Chapter 968 Afterglow of the Empire (24)

The prelude to the official retreat of the Japanese army has begun.

Hideyoshi led the way, started the war with his own strength, and then left a mess for Tokugawa. The better he did, the more favor he gained.

The major leaders of the Kyushu Corps have received a formal retreat order. This time the Ming army sent nearly 100,000 troops, and they can barely stop them. What about another 200,000 next time? Everyone unanimously agreed to accept it, and silently approached Busan, which is not far from Sacheon.

As the second batch of returnees, their conditions were not as good as those of the first batch. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, the navy of the Fujido family took over the important task.

Fujido Takatora, a famous house slave with eight surnames in the Warring States period of Japan, has served eight lords in total, and the record is far better than Wen Hou in the romance.

After Hideyoshi's death, he took the initiative to approach Tokugawa Ieyasu and secretly confessed his sincerity. If he didn't give up, he had already stated in the letter.

However, the extremely powerful Maeda Toshiie who is dedicated to assisting the Toyotomi family is still alive, so Gao Hu dare not make it too obvious.

Experienced in naval warfare.

Wander between the two.

Fujido Takatora is indeed a good candidate.

At the beginning, when the Japanese army advanced by land and water, Lu Li briefly fought with him when they encircled Nanyuan from left to right. Now he became active again and was in charge of transporting troops back to the country.

After accepting the important task, Fujido began to mobilize the fleet, and notified the various ministries of Kyushu to gather the samurai under his command as soon as possible so that they could be transported away at one time. If the speed is fast, he might be able to catch up with the elite of the Western Kingdom and go home with them.

After finally being able to leave the Asura Battlefield, the Kyushu Corps, which had suffered heavy losses, immediately said that everyone is ready, and they will come directly to Xishengpu.

During this period, Guo Guoan, who held a high position in the Shimadzu family and witnessed the war coming to an end, breathed a sigh of relief. His enthusiasm for the country has since been useless. Considered.

Due to secrecy and various factors, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty officials to provide him with any rewards, whether it is money or fame. At most, when compiling history, it will cost two ink and add a compliment.

at the same time.

Seeing that Tadakatsu Honda, who led the army alone in the west, had not replied to a letter after sending troops to light the beacon some time ago, Tokugawa had a bad feeling.

Ben Duo has the great grace of saving lives, and he is a banner of the Eastern Kingdom, which 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 an agreement with him tacitly and will not interfere with the retreat plan. of Liu Ting.

All departments in the Kanto must be mobilized to drag Honda out of Suncheon!

In this regard, the generals have said yes.

The Dongguo Navy, which originally transported 100,000 troops across the sea, dispatched and boarded the ship to rescue Honda Zhongsheng.

And Dong Yiyuan had seen clearly the mobilization of the Japanese army long ago, and immediately sent an envoy to ask, when will the big tortoise shell of Sacheon be given up?

Peace talks are taboo for the imperial court.

If you don't reap some benefits as soon as possible, the supervising army can't justify it.

De Chuan was really upset and nervous, but he didn't want to spoil the overall situation of the peace talks, so he immediately gave two sweet dates to stabilize Dong Yiyuan's central army.

The heads of two thousand North Korean slaves.

As we all know, the dead can't speak, and it's not the first time the Ming army has done this kind of thing. With the cooperation of high-level officials, it's difficult to turn a fake head into a real one?

Immediately... after Ma Gui, Dong Yiyuan also made a great victory in the middle, and the operation was exactly the same. One battle report was sent to the Xingjun Gate in Seoul, and one was sent directly to the capital for the Holy Lord to see.

And the second sweet date is a promise.

Some Japanese troops are scattered on cliffs and high mountains, such as South China Sea islands, Jinshan, Yishan and other places. the finishing touches.

There is no way, these people are too scattered, and for the big troops who are racing against time to leave, they have to give up and simply do personal favors.

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, and he was also very concerned about the situation, and he knew the temperament of the high-level Ming army.

The East Route Army and the Central Route Army were all dragged into the water, and Liu Ting, the admiral of the West Route Army,

It's not like the kind of hero who is determined and determined to fight to the death. He must have committed something and lacks credit, so Ma Gui and Dong Yiyuan tried to communicate secretly.

Isn't it a benefit? Give!

Among them, the distribution map of the remnant army is a great gift to the navy, because only with a large-scale fleet can they get the credit for it.

the other side.

After taking the lead many times, Lu Li finally led his army up to the tower of Suncheon City, leaving behind a long stretch of blood-stained beach.

"The night is long and the dream is full. You must see the head of Honda Tadakatsu within three days."

He wiped the blood from his face and leaned against the city wall, panting.

Beside him, Chen Lin with pale lips licked his lips and said proudly, "Two days."

in the city.

Hearing that a landing force organized by a foreign navy had taken down a city gate, Tadakatsu Honda just nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

They couldn't rush out, but they could continue to hold on. After all, it wasn't all bad for the Ming army to enter the outskirts of the city. At least there would be no intermittent bursts of artillery rain, unless they wanted to implicate their own people.

And Honda has a hunch that just like saving Ieyasu in the past, the other party will come to rescue him at the moment of desperation.

Therefore, Dongguo Wushuang also has pride in his heart, and firmly believes that he can persist until that moment.

For a moment, the sea city on the edge of the peninsula became of great significance.

Yang Gao, who was far away in Seoul, figured out the general situation, and the three admirals all adopted a stance of appeasement.

Dong Yiyuan, who should have dared to fight and fight hard, even if he fought all his subordinates, became extremely docile and no longer organized a second wave of onslaught.

Not to mention Ma Gui in the east, he was exactly who he was at the beginning, and he really facilitated a peace negotiation, letting go of the main force of the Japanese army.

But Liu Ting seemed to be unstoppable. When he talked about the anti-Japanese war, he said one set of cruel words after another, but in fact he was even more cowardly. This time he completely offended the navy to death, and was stabbed to the court. Ben, take the credit to protect yourself.

If the Japanese army do what they like and give credit for their merits, will the old boy continue to work hard?

Yang Hao is too smart, he would be stupid in the middle of the situation, but changing the angle and place, it is different to take care of the overall situation, and he can directly see the thoughts of the three admirals.

Among the four-way armies advancing side by side, only the navy with Lu Li, Chen Lin, and Li Shunchen in command is the one that is sincere and desperate to fight against the Japanese at the last moment...

It's hard to stand alone.

Moreover, no matter how the Japanese army withdraws, it will still bring full pressure to Daming.

Leaving aside the completely besieged Honda Tadakatsu Department, the Kwantung Allied Forces still have more than 80,000 troops. Including the Japanese Navy Navy that was prepared for the big retreat with the whole country, it is not worthwhile to head-to-head, and the chances of winning are not great.

On the contrary, it will arouse the momentum of the Japanese army to break the boat.

Negotiation, yes.

But it is not allowed to be an admiral's kind of private agreement that is sneaky and can't get on the table.

You must show off the majesty of the heavenly court!

As for the specific details, how much initiative can be occupied depends on the battle of Shuntian.

...

The weather is getting colder, everyone, keep warm, don't catch a cold, unfortunately you will be caught in the street...
