1256 Don't have to worry anymore
The sun shines on the sea, with blue waves rippling, and fish are occasionally rushing out of the sea. On the coastline not far away, there are groups of sea birds foraging. Obviously, there should be few people here, so this scene is so good.
However, this natural and harmonious scene was eventually broken by a ship.
As long as you have a little bit of a glance, you can see that the ship has been on the sea for a long time. Or because of seeing the coastline, someone on the ship shouted, and suddenly, many people ran out of the cabin.
When they saw the land, all these bearded people were excited, either knelt down and muttered to themselves, or shouted.
"Here, we're finally here!"
"It's a life of death, I didn't expect our lives to be really big!"
“…”
While they were excited, they heard something coming from behind. They turned to look and shouted respectfully.
"Our boss, we have finally arrived!"
"We don't have to worry anymore, we are the boss!"
"Yes, no matter how powerful the imperial navy is, it is impossible to chase after him, haha!"
“…”
The master they mentioned was the pirate Liu Xiang.
Hundreds of ships and thousands of subordinates, there was only one ship left. But at this time, they were obviously very glad that they could escape under such circumstances. They had to admire the master. They were so cunning that they had to leave a backup plan for themselves!
However, what they admire now is not because of this, but because of the decisive decision of the boss. They feel that no matter whether they hide in the South China Sea or even the Small Western Sea, they are not safe, so they directly cross the ocean to the Spanish territory.
Originally they thought they might die on the sea, but they didn't expect that they would have a great life after all. After only hearing about this route, they actually saw the land alive.
Liu Xiang was also very excited. Looking at the coastline in the distance, his heart suddenly filled with pride and ambition. He was not dead. It seems that God still favored him!
He looked around his subordinates and immediately shouted loudly: "You are all good brothers of my Liu Xiang! We share life and death, we will share difficulties in the future, and we will share blessings! Zheng Yiguan, the dog official, will never chase him, and there will be no more traitor Liang Xiaozhen among us! From now on, I, Liu Xiang, will definitely take you to build a new land here. From now on, my brothers will follow me, Liu Xiang, to eat delicious food and drink spicy food!"
Hearing this, his men were also excited. Although there were Spaniards here, they were not afraid at all.
The Spanish could not defeat the Dutch; while the huge Dutch fleet was destroyed in front of them. This experience made them feel that the Western barbarians were actually just that.
Another point is that they feel that after escaping from Nanyang and experiencing a lifetime of death, they can reach here alive. They must have Mazu's blessing. With such luck, are they afraid that they will not be able to gain a foothold here?
Thinking of this, they all started to yell.
"Yes, I'm good at the boss, and I'm so popular and spicy!"
"Save blessings together, and be hard, and never be a traitor!"
“…”
From then on, there is no need to worry about the court's pursuit. As long as we deal with the few Spaniards, the future will be bright!
But they didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen planned, otherwise they would all despair! Of course, if they didn't know now, it doesn't mean they wouldn't know in the future. At this time, they could be more happy every day!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know that Liu Xiang did not sink to the bottom of the sea during the Battle of Manila Bay, but went out and ran to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. At this time, he was patrolling in the chat group to see what was reported to him from all over the country.
The latest military system reform starts with the millions of border troops on the Nine Borders. This military system reform can be obtained from the court in real time through chat groups, and it is impossible to complete within a short while. Emperor Chongzhen estimated that it will not be possible until at least next year.
One thing he actually didn't expect that several famous generals in the Jing camp would have proposed the idea of earning military merits. He supported this, which was originally his purpose of awarding titles.
What surprised him the most was that even the little kid Li Dingguo wanted to go to war. But speaking of this, his military experience was indeed not compatible with his age. The cultivation of him in recent years has made him far better than ordinary generals.
