Governor Xing Jie was in a complicated mood for Huang Laifu as the admiral, but he was one of the few civil officials who could take the overall situation into consideration. In addition to sending his confidant family to congratulate Huang Laifu immediately, he also came to Qingzhou to discuss military strategies with Huang Laifu and prepare for a new offensive.

Both of them believed that there were two important reasons for the Ulsan dangerous situation a few days ago. One was the shortage of troops, and the other was that the Japanese army transported reinforcements through water, so they should vigorously strengthen the naval forces between the Ming and North Korea and implement sea and land attacks.

Therefore, after discussing with Huang Laifu, Xing Jie reported to him: "The Japanese army occupied the South China Sea of ​​North Korea, eight or nine hundred miles east and west. I and others raised troops to fight. If their strength could not be supported, I would lead the navy into the mainland. Therefore, if I want to annihilate the Japanese army, I must first pay attention to defense. Now the general Zhou Yude commanded the navy, and if the Japanese army moved into the mainland, it would be suppressed. If the Japanese army continued to occupy North Korea, I should listen to the call of Chen and others, thinking it would be a joint attack. Shandong general Li Chengxun should lead the navy to station Changshan Island to guard the gateway of Denglai and prepare for the support of Lushun. The general of Baoding will temporarily move to Tianjin to consolidate the mainland!"

Emperor Wanli was handed over to the Ministry of War forum.

In the months after March 26, the 26th year of Wanli, Huang Laifu and Xing Jie were busy dispatching troops and deploying troops. At this time, the continuous logistics supply was also transported to the mainland of North Korea through the Tianjin Road Floating Sea.

Not only are there all kinds of food and supplies, but also countless weapons. The types of destroying cannons, three-eyed guns, etc., have more than 1,000 pcs, and more than 10,000 poles, not to mention other weapons and equipment. The huge national strength of the Ming Dynasty is far inferior to Japan. From this point of view, they are also destined to be defeated.

In addition, there are flintlock rifles used in the Shanxi Army. After Ma Gui and others reported it, they also attracted great attention in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Wanli and the Ministry of War were inquired by themselves. Soon, the Ministry of Works asked the Shanxi Army for samples and asked the craftsmen to imitate hundreds of rods. However, in terms of firing rate, ignition rate, and the number of times the barrels were used, they were far from comparable to the flintlock rifles used in the Shanxi Army. There were also some old problems, such as the flintlock rifles used in the Ming Army now, who liked to explode the chamber...

On the first day of May, Qingzhou.

The weather has slowly heated up, and Gyeongju has long become a large military camp. Due to confrontation with each other, there was no new war for a while. Therefore, Huang Laifu, Ma Gui and others returned to Gyeongju, leaving only a portion of the troops to guard Ulsan and the Isanshan Wo City.

During these times, Huang Lai Fu has been busy in the Gyeongju Admiral's Office. Now he is the admiral and the prime minister's military affairs are all in charge, and he has to take charge of it. It can be said that he is extremely busy. Only when he goes inside and outside the city to inspect and see the North Korean women's breast-exposed clothing can he relax.

On the afternoon of that day, Huang Laifu smiled. Because he had a letter from home, the letter was written in Gu Yunniang's tone, but the font was beautiful and beautiful, so he must have been Qu Xiuhe's ghostwriter.

In the letter, he first congratulated Huang Laifu on being promoted to the position of admiral. His whole family, including Wuzhai Fort, was Mo Yurong. He also told some gossip at home. He said that Huang Dalang and others had already entered Wuzhai Academy and studied. His brother-in-law Huang Lingbin is also much more sensible now. He learned to deal with all the big and small things in Wuzhai Fort, which reduced their work burden a lot... In short, Huang Laifu was able to kill the enemy outside with peace of mind and not worry about anything.

"I miss you every day, and I hope you will return triumphantly soon... my wife Gu Yunniang's pen."

Huang Laifu smiled slightly, carefully put the letter away, and looked out through the bamboo curtain. The sun was shining outside, which made him feel much happier.

At this time, footsteps sounded, "That person" walked in quietly and reported to Huang Laifu: "Sir, I have confirmed that Yang Hao encountered a rock on his way back, and the horse was frightened and fell into the valley. Yang Hao was sure to die!"

Huang Laifu nodded, "That person" said again: "In the end of April, General Li Rusong, the general of Liaodong, encountered most of the Tuman tribes when he was out of the frontier with a light cavalry. General Li was killed by the enemy. The news has been confirmed!"

