"It's so strange that the Japanese people are fighting, why does the Lord have to sit on the horse? And a curtain around it? Are they afraid of the wind? Carrying the horsewhip and pointing in the direction of the cave household Yuanyuan, Liu Qi asked very curiously. [Full text reading]

"My subordinates don't know, so it's probably not tired, right? Liu...... Oh, no, General Maori, are we going to wait for the siege to start before attacking? Yang Min didn't know the art of war, but he also knew that it would be easier to attack after the battle began.

Liu Qiman waved his hand indifferently, and said: "No need, their formation is scattered enough, and besides, I am bringing Mongolian soldiers, Brother Monkey said, there is no need to feel sorry for the casualties, just kill it directly, I command the soldiers and horses, and wait for you to help me get my name." ”

"That's fine." Yang Min nodded.

"Kill! After winning the war, there is no limit to military discipline, and you can mess around casually for three days...... Well, this is called indiscriminate fishing, yes, it is indiscriminate fishing for three days! ”

Indiscriminate fishing was a phenomenon unique to the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom. As the name suggests, this pattern of behavior is that the army can do anything to civilians, not only the victorious army, but also the losing side, and it can plunder not only the civilians of the opposing side, but also its own people.

Because it is very chaotic, it is named indiscriminately arrested, Liu Qi was born as a horse thief, and he appreciates this model very much, so he deliberately learned the pronunciation of the language.

With Liu Qi's shout in Mongolian, the morale of the Mongolian cavalry quickly climbed to the top, and it has been cool all the way in North Korea.

"Rush!" The sound of horses' hooves roared, and the Mongol cavalry rushed forward with a shout.

The Korean horse raised on Jeju Island does not have the stamina of the Mongolian horse, but it is also a horse, and it is still very powerful in short sprints. The Mongol soldiers all grew up on horseback, and there was no such thing as being accustomed to it, and although the two thousand cavalry were a little scattered, they barely formed a sharp arrow formation and rushed towards the siege coalition not far away.

After a hundred years, the figure of the Mongolian cavalry once again appeared on the land of the Wa Kingdom, but this time, there was no kamikaze to save his life.

"What's that......" Caveto was frightened.

Although he is also a strong man and has seen horses, he has seen relatively few cavalry, not to mention that there are still so many cavalry? Therefore, even if he had already seen the figure of the cavalry in the front, he still asked a very stupid and naïve question.

"Your Highness Caveto, that's cavalry, a lot of cavalry ......" The man who had been sitting on the horse next to him stood up, showing his superior knowledge, and the man's whole body trembled.

That's right, a lot of cavalry, even if An Yun ...... No, if you add up all the horses in the Shanyin and Shanyang regions, there may not be so many, not to mention the movements of the cavalry on the horses, they are obviously well-trained, don't you see? Not only were they wearing leather armor, but they were also firing their bows and arrows on their horses!

"Amakasu is on the ......" A large force of cavalry suddenly killed from behind, a rain of arrows from the black pressure that fell from the sky, and the earth trembled in the smoke and dust in the sky, in addition to trembling, what can the cavemen do?

Let the soldiers turn around and meet the enemy? That's impossible, in order to attack the city, the samurai are all rushing in front, and there is only a group of ashigaru behind, how can they complete such a difficult tactical move?

What's more, seeing the sudden slaughter of the cavalry, even the samurai are showing signs of collapse, let alone these ashigaru? It was still the early Warring States period, and the monkeys of Takeda Mountain had not yet rushed out of Kai, and the Japanese had no experience in dealing with cavalry at all.

The rain of arrows fell, although it was not very dense and the accuracy rate was not high, but this sudden blow still made the unarmored Wakoku Ashigaru suffer heavy casualties, and the ashigaru in the front began to rout, and the troops in the middle were in a dilemma, a few samurai had desperate strength, but unfortunately they were too far away and had no time to defend at all.

"Who is here?"

Cave Cave Yuan Yuan wailed unwillingly, if he could, he wanted to escape, but he couldn't, not because of responsibility or anything, but his own formation was in the middle of the army, and he couldn't run if he wanted to.

And as the main general, he deliberately put on the ancestral armor of the family, this thing is made of bamboo, although the defense is not very good, but the weight is really not light, otherwise why would he have been sitting on the horse? It's too heavy!

The most frustrating thing is that this thing is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, the opponent's cavalry rushed too fast, and after two rounds of arrow rain, the striker has already cut into the rear, and then it is like a knife cutting tofu to his side, and it is too late to run.

Therefore, there is only one last wish left for the cave family Yuanyuan, that is, to know who he died at, and to die blindly.

"The Maori family is old, and Maori Kogoro is involved!"

