Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 728 The Covenant
Inside the Chongzheng Hall, Matsudaira Nobuzuna said to Dorgon: "This is the current situation in my Great Wa Kingdom. The so-called dead lips and cold teeth, the two of us can only overcome this difficulty by cooperating more sincerely."

In the past, the Qing side emphasized more sincere cooperation; but now, the Japanese side has also taken the initiative to mention this point.

Dorgon was not very happy about this, but said solemnly: "I don't know if there is still a chance to defeat the navy of the Ming Dynasty again?"

He clearly realized that the country of Wa was no better than the Qing Dynasty. If the navy of the Ming Dynasty could not be defeated, it would be impossible to open up the connection between the mainland and North Korea; it would be a huge blow to the country of Wa.

In fact, when he asked this question, he was also hopeless.

Naval battles are not like land battles. If you lose once, you will mobilize troops to fight again; first of all, naval battles require ships, and ships are not just available.

Sure enough, Nobutsuna Matsudaira's face became even more ugly when he heard his question, and finally he said truthfully: "In the short term, there is no hope of defeating the Ming Dynasty Navy!"

Even if there is still a navy, the warships of the Ming Dynasty are even more powerful. If they don't rebuild new warships that can deal with the warships of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to defeat the Ming Kingdom's navy.

Not to mention, according to his own understanding, there are no sailors available in Wa country now.

Speaking of this, Matsudaira Nobuzuna saw that Dorgon's face seemed to be the same as his, and it became a little uglier, so he quickly added: "However, it is impossible for the Ming army to land on the mainland of our country to fight. It is impossible to take down our country of Wa with the strength of our troops."

After hearing this, Dorgon didn't really care much about whether the territory of Wa was attacked by the Ming army.If he really wanted to say it, he would rather want the mainland of Wa to be attacked by the Ming army.Because in that way, many Ming troops can be restrained and the pressure on the Qing side can be relieved.

He was still thinking about this problem, but he heard Matsudaira Nobuzuna then say to him: "Now there is an urgent problem to be solved. The local grain and grass materials cannot be sent to North Korea. The grain and grass materials in North Korea, my country, are not enough to support the food supply." Harvest. I hope that the Qing Dynasty can provide some support. In addition, if there is gunpowder, it would be the best."

The Japanese army mainly used firearms, so they needed a lot of gunpowder. Otherwise, if there was no source of gunpowder, a small amount of gunpowder would be consumed in one battle. It will become a fire stick!

As for the production of gunpowder in North Korea, Nobuzuna Matsudaira has not yet been able to do so.The most important thing is that Japan has the most sulfur in the country, which is not easy to do in North Korea.

Hearing Matsudaira Nobuzuna's request, Dorgon couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment, and turned to look at Daishan.

Because the Qing Dynasty vigorously developed the northern farmland, it did increase a lot of food and grass supplies compared to before; however, because the Qing Dynasty swallowed up a lot of young and strong North Koreans before the Qing Dynasty, and the population increased, the food and grass supplies were still in short supply.

Not to mention, according to the original plan of the Qing Dynasty, after some reserves of food, grass and supplies, the grassland tribes had to be taken care of, and more Mongolian cavalry troops had to be recruited. In addition, they would continue to plunder the Jurchens to strengthen the Qing Dynasty. .

There will never be enough food and grass supplies!
As for gunpowder, the Qing Dynasty also lacked it!

However, when I met Nobuzuna Matsudaira just now, both sides also emphasized the need to cooperate more sincerely. If people come to make this point, if they don't give anything at all, it seems that it will hinder the purpose of sincere cooperation.

For the Qing Dynasty, there is no need to worry about what happened to the Japanese mainland; however, the Japanese in North Korea had better have enough strength, so that they could join hands with the Qing Dynasty to deal with the pressure from the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of these, Dorgon felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Dorgon's gaze, Daishan knew what he was thinking. To be honest, he also had a headache, so he turned to look at Hong Chengchou.Look at the resourceful Hong Chengchou, is there any good countermeasure?
When Hong Chengchou saw Daishan's gaze, and then Dorgon turned his head to look at him, he understood what they meant, and after thinking for a while, he said to Matsudaira Nobuzuna: "My lord, to be honest, you In fact, the Qing is also lacking. To say that the richest country belongs to the Ming country. Do you think this is okay? The two of us will join forces and attack the Ming country. We will take some from the Ming country first. How do you think it can reduce the pressure on the Wa Kingdom?"

The implication is that if the Korean Japanese army wants to get supplies from the Qing Dynasty, they must show sincerity and send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty!In other words, it is okay to give, but not for nothing.

As for the Ming army in Phi Island, because there is no navy, it must not be able to attack; what can attack is the Ming army on the front line of Shanhaiguan.

Hearing this, Dorgon immediately nodded and said, "As long as our two families join forces, even if we can't take down the city of Ming, we can still cut off the connection between Ningjin and Shanhaiguan."

