Yang Hao and Ma Gui sat down in the two seats at Zhu Changluo's lower head. However, Yang Hao was not sitting steadily like Ma Gui. He sat on the chair for most of his butt, looking reserved and respectful to show his attitude towards Zhu Changluo.

After the two sat down, Zhu Changluo handed the specially screened information about Japan's re-invasion of North Korea to Zou Yi standing behind, and said to Yang Hao and Ma Gui with a smile: "Two lords, now Lord Suo is still in the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Liaodong. Two lords are there for North Korea, so my father and I are very relieved. However, although the war has started since the beginning of this year, they were just a small fight. They were only wandering around Busan due to insufficient troops. However, since June, Japan may have realized that it has sufficient troops, or because of the continuous increase in troops in the Ming Dynasty, it has made him feel worried, so they accelerated the progress of the war. More than 100,000 troops were heading straight from the Busan area to Seoul. It can be said that the war has really arrived, and it is not the previous temptation attack."

Although we already know that Japan has begun to march on a large scale since this month, when Zhu Changluo said that more than 100,000 troops from the other side were coming towards Seoul, Yang Hao and Ma Gui frowned. However, the difference is that Yang Hao frowned a little and was a little frowning. After Ma Gui frowned slightly, he looked eager to try his hand. Only war can reflect the value of a soldier. Ma Gui probably doesn't want Li Rusong, who was as famous as "East Li and West Ma", was beautiful before. Since the end of the First Korean War, Li Rusong, as one of the commanders in the Korean battlefield, has long surpassed Ma Gui.

After seeing the subtle differences between the two's expressions, although they were not obvious, Zhu Changluo still saw the differences and smiled in his heart. His favor for Ma Gui increased a lot: "Two sirs, this is some information about Japan collected by the Prince's Jinyiwei, which may be of some use to the two sirs."

Zou Yi had already walked behind Yang Hao and Ma Gui at this time, and smiled and gently placed the information in his hand on the coffee table between them, and then returned to behind Zhu Changluo.

"With His Highness, with Your Highness's support, even if there are so many people coming to Japan, it will be useless. We will definitely ask them to come and go, and give them a deep lesson to let them know the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and the courage of your Highness." Yang Hao did not pick up the information on the coffee table at the first time, but first hugged Zhu Changluo and said respectfully.

Ma Gui sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to come to Korea as a general in Japan. Although he was eager to prove himself on the battlefield, he also let the world know that he was not inferior to Li Rusong. Of course, as a military general, making achievements and even being a marquis and titles was not inconsistent with this. However, at this time, he had a layer of concern in his heart. In Korea, there were already Yu Jie and Yang Hao pressing on his head, which had already made him have layers of concern about whether he could act according to his own wishes in the future. He knew that he was not as trusted by the emperor as Li Rusong, and he could not confront the affairs of the governor like Li Rusong, not to mention that there was a supervisor with the title of Minister of War above his head.

Now, although the eldest prince who thought he was a noble person was comforting North Korea, he would at most stay in the rear of North Korea, or the emperor would transfer the eldest prince who had been in North Korea for half a year. However, he did not expect that the eldest prince would make rare great contributions, so that the emperor gave the eldest prince the title of counselor of North Korea affairs. In other words, the eldest prince had a legitimate name to point fingers at the Korean affairs and war. There was another person above his head that he could never offend. I think even the supervisor, the general, Yang Hao, would have a headache about this.

There are so many variables in this battle between North Korea. Perhaps he might be defeated in this battle with Japan. However, there are also benefits. At least with this noble prince, both North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, there should be much less constraints? At least, it would not be like the first battle between North Korea, which missed several extremely favorable fighter jets because of the lack of food and grass supply, which also reduced the losses of the arrogant little Japan a lot.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to be able to reach Ma Gui's current position just by relying on his courage. Although he was a little concerned about Zhu Changluo, seeing that Yang Hao was so obvious flattering, he had to put down the information he had already picked up, then clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, I think with the participation of Your Highness and the Jinyiwei, this war will be much easier."

Zhu Changluo waved his hand and said with a smile: "You two, please be polite. As the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, these things are the unshirkable responsibility of this prince. I am already very happy to be able to share the worries of the father and help the two. Okay, please look at the information. I will discuss with you."

Yang Hao and Ma Gui stopped talking, picked up the things on the table and looked at them.

"On the 13th day of the first lunar month of the 25th year of Wanli, Kiyomasa Kato led more than 200 warships and 10,000 troops from Tsushima Island, arrived at Takeshima on the 14th, and joined the Japanese left-behind troops on Takeshima, landed from the east side of Busan. On the same day, the vanguard captured Liangshan, an important town north of Busan.

