"I've already planned this, and I'm one of them tonight when there are three waves of men patrolling the port of Nagasaki.

The other two teams, one of which is led by my brother-in-law, can definitely be trusted, and the other team has also been bought by us, and my other team will replace them tonight. ”

Shuiichiro Yoshino knew that Zeng Taiwei would ask him this, he had already arranged it, and for this he used up the last bit of silver on his body.

"Here are your supplies, and in warehouse No. 4 opposite, are supplies for General Fujino, just like yours, in the number of five thousand.

In addition, the lord also named Fujino as the general of Dongyang, since he can't catch up for the time being, you will take his supplies away tonight.

Two days later, Fujino comes, and you give him the supplies.

Remember, in the future, the two of you will have to help each other, and there must be no gaps. ”

Zeng Dawei is warning Yoshino not to be greedy, the materials that should be given to Fujino Yokokawa by greedy ink, once he knows about it, it will be difficult to maintain the relationship between the two.

"I understand." Yoshino nodded.

He did have a trace of greed in his heart just now, but he quickly abandoned it, he is not the kind of person who is short-sighted.

After nightfall, Shuiichiro Yoshino temporarily gained control of Nagasaki Port in a short period of time according to his previous arrangement, and quickly transported the supplies in the ship's cabin.

"In the future, on the fifth of every month, our fleet will send you a batch of supplies, but it is impossible to have as many supplies every month in the future as this time.

Half a year later, the lord will send personnel to you and Fujino to assist you, and also to inspect your development by the way. ”

Zeng Dawei told Yoshino before he left.

Yoshino knew that half a year later, Li Zixiao sent someone to assist them, in fact, it was nothing more than to supervise them and see how his strength developed.

It is impossible for Li Zixiao to support Yoshino and Fujino without scruples, in case the two of them are Adou who can't be supported, or someone has two hearts.

At that time, Li Zixiao didn't raise tigers for trouble, and Li Zixiao wouldn't do this kind of stupid thing.

To tell the truth, Li Zixiao has a lot of things to do at this time, whether it is the Zheng family, which he is more concerned about at this time, or after the beginning of spring, he promised Lu Xiangsheng that he would send troops to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

In addition, Li Zixiao has just won Henan, and it is necessary to suppress Henan with strong troops, plus Liu Chong of Jinzhou, he must always beware of the attack of the Tartars.

It can be said that Li Zixiao at this time had no time to attack Dongying, and the reason why he sent Yoshino and Fujino back to Dongying in advance was nothing more than to lay a secret in advance.

Moreover, the strength of Dongying at this time must not be weak, you must know that fifty years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched a campaign against Korea after unifying Dongying.

The Ming Dynasty paid a great price to help Korea defeat the Dongying, and the combat power of the Dongying warriors should not be underestimated.

At this time, with the existing strength in Li Zixiao's hands, even if he gave up everything in the Ming Dynasty and raised all his troops and horses to attack Dongying, he might not be able to conquer the entire Dongying.

Unless one day, Li Zixiao can replace Daming, and at least control half of the land of Daming, he will be able to raise enough soldiers and horses to attack Dongying.

When Li Zixiao has free his hand and has time and energy to clean up Dongying, at that time, maybe Yoshino and Fujino can bring him unexpected surprises.

On the other hand, on March 10, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zixiao returned to Xuzhou, and Li Zixiao immediately sent Li Yan, who was responsible for secretly trading armor with the people sent by Li Zicheng.

There was enough armor for 50,000 people, as well as 200,000 stone of grain, which was sold to Li Zicheng by Li Zixiao for a price of more than one million taels.

It's just that, according to the standards of the White Dragon Army, these 50,000 soldiers and armor are actually in Li Zicheng's hands, and they can equip at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops.

After all, Li Zicheng's soldier does not need to be equipped with leather armor, cotton armor and iron armor at the same time, this is only the treatment of the elite of the army.

Li Zicheng's army, at this time, had already left Nanyang Mansion and killed in the Yunyang area north of Huguang, and was plundering money and grain on a large scale, preparing to return to Shaanxi.

And on the twelfth, Zheng Zhilong finally sent someone to Xuzhou, recalled Zheng Sen, and gave up his request for help from Li Zixiao.

This undoubtedly shows that Zheng Zhilong did not agree to Li Zixiao's two previous requests, and Zheng Zhilong will never let go of the East China Sea and Ryukyu Island.

In the end, Zheng Zhilong was still determined to gnaw the red-haired ghost on Ryukyu Island by himself.

After Li Zixiao learned that Zheng Sen left Xuzhou and returned to Quanzhou, he understood what Zheng Zhilong meant.

