589 Divisions

In fact, when Matsudaira Nobutsuna decided to rush to Liaodong to rescue the prisoners in Pyongyang, the second batch of troops and people were already preparing on the side of the Japanese state.

Of course, they were not naΓ―ve enough to think that 100,000 Japanese troops would be able to rule the entire Korean Peninsula, or further compete with the Ming State for hegemony. Just these people, scattered on the Korean Peninsula, there are not many people in one place at all, not to mention, there is still a war. Besides, if you occupy the land, you still have to use it!

Therefore, as soon as Tokugawa Iemitsu received an urgent letter from Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he immediately reacted, and the second group of troops immediately set off.

Even before leaving, the commander of the second batch of troops, that is, the Tokugawa shogunate's Daimu Fuki Inoue Masashige, went to the Zheng Mansion to visit Zheng Zhibao, expressing gratitude to the Zheng family for not making enemies of the Great Wa Kingdom, and hoping to continue to cooperate.

In this regard, Zheng Zhibao naturally greeted him with a smile and agreed repeatedly, and when he sent Inoue Masashi away, it can be said that the guests and hosts were happy and dispersed. But when he turned his head and returned to the house, he was speechless to the Japanese people: even if he really wanted to cooperate with the Japanese country, the information sent to the eldest brother was probably not in the hands of the eldest brother. Not to mention, the emperor had long expected that whether the sailors would fight these wouldn't or not just depended on whether the emperor made an order.

I'm a little worried, I don't know if the emperor knows the news that the Japanese army went to North Korea? Zheng Zhibao thought about it, and wondered in his heart again. remembered that the emperor explained before leaving, let him just inquire about the news, as for the delivery of the news, there were other arrangements, so he didn't have to worry about it.

So the question is, how did the emperor deliver the news? That's a problem!

After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, Zheng Zhibao simply didn't want to, and prayed to Mazu Niangniang, that there would be no accidents in the transmission of the news, and that it could be sent back in time!

In addition, when Inoue Masashige arrived at Tsushima Island, it encountered the rainy season, and the sea was very windy and rough, and he could not sail, so he had to stop in Tsushima Island.

This Tsushima country is made up of five islands, with an area of about square kilometers, belonging to the fiefdom of the Zong family, only a hundred miles from the Korean Peninsula, and you can see the opposite shore on a sunny day.

The clan of the clan, which rules the island, has always been subject to the Wa Kingdom. During the Korean War in the Wanli period, that is, during the Imjin War, this was the base of the Japanese army's attack on the Korean Peninsula, and now that the Japanese are attacking Korea again, it has naturally become their base again.

50,000 troops and 50,000 people are crowded on Tsushima, which can be said to be very crowded. It's a rainy day again, and many places can't treat people, and they have to eat, drink, and Lazar, so to speak, a lot of things happened on Tsushima Island, but they were suppressed by the lord of the clan clan, and even he himself has been accompanying Inoue Masashige, deliberately currying favor with this big eye fu (similar to the commander of the Daming Jinyi Guard) that everyone in the Tokugawa shogunate feared.

However, this Inoue Masashige had no pleasure at all and was a little worried about the Korean war. In addition, the reason why he commanded the troops also has a meaning, that is, the troops in the hands of the old middle Matsudaira Nobutsuna originally had 100,000, if you add these 50,000, the military power is too heavy, although Matsudaira Nobutsuna is Tokugawa Iemitsu's henchman, but Tokugawa Iemitsu is still not at ease, so he let Inoue Masatsuna come over, and there is a meaning of supervising the army.

As soon as the rain stopped and the waves were small, Inoue Masashige could not sit still, and immediately ordered to go to the Korean Peninsula, that is, to land in Busan.

As soon as he came ashore, he heard the Japanese people who had stayed behind in the base camp tell him that Matsudaira Nobutsuna had designated Seoul as a base for southern Korea, and that all supplies would be sent there. However, now Matsudaira Nobutsuna has rushed to Liaodong, and the grain has also been sent to Pyongyang by sea by the sailors who stayed behind. If all goes well, Pyongyang will be the stronghold of the Japanese state in the north of Korea.

After hearing these news, Inoue Masashige was very happy, after a gap of several decades, the important towns of Seoul and Pyongyang in North Korea once again fell into the hands of the Great Japanese State, and if the Qing State could be saved as an ally, this North Korea would completely belong to the Great Japanese State. Even if the Qing Kingdom can't be saved, now the local reinforcements will continue to come over. Even if there is a war with the Ming Kingdom, he will not be afraid.

At this time, it can basically be confirmed that the Great Wa Kingdom should be able to eat North Korea and realize the dream of many generations of Japanese heroes!

Thinking about this, Inoue Masashige was very happy. At this time, he didn't mean to be jealous of Matsudaira Nobutsuna. After all, he also participated in such a great feat, and he will inevitably leave a strong mark in the history books.

However, he was not happy for long, and the grain and grass on the ship were not unloaded, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna's urgent envoy arrived again.

"What?" Inoue Masashige was so frightened that he got up from the tatami mat, knocked over the desk in front of him, and didn't know that the tea was spilled on the ground, just stared at the messenger, and asked sharply: "Lao Zhong has withdrawn his troops back to Busan, and he has lost more than half of his troops, and he hasn't even seen a shadow of the Ming army?" ”

This result was too unexpected for him.

