Eighty-three Shen Weijing is an ambassador to Pyongyang
These ministers were drunk on their bodies, and were scolded by Xiao Ruxun, and they all bowed their heads and dared not speak out. Seeing Li Bing's helpless look, Liu Chenglong sighed, walked to Li Bing and knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take people to repair the road and repair the warehouse so that the Heavenly Army can send troops."
Li Bing grabbed the life-saving straw and nodded immediately: "Okay! OK! Liu Qing is worthy of being a pillar of the country. The matter is fully handed over to Liu Qing. The people of the troops around Yizhou can be mobilized at will to fill the road surface and repair the warehouse. It is best to complete it within one month. You must not delay the advance of the heavenly soldiers!"
Liu Chenglong sighed, took the order, and then asked several more capable officials to accompany him to help, and then left depressedly.
Liu Chenglong is still worthy of reassurance. After gaining the power to mobilize manpower, Xiao Ruxun wrote a warrant and handed it to his personal soldiers to bring it back to Zhenjiang Fort and hand it over to Wu Weizhong, asking Wu Weizhong to start transporting grain to Yizhou, North Korea. Liu Chenglong sent someone to respond on the shore. At this time, Liu Chenglong realized that there were fewer livestock and vehicles on his hands and that he was outrageous. When he was pale and preparing to apologize to Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun just rolled his eyes.
"There are more than a thousand vehicles of various types in Zhenjiang Fort, and they will cross the river with the grain. Just send someone to pick you up!"
Liu Chenglong felt relieved and his admiration for Xiao Ruxun reached a higher level.
Why did this general prepare so well in advance? He is a master of logistics. If he were a Korean, he would not be so passive...
Starting from September 23, Wu Weizhong began to arrange his soldiers and civilians to load and ship the food and some of the ordnances to the North Koreans on the south bank day and night. Yuan Huang personally stared at the south bank. The Korean soldiers and civilians sent the food and ordnances to Yizhou one by one. One by one, a large cart and ferry crossed between Zhenjiang Fort and Yizhou City, and there was a constant stream of enthusiasm.
On September 28, news came from Zhenjiang Fort that General Li Rusong arrived with 5,000 Jurchen cavalry and demanded to cross the river to fight. Wu Weizhong asked Xiao Ruxun for his opinion.
Xiao Ruxun sneered.
He also said three thousand, but as soon as he came, five thousand came. This was not only a fight for merit, but also a demonstration. Of course, this also satisfies Xiao Ruxun's idea. If Li Rusong goes, Li Rusong will definitely coerce and lure Nurhaci to bring more soldiers over, and he cannot satisfy his own little Jiujiu. He knew very well what Nurhaci was thinking about when he wrote a letter, so he wanted to let Li Rusong suppress Nurhaci and turn the Jurchen cavalry into the combat power of the Ming Dynasty, so that he could swallow the bitter fruit!
It is basically true that Li Rusong did not listen to military orders, but Xiao Ruxun still couldn't let Li Rusong go crazy now. He had to slowly hang Li Rusong's temperament and suppress him from coming to make trouble. After the war could start, let Li Rusong go crazy as he wanted. Anyway, all the people who died were Jurchen cavalry, not Ming soldiers.
His main forces were all infantry, which fits the mountainous and muddy terrain and terrain of North Korea. Li Rusong's arrangement was 60% of the cavalry and 40% of the infantry. In the end, most of the soldiers and horses were killed or injured. They were forced to turn into infantry, and later they were forced to change the main general.
The Japanese army did not have many cavalry at all, and they had to survive less than two thousand. They were not the opponent of these 5,000 Jurchen cavalry. If they really wanted to fight, I believe that Nurhaci could easily solve these Japanese cavalry. Xiao Ruxun planned to hand over the task to Li Rusong and Nurhaci, to ask Li Rusong and Nurhaci to eat up the Second Legion of Kato Kiyomasa, currently entrenched in the Jizhou area of Hamkyung Dok.
