Before the turmoil in the court, the composition and ranking of the cabinet were as follows: Shen Shixing, a bachelor of Zhongji Palace, Wu Dui, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, Wang Jiaping, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, Wang Xijue, a bachelor of Wuying Palace, and Wang Xijue, a bachelor of Wenyuange Palace. Liang Menglong, a scholar, and Gao Gao, a scholar from Dongge University, are pragmatic.
According to this ranking, after Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue resign and return home, Wu Dui will become the first assistant Zhongjidian bachelor, Wang Jiaping will become the second assistant Jianjidian bachelor, and Liang Menglong will be promoted from Wenyuange bachelor to Wenhuadian university Scholars, Gao pragmatic will also replace two to become the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian, and the remaining "Two Pavilions" Grand Scholars will be filled by the new cabinet ministers - of course, it is possible not to fill up, it depends on what the emperor thinks.
However, things took an unexpected turn. On the night of the second day after Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue resigned and were sent home, Wu Dui, who was most likely to take over as the first assistant, died of illness.
In fact, Wu Dui's death was not unexpected to a certain extent. His health had been in bad condition two years ago, and Gao pragmatically knew that in original history, he died of illness in 1596, which was the 24th day of Wanli. In 2001, the delay for three more years was probably due to his pragmatism in establishing the Department of Medicine of Jinghua Craftsman School.
The first assistant stepped down and the second assistant died of illness. Zhu Yijun, who was still hesitating and troubled at first, also felt that the situation was delicate. Early the next morning, an order was issued, and with lightning speed, he ordered: Wang Jiaping replaced the Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace as the first officer. Assistant, Liang Menglong was promoted to the Grand Bachelor of Jianji Hall and became the Second Assistant, and Gao Pragmatic was promoted to the Grand Bachelor of Wenhua Palace.
At the same time, Zhu Yijun asked the cabinet to coordinate and discuss with the Nine Ministers to prepare for the court meeting to add cabinet ministers. However, Zhu Yijun only said that he would add more cabinet ministers, but did not specify how many ministers he would add. Of course, in this case, the cabinet and the Nine Ministers will definitely propose additions based on the "full number", but this will only result in more "candidates" to be provided.
There needs to be more candidates to join the cabinet. What does this mean? This means that some ministers who were originally ranked low in terms of qualifications for joining the cabinet can now hope to win the title of "prime minister"!
Since the changes in the cabinet personnel have such a great impact, especially when the candidates are relatively tight, whether it is the Practical School, the Heart School or the Old Neo-Confucian School, which holds a neutral position most of the time, they must spare no effort to win - or win to join. cabinet, or fighting for the vacant seat left after someone else joins the cabinet.
However, the undercurrents in the direction of the imperial court need to be put aside for the time being. First, let’s talk about the impact of the crisis in Korea and the changes in the Ming Dynasty’s cabinet.
Since the defeat of the two fronts, the Korean army once again showed a collapse like that of the Imchen year under the attack of the Japanese army. All the officers, soldiers and rebels suddenly found that no matter how they put it together, they could not defeat the Japanese army on the left and right. Any way to form a force advantage.
Originally, their combat effectiveness was inferior to others, but now they cannot even form a local advantage in strength, so naturally this battle cannot be fought. All parts of Korea are in bleak condition, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Facing the ferocious Japanese army, they can only flee in panic. Or shivering. Naturally, the Japanese army also knew the situation in North Korea, so they formulated the next stage of their march plan accordingly.
In terms of the army, the Japanese troops stationed in the Zhushan area were preparing to attack Hanyang. The right army's Mouri Hidemoto convened a military meeting and first listened to Kuroda Nishui's plan.
Kuroda Rushui offered advice: "According to Mono Jianfan's diligent investigation for many days, Hanyang's military strength should be more than 30,000 to 40,000. However, although Hanyang's soldiers are not brave, they have the power of the big barrels (artillery) left by the Ming army. If we attack Hanyang by force, even if we win, we may win miserably and the losses may be considerable.
