However, Zheng Chenggong quickly came back to his senses, and was immediately overjoyed, for fear that the emperor would regret it, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order and will live up to His Majesty's kindness!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and in his plan, it was estimated that his center of gravity would move south from next year. Whether it is to pacify the Tusi Rebellion in the southwest or to look at the South Seas, it is the next focus. Zheng Chenggong's chess piece is to play first, and it can be used later.

When Zheng Chenggong excitedly led the order to retreat, Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not forget the Grade A eavesdropping seed that was rewarded to him. With this golden finger, even if it is the Zheng family's fleet, not everything is under their control.

After finishing this matter, Emperor Chongzhen began to pay attention to the Tusi Rebellion in the southwest again.

From the news of Ma Xianglin's Class A eavesdropping seeds, it can be seen that after the White Pole Army withdrew to Kunming, the Tusi in various places have been ready to move, and as far as Ma Xianglin has received so far, Yunnan has rebelled against two Tusi, and Shadingzhou's army has also left Ami Prefecture and become active again. On the Guizhou side, there has also been a toast.

Although Emperor Chongzhen's plan was to force out those who were anti-toast, no matter what, he still wanted to control the Tusi rebellion to a minimum. According to the time calculation, if there are still toasts who want to rebel, it is estimated that it will be about the same for another month. Next, the news of his pacification of Liaodong Jianyu will spread more and more clearly to these remote places in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, Tusi, who had not yet rebelled, was probably too frightened to rebel.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen decided to send a secret decree to Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Shaanxi, to prepare his army for war, and when the decree arrived, he could immediately lead his troops to the Yunnan-Guizhou area through Sichuan.

In addition, the northern grasslands, at least for now, have subdued the Mongolian tribes, and the three tribes of Mobei have not yet been trusted. Therefore, the originally very important post of governor of Xuanda seems a bit redundant.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen decided to remove the governor of Xuanda, and Chen Qiyu took up the post of newly established governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. He also sent a decree to the neighboring provinces of Yunnan, demanding the rectification of the garrison army.

All of them are preparing for the Tusi Rebellion that will exterminate Yungui in the future.

…………

When Emperor Chongzhen was busy with these, there were finally new changes on the Korean Peninsula.

On the sea of Tsushima Island, there were countless warships and fluttering sun flags, announcing to everyone that they were the sailors of the Wa Kingdom.

On the deck of the flagship, which was guarded by many warships, there was a Taishi chair, and a gray-bearded Japanese official sat on it. Behind him, stood more than a dozen Japanese generals.

At this time, the lord of the Tsushima domain, Zong Yicheng, knelt in front of this white-bearded Japanese official, and said with a flattering smile: "My subordinates are late to welcome the eldest lord, and I ask the eldest lord to atone for his sins!" ”

This old man is none other than the old man of the Japanese country, Ii Naotaka, who is fifty-five years old this year. If it is in the original history, it will live for another fourteen years. However, in this position, because of the defeat of the old middle Matsudaira Nobutsuna to lead the army to conquer Korea, he had to lead the army at his age. From the moment he embarked on the journey, he had a serious face, as if someone owed him money. Of course, it can indeed be thought that Tokugawa Iemitsu owes him.

Hearing the words of Zong Yicheng, a junior, he just waved his hand and said with a serious face: "Get up and talk, what is the situation of the Ming army on the other side, tell me carefully!" ”

"Hey!" When Zong Yicheng heard this, he immediately responded, stood up respectfully, and then told Jing Yi Naotakaka: "Just half a month ago, there was a Ming army on the side of Busan, and then the Ming Navy Division was transferred to the port of Busan......"

Hearing this, Jing Yi Naotaka's face suddenly moved, a little surprised, and immediately interrupted him and asked, "How is the Japanese army in North Korea, is there any news?" ”

Zong Yicheng heard it and was about to answer, but he heard Jing Yi Naoxiao add another sentence: "The commander of the Ming State Water Division, is it Zheng Yiguan?" ”

It has been a long time since the news reached Edo, and it had been a long time since the army was gathered, the warships were mobilized, and they were rushed here again. Therefore, he is very concerned about the latest situation here. In addition, although he has basically determined that the commander of the Ming State Navy should be Zheng Yiguan, the pirate king, he still holds the hope in his heart, what if it is not!

"Back to the eldest boss, the Ming State Sailor, a few days ago, he did play the Zheng character handsome flag, but his subordinates did not see Zheng Yiguan, so they didn't dare to confirm it!" Zong Yicheng told the truth, and he didn't dare to hide anything in front of Jing Yi Naotaka.

Hearing this, Jing Yi Naoxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it must be Zheng Yiguan's right. Forget it, it's him, it's him, anyway, before he came, he was already treated as the commander of the Ming State Water Division, and he dealt with it.

