Chapter 329 and 330 Embezzle the army
Where did the 35,000 Jiangnan Army go? Of course, it is already waiting to be sent to Haidong. The name was that the Mongol army was about to land on the island of Kyushu, and the Yuan court was going to send them back to Jiangnan. Isn't Li Luo afraid that tens of thousands of Jiangnan troops will go to Haidong and find out that they have been deceived, and they will make a fuss about leaving, or even make trouble?
Unafraid.
Because in the past three months, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army have long had a basic general worship for Li Luo. Li Luo's generous reward also made the Jiangnan Army, who had always been treated harshly by the Yuan Court, grateful to Dade. General Li has won many battles, and his aura of loving soldiers like a son has made the soldiers infected by his "personality charm".
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that more than seventy percent of the 100 officers in the Jiangnan Army were appointed by the commanders of Li Luo's army. The generals at the level of thousands of households are all Li Luo's lineage.
In the months since the conquest, these Li Luo's descendants have long established their prestige and firmly controlled the military power. At the same time, he also established a relationship with the soldiers. These soldiers are all from poor families in Jiangnan, and they also have a strong sense of obedience. The generals and backbones are all Li Luo's people, and it is difficult for them to make trouble.
During this time, the officers often brainwashed their soldiers and talked about the stories of paradise, which has done a lot of foreshadowing.
Another point is that most of these Jiangnan soldiers who can cross the sea to conquer Japan and are ready to settle down in Japan are originally bachelors. Those who have families to worry about are in the minority.
Moreover, Li Luo believes in Cui Xiuning's ability, she will definitely be able to appease the emotions of the Jiangnan Army as soon as possible, not only will they not fight back, but they will willingly stay in Haidong to serve. These aftermath plans were all discussed by Li Luo and Cui Xiuning.
The Jiangnan Army is the so-called "Nanren", with the lowest status among the fourth-class people, although in the name of the Yuan Army, it is actually cannon fodder, which was sent to Japan by the Yuan Court for consumption. This truth, under the guidance of intentional or unintentional, many people have slowly understood.
If it weren't for the sake of food and struggling to survive, who would be so cheap and willing to work for the Tartar who oppressed him?
Staying in a place like Haidong is not a hundred times stronger than returning to Jiangnan and continuing to be bullied?
Besides, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses left behind in Haidong, and tens of thousands of peasant soldiers, and it is not that there is no force at all.
Therefore, Li Luo dared to boldly send the tens of thousands of Jiangnan troops that had been raised to Haidong without worrying about the tail.
Of course, the Jiangnan Army did land on Shikoku Island. Under Li Luo's secret order, Yang Xu and other Wanhu officials led the Jiangnan army to plunder the four countries that were empty in defense.
In less than ten days, the Jiangnan army divided its troops and captured nearly 1,000 craftsmen, more than 10,000 young and strong, and more than 30,000 women. By the way, the Ichijo clan, the Yasui clan, and the Nagamune Ibu clan of Shikoku Island were exterminated. This process is also killing people's heads.
The reason why so many women were captured was to be daughters-in-law for the sergeants, and it was not a disaster.
Therefore, Li Luo issued a strict order in advance to strictly prohibit the cruelty of Japanese women. And the women who have been taken captive are to be treated with courtesy. Let Yang Xu and the others tell the soldiers that these women are used by the general to make your Hun family, don't bully them.
The population of Shikoku Island was originally only more than 500,000, and as a result, most of the young women on Shikoku Island were swept away.
When Yang Xu and others returned south according to the plan, more than 80,000 soldiers were taken prisoner. If Li Luo hadn't captured a large number of Japanese ships, he wouldn't have been able to take them away at all.
When Li Luo arrived at Uwa Bay on Shikoku Island with more than 10,000 descendants, a fleet of more than 80,000 people was already preparing to set off on the Cape Sata Peninsula.
After Li Luo held a military meeting, he went to visit the Jiangnan soldiers and told them that when they returned to the south, they would definitely be arranged and let them live like individuals.
He only said that he would return to the south, but he did not say that he would return to Jiangnan, and Haidong was also in the south.
General Li's promise immediately surprised and delighted the Jiangnan soldiers. They are all veterans, but the boss has never paid so much attention to them, and has said heart-warming words.
"Thank you, General......" Every time Li Luo said these words in a camp, he was greeted with cheers and thanks from the soldiers.
Next, Li Luo went to the women's prisoner camp again, and told these poor Japanese girls in Japanese that they would go to a good place, and as long as they were honest and obedient, they would definitely have a better life than under the oppression of the wealthy clans of Shikoku. And promised that as long as you obey, you will not be bullied, let alone killed.
