Chapter 20 Chapter 20 For the memory of forgetting

In the restlessness and waiting, the night of the 18th came. At this time, Shimadzu Yoshihiro stood on the flagship, advancing towards the destination with confidence.In the previous battle of Sacheon, although he was just lucky to pick up a bargain, he won after all, and he was praised as a famous general, so he really took himself seriously.The reason why he came to rescue President Xiaoxi was not because they had such a good relationship, but because the two had a mental outburst, and he would rather do it than others. In addition, he had determined that the Ming army besieged Xiaonishi Xingchang, and they would inevitably relax the guard on the periphery. It was even more unexpected that the Japanese army would go back and return. Attacking at this time would definitely defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

In this world, the first characteristic of stupid people is that they think they are smart. Facts confirmed Yoshihiro Shimadzu's conjecture. The Luliang Strait, which was strictly guarded by the Ming army in the past, did not move, and the Japanese fleet composed of more than 15,000 people swaggered into it. Most of them failed to get the return voyage ticket. The Japanese army's fleet was very large, with more than 600 ships in total, and the queue was very long. While the rear army was still advancing one after another, Yoshihiro Shimadzu of the front army had vaguely seen Cat Island in front of him.

But he will never get there, because when the last boat enters the mouth of Luliang, the long-awaited Deng Zilong attacks. Most of Deng Zilong's 3,000 soldiers were from Zhejiang, and they followed him to this place from Zhejiang.More than fifty years ago, this team had a more famous name-Yu Jiajun. During the arduous battle against the Japanese that year, two famous generals of the Ming Dynasty created their own armies: Qi's Army and Yu's Army. Yu Dayou was familiar with naval battles and was the only naval general of the Ming Dynasty who was worthy of confronting Xu Hai.Most of the Yu family army he founded were selected from fishermen. They were familiar with water and currents, good at navigating boats, and after rigorous training, they fought Japanese pirates many times.

After fifty years of tempering and replacement, they came to North Korea, Lulianghai. After receiving the attack order, Deng Zilong's troops suddenly drove out from the ambush, blocked the Japanese army's way back, and launched a multi-point raid on the Japanese fleet with ten warships as a group. This was a fatal blow. Because the Japanese army was too long and unprepared, hundreds of warships at the rear were cut into several sections in an instant. Although the Japanese army was superior in number, they were surrounded by the Ming army. Can't move. The Japanese army in the encirclement was in a panic. They took up weapons one after another, preparing to fight the Ming army who jumped on board, but the Ming army warship did not move at all, maintaining a strange calm.

The Japanese army's question did not last long, and they heard the answer-a terrible roar. The Ming army's second wave of attack began without jumping gangs or hand-to-hand combat, because Deng Zilong's battleship was equipped with a weapon-the tiger squatting gun.This is a large artillery with a range of up to half a mile. Although the power is average, the shells will fall into the water after flying a few hundred meters, but it is more than enough to hit the Japanese iron and wooden boats at close range. In this way, amidst the shelling, wailing, and screams, the rear army of the Japanese fleet suffered heavy losses and basically lost its combat capability.

When the cannon sounded, Yoshihiro Shimadzu of the former army immediately realized that there was an ambush in the middle. But soon, he showed astonishing composure and composure, and made the right judgment—moving on. The rear army has been deeply encircled, and the enemy's strength is unclear, so the only way at present is to attack forward and join forces with Shuntian's Xiaoxixingchang.Only in this way can it be possible to turn defeat into victory. Under the command of Yoshihiro Shimadzu, the Japanese fleet abandoned its rear and advanced desperately. However, they didn't get very far.

When Shimadzu Yoshihiro's army had just rushed out of Lulianghai, it suffered the second fatal blow-the appearance of Yi Sunshin. After being neglected for three years, Yi Sun-shin finally became the commander of the navy again. When he took office three months ago, he was greeted by only two thousand old and weak soldiers and some dilapidated ships, because his predecessor Yuan Jun was in the war. At the same time of death, he also took away many naval ships as funerals. At this time, the navy of the Ming Dynasty has not yet arrived. The Japanese commander Todo Takatora led the fleet to sweep across the Korean Strait.

