Chapter 100 I haven't shot yet
"The Shaobao may not be very clear, and the Japanese slaves even wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty. Oda Nobunaga hoped to organize a huge fleet to conquer the Ming Dynasty after unifying Japan and allocate the provinces to their sons." Zhao Hao held his pipe and said slowly:
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi even planned to move their emperor to Beijing after conquering the Ming Dynasty. He was in Ningbo and buried in Jiangnan after his death. This is because the Japanese have a deep-rooted mentality. The Japanese islands, which are frequent earthquakes, are not their eternal hometowns, but the mainland is the best destination. It is also a geopolitical necessity."
Zhao Hao said as he waved his hand, and the secretary quickly took out a miniature map of Northeast Asia, pointed to the Korean that looked like the fleshy skirt on the chicken's chin and said:
"Japan and North Korea are too close to each other, just a Tsushima Strait. No matter who pacifies Japan, the Korean Peninsula is basically the only choice to expand its sphere of influence. Nine hundred years ago, their emperor had launched more than 40,000 troops and more than a thousand warships to fight the Tang army at the Baijiangkou of Baekje. In the end, the Tang Dynasty general Liu Rengui defeated the more with fewer and eliminated them!"
"It is precisely because of the painful lessons of the Battle of Baijiangkou that Japan worshipped the powerful Tang Empire like a god. Not only did they not hold a grudge against China, but they admired it very much. They served them devoutly throughout the Tang and Song dynasties and never acted unruly. However, it is not surprising that the two failed expeditions of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty had already lifted their ideological seals and the idea of conquering North Korea and even China was rekindled."
"This is how the islanders are. They jumped repeatedly between extreme arrogance and extreme inferiority, without the doctrine of meanness." Zhao Hao said and laughed: "So only by knocking him over to the ground, stepping on another step, and teaching them not to turn over forever can they be surrendered from the bottom of their hearts!"
"That's really cheap..." Qi Jiguang couldn't help but laugh.
"That's not." Zhao Hao nodded.
After a few people laughed, Qi Jiguang asked again: "It's okay to have a dream, but it's ridiculous to dream in the daytime? The little Japanese country actually wants to swallow an elephant by snakes and eat my China? Even if it's a weak chicken, Li Chao, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to sit idly by the Japanese slaves."
"Then you have to bet again. If the Ming Dynasty does not send troops, wouldn't they be developed?" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "And even if the Ming Dynasty sends troops, what if they win? Not only can they steadily swallow North Korea, but they can also use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard to invade our Northeast, North China, and Jiangnan. In the future, China can also use China as a springboard to conquer India!"
"Is this too hasty?" Qi Jiguang said in disbelief: "Warriors are major issues of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival. How can we bet on it?"
"I, like Shaobao, both hate gambling. But the Japanese slaves are different. Their gambling nature is deep in the bone marrow. As long as it is possible, they will definitely bet on the national fortune." Zhao Hao said confidently: "If they don't gamble one day, they will definitely be defeated and have no chance of winning. According to what I learned, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is now extremely inflated, and he has reasons to have to gamble."
"Reasons to have to bet?"
"Yes. Because in Japan, which attaches great importance to family status, he has a natural disadvantage. His background is too low. At first, he was just a soldier who brought straw sandals to Oda Nobunaga. Although he used various political and military means to temporarily surrender the major forces, his newly released retainers did not have much territory at all, and such a situation would obviously not be stable. After his death in the future, his successor would not have the super powers he had... This is almost certain... Those super daimyos he controlled with various means would definitely be ready again."
"Then he should have reduced his vassal state?" Qi Jiguang said in confusion.
"How easy is to reduce the vassal state under the feudal lord system? It can move the whole body. Moreover, in order to quickly unify, he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and to make too many promises, and even gave his mother and sister to other families as hostages. How could he rely on himself in a short period of time? Moreover, the strength of those daimyos is super strong. If they form an alliance to resist him, wouldn't it retreat to the Warring States era? Then wouldn't the "peerless achievements" of ending the Warring States and unifying Japan become a joke? This is something that a monkey can't bear."
"So he chose to open Xinjiang and consolidate his regime by making a big cake. Therefore, he will undoubtedly eat North Korea's fat meat that is close to him. And he will definitely send his own troops to fight to expand the direct territory of the Toyotomi family!" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice:
"All signs indicate that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will attack North Korea in a short period of time. In order to help him make up his mind faster, I will order to temporarily abandon Ishimi Ginyama and Sado Island, and not leave a single warship!"
"Okay." After hearing Zhao Hao's long speech, Qi Jiguang finally nodded in convincingly and asked, "I don't know what I need to do?"
"Go to Liaodong and replace Li Chengliang!" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "When the Japanese army invades Korea, you will be the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese and aiding Korea!"
"That's how..." Qi Jiguang closed his beard, but he didn't expect that the little master would go to Liaodong after going around in circles. "It seems that Liaodong is really important in the little master's heart."
"Extremely important! It is related to the safety of China. We can't let those warlords do it!" Zhao Hao nodded and said earnestly: "Young Guardian has been in office for almost a few years. There are still two years left to do it. We must flatten those military leaders, maintain the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, and be prepared to cross the Yalu River. There is a long way to go!"
