Haoge, who accompanied Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and Zheng Zhilong, who led the sailor, had a Grade A eavesdropping seed. Emperor Chongzhen learned from the Grade A eavesdropping seeds on their bodies that there was no more fighting on the Korean side for the time being.

Without a sailor, there would be no way to go to the sea to fight with Zheng Zhilong's department; Zheng Zhilong's department is a naval division, and land warfare is not his specialty, and there is no need to land to fight several times the enemy, but only patrolling back and forth in the Korean Strait to cut off the connection between the Japanese and North Korea.

Also, Zheng Zhibao of 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 far behind the news, will also get the news that the Korean Strait has been blocked by the Daming Navy. No matter how angry he is, even if he vomits blood like Huang Taiji, he must think of a way to contact the Japanese army on the Korean side. Therefore, on the side of the Japanese state, a larger fleet should be mobilized to go to Korea.

On the North Korean side, Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Masayaga Inoue are indeed capable people, and the initial army riots and routs have been suppressed by the two of them. Today, these Japanese people are fishing on the beach to replenish their goods, while eating everything they can eat on the shore, and even sent a small force to sweep the surrounding mountains to sweep the Koreans hiding in the mountains, in order to collect more food.

In addition, while trying to build wooden ships across the sea to contact the Japanese nation, the Japanese army was preparing and waiting for the Japanese side to meet them. The whole situation of these Japanese armies was basically difficult but not much chaotic. Because they firmly believed that the Wa side would send an army to save them.

After learning the basic situation, Emperor Chongzhen flew this situation to Lu Xiangshengna in Liaodong with carrier pigeons, and issued an order to him, because of food restrictions, if the whole army could not go to war, at least send a sufficient army to harass and suppress these Japanese army, and not give them the opportunity to wait calmly for rescue. If possible, it would be best to annihilate this Japanese army. However, the leader of the Japanese people, if he can be captured alive, he will be captured alive.

After this decree was announced, he inspected the royal textile mill under the control of the empress. It is still very cold in winter on the North Korean side, and it is time for the army over there to change a batch of cotton armor.

…………

Five or six days later, the will delivered by the carrier pigeon reached Lu Xiangsheng.

I have to say that if there was no news from Emperor Chongzhen, it would have been basically impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to get this news by not receiving it at night. Not to mention the distance, the most important thing is that his opponent is Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who is known as the "wisdom Izu" of the Japanese state. Therefore, the Japanese army is naturally guarding against the Ming army.

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

After all, he has an army of 100,000 under his command and has not fought a single battle, no matter what his opponent is, he is cautious.

But there is Emperor Chongzhen, who is plugged in, and the fact that the Japanese army is completely a silver spear and candle head is all placed in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng was naturally overjoyed. He didn't expect that the previous encounter of the sailors and the rainy season in Korea would cause such a big loss to the Japanese army! Moreover, the emperor has already deployed on Jeju Island, and has already sent Zheng Zhilong's naval division to annihilate the entire Japanese naval division, cutting off the retreat and supply of the Japanese army in Korea.

However, the army had to pass through the entire Korean Peninsula to fight at the southernmost tip of the war, and the duration of the war was indefinite, so this food logistics was indeed a problem.

After comprehensive consideration, Lu Xiangsheng finally decided that he himself would still sit on this side of the Yalu River and send his generals to lead more than 10,000 cavalry troops into Korea to fight.

In the past, when Emperor Chongzhen triumphed, he left more than 10,000 imperial forest troops in Liaodong, which were actually the cavalry in the hussar camp and the Beijing camp, as well as some of the cavalry troops of the eastern Mongolian tribes and the various ethnic groups in Liaodong who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Now plus the original Dongjiang Army, among these horses, who will they send? That's a problem!

Or seeing the opportunity for meritorious service, the generals who stayed in Liaodong asked for battle. There are a total of general soldiers Li Guozhu, Lu Da, Cao Bianjiao, as well as deputy generals Li Guo, Li Dingguo and others. Among them, Li Dingguo was originally a general, but he captured the grain given to Jianyu by the Japanese State, and defeated Haoge's department, and even captured Haoge alive, so in addition to rewarding the grain field, he was also promoted, and he was a deputy general known as the "deputy general soldier".

At this time, looking at the eager anticipation in the eyes of these generals, Lu Xiangsheng knew that their thoughts were to earn military merits and fight for a knighthood. However, due to the limitation of food and grass, only more than 10,000 cavalry troops could be sent, so only two or three generals could be selected to lead the troops.

After careful consideration, Lu Xiangsheng said to the generals: "According to the emperor's news, there should be about 80,000 Japanese troops on the opposite side, and more than 40,000 people. The general of the unified army led by him is a famous general of the Wa Kingdom, and is known as the wisdom of Izu. It was a very large civil unrest that exterminated the Wa Kingdom. And our army can only send more than 10,000 cavalry troops, thousands of miles away, how to deal with the enemy, this is a very high requirement for the general of the unified army......"

