Similar to Zhang Fu's British Gong Yi line, Mu Ying's Qianguo Gong Yi line was also loyal to the old Zhu family and died in battle to the last person, and the last Qianguo Gong Mu Tianbo died in Myanmar with Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang.

The father of Mu Sheng, the current Duke of Qianguo, is called Mu Ying, and there is another name called Zhu Ying, who is the adopted son of Zhu Chongba.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Mu Ying, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu led 300,000 troops to conquer Yunnan, and since then they have been guarding Yunnan until they were posthumously named the king of Qianning.

Mu Sheng, who inherited the title of Marquis of Xiping in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, had a good relationship with Zhu Laosi, but his ability was slightly worse, not only inferior to the late King Mu Ying of Qianning, but even his half-brother Mu Chun.

In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Laosi ordered Mu Sheng to be the deputy general of Zhengyi, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, divided his troops to attack Annan, Mu Sheng attacked from Yunnan, and Zhu Neng attacked from Guangxi. However, Zhu Neng died of illness on the way, and Zhang Fu, who was still the Marquis of Xincheng at the time, took over his position, and the two met in Baihe, conquered the important town of Duobang, and captured Li Ji, and awarded the title of Duke of Qianguo.

Later, Jiaozhi's Jianding rebelled, and Zhu Laosi counted that there was Mu Sheng when he was in Jiaozhi last time, so he simply asked Mu Sheng to lead the army to fight against General Zhengyi's seal.

As a result, the two sides fought in the Jujiang River, Mu Sheng was defeated, and then Zhang Fu led the army to discuss with Mu Sheng, captured Jian Ding and sent him to Beijing.

After that, Zhang Fu returned to Beijing and left Mu Sheng to continue to search for Chen Jikuo, but Mu Sheng could not be captured in many battles. Zhang Fu once again led the army out to join Mu Sheng, pursued until Zhancheng, captured Chen Jikuo, and then returned to the court.

In short, Mu Sheng's ability to fight is not very good, and he has relied on Zhang Fu's help several times to gain a firm foothold in Yunnan and Burma.

But Mu Sheng ordered the barbarians in Fuzhou to rebel, Mu Sheng led the army to encircle and suppress, and before he could attack, he sent people to Xiaoyi Dayi, and even made them surrender......

In addition, it is very easy to do Myanmar, Zhu Laosi has never taken Myanmar seriously, the so-called land reform and return to the stream, in fact, is not as troublesome as imagined, especially when the Ming Dynasty is in full swing.

At this time, there is no so-called national consciousness at all, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty is in the strongest period, if you can get the household registration of the Ming Dynasty, you will become the people of the Ming Dynasty from now on, and enjoy the treatment that you didn't even dare to think about before, and those poor ghosts will not hesitate to kill the head of the people they used to regard as gods.

Therefore, the most troublesome thing in the whole land reform is actually how to spread the news and let those natives know that as long as they kill the head, they can become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

And the reason for this trouble is that the people of Shuntianfu Yunyunnan are basically in a state where others can't understand what he says, and he can't understand what others say, even if both sides use Fengyang official dialect to communicate, in the end, they can't escape the result of chickens and ducks.

However, there is Mu Sheng in the Ming Dynasty, and there are those soldiers under the command of the Qianguo Mansion.

These people have been rooted in Yunnan for decades, and they will not have any pressure to communicate with the local people, which is more reliable than the imperial court sending personnel alone.

So now when he heard that he was going to engage in Myanmar, Zhang Fu felt that he would simply call Mu Sheng over and ask.

……

Zhu Laosi wanted to get Mu Sheng to Shuntian Mansion, first he had to send someone to Yunnan to announce the decree, and then Mu Sheng set off after getting ready, and when Mu Sheng arrived at Shuntian Mansion, the time was already in mid-June.

At this time, Zhu Laosi couldn't take care of Mu Sheng anymore.

At the beginning of June of the 17th year of Yongle, Jinyiwei got the news one step ahead of Liu Jiang, the chief military officer of Liaodong, and found out that more than 2,000 Japanese people had gathered on Wangjia Island in the southeast of Wanghaipo, preparing to go to Jinzhouwei to plunder.

Therefore, when the chief military officer Liu Jiang was preparing for battle, the envoy Yi Xiao sent by Zhu Laosi also arrived at Wanghaipo.

Yi Xiao admired Liu Jiang very much.

Really speaking, unlike when Zhu Chongba was alive, in the era of Zhu Laosi, many generals with great achievements in the Ming Dynasty were actually not very famous.

I can't blame anyone else for this, I can only blame Zhu Laosi for driving the expedition at every turn, and when he was in a hurry, he copied the knife himself, and almost all the dazzling halos were snatched away by Zhu Laosi.

However, there are a few exceptions.

For example, Zhang Fu, who has made several expeditions to Jiaozhi, was once called the Great Demon King by the people of Jiaozhi by relying on the great ferocity of Jiaozhi, and Li Bin, who is also a good hand in war, does not have this kind of treatment.

Another example is this Liaodong Chief Military Officer Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang, who was born in Suqian, Jiangsu, can't see much poetry and painting in Jiangnan, on the contrary, Liu Jiang is definitely a ruthless person.