Thinking so, he immediately urged again: "What about the war situation in Korea?" ”

"Back to the eldest lord, the Ming State Naval Division is blocking the sea, and his subordinates can't send people to get in touch with Lao Zhong and Lord Damu Fu." Zong Yicheng replied with a look of embarrassment, "However, according to the speculation of his subordinates, it may be more difficult for Lao Zhong and Lord Damu Fu. But to show that the army has eliminated them, the subordinates can't believe it. As far as the subordinates observe, it seems that there are not too many Ming troops on the shore! ”

This situation is similar to what Jing Yi Naotaka himself estimated, after all, the 150,000 Japanese troops before and after are still elite, plus 50,000 people, even if they can't win the Ming army, they can always do it if they hold on to Korea for a period of time.

When the first Japanese invaded Korea and fought with the Ming army, Naotaka Ii was only two years old and didn't understand anything; However, when the second Japanese invasion of Korea and the Ming army were at war, he was already seven years old. Due to his family background, he has heard a lot about these two wars since he was a child.

At that time, the troops sent to Korea by the Wa State were 150,000 for the first time and 140,000 for the second time. and the coalition forces of Ming and North Korea, that is a good fight, winning and losing each other. The last time, if it weren't for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, the final result is unknown!

Of course, the Korean war did not go as smoothly as expected, which was one of the reasons for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's worsening condition. In the aftermath, the Wa side believed that their military strength was actually similar to that of the Ming State. Otherwise, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not have launched the Second Korean War again after the First Korean War.

These backgrounds, for Jing Yi Naotaka, also have such an impression that even if the Ming army is relatively strong, it is impossible to be much different from the Japanese army. Therefore, he agreed with Zong Yicheng's speculation that the Japanese army was trapped in Korea.

However, Naotaka Ii did not carefully analyze the background of the two wars sent to Korea during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era and the Tokugawa Iemitsu era this time, which were actually very different.

First, the Ming Dynasty has just experienced the war of exterminating the Jianyu, and all the departments are the elite of the Ming army, which can be regarded as a battle-hardened army. On the side of the Japanese army, it is no longer an army that has just experienced the tempering of the Warring States Period, and it can be regarded as an army that has been peaceful for a long time.

Second, because of the existence of Emperor Chongzhen, the son of the plane, he had long expected the Japanese army, and he knew in advance that the Japanese army was going to invade Korea, how large it was, and so on. This is not the same as the original Wanli Emperor period, just figuring out the intentions of the Wa State, the size of the Wa army, etc., I don't know how much time and energy was wasted, it is simply a difference between heaven and earth!

Third, during the Wanli period, the sailors on the side of the Ming Dynasty were average. At this time, the Daming Sailor was the fittest from many pirates, and was led by Zheng Zhilong, the pirate king. He had already participated in the Liaodong War before, and had already made advance preparations with the Japanese Navy Division as an imaginary enemy.

Fourth, luck is also on the side of Daming! When Zheng Zhilong led the sailors to the Korean Strait, he ran into the Japanese army's grain convoy on the way, and was able to hit the Japanese army from the fatal problem of grain. Coupled with the rainy season on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses under the double attack.

Fifth, the invasion of Korea by the Japanese army during the Wanli period was able to feed the war with war, at least replenish part of the military supplies, and reduce the logistical pressure on the army; However, during the Chongzhen period, the Japanese army invaded Korea, and the entire Korean Peninsula had been woolened many times by Jianjiao, and even later, they were exterminated and slaughtered, so that here on the Korean Peninsula, there was really no rooster crow for thousands of miles, and the white bones were exposed in the wild. It was easy for the Japanese army to capture Korea, but they could not get any supplies from Korea. All military supplies must be brought from our own country.

Sixth, it was because of the son of Emperor Chongzhen that Zheng Zhilong led the sailors to the Korean Strait as soon as possible, and secretly attacked and destroyed the Japanese sailors, thus mastering the sea control of the Korean Strait and cutting off the grain route of the Japanese army in Korea. The lethality of this thing is far more powerful than swords, guns, swords, halberds, muskets and artillery!

Therefore, Naotaka Ii is still optimistic about the Korean war!

However, he didn't know it himself, and after asking Zong Yicheng about the details, he had a perfect plan in his heart.

And although Zong Yicheng was a little reluctant in his heart, since he had already chosen to hug the thighs of the country, he could only agree and do what Jing Yi Naoxiao requested.

After Zong Yicheng returned by boat, Jing Yi Naoxiao instructed his subordinates again: "The commander of the Ming State Naval Division, it is confirmed that it is Zheng Yiguan, so that the things discussed with our guests can also take effect!" Go, ask them to come over for a while. ”

When his men heard this, they immediately agreed, and immediately sent a signal from the flagship, conveying the order to go down.

On the other hand, Zong Yicheng rushed back to Tsushima Island first, and immediately made arrangements according to the order of Naotaka Ii.