It's funny to think about it. He threw Zheng Chenggong away with Li Dingguo. These two bigwigs in history have now changed their own destiny. Zheng Chenggong admired Li Dingguo and now, he thinks everything Li Dingguo said is right.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be funny again. He heard from the factory guards that Zheng Zhilong was granted the title of Nanyang Bo. He was happy to see his son. He already had a title and had not had a Jinshi yet. He expected his son to take the exam for a Jinshi. Unexpectedly, his son contradicted him and said that he wanted to study like Li Dingguo, and that a man was determined to go to war and protect the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing that Zheng Zhilong was angry for a day, he also figured it out. He encouraged Zheng Chenggong to follow his path in the future and report to the navy. After all, most of the navy are his subordinates and have the widest connections. As a result, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong hid under a peach tree, clapped their high-quality oath, saying that one should be the army governor and the other should be the navy governor. The two should compete to see who can become the one and become the first.
Emperor Chongzhen thought of this and found it funny. He was a little bitch, but he was ambition. Whether he could be a governor depends on whether you can make enough contributions!
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly sent a private chat. When he looked closely, it was Qian Fugui's regular report.
Emperor Chongzhen is naturally paying attention to Japan. Today, Japan is becoming more and more chaotic.
The Tokugawa Shogunate army almost blew three feet on Kyushu Island, but could not get enough food. In the end, it did not capture all the cities on Kyushu Island. It simply took advantage of the arrival of the Siberian cold wind and retreated to the post.
Despite this, the coalition forces on Kyushu Island were not easy. The left-behind coalition forces were mainly Catholic troops. They were surrounded in the city for several months, and there was almost no food left. Finally, they waited until the Tokugawa Shogunate army could not hold on and retreated, but found that the food outside the city had been eaten completely by the Tokugawa Shogunate army. At this time, they missed the farming season. Obviously, if they were only staying on Kyushu Island, most people would probably not survive this winter.
On the island of Benzhou, the situation is better. The main force of the Qing Dynasty remnants is indeed not comparable to that of the same number of short Japanese. After the main force is in a stalemate, both sides sent troops to attack the other side's rear. On the side of the Qing Dynasty remnants, Ajige and Haoge all led their troops to plunder the Japanese and made their old jobs in Liaodong before.
In addition, the Catholic army also sent people deep into the enemy's back to spread rumors and encourage the Japanese in our province to rebel. At the same time, they also followed the Ajige and Haoge army as Japanese traitors. After the remnants of the Qing Dynasty looted, they went to pick up another vacancy.
At this time, it can be said that the southern part of Honshu, which is the area south of Osaka Castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, has basically become a ruin due to the war between the two sides. However, major cities such as Osaka are still in the hands of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
"Your Majesty, Dorgon has led his troops to Hiroshima." Qian Fugui reported in a private chat, "After Haoge learns this news, he will withdraw his troops back to Hiroshima."
When the Qing Dynasty remnants first attacked Honshu Island, they caught the Tokugawa shogunate army off guard and seized Hiroshima as the base camp of Honshu Island. Before that, the main force rushed directly to Ishimi Yinshan, and Hiroshima became the food and supplies piled up for the Qing Dynasty remnants, including the materials plundered by Haoge and Ajige, and all of them were piled up here.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately guessed that so long had passed, Dorgon must have given up on the Spanish, so the battle for Shimiji Yinshan was not so important. On Shimiji Yinshan, the Tokugawa Shogunate hoarded heavy troops and made a state of strict defense. As for siege, it was the weakness of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon obviously wanted to maintain his strength and did not want to waste it.
To put it bluntly, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty were actually only ten thousand people in Japan. I left a little on Kyushu Island, and Duoduo still had 3,000 troops trapped on Shikoku Island. Now, on Honshu Island, the front line on the island will be extended, and the weakness of the weak military strength of the Qing Dynasty will be reflected. If the Catholic army had not been assisted in the aid of the evil, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty would have been unable to control so many places.
But relatively speaking, although the Qing Dynasty had a larger population than it is now, they had occupied the entire Liaodong before, and this place was much larger than the current territory of Japan. Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that Dorgon should be able to solve this problem.
