He cursed Wang Yitong of North Korea angrily in his heart.
Yang Hao's mood improved slightly.
On the map, the Ming army's strength and defense map was marked. According to his plan, he only had more than a thousand soldiers under his command. They were in Nanshan, and not far away in Suiyuan were the admiral Ma Gui and his two thousand soldiers.
The so-called elite of the North Korean army totaled no more than 10,000 people, and their actual combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of a thousand Ming troops.
Moreover, if they were mixed in, not only would the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty not be able to receive any blessings, but they would also be distracted from taking care of them.
Because of this, neither Ma Gui nor Yang Hao dared to send this group of guys to the front line. The more people there are, the more evil they can do, so they can only be divided into two parts.
One part went to Choryeong, close to the Cheongju area, to guard the flanks of Seoul, and the other part guarded the waterways, that is, the pass Jinkou near Seoul and the upper reaches of the Han River.
To put it bluntly, it’s actually a strike——
They are prohibited from doing important things that are related to the overall situation, but they are worried that too many people will cause trouble, so they simply find random tasks to kill them.
For the main attack mission, the Ming army only believed in themselves.
Li Chao's group also proved with facts that they cannot hold up the wall with mud and are indeed unreliable.
besides.
On the entire map, there are still three armies that have not been mobilized near Seoul.
The first army was in Nanyuan.
To this day, Yang Hao has not been able to figure out how many people are left under Commander-in-Chief Lu Li, why they can defend for so long, and whether they can lead some soldiers to break out of the encirclement and participate in the next operations.
In addition, among those records that are either true or false, which ones are true and which ones are false?
Were the Shimazu and Konishi families completely wiped out?
Compared with Ma Gui, who was born in Datong and had a competitive relationship with the Liaodong Army, Yang Hao actually had a very good relationship with the Li family of Liaodong. Accordingly, he had no dealings with the Ma family army of the Xuan Da Department——
Admiral Li Rusong, who conquered the Japanese last time and won the victory, had a younger brother named Li Rumei. Yang Hao and he were brothers. They fought side by side in Liaodong. It was a fateful friendship!
Lu Li, who just replaced Yang Yuan, was the flag of the Liaodong Army.
Therefore, when he heard that the civil and military officials of the Li Dynasty and Admiral Ma Gui were determined to avoid the war and give in, Yang Hao immediately rode into Seoul alone, beat and warned Ma Gui with words, forcing him to urge the governor of the whole state, Chen Yuzhong, to come to support. .
Finally, Lu Li saw Duke and the thousand cavalrymen who had died on the battlefield.
The second army had just crossed the Yalu River.
Li Rumei and Zu Chengxun arrived, and the main force of the Liaodong Army entered the peninsula again.
The former was specially recommended by Yang Hao to the imperial court and appointed to come to North Korea. His purpose was for no other reason than to achieve more military exploits and get promoted to a higher rank!
To this, the court readily agreed.
And the third army is very special.
The southerners are mainly Zhejiang soldiers!
In the north of the Ming Dynasty, there was a dispute between the Liaodong Clan and the Xuanda Clan. Not to mention looking at the entire country, the struggle between the North and the South had been going on in various forms for thousands of years, and the army was no exception.
Frankly speaking, the Ming Dynasty has been resisting Japan and aiding Korea for many years. Li Chao Wenwu also has a certain understanding of the generals of the Ming army, large and small. If they are allowed to vote freely, they can choose the best generals in their minds.
Not Li Rusong.
Not Ma Gui.
Not Lu Li either.
But a man named Wu Weizhong.
Li Chao Wenwu liked this taciturn military commander from the south of the Ming Dynasty so much. He had outstanding abilities and was Qi Jiguang's direct disciple!
He and the soldiers under his command never put on a savior attitude, and they were not as arrogant as the Liaodong Army. This group of southern soldiers fought like tigers against the Japanese, but they were unbelievably good to their own people. .
If the military situation is not urgent, the Southern soldiers will take the initiative to help the refugees repair their houses during the march and share part of their own rations with the old, young, sick and disabled.
Therefore, when the Koreans heard that General Wu's team was passing by, they would definitely greet them from a distance, greet them along the way, offer their sincerity and praise their merits.
If any militiamen of the Li Dynasty had cooperated with the army from the south of the Ming Dynasty, no matter they won or lost, the local folks would regard them as heroes!
Logically speaking, the defense of Seoul should call upon this veteran who was good at fighting and experienced. In fact, he was stationed in Chungju, very close to Seoul.
But Yang Hao did not issue any transfer orders. On the one hand, the place Wu Weizhong was guarding was also very important and it was difficult to leave easily. On the other hand, there was the dispute between the north and the south...
In the Ming Dynasty, wherever there were people, there were party struggles.
The situation is very obvious. The defense of Seoul is a battlefield belonging to the northern soldiers. They are the main force and reject the southerners to the core.
What's more, Yang Hao's good brother Li Rumei is coming soon.