But if you don't obey, hum, then I'm sorry.
Li Luo's words played a role to some extent. for many women bowed down to him. They are all daughters of the low-level Japanese people, and they have no concept of national righteousness, and they just want to live.
Hatred and resentment make them miserable, but fear is enough to bring them to their knees. Compared to living well, many things are still heavier, right?
In the end, Li Luo incorporated most of the Haidong lineage, including Zheng He's ocean-going fleet, into the Nangui fleet. There are only 4,000 descendants left in Japan, mainly Jianghua Xiangyong. Because although Ganghwa Xiangyong is his descendant, he belongs to the battle sequence of the Goryeo Army.
The craftsmen and people captured in Honshu and Kyushu were also incorporated into the Nangui fleet. The population of the southbound fleet reached a staggering 120,000.
Dozens of cartloads of classics and artifacts were snatched from Kyoto and Dazaifu, and all other things were brought back to Haidong, except for some unimportant ones that were left in the perfunctory Yuan court.
Yang Xu, Xiao Bei and other generals are all happy and admired by the five-body throwing to the ground. The lord's trick to hide the sky and the sea is really clever, not only swallowing tens of thousands of Jiangnan troops in one bite, but also privately swallowing so many people and property, but the Yuan court is ignorant.
It's really the best in the world!
Enjoyable, greatly enjoyable! With such a master, are you still afraid that you will not have fame and wealth in the future?
"Take care! I will wait for the return, the lord's army is thin, I implore the lord not to put himself in danger, and the gentleman will not stand under the dangerous wall! Yang Xu and the others pleaded together when they set off.
It wasn't until Li Luo promised to cherish himself that the generals gave the order to sail with confidence.
When the Nangui fleet set sail, Li Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Nangui fleet successfully reaches Haidong, most of the goals of the conquest plan will be completed.
After the departure of the Nangui fleet, Li Luo led the last 4,000 soldiers and horses, deliberately stayed on Shikoku Island for a few days, symbolically appointed a few Japanese traitors as county commanders, and returned to Kyushu Island by boat.
Soon, a piece of good news came back to Kyushu.
The general led more than 10,000 Chinese troops, personally braved arrows and stones, fought fiercely with tens of thousands of Japanese troops in the four countries, fought several bloody battles, and finally annihilated the wealthy clans of the four countries and pacified the island of four countries.
Victory!
However, the Chinese army was outnumbered and suffered heavy losses, and after the pacification of Shikoku Island, the Chinese army only had 4,000 men.
As a result, there are only about 30,000 land divisions on Kyushu Island. These 30,000 people, in addition to the 4,000 Chinese army, are 7,000 Goryeo troops, 8,000 Mongolian Semu troops, and 12,000 Jiangnan troops.
It's really tens of thousands of "remnants".
On November 5, it was cold. Li Luo finally looked forward to the Yuan Dynasty and the Yuan Army.
There were more than 20,000 Yuan troops who came to help, all of whom were cavalry with one man and two horses, especially the Mongolian cavalry. And the commander of the reinforcements is still Xindu, who fled back to China a few months ago.
The Yuan court lacked sea ships, and it was both requisitioned and searched, and it was difficult to form a fleet carrying more than 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 horses. So it took more than a month for reinforcements to arrive in Dazaifu. However, this was already a few days earlier than Li Luo expected.
Xin Du was very impressed when he landed in Hakata Bay. When I landed a few months ago, I couldn't land because of the Japanese army's stone-walled fortress in several bloody battles. But this time, it was like going ashore in a no-man's land.
Of course, it is true to thank Li Luo, but it is also true to be jealous of Li Luo.
A small four-grade Yu Hou has such luck.
Xin Du came to the outside of Dazaifu City, and Li Luo personally greeted him as soon as possible. At this time, more than 20,000 cavalry had rumbled to the outside of the city, and a large area of black pressure was very spectacular.
When Xin Du saw a young man in his early twenties dressed in gorgeous Goryeo armor and being surrounded out of the city, he immediately knew that it was Li Luo.
Of course, Li Luo had seen Xindu. But Xin Du didn't remember Li Luo at all.
"Xindu Badu! Finally, like looking forward to the timely rain, I am looking forward to Xindu Badu! As soon as Li Luo met, he smiled and said in Mongolian.
Hearing that Li Luo was so proficient in Mongolian and what he said was also very pleasant, Xin Du's impression of Li Luo suddenly improved a lot.
