Chapter 442: Eastern Crusade! Exorcise the wolf!

It's August.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Yingtian City is full of lanterns, the whole country is peaceful, and the transportation, sea and land transportation hold up this prosperous capital.

Nowadays, every festival in Yingtian City is an unforgettable event. The products of Tiannan and Haibei were loaded and transported to the capital division, filling the daily operation of the city of the Son of Heaven.

The current Yingtian City can be said to have the largest variety of goods in the world. Gold and silver artifacts as far away as the continent of Europa, as well as intricate mysterious objects, fill the streets and alleys of Yingtian City.

On the Longwan Wharf outside the west city, every day is a thousand miles of boats, hundreds of boats compete for the stream, thousands of sails on the river are racing, and the wall is like a cloud. Near the trestle bridges that jut out into the river are rows of merchant ships that have dropped their anchors.

Countless goods pass through the Waijinchuan Gate, and enter Yingtian City through the Jinchuan Gate, Zhongfu Gate, and Yifeng Gate. It's just that there are too many goods now, so that the West City, which originally seemed empty and barren in Yingtian City, has now built more warehouses in addition to the barracks.

And in the outer Jinchuan Gate Longwan Wharf to the east, to the direction of Shangyuanmen.

It is rumored that in order to alleviate the pressure on Longwan Wharf and dredge the traffic in Xicheng, Ying Tianfu intends to dig a larger wharf and a centralized storage place for goods outside Shangyuan Gate.

According to the intention of the newly appointed prefect of Tianfu, the scale of Shangyuanmen Wharf will be the size of ten Longwan Wharves.

The entire northwest area of Xuanwu Lake will become a freight distribution center, handling a large amount of goods every day, supplying the vitality of Yingtiancheng and delivering a steady stream of nutrients to the world.

He even wanted to re-dig a river channel from Shangyuanmen to Xuanwu Lake, according to the newly promoted prefect of Yingtianfu, the original river channel was too narrow, so that the imperial court's performance in Xuanwu Lake was like a naughty boy playing in the water in a bathtub.

And this is a new prefect of Tianfu who came out of Xinxue and returned to Beijing from Jiaozhi Province with the former political envoy of Jiaozhi Dao. As soon as his recital was reported to the Wenyuan Pavilion, it was approved almost without any questioning.

So the prefect, who was the official of Ying Tianfu's parents, began to fight explosives to open up the wasteland and dig the river.

Today.

Ying Tianfu received a notice early in the morning, demanding that the entire Jinchuan Gate to the outer Jinchuan Gate be blocked, the Longwan Wharf should be blocked, and all official, commercial and civilian ships on the trestle should be emptied.

When Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Tianfu, learned the news in the morning, he was angry.

At this time, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, countless goods were waiting to be transported into the city on the wharf, and now the imperial court actually wanted to block the entire Longwan Wharf for a whole day, and the impact was immeasurable for Ying Tianfu.

"Fuzun, this order was issued from under the cabinet, and we dare not accept it. Longwan Wharf was sealed, and there was Dongshuiguan Wharf in the south of the city that could be used temporarily, and it was just a one-day delay. ”

Ying Tianfu's magistrate carefully explained, appeasing the anger of his own mansion lord.

Zou Xueyu is far from being as old as the officials, but he is more majestic, just turning his neck, he makes the officials in the surrounding government lower their heads.

"What the hell are you going to do today?"

The cabinet's order is unquestionable, Zou Xueyu's eyes flickered, and he turned to ask why he wanted to block and empty the Longwan Pier today.

The magistrate lowered his head on the side and whispered: "Huifuzun, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court's eastern expedition set out from the dock today." His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun personally set up an altar to set up generals for the army. ”

"Crusade?" Zou Xueyu's brows furrowed obviously.

The magistrate sighed a little helplessly, as long as he lowered his head, he could see the mud on the legs of his lord.

These days, because of the construction of the Shangyuanmen Wharf and the digging of a wider river from the Shangyuanmen Wharf to Xuanwu Lake, the prefect of Yingtianfu, who was dressed in a big red robe, stayed in that large area that can only be described as barren all day long, and he never cared about the affairs above the court.

Zou Xueyu stopped, stood on the street and looked at the noisy crowd around him, these were the people under the rule of the prefect of Yingtianfu.

The magistrate and the rest of the officials did not know what the government was going to do.

And Zou Xueyu had already lifted his legs, stomped heavily on the ground a few times, and shook off a large piece of mud before he raised his head and looked at the pusher: "How is it?" Have you ever been in the way of the official? Will it collide with His Highness? ”

The magistrate sighed helplessly: "Fuzun, you just go to the dock, who is Your Highness, I won't blame Fuzun." ”

The magistrate said this, but in his heart, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Today is the day when the imperial court marches eastward, and the imperial grandson wants to set up an altar at Longwan Wharf to cheer for the army. At that time, the scene must be dominated by the meritorious generals from the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and then the officials of the six ministries and five temples.

