August 26 of the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The auspicious day of the zodiac, the sacrifice, the bath, the travel, and the expedition.

Jiading Fu Wharf.

With the launching of a large number of sea ships and treasure ships in Liujiagang Shipyard, and also to distinguish it from the inland water division, the Ming Navy has been trying to find another good port as a camp for naval warships. The most important condition of this port is, of course, that it faces the sea and is conducive to dispatch.

So Jiading Mansion naturally became the best choice.

Ye Yingwu did not object to the choice of the navy, after all, Jiading Mansion, which was later known as Shanghai, did have many deep-water harbors, and it was located in the Yangtze River Delta, which could take into account the north and south and guard the east gate of the Ming capital.

With Ye Yingwu's approval, the Ministry of Industry is naturally no longer vague about this, and even part of the labor force to build the straight road nearby is transferred to join the wharf construction, so that overnight, a wharf that has begun to take shape has been presented to the world, and then it is a few months of intense repair construction, so that the entire Jiading Fu Wharf has become the largest naval warship berthing dock along the coast of Daming.

Now stationed at the Jiading wharf, the Ming Royal Oriental Fleet has more than 300 large and small sea ships, including ten treasure ships, and more than 30 flying clippers for transportation, reconnaissance and communication.

Today is not only an auspicious day for the zodiac, but also the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn breeze is blowing, which is a rare good weather.

On the pier, the wind blew the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and rows of soldiers stood straight, like javelins poking on the ground. On each warship, many soldiers have begun to be nervous and busy, whether it is to check the various facilities of the warship in advance, or to sort out the canvas flags, it will take a certain amount of time.

A drum had already sounded, and all the soldiers almost subconsciously turned their eyes to the place where the drum sounded, but everyone remained unmoved except for their eyes.

Shortly after the first drum fell, the second drum and the third drum sounded one after another.

A flag with the word "Liu" jumped into everyone's field of vision, and the brigade commander standing at the front shouted: "Tidy up the army's appearance and stand upright!" ”

A row of soldiers at the same time did their best to straighten their chests. And the soldiers who were busy on the warships near and far also put down their work at this time, and waited for the order to stand in line on the side of the warship.

And the brigade leader strode to the front of the general, bowed his hand to Liu Shiyong, the left attendant of the Ming Army, and said loudly: "Qi Xianggong, the first brigade of the Ming Imperial Oriental Fleet has finished plating, please give an order!" ”

Liu Shiyong nodded and strode up to the platform. Behind him, Fan Tianshun, the commander and commander of the Ming Royal Oriental Fleet, and Liu Cheng, the commander of the Ming Imperial Oriental Fleet, stood solemnly on the left and right, but it could be seen that both of them had excited expressions in their eyes.

Fan Tianshun was the original commander of the Yingzhou Naval Division, and was seriously injured in the Yingzhou War at the beginning of the Battle of Xiangyang, and when he recovered from the bed, the Huanghuang Song Dynasty had disappeared, and there was only one choice left for Fan Tianshun, so he gladly accepted the official position of the Ming Dynasty and became the commander of the Ming Imperial Oriental Fleet. For Fan Tianshun, this is definitely a high promotion, because at the beginning, Fan Tianshun was just a small local sailor, but because he was located in Yingzhou and faced Xiangyang, it seemed that his identity was important. And you must know that the current commander of the Royal Oriental Fleet is the backbone of the absolute Ming Admiral, after all, the entire Royal Navy only has three fleets and three inland river divisions.

Liu Cheng's background is similar to Fan Tianshun, as the water master of Poyang Lake back then, he can be regarded as a minister of the dragon, but he has been rolling in the local area for the past two years, basically there is no battle wherever he goes, so Liu Cheng has not had enough military merits for so long, and in the end, if it were not for the Ministry of War to see his Yuan Congzhi's sake, it is estimated that the position of supervisor would not be his turn, which is also a model of a bad career.

