Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Sending Troops to North Korea
"Faced with the continuous changes in the domestic situation in North Korea, Zhu Yijun cannot sit still at this time. If it were any later, North Korea might not be able to survive."

"So Zhu Yijun sent someone to notify Li Rusong and asked him to immediately lead troops into North Korea to push the Japanese troops back to RB."

"What was the situation in North Korea at that time? In fact, there were not many Japanese troops who landed in North Korea to fight, about 1 people, but because North Korea was too weak, it couldn't stop [-] Japanese troops."

"It is said that after Li Rusong received Zhu Yijun's order, he led his troops to set off soon. In May, Li Rusong entered North Korea and began to fight against the Japanese army."

"In June, Li Rusong led the Ming army to recapture Seoul. It was not until August that the Japanese army retreated to the southern border of Korea."

"But Li Rusong didn't intend to let them go. He didn't return to the court until September, after Li Rusong wiped out most of the Japanese troops."

"At the beginning of 1590, Li Rusong led the Ming army back to the capital, but before Zhu Yijun could be happy, another letter asking for help was sent from North Korea, saying that the Japanese army was back!"

"And this time, it's menacing! Why do you say that?"

"This is because, for this attack, Toyotomi Hideyoshi dispatched a total of more than 30 troops, half of which will land on the Korean peninsula, while the other half will assist in operations at sea."

"When Zhu Yijun heard the news, he couldn't help frowning. He said that the Japanese army invaded North Korea with several times more people. If Daming didn't help him, North Korea would be destroyed within a few seconds."

"Attention, there is a particularly obvious problem here, that is, the Japanese army left about 15 maritime combat troops, and this force directly threatened the coastal areas."

"Based on this, Zhu Yijun quickly ordered that the coastal provinces strengthen their defenses to prevent the Japanese army from making a surprise attack, but this also caused another problem, that is, the coastal troops cannot be transferred!"

"But at that time, the capital only had the 4 people that Li Rusong brought back from North Korea, and the Japanese army landed on the Korean peninsula with as many as 15 troops. How should Zhu Yijun deal with it?"

"While Zhu Yijun was still hesitating, the Japanese army had already landed on Tsushima Island and began to attack North Korea."

"Shortly after, the Japanese army landed from Busan, and it took a short while to occupy Seoul again. The North Korean king Yi Yan fled again. In June, the Japanese army occupied Pyongyang."

"At this time, several months have passed since Li Yan sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty had not moved, he sent several groups of envoys again to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops for assistance."

"At the same time, the Japanese army was too fierce, and Li Yan had to continue to flee to the border between China and North Korea. At that time, the Eight Kingdoms of North Korea had almost completely fallen."

"Then what are the Eight Ways of North Korea? Let me explain here. Ways, like provinces in China, belong to administrative regional units."

"And the Eight Provinces of Korea refer to Pyongan-do, Hamgyong-do, Hwanghae-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do, and Gyeongsang-do."

"At that time, the Eight Kingdoms of Korea had all fallen, and Li Yan had already reached the border between China and North Korea. He was on the verge of life and death, so he had to send envoys in batches to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty."

"When the news that Li Hao had fled to the border between China and North Korea reached Zhu Yijun's ears, he was also shocked. He did not expect that the Japanese army attacked so quickly and North Korea was almost gone."

"But there were not many troops stationed in the capital at that time. All in all, there were only about 5 troops, and reinforcements were still coming from the northwest and southwest."

"However, it will take time for the reinforcements to arrive. According to estimates, it will take at least a month for the reinforcements to arrive in the capital. After arriving in the capital, they will have to rush to North Korea, which will take even more time."

"But if they don't send troops at this moment, North Korea is likely to be finished. And under the constant urging of North Korean envoys, Zhu Yijun was finally forced to order the border troops stationed in Liaodong to enter North Korea first."

"Because the Japanese army was defeated once last time, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops again this time, the Japanese army must have concerns and delay time."

"At the same time, Zhu Yijun ordered Li Rusong to quickly continue North Korea with 5 troops from the capital, and let the Liaodong Frontier Army bring Li Zhan to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to protect the king of North Korea."

"In this way, after Zhu Yijun's order arrived in Liaodong, the guards in Liaodong did not dare to neglect, and immediately began to discuss countermeasures."

"They first brought the North Korean King Li Wan to Kuan Dien Fort, and the Ming Dynasty Army protected him, and then began to discuss countermeasures for sending troops to North Korea."

"At that time, there were not many frontier troops in Liaodong, less than 1 people. It is said that in mid-June, Liaodong Economic Strategy sent Tong Yangzheng, the deputy commander of Kuandianbao, to command Tong Yangzheng, and brought eight scouts into North Korea's Uiju to spy on intelligence. "

"It is said that these eight people are divided into five batches. Each batch is a hundred miles apart. If more important information is discovered or there is an emergency, it can be quickly passed on."

"Wait a minute, because this matter is more complicated. Please forgive me if I made a mistake somewhere."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, indicating that he understood, but in his opinion, he had never heard of what Teacher Miao said. Even if Teacher Miao said something wrong, he couldn't tell.

"Okay, let's continue. It's said that a scout discovered that a Japanese general was stationed in Jiangsha, so he hurried back to report it."

"Later, a minister from North Korea found out about this matter. The minister came to Jiangsha to take a look and found that there were only a few hundred Japanese soldiers stationed there. Later, he called the general of the Ming army over."

"The minister of North Korea said that if the Japanese army had only so much combat power, it wouldn't be a problem to wipe them all out once the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived."

"But the general of the Ming army didn't think so, because the Japanese army he saw were well-equipped and well-trained soldiers. Although there were not many in number, their combat effectiveness must be extremely strong."

"We have already introduced the situation in North Korea, now let's talk about the situation in the capital."

"After Zhu Yijun ordered the Ming army to send troops to North Korea, the problems that followed gave him a headache."

"And the first problem is to solve the problem of rations and salaries. The first one is the problem of military rations."

"Because we entered North Korea to fight, the supply lines were stretched, and the weather was not very good, so Zhu Yijun wanted to leave this problem to the King of North Korea to solve it."

"But at this time, the king of North Korea, Li Yan, has lost control of all parts of North Korea. The local officials are hiding and hiding, and there is no way to raise rations for the Ming army."

"No way, Zhu Yijun has no choice but to solve it in another way. Then the second problem is the problem of military salary."

"The Ming Dynasty helped North Korea fight the war. Logically speaking, North Korea should allocate the military salary, but the situation in North Korea is also there, so the issue of food and salary can only be solved by Zhu Yijun in the end."
