Chapter 1104: First Battle of Spain
Tang Yi made the exchange of overseas grain for the right to operate salt, to put it bluntly, it is an upgraded version of the opening of the Chinese law, the original opening of the Chinese law is to raise grain for the nine sides, and Tang Yi is to raise grain for the Ming Dynasty, and the pattern is even grander.

It is also overseas tuntian, and it is the reform of the salt law, under the heavy burden, the household department has been overwhelmed, and the reform has to be put on the agenda.
The Ministry of Rites was divided into three, and the affairs of the Ministry of Household were more complicated, and it was preliminarily determined that it should be divided into five parts, the first of which was finance, followed by civil affairs, the third was commerce and trade, the fourth was agriculture, and the fifth was colonization.
With the experience of splitting the Ministry of Rites, the household department quickly completed the split, and the books of each department do not need to be elaborated, in short, most of them are from the Xinxue sect.
Nepotism is always bad, but in recent years, mental learning has been popular in the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless talents, and when it comes to harvest, Tang Yi can't avoid it if he wants to.
Moreover, he was the originator of finance and an enthusiastic advocate of colonial expansion.
Most of the people who know about these affairs are his subordinates, and as for the sour Confucianism of science, they can't do practical things.
Five Shangshu were added in one go, and with the addition of the previous three, the situation of the entire center changed.
The division of labor among the various ministries is becoming more and more detailed, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher. If you can understand the eight-strand text, you want to dominate one, which is wishful thinking. If you can't even put one on the table, how can you enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister?
The Hanlin Academy, which was regarded as the future prince in the past, fell out of favor all of a sudden, and instead of wasting his life in it, it was better to go to a place to experience it, and it was easier to be promoted.
Even the Hanlin Academy has lost its demeanor, and the entire imperial examination system is also scattered.
In August of the first year of Wanli, Tang Yi officially ordered that within five years, the eight units of scholars should be gradually stopped, and the method of the imperial examination should be reformed.
The content of the exam completely abolished the eight strands, poems and other flashy things.
It was changed to law, arithmetic, agriculture, industry and commerce, social knowledge, cultural accomplishment, and so on.
In fact, for literati, they most need a way to advance in the exam, to be able to realize the dream of being Tian Shelang and ascending to Tianzitang at dusk, as for what to test, there is really not much difference.
Although some people have spent most of their lives in poverty and suddenly abolished the eight shares, which has a great impact on them, the good thing is that the number of times the new examination system has increased, the number of admissions has also increased, and there is still a five-year buffer zone, so they should be able to get into a good position.
The implementation of the reform was much smoother than Tang Yi thought.
He broke down his actions into large and small, countless blocks, and each step forward, there were detailed calculations. Ten years of hard work is enough to completely erase the traces left by Zhu Yuanzhang. That little guy in the Qianqing Palace won't be willing to lose his authority.
You can act again, but unfortunately you can't escape my eyes.
Wait, I'll give you ten years to grow up, but it's wishful thinking to take back your power from me!
It seems a bit embarrassing to treat a child as an opponent, but this child is the emperor, so it is not surprising at all, the ministers who have always been killed by the emperor are far more than the emperors who have been overthrown by the ministers. It has been the case throughout the ages, and it has never changed.
Tang Yi felt that he should not have any slack and luck, he had to change the Ming Dynasty more quickly and cultivate the interest group strong enough in order to be truly invincible.
Half of Annan can't satisfy his appetite.
It's time to decide who is the overlord of the South Seas, Tang Yi convened a cabinet meeting and specially brought the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War over, with only one task, that is, a decisive battle with the Spaniards!
After several years of vigorous soldiers, whether it is Xi Muyun's Luzon Naval Division or Yu Dayou's Guangdong Naval Division, they are already strong and strong, and their strength is not bad.
In particular, Xi Muyun's subordinates also exchanged fire with the Spaniards several times, and the two sides won and lost each other.
Although the Ming army lost most of the times, gradually, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty had enough confidence to fight.
Concentrate your forces, attack Malacca, and then lure the Spanish fleet to a decisive battle and defeat it in one fell swoop.
After so many years, it's time to settle the old accounts.
In order to be able to defeat the Spaniards, Tang Yi mobilized more than 200 warships, prepared thousands of cannons, and he also ordered the merchant ships in the southeast, as well as the civilian sailors, to accept the imperial court's call, ready to attack.
Even if you use the number of people, you have to crush the Spaniards to death!
Tang Yi was full of ambition, but he didn't expect that the battle between Daming and Spain had already begun...... It's just that it doesn't happen at sea, it's on land.
Mo Jinggong led the army of the Mo Dynasty and pounced southward, and because of the support of the Ming army's firearms, the Mo Dynasty initially progressed very smoothly, and Zheng Song was beaten all the way, and a large area of land was recaptured.
Mo Jinggong was very excited, he was full of unification of Annan and the dream of hegemony.
But when he got to Da Nang, he was in trouble, and it was enough to kill him.
It was here that a strange group of men and horses appeared, dressed in bright clothes, with neat steps, presenting one phalanx after another, neatly chopped out with knives and axes.