However, Xin did not greet this general of the expedition to the east. For he will read the decree.
"Li Luo, the general of the expedition to the east, take the order!" Xin Du jumped off his horse and took out a copy of the holy decree.
Li Luo had already been mentally prepared, kneeling neatly, and secretly saying that Lao Tzu knelt down on his son.
"Weichen Li Luo, kneel down to receive the holy decree! Holy Ann, please! β
Xin Du said: "The Great Khan is very good! After speaking, he instructed the Han officials around him to unfold the holy decree and read it:
"In the power of the immortal weather, in the great blessing of the shade, in the emperor's holy decree! The holy decree that Marshal Xin Du of Chadu gave to Li Luo: The last time you played the occupation of the Japanese Saikaido, I was very happy, and I read your great merit in my heart, and I taught Xin to give you the holy decree of rewarding merit. β
"If you really have this great merit, it is the loyal and brave general of Dayuan, I have sealed you as the general of the Eastern Expedition, and you have been the Marquis of Jianghua County, and I will reward you with a cowardly root, and give you the name of Xiaojiu Badu, and teach you to live well."
"If there is really such a great merit, it is a good official of the Great Yuan, I have sealed you as the Pingzhang of the Japanese Province, and the good life governs the Japanese people, teaches him to follow the meaning of the Immortal Heaven, and to be the people of the Great Yuan in the end, and to discipline the farming, the army, the officials, and the people of all colors. If he is a respectful and good person, and he is an official, you can arrange him under the four grades. β
"Those who rebel, those who are unconvinced, and those who are stubborn, just beat and kill, so that they can teach him to do his part every time he extinguishes his mind."
"Xin Du and you have nothing to do, he is still the marshal, and you are also the general. Each of you fights separately, if he is not big, you go, and if you don't grow, he goes. But when the two of you are fighting, this military aircraft major matter must be discussed, which means working together. β
"Now that the weather is cold, I will consider your benefits, give you good clothes in the skin of the black fox, and discipline you warmly. Every soldier who works hard in battle, who dies or is wounded, is a good soldier. And I gave him ten thousand fat sheep, and three thousand urns of Araki wine, mare's milk wine, wine, and linen wine, that he might use them for every ...... Greatly. β
Li Luo knelt on the ground, listening to this holy decree, and almost laughed.
The decrees written by the old peasants in the countryside are probably more elegant than those of Kublai Khan.
But the problem is that Kublai Khan is a very talented person, and he has been in Han for many years, and he was also sinicized in the early days, how could he write such a crude vernacular holy decree? That uncle is not so illiterate. He couldn't have been so vulgar when he spoke to Hanchen.
The reason is actually quite simple. The person who wrote the decree was certainly not Kublai Khan himself, but the Mongolian Hanlin Academy. This is the holy decree written by the Mongolian Hanlin Academy according to the meaning of Kublai Khan.
The officials of the Hanlin Academy, that can only be filled by talented and well-educated people. But if you add the word Mongolia in front of the Hanlin Academy, it will be very different.
The officials of the Mongolian Hanlin Academy, such as the bachelors of the Imperial Academy, the edicts, and the system sounded very literate, but in fact, they were all Mongolian nobles. These Mongolian Hanlin Mode culture, let them shoot arrows and cut people, but write holy decrees, don't be too difficult for them.
To be able to write such a Chinese holy decree is really a cultural person among the Mongolian aristocracy.
Li Luo was not much surprised when he heard that he had been awarded the title of Pingzhang of the Japanese Province, the Marquis of Jianghua County, the cowardly Xue Gang's background, and the title of "Little Nine Badu", because the Yuan Dynasty was extremely heavy on military merits, and he had expected that the official who was sealed would definitely not be small.
Moreover, Li Luo was very dissatisfied with the title of "Little Nine Badu". Batu is a Chinese transliteration of the Mongolian word for "warrior", also translated as Baturu. The great traitor Zhang Hongfan gave him the title "Jiubadu", and Kublai Khan gave him the title "Little Jiubadu", which means "Little Zhang Hongfan". It would be strange if Li Luo was satisfied.
"Weichen Li Luo leads the order, thank you for the grace of God!" Hearing the Han official say "Qinzai", Li Luo immediately thanked him, quickly stood up, and took the holy decree from the Han official's hand.
Open it and take a look.,It's a god.,The words are written like elementary school students don't say.,Typos are five or six out of ten.,Fortunately, the meaning is very clear.γ Li Luo couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the Han official, and saw his hard look.
