"[***] Kim!" Lian Zining shouted in a deep voice.

"Mark it in!" [***] Jin came out of the queue and responded with his fists.

"You take four people now, hurry up and return to Hizen Harbor, and then escort all the remnants of the Goto clan onto the ship, settle down, and then tell the eldest lady and Lord Kang to straighten out all the ships and be ready to set sail at any time!"

"Yes!" Jin received the order and went with a few people!

At this time, all the members of Wu Yijun had already stopped, they carried out Lian Zining's orders very thoroughly, the whole team simply turned a large semicircle in an arc, and the soldiers walked neatly, in the direction of coming, rolling iron flow, and then moving westward.

The officers rode on horseback on both sides of the line, constantly maintaining order and formation, and no other sound could be heard except for the occasional sound of orders and passwords.

It's just silence, but silence is tenacity.

It's like a steel ingot that has been tempered for thousands of years, too heavy to be destroyed.

However, there were naturally some whispers in the ranks, but under a few short orders and reprimands from the officers, those small mutters soon disappeared.

Lian Zining's will is the will of this army, they don't need to think about why, they just need to do what they want.

Such a soldier is simple enough to have more powerful combat effectiveness.

Lian Zining waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the camp of the Tachibana family!" ”

Dozens of horsemen rushed towards the location of the Tachibana Army.

This time, Lian Zining's Wu Yi army and the army of the Tachibana family were one south and one north, like two parallel lines, advancing from west to east, each attacking different cities, and each reaping benefits, so as to avoid conflict.

However, because Iwami Country is so big, the straight-line distance between the two armies is only more than ten miles.

Lian Zining and the others galloped on horseback, and soon arrived outside the camp of the Tachibana family's army.

Those soldiers in Yuanmen naturally recognized the attire of Lian Zining and others, even if they didn't know Lian Zining, they also knew Jiang Li Yena, so they naturally guessed Lian Zining's identity, and knew that these Ming Kingdom adults were distinguished guests, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went in to ask for instructions, and after a while, Tachibana Daoxue personally greeted him.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, entered the big tent, and Lian Zining Ping retreated.

Tachibana Michiyuki knew that he had something important, so he asked, "Lord Lian, is there anything important?" ”

"There is a very important event to say that Lord Thor knows." Lian Zining nodded, and asked with a solemn expression: "Lord Thor, after the last fierce battle with the Godao Clan, how did you dispose of those corpses?" I'm not talking about the corpses of the Ashigaru, but the corpses of the elite and samurai of the Goto clan. ”

"Corpses?" Tachibana Michiyuki was slightly stunned and said, "The head has been cut off, and it is in Tachibana Mountain Castle, and as for the corpses, they have all been thrown into the ground to make fertilizer." ”

Ordinary daimyo would never do this, Fuso believes in Shintoism and pays attention to the complete surname of the corpse, so that the soul can return to its hometown. But Tachibana Michiyuki believes in Christ, so he doesn't care about you, and it's good not to burn you to death! Still the body intact? Dream!

"Oh, that's it!" Lian Zining breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Thor, there is a reluctant invitation below!" ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"Can you give a thousand heads?" Lian Zining said.

"That's fine!" Tachibana Michiyuki said very happily: "It's just, what's the use of adults asking for these heads?" ”

Lian Zining pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I can't hide it, this time I came to Fusang with the will of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Fusang invaded my Ming border and killed my soldiers, this time the emperor ordered to go back with a thousand heads of Fuso warriors! Originally, it was the temple family that had an enmity with the next.,I want to count their heads.,But I just got the news.,There are some changes in the next family.,You have to turn around immediately.,Your Excellency, you understand? ”

Tachibana Michiyuki touched the thick beard on his chin and nodded: "I see, then it should be so." These thousand heads are not worth much, so what does it matter if they are given to adults? It's just that this matter of Iwami Country ......"

