Chongzhen Chat Group

"Yes, how did you know that the Ming army was coming?" Duduo asked seriously.

Azig was equally nervous and asked with some confusion: "Why haven't we heard any news?"

When they first came to Japan, they actually had such worries. But a year has passed, and there is not even a trace of the Ming army, so they are all relieved. But at this time, the news came unexpectedly from Hauge. It would be strange for them not to be nervous.

Looking at the extremely nervous faces and seeing that they were all waiting for his answer, Hauge suddenly felt very happy at this moment. He raised his head, glanced at them, then fixed his gaze on Dorgon's face, and said in a confident tone: "Of course I have my source of information. As long as you know this, it will be fine!"

Seeing that he was confident but refusing to tell the truth, Dorgon frowned. However, when he saw that Dodo seemed to be angry, he spoke first to prevent the two from clashing again on the spot. He had a headache: "How many troops will the Ming army come? When will they come and where will they land? Who will be the commander-in-chief? Cao Bianjiao or Lu Xiangsheng, or someone else?"

Hearing this, Hauge couldn't help but be stunned. He doesn’t know these things either!

With this in mind, he turned his head slightly and looked at Qian Fugui, who was following behind silently. Then he turned back and said a little impatiently: "I'm not a tapeworm in the belly of the Ming army. How could I know so clearly?" . Let me tell you, the Ming army is coming. As for what to do next? I am not the Qing emperor, what should I worry about?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the responses from several people in the palace, he turned around and led his people away again.

Nowadays, he has guards around him at all times, even when he enters the palace to see Dorgon. Because he couldn't trust these people.

Hauge came here this time just to see the faces of these people and what their expressions would be like when they heard that the Ming army was about to attack!

Haha, that shit-eating expression is so cool!

What if the Ming army really comes to attack? As he said just now, he is not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so what should he worry about!

Hauge was so heartless that he dropped a huge piece of news and then left like nothing happened. However, the faces of the few people in the hall were all heavy. The atmosphere in the hall also became heavy.

Suddenly, Duduo's angry voice broke the silence and said: "Hauge, this stupid pig, is full of food. He must be here to scare people on purpose!"

‘It’s possible, we don’t know, so why should he know? "Ajige nodded quickly after hearing this, with a look on his face that he would rather believe that it is nothing than something that exists.

Wu Daji, who stayed aside, remained silent and watched the process coldly, feeling as happy as when Hauge had just left: Look, he was already so frightened just after hearing the news about the Heavenly Army. When the heavenly army comes back, I don’t know how scared they will be!

Among the people present, only he was certain that the Ming army would attack sooner or later. Otherwise, the emperor would not have told him what he had done before.

Dorgon listened to the two brothers' somewhat wishful thinking, felt their emotional changes, and felt very worried. He knew that if the Qing army faced the Ming army now, with this mentality alone, the chance of winning would be very slim. If the Ming army really attacked, the Qing Dynasty might be in danger!

Thinking of this, after a moment of silence, Dorgon said solemnly: "No matter what, we have to guard against the Ming army. We were a little relaxed before."

Having said this, he paused, seemed to have made a decision, and then said: "Now our Qing Dynasty only has a small place like Kyushu Island, and it is close to North Korea, which is not enough. The war with the Tokugawa shogunate cannot be delayed forever. Go down."

"We are recuperating, and the Tokugawa shogunate is not recuperating. And the most important thing is that the area ruled by the Tokugawa shogunate is larger than us, and the population is larger than us. If we continue to recuperate like this, I am afraid the situation will be in their favor." Dorgon Having said this, he spoke a little louder, "For the future of the Qing Dynasty, we must find a suitable fighter to break the current deadlock!"

Hearing what he said, Dodo became excited again, and he no longer had any fear when facing the Tokugawa shogunate. I just heard him ask: "How about our Qing Dynasty immediately send troops to knock down Shijian Yinshan!"

Azig heard this and wanted to speak, but Dorgon had already answered Dodo's words first: "It is better to understand the situation first and be sure to win. I will send an order to Ying Erdai and ask him to contact him as soon as possible. Detailed work sent out.”

