The military situation in various places is in front of Chongzhen, Chongzhen just passed his 27th birthday a year ago, although it is not as easy to show his emotions as in previous years, but he is still childish.

Chongzhen read the folds one by one: "Wang Chengen, what is going on." I didn't have any will, why did Yulin Jun and Zheng Zhilong go to Korea, why did Wu Sangui go to attack Daling City, did they all act on their own? ”

Wang Chengen thought about how to reply before handing over these recitals to Chongzhen, and communicated with the cabinet: "Your Majesty, Yang Wenyue's recital also said that the 90,000 Tartar army is going to attack Dongying, and once the Tartars conquer Dongying, the Japanese will invade the southeast coast of our Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, although the tax revenue in the area of Qiongzhou Mansion and Datong Xuanfu is increasing day by day, the southeast coastal area is still the important tax area of my Ming Dynasty. The slave maid also asked the meaning of the cabinet, Wu Sangui's attack on Daling City was for a reason, and the Tartars' Haoge Shuai 20,000 soldiers and horses arrived in Daling City, with the intention of invading the south, so Wu Sangui took the initiative to attack, but in fact he wanted to block the Tartars in Daling City. Now the most important thing to pay attention to is Lushun, 50,000 Tartars attacked Lushun, Zhang Shujie's Shenji Battalion and Quick Gun Team fought very hard, and they were all His Majesty's elite. ”

Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen mention the cabinet, and couldn't help but snort: "Wang Chengen, what do you think of Liu Yuliang?" ”

Wang Chengen didn't expect Chongzhen to suddenly ask this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Chongzhen snorted again and threw a copy of the excerpt in front of Wang Chengen: "This is the excerpt of the six departments to impeach him in the matter, and I can't use him anymore." ”

Wang Chengen picked up the fold and looked at it: "Your Majesty, Liu Yuliang is indeed not a great talent, but I don't know what Your Majesty's holy will is?" ”

Chongzhen didn't answer, but pulled the topic back again: "Lushun needs to send troops over there, but where do you think it is appropriate to deploy troops?" ”

Wang Chengen replied: "Your Majesty, the 5,000 members of the Yulin Army have arrived in Dengzhou a year ago, and the total strength of the Tianjin Sanwei is about 10,000, Your Majesty can consider sending them." ”

"Five thousand more people from Yulin Bay? It seems that they are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen said with a smile, "Wang Chengen, you go to draw up an order, and the five thousand Yulin Army and the Tianjin Wei Ten Thousand soldiers and horses will immediately aid Lushun." Tell Yang Wenyue and Zhang Shujie that Lushun must not lose. ”

Zeng Guangxian walked into the captain's room of the Pearl: "Beiming, we can't fight like this anymore." We don't have an army, so we can't defeat Tsushima and Pusan. ”

Jiang Beiming was also anxious: "I also know that it's useless to fight like this, but what good way can I do it." We haven't been able to find Tao Min's fleet yet, and Han Wantao and they haven't come to Busan, so I guess they're in trouble somewhere. ”

Zeng Guangxian closed the door of the captain's room: "Beiming, I have an idea. What do you think Tao Min's next move will be if we withdraw our troops? ”

"We withdraw our troops? Where to retreat, do you want to go back to Lushun or to find Han Wantao? ”

"You answer my question first, what will we do if we remove Taomin?"

Jiang Beiming thought for a while: "Guangxian, Han Wantao, although they didn't come to Busan, I don't think they will be in much danger." As you can see, the new Korean army in Busan and Tsushima is quite numerous, and Tao Min's intention is to go to Japan. If we withdraw our troops, then Totoshi will definitely attack Nagasaki. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Zeng Guangxian said, "We will withdraw our troops, we will not return to Lushun, nor will we go to North Korea, let alone Jeju Island, we will go to Nagasaki first." ”

"Guangxian, I've also thought about this way." Jiang Beiming voiced his doubts, "But how do you know when Tao Min will go to Nagasaki, and if he drags on for a few months, then can we stay in Nagasaki for a few months?" ”

"I think he should be quick." Zeng Guangxian analyzed, "If we come to Tsushima Island this time, Tao Min will definitely know that the war in Lushun has subsided." Han Wantao is blocked, and Tao Min will also know that Nanpu is gone. He will never stay in Busan and Tsushima, and he will never give us time to go back and recuperate, and he will definitely seize the opportunity to conquer Japan. So as soon as we withdraw, he will immediately go to fight Japan. Even if Tao Min doesn't act so quickly, we can conquer Japan first, and conquering Japan is also something that Zheng Zhilong originally agreed upon. ”

Jiang Beiming pondered for a long time: "Guangxian, are you really sure that the best way for us to go to Nagasaki?" ”

Zeng Guangxian nodded: "It should be the best way." ”

"Okay, let's go to Nagasaki." Jiang Beiming stood up and said categorically, "Pass the order, all the warships withdraw from the battle, return to Jeju Island first, and then go to Nagasaki." Also, put another carrier pigeon and tell the family about the situation. ”

The Suwon Line continued another day of fierce fighting, and in the evening both sides withdrew their troops and ceased fighting. Xu Lang sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, smoking one cigarette after another.

"Don't smoke it." The inability to break through the Suwon defense line made Han Wantao upset, "Hurry up and think of a way with Gao Chen to break through this defense line." ”

Xu Lang threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground: "Wan Tao, we can't fight here anymore." In the past time, we have also suffered casualties of two or three hundred Yulin troops, and Zheng Zhilong's people have suffered even more casualties. With 10,000 reinforcements from Dolgon, we can't break through the defense, and we're running out of food. ”

In order to facilitate the rapid march, Han Wantao only brought a month's military rations, and he was blocked in Suwon for nearly a month.

"Where can we fight if we don't fight here, our mission is to march into Busan, do you want to bypass this line of defense?"

"This line of defense can't be bypassed, and we can't get around, otherwise we will be attacked from the back." Xu Lang lit another cigarette, "Wan Tao, we can only retreat, and we will retreat to Seoul first." If Dolgon comes after us, we will stick to Seoul and let people go back to Dengzhou to deliver the letter, Xu Tianbin should be in Dengzhou by now, let him come to reinforce us. If Dolgon doesn't chase, let's go back to Nanpu directly, Nanpu still has our Daming Fu boat, take the boat back to Lushun. ”

Han Wantao didn't understand very much: "Why should we retreat, what if we retreat Beiming, they should have been fighting on Tsushima Island by now." ”

"Beiming doesn't have any problems with them, we have the Pearl, and we can completely crush Tao Min at sea." Xu Lang continued, "I'm worried about Huang Taiji right now. After we came to North Korea, only the fast gun team and the Shenji battalion of more than 10,000 people were left in Lushun who could have combat effectiveness. I think Huang Taiji will not stand still, he will either come to North Korea, or go to Lushun, the most likely is to Lushun. ”

"Isn't Zhang Hai in Ningyuan?" Han Wantao asked again, "If Huang Taiji goes to Lushun, Wu Sangui will also act, and Huang Taiji will also take this into account." ”

"Wu Sangui will not go all out even if he has action. Shengjing now has more than 70,000 troops, and Huang Taiji can completely divide his troops into two ways, all the way to Daling City to block Wu Sangui, and all the way to recover Lushun. I'm worried about Lushun now, Wang Zhaoxing and Leng Tianbing are still there. ”

"Since that's the case." Han Wantao made up his mind, "Let's retreat to Seoul first." ”

"Wan Tao, have you decided?"

"Decided, what else do you have?"

"Nothing." Xu Lang smiled, "Since you have decided, I will release a carrier pigeon to tell the situation to the family." ”