As a part of the Northerners, the Xuan Da Clan did not have much to deal with the Zhejiang Bings, but it was far inferior to the Liaodong Clique!
This relationship has been going on for a long time.
During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, the Koreans praised the South Korean soldiers, which made the then general Li Rusong uncomfortable. However, Wu Weizhong took advantage of him and acted obediently, often making secret accusations to the court.
What's the meaning?
A commander-in-chief actually sued his immediate superior? Slandering Liaodong soldiers for massacring civilians!
Then, the generals of the Southern Army used their influence among the people to spread a rumor:
The Liaodong people often secretly followed the lone civilians of the Li Dynasty. When they reached a no-man's land, they would raise their swords and click them with one knife, which would reveal a round, bloody head. They would shave the top hair into a bald head like the Japanese. Pretend to be a Japanese pirate to receive rewards.
The news reached the ears of the royal family of the Li Dynasty, and they were so frightened that they immediately cried to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, when the Liaodong cavalry fought against the Tatars, they did kill the naturalized foreigners they encountered along the way to claim military merit. When the local censor impeached a Liaodong general, no matter whether it was true or not, such a charge would definitely be added.
Yellow mud fell into his crotch.
As a result, things got big in an instant.
Yuan Huang, the general of the Southern Army, felt that the heat was on and went to Li Rusong in person: "Master, why did you do this?"
When Li Rusong heard this, he was instantly furious. When had he ever ordered such an obscene thing to be done!
A dignified general wants to take credit for his head, but he won't go to the battlefield to chop it off himself?
He immediately grabbed Yuan Huang's neck and roared like a tiger: "Damn old monk, where did you hear these words!"
It is worth mentioning that Yuan Huang is a layman who likes to hold Buddhist beads and recite a few verses of scriptures. He was a classmate of Song Yingchang, the then manager, and he was powerful and able to influence the government.
This southerner made it clear that he wanted to kill Li Rusong in the officialdom, and his methods were subtle and subtle.
But would Li Rusong be afraid?
His Li family was guarding the border, and many of his brothers Paoze died. There was no one in the court, and even the emperor wanted to win over him.
In the end, the North and the South reached a draw on the issue of "indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
Yuan Huang, the main leader of the Southern Party:
Later, Huang Xie heard about the mistake.
This means that Yuan Huang apologized to Li Rusong, stated that his source of information was wrong, and admitted that he had made a false accusation.
Here is Li Rusong:
The general from the north also kowtowed and apologized to Yun'er.
In other words, there was really a guy in the Liaodong Army who did this kind of trivial thing, but he was not even the Qian General, so how could he represent the Liaodong side? A typical mouse poop spoils the whole pot of porridge.
In this fight, Li Rusong proved to the southerners that the northerners from Liaodong had the final say over the entire Eastern Expedition. The southerners also proved to Li Rusong, the northerners should not be too arrogant. If there is someone in our court, we will kill you in another way.
The two sides were killing the Japanese and fighting in their nests.
And the northern soldiers were not always passive in making moves. For example, after the Battle of Pyongyang, Li Rusong rewarded his troops for their merits. In front of all the generals from the north and the south, he gave the top credit to his younger brother Li Rubai because the Nancheng he was responsible for attacking was the first to be breached.
The Confederate army was in an uproar!
In that battle, they suffered the heaviest casualties and their hard work was outstanding. General Luo Shangzhi was the first to climb the tower. This is a fact that is obvious to all.
But Li Rusong ignored him and placed great credit on Li Rubai.
What made the southerners most dissatisfied was that their two leaders, Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi, were seriously injured because they took the lead. They were paralyzed in bed recuperating from illness and could not argue with each other at all.
Li Rusong was indeed dishonest about this matter.
Hearing that the first prize had been given to Li Rubai of Liaodong, Wu Weizhong, who had just snatched his life back from the Lord of Hell, looked at the sky and remained silent.
When the envoy from Li Chao came over to visit and comfort him, he didn't say a word. He was so angry that he couldn't speak at all. He just handed over a note, which roughly means:
I guess I'm dying again. I hope you will buy me a thick cypress coffin for the sake of my bloody battle.
The envoy burst into tears and immediately sent people to Ranyuan Mountain in Dingzhou to find the best cypress trees.
Fortunately, Wu Weizhong survived again and continued to fight against the Japanese pirates with his soldiers.
After talking so much, my eyes once again returned to the current Nanshan Camp in Seoul.
Yang Hao, the manager, was very aware of the horror of the struggle between the North and the South. He separated them to kill the Japanese pirates, which was a sacrifice of life and death, but brought them together to fight against the Japanese...
Forget it, Wu Weizhong should just stick to his Zhongzhou.
the other side.
The Nanyuan garrison, a typical Northerner, other than General Li Rusong, Lu Li is the most qualified to lead the Liaodong Army. He doesn't care about the dispute between the North and the South. He is running for his life!
…
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I talked about the internal struggle of the Ming army, but it was very contained. After all, if this thing is not explained, the subsequent plot cannot be unfolded. I hope you can understand.