On the 15th, 14,000 people from Governor Xiaoxi entered the overseas overseas of Busan and landed in Doumaopu. After landing, Governor Xiaoxi did not rush to fight, but began building and expanding the city inside and outside Busan, building Busan into a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, after the landing of the first and second Japanese army led by Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi, no other action was taken except to occupy Liangshan. Kato Kiyomasa stationed troops Nishinosuke, and Konishi returned to Busan City, acting very low-key, completely different from Zhang Kuang who had landed on the last time. It is reported that Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi's top priority was to consolidate the defense of the Japanese army near Busan and ensure the safety of subsequent troops crossing the sea. When the troops arrived together and the food and equipment were all stored, the Japanese army would slowly launch and start attacking.

On February 22, Japanese Kanshiro Hoshi Hideyoshi issued a general mobilization order. So in addition to Kiyoshi Kato and Governor Konishi, those who rushed to the Korean battlefield one after another were also Daming of Western countries such as Kousakikawa Hideaki, Kuroda Nagamasa, Naoshima Korishima Naoshima, Muri Hidemoto, Ukita Hideaki, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Hinata, and the total number of Japanese troops entering North Korea reached 120,000.

However, the ten legions dispatched by Japan this time must be collected in batches due to the country's continuous wars and the losses of the last invasion of North Korea. The Shimazu Legion was not officially stationed in Kade Island on May 1; the Kobayakawa Legion was dragged until May until after May, under the leadership of Takake Kobayakawa, and followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi to North Korea; the two major legions of Maori Hidemoto and Ukita Hideaki had a total of 40,000 people, and they were still being recruited at this time, and it is expected that the sea would be crossed until July as soon as possible.

As of June, the Japanese troops were deployed in Nishishopu, Busan, Gard City, Angupu, Takeshima Castle and Kumakawa Castle. The main Japanese forces gathered in the coastal islands.

In early June, as our Ming Dynasty went to Korea, the number of troops reached 40,000, and Japan lost the Osakigawa tribe, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not wait until all ten legions arrived and began to attack North Korea. Except for Maori Hidemoto, Ukita Hide's Seventh and Eighth Legions had not yet arrived in North Korea, the remaining eight legions that had arrived in North Korea attacked from Gyeongsangdo and Jeollado to Seoul in Gyeonggi Province.

…”

After seeing the information in his hands, Yang Hao and Ma Gui couldn't help but look up and look at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Although they had thought that since the Jinyiwei had taken action, they might have collected more comprehensive information, but they absolutely did not expect that some of the information could be collected far more comprehensive than they imagined. If some of them were not collected in Japan, they would not have been so comprehensive in any case. This shocked them and they had a further understanding of Zhu Changluo.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zhu Changluo was very satisfied. In order to help him establish greater prestige in the army, he sent almost all the secret guards who had arrived in North Korea. Then, based on the information sent by the secret guards and comparing his understanding of history, he had this detailed information.

"After reading this information, the two adults may have a new understanding of Japan. Yes, this time, Japan has devoted its whole country to a strong force, but in fact it is not strong enough and very weak. It can be discovered that they have landed in North Korea since the beginning of the year and occupied some islands near Busan. After they landed in, they only bite one word: drag. Must drag until the main force lands. Never before gathering together, we will be attacked first and defeated each one.

After the war of almost losing its country, the Korean monarchs and ministers also had a clear judgment on the military strength of Japan and North Korea, knowing that the Korean soldiers were not reliable at all, and the little troops stationed in the Ming Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula were not enough. We had to rely on our Ming Dynasty to send a large army like last time. For this reason, North Korea adopted a strategy: drag it. It must be dragged until our Ming army enters North Korea. We must not let the Japanese army launch an attack first, and then perform a tragic experience of escaping from Seoul.

In the Ming Dynasty, although I decided to aid Korea again after receiving a request from North Korea at the beginning of the year, the two adults also knew the situation of our Ming Dynasty. There were chieftains in the west, and Myanmar was constantly disturbing the border, making progress in the south, and Mongolian tribes took advantage of the situation in the north. In addition, there were constant natural disasters and droughts and floods in various places. Even if our Ming Dynasty was willing to aid Korea, we needed to be careful to recruit soldiers, horses, money and food from all over the country, but this took time. Therefore, our Ming Dynasty had no choice but to adopt one strategy, that is, one word: drag and hold back the Japanese attack on North Korea, so that our Ming Dynasty could calmly dispatch troops to North Korea to dispatch soldiers and generals to North Korea.
