Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 235 Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han, Brothers Killing each other?never existed! 【Seek full order】

Acting in such a manner will naturally only make Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han really close, and there will be no historical struggles for power.

This also means that Daming will have the help of Zhu Han, a genius from heaven, for at least a few decades.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to hear everyone's praise.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, someone praising Zhu Han made him happier than praising him himself.

"Everyone has understood, so we can rest assured. All these new policies, you all listen to the arrangement of the Seventh Five-Year Plan, so that all people in the Ming Dynasty can benefit from the new life!" Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently.

Li Shanchang Liu Bowen and others said that they themselves must wholeheartedly support His Royal Highness in implementing the New Deal.

These people are capable ministers who have left their names in history, and they can propose more detailed and feasible detailed regulations based on their own experience for Zhu Hanlai's outline.

With the help of Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Shi Naian and others, the New Life Movement of the Ming Dynasty was officially promoted in the sixth year of Hongwu.

The first places to promote are several densely populated political and economic centers such as Yingtian Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, and Guangzhou Mansion.

The leading effect of big cities is very significant.

In less than a month, the Ming New Life Movement's various policies on food, clothing, housing and transportation were fully rolled out in these big cities.

In particular, food, which Chinese people care about most, can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people when it is promoted.

After repeated preaching by grassroots officials, the dangers of raw water and raw meat have been fully understood by everyone.

These big cities are basically in the south. Every year, many people suffer from serious diseases because of eating raw fish and raw water, and many people even die because of it.

One of the biggest notable results brought about by the Daming New Life Movement was that the glass kettles produced by Ying Tianfu were out of stock.

This kind of glass kettle uses double-layer glass, and an aspirator connected to a water wheel is used to remove the air in the interlayer, and then a basic version of the thermos bottle is formed.

Because when the officials of Ming Dynasty demonstrated the hazards of raw water, the boiled water for comparison was put in this thermos bottle, and many people remembered this magical object.

"Drinking boiled water can cure all diseases!"

Unknowingly, this famous saying of later generations appeared among the common people in the Ming Dynasty.

The New Life Movement of the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, and naturally they couldn't stop the crusades everywhere.

After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the territory has been expanded almost every year, and the sixth year of Hongwu is no exception.

Xu Da, the chief general in the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty, has reported that the entire territory of Sichuan has been completely occupied by the Ming army, and Chen Youliang's army in Yunnan has fled without a trace.

Many chieftains, large and small, remained in the local area, each occupying the mountains as kings. Some of them resisted the arrival of the Ming army, some obeyed, and did not form a unified resistance force.

Major battles throughout the Southwest will basically never happen again.

In the Baishanheishui area of ​​Liaoyang, the local Jurchen tribes were recruited by the Ming army again and again, and the young and middle-aged were basically recruited by the Ming court to fight against the Mongols in the northwest and grasslands.

A large amount of land left in the Northeast became the official garrison base of the Ming army.

With the spared no efforts of the Dalian court, more than 10 farmers from the north went to Liaoyang province for reclamation.

According to Zhu Han's estimation, the more than 30 land reclamation farmers will become 10 million in another 100 years.

In Lanzhou Xingdusi in the northwest, the Ming army stationed there easily defeated Wang Baobao's large-scale invasion. The surrounding Mongolian tribes were completely convinced of Ming Dynasty. The Ming army invites meritorious service and rewards.

After the situation in Lanzhou was stabilized, a steady stream of food materials and commodities from the Central Plains poured into this traditional commercial corridor, and the local people's livelihood and administration were in good shape.

Wang Baobao's forces entrenched in the Tianshan Mountains probably would never dare to touch the fierce tiger of Lanzhou Xingdusi again.

It's just that the distance between the capital of Lanzhou and the Central Plains is really far away. It will take some time to hoard all kinds of materials. It is still impossible to launch a strategic offensive against Wang Baobao who is located in the Tianshan area. For the time being, he can only be in a solid defensive situation.

Wang Baobao, who owns the double flags of the Great Mongolia and the Yuan Dynasty, is already in such a mess, and the other Mongolian tribes on the grassland are naturally even more honest.

Daming implemented strict grassland divisions on the grasslands, focusing on those Mongolian tribes who dared to take the lead, and actively gave them mutual market discounts for tribes that were willing to actively cooperate with Daming.