If the Ning Jin War can be launched, it will definitely reduce the pressure from the direction of the grassland.If the battle is successful and the Ming army is beaten back into Shanhaiguan, then the Qing Dynasty will have a lot more room to move.

Of course, the most important thing is that the war against Ning Jin is no longer solely undertaken by the Qing Dynasty alone, but also by the Wa Kingdom.And this is actually the reason why the Qing Dynasty worked so hard to form an alliance with the Japanese country.

In fact, when Nobuzuna Matsudaira made a request to Dorgon, he knew that if his request was to be met, he would definitely have to pay a price.

Now the Qing side has already made a condition. If they want to obtain supplies of food, grass, gunpowder, etc. from the Qing Dynasty, they must send troops to attack the places occupied by the Ming Dynasty together with the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, since the Wa Kingdom landed in North Korea, it has not engaged in an upright battle with the army of the Ming Dynasty.

It was the Dongjiang army of the Ming Dynasty, with the help of the Koreans, harassing the Japanese army and attacking places with poor protection. The most serious loss to the Japanese country was the Battle of Pusan.

This revenge has not been reported yet!

It is not impossible to officially attack the Ming country.

However, Matsudaira Nobutsuna obviously thought more about it, and he accepted it directly without moving his mind.

After seeing him pondering for a moment, he looked up at Dorgon and asked, "I don't know what happened to the Tsarist Russian Empire that is allied with you? Can we agree on a date to attack the Ming Kingdom together?"

Dorgon was stunned when he heard that, and when he came back to his senses, he felt a little helpless. He also wanted to attack the Ming Kingdom together, but the Tsarist Russian Empire was too far away, so it was really inconvenient to contact.

However, although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, he did not show his face, or he replied confidently: "The Tsarist Russian Empire is in the west of the Ming Kingdom, and the journey is still far away. If you want to attack the Ming Kingdom , You also need to go through the territory of Wacha, which is the territory of the western Mongolian tribe."

Having said that, seeing Nobutsuna Matsudaira's disappointed expression, he hastily continued: "However, Wacha has already surrendered to me, the Qing Dynasty. Gu also sent an envoy to coordinate, and let the Tsarist Russian Empire and Wacha attack the western part of the Ming Dynasty together. .But because it is too far away, the result is still unknown.”

When he said this, seeing Matsudaira Nobuzuna's puzzled expression, Dorgon knew what he was wondering about, so he said again: "This Waci is also a powerful tribe on the grassland. How many times did it destroy the Ming Kingdom back then?" An army of one hundred thousand captured the emperor of the Ming Kingdom and killed them at the capital city of the Ming Kingdom. Although they are no longer as strong as they used to be, the lean camels are bigger than horses. The country is suffering."

When Matsudaira Nobuzuna heard it, he immediately thought of something, and quickly confirmed: "You mean, this Wacha tribe is the tribe that was called Yexian at the beginning?"

Although he didn't know much about the Ming country, he had heard about the emperor of the Ming country being captured by the enemy.This kind of thing can happen, it is definitely big news.

"Yes, it's this tribe!" Dorgon nodded after hearing this, and gave him a clear answer.

After confirming this point, Matsudaira Nobuzuna really had a lot of confidence, and immediately asked Dorgon: "In this case, we should make a good contact no matter how far away. As long as it is better to attack the Ming country together, then whether it is right or wrong They in the west, or us in the east, will reduce a lot of pressure, which will help us win and defeat the Ming army!"

Hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.Why didn't he know it was the best thing to do.But the crux of the problem is that Wacha is now divided into four major tribes, and their opinions cannot be unified, especially Gushi Khan of the Heshuote tribe, who led the troops to fight the battle of faith in Qinghai-Tibet before.

Originally, he also sent a letter to the three tribes of Mobei, asking them to attack the Ming Kingdom together with the Tsarist Russian Empire, which would put the greatest pressure on the Ming Kingdom.Unexpectedly, the three tribes of Mobei were swept away by the cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty before they moved.

In addition, the Ming army also went out to capture Guihua City, cutting off his road to Wacha. Now it is difficult for him to receive news about what is going on in the west.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was staring at Dorgon, and seeing his expression, he knew there was something wrong before he could speak, so he quickly continued: "It's no problem for us to attack Ningjin with the Qing Dynasty, but North Korea This side must also take precautions to prevent the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty from landing and attacking North Korea. Therefore, I need time."

After a pause, he continued: "Although I have encountered many difficulties in drawing troops from North Korea. But for our goal, I will overcome the difficulties. On the Qing side, I also hope to do my best We will work hard to create as many advantages as possible to ensure that our goals can be achieved.”

Hearing this, Dorgon didn't hesitate any more, and immediately answered him: "Okay, then Gu will send someone over to urge Wacha and the Tsarist Russian Empire to attack the Ming Kingdom together. You see, it is scheduled to be released after the grain harvest this autumn." How about the time? This time is always enough, right? At that time, no matter whether there is any news from the west, we will attack, how about it?"
