Chapter 570: Summer Solstice

One after another, the warships were distinct, the crossbow machines were distinct, and the soldiers with the armor of the guards stood solemnly on the ship, and the light and the sunlight on the sea level seemed to merge into one, so that the Donghu soldiers who were accustomed to fighting and ignoring life and death also felt frightened. They themselves were afraid of the sea, and when they imagined fighting with the southerners on the rocking hull, they suddenly felt creepy, and they had no idea of fighting for power at all. Big ships, small boats, and countless ships are lying on the sea, and the majestic momentum and the power displayed make the Donghu people even more frightened.

It was hard for them to imagine how so many big ships were built, more than a hundred big ships, nearly a thousand small boats, and countless people stood on the boats densely, and they couldn't see their faces from afar, but they seemed to be able to feel those cold eyes.

The Donghu people and the Wei people fought for decades, and the hands of both sides were stained with blood, and the Donghu people wanted to occupy the Great Wei, and did not want to kill the Wei people, but wanted to treat the Wei people as slaves, and then hundreds of thousands of Donghu soldiers could live a good life.

And there is no doubt that if the Wei people become strong again, they will exterminate the Donghu clan as soon as they have the opportunity.

Even if you don't kill the old and weak, you will definitely kill all the men, and the old and weak will be dismissed and resettled, and there will be no more Donghu from now on.

This is not wronged, Donghu is a soldier for all the people, and a man who can get on a horse is a warrior, unless he is too old to ride a horse, otherwise there are young men with high bows and arrows, and decrepit old men will also go to the battlefield at a critical moment.

Many Donghu people have a confused look on their faces, they are not afraid of the vast grassland, they are not afraid of fighting with the elite of the forbidden army in the north of the Wei State, but they are also inevitably beating drums in their hearts when they are asked to ride their horses and hold the south, and fight and fight on the water with these southerners who drive ships on the sea.

At this time, louder cheers sounded on the sea, and Chechen Khan listened for a while, and sighed: "It seems that it is their Qin King Xu Zixian who led the fleet north." ”

Wanyan Zongshu nodded and said, "I heard Yue Zhi mention that this prince is a rare talent in the Wei clan, very popular, very capable, and very powerful. ”

Chechen Khan's face showed a contemplative look, and after half a ring, he said with a solemn face: "Identity is useless, prestige is too empty, but with identity plus prestige, and strength, it will indeed be our strong enemy." ”

The identity of the clan in the Great Wei is only the foundation of the start, which even the Donghu people are quite clear, and the prestige thing, unless there is a certain foundation to realize, is also a useless thing in the eyes of the Donghu people. But when these things are stacked together, the sense of threat is quite large.

Even Chechen Khan sighed: "Its foundation in the south has been established, and its strength is strong, I am afraid that the biggest obstacle for my Donghu army to go south." ”

"If it is a land war, my soldiers will not be afraid of it." Wanyan Zongshu was first proud, and then said cautiously: "If it is a naval battle by water, I am afraid that we will ......."

"We won't be his opponents." Chechen Khan squinted at the sea, this time the more than 10,000 forbidden troops who escaped were nothing, just remnants, Yue Zhi refused to surrender and escaped, which made Chechen Khan even more disappointed, and faintly a little uneasy, things did not develop according to his deployment and control, which made Chechen Khan feel that things were a little out of control, and the sudden chaos and the strong power of the sea made him feel that the development of things might not go according to his vision.

"It's a big problem." Originally, after the big victory, he had been proud and complacent, saying that he was waiting to be whipped into Yanjing, but at this moment, his face was full of uneasiness, he waved his horsewhip and said: "I still have some understanding of the story of the Southern Dynasties, if he leads the warship to guard the Huaishui, let's not talk about it."

After crossing the river, I can't even eat two Huai. We can't eat two Huai, and we can't occupy the south of Henan, and they can't hold it along the river to Jingbei, Henan, and then to Hanzhong and Guanzhong. In this way, we can only steadily occupy the hometown of Liaodong and Yanjing, Hebei, Hedong and Northern Shaanxi, all of which are the ruined places of the Wei State. ”

"I am also familiar with the story of the Wei people." Chechen Khan smiled and said: "The people in the south are weak, the people in the north are strong, and only the Taizu of Wei has done it alone, and Hebei in the Central Plains is the land of the four wars, and only the north can speak the world." This Prince of Kaifu, Qin Wang Xu Zixian, will he always be a Great Wei Taizu again? Let's get the land of the north first, recruit the Han people in the north, fight Sichuan in the west, beat their Yungui by detour, and fight Jingbei in the front, two Huai, and three roads, as long as they penetrate all the way, they can only wait to be unified by my Donghu. If we talk about the sea, we are far behind, and the Han military masters in the north can't get so many ships, but we don't want to dominate the sea, no matter how strong he is at sea, he can't go on land, what's the use? In coastal areas, all the people were relocated and destroyed, and all the villages and towns were destroyed, and if 30 miles did not achieve 50 miles, and 50 miles could not be 100 miles. Just like Liaonan, there is no land and no village for a hundred miles, and once someone goes ashore, he will be immediately discovered by the patrol cavalry, and he dares to attack me, just to see the power of my cavalry. ”

Chechen Khan's words were resolute, resolute, and unquestionable in his self-confidence.

The Donghu nobles around all nodded their heads in agreement with the Great Khan's words.

Thirty years ago, the strength of the Northern Naval Division and the Southern Ocean Naval Division of the Great Wei Dynasty was not small, and the simultaneous development of land and water was also one of the strategies at that time. Don't think that later generations only had the tactics of sea and land cooperation amphibious warfare, in the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo, the land was a million army, and the sea was to Hu'er after leading the fleet directly into its flank, the tactics of water and land cooperation appeared many times before the Tang Dynasty, and it also worked many times. When the Great Wei and Donghu were at war, the sailors also tried to cooperate many times, but as Chechen Khan said, they had no villages and towns at all near the sea in southern Liaoning, and they were barren and uninhabited within a hundred miles, so the officers and soldiers of the sailors had no way to attack, and there was no way to get supplies after they went ashore.

