korea surrender to their Japan, but Kiyomasa Kato advocated the elimination of North Korea and that their Japan would directly rule."

Tian Yi asked: "This master and general are not in harmony, can he still attack Hanyang so quickly?"

"!"

"Okay! When I didn't ask."

Tian Yi took out a silk squid and wiped his lips, and said, "Is your information accurate?"

Chen Tao said: "It's very accurate, but what we know is all news from Governor Xiaoxi, because Governor Xiaoxi's army has our people, and we don't know about Kato Kiyomasa. We may be biased, but there are indeed conflicts between them."

Guo Tan asked: "Where is North Korea, do they plan to surrender to Japan?"

Chen Tao shook his head and said, "At present, there is no such plan. In fact, Governor Xiaoxi has been working hard for this, and has also used his identity as a businessman to surrender many North Korean merchants, using these merchants to lobby the ministers around the North Korean king.

However, because Kiyomasa Kato was brutal to massacre the Korean people, the rebels in Korea rose up everywhere. In this case, the Korean ruler was unlikely to choose to surrender to Japan. The Korean ruler was more inclined to ask for help from our Ming Dynasty.”

Guo Tan asked: "I am also very curious about this, why haven't they come to ask for help yet?"

Chen Tao said: "It is because there are two elite troops in the north of North Korea, and there are still many people in their country. They are unwilling to let our Ming army enter North Korea, thinking that this is just a way to attract tigers and resist wolves."

Tian Yi sneered: "I really have backbone! If you have the ability, don't come and ask for help."

Don’t say that about North Korea. In fact, North Korea is pretty good. At least compared to France, it’s not bad today. Guo Dan said: “What the factory said is, let’s not worry about it, just take a vacation.”

He could understand North Korea's concerns. After all, he also used his own calculations. From the perspective of North Korea, it was more than ten thousand times more difficult to drive away the Ming Dynasty than to drive away Japan. After all, Japan's primary school is weak, and it is not so easy to rule a country similar to it. However, if the Ming Dynasty wants to occupy North Korea, it only needs to put a toe on it, at most, it is the big toe.

Until the last moment, North Korea will never let the Ming army enter North Korea.

Guo Dan suddenly asked Chen Tao again: "For the last question, can the Japanese army contact the Jurchens?"

Chen Tao said: "Not yet."

Guo Dan said to Tian Yi again: "The factory owner has some problems."

"I don't want to ask if there is any." Tian Yi stood up, "I'll go back and rest first."

After saying that, he went straight out of the door.

Oh! You're angry! Haha, this old eunuch is quite unique. Guo Dan smiled happily and said to Chen Tao: "Okay, you go down first, and you'll find you if you have something to do."

"yes!"

When Chen Tao arrived at the door, he happened to meet Yang Feixu who had just come in. He immediately folded his fists and bowed, and then stepped down.

"How about it?"

Guo Dan asked.

Yang Feixu shook his head and said, "It has been confirmed. Now that the internal struggle of the Jurchens is in full swing, the main force of Jianzhou is almost full of his head, and he has no time to pay attention to the situation in North Korea. Information about the tactics and weapons of the Japanese army has been sent to Fang Shangshu. At present, the Japanese army mainly focuses on muskets and spears, and cavalry and artillery are almost negligible."

"That's good!"

Guo Dan nodded slightly.

Yang Feixu asked again: "What's the situation in North Korea?"

Guo Dan shrugged and smiled bitterly: "There are so big that there are so many things. The complexity is no less than that of my Ming Dynasty. I finally understand why the Korean people have always had the heart of a cosmic country. Although they do not have a big country, they have also become sick from a big country. There is not a single disease in this small country, and I can't bear it."

Yang Feixu asked, "What are you going to do?"

Guo Dan pondered for a little, saying, "We still have to wait for North Korea to ask for help, or North Korea surrenders to Japan. Otherwise, how can we explain the reasons for the troops sent to the soldiers of the three armies and fight an aid war that North Korea is unwilling to do."

Yang Feixu said: "But if Korea surrenders to Japan, it will be very unfavorable for us. Should we send people to destroy their contact?"

