Chapter 1123

Japan is an island country, not to mention military warships. There are countless civilian ships, but it's just to find some ships to deliver information to Beiming Dynasty. It's really not a big deal. Even for the sake of safety, this time the messenger sent out ten teams to prevent the interception of the five-star army at sea.

Zuli Yizheng was really careful enough. Ten groups of envoys scattered away. Some people were intercepted by the five-star army, so they revealed the news, but in the end, some ships luckily crossed the sea and came to Beiming.

Through the intercepted ships, the five-star army knew the actions of Zuli and Yizheng and reported them to Yang Chendong. Looking at the confessions delivered, Yang Chendong snorted coldly: "it's just a trapped animal. Do you really think that this way can stop the pace of our army? Hum, Yang Er, send a report to Xu Youzhen. He should know what to do and inform the front-line army to speed up the March. We don't have much time left."

......

Beiming Kyoto.

After the waves, the Japanese envoys finally came here, and then rushed to the Ministry of rites in charge of foreign affairs to send the calligraphy of justice and politics. In their view, the Japanese state is already in danger. The emperor of the northern Ming Dynasty should summon them soon, but unexpectedly, it will take several days.

It was not that the calligraphy had not been sent to Zhu Qiyu's hands. Now the imperial power is still very prestigious. Even if the Minister of rites is Hu Zhen and Yang Chendong's father-in-law, he also dare not suppress this matter. So the problem is not from the ritual department, but under the court hall.

After seeing the calligraphy presented by the Ministry of rites, Zhu Qiyu immediately held a court meeting to discuss the dispatch of troops. To his surprise, when it comes to sending troops to Japan, the following courtiers reacted strangely the same and did not agree to send troops.

Among them, Xu Youzhen, the crown prince's young Fu, the great bachelor and the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, was the most opposed.

"Your Majesty, we need to settle down first. Our own problems have not been solved. Where else can we help the Japanese country? We have to think twice about it."

On the surface, Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong are irreconcilable, so they are deeply trusted and relied on by Zhu Qiyu. Now he is the first to speak like this. Other ministers are also the beginning of you and me.

"Emperor, Xu Shaofu is right. Now what we should do most is to solve the problems of Shajing and Jingzhou, not to divide troops to help others."

"Yes, your majesty. According to the handwriting, the Japanese country is in danger. How big a problem can we solve even if we send troops now?"

"Yes. Fighting across the sea is bad for our supply of food and grass. Once something happens, it will be a big problem."

"I think that the Japanese used to invade our coastal areas. Now they deserve an accident."

"You adults are right. I agree."

"I seconded..."

Various statements have appeared, but the general idea is still unified, that is, do not send troops to help Japan.

The so-called lip cold tooth death, of course, has a certain truth. It's just that the northern Ming Dynasty and Japan face each other across the sea, which is difficult to stand. Especially in the period when the marine industry is not developed, no one will feel any danger and threat.

In their eyes, the safety of Beiming is the most important. At least the small vassal country, Japan, across the sea, cares what they do.

Zhu Qiyu, who sits on the Golden Dragon chair, originally looked like he had vowed. When he saw the calligraphy saying that he was willing to give priority to the northern Ming Dynasty for generations, he was a little excited after seeing that the annual tribute to the silver and two sessions had doubled.

It can be named and profitable. Such a thing is what the supreme emperor likes to do most.

I just didn't expect that the following officials would react so fiercely, which really surprised him. Of course, as his emperor, he can make decisions alone, and the ministers below can't say anything. But at a time when the five-star army is under pressure and even has a great victory in front of it, it will not be a good thing if it cools the heart of the ministers.

Without affecting himself, he can help others. He is named Deli. Zhu Qiyu is naturally willing to do it. But it made the northern Ming Court unstable, which was not what he wanted. At this moment, he became hesitant.

Where did Zhu Qiyu know that Xu Youzhen did a lot of work immediately after receiving the telegram sent by the personnel of the security bureau.

Since he chose to follow Yang Chendong, he was bent on the five-star army. While taking advantage of Zhu Qiyu's efforts to withhold the salaries of the ministers, he really attracted many people with the silver given by Yang Chendong. Now at least one fifth of the ministers in the court have benefited from him. Now is the time to show his power. He secretly contacted many people. When he knew that he was reasonable (polite), many people followed his lead.

