Along the way, Hauge's troops hurried on in fear. Not only worried about being ambushed by the Ming army on the road, but also worried about the defeat in Kyoto, it can be said that I don't know how to live my life well.
Thanks to Hauge, he came up with a weird trick. He asked Bao Cheng to dress up like a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, and then used fists and kicks when he was in a bad mood, which relieved his suffocating mood.
But in this case, Bao Chengxian was unlucky. While walking, I was suddenly scolded by Hauge; while I was sleeping, I was suddenly beaten by Hauge; while I was eating, I was suddenly beaten by Hauge...
To be honest, seeing that Hauge finally had a place to vent, other Jianlu also wanted to beat him up to relieve their depressed mood. It's just that Bao Chengxian, an old guy who hasn't been beaten before, has to be careful when Hauge vents his anger alone, fearing that he will be beaten to death accidentally.
On this day, in the midst of suffering, Hauge's troops finally arrived in Kyoto. Looking at Kyoto in ruins, Hauge wanted to cry without tears. Unexpectedly, he went to sneak attack the Ming army, but his base was lost.
Thinking of the Ming army's Deshan, it was still under construction, while Kyoto was its own complete capital. Just such an exchange was such a huge loss!
However, what made him fortunate was that after the Ming army retreated, Jianlu came back to check the situation, so he contacted Hauge and the others. I learned that most of the people escaped and are now in Nagoya.
But at the same time, there is also bad news. The Tokugawa shogunate learned about what was going on in Kyoto and took the opportunity to increase the intensity of their attack. On the Nagoya side, Haug took away the elite again, so they were retreating steadily. Several daimyo who originally followed Haug had rebelled. Now it can no longer withstand the attacks of the Tokugawa Shogunate and is retreating steadily.
When Hauge heard this, he was furious: Damn it, I can't defeat the Ming army, but you Japanese dare to take advantage, so go to hell!
So, he immediately began planning an attack on the Tokugawa Shogunate.
At this time, Turge, who had sneak attacked Xiaguan, also came back. Just like Hauge in Deshan, he gained nothing and lost about a hundred people.
Although this result had been expected, Hauge was still depressed after knowing it. As a result, Bao Chengxian was inevitably beaten and scolded again.
Turge was surprised, thinking that he used to fight the Ming army every day, but now he was beaten by the Ming army every day. He was thinking, with his status, could he also beat him to relieve his depression?
…………
Subsequently, Hauge resumed war with the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although Hauge's troops, led by Bai Jiabing and Jianlu, were brave and good at fighting, no matter what, this time he led the elite to sneak attack the Ming army every time, not only causing the elite to run back and forth, but also starving in the end. After all, elites are human beings too, and it takes time to recover.
But these are actually trivial matters. The most fatal thing for Hauge's troops was that the Ming army launched a sneak attack on Kyoto, causing him to lose half of the grain and grass supplies stored in Kyoto. If the Jianlu from Kyoto hadn't taken away a lot of them when they fled for their lives, there would be no need to fight in the future.
But even so, the lack of food and supplies made Hauge's troops unable to withstand the offensive of the Tokugawa Shogunate. They retreated steadily from Nagoya to the ruins of Kyoto.
In this regard, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had won consecutive battles, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was a smile on his face. As long as Aisin Gioro, the force that built the captives, was wiped out, the other daimyo would not be so difficult to deal with, and there would be hope for reunifying the Japanese kingdom.
Even if we can't wipe out the Jianlu forces, we can just drive them southward to the Ming army's sphere of influence. In short, it is necessary to destroy this force of Jianlu!
Both Itakura Shigemune and Hoshina Masayuki are always reminding that Hauge's subordinates must take advantage of this rare opportunity to eradicate them. As for the emperor, it is best if he can be recaptured. If he cannot be recaptured, he will be killed. From then on, there will be no so-called emperor in Japan.
In this way, Japan's Honshu Island was beaten to shit again. The Ming army's one-day trip to Kyoto also let the Japanese people know that there was a powerful Ming army there, and no one dared to provoke it. This also meant that there was no war in the south.
Needless to say, after knowing this situation, the Japanese people began to flee south to avoid the war and just to survive.
As a result, Sun Chuanting had more manpower to build the city. Moreover, under the pressure of competition, the Japanese showed unimaginable endurance. As long as they had a bite to eat, they were willing to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire.
Seeing that Xiaguan was about to be repaired and Deshan was about to be completed, Sun Chuanting became a little restless. While starting to reorganize the young people among the Japanese, I started to think about what to do next!
On this day, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly came to see Sun Chuanting and reported to him: "Sir, according to the news from the Japanese who fled to the south, it was said that Emperor Gokomei of Japan took advantage of the chaos to escape and was captured by the Tokugawa shogunate, so they announced that Emperor Minsho had abdicated. , and now the legitimate emperor is Emperor Gomitsu."