Huang Laifu closed his eyes and sighed long. Since he was appointed as the admiral, he had sent people to Liao several times and told Li Rusong to be careful of the Tuman tribe, but he still could not escape the fate of history. It was a pity that such a brave general died like this. Thinking of his friendship with Li Rusong, he couldn't help but be infatuated.

Finally, "that person" whispered another thing, and finally he knelt on the ground and said, "...The mission failed, this is the dereliction of duty of his subordinates. Please punish him..."

Huang Laifu didn't blame him, but just thought about it for a long time, and finally muttered something. "That person" quietly retreated.

...

On April 26, the 26th year of Wanli, the local barbarians invaded Liaodong. The general of Liaodong Li Rusong led 5,000 light cavalry to go out to attack his nest. On the way, Fu Li Zhan died. At that time, he was fifty. After Li Rusong's death, the court was shocked. Emperor Wanli was even more sad and posthumously awarded Li Rusong as Shaobao, Ning Yuanbo, and posthumously posthumously Zhonglie, building a temple in Guangning Prefecture, and enjoying incense.

In addition, another major event happened in Liaodong. At that time, the governor of Jianzhou Guards, General Longhu, Nurhaci, was assassinated by unknown people and almost died. Judging from the clothing and armor left at the scene, Nurhaci suspected that it was done by the Mongols or the Jurchens in Haixi.

The governor of Yiwei was assassinated, which was a major event. In addition, Nurhaci not only did not send soldiers to invade the border, but also often sent Han people and livestock that his subordinates plundered without authorization to the Ming Dynasty. He also went to Beijing to pay tribute many times. Therefore, Daming now had a good impression of Nurhaci. In the 17th year of Wanli, he was promoted to the governor, and in the 23rd year he was named General Longhu. He also established Mashi in Fushun, Kaiyuan, Qinghe and other places to trade with Jianzhou Wei, which gave Nurhaci great benefits, known in history as the Manchu people and the Yin Kingdom.

After Nurhaci was assassinated, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty sent officials to bring gifts to comfort him.

...

After the news of Li Rusong's death reached North Korea, the Korean King Li Bing and the governor of Pingwu Xing Jie were both mourning. Huang Laifu personally set up an altar to worship him. Gao Ce, Zu Chengxun, Cha Dashou, and Wu Weizhong and others were also shocked and set up spiritual thrones for the former commander in their own military camps.

When his elder brother died, Li Rumei cried bitterly and returned to Liaodong to attend the funeral. At the same time, he received the order of Emperor Wanli and succeeded to the position of general of Liaodong. His position in North Korea was led by Dong Yiyuan.

As time entered June, after consulting with Admiral Huang Laifu and Governor Xing Jie, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty came continuously. On June 12, Liu Zhen, a powerful general known as "Liu Dadao", led 20,000 southwest troops and arrived in Qingzhou to pay homage to Governor Xing Jie and Governor Huang Laifu.

Liu Jing was from Hongdu, Jiangxi Province. His courtesy name was Zishen. He was famous for his bravery. He used a large iron sword, weighing 120 kilograms, and was rotating like flying on the battlefield, so he was named Liu Dadao.

In addition to his personal martial arts, Liu Jing also had a personal military chariot battalion with a total of more than 5,000 people, mainly Sichuan people. The chariot battalion was equipped with infantry, cavalry, musketeers, and hundreds of combat chariots.

During combat, the cavalry first, infantry and muskets drove carts. When the enemy appeared, they formed a circle formation with chariots. The muskets used this as a barrier to launch fire on the enemy. After the enemy's spirit was exhausted, they rushed out of the chariot formation, defeated the enemy camp, and finally the infantry attacked and chased and annihilated the enemy. It can be said that they were both offensive and defensive. With this army, Liu Jing won countless military achievements.

With such an army, Huang Laifu can be said to be like a tiger. However, what makes Huang Laifu a headache is that ordinary brave people are more rebellious by nature. For Liu Jing, a little baby in his twenties who is his immediate boss will naturally make him dissatisfied. Although Huang Laifu's martial arts are preached in the army, he is expected to take the position of admiral this time, but Liu Jing has never seen it, so he naturally disagreed.

Moreover, Liu Jing's 20,000 troops had a complex structure, not only Han soldiers, but also chieftain soldiers from all over the southwest. These people had extremely poor military disciplines, and they were in trouble wherever they passed. Moreover, as long as Liu Jing could win a battle, he always turned a blind eye to these things. This is also the main reason why Liu Jing made many military achievements but was repeatedly impeached. However, because his army was very capable of fighting, although he was repeatedly impeached, he was repeatedly impeached by the court again and again.

