When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked him, "Lu Qing, but there is a problem with this tea?" ”

As soon as they heard this, Lan Tianbao and other attendants who were waiting on the side were all startled.

The emperor has a problem drinking tea, the seriousness of this matter can be imagined!

Fortunately, after Lu Xiangsheng heard this question, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen is worried about this rainy day, and it is not about this tea. ”

Speaking of this, seeing the nervous appearance of Lan Tianbao and the other chamberlains, he added: "Your Majesty's royal tea is naturally top-notch." ”

Hearing this, Lan Tianbao and the others couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, they were almost scared to death just now!

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't think about the reaction of this sentence at all, his attention had already shifted to the weather, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "What is Lu Qing worried about this rainy day?" ”

He had already said before that the Japanese army was mainly based on bird guns, and they were all from arquebuses. Therefore, if it rains, there is basically no spear that is useful. It will be very beneficial for the Ming army to destroy the Wa State. After all, if nothing else, the height and weight of both parties alone are not at the same level.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, shouldn't it be a good thing that it's raining?

"Your Majesty, the rain is quite heavy, and there is no sign of the rain stopping." Speaking of business, even if Lu Xiangsheng was already Liaodong Bo, he did not dare to sit on the seat given by the emperor to speak, but stood up and played respectfully, "The minister has been in Liaodong and North Korea for several years, if I am not mistaken, this kind of rain is continuous, often causing the rivers in North Korea to soar, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk. As a result, it was also difficult for the army to pursue the Japanese army. ”

Seriously, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't think about this. When I heard it at this time, I immediately became serious.

There are still more than 300 miles from Pyongyang on this side of the Yalu River, and if it rains continuously and the road is difficult to walk, even if the cavalry enters Korea to fight the Japanese army, I am afraid that the non-combat attrition will be much more than the combat attrition.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen's brows furrowed.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that he didn't speak, and was thinking about this issue seriously, so he continued to play: "Even if it has just rained now, if the cavalry goes to battle, it may be able to catch up with the Japanese army, but if this rain keeps falling, after the cavalry wins, what will happen to the supplies?" The grain and grass carried by the army must not be too much, even if they can hold out until the victory of the war, how can they return to Liaodong? These things, not to mention the danger of roads being blocked by skyrocketing rivers! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to him seriously: "Lu Qing is worried, this point must be considered!" ”

During the Xiaoice River period, there has always been a flood in the south and drought in the north, so the Chongzhen Emperor led troops to fight in the north, but did not experience continuous heavy rains affecting the war. The climate in North Korea may be influenced by the oceans on both sides of the Korean Peninsula, and this rainy season may cause flooding.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong captured a lot of grain from the Japanese army, and if he had these food supplies, he would not have to worry about the food and grass of the soldiers who went out on the expedition. However, from the eavesdropping system, Emperor Chongzhen knew that in addition to sending someone back to report the news, Zheng Zhilong still continued to go to Jeju Island with the seized grain according to his original will. In this way, you can't count on the grain from Zheng Zhilong's side.

"It's really inconvenient to have no phone!" When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Continuous rain can also have an impact on the pigeons. The most important thing is that the carrier pigeon transmits the message, which is to use the carrier pigeon to fly back to the nest no matter how far it is carried. If Zheng Zhilong is in Phi Island, then he can still communicate through carrier pigeons, as long as Emperor Chongzhen has carrier pigeons raised on Phi Island here. However, Zheng Zhilong is at sea and is heading to Jeju Island, and it is impossible for a carrier pigeon to really know Zheng Zhilong and fly to him.

After weighing it in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Between Lu Qing, what should be the best thing about the next war?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we can wait a few days to see if there is a possibility that the rain will stop!" Lu Xiangsheng obviously had a case in his abdomen, and immediately replied, "If it stops, it means that Weichen is too worried, and he can send cavalry to pursue him." If the rain doesn't stop, it's better to wait for the rain in Korea to pass before launching an offensive! ”

Emperor Chongzhen told him about the situation on the side of the Japanese army, so he knew something. If the emperor is not here, or if he leads the Dongjiang army to guard here, maybe he will lead the army to chase down. But at this time, according to Emperor Chongzhen's personality preferences, he finally gave a prudent advice.

After listening to this, Emperor Chongzhen thought seriously for a while, and finally nodded and said: "What Qing said is reasonable, I naturally put soldiers first. As for my enemies, if the monks can't run the temple, I will clean them up sooner or later. ”

Zheng Zhilong's move has already been played, even if he doesn't chase it here, don't think about it when he arrives at the Japanese army in North Korea. Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and sneered in his heart: What if these Japanese soldiers finally ran back to the Japanese country? As long as I want him to die, it will be useless to run to the American continent!

So, in the next few days, although some generals came to ask for battle, because as the emperor said, it was already raining now. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree.

