Chapter 16 News of the Great Victory

It took the King of Korea a while to come to his senses and said, "You go ahead and do your work."

The sadness of the King of Joseon is not known to others. He himself never felt that he was worse than Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. But his achievements could only be limited to the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in Korea. He didn't even have to think about opening up the territory and expanding the territory.

Shang was only in his thirties, and his health was broken.

The heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper.

"Yes." Li Xiang said. He hesitated and said, "What about those people with thorns?"

The King of Korea said calmly: "There are no Wazi people there, they are just a few Mongolian businessmen."

Li Xiang understood the idea and said: "My child understands." He immediately broke off the secret contact between North Korea and Wasi.

The King of Joseon nodded. The efficiency of the Joseon side was not slow. Wang Ying personally led the team, led 2,000 soldiers, and dozens of ships, loaded with 100,000 shi of grain, docked in North Korea, and then set off from North Korea and crossed

Tsushima Strait, and then headed northwest.

This time, Wang Ying dispatched almost all the large ships. The transportation capacity of the entire fleet was more than 100,000 shi, but Wang Ying chose to bring more soldiers, rather than waste some transportation capacity.

I am just worried about waterway problems and Japanese pirates along the way.

However, the North Koreans sent people to solve the waterway problem. However, the Japanese pirates issue was still a problem, and Wang Ying's worries became a reality. Wang Ying had a solid fight with the Japanese pirates.

He estimated that there were at least a thousand Japanese pirates.

The use of so many ships and people in Japan must have the support of daimyo, which shows that Ashikaga's world is in a state of ruin.

Wang Ying turned to the northwest and saw the beacon fire on the shore from a distance. One after another, he was afraid that he could not see it.

So Wang Ying sent people ashore to contact him, and finally he was ushered into the port.

This is where Haixiwei, also known as Yi Shiha, is located.

Wang Ying didn't know about the later Vladivostok, but he could see that the place where Haixiwei was located was a peninsula deep into the sea. This kind of place surrounded by the sea on three sides was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack against land attacks.

As for the so-called deep-water port in Vladivostok, it has no use at all in today’s Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, in the Hercynian Acropolis, trenches have only been excavated and trestles have been built.

Seeing the big ship coming, almost everyone here in Haixiwei cheered together.

Tens of thousands of people gathered here.

Most of them are Jurchens.

The reason why these Jurchens came here to serve the Ming Dynasty was, on the one hand, to intimidate the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it was for food.

I don’t know how many Jurchen tribes are thinking about these 100,000 shi of grain.

Yi Shiha came out to greet him in person.

When Wang Ying saw Yi Shiha, he immediately saluted and said, "My nephew pays homage to Shibo."

Wang Ying is Wang Jinghong's adopted son. Both Wang Jinghong and Yi Shiha were born in the palace. If Wang Jinghong was still alive, Yi Shiha probably wouldn't be able to compare with Wang Jinghong.

.

But now that Wang Jinghong is no longer here, it is Yu Yin's fault that he can find a royal guard for Wang Ying.

Therefore, he tried his best to build relationships, find connections, and make money everywhere.

Yishiha also said: "My nephew is so polite. If the prince is alive in heaven, he will definitely be happy to see my nephew so capable."

Xu Youzhen also came over, and he also exchanged pleasantries with Yi Shiha. However, the innate gap between civil servants and eunuchs prevented them from talking much.

Xu Youzhen put her mind on the surrounding environment and investigated the lives of the Jurchen people, the fertility of the land, etc.

It was far away. Xu Youzhen didn’t look much at it.

Xu Youzhen found that this area really had great potential. Among other things, most Jurchen people raised horses. The price of horses alone was much lower than in Guan Nei.

So without reclamation, this area alone is quite good as a racecourse.

There is a large area of ​​black land to the northwest toward Xingkai Lake. Although it is only available once a year, the output will probably not be too small.

Xu Youzhen thought to herself: "This is a treasure land, but Yi Shiha's work is too rough."

Xu Youzhen may have problems of one kind or another. But she has enough abilities and is a first-class expert in water conservancy, construction, farming, etc.

Compared with Yi Shiha, it is far behind.

However, a piece of news reached Xu Youzhen's ears, and Xu Youzhen suddenly stopped thinking about Haixi's plan.

