The one who contacted the court was the navy. Wu Sangui actually didn't care, because he felt that even after so many years of alliance between Jianlu and the Japanese country, the Japanese country had no movement anymore, so why did they form an alliance?
Therefore, he didn't worry if there was no further movement.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese army actually appeared in North Korea now!
At this time, Wu Sangui seemed to be guilty of Tai Sui and always encountered bad luck!
I won’t talk about the military merits of being knighted before, but they were lost before my eyes. I will just say that after becoming the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town this time, I felt a lot of fun when I first came here. I swept away the Jianlu along the coast and established a
Some credit, but what follows!
I originally thought that my uncle and his men had many acquaintances on the Jianlu side. Now that the imperial court is powerful, as long as they explain the situation, they can all abandon the dark side and join the army, thus achieving great success.
Unexpectedly, not to mention the people he was familiar with, not even the Han people could be seen. On the coast, the people he could come into contact with were either Koreans or other ethnic groups, and there were no Han people anyway.
According to the confessions of the captured prisoners, it was said that all the Han people he was familiar with and those he was not familiar with were all moved to the north of Shenyang by the Jianqi. How could they instigate rebellion?
Without such an easy opportunity to make meritorious deeds, Wu Sangui thought, "Forget it. With his three thousand cavalry troops, he can still make military exploits in such a large area as Liaodong and North Korea."
As a result, when winter passed and it was suitable for activities, Japanese troops were discovered in North Korea!
It was not easy to deal with the Jianlu, but now the Japanese army has arrived. What can we do?
Here in Dongjiang Town, the main force relies entirely on the three thousand cavalry troops he brought from Guan Ning. The other combat forces are too weak and can be ignored.
Now, I am afraid that the credit will not be reaped, and Dongjiang Town may be lost. Then it is a question whether the emperor will be blamed!
At this moment, Wu Sangui really felt that he had offended some kind of god, and whatever he did was not going well!
Seeing the personal guards rushing out to invite the navy commander, Wu Sangui looked at Kong Youde and suddenly felt that this disaster star had affected him, right?
Look at this Kong Youde. His father, mother, and fellow villagers are all dead, but he is still alive. Was he killed by him?
He recognized Mao Wenlong as his adoptive father and served under Mao Wenlong. As a result, Mao Wenlong also died a bad death. Was he killed by him?
Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, took a fancy to his ability and transferred him to Dengzhou to set up a new firearms army. Such a good thing was put on Kong Youde, but the result was not good, and it ended in rebellion. Sun Yuanhua was cut in half and punished by the court. Was he conquered by him?
Dead?
The slave chief Huang Taiji took Kong Youde in and made him king. But in the end, I heard that Huang Taiji died of vomiting blood. Was this another result of his death?
Also, he went on an expedition with the slave chieftain and Prince Azig of Shuoying. As a result, Azig was captured alive by the imperial officers and soldiers, and was taken to the capital and cut into pieces. Was this also his death?
Now, if he follows me, everything will go wrong for him. Is it possible that he will kill himself later?
The more Wu Sangui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The more he felt something was wrong, the more unkind his eyes looked at Kong Youde...
Kong Youde really wanted to suggest to Wu Sangui what to do if the Japanese army really had to launch a large-scale attack, but it turned out that there was something wrong with the way Wu Sangui looked at him.
"Commander, what's wrong with you?" Kong Youde asked with some doubts, "Don't worry too much, things won't go to the worst. Even if there is a problem, we are on Phi Island and have naval guards.
It’ll be okay!”
Upon hearing his words, Wu Sangui came to his senses. If he wanted to gain an invincible position, the key was to look to the navy.
So, he wanted to rush to see Zheng Zhilong and ask him about the situation. If Zheng Zhilong could give him a guarantee, then in such a big place like Korea, even if the Japanese army came, they could pick the weak points and attack.
By the way, Zheng Zhilong seems to be very familiar with the Japanese country, and I just happened to ask him about the situation in the Japanese country!
Thinking like this, he ignored Kong Youde and couldn't even wait. He stood up and walked out to find Zheng Zhilong to ask about the situation.
In Dongjiang Town, Wu Sangui is indeed the leader. However, Zheng Zhilong is on the same level as him, and Zheng Zhilong's mission is to assist him, not to obey his orders.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's place was worth a trip.
But before he reached the gate, he saw his personal guards leading Zheng Zhilong over.
So Wu Sangui hurriedly came over and greeted Zheng Zhilong: "Old Zheng, you are finally here, something big has happened!"
Zheng Zhilong actually had already guessed what was going on, but on the surface he remained calm. As he walked inside, he asked casually: "What's the big deal?"
Following into the lobby, Wu Sangui could no longer hold back and quickly said to Zheng Zhilong: "The Japanese army appeared in North Korea, at least 20,000 of them. It seems that they have a tacit understanding with Jianlu and accepted the territory of North Korea from Jianlu. You said, this
Has Jianlu formed an alliance with Japan?"