On September 15th, Todo Takatora led more than 400 warships into the Mingliang Strait. After Li Sunchen heard the news, he immediately led a small number of turtle boats to battle, twelve to be exact.This is already all his belongings. Four hundred versus twelve, so almost everyone believed that although Yi Sun-shin was a rare naval genius, he would definitely lose this battle, unless a miracle happened. But the facts tell us that miracles are created by geniuses. The outcome of the battle proves that Takatora Fujido's navy technology can also deal with wastes like Won Kyun. After a fierce battle, Yi Sunshin easily won and sank more than 40 enemy ships, annihilating more than 3,000 Japanese navy troops, and the Japanese army General Hatanoshin was shot dead, Todo Takatora was seriously injured, and was almost captured alive. The Japanese army was defeated, which is known as the Battle of Minglianghai in history.

For Yi Sun-shin, this is just the beginning of glory, but Lu Yanghai will be the end of the legend. When the Japanese fleet appeared in sight, he gave the order to attack without hesitation. At this time, Yoshihiro Shimadzu's heart was filled with anticipation. He had already seen Cat Island in front of him, so close and so clear, as long as he crossed this place, the victory would still belong to him. Then, he heard the gunfire, from his side. On the battlefield, the flanks of an army are extremely vulnerable.Once attacked by the enemy, it is easy to be amputated by the middle and lose the ability to fight. Its effect is similar to being hit by a brick in the back of the head when fighting in a group. It is a very deadly move.

Obviously, turtle ships are much more powerful than bricks.Under the unified command of Yi Sun-shin, these iron-clad turtles went straight into the Japanese warships, hardly talking about any tactics, and rammed them recklessly.Under this sudden blow, the command system of the Japanese army was completely disrupted and confused, and countless people were killed in the sea. However, at this most chaotic moment, Yoshihiro Shimadzu did not panic. As a good commander, he kept his head clear, and at the moment the attack was launched, he was sure that the enemy was coming from the flank. But the road ahead of him is still smooth, and it is obvious that the Ming army did not set up defenses here.

Then keep going, as long as you reach Suncheon, everything will be over. According to the previous plan, when Deng Zilong's first cannon sounded, Chen Lin set sail to attack. Out of the need for concealment, Chen Lin's army was stationed at Zhudao, which was far away from Lulianghai, and it took a long journey to reach the battle site. Before that, Shimazu Yoshihiro will have enough time to pass through the empty Cat Island waters and successfully land in Suncheon. However, Chen Lin was not in a hurry, because he knew that the seemingly undefended Cat Island was absolutely insurmountable by Shimadzu Yoshihiro. The desperate Japanese fleet finally entered the waters of Cat Island, but at this moment, strange things happened. In the silence, the three battleships in the forefront suddenly made a loud noise!Ships were damaged and caught fire, two were seriously injured and one sank. There are no enemy ships, no artillery fire, and it doesn't seem to be a self-destruct. Looking at the empty waters, Yoshihiro Shimadzu has doubts about this world for the first time-is there a ghost? ! This is a memorable moment. Under the seemingly calm sea, a terrifying weapon officially entered the stage of history. Its name is a mine. The mines of the Ming Dynasty used wooden boxes as shells, with gunpowder placed in the middle, and filled with heavy objects of varying weights according to the buoyancy of sea water to fix their positions and keep them floating below the sea surface for concealment and positioning. Of course, that's all I know about this stuff.I don't know the relevant details, such as the detonation and waterproofing issues. The only thing I can be sure of is that this thing can really ring and work. Chen Lin's self-confidence comes from this. Yoshihiro Shimadzu was still confused. His instinct told him that this was an extremely dangerous place. If he continued to advance, the entire army would be in danger of being wiped out, so he ordered to stop advancing. It was impossible to move forward, and the desperate Japanese army had to turn around and launch a final charge against the terrible enemy behind them. The enemy's return made Li sun-shin very excited. He knew that the final decisive battle was about to begin. In the midst of the chaos, Li Sunshin personally beat the drums and led the flagship to the Japanese fleet. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. At this time, although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but the main force still remained, Yi Sun-sin rushed into the enemy line alone. It should be said that he was very brave.But another explanation for bravery is stupidity. Probably because he was addicted to playing trash like Fujido Takatora, Li Sunshin didn't pay attention to the Japanese army at all, and rushed all the way into the Japanese army's middle army.However, Yoshihiro Shimadzu proved with practical actions that, as an excellent representative of Japan's second pole, he did not give in vain. Soon, the Shimadzu Navy, which has experienced many battles, sorted out the clues, organized more than 50 warships, and surrounded Yi sun-shin's flagship tightly, and kept shooting with muskets and bows. I really couldn't bear such a style of play, and many places on the hull caught fire, and the situation was not good. Seeing that Li Sunchen was about to fall into the sea to feed the fish, Chen Lin arrived. I am sure that the friendship between these two people is very strong, because after discovering that Yi Sun-shin was besieged, Chen Lin rushed in without waiting for the troops to line up. At this time, there were only four warships beside him. So he too was surrounded. At this time, it was already the morning of the nineteenth. Neither Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Chen Lin, nor Yi Sun-shin expected that the battle situation would be so complicated: the allied forces of the Ming Dynasty surrounded the Japanese army, and the Japanese army surrounded the commanders of the two armies of the Ming Dynasty. On the ground, it has become a mess. And the first person to figure it out was Yoshihiro Shimadzu. Under his unified deployment, the Japanese army began to concentrate its forces and besieged the flagships of Chen Lin and Yi Sun-shin. Chen Lin's situation was even worse than Li Sun-shin's, because his flagship was not a turtle boat, nor had iron spikes and hooks. Several Japanese soldiers who dared to risk their lives jumped up on the unprepared, drew their knives and went straight to Chen Lin. . When the incident happened suddenly, everyone on board was dumbfounded and had no time to react. At the critical moment, Chen Lin's son Chen Jiujing appeared on the stage. This man was very fierce, he rushed forward desperately, blocked the knife with his own body, was cut bloody, and stood still (bloody, still not moving). Only then did the guards of the Ming army come to their senses, and rushed forward, hacking those Japanese soldiers to death. Chen Lin, who was in a cold sweat, was not at all happy. He knew very well that the encirclement of the Japanese army was getting smaller and smaller, and more and more people would jump up. , must be yourself. After pondering for a moment, he made a decision. Soon, a strange scene appeared, and the gradually approaching Japanese army was surprised to find that there were no soldiers on Chen Lin's flagship!The boat was empty, no one was moving, and it was very quiet. This is a very strange scene, but in the eyes of simple-minded Japanese soldiers, the answer is very simple: all the people on Chen Lin's boat have been killed. So they jumped up without hesitation. However, they finally saw the Ming army when they were about to land. In fact, the Ming army has always been there, but they are lying on the deck. In order to impress and teach the Japanese army a deep lesson, Chen Lin ordered that all Ming soldiers should lie down and cover themselves with shields (putting down the cards), holding long spears, looking up at the top, and aiming at the target immediately when they see people falling from the sky - shot. Accompanied by shrill screams, countless soldiers were tied into strings. This bloody scene completely frightened the Japanese army, and no one dared to approach them again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, some Ming warships outside the circle rushed in and joined forces with Chen Lin in an attempt to break through the encirclement. However, the Japanese army was very stubborn and refused to retreat, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. However, at the most intense moment of the battle, the sound of gold ringing suddenly sounded on Chen Lin's boat. In the thinking of the Japanese army, Mingjin is not ready to fight, but now everyone is at sea, and there is me in you, and you in me. There is no such thing as withdrawing troops and returning to the camp. What is going on with you Mingjin now? However, after receiving this signal, the warships of the Ming army stopped attacking very unanimously. The Japanese army went in without knowing it. In addition, they did not dare to move after suffering a big loss before, and calm once again descended on the battlefield. This is exactly what Chen Lin was looking forward to, because this time, he didn't make a fool of himself. The reason why he asked for gold was because he needed time to prepare another secret weapon. He gets enough time. Immediately, the Japanese army saw another wonderful scene. Countless bamboo tubes with flames in the rear whizzed out from the Ming warship, and hit their own ship heavily. Wherever they went, they exploded and caught fire. The name of this weapon is Fire Dragon Out of Water. Although many years later, facing the British army with muskets, the Qing army with spears and dull eyes was almost powerless to resist, but many people did not know that the Ming army hundreds of years ago had advanced thinking, Creativity, and the pinnacle of firearms. The