The news was that Cheng Guogong went out of the fortress, fought two battles with Wu Liangha, and beheaded hundreds of people, while Wu Liangha escaped.

Xu Youzhen immediately thought: "There is a storm in the capital."

Although the battlefield with Wu Liangha was just a few hundred miles west of here, there was Changbai Mountain in between. The news was spread from the battlefield to Liaodong, and then from Liaodong.

Therefore, Xu Youzhen's judgment was correct.

When he heard the news here, the news had already reached the capital. The spread of the news in the capital was based on Xu Youzhen's judgment.

When the great victory just came.

There was great joy in the capital.

After all, this battle was actually the second largest battle since Zhu Qizhen came to the throne, second only to the Battle of Luchuan.

But the Battle of Luchuan is far away after all.

The people in Beijing did not feel any pain at all and felt that the matter had nothing to do with them.

The attack on Wuliangha from the north greatly inspired the hearts of the capital.

Of course, this is the view of the common people.

But the situation is different at the official level. Some people have said that impeachment of officials is a waste of national resources. Nothing is accomplished, and even defeat is turned into victory.

The reason lies in the number of people beheaded.

The three-pronged army, if Cao Yi's side is included, becomes the fourth-pronged army, but the total number of beheadings of the four-pronged army is only more than a thousand.

This number is too small.

Sent tens of thousands of cavalry

, the cost of this battle alone was less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. As for the horses and soldiers lost in the battle, it cannot just be calculated as an economic account.

Paying such a high price was just a matter of beheading more than a thousand people.

Zhu Qizhen felt uncomfortable.

As mentioned before, because of the beheading system, the number of beheadings is not the number of Uliangha's battle losses. The number of people who died in Uliangha's battle should be doubled.

But even so, there are only a few thousand soldiers.

Although the loss of several thousand soldiers was enough to make Wu Liangha feel physically painful, after all, Wu Liangha's soldiers were only tens of thousands. This was enough to hurt Wu Liangha's muscles and bones, and even severely weakened his vitality.

But the problem is that this level of loss still does not meet Zhu Qizhen's expectations.

What are the strategic goals of Zhu Qi Town?

It is to take advantage of the main force of Wasi in the Western Region to defeat Wu Liangha. At least it will make Wu Liangha lose his combat effectiveness. Then there will be no need to worry about Wu Liangha when fighting with Wasi in the future.

But the problem is that the result of this battle is not enough.

Zhu Qizhen was not satisfied with the outcome of this war.

But satisfaction or dissatisfaction does not affect Zhu Qizhen's decision.

First of all, no matter how you say this battle, it is a victory, not a defeat. Especially Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong also tried his best. Zhu Qizhen looked at the distance from the first battle to the last battle, which was more than three hundred miles.

.

That is to say, after Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng State, brought his troops into contact with the headquarters of Ulliangha, and after a great victory in the battle, he chased him northwards for more than three hundred miles in one go.

Biting Wu Liangha and not letting go.

Wu Liangha had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight with the Chengguo government headquarters in a place north of Quaningwei, not far from Yuyuer Lake.

As for the second battle, it was not as beautiful as what Chengguo Gongjun reported.

The two sides chased for hundreds of miles, and the men and horses were exhausted. After a battle, Wu Liangha cut off his tail and fled. Cheng Guogong also felt that his soldiers were tired and could no longer pursue.

So the teacher returned to the court.

The troops were sent out in the first month of the year, and the ice and snow had not yet melted in many places in the Northeast. Even if Zhu Qizhen was not satisfied with the results of the battle, he still had to deal with the soldiers fighting below.

Therefore, even if there were civil officials impeaching, Zhu Qizhen defended them one by one, and personally reviewed the impeachment memorials one by one, and transferred all officials who spoke too much out of the capital.

It looked like he believed in Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong.

The ministers were even summoned to discuss the issue of this battle's achievements. The tone was set from the beginning, that is, this was a great victory and a heavy reward would be required.

In order to avoid opposition from civilian officials, Zhu Qizhen even spent one million taels of silver out of his own pocket to reward the entire army, and everyone who participated in the expedition had a share.

As a result, everyone knew about Zhu Qizhen's love for nobles. There was even a rumor that Zhu Qizhen wanted to discuss the matter of ennobling several generals.
