Chapter 492, Expedition to the Wa Kingdom

On the wharf of Tianjin Port, the Dafu ships and galleons are neatly arranged, and on the wharf, a group of Ming soldiers are wearing armor made by Miyun Iron Factory, holding sharp blades made by Miyun Iron Factory, and they are all in good spirits.

There was another battle, and this time it was to attack the Japanese and eliminate the Japanese and pirates.

Compared with the grassland people, the pirates of the Japanese country are nothing at all, and the Ming people have not taken them in their eyes at all, not to mention that the current Ming army is also different from the past.

Not only is it equipped with a shotgun for a cannon, but there was no way to even do cotton armor before, but now everyone is wearing armor produced here in Miyun Iron Factory.

The weapons in the hand, there was no way to use the weapons issued by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court before, but now, all of them are elite weapons forged by the Miyun Iron Factory, and there are a large number of cannons and firecrackers on the big ships.

It can be said that the weapons and equipment of the Ming army are definitely the top, the most first-class and the best weapons and equipment in the world in this era.

Weapons and equipment are nothing, what really makes these Ming troops excited one by one is to be able to get promoted and make a fortune, last year to kill the steppe Tartar, a Tartar head is worth 100 taels of silver, many people became rich overnight, after a big war, one by one to achieve salted fish turned over.

Now the command of the Ming army has been collected into the hands of the Son of Tomorrow, the Son of Heaven did not say to them who were soldiers, the military salary is paid in full every month, directly through the first bank of the Ming Dynasty, and every soldier can receive his own military salary directly from the first bank of the Ming Dynasty every month, which avoids the fact that the military salary is deducted by the superior officers.

Through these things, it is also for everyone to see the hope, to see the hope of being a soldier, this hope, the spirit is completely different, one by one, full of energy, shaky to try, I can't wait to fly to the country of Wa now, kill the Quartet.

This time for the expedition to the Wa Kingdom, Emperor Hongzhi did not send too many troops, and mobilized 40,000 troops from the border army, plus 10,000 new troops from the Ming Royal Military Academy in Tianjin, to make up a number of 50,000.

The reason for the mobilization of the border army is that the border is very peaceful now, and last year the army of the little prince was completely annihilated, which shocked the entire grassland, and also deeply shocked the grassland people, so that the grassland people were greatly injured, and they did not dare to approach the border for half a step at all.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in mobilizing 40,000 border troops now.

The 10,000 new army was mainly to transfer them to the side of the Japanese kingdom to join forces, although it had only been trained for more than two months, but the bloodless army was always an immature army, let them go to the side of the Japanese country to test the water and see the situation of this new army.

At this time, at the wharf where the new army was located, 10,000 new troops were dressed in uniform and brand-new New Army uniforms, and the ranks were neatly arranged, and the soldiers of the New Army were carrying the nearest flintlock muskets, and there were bright bayonets in front of the muskets.

There was a hint of expectation on their immature faces, and there was also a trace of fear in their eyes.

There are too many, too many uncertainties about war, and no one knows what will happen, and you have to be prepared to sacrifice when you go to the battlefield.

"Zhang Gong, it's time to go~"

Yang Yun was wearing a suit of armor and came to Zhang Mao's side with resolute steps and said.

"Departure~"

Zhang Mao nodded and ordered.

In this expedition to the Wa Kingdom, Emperor Hongzhi appointed the British Duke Zhang Mao as the commander of the army, and Yang Yun as the vanguard general.

"Yes~"

Po Hou replied respectfully, and then an order was given, and the 50,000 troops began to board the ship in an orderly manner, and there was no sound in the entire Tianjin port at this time except for the sound of these troops boarding the ship.

Outside the port of Tianjin, there was a sea of people, and countless people watched the army go out, and they were all very excited, and they were finally going to use force against the Japanese state.

"Let's go~"

Zhang Mao watched the army board the ship and said to Liu Jin beside him.

Originally, Liu Jin didn't have to go to the Wa Kingdom, but how could Zhang Mao let Liu Jin go, so there was no way, Liu Jin also had to follow the army to the Wa Kingdom, and Zhang Mao gave Liu Jin a position as a dog-headed military division.

Liu Jin looked back at the Tianjin port behind him, and saw at a glance that his two flowery wives were bidding farewell to him with tears in their eyes, Xu Wan'er was already with a big belly, and she was about to give birth in two months, Liu Jin estimated that he would definitely not be able to catch up. Book bar

In my heart, I couldn't help but write down this money fiercely, and after settling the accounts after the autumn, I will definitely pit Zhang Mao once in the future.