fire dragon coming out of the water is the most outstanding masterpiece of the military industry in the Ming Dynasty. The weapon is made of bamboo or wooden tubes, filled with gunpowder projectiles in the middle, and equipped with gunpowder fuzes at the rear.After being ignited, the tail is on fire and glides on the water, so it is called the fire dragon out of water.This is also the earliest prototype of ship-to-ship missiles in human military history. Any new gadgets are good, anyway, the Japanese army can't stand the toss, Chen Lin and Li Sunshin took the opportunity to break through and began to organize the pursuit. So far, the initiative on the battlefield has been completely controlled by Chen Lin, but what happened next was beyond his expectation. Laying mines on Cat Island and setting up an ambush on Guanyinpu, just as Chen Lin planned, cut off all the routes of the Japanese army one by one, and completely shattered the dream of joining forces with the enemy in Suncheon. However, he still missed one point: after the failure, The enemy will have only one choice - to retreat. And the only way to retreat is Lulianghai. At this time, Deng Zilong was defending Lulianghai, and he had only 3,000 men under him. Yoshihiro Shimazu no longer has any illusions, he knows that he has fallen into a trap, and the only extravagant hope at this moment is to escape from here. At this last moment, he interpreted the idiom "Qian Kou Mo Chase" with his own actions.The severely damaged Japanese fleet gathered together again, desperately launching an almost frenzied attack on the Deng Zilong navy who blocked their way. After all, the Ming army was few in number, and under the desperate attack of the Japanese army, the defense line was gradually weakened and was about to collapse. At the critical moment, Deng Zilong appeared. Although he was over seventy years old, he still stepped forward and led his flagship to rush into the Japanese ship formation desperately, because this was the only way to stop the Japanese army and buy time. Deng Zilong's battleship successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese army. Under the siege of dozens of Japanese ships, Deng Zilong's ship quickly caught fire. However, Deng Zilong replied: "This ship is the land I guard, and I will never retreat!" Then, he put his face together and persisted until the last moment of his life on that burning battleship. Stick to your post, no matter when and where.In his view, this is his duty. He has been in the army for more than forty years and has always been like this. Deng Zilong died in battle, he used his life to block the retreat of the Japanese army. In Yoshihiro Shimadzu's view, the Ming army that lost its generals would soon be defeated and obediently get out of the way. But he was wrong. At this time, the Ming army no longer needed to command. When they witnessed the tragic scene and their anger was completely ignited, courage and anger had become the greatest commander. Driven by the flames of revenge, Deng Zilong's Zhejiang soldiers launched a counterattack like a tide. The Japanese army retreated steadily and were driven back to Lulianghai. There, they met their old friends: Chen Lin and Li Sunshin. Now it was lively, Chen Lin's army, Li Sunchen's army, together with the retreating Shimadzu army and the pursuing Deng Zilong army, the Luliang sea was full of warships, it could be said to be overcrowded. The end of Shimadzu Yoshihiro's army finally came. The long-awaited Chen Lin and Yi Sun-sin launched the final attack on the Japanese ships. Hundreds of naval guns roared violently. Countless Japanese soldiers were either killed by shells on the spot or jumped into the sea as fodder.Amidst the pungent sulfur and bloody smell, accompanied by the burning flames, the blue Luliang Sea was crimson. This is the last scene of the brave Shimadzu navy that once ran across the sea, and it is also the inevitable end of the invaders throughout the ages. The desperate Japanese army launched a final counterattack, but it was of no avail. Amid the roar of cannons, they all headed to the same world. However, just as the moment of final victory was approaching, an accident happened. In the battle, Yi sun-shin once again took the lead. Considering that he dared to attack the 400 Japanese warships with only 12 broken ships before, and now he was beating the dogs in the water, it was really unreasonable not to show a show. But just as he was fighting bravely, a bullet flew and hit him in the chest. This is an extremely unbelievable thing. At this time, the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty had taken the lead, and the Japanese army was at the end of their battles. They were scattered and had to change places after a single shot. They were basically at the mercy of others and were about to collapse. The enemy army has been surrounded, the strength and weapons are superior, the morale is very high, and the remnants of the enemy are vulnerable. This is the battle situation at that time, and Yi sun-sin is on a turtle boat, surrounded by iron armor, and the shooting space is limited. To put it bluntly, even if