At this point, before Zheng Zhilong could answer, he quickly asked again: "By the way, didn't you hear about this last time? You sent someone to report it to the capital, but what's the result?"
Gu Juan
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong avoided answering and just asked about the specific situation in North Korea.
Wu Sangui had no choice but to ask Kong Youde to explain the news he had brought in detail.
After Kong Youde finished speaking, Zheng Zhilong confirmed that the Tokugawa shogunate had indeed landed in Korea on a large scale. The number of Japanese troops that followed would only increase.
Thinking like this, he said to Wu Sangui: "It seems that the Japanese country has really formed an alliance with Jianlu. From now on, North Korea may belong to the Japanese country. They will never let us stay on this Pi Island. What do you think of Lao Wu?
What should we do?"
Wu Sangui was impatient. When he asked him this question, he forgot to follow up on the question he had asked Zheng Zhilong before. He just replied to Zheng Zhilong: "Can your navy protect Pidao?"
This question is what he is most concerned about, so he wants this answer first.
After asking the question, he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want, so he immediately continued: "Brothers are saying that you are the hero of the sea. No one dares to disobey what you say! Right?"
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "I will not lie in front of you. My maritime strength is indeed not bad. However, the Japanese country is an island country, and their navy is considered powerful. If it is just a single person
The daimyo are the princes of the Japanese country, so I can deal with them, no problem. But if the navy of the whole country comes to attack, this is not my hometown in Fujian, so to be honest, I can't handle it!"
This answer was the last thing Wu Sangui wanted to hear. However, this was the answer that finally answered him, which made him very disappointed.
However, he also understood that what Zheng Zhilong said was reasonable and he found nothing wrong with it.
Zheng Zhilong couldn't defeat the Japanese navy, so he had no choice but to ask for help from the imperial court. Not to mention the lack of time, but as far as he knew, the imperial court didn't seem to have any warships available at the moment! It couldn't send reinforcements even if it wanted to!
And if the navy cannot defeat it, it will be impossible for Dongjiang Town to gain a foothold here!
Dongjiang Town, which has just been rebuilt not long ago, is about to be withdrawn in despair?
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui felt that he was really unlucky. How could he encounter such a thing?
How many years have passed since the Japanese Kingdom, and there has been no movement, but it happened to come over after he rebuilt Dongjiang Town! Which deity did not come to pay homage to him?
While he was thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong asked him: "What's your decision next?"
Wu Sangui was very unwilling, but he was still sensible. After pondering for a moment, he replied to Zheng Zhilong: "Can you watch the Japanese navy? If you feel that you can't stand it anymore, tell me in time. Before that, I will go ashore to take a look.
Can we perform some military exploits so that if we cannot withstand it anymore and withdraw again, we can give an explanation to the emperor?"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong confirmed to him again: "Is this your decision?"
"What else can we do?" Wu Sangui said reluctantly, "You can't just run away as soon as you hear the Japanese army is coming? You must not forget Zuo Liangyu and Huang's heads!"
If it was okay to run away after hearing the news in the past, no one dared to do it this time! Especially Wu Sangui, who had a criminal record, he did not dare to do it again.
Otherwise, he absolutely believes that others may be forgiven once, but he will definitely not be forgiven!
Zheng Zhilong nodded after hearing what he said, thinking that what he said made sense.
Wu Sangui was very upset about the current situation. Seeing Kong Youde still standing there, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that Kong Youde had defeated him, so he yelled at Kong Youde: "Why are you still standing? Why don't you go and continue to inquire about the news?
Only when you return home after winning the battle can you explain to me, do you understand?"
Kong Youde actually wanted to make meritorious deeds. When he heard this, he didn't think much about it. He quickly agreed and left immediately.
Seeing him leaving, Zheng Zhilong looked at the other people in the lobby, who were some of Wu Sangui's personal guards.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Wu Sangui: "Let all your people go out. I have something to say to you alone."
What do you want to say alone that you don’t even want your personal guards to listen to?
After Wu Sangui heard this, he couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that he was being persuaded to join the Jianlu people? Or was it the Japanese country?
Is this impossible?
My family is small, but they are all in the capital!
Besides, Emperor Taizu had already manifested his spirit, and the Ming Dynasty had many strong armies, so they weren’t afraid of the alliance between Jianlu and the Japanese, right?
Confused, Wu Sangui finally waved his hand and ordered his guards to retreat.
Seeing that he and Zheng Zhilong were the only two people left in the lobby, he asked a little dissatisfied: "If you have anything to say, just say it, but let me make it clear first that I will not do anything about surrender!"
No matter what, with such a statement, even if Emperor Taizu is invisible above his head, it will be fine.