Therefore, I think that Ukita Hideie can lead the left route to bypass Hanyang, go straight to Ping'an Road, and march towards Kaesong and Pyongyang. In this way, North Korea would be worried that Hanyang would be isolated and become a turtle in a urn. The defenders of Hanyang would also be worried that their retreat would be cut off and reinforcements would be blocked, so they would send troops to intercept or simply abandon the city and flee.
No matter what the situation is, as soon as the Hanyang defenders leave the city, I will immediately attack Hanyang on the right and return to the left to meet the enemy. If the head and tail are not covered with mushrooms, Hanyang's army will be in panic, and it will be difficult to be careful both front and rear. In this way, Hanyang can be defeated.
Of course, we also have to prepare for the worst. For example, if the Hanyang defenders still can't hold on for some reason, then we can completely occupy Ping'an Road from the left, while we pretend to attack Hanyang from the right, implement a siege, and contain the army.
North Korea's military strength is insufficient. The siege of Hanyang's 30,000 to 40,000 troops is by no means an easy task for North Korea. Chaos will inevitably break out in the long run. By then, our army will be waiting for an opportunity to break through the city, which will be easy. "
As expected of Kuroda Rushui, this calculation was considered thorough from every aspect. As expected, everyone praised it.
As he was talking, it was suddenly reported that an order from Taige Toyotomi Hideyoshi had arrived, strictly ordering all Japanese troops to conquer North Korea as soon as possible in the next war and seize the time to attack North Korea. Any military decision-making must be based on this, and the implementation level must be After receiving the military order, there should be no delay. Violators will be punished in the most severe manner.
All the generals had a look of astonishment on their faces. Although there is a saying in the art of war that soldiers need speed, war is by no means a child's play. How can there be any reason to not care about everything and just pursue speed? His Highness Taige has been fighting for his whole life, how can he not understand these principles? Therefore, the Japanese generals were all confused as to why Toyotomi Hideyoshi would issue such an order.
As the general on the right, Hidemoto Mouri found it hard to understand this, but he knew that the Mouri family had a special status. On the one hand, they seemed to be highly trusted and trusted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but on the other hand, Toyotomi Hideyoshi secretly opposed Their various defenses and divisions, and of course the mixing of sand (such as Hideaki Kobayakawa of the Toyotomi bloodline who inherited the Kobayakawa family). In this way, no matter how confused Maori Xiuyuan was, he had no choice but to immediately declare that he would act in accordance with the order.
The general on the left, Ukita Hideie, also immediately expressed his compliance with the order, but his situation was different from that of Mouri Hidemoto. To put it simply, after his father Naoie Ukita died, his mother remarried Hideyoshi. In addition, he stayed with Hideyoshi as a hostage for many years in his early years, so he became Hideyoshi's adopted son.
Hideyoshi was also very kind to him, and even married his adopted daughter Gouji, whom he regarded as his own. At this point, Hideyoshi, who was Hideyoshi's adopted son and son-in-law, became a veritable Toyotomi clan. For a long time, his status in the Toyotomi family was second only to Hideyoshi himself, Hideyoshi's younger brother Dainagon Hideuchi, and Hideyoshi's nephew and adopted son Hideji.
Since the two generals did not dare to disobey, the Japanese army naturally followed the order immediately, and all preparations, deployments, and marches were suddenly accelerated. Although this may result in some work being incomplete, it in turn also put greater pressure on North Korea. , making them even more nervous, and various flaws also began to appear in their preparedness.
However, not everyone within the Japanese army had doubts. For example, after Kuroda Nagamasa asked his father Kuroda Nishui: "Father, why did His Highness Taikaku suddenly issue such an order? To say that His Highness Taikaku asked the frontline to continue fighting , it is not difficult to understand, and it is also His Highness Taige’s consistent style.
