I saw that on the shore of Shikoku Island, there were countless ships docked densely. If it weren't for the lanterns hanging on some of the boats, I guess you would have to lean up to find out.

With so many ships, it is obvious that they could not be the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At the first sight of so many boats, Hauge was so frightened that he wanted to jump into the sea. Because of his huge fleet, there were no escort ships at all. On this sea, if you encounter the warships of the Tokugawa shogunate, you will only be beaten. One of the most likely endings is that Hauge, the main team, will feed all the fish.

If this happens, the situation of the war will inevitably be rewritten. No matter how strong the combat power of the remnants of the Manchu Qing is, it is impossible to afford to lose!

Just when Hauge was so frightened that he wanted to quickly order to escape, the leader of the Japanese people on his flagship, Iguchi Noki, was an experienced fisherman and had good eyesight, and immediately said a little suspiciously: "What's the matter, there are so many boats, it seems that no one ...... them"

"What?" When Hauge heard this, he was quite surprised, and hurriedly asked, "How can there be no one?" Did you read that right? ”

Qian Fugui, who was standing beside Haoge, made a "pop", and immediately knew that there were so many ships here on Shikoku Island, which should be the fleet that the emperor reminded him to quietly set off from Edo.

Surprised, he immediately informed the sudden situation through the chat group, and then immediately quit the chat group and continued to pay attention to the dynamics in front of him. This is equivalent to that he is broadcasting live to Daming's side, but it is unknown whether there are viewers over there.

"I read that right!" Iguchi Noki pointed to the fleet in the distance, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Your Highness, please look, over there, and over there, the difference between someone and no one is like this......"

After explaining, without waiting for Hauge to speak, he became suspicious again, his mind full of puzzlement, as if he was talking to himself: "It seems to ...... It seems that these are troop carriers, and none of them are warships. The Tokugawa thief should not be short of warships, where did he go? ”

Hauge can't say what he said! He also listened strangely, and asked Noki Iguchi what he thought about distinguishing these details.

Since there were no people on the other side of the ship, and there were no warships, then he didn't panic.

Qian Fugui listened carefully, listened to it live, and spread the news to the chat group.

The two yellow flag leaders on the other ships were also frightened, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to go any further, but they just asked Hauge if he wanted to retreat?

Hauge was not afraid at this time, so he was naturally not in a hurry, and asked his men to wait, while he was talking to Noki Iguchi. Of course, most of it was Noki Iguchi who was talking.

After a while, Noki Iguchi still asked the key question in puzzlement: "Why are there no escort ships?" And where the hell did the people on these boats go? It's weird! ”

Originally, he thought that no one could answer this question, at least in his opinion, these people of the Qing Dynasty were brave and powerful enough on land, but this sea thing was not what they were good at.

Who knows, at this moment, I heard a voice behind me: "Those warships should be going to support Osaka......"

Hearing this, Haoge and Inoki at the mouth of the well both turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Qian Fugui who was talking. After his reminder, Hauge immediately echoed: "It must be! That's what my nephew thinks too. ”

Noki Iguchi heard both of them say this, and when he thought about it, it seemed that there was indeed a possibility.

Qian Fugui didn't wait for him to say anything, and explained: "On the side of the Tokugawa shogunate, I'm afraid I didn't think that we would have ships, so they are very relieved on this sea." On the Osaka side, the emperor is attacking us in order to cover us. The warships guarding these ships will definitely come to their aid. After all, Osaka is a nail in the forefront, whether it is gained or lost, it is very important, and the Tokugawa shogunate army definitely does not want Osaka to be captured by our Qing Dynasty! ”

"Yes, yes, this nephew thinks so too!" When Hauge heard this, his eyes lit up, his voice raised a lot, and he said in a loud voice: "This nephew has long expected it!" ”

Wellmouth Yeshu is not a fool, his eyes glanced at Hauge without a trace, with a little disdain in his eyes, thinking in his heart, I believe you are weird!

