Chapter 585: The Battle of Punishment

The New Year in Beijing is particularly boring, Chen Xie, who does not like to be polite, has to run around, and has to get up early in the morning of the new year to enter the palace, and then kowtow to the ancestors and gods of all walks of life, and the sacrificial activities are one after another, and he is busy all day. Since the second year of junior high school, there are many guests sitting at home, and the university scholars are all in this situation, and officials from all walks of life come to pay New Year's greetings, and they don't do much, just drink a cup of tea and leave, so that they can mix for a day and drink a belly of tea.

From the beginning of the third year of junior high school, colleagues above the second rank walked around to visit, except for the cabinet minister on duty, the rest of Chen Xie had to go to the door. It's not that he wants to go, it's a courtesy. Soon, the family members of the first- and second-class members in the Beijing Division regarded Chen Xie as the most popular guest. This goods are not empty-handed, and they bring in in-demand materials. What the latest cosmetics, the latest fabrics, pocket watches are given out more than a dozen. These things, even if you spend a lot of money in Jingshi, you may not be able to buy them, why? Limited to purchase!

For example, pocket watches, right? The United Department Store in Jingshi has scheduled a year later. Don't call yet, sell two dollars a month. Why is this happening, this thing went this way at the beginning, hunger marketing, selling to the dead.

For a while, Master Chen was highly praised in Beijing, and in the first half month of fifteen, he made many "friends".

Zhu Youzhen issued an order to put lights on the Shangyuan Festival for three days. From the thirteenth day of the first month, it is put into the night of the fifteenth day. For many years, it is rare that there is no curfew in Jingshi, and the young women and girls who are holding in the boudoir are crazy. In just these three days, you can indulge wantonly, and if you want to make a fuss, you have to wait for the begging festival. On that day, it was still the festival of the girl waiting for the word in the boudoir, and you should still be how to get married.

One night of fish and dragon dance! There is no twilight looking back, and there is no beautiful woman like jade in the lamplight. Chen Xie obediently stayed at home with his wife and concubine. Zhu Yujiao, who was packing up, shed tears while cleaning up, and it was useless for Liu Ru to persuade her. In fact, Liu Ru also wanted to follow, but Chen Xie refused, this is to fight, not to travel. She's not a matchmaker. Not so strong life. This night, a lot of words were said, and others were saying goodbye to the lively things.

In the morning, the guards quietly got up, took the prepared shapes, and stood silently at the door waiting. When the two women arrived at the door, Chen Xie stopped them and said, "It's cold in the morning, go back." ”

Turn over and get on the horse. With a wave of his hand, he turned around resolutely, and pinched the horse's belly, and Tatata's horse's hooves sounded crisp and sour roots. Fifty guards escorted Chen Xie, fast as a dragon, and left the capital early in the morning. Zhu Youzhen, who got up early, is grooming and preparing for the morning court.

"Ome. You say, will Chen Sihua be out of Beijing? I think. There's no need to be in such a hurry. Zhu Youzhen's tone was generally reluctant, but it was sincere, and Wang Chengen smiled on the side: "Long live Lord, the cabinet is not only with Wenchen, but also a general." Inside, he is a civil servant, and he can not be slow. Outside, it's military law. ”

"I know, I just think that once he leaves like this, whether he can rush back and see Kun Xing give birth to a child is a question." And only in such moments. Zhu Youzhen realized again that Chen Xie led troops to fight outside, fought in the east and west, and experienced countless wind, frost and blood. only then did he realize how lucky he, the emperor, was to have such a courtier.

"Thinking back then, when I first ascended to the great treasure, how heroic and high-spirited I was. After leveling Wei Zhongxian, a minion, I thought that I would be able to make great achievements from now on, and I didn't want to have a change in Liaodong first, and then I was detained by Jiannu. Great rivers and mountains, moaning under the iron hooves of Jiannu, when I was looking forward to the Guangning iron horse, looking forward to Yuan Chonghuan's return, the general with a horizontal sword, such as Zhang Yide shouted on the Dangyang Bridge, and Jiannu hugged his head and ran away. It's a pity that I didn't see such a general, let alone the scene of Jiannu being defeated in front of the Guangning Iron Cavalry. Later, Zu Dashou went to the east, and the battle of Yongdingmen was unbearable. Omemate, do you know what I think? Where did Wang Chengen dare to answer this question, and said with a smile: "How can the slave and maid guess the mind of the Long Live Lord?" ”

"I was thinking about one thing, in this Ming world, there are many ministers like stars, and generals are like clouds, so there can always be a Zhao Zilong of Changbanpo, right? Don't say it, there is really a Chen Sihua. The country has reached such a point that our generation of soldiers has no choice but to go for the country. "These words, Zhu Youzhen can remember for a lifetime, this is the moment when Jiannu's iron cavalry entered the realm of no one in Beizhili at that time, this is a sentence heard at the moment when the ministers were tied.

Then, one victory after another, good news after another.

Zhu Youzhen, who recalled the past, couldn't help but feel a little sour in his eyes, and felt that he owed that person too much.

At the mouth of Arthur, one by one the warships rushed in, which looked scary, but in fact there were not many real warships this time. To fight Japan, it doesn't take so many big guys, Chen Xie only mobilized a total of five third-class battleships and ten fourth-class battleships, and then there were only merchant ships left, responsible for transporting troops to Chen Xie. There were not many soldiers with them, just two battalions, preparing to land in Nagasaki.