However, this kind of forceful request to fight as quickly as possible without asking the actual situation faced by the frontline generals is not like His Highness Taige's style. Is there any fraud in it? Father, you know His Highness Taige far better than all the kings who fought in the court. What do you think this is? "
Kuroda Rushui replied: "It has been confirmed that this is indeed an order issued by His Highness Taige. No one knows why His Highness Taige did this. I didn't know it at first, but now I understand somewhat.
After His Highness Hideji's death, I had an audience with His Highness Tai Kou. At that time, His Highness Tai Kou was already ill and seemed to be in poor mental condition. At that time, I advised His Highness Tai Kou to pay more attention to his recuperation.
Besides, there is a problem with the selection of candidates for this expedition. You see, all the members except Asano Nagamasa stayed with Taikaku and handled government affairs together with Maeda Toshiie; Fukushima Masanori, Zagoya Takenori, Katagiri Shimoto, Hirano Choyasu, Otani Yoshitsugi, Mori Terumoto, and Kobayakawa Longjing also stayed in the country, probably to prepare for the future.
Of course, now that His Highness Kobayakawa Takakage has passed away, His Highness Hideaki has inherited Kobayakawa's territory in North Korea. However, he obviously does not have enough prestige to serve as the fifth elder. Therefore, Echigo daimyo Uesugi Kagekatsu took over as the fifth elder. Then I guess, Kobayakawa Hideaki Either he will be secretly ordered to make more achievements in North Korea, or he should be ordered to return to his country and take charge.
In any case, I think His Highness Tai Ge's sudden order to accelerate the attack must be because his condition has worsened, or even... there may be something unexpected.
Taigu's greatest ambition in his later years was to conquer Korea and the Ming Dynasty, and become a true man of the world better than Lord Nobunaga. Therefore, until now, he would order the army to attack with all his strength while allowing reliable and powerful people to stay. At home, ensure that the heirs of the Toyotomi family can successfully inherit.
He did this, firstly, he still hoped that his achievements would surpass those of his predecessors, and secondly, he wanted to prevent someone from causing trouble to the world while his lord was still young. The biggest root problem of His Highness Taige... is that he doesn't know how to be content with what he has, and he always wants to have everything. Although it is good to have great ambitions, you must eventually be able to achieve it. Otherwise, you will be too ambitious, and I am afraid that it will be nothing more than a dream. "
After hearing this, Kuroda Nagamasa said with emotion: "What my father said is absolutely true. Indeed, compared to conquering North Korea and the Tang Dynasty, the future of the Toyotomi family is obviously the most important. His Highness Taikaku still insists on taking another gamble, which can be said to be a big gamble. If you don't change your nature, if things don't develop as expected, I'm afraid...
In fact, His Highness Taige should let the front line switch from offense to defense, stabilize the situation first, and wait until Taige himself turns the corner, and then give us instructions to re-attack.
Of course, considering that the Ming army may move south at any time, I am also worried that by then, even if we want to restart the attack, it will not be that easy. "
Kuroda Rushui nodded in agreement and said: "The reason why the Ming army was later willing to negotiate peace with our army during the Battle of Renchen was that they had just finished attacking Mongolia at that time and the number of troops they could mobilize was quite limited. When Li Rusong's headquarters suffered When losses are severe, they feel that it would be detrimental to them to continue fighting;
The second is that North Korea is dissatisfied with the command of the Ming army. Not only does it cooperate very passively, but it also always coerces the Ming army to do things they don't want to do. Anyone who fights in such a battle will feel aggrieved. Then Just don’t fight.
