Chapter 1084: Jurchen ends
This is really worse than God’s calculations!
Not to mention that Guo Dan couldn't understand, President Xiaoxi couldn't understand it very much. President Xiaoxi, who is now attacking Pyongyang with all his might, almost felt discouraged when he heard this news, packed his luggage and went home.
Attacking the Jurchens, what the hell is this?
What is the significance?
At this point, President Xiaoxi’s plan to complete the wholesale has officially announced that he has died.
Of course, he did not go home. He ordered his subordinates to quickly take down Pyongyang, use North Korea as a stronghold, and wait for an opportunity to act. If he couldn't get through, he would be stalemate with the Ming Dynasty and make plans for the next step.
But then again, we can't blame Kato Kiyomasa completely. He is not a reckless man. He just wants to test the Jurchens' strength, otherwise he wouldn't have run over with five thousand soldiers. In fact, at the beginning, he still let the North Korean puppet troops plunder the Jurchen tribe.
If the other party is too strong, then I will go back. After all, this is done by the Koreans and has nothing to do with me, Japanese, or he will personally negotiate with the Jurchens and discuss the alliance.
But by chance, the main force of Jianzhou came out in full swing and was fighting against the Haixi Jurchens. Kiyomasa Kato didn't know. In addition, the North Korean puppet army was also doing bad things in the middle, so they wanted to lead the Japanese and Jurchens to fight, giving Kiyomasa Kato a lot of misleading information.
When Kato Kiyomasa saw that even the Jurchens could not defeat the Korean soldiers, he felt that his five thousand elite troops were enough to destroy the Jurchens.
This really made a hornet's nest.
Although the Jurchen tribe is very powerful intra-fighting, once foreign tribes invade, they will immediately become united and immediately stop the army on the front line. Not only will they stop the army, but also because Nurhaci's main force could not return to the rescue in time, the Haixi Jurchen tribe next to them organized reinforcements and rushed to Jianzhou.
The North Korean puppet army collapsed before it was touched, and it scattered before it was beaten.
Because they had no reason to fight this battle, he just wanted to let the Japanese fight with the Jurchens.
Kiyomasa Kato could only lead the elite troops to fight. As soon as he repelled all the reinforcements, three more reinforcements came. The Jurchen tribes along the side spontaneously organized reinforcements to support Jianzhou. Although there was no command, the Jurchens were not North Korea after all, and their combat effectiveness was really not weak. The Jurchens suppressed Kato Kiyomasa Kato in terms of momentum.
The old scholars, women and children, all went to battle, just like they were fighting with you.
Kiyomasa Kato finally realized that Governor Konishi had not lie to him. This was really a piece of iron. Just like them, they would only be exhausted here. If they wanted to destroy the Jurchens, they would have to mobilize a large army to attack.
He was unwilling to consume his elites here, and they had no logistics supplies at all, so he decided to return to Tumenjiang.
The Haixi Jurchens could not pursue them either.
As soon as Kato Kiyoshi retreated, Nurhaci led the main force and rushed back, almost meeting him.
When Nurhaci came back, he saw corpses everywhere. Three of the people in the towns were all massacred, and a thousand people died. They were so angry that they almost vomited blood. The nest was almost stolen. Nurhaci, who was young and energetic, could not swallow this breath and wanted to lead the army to chase and kill him.
This hatred is irreconcilable!
But he was stopped by a counselor named Gong Zhengqing in his corps.
"People don't be excited."
Gong Zhengqing said: "When we sent troops, the Japanese army had just invaded North Korea. Now the Japanese army has crossed the Tumen River. It can be seen that the Japanese army is not that good-for-nothing. At present, we do not know much about the Korean war situation and are not prepared. If the general attacks rashly, it will be a loss of troops and generals, and it will not be worth the loss."
Nurhaci said excitedly: "Even if I am willing to listen to my sir, my Jurchen people will not agree."
Gong Zhengqing said: "This is a perfect opportunity for the general to unify the Jurchens. Now all the Jurchen tribes hate the Japanese. According to the previous attitude of the Japanese, they were going to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would never sit idly by. The general could write to the court and express his willingness to lead the Jurchen tribes to aid Korea. Now, the general can unify the Jurchen tribes without spending one soldier and one soldier, and also get help from the court. In addition, if the general can successfully expel the Japanese army, it will also force Korea to surrender and solve our future worries in one fell swoop."
North Korea has taken advantage of the Jurchens' civil strife before, but it has not bullied the Jurchens a lot.
North Korea is the back of the Jurchens.
Why did Nurhaci go out to attack the Haixi Jurchens this time? It was because President Xiaoxi sent someone to contact them. Although Nurhaci did not agree, he did not explicitly refuse. He believed that once the Japanese army invaded North Korea, North Korea would have to do its best and there was no worries in the rear, so he transferred all the main forces to the front line.
Who knew that North Korea was so outrageously defeated? Nurhaci also thought that the Japanese army could not defeat it. He never thought that the Japanese army not only fought, but also rushed to his lair.
But this made the Jurchens share the same hatred of the enemy, which is an excellent opportunity.
If the Haixi Jurchens and the Jurchens can be unified in one fell swoop and make Korea surrender, Nurhaci will make a big profit this time.
Nurhaci, who was still angry just now, suddenly became ecstatic and quickly sent someone to Liaodong to find out the attitude of the Ming court. He still had to wait until the court decided to support North Korea before he could write a letter to express his willingness to go.
