"What you mean is that the Liaodong army cannot be allowed to enter North Korea, but should Zhejiang soldiers be recruited into North Korea? Are there so many bird guns in the Japanese who are enough to be equipped?"

Zhu Yijun knew very well which infantrymen in the Ming Dynasty had strong combat power, but he did not know much about the Japanese regular army. In fact, before the war, the Ming army never had a deep understanding of Japanese iron cannons.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates are not Japanese regular troops. After all, they are still pirates. However, the equipment of the regular troops is not as good as that of pirates. I think it is necessary to be cautious. In this battle, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army can only be supplemented, not the main one. The cavalry is not suitable for fighting in Korea. If you want to fight against the Japanese army with skilled firearms, the southern gunners who are equally skilled firearms and the firearm battalions trained in Ningxia should be supplemented with infantry, swords, shields, and spearmen.

And there is another point: if the war is delayed for a long time, there may be deserters. Most of the Liaodong army are Liaodong people. Once they are afraid of war, they will be tired of war and cross the Yalu River and will be their hometown. The Ningxia soldiers and southern gunners are far away from home and will not escape. Therefore, if they want to fight in Korea, this battle should be dominated by the northwest and southern soldiers, and the Liaodong soldiers can only be supplemented.

What's more, I heard that Liaodong generals are used to taking fortune tellers before going to war. They first divine good and bad luck before fighting, and then fight again. And to be honest, I have heard of the rumors of the "brave" of the Liaodong Army in Ningxia. I am afraid that the Koreans also know these rumors.

It is inappropriate to use the Liaodong Army as the main force, and it is inappropriate to express my courage to suggest that if this battle is opened, the Liaodong Army will not be the main force, so that the Liaodong cavalry can preserve its strength and shock Mongolia and Jiannu. I recommend that my firearms camp and Zhejiang gunners and bird gunners under my command, and Shandong gunners are the main force."

Zhu Yijun looked at the map of North Korea, nodded slightly, and agreed with Xiao Ruxun's opinion. He seemed to be considering the pros and cons of all this. After thinking for a long time, he said: "The battle between North Korea and Japan is not about our Ming Dynasty. What if the court officials used this as a reason to oppose my troops to fight with him? The survival of North Korea has nothing to do with our Central Plains!"

"Your Majesty, I think that if a person invades North Korea with a country-popular army, protecting North Korea means protecting China. If North Korea does not protect, Liaodong will be worried. If Liaodong does not protect, the world will be worried!"

Zhu Yijun finally moved at this point, straightened up and his eyes shone.

"You continue."

"Your Majesty, I think there are two most important things in the current season. One is to recruit elite troops from all over the country to rush to Liaodong to prepare for war. The other is to send people into the North Korean army to invade Korea, divide the troops into several groups, trap the city and the current battle situation, and then our army can move, otherwise, we must not move lightly!

Today's Japanese army is not Japanese pirates, but Japanese regular army. It is still different from Japanese pirates. The military strategy says that you know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. If you don't know the details of the enemy, and you don't even know how much Japanese people will send troops, how should I send troops in the Ming Dynasty? It is not the best way to send troops rashly."

Listening to Xiao Ruxun’s advice, Zhu Yijun kept nodding and said, “Xiao Ruxun, if I want you to fight this battle, how would you fight?”

Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I know nothing about the situation of the Korean war and really don't know how to fight."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "If you responded and talked loudly, I would not give you the important task. I have said before that if you know what I want you to do, there are other rewards besides the rewards from Ningxia. Now, I will give you other rewards, Zhang Cheng."

"promise."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and a little eunuch handed a letter to Xiao Ruxun. When Xiao Ruxun took it, he was shocked. The letter was reported to the commander of the Jinyiwei in the tone of a secret spy. It stated the time and place of the Japanese army landed, and the time and place of the Japanese army taking down the Korean King, as well as the general location of a Japanese army that is known at present. The signature date is May 13th.

Xiao Ruxun immediately looked at the map, and looked at the location of Seoul, Korea, where the Japanese army landed. He landed on April 12th, and the war officially started on April 13th. Nineteen days later, on May 2nd, part of the Japanese army captured the capital of the Korean king.

Governor Xiaoxi forced the King of Korea to shake his legs and ran away. The current situation is anxious. The secret spies speculated that the King of Korea would run towards Pyongyang and eventually arrive in Yizhou in the border area, provided that North Korea cannot stop the Japanese army's advance.

Although I had known that North Korea was defeated very quickly in the early stages, I didn’t expect it to be so fast. From Busan to Seoul, they actually asked the Japanese to capture the capital in 19 days!

Xiao Ruxun still remembers that the one who captured the capital of North Korea was Governor Konishi, a diplomat who was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This guy was from a drug dealer and was quite familiar with North Korea, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked Governor Konishi to be the first vanguard army to attack North Korea.

However, there will be parties in every country, and there will be hills in each army. Governor Konishi is a despised businessman. There are naturally opposition parties under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's command. The one who invaded the Japanese army and Governor Konishi's most wrong way was Kato Kiyoshi Kato.

These two men commanded the First Army and the Second Army respectively, and landed in North Korea one after another. In order to compete for the first time, the two men set off their speed of life and death, desperately rushing to the road, fearing that they would be humiliated after falling behind each other.

They were happy, and the Koreans cried.

The capital was lost for nineteen days after the war started. This record was only compared when Germany blitzed into small European countries during World War II.

It seems that the winner is Governor Konishi. He captured the capital of the Joseon King. The winner of this competition of life and death was Governor Konishi. Kato Kiyoshi was angry and one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Finally, he decisively led his troops to Hamkyung Road in northeastern Korea. Governor Konishi pursued the Joseon King to the northwest corner, and was the first to meet the Ming army in the future.

In a short period of time, they made a very outstanding war example in the history of war, but it was precisely because of this "blitzkrieg war" that laid the groundwork for their complete defeat in the future.

So based on this precious information, Xiao Ruxun drew several lines on this complete picture of North Korea.

This is a habit he developed before every battle in his previous life. He slowly infers the enemy's goals and possible tactics according to the enemy's advance route, and then makes corresponding strategies, and never rashly sends troops to meet the enemy.

The first line and the marching route of Konishi, all the way to Seoul, and the second line is Kato Kiyomasa's marching route, all the way to Seoul, and the current intelligence can only end here.

In the following information, the spies only gave two troops one to the northwest and the other to the northeast. Without specific information, there would be no more information. The spies could not find out the actual number of these two armies. They just inferred that the number of people would not be too large, otherwise they would not be able to race and maintain order.

Xiao Ruxun knew very well that this became one of the main causes of the Ming army's defeat in Korea, which was underestimated by the enemy! The second reason was insufficient intelligence and the incorrectness of the North Koreans who were responsible for serving as guides.

No matter how stupid or incompetent the Koreans were, they would not be defeated by the Japanese army from Busan to Seoul without resisting. Even the rebels on the road could swallow these thousands of Japanese troops? How could there be only a few thousand? The arrogance and misleading of the Liaodong army were the reason for the Ming army's defeat. If Xiao Ruxun had led his army into North Korea, he would not have used cavalry at all. He would not have used Liaodong army, but Nurhaci's cavalry!

Nurhaci wrote to the Ming court to ask for the Ming Dynasty to lead troops into the North Korea to help the war. This was because he was seeking death. As a result, he gave up because of the opposition of the Koreans, which made Xiao Ruxun quite unhappy. This time, if there was a chance, Xiao Ruxun would definitely pull Nurhaci's Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry into North Korea together!

If a God-given opportunity is not taken, it will harm it!