Just like in the current court, most of those who spoke first were arranged by him. Under the guidance of public opinion, some people and officials who were not aware of it were also persuaded to express their own opinions one after another.

Yang Chendong's plan came into effect. Considering too many objections at the court meeting, Zhu Qiyu didn't put forward the matter of sending troops at the risk of universal condemnation, but said he was considering it. Using this time, Yang Chendong commanded the five-star army to gallop continuously on the Japanese battlefield, compressing the territory and strength of the Japanese army.

More than 20 days have passed since the last request for help, and there is still no news favorable to him. At last, the government of justice and profit, which was originally stable in the army, was unable to stand. He once again called his confidant, Maori regular, to discuss the solution to the crisis.

When there were only two people in the big tent, Zuli Yizheng said, "the general wants to send a letter to President Kuroda of Nanhai Road to meet us. How about it?"

When the political words of foot profit and righteousness fell, Maori's body was obviously tense.

The Japanese Navy is still very strong and has a lot of troops. At present, there are at least 300000 Japanese navies in the South China Sea, which is also the foundation of Japan's establishment at sea. Only because the Navy division of the five-star army was more powerful, especially the artillery in the ship had a longer range, it did not give full play to their strength.

But even so, the sea division of the five-star army has not underestimated this strength. The news comes back that it can only encircle the five-star army in the South China Sea, which is enough to explain everything.

It is impossible for the righteous government not to know this, but now he wants to transfer these navies. Don't you know that taking the initiative to break through will cause heavy losses? But we still have to do so. The meaning is a little more personal.

In Maori's mind, he quickly thought of a possibility that Zuli Yizheng was really afraid of the five-star army, which was leaving a way for himself. After all, with the help of the Navy, they have the ability to leave Japan at any time, and can survive in a new place except here. Without the help of a strong navy, everything would have to be mentioned.

"Can it be said that the senior general has made the worst plan?" Maori regular looked up and nodded after Zuli Yizheng. "It's good. Although breaking through the encirclement will lose some, it's not a long-term plan to be encircled in the end."

That is, the righteous government of Zuli has made a decision. Even if Maori regularization is prevented, it is difficult to make a trip. If it is not done well, it will offend the general, which is very unfavorable to his future.

Maoli Zhengzheng agreed. He didn't surprise Zuli and Yizheng. He smiled, "very good. Let's settle the matter like this."

Zuli Yizheng was indeed prepared for defeat and escape. Facing the strong offensive of the five-star army, he knew that some things were irreversible, especially after Beiming didn't get a reply, this idea was more firm, but what he didn't think of was that this time's backhand accelerated the collapse of the whole Japanese army.

Unlike the five-star army's radio station, which is beyond this era, there are only two ways to send a message to President Kuroda of Nanhai Road, one is to send a message by carrier pigeon, the other is to send a message. For the sake of insurance, both methods were used, and it was this decision that gave the five-star army time to prepare in advance.

The carrier pigeon in the sky is not so easy to catch, especially the kind of well-trained carrier pigeon. But this thing is not completely grasped. For example, accidents with carrier pigeons are common. In order to ensure both safety and benefit, the righteous government sent an insignificant civilian ship to the South China Sea Road.

Things are bad on such a civilian ship. On the periphery of Nanhai Road, which has been completely blocked, even Han civilian ships and merchant ships will not pass the inspection, let alone a Japanese national ship. Therefore, under close inspection, the messenger was found out, and the matter about the general's order to let the sea division break through no longer became a secret.

The following people reported the situation to Yang Chendong by telegram at the first time. After hearing this, Yang Chendong decided to make a plan after careful consideration.

If everything on the grassland is peaceful and there is enough time, Yang Chendong is not prepared to make a living for any Japanese army. They can only choose death in addition to surrender. But now, the external environment is not satisfactory. The new second army will face big problems at any time. Time does not wait. The affairs of the Japanese country must be solved in a quick way.

Among them, the Japanese sea division is the existence that gives Yang Chendong a headache.

The 300000 navy has a great advantage in quantity. In addition, there are small artillery. It is not easy to bite down this hard bone. In addition, President Kuroda is not a vegetarian. According to the news from the intelligence personnel lurking in Hokkaido, under his management, the public security there is still stable, which eliminates the possibility of internal attack.

When he was worried about how to eat this group of Japanese troops and how to occupy Nanhai Road to solve his worries, Yang Chendong saw the opportunity with the order of general Zu Li Yizheng.
