Chapter 281 The Japanese return to the court (Twenty-two) can be punished but not killed
The private letter sent by Li Rumei said that it could only be "personally signed by the Ministry of Cabinet". Gao Pingshi thought he had some ingenious strategy on the battlefield, but this strategy needed to be kept strictly confidential for success. Who knew that when he opened it, he would find out
It was Qianci who admitted his mistakes and reflected on the reasons for his ineffectiveness in the battles of Ulsan and Dosan.
In Li Rumei's own words, his performance in the battle of Ulsan was average, barely satisfactory, but in the subsequent battle of Dosan, he made no achievements, which was really embarrassing.
In particular, when he attacked the city, his troops were mainly cavalry and could not perform much. Although he received the order when he retreated, as a general of the army, he did not think about whether the order was reasonable.
Withdrawing, this is very inappropriate, and the crime should be punished.
He reflected in the letter and believed that although the situation at that time was a bit chaotic, he should take advantage of the cavalry and launch a counterattack. Even if he could not win the battle, he could at least attract the attention of the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on friendly forces. After that, he could also rely on the cavalry.
With advantage, you can calmly withdraw from the battlefield without causing serious losses to your own side.
If he had done this, although the Battle of Daoshan might not be able to reverse the offensive and defensive relationship at that time, at least it would not have been so embarrassing. Therefore, he believed that he was responsible and sincerely accepted criticism and punishment.
After reading this letter, Gao Pragmatic felt quite gratified, because Li Rumei's attitude was actually very rare among the current Ming army. Not only did he not shirk responsibility, he actually reflected on it after the war and expressed his willingness to take responsibility, which is enough.
Rewardable.
However, Gao Pragmatic continued to read, and his expression quickly darkened. Li Rumei was very smart and did not show off his cleverness. He clearly mentioned that the two North Korean commanders, Li Shanhai and Li Dexin, had always had the intention of taking care of him.
Including the fact that he clearly had the upper hand when attacking Daoshan but retreated because his troops were far away, as well as the fact that Li Shanhai and Li Dexin were the first to notify him to retreat during the surprise attack by Japanese reinforcements - Li Rumei specifically mentioned here that it seemed
Li Shanhai and Li Dexin may have only informed him among the generals of the Ming army.
Li Rumei stated in the letter that after learning all this, he felt "scared and uneasy, and I didn't know why." However, after all, the matter was of great importance and he believed that it must not be concealed, so he sent a secret letter to the Ministry of Cabinet in the hope of getting guidance from the Ministry.
After Gao pragmatically read the letter, he slapped the letter on the table with a fierce slap. The frightened Kafei Ji, who was calmly seizing the flag on the battlefield, shrank and asked cautiously: "Master, what happened?"
"Both classes in North Korea are trash. They fail more than they accomplish!" Gao Pragmatic took a deep breath, tapped Li Rumei's stationery with his right index finger, and said: "Li Shanhai and Li Dexin have not yet entered the Ming Dynasty, but they have learned to communicate with each other first.
The heavy general of Liaodong cultivated relationships, cultivated friendships, and formed good relationships. For this reason, he even ignored the success or failure of the army. His crime should be punished!"
Ji Feiji hadn't read the letter yet, and didn't know how serious the matter was, so it was difficult for her to answer. Gao pragmatically saw her embarrassment, flicked the letter paper toward her, and said, "Let's read it."
This move surprised Kafiji, but she was very moved. The master allowed her to read such a secret letter from a senior general of the Ming army, which showed that he had completely regarded her as his own, and no longer had many attributes of a "Japanese concubine"
.
Ji Fei Ji was a little excited, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly when she picked up the letter with both hands. After reading the letter, she pondered for a moment and said: "Master, although Li Shanhai and Li Dexin's move has caused a lot of damage to the war, but
Judging from the current situation in North Korea, it seems that...it cannot be executed for the time being. I mean, at least it is not convenient to execute him yet."
It is impossible to kill now, Gao Pragmatic certainly knows this. Although Er Li's move caused the Ming army to lose more than 3,000 people, and the battle line had to be withdrawn to Ulsan, after all, Ulsan and Dosan Wa Fortress are twin cities, and they can occupy Ulsan.
We can still maintain the pressure on Daoshan, but Leng said it will not seriously affect the overall situation.
The loss of more than 3,000 Ming troops is indeed not small when compared with the battle losses of the Ming army in recent years. However, if we look at the time, it is too common for the Ming army to lose more than 3,000 battles before the high-pragmatic military reform.
.
Even after the military reform, the Ming army lost thousands of people twice in a row in the battle to pacify Bozhou in the first two years - of course, those were the southern garrison soldiers, compared with the nine-sided elite gathered in North Korea at this time.
Still very different.
It can only be said that this loss is indeed a serious loss that rarely occurs after the nine sides have undergone highly pragmatic military reforms. However, considering that the Ming army currently has nearly 100,000 troops around Busan, this loss is not unbearable, let alone
It really seriously affects the overall situation.
But the situation is like this, but it doesn't mean that you are pragmatic and not angry.
His ideal Battle of Busan was a key battle to annihilate the Japanese invaders of Korea, while the Battle of Ulsan was supposed to be the opening battle of the Battle of Busan, and it was a battle in which the phrase "allow victory but not defeat" is commonly used in romance novels.