As a trusted general of Dorgon, Ying Erdai led the army on the front line to prevent the Tokugawa shogunate from attacking Kyushu.

Wu Daji on the side looked at all this with cold eyes, and suddenly came back to his senses. What a coincidence. Could it be that there are people like him here? Judging from the emperor's plan, it should be that Jianlu should be sent to attack Ishimi Ginzan, and then continue the fight with the Tokugawa shogunate.

For him, both the Jianlu and the Japanese have brought endless disasters and humiliation to Korea. It would be really satisfying if these enemies could fight each other to the death!

However, he was also curious in his heart. After the discussion was over and he answered his question, he pretended to rest and entered the chat group to verify his thoughts.

However, there were already many people in the chat group at this time. After watching it for a long time, I couldn't find any clue at all, and I didn't dare to ask the emperor, so I had to forget it.

Naturally, he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had changed all their user names in order to protect them. As long as they don't speak and communicate with each other, it's impossible to recognize each other.

A few days later, Dorgon was paying attention to the silver issue and the news of the Tokugawa shogunate. Suddenly, a detective came to report in a panic, saying that a Ming navy warship had been spotted on the coast near North Korea, and some were heading ashore. Fired the cannon, but did not go ashore and went back.

This has never happened before. In addition, Hauge had come to remind him before, and Dorgon and others suddenly became nervous.

Does the emergence of the Ming navy mean that the day when the Ming army comes to Japan is not far away?

Did this Ming army warship come over accidentally, or did it come to explore the way? Regarding this point, neither Dorgon nor Dodo nor Azig could judge.

Now because there has been no movement in North Korea for a long time, Dorgon deployed all his troops in the north to deal with the Tokugawa shogunate. If the Ming army really wants to come over, no matter what, the army will be called back. In this case, what will the Tokugawa shogunate do?

At this time, Dorgon was so anxious that his bald forehead was sweating.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Duduo asked anxiously, "We are mortal enemies with the Ming army and will fight to the death. I feel that the Ming army will definitely attack!"

Azig was also in a hurry, and without thinking much, he quickly suggested: "We are too close to North Korea on Kyushu Island, how about we go somewhere else?"

After hearing this, Dodo immediately responded: "Yes, let's fight against the Japanese. First capture Iwami Ginzan. With the money, we can then buy ships and cannons from the Spaniards. By then, let alone the Tokugawa Shogunate." , even the Ming army, we the Qing Dynasty don’t have to be afraid! In the future, we the Qing Dynasty will not only defeat all the Japanese countries, but also fight back to Korea, Liaodong, and their hometown..."

"Uh-huh!" Dorgon coughed and interrupted Dodo's increasingly unreliable words. However, he also admitted that what Duduo said before was still worthy of consideration.

If the Qing Dynasty's combat power is combined with Spanish firearms, artillery, and warships, there is indeed much to be done.

With this in mind, he looked at Duduo and others and said, "I think we can prepare for the matter of Shi Jian Yinshan first. However, the Ming army must also have a certain understanding..."

Having said this, he pondered again. It is necessary to send people across the sea to check the situation with the Ming army. We can't just hang around and don't know when the Ming army will come. This feeling is too uncomfortable.

However, people from the Qing Dynasty definitely cannot go. Otherwise, if the Ming army actually forgot about the Qing Dynasty, and then sent someone here to show up, but the result was to remind the Ming army that there were still enemies here with no news, then it would be counterproductive!

Send the Japanese from Toyotomi Kunimatsu over? This is also inappropriate. After all, it was Toyotomi Kunimatsu's grandfather who sent troops to attack North Korea with the intention of invading the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, he had a grudge, no!

On the contrary, it might be easier for the Tokugawa shogunate to communicate with the Ming Dynasty. After all, they rebelled against Toyotomi Hideyoshi and gained the world. They had never sent troops to Korea or fought with the Ming army, so they had no hatred. Thinking of this, Dorgon became a little nervous again. If the stalemate between the Qing Dynasty and the Tokugawa shogunate continued, would the Tokugawa shogunate go to the Ming Dynasty for help? If you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible!

