The official retreat of the Japanese army has begun.
Hideyoshi started the war single-handedly and left a mess for Tokugawa. The better he did, the more favor he gained.
The major leaders of the Kyushu Corps have received formal retreat orders. This time the Ming army sent nearly 100,000 troops. They were able to barely block it. What about the 200,000 troops next time? Everyone agreed to leave it alone and silently approached Busan, which was not far from Sacheon.
As the second batch of returnees, their conditions were not as good as those of the first batch. To ensure that the plan could proceed smoothly, the Todo family's navy took over the important task.
Devour
Takatora Todo, a famous slave with eight surnames in Japan's Warring States Period, served eight masters in total, and his record is far better than that of Marquis Wen in the novel.
After Hideyoshi's death, he took the initiative to approach Tokugawa Ieyasu and secretly betrayed his sincerity. This was already stated in his letter.
However, the Maeda Toshiie, who was dedicated to supporting the Zuo Toyotomi family and was extremely powerful, was still alive, so Takatora did not dare to show it too obviously.
Rich experience in naval warfare.
Traveling between the two houses.
Takatora Toudo is indeed a good candidate.
When the Japanese army advanced by land and water and surrounded Nanyuan from left to right, Lu Li briefly fought with him. Now he is active again and is responsible for transporting troops back home.
After accepting the important task, Todo began to mobilize the fleet and notified the various ministries in Kyushu to gather the samurai under his command at court as soon as possible so that they could be transported away at once. If the speed was fast, he might be able to catch up with the elites of the Western Kingdom and go home with them.
After finally being able to leave the Shura battlefield, the Kyushu Corps, which had suffered heavy losses, immediately said that everyone was ready and just came to Xishengpu directly.
During this period, Guo Guoan, who held a high position in the Shimadzu family and saw that the war was about to come to an end, breathed a sigh of relief. His enthusiasm for the country was no longer useful, and he had to consider his family, his foreign wife and his descendants. Considered.
Due to confidentiality and various factors, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty official to provide him with any reward, whether it was money or false fame. At most, when compiling history, it would cost two points of ink and add a word of praise.
at the same time.
Seeing that Honda Tadakatsu, who was leading the only army in the west, had not replied to his letter after sending troops to light the beacon fire some time ago, Tokugawa had a premonition that something was not good.
It is more than his life-saving grace. It is a flag of the Eastern Kingdom and must not be lost!
After some inquiring, a very cruel thing appeared in front of the table. Now the two armies of the Ming Army have reached a tacit agreement with him and will not interfere with the retreat plan. The only thing that has not been settled is the Allied Navy, which originally had no fighting spirit. Liu Wei.
All the Kanto ministries must be mobilized to drag Honda out of Shuntian!
In this regard, the generals all said yes.
The Dongguo Navy, which originally transported 100,000 troops from across the sea, dispatched and boarded the ship to relieve Honda Tadakatsu.
Dong Yiyuan had already seen the Japanese army's movements clearly, and immediately sent an envoy to ask, when will the big turtle shell of Sichuan be given up?
Peace talks are a taboo for the imperial court.
If we don't reap some benefits as soon as possible, the Supervisory Army will have no excuse.
Tokugawa was really upset and nervous, but he didn't want to ruin the overall peace talks, so he immediately gave two sweet dates to stabilize Dong Yiyuan's middle route army.
The heads of two thousand Korean slaves.
As we all know, dead people cannot speak, and this is not the first time that the Ming army has done this kind of thing. With the cooperation of high-level officials, it is difficult to turn a fake head into a real one?
Immediately... Dong Yiyuan followed Ma Gui and achieved a great victory in the middle. The operation was exactly the same. A battle report was sent to Xing Junmen in Seoul, and another was sent directly to the capital for the Holy Emperor to see.
The second sweet date is a promise.
Some Japanese troops were scattered on cliffs and mountains, such as Nanhai Island, Geumsan, Eoshan and other places. The total number of troops was about two thousand. As long as the Ming army on the front line refused to break the promise, Tokugawa promised to provide a detailed distribution map and give the Ming army a beautiful view. The ending.
There was no way, these people were too scattered. For the large army that was racing against time to leave, they had to give up and simply be a favor.
Moreover, there is also a deep meaning in it.
Although Tokugawa did not directly participate in the wars in the early years, he did have ideas on some major events. He was also very concerned about the situation and knew the nature of the top brass of the Ming army.
The East Route Army and the Middle Route Army were all dragged into the water. Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army,
He is not like the kind of tough-minded hero who is determined to fight to the death. He must have committed something and lacked credit, so he asked Ma Gui and Dong Yiyuan to find a way to communicate secretly.
Isn’t that the benefit? Give!
Among them, the distribution map of the remnant army is a great gift to the navy, because only with a large fleet can we successfully get the above credit.
the other side.
Taking the lead many times, Lu Li finally led his troops to the tower of Shuntian Japanese Castle, leaving a long stretch of blood-stained beach behind him.
"The nights are long and the dreams are many. You must see Honda Tadakatsu's head within three days."
He wiped the blood from his face and leaned against the wall, panting.
Next to him, Chen Li, whose lips turned white, licked his lips and said proudly: "Two days."
In the city.
Hearing that the landing force organized by the overseas navy had captured a city gate, Honda Tadakatsu just nodded, indicating that he already knew.
They can't rush out, but they can continue to hold on. After all, it's not all bad for the Ming army to enter the city's periphery. At least there will be no intermittent bursts of artillery rain, unless they want to implicate their own people.
And Honda had a premonition that just like he saved Ieyasu in the past, the other party would also come to save him at the last moment.
Therefore, Dongguo Wushuang also has pride in his heart and firmly believes that he can persevere until that moment.
Suddenly, Haicheng on the edge of the peninsula became of great significance.
Yang Hao, who was far away in Seoul, figured out the general situation, and all three admirals adopted a posture of appeasement.
Dong Yiyuan, who should have been brave enough to fight without feeling any pity from his subordinates, became extremely docile and stopped organizing a second wave of attacks.
Not to mention Magui in the east, he was exactly who he was before, and he actually brokered a peace negotiation and let go of the main force of the Japanese army.
Liu Qi seemed to be unstoppable. When it came to resisting the Japanese, he kept saying harsh words one after another. In fact, he was even more cowardly inside. This time he completely offended the navy to death and was stabbed to the court. He had no choice but to fight for his life. Ben, grab the credit to protect yourself.
If the Japanese army gives in to their wishes and takes the credit, will the old boy continue to fight hard?
Yang Hao is too smart. He would be stupid if he was in the middle of the situation. But it would be different if he could change the angle and place and take charge of the overall situation. He could directly see through the thoughts of the three admirals.
Among the four armies advancing side by side, the only ones who sincerely wanted to fight against the Japanese at the last moment were the naval forces commanded by Lu Li, Chen Li, and Yi Sunchen...
A single tree cannot support itself.
Moreover, no matter how the Japanese troops withdraw, they will still bring full pressure to the Ming Dynasty.
Leaving aside the completely besieged Honda Tadakatsu Division, the Kwantung Allied Forces still had more than 80,000 troops. Taking into account the Japanese naval forces that had mobilized the whole nation to prepare for the retreat, a head-on confrontation was really not worthwhile and the chances of winning were not great.
On the contrary, it will arouse the momentum of the Japanese army to burn everything.
Negotiation, yes.
But it's not allowed to be a secret agreement like the Admiral's, and it can't be brought to the table.
We must promote the majesty of the Celestial Empire!
As for the specific details, how much initiative can be taken depends on the battle of Shuntian.