If the court is unwilling to support North Korea, then he has no choice. He still has to send troops in the name of the court, so that he can get the logistics support from the court. Jianzhou alone cannot support him to assist North Korea.
And Shen Shixing and the others finally got the exact report of the war, and the Japanese army did come to the border.
Wanli immediately decided to send troops to support North Korea, and immediately sent Li Rusong and other generals to Liaodong, ready to fight in North Korea at any time.
As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor must be determined in this regard and be generous. Otherwise, who will follow you!
But if the specific operation is done, the fat guy doesn’t care about it, he just takes care of showing off. The rest is all Shen Shixing and the others will discuss.
"Our army can immediately mobilize 30,000 troops to support you."
Shen Shixing really patted his chest and said to Li Dexin.
Li Dexin was immediately ecstatic and said, "Why do you need 30,000? Only 3,000 soldiers are needed. The Japanese pirates will escape when they hear the news."
Shen Shixing just smiled and nodded, obviously not believing it, and suddenly asked, "I wonder if you can provide enough food and grass for our army?"
Li Dexin's expression stagnated, her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly said, "My Lord has prepared enough food and grass for the heavenly soldiers."
Shin Shixing made a very reasonable statement. I promised to send troops to support him, but you have to provide food, otherwise you will starve to death if you go there. But North Korea could not provide food at all, so he thought about fooling you first.
When Shen Shixing saw this guy, he didn't tell the truth. He felt no guilt at all, but he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "That's really great. We will send someone to your place to arrange it immediately."
Li Dexin asked, "What are you going to arrange?"
Shen Shixing said: "As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. We must mobilize the food and grass first before our army can enter North Korea to fight."
Li Dexin said shamelessly: "My Lord thought that three thousand heavenly soldiers were enough to destroy the Japanese pirates, so we prepared food and grass for the three thousand heavenly soldiers to use for seven days."
Three thousand soldiers, seven days of food and grass?
I am afraid that the food and grass will be cut off without seeing the enemy.
Fortunately, Shen Shixing was well-educated and did not swear words, but he still frowned and seemed very unhappy. Your cleverness is really touching.
Li Dexin knew that she could not hide it, so she hurriedly said, "Don't blame me, Master Zheng, we are not without food and grass, but the food and grass are all in Hanyang. If the heavenly soldiers can take Hanyang within seven days, there will be enough food and grass."
No wonder you were defeated so quickly. What should you do if you can’t take the war as a joke? Do you die together? Shen Shixing said: “You can’t fight like this. If there is no sufficient food and grass, how could our soldiers be willing to go there.”
After thinking about it, he said, "But don't worry, and give us two months to prepare food and grass."
Li Dexin heard this and tears began to roam in her eyes again, saying, "We can't wait for two months."
Shen Shixing sighed: "We have no choice but to do this. You did not inform us in advance. We were not prepared at all. Liaodong Town was disarmament on a large scale last year because of insufficient food supply. I believe you also know about this. Liaodong Town cannot provide enough food to support you. If the grain is distributed from the capital, it will take at least two months!"
Li Dexin jumped up and down in an anxious mood, "What should I do!"
Shen Shixing frowned, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "I heard that you are very familiar with Guo Dan?"
Li Dexin blinked and said, "I'm not very familiar with each other, I've just met you once."
When he came before, he said that he was a friend of Guo Dan. As a result, as soon as he mentioned Guo Dan, officials did not give him a good look, and even he was unwilling to accept him. He realized that Guo Dan was just a celebrity in front of the emperor, but he was an enemy of the entire court, and he could understand it very much. He was also from Confucianism and looked down on businessmen from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Shixing sighed and said, "It would be great if you had a good relationship with Guo Dan."
Li Dexin asked, "What do you say about the Chief Aunt?"
Shen Shixing whispered: "Don't say I'm talking about this to you."
Li Dexin nodded hurriedly.
Shen Shixing said: "As far as I know, Guo Dan has a lot of food in his hands. If you can buy food from him, you can solve your urgent problem."
Li Dexin was unhappy when she heard this. If you don’t go to get your businessman, you will ask me to buy it. The Sect Master is really unkind.
Shen Shixing seemed to have not paid attention to his expression and continued to say, "But don't let him know that he was asking me to go there, otherwise he would not sell it to you no matter how much money you get."
Li Dexin asked, "Why?"
Shen Shixing looked a little embarrassed and said, "Just remember it."
Li Dexin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Ming Dynasty officials and Guo Dan were mortal enemies, so it was impossible to say: "But we can't afford too much money for the moment, otherwise, the Heavenly Kingdom will lend us some money first."
Shen Shixing sighed bitterly: "The national treasury has allocated 500,000 taels of military pay yesterday to mobilize food and grass and purchase arms. You are really good. You don't even give us any preparation time. The Ministry of Revenue is now in a hurry and complaining, so how can you even allocate money?"
Li Dexin could only look at Shen Shixing with a grievance.
Shin Shixing caught this and blamed them, because Shin Shixing of course also guessed that you came to ask for advice only after North Korea was destroyed. You were not willing to go to the Ming army, so you have to be responsible for this.
Li Dexin has no way to argue!
I wrote a letter a day earlier, and the situation was better than it is now. But I had already reached the border and you came to ask for help. It is not a joke to send troops.
Shen Shixing thought for a while and said, "How about this, go to Guo Dan and try it out to see if he can borrow some food. He is a businessman, and their yakuza also often lends money. I also go to the Ministry of Revenue to urge him to see if he can speed up the collection of food and grass."
