Chapter 757: The estrangement is fierce and the generals are attacking in the east and west
The Japanese pirates couldn't understand why Qi Jiguang, already the most powerful daimyo in the Ming Dynasty, hadn't raised his sword to Luo, entered the capital, raised the emperor, and became shogun himself. Therefore, Terumoto Mori, Hideyoshi Hashiba, Kiyomasa Kato, and Nagamasa Kuroda These people hope to talk to Qi Jiguang.
Advise Qi Jiguang to turn his gun.
The Japanese country is always like this. They like to use themselves to save others. If they want to go to Luo with a sword, they feel that Qi Jiguang should do the same.
Liang Menglong is a civil servant, and Li Yougong is a Daxian, and is also His Majesty's sparring partner. In this way, even if they talk, it is not a secret contact between Qi Jiguang and Japanese pirates. This is an upright official business.
The location of the negotiation was naturally in Kaicheng, not Seoul. The generals of the Ming Dynasty would not go deep into dangerous areas and give the Japanese pirates this opportunity. Of course, the Japanese pirates did not have such unrealistic dreams, but sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty account.
The Japanese envoy was named Toda Katsutaka. He defected to Hashiba Hideyoshi in Himeji Castle and later became one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Hashiba Hideyoshi. Because of his bravery in battle, he was awarded the title of Lord of Osu Castle, Kita County, Iyo Province with twenty thousand koku. The high stone system adopted by the Japanese country, The 20,000 shi are both salary and military service. The 10,000 shi fiefdom can usually collect 5,000 shi in taxes, and the additional military service is 2,000 shi.
But due to various reasons, ten thousand dan actually only leads to about 800 military service. Because a soldier who is half-peasant and half-army without participating in the war will consume six dan of food a year. If he goes to war, it will only be more. For ten thousand dan, The fiefdom only had a tax of 5,000 dan, and it was already too difficult to support 800 people.
As the landowner of the castle, Katsutaka Toda could collect a tax of 10,000 koku a year and support about 1,500 ashigaru and samurai.
Toda Katsutaka is carrying a very strange red cloak. The Japanese country calls this kind of cloak a mother's coat. It is made of red cloth stretched into a ball with a bamboo frame. This ball is a symbol of status, and in actual combat, it can prevent stray arrows. , when galloping, the mother's coat will stretch up, just like a snail carrying a snail shell, which looks a bit funny.
It's really hard for Daming to understand. Apart from being a burden, this thing doesn't seem to have any positive effect.
This means that Toda Katsutaka was born in the Red Muyi clan and was a messenger who shuttled on the battlefield. He rushed to the Imjin River with seven such cavalry. Because of the existence of the Muyi, the Ming army knew that these people were here for peace talks. , so they did not fire cannons to kill them. At Mashan Pavilion, the Ming army sent a hundred cavalry to send them across the river to Kaicheng City.
The reason why Qi Jiguang, Liang Menglong, and Li Yougong agreed to the peace talks was actually very simple. They asked the Japanese pirates to send Duntai Yuanhou, whom they had captured on South Korea's Fourth Road, back to the Ming Dynasty. Duntai Yuanhou was behind enemy lines and needed to contact the Korean rebels and collect information. intelligence.
Katsutaka Toda dismounted at the foot of Kaesong Castle. Along the way, Katsutaka Toda's face became extremely solemn. Kaesong is the front line and there shouldn't be so many people here. But along the way, Katsutaka Toda saw the bridges and roads being built. , and the fields on both sides of the road were full of crops, and Kaicheng did not even delay summer planting.
This means that North Koreans believe that Japanese pirates cannot invade as long as the soldiers are there. This place has turned from a war zone into a home again, so they are willing to come back.
This kind of belief means that the Ming army's campaign here is not an away battle like the Japanese pirates. You must know that no one dares to cultivate the farmland around Seoul, and even the Koreans around Seoul have fled.
After an extremely tedious inspection, Toda Katsutaka entered Shouchang Palace with three samurai. Toda Katsutaka saw a newly built palace. Although it had not been built yet, a sign had been put up: Tongheden.
The great construction of Tonghe Hall was mainly due to the Ming army building some official factories such as lime, iron smelting and brick kilns in order to win over the defeated refugees. In order to prevent these official factories from running out of work, they built such a large-scale construction project to support them. The start of Zhuguanchang can be regarded as the experience of creating Beijing as a capital. If you want to restore the vitality of a place, you need some investment.
