In another time and space, Toyotomi Hideyoshi initiated the war of invasion in April of the 20th year of Wanli, that is, eleven months later.

But now the Ming Dynasty is in a civil war, and the Japanese who are good at speculation certainly have to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and make a move ahead of time.

In March, after confirming that the Ming Dynasty was not in the act, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave Kanbaya's position to her adopted son Hideji, and moved to Kitakyushu Hiramaki as the "Old Lord" to Hiradoya Castle, which was across the sea from North Korea.

In this base camp that he built specifically to invade North Korea, a total of 300,000 troops have gathered!

At the same time, after the whole country's efforts, and the national naval army was gathered, Hideyoshi had a huge fleet of more than 700 warships and more than 2,000 auxiliary ships.

This "world's number one" navy will be responsible for transporting army and logistics supplies to North Korea. It is also responsible for destroying the Korean navy and blocking the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty navy... Although the Ming people are too busy to take care of themselves, it is unlikely that they will be care about this little business.

No wonder Toyotomi Hideyoshi was crazy and thought that "with the combat power of our army, it would be a big flood and a sharp sword to deal with the Ming army."

Someone suggested that his army should learn more about Chinese and Korean translations, and at the same time let the samurai and footmen learn these two languages ​​seriously...

The Lord Tai said contemptuously: "There is no need for that. In the future, the three countries will be unified and they will speak Japanese."

Not only monkeys, but also the Japanese army in Nagoya were filled with extreme optimism, believing that North Korea must be within reach and that this trip was to make merits!

Therefore, the commanders of the legion fought in front of monkeys all day long, hoping to be designated as the vanguard.

At the end of April, Taigong announced the final military plan, with Ukita Hidea as the commander-in-chief, leading the nine most elite legions, with a total of 150,000 troops as advance troops, and entering North Korea in three directions!

Among them, the First Army was 18,000, and the commander of the Legion, Governor Xiaoxi;

The Second Army had 22,000 people, and the commander of the Legion, Masaki Kato;

The Third Army had 12,000 people, the commander of the Legion Kuroda Nagamasa;

The Fourth Army had 14,500 people, and the Legion Nagashi Shimazu Yoshihiro;

The Fifth Army had 25,000 people, the commander of the Legion, Masashi Fukushima;

The Sixth Army had 15,000 people, and the commander of the Legion, Takake Kobayakawa;

The Seventh Army had 30,000 people, and the commander of the Legion, Hiromoto Mori;

The Eighth Army had 11,000 people, and the commander of the Legion Ukita Hidea;

The Ninth Army had 11,000 people, and the commander of the Legion Hidekatsu Hashiba.

The nine legion commanders were all Hideyoshi's direct descendants, or famous Warring States generals. The 150,000 army was even more professional soldiers with many battles, with extremely strong combat power!

The rest of the troops act as reserves and decide the time to enter North Korea depending on the situation.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been putting all his capital this time and sent almost all his elite troops to North Korea. However, he did not allow Danames like Tokugawa Ieyasu who had secretly had strange intentions to join, which shows how confident he is to win this battle!

On the second day of May, Governor Konishi, who served as the pioneer, led the First Legion across the sea to Tsushima Island and stood by.

On the second day, the order of the Nine Army to set off was issued!

On three days, the First Army landed in Busan first!

In fact, there were various signs before that Japan was going to attack North Korea. Even a year ago, Hao Jie, the governor of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, gave a special note to remind the King of Korea to prepare for war.

However, the Korean monarch, minister, civil and military play to an outrageous level, and actually forwarded it to Jeolla and Gyeongsang Do, asking them to pay attention to patrol, and then continued to play music and dance, and continued to be busy with party struggles and palace struggles.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Governor Xiaoxi captured Busan, a major coastal defense center in North Korea, in just one hour.

It was not until the bad news of Busan's fall that the Lee Dynasty's ruler and ministers woke up as if they were dreaming. They knew that something was wrong and the house was about to collapse.

King Li Bing quickly dispatched troops and organized defense. However, the Japanese army was as powerful as a rock and easily defeated various Korean troops. Wherever they went, they burned and robbed. In Jinzhou alone, there were 60,000 soldiers and civilians who were massacred!

When the Japanese army was advancing rapidly, after the Qintai of Li Dynasty was completely wiped out the elite King's army in Zhongzhou, there was nothing to stop them from capturing Seoul.

At this time, it was only fourteen days before they landed in Busan, less than half a month...

When he learned that his ace was destroyed, Wang Jing was in danger, Li Bing first quickly established Gwanghae Jun Li Hui as the prince of the king. Then, in the morning of May 19, Li Bing and more than 100 followers fled Seoul in a panic in heavy rain and went to Pyongyang in the northwest to take refuge. Of course, the official statement was "West Hunting".

With the enemy in front of him, the king ran away first, how could the defenders have morale?

Two days later, the Japanese army successfully broke through the Han River defense line and occupied Seoul without bloodshed.

Then the Lee Dynasty organized another counterattack, but it was defeated by the Japanese army, resulting in the fall of Kaesong and Pyongyang was no longer safe.

At this time, the North Korean army had almost lost its combat effectiveness except for the Jeolla Right Water envoy Park Sung-in and Jeolla Left Water envoy Lee Sun-sin, who led the Jeolla Do Navy Division, as well as some rebels.

Helplessly, Li Bing had to leave Pyongyang and fled north again. Soon, Pyongyang also fell.

Just one month after the war started, North Korea, that is, the "Three Capitals are lost and the Eight Ways are disintegrated". Wherever the Japanese army went, they burned and robbed, and did everything they did. In Jinzhou alone, 60,000 soldiers and civilians were massacred!

