Chapter 281 The Return of the Japanese to Japan (Twenty-three) Military Adjustments
"The order for the war against Japan: Li Shanhai and Li Dexin have not returned to the court for a long time, so they are ordered to return on their own. The frontline troops are temporarily controlled by the soldiers and horses of Gyeongsang Zuodao, Yuhou Quan Yingxin, and they are transferred to Yanyang to the west for reinforcements."
Gao Pragmatic issued this order to the Korean courtiers and troops, but it was not passed through the hands of the Korean court at all, but was issued directly in the name of the Imperial Guard. It can be said that the Korean court was not taken seriously at all.
At the same time, the order itself is also very overbearing. In one sentence, it removes the control of the North Korean leaders and soldiers from the North Korean army on the front line, and "orders them to return home" - that is, you go back to Hanyang.
If you take a closer look, you will find that the North Korean military commander Gao Pragmatic temporarily appointed was a soldier named Quan Yingxin.
The official position of Soldier, Horse and Yuhou is unique to North Korea and was not found in the Ming Dynasty. Here I will briefly talk about North Korea's military system.
The Lee Dynasty of Korea implemented a system of civilian management of the army and separation of soldiers and generals. There were no fixed generals and no fixed soldiers. It was similar to a reserve army serving in turns, rather than a standing army. This is a general summary.
Specifically speaking of the Spanish (that is, military positions), the external official positions include military military commander, military defense commander, naval commander, naval defense commander, naval military commander, (the lower three provinces: Jeolla Province, Gyeongsang Province,
Chungcheong-do) Three-provincial navy commander, three-province navy commander (both from the second rank); military and horse control envoy, navy military governor, patrolling camp central army, town camp general (all from the third rank)
;
Non-Tang Shangguan includes the military and horse Qian control envoys, the water army Qian control envoys, the soldiers and horses Yuhou (both from the third rank); the water army Yuhou (the fourth rank); the soldiers and horses Tongqian control envoys, the soldiers and horses ten thousand households, and the water army.
Military colleagues, temperance envoys, navy troops of ten thousand households (all from the fourth rank), military and horse reviewers (the sixth rank), military and horse temperance captains, supervisors and pastoral officers (all from the sixth rank), special generals, and power to control others
General (from the ninth rank).
Therefore, soldiers, horses and Yuhou are the third rank of Congzhi, which is roughly equivalent to Tongzhi, the commander of the guards, by analogy with the Ming Dynasty, and a little lower than the commander of the guards.
At present, the Ming Dynasty has several generals and deputy generals in North Korea. There are a lot of guerrillas and generals. It is difficult for even high-ranking military commanders to hold large-scale military meetings such as Tongzhi, a small officer, to enter the big tent.
Don't even think about a large-scale high-level military discussion.
At the same time, the North Korean side has very few troops left that can be brought to the front line, so when it comes to war now, it is just like "stars shining", randomly selecting a few people who can participate in military discussions, and they are often used as military commanders.
, the military and horse defense envoy must be at least a general such as the military and horse temperance envoy, that is, the Tang Shangguan.
Who would have thought that Gao Jingshi would let a mere soldier Yu Hou take charge of the army this time? This is a bit too difficult to understand. But there are actually not too many twists and turns here. Gao Jingshi is simply looking for a position.
He wanted to lead the army with high-ranking people in order to effectively banish the useless senior generals of Korea's Spanish army - they definitely did not want to obey the command of a mere soldier, so they had no choice but to go back to Hanyang.
Of course, if we have to say whether Gao Pragmatic had other motives for doing this, it is more or less, that is to break tradition and establish authority. To be more specific, it is to break Korean tradition and establish personal authority.
Talking about some of the traditions of North Korea, Gao Pragmatic was unhappy when he saw Koreans bragging about Yi Sun-shin, so he went to find some information about the Lee Dynasty and thought some of them were interesting.
