My life skills in Daming Liver

The leader of North Korea, Li Zong, was also very decisive. He had lived in the fierce political struggles of the North Korean court since he was a child, and had been manipulated by his mother and relatives of his mother's family for many years. He knew these ministers in his court very well.

If it's about internal fighting, these guys are first-rate experts.

But to deal with foreign enemies and expect them to work together, forget it.

Li Hong also knew that they were reluctant to give up their interests in Seoul, and it was impossible for them to follow him to Pyongyang.

Li Hong knew very well that the only one who could save his life now and was willing to help North Korea was the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and directly announced the disbandment of the dynasty, and then asked Li Liang to quickly organize the manpower. On the same day, he took the gold and silver of the Joseon Dynasty and a series of treasures and headed north from Seoul to Pyongyang.

When the ministers discovered that the king had fled, the whole city of Seoul was in chaos.

The king of the country ran away, and so did the leader and ministers. The remaining two groups of nobles began to quarrel day and night, but still no results came from the quarrel.

Not even able to elect one person to go out of town to negotiate.

The situation on Yi Sun-shin's side was actually not much better.

Although Incheon is very close to Seoul, the surrounding roads are not easy to walk, and Yi Sun-shin's map is not accurate.

Yi Sun-shin marched overnight, and some of the Jeju Island troops even got separated.

By the time Yi Sun-shin arrived at the gates of Seoul, it was already the night of the second day.

Naturally, there was no way to attack the city at night, so Yi Sun-shin could only order the soldiers to camp outside the city, and then send people into Seoul to persuade them to surrender.

Kinoshita Tokichiro volunteered, and Yi Sun-shin was worried that he could not speak Korean, so he asked a member of the Progress Association to go to the city to persuade him to surrender.

Unexpectedly, the messenger who persuaded him to surrender entered Seoul, and the news he brought when he left the city shocked Yi Sun-shin.

The leader of North Korea, Li Zong, had already fled north. This result was in the calculation of the group of staff from the southeast.

The combat staff in the southeast have long predicted that the most favorable choice for the North Korean leader after the landing at Incheon is to go north.

The result now is that the leader of North Korea fled north, and Seoul was leaderless. The envoys who persuaded them to surrender entered the city and circled around, but they couldn't find anyone who could stand up and surrender on behalf of Seoul!

Even Kinoshita Tokichiro found this result incredible.

After feeling unbelievable, Kinoshita Tokichiro became deeply envious.

North Korea is such a rubbish, but it can enjoy peace for two hundred years. This is all due to the Central Plains!

And this time Yi Sun-shin revolted in Korea and joined the southeastern system at this time, wouldn't it be possible to enjoy peace for hundreds of years?

Kinoshita Tokichiro once again thought of his hometown. The Japanese country had never been protected by the light of the Central Plains precisely because it was too far away from the Central Plains. It had always been in turmoil and has not been calmed down to this day.

And seeing that the Southeast is rapidly expanding its territory, after the Central Plains are unified, if the Japanese surrender at that time, will they still get the treatment of North Korea?

For the first time, Kinoshita Tokichiro began to think about the future of his country.

Geographically, North Korea borders the Central Plains on land and serves as a barrier and trade transit in the northern part of the Central Plains on the sea.

Therefore, North Korea itself does not need to do anything. It can make a full meal by relying on transit trade.

The unique geographical location close to the Central Plains allowed it to be under the protection of the Central Plains dynasty. As long as it showed obedience, it could even avoid defense.

In fact, this is the reason why North Korea's combat effectiveness is so low.

The nomads in northern North Korea were generally blocked by the Liaoxi Town of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army even sent troops to help North Korea sweep away the nomads crossing the border.

In the historical timeline before Su Ze's time travel, during one of Wanli's three major campaigns to resist the Japanese and aid Korea, the Ming court could be said to have sent most of the country's elite to North Korea to help North Korea resist the Japanese attack.

Even this inertia lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty, until the Japanese country rose again after the Meiji Restoration, and once again attacked North Korea just like history repeated itself, but this time the Central Plains regime had declined and it was no longer safe. North Korea then entered the period of nearly a hundred years. colonial era.

Being independent in everything means doing everything yourself.

The pursuit of complete independence is the prerogative of a powerful country.

Small countries like North Korea and Japan don't actually care that much about so-called "independence."

Under the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese even envied North Korea for being able to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and there were even incidents of tribute disputes.

For Kinoshita Tokichiro, small countries like Japan and Korea surrendered to big countries, and under the protection of big countries, they could avoid many detours and save a lot of costs.

Under the new order established under the rise of the Southeast, Japan and North Korea will definitely be an important part and can also receive a lot of benefits.

Seeing that North Korea was about to integrate into the southeastern order, while his motherland was still in chaos, Kinoshita Tokichiro became anxious for no reason.

Yi Sun-shin did not know the anxiety of his companions. He also had to deal with the problem of Seoul.