Although the generals of the Japanese army listened very powerfully, there were many Japanese soldiers and horses. However, these Ming generals present were all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, who would be afraid? Therefore, when they heard this, Cao Bianjiao and the others all wanted to pat their chests and assure, but they didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to give them a chance, and continued: "Therefore, for the sake of prudence and taking the past examples as a reference, this official decided to send two generals, Li Dingguo and Lu Da, to fight. ”

Hearing this, those who were not named were immediately disappointed. What a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions!

Lu Xiangsheng looked at their expressions, and naturally understood that they were grateful in their hearts, but they didn't care about this, and continued: "Lu Da has a steady temperament, and Li Dingguo is resourceful, and the two are Qi Zheng, this official believes that the two of you can meet the emperor's requirements, give enough pressure to the Japanese army, and on this basis, you can seek further fighters!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Lu Da and Li Dingguo responded with fists in their fists, both of them were overjoyed.

As soon as the military discussion ended, Cao Bianjiao stepped forward and patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder, and said enviously: "Remember to keep some Japanese robbers, don't kill them all." Gai Ming'er has enough food and grass, so let's go and beat those widows together. Brothers, it's better to be happy alone, right? ”

Hearing him drag such a sentence incomprehensibly, the other generals in the hall and the eunuchs in the prison couldn't help laughing.

At this time, when they faced foreign enemies, they had no fear at all, and they completely lost the fear atmosphere that the Ming army heard that they were going to fight Jianjiao. A series of victories, the experience of being able to easily destroy even the mighty Jianyu, had given them enough confidence.

Da Ming, invincible!

…………

In Lu Da, when Li Dingguo led the army into the territory of Korea, and the transport ships of the naval division were responsible for transporting grain and grass, and marched along the coastline to the south of Korea, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was far away in Edo, had already received the news from the North Korean side, and fainted with an "ah" sound.

After waking up, Tokugawa Iemitsu opened his mouth and scolded: "Yaga, what kind of wisdom Izu, is this going to kill the general?" ”

Most of the 100,000 Japanese troops in the early stage were the military power that Tokugawa Iemitsu could control, and he thought that with Matsudaira Nobutsuna's ability, he could at least give him a big victory, so that he could also give an explanation to other daimyo and let them see how wise he was to make this decision!

However, under his expectations, the first time the news came back was that as a powerful ally of the Wa State, the Qing State, which had almost lost the Ming State and even the Jingshi, was already in danger. Matsudaira Nobutsuna has already led the army to Liaodong to rescue, so that reinforcements can be sent 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 as soon as possible. At least at that time, North Korea was not already in the hands of the Japanese state, which was also a big gain. It is also for this reason that the second batch of troops went on the expedition, and there were 50,000 people, who were ready to farm and harvest grain on the land of Korea, and it became the territory of the Japanese state in the actual sense.

As a result, I didn't expect that the news came back for the second time, and it turned out to be that after the second batch of troops set foot in Korea, the Japanese naval division was completely wiped out by the Ming naval division, and the fire in the port of Busan was so bright that it could be seen very clearly on Tsushima Island, and even the land was burning. The fire was so great that it probably burned all the rations and everything.

The entire army of the naval division was annihilated, and the first thing Tokugawa Iemitsu blamed was not Inoue Masashige, the commander of the second batch of Japanese armies, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna, because in his opinion, the Ming army had run to the southernmost part of Korea. Such a huge sailor, no matter what, Matsudaira Nobutsuna must know and take precautions, right? And Inoue Masashige has only just passed to North Korea and is not familiar with anything.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Inoue Masashige is the eye of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the person in charge of monitoring the daimyo in various parts of the Japanese country, so it can be seen that Inoue Masashige must be Tokugawa Iemitsu's most confidant. And Matsudaira Nobutsuna is handling government affairs, and he can be regarded as Tokugawa Iemitsu's confidant, but there is also such a difference between these henchmen.

However, no matter how angry Tokugawa Iemitsu was, in his opinion, the 150,000 troops and 50,000 people who arrived in Korea must be saved. Not to mention, opening up contact with North Korea and eliminating the Ming naval division entrenched in the Korean Strait is the most urgent matter.

In desperation, Tokugawa Iemitsu could only gather troops, and it was also a loss that the Wa country was an island country, and the daimyo everywhere had a seaside, and there were a lot of warships under his hands. The east made up, the west made up, and another fleet came out.

During this period, Tokugawa Iemitsu even went to the Zheng Mansion in person, wanting to ask what was going on with the Ming State Sailor, how big the relationship was with the Zheng family, and should not be so an enemy of the Great Wa Kingdom?

But after all, he asked the Zheng family, and in order to reflect his corporal Lixian, he didn't let his subordinates inform him in advance, and was ready to give Zheng Zhibao a surprise: The shoguns have come to visit in person, which shows how much attention is paid to your Zheng family!