Xiao Ruxun's first strategic plan was to completely eliminate the First and Second Corps of Peachan Road and Hamkyung Road, kill the troops of Governor Konishi and Kiyomasa Kato, rub the Japanese army's spirit, and stabilize the entire northern part of North Korea, so as to avoid being attacked from both sides after the army advances.
So Xiao Ruxun sent a hand-in-hand order and asked Li Rusong and Tong Nuerhaci's troops to station in Zhenjiang Fort to assist in the transportation of grain and grass, and he was not allowed to cross the river without orders.
Under the connection between Xiao Ruxun and Liu Chenglong, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea slowly began the operation of war, and the war machine rumbled, while the Japanese side and President Konishi knew nothing about this.
Xiao Ruxun scattered 300 Zhejiang soldiers and guarded the hunting around Yizhou City, telling them that they found a suspicious person and went straight to the point of not asking about life and death. Of course, it is best to be captured alive. Some information can be found back. If you can't capture alive, you can kill it directly. It is better to kill it than let it go!
After a few days, these Zhejiang soldiers hunted thirteen suspicious people. After uncovering the cloth scarf on their heads, they were surprised to find that the thirteen were all Japanese with half shaved heads. This news made Xiao Ruxun's evaluation of the intelligence protection capabilities of the North Koreans reached a higher level. He decided that the matter that was irrelevant in the future would be told at the court meeting, and some necessary false news would even be spread. The real important thing would only tell Liu Chenglong secretly, let Liu Chenglong meet Li Jian and inform Li Jian.
He wants to establish a secret communication and contact line so that even if the intelligence is leaked, he can determine who is the traitor in the shortest time.
Although it is basically confirmed that there must be a connection between Li Xiang and Governor Xiaoxi, judging from the situation during this period, I can't catch the scoop, so I can only continue to be careful and prevent President Xiaoxi from knowing too much. Then pay careful attention to Li Xiang's every move to see if I can catch the main messenger behind the scenes.
President Xiaoxi was in a very depressed mood.
The last time after Shen Weijing left, he waited around and waited for fifty days, and was restless and was about to send someone to ask about the news, but the news came - Mr. Shen was already on the way to Pyongyang. Mr. Shen was old and came in a sedan chair. He came slowly, so don't be anxious.
President Xiaoxi settled down. After capturing Pyongyang, his greatest wish was to start peace talks, determine the country's territory, and stop fighting. The Japanese army's logistics supply has reached its limit. If it continues, the logistics will collapse. Although the lonely army guarding Pyongyang still has food to eat, there is much less weapon, especially gunpowder and lead bullets. There is really not much, and it cannot support a war. If it does not retreat, it may be difficult to support it.
Once Shen Weijing comes, it means that peace talks can be restarted. As long as the peace talks are opened, he will be sure.
He had no idea what kind of person Shen Weijing was.
On September 28, Shen Weijing arrived at Pyongyang City. President Xiaoxi went out to greet him in person, opened the city gates and treated him warmly. He also sent a chariot to carry him into the city. His attitude was very different from the last time he surrounded him and entered the city with his sword. However, there were soldiers and generals everywhere, and they were secretly ambushing the murderous intent. Shen Weijing's face was not changed and his heart was not beating. While talking and laughing with Xiaoxi, he was still leisurely and secretly counting the number of soldiers in the city.
This was the first extra task Xiao Ruxun gave him, asking him to figure out how many Japanese soldiers were in Pyongyang City. He estimated it with years of perspective and found that the total strength of Pyongyang City was about 14,000 to 20,000, which was roughly the same as the main force of the First Legion of the Governor Xiaoxi, and very accurate.
In contrast, the North Koreans fought with Governor Xiaoxi countless times, but they were still confused about the enemy's strength. They were not as smart as Chen Weijing, a big liar.
Chen Weijing's task is to stabilize the Japanese and let them continue to wait. This is not a good thing to do, but Chen Weijing is so smart, in order to save his life, he can do anything, and the two sides settle down to start negotiations.