When Wang Baobao led the Mongolian and Yuan forces to flee, he took away a large number of people on the grassland. Now there are fewer people and more land on the grassland, and no threatening forces will form in a short time.

Moreover, Zhu Han has formulated other management policies for the various tribes on the grassland. Even if the population on the grassland increases in the future, Buddhism and recruitment can be used to absorb a large number of young and strong labor forces on the grassland, so that these nomadic tribes will not be able to resist Ming Dynasty. strength.

Therefore, the main military offensive in Hongwu's six years was concentrated on the Wa country.

The Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom has completely become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no difficulty in the military attack of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.

Therefore, Mao Gui and Guo Zixing are enough for the generals in charge of Daming's offensive in Japan.

Wa country, Kyoto.

The general of the Muromachi Shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshizen, frowned, was discussing a life-and-death crisis with a group of Japanese daimyos.

"The Ming army has already begun to attack us!"

"The glory of God Amaterasu, we must defend it!"

"Everyone will send troops with me tomorrow to resist Ming's army. As long as we can defeat Ming's army, we can take down Shi Jian. The gold and silver are all ours!"

The strength of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom far surpassed that of the Southern Dynasty.

Under the control of Daming, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom had already given up the title of the so-called emperor and became an external prince of the Ming Dynasty, just like Annan, Koryo and other vassal states.

The Muromachi Shogunate of the Northern Dynasty refused to give in.

Now that the Ming army is overwhelming, Ashikaga Yoshizen decides to fight to the death.

"God Amaterasu blesses us, we will definitely be able to defeat the Ming Kingdom!"

"Buying the world, Amaterasu, is irresistible!"

"General, we will all follow you!"

. . . . .

The local names of these Wa countries are all local emperors.

They all know that once the Ming army wins, they will lose all their power.

Therefore, this battle not only represents the Muromachi shogunate, but also represents themselves.

"Okay! Then we will mobilize an army of [-]. If we don't defeat the Ming Kingdom, then we will go to see God Amaterasu!"

Ashikaga Yoshizen stood up abruptly, pulled out his saber, chopped off a corner of the table, looked at everyone and continued.

"Anyone who dares to shrink back will end up like this table!"

The Japanese daimyos below all knelt on the ground seriously, expressing their determination to fight with the shogun by kneeling.

The Muromachi Shogunate of the Northern Dynasties mobilized an army of [-], an unprecedentedly large scale in the history of the Wa Kingdom.

Although most of the [-] troops are ashigaru farmers who are worthless, they all believe that no matter how powerful the Ming army is, they cannot defeat them!

The information about the war preparations of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa kingdom also quickly reached the ears of Guo Zixing and Mao Gui.

However, Guo Zixing and Mao Gui were not intimidated by the [-] troops at all.

"Hahaha, these Japanese little devils actually think that a hundred thousand troops can resist us!" After Guo Zixing got the news, his first reaction was to laugh.

Guo Zixing is the adoptive father of Empress Daming, and he is regarded as half the head of the state, and his status is quite respected.

After he came to the Wa Kingdom, he had great power in his hands, and he could kill and kill the officials and people of the Wa Kingdom.

Although Guo Zixing's soldiers and horses are only more than 1 people, they are all strong soldiers and horses. The cavalry among them are all riding tall and strong Hexi war horses, which are not comparable to the donkey-like cavalry of the Japanese cavalry.

In addition to the cavalry, Guo Zixing's infantry also has a new type of plate armor purchased from Yingtian, which is basically immune to all light weapons.

"King Chuyang is right. I think these Japanese people are going to die together. It saves us to deal with them one by one!"

Mao Gui on the side said with a smile.

As an early general of the Red Turban Army, Mao Gui's ability on the battlefield has long been confirmed.

He is not even afraid of the arrogant Mongolian cavalry, let alone a Japanese dwarf.

Daming's army in the Wa Kingdom mainly consisted of two parts.

Part of it is the guard of Chuyang King Guo Zixing, because Guo Zixing is the vassal of the Ming Dynasty and can have his own army.

It's just that Guo Zixing needs to bear all the expenses of the army himself.

The other part of the army belonged to the Ming court and directly belonged to the Daming Haidong Dufu, led by Mao Gui, the Duhu.

Although Mao Gui was well-known and experienced, he suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Mongols in Liaoyang in the later period. If Zhu Han hadn't sent people to rescue him, he might have died in Koryo long ago.

Therefore, compared with Guo Zixing, Mao Gui is just an ordinary noble.

