Chapter 356: Wang Bing's plan

"For your information, Lord Marquis, Jin Yiwei has sent urgent military information!"

In the 20th year of Wanli, on April 18, just four days after Busan was captured by the Japanese army, in Hada City, Liaodong, thousands of miles away from Busan, Wang Bing received the Jinyiwei Yifei at the fastest speed in this era.

Several pieces of urgent military information were sent back by pigeon.

"Haha, Bangzi is Bangzi, just as good as ever!"

After glancing at the tiny characters on the paper, Wang Bing couldn't help but sneer with disdain.

"Come here, please invite Qi Shuai, Ma Shuai and Li Shuai to come and discuss matters!"

Although Wang Bing did not plan to enter the court at this time, after pondering for a while, he finally decided to inform several generals of the army about the news.



"Grandfather, this is the Korean military information that Jin Yiwei just sent back via flying pigeon. Take a look!"

After Qi Jiguang, Ma Gui, and Li Rusong arrived, Wang Bing handed several small rolls of paper to several people.

"Haha, you have a city to rely on and you didn't even defend it for a day?"

"Are all these Korean soldiers just for food? What kind of thing are they fighting!"

"This Japanese army seems to be much more elite than the Japanese pirates back then!"

Looking at the information about the Battle of Busan sent back on several small rolls of paper, the generals all had different reactions, but they all couldn't help but frown.

"Ma Shuai, Li Shuai, this stick has been protected by my Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years since he became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. I guess they have long forgotten that there is war in this world, hahahaha!"

Regarding Ma Gui and Li Rusong's disappointment with the North Korean army's combat power, even Wang Bing, who already knew the outcome before the war started, was equally contemptuous at this moment.

There was no way, although he had known from 'history' that Busan had not been able to defend Busan for a whole day, but only after receiving the news from Jin Yiwei, Wang Bing realized that the damn history books for him were praising them for a whole day.

.

Zheng Bo's garrison, which was no less numerous than Konishi Governor's First Army, relied on Busan City, but could not hold out for two hours. Therefore, even if Zheng Bo died on the spot, he would not be respected at all.

"From the news sent back by the Jin Yiwei, the number of fire muskets equipped by the Japanese army is much greater than that of the original Japanese pirates!"

Unlike Ma Gui and Li Rusong who focused on the Korean army, Qi Jiguang's attention was on the Japanese army's firearms.

You must know that the reason why the Qi family army is so powerful and victorious in every battle is that in addition to strict military discipline and training, the emphasis on weapons is also the key to victory, especially in the equipment of firearms.

It can be said that before the Yulin Guards were established, the Qi Army had the highest firearms equipment rate among the Ming army. From bird cannons to tiger squat cannons and all kinds of cannons and firearms, as long as the Ming Dynasty had them, the Qi Army had all the equipment, and

There are quite a few!

Therefore, after confirming that the Japanese army was equipped with a large number of firecrackers, Qi Jiguang, an undefeated military god who made his fortune by fighting Japanese pirates, naturally would not be careless.

"My grandfather is right. The Japanese army is indeed equipped with a lot of firecrackers. Judging from the report sent back by Xu Yi and the news sent back by the Jinyi Guards, I am afraid it is at least 20% or more!"

Seeing Qi Jiguang's solemn look, Wang Bing also put away his previous smile.

"Twenty percent? If you think about it, the Japanese army will need at least 30,000 muskets this time?"

After hearing Wang Bing's estimate, Ma Gui and Li Rusong couldn't help but frown.

You know, since the armies arrived in Liaodong, whether it was the Ming Dynasty frontier cavalry led by Ma Gui and Li Rusong, or the Jurchen elite cavalry of the Haixi Four Guards, in the battle drills with the Yulin Guards and Qi Jiajun equipped with fire guns, it was

He almost never wins.

Therefore, when I heard that the Japanese army was equipped with so many firecrackers, I immediately became worried.

"Haha, don't worry, the commanders. Although the Japanese are equipped with many firecrackers, each of their armies fights independently, so there are only a few thousand firecrackers in one army at most. Secondly, how many firecrackers are there?

Commander, have you forgotten that the fire blunderbuss equipped by this Japanese is not the kind of thing we have in our hands?"

Seeing that several people had solemn looks on their faces, Wang Bing quickly smiled and reminded them.

"Uh, yes, why did we forget about this? The fire blunderbuss of these Japanese pirates cannot hit as far or as fast as our Ming dynasty fire blunderbuss!"

After receiving Wang Bing's reminder, Ma Gui and Li Rusong, who had fallen into inertial thinking, realized that what Yu Linwei and Qi Jiajun were now equipped was not the previous kind of ignition with a match rope, which could only be done within a distance of thirty or forty steps.

A firecracker that is effective in killing enemies.

"In that case, what are you waiting for, hahahaha!"

After putting aside the last trace of worries in his heart, Li Rusong, the most radical deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was eager to send his troops south immediately.

"Father, these little bastards are here now, and they are not enough for everyone to share. Why are you so anxious? Hehe!"

Seeing the impatient look on Li Rusong's face, Li Zunzu, who also participated in this discussion, couldn't help complaining to his father with a smile on his face.

"Old Li, don't mention it, you, as my father, are really not as stable as your son, hahahaha!"

Before Li Rusong could say a lesson to Li Zunzu, the 'rebellious son', Ma Gui started jokingly.

"He knows nothing. I eat more salt than he eats rice. How dare you teach him?"

Although he did not agree with Li Zunzu's reminder, Li Rusong did not continue to raise the issue of war.

"Boy, since Japan has sent troops now, tell me your plan!"

Finally, it was Qi Jiguang, the undefeated military god, who asked Wang Bing about his specific deployment.

"For the time being, let's wait and be ready to send troops. This Japanese pirate has just landed! Besides, although North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, we can't trespass into the territory of the vassal state, right?"

There was nothing he could do about it. Although he didn't like these Japanese pirates who were no different from beasts, in Wang Bing's series of plans, these beasts still had their own unique uses.

So let alone the Japanese pirates who have just landed, even if they capture Li Huan now, Wang Bing will not send troops as long as he does not complete the "task" he has given him.

"Stop talking to us about this, kid. Just tell us when are you going to send troops?"

Qi Jiguang and others did not believe Wang Bing's high-sounding reasons at all.

"We have to wait for the imperial court and His Majesty's order to dispatch troops. We can't put our hot face on the cold buttocks of those sticks, right?"
