This person was none other than Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang in the Ming Dynasty.
Based on the information Zheng Zhilong gave him about the situation of the Japanese in Korea, he deduced that there must be something going on here in Busan. Therefore, when sneaking south, he did not attack other targets at all and went straight to Busan.
Now looking through the telescope, he really guessed it right.
Not only were Japanese people being transported to Korea in a steady stream, but there were also mountains of various grain and grass supplies.
Speaking of which, it is Jianlu's credit.
Before the Jianlu handed over Korea to the Japanese, they plundered North Korea's population and materials. At least in the southern part of Seoul, the Jianlu basically plundered everything.
Thanks to the quick arrival of the Japanese army, they negotiated with Ying Erdai in Seoul, then went to Shengjing to negotiate with Dorgon, competed in martial arts, etc., and finally left behind the remaining population and materials of North Korea.
However, Korea was not originally a fertile place. It had been plundered several times by the rebels. In addition, the court and officials were incompetent and ineffective in running the country. The total amount of food and grass supplies was small, and the food and grass supplies available to the Japanese were also limited.
However, Wu Sangui is still making trouble in the north, which means that normal farming cannot be carried out in northern North Korea.
As a result, the Japanese in North Korea could not achieve self-sufficiency at all, and could only rely on support from the Japanese mainland to avoid starvation of the Japanese in North Korea.
In the first year, the largest amount of grain and grass supplies was imported, and then it became less and less year by year. But even so, with the large-scale migration of Japanese people to North Korea, the amount of grain and grass supplies that followed was also an astronomical figure. At least it must be guaranteed
The food and supplies provided by the Japanese who migrated here can last until the time of harvest.
At this time, a general beside Wu Sangui asked a little worriedly: "Commander, are there too many people here?"
The number of Japanese Japanese here in Busan is estimated to be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. However, there are only more than 3,000 Japanese here.
After hearing this, Wu Sangui put down his telescope and turned around to look, and saw that more than one of his men looked a little worried.
So, he pointed at the Japanese in the direction of Busan and said: "Look carefully, although there are many Japanese, most of them are ordinary Japanese with large and small bags. The number of Japanese soldiers, I estimate, is probably
Just over five thousand."
After a pause, Wu Sangui added: "If you look carefully, those Japanese troops are all crooked. They are probably just local guards, and they are definitely not elite! With them alone, ten thousand are not enough for us to kill.
!”
Listening to his words and his confident tone, his men all began to observe the Japanese in Busan again.
It has to be said that Wu Sangui is indeed capable of leading an army in battle. He observed carefully and quickly assessed the approximate strength of the enemy.
His men, after receiving his reminder, slowly regained their confidence.
Guan Ning's cavalry army dared to fight the Jianlu cavalry army back then, but they were really not afraid of the Japanese in front of them.
Because they are all veterans who are used to fighting, and they understand that if they are ordinary people, when facing a cavalry charge, no matter how many people they have, it is useless.
While they were watching, Wu Sangui suddenly ordered: "Generals, obey the order!"
As soon as his men heard this, they immediately turned and stood facing him, waiting for military orders.
Wu Sangui began to give orders: "I have decided to rest today and have dinner before dawn tomorrow. In the early hours of the morning, when the road can be clearly seen, the cavalry will launch a charge. Please prepare more fire starters to burn the house."
, burn the tents, burn the boats, and drive all the Japanese into the sea!"
After a pause, he added the order: "Leave two hundred men and horses with branches tied to their tails to bluff so that the Japanese don't know who we are."
Having said this, Wu Sangui turned to look at the following North Koreans, about 600 infantry troops, and said to their commander: "You are also bluffing, creating the momentum of tens of thousands of infantry troops to charge later."
"As ordered!" All the generals responded in unison, with excitement evident in their voices.
With less than 4,000 people, they dared to fight against 100,000 Japanese. After this battle, they would have bragging rights when they returned home.
In the following time, Wu Sangui continued to observe the enemy's situation.
He found that the Japanese soldiers in Busan were not alert at all. They were more interested in maintaining order.
Some Japanese people set out to go north, but there were still more Japanese people who set up tents around Busan, probably waiting to be assigned somewhere.
These Japanese people can be seen through the telescope, and they are all very happy. They must be very longing for the days after arriving in North Korea, right?
Wu Sangui thought in his heart, but sneered: Tomorrow, there will be a time to make you cry!
Until the evening, Wu Sangui found no new situation, no new Japanese troops appeared, and no elite Japanese troops were seen. There were twenty-three Japanese ships parked at the dock in the morning, but in the afternoon
, five ships left, and no new ships arrived.
Seeing that the enemy situation would basically not change, Wu Sangui summoned his generals again and began to assign specific tasks based on the specific enemy situation in Busan: who was responsible for which area, which area to burn, how to drive away the Japanese, etc.