So Liu Cheng has been holding his breath for so long, wanting to prove himself with real combat exploits.

Liu Shiyong's gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers in the audience, and he took a breath and roared loudly: "Officers and men of the Ming Navy, the internal thieves who participated in the Nanjing City rebellion have all been eliminated, but there are still foreign thieves trapped in it. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Oriental Japanese have always been a vassal state of China, but this time they have opposed the Celestial Empire and colluded with the heinous traitors. ”

Before Liu Shiyong finished speaking, the countless soldiers below already showed indignant looks on their faces.

Although they didn't know why they went on the expedition this time, everyone thought that the imperial court was preparing to use the navy as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, but they didn't expect that it would be the Japanese people who were making trouble. Even if the Great Song Dynasty lived in the south of the Yangtze River back then, the Japanese people were still just a group of clowns who jumped off the beam, not to mention the current Daming!

Since the Japanese people have been sent to the door without knowing the height of the sky, the Oriental Fleet must teach them how to behave.

Liu Shiyong paused for a moment and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Ming Navy, tell so-and-so, what should I do if the Japanese are rampant like this?!" ”

"Extinguish!" Several brigade commanders who took the lead shouted at the same time.

The blood was rolling, almost bursting the blood vessels, and the air flow rushed out directly from the chest, whether it was standing on the dock or on the warship, the soldiers roared angrily at the same time at this moment: "Extinguish——! ”

"Extinguishing ——!"

Although there is only one word, this one word has a powerful force, like a rolling wave, rushing straight into the sea and sky in the distance, with the wrath of a powerful dynasty, turning everything into powder.

Throughout the ages, the word "begging" is often used to refer to a strong country attacking a weak country, for example, when the Han Dynasty attacked South Vietnam, it was "begging"; The word "war" is often used to refer to the battle between a weak country attacking a strong country or a strong country, such as "King Wu's war" and the former Song Dynasty's attack on the Liao State. But no one has ever used the word "extinguish" directly when they go on an expedition.

It can be seen that this time the anger of the Ming court.

After all, for Wen Tianxiang and them, the Japanese people, as vassal states, were directly involved in such a rebellion, and they didn't take Daming in their eyes at all, not to mention that in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has fought in the south and the north, and the vassal states under the power of the Ming Dynasty are innumerable, and the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Southern Song Dynasty that was swollen and fat, but a powerful empire that provoked it to do it directly. Even if Wen Tianxiang has a stable personality, he will not allow such a slap in the face to happen, let alone a soldier who is originally defending this national security.

"Worship the sky!" Liu Shiyong turned around and roared loudly.

Two soldiers escorted the envoy of the Japanese people and walked forward quickly, the envoy was far from the pride of facing the envoys of various countries when he was in Nanjing, and he hung his head and did not know what he was thinking. But for the queue here, for the warships here that have no end in sight, he doesn't have to say anything.

The white hair fluttered in the wind, and Jiang Wanzai, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward, although the old man was already old, he still walked vigorously, and he couldn't see the slightest tiredness and old age. As one of the toughest characters among the three ancient Jiang families, he was only twenty-one years old when he was already in charge of the Lin'an Forbidden Army, and at the age of twenty-seven, he personally led the forbidden army and the loyal army to break through Caizhou and destroy the Jin State, and the shame of Jingkang. However, after this war, Jiang Wanzai turned into a civilian official and bid farewell to the military until today.

However, forty years have passed, and the old man is still standing here, still as if he is from the rolling killing intent of that era of gunpowder, which makes Liu Shiyong and others gasp when they see it. They had all experienced the battlefield, so they naturally understood what the cold chill around here was all about, and only those who had been tempered by blood and fire on the battlefield would have this kind of killing intent that seemed to be integrated into the bone marrow.

The so-called altar is actually nothing more than a drum stand next to the shogun platform, and the war drums are temporarily removed.