"I've remembered it." Qi Jiguang nodded, but he felt a little ridiculous in his heart. The largest warlord of the Ming Dynasty wanted to be the second largest warlord, but he still spoke so righteously.
What's even more ridiculous is that I actually believe that he is entirely out of public interest, rather than taking the opportunity to remove the obstacles to seizing the world...
It's really crazy. Either you are crazy or the world is crazy.
"It's a pity that I thought I could appreciate the style of the Coast Guard Fleet." At the end, Qi Jiguang said a little regretfully.
"There will be a chance. When we annihilate the main force of the Japanese invaders in North Korea, it will be time to counterattack the Japanese capital." Zhao Hao smiled and promised: "The coast guard fleet will carry the army of Shaobao and land in Osaka Bay!"
On the way out of the old Qi family's house and to Dengzhou Wei Wharf, Zhao Hao received news from the Northeast Company.
"Li Chengliang wants to meet me?" Zhao Hao looked at the telegram and couldn't help but smile: "The dog's nose is quite good."
"The King of Liaodong was not blown out." Zhu Jue chuckled.
"Whether you see or not?" Chang Kaiche asked for instructions.
"See. Why don't you say that Lao Li has made contributions to the country?" Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "What's more, he has a good son,"
Li Chengliang gave birth to nine sons. The most outstanding one was his eldest son Li Rusong, a high disciple taught by Xu Wei, who was the most awesome commander of the Ming Dynasty after Qi Jiguang. He was so brave and wise that he won the Japanese invaders on the Korean battlefield. He was far from his father, and he was the person he admired the most. He even repeatedly expressed his willingness to be a front pawn.
If it weren't for his accidental death in the Liaodong General in the 26th year of Wanli, how could it be Jiannu's turn to dominate Liaodong?!
Moreover, Li Rusong was the general of Shanxi in the 11th year of Wanli. He served as Xuan Da over the years and has a high prestige among the border troops!
The second is the fifth brother Li Rumei, who is skilled in martial arts and archery skills, and he acts as the vanguard of his elder brother in every battle. But he is only a general, not a commander who commands the thousand troops.
Li Chengliang's other seven sons were much inferior, but most of them were in the position of deputy generals of the Nine Borders and the generals, and they held military power.
In addition to his nine sons, Li Chengliang also had countless relatives, and his subordinates and old men divided the military power. He surrounded the Shenjing for thousands of miles, and was entrenched horizontally and unshakable.
If you really want to turn against the court in the future, the Li family army will definitely be the biggest enemy of the Jiangnan Group.
In fact, these old troops that were far inferior to the Qi family's army were given free of charge. But their soldiers were all Chinese men, and there were so many places in the world waiting for them to explore. It would be better to shed less blood on your own territory.
Why not unite all forces that can be united, and we will expand our territory and make achievements together?
However, it is definitely not easy to convince the old warlords who are greedy and selfish. Zhao Hao has long been prepared to fight with Lao Li with a combination of fist and a combination of kindness and power, and to fight for a protracted battle.
It is not even ruled out that I can fuck him at the right time to let him understand the gap and be sober before I can talk about it.
However, three days later, before Zhao Hao could make a move, Li Chengliang knelt down directly...
He actually expressed his willingness to surrender to the Jiangnan Group, just asking the elders of the little palace to allow him to retire and return home and give his descendants an opportunity to work hard for the group.
"Of course, if the little master thinks they are unable to drive, I will order them all to go back to the field and work together with me to form a group of people!" Li Chengliang leaned on the Great Wall into the Sea built by Qi Jiguang, and his butt was sticking high, making Zhao Hao unable to help but want to kick him.
Damn, you kneel too fast. Look at Hai Rui and Qi Jiguang, I don’t want to surrender to you after saying all the good things...
The sea breeze blew across the yellowed flag on the top of the city, and the word "Ming" on it was already eroded by the salty and wet air on the seaside.
Just like this Bian Shuai who kneels at Zhao Hao's feet, not afraid of embarrassment at all...
Zhao Hao stared at Li Chengliang closely, wanting to see how sincere he was, or just to get away with him and act here with him.
But even if he acted, the posture he could make this posture make Zhao Hao tightly hold his eggs and make him fake it to make it true.
"I also know that this move is a bit sudden, and it is normal for Xiaoge to have doubts." Seeing the suspicion in Zhao Hao's eyes, Li Chengliang smiled bitterly:
"I was born in the fifth year of Jiajing. I was protected by my ancestors and could succeed the official position of the Tieling Guard Commander. But at first I was young and looked down on military generals. I thought that the right way to take the imperial examination and become a civil servant. Unexpectedly, until I was forty years old, I was still a poor scholar. My wife and children were so hungry that they turned green. I had no choice but to borrow money and inherit the official position in Beijing."
Zhao Hao thought to himself, this is really not enough to study, so he can only go home and inherit the official position at the department level...
"I thought I was so old and I would just make a living by joining the army. Who knew that after that, I was out of control and became the superior general of Liaodong within a few years. What do you think of the hard days I had in the past twenty years?" Li Chengliang said with a wry smile:
