609 Hoag's Straight Talk
In the central army tent, Matsuhira Nobutsu said seriously to Masashige Inoue: "The army was attacked by the Ming Navy and was already in a state of collapse. It is entirely up to Damufu's prestige and can shock the entire army to restore the current situation! If it is replaced by someone else, it will definitely take a long time to mess with you!"
After hearing this, Masashige Inoue knew what this meant, so he responded to Li and said seriously: "The old master is good at managing the army and responds well. Ming Dynasty only has a hundred thousand troops, but was so scared that he dared not go south by the old master's bluff. With the old master here, it is the decisive needle of my great Japanese, which will surely allow my great Japanese to gain a foothold in North Korea."
The two of them understood the meaning very clearly, which was to find the indispensable reasons for each other, and then support each other and report to the general. In this way, even if there is punishment, the crime will not die. In other words, if you make meritorious service, you will have the chance to turn things around.
Haoge, who was next to him, has been learning Japanese language hard for the sake of his future survival, and guessed it roughly.
Listening to them being flattered to each other, if they were the ones they used to, they would inevitably sarcastically. They had a great defeat and had the face to say this! But now life is difficult and it is rare to improve a little. Why bother telling the truth and making things difficult for yourself!
So he pretended not to hear it, or did not try to defend them, and just one ear went into the other. In his mind, he began to recall the good days of the past, which was also considered to be a memory of the bitterness and sweetness!
However, Matsuhira Nobutsu and Inoue Masashige are still praising each other, mainly finding the advantages that can make Tokugawa Iemitsu reluctant to replace them, allowing them to continue to shine for the general.
However, this is the situation now. Not only did the loss of 50,000 or 60,000 troops, the remaining army and civilians were all in pain and were almost living a primitive life. No matter how they said it, it would be impossible for them to say that the situation was very good.
Therefore, after just a while, the two of them fell silent, and were speechless, and could not find the other party's advantages.
After silence for a while, Inoue Shigemasa reluctantly smiled and said, "In fact, it is already rare to maintain the current situation. As long as the Ming army can be scared and they dare not go south, as long as the general sends reinforcements and defeats the Ming Navy, then North Korea will still be our great Japanese country, and the strategic goals set by the original plan can still be achieved!"
"Yes, no matter what, as long as we can achieve the strategic goals we set at the beginning, even if it is just the first step, it will be a big step than ever before." Nobunaga Matsuhei agreed with this, "I believe that the general's prestige will definitely surpass the past, and the price he paid before will be accepted!"
Shigemasa Inoue nodded repeatedly when he heard this, that's the reason.
In this way, it is very important whether we can defend the southern end of the Korean Peninsula until the general sends reinforcements to defeat the Ming Navy and restore support for North Korea.
Thinking of this, Matsuhira Nobuzu turned his head and looked at Haoge, who was lowering his head. Suddenly, he found that Haoge seemed to be drooling. What is the situation?
However, what he was concerned about was not the drooling matter of Haoge, but his own major matter. Therefore, he pretended to be invisible and instead asked Haoge in the Ming Dynasty Mandarin language: "Now I have sent troops to make great contributions in the Seoul area. Do you think the Ming army will go south this year?"
When Haoge heard the question, he came to his senses from the big chunks of meat and drinks in the past. He found that the corners of his mouth seemed to have drooled. He quickly wiped the back of his hand and replied respectfully: "What are you most afraid of?"
"..." Matsuhira Nobutsu couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this. He thought a little bit in his heart and replied: "The most fear is that the Ming army will go south to a large scale before the Great Japanese defeated the Ming Navy. If such a thing really happens, the Japanese army in North Korea will have no other possibility except for the whole jade-breaking!"
After hearing this, Haoge said without hesitation: "The Ming army will definitely go south before the Great Japanese defeated the Ming Navy."
"..." Nobunaga Matsuhira couldn't help feeling upset when he heard this.
When Masato Inoue was at the side, his face suddenly became ugly. He had always had a bad impression of Haoge. Just on weekdays, he was condescending to monitor other daimyos. Now every time he wanted to talk to these Qing people, he would have to raise his head and be looked down upon, which made him a little untolerant.
Just when Masashige Inoue was about to get angry, he heard Haoge come and say, "And it is not certain whether the Great Japanese can defeat the Ming Navy."
What I said before made Matsuhira Nobutsu feel upset. When he heard this, he was a little annoyed. What does this mean? To increase the ambition of others and destroy his own majesty?
So he immediately shouted: "Where are you standing on and talking?"