"Haha, Xiao Jiu Badu, this is the black fox fur coat that the Great Khan rewarded you!" Xin smiled enthusiastically, and with a wave of his hand, a pro-soldier held a black fox and handed it to Li Luo.
Then, his official title and official seal tokens were also issued to him by Xin Du one by one.
From this moment on, Li Luo is the real general of the Eastern Expedition, the Marquis of Jianghua County, the political affairs of the Japanese province of Pingzhang, and the dignified and upright official of the first rank of the frontier.
This is also a major feature of the politics of the Yuan Dynasty. As long as the military merits are great enough, there is no restriction on promotion, and it is not uncommon for people to be promoted by a few grades, and they are willing to give the title. This was completely unthinkable in the Song and Ming dynasties.
Then, the Privy Council and the Ministry of Officials posthumously recognized the official positions appointed by Li Luo in place of the imperial court under expediency, such as the ten thousand households and thousands of households of Mongol generals such as Zheza, and the post of the head of the Xihai Road with less and less trust. Regarding Li Luo's abolition of the country as a county, the Yuan court also recognized it in approval.
It's a joy for all.
"Xindu Badu, please come into the city! I have set up a banquet in the city to wash the dust of Xindu Badu! Li Luo said.
"Since the host is so hospitable, then I'm not welcome as a guest." Xin Du said in his words.
Li Luo sneered in his heart, and said: "Xin Du Badu's words are not right, how can he be the master in the next, the master of Kyushu Island and this Xiuning City is Da Yuan, and he is a saint!" β
Xin Du laughed, and even said: "Xiao Jiu Badu, it's me Xin Du who lost his words." Although Xin Du was polite on the surface, the arrogance of the Mongolian nobles still made him look down on Li Luo in his heart.
Hmph, a Korean, no matter how big the official is, he is also a slave of the Mongolian nation. The little Sipin Yu Hou, who was lucky enough to win a few battles and occupy Kyushu Island, really thought that he could be on an equal footing with me?
Is Dayuan's country big? Big. But no matter how big the country is, it is also Mongolian.
Thinking that a few months ago, this Li Luo was just a small general under his command, but now he is on an equal footing with himself, Xin Du is very disgusting.
Where does Li Luo not know what Xin Du thinks? But he didn't care at all. smiled: "Xindu Badu, wait until you enter the city, and introduce you to a person." β
Oh? Xin Du saw Li Luo's expression a little proud, although he was curious, he didn't bother to ask again.
The banquet was held at the former Dazaifu Council Palace. Not only the generals of the Yuan army came, but also the young and the Japanese monarchs and ministers.
The best kabuki in Dazaifu also came to the banquet performance.
At the banquet, Xin Du finally met the guests that Li Luo wanted to introduce.
"The king of the small country, meet the lord of the kingdom." The father and son of the Emperor of Guishan, who were called by Li Luo to participate in the banquet, bowed to Li Luo as soon as possible.
Well? Xin couldn't understand Chinese, but seeing that these two people were noble, he seemed to have guessed something, and his face changed slightly.
Sure enough, Li Luo said in Mongolian language: "Xindu Badu, the emperor of the Japanese country, has already stood up in front of you respectfully like a slave at this time!" β
What the!
Although Xin Du guessed a little, he was still shocked when he heard Li Luo's words.
Captured the Japanese emperor! That's another great achievement! This credit goes up, but I am afraid that Li Luo's Jianghua County Marquis will become the Jianghua County Prince.
He also knew that the Japanese emperor was a puppet, but no matter how much he was a puppet, he was also the king of a country.
Suddenly, Xin Du's contempt for Li Luo couldn't help but fade a little, but his jealousy was a little more.
"Pour wine for Ben Shuai!" Xin Du immediately poured his anger on Emperor Kameyama's father and son.
Guishan father and son couldn't understand Mongolian, but they also knew that this tall and majestic Mongolian general was very powerful, so they had to look at Li Luo for help.
Li Luo said with a smile: "Lord of Guishan, this is the Great Yuan Clan, the Marshal of the Expedition to the Sun and the Lord of Xindu. He asked you to pour him wine. β
What the? Kameyama and his son were stunned at first, and then felt a deep humiliation.
But how dare they refuse?
Guishan's face turned red, and he hesitated for a moment, but finally lifted the wine jug on the Xindu case.
"Your Majesty, no!" Suddenly, in the middle of the banquet, a Japanese minister stood up, and it was none other than the Great Nayan Kujo Loyalty.
Although Kujo Tadakyo was "invited" to the banquet, he felt humiliated and angry in his heart, but in order not to disturb the emperor, he still came.