Tonghedian's meaning couldn't be clearer, even Taixi's red-haired fans would flatter him.
Toda Katsutaka entered the door, looked at Qi Jiguang sitting in the middle, stretched out his hand, stared, and said loudly: "Qi Jiguang, surrender!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the big tent looked at the Japanese envoy in stunned silence. Was he awake, or was he crazy? Everyone is on the front line and knows everything about the situation on the battlefield. Go to the main tent of the Ming Army and ask Feng Guo Gong Qi Jiguang to surrender?
To be really confident, you still have to look at Japanese pirates.
"Uh..." Qi Jiguang didn't know how to answer for a while, because the words were too abstract for him to answer.
"If you come to vote, wouldn't it be wonderful if you and I joined forces to attack the capital and seize the throne of the emperor?" Toda Katsutaka knew that his words were unreasonable, but this was his strategy. Tian's speech takes the initiative in negotiations.
Qi Jiguang asked curiously: "Oh? What if I go to the capital and seize the throne from His Majesty? What benefits will I get?"
Toda Katsutaka said with great conviction: "Of course I will be the king of Guan Bai Zhang!"
Qi Jiguang looked at Liang Menglong and Li Yougong. The three of them looked at each other, and then burst into laughter. Li Yougong even laughed forward and backward, until he started coughing, he stopped holding on to the armrest of the seat.
Qi Jiguang pointed at himself and said: "Why don't I serve as the leader of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts and become that traitor, and then just for the sake of being the king of the Ming Dynasty? I am the Duke of Feng, the general of the Ming Dynasty. In military affairs, Your Majesty Leave almost everything to me.”
"Are you crazy, or am I crazy?"
"If Commander Qi wants to be the emperor, that's fine. We will take Commander Qi as our king!" Upon seeing this, Katsutaka Toda said immediately.
"Oh, it turns out it's a divorce plan." Qi Jiguang smiled and understood why Toda Katsutaka made such outrageous remarks.
This was the reason why Qi Jiguang refused to see the Japanese envoys before. He was worried about alienation plots. The Japanese pirates tried their best, and the cheap Confucianists in the court clamored that Qi Jiguang had the idea of self-reliance. The Ming army would be in big trouble. The Confucian Confucianists were fiercer than tigers, and there were rumors. Can kill people.
The divorce plan is of course easy to use, but it is not very applicable to Qi Jiguang and His Majesty.
The Confucian scholars did not intend to cooperate. Even when they were fighting abroad, the Confucian scholars were very taboo about Qi Jiguang's affairs and would not talk about it if they could.
Qi Jiguang's temples were already gray. He leaned back in his chair and said with memories: "In the first year of Wanli, I ambushed Tuman Khan at Xifengkou, captured Dong Hu's nephew, and killed more than four thousand people of Dong Hu. , at that time, I went to Beijing to receive the reward, and your Majesty granted me the title of moving to Anbo, with an annual salary of 800 shi."
"Even Yuan Fu didn't know that your majesty wanted to make me an earl and take charge of the capital camp again. I am orphaned and widowed, my young master is in doubt, and a general with a foreign surname is lying on the couch with a large number of soldiers in the capital."
"Your Majesty did it. At that time, Your Majesty was probably only this tall and stubborn. He was forcing Ti Commander Zhu Xixiao to practice martial arts."
At that time, Qi Jiguang could still draw the Tiger Power Bow, beat Li Rusong, and gallop hundreds of miles. Now, he spends more time riding in a car than riding a horse, and he is getting old.
In fact, Qi Jiguang knew very well that at that time, His Majesty gave him his life in exchange for Ming Zhenwu and a possible future.
The strong army is in the capital, and it is not unheard of for Zhao Kuangyin to wear a yellow robe. Supporting the Jade Dragon to die for the emperor is very likely to lead to the support of the Jade Dragon to Qingjun's side. The army is the most intuitive violence.
Qi Jiguang showed a smile, very bright, as bright as His Majesty's smile.
