Chapter 3: The Moon in the Surrendered City is Like Frost (4)
The Japanese people's military discussions were not just slogans, they also devised many strategies, the first of which was to avoid the coastline. According to the accounts of the survivors, it was the ships that burst into flames, and then thunder fell and destroyed most of Chikuzen. So although they didn't understand artillery, they also felt that the muzzle flame was related to high-explosive shells. According to their understanding, it may be a ritual, a kind of Taoism, which can only be performed on those ships. That's how they conclude, so the conclusion is to avoid the coastline and shrink the defensive ring.
And the second method is to clear the strong wall, which was originally the Ming Dynasty's method of preventing and controlling the Japanese invaders, and it was also used by them;
Then their main tactic was to use a small force to induce Wu Du to divide his troops, and then use excellent troops to annihilate the small force.
Not only did Li Bing and Liu Ji feel that Ding Yi was the wrong person, but the Japanese also thought that Ding Yi had underestimated the enemy, and this was their opportunity.
As for Li Shao? He looked at Yu Wei, who was doing his best to run the civil affairs and destroying half of the city with more than 1,000 high-explosive bombs, plus Cao Jixiang led a company of veterans of the guard regiment to stand in line for him, so the Japanese people were very obedient, at least on the face, but Li Shao didn't have a smug look, and even the smile was invisible.
The head of the Haoqiang Shao Er clan in the place where Chikuzen was spared sent a pair of sisters to curry favor with him, but he was also blasted out.
This makes his long-term entourage and staff very strange, because in these years, not only traitors and concubines, but also good officials and concubines are also normal, how many ascetic characters can there be in Yu Qian for thousands of years? One slap can count them all. So the staff said puzzledly: "The owner, although there is a slight setback in the east, but today and yesterday two days." The Japanese people are obedient, and it is also a merit to report to the court in the future. Why is there so much sadness? β
Li Shao sneered when he heard this, and did not answer the words. He just instructed the staff: "Teach people to look for sea ships, the Japanese used to harass the coast of Huaxia, there are always boats, you be careful, don't attract people's attention, just say that you want to transport some local products back to China, and now you will do it." β
Seeing that Li Shao's face was not good, the staff didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly saluted and went down to do the errand. is a long-term follower who follows Li Shao. It was the son of the family, who grew up with Li Shao since he was a child, and he was a scholar when he was a child, and he followed him all the way, looking at no one around, but he asked in a low voice: "Master, do you really want to return to Huaxia with fine and soft?" β
Because this Chang Sui doesn't believe it, Li Shao is a clean official in this era. Of course, don't compare Yu Qian, if you insist on doing this, you can count it in a slap for thousands of years - Yue Wumu still has some industry. will be an official for a lifetime, and make up more than 100 taels of silver to go back to his hometown to buy a house, and after his death, only Hai Rui, who is less than 20 taels of silver, can compare, right?
Normal protΓ©gΓ© disciple. ushered in the habitual etiquette of sending, Li Shao will still accept it. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, this was not considered gray income. [In later generations, Zeng Guofan said that he was a clean official who was not greedy. But when he was in the Hanlin Academy, Daoguang was twenty-three years old, and he had less than a hundred taels, but this kind of income was six thousand taels a year] But to say that Li Shao openly loaded the so-called "native products" back on a ship, this long-term companion who was waiting for him to grow up, is really unbelievable.
What is a souvenir? In officialdom, isn't it silver! He didn't think his master could do such a thing.
"Fine? Are the two lives of you and my master and servant soft? Li Shao sighed helplessly, looked left and right, but said to the long man in a low voice, "According to the old man, this boat is not difficult to find, after looking for the boat, you will leave this camp, take the small guy who usually follows you, take care of the boatman, prepare the dry food, don't come back, three or four days soon, five or six days later, the old man will naturally look for you, understand?" Ding Rongcheng left the camp today, saying that if he went to attack Kyoto, with that unknown female general, ten thousand Korean soldiers would be able to suppress this huge territory? Only Concubine Yu Qian would want to hug her thighs, this time I'm afraid he will even have to put his life on it! He looked down on Xiang Wenyao, and felt that this person's virtue was not good, so naturally everything else was not worth mentioning, in his opinion, Ding Yi made a stupid move, and Wu Du would definitely be defeated by this barbarian woman.
Ding Yi was no longer in Chikuzen at this time, after the arrangement was made yesterday, and this morning the wind was good, so he left a regiment of Korean soldiers to guard the beachhead camp in Chikuzen, and pulled out six regiments of Korean soldiers to Wudugan, and then the soldiers of the other more than 10,000 foreign regiments, the Rongyi regiment and the guard regiment, including the Marine Brigade of the East China Sea Fleet, and other personnel, all got on the boat and headed for Izumo.
It was an impossible task to pacify Japan in a month, and it was impossible for Ding Yi to wait for the results of Wudu's battle before making other decisions. One is that he is unwilling to wait, and the other is that the imperial court is not willing to wait, because with the holy decree and the official documents of the Ministry of War, Yingzong's letter, as well as the intelligence summary written by Jin Yuying from the Jingshi side and Li Xian's letter.