The Tang Dynasty was the suzerain of Korea, how could the Ming army be able to swallow this? But this in turn illustrates one thing: as long as the Ming army goes south again this time, it will definitely not act based on North Korea's face. Regardless of whether they choose to force North Korea to obey, the Ming army will definitely act according to their own ideas, and this brings us greater danger. "
Kuroda Yomizu is indeed Japan's strongest strategist since Takenaka Shigeharu at the end of the Warring States Period. His guesses about Japan and the Ming Dynasty were almost all correct!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was indeed seriously ill, and he indeed wanted to ensure the rule of the Toyotomi family, but at the same time he did not want to give up the "great situation" in Korea, and wanted to seize both.
As for the Ming army, it was indeed because Gao Pragmatic refused to let them be constrained by North Korea anymore, so they delayed their recent advance again and again, adopting a posture of watching the fire from the other side and doing nothing to save them, forcing North Korea to make concessions.
But Kuroda Rushui didn't expect Gao Pragmatic's appetite to be so big. Not only did he demand full power to command the war, he even wanted to force Li Huo to join in and directly bring North Korea under the rule of the Ming Dynasty!
However, even if all Gao's pragmatic plans are sound, there is an old saying that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. A huge thunder suddenly exploded within the imperial court. The sudden changes in the current situation forced Gao Pragmatic to make some fine-tuning. Fortunately, the previous arrangements were basically in place, and this fine-tuning should not seriously affect the overall situation.
So, on the third day when the Ming Dynasty cabinet exploded, the North Korean King Li Huo once again asked for help. In the letter asking for help, he publicly called himself a "filial son" of North Korea and asked the Ming Dynasty father to teach the Japanese "thieves" and "treasonous sons".
Although this letter of request for aid has not yet reached the level of "self-request" required by Gao Pragmatic, Gao Wuzhi cannot wait anymore. He must create some merits of the pragmatic school in the Korean battlefield to make the next cabinet additions more effective. Benefit oneself.
So on the same day, Song Yingchang and Ma Gui received a message from Gao Pragmatic at the same time. One hundred thousand Ming troops suddenly sent troops south without warning. On the same day, they all crossed the Yalu River and headed for Pyongyang. The entire army arrived a few days later. .
At this time, Pyongyang had more than 100,000 Ming troops, while the North Korean official army only had 12,000. Even a blind man could clearly see the situation where the guest was strong and the host was weak. But this time, Song Yingchang, the Ming Dynasty Ping Japanese Administrator, also changed his previous gentle and "reasonable" style and became particularly strong.
For example, when Song Yingchang first arrived in Pyongyang, he ordered North Korean gentry and common people to donate food as a group on the pretext of "strengthening Pyongyang's defense" and was promised a promotion and exemption from military service. He also strictly ordered that all details of North Korea's ordnance, grain and other strategic materials should be reported.
In this regard, the North Korean yangban, who were still unclear about how much the current situation had changed, strongly opposed it and came to the Jinglue Yamen one after another to accuse Song Yingchang of being good at making opinions. One additional sentence: the last time he came to North Korea, the residence was called "Jinglue Xingyuan", but this time it was different. He directly hung a plaque called "Jinglue Yamen" - Xingyuan and Yamen are very different.
Faced with the accusations from North Korea's two squads, Song Yingchang straightened his face and reprimanded him coldly: "How dare you! How dare you make such accusations against important ministers of our country! Our headquarters is entrusted with the imperial edict of the Emperor to manage North Korea's military affairs. All North Korea's troops, food and grass , The headquarters should naturally know everything about the baggage situation!
The defense of Korea is the duty of the manager, and the prince has given the headquarters arbitrary power to protect our country. However, you only care about protecting your private wealth and have no idea about the prosperity of the country. You are still here plausibly, pretending to be loyal, and being honest. Disgraceful!
Everyone leaves quickly and strictly abides by the laws of this headquarters. Otherwise, it will be regarded as an insult to the country and charged with obstructing military affairs. I will not hesitate to ask for the king's flag to execute you on the spot! "
As soon as this statement came out, the two groups were frightened. These people were all scholars in North Korea, and of course they could distinguish the changes in Song Yingchang's rhetoric. For example, this time Song Yingchang called the King of Joseon Li Huo as "Prince" instead of "King of Joseon", "King of Joseon", "King of Joseon". What does this mean? This is treating Li Hao's title of "King of North Korea" as a king in the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, Song Yingchang also said that Li Hao "has given the headquarters arbitrary power." Where did he start from? How come we didn't know about this?