At this time, seeing the Mongolian nobles forcing His Majesty the Emperor to pour wine, Kujo TadΕkyo couldn't help but stand up any longer.
Kujou Zhongjiao walked in front of Xin Du, bowed deeply, and said without humility or arrogance: "The ministers of a small country are not talented, and they are willing to pour wine for adults." "Pick up the flask.
"Bastard! You are just a slave of a slave, what right do you have to pour wine for your master? Get down! Although Xin Du couldn't understand Chinese, he knew what the other party meant.
He was deflated in front of Li Luo, and he had already decided to vent his anger at the monarchs and ministers of the Japanese Kingdom.
Seeing that the Mongolian marshal was angry, Kujo Zhongjiao still stubbornly said: "Dashuai, although my lord is a prisoner of Chu, he is the king of a country after all, and he is going to Dadu to see the emperor of Dayuan, please ...... Dashuai."
Xin Du was very tired of hearing this large string of incomprehensible Chinese, and knew that the other party dared to stop him, and suddenly had a murderous intent.
"Someone! Drag it down and decapitate! β
"Wow!" Two Mongol warriors immediately stepped forward.
The Japanese monarchs and ministers present were all shocked when they saw this situation.
Li Luo saw that the goal had been achieved, and immediately said in Mongolian: "Xindu Badu, and slow down, noble master, why should you be like a lowly minion." Today, most of the country is still in the hands of the Hojo clan. If you kill people indiscriminately, it will provoke a popular uprising, and it will not be conducive to the later surrender. β
Xin Du sneered: "Hmph, hunters don't need to surrender their prey, the killing of warriors will naturally make them obedient like lambs." β
Li Luo raised his glass and said, "However, when I surrendered them, I promised to send them to Dadu safely." Please also pull out the capital, don't make it difficult to do it. β
Xin Du thought about it and felt that it was better to sell Li Luo a face, at least on the surface, it should not be too stiff for the time being. Before he came, the Great Khan had explained that everything was based on the overall situation.
"Okay, Ben Shuai won't meet them." Xin Du nodded indifferently and restrained the warriors from making a move.
The Japanese monarchs and ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be grateful to Li Luo. Although Li Luo was a conqueror, he was undoubtedly much better than this Mongol general.
Why did Li Luo help the Japanese monarch and ministers? Because he will still be used by the Japanese monarchs and ministers in the future.
Xin Du drank a few glasses of wine sullenly, and asked, "Under the command of Xiao Jiubadu, how many soldiers and horses are left now?" β
"Thirty thousand." Li Luo said without thinking, "It's not a water master." β
Xin Du nodded. Well, 30,000 soldiers and horses are indeed a loss of most of them. However, Xin Du still proposed to go to the military camp to have a look and reward the soldiers on behalf of the Great Khan.
Li Luo had already prepared, of course, he was not afraid or refused to go to see Xindu.
As soon as the banquet ended, Xin Du and other Mongolian generals, accompanied by Li Luo, went to the camp of the Eastern Army.
Soon Xin Du and the others determined that there were only 30,000 land divisions under Li Luo's command. They are all veterans in the army, and how many soldiers and horses can naturally be seen very differently.
"The last general, Zheza, has seen the handsome Xindu!" When Zhezha saw Xindu, he hurriedly saluted, not daring to slack off at all.
"Xiao Jiu Badu, this Zhezha is a Mongolian general. The Great Khan said that all the Mongol Semu armies should be assigned to our department. Xiao Jiuba won't object, right? Xin Du smiled smugly for the first time. This is one of his killer moves.
Of course, he didn't dare to be pretentious, the Great Khan did say this.
How can the Mongol army be handed over to the Goryeo commanders? That's just a stopgap measure. Now that he is here, where is Li Luo still qualified to continue to lead the Mongolian warriors? Isn't that a joke?
"Haha, Xin Duba laughed. Zhezha was originally a subordinate of Xindu Batu. It's just a temporary overview. Now that you're here, the Zheza Department is naturally at your disposal. Li Luo smiled indifferently.
This one was also expected by him. How could the Yuan court continue to let him command the Mongol army?
Transferred Zheza, there was no cavalry under his command, just under the pretext of not fighting a hard battle, he only did a partial division to attack the empty Kansai, and threw the hard bones of the Kanto shogunate to Xin Du to gnaw. Then after a while, you can find an excuse to leave Japan.
Hehe, he can't wait.
ps: From the bottom of my heart, I don't like a man like Li Luo either, it's too treacherous. Crab everyone's support, good night!