For example, in the early days of the founding of North Korea, the armaments were quite sufficient, with the largest army numbering nearly 150,000 (in the late 15th century). The military system was mainly based on the five-guard system, and the army was divided into five guards: Uixingwei (central guard) and Yongxiangwei.
(Left Guard), Huben Guard (right guard), Zhongzuowei (avant-garde) and Zhongwuwei (rearguard). There are Bingcao and Wuweidu general offices in the center to be in charge of military affairs and military orders. In peacetime, the five guards take turns to undertake the task of guarding the palace.
; During the war, the Five Guards went to the front line to fight.
Does it look familiar? Of course it does. North Korea's five-guard system is highly similar to the Ming Dynasty's guard system. It is a military system that combines soldiers and farmers. The personnel are farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. The soldiers need food, clothing, and weapons.
All supplies are self-sufficient, so the country does not have the financial burden of raising troops.
After Emperor Taizong of Korea came to the throne, he not only achieved the separation of military and political power in central institutions through the abolition of the private military system and two central reforms, but also disintegrated the pattern of heroes "sitting together" to control state affairs.
Since it is a Wei system, and its establishment date is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, then by the time of the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, the domestic peace has been long-lasting, the military equipment has been slack, and "people don't know the soldiers." Isn't it normal? Therefore, the Five Guards
At this point, the process is basically complete.
However, after the Imjin Japanese Rebellion broke out, North Korea discovered that the original regular army was all rubbish. Especially after North Korea's northern cavalry, which was equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's elite nine-border cavalry, lost 7,788, it was unable to begin to reorganize the army. At the beginning, the method
Relatively retro - I hope to restore the five-bath system.
This idea quickly went bankrupt, because the five-guard system required land for sergeants, but there was no land to be divided during the Korean War. During the truce, some idle land was quickly acquired by the "two squads of men" through various means. This kind of military
Where can the garrison system be established?
If you can't do it, you have to think of another way. This way is also based on the Ming Dynasty: imitating the servant system.
Why was Quan Li able to become the capital marshal and lead the "last elite" that the Joseon court had finally integrated? The reason was that Quan Li's family had a high status and a strong family background, and they had built up a relatively large team of servants. At the same time, they could
He called on other generals from Spain and placed them and their servants under his command.
However, servants and servants also have different levels of skill. Faced with Zhang Wanbang's thunderous blow, Quan Li's troops were completely defeated, and Quan Li himself was finished. However, the servant system has its own uniqueness, so in the end, in addition to following Quan Li's most determined team
Except for the first batch of generals, the remaining generals were retained in their posts and continued to lead the headquarters, at the cost of being sent south to follow the Ming army's attack.
In addition to them, those generals who were designated as "rebellious" should naturally be beheaded or exiled, and their servants were taken advantage of by the North Korean court - or to put it bluntly, the Northerners Party.
He was commanded by a general from the Northern People's Party.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Obviously, this general from the Northern People's Party is the Gyeongsang Zudo soldier Yuhou Quan Yingxin who was used by the Overlord this time. Seriously speaking,
Quan Yingxin's good luck was also due to the fact that there were few generals under the command of the Northern People's Party.
After Liu Chenglong and Quan Li's plan failed, the Northern People's Party picked up a "ownerless" army of about 6,000 people. However, looking at the Spanish generals under his command, it was surprising that only Quan Yingxin could barely command so many.
People - in fact, they are very reluctant, and they have to follow the troop arrangement before the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. He is only a mere soldier of Gyeongsang Zudo, Yuhou, who is qualified to command an army of 6,000.
Next, Kwon Ying-shim did not perform particularly noteworthy on the battlefield, but Ma Gui mentioned it in the first battle report of the attack on Ulsan, saying that Kwon Ying-shim fought relatively bravely and was killed at that time.
More than two hundred people did not collapse.
Well, "the loss of more than 200 people has not yet collapsed" may seem a bit ridiculous. In fact, it is not easy for the North Korean army. Ma Gui did not mean to be sarcastic, because judging from the past battlefield performance of the North Korean army,
Often losing dozens of people would lead to collapse, so Kwon Ying-shim was considered to be "good at running the army" in the North Korean army.