Dorgon held on to this idea and continued to think about what he had just done. The only remaining candidates are the Catholic Army. He thought carefully for a while and felt that this shouldn't matter much. As long as they pretend to be fishing, the Ming Dynasty can't embarrass ordinary Japanese people, right?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. By the way, he could also provide false news to the Ming army. Even if the Ming army originally wanted to come to Japan to fight against the Qing Dynasty, it would dissuade them.

After thinking for a long time, Dorgon finally had a preliminary idea in his mind. After discussion, he followed this method.

Then, he also issued an order, and the entire army began to mobilize to prepare for the next battle. On the surface, his explanation to the Japanese was that he wanted to help them overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, let Toyotomi Kunimatsu sit in his rightful place, and let Catholicism spread throughout the Japanese country. In fact, he only revealed his worries to his trusted generals in the Qing Dynasty and his two brothers.

"We cannot give the Tokugawa shogunate too much preparation time, otherwise the Tokugawa shogunate will not only accumulate more power than us, but may even ask the Ming Dynasty for help!" Dorgon explained with a serious face, "We can only quickly The battle will be decided quickly. For the current plan, the first step is to capture Iwami Ginzan before June. If we can gain a foothold on Honshu Island, we will hand over Kyushu Island to the Catholic army and let them deal with possible tomorrow. military."

"The second step is to fight the Tokugawa Shogunate as soon as possible. It is best to avoid fighting with other daimyo and directly defeat the main force of the Tokugawa family. This step depends on Toyotomi Kunimatsu. With the materials and manpower of Honshu Island , no matter how well we recuperate, by then we will be able to advance, attack, retreat and defend with much greater ease!"

Seeing that his plan was very good and the others were convinced, they just did it. As for Haug, Dorgon personally came forward to negotiate with him. With his understanding of Haug and 30% of the silver in the stone, Haug really made Haug give up his temporary prejudices and decided to obey the command and fight across the sea.

Anyway, Hauge is not afraid of attacking the Tokugawa shogunate. And the further away from North Korea, the further away from the Ming army, and the safer he feels.

Half a month later, the spy who went to North Korea to spy came back with news that the army was indeed going to attack the Japanese Qing Dynasty. Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is. It's just that I'm not ready yet, so I haven't taken any action. According to careful estimates, it will take at least half a year before the Ming army can cross the sea to attack the Qing army in Japan.

After Dorgon received the news, he was glad that he had chosen the right person to send to North Korea and was able to return the news as he wished. At the same time, he made the final decision to launch a war in his state before the Ming army came over, in order to help the Qing Dynasty. It will expand enough strategic space for the future and prepare enough money to make good friends with the Spaniards in June and July.

However, he didn't know that even if he sent Duduo back, with Emperor Chongzhen's explanation, he would pretend not to know him and then pass the news back to Japan. The purpose is to urge the Manchu and Japanese countries to go dog-eat-dog. If the snipe and the clam do not fight, how can the Ming Dynasty benefit?

Seeing that his plan was working, Emperor Chongzhen was also happy. At present, the troops selected from the nine sides have already set off for North Korea. On the Liaodong side, people's livelihood issues were mainly left to Zuo Yingxuan, the governor of Liaodong. As for Liaodong Governor Lu Xiangsheng, he went to Seoul to start preparations for the war. In the future war against Japan, Lu Xiangsheng was chosen as the coach.

By the time North Korea began preparations, it had already entered May. At this time, no one could have imagined that the Luzon Manila Port would welcome unexpected guests.

At this time, in the Manila Port, in addition to merchant ships coming from the country, there were also naval warships. The large number makes the whole port seem lively.

At this time, on the sea far away from the port, there were two large sailing ships sailing against the wind and waves, heading towards Manila Port. The people on the boat couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the situation in Manila Port from a distance. You know, the last time I came here, Manila seemed far less lively.

However, a man standing on the bow of the boat was also a little confused and asked the people around him: "What's going on? Are those flags all from the Ming Dynasty? Has the scale of trade between Luzon and the Ming Dynasty suddenly become so large? "