However, when Jiang Wanzai walked up step by step, all the soldiers below had a strong sense of admiration in their eyes. This is the respect of the soldiers who are about to embark on the battlefield for their predecessors.

Looking up at the Langlang sky, Jiang Wanzai Huo Ran unfolded the edict and read it aloud: "I inherit Hongxu, govern the Zhaoren, the sea and the mountains, all of them are my child, I am not evil, and I want to be famine." The genus Dongyi clown Hojo Shizong, obscene subordinates, dare to make trouble, collude and rebel, and mess up our society. I know the cunning and the dictatorship. It is the material of the feather forest of the county country, and the reward of the brave lord without stinginess of money will be subdued and used to Chenghai Bo.

Relying on the heaven and earth, the sect and the society, the punishment of the gods, the thief killed his leader, and the king and navy drove thousands of miles, crusaded against rebellion, and was quiet in the East. Foreign aid is cut off, and there is no internal plan. So the same evil was annihilated, the chiefs fled at night, the boat was paid to the fire, the sea was boiling, the Gejia accumulated in the high mountains, the atmosphere was soaked and cleaned, and the bandit leader Hojo Shizong was a prisoner under the Ming Dynasty; The islands of the East Ocean belong to the land of the Ming Dynasty. This is what I want, and what tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Oriental Fleet want.

Cry for play, our country is benevolent and vast, and the obedient are not in need; Righteousness and martial arts are vigorous, and those who jump off the beam will be killed even if they are strong. I hereby use a proclamation to the world, show the four yi, clearly give the heart of last resort, and know the meaning of not daring to forgive. Do not go beyond the will and do the punishment, and everyone will keep the righteousness to enjoy the peace.

All my civil and military ministers inside and outside the country, it is still advisable to love the people and serve the country in order to eliminate provocations and guide Zhenxiang. It is only at this time, because of the Eastern Expedition to send money and food, all the orders are excluded, and everything is done to save and care, do not be troublesome, consult many parties, and it is advisable to know what I want. ”

(Author's note: This sacrificial text is changed from the edict of Wanli Ping of the Ming Dynasty)

Although Jiang Wanzai is old, his words are still full of energy, sonorous and powerful, and there is no need to hide the majesty and domineering spirit of the Heavenly Empire between the lines.

The voice fell slowly, and all the soldiers were already irrepressibly enthusiastic at this time. Although they can only understand the edict generally, the imposing article, even if they can't understand it, they can feel the emotional rendering between the words and words.

Righteousness and martial arts are fighting, although the beam jumper is strong, he will be killed!

"Tribute!" Liu Shiyong personally served as the master of ceremonies and shouted loudly.

The messenger of the Japanese people was pushed up to the high platform, and beside him the pigs, sheep, cows, and fish were already laid out.

The executioner, who was already standing on the high platform, raised his broadsword, bowed deeply in the direction of the sky, the earth, and the sea at the same time, and then turned to the messenger of the Japanese people, exhaled softly, and slashed down. The sword flashed, the head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing everyone's sleeves.

And standing in the wind, whether it was Jiang Wanzai, Liu Shiyong, or every soldier below, there was not the slightest movement, everyone looked at the heavens, the earth and the ocean with pious eyes, and also looked at the red dragon flag that they hunted and danced not far away.

The golden dragon on the dragon flag seemed to come to life, and its scales and claws were flying.

Liu Shiyong exhaled lightly, turned to face the fleet and soldiers, Huo Ran drew his sword: "Ming Imperial Oriental Fleet, crusade against the Japanese people, go on the expedition!" ”

"Wan Sheng!" This time, there was no brigade commander taking the lead, and all the soldiers shouted in unison.

Speaking in unison, it seems to be the voice of everyone.

"Wan Sheng!" On the high platform, Jiang Wanzai looked at the young faces below, and muttered prayers in his heart.

"Wan Sheng!" Liu Shiyong held his sword, and his eyes were already on the sea and the sky.