He continued: "Later, Zhu Xixiao died of illness, and I began to teach His Majesty martial arts. His Majesty was still very fat at that time. Just like today, when it is so hot, he would stand in the martial arts room and practice martial arts. He would never be lazy and sweat like rain. Flowing down in strands ”
"I have been leading soldiers for more than 40 years, and I have never seen a soldier who is not lazy. They are all human beings, and laziness is human nature."
"Every time he goes on an expedition, His Majesty will go to the Beida camp to see him off, and he will also push the wheel according to the ancient ritual. When the Beijing camp is fighting outside, His Majesty will write letters to the front line. They are either imperial edicts or edicts, just letters, telling me about the affairs of the Capital camp. , His Majesty said that he was bullied by the humble Confucians.”
"When I returned to the capital in a rage, I discovered that it was Your Majesty who was bullying the humble Confucians, and those Confucians could not defend Your Majesty at all."
"I am a martial artist, relatively simple. There is nothing more than loyalty and righteousness in life."
Qi Jiguang said it more plainly, but everyone in the military tent in Shouchang Palace knew very well that the friendship between Qi Jiguang and His Majesty was not just as simple as a monarch and his ministers. Your Majesty has nothing to do with Qi Jiguang. If Qi Jiguang changes sides, it will really be a disaster. He conquered the capital and sat on the throne, but no one recognized him.
"Your divorce plan is very good, but it is of no use to me." Qi Jiguang sat up straight and said with great conviction. He believed in His Majesty just as His Majesty believed in him.
"I've told you the principles of a man's life, but you won't understand." Liang Menglong said with a smile: "Let's talk about something useful."
Liang Menglong, as a civil servant, stood in his position. He did not want to see the emperor and Qi Shuai fighting. If there was a fight, how could His Majesty and Qi Shuai not know about it? But a cheap Confucian must die, so no matter how cheap a Confucian is, he will die. , I don’t dare to talk about it, I really can’t talk nonsense about this.
When someone accuses you of planning to rebel, you'd better really have the strength to rebel, then no one will accuse you.
"I brought seven conditions." Toda Katsutaka carefully prepared a big job, but it was like being kicked directly on a stone with his bare feet. He grinned in pain. He failed in one plan and then made another one.
"Let me take a look." Qi Jiguang picked up the letter, read it for a moment, handed it to Liang Menglong and said, "Japanese pirates come from a large country, Governor Liang, don't be angry."
Liang Menglong only glanced at it, slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Toda Katsutaka's nose, and said sternly: "This is simply unreasonable! Why don't you drown yourself!"
"How dare you put forward such conditions? A rat has skin, but a human has no manners! Without a father and a king, he is just like a beast!"
Why don't you take a picture of yourself by drowning? Why don't you take a picture of yourself by peeing? How dare you make such a condition to Ming Dynasty!
Liang Menglong was a scholar. He never used bad words on weekdays. Such straightforward scolding was a disgrace to politeness.
Liang Menglong was angry. This was because Qi Jiguang had reminded him that these Japanese pirates had grown up and were mentally prepared, but they were still furious.
There are seven conditions for the peace talks sent by Hideyoshi Hashiba: the daughter of the Ming Emperor will enter the Japanese country and become the emperor and empress; five Japanese pavilions will be established along the coast for trade; four roads south of Kaesong, from Kaesong to Busan, will be cut off. Transferred to the Japanese state; the Korean royal family, civil and military classes, etc. were returned to the Japanese state; North Korea compensated the Japanese state for 5 million silver for military expenses; North Korea became a vassal state of the Japanese state, and the Ming Dynasty allowed North Korea to break away from the vassal state;
Even with the first one, Liang Menglong was already so angry that he couldn't find the north. Each of these seven was too much!
"This is so unreasonable, so unreasonable! Come here! Pull it out and cut it into pieces!" Liang Menglong was really furious, his eyes were red, and he said angrily.
"Governor Liang, be patient and don't be impatient, be patient and don't be impatient." Qi Jiguang looked at Toda Katsutaka and said with a smile: "Is this a way to provoke the general? You are quite courageous."
"How to stimulate generals..." Liang Menglong was a little annoyed.
Knowing that these Japanese pirates are very vicious, they actually fell into the trap!