"Bell~Bell~"

Soon, in the port of Tianjin, a burst of bells began to ring continuously, and the big ships slowly left the port, and soon formed a huge team on the sea, sailing towards the east with great momentum.

The 50,000 army went on the expedition, and the Ming court directly requisitioned thousands of large ships, which were not only used to transport 50,000 troops, but also needed to transport larger materials.

The amount of grain, gunpowder, horses, grain and grass needed by the 50,000 army was very large, and in the follow-up, there was a steady stream of commercial houses from Tianjin to the Japanese state.

Thousands of big ships set out on the expedition, lying on the sea, when you are in it, at a glance, there are ships everywhere, thousands of sails are competing, people can't help but boil their blood, the book is angry, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing to the country, inspiring words, and the dung of the ten thousand households in the year.

On the 'Huo Qu Sick' that Liu Jin was riding, Liu Jin stood on the deck, holding on to the railing, looking at the scene above the sea, and the words of the great man of later generations also appeared in his mind.

When I used to read this poem, I always couldn't understand the artistic conception in it, but now looking at this mighty army, Liu Jin can finally appreciate the feeling in it.

"Teach the Japanese a lesson that the Japanese state is going to send an army of 50,000, which is really a bit of a feeling of killing chickens and using a knife."

Soon, Liu Jin's thoughts also returned to the matter of this conquest of the Japanese Kingdom.

As the dog-headed military advisor of the army, Liu Jin was also very panicked, whether it was in later generations or this time, Liu Jin did not have any military experience, let alone being a dog-headed military advisor to the 50,000 army.

If this is good, it will naturally be famous in history, if it is not good, maybe it will be scolded by future generations as Zhao Kuo, Li Jinglong and the like.

Laymen guiding insiders is the most taboo thing in military affairs.

So Liu Jin also pulled Wang Shouren this time, Wang Shouren doesn't look at his young age, and he is a literati, but he is definitely a genius in military affairs.

In history, King Ning Zhu Chenhao rebelled, Wang Shouren was the governor of Jiang and Jiangxi at that time, he directly pressed King Ning in Nanchang, before the imperial army arrived, King Ning's rebellion had been quelled by Wang Shouren, just from here you can know that Wang Shouren's military talent is definitely not inferior to the famous generals in history.

Take Wang Shouren, there is really something, at a critical moment, it will definitely not be wrong to listen to the opinions of this historical bull, as for himself, well, it is still interesting to see and listen more, at most it is to give some small suggestions in combination with some military knowledge known by future generations.

However, Liu Jin felt that the Ming Dynasty dispatched an army of 50,000 armed to the teeth, coupled with the advanced artillery and muskets manufactured by the Miyun Iron Factory, there should be no problem in easily crushing the Japanese State.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was at the beginning of the Warring States Period, and the Wa King of the Wa Kingdom had already lost control of various parts of the Wa Kingdom a long time ago, without any actual power, and the daimyo of each region were divided into one side.

In the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom, although the later generations of Wa people boasted of a very bullish fork, what kind of heroes were born in an era, but in Liu Jin's view, the place of the Wa Kingdom is too small, and it is said that it is the Warring States, but in fact, it is just a village fight between the daimyo from all over the country.

Many times, in a battle, the number of people is a few hundred, and a battle with thousands of people is considered a big war, as for tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people fighting, there are few battles throughout the entire Warring States Period.

The daimyo in various places divided one side and were hostile to each other, which was definitely a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, and the 50,000 army arrived in the Wa Kingdom, which was definitely a sideways existence, and it was easy enough to bulldoze any daimyo in the Wa Kingdom.

"The Wa State is still the best Wa State in the Warring States Period, and the division of various places is the best state, and we must find a way to maintain such a state."

"In the future, if you want to deepen your control and intervention in the Wa Kingdom, it is best to take advantage of this opportunity to define the sphere of influence of the daimyo in various parts of the Wa Kingdom."

Liu Jin's mind quickly thought of how to treat the Wa State in the future, it is best to maintain the division of the Wa State all the time, once the Wa State is unified, this is definitely not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

"To maintain the divided state of the Japanese state, and at the same time to promote Chinese culture, under the dual management of the banner, can fully ensure a safe environment around the Ming Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin knew what to do next, he couldn't fight a war, but after the war, he should negotiate and how to plan the Japanese state, Liu Jin felt that he was still relatively good.

After all, there are too many cases for your own reference and learning in later generations.