you stand out Even if someone hits them, they may not be able to be hit. However, Yi Sun-shin was still shot. In this world, some things are uncertain. For example, Vatudin, the Soviet general during World War II, has experienced hundreds of battles since his debut.Stalingrad survived, Kursk won, and the famous German general Manstein was chased and ran around. He was so fierce that at the end of the battle, when he went to the local inspection work, he encountered a group of bandits and was injured on his leg. A cold shot.Ordinarily, the injury was not serious, but he couldn't be rescued, so he died like this. This is roughly the case with Yi Sun-shin. Don't say anything, in a word, this is life. Li sun-shin, who was seriously injured, knew that his mission was coming to an end, but the battle was not over. So, at the last moment of his life, he left this sentence to Li Wan, the general beside him: "I'm about to die, but the battle is urgent now. Don't reveal the news of my death. Please take my place and continue to fight in my name." These are also his last words. On the battlefield, the only measure is victory or defeat, because only the stories of the victors can be passed down. So Yi Sun-shin is still lucky. Although he did not see the coming of victory, everything about him will be passed on forever as a legend of the victor, just like the poem he wrote: The whole festival must be reported at the end, how can we know the success? I have made up my mind in my life, what else can I say! The festival has been reported, the heart has been set, and it has been successful, what else can I say? With the death of Yi Sun-shin, the Japanese army ushered in its final destiny. Under the all-out attack of the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty, the battle turned into a massacre. More than 400 Japanese warships were sunk, more than 10,000 people were killed, and the Japanese army was defeated. . But it is not objective to say that the Japanese army has no bright spots.Comrade Yoshihiro Shimadzu should be especially commended. He proved with his actual actions that his ability to escape is unparalleled in the world. , only dozens of broken ships and hundreds of soldiers remained. At noon on November 19th in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli (1598), the Lulianghai War, which lasted for one and a half days, officially ended, and the Japanese elite fifth army was wiped out. After the great victory in Lulianghai, the long-awaited head of Xiaoxixing finally collapsed completely. After struggling to escape back to Japan, most of the rest were wiped out. At this point, the War to Resist Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea officially ended. This war lasted seven years, and finally ended with the complete victory of the Chinese army and the complete defeat of the Japanese army. Seven years ago, the cup of bitter wine brewed by evil and ambition was finally poured on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's grave. He deserved it, and he deserved to die. Justice has finally defeated evil. No matter at this time or three hundred and forty years later, history has told us the same truth with facts: No matter when and where, there will always be a few restless invaders. They may be cruel, powerful, or seemingly invincible, but they will be buried in the end. The war is over, whether it is victory or failure, the protagonists who participated in the war have their own endings. Two years later (1600), the super "ninja" Tokugawa Ieyasu finally broke out. He gathered his troops and prepared to bully Toyotomi Hideyoshi's orphans and widows. But the funny thing is, out of extreme hatred for Konishi Governor and Ishida Mitsunari, as Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hard-core cronies, Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori and others made a decisive decision, put aside the conflict between the enemy and ourselves with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and resolutely devoted themselves to In the midst of the vigorous internal conflicts, he joined the Eastern Army and fought with President Xiaoxi to his death. And the funniest thing is Shimadzu Yoshihiro, who has a bad relationship with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At the beginning of the war, he was Tokugawa Ieyasu and was ordered to help defend the castle.As a result, the people in the city did not receive the notification, thinking that he was sent by the enemy to fool him. Not only did they not open the door, they even fired several shots at him. If it was someone else, it would be nothing more than going back to Ieyasu Tokugawa to file a complaint, and doing what he should do afterwards, but this one is different, the second pole regained his spirit, and the fucker threw the guy at Konishi Yukio overnight. After several rounds of you coming and going, this large group of people finally met in Sekigahara, Japan, and fought to the death. After a day of fighting, the Western Army retreated. After the defeat, Konishi Xingchang fled, and was captured and beheaded. Shimadzu Yoshihiro ran away as usual, and later asked someone to