Chapter 634

Although Hauge escaped again, most of the Japanese who went ashore were not as lucky as him, or they left their lives on the shore, and some of them fed the fish. In short, the losses of the Japanese army before and after this battle, It can be described as a fiasco.

By the evening, there were only about 3 warships of the Japanese Navy that had escaped safely back to Tsushima Island.The [-] Japanese troops who arrived in Busan later also lost more than [-].This is because more Japanese troops were spared because of the naval warships that blocked the transport ships they were riding on the shore.

However, no matter what, after the First World War, especially when they arrived by boat in a daze, before they had time to be happy, they were defeated by the Ming army. Three of the ten people died, which was a blow to their morale , that is definitely very large.

You must know that in the internal wars of the Wa Kingdom, there is no such thing as a one-time war with so many casualties.Even if 500 people died, it would be a disastrous defeat.

As the sun sets, Tsushima Island is full of Japanese people who have escaped back. They are all dejected and extremely depressed.From time to time, I saw Japanese people crying and wiping away their relatives and friends.Morale was so low that the Japanese army had never seen it before.

The surviving daimyos among the Japanese people, such as Mitsuhisa Shimadzu and others, gathered at Ii Naotaka's side, waiting for him to make up his mind, what should he do next?
Unfortunately, Ii Naotaka fell ill and no one saw him.In this case, it is even more of a blow to the morale of the Japanese.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu even once wanted to take his subordinates and withdraw to the Satsuma domain first.However, the power of the Tokugawa shogunate is still there. For a while, he just dared to think about it in his heart.

…………

On the complete opposite side of Tsushima Island, on Busan's side, after the victory of the war, the soldiers of the Ming army were overjoyed.When they see their comrades, whether they recognize them or not, they all give a bear hug to express their joy.

Li Dingguo, Zheng Zhilong, Lu Da and others rushed to see Lu Xiangsheng, all of them had irrepressible smiles on their faces.Even Zheng Zhilong, who was well established in the city, was still smiling.

Among them, Lu Da and Lu Xiangsheng have the closest relationship, and he smiled and clasped his fists and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Your Excellency is really timely, otherwise, the last general will bear the humiliation of defeat!"

"Hehehe..." Lu Xiangsheng also laughed when he heard it. It is of course very comfortable to be able to arrive in time and become a decisive force on the battlefield. However, after laughing, he cupped his fists and bowed in the direction of the capital Said: "It's the emperor's decree to let me do my best to help. Fortunately, there was no delay, and I caught up with this battle!"

When they heard that it was the emperor's will, everyone had the same expression as before.

In terms of grasping the battlefield, who in this world can compare to the current emperor?Look, even if the emperor is far away in the capital, he can still control the battle in Busan, what a god!
After some amazement, Lu Xiangsheng began to inquire about the details of the war here, and after knowing that the Wa country could be regarded as a war of overwhelming power, he immediately sneered and said: "In this way, the Wa country is exhausted, and it should be my turn Daming has shown his power."

Emperor Chongzhen told him about the future strategy. For the future of the Ming Dynasty, it must be conquered.Therefore, at this time, he decided to launch a counterattack against the Wa Kingdom.

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong clasped his fists and responded immediately: "My lord, there are still 190 or eight ships that the navy of the last general can fight. They still have the strength to fight, and there is no problem in dealing with the remaining navy of the Japanese kingdom."

Although the number of Japanese navy warships is still much more than his side.But no matter in terms of morale, quality of soldiers, or the advanced level of warships and cannons, they are all better than warships of the Japanese Navy. This is why Zheng Zhilong dared to say that.

But after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and told Lu Xiangsheng again: "My lord, I saw in the previous battle that the red barbarian warships were also caught in the warships of the Japanese navy to attack our army. But it must be There will definitely not be many Hongyi warships, and the last general will be able to take revenge!"

"Oh, Hongyi dares to come to join in the fun!" Lu Xiangsheng's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he looked at Zheng Zhilong and said, "If I remember correctly, there are Hongyi stationed in the outer islands of southern Fujian?"

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized that the outer islands in southern Fujian that the Governor-General mentioned should be referring to Taiwan.

So, he immediately responded: "My lord, I remember correctly, there are indeed red barbarians on that island."

"Okay!" Lu Xiangsheng listened, and shouted coldly, "I will report to the emperor in the victory report, and let Fujian and Guangdong send troops to destroy the Hongyi, so as to demonstrate the power of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zheng Zhilong heard this, he really wanted to say that there is no need to bother the court, as long as he sends an order, his fleet can destroy those red barbarians.But looking back, although I have this strength, I can't do this.So, he didn't mention it, and let Lu Xiangsheng come forward.When it comes to eradicating those Hongyi, the Zheng family will definitely contribute.

On Lu Xiangsheng's side, after asking about other situations, he gathered together to report the victory to the emperor, and at the same time issued a new military order.

