"Why did the Ming cavalry rush ahead of us? This is impossible!"
"Why is it impossible? The head of Omufu is there, how can it be false?"
"It's over, it's over, we can't go back to Busan, where else can we go?"
"The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty attacked from the front and back, how can we fight?"
"Could it be that the Mingguo Cavalry is blessed by Amaterasu, and that's why they are so elusive?"
"Maybe it's true, we didn't even see the Ming army in front of them, and they were defeated like this. We can't fight at all!"
"..."
The morale of the Japanese army was not high to begin with, but as soon as they were hit by the news that the entire Japanese army in Busan had been annihilated, they had all kinds of thoughts, and their morale immediately collapsed.
Soon, I saw some Japanese people throwing away the flags in their hands, even throwing away the few small sun flags they carried on their backs to the north, and fled into the mountains and forests.
When other Japanese saw this, they immediately imitated him and began to flee. They no longer wanted to stay in the large army and be wiped out by the elusive Ming cavalry.
When some of the Japanese leaders saw this, they roared "Baga, Baga" and tried to stop the situation. However, no one listened at all. Instead, the collapse became even greater, and soon spread to the entire army.
At this time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was not excited at all. He was neither furious nor panicked. He just glanced at everything blankly. After a while, a sad smile suddenly appeared on his face, and the laughter went from low to high: "Hahaha..."
Hauge on the side saw it and felt contempt in his heart. He was so broken by the Ming army without a fight? Look at me, the Qing Dynasty has died, but I am still alive and well!
He couldn't stay here any longer. He had no intention of committing suicide with Matsudaira Nobutsuna. He immediately looked around, winked at his clansmen, and then quietly escaped among the large group of fleeing Japanese.
Kameda under the tree, after seeing the head of Inoue Shigemasa and hearing the news that the Busan Japanese army was completely annihilated, he had already escaped when the Japanese began to collapse. As for you, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, love Why, he doesn't care anymore.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna actually saw all this, but he really didn't care anymore and could just run away if he wanted.
I just can’t imagine why I, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who is known as the “Wisdom Izu”, was so frustrated after leading the army to Korea. Even though I was busy working hard, I didn’t even see the Ming army, but what I led However, the Japanese army was defeated again and again. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were just gone!
"It's really Amaterasu who doesn't bless me!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna murmured in his heart, "I am already the best warrior in the Japanese country, but I still ended up like this! Or maybe the gods of the Ming Kingdom are more powerful than Amaterasu. Too much, Amaterasu is so weak-minded that such disastrous defeats happen one after another!"
With a "swish" sound, he pulled out a short sword inserted in his waist. This sword is called a wakizashi. Compared with the katana, which is also a tachi, it is more convenient to commit seppuku. In fact, wakizashi is not used to commit seppuku, but has a special short sword. However, Inoue Shigemasa only had a samurai sword in his hand at the time, and he did not think about whether to use it smoothly or not in a hurry. Matsudaira Nobutsuna only had a wakizashi and did not prepare a dagger specifically for committing seppuku, so they both ended up doing it at the same time.
Seeing him like this, the personal guards beside him, as well as Inoue Shigemasa's personal guard Ida, knew what he was going to do.
For these Japanese warriors, committing seppuku was an honorable death. Under such circumstances, it is better to commit seppuku than to be executed by the General after returning home. Therefore, no one stopped him. When the people around him saw that he was seeking death, they fled with the large army. What if it's too late to escape and you can't escape?
Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't care about this at all. He focused all his attention on his wakizashi. He wiped it carefully until it was very shiny. Then he knelt down on his knees and bowed sincerely in the direction of Edo, Japan. Without hesitation, he showed his belly and cut it with one knife.
The sweat on his forehead immediately caused pain, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna did not regret it like Inoue Shigemasa. Instead, he cut a cross on his own stomach with another knife. If he had followed the most authentic way of death, he would have had to take out his intestines. However, at this time, the pain was already so painful that he could no longer hold the knife, so he had to use the greatest perseverance to wink at his bodyguards and say that he could cut it. He was beheaded.
As a result, when he looked up, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who was in severe pain, was dumbfounded.
The personal guards and others who were originally surrounding him all ran away, and not a single person helped to chop off his head!
You know, being able to do this kind of work is an honor for the Japanese warriors. Unexpectedly, these people would not even accept this honor in order to survive? Just leave yourself alone?
At this moment, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was so angry that he wanted to jump up. However, the severe pain from his abdomen finally made him fall to the ground. He wanted to give himself a fatal blow, but the pain was so painful that he could not realize this idea. .
In the end, Matsudaira Nobutsuna died of excessive bleeding in such pain. He was called an unattended corpse on the roadside, died on the land of the invaded country and was used as fertilizer.
