Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 578 Wanting the Battle of Chibi
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. This could be seen from his face. He immediately confirmed to Matsudaira Nobutsuna: "Is it really Prince Heshuosu? He was killed by the Ming army. Defeated in such a devastating manner? This is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that he was so sure, Matsudaira Nobuzuna couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Could it be something wrong?
In order to prove what he said, Fan Wencheng immediately analyzed to him: "Prince He Shuosu is the eldest prince of my former emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and also the eldest brother of the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Elite, warriors of hundreds of battles. Although the combat power may be damaged due to lack of food, but if such an army was destroyed by the Ming army, you are also leading the army to fight. , do you think this is possible?"

After hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna became even more skeptical. He couldn't help but look at the subordinates who reported the letter, and then at Fan Wencheng, pondering for a while, what's going on?

"If my lord doesn't believe me, and my lord is willing to check with this person, there must be something wrong!" Fan Wencheng asked further after seeing him.

After hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna nodded in agreement.He himself would not come to be an interpreter. Naturally, someone would take over the job of interpreting. Matsudaira Nobutsuna just listened from the sidelines.

So Fan Wencheng began to describe the details and verify whether what the man saw was what he described.

First of all, he first verified which Ming army it was, what banner it was, what it was wearing, and other details, and finally came to a conclusion, so he said to Matsudaira Nobuzuna: "This Ming army, if there is no accident, should be the Dongjiang cavalry of the Ming Dynasty." Army, the leading general is a native of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, his name is Li Dingguo, and he is just a mere general or a guerrilla.”

After the report, Fan Wencheng continued to ask questions.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira frowned. Before going to North Korea, he knew more or less about the Ming army. Therefore, he knew that the Dongjiang Army was the name of the Ming army that was active in Liaodong and North Korea.

This Ming army is said to be very capable of fighting, but it is also said to be a bad army with no combat power at all.

When it comes to being able to fight, most of them mention the mighty Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty. As for other generals, basically no one mentions them.Including this Li Dingguo, I have never heard of it.

Thinking about this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that he was impulsive just now and the situation was not what he thought?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Fan Wencheng's face turned ugly, so he immediately asked, "What's the situation? On the Qing side, is it really that Prince He Shuosu?"

Fan Wencheng nodded, showing a smile uglier than crying, and answered him: "It should be Prince Su, there is no doubt about it, and the number of people in the headquarters is about four thousand, which also agrees with what the villain knows."

The leader who came to report the news had calmed down after such a long time and had sorted out his thoughts. At this time, although he didn't know what Fan Wencheng was talking about, he could probably guess it, so he said to Matsudaira Nobutsuna: " Sir, the Ming army only has about three thousand people, while the Qing army has four thousand, but it was still defeated by the Ming army!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna's heart became heavy again when he heard it. If he wanted to think about it, he really didn't want to see a one-sided situation.

"Now, what can you say?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna widened his eyes, glared at Fan Wencheng, half-drawn his katana, raised his face, and asked sternly, "Deceive my general, coax my Japanese country to send troops to Korea, and still Thinking of carving up the Ming Kingdom, I asked, what are your intentions?"

Fan Wencheng was panicking at this time, not because of Matsudaira Nobutsuna's threat of drawing a knife, but because it seemed that the Qing Dynasty was about to fall!
But now was not the time to think about this matter. He forced himself to cheer up and quickly said to Matsudaira Nobutsuna: "Lao Naka-sama, the Qing Dynasty has definitely not deceived your general. The situation in this battle is like this. I know the reason. Please listen. The villain elaborates!"

At this time, even if Fan Wencheng was hacked, it was useless. After all, the fact of sending troops to North Korea had already been accomplished. Therefore, Nobuzuna Matsudaira sternly shouted: "If you find half a lie to deceive each other, you will die!"

After all, Fan Wencheng had seen the world and was not panicked, so he began to analyze Matsudaira Nobutsuna again.From Hauge's characteristics of leading troops in battle, to the supply impact of Hauge's troops, as well as the Ming army's raid and the situation at the time, etc., let alone, although he was not present at the scene, he almost annihilated Hauge in one fell swoop. All the main reasons were stated.

At the end, Fan Wencheng said earnestly: "My lord, the strength of the Qing army did not lie to you. But in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has been taking advantage of the lack of food and grass in the Qing Dynasty to do this." Articles, so that the Qing’s combat power could not exert one-tenth of its original strength. Now that the grain has been robbed by the Ming army, the Qing Dynasty may be in danger. The villain thinks that the old, middle-aged and adults should rush northward to save the Qing Dynasty. At the time of life and death..."

Speaking of this, seeing Matsudaira Nobuzuna and the surrounding Japanese people who could understand his words all showing anger, Fan Wencheng quickly speeded up his speech and added: "In this way, not only the allies are still there, but they can also share the strength of the Ming army." Maybe you can catch the Ming emperor by surprise. If you can eliminate or capture the Ming emperor, it will be a great surprise. Saving the Qing Dynasty is the most beneficial to your country. Even if it is too late, you can retreat when the time comes. Just come back, but if there is a chance to fight, wouldn’t it be a pity to miss it in vain?”

