Soon, Emperor Chongzhen received a report from the Nanyang Navy about the news he received from the Western captives.

The first is to find out where these Western barbarians come from and what purpose is it?

The second is what the route is coming and what are the situations along the way?

For this second one, he happened to have a rough idea of ​​what he wanted to figure out before. It was the situation on the tip of the Indian Peninsula. Emperor Chongzhen learned that the part on the tip of the pointed corner was not the territory of the Mughal Empire, but Goa, which was colonized by the Portuguese, and the Lion Kingdom, which was later Sri Lanka, with Portuguese people on it, but the local indigenous people were not conquered and were still fighting wars.

In the original history, the two sides would have been stalemate, and the Portuguese were eventually killed by the Dutch, and then the Dutch were killed by the British, and the Lion Kingdom eventually became a British colony.

Emperor Chongzhen had a preliminary understanding of the situation, but was a little confused. Logically speaking, the Portuguese forces in the South China Sea were expelled, so there was always some reaction, right? For example, sending troops to see it? How many times have passed, and no one has been sent at all.

Looking at the world map, looking at the Lion Kingdom and the places in Goa, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized something again.

In the past, when the coast of Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese were oppressed by the Dutch, but they were unable to resist. Later, the Dutch were the ones who were most joking along the coast of Ming Dynasty, rather than the Portuguese who came first.

In addition, in the Strait of Malacca, according to what I learned before, Temasek was also occupied by the Portuguese, but they had been fighting with local indigenous people and could not conquer them. The Dutch ran over and began to build a city in Batavia. But even so, the situation in Nanyang was still like this, and there were no reinforcements.

Now that the Lion Kingdom is added, Emperor Chongzhen probably came to a conclusion, that is, Portugal is really no longer able to send large amounts of troops to the Far East. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to allow the Dutch to be arrogant. He would not have fought with the natives and sent more reinforcements to conquer Temasek and the Lion Kingdom.

Judging from the current situation, the Portuguese have no choice but to do that. They just want to manage the country and the Lion Kingdom. Unless one day, the Portuguese can conquer the Lion Kingdom and have the spare energy to completely control this place, then they can continue to expand eastward, right?

After thinking about this, Emperor Chongzhen stopped thinking about it for the time being. Anyway, the Jinyiwei had sent him to wait until further detailed news came.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but look at the Japanese part of the world map again. It was winter soon. Generally speaking, at this time, he hid in the house to make people spend the winter. However, in this winter, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty did not calm down, but continued to launch an offensive.

Thinking about it, Liaodong is much colder than the Japanese state. As for the current coldness in the Japanese state, it is really nothing to the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. I don’t know if Tokugawa Ikawa sent people to assassinate Ajige, which attracted crazy revenge from the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Is it endless to regret it?

Let's continue making trouble. Tokugawa Iemitsu's family has not yet been defeated. It would be better that there will be a decisive battle next year and you can reach out to pick peaches. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and then quit the chat group.

At this time, as he thought, Tokugawa Ie-Kiang was furious in the general's mansion. There was no way, and he received bad news every day, saying that Jianlu had slaughtered, how many people had been killed, and how many things he had stolen. He had heard Miyamoto Musashi return the joy of killing a prince, and that he had long disappeared. He even suspected that Miyamoto Musashi had not killed the key person, but that he had killed the wrong slave chief, which attracted such crazy revenge. You should know that when the winter of last year, those Jianlu were recuperating obediently, which would be so abnormal like this year!

For this reason, Miyamoto Musashi was called by him again. After scolding him, he ordered him to assassinate Dorgon or Haoge. The most important thing about this madness in the beginning of winter was these two people. Think about it, one was the emperor of Jianlu and the other was the prince's nephew of Jianlu. If you don't have the ability, you will definitely not sit in this position.

After it was time to vent, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not lose his mind and stared at the map of enemy and us and thought about it again.

Judging from the current battle situation news, the south of this province is probably going to fall. The main force sent to follow the Jianlu runs unrealistic. Most of the main force of the Jianlu are cavalry, and the speed of coming and going is too fast. The only way to do this is to shrink the troops, rely on the terrain to defend, and stabilize the position.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Iemitsu decided to shrink its main force to Nagoya, Shizuoka and other places for defense. The chaos in the south must not spread to Edo, this is the bottom line.