There were only two kinds of men in the entire phalanx, the first three columns were all spear-wielding soldiers, and the back were warriors with muskets. Accompanied by the beat of the drums, they took solid steps and pressed towards the Annamite.
With the help of the telescopes bought from the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Mo Jinggong could see clearly that these opponents were tall and big, with red noses and blue eyes, not Houli's centaurs, but a group of Xiyi!
"Sure enough!" Mo Jinggong took a sip hard, Zheng Song was shameless, he actually colluded with outsiders, the crime was unforgivable! He also forgot that he also relied on Daming, but it was only half a catty. In his heart, the people of Daming are not much different from them, and Xiyi is two species no matter how you look at it.
"Kill!"
Mo Jinggong gave a decisive order, and his subordinates swarmed up and rushed forward in a chaotic manner.
The successive victories carried them away, and almost a hundred paces away, the gunshots rang out one after another, and the Xiyi on the opposite side fell several times, and the splattered blood stimulated the soldiers of Annan, who screamed wildly and rushed with a loud sound.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and in the face of the attack of the Annan people, the opponent didn't look at the counterattack at all, they were still moving forward, even if they suffered heavy casualties, they didn't care.
Finally, at about seventy paces, the Spaniards stopped, the pikemen in the first three rows quickly crouched down, and the muzzles of the black holes in the back were aimed at Annan's men.
"Shoot!"
The smoke of gunfire was thick and the guns were rumbling, and the emaciated Annan soldiers could not withstand the tremendous force of the lead pellets, and were sent flying far away, and the bullets left fatal wounds on them.
Fist-sized wounds, eroded internal organs, and splattered flesh and blood were splashed everywhere in an instant.
After one round of shooting, Annan's soldiers fell by more than thirty.
They panicked for a while, but soon the gunfire continued again.
Skillful shooting, fast reloading, rhythmic attacks.
It didn't look like a battlefield, as if he had arrived at a blacksmith's workshop, where the master was pulling the sledgehammer hard, and one after another, a lump of iron took on different shapes according to his ideas.
Take a leisurely stroll and lift weights lightly.
It is said that the army in front of them is pressed strongly, just like Mount Tai pressing on the top, the flood is monstrous, surging, and there is nowhere to escape.
The gunfire was consistent, and Annan's soldiers were harvested in pieces, not that they were not brave, they tried their best, and the corpses were piled up, not that their weapons were not good, obviously the firearms in their hands shot farther than the opponent, but they were powerless.
Allowing his opponent to slaughter wildly, Mo Jinggong was simply depressed to death.
His eyes were bloodshot and turned a terrible red, and he gave orders to his cavalry.
The only two thousand cavalry pounced, and they rushed in front of each other, regardless of their sacrifices, stepping on the corpses of their comrades. They raised their sabers, and there seemed to be a scene of their opponents collapsing before their eyes, and their long knives were able to drink blood.
It's a pity that it's just their wish.
The opposing spearman raised his weapon, stabbed one end at the ground, and aimed the other at the warhorse. The warhorse, which could not stop in time, crashed into it, and the long spear head pierced into the warhorse's body.
The pikemen were knocked into the air almost at the same time, but they could fly one, but they couldn't fly a full three rows of pikemen.
And the horses in front will also block their companions behind, and the cavalry will lose their speed and valuable impact, and they will be anxiously overwhelmed.
At this time, the gunshots finally rang out, and countless bullets were shot from all directions, like a storm, harvesting lives, whether it was a cavalry or a war horse, as long as they were hit, they would either be killed or wounded.
The corpses were piled up in a row.
……
Defeated, the most precious cavalry was also defeated, Mo Jinggong was full of resentment, but there was no way, the other party strode up, he and his men could only desperately escape
Defeated and retreated from Da Nang, he fled all the way for more than 300 miles, and fled directly to the periphery of Thanh Hoa.
Carefully calculated, when the expedition was made, there were more than 20,000 people, and 80,000 people, known as 100,000 people. But when he came back, there were less than 5,000 people left who were still with Mo Jinggong, and the rest were all killed or lost.
In this battle, the last bit of the elite of the Mo Dynasty was lost, and Mo Jinggong was like a frosted eggplant, and he had no heart at all.
It's over, it's completely finished!
His head is still full of the image of his opponent looking at death as if he were at home, and he is extremely strong, which is an invincible opponent.
"Idiot!"
Ping'an couldn't wait to slap Mo Jinggong's mouth, "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Children know the truth, you are defeated with nothing, you don't even know the situation of your opponent, you are a pig, how can you not die on the battlefield? ”
Ping'an was angry, he was angry that he sold the firecrackers to Mo Jinggong, once those exquisite firecrackers fell into the hands of Xiyi, let them learn the essence, the consequences were unimaginable......
"Grand Duke Qiyu, we have already found out that it was the Spanish infantry who assisted Houli in the battle, and their phalanx was rampant for decades, and their combat power was very strong."
Sure enough, it's Spaniards!
Ping An took a deep breath, he and Wang Yin glanced at each other, no matter what, they had to fight! (To be continued.) )
