Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 608 Give a Surprise

Hauge, who accompanied Nobutsuna Matsudaira, and Zheng Zhilong, who was leading the navy, had Grade A eavesdropping seeds.Emperor Chongzhen learned from the Class A wiretapping seeds on them that there is currently no further war in North Korea.

Without a navy, the Japanese army's troops could not go to sea to fight against Zheng Zhilong's troops; and Zheng Zhilong's troops were navy troops, who were not good at land warfare, and there was no need to go ashore to fight several times as many enemies. It was just in the Korean Strait Patrol back and forth to cut off the connection between Japan and North Korea.

Also, Zheng Zhibao from Edo was informed by Zheng Zhilong a few days ago that he had secretly left Edo for Jeju Island.It is estimated that in the next few days, Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo, no matter how late the news is, will get the news that the Korean Strait has been blocked by the Daming Navy.No matter how angry he was, even if he vomited blood like Huang Taiji, he must think of a way to contact the Japanese army in North Korea.Therefore, the Japanese side should mobilize a larger fleet to North Korea.

On the North Korean side, Matsudaira Nobuzuna and Inoue Masashige are indeed capable people, and the initial military riots and collapses have been suppressed by the two of them.Today's Japanese people are fishing at the seaside to replenish food, while eating all edible things on the shore, and even sent small troops to the surrounding mountains to sweep up the Koreans hiding in the mountains in order to collect more food.

In addition, while the Japanese army was trying to build a wooden boat across the sea to contact the Japanese country, they were making preparations, waiting for the Japanese country to come to meet them.The overall situation of these Japanese troops is basically difficult but not too chaotic.Because they firmly believe that the Wa country will send troops to rescue them.

After understanding the basic situation, Emperor Chongzhen sent the situation to Lu Xiangshengna of Liaodong with a pigeon, and gave him an order. Because of food restrictions, if the whole army cannot go to battle, at least an army with sufficient strength should be sent to fight. They harassed and suppressed these Japanese troops and did not give them a chance to calmly wait for rescue.If possible, it would be best to annihilate this Japanese army.However, if the Japanese leader can be captured alive, he must be captured alive.

After the decree came out, he inspected the royal textile factory run by the queen.Winter in North Korea is still very cold, and the army over there needs to change their cotton armor.

…………

Five or six days later, the message conveyed by the carrier pigeon reached Lu Xiangsheng.

It has to be said that without this news from Emperor Chongzhen, it would be basically impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to obtain this news through Ye Bushou.Not to mention the distance, the most important thing is that his opponent is Matsudaira Nobutsuna, known as the "Smart Izu" of Japan.Therefore, the Japanese army was naturally on guard against the Ming army.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna selected his elite troops and deployed them to the front line of Seoul, using bluff to confuse the Ming army.If you don't know, you will really be confused by him.

After all, he has an army of [-] and has not fought a single battle. No matter what opponent he is against, he is always cautious.

However, with the cheating of Emperor Chongzhen, and the fact that the Japanese army was completely silver gun and candle head, all of them were placed in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

For this, Lu Xiangsheng was naturally overjoyed.He didn't expect that the previous naval encounter and the rainy season in North Korea would cause such a huge loss to the Japanese army!Moreover, the emperor had already deployed on Jeju Island, and had already sent Zheng Zhilong's navy to defeat the entire Japanese navy, cutting off the retreat and supplies of the Japanese army in North Korea.

However, the army has to go through the entire Korean peninsula to fight at the southernmost tip, and the duration of the war is uncertain. Therefore, this food logistics is indeed a problem.

After comprehensive consideration, Lu Xiangsheng finally decided that he himself should sit on the side of the Yalu River and send his generals to lead more than ten thousand cavalry troops into the DPRK to fight.

Previously, when Emperor Chongzhen returned home in triumph, he left more than [-] imperial troops in Liaodong, which were actually cavalry troops from the Hussars Camp and Beijing Camp, as well as some cavalry troops from the various ethnic groups in eastern Mongolia and Liaodong who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.Now coupled with the original Dongjiang Army, who among these troops should be sent?this is a problem!
Or seeing an opportunity for meritorious service, the generals who stayed in Liaodong asked for a fight one after another.In total, there are generals Li Guozhu, Lu Da, Cao Bianjiao, and lieutenants Li Guo, Li Dingguo and others.Among them, Li Dingguo was originally a general, but he seized the grain given to Jianlu by the Japanese state, defeated Haoge's troops, and even captured Haoge alive. The lieutenant-general known as "General Soldier".

At this time, looking at the eager anticipation in the eyes of these generals, Lu Xiangsheng knew what they were thinking, and they wanted to earn military merit and win a title.However, due to the limitation of food and grass, we can only send more than [-] cavalry, so we can only choose two or three generals to lead the troops.

