The navy led by Zheng Zhilong went to the Korean Strait to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese navy, and had been preparing for this since a long time ago. Therefore, the types of naval warships are very complete. There are even two sailing ships of Xiyi. After receiving the military order from Zheng Zhilong, these fast warships were like hungry wolves seeing a flock of sheep, howling and rushing towards the Japanese ships.
As for the Japanese side, they were not prepared to encounter the Ming navy at all. Most of this Japanese navy were transport ships, and their original mission was only to transport food to Seoul. I received a temporary military order to be sent to Pyongyang instead.
Moreover, a year ago, when the Japanese scouts first landed in North Korea to spy on the news, the Ming Navy even left Pi Island and retreated to Lushun and Changsheng Island. This also gave the Japanese the illusion that the Ming Navy had always been Here in Liaodong, it’s far away from North Korea! Even if the Ming Dynasty knew the situation of the Japanese in North Korea, made corresponding decisions, and then sent troops to North Korea, there would definitely be a process, and it would not be possible to come to North Korea so quickly.
It is also for this reason that under the urgent urging of Matsudaira Nobutsuna, these Japanese naval forces, which mainly transport food, transported food northward along the coastline without any scruples. Unexpectedly, they ran into Zheng Zhilong's army heading south.
Although it is said that the first naval battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country was accidental, in fact, since Emperor Chongzhen secretly began to deploy against the Japanese country as early as a year ago, such an accident was inevitable. Even if there is no chance this time, there will be other chances.
There was a sudden encounter at sea, and the strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all, so the result was naturally destined. Just like in the original history, when the Japanese and the Manchus were fighting a naval battle, they encountered a Manchu troop transport ship at sea, causing the Manchus to suffer heavy losses. This naval battle also caused the Japanese to suffer heavy losses. Not only did they lose a lot of food In the hands of Zheng Zhilong, not even a single ship could escape. At most, they escaped a little further, and ended up being overtaken by the clippers among the warships of the Ming Navy.
Of course, some of the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese navy also escaped, so it doesn’t mean that the entire army was wiped out! These Japanese soldiers who escaped saw that the situation was not good and immediately moved to the land, abandoned the boat and fled into the land before escaping.
As the sky neared dusk, the one-sided naval battle ended. Zheng Zhilong, standing on the flagship deck, looked at the captured ships of food and felt particularly comfortable. That feeling emerged again: It was under the emperor's strategizing. Come on, this luck in fighting can't be stopped no matter what. It's as if there is a bonus of good luck and the protection of Mazu.
Weren't you worried about food shortage before? No, the Japanese country sent food! Thinking that Li Dingguo's troops had also seized the grain given to the Jianlu by the Japanese, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but laugh in his heart: Haha, thank you Tokugawa Iemitsu for being the captain of the transportation team!
Afterwards, he continued to sail to Jeju Island with the food. Of course, he also sent a ship to rush back to report the news. Not only did he report this war, but he also reminded the emperor that the Japanese army was marching north, and their first target was Pyongyang.
In fact, he didn't even need to send someone to report it. The Class A eavesdropping seeds in his body had already fed the situation here into the system, and Emperor Chongzhen already knew about it.
Emperor Chongzhen was also in a good mood regarding this. The reason why the army stayed at Zhenjiang Fort was because it wanted the Japanese army to extend the front line. The other reason was that the army had insufficient food and grass.
However, the Japanese nation understood the situation and not only rushed to the north of Korea, but also sent a large amount of food. This news is really like Lu Ban in the King of Glory. With a second skill, he actually gained two heads across thousands of mountains and rivers. What an unexpected joy, an unexpected joy!
In this way, Ming Dynasty's economy was leading, no, it was food and grass. At least the navy, with its previous reserves and this seizure, should no longer have to worry about food problems. However, the 100,000 Japanese troops in North Korea are short of a large amount of food. At least they will be short of food in northern North Korea.
Haha, I like that you are short of food! This is also my best skill! Emperor Chongzhen thought with a smile in his heart, looked at the eavesdropping system, and then smiled again.
Through the eavesdropping system, Emperor Chongzhen grasped the whereabouts of Ying Erdai in real time. Knowing that he was rushing back to the north, he had already sent out elite troops to wait for his return. The result was not much of a surprise, he had already been caught by Ye Bushuang.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen ordered that Ying'erdai be captured and kept company with Hauge captured by Li Dingguo.
…………
To be honest, Ying Erdai did not expect that he would be ambushed by the Ming army while he was still in North Korea. In his opinion, the Ming army was not fighting a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty. It should be near Shengjing or Liaoyang. How could it appear in North Korea?
This was the second time he was captured by the Ming army. Both times he was captured were in North Korea, which gave him experience. As long as he was not killed on the spot by the Ming army, they might let him go again. Therefore, he I didn't feel much panic in my heart, I was relatively calm.
However, this calmness completely disappeared once he reached the Yalu River.
