Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 588
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked him, "Lu Qing, but there is something wrong with this tea?"

Hearing this, Lan Tianbao and other servants who were waiting on the side were all startled.

There is a problem with the emperor drinking tea, the seriousness of this matter can be imagined!

Fortunately, after Lu Xiangsheng heard the question, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I am worried about the rainy day, and it has nothing to do with the tea."

Speaking of this, seeing Lan Tianbao and other servants looking nervous, he added: "The tea used by His Majesty is naturally top-notch."

Hearing this, Lan Tianbao and the others couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, they were almost scared to death just now!
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even think about the reaction brought by these words. His attention had already shifted to the weather, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng, "What is Lu Qing worried about in this rainy day?"

He had said before that the Japanese army was dominated by shotguns, all of which came from matchlock guns.Therefore, if it is raining, basically no long gun is useful.It will be very beneficial for the Ming army to eliminate the Wa country.After all, among other things, the height and weight of both parties are not on the same level.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, shouldn't it be a good thing that it is raining?

"Your Majesty, I see that the rain is quite heavy, and there is no sign of stopping." When it came to business, even though Lu Xiangsheng was already the uncle of Liaodong, he no longer dared to sit in the seat given by the emperor to speak, but stood up and respectfully He respectfully said, "I have been in the Liaodong and North Korea area for several years. If I remember correctly, this kind of rain is continuous, which often causes the rivers in North Korea to swell and make the roads muddy and difficult to navigate. In this way, Come on, if the army wants to pursue the Japanese army, there will be no small difficulty."

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen really never thought about this aspect.When I heard this, I immediately became serious.

This side of the Yalu River is still more than 300 miles away from Pyongyang. If it rains continuously and the road is difficult to walk, even if the cavalry army enters North Korea to attack the Japanese army, I am afraid that non-combat casualties will be much more than combat casualties.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that he was silent and was seriously thinking about this question, so he continued to play: "Even if the heavy rain has just started, if the cavalry go out to fight, they may be able to catch up with the Japanese army, but if it keeps raining, the cavalry will win." After that, what about supplies? The food and grass carried with the army must not be too much, even if we can persist until the victory of the war, how can we return to Liaodong? These things, not to mention the danger of the road being blocked by the surging river!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to him seriously: "Lu Qing's concern is that this must be considered!"

During the Little Ice Age, there were always floods in the south and drought in the north. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen led troops to fight in the north, but he did not experience continuous heavy rains affecting the war.The climate in North Korea may be affected by the oceans on both sides of the Korean peninsula. This rainy season may cause floods.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong had seized a lot of food from the Japanese army. If he had these food supplies, he would not have to worry about food and grass for the soldiers.However, from the wiretapping system, Emperor Chongzhen knew that apart from sending someone back to report the news, Zheng Zhilong continued to go to Jeju Island in a mighty way with the grain he had seized according to his original intention.In this way, they can't count on Zheng Zhilong's food.

"It's really inconvenient not to have a phone!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help muttering in his heart when he thought of this.

Continuous rain will also have an impact on homing pigeons.The most important thing is that the carrier pigeons send messages, which is to use the fact that the carrier pigeons can fly back to the nest no matter how far they are taken.If Zheng Zhilong was in Pidao, he could still communicate through carrier pigeons, as long as Emperor Chongzhen had pigeons raised in Pidao.However, Zheng Zhilong is at sea and is going to Jeju Island, so it is impossible for a carrier pigeon to really know Zheng Zhilong and fly to him.

After weighing it in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen asked Lu Xiangsheng, "How should the next battle be between Lu Qing and Qing?"

"Your Majesty, I thought that I could wait a few days to see if the rain might stop!" Lu Xiangsheng obviously had a plan in mind, and immediately replied, "If it stops, it means that the rain is overwhelmed. You can send cavalry to pursue them. If the rain doesn’t stop, why not wait until the rain in North Korea passes before launching an offensive!”

Emperor Chongzhen had told him about the situation of the Japanese army, so he knew something about it.If the emperor was not here, or he led the Dongjiang army to guard here, maybe he would lead the army to chase it down.But at this time, according to Emperor Chongzhen's personality preference, he finally gave advice based on safety.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought carefully for a while, finally nodded and said: "Your words are reasonable, and I naturally put the soldiers first. As for my enemies, monks can't escape the temple if they can escape, and I will deal with them sooner or later." of."

Zheng Zhilong's move has already been made, even if he doesn't chase here, the Japanese army in North Korea will not be able to think about it.Emperor Chongzhen thought so, then sneered in his heart and said: Even if these Japanese soldiers finally ran back to the Japanese country, so what?As long as I want him to die, it's useless to go to the American continent!
So, in the next few days, although some generals came to ask for a battle, because as the emperor said, it had already rained.However, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree.