When the Ming Dynasty was waiting for the sky, Incheon was not easy to get from the sea, so they had to wait for the Imjin River to freeze and get it from the ground. If it continued like this, the Japanese pirates would be anxious, and the city was of no use to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had one hundred and twenty If Chen Lin was willing to remove the 30-pound naval gun from the ship and attack the city, the Japanese pirates would be unable to stop it.
The Ming army knew it, and the Japanese pirates actually knew it too.
Therefore, the Japanese pirates used the method of provoking the generals to arouse the anger of the Ming army, causing the Ming army to advance and retreat, arousing the anger of the Ming emperor, and asking the Ming emperor to urge him strictly, so that the war would occur at the right time and place that was favorable to them.
Liang Menglong, a scholar, fell into the trap.
The strategy was excellent, but Qi Jiguang played an impeccable card, which made Katsutaka Toda a little embarrassed.
"I'm already old, and my temples are all white. It doesn't seem like it's good for you to provoke me." Qi Jiguang looked at Li Rusong and said, "General Li, you have the most irritable temperament. You can't provoke a general like this." , the most effective for you, remember to think of what happened today when you are angry in the future.”
"I took note of it," Li Rusong said quickly. He had keenly noticed something was wrong just now, but his anger had already shaken his reason to the point of collapse. He originally planned to ask for a fight, but he held back because something was wrong.
Now, Qi Jiguang's advice was engraved in his heart like a brand.
Qi Jiguang said with great satisfaction: "General Li, you are going to be a general. If you are irritable and frivolous, you may not be able to take on a big position. But you have dealt with these problems very well over the years."
"Following Qi Shuai for fourteen years, I always have to learn something, otherwise my father will break my legs." Li Rusong said quickly.
Qi Jiguang's expression was full of amusement. He looked at Katsutaka Toda and said, "It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to agree to the conditions you proposed, so it is a method of provoking generals. Do you have anything else to say?"
"This is our condition!" Toda Katsutaka said loudly. Qi Jiguang spread his hands and said: "You mean to say that the Japanese pirates are so arrogant that they still want the Ming to bow down when they are defeated one after another? Ask yourself, do you think you are worthy? Is the Japanese worthy of the Ming to bow down?"
Qi Jiguang discussed this very serious issue with the Japanese pirates from the perspective of his strength and position. The Japanese pirates were not worthy of the Ming Dynasty.
"Too much bullying!" Toda Katsutaka's face turned red, as if he was so angry that he lost his mind due to Qi Jiguang's words. He said sternly: "Qi Shuai, the Ming Dynasty is indeed tyrannical, but we Japanese are not vegetarians! Your Excellency humiliates the envoy like this. , wait for us to launch an attack! Let’s teach Qi Shuai how powerful he is!”
"Oh." Qi Jiguang replied calmly: "Let's see the guests off."
"Hmph! I hope Qi Shuai can still be so calm when he is beheaded by his horse in the future!" Toda Katsutaka was made even more defensive by this calm answer!
Because Qi Jiguang held his war letter in contempt, it was obvious that Qi Jiguang despised the Japanese pirates from the bottom of his heart.
Qi Jiguang couldn't look down on the Japanese pirates. He was nearly seven feet tall, and Katsutaka Toda was less than five feet tall. When he jumped, he couldn't hit Qi Jiguang's knees. Qi Jiguang could only look down while sitting.
The Japanese pirates these days are really short.
When Toda Katsutaka saw Qi Jiguang ignoring him, he tossed his sleeves and left angrily.
Qi Jiguang waited until Katsutaka Toda left, stood in front of the map, looked at it for a moment, picked up the command stick, pointed at Yizhou and said, "This is the key."
"Yizhou is in our hinterland." Chen Dacheng reminded Qi Jiguang that Yizhou is now completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. How can Yizhou be the key to this battle?
Qi Jiguang nodded to Yizhou again and said: "As soon as Toda Katsutaka entered the door, he asked me to surrender, and then said that we would work together for a great cause. This was a stratagem to alienate people. When the separation failed, he immediately put forward conditions that Ming Dynasty could not agree to. This is Regardless of whether we will be stimulated by the provoking method, his words just now are also the ultimate purpose of his coming this time, making us mistakenly think that Kaicheng is the main battlefield. "
"If I were a Japanese pirate, facing a line of musketeers, the only key to my victory would be to burn down the Ming Dynasty's granary, and Yiju is our granary."