"Dog bites dog, as you like!" Sun Chuanting commented expressionlessly after hearing this.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong added: "The emperor of Japan has existed for thousands of years and has a great influence in Japan. If the general's prediction is correct, after the Tokugawa shogunate has the emperor Goko Mikado, the situation will change It will be more advantageous, and the Jianlu might be wiped out by them."
In the past, the Japanese who could not escape had brought back some news about the war in the north. They knew that the Tokugawa shogunate was pressing harder and the Japanese forces were getting smaller and smaller, and life was very sad. Now that there is an additional emperor, life will definitely be even more difficult.
"Oh?" This time, after hearing that the Jianlu were likely to be wiped out by the Tokugawa shogunate, Sun Chuanting finally reacted and said, "Send out night-time investigators to see how their fighting situation is?"
Even without Emperor Chongzhen's instructions, Sun Chuanting himself would never want the Tokugawa shogunate to dominate.
It's true to say that he was originally good, but this Jianlu insisted on provoking him, so that his strength was greatly damaged and the Tokugawa shogunate took advantage of him. Is this deserved?
Zheng Zhilong went to do it immediately according to Sun Chuanting's wishes. They sent warships to the north, and when they almost docked, they sent out Ye Fushou, who could speak Japanese, to investigate the war between Jianlu and the Tokugawa shogunate.
However, before Ye Bu could retract the message, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict arrived.
This time the imperial edict was not a serious edict, but an edict conveyed through flying pigeons.
Now it is August of the 21st year of Chongzhen, and the carrier pigeon channel has been almost built. It is convenient to send messages from the capital, but it is not possible to send serious orders.
Sun Chuanting translated the content himself, and as soon as he saw it, a hint of excitement appeared on his face. In his decree, Emperor Chongzhen made micro-control of the Japanese war and set the latest policy.
So, he immediately summoned Zheng Zhilong and others, held a military meeting, and said to them: "In order to completely defeat the remnants of the Jianlu, the Tokugawa shogunate reached an agreement with several northern daimyo, and then deployed all its troops to attack the remnants of the Jianlu. Now the Jianlu remnants are almost unable to resist, and the situation is very bad..."
Zheng Zhilong was very surprised when he heard this. Sun Chuanting clearly didn't know the situation in the north before, and he still asked himself to send people around the clock to inquire about the situation. How could he know so much and such detailed military information in the north now?
To be honest, he immediately thought of Emperor Chongzhen, but considering that Emperor Chongzhen was far away in the capital, it seemed impossible, so he was a little confused.
Then, Zheng Zhilong immediately remembered the letter home sent to him by his son Zheng Chenggong. The letter mentioned that during the battle in Nanyang, the emperor once sent some mysterious wood carvings to the people below, saying that as long as he spoke to those wood carvings, Even though he is thousands of miles away, the emperor can know it immediately. Later facts proved that the mysterious wood carving did have this ability and could let the emperor know it immediately.
It is a pity that after the war, those mysterious wooden sculptures were taken back by the emperor. Otherwise, such a good thing could become a family heirloom.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong suspected that there should be some Jin Yiwei spies in Japan, who had received the mysterious wood carvings as a gift from the emperor.
In fact, he was almost right. Hauge and Turge had the so-called mysterious wood carving function, which allowed Emperor Chongzhen to learn about the situation in the Japanese country as far away as the capital, and immediately issued an edict.
What others don’t know is that flying pigeons to send letters are actually affected by many factors, such as weather, birds of prey, etc. Letters can easily be lost. As a result, the message may be sent but the recipient cannot receive it, thus causing bad things. .
But for Emperor Chongzhen, this impact was not very great.
He also had Class A eavesdropping seeds on Sun Chuanting and knew whether Sun Chuanting had received them. Counting the time, if Sun Chuanting did not receive it, another Fei Ge letter would be issued until Sun Chuanting could receive it.
No matter whether there are any problems with this flying pigeon message delivery method, it is still faster than other methods of delivering messages. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen has now ordered the deployment of flying pigeons to deliver messages across the country, mainly for the transmission of messages from the southeast to the northwest.
It's not that he hasn't thought about radios in later generations, but this thing has many prerequisites. At least at this stage, it can't be made yet. He can only rely on Ming's wealth to build a few important flying pigeon messages. Let’s talk about the communication channels.
At this time, after Sun Chuanting introduced the situation, he gave Zheng Zhilong a military order and asked him to execute it immediately.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty's navy and army immediately dispatched and set off to sea again.
Compared with the sneak attack on Kyoto a few months ago, this time because more Ming troops arrived in Japan, the scale of the expedition was larger.
Just like that, Ming saw that the Japanese side was stronger in the chess game, so he reached out to fiddle with it and manipulated the Japanese chess game.
In this regard, the various forces of the Japanese country who are chess pieces still know nothing about it.
