A few days later, the army of expedition led by Matsudai Nobuka arrived at the ruins of Seoul as scheduled. The reason for this was that not only was there a marching route discovered by scouts in the early stage, but there was basically no war along the way. Even if they encountered Koreans who were active, they would flee and did not dare to fight with the Japanese army at all, and did not delay our army's itinerary at all.

He was very satisfied with this. He kept "kowing" along the way. Even if Fan Wencheng didn't talk to him, he didn't understand what he usually whispered in Japanese, he could feel his mood.

Standing on the top of Seoul, looking around, looking at the grain fields in the distance, and being able to use them with a little tidy up, he was even more satisfied.

Seeing Matsupi Nobuka pointed at him and said something to his leader in Japanese, for some reason, Fan Wencheng felt a little quiet. Suddenly, he felt that it was necessary to learn Japanese. Whether it was to prevent the Qing Dynasty from being lucky, to hold on to the thighs of Japan, or as a representative of the Qing Dynasty, it was necessary to deal with Japan for a long time.

Thinking of this, he took an opportunity, smiled and praised Matsuhira Nobutsu, "I didn't expect that your army would arrive in Seoul so quickly. It's really gratifying!"

People carry people in the flower sedan chair. No matter what, it is always right to give a bunch of flatteries as opening remarks.

However, Matsuhira Nobuzu looked up at him, then turned his head to look at Hanjiang again. Although he still had a smile, his words were gone and said: "There are almost no Koreans along the way, let alone people. In this way, how can you talk about destroying Gula?"

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that he would not flatter him. However, he was also thick-skinned and immediately threw this embarrassment behind him. He immediately replied according to Matsukai's meaning: "To be honest, this North Korea has been swept back and forth by the Qing Dynasty many times, so naturally there are no Koreans. As for the Ming people, they were restrained by the Qing Dynasty and had no extra troops to station in North Korea. This time, there must be no problem for your army to steadily stalwart North Korea!"

This time, Matsuhira Nobutsu nodded, all of this was the same as expected. Thinking of this, he said happily again: "Wen Chengjun, look at how many farmers need to reclaim these grain fields here, which is enough for the army's food?"

When Fan Wencheng heard him consulting him, he was happy and quickly used all his skills to analyze Matsubishi's Nobuka from all aspects and finally concluded that it would be as much as possible to have a manpower. He understood that Japanese farmers naturally could not come to North Korea at all. If they could get the minimum number of people, Japan would also make arrangements. Therefore, it is possible to make the estimate of the number of people as accurate as possible.

After answering, Fan Wencheng said with congratulations: "The land around Seoul is fertile, and after the grain fields are reclaimed, it must be enough for the army to need. By the way, there are also many grain fields with fertile land to Pyongyang. These are all unbordered lands. As long as your country uses it, not to mention a 100,000 army, it is only 200,000 or 300,000 army. I believe there is no problem."

Nobuzumatsuhira smiled and said, wasn’t this what he and the general were looking forward to?

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, a leader of the Japanese army rushed from the ruins in the city, holding something in his hand. This situation was a bit abnormal, and it attracted his attention and stopped talking.

Fan Wencheng also saw it and was a little curious about what the leader of the Japanese army discovered in the city. Generally speaking, this Seoul has been swept back and forth by the Qing army many times, so there should be nothing important or valuable?

The Japanese leader soon got up to the city and panted to Matsuhira Nobuka, "Sir, I found this in the city!"

After saying that, he presented a long wooden sign with both hands, and it could be seen that one end was inserted into the soil.

Matsukai Nobuka took it curiously and frowned. Fan Wencheng next to him saw it and stretched his neck slightly and looked at it. He saw that the wooden sign in his hand had Chinese characters written on it: The Han County Government Office of the Ming Dynasty, located on the fifth day of the 12th month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty.

"What's going on?" Matsupi Nobuka asked Fan Wencheng a little unhappy, "Didn't you say that North Korea is a homeless land? Why has it become a province of Ming Dynasty?"

Although the Japanese decided to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, if they could start the battle later, it would be better to start the battle later.

If North Korea is a land of unlimited land, with the Japanese understanding of the Central Plains dynasty, even if they want to send troops, the ministers in the court would argue first, and finally send troops, it would have been delayed for a long time. However, once North Korea becomes a province of the Ming Dynasty, when the Japanese army appears, there will inevitably be only one opinion in the Ming Dynasty court, at least it must be unified than before. This situation is not what the Japanese army wants to see!

Fan Wencheng himself was also curious and couldn't help but say with some confusion: "Is this brand a trick played by the North Koreans here, and I want to scare your army away with this?"