Li Zixiao had thought of this before, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to still refuse to give up absolute control of the southeast sea.

This made Li Zixiao's face gloomy, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "Hmph, their Zheng family has dominated the Southeast Sea for too long over the years.

They are accustomed to eating alone, and it seems that if they don't teach them a lesson, they can't easily allow us to get involved in the East China Sea and Ryukyu Island.

The annual profits there are too rich, and the Zheng family refuses to let people interfere.

But he Zheng family didn't look at it, how could our growing navy be trapped in the Yellow Sea in the north by them all the time?

Go south to the East China Sea, or even the South China Sea, that is what our White Dragon Army Navy must do, no one can stop us, the red-haired ghosts can't do it, and neither can their Zheng family.

If anyone stands in our way, we will destroy him. Tell Lu Yuan that Hong Sheng's Third Fleet will be left in Dengzhou and continue to support Jinzhou.

Then the fleet on Tamna Island was recalled, together with the two fleets anchored in the port of Haizhou, and went to the port of Yangzhou to suspend and let him speed up the formation of a new fleet.

Give him another half a month, and the new fleet must initially build up its combat strength, and then go south to the East China Sea with the three detachments for exercises.

I want to see if the Zheng family fleet, which is at war with the red-haired ghosts, has the courage to prevent such a huge fleet as ours from entering the East China Sea. ”

In the end, Li Zixiao's tone became more and more gloomy, and it was obvious that Li Zixiao at this time was unwilling to let his navy continue to stop north of the mouth of the Yangtze River and could not go south.

"Sir, if we do this, it will be equivalent to breaking the tacit understanding with the Zheng family before?"

Li Yan on the side reminded Li Zixiao at this time.

"What tacit understanding? The East China Sea is not the East China Sea of his Zheng family, and the same Daming naval division of our naval fleet also has the responsibility of defending the Daming Sea Frontier.

Why can't we go to the East China Sea, if their Zheng family wants to come to the Yellow Sea, I, Li Zixiao, will not stop me.

The so-called tacit understanding is used to break.

Since the Zheng family does not agree, we will send troops to help them defeat the red-haired ghosts, in exchange for our navy entering the East China Sea and obtaining the port on Ryukyu Island.

Then Benjue sent people south to the East China Sea, went to fight the red-haired ghost by himself, and took a port to come, who said that only his Zheng family could fight the red-haired ghost and protect the Daming Sea Frontier.

What their Zheng family can do, my White Dragon Army Navy fleet can do the same. In the end, Li Zixiao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Li Yan stopped talking, he knew that Li Zixiao was already in his heart at this time, and made up his mind to take this opportunity to let the White Dragon Army Navy fleet enter the East China Sea.

The White Dragon Army naval fleet is going south to attack the red-haired ghosts on Ryukyu Island, just like Li Zixiao said, the Zheng family really can't find any reason to oppose it.

At least at this point, Li Zixiao occupies the law and righteousness, and the rest depends on the strength of the White Dragon Army Navy.

And just when Li Zixiao was about to send the navy to get involved in the East China Sea, suddenly Zhou Qing sent someone from Tamluo Island to deliver an urgent report.

"What? Jiannu sent troops to attack North Korea? ”

Li Zixiao was also slightly surprised when he first got the news, but then he was relieved.

"Sure enough, the Tartars were very dissatisfied with the performance of North Korea when we sent troops into their territory last year, and this is time to liquidate.

This is very much in line with the character of the Tartar who must repay the Tartars. Li Zixiao said with a sneer.

"Sir, then the Korean king Li Liang sent someone to Tamna Island to ask us for help, should we send troops to rescue the Korean royal family!

According to the envoy sent to Tamna Island by the king of Joseon, Yi Ju said that this time the Tatars really came to destroy Korea, and they did not even give Yi Ju a chance to sue for peace.

In less than five days, the Tartars had made it all the way to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, and Li had already escaped from Seoul with a small number of royal members.

Now they are fleeing all the way south, hoping that we can send troops from Tamna Island, first pick up Li Liang to take refuge on Tamna Island, and then send troops to help them drive out the Tartars. ”

Li Yan on the side looked at Li Zixiao, and couldn't guess Li Zixiao's mind for a while, but just told Li Zixiao about the request of the Korean king Li Kun.

"Che, what's in it for us to get him back?

Is it like when I helped North Korea drive out the Dongying people, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops, exhausting our strength, and saving a North Korea? Is it worth it? ”

Li Zixiao said indifferently, it seemed that from his tone, he didn't care about whether North Korea was destroyed by the Tartars, and even had a hint of joy.