Choshu's army, Satsuma's navy, this is what Japan said after the Meiji Restoration. During the shogunate period, Nagasaki was the only foreign trading port in Japan. In 1636, the Portuguese were forbidden to trade with Japan, leaving the Dutch and Chinese to do business. The shogunate's policy of seclusion and seclusion, as far as madness is concerned, is not at all inferior to "I Daqing".

Nagasaki was the territory of the Satsuma domain, and the relationship between Satsuma and Choshu was neither good nor bad, at least for now.

The warships and troops gathered one after another were waiting for Chen Xie's arrival, and Chen Xie personally commanded this battle, and all kinds of preparations before the war were done by Su Haochen with Cui Xin's cooperation. Although it can be directly crushed, the intelligence work is still done in the most meticulous way. Just look at how fat the Satsuma clan was when they fought with the British.

It was too hard to kill Nagasaki directly, and at this time the role of North Korea as an ally came to life, and a large number of all-needed materials were piled up on the port of Busan, all of which were transported from Liaodong. The North Korean government not only contributed manpower, but also food and troops, and specially selected one of the most powerful naval troops and infantry to follow Chen Xie's crusade against Japan and settle the old accounts of the year.

To say that Li Chao has been really good in the past few years, selling resources is really not technical. As long as the common people are not afraid of death, they can go up the mountain to cut down trees and mine, and they can have a full stomach. Because of the prosperity of trade with China, at least the royal family of the Li Dynasty was very nourishing. Rice, this thing, to the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for mixed noodles for their own people to eat, this kind of business is really not difficult to do.

In addition, a large number of women went to Daming to work or marry, which improved the living standards of a group of North Koreans. All in all, the Li Dynasty in recent years has been stable, and the shape is very good. This time, I heard that there was an opportunity to go to Japan to do a vote, and Li Chao was quite enthusiastic. There were 3,000 sailors and 3,000 infantry. The equipment is the smoothbore guns left over from the period when the B battalion was stationed, as well as more than a dozen three-pounder guns, which can be regarded as relatively advanced equipment in this era.

When Chen Xie arrived in Lushun, it was almost past the first lunar month, and he boarded the flagship Liaodong non-stop and rushed to the port of Busan in North Korea. Considering the relationship between South Korea and Japan in modern society, Chen Xie decided to be generous and agreed to give Tsushima, an island with little economic benefit, to North Korea as a reward.

This promise, the Li Dynasty is overjoyed, and we can also expand our territory. This is the sorrow of the widows of a small country, a little bit of leftover dog food can also make them happy. As soon as Chen Xie's period appeared on the surface of Busan, the dock was already a sea of joy. The North Korean people are frantically shouting in Chinese: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!" Long live Master Wang! ”

Don't you really say it, this Li Dynasty's will to resist the Qing army in history, it was quite tenacious, he was beaten into a dog twice, and he had to insist on fighting when he fled to the sea, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty himself being too wastewood, Yuan Chonghuan did Mao Wenlong again, North Korea is really not so easy to fight, especially in the north, just look at that terrain to know how difficult it is. The equipment of the US imperialism is so good, and in the face of our rabbit's army, which is mainly based on light weapons, it has been beaten like a dog.

The civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty came, and greeted Chen Xie on the dock, Chen Xie, who had the face of the Heavenly Empire, was not polite to the royal family and civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty. Directly asked: "What are the required military resources and how are you prepared?" ”

The minister in charge of Li Chao's side immediately came up, bowed his hand, and said in a standard official language: "Please rest assured, my lordship in the DPRK, I will serve the kingdom with all my heart, and I will definitely not delay the affairs of my lord." Now that there is abundant food and grass and all the ordnance, just waiting for the order of the lord, our army will follow the lord to go on the expedition, and he is willing to die for the hegemony of the country. ”

Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good." That's it, take a day off today, and send troops to Tsushima early tomorrow morning. Using Tsushima as a springboard, the coalition forces wanted to punish the impudent and shameless small Toei country. ”

On June 19, 1419, the Joseon Dynasty began its campaign with the "Eastern Crusade? The purpose of the "Tsushima Invasion" was to order General Li Congmao to send troops to Tsushima in an attempt to occupy Tsushima Island, which the Japanese called Ou Naga Waikou. Faced with strong resistance from the Tsushima and Kyushu coalition forces, the two sides were in a strategic stalemate. In July 1421, the Joseon Dynasty army had to retreat, but the conditions for withdrawal were put forward, that is, Tsushima Island would become a treaty port for trade with Japan, and the Tsushima clan would become a joint vassal of Japan and Korea. Later, the Tsushima clan accepted official positions in Korea and controlled the Korean trade of the people of Japan on behalf of Korea (see Japan-Korea Trade). Such a special relationship between Tsushima and Korea does not negate the relationship between Tsushima and the central power of Japan. In 1471, Shin Shu-shu, the head of the Joseon Dynasty, wrote the "Chronicles of the Princes of Haidong", which clearly stated that Tsushima Island belonged to the Japanese state of Seikaido.

This history proves that although North Korea is small, its ambitions are not small, but it is a pity that it cannot defeat Japan. Now, here's your chance. (To be continued......)