Haoge did not regret saying this because he knew that only when he told the truth and was proven to be right can he have the value of continuing to exist, and this old and middle-aged man will continue to value him.
Therefore, when he heard the question, Haoge was not afraid and immediately replied: "Mr. Lao Zhong, I am not standing on the side of the way, but telling the truth. If Lao Zhong Zhong wants to listen to good words, please forgive me. I love Xin Jueluo Haoge and I will definitely not tell lies!"
"What a courage!" Masashige Inoue heard that he cursed the Great Japanese country so much that he could not defeat Ming Dynasty. He was furious and jumped up and shouted, "Baga!"
While speaking, he also held the samurai sword around his waist, and the next second he would pull out the knife to chop people.
Seeing this, Haoge couldn't help but be shocked.
Fortunately, Matsuhira Nobuzuo hurriedly reached out and held Masashiki Inoue's hand, then tried hard to calm down and asked, "Tell me your reason!"
After relieving God, Haoge couldn't help but think in his heart: "You little guy, you have the ability to fight one by one. Can I choose three like you? Do you believe it?"
Of course, this can only be said in words. On the surface, he quickly pretended to be devoted to the great Japanese thinking and answered Matsupi Nobuka, "Old Master, my Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have been fighting for decades, so don't be too familiar with the Ming army. Why is the Ming army so powerful? It is because they attack the most uncomfortable part of our Qing army every time. The less they don't think about it, the more they will be. Although the Ming emperor is treacherous, he still has the ability. He often plans and then moves, and will not fight unsure of wars."
After introducing his experience, he took out his military literacy to analyze the situation and said: "Since the Ming Dynasty Emperor sent the Ming Dynasty naval commander and unexpectedly attacked the Great Japanese naval commander and then cut off the Korean Strait, it is natural that he would not be able to guard against the Great Japanese reinforcements. If you are not sure, would you continue to let the Navy stay on this sea and wait for the Great Japanese naval commander to destroy them?"
When he asked, Matsuhira Nobutsu's face turned pale, and Masashiki Inoue's face became ugly.
Haoge saw the expressions of the two of them for some reason, especially when he saw Masashige Inoue's ugly face, he felt as if he had eaten a piece of fat meat. So he said again: "Old Master, you have to prevent the worst case against Mingguo, so that you can fight Mingguo. If you are lucky, you will definitely suffer a great loss!"
This is indeed his heartfelt words.
After hearing this, Nobuzumatsu couldn't help but look ahead, but turned a blind eye, just muttering to himself: "You can't be lucky, you can't be lucky..."
After saying this for a while, he suddenly raised his head and quickly said to Haoge: "I will tell you about the deployment of troops in the Seoul area. Come and help me to summarize and see if I can deceive the Ming army and prevent them from going south?"
Speaking of this, he told Haoge about the detailed deployment of troops. Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, could not help but feel regretful when he saw this information. He failed to lead troops to fight on the front line, otherwise, the information would have been very useful. Now it is a pity that even if Fei Ge sent a letter to Lu Xiangsheng, it would not be possible to notify Li Dingguo in time.
Besides, after listening to Matsuhira Nobusuo's introduction, Haoge really had to think about it himself. He felt that if he didn't know the situation of the Japanese army, he would have been deceived. But he immediately remembered that his current opponent was the Ming army!
So he shook his head and said flatly: "This deployment may be useful to ordinary people. But it may be useless to the Ming army, especially the army led by Lu Xiangsheng. You don't know that Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty. He was a Jinshi, but he liked to fight on the battlefield or to go on the battlefield in person. I have fought this person before, very brave, and he is completely fearless of death when fighting. It's a pity that he almost destroyed in that battle and was saved by my pig teammates."
What he said was that in the battle of Jiajiazhuang, if Dorgon had not given him the death order, he would have been sure that Lu Xiangsheng would have been destroyed in the battle. In this way, there would be no more things to come.
Thinking about it now, it’s all a pity!
Thinking of this, Haoge rarely sighed after finishing his words.
Nobuzumatsu was surprised to hear this. He was so brave, he might not be scared by his bluff deployment. So what should I do? The Japanese army here is not in a state of being able to fight at the moment!
When Inoue Shigemasa heard that Haoge was just blindly increasing the morale of Ming Dynasty and destroying his own prestige, he couldn't help but get angry again. This time, he did not draw his sword, but pointed at Haoge's nose and cursed: "Do you dare to exaggerate? Do you believe it or not to kill you with one knife? In another two months, the weather will turn cold, and the Ming army will not go south even more. Remember, if the Ming army did not go south this year, you would not live next year!"
