The Japanese army was all relieved. With their little short legs, it is really not easy to rush from Seoul to Pyongyang in such a short time!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the commander of the Japanese army, the Tokugawa shogunate's elder, and the most trusted Tokugawa iemitsu, ordered the army to rest, but the scouts could not stop, and then continued to march north to spy on the news of Liaodong.

Standing at the head of Pyongyang, looking at the Taedong River flowing southward, and looking at the grain fields outside Pyongyang, Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't help but smile. These are all good places, and now they are owned by the Great Wa Kingdom, and the large piece of land from Busan to Seoul alone can feed an unknown number of Japanese people.

In the past, the Wa Kingdom was limited by land, but now it is the opposite, subject to population restrictions. When I went back to see the Shogun, I should suggest that I encourage childbearing. Only when there are enough Japanese people can they turn back and have enough troops to occupy the whole world. Otherwise, even if the Ming Kingdom is defeated, the Great Wa Kingdom will not have so many people to rule?

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the Qing Guoren not far behind him.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna naturally knew that this Qing man was actually from the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a Ming talent, but he was dedicated to serving the Qing Dynasty. There should be a lot of people like him, and when the Great Wa Kingdom occupies the entire Ming Kingdom, there should be many Ming people who will compete to serve the Great Wa Kingdom.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into him, so he stretched out his hand and beckoned Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng revisited the old place and saw this Pyongyang city again, and he actually felt emotion in his heart. I think that at the beginning, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji led the main force of the Qing Dynasty to attack Pyongyang, and in that battle, he almost defeated Pyongyang and eliminated the Dongjiang Army, but unfortunately he fell short and failed to kill that Lu Xiangsheng.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Matsudaira Nobutsuna beckoning to him, so he hurriedly walked over quickly, nodded like a Japanese man and said, "My lord? ”

Whether the Qing Dynasty can be saved, it is estimated that there is little hope. Fan Wencheng knows this. In this case, it is better to curry favor with this powerful man of the Japanese kingdom first, and when he turns back and is desperate, he can also get shelter!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at it, and suddenly asked with a smile: "You are famous in the Ming Kingdom, why did you end up serving in the Qing Kingdom?" The prosperity of the Qing Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom is not a star and a half apart? ”

Fan Wencheng never expected that Matsudaira Nobutsuna would ask such a question. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly showed a look of righteous indignation and said: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is mediocre, and the court is even more traitorous ministers, so that the people are not able to make a living, and the people are living in dire straits. Although he is not talented, he can't bear to see such injustice in the world, Gu vows to crusade against injustice and return peace to the people of the world! ”

"Oh?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna listened, and said with a smile on his face, "But I have a lot of contacts with the Central Plains Dynasty, but I have also heard a sentence that my son is not ugly." Even if the elders are no longer right, they should try their best to change it, not kill it, right? ”

"......" Fan Wencheng listened, and his face immediately turned red, a little embarrassed. He couldn't figure out for a moment why this widow suddenly asked this, was there something wrong with his brain?

But no matter what, he is a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the Japanese country, even if he asks a question that is difficult for himself, he has to answer it well.

Thinking so, Fan Wencheng said: "Don't hide it from the old and middle adults, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom are all decayed, which is like the kings and ministers of the Great Wa Kingdom, which is thriving, and people are happy to yearn for it." The villain thinks that the Zhu family of the Ming Kingdom is irretrievable, and the Central Plains should also change its owner. ”

Hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was very useful, so he nodded and said: "Yes, the person who knows the times is Junjie, you are very good, very good!" ”

Hearing the compliment, Fan Wencheng hurriedly smiled, and was about to test him again, seeing if he defected to the Japanese State, I don't know what official position he would entrust?

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a scout speeding from the south, and looking at the hurried appearance, it seemed that there was something urgent. So, he had to put this thought to a halt first, because Matsudaira Nobutsuna had also noticed that there was no smile on his face, and he turned to look at the scout who was speeding outside the city.

However, before the scouts arrived, a voice sounded behind them: "My lord, the food carried by the army is very expensive now, is it better to reduce some supplies during the rest period?" ”

When Matsudaira Nobutsuna heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was his grain and grass officer, frowned and thought for a while, and then replied to him: "No, the army is about to face a strong enemy, and we can't treat the soldiers badly in terms of food." The grain transported by the sailor should not be much slower than that on land, and it will arrive in a few days, and the food will be worry-free! ”

"Hey!" Hearing this, the grain and grass officer responded, turned and left, and arranged for the army to eat and lodging.

