948 Japanese situation

As a result, Huang Taiji was worried. The battle of the country was full of troops, and the food was consumed every day. If this war continued, he could not afford it!

However, another slave chief was exactly the same as him. His mood could be described as overjoyed. This person was Dorgon hiding in North Korea.

He didn't expect that someone from Japan came back and brought two large ships of food.

Then Dorgon sat upright in the main seat, Dodo was sitting with him, and was meeting the messenger sent by Ying'erdai from Japan.

"Report to my master, everything goes well in Japan. This is the letter from General Ying'erdai. Please check it out." A letter that was obviously a bit thick was presented with both hands. Duoduo hurried forward and stepped forward in front of the messenger in two big steps. After snatching the letter with one hand, he subconsciously wanted to expand it. But he quickly came to his senses, turned around and handed it to his brother first.

Dorgon didn't change his expression, but he smiled and did not refuse. After receiving the letter, he immediately opened it and started reading.

In this thick letter, Ying'erdai knew that the two masters would be very concerned about the situation in Japan, so he reported to the trip to Japan in detail.

In Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate is currently in power, and he has always been slaughtering all the remnants of the previous dynasty. Therefore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's grandson, Toyotomi Kyomoto, fled to the westernmost part of Japan and the Satsuma tribe closest to North Korea.

In Japan, the Dainame vassals with close ties to the shogunate were all enfeoffed near Edo, and the more distant the relationship, the further their territories were from Edo. The Satsuma vassal is located at the westernmost part of the four islands of the Wako Islands, and its relationship with the Tokugawa Shogunate can be imagined. It is also because of this that Toyotomi Komatsu was able to find a shelter here, which was changed to the name of Kinoshita Nagai vassal under the Toyogoko Sunrise vassal.

After receiving help from the Qing Dynasty this time, Kinoshita Natsuki originally wanted to change his original name immediately and call on his old subordinates to join forces. However, he was persuaded by Ying'erdai. It is not advisable to attract the attention of Edo before his strength is insufficient.

However, Toyotomi Kyotomi Kyotomi also began the war to annex the surrounding forces, and it is still very smooth at present. The Qing soldiers, as the main force of the war, have helped Toyotomi Kyotomi Kyotomi unknowingly expand their power by more than three times.

However, such actions have attracted the attention of Tadahoshi Shimazu of Satsumoban. It is very likely that the two sides will have a conflict soon. Therefore, Toyotomi Kuromoto strongly demanded that the Qing Dynasty send more elite troops, and the two ships of food transported by the messenger were his wishes.

This is the main situation in Japan. After Ying'erdai introduced it, he reported to his two masters about his feelings after going to Japan.

The Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan was afraid that other daimyos would learn from him and rose up to rebel and overthrow his rule. Therefore, the suppression of daimyos in various places was very powerful. The soldiers who could fight against the Ming Dynasty were now old, while the new generation of soldiers had almost completely lost their combat power under the deliberate suppression of the Tokugawa Shogunate. According to the British and Ordai's feeling, the current situation in Japan is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty before.

The Tokugawa shogunate on the Edo side was unclear, but I think there should be some elite troops. In the hands of daimyos from all over the country, only a small number of military forces can be fought, just like the servants and soldiers in the Ming army. At present, most of the Japanese military forces are similar to the Ming army and have no combat power. Although the Qing Dynasty had only 500 military forces in the past, it was invincible in small-scale wars and had no opponents at all.

In addition, Ying'erdai also specifically introduced that the people in Japan are generally short and a little frog in the well. A Qing warrior, who can deal with three Japanese soldiers, is more than enough as long as they do not form a formation to fight.

What the Japanese people could rely on was actually the firearms they used when attacking North Korea. There were very few cannons, mostly shotguns. The Qing Dynasty had enough experience in dealing with these, and they could deal with them whether they were using carriages or other things.

In addition to these, as a smart general, Ying'erdai did not only focus on military affairs. In his letter, he also introduced that Japan's land was barren and its output was not much. The Japanese people lived a hard life, and they didn't even have to wear pants. They were accustomed to just covering a fig leaf underneath and going out to work.

At present, in Japan, especially in relatively remote places, many people believe in foreign religions. Although they are not allowed by the Japanese government, they are showing signs of intensification. According to English-Ordei's estimates, there is likely to be a major chaos. The more chaotic the situation in Japan, the more beneficial it will be for the Qing Dynasty.

However, there are also good things in Japan. In the Satsuma clan, there is a mountain of gold. After the local government mined it, it was stopped by the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo.

At the end of the letter, Ying'erdai also reported an additional thing to the two masters. The Satsuma family sent 3,000 troops to invade and capture Ryukyu, and plunder more than 100 kings and ministers, including King Shangning, and returned. Later, Satsumaban forced King Shangning to admit that Ryukyu was a vassal state of Satsuma, and the king and ministers vowed to be loyal to the Shimazu clan forever. Subsequently, King Shangning and others were released and returned to Ryukyu. At present, although Ryukyu was nominally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually controlled by Satsumaban of Japan. It is estimated that it will be officially annexed in nominal future.

After reading it, Dorgon handed the letter to Duoduo, who had been unable to hold back, and then sat in the main seat and started to think.

For the Qing Dynasty, Japan was not as good as the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty was a huge country and was very difficult to fight. The Qing Dynasty was in trouble now, which is the best proof. If the Qing Dynasty could conquer Japan and treat Japan as the rear of the Qing Dynasty, it would not only replenish its troops, but also obtain enough materials in the future.

When Dorgon thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his hair and laugh: This matter seems a bit too big, he is not the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty! As for his two flags, if he could control the island closest to Korea, the materials produced on the island should be enough to consume!

He was thinking that Dodo had read it quickly, excitedly raised the thick stack of letters in his hand and said to Dorgon who was thinking: "This slave has already made it clear. I think it's OK to send another thousand elites over here. What a little bit of a Satsuma family, but if you don't believe it, you won't be able to accept it!"

Hearing the words, Dorgon raised his head, looked at Dodo and shook his head, "Don't forget that we still have the enemy of the Dongjiang Army. For now, North Korea is our root. I think we will send five or six hundred to make up for a thousand elites. With Ying'erd's ability, it should be possible!"

Dodo naturally listened to Dorgon, so the matter was decided. In Seoul, while transporting the two ships of grain, he began to mobilize troops and prepare to send them to Japan.

What the Dorgon brothers didn't know was that Huang Taiji had already cared about them, so soon the matter here was reported to Liaodong.