Lian Zining said apologetically: "There is really nothing you can do about this matter." ”

It is indeed not very authentic for him to withdraw halfway through this matter, so he said: "Although there are various reasons, this matter is not done right, so Iwami Yinshan's profits are willing to give up half of it, and the Tachibana family is fifty percent five, and it only accounts for four percent of five." ”

Tachibana Michiyuki couldn't help but smile: "I thought that Lord Lian was so generous, but I didn't expect to give only half of the profit." ”

Lian Zining laughed: "How can it be compared to the great cause of His Royal Highness the Thunder God, and those who are in this small family have to instigate it, otherwise they will not be poor jingling?" ”

"But you don't have to give away half of your profits, not only that, but after Iwami Country comes, the gold, silver and jewelry found from the Ouchi clan and those powerful people will be exchanged for silver taels at a discount and sent to Hizen Port! In the future, Iwami Ginshan's profits will not be short at all! Tachibana Michiyuki said.

"Oh?" Lian Zining restrained the smile on his face, offered nothing to be courteous or stealing, and asked, "What is the matter with my lord?" ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people!" Tachibana Michiyuki laughed: "The old man has only one condition. ”

He paused and said, "Please leave some instructors for the old man to teach the old man the art of the phalanx of the soldiers!" ”

Lian Zining sneered in his heart, this is what he really wants!

It turned out that in the past few days, after getting those spears and halberds from Lian Zining, Tachibana Daoxue had already issued an order to select elite soldiers from the army and start practicing the spear phalanx. But that thing looks very simple, but in fact it is quite complicated, the maintenance of formation, the technique of lining up and shooting, and even how to stand in line, how to move forward, how to keep the formation not chaotic, how to shoot and collect the gun, are all very exquisite, without the guidance of a special person, without a long period of rigorous training, it is absolutely impossible to form.

Tachibana Michiyuki is also a soldier of the army, and it can be seen at a glance that this way of combining the spear phalanx with muskets and muskets can maximize the gap in combat effectiveness caused by the physical strength, training, weapons, troops, equipment, etc. In other words, very weak troops, in this way, can compete with strong troops!

And there is no doubt that Fuso's army is not very strong.

Tachibana Michiyuki did an experiment, three hundred ashigaru, equipped with this spear halberd, and equipped with a certain number of musketeers, even if it is the same number of family elites, when facing it, there is also a feeling that a tiger eats a hedgehog and has nowhere to eat, which is quite tricky.

He immediately recognized the huge opportunity.

The Fuso people are short, which is a natural advantage, but the strength is not too small, and the lower plate is solid, and it is most suitable to use this kind of infantry phalanx to fight step by step, so that the gap with other strong armies can be greatly narrowed.

Therefore, now Tachibana Michiyuki wants to train this spear phalanx.

But it's too difficult, I have to ask Lian Zining for help, he doesn't lack time, but what he lacks is someone who knows how to do it.

Lian Zining was hesitating, weighing whether it would be good for him if he was trained out of the spear phalanx by Tachibana Daoxue and his power was greatly expanded.

Seeing him hesitate, Tachibana Daoxue said: "Lord Lian, this is a mutually beneficial thing for you and me, haha, what's the matter, are you still afraid that I will lead troops into Kou Daming in the future?" ”

He was naturally joking, after all, over the years, Fusang has a very high degree of recognition of Middle-earth, and they are all subservient to Huaxia, even if they are not subject countries, but they are often called ministers and tributes, and there are occasional invasions, which are also the private actions of the folk ronin samurai, officially, it has always been humble, and no one in the two countries would have thought that Fusang would dare to enter the Daimyo.

Isn't that possible?

Lian Zining sneered in his heart, because he knew that in his time and space, if he waited for more than ten or twenty years, there would be a thing named Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who almost unified Fuso, and led an army of 200,000 into Kou Korea. Korea has always been a vassal state of China, and it makes no difference if it invaded North Korea and invaded the Ming Dynasty.

The wolf ambition in the bones of the Fuso people gives them a special surname - the ambition is rampant!

