586 rainy season

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked him, "Lu Qing, but is there a problem with this tea?"

When he heard this, Lan Tianbao, who was serving the eunuchs next to him, were all shocked.

The emperor had a problem with tea drinking. The seriousness of this matter can be imagined!

Fortunately, after hearing this question, Lu Xiangsheng immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I am worried about this rainy day, and it is not about this tea."

Speaking of this, seeing the nervous look of Lan Tianbao and other eunuchs, he added: "Your Majesty's imperial tea is naturally top-notch."

Hearing this, Lan Tianbao and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were almost scared to death just now!

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about the reaction brought by this sentence at all. His attention had shifted to the weather, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng, "What are Lu Qing worried about this rainy day?"

He had already said before that the Japanese army mainly use bird guns, and they all come from combroach guns. Therefore, if it is rainy, basically no long spear is useful. It will be very beneficial for the Ming army to eliminate Japan. After all, not to mention anything else, the height and weight of both sides alone are not of the same level.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it shouldn’t be a good thing to rain now?

"Your Majesty, I see that the rain is quite heavy, and there is no sign of rain stopping." Speaking of serious matters, even if Lu Xiangsheng is already a Liaodong Nei, he did not dare to sit in the seat given by the emperor, but stood up and said respectfully, "I have been in Liaodong and North Korea for several years. If I remember correctly, this kind of rain will be continuous, which will often cause the rivers in North Korea to soar and the roads are muddy. In this way, it will be quite difficult for the army to pursue the Japanese army."

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen had never thought about this aspect. When he heard this, he immediately became serious.

The Yalu River is more than 300 miles away from Pyongyang. If it rains continuously and the road is difficult to walk, even if the cavalry enters North Korea to attack the Japanese army, there will probably be much more non-combat reductions than combat reductions.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Xiangsheng continued to think about this issue seriously, and then continued to say: "Even if the heavy rain has just fallen, if the cavalry goes to fight, he may be able to catch up with the Japanese army. But if the rain keeps falling, what should I do if the cavalry wins? The cavalry will definitely not carry too much food and grass. Even if we can persist until the war is victorious, how can we return to Liaodong? These things, not to mention the danger of the road being blocked by the skyrocketing rivers!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to him seriously: "Lu Qing is concerned that this must be considered!"

During the Little Ice River period, there was always flooding in the south and drought in the north. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen led troops to fight in the north and did not experience the continuous heavy rainstorms that affected the war. In North Korea, the climate may be affected by the oceans on both sides of the Korean Peninsula. This rainy season may lead to waterlogging.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong seized a lot of food from the Japanese army. If he had these food supplies, he would not have to worry about the food and grass problems of the soldiers going to fight. However, from the eavesdropping system, Emperor Chongzhen knew that in addition to sending people back to report the news, Zheng Zhilong continued to go to Jeju Island in a mighty manner according to his original intention with the seized food. In this way, he could not count on the food from Zheng Zhilong.

"It's really inconvenient to have no phone number!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but mutter in his heart when he thought of this.

Continuous rain will also have an impact on the pigeons. The most important thing is that the pigeons send messages to the pigeons, which means that they can fly back to the nest no matter how far they take. If Zheng Zhilong is on Pi Island, he can still communicate through pigeons. As long as Emperor Chongzhen has pigeons raised by Pi Island here, it will be possible. However, Zheng Zhilong is on the sea and is heading to Jeju Island. It is impossible for a pigeon to really know Zheng Zhilong and fly to his place.

After measuring his mind, Emperor Chongzhen asked Lu Xiangsheng: "How should we do the next battle between Lu Qing?"

"Your Majesty, I think I can wait a few days to see if the rain is likely to stop!" Lu Xiangsheng obviously had a vain, so he immediately replied, "If it stops, it means that I am too worried and can send cavalry to pursue it. If the rain continues, it is better to wait until the rain in North Korea has passed before launching an offensive!"

Emperor Chongzhen told him about the situation on the Japanese army, so he understood it. If the emperor was not here, he would have led the Dongjiang Army to guard the place, he might have led the army to chase him. But at this time, based on Emperor Chongzhen's personality preferences, he finally gave a safe suggestion.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and said, "You are right, so I naturally put soldiers first. As for my enemies, if you can run away, monks can't run away, I will deal with them sooner or later."

Zheng Zhilong's move has been played. Even if he doesn't chase him here, he will not be able to think about the Japanese army in Korea. Emperor Chongzhen thought so and sneered in his heart: Even if these Japanese army eventually run back to Japan? As long as I want him to die, it will be useless even if he runs to the American continent!

So, in the next few days, although the generals came to ask for battle, because as the emperor said, it was already raining now. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree.

At this time, he only cared about two things, one was whether God would do it according to his wishes, and the other was the movements of the Japanese army in Pyongyang.