After careful consideration, Lu Xiangsheng said to the generals: "According to the emperor's news, there should be about 4 Japanese troops on the opposite side, and there are more than [-] civilian husbands. The leading general of the army is a famous general of the Japanese country. It is known as Wisdom Izu. It once wiped out a very large civil unrest in the Japanese country. And our army can only send more than ten thousand cavalry, thousands of miles away, how to deal with the enemy, this is very demanding for the general of the army..."

Although the generals of the Japanese army sound very powerful, there are many Japanese soldiers and horses.However, these great Ming generals present were all killed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, so who would be afraid?Therefore, when Cao Bianjiao and the others heard this, they all wanted to pat their chests to assure them, but unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng refused to give them a chance, and continued: "Therefore, for the sake of prudence, with reference to past battles, I decided to send Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng Sophomores will play."

Hearing this, those who were not named were immediately disappointed.A rare opportunity to make military achievements!

Looking at their expressions, Lu Xiangsheng naturally understood that they were grateful, but regardless of this, he continued: "Lu Da has a stable temperament, while Li Dingguo is resourceful. The two of them are a perfect combination. I believe that you two can achieve what the emperor requires." , put enough pressure on the Japanese army, and on this basis, we can seek further opportunities!"

"The last general obeys orders!" Lu Da and Li Dingguo responded with clasped fists, both were overjoyed.

As soon as the military discussion was over, Cao Bianjiao stepped forward and patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder, and said enviously: "Remember to keep some Japanese pirates, don't kill them all. There will be enough food and grass tomorrow, let's beat those Japanese pirates together. Brothers, let's be happy together." , it’s better to have fun, right?”

Hearing such a sentence he couldn't understand, the other generals and eunuchs in the hall couldn't help laughing.

At this time, when they faced foreign enemies, they had no fear at all, and the atmosphere of fear that the Ming army heard that they were going to attack Jianlu was completely gone.A series of victories and the experience that even the mighty Jianlu can be easily wiped out have given them enough confidence.

Daming, invincible!
…………

At Lu University, Li Dingguo led the army into North Korea. The Navy's transport ships were responsible for transporting grain and grass. When they moved along the coastline to the south of North Korea, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was far away in Edo, had received news from North Korea. "Ah" fainted.

After being rescued, Tokugawa Iemitsu opened his mouth and cursed: "Hachi, what wisdom Izu, is this trying to kill this general?"

Most of the [-] Japanese troops in the early stage were forces that Tokugawa Iemitsu could control. I thought that with Matsudaira Nobuzuna's ability, he could at least give him a big victory. An explanation, let them see how wise he made this decision!
However, under his expectation, the first time the news came back, it was that as a powerful ally of the Wa Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom, which almost lost even the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was already in danger.Matsudaira Nobutsuna has led the army to Liaodong for rescue, and asked to send reinforcements here.

In this regard, Tokugawa Iemitsu was still relatively calm, and felt that Matsudaira Nobutsuna had done the right thing, so he sent the second batch of troops out immediately.At least at that time, North Korea was not already in the hands of the Wa country, and it was considered a big gain.It is also because of this that there are [-] civilian husbands who accompanied the second batch of troops, and they are preparing to farm and harvest grain on the Korean land, which has become the territory of the Wa Kingdom in the actual sense.

Unexpectedly, the second time the news came back, it turned out that after the second batch of troops set foot on North Korea, the Japanese Navy was completely wiped out by the Ming Navy. Can see very clearly, even the land is burning.The fire was so big that it was likely that all the rations and everything would be burned.

The entire army of the navy was wiped out. Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately blamed Masashige Inoue, the commander of the second Japanese army, but Matsudaira Nobuzuna. The south is coming.Such a huge navy, no matter what, Nobuzuna Matsudaira must know and take precautions, right?Masashige Inoue, on the other hand, has only just been to North Korea, so he is not familiar with anything.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Inoue Masashige is Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyes and the person in charge of monitoring the daimyo in various parts of Japan. It can be seen that Inoue Masashige must be Tokugawa Iemitsu's most confidant.And Matsudaira Nobuzuna is in charge of government affairs, and he can be regarded as Tokugawa Iemitsu's confidant, but there is also such a difference of closeness between these confidants.

But no matter how angry Tokugawa Iemitsu was, in his opinion, the 15 troops and [-] civilians who had arrived in North Korea must be rescued.Not to mention, it is the most urgent thing to open up the connection with North Korea and eliminate the Ming navy entrenched in the Korean Strait.

In desperation, Tokugawa Iemitsu could only gather troops, and thanks to the fact that the Wa country is an island country, daimyos from all over the country are near the sea, and they have a lot of warships.Gathering together in the east and gathering in the west, another fleet was forced to come out.

During this period, Tokugawa Iemitsu even went to Zheng's mansion in person, wanting to find out what was going on with the Navy of the Ming Dynasty, how much was the relationship with the Zheng family, and how about not being an enemy of the Great Wa Kingdom?
But after all, he wanted something from the Zheng family. In order to show his courtesy and virtuousness, he didn’t let his subordinates notify him in advance, and planned to give Zheng Zhibao a surprise: all the shoguns came to visit in person, which shows how much they value your Zheng family!