After pondering for a while, Lian Zining finally said: "Okay, I will follow the Thunder God Boss, in this way, how about sending you twenty officers?" ”

"Twenty, that's enough!" Tachibana Michiyuki's wish was fulfilled, and he smiled, but he didn't know that Lian Zining had already made up his mind in his heart and was determined to tell those officers not to be sincere professors, and to delay it if they could...... Tachibana Michiyuki recruited someone to summon Tachibana Chiyo and asked her to bring some people to accompany Lian Zining back to Tachibana Mountain Castle to get those heads.

In this era, the head level cannot be pretended, especially the head level of ethnic minorities such as the northern frontier and Fusang, the ethnic integration in this era is not serious enough, and there is a clear difference between Han and ethnic minorities. For example, the Tatars, Jurchens, and Fuso people have obvious physical characteristics. In fact, it is easy to distinguish very much, taking the Jurchens as an example, the Jurchens have shaved their hair since childhood, leaving only a pigtail-like braid, so their scalp is blue, and the stubble is also obvious, and the head of the freshly shaved hair can be clearly distinguished.

Out of the camp, Lian Zining stopped his horse, looking at the mountains and mountains in the east, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

This time, the floating boat Fusang was originally here to avenge the shame of the brothers, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly rush back because of this incident!

It really makes people unwilling, although a thousand heads are enough to give a message to the emperor, but he can't give a message to his heart.

"Nona, do you have any wine?" Lian Zining asked behind him.

Nona was stunned for a moment, then pulled out a small flask from the leather bag she hung next to the saddle, and a small silver wine glass hung on it.

Lian Zining smiled: "You girl, why are you like a jingle cat?" What's in the bag? ”

Ye Nai naturally didn't know what a jingle cat was, but she also knew that Lian Zining was praising her, she pursed her lips and smiled, poured Lian Zining a glass of wine, and handed it over.

Lian Zining got off the horse, put away the smile on his face, raised his wine in the direction of Shandong, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, Lian Zining really has something important to do this time, so he has to rush back, and he has no revenge for revenge, and he has no shame to face his brothers!" But Lian Zining swears here that there will be a day when he will carry a three-foot sword, bring 100,000 soldiers, kill again, and wipe out the clan in the temple to avenge the death of my brother Wu Yijun! ”

With that, he spilled the wine on the ground and turned over his horse: "Go!" ”

The spring breeze blew, and Lian Zining couldn't help but think of what the letter said.

The letter was written by Dai Zhangpu, and Dai Qinglan sent it through the unique channels of the Lian chaebol, and sent it to Cheng Yu by speedboat from the port of Tianjin, and then Cheng Yu delivered it to him.

The letter is not long, and it is a few hundred words to talk about, but what is written on it is a big event that is enough to change the pattern of two countries and decide the fate of millions of people!

"On March 27, the Jurchen Koubian, this time the Jurchen power is extremely great, and it is not comparable to the past. 30,000 Jurchen elites, with 1,000 Tiefutu as the vanguard, crossed the Songhua River at night, attacked Xishenwei, and killed more than 50,000 Han soldiers and civilians. Later, the army was divided into two places, one along the west of the Songhua River, and the other went south along the Asu River, between several days, plundered more than 300 miles of land, and broke through the south bank of the Songhua River, the Wuzhi Yemusuo, the Qilerniwei, the beggar maze, the Kaolang Wuwei, and the Kemuwei, the west bank of the Asu River, Mangita City, Yaoqi Station, Fuliqiwei, Agu Hewei and other fifteen cities, killing 8,000 border troops and 310,000 soldiers! ”

"This situation is extremely serious, and it is by no means comparable to the previous one! The world is in an uproar, long live the wrath! He has already sent Jinyi Wei to Wuyewu City, reprimanded the governor of Nuergan, and arrested the general Songhuajiang who was guarded and returned to Beijing to investigate! ”

"The emperor and the court must give an explanation to the soldiers and soldiers of the world. The dynasty has been recuperating for decades, the soldiers are full of food, and the savings of the household and silver are like a mountain, and they have the power to fight, and after several court discussions, it has been decided to transfer a number of strong troops from Beijing and various places, and join the border army of the governor of Nuergan to attack the three surnamed Jurchen. ”

"This use of troops, the momentum is great, our army with an absolute advantage in attacking, a battle can be played, the risk is very small, the merit is great, if there is this merit, the future can be expected, it is so quickly turnaround, the old man should be the advance of the palace, and the Wu Yi army will be transferred to it!"

