Chapter 430: Great Joy
This roar was extremely loud, and everyone's faces were boiled.
Huang Jin waved his hand at Gao Gong again and again, but it had already alarmed Jiajing.
A long howl came from the house: "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens." Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. The wild trails are dark, and the river boats are bright. Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city. ”
It was Wu Jie's poems that he read.
"It's been a hot summer, and today we finally saw the rain. Although this poem is not a scene, for me, it is a spring rain. The southeast wind and rain, spring returns, good, very good, all come in! ”
When everyone entered the temple one after another, they saw Jiajing sitting cross-legged on the futon, and the veil on his head was dancing in the wind.
Hu Dashun was blown by the wind and couldn't stand still, his robe was messy, his hair was scattered, and he didn't have the demeanor of a fairy wind on weekdays.
Originally, Hu Dashun should have avoided major military affairs, but today he did not leave.
"Long live the Song Dynasty, long live the country!" Eunuch Song knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and suddenly cried loudly: "Missing, great joy, great joy!" ”
The door shut, and the flying veil fell.
Huang Feng caught it and pulled it up.
Jiajing fell his eyes on Eunuch Song's body, and his gaze was full of softness and joy: "What do you say?" ”
Eunuch Song wiped his eyes yesterday: "Long live Lord, this time the minister sent troops to Fujian with Lord Wu Jie and General Qi Jiguang, and won a complete victory, and in about three hours, he wiped out the Japanese on Hengyu Island." 346 beheadings, and more than 800 captives were rescued. At this point, the southeastern Japanese have been swept away by our army, and they cannot afford to make any waves. As for the pirates entrenched in other places, most of them are thieves, whether they use soldiers or appease, they are just a gesture. ”
"Ahh Hu Dashun's body trembled, and his face changed color, he also just knew about it.
Originally, Wu Jie was away from Beijing for half a year, and no one was competing for favor by the emperor's side, Hu Dashun was having a good time these days, and he wished that Wu Jie would never come back. Or maybe he can suffer a big defeat.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jie actually achieved such a big victory, but it is conceivable that in the future, how heavy the weight of this Wu Jie in the emperor's mind will be, which makes Hu Dashun jealous and hateful.
When Gao Gong heard this number, he was greatly disappointed in his heart, and couldn't help but snort: "It's only more than three hundred and forty levels of beheading, and he came to report the good news, nonsense." When I heard a report of the southeast victory just now, I thought I would be beheaded by thousands. It took tens of thousands of people to kill more than 300 people, what kind of victory did they have? ”
Hearing Gao Gong's reprimand, Eunuch Song was a little frightened, and said: "It's just three hundred and forty-six levels, and the minions have counted and checked correctly, so they don't dare to conceal it." ”
But Huang Jin and Chen Hong glanced at each other, but they both laughed happily: "It seems that it is really a great victory, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Jiajing was also overjoyed: "A month ago, Wu Jie had already reported it with a secret fold. I didn't tell you, I need to verify the results of the battle, and I have to ask in person to be sure. Now it seems that it is indeed a big victory, Wu Jie, and it lives up to my expectations. ”
Gao Gong was a little puzzled, and held back his anger and said: "Your Majesty, there have been many good news from the Southeast Battlefield in previous years, and it is often tens of thousands of beheadings, but it is not good news. Today, Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang are only beheaded by four hundred, but His Majesty is relieved to be like this. The minister is not clear, please long live the doubts. ”
Jiajing suddenly sneered: "Gao Xiang has just entered the cabinet for a few years, and he still doesn't understand the following things. Huang Jin, tell him the truth in this. ”
Huang Jin saw that Gao Gong was confused, and couldn't help but smile and said slowly: "Gao is not familiar with the affairs of the army, but he doesn't know that the group of military men is the most bullying and hiding everything. When he asked the imperial court for military salaries, he dared to falsely report 10,000 when he only had 100 men and horses on hand. When you go to the battlefield, you only cut one level, and you dare to report a thousand. The imperial court also understood this situation very well. Generally, it has to be discounted. For example, the last time the Mongols besieged Beijing, the military towns in various places fought for half a month, and only about 20 beheadings were killed in total, but it was reported that it was 10,000. For the sake of the court's face, they were given a thousand, which was also convenient for the towns to share the credit. This time, Wu Jie beheaded four hundred, it must be true, otherwise, according to the rules of the imperial court, there will be only forty left, isn't it a joke to spread it? "Ah, I see! Gao Gong was stunned.
"Besides, there are only a thousand Japanese on Hengyu Island, and the beheading of 400 is already very remarkable. In the entire southeast, there are only more than 1,000 true Japanese soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of this kind of real Japanese is amazing. At that time, a few Japanese invaders could sweep more than a dozen county seats, and more than 1,000 people were worth tens of thousands of imperial court troops, and the ordinary town army really did not dare to fight a decisive battle with them. Gao Xiang, do you think this is a big credit? ”
Gao Gong suddenly realized: "I see, but isn't there more than a thousand Kou on Hengyu Island, and only four hundred have been beheaded, what about the others?" If they are allowed to wander out and join the pirates, it will be troublesome. ”
At this time, the Song eunuch who was kneeling on the ground said boldly: "Hello Gaoxiang, none of the more than 1,000 widows ran away, and they were all wiped out by Lord Wu and General Qi Jiguang." ”
Gao Gong: "What's going on?" ”
Eunuch Song: "Back to the high minister, after our army attacked the island, more than 400 people were killed. The other thieves did not arrive, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they seized the ship and fled. Unfortunately, the wind and waves were too strong that day, and they couldn't go to sea, and all the ships were burned by our army. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the enemy panicked, and couldn't care so much, so they jumped into the sea to escape. Helplessly, the would-be robbers were dressed in heavy armor one by one, and they sank into the deep sea like a weighing snake in the water without even splashing a wave. The remaining 600 or so people were all in the belly of the fish. Originally, this was also written into the good news. But Lord Wu said that this is not a beheading, so it is not counted. ”
"This Wu Festival is too sincere." Jiajing stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves, and laughed: "I know about this matter, if this is not a gain, what can it be?" This is the most time in the past 50 years that my Ming Dynasty has used troops to defeat foreign countries. Well, back then, Emperor Wuzong drove the expedition in person, and he only beheaded a hundred levels, which was an unprecedented victory, and he reported 10,000. Gao Gong, you come to draw up an edict, use the edict to tell the world, and celebrate the whole world. ”
Gao Gong remembered the old things in the Zhengde period, immediately understood, and said excitedly: "Yes, back then, it was only a hundred-level beheading, and the first emperor was respected as Emperor Wuzong by later generations, in fact, compared to long live, it is nothing." This great victory in the southeast is due to His Majesty's heavenly virtue and the courtiers' hard work. This edict is drafted by the minister, but not only how many beheadings should be reported? ”
Jiajing looked at Huang Jin and smiled silently.
Huang Jin stretched out three fingers; "Thirty thousand."
Jiajing laughed, let out a long breath, and said: "I received Wu Jie's secret letter a month ago, I still had some suspicions, and I kept it secret, but now I have finally been confirmed, and I have proposed an edict to appoint Qi Jiguang as the chief military officer of Fujian, and the officers and men in the army will also be rewarded." And you carefully told me about the situation of that battle, and you were not allowed to leak a single thing. ”
Jiajing pointed at Eunuch Song. (To be continued.) [Text provided by]