Looking at the tall walls of Seoul, Yi Sun-shin suddenly understood the meaning of Governor Su's article.

"Refuting the Theory of Quick Victory".

This was an article recently written by Su Ze and published in Southeast's internal journal. It was also delivered to Yi Sun-shin along with the aid supplies from Donghai Trading Company.

Su Ze refuted the current talk of quick victory within Southeast Asia, believing that as long as Southeast Asia mobilized all its troops, it would be able to overthrow the Ming court and completely unify the Central Plains.

Su Ze wrote the article to refute this kind of thinking.

Su Ze pointed out in the article that it would not be difficult to capture the cities controlled by the Ming Dynasty, or even land at Dagu and attack the Ming Dynasty's capital again.

But the war was not just about conquering the city.

Controlling a city, gathering people's hearts, and establishing an organization all require a lot of manpower and material resources.

And to occupy an area as large as the Ming Dynasty all at once, whether the entire Southeast is ready is a question.

If the Southeast is not prepared and takes over Ming Ting's mess, if the Southeast does not do as well as Ming Ting, it will intensify the loss of northern people's hearts and even make the subsequent battle more difficult to fight.

At the same time, in terms of military affairs, any war at the level of annihilation is not decided by a simple victory in a battle.

The so-called turning point of the war is just what historians summarized when it was time to summarize the war.

Even in the Battle of Changping, Qin State rested and recuperated for a long time, and finally suffered a setback in the war to destroy Chu.

The so-called Qin Dynasty went out to Hangu Pass and swept across Liuhe. This is just a romantic way of writing by writers.

In actual wars, victories and defeats accumulate one after another, and in the end they ebb and flow, resulting in a huge gap in strength.

At that time, in fact, the last battle was no longer the decisive battle.

What Su Ze brought up was the war between Wei and Jin to destroy Shu. In fact, before the demise of Shu, the strength of the two sides had already widened a huge gap.

The Shu Kingdom won many times, but lost once and the country was completely destroyed.

As long as Wei and Jin win once, they can destroy Shu.

Today Southeast and Mingting are in such a state.

Su Ze also refuted the "weapons only theory" prevalent in the southeastern military in the article.

This kind of thinking believes that the Southeast's advanced weapons will definitely be invincible, and the strong ships and artillery are the reasons why the Southeast New Army was invincible before.

Su Ze retorted in the article, believing that weapons play a huge role in war. The advancement of weapons has given rise to new combat methods and new tactics.

But it is humans who fight on the battlefield, it is humans who direct operations, and it is humans who control occupied areas and suppress rebellions.

And it was precisely because of the popular support from Zhejiang and Fujian in the south that they were able to defeat the Ming army, which was far more numerous than the southeast, when they raised troops in the southeast.

If you are superstitious about weapons and equipment but do not pay attention to the people's hearts, the result will be the same as the Ming Dynasty.

When Yi Sunchen started reading this article, he didn't feel it. Now, standing under the walls of Seoul, he felt that what Su Ze wrote was true knowledge and insight.

Seoul is already at your fingertips, and it is almost not difficult to capture Seoul.

But what about entering the city?

Seoul is the largest city in North Korea. Looking at the entire Northeast Asia, and even the entire world, Seoul's population will definitely rank among the top 20 in the world.

How to manage such a huge city after entering it?

The leader of North Korea has run away, so we can't still use two groups of nobles to manage Seoul, right?

So what's the point of Yi Sun-shin's statement?

But if there were no two groups of nobles to govern Seoul, would Yi Sun-shin count on these brothers brought from Yangshan or the North Korean refugees who fled to Jeju Island?

For the first time, Yi Sun-shin became distressed that he was advancing too quickly.

After holding it in all morning, Yi Sun-shin finally came up with a solution.

He sent people into the city again and announced that he would abolish the Korean royal family and abolish all the privileges of the two classes of nobles. After entering the city, he would confiscate the properties of the two classes of nobles.

After this order was issued, people in Seoul were immediately panicked.

Yi Sun-shin besieged Seoul, but pretended that his troops were insufficient and deliberately reduced his troops in the north of the city.

Sure enough, when they discovered that Yi Sun-shin was not going to order the two nobles to be ordered to peace, these idiots finally gave up their luck.

But they did not have the ability and courage to continue to defend the city, so they finally rushed out of Seoul from the North Gate.

Yi Sun-shin ordered the army to pursue them symbolically, forcing the fleeing nobles to leave some of their treasures behind, even as he tacitly agreed to let them leave.

At this moment, those people in Seoul immediately began to flee with a tacit understanding, and some families would even deliberately leave some jewelry behind the convoy as money for traveling.

Yi Sun-shin's second step was to convene members of the Progressive Association near Seoul and representatives of major academies to hold a meeting outside Seoul to discuss how to take over Seoul.

At this time, news of the big explosion in Wang Gong Factory had spread to the southeast.

Chief Minister Xu Wei rushed into the Governor's Mansion with the intelligence, only to see Su Ze playing with a sapling in the yard.