If the officers and men of the naval division dare to go deeper, after the cruising Donghu whistle cavalry returns, the Donghu people can assemble cavalry in southern Liaoning, and they are afraid that if they charge into battle, they will be able to rush across the officers and men of the naval division who dare to go ashore.

After weighing it again and again, the center of the Great Wei at that time did not use the power of the sailors, at most it was to help transfer some supplies, as the south was tightened, the pirate force became more and more difficult to control, a large number of ships and personnel were transferred to the south, and later the Nanyang Sailor was also defeated, and there was no trace of the sailor division in the north.

Of course, even Chechen Khan didn't expect that the powerful sea power in front of him was completely the personal armed forces of Xu Zixian and Wang Zhi, and the relationship with the imperial court was almost unrelated.

……

"The Wa Kingdom has been pacified."

Chen Zuocai and Fang Shaoqun came together, they came from Fuzhou to the Eastern Domain, after all, the pacification of the Wa Kingdom was a major event, and the process at the bottom needed to be instructed by Xu Zixian in person.

"The defeated army assassinated the shogun Ashikaga clan and elected Genji to succeed Sekihaku and not serve as general for the time being." Xu Zixian wore a short robe, sat cross-legged under the wide eaves, the wooden planks under his body were shining, and the wide courtyard in front of him was pleasing to the eye from the green plants and flowers. The weather is a bit hot and humid these days, with rain for days and waves at sea, and it feels like it may enter the typhoon season at the turn of spring and summer at any time.

He looked at the emergency report in his hand and said with a smile: "The practice of the Japanese people."

, the credit for winning the battle is the general's, and the responsibility for losing is also the general's, everyone has their own responsibilities, such as the samurai commander who leads the troops directly on the front line, either he will cut his stomach, or he will be assassinated one after another...... This also makes it easy for the Japanese to not shirk their responsibilities, and outsiders seem to be always responsible, but in fact it is a culture of blame. If you don't kill those directly responsible, or force them to commit suicide, this responsibility will be scattered on everyone's heads, and this black cauldron must be carried on its back, so as not to be assassinated and affect the family. ”

Chen Zuocai didn't say anything, Fang Shaoqun smiled slightly, and said, "Your Highness has been very idle recently, and he has started to talk at length again. ”

Xu Zixian is also smiling, he has recently discovered this problem of his own, it may be that he is waiting for his wife to give birth in the Eastern Domain, and the daily trivial affairs are handed over to Li Yi and other cabinet members to do, he only grasps the general direction now, which is also the reason why Xu Zixian appointed cabinet members and asked them to take care of affairs.

Even if Xu Zixian leaves the Eastern Domain and returns to Fuzhou in the future, or will come to Jiangning or Hongdu to preside over the overall situation of the entire south, too trivial administrative affairs, Xu Zixian will still not interfere more.

Establish a balance of power, a balance in the distribution of wealth, an independence of public opinion so that it can really supervise power, then the people have a channel to rise, try to make the class not serious, and then the perfection and relative independence of the law, the perfection of the system of supervision officials, and so on.

After thinking for a while, Xu Zixian said: "The will of the Japanese people to ask for peace is very firm, and there is no need to doubt anything. ”

Chen Zuocai said with some doubts: "The Japanese people are extreme and cruel, full of wildness, they lost the battle in front of them very badly, but they will fight with us to the end, and 200,000 soldiers and horses can still come out...... They honestly admit defeat like this? ”

"They are cruel to the weak and extreme to themselves. But they are most fearful of the strong, and if we have not landed yet, or if we have fought with them, then more daimyo and samurai will hear the news and fight with us without fear of life and death. But this battle was won quite happily, they were almost pressed and beaten, and nearly 100,000 main forces were wiped out in an instant, and more than 10,000 samurai died. This result is enough to make them afraid, and they feel that the gap between them and us is too big. The Japanese people are very peculiar, they are extremely arrogant and confident before being subdued, but also quite fierce, if they are subdued, the winner will be more pious and loyal than the big man who serves the country, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Japanese people in Baijiangkou, and then the Japanese people are extremely deferential to the Tang Dynasty, extremely respectful. In the previous Sui period, when they wrote to the Sui Emperor, they also claimed to be the Son of Heaven at sunrise and sent a letter to the Son of Heaven at sunset, and their arrogance was incomparable. After the battle with the Tang Army, they immediately obeyed, from the central bureaucracy to architecture, to drinking tea, dressing, calligraphy and so on...... Don't worry, since they killed the general and re-established Guan Bai, it means that they really want to surrender. Our conditions don't have to be too excessive, and I have no intention of annexing the Japanese state, opening up the ports to continue trade, and the daimyo must regularly visit the office of the governor of the Japanese state. The Ouchi family can get more territory of one or two countries, but don't let their appetite go, and if necessary, ask the forces within the Wa Kingdom and the Ouchi family to take the top...... We will accept the fleet of the Kang family, and at least one country will be given to the Kang family, and the name of asking the Japanese people to give the name of the Kang family will be placed behind the Ouchi family...... Then, of course, it is to raise horses, and Ezo land should be regarded as a war reparation for us, and the matter of the Japanese country is over. ”

Chen Zuocai was afraid that he had missed it, and he started to write like a flying record, but Fang Shaoqun listened quietly on the side, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the mental techniques of His Royal Highness King Qin in front of him were already perfect, and he had nothing to fill in.