"In addition, Sun's henchmen often speak out, which is not conducive to you, so this time a thousand heads must be brought back!"

It's just a few words, but it outlines the outline of a big era.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was recuperating, but the combat effectiveness of the army was not good, so it was more tolerant of the bullying of those evil neighbors in the north, and it seemed weaker. But at this time, after the military reform of the Ming Dynasty and the re-counting of household registration, the number of registered population has reached more than 90 million, an increase of 50% compared with 30 years ago! The annual tax is more than 10,000,000 taels of silver, more than 60 million stones of rice and grain, and the central government's savings are innumerable, which is enough to support a large-scale battle that will last for a long time! Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the army is not the same as in previous years.

This time the Jurchen entered the court, and it was very different from usual, in the past, the Jurchen invaded the Ming Dynasty, that is, they attacked one or two villages, plundered some people as slaves, killed a few people, set fires, and grabbed something, although it was very disgusting and aggrieved, but the destruction of the surname was still limited. What's more, the army of the Ming Dynasty often crossed the Songhua River to sneak attack the Jurchen tribal villages, and the Jurchen ladies with long thighs and spicy surnames were not unseen in the high-end Qinglou of Shuntian Mansion!

But this time, the quality of the surname is extremely bad, and the losses are extremely heavy, if we say that those that can be classified as border disputes in the past, this time it is already provoking a war.

The most important thing for the people of the country is the land, the land is encroached upon, the people are killed, if the court does not give an explanation, the spitting stars of the subjects of the world can drown them!

What's more, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has never had a soft egg.

In Lian Zining's time and space, until the end, the building overturned, the sky collapsed, the Dashun army came to the city, and the 300,000 Beijing battalions fled without a fight, and the emperor of the last days did not follow the advice of his subordinates to flee south, and would rather hang the coal mountain!

In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, no land, no compensation, no ministers, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

The blood debt can only be repaid with blood!

In this way, the use of troops against the Jurchens is already imminent, and the major policy has been decided, and it depends on when it will be implemented.

In terms of the overall national strength of the two sides, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty is dozens of times that of the Jurchens, but because the territory is too large, the border is too long, and there are too many evil neighbors around, it is impossible to deal with one of them with all its might. However, if Da Ming really wants to be hard-hearted, even if he has to pay some price, he has to pay the Jurchen blood debt, then the Jurchen is really not easy to do! The Ming Dynasty can casually send an army of hundreds of thousands, and the entire three surnamed Jurchens add up to just over a million people, and if you exhaust the strength of the whole country, it is the limit to be able to make up 300,000 people!

Therefore, the people who are qualified to know this news in the Ming Dynasty are quite optimistic, including Dai Zhangpu, who has always been cautious, and now Lian Zining.

In Lian Zining's view, this is like the United States fighting Iraq in later generations, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, so big that as long as the commander on this side does not make any mistakes, he can naturally win.

There is no doubt that this is a good opportunity to gild - as long as you follow the army, the danger is naturally small, and the credit is shared by everyone. Before, the three surnamed Jurchen cut off the north of the Songhua River, and went out from the Ming Nuer Gandu Si Reading Force, which was already very displeasing to the emperor, and later in order to prevent the three surnamed Jurchen, he had to set up a slave Gan governor, and a large number of immigrants from the customs went out to reclaim the fields, supply military food on the spot, and work hard, plus this time, the emperor must have hated the Jurchens to the core. As long as it is a meritorious achievement, the weight in the emperor's heart is naturally different, so it is easy to get promoted and make a fortune.

How vicious is Dai Zhangpu's vision? Naturally, Lian Zining will not miss this opportunity.