Hearing this, Nobutsuna Matsudaira was silent, and he took back his samurai sword at some point.After careful consideration, he had to admit that what Fan Wencheng said made sense.

If the Ming and Qing were really competing against each other, then of course he would be happy to benefit from it.But at this time, according to Fan Wencheng's analysis, it means that the Ming country is about to eat the Qing country. If this is really the case, it will be very disadvantageous for the Wa country.

To be honest, whether it was him or Tokugawa Iemitsu, they were actually a little afraid of competing for hegemony with the Ming Kingdom alone.This time, if North Korea hadn't become a white land, if the Qing Dynasty hadn't come to form an alliance, they might not have sent troops.

But now, a sign has been found here in Seoul, saying that it is Han County in the Korean Province of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is said that the Koreans may have made troubles, it is not ruled out that it is true.This is equivalent to, if the Wa country wants to occupy the white land of North Korea, it will directly fight with the Ming country.

Originally thought that the Qing Dynasty would contain the Ming army, but now it seems that the Qing country itself is difficult to protect, so how can we talk about containing the Ming army...

After thinking about it, Nobuzuna Matsudaira was also decisive, and reached out to pat Fan Wencheng's shoulder, but unexpectedly, he was not tall enough, and he couldn't reach it when he stretched out his hand, which was a bit embarrassing.

On the contrary, Fan Wencheng was sensible, and immediately his kneecap softened, and he became shorter out of thin air.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna saw him, with a look of admiration in his eyes, he patted Fan Wencheng on the shoulder smoothly and said: "Yaoxi, Mr. Wen Cheng is right, how can we disregard the safety of our allies!"

Speaking of this, he praised again: "Mr. Wen Cheng is eloquent and eloquent, with the style of the ancient Kong Ming, amazing!"

Hearing his words, Fan Wencheng was very grateful, but on the surface, he bowed his head humbly, and said in cooperation: "Now the Liu and Wu families are fighting against the Cao Wei of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be a great victory in Chibi!"

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also popular in Japan at this time.There are also many well-known stories about it.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna didn't expect that he would casually praise Fan Wencheng, and he climbed up the pole. Did he really recognize himself as Zhuge Kongming?
But it doesn't matter, let him be Zhuge Kongming, as long as there is a big victory in Chibi, it will be a good thing.

Thinking of this, he laughed out loud, and his mood improved a lot.

Seeing him smiling so happily, Fan Wencheng and the other Japanese naturally laughed along with him, as if they had really won the "Battle of Red Cliff".

Afterwards, Matsudaira Nobutsuna began to worry about rescuing the north.

His original plan was to use this place as a base to start operations after occupying Seoul, and at the same time send troops to the north to slowly encroach on it and bring it into the Japanese territory.

Now it is necessary to move north quickly, from Seoul to Shengjing, which is more than 1000 miles away, and it will take about a month to march all the way.Whether we can make it in time is another question, what about the food and grass of the army?
Although a part of it was brought with the army, it was not enough to support the army to rush to Shengjing.Furthermore, if the Qing army can be saved, those starving ghosts will also need food from the Wa country.This matter is a bit nerve-wracking!

After thinking for a long time, Nobuzuna Matsudaira made a decision.

First, the army will head north first, but they will also send scouts to Liaodong as soon as possible to find out the situation.

Second, send someone back to the country of Wa to report to the general, to report the latest news from North Korea.If the war continues, it is best to send troops and civilians to occupy all parts of North Korea as soon as possible.After all, there are only 10 horses, and if they are scattered in North Korea, then this number is too small!Not to mention, the 10 people who are pioneers have to go to Liaodong.

Third, notify the navy and ask the navy to transport food to Pyongyang first. As for the Seoul side, it will not be too late when the follow-up fleet arrives.

Following his decision, the Japanese troops in Seoul immediately began to move.

A large number of Japanese waited on them, riding their pony horses, as if they were burning their buttocks, they hurried to the north to scout the news of Liaodong first; and the Japanese army also began to march north in batches the next day.The momentum was so great that the remaining North Koreans were so frightened that they hid in the mountains and dared not show their faces at all.

It's a pity that Yingerdai left early, so Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about the movement of the Japanese army because he didn't eavesdrop on the seeds.However, it is not to say that without bugging seeds, there will be no wars.

Regarding the matter of war, Emperor Chongzhen has the deepest experience, that is, in war, it is actually money and food.Not to mention money, food is really important.When the Japanese army landed in North Korea, their food and supplies, at least within this year, will definitely be transported from the Japanese country.

In this way, things are simple.

　It will resume at [-] a.m. tomorrow and update at [-] p.m., if there are no accidents.