Carrying these documents, Qiao dressed up and came with the proclamation team, but it was Wei Wencheng, who was also on the boat at this time, and smiled bitterly at Ding Yi: "The affairs of the Jingshi are in the hands of Jin Yuying and Liu Manxu, and they are responsible for the affairs of the Zhongyi Society and the Heaven and Earth Society. β
He was originally locked up after Ding Yi cut his post, but Ding Yi did not propose a punishment for him, which was not available to anyone, and he could only be taught. Ding Yi shook his head at him, signaling that there was no need to say such polite words at this time: "What is the situation on the Jingshi side." β
"It is impossible for the princes of the imperial court to endure that after Mr. was crowned the king of the county, he was still stranded in Japan and still held the military power." Wei Wencheng was not hypocritical, he knew Ding Yi's temperament, so he directly pointed out the important information, and presented the information summary and Li Xian's letters to the sect for a look.
Ding smiled slightly, and handed Wen JiΓ n to Yang Shousui and Liu Ji to circulate, including Li Xian's letters.
Yang Shou looked at it carefully, but Liu Ji glanced at ten lines, and said angrily after reading it: "How can this be reasonable!" The public deceives people too much! β
A lot of the information of the security yamen is analyzed based on clues, but it is not as straightforward as Li Xian's letters.
Although there are three words on the holy decree, the foreign army is not subordinate to the Sihai Metropolitan Governor's Office, and with Ding Yi's inauguration, the seat of the Sihai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can no longer be placed in Guangzhou Mansion, of course, it is going to move to the Americas. The reason why the cabinet and the six ministries agreed to these three words, in addition to Yingzong's insistence, there is also a problem, that is, no one is willing to take over this errand!
Of course, many of those who do not hesitate to kneel and lick for the sake of advancement are willing to go, but it is not their turn to speak, and the future president of the United States will suddenly resign or be impeached, and it is impossible to say that the speaker of a small town says that he is doing it, and then let him succeed him, right?
In other words, those who are qualified to take over the affairs of the two major governors are unwilling to go. Maang, for example, has this qualification, how can people be willing to go? Yu Qian's body doesn't last long, and even a henchman like Xiang Wenyao in the military department has been sent out to sea, Ma Ang is a good secretary of the military department, and he is about to take the lead alone, and he will supervise the affairs of the two major governors? He wouldn't go even if he was crazy;
Wang Ao, Wang Yanshan is also qualified, this old gentleman is willing to do anything, the problem is that he is gone, who will handle the mess of the ministry? Isn't it that no one can afford this burden, so they brought the begging Wang Yanshan back to the heavenly official? Why can't you let him go?
Of course, Yu Qian, who is absolutely qualified, whether he wants it or not, is so sick that he can't take care of things, and he wants Ma Ang to assist in the affairs of the ministry, and the emperor asks him to supervise the affairs of the two major metropolitan governors, so it is no different from giving death, right? According to this, the cabinet ministers are also qualified, but who wants to leave the center for no reason?
"Mr. is in front, and it is difficult to follow!" Li Bing looked at those texts, but said to Ding Yi with a wry smile.
He beat the drum, and the most important thing is that Ding Yi, who was the governor of the two major governors in front of him, made such monstrous feats, and the successors will inevitably be compared. Thinking about it for a while, the court ran out of money, and the household department would inevitably complain: "When Mr. Rongcheng was the governor, a boatload of gold, silver, grain and grass was transported back!" "When the royal family has no money, it is inevitable that they will think, "When Ding Rongcheng was the governor, when did he shorten the royal body?" β
In case there is another civil unrest or border trouble, it will be dealt with; If it drags on for a long time, then the yellow mud will drop the pants, and it's not and!
"In this way, why didn't the princes of the imperial court cut the two major governors' mansions?" Yang Shousui was the slowest to watch, and only finished reading it at this time, but when he looked up, he saluted Ding first, and then said, "Sir, forgive me, the student said bluntly." If it weren't for the battle of Tumubao, he would have had to be in the camp of Daxing in Beijing, and he opened this head, and there is Da Sima, a figure who knows military affairs, and the saint has great faith in Mr. β
Ding Yi listened, shook his head, and slowly spoke after a while: "War dividends." The world is bustling! β
And the imperial court can naturally cut off the two metropolitan governors, but, one word, money.
Ding carried silver and gold back by boat, and grain was also brought back by sea ships.
This is called a war dividend, don't say anything about China's wealth and clouds, that's a war dividend that I haven't seen!
I was reluctant to cut it, so the Sixth Cabinet Department had a compromise with Yingzong and let Ding Yi keep this errand, but this does not mean that they would agree to Ding Yi's support of the army, except for the guard regiment, the second division is now in Yingzong's hands, and no one can let him go. Others, such as the 1st, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Ming Dynasty, and the six Marine Brigades, are all to be re-controlled under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War!
Li Shao was instructed by the bigwigs of the imperial court to be so arrogant as soon as he arrived in Zhuqian! (To be continued......)