Qi Jiguang's favorite way to fight is to think from the other side's perspective. If I were the enemy, how should I win against the Ming army? Every time I think about it from the other side's perspective, the purpose of every move made by the opponent becomes very clear.
"He can still fly over Kaesong and Pyongyang to Uiju to burn our granaries?" Chen Dacheng looked very confused.
Qi Jiguang sighed and said: "Li Huo."
"The Japanese pirates must have contacted Li Hao. As long as Mashanguan, Linjin, and Kaicheng are fighting, Li Hao, the Korean clan, the civil and military classes, and the Chinese will definitely take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty army has no time to worry about it. When Hwarang rebels, as long as the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder, grain and grass are used, the pressure on the Seoul defense line in Incheon will be much less."
Due to the poor performance of the Joseon royal family, the prestige of the Joseon royal family plummeted, but the civil and military yangban, the middlemen, and the Hwarangs who fled with the royal family could only go to the dark side. Once the Ming Dynasty achieved absolute victory on the Korean battlefield, the Joseon royal family was Abolition became an absolute foregone conclusion.
Li Ao is willing, but the Korean clan, civil and military classes will not be willing to do so. They will definitely use all means at their disposal to prevent the Ming Dynasty from achieving complete victory, even if Li Ao goes to Kyoto of Japan to join Luo, even if Li Ao He would not hesitate to change his name to Yuan Huo.
"Separating enemies, provoking generals, making false accusations in the east and attacking in the west, building plank roads openly and secretly to assassinate Chencang, this is a series of schemes." Li Rusong said with a frown.
Obviously, all this was planned by the Japanese pirates. As long as the Ming Dynasty accepted those few Duntai Yuanhou, the Ming Dynasty as the kingdom of heaven, and the Ming army as the king's division, they would definitely agree to talk.
This set of serial schemes is full of falsehoods and realisms, making it difficult for people to guard against.
"After all the agencies, I'll go back to Yizhou." Zu Chengxun took the initiative to ask for orders. He took two Liao cavalry battalions back to Yizhou, with a total of 6,000 people, to guard against possible changes.
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "You take two Liao battalions to Pyongyang and leave Uiju to Yi Sunshin. Pyongyang still has gunpowder and baggage, enough for three months. If you protect Pyongyang, you will protect the needs of the front line."
Li Rusong immediately said: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to leave Yizhou to Yi Shunchen? Indeed, Yi Shunchen broke one of Li Xin's legs, but if this was a trick to win the trust of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Shunchen cooperated with Li Xin to cause chaos, What to do?”
"We can't lose Yizhou. Why don't I return to Yizhou with a cavalry battalion, or let Ma Lin and Zhao Ji bring a cavalry battalion back to Yizhou in case something changes."
Yizhou was the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty. Once it was lost, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to obtain food and grass from Tianjin Prefecture.
"The cavalry camp must stay on the front. The Japanese can feint if they want to attack? They have no say whether to feint or not. On the battlefield, we have the final say! As long as we defeat the enemy on the front, the Incheon defenders will have to rush to help Seoul. This is the time to land in Incheon." Qi Jiguang pointed at the location of Incheon.
After being defeated like a mountain, the Japanese pirates wanted to seize chestnuts from the fire, and they were obsessed with the Ming Dynasty's food and grass, so they gave it to them. The Ming Dynasty went straight to Incheon. If they captured Incheon, they could also get supplies from the sea.
"Take Incheon?" Li Rusong's eyes lit up. Qi Jiguang took advantage of the situation and turned the feint attack into a decisive battle. Everything became reasonable.
Uiju is really lost. As long as we win the frontal battle, everything is easy to say. Even if we lose the frontal battle, we will lose the rear. Forty thousand Jingying and 20,000 Liao battalions can defeat the deposed king of Korea. It is extremely easy.
The worst case scenario is to do it all over again.
Wang Rulong's eyes flashed with excitement and said: "They usually hide in the bastard shells of Imjin River, Incheon, and Seoul and refuse to come out. Now if they stick their heads out, they will be chopped off by them!"
Incheon is the place with the hardest shell. With its geographical advantages, it is really difficult for the Ming Dynasty to regain Seoul at a relatively small cost when Tianshi is not around.
