As a small Chinese, Li Chaoren is not bad at talking and is very good at debating false accusations.
It didn't take long.
A letter of credence from the Li Dynasty was submitted directly to Emperor Wanli, stating bluntly: Yang Hao is an unparalleled talent. With his arrival on the peninsula, the entire war situation changed. Everyone admired and respected him.
Although the Battle of Ulsan ended in failure, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. It was just a small defeat, and it was nothing at all. Moreover, the killing of Kato Kiyomasa, a famous Japanese figure...
In short, do not replace Yang Hao. He is capable and loyal. Once he leaves the front line, it will inevitably cause panic in the army and make it difficult to launch a general offensive.
At the same time, the Censor of the Supervisory Army also decided to come out and say a few words of justice. It was true that the defeat was true, but there was absolutely no collusion with the Japanese. He was just deceiving them.
After many efforts, the emperor's attitude changed, and the question of whether Yang Hao would stay or go became subtle.
Ding Yingtai saw that his plan was disrupted and became angry. He happened to return to the peninsula for inspection and immediately used his villain's expertise:
Snare charges.
This old dog is also an unparalleled treacherous official, more powerful than Lai Junchen and others in the Wu Zhou Dynasty. He said in the memorial: I used cloth in Dingzhou to exchange a book with the people of the Li Dynasty, called "East China Sea", the author is Shen Shuzhou, It records a large number of secrets that happened in the 20th year of Wanli.
It was mentioned that the Li Dynasty secretly summoned the Japanese pirates before the war and agreed that the two countries would send troops together to seize the old land of Goryeo in Liaodong.
Moreover, Li Dynasty officials secretly traded with Japan many times during the war, transporting various grains and weapons to Kyushu Island ship after ship.
There are various lies one after another, and they also claim that in this book, every time the Japanese era name is mentioned, it will be deliberately enlarged several times. As soon as the next year is written, it will become as small as a tadpole. There is definitely an ulterior motive.
It is rare for an old dog to be so heartbroken and crazy. When King Li Huan of Joseon heard the news, he was scared and angry. He was worried that he would be involved in trying to rescue Yang Hao.
There was no need for the Li Dynasty to send an envoy to the capital to express determination and loyalty. Emperor Wanli was not a fool. Knowing that Ding Yingtai was biting people, he immediately issued an order to appease the Li Dynasty king:
Your country will always be loyal and obedient, and there is no need to be confused by what others say.
Then came the reassurance.
The last of the army has been assembled and things will get better soon.
Seeing that the false accusation failed, Ding Yingtai continued to make accusations, but before she could issue them, she was killed by a demon because she strayed into the mountains.
The Ming Dynasty demanded a thorough investigation and hunt down the demon.
However, a calamity star died. Whether it was the Li Dynasty or the Ming army stationed in the DPRK, it was too late to be happy and they didn't bother to investigate.
As it dragged on, no one paid much attention to this matter. After all, it was just a tribute painting in front of the army and had nothing to do with the overall situation of the peninsula.
Only the actors vaguely guessed that this was most likely the work of Lu Li, who sent out his demon to kill a buzzing fly.
After all, Ding Yingtai was protected by the luck of the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary monsters could not kill him. As for the opponent walking in the countryside, the probability of running into an unparalleled monster was almost negligible. It was impossible for anyone to be so unlucky, especially at this juncture.
In this way, Lu Li, who had been training for more than three months and only met a few people occasionally, finally left the camp and met everyone.
Many cosplayers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was not in good condition. If the other party continued to kill, everyone would be hit beyond measure.
From the withdrawal of troops during the Spring Festival to now, and for the next three months, the Ming army has not attacked. It first engaged in verbal warfare to save Yang Hao, the strategic envoy, and later accumulated strength.
Halfway through, a big thing happened.
Li Rusong is dead.
Since the Japanese rebellion in Imjin was temporarily quelled through negotiation, there have been voices in the court accusing him of collaborating with the Japanese and treason, and Li Rusong also kept a low profile as an official.
In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, Dong Yiyuan, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, resigned. Countless eyes were fixed on this fat man. Various memorials floated into the cabinet like snowflakes, and the generals and the forces behind them took action one after another.
However, the emperor didn't even look at it and directly clicked on Li Rusong. This made many people unwilling to accept it and continued to increase their efforts to discredit Li Rusong. However, Wanli ignored him at all and showed his love for him.
Under such circumstances, Li Rusong was naturally grateful and devoted himself to serving the country.
In April of the 26th year of Wanli, when the situation on the peninsula was at a standstill, barbarians invaded the border, and Li Rusong personally led his troops to encircle and suppress them.
He still had his old temper, charging forward with his light cavalry, and was eventually ambushed and killed. He was only fifty years old.
When the news reached Seoul, Li He sighed sadly. Although the two had not been happy with each other before, the other party's great achievements in regaining the three capitals for Li Dynasty could not be slandered.
As a result, the king sent a special envoy to Liaodong to express condolences and established a sacrificial ranking in Seoul.
At the same time, Li Rusong's death affected the Liaodong Army.
When Zu Chengxun heard that the old officer had been killed in battle, he was deeply saddened. He immediately said that he wanted to return to Liaodong and was lucky enough to pass. Yang Hao, who was not dismissed, immediately refused because the general offensive was about to begin.
Lu Li, the actor, didn't have any big reaction. He just wrote a letter to express his condolences and lamented that it was a pity.
Li Rusong's younger brother Li Rumei reacted the most.
Before Ding Laogou died, in addition to attacking Yang Hao and Ge Lao, the one who scolded Li Rumei the most was Li Rumei. He scolded her no matter how unpleasant or disgusting it was. People who didn't know it thought Li Rumei had insulted his mother.
But Wanli chose not to move Li Rumei.
First of all, Li Rusong just died in battle.
Secondly, Emperor Wanli admired Li Rumei very much and even wanted to promote him to the rank of chief military officer in the Japanese war.
This move was strongly opposed by the ministers. After all, the special envoy had verified that Li Rumei had really allowed his soldiers to rob foreign people some time ago. If he was not punished, it would be a great gift from heaven and he would never be promoted.
But there is a clever trick: tear down the house and open the windows.
The room is too dark. Someone suggested that a skylight be opened here, but everyone would definitely not allow it. But if you advocated removing the roof, they would mediate and be willing to open the window.
Since the ministers objected to Li Rumei's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Wanli asked him to succeed Li Rusong as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and add another burden -
Be prepared for the Japanese commander-in-chief.
The function is simple and straightforward. While serving as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he is to guard against the incoming Japanese pirates. Now that the Japanese are gathering on the peninsula, they can only come from this direction. The authority is very heavy, and it is purely a promotion.
In this way, Li Rusong can rest in peace under Jiuquan. The emperor treats their Li family well.
As the long period of calm passed, the war was about to break out. Lu Li was still not fully recovered, and could not use 60% of his 100% strength.
the other side.
Hideyoshi ushered in the Kwantung Allied Forces, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, equipped with water and land. However, he suffered from a serious illness and was already visibly broken. If he was not supported by force, he would need help to walk.
For a long time, his dreams were not occupied by iron horses and guns, but by the cherry blossoms at Daigoji Temple.
The cherry blossoms in my hometown, again...
