Chapter 814 Toyotomi Hideyoshi (seeking the moon)

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Sir, don't give me a gift."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, stood up straight and sat on the chair that Chen Ju brought, and said directly: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to Liaodong?"

Zhu Yijun didn't expect that the news would reach Zhang Juzheng so soon. Although it was not released on purpose, it was not hidden from it. It was probably already spread throughout the court at this time.

Zhu Yijun didn't intend to hide it, and nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Juzheng asked, "Do you have to go?"

"You have to go." Zhu Yijun nodded.

This was the first large-scale battle held by the imperial court after he ascended the throne. The number of people and supplies he mobilized was rare in history. If he couldn't get through, he would be really worried.

Although he was unable to participate in military command in the past, Zhu Yijun understood that sitting there could solve many problems, and if there were any emergencies, he could make decisions in time, which could reduce a lot of trouble.

This is very important for the generals who are fighting below. Sometimes the message is not transmitted in time, and some messy people have passed on a few tricks, or those who are interested can reduce and arrange it, so many things will deviate from the facts.

This is absolutely not allowed to happen in this war.

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded after a moment and said, "I know. I don't know when Your Majesty will go. What should I prepare for?"

Zhu Yijun was moved in an instant, his heart was warm, and his nose felt a little sour.

I originally thought Mr. Zhang would object, but I didn't expect that I just asked this question. He said he insisted on going, so he believed in himself, and the monarch and minister were very close.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Then I will talk to the sir."

So Zhu Yijun pulled Zhang Juzheng to another hall, pointed to the map and told Zhang Juzheng all his thoughts and ideas.

Finally, Zhu Yijun said, "I am really worried if I don't go to keep an eye on it myself."

At this time, Zhang Juzheng's face also became serious.

He didn't expect that the emperor had such a big plan, not only to help North Korea, but to destroy Japan.

After destroying Japan, there is still a plan. If this plan is realized, it will be too many benefits to the Ming Dynasty!

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. You must send someone who is capable to watch this matter himself. Since Your Majesty has gone, it will be foolproof. I will be prepared after I go back and will never let the capital city drag you down!"

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Then I'll bother sir."

"What I should do." Zhang Juzheng nodded.

"Sir, there are days when I haven't entered the palace," Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Let's stay here today for a good meal and have a chat with me. I haven't asked in front of me for a long time. It's rare to have a chance today."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded and said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty wants me to stay, then I will stay. I also heard that there seems to be a batch of new wine in the palace?"

"This is a good thing," Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Master Zhang Tian has made it."

"Then I need to taste it well." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

I can have such a good body now because of the medicine and food that Master Zhang Tian made. If you have the chance to have a meal with the emperor, you have to get a good meal.

"Sir, come with me." Zhu Yijun smiled.

If Zhang Juzheng did not object to his command in person, it would be meaningless if the others in the court opposed it or not, and the matter was settled.

Everyone in the court also knew that the emperor was going to Liaodong.

The emperor had to prepare for a lot of things and staff when he went to Liaodong, which took time.

During this period, news has been sent from Liaodong. The facts have also proved that Zhu Yijun's judgment is very correct.

No one in the court expected that the progress of the Korean war would turn out like this.

Everyone knows North Korean waste, but they didn’t expect that they were so wasteful!

As the information continued to spread, more and more news was known: when the war began, Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized a total of 309,250 troops, divided the army troops of 158,700, and divided them into nine legions to cross the sea to North Korea to fight, with Ukita Hidea as the commander-in-chief. In addition, Kataka Kitaka led the 8,750 naval troops and 700 ships for transporting soldiers and naval battles.

In terms of strategy, Tokugawa Ieyasu's proposal was adopted to determine the tactic of "advance in land and sea with strong bullying and weak fighting and deciding quickly"; the navy ensures the supply of strategic materials for the army, and the army advances in three directions.

On April 12, its First Legion crossed the sea to Tsushima Island and stood by.

On April 13, the Ninth Army arrived.

On April 14, the Japanese army that invaded North Korea first landed in Busan, and on May 2, nineteen days later, the two were captured by the King Seoul of Joseon.

On June 15, it was trapped in Pyongyang.

In just one month, "the three capitals were lost and the eight roads collapsed." Wherever the Japanese army went, they burned and plundered. In only Jinzhou, 60,000 soldiers and civilians were massacred.

North Korea's Xuanzu Lee Kyung fled to Pyongyang in a hurry. Then, the first, second and third Japanese army rushed to chase and broke through the Imjin defense and captured Kaicheng.

Li Bing left Pyongyang and continued to exile to Yizhou on the border between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. Eight roads in North Korea have been lost, only north of the Ping'an Road, and the area near the Yizhou area near the Liaodong Peninsula has not yet been captured by the Japanese. Several groups of envoys came to the Ming Dynasty for help.

In addition to submitting formal letters of state to the emperor, the envoys of North Korea went to lobby for the cabinet ministers, ministers, ministers, censors, and eunuchs, and even expressed their willingness to entrust with the Ming Dynasty, trying to urge the Ming Dynasty to send troops to aid Korea as soon as possible.

Looking at the report in his hand, Zhu Yijun's face was very wonderful, and he handed it to Wang Yongji beside him and said, "Look."

After Wang Yongji took a look, his face became weird. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This is too fast."

Zhu Yijun asked, "What do you say in the court?"

Wang Yongji pondered for a moment, his face a little embarrassed, but he still said with a thorn in his mouth: "Go back to Your Majesty, the ministers in the court seem to be a little unbelievable."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yijun asked suspiciously.

Wang Yongji said without reservation or concealment, "The ministers in the court think that North Korea should not be defeated so quickly. I'm afraid there is any conspiracy here. North Korea is so big and has so many people, how could it be defeated like this?"

"Some people think this is a conspiracy between North Korea and Japan. The main purpose is to lure the Ming Dynasty to send troops and then annihilate the Liaodong troops of the Ming Dynasty so that they can invade Liaodong."
