Chapter 149 The Second Korean War

"At the beginning of 1597, the second Korean War broke out. The Japanese army dispatched 12 troops to attack North Korea, and another 1 sailors marched on land and water to North Korea."

"It is worth noting that before the war broke out, the Japanese army still had 14 Japanese troops stationed in Busan City, so the army should be about [-] people."

"In February, Zhu Yijun personally decreed to assist North Korea again."

"Zhu Yijun ordered that Ma Gui be the commander-in-chief to command all the troops in southeastern Liaodong and northern Korea."

"In March, Zhu Yijun ordered that Yang Gao, a political rightist in Shandong, be appointed as the censor of the Qin capital to manage North Korea's military affairs. This censor of the capital is equivalent to a local prosecutor."

"Okay! At the same time, appoint Xing Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, as Minister of the Ministry of War, governor of Ji, Liao, and Baoding military affairs, and manage slightly to control the Japanese."

"In May, Xing Jie led an army of 5 troops to Liaodong in his capacity as Minister of the Ministry of War. This is the first batch of troops sent to North Korea to help North Korea at a certain date."

"On the eve of the outbreak of the second Korean War, Ma Gui came to Seoul as the deputy commander-in-chief. At that time, there were still 7000 people stationed in Seoul."

"Moreover, Yang Yuan led 3000 Liaodong iron cavalry to garrison Nanyuan, and Chen Yuzhong led 2000 people to garrison Quanzhou, echoing Yang Yuan's troops stationed in Nanyuan."

"At the same time, Wu Weizhong led 3000 southern troops to Zhongzhou, Mao Guoqi led [-] troops to Xingzhou, and took control of Daoling and Qiufengling."

"At that time, the strategic deployment of the Ming army was very simple, that is, to guard the key points first, and when the army led by Xing Jie arrived, they immediately launched an attack from Chungju and Namwon, forming a pincer offensive to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Busan City."

"In other words, it is necessary to capture Busan City before the large Japanese army lands on the Korean peninsula. In this way, the Japanese army can only land in a detour."

"Attention, this was before the outbreak of the Korean War, and after the outbreak of the Korean War, Xing Jie led his troops to North Korea."

"At this time, the large Japanese army had already set off from the mainland of RB and headed towards the Korean peninsula."

"In June, thousands of RB warships moored at Busanpo Port, and then approached Yangsan and Xiongchuan."

"The large Japanese army has arrived at Busan City, which also marks that the original strategic deployment of the Ming army has completely failed."

"In August, the Japanese army broke through Sacheon, Nanhai, and Gwangju, and finally attacked Namwon. Once Namwon fell, the Japanese army could attack cities such as Tianjin, Dengzhou, and Laizhou by boat."

"Because of this, Yang Yuan, the deputy commander of the Ming army, led 6000 people to guard Nanyuan, half of them were Ming army and half were Korean army."

"I won't say much about the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army. It is said that Yang Yuan led the army to guard Nanyuan for several days, but in the end they were outnumbered and forced to abandon the city and retreat. Nanyuan fell."

"After Nanyuan fell, Chen Yuzhong, the general of the Ming army stationed in Quanzhou, saw that something was wrong, and immediately led his troops to withdraw from Quanzhou. The Japanese army took Quanzhou without bloodshed."

"After here, the Japanese army captured Shishan, Gongju, Jinzhou and other places one after another, and the four sides of Seoul's barriers were lost."

"It was because of the fall of Nanyuan and Quanzhou that the Ming army's combat deployment was completely disrupted, and this also brought great trouble to the Ming army who later counterattacked."

"According to the "History of the Late Ming Dynasty", the number of troops stationed in North Korea at that time was far lower than that of the Japanese army."

"And Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized 14 land offensive troops. The Ming army originally planned to enter North Korea with [-] troops, but in fact it was only [-]. Later, they gradually increased their troops."

"The Li Dynasty of North Korea's "Xuanzu Shilu" also recorded that the Ming army had a strength of 11. However, this situation happened after the 26th year of Wanli. It was not the case at the beginning of the 25th year of Wanli War."

"Okay, I've finished talking about the situation, now let's talk about the first battle between the two armies tomorrow at the beginning of the second Korean War, the Jishan victory."

"At this time, North Korea once again fell into an extremely critical situation, and the Ming army was not doing well in North Korea. Not only did the cities stationed fall one after another, but some small attacks were also frustrated one after another."

"Fortunately, Zhu Yijun did not give up on this war. He issued an order to encourage the Ming army in the dynasty, and at the same time paid money from the treasury to send more Ming troops to North Korea."

"On August 8, General Magui decided to ambush the Japanese army in order to delay the Japanese army's offensive going north."

"He first dispatched Jiesheng and others to lead 600 people to the northern part of Jishan to set up defenses to consolidate the forward position of Seoul."

"On the 7th, the Ming army had an encounter with Kuroda's political department who came to investigate the situation near Jishan Mountain."

"At the beginning, the vanguard of the Japanese army was defeated by the Ming army, and then Yang Dengshan, who led the army, immediately went into battle and quickly repelled the Kuroda Nagazhengbu."

"Later, because Mori Hidemoto led people to help Kuroda Nagamasa, Kuroda Nagamasa was able to retreat completely, and finally occupied Jishan City."

"I won't talk about the specific process of the battle. If you are interested, you can search it, or when you go back to school, you can go to the library to see if there are any relevant historical materials for reading."

"The Jishan victory is another classic case of the Ming army winning more with less. Although the Japanese army finally occupied Jishan City, the Japanese army did not continue to attack Seoul because they were afraid of the Ming army's field combat capabilities."

"It was also from this battle that the Japanese army lost the initiative in the war. This is of great strategic significance to the Ming army and North Korea, so I will single it out and talk about it."

"Soon, the Japanese army retreated across the board to Busan, because the Ming army blocked the Japanese offensive and bought time for the Ming army to transport troops from the rear. The strategic goal has been achieved."

"In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 200 casualties, while the Japanese army suffered more than 600 casualties. It is a typical case of winning more with less."

"Furthermore, according to Chao Qingnan's Chaos in Miscellaneous Records: On the [-]th day of the ninth month of the ninth month of Ding You, the deputy commander of the Heavenly General Jiesheng and others defeated the bandits in Jindaoping, Jishan, and Kato Kiyomasa and others fled to Lingnan... ..."

"Ma Gui led the army and set off to the Xiazhai in Suyuan, and sent troops to ambush up and down Jiechuan, as backup..."

"At dawn on the seventh day, the heavenly soldiers left Liupu and the right army issued orders. The army marched straight down the smooth road. The gongs sounded thirty percent, the shouts were loud, the cannons were fired, the flags were trembling, the iron horses were flying, the guns and swords were flying, and the galloping was chaotic. Cut down, and the corpses of thieves are everywhere. In one day, the world is in chaos, and the thieves are dead and covered with horses..."

"The next day at dawn, the thieves and soldiers unleashed a series of cannons. Zhang He's wings advanced, and he swung his white knives. The murderous aura was overwhelming, and the strange shapes surprised people's eyes."

"Heavenly soldiers raised their cannons, and under the iron whip, the bandits were caught off guard. After a short battle, the bandits were defeated and fled towards Muchuan Qingzhou."

"This record can be said to be a true portrayal of the Battle of Jishan."