intercede to save his life. The business started by Toyotomi Hideyoshi ended. But the punishment of history did not end. Fifteen years later (1615), the war resumed. In the Osaka Summer Campaign, Tokugawa Ieyasu captured the last stronghold of the Toyotomi family, Osaka Castle, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s wife and children died in the city. , the Toyotomi family perished, and their children and grandchildren were cut off. I'm not a retributionist, but this time, I do. After that, Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan and established the famous Tokugawa shogunate. He focused on restoring friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty and developing the economy, and made great achievements. North Korea lost Yi Sun-shin, but ushered in peace and returned to a peaceful life. To commemorate those soldiers of the Ming army who sacrificed for the peace and freedom of the Korean people, the North Korean government built a large newspaper altar and sacrificed it every year to show respect for the Ming Dynasty. I am grateful for the help of the court and remind the younger generation not to forget to repay the favor. Now, the big newspapers have disappeared. Why they disappeared, I don't know. The army of the Ming Dynasty returned from victory, and Wanli did not treat them badly. Among the generals, Ma Gui was promoted to the right governor, and Chen Lin and Liu Ting were also promoted. The soldiers are not in vain. In order to commend the masses, it is said that Wanli allocated 80,000 taels of silver from the treasury as a reward for the soldiers. It's hard to say how much a leader like Lin can get.But anyway, it's interesting enough. Although in the seven years, there have been countless twists and turns, encountered many difficulties, and paid a considerable price, it is all worth it. Because we won. The so-called justice, evil, aggression, and atrocities are mostly meaningless nonsense. The only and eternal criterion for measuring war is victory or defeat. Maintaining the justice of the light with dark violence is the immortal feat of the Ming Dynasty. The final outcome of this war is roughly like this, which is very clear, but what is interesting is that hundreds of years later, history's evaluation of this war is very unclear. Specifically, it is as follows: Japanese historical materials show that this is a war that continued the glory of the Warring States Period and the glory of famous generals, although it may not be glorious (they admit this). The historical materials of North Korea (South Korea) believe that the victory of this war was mainly due to Yi sun-shin and the North Korean rebel army (helplessly, the performance of the government army was really poor). As for other factors, of course there are, but it seems that they are also relatively minor. As for the Ming Dynasty..., there was basically no movement. The phenomenon is strange, but the reason is simple, because in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, this war is not a big deal at all. This is an absolutely true fact. The so-called War to Resist Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea is really nothing in the field of historians, and I have never heard of any expert who became famous by studying this matter. It is only a part of the expedition, and there are not many historical materials. Except for the "Three Great Examinations of Wanli", which is still so-so, many details can only be found from Japanese and Korean historical materials. Speaking of it, we can only blame our country for its vast land and rich resources, everything is available, and everyone is there. In terms of scale, this war is really not worth mentioning. It has been fought for seven years. From the beginning to the end, the total number of Ming troops is no more than four It was not until the last year that the troops were barely increased to 80,000, and the game ended after two months of fighting. The posture is not too big. In order to fight this war, Japan bet on all the veterans such as famous generals and elite soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of people were dragged to North Korea. , I can't stand it anymore. Not to mention North Korea, who was beaten helplessly, dying, and almost wiped out. The king was ready to go out to seek refuge. He suffered a lot, so he was naturally impressed. In comparison, Japan was desperate, North Korea was almost dead, but the Ming Dynasty did not show any signs of risking their lives at all. They sent tens of thousands of people abroad and paid for military expenses and food, so Japan was able to survive. Afterwards, even war reparations were paid No (it is estimated that Japan has no money to give). What is strong?This is called strong. While carrying out this war, the Ming Dynasty also mobilized more than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress Yang Yinglong's rebellion in Sichuan. According to Comrade Wanli, this local rich man (chieftain) named Yang Yinglong was a greater threat than Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Based on the above reasons, the Ming Dynasty was also quite