After exiting the imperial office in fear and trepidation, North Korea's Yangban felt extremely angry, so they immediately turned to the palace noisily and complained to the King of North Korea, Li Huo. Li Hao did not expect that Song Yingchang would cause such a big fight on the first day he arrived in Pyongyang, so he had no choice but to convene a court meeting and invite Song Yingchang to attend.
Li He asked: "Song Jinglue, is it because the military rations are now insufficient that we need to donate food? Many people have come to criticize Jinglue, but I don't know the details. Please tell Song Jinglue the truth."
Song Yingchang said calmly: "Your Highness, the Honbu Hall is responsible for North Korea's military affairs as a peace and Japanese warlord according to the imperial edict of the Emperor. Naturally, it must bear full responsibility for the defense of North Korea. Because of this, the Honbu Hall must be responsible for all North Korea's ordnance, grain, grass, and other weapons. Only when the troops are at the fingertips can we coordinate and deploy them to defend against the enemy.
At present, the Ming Dynasty has sent 100,000 troops, but a large part of the North Korean official army has either collapsed or lost contact, and the remaining ones under control are only tens of thousands. The Japanese army originally stationed tens of thousands in Busan, but this time they mobilized 140,000 incoming invaders. Therefore, in terms of the strength of both sides, I am afraid that we are still outnumbered.
The Japanese pirates have a strong force and have occupied the Lower Three Roads. Our reinforcements have arrived in Pyongyang, but the military supplies and grain have not yet fully arrived. Therefore, it is difficult to rush to Hanyang to stop the enemy on the front line. We must prepare for a long-term war in Pyongyang. As a result, the current military rations are not enough to support it.
The Japanese pirates are now approaching Hanyang. Our Ministry of War (Da Ming Dynasty) Department has conducted detailed deductions and believes that it is currently impossible for North Korea to defend Hanyang. Therefore, the Ministry of War informed the headquarters that the current primary goal is to ensure that Pyongyang is safe. In order to ensure that Pyongyang is safe, it is necessary to have enough food to ensure the supply of the military and civilians. Therefore, no matter from any aspect, it is imperative to collect food donations. "
Jin Yingnan, Zuo Yizheng, asked: "Even so, why did the gentry and the common people donate grain together, but only the common people were promoted and exempted from military service? What's more, promotion and exemption are a big deal. If this is done, the court will inevitably be in chaos after the war.
In addition, the two groups of gentry have made many contributions to the court, and have sacrificed a lot to support the reform. They have all made their due contributions... Your Highness, I am afraid that it may cause trouble in the future. "After Jin Yingnan finished speaking, both classes agreed.
Song Yingchang gave Jin Yingnan a cold look and asked sternly: "The remarks of the left prime minister are really confusing right and wrong! As far as I know, the Korean gentry originally enjoyed privileges, and the food stored in the family was far beyond that of ordinary people's families, but now it has come Competing with the common people for promotion and exemption from military service is simply a joke.
Promotion and exemption from military service can rally the people's hearts and minds during a national crisis. If the people's hearts and minds are not dispersed, the family and country will not perish. All of you have read poetry and books, don’t you know the truth behind it? I think it’s not that I’m ignorant of the truth, but that I’m used to relying on power and being domineering, and I’ve long forgotten the admonitions of my Central Plains sages and your own ancestors! "
Yi Dooshou suddenly seconded Song Yingchang and said: "What the Jinglue said is reasonable. When the country is in crisis, we should gather all our strength to overcome it. Liangban, Confucian scholars, and the common people are the cornerstone of the country, and it is reasonable to donate food. As for the Promotion and exemption from military service are actually involved in the rewards of volunteers and the reform decrees made by the prime minister. I think as long as we persist, it will definitely have the effect of inspiring people's hearts."