So he immediately convened a meeting according to this idea, and after discussion, he sent an order to make arrangements.

Tokugawa Iemitsu’s idea is actually very simple. There is a Hida Mountain Range in the middle of Honshu. It extends from north to south along the borders of Toyama, Niigata, Nagano and Gifu Prefectures, and forms the Chuoshannuo of Wako with the Kiso and Akashi Mountains. Mount Fuji, which is very famous in later generations, is part of this mountain range.

Basically, in winter, this mountain range is covered with snow and cannot pass by. As long as the heavy army guards a few important transportation roads, it can guard the north and south and block Jianlu to the south.

After the new deployment of Tokugawa Iemitsu means that Osaka will be under great pressure.

Kobe, which is close to Osaka, has been captured by the Jianlu. After hearing this, Osaka has prepared some preparations and has been hoarding materials at the sprint, but it is still limited.

After the Jianlu captured Kobe, he immediately rushed eastward. Except for Osaka, other villages and towns with weak defense capabilities basically slaughtered. At this time, it can be said that Osaka is already an isolated city. Before the change, you can still expect the main force to come to rescue, but now the main force retreats to Nagoya, Osaka is in danger.

Of course, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not give up on Osaka. If this nail could be kept alive, it would effectively restrain the enemy and attack Nagoya and other places without worries. He decided to replenish supplies from the sea so that Osaka could last as long as it could.

Thinking of this, his eyes were fixed on the place not far from Osaka, with a ruthless look in his eyes and he punched him up.

Not long after, the secret spy of the Edo Yiwei in Edo sent a message to the Edo commander, and then Liu Xingzuo reported to Emperor Chongzhen that the Tokugawa shogunate recruited troops in the Edo area and was preparing to send troops to wipe out the remnants of the Qing Dynasty trapped on Shikoku Island.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care when he heard this. If the three thousand remnants of the Qing Dynasty, including Duoduo, were destroyed, Dorgon would become a lonely man. For him, it would be better to be controlled by Dorgon than to be controlled by Haoge.

However, he already knew from Qian Fugui that Dorgon seemed to have an idea and wanted to rescue Duoduo.

It's okay, let's see their dog bite!

Emperor Chongzhen thought about these things with the mentality of the melon-eating crowd. Suddenly, the system prompted a private chat. He clicked on it and saw that it was a private chat sent by Wu Daji, reporting that the former North Korea rebelled against the king and fled to Japan with Dorgon, Guanghaijun was no longer able to do it, and he was afraid he would die in the next two days.

After seeing this private chat, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that there was such a person. Whether he died or not, it was actually insignificant. Even the remnants of the Qing Dynasty did not think about using him, and left it in Jiuzhou and ignored it.

Wu Daji posted several private chats in a row, all about Guang Haijun's situation.

After a series of wars on Jiuzhou Island, there was a shortage of supplies. Guanghaijun had only a little coarse grain before. However, since last month, there was no coarse grain, and rice bran mixed with coarse grains, and the amount was not much. Speaking of which, Guanghaijun is also in his sixties, and after such torture, it was almost the same. What's more important is that he seems to have been having nightmares recently. Dreaming of his ancestors and ancestors, it can be inferred from this point that he is probably not far from dying.

In response, Emperor Chongzhen just replied "I understand" and did not say much.

For Kwang Haijun, his original plan was that if he could be captured, he would escort him back to North Korea and let the Ming people in the North Korean province judge him, which was a great gift to the Korean people. But it was obvious that this was impossible.

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't care much about Guanghaijun, it was still a big deal for Wu Daji. After reporting to Emperor Chongzhen, he sat alone for a long time, and then got up to Guanghaijun's residence, a house where ordinary Japanese people used to live.

The house was very dilapidated, but it could block the wind. The two soldiers standing at the door were also from the Koreans. They were called guards, but in fact they were surveillance. When Wu Daji came over, he heard the two of them hiding in the next room and chatting.

