Two months ago, Gao Huan received information from Matsuhira Kama and learned that Hong Chengchou was on an envoy to Edo. The Qing court invited Japan to send troops to quell the uprising in Korea.

After seeing this information, Gao Huan changed his strategy and broke out in Changsha with Zhang Xianzhong in advance, and wrote to North Korea to guard against Japanese soldiers to land.

Since then, Gao Huan has been using military forces against Western countries, but he is very concerned about the situation in North Korea.

Recently, Gao Huan has received news from the North Korean side that the Japanese soldiers landed in North Korea at the end of October. The Korean rebels suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Qing army and the Japanese soldiers, and lost Seoul in less than a month.

The Warring States Period of Japan did not end for too long. Unlike North Korea, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers was still there. Even if the Koreans were reminded, they were still no match for the Japanese soldiers.

After the Tokugawa army landed in North Korea, it quickly swept across the Korean Peninsula, leaving the Korean rebels unable to fight back and quickly lost all the big cities.

After Gao Huan learned the news, he ordered the North Korean rebels to give up the city and go to the mountains to fight guerrillas, and quickly printed a number of books such as "Guerrilla Warfare" and sent to North Korea as the guiding ideology for the North Korean rebels' operations, hoping to be helpful to them.

Now the Qing army and the Japanese soldiers have basically controlled North Korea, and the next step is very likely to remove the Qian army's stronghold in Liaodong.

Therefore, when Gao Huan heard that another military newspaper was sent from Denglai, it was probably the news that the Qing army and the Japanese soldiers jointly attacked Lushun.

This made Gao Huan a little annoyed. Hong Chengchou sold out national interests in order to win, and there was no bottom line.

However, Gao Huan was prepared in Lushun. The Qian army had a bastion, fortress, and warehouse in Lushun. It was surrounded by the sea on three sides. Reinforcements and materials could arrive in Lushun continuously through the sea route. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Qing army, it would be difficult to easily capture it.

Gao Huan sat back on his seat and said relaxedly: "Take the military newspaper over and let me see it!"

Yang Yan quickly submitted the report, Gao Huan took it, opened it casually, took out the report to watch, and immediately frowned.

The military newspaper was not written by North Korea and Lushun, but was reported by Shen Tingyang, the governor of Denglai.

When the Qian Army Navy transported troops to Lushun, it encountered the West-Holland joint fleet. The two sides fought fiercely in the Yellow Sea. The Qian Army Navy was intercepted and forced to withdraw to Denglai. The plan to transport troops to Lushun failed.

The content of the military newspaper is relatively simple, but it reveals a lot of important information.

The appearance of the Xihe Fleet in the Yellow Sea shows that the maritime connection between the Qian army and Lushun may have been cut off by the enemy.

Gao Huan didn't care at first, but after reading the information, he frowned.

Judging from the intelligence, the Qing army should know the difficulty of attacking Lushun, so they invited the Xihe Fleet to cut off the sea supplies from Lushun and then deal with the Lushun defenders.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Song Xiance couldn't help but ask when he saw Gao Huan's expression was not kind.

Gao Huan put down his intelligence and said in a deep voice: "The Qing army has begun to attack Lushun!"

When Song Xiance heard the words, he said in confusion: "The court stationed heavy troops in Lushun, and Shandong's reinforcements and material resources were continuously sent to Lushun. No matter how many Qing troops came, it would be useless!"

Gao Huan said: "If there were only the Qing army, there was no need to worry. But this time the enemy came not only the Qing army, but also the troops from Japan, Spain and the Netherlands!"

This time the enemy came in groups. Although Gao Huan was not afraid, he felt a little tired.

Even if the Qian Dynasty is strong, a country will inevitably lose sight of one thing when it comes to dealing with so many countries.

Now Gao Huan really hopes that Dagan Chao can have a few powerful brothers who can respond with one call and start a group at any time, otherwise it would be a bit of a big deal to deal with so many enemies.