Li Dexin immediately seconded the proposal and said: "Your Highness, I also agree with what Song Jinglue said. I also think that the amount of grain donation should be determined separately. For example, the grain storage of each family is different, which is very different from that of Liangban. We cannot conquer them all, otherwise there will be a hidden danger of forcing the people to rebel. I am willing to set an example and donate food to fight the national crisis together."
After all, Yi Dooshou is the leader of a party. As soon as he opened his mouth and Li Dexin agreed, more people immediately responded. For example, Li Yuanyi, who was in charge of political affairs on the right, also led some officials to jointly request orders from the King of Korea.
Li Huo thought for a moment, and as the person who least wanted to offend the Ming Dynasty, he quickly expressed his agreement.
Song Yingchang struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Highness, the Honbu Hall has a few questions that I would like to ask Your Highness: The Honbu Hall is responsible for North Korea's military affairs according to the emperor's imperial decree, so does North Korea also respect the emperor's will and act? Your Highness has promised that the Honbu Hall will have full authority to handle defense matters. Your Highness hereby Will all the ministers in North Korea obey him?"
Li Hao didn't dare to say no, so he immediately replied that of course.
Song Yingchang nodded slightly and continued: "Then I ask the North Korean side not to have any objections to the Honbutang's handling of North Korea's defense! In addition, after the Honbutang issued the above order, many officials violated it openly and secretly, and some even openly defied it.
These concealments, violations, false reports, and neglect not only caused great trouble to the Honbu Hall, but also put the safety of North Korea and our Ming army at risk for their own selfish interests... The Honbu Hall has drawn up an impeachment list, and everyone needs to be found guilty. If there is a legal solution, please ask His Highness to take a look! "
Song Yingchang's words really shocked the court, and he was obviously pressing forward step by step. Even Li Huo didn't know what to do.
Liu Chenglong, the leader of the political council, saw that Song Yingchang was too powerful and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him: "Is this move a little too impulsive? Some courtiers and officials may be ignorant of the reason, but after all, His Highness has given an order, so why go to war and talk about serious crimes?"
Song Yingchang looked solemn and said slowly: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. Pyongyang is the only one among the three capitals of North Korea that can be guaranteed at present. Its safety is of great importance, so I am doing my best. You must strictly follow the rules and regulations. Only with one heart can we defeat the Japanese pirates... In addition, with all due respect, there is no need for Your Highness to make the final decision on this matter. Our headquarters will report it to the Emperor and ask His Majesty for his judgment."
The whole place was silent, and the drop of a needle could be heard, but before Song Yingchang finished speaking, he continued: "I, Song Yingchang, am not a dictatorial person, and they are not guilty of beheading at the moment. This time they are just lightly punished. , but if he does it again...it would be a pity to kill him!
On the contrary, regardless of whether you have been guilty before, as long as you help the Honbu Hall to consolidate Pyongyang and resist Japanese pirates in the future, the Honbu Hall will also go to Shu to ask for your merits and rewards. Compared with what is lost now, what will be gained in the future will be ten times more? This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. In order to protect the safety of North Korea, I ask you to understand the benefits and help me. "
One hundred thousand troops are in Pyongyang. No matter how dissatisfied the North Korean two squads are, what can they do? Song Yingchang said that if he objected again, no one could predict the consequences, so Liu Chenglong no longer insisted on dissent.
Since no one dared to object again, King Li Huo of North Korea immediately issued an order, making it clear that all Song Yingchang's needs would be as ordered by the king. If there was any disobedience and slackness, military law would be enforced. Others were not allowed to intercede, otherwise they would be guilty of the same crime as the offender. The North Korean ministers did not dare to say anything more, and could only express their acceptance of the order with trepidation.