There was a loud roar from the cavalry, the tone was a little weird, and the cave man Yuanyuan heard it clearly, this seems to be the accent of Kyushu, when did the Maori family have such an old family?

The name is so weird, it must be fake! You know, the custom of this book is that after you have a status, you will change your majestic name, and even your surname will be changed, and the name Kogoro is no problem, but it is very inappropriate to put it on an old man who can lead thousands of cavalry.

Most importantly, how could the Maori family afford to raise so many cavalry? Not to mention the cavalry, even if it is a thousand sheep, with their little strength, they may not be able to afford it!

Despite the revelation of the truth, the grievances of Anado Gengen can only be dispersed with the wind, after all, people with big fists can make rules, although his coalition army is numerous, but it is not very useful to fight, under the charge of the Mongolian cavalry regardless of casualties, the coalition army quickly collapsed, and he also died under the hooves of the cavalry.

This is also something that can't be helped, the defense of the bamboo armor is really not very good, and the knife in the enemy's hand is too sharp.

…… Outside the port of Noshima, the fleet gathered.

"Brother Ma, Xiao Qi sent someone to report, Maori's side has been resolved, and after collecting the defeated troops and settling the situation, you can march to Iwami."

After reporting the situation, the monkey said disdainfully: "The Japanese soldiers really can't help fighting, and they don't have brains, those warriors actually have some combat effectiveness, but they want to mix with a lot of militia, isn't it stupid?" However, the military system of our Ming Dynasty is similar, and those scholars who claim to be learned Confucians, but they turn out to be at the same level as the devils of the Japanese Kingdom, which is really stupid. ”

"Hmph, they're going to retire from the stage of history soon." Ma Ang snorted disdainfully, and ordered: "Set sail back to the five islands." ”

"In such a hurry?" The monkey was stunned for a moment, "What about Xiao Qi's supplies?" ”

"Let them go and hunt indiscriminately, anyway, they are already good at this, and now that there are many enemies, they should be able to deal with it for a while, so let's talk about it when it's not enough." On the Goto side, we have to guard against pirates, maintain trade routes, and then send people to Sado and Echigo, so how can we do it if we don't hurry? Maang replied casually.

"Sado, Echigo? There's news over there, too? ”

"Well, there are only some natives on Sado Island, it is enough to send five hundred soldiers and horses, the miners are a little troublesome, and some of them can be collected on the North Korean side, but it is not good to be all Koreans, and it is troublesome to transport, so you still have to catch some Japanese people."

Ma Ang nodded, and sighed again: "It's that Changwei family knows each other very well, no wonder Brother Xie took a fancy to it at a glance, but the miners plus the five hundred people stationed on Sado Island, plus the remaining one thousand Mongolian cavalry...... Alas, I have to make several trips, and according to the pre-arrangement, the maritime merchants over there in Tianjin should also come here, and there are many things. ”

"Cut, you're still tired of carrying gold and silver, you really don't know how to be blessed in the blessing, haha." Amid the laughter of the monkeys, the fleet sailed away from Noh Island, and Xie Hong's strategy for the Japanese kingdom was in full swing.

…… Just when the Wa Kingdom was in a mess by Ma Ang, in Port Arthur, three letters were placed on Xie Hong's desk again, and this time the person and content of the letters were a little strange.

"Why are there so many letters? Brother Ma is too, why can't you write a letter all the time? The news of the pirates made Lushun nervous for a while, but this time there were more letters, which made his eyelids jump.

"Two letters were sent to the Governor's Palace by North Korea, and the last one is Brother Ma's, in addition to telling me that the Japanese raid has been carried out smoothly, the content is also related to North Korea's letter." Xie Hong had already finished reading the letter, threw it on the desk casually, and said lazily.

"North Korea? What's the trouble with the stick? ”

"One is for purchase, and the letter is written by the king of Joseon; The other is a whistleblower, and the letter was written by the leader of the DPRK, haha, Brother Jiang, this matter is interesting, right? Xie Hong looked comfortable and smiled heartily.

"These officials in North Korea are the same mold as our Daming! Although the king doesn't deal with us, he still has a bit of backbone, but what kind of leader is this, cutting land and paying compensation and leading the way, tsk, betraying the country and selling this is called a thorough, more exaggerated than those civil officials in Yanjing. ”

"Exaggerated?"