But now he secretly supported Haoge and restrained Dorgon's power. After thinking about it, he explained to Qian Fugui: "You remind Haoge about the limited military force, you can suggest Haoge to propose it and organize the Japanese into the Eight Banners of the Japanese to fight for them."
If we do not do this, after the front line is extended, the comprehensive strength of the Tokugawa shogunate will still be reflected, and the balance of the war is likely to tilt towards the Tokugawa shogunate. If possible, the war situation that Emperor Chongzhen most hopes to see is that the strength of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate army is around June 4th, and it is best to destroy the Tokugawa shogunate, and the strength of the Remnants of the Qing Dynasty is also consumed similarly. Then, through Qian Fugui, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, will urge Haoge to seize power, and let the remnants of the Qing Dynasty fight another intra-fight.
If such a situation occurs, it will be the easiest for the Ming Dynasty to take over Japan.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen did not respond to Qian Fugui's private chat, but began to summon relevant ministers to see how to help the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. To be precise, he helped Haoge.
At the same time, in a dilapidated mountain temple less than fifty miles away from Kobe, there were figures everywhere. Suddenly, a horse flew from a distance and quickly entered the mountain temple. Judging from their figures, it was obviously a Japanese.
After the knight entered the mountain temple, he heard an angry "baga" sound from the temple, and the sound of something as if it was knocked to the ground. A faint sound came out. The masked people guarding outside turned their heads and looked at it, but no one spoke.
There were also masked people in the mountain temple, but the leader, about forty or fifty years old, was not masked. He was angry and was talking in a murmur.
This person is Miyamoto Musashi, who was highly expected by Tokugawa Iemiya and tried to turn the world on him! A famous military tactician in Japanese history is also a famous swordsman in later generations! Regarding his story, Japan in later generations has produced many movies and TV series, and even a certain game company has developed him to cut the archer wizard!
At this time, Miyamoto Musashi had not completed the tasks assigned by Tokugawa Iegu, and was very upset. Even though he had always emphasized that he could not be influenced by emotions, he was still very angry at this time.
Because, after receiving the strict order of Tokugawa Iehiro, he led his disciples to take action. His goal was naturally set on the Qing emperor Dorgon at the beginning. However, Dorgon had a close protection around him, so he had no chance at all.
So, he and his disciples wanted to kill the second important person in the Qing Dynasty, namely the princely nephew Haoge. But what he did not expect was that Haoge had to be careful of the Dorgon brothers being unfavorable to him, so he had a very strict protection and had no chance to attack.
After hearing the news, Miyamoto Musashi had been so long since the mission assigned by Tokugawa Ie-gun, even he was impatient. In desperation, he set his target on Ajig, who also led the army to invade the rear of Tokugawa shogunate. However, unfortunately, he still did not find a chance. After hearing this news, he finally lost his temper.
However, another rider soon rushed over and reported to him a message.
This news calmed down the fury Musashi Miyamoto. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Meikawa Maruko!"
A crisp and nice voice immediately agreed, and a slim masked man immediately knelt in front of Miyamoto Musashi.
"Although Umekawa Naoyi committed suicide, whether your family will let it go depends on your performance. Do you understand?" Miyamoto Musashi asked expressionlessly.
This Meichuan Marukawa Maruko immediately said "hi" firmly and vigorously without any hesitation.
Seeing that he did not hesitate at all, Miyamoto Musashi was quite satisfied. So, after some explanation, the people in the dilapidated mountain temple quickly left and disappeared in the distance.
There is a Japanese town about twenty miles away, although it is a bit remote, but it was finally found by Japanese traitors and Jianlu. The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and Jianlu swept the entire town, just like they had done in Liaodong, in the capital, and other parts of Japan, and began to burn, kill and rob.
However, in the best house in the town, Jianlu obviously encountered strong resistance. Even though Jianlu was strong, several Japanese guards in one of the yards were killed. When the other Jianlu saw him, they became even more excited and immediately surrounded the place and strengthened the offensive, because according to their experience, there should be big fish here.
