948 Situation of the Wa Kingdom
In this way, Huang Taiji is worried. In the battle of the country, the army was assembled, and countless grains were consumed every day, if this war dragged on, he couldn't afford to drag it out!
However, the other slave chief was the complete opposite of him, and his mood could be described as overjoyed. This man is Dolgon, who is hiding in North Korea.
He didn't expect that someone from the Wa Kingdom came back and brought two large ships of grain.
Then Dorgon sat on the throne, and Dorgon sat beside him, and he was receiving the messenger sent by Ingordai from the kingdom of the Japanese.
"Tell the master, everything is going well in the Japanese country, this is a letter from General Yingordai, please take a look." A letter that was obviously a little thick was presented with both hands, and Duoduo hurriedly stepped forward, and arrived in front of the messenger in two big steps, and after snatching the letter with one hand, he subconsciously wanted to open it and look at it. But he quickly came back to his senses, turned around again, and handed it to his brother first.
Dolgon's demeanor did not change, but he still smiled, and did not shirk, and after taking the letter, he immediately opened it and looked at it.
In this very thick letter, Ying Erdai knew that the two masters would be very concerned about the situation of the Japanese state, so he gave a detailed report on the trip to the Japanese state.
Within the Wa Kingdom, the Tokugawa shogunate was currently in power, and it has always been an attitude of exterminating the remnants of the previous dynasty. As a result, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's grandson, Toyotomi Kunimatsu, fled to the Satsuma Domain, the westernmost part of the Wa Kingdom and the closest to the Korean side.
In the Wa country, the daimyo domains close to the shogunate were sealed near Edo, and the more distant they were, the farther away they became. The Satsuma Domain was located in the westernmost part of the four islands of Wakoku, and its relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate can be imagined. It is also because of this that Toyotomi Kunimatsu was able to find a place of refuge here, and it was renamed Kinoshita Enji for the Hirise Domain of Toyogo Province.
After receiving the help of the Qing Dynasty this time, Kinoshita Shinji originally wanted to change back to his original name immediately and called on the old ministry to do things together. But he was persuaded by Ingordai. It is not advisable to attract the attention of the Edo side until the strength is insufficient.
However, Toyotomi Kunimatsu has also begun a war to annex the surrounding forces, and so far, it is still going well. As the main force of the campaign, the Qing soldiers have helped Toyotomi Kunimatsu unknowingly expand his power more than three times.
However, such an action has already attracted the attention of Shimazu Tadatsune of Samosa. It is likely that it will not be long before the two sides clash. Therefore, Toyotomi Kunimatsu strongly asked the Qing Dynasty to send more elite soldiers over, and the two ships of grain brought with the messenger were his intentions.
This was the main situation on the side of the Wa Kingdom, and after Ying Erdai finished introducing it, he told his two masters how he felt after going to the Wa Kingdom.
The Tokugawa shogunate of the Wa kingdom feared that other daimyo would follow his example and rise up to rebel and overthrow his rule, so the suppression of the daimyo in various places was very strong. The soldiers who were able to fight the Ming Kingdom back then are now old, and the new generation of soldiers have almost completely lost their combat power under the deliberate suppression of the Tokugawa shogunate. According to Ying Erdai's feeling, the current situation of the Wa Kingdom is similar to that of the previous Ming Kingdom.
I don't know how the Tokugawa shogunate was on the Edo side, but I think there will be some elites. In the hands of the daimyo in various places, only a small part of the army is worthy of a battle, just like the soldiers in the Ming army. At present, most of the military strength of the Wa State is similar to that of the Ming State's Weisu Army, and there is no combat power, although the military strength of the Qing Dynasty in the past is only 500, but it is invincible in small-scale wars, and there is no opponent at all.
In addition, Ying Erdai also specially introduced, saying that the people on the side of the Japanese are generally short, and there are a little frogs at the bottom of the well, a Qing warrior, to deal with three Japanese soldiers, as long as they are not fighting in formation, they are more than enough.
What the people of the Japanese Kingdom can rely on is actually the firearms used in the attack on North Korea. There are very few cannons, most of them are shotguns. For these, the Qing Dynasty has enough experience to deal with it, whether it is with a car or something else, it can deal with it.
In addition to these, as an intelligent general, Yingordai does not only focus on military affairs. In the letter, he also introduced that the land of the Wa Kingdom was barren and the output was not very large. The life of the common people of the Japanese country was very hard, and they didn't even have pants to wear, and they were used to going out to work with only a fig leaf underneath.
At present, there are many people in the Japanese country, especially in the more remote places, who believe in foreign religions, and although they are not allowed by the Japanese government, there are signs of intensification. According to Ingordai's estimates, there is likely to be a big mess. And the more chaotic the situation in the Japanese state, the more favorable it will be for the Qing Dynasty.
However, there are also good things on this side of the Wa Kingdom, and there is a gold mountain in the Satsuma Domain. After the local government mined it, it was stopped by the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo.
At the end of the letter, Ingordai also told the two masters an additional matter. A few years ago, the Satsuma Domain sent 3,000 troops to invade and capture the Ryukyus, plundering more than 100 people such as King Shoning. Satsuma then forced King Shลnin to recognize Ryukyu as a vassal state of Satsuma, and the emperor swore eternal loyalty to the Shimazu clan. Subsequently, King Shangning and others were released back to Ryukyu, and at present, although Ryukyu was nominally a vassal of the Ming Kingdom, it was actually controlled by the Satsuma of the Wa Kingdom. It is estimated that it will not be long before it is officially annexed.
After reading it, Dorgon handed the letter to Dordor, who had long since lost his breath, and then sat down on the throne and thought about it.
For the Qing Dynasty, the side of the Wa Kingdom was really not as good as the side of the Ming Kingdom. But the Ming Kingdom is a behemoth and very difficult to fight, and the fact that the Qing Dynasty is in trouble is the best proof of this. If the Qing Dynasty could defeat the Wa State and regard the Wa State as the rear of the Qing Dynasty, it would not only be able to replenish the source of troops in the future, but also obtain enough supplies.
Thinking of this, Dolgon couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: This matter seems to be a bit big, and he is not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! As far as these two flags are concerned, if they can control the island closest to North Korea, then the materials produced on the island should be enough to consume!
He was thinking that Duoduo had read it quickly, and excitedly raised the thick stack of letters in his hand, and said to the contemplative Dolgon: "This slave has made it very clear, I think it is okay, send another thousand elites over, what kind of ghost Satsuma Domain, I still don't believe in it!" โ
Hearing this, Dorgon raised his head, looked at Dorgon and shook his head, "Don't forget, we still have the enemy of the Dongjiang Army. For now, after all, North Korea's side is our roots. I think I will send five or six hundred, and make up for one thousand elites, according to the ability of Ying Ordai, it should be possible! โ
Naturally, Dorgon listened to Dorgon, so the matter was decided. In Seoul, while carrying the two boatloads of grain, he began to draw troops and prepare to send them to the Wa Kingdom.
What the two Dolgon brothers didn't know was that Huang Taiji had already paid attention to their side, so soon the matter here was reported to Liaodong by the fast horse.