As night fell, the Ming troops in the mountains rested. However, the Japanese in Busan still kept making noises.
It must be that they feel that when they set foot in North Korea, they will start a new life, with a house, a field, and Korean slaves, and they will be so excited that they cannot sleep in the days when they will become human beings, right?
The people in the mountains, thinking so in their hearts, are all angry, especially the Koreans, who can't wait to come early tomorrow to crush all the Japanese pirates who have invaded their homes!
……………………
The defender of Busan is Matsudaira Nobutsuna's son, Matsudaira Nobutsada, who has just turned twenty years old.
To outsiders, Busan was a very important port for the Japanese to arrive in Korea, so it had to be guarded by trusted people;
In fact, the Busan guard is a fat vacancy with no danger!
Southern Korea, at least the area south of Seoul, was not only plundered by the Qing Dynasty, but also swept and suppressed by the Japanese army. It is considered the most peaceful place in Korea. This can be seen from the settlement of ordinary Japanese people.
There may be some Koreans in the mountains, but the number is certainly not large. Not to mention posing a threat to Busan, even ordinary Japanese villages have not heard of any cases of being attacked by Koreans for a long time.
Unless the enemy comes from the sea, but where do the enemies come from the sea?
Therefore, there is actually no danger in Busan at all.
Why is it fat?
Because all the supplies shipped from Japan were piled up in Busan, if they got stuck a little, a lot would be left behind. In addition, which daimyo's civilians were sent away first also depended on the Busan garrison.
Therefore, whoever wants to leave first has to give gifts to the Busan defender, which is another huge amount of income.
In addition, the people below can punish these civilians through inspections and make a lot of money privately;
If this is not fatness, then what is fatness?
The person in charge of the Japanese state in Korea is Matsudaira Nobutsuna, so naturally this fat job will not fall into the hands of others. In other words, Yagyu Jubei can also share some. The deputy general guarding Busan is Yagyu Jubei.
His younger brother, Sofuyu Yagyu.
At this time, the two of them were drinking as usual, from dusk to night.
As soon as I drank too much, I started bragging and chatting again.
Matsudaira's face turned red from drinking, and he said to Yagyu Munefuji: "Yagyu-kun, I heard that you can also pretend to be a woman, why don't you pretend to be one and show me?"
"That won't work!" Yagyu Munefuji refused directly after hearing this, "Anyone who sees me in women's clothing will die!"
He is a ninja. When he was 15 years old, he blindfolded his eyes, tied his hands and feet, had tooth extraction surgery, and then installed a full set of boxwood dentures, so that he could carry out tasks disguised as a woman.
However, as the situation in Japan stabilized and Tokugawa Iemitsu completed the seclusion of the country, he lost his usefulness and never dressed up as a woman again.
In other words, the Matsudaira family and the Yagyu family were both the right-hand men of General Tokugawa, so they knew this.
At this time, after Yagyu Munefuji finished speaking, he burped and said: "When the war against the Ming Dynasty begins, I can't be so decadent. I have to cheer up again and let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty see my women's clothing."
, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Matsudaira Nobusada was also excited. He immediately slammed the table and said, "If you go to assassinate the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, how about I lead troops into the capital of the Ming Kingdom to meet you?"
"That's impossible. Is the capital of the Ming Dynasty something you can go to if you want to?" Yagyu Soudong listened, waved his hand and said, and then went to get the wine glass.
Matsudaira Nobusada was young and energetic, and had drunk too much. When Yagyu Munefu said this, he immediately became unhappy and immediately shouted: "My swordsmanship is no worse than yours. Those wise people should not look at tall people."
Big, I’ll cut you one by one, believe it or not?”
At this point, he snorted again and said: "That means the people of the Ming Dynasty are too far away. Otherwise, believe it or not, just by your drinking time, I can kill a person from the Ming Dynasty to show you!"
When Yagyu Munefu heard this, he immediately patted the table and said: "Okay, let's make an agreement. When we attack the Ming Dynasty one day, we will compete to see who can kill more Ming people? The first one to kill a hundred.
Just win, how about that?”
"It's a deal!" Matsudaira Nobusada agreed immediately after hearing this, and then said proudly, "To tell you the truth, I have already practiced with Koreans, hehe, I am experienced in killing people!
"
"Haha, do you think I don't have it?" Yagyu Munefu didn't want to be outdone after hearing this, "I can tell you, if you give up early, I can also teach you the experience of killing Akito, I mean those people are tall and powerful!"
"Do I still need you to teach me?"
"..."
The two Japanese pirate leaders were drinking and bragging as usual until very late, when they were drunk and then fell asleep under the care of their men.
For them, life in Busan is so pleasant!
The night gets darker and darker, and finally, a trace of white fish belly appears in the eastern sky, signaling that a new day has arrived.