Gao Pragmatic did not just issue this order. In addition to adjustments to the Korean army, he also issued a series of orders to make adjustments to the Ming army.
The first is Magui's headquarters, that is, in the direction of Ulsan. High pragmatism requires Magui to assemble the army on the spot in Ulsan and prepare for another battle. However, there is no need to rush to launch a new round of offensive for the time being, but to wait for the replenishment of logistics supplies and the targeting of other directions.
Sexual arrangements are in place.
Then there is the Gimhae front line, which is Liu Wei's troops. Liu Wei's troops had already advanced to the foot of Yangsan Castle during the previous Battle of Ulsan. This place is located between Gimhae and Ulsan. Apparently, like Ulsan, the Japanese castle has been repaired.
However, the original city of Liangshan was in the plain area at the foot of the mountain. The Japanese city was mainly considered to defend against the artillery that the Ming army had an absolute advantage, so it was built on the mountain to the east of the original city. This made Liu Wei's attack on the main city of Liangshan quite smooth.
, but then he also faced the same trouble as Ma Gui, that is, it was very difficult to capture the Japanese city.
According to Liu Wei's report to Gao Pangshi, he believed that although the Japanese city in Liangshan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was still relatively easier to fight than Hailongdun. If he was given tens of thousands of troops to attack in turns, he would suddenly send out elite troops after a weak and strong attack.
A sneak attack would still have a good chance of success. The only problem was that Liu Wei believed that the Ming army would lose no less than 5,000 men if they attacked like this.
Seeing such battle reports, Gao Pragmatic had to lament that in the original history, the Ming army was unable to make a move when it reached the vicinity of Busan, and even suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Ulsan and the Second Battle of Ulsan. That's really
It cannot be entirely blamed on Yang Hao's incompetence.
Yang Hao was incompetent, but at this time the Japanese army's troop density was already very high, and this southeastern corner had been carefully built by them for several years. In particular, the Japanese city made it difficult for the Ming army's artillery to function, which made the Ming army very uncomfortable.
It's not that strange if you don't play well.
This is like if you asked the German army during World War I not to use artillery, then their performance would probably not be much better than the elite third town of Beiyang.
Normal people would find their daily life seriously inconvenient if an arm was suddenly injured, not to mention that an army accustomed to attacking cities with artillery blasts suddenly couldn't use artillery?
Even so, it was difficult for Gao Pragmatic to support the idea of losing 5,000 men and storming Liangshan, especially when the Ming army's plan was to attack Ulsan first.
After Ulsan was defeated, Ma Gui and Liu Wei could attack Liangshan together, so Gao Pragmatic told Liu Wei not to worry.
But now Ulsan couldn't win for a while, especially since Hideaki Kobayakawa brought an elite team to help, so Gao Pangshi had to change his mind.
He ordered Liu Wei to increase the intensity of the attack on Liangshan, but the prerequisite was that the momentum should be large and the losses should be small. After receiving the order, Liu Wei immediately understood Gao Pragmatic's intention: this was to force Hideaki Kobayakawa not to stay in Ulsan, and he had to be
Attracted to Yangshan. However, Liu Wei was not sure whether Gao Pangshi wanted to ambush Kobayakawa Hideaki between Ulsan and Yangshan.
In fact, Gao Pangshi did have this plan, and this was the order he issued to Li Rumei's department alone.
From the fact that Li Rumei's troops were doing nothing in the Battle of Dosan, it can be seen that Li Rumei's troops will hardly be useful in the subsequent battles of the Battle of Ulsan. After all, his troops are mainly cavalry, and it is indeed not his turn to attack the city.
Gao Jingshi did not intend to idle such a powerful cavalry force, so he came up with the idea of attracting Kobayakawa Hideaki's tribe out of the city and fighting him in a field battle of annihilation. If it could be done, this would even be "defeat each other" to a certain extent, and it could achieve "
It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them."