Qi Jiguang's orders were laid out like running water, ten infantry battalions began to be mobilized, Zu Chengxun began to move to Pyongyang, and a steady stream of intelligence from the Ming Dynasty was sent to Shouchang Palace, confirming that Qi Jiguang's judgment was completely correct.
"This Li Hao!" Liang Menglong clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.
Based on some sporadic spies arrested in Uiju and Pyongyang, it was determined that the Civil and Military Squadrons were indeed planning a big operation recently. The evidence that finally made the matter final was a blood edict from Li Huo that was seized in Pyongyang. , Li Hao and the Japanese pirates formed a blood alliance.
This alliance letter was actually written in Seoul.
According to the accounts of the arrested North Korean businessmen, the Japanese pirates never forgot the burning of Ming Dynasty grain and grass.
Qi Jiguang flipped through the Tang newspaper and said: "When Li Huo was still in Seoul, he had already started to contact the Japanese pirates. First it was Governor Konishi, and later Kato Kiyomasa. The Korean Civil and Military Team, headed by Liu Chenglong, actually The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and whoever wins will help him. ”
"Not providing food and grass to the Ming army is the way to balance the two classes of North Korea's civil and military forces. It weakens the strength of the Ming army. It is a shameful thing."
Li Huo's behavior can be explained in the struggle volume. The ruling class will use all available means to maintain its dominance, even including betrayal of the ethnic group. This has been repeated over and over again in the colonial history of Western Europe for more than a hundred years. prove.
It is rare to die standing and bring a successful end to one's dominance.
"It seems a little too late now. Whether Yi Sun-shin betrayed or not, strength will speak for itself on the battlefield." Qi Jiguang put away the newspaper. Forty years of military service told him that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain.
Qi Jiguang left the Chinese army's tent and made preparations for the war. The affairs of Yizhou could only be left to the garrison and Yi Sun-shin.
"Report!" A fast rider rushed to Yijuzhou Yamen. The horses were dripping with blood. It was obvious that the fast rider used a dagger to drive the exhausted horses to continue running in order to hurry. After the quick rider turned over and dismounted, the horse was crooked. He fell to the ground, vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and could no longer move.
"General, quick report!" The cavalryman was a Korean. After handing a mailbox sealed with lacquer to Yi Sun-shin, he coughed twice and fell weakly to the ground.
"General, I believe..." After the cavalryman said this, he closed his eyes and showed a relieved smile. After twitching twice, he stopped moving.
Only then did Yi Sunchen see that the cavalryman had two broken arrows stuck on his body, one on his leg and one on his back. The ability to hold it up to this point was already the limit of this cavalryman.
Fortunately, the letter was delivered.
Yi Sunchen didn't care about the cavalry. He opened the letter, his expression changed drastically, and his hand holding the quiver was shaking.
"Come here, order the generals of each battalion to come to the tent to discuss matters!" Yi Shunchen waited for half a stick of incense. He looked at the few seats that were missing and knew that they would not come.
Yi Sunchen said with a cold face: "The deposed king Li Yu colluded with the Japanese pirates! The evidence is conclusive, and he intends to capture Yizhou after sunset today and burn the Ming Dynasty's grain, grass and gunpowder reserves!"
"Wonjun!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead people to close all the city gates immediately! No entry or exit is allowed without military orders!"
"Yes!"
"Li Yiqi!"
"The end is here!"
"Immediately search for all members of the civil and military squads, and don't let anyone go!"
"The last general takes command!"
……
It only took Yi Sun-shin two quarters of an hour from receiving the dispatch to mobilizing the troops. However, when the troops began to mobilize, a thunderous roar came from the direction of the gunpowder magazine, proving that the civil and military squadrons were unwilling to lose their power. Action started in advance.
"Kill!"
Cries of killing filled the entire Yiju City, and fighting began.
After fighting from dusk to noon of the next day, Yi Sun-shin's face was covered with blood. He dragged his tired body and looked at Li Hao, Liu Chenglong and others who had been surrounded. He was so exhausted that he sat directly on the ground. The enemy has no power to resist.
Yi Sun-shin, who had been killing all night, was already a little numb, but he was still full of puzzlement. He asked in a low voice with an extremely hoarse voice: "Why."
He raised his voice and shouted almost at the top of his lungs: "Why! You are the king of North Korea!"