After leaving the palace, Liu Chenglong held Song Yingchang alone and said with emotion: "I am so... gratified that Song Jinglue acted so vigorously and resolutely. I admire Jingtai for working so hard for North Korea. To be honest, I have been worried before. Pyongyang's safety is in danger, and we are afraid that another accident will destabilize the country.
If what I just said through Taiwan can be put into practice, I think it will definitely inspire the North Korean military and people. It's just that Jingtai uses the emperor to exert pressure from time to time, and the king and the two squads will inevitably feel resentful. I would like to ask Jingtai if you can..."
Song Yingchang raised his hand to indicate that Liu Chenglong did not need to say anything further: "I already know the Prime Minister's intention. Thank you very much for reminding me. Next, I would like to ask the Prime Minister for your full assistance in strengthening North Korea's defense and raising food and troops." Details Please also ask the prime minister to go to the Yamen to discuss the plan." Upon seeing this, Liu Chenglong had no choice but to obey the order.
At this point, under Song Yingchang's planning, Pyongyang people and gentry donated food one after another. Officials headed by Liu Chenglong drew up the details of the food donation to ensure that no common people would be exploited in the food donation.
Song Yingchang mobilized the army and civilians to build five lines of defense outside Pyongyang, placed refugees in the army and recruited them into the army. They conducted strict training and strengthened the defense. Anyone who made mistakes was investigated and punished on the spot. Liu Chenglong also ordered his subordinates to conduct inspections three times a day to cooperate with Song Yingchang in supervising defense and raising food and training troops. As a result, the people's sentiments stabilized and they were no longer as panicked as before.
Although North Korea's two squads were reluctant, the current situation was that the Ming Army's 100,000 heavenly troops "defended Pyongyang." On the one hand, they were frightened by Song Yingchang's excessive power, and on the other hand, they expected Song Yingchang to fulfill his promise, so they had to give up their illusions and obey orders.
With the cooperation of Song Yingchang and Liu Chenglong, people in Pyongyang were stabilized and defense improved greatly, which can be regarded as eliminating worries for Ma Gui's further military operations.
Of course, in real terms, Song Yingchang's actions were a plan to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he really laid a solid foundation for the next military operation, and on the other hand, he cooperated with the high-pragmatic plan. In this cooperation, he also re-established his character as a human being. set up.
Gao Wuzhi now needs Song Yingchang's new personality, because after the next adjustment of the cabinet, the Ministry of War will also be adjusted. Gao Wuzhi plans to let Zhou Yong join the cabinet as a "hands-up elder", while Song Yingchang needs to return to the court to take over. Minister of the Ministry of War.
Suppressing the Korean and Manchu dynasties, obtaining full power for the Ming Dynasty, and even completely controlling the Korean court - with this credit, it would be much easier for Gao Pragmatic to send Song Yingchang to the Minister of War.

PS: Feng Guang is responsible for helping his son, who is in the second grade of elementary school, with online class-related matters at home, and supervising his homework. Yesterday, he didn’t have time to code. In the evening, the Internet was disconnected for no apparent reason until around 10 o'clock. At that time, I was already squinting because I had nothing to do. I didn't wake up until around 11 o'clock. I thought that I had reported in advance that it might not be stable this week, so I simply took a rest.
When I woke up this morning, I received a text message saying that the network in my community has been upgraded and there is no need to come for maintenance or anything. I don’t know what the situation is. Maybe the network provider takes this opportunity to work faster.
7K today, which makes up most of yesterday's debt. In addition to the 1K I owed before, I currently owe a total of 2K. But starting from tomorrow, I will be the only one at home taking my children to online classes for three consecutive days. I doubt whether I can make it on time and stably. Update, there may be accidents... This is really a "force majeure" for me, so I can only ask readers to bear with me. After the lockdown is lifted, any outstanding debts will be paid day by day and we will apologize.