Even if this is not said, it is just a waste of energy to fight them.

For a huge empire, it is easiest to deal with a single enemy, and it is a bit troublesome for many enemies.

Although these enemies may not necessarily have the strength of Gan Chao, they act flexibly, unlike the old empire, which is not very convenient to move.

Now the younger brothers who are in the court are too bad. Luzon is in Southeast Asia, and others are nominally surrendered. They can pay tribute every year, but it is obvious that they can fight for the court.

When Song Xiance and others heard the words, they didn't expect that so many enemies would come and they couldn't help but frown.

Everyone has long learned about the situation in North Korea, but they all have an irrelevant attitude. After all, they are not fighting against North Korea. No matter what they fight in North Korea, they cannot threaten fighting against North Korea.

Now that the enemy has begun to attack Lushun, it may even threaten Shandong, the situation will be different.

"Your Majesty, now is the critical moment to attack the Western Kingdom. You can't give up halfway because of the Liaodong incident!" Song Xiance said.

Gao Huan had a calm face. This time he finally defeated the main force of the Western Army and had the opportunity to wipe out the Western country in one fell swoop, so he really couldn't give up halfway.

Gao Huan clenched his fists, "Although the Western Army was defeated, its remaining troops retreated to Yunnan and Guizhou, intending to resist stubbornly, and Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts are still unknown. If he does not seize Zhang Xianzhong and eliminate the remnants of the Western Army, he will give the Western Army a chance to breathe off. I will take another effort to attack and destroy the Western Army in the future."

Gao Huan recognized Song Xiance's words and should pursue the defeated enemy with courage, and should not seek fame and learn from the overlord.

The Western Kingdom was about to finish the game, and the Southwest could not give up halfway because of the changes in the situation in the Northeast. However, the Qing, Japanese, Western and Dutch countries united, which really made Gao Huan a little worried.

If the Western world wants to rule the world, it must dismember and colonize the main civilizations of Eurasia. Only by completely defeating China, India, Arabia, and a Tsarist Russia, and creating chaos in the Eurasia, can they rampant the world.

There may not be a systematic theory in the West yet, but they have already started to do this subconsciously, and their strategy has indeed worked later.

At this time, Gao Huan did not want to give up the great cause of completely destroying the West because of the Liaodong incident. However, the Western Kingdom was a big country after all. Although it suffered a crushing defeat, it was not possible to completely eliminate it in a short time.

According to the current progress, it will probably take at least five or six months to capture Yunnan and Guizhou. It will take even longer to completely eliminate the remnants of the Western Army.

At this time, Gao Huan couldn't help but ponder, and at this moment, another person hurried into the festival hall.

"Good news from Your Majesty." Xia Wanchun walked in with a smile on his face and a spring breeze on his face.

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows, "What good news!"

Xia Wanchun bowed with a smile, and then said, "Zhang Xianzhong caught it."

Gao Huan was slightly stunned, and then reacted and smiled in a good mood and said, "Oh. This is indeed good news. Did the Guoan Department catch it?"

After the war in Changsha, Li Dingguo fled, but there was no news about Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu. Gao Huan estimated that they might be among the hundreds of thousands of prisoners who were captured.

After all, if Zhang Xianzhong had not been caught for a few months, he would have fled back to the Western Kingdom long ago.

Since there is no news, so most of Zhang Xianzhong has been captured, so Gao Huan ordered the National Security Department to investigate the prisoners and find Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Xia Wanchun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was not discovered by the National Security Department, but Zhang Xianzhong voluntarily surrendered."

Gao Huan was stunned again when he heard the words, "Zhang Xianzhong surrendered voluntarily? Can he be crazy?"

Xia Wanchun said: "I don't know this, but Zhang Xianzhong should have suffered a blow. By the way, after he voluntarily surrendered, he made a request, hoping to see His Majesty."