Compared with Matsudaira Nobutsuna's team that fled back to Busan, the Japanese army that was left in the mountains collapsed earlier.
After they discovered that Matsudaira Nobutsuna ran away with his elite and took away all the food, before Lu Da could react, the Japanese army collapsed. In the end, some Japanese soldiers felt that the result of fleeing was starving to death, so they took the initiative to kneel down and surrender to the Ming army, thinking that they would have something to eat, and then let Lu Da know that he did not need to waste these Japanese soldiers. They themselves are already broken.
The collapse of tens of thousands of Japanese troops really put Lu Da in a bit of trouble, and he had to clean up the fleeing Japanese in this area first. However, the Ming army had limited food, so he handed over the captured Japanese to the custody of Korean people.
As he expected, half of the Japanese died after being imprisoned for just one night. He did not reprimand the Korean people for this. The Japanese who were still alive in the end were not only the strongest, but their number was also within an acceptable range. There are free coolies that can be used vigorously, and of course Lu Da will use them too.
As for Li Dingguo's troops on the Busan side, they learned about the Japanese army's collapse a little later than Lu Da's side. This kind of disintegrated Japanese is really troublesome. If he had a choice, Li Dingguo would rather fight between the two sides. It would be easier to eliminate them on the spot.
With no other choice, he had to discuss the matter with Zheng Zhilong. With so many Japanese fleeing into the mountains and forests, they must be eradicated, otherwise there may be future troubles.
While they were discussing, a fleet of ships slowly docked at the pier of Busan Port. It was naturally the Ming Dynasty's own fleet that was able to come over safely. It was Lin Qingye from Jeju Island who arrived with his men and food.
Lin Qingye couldn't help but feel emotional after setting foot on the land of North Korea again.
When he was still on Jeju Island, he had thought about finally setting foot on land, but he thought that with the nearly 200,000 Japanese in North Korea, it would take several years to do so. But I didn't expect that even before the end of the year, I received the good news that the imperial army had wiped out so many Japanese troops. Involuntarily, as a former North Korean official, he made such a comparison in his mind, forget it, let's not compare it.
Lin Qingye had a new understanding of the strength of the Ming army. He also looked forward to being a member of the Ming Dynasty officials in the future. After rushing to the Chinese army to report, he realized that the Ming army only had more than 10,000 troops, and it defeated so many Japanese troops, which made him even more emotional.
His arrival made Zheng Zhilong very happy. Not only did Lin Qingye bring food, but also because there were people available.
Zheng Zhilong's navy troops still had to guard against the Japanese side. They did not have a final decisive battle. He was worried and had been on guard against the Japanese counterattack. Therefore, he had no choice but to allocate manpower from the navy to assist Li Dingguo in searching for Japanese invaders. But as soon as Lin Qingye came, he solved the problem of manpower shortage.
What's more, the Koreans are more familiar with this land and are more helpful in searching and suppressing Japanese people.
So, it was decided that Lin Qingye would go back to gather people from Jeju Island and come back to assist Li Dingguo's troops in searching for and suppressing Japanese people.
There was so much movement in Busan. Even though there was no fire reaching the sky, Tsushima could still feel it to some extent. In this regard, the leader of the Tsuima domain, Soyoshige, couldn't help but feel worried.
The Ming army had sent people to threaten him before, asking him to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and provide Ming Dynasty with food, grass and baggage.
To be honest, he didn't dare. Because Tsushima Island is too close to the Japanese country, if he surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, he will be dealt with by the general in minutes. Therefore, on the surface, he tried his best to meet the requirements of the Ming army. In fact, he was still more inclined to the Japanese state.
From beginning to end, he never thought that one day, the Japanese nation would be destroyed by the Central Plains Dynasty. Even the most powerful Yuan Dynasty at the time would end up with its entire army annihilated when it launched an expedition against Japan. Although the Ming Dynasty had a temporary advantage, could it still be stronger than the Yuan Dynasty?
However, the Japanese reinforcements have not yet come, and the movement in Busan seems a bit ominous, which makes him very worried.
While waiting and watching, he suddenly heard that a Ming warship was coming, and he was so frightened that he rushed out to greet it. No matter what official position he came to, as long as he was in the Ming army, he would not dare to neglect it.
Not long after, Zong Yicheng confirmed with a look of disbelief: "What? The Japanese army in North Korea has been completely wiped out? This is impossible!"
Seeing this Japanese, at least in the eyes of the Ming army, this person on Tsushima Island was a Japanese. He was so surprised that he felt very happy in his heart. He immediately and proudly said again: "What is impossible? No one dares to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. A good ending. There are only 200,000 Japanese pirates, and it won’t be decided in one battle. Stop talking nonsense, have you agreed to the commander-in-chief’s order from me?”