Mao Gui is very concerned about this action of destroying the Wa Kingdom, because this may be his last chance to make great contributions.

Mao Gui is now only a Marquis of [-] households. If he can destroy the Wa Kingdom this time and complete the tasks entrusted by the court smoothly, he should be able to go one step further and become a Duke of the State.

The Ming army assembled 5000 troops this time, of which 5000 were led by Mao Gui, the other 5000 were Guo Zixing's guards, and the remaining 5000 were locals recruited from the Wa Kingdom.

Although the Japanese people are short in stature, they are cruel by nature, so they are the most suitable dogs to be used as lackeys.

Compared with the Goryeo Eight Banners composed of Goryeo people, the Japanese Imperial Association Army under Mao Gui has much higher combat effectiveness.

Soon the Ming army and the Japanese army launched a decisive battle in the Kyoto area.

Twilight summer, July.

Wajima, Kyoto in the middle.

All the lords and aristocrats of the Wa Kingdom knew that the Ming Dynasty implemented direct rule in the Wa Kingdom. Once the Ming army won, they would lose all their land and privileges, so this battle was also a decisive battle that related to the survival of their family.

Ashikaga Yoshiken of the Muromachi Shogunate, wearing a red armor at this time, stood majestically in front of the army.

This time the Japanese pirates mobilized a genuine army of 15.

Although most of them are peasants without combat effectiveness, the flags all over the mountains and plains still make this army look mighty.

The terrain of the country of Wa is rugged, and only the area around Kyoto belongs to a relatively wide plain.

The general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshizenge, voluntarily gave up the hilly terrain in the west of Kyoto, allowing the Ming army to penetrate deep into the area of ​​Kyoto.

"General, give the order, the Ming army has already appeared!" Ogura Shintakero, as the number one general of the Muromachi shogunate, took the initiative to challenge Ashikaga Yoshikan to fight.

"Shintakero, lead your army well, no one can attack first without my order!" Ashikaga Yoshikan said with a serious face.

"Hi!"

Ogura Shintakero had to hasten to obey the order.

The Japanese pirates' army is mainly infantry, and most of these infantry don't have any decent armor. It is quite decent to have a set of armor made of bamboo and animal skin.

Only a high-ranking general like Shintakero Ogura has a set of heirloom-like iron armor.

But to be honest, the iron armor on Ogura Shinwuro's body is actually very low in protective effect. According to the current equipment standards of the Ming army, it is already a low-quality product.

As for most of the other infantry, there was only a spear with an iron head, and a set of tattered linen clothes.

The cavalry of Japanese pirates is the most precious existence in the army, and they are all composed of senior warriors.

It's just that the equipment of these Japanese pirate cavalry is also very backward, and the bow and arrow production technology of the Japanese pirates is seriously insufficient. The bows and arrows used are long, heavy, and weak, and the cavalry has no ability to ride and shoot at all.

However, with all these shortcomings, in the face of a ten-fold gap in numbers, the Japanese pirates, large and small, are still full of confidence.

The news that the 15 Japanese pirates were waiting in battle on the plains of Kyoto soon spread to Guo Zixing and Mao Gui's army.

"These Japanese pirates are able to display 15 people neatly, and they are quite capable!" Guo Zixing said calmly.

Guo Zixing revolted in Haozhou many years ago, and the largest number of troops under his command was no more than 2.

This is not to say that he is unwilling to let the more troops under his command be better, but Guo Ziqing clearly knows that the more people there are, the more difficult it is to command, and the daily march and camp of more than [-] people can put the general in a very difficult situation. busy.

Now the Japanese pirates on the opposite side can not only really mobilize more than [-] soldiers, but also put these more than [-] soldiers and horses on the battlefield, which surprised Guo Zixing.

"10,000+ Japanese pirates are also a bunch of dwarfs, they are useless at all! Dad, let's go directly!" said Guo Tianci on the side.

Among Guo Zixing's several sons, only Guo Tianci is the most capable, and he has also studied in the Daming Yintian Military Academy.

This time against the Japanese pirates, Guo Tianci was actually the actual commander of Guo Zixing's army.

"Tianci is right, we don't have to be afraid, these Japanese pirates can show more than [-] people, which is already their limit!" Mao Gui who was on the side also said with a smile at this time.

Taking advantage of his own cavalry advantages, he quickly grasped all the Japanese pirates' marching formations clearly.