He followed the Ming Dynasty's founding general Xu Da to crusade against Mongolia, and assisted Zhu Laosi, who was still the king of Yan, to defend Beiping, and then followed Zhu Di to create Emperor Jianwen's rebellion, "Jingyan Battle" in three years many times charged, out of the limelight, after Zhu Laosi ascended the throne, followed the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, and made a lot of contributions.

It can be said that from Xu Da to Zhu Di, China's most capable military strategist, he has followed and fought, from cavalry battles to infantry battles and even water battles, he has also seen them one after another, from Arutai in Tatar to Mahamu in Wara, he has bravely stumbled to the death.

mixed up with Yang Shaofeng a lot, Yi Xiao's thinking began to change unconsciously, and he admired these generals who fought for the country, so when he saw Liu Jiang, Yi Xiao put his posture very low, and he did not have the clear and tall appearance of Hanlin at all.

Liu Jiang also likes that Yi Xiao does not have the sour smell of ordinary scholars, but has a sense of boldness, coupled with the glorious history of killing the emperor of the Japanese Kingdom, Liu Jiang likes it even more.

On the evening of 14 June, Liu Jiang received a report from the lookout post that a fire had been found on Wangjia Island in the southeast.

Liu Jiang took the wine glass and drank it all, rubbed his hands and smiled: "After waiting for so many days, these dwarves are finally here!" ”

Seeing that Yi Xiao still looked calm, Liu Jiang couldn't help but smile and said, "According to Yi Hanlin's opinion, how should we take precautions?" ”

Yi Xiao smiled: "Mr. Liu, is this going to test me?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yi Xiao said with a smile: "If the Japanese want to come to Wanghai, they must come by boat, so is General Liu planning to cut off his back road and then annihilate it?" ”

Liu Jiang clapped his hands and smiled: "If you hadn't been with the old man, I would have wondered if someone had revealed the old man's arrangements to you."

That's right, that's what the old man planned. As long as their ships are burned, these widows will not want to run anymore. ”

Yi Xiao nodded and said, "Mr. Liu is a good method!" ”

Liu Jiang smiled modestly and said, "If you really talk about it, the old man still admires you even more, Yi Hanlin, and beheaded the emperor of the Japanese country on the Japanese island, which is really uplifting!" Lift your breath! ”

Yi Xiao said with a gloomy face: "These dwarfs have never done much to do things. I've heard that these dwarfs have robbed North Korea, thrown North Korean babies into boiling water for fun, or killed pregnant women in North Korea, speculating whether the baby was male or female. ”

Liu Jiang picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and sneered: "These dwarf people are not even as good as livestock, how can they do human things?" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Jiang's eyes were a little red, and he drank another glass of wine violently before he said with red eyes: "The trouble of the Japanese is actually not only in our dynasty, but has existed since the time of Mengyuan.

The things you heard, they didn't just do it in North Korea, in fact, they also came to the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the great grandfather and the prince of Xinguo are mighty, and they have never been used to these dwarfs, as long as they dare to come, we will dare to fight, so it is better than when Meng Yuan was in time.

Fuck it, these dwarfs are like a few extra legs, they're very good at running, and when they can beat you, they'll come to burn and loot, and if they can't beat you, they'll run! ”

Yi Xiao picked up the wine jug, filled Liu Jiang's cup with wine again, and said: "Then kill them all, not a single one of the Japanese will be spared, and if the department is killed, there will be no more Japanese criminals." ”

Liu Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "How can you kill it all?" Even if the Japanese are killed this time, there will be the next wave of Japanese invaders, unless they go to the Japanese country and kill all of them! ”

Yi Xiao nodded and said, "Kill this wave, and then talk about the next wave." When His Majesty really sent troops to take over the land of Shimane, then my Ming Dynasty can be regarded as having his own territory in the Wa Kingdom, and it will be much easier to arrest the Wako when the time comes. ”

Liu Jiang picked up his wine glass and greeted Yi Xiao and said, "So, if you can kill the little dwarf who dares to call himself the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, I admire you!" Please! ”

Yi Xiao picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and then showed the bottom of the glass to Liu Jiang, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow when I go to war, I will follow Liu Zongbing to listen to the dispatch, how about it?" ”

Liu Jiang shook his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "Don't think that the old man will agree if he drinks too much!" Do you want to get the old man drunk, and then get the old man to agree to your fight? You think beautifully!

It is true that you slaughtered the emperor of the Japanese Kingdom, but you are still a weak scholar, if it weren't for the Jinyi Guard at that time, and the sentence you shouted at the time, the country would be destroyed, I am afraid that you would have been chopped into meat paste by the Japanese slaves.

You don't have to go anywhere tomorrow, just stay in the city, wait for Lao Liu to slaughter all the widows, and come back to you for a drink. ”

Yi Xiao looked at Liu Jiang, who was half-drunk and half-awake, and had to sigh helplessly, and said: "Xiaguan is really not those weak scholars who are powerless. ”

Seeing that Liu Jiang was still bragging, I would casually listen to the inappropriate expression, Yi Xiao simply got up, walked to the weapon rack next to him and picked up a spear, danced a spear casually, and said with a smile: "Does Mr. Liu know who my master is?" ”

Liu Jiang nodded and said, "Yang is crazy, no one in the whole Ming Dynasty knows him." ”

Yi Xiao nodded and said, "My master once passed me on my marksmanship all the way, and today it opened Mr. Liu's eyes!" ”