First, continue to search and suppress the Japanese people hiding in the coast of Busan, and recall the Korean people on various islands, who are now considered Ming people, and open up wasteland and farm near Busan.Although this year is too late, we must prepare for next year.

Second, the navy officers and soldiers under Zheng Zhilong began to clean up the warships left by the Japanese Navy along the coast, and repaired and used them.In addition, the naval warships attacked, putting pressure on Tsushima Island, otherwise they would have a chance to take a rest.Lu Xiangsheng believes that with so many people concentrated on Tsushima Island, logistics must be a problem.As long as the stalemate continues, the Tsushima Japanese army will be in chaos!

…………

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, watched the text live broadcast of the battle through the wiretapping system.As for Lu Xiangsheng's ability to arrive at the battlefield in time, he could only say that fate was on Daming's side.Otherwise, even if he ordered Lu Xiang to be promoted, he might not be able to keep up with this battle.

In addition, regarding the fact that the Dutch helped the Japanese nation to fight against Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen would naturally not miss this opportunity to use the Dutch in Taiwan.In fact, Zheng Chenggong was used as a coastal defense guerrilla before, and this idea has already been saved.

Now that there is an excuse, Emperor Chongzhen directly issued a decree to chase after Zheng Chenggong on his way to Fujian.Give him a decree and give him one year to destroy or expel the Hongyi in Taiwan.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was looking forward to whether Zheng Chenggong could successfully complete this historical task of restoring Taiwan as in the original history.

After making this decree, Emperor Chongzhen's attention was refocused on North Korea.

It is now the end of October in the 18th year of Chongzhen, and the weather over there should be very cold.I don't know where the batch of cotton armor and food sent before, should be delivered in time, right?
Also, Zheng Zhilong's Denglai Navy suffered a relatively large loss this time, so it must be replenished.However, warships are not immediately available by throwing money down, there is a construction cycle.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to postpone the large-scale war against the Japanese mainland while decreing to continue building warships.

Judging from the information we have now, after this battle, the country of Wa will definitely be seriously injured.If it doesn't work, there will be a civil strife soon.That being the case, it is best to create a situation and promote it according to the script of the civil strife in Japan.

First, let the internal conflicts in the Wa Kingdom continue. Anyway, the current Daming, the temporary attention is still on the northwest and southwest of Daming.When the country is straightened out and Nanyang is also within the sphere of influence of Ming Dynasty, at that time, when considering the Americas and preparing for large-scale transoceanic warfare, it is time to conquer the Wa country!

After sorting out this idea, Emperor Chongzhen sent another decree to Lu Xiangsheng, telling Lu Xiangsheng what he meant, and asked him to use his troops according to this idea.

…………

While Emperor Chongzhen was busy with these things, Tsushima Island also ushered in Ming's revenge.

Zheng Zhilong's navy approached Tsushima Island in a majestic manner, provoking the Japanese navy here.However, although the Japanese navy had more than twice as many warships as the Ming army, they did not dare to fight. They just shrank in the port and leaned on the cover of the artillery on the shore, weakly fighting back the provocations of the Ming army.

During this process, Zheng Zhilong observed carefully, but did not find Hongyi's warship.He then guessed, it seems that Hong Yi saw that the situation was not good, and had already slipped away first, and did not accompany Wa Kingdom to toss around.

Hehe, the monk can't run away from the temple if he can run!Although Zheng Zhilong asked the court to come forward in the open, he was not the one to suffer, and he was already thinking about these red barbarians in his heart.

There is no red barbarian here on Tsushima Island, so it is in Nagasaki. Either he will escape to Taiwan, or else he will run to Batavia.No matter where you go, just wait!
After he led the navy to approach Tsushima Island for two consecutive days to provoke and demonstrate the military might of the Ming Dynasty, some Japanese people were finally afraid.For example, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa saw that the situation was not good, since he couldn't see Ii Naotaka, he simply sneaked away with his men.

Some other daimyos who had far-reaching ties to the Tokugawa shogunate followed suit and also sneaked away.They are not stupid. If they continue to stay here, there will be no good results. If they don't take advantage of this time to slip away, they will be fools!
Ii Naotaka is a very old man, he still stays up all night, doesn't need to eat, and has ups and downs in emotions. In the end, he was greatly stimulated and shocked, and fell ill all at once, and he was still ill.

Originally, he was still struggling to get better as soon as possible to be a director, but the Daming Marine Division forced him to come to the door, and the people on the island were panicked, which made Jing Yizhi very anxious, and his condition suddenly worsened.

Then, at this time, he heard that a daimyo ignored him and dared to run away.Thinking of the future of the Tokugawa shogunate, thinking of my own fate, and thinking of not being able to go back and explain to Tokugawa Iemitsu, in a hurry, I was so angry that I finally died!