As expected, after Liu Jin's troops arrived in Gyeongju, the local troubles of disturbing the people also rose rapidly. It was a trivial matter to be stolen and eaten by chickens, ducks, pigs, and the local girls and wives of North Korea were often harassed. The more deadly women in southern North Korea have a tradition of exposing breasts. Women from fifteen to eighty-five years old are exposed on their breasts. How can they prevent the strong men in the army from bleeding noses?

North Korean Marshal Quan Li came to cry to Huang Laifu all day long, saying how many North Korean women were sexually harassed by heavenly soldiers every day, and how many chickens and ducks were stolen every day. Huang Laifu ordered strict military discipline, which made Liu Yu dissatisfied.

On July 16, the governor of the Guangdong Navy, Chen Lin, led 5,000 Guangdong Navy, 3,000 Jinliao Navy, 270 warships, and 500 warships. He arrived in North Korea. The deputy general Deng Zilong led 5,000 Jiangsu and Zhejiang infantrymen.

Chen Lin's courtesy name was Chaojue, and he was from Wengyuan, Guangdong. He was a person who made Huang Laifu even more trouble. Speaking of which, Chen Lin was very old and was a commander in the late Jiajing period. However, after a few decades, it was not until the Wanli period that he finally became the general.

The main reason is that he only speaks Cantonese and does not speak official language. The officials in Beijing do not understand it, so naturally they lose many advantages. Fortunately, Chen Lin’s biggest problem is greed. Whenever he goes, he indulges his subordinates to loot the people’s wealth. No matter where he goes, he is the same word - greed. In his early years, he was dismissed from office because of enslaving his soldiers, so he was refrigerated for many years.

However, Chen Lin was indeed good at fighting. He was good at generals and was good at generals. This Korean battle required land and water, so Governor Xing Jie thought of this person, and Chen Lin was used. As a result, after Chen Lin arrived in North Korea, he caused a lot of trouble.

Everyone who has been with Chen Lin knows that his temperament is violent and fierce, so everyone stays away from it, and even Liu Jing warns to be careful of this person. Sure enough, in order to welcome the arrival of the Celestial Navy, North Korea King Lee Kyung personally went out of Seoul to work in the army. Chen Lin beat a North Korean official to the face of many monarchs and ministers in front of many North Korean ministers. Korean Minister Liu Chenglong persuaded Fang to stop.

Moreover, after Chen Lin arrived in Qingzhou, he saw that Huang Laifu, who was in his twenties, was actually a young man in his twenties. He was immediately dissatisfied with Liu Jing, who was on the left and right, and was slanderous to Huang Laifu.

However, Huang Laifu had other plans for Chen Lin. He calmly sent Chen Lin to the island of Gujin, where there was a Korean navy led by Li Shunchen. The Ming Dynasty reinforcements continued to enter North Korea, and the North Korean country also built a large fleet, and finally built more than 100 new warships, waiting for the Ming Dynasty's final counterattack order.

Chen Lin led his army to the ancient and modern islands, and the Korean naval army was led by him. Many people were worried about whether he would be in harmony with Lee Sun-sen. However, at this time, Lee Sun-sen, a famous Korean general, showed his other side. As soon as Chen Lin arrived, Lee Sun-sen served a banquet to greet him, and even more vigorously praised his achievements, which made Chen Lin so happy that he couldn't stop and the guests and hosts were all happy. After that, the Ming Navy got along well with the Korean Navy. After Huang Laifu received the report, he also felt that Lee Sun-sen was really a personal expert and worth learning from himself.

Of course, not all the generals who came to help were as arrogant as Chen Lin and Liu Jing. The veteran Deng Zilong, who came with Chen Lin, was a very loyal and honest man. At that time, he was over 70 years old, but he was still the deputy general. However, after receiving the order from the court, he set out without hesitation and obeyed Chen Lin's command.

After arriving in North Korea, when he saw Admiral Huang Lai Fu, he was respectful and gave a full tribute when he met. Huang Lai Fu knew the fate of this veteran. He hoped that he could change him and finally let him return with honor and enjoy his old age.

In the past August, the Ming army gathered in North Korea had reached more than 80,000, and North Korea also tried its best to assemble an army of more than 20,000, including more than 7,000 Korean navy troops and more than 200 warships led by Lee Sun-sen.

The total strength of the Ming Dynasty reached more than 100,000 people, and the opportunity for the final decisive battle had come.