At this time, he only cares about two things, one is whether the god will do what he wants, and the other is the movement of the Japanese army in Pyongyang.

As a result, three days later, the rain still didn't seem to stop at all. The rivers swelled rapidly, and the nights that were scattered in North Korea were returned, saying that some roads were washed away by the flood.In addition, the Japanese troops in Pyongyang could not wait for the rain to stop, because they could not keep food and grass, so they were forced to retreat southward in the rain, getting further and further away from the Yalu River.

When these two reasons were added together, Emperor Chongzhen decided not to wait any longer. To explain the situation, Liu Luxiang led [-] troops to guard the Yalu River area, in case a possible Japanese army suddenly went north again, which would affect Hong Chengchou's restoration of Liaodong.

Then, he led the rest of the army back to Beijing.

So far, the series of wars in the Ming Dynasty to restore Liaodong has finally come to an end.

Starting from the 11th year of Wanli, the Jianlu Rebellion in Liaodong, which lasted for 62 years, was finally suppressed by Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen led the army back to the capital, the Japanese army was also retreating southward.

However, the Korean peninsula was in the rainy season, and under the heavy rain, the Japanese army's southward retreat was naturally greatly affected.Not to mention the muddy road along the way, it is often blocked by floods.If there were enough food and grass in the army, Matsudaira Nobutsuna might choose a place to camp and wait for the rainy season to pass.

However, there is not enough food and grass in the Japanese army. If they stay in one place and don't leave, who knows when the rain will fall, and they will starve to death without food!
Therefore, when the Japanese army retreated southward, it was really a Tang monk to learn from the scriptures, and he had to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties.

Some died of illness, some were washed away by floods, some were left behind, and there were various situations. The [-] Japanese troops at the beginning had less than [-] by the time they returned to Seoul after all the hard work.

Faced with such a result, Nobuzuna Matsudaira wanted to cry but had no tears.

In this Seoul, there is still insufficient food and grass.Moreover, after the Japanese army came to North Korea, they didn't fight a battle, at least the army didn't fight a battle, they just did a long-distance training march, and lost almost half of their troops as a result.The blow to the morale of the Japanese army can be said to be very large.

The Japanese army in this state can no longer fight.Nobuzuna Matsudaira's ability to maintain the stability of the army and maintain the organizational system has already lived up to his reputation as "Wisdom Izu".

Looking at the situation in the army, Nobuzuna Matsudaira was afraid that the Ming army on the Yalu River would chase him, and he didn't even dare to stay in Seoul. Tokugawa Iemitsu, with the permission of Tokugawa Iemitsu, let him withdraw his troops from North Korea.

…………

For Zheng Zhilong, the rainy season also affects him.Although it is sailing by the sea, sometimes, the waves are too big and we can only stay on the shore.Just like that, stop and go, it took longer than expected to reach Jeju Island.

Or because it was raining and tired, Zheng Zhilong finally arrived at Jeju Island on a sunny day.

It is a rare sunny day. The Korean people in Jeju Island, no, they are now the people of Ming Dynasty, and many of them are ready to go fishing.The seaside is even more crowded.If you stay in the house again, it will be moldy. No one wants to stay in the house, even if you have money, you don't want to stay in the house.

The appearance of the navy led by Zheng Zhilong immediately detonated the entire Jeju Island.At least at the port where he landed, it was really empty.Almost all the people of Daming in the vicinity dropped their work and rushed to the port to watch the excitement.

Lin Qingye also came here after hearing the news. Looking at the Daming navy that was already very close to the sea, it was so vast that it was almost impossible to see how many ships were in condition. He knew that the matter that the Emperor Daming told him should be here we go.

And this means that Daming should have solved the Liaodong Jianlu.

Thinking that the extremely powerful Jianlu might be dealt with by Daming, Lin Qingye couldn't wait to see the commander of the navy to ask about the situation.

To be honest, his greatest wish in this life, besides becoming a member of the Ming Dynasty, is to watch Jianlu perish!

However, he was a Korean at any rate, and had a lot of dealings with Japanese people. While waiting anxiously, Lin Qingye suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a few Japanese ships among the Ming army.Others may not be able to see it, but he can tell the difference between the Ming warship and the Japanese ship.

In this way, another doubt arises: what is the situation?
It is impossible for him to guess the truth of the matter, so he can only wait and ask.

Seeing the grand occasion on the shore, Zheng Zhilong's flagship, under the escort of two warships, was the first to dock.

Lin Qingye had dealt with Zheng Zhilong before, and he recognized his flagship, so he gave up his eagerness to grab any Ming army officer and ask about the situation, and immediately tidied up his appearance, and then hurriedly greeted Zheng Zhilong on the flagship with his officials .