backward in terms of propaganda.After the war, in Japan, Kato Kiyomasa and Shimadzu Yoshihiro, who were obviously not doing well, were praised to the sky. The so-called "Tiger Kato" and "Onishi Manko" were blown wave after wave and never stopped . In North Korea, needless to say, Yi sun-shin, who was the genuine one, was made a duke after his death. After hundreds of years, all the honors that could be added have been added, and he has become a well-known national hero. As for the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of relevant personnel is roughly as follows: After the war, Liu Ting and Chen Lin served as the governor Tongzhi (congyipin), and they were promoted by half a rank.Of course, it wasn't Bai Sheng's either. A few months later, these two brothers were transferred to the poor mountains and rivers of Bozhou, Sichuan, because there was another Yang Yinglong waiting for them to clean up. Deng Zilong, who dedicated himself heroically, also received a reward. He was posthumously awarded the title of Governor (from the second rank), and obtained a hereditary position, which provided his son with an iron rice bowl. That's all. But compared with Li Rusong, the above few are not bad.This man is both wise and brave, able to fight well, and almost saved the Korean War situation by himself. He is the most outstanding military genius in the Korean War. But this unrivaled hero, not only was not praised after his death, but he was almost drowned by saliva for the second time. In the end, it was all the fault of the officials. The Ming Dynasty was an enlightened dynasty, and officials could speak freely, criticize the emperor, and impeach ministers. In today's words, it is democracy. However, if democracy goes too far, there will be problems. In the Wanli period, the officials have already scolded everything. Higher, the greater the power, the louder the scolding. And Li Chengliang is very suitable for this condition. This brother has guarded the border for decades and has great power. He is the best target. In addition, he has done a lot of things like deficit and corruption. After stepping down, he will naturally be unpopular. They are piled up as high as a mountain, and they have everything. Naturally, Li Rusong was not spared. In addition, he had a great career in North Korea and made outstanding achievements, so he became the target of joint attacks.The most disgusting one was Censor Ding Yingtai, who not only attacked himself, but also criticized his military record, saying that the Battle of Pyongyang was a small victory with few Japanese casualties, and that the Battle of Bichiguan was a big defeat with many Ming soldiers. Not to mention, he actually accused North Korea of ​​colluding with Japan, saying that Li Rusong was also suspected of colluding with Japan. According to his statement and calculation, it is estimated that the soldiers of the Ming army were dug out of their graves after death (a total of 40,000 to 50,000 people), and the Japanese soldiers were all peace envoys with white pigeons (there were not many casualties, just to escape).Li Rusong should be regarded as a double-faced agent. He clearly colluded with the Japanese army, but drove the Japanese army away. This person is not only shameless, but also very boring. One impeachment after another, in the end, even Wanli, who doesn't like to talk to people, couldn't bear it anymore, and directly issued a dismissal order for him to leave. However, fundamentally speaking, it is not Ding Yingtai, let alone Wanli, who is responsible for too few rewards and too many impeachments, because according to the customs and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of people were brought out in a battle of the scale of resisting Japanese and aiding Korea. For a fight, there are so few rewards and so many impeachments, everyone is used to it. So the real reason, while ridiculous, is very real: For the Ming Dynasty, this is really not a big deal. Since it’s not a big deal, no one cares about it. I don’t care about others, of course I don’t care about it. In addition to those boring speech officials splashing dirty water, the Qing Dynasty historians who compiled the history of the Ming Dynasty accepted them all, and the historical materials of Japan and Korea stood in their own position. Everyone said their own things, so the evaluation of this war has become what it is now: controversy, misunderstanding, and mystery. However, no matter how big or small, such a thing did exist in history: More than four hundred years ago, in order to destroy greed and evil, a group of people went to other places and fought a great war. In this thrilling contest, many of them sacrificed their lives for it. everything. So I think we should know all of this, that there was such a war, and that there was such a group of people who fought bravely and without fear in order to defend freedom and justice. For those unparalleled wisdom, fearless courage, and selfless sacrifice. In April of the twenty-seventh year of Wanli (1599), Ma Gui, the general who conquered Japan, led his army back in triumph, and Ming Shenzong met him at the Meridian Gate.