Seeing Matsudai Nobutsu seem a little unhappy when he heard this, he quickly added: "The villain is just analyzing based on facts. After all, when the Japanese army attacked North Korea, it was repelled by the Ming Dynasty. Those remaining Koreans are definitely unwilling to your army to occupy North Korea, so they will probably think of this intimidation strategy naturally. However, the villain believes that the adults will not care about it at all. The bad idea of ​​the Koreans is useless at all."

This is also reasonable and well-founded. Matsudai Nobutsu nodded after hearing this, but he frowned and ordered his subordinates: "Search immediately within a hundred miles to see if there are any traces of Ming people. If you catch a North Korean, you will also torture them. Ask for some information about Ming people. Look at this sign, is it the Ming people established or the North Koreans are doing it!"

"Hi!" His subordinates agreed and went to work hard.

Then Matsupita Nobutsu sent another order, and the army began to camp and rest and no longer head north. First, it was necessary to stabilize the rule here and drive out the annoying Korean monkeys from the mountains. Otherwise, when he would jump out and threaten the rear of the army, it would not be what he wanted to see.

In addition, the army's grain must be transported from the Han River to Seoul along the coast. If it is transported by land alone with the army, the grain will consume too much.

Two days later, in addition to some Japanese troops starting to search and suppress the Koreans, some Japanese troops began to clean up grain fields.

These Japanese soldiers were from farmers before joining the army. Relatively speaking, fiddling with the fields was their job. For a moment, the Japanese were working around Seoul, and they were very enthusiastic.

Seeing all this, Matsupi Nobuzu didn't care about the hidden worries brought by the wooden sign. So what if Mingguo knew that he occupied North Korea? They were restrained by the Qing Dynasty, how many troops could they divide into North Korea, and they would still have to go to Seoul? When they really came here, they had already prepared themselves and had a stable foothold. By that time, Mingguo came from afar and wanted to fight!

At this moment, suddenly, Matsuhira Nobuzuo saw a fast rider racing from the south again, with the speed, running desperately, and you could tell at a glance that there was something urgent.

What will happen behind us? When Matsudai Nobutsu saw it, he couldn't help but frown. If it was not convenient to destroy the Koreans, it seemed that there was no need to be in such a hurry.

After waiting patiently for a while, after seeing the person clearly, Matsuhira Nobutsu couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Isn't this a gift to the Qing Dynasty? Why did you come here?"

Because it is related to the Qing Dynasty, he said this in the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he immediately felt a bad feeling. However, if you think about it carefully, you feel it makes no sense!

In order to prevent the Ming army from making trouble, when discussing this batch of grain, it was far away from the Sea of ​​Essay. The Ming army's activities were at most Zhenjiang Fort. What's more, since the Geng Zhongming incident, the focus of the Ming country has shifted to Gaizhou and Haizhou. Not to mention Zhenjiang Fort, even near Jinzhou, the Ming army's activities have been less.

So, Fan Wencheng ruled out the possibility of the Ming army causing trouble, and frowned and asked Matsupita Nobuka, "Can it be that I have encountered storms, so I can't deliver food?"

Thinking of this, he felt it was reasonable and added reasoning: "So the Qing Dynasty did not receive food, so the war was in a hurry?"

Hearing this, Matsuhira Nobuzu remembered the anxious look of Ying'erdai a few days ago, and couldn't help but believe it a little.

So he frowned. If this is the case, the pressure on the Qing Dynasty would be great. Then, Japan would still have to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight? I am afraid that it is not the tiger fight, but the tiger bullying the sick cat!

Just as they were guessing, the speeding leader had already arrived in front of Matsuhira Nobuka and reported panting.

Fan Wencheng was watching. Although he couldn't understand, he saw Matsuhira Nobuzu's face suddenly changed, and he quickly communicated with the man, including the Japanese around him, with ugly faces. Suddenly, Fan Wencheng's feeling of badness just now appeared again.

Before he could think of anything, he suddenly saw Matsuhira Nobutsu staring at him and shouting with a hideous expression: "What is the combat power of the Qing Dynasty? Didn't it mean that he was invincible in Liaodong and invincible in field battles, and the Ming army almost lost even the capital?"

As soon as he heard this, Fan Wencheng understood that his intuition was not wrong, it was really related to Mingjun!

But, as a result, he couldn't figure out what happened to the Ming army? There were traces of them?

So he asked quickly, "What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

"What food is handed over to you from the Qing Dynasty? Prince Shuosu, but as soon as the fleet left, he saw the Ming cavalry coming out with his own eyes. It was like destroying Gula, and the Qing army was wiped out!" When Matsupi Nobuka said this, he felt a little panicked, and asked Fan Wencheng even more fiercely, "Speak, what's going on? Why is this happening? The Qing Dynasty wouldn't have cheated my general, right?"