He looked at Qian Fugui, but he looked in admiration, and hurriedly asked again: "Where did so many fleets come from, what about the people, and where did they go?" ”

Qian Fugui paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about this question, and then replied: "On the Osaka side, it is impossible, and on the Nagoya side, I am worried about the surprise attack of my Qing cavalry, and I will definitely not send so many troops over." From the analysis of these situations, these forces should be from Edo! ”

This analysis is reasonable and well-founded, which makes the wellhead nod again and again. Hauge opened his mouth, and was about to say again, "This nephew also thinks so", but Iguchi Noki took the first step to speak, and didn't give him a chance to express his position at all: "You mean, the Tokugawa thief wants to increase troops to destroy the allied forces of the four countries?" ”

On the island of Shikoku, Duoduo led his 3,000 captives, and there were Catholic troops and an army nominally attributed to Toyotomi Kunimatsu, so he said that he was an allied army.

This time, Haorge spoke first, and immediately said: "That's for sure, this nephew can see it at a glance." ”

Based on the previous analysis, this result is easy to obtain. Hauge is not a rookie without a little military experience, so he is sure of this.

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the wellhead Yeshu to speak again, but instructed Qian Fugui: "Come here, this nephew still has something to explain to you!" ”

When Qian Fugui heard this, he hurriedly agreed and walked to the side with Haoge.

I heard Hauge lower his voice, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said a little unhappily: "What do you think, don't say it first, secretly tell Ben Tainephew, forget?" ”

"Damn the minions, the minions were shocked by so many ships and forgot about them for a moment!" When Qian Fugui heard this, he hurriedly pretended to be sincerely frightened, and also responded in a low voice.

In fact, it was because Emperor Chongzhen directly chatted with him privately, and when he had the answer, he said it casually.

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen saw his announcement in the chat group, and quickly created a temporary group and set up a think tank to analyze the situation for him.

Haoge's performance because of money and wealth is naturally quite important, and it is impossible to be rich and rich because of this. Therefore, after the explanation, he asked in a low voice: "If you have any other ideas, why don't you talk to your nephew first." ”

When Qian Fugui heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "The minion's brain is not as smart as your master, and you have to think carefully about other ideas!" ”

Hauge was also used to this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you think about it first and then tell your nephew." ”

After the explanation, he went to watch the enemy situation again, and at the same time talked to Noki Iguchi about his opinion.

And Qian Fugui entered the chat group and talked about the situation in the temporary group.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard this, as the host, he first asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this situation?" My purpose, you all know it, as long as you can achieve my purpose, you can think about any way. ”

Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Liaodong, was the first to respond: "These Japanese robbers must be fighting with the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the island. It is estimated from the number of ships that this increase in troops in Shikoku is a must-win, and it must be to eliminate the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the island and change the current situation of the Tokugawa shogunate being passively beaten! If Hauge were allowed to land, he would be taken by surprise and the Tokugawa shogunate army would be passive. Moreover, Hauge's fleet was likely to wipe out the Tokugawa shogunate by transporting Honshu's forces back and forth to Shikoku. However, there is a concern about whether they will be able to withdraw from the four countries in time. ”

After seeing his remarks, Li Zhiqi, the commander of the Liao Xian Naval Division, suddenly asked: "Since there are no people in those boats, it is better to rob them directly, and let those dogs on the island eat dogs, and they can't get out." At least it can be burned, which should be no problem. ”

"With so many troops, they suddenly threw themselves into Shikoku this winter, wanting to wipe out the remnants of the Manchu Qing on this island." Sun Chengzong also spoke, "Does that mean that Edo doesn't have any troops at this time?" ”

"It's true that in the winter, it's not easy to recruit soldiers." Emperor Chongzhen had information about Edo's Jinyi Guard's secret agents, so he was able to answer his question, "The army sent this time is basically the remaining troops in Edo, and it can be regarded as an elite part of the Tokugawa shogunate's army." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a comprehension, and couldn't help asking: "What does Sun Qing mean, should he want the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to attack Edo directly, and also come by surprise to attack him?" ”

"But Your Majesty, Wechen has been learning about the situation in the Wa Kingdom." Lu Xiangsheng was naturally the commander of the Japanese army, so he has been preparing for this, and is studying everything about the Japanese state, "If the Manchu remnants want to attack Edo, it is basically impossible. The main road leading to Edo was heavily guarded by Japanese soldiers! Besides, on the Edo side, it must be certain that so many troops can be sent, and it is certain that it is impossible for the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to sneak attack Edo! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Zhiqi suddenly said, "What if you rob the ship of the Tokugawa shogunate and attack Edo from the sea?" ”

As soon as he said this, all of a sudden, the temporary group was silent, and it was obvious that they were all shocked by this sentence.

