In his letter to Zhou Xian, Lin Qingye was the most supporter of the war with the Satsuma clan. But when the war was really about to begin, he became worried.

During the Wanli period, the Japanese army invaded Korea, and within one month, seven of the eight-way lands fell into Korea. Of course, Japan had just experienced the chaotic Warring States Period, with strong soldiers and extremely good soldiers, which was definitely not comparable to the current Japanese army. Moreover, the invasion of North Korea was basically the national military force of Japan. At this moment, there were only a few Kyushu Island vassals, mainly the Satsuma vassal. But if it could not win in a short period of time, the development of the situation would be difficult to predict.

The Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan, local vassals, Dutch, Li Fei from the north of North Korea, and the Qing army led by Luke Dehun. Whether the first battle can be fought well and won will directly affect the subsequent battle situation. The main battlefield of this battle is in North Korea. The longer it lasts, the greater the disaster it brings.

Although Lin Qingye is now in charge of the general of the Ming Dynasty, he is a Korean after all, so of course he does not want North Korea to fall into full war. But relying solely on his troops, there is no possibility of blocking the Japanese army. After all, what he has to face is tens of thousands of troops, including the 8,000 Qing army and the main force of the Satsuma vassal.

Cui Mingji understood his concerns, but at this moment he could only sigh silently in his heart. When he was the left-wing political party in North Korea, he always sought to keep North Korea neutral between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty to maintain its own interests to the greatest extent. Unfortunately, Zhou Xian's appearance broke his efforts.

At present, North Korea is divided into two, with Qing troops stationed in the north and Ming troops stationed in the south. At this moment, the Satsuma clan is eyeing it, and the direction can no longer be safe. He is both sad and helpless, but he knows that in any case, it is better for the Koreans than the Japanese rule over North Korea.

Therefore, he firmly stood on Lin Qingye's side this time. During this period, the ships around Tsushima Island were frequently mobilized, and there were signs of war in the future. "The Japanese have never believed in their trust, so it is not surprising that they do so. At present, we can only make all preparations for the battle and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Lin Qingye shook his head, "The Ming Dynasty is in chaos at present, and the reinforcements that the commander can provide are only Han Kuo's troops in the Zhoushan Islands. At this time, there were 8,000 Qing troops and nearly 20,000 Japanese troops on Tsushima Island, and the number is still increasing. If reinforcements cannot arrive in time, it may be difficult to resist by our own efforts."

Seeing that Lin Qingye's words seemed to be reserved, Cui Mingji said: "General Lin, what do you want Cui to do? Just say that Cui will do it."

Lin Qingye nodded, "The Japanese are as cunning as jackals, as cruel as wolves, and bloodthirsty as they are. I think you will move all the people around Busan to the north of Daegu. Even if you can't defend here, they will suffer less from military disasters."

Cui Mingji was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a while, she sighed. "I understand." It seems that Lin Qingye did not keep his confidence in Busan.

Li Xiong walked on the Shanghai Cliff under the guidance of a soldier. He clasped his fists and said, "General Lin, Lord Cui."

Lin Qingye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Thank you all the way, Shoujie Li. But reinforcements have arrived?"

Li Xiong replied: "I took a boat to the east of Jeju Island and met ten pirate ships led by the vanguard General Wang Chaoxian. He told me that the Korean general had all the troops from Zhoushan to rescue North Korea. Among them were five new three-masted warships, ten large pirate ships, eighteen clutches, and twelve troop transport ships. In addition, there were two three-masted warships of the Grapes. At present, the main army is only one day away from Jeju Island, and three days are enough to get here."

Cui Mingji asked, "How many soldiers are there?"

Li Xiong said: "There are eight thousand water soldiers, ten thousand infantry soldiers, and thousands of sailors and strong men."

Cui Mingji shouted "Hao" and the number of people was far beyond his imagination.

Lin Qingye showed a rare smile on his face, "So, Japanese, Qing army, why are you afraid of coming!"

At this time, Li Xiong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Qingye and said, "General Lin, this is the combat plan proposed by Deputy General Gao. General Han has agreed and will listen to your opinions in the end."

After seeing this, Lin Qingye's expression suddenly changed, "What? They asked me to gradually withdraw the Korean army to Shangzhou or even Chungju after the war started? There is a place where they will concentrate their efforts to fight against the Japanese army." At present, Lin Qingye occupies about four of the eight lands of North Korea, but this plan made him give up half of the land he occupied. No wonder he was surprised.

Lee Xiong said: "Deputy General Gao and the Korean general believed that our army's enemies are only the Qing army on Tsuma Island and a few Japanese vassals with the Satsuma Island as the main force. If it is delayed for a long time, the attitudes of the Tokugawa shogunate and other vassals may change. The best way is to directly attack Kagoshima, the old nest of the Satsuma State, and win in the shortest time. The first thing to do is to lead them ashore and trap the main force of the Satsuma State in North Korea. Wang Guerrilla said that the ten pirate ships he led will cooperate with the fleet in Busan to attack with all their strength to restrain the enemy on Tsuma Island. If the plan is successful, as long as you can persist for ten days, the situation will be completely reversed."

Lin Qingye frowned and read the letter carefully, thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "Let me think about it again."

In the evening, Lin Qingye finally agreed to the matter, and Li Xiong set out again to inform Han Kuo.

Gansu, Qinzhou (today's water).

Cao Bianjiao left angrily. After he escaped from Xi'an, he walked all the way northwest. In Gansu, he met Sun Shoufa, who had served under his uncle, and Wu Dading, a general under He Renlong. They were all from Shaanxi and had a certain influence in the local area.

When Sun Chuanting left Tongguan to Henan, they did not follow. When Li Zicheng's troops surrounded Xi'an, they did not send troops to rescue him. But when Cao Bianjiao fled to the local area, they took the initiative to greet him and said they were willing to obey his command. Although Cao Bianjiao's reputation for fighting was good, Li Zicheng might threaten their own forces.

After continuous battles, Cao Bianjiao only had hundreds of cavalry left, while Wu Dading and Sun Shoufa had thousands of soldiers. At this time, how could the two of them be willing to obey Cao Bianjiao's orders in everything? Moreover, Yuan Zongzhi, who was left in Shaanxi, sent people to contact the two, trying to convince them to surrender to the rebel army.

At this moment, Li Zicheng led the main army to the capital, and the troops left in Shaanxi were only 50,000. Cao Bianjiao wanted to take this opportunity to counterattack to recover Xi'an, or go directly to rescue the capital.