"Well, the lord is right." Li Yan responded.

Li Yan has been following Li Zixiao for a while, and he has a great understanding of Li Zixiao's actions and thoughts.

Knowing that at this time, Li Zixiao probably hoped that the Tatars would destroy North Korea.

For North Korea, the Ming domain, Li Yan didn't understand why, Li Zixiao has always shown that he doesn't like it.

Of course, Li Yan didn't know why Li Zixiao didn't like this cosmic power in later generations, because they were the stick country that once unified the whole universe!

However, for the battle when Daming helped North Korea resist the Dongying people, Li Zixiao actually supported it.

Because of that war, it was not so much to help the Koreans, but to help the Ming themselves, because the Ming would never allow the Japanese slaves to take the Korean Peninsula.

Otherwise, in the next step, the Japanese slaves will dare to enter the Ming Dynasty, compared to North Korea, the Japanese slaves are too aggressive, and their ambitions for the mainland have never stopped.

But Li Zixiao always felt that it was too disgusting to have such a vassal state as North Korea by his side, so it was better to destroy it directly and turn it into a province of the Ming Dynasty, so that he could rule better.

Put such a small country by your side, except when you are strong, he will sing praises to you, if you are down, he will look down on people and come over and step on you.

If you want such a small country, he is not qualified to be an ally, he is a vassal country, but he has never had the consciousness of a vassal country, and as the suzerain, Da Ming has paid more for it.

It's like raising a wicked slave, when the master is strong, he only knows how to enjoy the light, and when he is in trouble, he comes to ask the master to help solve it.

And when the master is down, he will look for a new master, and turn around to bully the former master, Li Zixiao will never be such a wronged leader.

In fact, since Li Zixiao hit Guanwai last year, he has been calculating, trying to destroy North Korea by the hand of Tartars.

After all, it is best not for the people on the side of the Ming Dynasty to do it themselves, and there is no doubt that it is most appropriate to kill people with a knife.

Last year, Li Zixiao entered the gate and killed so many people and soldiers of the Tartars, among whom the Koreans helped a little in the early stage.

The king of Joseon, Yi Jung, did not report to the Tatars at that time, and he wanted to continue to wait and see.

Anyway, Li Qi felt that no matter whether the Ming army won or the Tatar won in the end, he could only choose to take refuge in the victorious side, and the other party would not destroy him anyway.

He has always been a vassal king, from ancient times to the present, since this is the case, then he looks at who wins Li Zixiao and Tatar in the end, and who he will take refuge into.

As a result, this time Huang Taiji was really angry, and it was useless to use such a 'minion' who was placed next to him at such a critical moment.

What else does Lao Tzu want you to do, just kill it directly, it just so happened that the Tartars were so troubled by Li Zixiao last year, and a large number of people were missing, and now they are in urgent need of population and slaves.

This point is precisely what Li Zixiao calculated in advance.

Compared with the Korean king Li Liang, Li Zixiao has a better understanding of the ferocity of these Tartars of Huang Taiji.

Li Zixiao believes that as long as the Tartars who can be killed outside the pass are ruthless enough, and then calmly withdraw, in the end, Huang Taiji has nowhere to be angry, and he will definitely take out his anger at the court.

For the Tatars, it is too simple to destroy such a small country as North Korea.

And they won't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality like Da Ming, anyway, if you are disobedient, Lao Tzu lacks slaves, so I don't slaughter you!

At this time, there were still more than 4 million people in Korea, and if the Tatars could directly rule Korea, the population of more than 4 million would be enough to provide sufficient labor for the Tatars.

What the Tartars lack most now is the population, otherwise the Tartars would not often enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty and plunder the population and wealth.

Before the Tatars defeated North Korea, they did not eliminate the Korean Wang clan, and continued to make Li Liang the king, in order to stabilize North Korea and obtain benefits from North Korea as soon as possible.

After all, it would take more effort for the Tatars to inform the land of Korea themselves, and at that time the Tatars mainly focused on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

The Tartars have always adopted a policy of co-opting the forces of Mongolia and Korea, and the Tartars have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as their biggest enemy.

"So, sir, how do we reply from Tamna Island? Can Li Liang be saved? Li Yan finally asked.

"Li Liang should ask the saint for help, what is the matter with asking me for help from an earl, don't worry about him." Li Zixiao closed his eyes, lay on the recliner, and said.

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

After Li Zixiao said this, Li Yan couldn't be clearer about what Li Zixiao meant.

At the same time, Li Yan also sighed lightly in his heart at this time: The imperial court is over this time.