Xie Hong was very unimpressed with Jiang Bin's statement, he sneered: "That's not the time, now Daming is the first power in the world, so they can't find a buyer if they want to sell, so they can only do something to dig the corner, but in the future, if Daming declines...... Hmph, do you think these bureaucrats sell the country? When they sell it, they won't be worse than that Min Yizheng. ”

With the experience of two lifetimes, Xie Hong understands the nature of bureaucracy very well, and it is not as simple as whether these people will sell the country, they are specialized in this.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many typical examples, Min Zhenghao did everything he did, he didn't do it, or what he is doing now, there are also people who have done it, leading the way, informing, killing their own cadres, and even switching and arsoning with the enemy, the doctors of the late Ming Dynasty did all kinds of evil, and there was no need to raise such a trivial matter as surrender.

Therefore, Xie Hong does not intend to give the bureaucrats any chance, and always leaves no room to squeeze the other party's living space.

That's right, if you play politics, you should compromise, but Xie Hong doesn't think of himself as a politician, in line with his grassroots surname, his purpose is to completely sweep the traditional bureaucrats into the garbage heap of history, so he can't compromise.

If he compromises, he will have to give up some of his interests, let the old bureaucrats into his team, and then subtly transform them. But those bureaucrats are all old foxes, and after they are put in, it is uncertain who will transform them.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift is difficult, the old saying is good, accustomed to privileges and exploiting loopholes, Xie Hong does not have the slightest confidence in those old officials, if it is not for the fear of forcing the other party too quickly, so that he is desperate, he even wants to come here in the capital immediately to change blood.

As for the chaos that will be caused, or that the decree will not work, Xie Hong doesn't care, hmph, is it difficult to be an official? Those people in the officialdom are indeed very knowledgeable, and he himself has not started, but if it is only in terms of political affairs, the technical content is not as high as imagined.

After seeing the shamelessness of the North Korean officials, Xie Hong's conviction was even stronger, and these old bureaucrats who flaunted the banner of Confucian disciples must leave the scene, except for all kinds of intrigues, turning good things into bad things, and bad things into bad things, they will not do anything good to society.

Of course, this matter can't be too urgent, the rope is already on the necks of those people, just tighten it slowly, if it is too fast, it is inevitable that they will not take risks, causing chaos in the world, Xie Hong doesn't want to see that scene.

In addition, it is necessary to identify by the way, so as not to injure good people by mistake, and the old bureaucrats are not all the same kind of goods, and occasionally there are special cases such as Wang Shouren or Hai Rui in later generations, these two people are relatively famous, and perhaps many are unknown, so Xie Hong has no one-size-fits-all plans.

"That's right." Jiang Bin didn't have a good impression of the scholar either, although he couldn't fully understand Xie Hong's resentment, but he didn't have any objections, he was concerned about other issues, "Brother Xie, you said to buy, could it be that the king wants to buy the flywheel battleship?" ”

"Well, on the surface, it was the king's idea, but in fact, it was the plan of the North Sticks, and behind the North Sticks, it is likely that there are still our Ming scholars......" Xie Hong wrenched his fingers and counted them one by one.

"Wow, what a complicated relationship." Jiang Bin smacked his tongue and said.

"It's really a bit mess......y," Xie Hong nodded with affection.

The Jin judgment of the envoy to the Ming Dynasty moved quickly, and he had returned to Hanyang more than half a month ago, and through the Zuo Yizheng, he put forward a request for the purchase of flywheel warships at the court meeting, and obtained Li Yi's approval.

The reason why Li Yi agreed was because of the advice of Zuo Yizheng and was ready to attract foreign aid and boost the country's momentum.

Although Min Zhenghao felt suspicious, he didn't say anything at the court meeting, but found out the movements of Li Mao and Zuo Yizheng through the eyeliner in the palace, and speculated their plans, and even guessed them backstage.

So, in order not to be overwhelmed by the power of Nanbang, but also for his own power, and even more so to curry favor with the Governor's Palace, he did not directly raise objections in the court, but played a trick, that is, to write a letter to tell the truth.

Conspiracy, espionage, whistleblowing, all kinds of conspiracies converge in it, and each participant has their own agenda, can this not be chaotic?

"Then, let's not sell the flywheel battleship, if it is given to the Jiangnan people, won't we use our knives to cut ourselves?" Jiang Bin sighed for a while, and then proposed.

"Why don't you sell it? Originally, I was worried that North Koreans would not have the money to buy it, but now isn't it just right? I'll write back to Brother Ma and ask him to raise the price, ha. Xie Hong snapped his fingers and smiled proudly.

"But ......"

"In order not to make us suspicious, they definitely can't give away everything they buy, so they have to buy more, which is a lot of money. It doesn't matter if the Jiangnan people take it for research after they get it, they will be eliminated anyway, and it can also delay them for a while, and Lushun will also have more time to prepare. ”

Xie Hong smiled sheepishly: "When they come to Lushun, I will give them a good surprise, and then ...... Hehe, someone is going to be unlucky. ”