"Wan Sheng!" Fan Tianshun and Liu Cheng reached out and clenched the hilt of their swords, their faces revealing murderous intent.

August 26 of the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.

The sky is high and cool.

The Ming Royal Oriental Fleet swore in at the Jiaxing Fu Wharf.

————————————————————————

Slowly finishing the last word, Ye Yingwu put down the brush.

On a huge piece of rice paper, every word is hooked and silver, almost perfectly occupying every place.

There are only five words in total, but it gives everyone who sees it a heartfelt impact. Although Ye Yingwu's calligraphy is definitely not a master of the ages, I am afraid that he is the only one in the world who can write such words, and Zhang Hezong has the air of a king that is incomparable to others.

Ye Yingwu wrote his famous work at that time.

May the sea be flat.

Right next to the rice paper, the music that was urgently sent from Jiaxing Mansion 800 miles was lying quietly.

Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly and sat back in his chair. Just two days ago, the Ming Oriental Fleet set out for the expedition, and the front of the troops was directed at Japan. In fact, for Japan, Ye Yingwu originally did not plan to clean it up before defeating Mongolia, not to mention that although he knew that Japan had a large number of silver mines and a lot of gold mines, he had never provoked right and wrong as a vassal state of China, and Ye Yingwu could not find enough excuses to destroy people, after all, the most important thing in this era is "the teacher is famous", Zhao Da was very witty back then, "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore" cleverly avoided the question of morality, However, this kind of answer has been used by someone in history, and there is no way to use it again.

Not to mention the wisdom of picking up people's teeth, the meaning of pushing and prevarication is too obvious. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, the title of the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if the minister likes interests, when facing the monarch's crusade against the vassal state for no reason, he will stand up and admonish two sentences, indicating that he still follows Confucianism and his duty as a minister.

So Ye Yingwu actually had a headache at first, but who knew that the Japanese were really cute, and he actually sent an excuse to him. Hojo Shizong's person, Ye Yingwu is very clear, this guy is far more ambitious than the rest of the shoguns before Japan, in the time and space where he is, the Great Song Dynasty perished in the Battle of Yashan, Hojo Shizong saw the opportunity, and immediately called on the Great Song Dynasty to wear filial piety throughout Japan, and even put on a grief-stricken appearance, so as to justifiably disregard the Yuan Dynasty as the authentic, completely detached from the original tributary system to China, and the angry Kublai Khan went on two successive expeditions to the East.

From this point of view, this guy is instigated by You Xuanfu or the rest of the Mongols, standing on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty is also in line with his character, after all, the existence of a not strong suzerainty is conducive to Japan's independent development, not to mention the Ming Dynasty's practice in the South Seas, Hojo Shizong should know even if it is hearsay, in order to avoid Japan completely becoming a source of labor and cannon fodder for the Ming Dynasty, it is not impossible for him to take risks.

Thinking that the little devils in later generations like to shout "national fortune betting" and "100 million jade pieces", Ye Yingwu showed a smile, turned his head to look at the huge map behind him, and wanted to see, in front of the main force of the Ming Navy such as the Oriental Fleet and the world's first-class huge warship such as the treasure ship, what ability do you have to really "100 million jade pieces".

What's more, did Hojo Tokimune really think that so many large and small feudal towns in the whole of Japan would really listen to his dispatch?

When the Japanese participated in the Nanjing Rebellion, they had actually begun to gamble on the fortunes of the country, and when the Nanjing Rebellion was crushed, their fate was already doomed.

Ye Yingwu stood up and walked to the door of the study, stretched out his hand to push the door open.

The cool wind is blowing in your face, and a touch of sunshine is shining on your body, and it still carries the warmth of summer.

Squinting his eyes, Ye Yingwu muttered to himself: "Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away." My Great Ming, it's not like you can provoke the majestic Great Song at will! (To be continued.) )