Other people's minds are still stuck in fighting wars on land. It is true that only people like Li Zhiqi who are mixed in the sea will have this idea.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "It seems to be possible!" The fact that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had ships is unlikely that the Tokugawa shogunate could have thought of it. It's winter again, and the coast is inaccessible, so it's a good time for a sneak attack. Besides, the ships of the Tokugawa shogunate army were all supporting Osaka. Speaking of which, it seems that there is a real possibility of a successful sneak attack. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen imagined it in his mind, and at the same time said: "If the Haoge army suddenly appears in the current Edo, it will definitely accelerate the war of the Japanese Kingdom. Regardless of whether Tokugawa Iemitsu can be killed or not, at least the morale of the Tokugawa shogunate army will be greatly damaged! ”

When Sun Chengzong saw these words, he commented a little worriedly: "Your Majesty, this move is extremely risky. There is a lot of distance on this sea route, and there are many difficulties in preparing materials and everything. And if it is touched by the sailors of the Tokugawa shogunate army, then Hauge's army will definitely suffer heavy losses, if not all of them will be destroyed! “

"Hehe, so what?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said indifferently: "Whether it is the Tokugawa Shogunate Army or the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whoever loses it will be beneficial to my Ming Dynasty." Of course, in the current situation, it is of course in Hauge's best position to succeed. But for me Daming, that's actually it, right? ”

The so-called military line is dangerous, in case of an accident, anyway, it will not lose a single hair of the Ming Dynasty, and if it succeeds, the Japanese State will definitely be in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to send troops to the Japanese State a lot of time in advance.

Thinking of this, the people in the group were very relaxed, and under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen, they re-read the entire plan, added the details, and then explained it to Qian Fugui.

On the ship at night, Hauge wanted to wait a little longer, so that the Tokugawa shogunate army and Duoduo would consume each other more. At this time, he saw Qian Fugui calling him a code. So, I made an excuse to go over and whispered.

Noki Iguchi looked a little suspicious, with the help of the bright moonlight, he saw Hauge seem to be very happy, what was wrong? Wasn't it just now hesitating and making a decision, what should I do next?

After a while, Hauge walked back. I don't know if it's an illusion, Noki Iguchi seems to think that Hauge is more imposing than he was walking just now, and he holds his head high? Or something else?

When Hauge came back, he asked Noki Iguchi in a low voice with excitement, "What do you think if we quietly go and take down those boats?" ”

To seize so many ships, there are several problems.

Although there didn't seem to be many people on the ship ahead, there were some people left behind after all, and these people had to be solved. In addition, there is another question, if you can successfully capture so many ships, will there be enough people to drive the boats?

Noki Iguchi was a little shocked by Hauge's idea, as a mixed sea, if he could get so many ships, he would naturally be excited. After all, if these ships can be captured, the Qing people will not be able to water, and will only be handed over to him to command.

So, after the two sides made this total, under the resolute implementation of Hauge, they quickly began to seize the ship under the cover of night.

By dawn, about half of the ships had been captured, and the others had been burned.

Hauge stood on the flagship, laughed, and did not go ashore, but immediately led all the ships home.

After reaching Kobe, he directly took out a large amount of gold and silver, rewarded his servant army and Iguchi Noki's men, almost by means of coercion and temptation, loaded with all his horses, and immediately left Kobe, and disappeared into the vast sea.

The reason why he is so motivated is because Qian Fugui has a sentence that touched him.

"If the master can suddenly take Edo, under this great achievement, the position of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty can only be the master!"
