In the 20th year of Wanli, Japan's Taira Hideyoshi appointed Ukita Hideie as the general. He led Konishi Yukinaga and other nine regiments with nearly 160,000 people to board the ship and prepare to land in Korea. The great war in East Asia began.

As expected, the Korean army collapsed at the first touch. In less than three months, the Korean king had fled to Yiju on the border. Several envoys ran to the Ming Dynasty capital every day, just crying for help. "The flat monkey is so big." How dare you dare to compete with the sun and the moon for the pearls of rice?" Bai Lang laughed, "It's a pity that I can't go on a personal expedition this time." The Wanli Emperor sighed and ordered the North Korean king Li He to enter the Ming Dynasty and live temporarily in Shenyang. At the same time, Qi Jiguang was ordered to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses allocated by Liaodong and the capital into North Korea to attack Japan.
"If the foreign king's orders are not accepted, the war in Korea will be controlled by Qi Shuai alone." Bailang's decree was like this, and the Korean King Li He who received the decree happily ran to Shenyang. And Qi Jiguang gave the order, and early The Liaodong Army, which had been prepared, began to move, preparing to enter North Korea. The first step was to use money and food to levy border areas and build roads with the North Korean people - horse-drawn artillery vehicles had to pass over them.
The first to enter the court were the light cavalry - in fact, the Ming cavalry were all armored, and their armament was far superior to the Japanese cavalry with monkeys and dogs. And because the infantry of the Liaodong Army was rich now, they were also equipped with a large number of new models pulled by horses or mules. With four-wheeled carts, the marching speed has reached a whole new level. In fact, now Wanli intends to directly divide the arms. The logistics arm is equipped with four-wheeled carriages to accompany the infantry and cavalry artillery.
After the army went out, Bai Lang had nothing important to do now. He only needed to ensure logistics. Now he was in Wanchun Garden, and the eunuch who accompanied him brought a tray with a few silver coins in it-85 silver coins and 15 copper coins. , Bailang picked up the silver coin, the pattern on it was clearly visible, and there were fine teeth on the edge of the silver coin. "Sure enough, the stamping is exquisite." He played with the silver coin in his hand, flicked it and listened to the sound.
This is a one-yuan silver coin from the Ming Dynasty. It can be used as one tael of treasury silver, but it is actually much lighter and is not pure silver. As long as the government uses it as one tael of silver to collect taxes, it will naturally establish credibility - this Privately minted items cannot be so exquisite. Even if they can be so exquisite, then if you have the ability, you can make money, as long as you are not afraid of being caught and beheaded. The gold coins are in another tray, slightly smaller than the silver coins but just as beautiful. .
Bailang put the coins away, "Let's do it. For a period of five years, all provinces across the country will set up mints under the Ministry of Household Mining to start manufacturing. After five years, the national tax silver will be based on silver dollars. No more scattered silver will be collected." He issued the order. He passed the decree to the Ministry of Revenue and blocked a rather large corruption hole.
It will definitely not be blocked. The officials of the Ming Dynasty are very courageous to commit corruption. They will try their best to find a solution for you - this problem cannot be avoided even in the Republic of China. Bailang can only find and arrest one by one, but he can't catch them. He's lucky. Fortunately, Bailang has a way to find out. It depends on how good you are when you retire. When you retire, you can do it all at once. Anyway, according to your level, you will be left with more money, more money will be refunded, and less money will be replenished. Depending on your level, it will depend on how much you have been greedy. After reaching the death line, there are treatments such as beheading, killing three tribes, and killing melons and vines.
As for the dignity of an old minister? Bailang doesn't have it here. It would be nice if he didn't shout "My money!"
Bailang was struggling to deal with government affairs, but the battle in Korea had already begun. The Liaodong light cavalry entered Korea, explored in depth, and ran into the Japanese army head-on. What more than a hundred cavalrymen saw was a formation of thousands of Japanese troops.
I wanted to make a symbolic charge to test the Japanese army's combat power. The Chinese characters on the flag seemed to be "Ota".
The Liaodong Qingqi were only wearing cotton armor, their horses had no armor, and the weapons in their hands were only three-eyed muskets, bows and arrows, and spears and knives. When more than a hundred cavalry rushed out, the Japanese army had just formed a formation in a chaotic manner. I originally thought
I rushed out to shoot down the three-eyed musket and fired a few arrows, but I didn't expect that when I rushed over, the Japanese spearmen actually scattered.
So immediately the three-eyed muskets were fired, and the other side shouted something like horse-mounted iron cannons, which could not stop the cavalry's assault. The Ming cavalry that stood out from the smoke simply started to march on the formation, and the entire Japanese army's thousand-man formation exploded with a bang.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to pursue them in depth and retreated after chasing for more than ten miles. The enemy generals may have been among the soldiers, and we don’t know whether they were dead or not. Anyway, many short Japanese soldiers died along the way.
Several cavalrymen died and their bodies were taken away. Commander Qi Jiguang asked the cavalrymen in detail what they had seen and heard - he sent a large number of light cavalry to collect information on the battlefield and prepare to fight a battle in Pyongyang and destroy the Japanese army.
Offensive momentum.
Bailang is paying attention to naval shipbuilding. Now two shipbuilding sites - one in Tianjin Wei and the other in Shanghai County, are now trying to build ships using the scrap shipbuilding method provided by Bailang. Among them, Jesuit missionaries
It worked a little bit. Even if they didn't know how to build ships, they still knew what the ships that came all the way from Europe looked like inside and out.
This is a battleship built with a keel. The watertight compartment ensures its excellent anti-sinking ability, and the gun deck on the middle layer allows it to fire under "any" weather conditions. Of course, there are several artillery guns in the gun shed on the deck.
It can be used to sweep the deck. The ship has twenty-four cannons and two masts hung with Chinese-style hard sails. Therefore, its speed is slightly slower than that of Western battleships with soft sails, but its flexible rudder makes up for it in terms of maneuverability.
If we speed up the construction now, the equipment will only be front-mounted cannons, which are enough to attack Japanese ships. As long as Bailang thinks about it and can find the money, the Ming Dynasty Navy will form an army quite quickly. If the Japanese army attacks two Koreas
Years later, their navy would have been destroyed.
Qi Jiguang is indeed the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not comparable to any "famous general" of the Japanese Warring States Period - after learning that the Ming Dynasty army entered the DPRK, the Japanese army took the initiative to shrink and retreated directly to the vicinity of Pyongyang. Qi Jiguang calmly led the Ming Dynasty army to enter the DPRK.
, also arrived at the outskirts of Pyongyang—launched a surprise attack almost as soon as they arrived.
The Japanese army was caught off guard and was in chaos. The Liaodong cavalry was fully equipped and divided into three teams to attack the Japanese flank. However, the field artillery pulled by the carriage was placed among the infantry array and did not fire. The Ming cavalry easily destroyed the Japanese cavalry and began to attack the Japanese infantry. This was regarded as
Attack. The Japanese army has two choices. One is to retreat all the time and try to see if they can escape back to Pyongyang before collapse. The other is quite suitable for them. They try hard to move forward and gamble whether they can defeat the Ming army. So.
The personality of the little devil and what he will choose are almost certain. Starting from the moment when General Ukita Hideie tilted his flag forward, the entire Japanese army launched an attack, "Namu Eighth Class Great Bodhisattva!"