This Japanese army has been plotting against the mainland for a long time, and since it has the opportunity to occupy the land, it has been preparing for it since last year. The army is pulling, and of course this grain and grass is well prepared. Therefore, he did not think that the Japanese army would have the food problem encountered by the Qing State, so he was relieved to explain it.

However, before the grain and grass official left the city, the scout had already rushed to the head of the city, and there was still some distance from Matsudaira Nobutsuna, so he couldn't wait to say: "My lord, I met the sailor on the beach, and said that the grain and sailor met the Ming sailor, and now the whole army has been wiped out!" ”

"What?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna was taken aback when he heard such news, and asked in a lost voice.

Fan Wencheng on the side has been learning the Japanese language by heart these days, some of the more important words, he has just mastered, and he just understands the words "grain" and "sailor", combined with the expression and demeanor of the scout and Matsudaira Nobutsuna, suddenly, he felt bad, and guessed a little, as if the grain road of the Japanese country was cut off by the Ming army!

After the scout repeated it again, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face was already very ugly, stared at the scout, and asked him: "Why did you meet the Ming Naval Division so far away in North Korea?" Why? Also, how many warships are there in the Ming Division, and who will lead the army......"

A barrage of questions were asked, as if the scout were the commander of the sailors.

However, this scout met the sailors who fled ashore on the beach, and he could only understand the generalization, and he knew that the matter was serious, and he ran back to report it as soon as possible, so why do you know so much?

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was in a hurry, and seeing that the scout couldn't answer, he stepped forward and opened the bow left and right, scolding non-stop with "Baga, Baga".

The scout didn't dare to resist, so he could only make a "hi" sound every time he hit his ear scraper, which means "you hit it right, you hit it well, just hit it".

After venting for a while, Matsudaira Nobutsuna finally felt a little more comfortable, and he came back to his senses, knowing that he was a little anxious, so he stopped slapping and shouted: "Immediately listen to understand the military situation, there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Hey!" When the scout responded, his mouth was covered in blood, and his words were a little unclear. Looking at Fan Wencheng on the side, he felt that his mouth was also a little painful. In the future, if you take refuge in this Japanese country, and the master is not satisfied, and he also smokes his big ears like this, then do you have to bow your head and bend down and let these dwarves smoke yourself?

Watching the scout run down the city quickly, the grain and grass officer who heard the movement was anxious, and waited aside to see how Matsudaira Nobutsuna would deal with this matter.

At this time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was very angry. The army rushed to Pyongyang, but the food sent by the sailors was gone, so how could the army go to Liaodong? The march for many days suddenly seemed ridiculous. No, the army can't even stay in Pyongyang, and has to retreat until the supply of grain and grass can be supplied!

In any case, since he was known as the "Wisdom Izu" and was the most relied on confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu, of course he understood the impact of the lack of food and grass on the army.

In fact, the reason why his famous battle, that is, the suppression of the Shimabara Rebellion, was easier to suppress than the previous generals was because of the siege of the rebel army, so that the rebel army had no food and grass to continue and ran out of food.

Therefore, he actually attaches great importance to the problem of food for the army.

However, according to the previous news, the Ming navy was in Liaodong, and the Ming Emperor was attacking the Qing in Liaodong. The sailors transported grain over, and it was only from the mouth of the Taedong River to Pyongyang, and it was far from the border of Liaodong, no matter what, it was very safe!

However, now the grain and water division is completely wiped out. That is to say, the Ming naval division must be huge, so that the grain convoy escorted by warships can be annihilated in one fell swoop. In this way, the question arises, why did the Ming State Sailor suddenly appear so far away from Liaodong on a large scale? Did they get the news that the Great Wa Kingdom had sent troops to Korea and that grain was being shipped to Pyongyang by sea?

This thought flashed in his mind, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna felt that it was impossible, so he rejected the idea himself. Because Ming Guo can spy on this news and then respond, in terms of time, the possibility is very small!

If you don't understand it, Matsudaira Nobutsuna feels that his brain hurts, and there is a problem with the military rations, which will cause a big incident!

He hurriedly ordered the grain and grass officials to cut the food supply by half to save food, and in addition, he also began to retreat, not wanting to continue north to Liaodong.

If there is no food, what if you go to Liaodong? Sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? This kind of thing must not be done, even if Qing Guo is the father of the Wa Kingdom, he can't do it!

When he was worrying about this food, he saw a group of scouts from his side galloping towards Liaodong. Suddenly, Matsudaira Nobutsuna sighed in his heart, should there be bad news again?

Getting closer, he suddenly saw that something was wrong, because one of the scouts was obviously tall and big, and at first glance he was not a Japanese national.

Who is that man? This question suddenly flashed through Matsudaira Nobutsuna's mind.