"Why is this dead old man still not dead!"

"That is, we will die early and be reborn early, so that we will not be able to stand here and suffer from the cold!"

"But it seems that there are benefits. At least we can intercept half of his rations. If he dies, we will probably eat less. If you say this continues, will we starve to death!"

"Who knows, there are many people starving to death every day in the city now!"

“…”

When Wu Daji heard the conversation, his face showed anger. No matter how bad Guanghai Jun was, he was the master of the two of you, and he dared to intercept his food? But when he heard it, the anger on his face disappeared, he sighed softly, and "coughed" hard.

The discussion in the room disappeared immediately. When a guard came out and saw it, he immediately said respectfully: "The villain has seen the adult!"

In addition, the guard also followed in and said hello to Wu Daji.

In their eyes, Wu Daji was a popular figure in the eyes of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was much more powerful than the former master who was locked in the house, so he naturally had to flatter him.

Wu Daji did not say much, waved his hand and asked them to guard the door. He was not allowed to come in without a summons.

After the two of them left the door, Wu Daji pushed open the door of the master bedroom and walked in without reporting first.

After entering the house, it was a little warmer, and this was the only difference between inside and outside the house.

It was already noon, and the light was still good. There was no one in the room, only the quilt on the bed was bulging, and it was obvious that he was hiding in the quilt.

Wu Daji walked slowly over and stood in front of the bed. Sure enough, he saw Guang Haijun hiding in the quilt.

His hair was all gray and his beard was shabby. Obviously no one took care of him. Although he closed his eyes, from his facial expression, he seemed a little painful, as if he was experiencing something very bad.

Wu Daji didn't say anything, just looked at Guang Haijun silently. However, he should be thinking about something in his heart, and his face suddenly became mercy.

The room was very quiet, but suddenly, a look of fear appeared on Guanghaijun's face, as if he was shouting with all his might, but he couldn't speak clearly and was very vague. Wu Daji couldn't hear clearly, but he could guess it, as if Guanghaijun was afraid of going to hell.

Sweat on his forehead came out, and suddenly, Guang Haijun opened his eyes and gasped heavily. However, when he saw someone standing in front of him, he was so scared that he shrank into the bed, shouting, "I am also forced to do so, don't catch me..."

It seemed to be begging for mercy, but when he saw clearly that the person standing was not the messenger of the underworld, but his minister Wu Daji, he was stunned and did not speak anymore. But what happened just now seemed to have exhausted his strength, and he was lying there, looking at the roof, and ignored Wu Daji.

Obviously, he also hated Wu Daji in his heart. In such a dilemma, Wu Daji was a popular person in Dorgon's eyes. He controlled the people's livelihood but did not give him any help. In any case, he would not have a good impression of him. If he hadn't been afraid of Wu Daji's revenge, he would have even wanted to curse.

After such a movement in the room, it became quiet again. Only when I felt a "whirring" cold wind outside the room. Although it did not blow into the room, the people in the room felt a little cold, which made Guanghai Jun shrink his body involuntarily and try to hide in the quilt, as if it could be warmer.

After a while, Wu Daji spoke coldly: "Did Your Highness regret betraying the legacy of the previous kings of all generations and finally end up like this?"

Hearing this, Guang Haijun obviously didn't expect that, his eyes turned and stared at him.

"If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's troops, North Korea would have been the Japanese pirates. Why did you experience it personally, but you didn't have any gratitude, but instead alienated the Ming Dynasty and even surrendered to Jianlu? Isn't your highness even a little basic etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame in your heart?"

Hearing this, Guanghaijun was obviously stunned, but then he seemed to be full of strength again and burst out with anger on his face: "Shut up, what's wrong with Gu? Everything Gu did is for North Korea! The Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Qing Dynasty, so Gu naturally had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, North Korea would be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, do you know?"

"But the Qing Dynasty that Your Highness mentioned has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. The remnants fled to Japan and were in panic all day long, afraid that the Ming Dynasty would come to call him at any time!" Wu Daji's face suddenly became angry and shouted in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you regret it?"
Chapter completed!
