Chapter 603: Who said that the troops are insufficient

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, in history, starting from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo, that small place always consumed too much population and resources, and after each conquest, there was always such and such turmoil in China.

The small North Korea seemed to be a source of chaos, so this rule was set, and the small court of North Korea was indeed respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and did not dare to have the slightest disobedience, and it also made people not interested in conquest.

Speaking of which, Zhenjiang Fort is the starting point of the border wall of Liaozhen, in addition to preventing the infestation of the Tartars, this wall also has a significance, that is, for North Korea, once in the time of the Hongzhi Emperor, the Korean envoys proposed in the imperial court, the annual tribute route is from Zhenjiang Fort to Kuandian, and then enter Beijing at Shanhaiguan. For them whose central city is in Seoul, it is indeed a very troublesome road, can you ask the court of the Ming Dynasty to allow them to take the sea route instead, starting from Incheon to reach Tianjinwei, which is much more convenient.

At that time, the ministers of the imperial court felt that this matter did not matter, and the Korean Wenchen was ready to take out the map to change the route, at this time, someone from the military department came out and said that Emperor Taizu set this route that day, and he had to pass through more than a dozen large guard towns along the way, which must have a deep meaning, or deterrence or defense.

After these words were spoken, no one said that there was a proposal to change the route, which also shows that the Ming Dynasty has always been wary of North Korea, but because it is a neighboring country, it is disdainful of the army that North Korea can be called a joke, and at the same time, because of various examples in history, there is a sense of fear and mystery about North Korea.

All kinds of complex perceptions are intertwined, so that the generals of the Ming army are extremely awkward in their hearts as soon as they hear that they are going to move troops against North Korea, Qiu Feng thought that Huazhou's momentum is so good, if it is involved, it will fall apart, wouldn't it be unlucky at that time, Qiu Feng said this, he already knew in his heart, if Huazhou really had this idea, he must be advised to stop, and he didn't expect this sentence to be asked.

Liu Shisan, who was watching the busy people on the ice immediately, couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head and asked:

"What did you say?"

Qiu Feng's heart sudden, thinking that his rash question made Liu Shisan angry, but this matter is indeed a big deal, a matter of life and death, he Qiu Feng has already tied himself to the chariot of Huazhou, if the chariot overturns slightly, then he will be crushed, and he doesn't care whether the other party is happy or not, so he said again:

"General Liu, I see the transfer of troops, the work of the people, and it is in this Zhenjiang Fort, and the target can only be North Korea, General Liu, I Qiu Feng also know that this should not be said, but this North Korea is an ominous place, and it cannot be fought! My Huazhou army is flourishing, why bother in this small land......"

He showed sincerity on his face, and his words were eagerly divided, but he didn't expect Liu Shisan to slowly turn into stunned from a stunned moment just now, and then stay there stunned, after a long time, this sluggishness turned into laughter, and the two of them went out in cold weather, and everyone was cold enough.

I didn't want to say anything more right away, but at this time, I burst out laughing, which made Qiu Feng a little overwhelmed, I didn't know what I said wrong, Liu Shisan finally stopped laughing, took a few breaths to stabilize his mind, and said:

"Lao Qiu, you can really do it, say that you want to fight North Korea."

Qiu Feng was already a little angry when he was laughed at by Liu Shisan, thinking that he regarded the major affairs of Bingge as child's play, and what future could he have in the future, but he didn't expect Liu Shisan's laughter there for a while, controlling the horses a little, getting closer to Qiu Feng, and reaching out to pat Qiu Feng's shoulder.

Liu Shisan's age is much younger than Qiu Feng, although his position is far greater than Qiu Feng, the two sides also maintain this kind of official etiquette, because of the age difference, the two sides rarely do such actions, at this time Liu Shisan patted him on the shoulder, obviously thinking that although this Qiu Feng is a general, it is too interesting to talk and do things.

"North Korea is still a place where we still need to fight, and it has long been our territory!"

Hearing this, Qiu Feng opened his mouth wide at the time, and didn't know what to say, for these Ming army generals, the concept of Huazhou is those reclamation manors north of the side wall, although I heard that the Huazhou army always said Huazhou Beifu, it sounded quite awkward, thinking that it was his own land to claim the king, and such a big place outside the gate was also made out of Beifu, the size of the projectile land, but they didn't expect that North Korea was already their territory.

But outside the wall and the Korean Peninsula, it is completely untouchable, when was it knocked down, it was a long time ago, North Korea already belonged to Huazhou, but so far away, how can the two sides communicate and contact, is it not possible to fly from the sky, thinking about such a large two forces under their noses to communicate, but not being discovered by themselves, there is really a creepy feeling.