The Korean military and civilians hated the Japanese invaders' beastly movements, and also hated the corruption and incompetence of Li Bing's monarch and his ministers.

When Lee Kyung fled Seoul, people set fire to his Gyeongbok Palace.

When we arrived at Kaicheng, the people threw stones at the imperial guards.

After fleeing Pyongyang, Li Bing's monarch and ministers were besieged by the military and civilians. The princess's attendant palace maid was knocked off the horse, and the judging of the Hu Cao, Hong Ruzhun, was also beaten and injured. The scene was very embarrassing.

At this time, all eight roads in North Korea were lost, and only the Yizhou area bordering the Ming Dynasty had not yet fallen.

Li Bing, the monarch and minister who fled to the Sino-Korean border, reached a completely consensus at this time and could not resist the invaders with his own strength. Now there is only one way, which is to try every means to ask the father behind him to take action.

In fact, after the fall of Busan, Li Bing immediately sent an envoy to report to the Celestial Empire for help, but was rejected by Liaodong Governor Hao Jie on the grounds that he was in a civil war.

Li Bing's monarch and ministers also knew that his father was too busy to take care of himself now, but they were already desperate. At least he begged his father to allow his monarch and ministers to cross the Yalu River and go into exile in the Heavenly Kingdom.

In order to impress the Celestial Empire to send troops, Li Bing expressed his willingness to support the Ming Dynasty and become a province of the Celestial Empire.

Some ministers opposed the inner escort, but Li Bing had made up his mind and said, "I can die in the country of the emperor, but not at the hands of the thief." "Instead of thief, I would rather die in the country of my parents." He insisted on the inner escort.

So Li Bing sent the Grand Secretary Xian Li Dexin to ask for military envoys to formally submit a request for help and an in-appropriate request to the Celestial Empire.

Fortunately, at this time, the civil war in the Celestial Kingdom came to an end and the two sides entered a state of peace. The envoy of the Li Dynasty was able to enter the pass smoothly and come to the capital to write a letter.

When Emperor Wanli saw the letter of nationality that North Korea asked for help, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said to Zhang Hong: "Li Fan asked me for help, but I still want to ask him for help."

Zhang Hong laughed dryly with him, and as he smiled, the master and servant hugged his head and started crying.

"I want to have a father too!" Wanli cried, "I have no one to count on both of them," he said.

He was so scared, because his fate was no longer in his control.

I thought that according to what Shen Shixing said, I issued an order, wrote a letter, and let someone go... if I have done my sincerity, the other party would let him go. At most, I would only argue about how much power the emperor retains and whether he or she would be treated with the royal family.

Unexpectedly, the other party had to start talking again.

Just talk, and don't send a serious person.

Royal Shipping... Oh, now Ma Bi, the vice chairman of China Shipping, is appointed as the official negotiator.

There is also a major general named Cai Yilin who serves as deputy negotiating envoy.

Although he was not very clear about how the official positions of Jiangnan Group were calculated, Zhang Jing told him that they were not important people. The general was at most equivalent to the censor among civil servants, and the deputy envoy was almost equivalent to a general.

Zhao Hao's family has been officials for three generations, how could they not understand that the court is most reciprocal? It is absolutely a naked provocation to tell Wanli that, based on their strength and status, you are now a direct mayor. If you are not happy, let's not talk.

But Shen Shixing was able to bend and stretch, and insisted on sitting down and talking with his nose pinched.

However, the other party made a fuss and asked Wanli to abdicate first and accept the people's trial, and then formal negotiations could be started after the matter was completed.

This is the decision of the group conference and no one can change it.

Because how Hai Rui died was not based on the words of Wanli family. It must be tried publicly and the truth will be made public to the world to calm people’s hearts!

Moreover, Wanli instructed Dongchang to kill more than 100 cadres and employees of the group. This blood debt must not be turned into a confusing account, and it must be settled!

So the group has nothing to talk to him.

Of course, Wanli would never agree to...

But the problem is that the royalist party protects the throne, but does not necessarily support a specific emperor. Moreover, everyone is extremely disappointed with Wanli. The unprecedentedly powerful country left by Zhang Juzheng made him defeat this point in three years. It is really unreasonable to abdicate without causing any blame.

Moreover, the royalists also recognized Zhao Hao as the leader. How could they completely offend the boss for the sake of Bao Wanli?

So their attitude is also very ambiguous, and they are very tempted to betray Wanli at any time.

This made Wanli feel anxious all day long, feeling that he was sold by the royalist party headed by Shen Shi.

How could he care about Li Chao's life or death?

Fortunately, the Li Dynasty paid three tributes a year and never stopped, and its relationship network in the capital was extraordinary.

Invite the soldiers to join Li Dexin to visit the wharf for a while, and soon you will know that the Emperor of the Celestial Empire has already said nothing.

The one who has the final say is in Jiangnan...

It is definitely too late to rush to Jiangnan now. Fortunately, he found out that there was peace talks in the Jiangnan Group in the capital.

They will definitely be able to contact the indescribable demon king as quickly as possible...

Li Dexin prepared generous gifts with the mentality of being a living horse, and went to the Beijing Branch of China Shipping in Dashilan to ask for a visit.

Unexpectedly, the two messengers actually welcomed him very enthusiastically and agreed to ask for instructions on him.

And he doesn't accept gifts.

Li Dexin was so scared that she thought her gift was lighter, so she hurriedly said that she would thank her for something else after the matter was done.

I heard that Ma Bi and Cai Yilin were very tired. Let’s forget that the relationship would not be successful?
Chapter completed!