In any case, Matsudaira Nobutsuna is known as "Wisdom Izu" in the Great Wa Kingdom. Previously, he led the army to quell the Shimabara Rebellion, demonstrating his outstanding ability to lead the army in battle. It is also for this reason that the vanguard commander of the attack on Korea, Tokugawa Iemitsu will let him lead with confidence.

However, now, the best heroes of the Great Wa Kingdom, leading 100,000 Japanese troops, did not even see the face of the Ming army, and they were defeated, losing almost half of their troops, which is simply unbelievable that such a thing could happen!

Perhaps knowing that he would have this doubt, the messenger hurriedly explained: "My lord, the territory of Korea has been plundered by the Qing people to the point that it is rare to see even wild vegetables, and it is inaccessible to people, and it is impossible to get supplies on the spot. And the grain and grass of the army were wiped out by the Ming State Water Division. The 100,000-strong army has no food and grass supply, and it has encountered the rainy season in North Korea, and it is already very powerful that the old and middle-aged adults can safely bring back so many people and horses! ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said eagerly: "My lord, now the old and middle adults should be half the way away from Busan, but there is a danger of food and grass, and I hope that the adults can go to the rescue soon!" ”

Inoue Masashige heard that there were two big heads, and he felt a little confused, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to go north, and took food to meet Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and then remembered something, and he didn't even go out of the door, so he continued to ask the messenger: "Ming Guo Saishi?" Is it under the command of Zheng Yiguan, how many warships are there? ”

The Wa Kingdom is an island country, surrounded by the sea, and it is natural to pay more attention to the characters on the sea. Zheng Zhilong's name in the Wa Kingdom is still Zheng Yiguan, so the title is different.

"On the way to withdraw the troops, I didn't get much news." The messenger tried his best to tell Damu Fu everything he knew, "Without the banner of Zheng Yiguan, there are many sailors in the Ming Kingdom, and it is estimated that there are at least two hundred, and no one can say exactly how many." ”

Emperor Chongzhen explained, Zheng Zhilong naturally would not resist the decree and play the banner, and the Japanese people could guess if they wanted to.

At that time, the sailors of the two countries encountered, and the sailors of the Wa Kingdom were mostly grain ships, and when they saw it from afar, they knew that they were invincible, so they quickly turned around and fled.

As for those who fled ashore, they naturally did not dare to stay on the shore, and fled as far as they could. Among them, because of the credit of the construction and clearance, the number of these Japanese people who finally returned to the Japanese army alive is pitiful, and the information obtained by Matsudaira Nobutsuna is naturally limited.

After listening to Inoue, he was relieved.

If the Ming Navy Division only has two hundred warships, it is actually not much. What's more critical is that the commander of the Ming State Navy Division is not Zheng Zhilong, which is more beneficial to the Great Wa Kingdom. According to the previous understanding, a large part of the Ming State Water Division was Zheng Zhilong's subordinates. Now that he has been punished by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, I believe that the morale of the Ming Water Master will definitely not be high. Whether to go to Edo and ask Zheng Zhibao to come over, this question is worth thinking about.

There is also a question, that is, why did the Ming Navy appear in the waters of North Korea, and where were they going? According to Matsudaira Nobutsuna's explanation, it was because of the Qing allied envoy who reported the news. In this case, after the Ming State Sailor robbed the Great Wa State Sailor, will he return, or where will he go? That's another problem!

In fact, there are a lot of problems, Inoue Masato thought about it for a while, had a headache, shook his head, and simply didn't want to, the most important thing at the moment is to save the army in the old school first, and other things can be slowed down first.

As a result, when the second group of Japanese troops arrived in Korea, they divided another 10,000 troops, led by Inoue Masayagge himself, escorted the 70,000 or 80,000 troops on the road, and traveled north day and night to meet Matsudaira Nobutsuna.

As for the Japanese who remained in Busan, they were resting and waiting for the next military order. Whether to stay in Korea and continue to occupy Korea, or to withdraw to the Japanese state first to see the situation, this is not up to Inoue Masashige, and he can only send someone back to Edo to report the news as soon as possible.

In the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, Daegu, an important place for inland transportation in Lingnan, is Daegu in later generations (renamed in the 26th year of the Joseon Emperor Yingjo in order to avoid Confucius), and the two armies of the Japanese people met.

Seriously, when these two armies saw each other, it was really an exciting scene.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna immediately had tears in his eyes, and he was even more excited than seeing his relatives, and many Japanese people immediately sat on the ground and cried. It's finally back, it's not easy!

And the Inoue Masashige Department was shocked and quickly couldn't recognize the army in front of them, which is the army of the Japanese country, it is simply called the Hanako army!

didn't say it, this meeting, immediately bury the pot and make rice, and eat a full meal first. Moreover, when Matsudaira Nobutsuna's department saw that he had to eat again, he relaxed his strength in his heart, and he didn't want to move at all.

As for Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he naturally met Inoue Masashige for the first time, but he didn't see the courtesy, and Inoue Masashige immediately asked about the specific process of this strange battle. There are some things that the messenger can't tell, so he can know more clearly by asking Matsudaira Nobutsuna in person. And understanding this situation is also his duty as a big eye.