At this time, he only cared about two things, one was whether the gods would come according to his wishes, and the other was the movement of the Japanese army in Pyongyang.

As a result, three days later, the rain did not stop at all, and the rivers swelled, and the night that was scattered in Korea was not harvested, and it was reported that a road had been washed away by floods. In addition, the Japanese army in Pyongyang could not wait for the rain to stop, because the grain and grass could not be sustained, and they were forced to retreat south in the rain, and they were getting farther and farther away from the Yalu River.

These two reasons combined, Emperor Chongzhen decided not to wait any longer, explained the situation, and left Lu Xiangsheng to lead 10,000 troops to guard the Yalu River area, in case the possible Japanese army suddenly went north again, which would have an impact on Hong Chengchou's restoration of Liaodong.

After that, he led the rest of the army and returned to Beijing.

At this point, the series of wars in which the Ming Dynasty recovered Liaodong finally came to an end.

Beginning in the eleventh year of Wanli, the Liaodong Jianyu Rebellion, which lasted for sixty-two years, was finally suppressed by the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen led the army back to Beijing, the Japanese army also kept retreating south.

However, the Korean Peninsula coincided with the rainy season, and the southward retreat of the Japanese army was naturally greatly affected by the torrential rains. Not to mention the muddy roads along the way, there are often cases where they are blocked by floods. If there is enough food and grass in the army, maybe Matsudaira Nobutsuna will choose a place to camp and wait for the rainy season to pass.

However, there is a shortage of food and grass in the Japanese army, and if you stay in one place and don't leave, the devil knows when this rain will fall, and you will starve to death if you don't eat!

As a result, the retreat of the Japanese army to the south was really a Tang monk learning scriptures, and he had to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.

Those who fell ill and died, those who were swept away by the flood, those who were left behind, all kinds of situations, and the first 100,000 Japanese soldiers, when they returned to Seoul with great difficulty, were less than 60,000.

Faced with such a result, Matsudaira Nobutsuna wanted to cry without tears.

In Seoul, there is still a shortage of food and grass. Moreover, after the Japanese army came to Korea, they did not fight a single battle, at least the army did not fight a single battle, but only did a long-distance training march, and as a result, they lost almost half of their men and horses. The blow to the morale of the Japanese army can be said to be very large.

In this state, the Japanese army can no longer fight. Matsudaira Nobutsuna can maintain the army without chaos and maintain the system, which has already lived up to his reputation as "Wisdom Izu".

Seeing this situation in the army, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was afraid that the Ming army on the Yalu River would chase after him, and he didn't even dare to stay in Seoul any longer, so after a little rest, he began to continue to retreat south, and at the same time let people fly to report to the Japanese country, inform Tokugawa Iemitsu of the situation, and obtain Tokugawa Iemitsu's permission to withdraw his troops from Korea.

…………

On Zheng Zhilong's side, the rainy season also has an impact on him. Although it is sailing by the sea, sometimes the waves are too strong and you can only stay on the shore. In this way, it took longer than expected to reach Jeju Island.

Or maybe it was raining and tired all day, and Zheng Zhilong finally rushed to Jeju Island on a sunny day.

It is rare to have a sunny day, and the Korean people on Jeju Island, no, are now the people of the Ming Dynasty, and many of them are ready to go to sea to fish. There are many people by the sea. If you stay in the house again, it will be moldy, no one wants to stay in the house, and no one is happy to stay in the house if you have money.

The appearance of Zheng Zhilong's water division immediately detonated the entire Jeju Island. At least on the port where he landed, it was really empty. Almost all the nearby Daming people threw down their work and rushed to the port to see the excitement.

Lin Qingye also rushed to hear the news, looking at the Daming Sailor who was already very close to the sea, it was so vast that he could hardly see the condition of how many boats, he knew that the matter that Emperor Daming explained to him should be about to start.

And this means that the Ming Dynasty should have solved the Liaodong Jianyu.

Thinking that the incomparably powerful Jianyu might be solved by the Ming Dynasty, Lin Qingye couldn't wait to see the commander of the water division to ask about the situation.

Seriously, in his life, his greatest wish, in addition to becoming a Ming man, is to watch Jianyu perish!

However, he is a Korean, and he has a lot to deal with the Japanese people, and in anxious waiting, Lin Qingye suddenly found that there seemed to be a few Japanese ships in the Ming army. Others may not be able to see it, but he can tell the difference between the Ming warship and the Japanese warship.

Then another question arises: what is the situation?

He couldn't guess the truth of the matter, so he had to wait and ask.

Seeing the grand occasion on the shore, Zheng Zhilong's flagship, escorted by two warships, was the first to dock.

Lin Qingye had dealt with Zheng Zhilong and knew his flagship, so he gave up his eagerness to catch a Ming army soldier and ask about the situation, immediately sorted out his appearance, and then took his subordinates and hurriedly greeted Zheng Zhilong on the flagship.