Looking at the continuous Ming army camps on the other side, he was dumbfounded and remained speechless.
After crossing the river and seeing the royal emblem of the Ming emperor, Lu Xiangsheng's flag, the flags of the Ming generals, etc., Ying Erdai felt like that, completely withered.
The army of the Ming Dynasty is here, and even the emperor and his important officials are here, so there is only one possibility, the Qing Dynasty is dead!
Although he didn't want to admit this fact, the reason in his heart told him that only when the Qing Dynasty had been wiped out by the Ming army, would the Ming emperor lead his army to the Yalu River!
However, emotionally he still did not want to believe it, and murmured to himself: "The Qing Dynasty is definitely not dead, the Qing Dynasty is definitely not dead, even if it cannot defeat the Ming army, it can still escape! The Qing Dynasty..."
Hearing him muttering, one of the escorts, Ye Bushou, happened to understand the Jurchen dialect and was in a good mood, so he took up the topic and said to him: "How did you build captives escape? I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, led the expedition in person, and you Liaoyang City Construction The prisoners heard the news and fled but were blocked in the city. The prisoners were built in Shenyang City. When they saw the imperial commander coming in person, they burned themselves to death. Why should they escape?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Upon hearing this, Ying Erdai immediately denied it hysterically. He was willing to admit that the Qing army in Liaoyang and Shenyang cities was the only remaining main force of the Qing Dynasty. There were at least 60,000 people. It was impossible for them to be instantly defeated when they heard the news of the Ming army's attack!
If this is really the case, it will be like when the Qing Dynasty was at its peak in Liaodong, the Ming army fled. No matter how low the morale of the Qing army was, they would never end up like that! This Ming Gou must have said this on purpose to hurt himself!
I stopped listening that night, and when I saw his hysterical look again, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. After asking him about his situation, other Ye Busuo also started laughing. It makes me really happy to see the Jianlu leader acting so hysterically.
And when Ying Erdai saw the mocking expressions of these Ming soldiers, he blushed and wanted to rush over and smash the hateful smiling faces of the Ming soldiers. However, with his hands tied, it was impossible to move. He was suppressed by Ming Jun Ye Bu Sheng, and he slapped him twice to wake him up.
One of them stayed up all night, approached him, and asked him in Ming Mandarin with a mocking expression: "My Ming army of 30,000 cavalry suddenly arrived, how can you Jianlu escape? Liaoyang and Shenyang all set fire to the city. , all of them are crazy about eating human flesh, what can’t they do?”
After hearing this, Ying Erdai suddenly withered again. He no longer understood that the army would not be harvested at night. He just muttered to himself and kept repeating one word: food, food...
At this time, he still refused to believe that the Qing Dynasty was dead, and kept looking for reasons. Didn't the Japanese country give food? There should be food. These bright dogs must be liars. Yes, they must be liars. …
To him, the destruction of the glorious Qing Dynasty and the destruction of all his people would be simply more terrifying than the collapse of the sky, and even more terrifying than him being captured by the Ming army. It was unacceptable no matter what!
However, after crossing the river, after Ying Erdai was taken to the place, he looked up and saw the unkempt Money Rat Tail imprisoned in the prison car. He was immediately stunned: "Prince Su?"
Hauge was painfully bored when he suddenly heard a friendly local accent. He immediately looked up and recognized who it was. His face was filled with tears. Finally, someone came to accompany him, and he shared the guilt: Come on, come on, there are still people in the prison car. There's room, come and sit with me!
However, for Ying Erdai, the sky has really fallen. Even Hauge was captured alive by the Ming army, so the Qing Dynasty was probably really dead.
After entering the prison car, after asking, Hauge showed up with someone he could chat with. He knew everything and talked endlessly. The depression he had been holding in for the past few days came out in one fell swoop.
Not only did he talk about the sneak attack by the Dongjiang Cavalry, but he also talked about the news about Liaoyang and Shenyang that he had heard from the Ming army these days. Whether Ying Erdai liked it or not, they all spouted it out.
With Ying Erdai accompanying him, he was no longer so afraid of the fate he faced. Well, it’s nice to have companions!
However, Ying Erdai was desperate. Originally, he felt that Fan Wencheng's strategy was very good, and it might allow the Qing Dynasty to step aside and watch the two tigers of the Ming Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom compete. The Qing Dynasty would benefit from it, and maybe it could regain its previous glory.
As a result, he was full of hope, but he was greeted by such huge bad news. So much so that he couldn't listen to what Hauge kept talking about later, and he didn't even care that Hauge ate his share of the prison food that was brought to him.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Ying Erdai, who seemed to have lost his soul, came back to his senses. It was so sad that Haug kept comforting him, telling him that it was okay, and he would look away after a while, no matter what. In this way, the Qing Dynasty is gone!
The Ming soldiers who were in custody naturally knew what they were doing. When Ying Erdai came back to his senses, they immediately went to report to Emperor Chongzhen as instructed.