"There is no need for this." Guo Tan smiled: "If they contact us, it may be a little unfavorable to us, but it is also insignificant. If Japan is willing to accept it, I don't have much opinion. The key is that North Korea is not united at the moment. Even if the king chooses to surrender to Japan, the people will definitely oppose it.

At that time, we can help them restore their country and then change their names to get what we want. Of course, if they come to ask for help, we must be saved. After all, when Japan sent troops, it did not get the permission of my Ming Dynasty, and it also tried to invade my Ming Dynasty. This is related to my Ming Dynasty. If we do not care about the face, when we merchants are doing business around us in the future, we must all bow our heads."

But Guo Dan may be disappointed.

Because of his loyalty, courage and wise eyes, Kiyomasa Kato will not accept such pig teammates.

After taking Hanyang, the Japanese army continued to advance north and came to Kaizhou soon. Kaizhou is located between Pyongyang and Hanyang, and it was the capital of the original capital, which is a very important strategic location.

However, when Governor Konishi was on the way to march, he sent people to contact North Korea, saying that if North Korea is willing to act as a vassal state of Japan, unite with Japan and attack the Ming Dynasty, Japan will immediately stop the attack and safeguard the status of the king.

For North Korea, it was panic that people were in a panic. Now Japan has taken the initiative to ask for negotiations. How could it be said that it would not be discussed? It is one thing to be willing or not, but at least after the talks, it can still use this as a condition to discuss with the Ming Dynasty.

However, just as the two sides were preparing to meet, several Japanese soldiers suddenly shot and killed officials sent by North Korea.

This immediately directly announced that President Xiaoxi’s contact plan had completely failed.

Even if North Korea wants to talk, no one will dare to come.

In a fit of anger, President Konishi took his people to Kato Kiyomasa's military camp.

"Is this what you can do?"

President Konishi held a blood-stained arrow and asked Kato Kiyomasa.

"I am the one who can do it." As a samurai, how could Kato Kiyomasa dare not admit it? The key is that there is no one except him.

President Xiaoxi asked: "Why did you do this?"

Kiyomasa Kato said angrily: "I also want to ask you why I chose to negotiate with North Korea when my army was at the city to destroy our morale. You just hope to take all your military achievements for yourself. You businessmen are so good at taking advantage of opportunities."

North Korea is really too weak. As for Japan's outstanding generals, whoever is going to do it. Kiyomasa Kato has always believed that Governor Konishi would take advantage of his mistakes and have no military talent. Now he has occupied the best of the first army and has made a lot of contributions and even compared their samurai group. This is something he cannot accept.

President Xiaoxi sneered: "Is that so? Then a few days ago, who left the army and rushed into Hanyang City alone to grab the first prize. Unfortunately, he hasn't even been grabbed yet."

Kiyomasa Kato snorted: "You businessmen are really good at confusing right and wrong. It is obvious that our troops will take down Hanyang City first."

President Xiaoxi said: "Today I don't want to argue with you about this matter. I just want you to understand that the meaning of North Korea's surrender to our Japan is not only to save our army's time and strength, but to that North Korea is the most loyal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If North Korea can turn against it, it will inevitably affect the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty's power in the north, and now all this has been destroyed by you."

Kiyomasa Kato said disdainfully: "Have you not seen the corruption and depravity of North Korea? Their people all attacked their kings with stones. Such an allies would only drag down our army if they wanted me to join the Koreans. If they wanted to join the Koreans, only North Korea would accept our rule first, otherwise it would be impossible."

President Xiaoxi gritted his teeth and said, "You are disobeying the orders of Lord Taige. Have you forgotten that before we went to war, Lord Taige reminded us to try our best to make North Korea surrender to Japan through negotiations."

Kiyomasa Kato retorted: "But Lord Taige did not say that after my army has taken Hanyang, we still need to accept North Korea's surrender. I have already sent a message to Lord Taige. I believe Lord Taige will also disdain to join a country like North Korea. As for the Jurchen you are talking about, I want to see what you are saying, is it really as powerful as you said?"

"You will regret it."