As a result, three days later, the rain still did not stop at all. The rivers soared, and the nights that were spread in North Korea were not collected, and it was also rewarded, saying that some roads were washed away by floods. In addition, the Japanese army in Pyongyang could not wait for the rain to stop. Because the food and grass were difficult to continue, they were forced to retreat south in the rain and became further and further away from the Yalu River.

Together these two reasons, Emperor Chongzhen decided not to wait anymore. To explain the situation, he left Lu Xiangsheng to lead 10,000 troops to guard the Yalu River area in case the possible Japanese army suddenly headed north again, which would have an impact on Hong Chengchou's restoration of Liaodong.

Then, he led the remaining army back to Beijing.

At this point, the series of wars in the Ming Dynasty's restoration of Liaodong finally came to an end.

Since the 11th year of Wanli, the Jianlu Rebellion in Liaodong, which lasted for 62 years, was finally suppressed by the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen led his troops back to the capital, the Japanese army also retreated south.

However, it is rainy season on the Korean Peninsula. Under heavy rain, the Japanese army retreated to the south and naturally suffered a great impact. Not only is the roads along the way, but they are often blocked by floods. If the army had sufficient food and grass, maybe Matsupita Nobuka would choose a place to camp and wait for the rainy season to pass.

However, the Japanese army lacked food and grass. If they stayed in a place and didn’t leave, they would know when the rain would fall, and they would starve to death without eating!

So, the Japanese army retreated south, and it was really a matter of Tang Monk's pursuit of scriptures, and it had to go through eighty-one difficulties.

Those who were sick and died, washed away by the flood, and left behind, all kinds of situations were found. At the beginning, the 100,000 Japanese troops returned to Seoul after they had worked hard to return to Seoul, only less than 60,000 were reached.

Faced with such a result, Matsuhira Nobutsu was in tears.

In this Seoul, there was still insufficient food and grass. Moreover, after the Japanese army came to North Korea, they did not fight once. At least the army did not fight once, and they only conducted a long-distance training and march, which resulted in a loss of almost half of their troops. The morale attack on the Japanese army can be said to be very large.

In this state, the Japanese army could no longer fight. Matsuhira Nobutsu was able to maintain the army without chaos and maintain the establishment, which was already a good reputation for "Smart Izu".

Seeing this situation in the army, Matsudai Nobutsu was afraid that the Ming army on the Yalu River would chase after him, so he didn't even dare to stay in Seoul anymore. After a little rest, he began to retreat south. At the same time, he asked someone to report to Japan and report the situation to Tokugawa Iemitsu. He obtained Tokugawa Iemitsu's permission and asked him to withdraw his troops from North Korea.

…………

The rainy season on Zheng Zhilong also had an impact on him. Although he sailed by the sea, sometimes the waves were too big and he could only stay on the shore. Just like that, I walked around and stopped, and it took me longer than I imagined to arrive at Jeju Island.

Or maybe it was raining and tired, Zheng Zhilong finally arrived at Jeju Island on a sunny day.

It is rare to have a sunny day. The Korean people on Jeju Island are no. Now they are already the people of the Ming Dynasty. Many of them are preparing to go out to sea to fish. There are even more people on the beach. If you stay in the house, you will get moldy. No one wants to stay in the house, and if you have money, you won’t be happy to stay in the house.

The appearance of the navy under Zheng Zhilong immediately detonated the entire Jeju Island. At least at the port where he landed, it was really crowded. Almost all the Ming people nearby threw down their work and rushed to the port to see the fun.

Lin Qingye also rushed over after hearing the news. Looking at the Ming Navy who was already very close to the sea, the vast and extremely powerful and almost impossible to see the situation of many ships. He knew that what the Ming Emperor told him should be about to start.

This means that the Ming Dynasty should have solved the Jianlu of Liaodong.

Thinking that the extremely powerful Jianlu might have been solved by the Ming Dynasty, Lin Qingye couldn't wait to see the navy commander to ask about the situation.

To be honest, his greatest wish in his life was to be a Ming person, to watch Jianlu destruction!

However, he was a Korean at least and had a lot of dealing with Japanese people. While waiting anxiously, Lin Qingye suddenly discovered that there seemed to be several Japanese ships in the Ming army. Others might not be able to see it, but he could tell the difference between the Ming warships and Japanese ships.

As a result, another doubt emerged: What is the situation?

He could not guess the truth of the matter, so he could only wait and ask.

Seeing the grand occasion on the shore, Zheng Zhilong's flagship was the first to dock under the escort of two warships.

Lin Qingye had dealt with Zheng Zhilong and recognized his flagship, so he gave up his eagerness to catch a Ming army soldier and asked about the situation. He immediately sorted out his appearance, and then hurriedly greeted Zheng Zhilong on the flagship with his subordinates.