In addition, Gao Pangshi originally planned to strike a thunderous blow in Busan, which would not only shock the big names in Japan, but also the various factions in North Korea. It was an important political battle, and there was no room for mistakes. Who knew that it would turn out to be like this?
This battle ended in such an inexplicable failure due to a series of natural disasters and man-made disasters.
To be honest, after winning too many battles, a person's mentality may really change. It's like when Gao was pragmatic in thinking about military issues in his early years, he always "considered defeat before winning". But now it's different. He has already become
The ever-victorious commander, something like this suddenly happened, made him inevitably lose his composure.
Kafei Ji said that Er Li cannot be killed at least for the time being. Gao Pragmatic certainly knows this truth, and it can be said with certainty that he must have thought more thoroughly than Kafei Ji, because this is not a simple military issue, but a typical political issue.
.
Can it be done to kill Er Li? Of course it can.
If Gao Pangshi really wanted to kill the two of them, even though one of them was the leader of the North Korean government and the other was the military judge of the North Korea, they were like the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the minister of the Ministry of War, but Gao Ge Lao really dared to kill him at any time -
—Who dares to object? Please stand up and walk around twice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The more than 100,000 Tomorrow soldiers are not in North Korea to make a living. At this moment, I am afraid that even the King of North Korea, Li Huo himself, dare not touch the pragmatic tiger's beard.
However, when politicians consider political issues, their focus is never on whether they dare or not, but on whether it is worth it. The problem now is that killing Li Shanhai and Li Dexin is obviously not worth it.
The lives of the three thousand Ming troops are important, but compared with the Korean Peninsula's territory of more than 200,000 square kilometers and its stored resources, it is not that important. And if you add in the long-term strategic significance of the Korean Peninsula to China,
That would be even less worth mentioning.
This is a land where at least the ruling class has a very high degree of Sinicization. It is within the direct influence of Chinese civilization and has long been called Little China. Of course, North Korea, Annan and even Japan at a certain period all like to call themselves Little China. Ignore this for now.
Such a piece of land happens to be a peninsula that covers the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. How important is its strategic position? If North Korea is not in the hands of China, it may become a springboard for people with ulterior motives to spy on and invade China at any time. On the contrary, if it is in the hands of China,
, then the core of Gyeonggi Province will have flank cover, and the Yellow Sea will completely become China's internal sea, forming a pocket shape.
If an invader peeps at Gyeonggi at this time, its maritime invasion will directly turn into digging into the pocket - what a dangerous move is this? As long as China had relatively visible maritime power at that time, the invader's approach was like
It's a self-destructive approach with no chance of success.
As for the mineral resources, they can be used directly. As long as the human resources are Chineseized for a period of time, it is not troublesome to use them - everyone is from the Confucian cultural circle, and they have the hidden attributes of the East Asian scroll king in their bodies. As long as the Chineseization is in place,
How much difference can it make?
You know, some famous geneticists in Europe and the United States in later generations have conducted experiments. They used the IQ of 100 as the target for European and American white people, and the IQ of the "East Asians" tested was as high as 106, which is the highest in the world. [Note: There are many sources.
For example, "Thirty Years of Research on Differences in Cognitive Ability by Race" published by the American Psychological Association.]
The more common academic view in later generations is that the average IQ test value of East Asians is higher than that of Caucasians in the United States and other parts of Asia, even if they take IQ tests designed specifically for European and American cultures. Globally, the IQ of East Asia
The test value is around 106, white people are about 100, black people in the United States are 85, and black people in Saharan Africa are 70.
Some people think that IQ tests may not be accurate because aspects such as learning and cultural traditions can also affect IQ. Unfortunately, after decades of test surveys and research, the academic community has found that "cultural differences" alone cannot explain IQ values between races.
Huge differences, especially for East Asians.
In fact, for example, the United States has found that desegregation, school busing, and some racial integration policies have not narrowed the IQ gap between races as predicted by the cultural supremacy theory.
In other words, intelligence is intelligence, it is an objective fact, and it is not affected by political correctness.
Then someone else proposed that the differences between East Asians, white people and black people are consistent with the theory that modern humans originated in Africa and expanded northward about 100,000 years ago. This theory holds that during the long winter, if you want to
To solve problems such as giving birth to children, finding and storing food, building shelters, and making clothes, you must have a higher IQ value, and humans have evolved accordingly. As a result, humans have developed ethnic IQ differences.
However, this does not seem to explain why East Asians are smarter than Caucasians - it stands to reason that the living environment in the main gathering areas of the two groups should be relatively similar.
But Gao Pragmatic is not interested in studying that deeply. Anyway, East Asians are the smartest, and the Chinese happen to be the majority of East Asians, and the East Asians other than the Chinese are mainly Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese (Annam). In this case...
Now that these three pieces of land have been collected, won’t the smartest people in the world all live under the same flag?
Therefore, neither the Korean Peninsula nor Japan can form a separate system and must be "closely united" under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Gao Pragmatic doesn't believe it. At that point, can they still defeat European pirates?
In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the Korean peninsula is peaceful and that it cannot leave too many hidden dangers. In order for North Korea to be peaceful and peaceful, judging from the current situation, the core of the North Korean Party cannot be killed.
However, there is no way to go unpunished. Gao Pragmatic narrowed his eyes and began to think about how to punish Li Shanhai and Li Dexin. At least let them understand that doing a good job in this important matter is the greatest credit and good for the future.
The best guarantee for your future, don’t worry about other things!