After Liu Shisan finished laughing, he also patted his forehead and said:

"This is also our negligence, the origin and scale of Huazhou will not be explained to you in detail."

Speaking of this, Liu Shisan also smiled a little self-defeatingly, and continued:

"This North Korea was no longer there five years ago, beyond the border wall is Hwashu Bukfu, and the center of Hwashu is the original North Korean Seoul......"

Speaking of how Huazhou has grown from a small team of a few hundred people to the current scale, every Huazhou general is willing to talk about it, and introduce it to people who don't know the details, the feeling of showing off, and the sense of accomplishment of participating in it, no matter what you do, it can't be compared.

Qiu Feng, who listened there, seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights, all kinds of things were so unbelievable, it turned out that there was such a vast world on the sea, and there was such a vast land and unheard of countries by boat from Korea to the border wall, thousands of miles away from the north.

The work by the river has been arranged, Liu 13 led Qiu Feng to complete the inspection, the more Liu 13 said, the more elated, Qiu Feng was also willing to listen, the two of them simply came to the temporary wooden house, there are braziers and wine and food in the wooden house, it is much warmer and more comfortable inside than outside, two people and two leaders of the Huazhou army walked in, and continued to talk about the situation in Huazhou word by word.

Suddenly, the flames of the brazier shook abnormally, and then some fine dust fell from the beams, and the wooden house began to shake slightly, and a rumbling sound could be heard in the distance, Qiu Feng felt that something was wrong, reached out and touched the knife by his side, and was about to rush out, but was pulled by Liu Shisanyi on the side, with a relaxed look on his face, and said with a smile:

"Don't panic, how can there be soldiers and horses from other families in this realm?"

After finishing speaking, a few people Shi Shiran walked out of the door, the busyness on the river has almost stopped, the cold winter wax moon, the Yalu River has been frozen extremely tightly, and it is completely possible to walk on it, but Ding Zhuang according to the arrangement, split many big trees, and then nailed them into big logs, these woods are constantly watered, frozen very hard, and then the raft and the raft are nailed together with big wooden pegs.

The shore has long been cleared of the former official roads, and in some potholes, because the ground is stiff, it cannot be filled, and it is directly filled with broken wood.

At the beginning, Qiu Feng thought that this was for the preparation of the Huazhou army to march to North Korea, but at this time, it seemed that it was not, as soon as a few of them came out of the wooden house, they looked towards the place where the rumbling sound was made, it was originally a snow-white place, and I don't know when a large number of people and horses appeared.

There was a whole team of soldiers, a large number of cavalry, and carriages and baggage, which were coming neatly towards this side, and the rumbling sound and the tremor of the ground were the sounds made by the movement of this army and horses, which showed how large the army was.

After arriving at the riverside, I had done experiments with cannons, and the ice surface bombarded by heavy artillery was only a little damaged at most, and it would not collapse at all, and it was already frozen and solid.

However, the march of the army is on the river, but I don't dare to have any luck, so I added a layer of large wooden rafts on the river, and connected it with iron chains, just because I am afraid that the ice surface will be crushed by artillery and baggage, this is actually a perfect idea, the ice at this time is extremely strong, and the tanks can drive after hundreds of years, not to mention the artillery of this era.

After the opposing army stood on the riverside, it began to cross the river in batches, and at this time it could only be a step, not a march in unison, otherwise the shaking would be too great, and it would be easy to be in danger. Whoever crosses the river first and who comes after the soldier will naturally be assigned and dispatched by an officer.

Several knights took the lead in the queue and ran towards this side through the wooden bridge on the river, Liu Shisanyi was on the horse, and someone around him had already erected a big flag as a sign, Liu Shisan looked at the army preparing to cross the river, and said with pride and Qiu Feng in his tone:

"I heard that in Liaozhen, they all said that Huazhou has insufficient troops, the territory is narrow, I am afraid that it will not be able to become a big weapon, now it is really a joke, there are 70,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still strong soldiers in Yizhou Nanyang."

While he was talking, the people from Jiang's side had already arrived, and several knights on the horse turned over and dismounted in unison, and saluted Liu Shisan:

"Huazhou's army of 60,000, cross the river today, please General Dingbei to check!"

Liu 13 solemnly changed his salute on the horse, and then said solemnly:

"General Yang regiment has worked hard in training, please rectify the soldiers and horses crossing the river and march west as soon as possible!"