It is the Gyeonggi prefect of the third grade, but in that kind of scene, it is not enough to see.

Zou Xueyu nodded and continued to rush all the way to the Longwan Wharf outside the Jinchuan Gate.

Before the others had passed the Waijinchuan Gate, they waved their fingers to the side: "On both sides of this street, it is not allowed to throw away sundries at will, and it is not allowed to park at will to obstruct traffic. ”

The official is becoming more and more helpless, and now this mansion really wants to come out one by one.

But no one dared to say anything against it, and no one in Ying Tianfu didn't know that the mansion was followed by the man in Wenyuan Pavilion who everyone respected as the little high pavilion elder.

Money can't be spent indiscriminately, and the officials who followed Xiao Gaoge from Jiaozhi Road at the beginning can fight and calculate, and no one can eat oil and water. But these officials can always find the right oil and water at the right time to supplement everyone up and down the yamen.

These are people with great skills.

The magistrate followed behind Zou Xueyu, waved his hand to the scribe beside him, and motioned to the other party to record the relevant opinions of Lord Fuzun on the management of public security in the streets behind Jinchuan Gate outside Yingtian City.

A group of people rushed to the docks one after another.

When Zou Xueyu rushed out of the city gate, a huge Longwan Wharf that made him feel strange appeared in front of him.

In the dock area outside the entire city gate, countless colorful flags and ribbons flutter in the river breeze.

Treasure ships and warships at the same height as Ying Tiancheng were quietly docked on the trestle, but they slowly rose and fell with the flow of the river.

Groups of officers and soldiers of the upper and direct relatives of the army and guards divided the area of the wharf, but in the surrounding and high places, there were countless people and businessmen watching the court officials and officers and soldiers on the wharf.

In the same way, the ships that were driven away from the docks lowered their anchors upstream, and the crews and merchants climbed to the top of the ship to look out at everything on the docks.

Under the city gate, on a simple high platform altar, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of the people for the first time.

The position speaks for itself.

Zhu Yunxi stood in front of an offering table with tiger talismans and treasure knives, and behind him were Ren Hengtai and Seo Yungong, followed by Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi.

As for Zhai Shan, the secretary of the Ministry who finally came out of the Tai Hospital, as well as Yu Xin, the secretary of the household department, Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, they were all half a step behind the four people in front.

Further down, there are the other officials of the Six Ministries, Five Temples and Three Dharma Divisions.

The meritorious generals of the national dynasty under the Dadu Governor's Mansion did not appear on the platform today, because no matter whether they were needed for the Eastern Expedition or not, all the meritorious generals who were in Beijing today were dressed up in battle and lined up in front of the platform.

Behind the meritorious generals, there are not many martial arts students who are uniformly wearing the exclusive training robes of martial arts students in the martial arts hall. On the left and right sides and in the rear, they are the elite officers and soldiers of the Beijing Army under the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the division of the Tiger Ben who is directly pro-military guard.

The generals wore armor stomachs that had followed them for more than 30 years, carried the treasure swords that drank countless blood, and were full of fierce battle intent.

The officers and soldiers around him were spewing murderous aura all the time, as well as the yearning for military exploits in the depths of Tong Kong.

The people who appeared on the docks today were all members of the Eastern Crusade who had been selected by the Metropolitan Governor's Office through layers of layers.

A total of 20,000 men will be used as the first batch of reinforcements to go east by ship to conquer the Japanese kingdom.

Led by Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Eastern Expedition, as the governor of the naval division battalion of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the deputy governor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army went to the Wa Kingdom.

As for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, it was renamed from the original True Japanese Army, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, unsurprisingly won the position of General of the Eastern Expedition and the Governor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the court, and led the entire Eastern Expedition to comprehensively manage the affairs of the Japanese State.

Ren Hengtai, as the first assistant of the cabinet, held the will of the Eastern Crusade with gorgeous rhetoric, and with the help of several megaphones, shouted to the soldiers on the entire dock, conveying the will of the emperor and the imperial court.

The will is more to explain the procedural justice of the Ming Dynasty's eastern expedition to the Wa Kingdom, as well as the deep sins of the Wa State, so that the Ming Dynasty had to send troops to fight in order to maintain the peace of this wonderful world again.

After Ren Hengtai finished reading this beautiful will, he asked Xie Jin in a low voice to the side: "Who wrote this will, it's not bad." ”

Xie Jin skimmed his head and snorted and said in a low voice: "I asked the governor of the Yamen of the General Political Envoy to write it." ”

Ren Hengtai was stunned for a moment, and then stopped discussing these with Xie Jin, but rolled up the holy decree and carefully placed it on the offering table behind Zhu Yunxi.

Finally, it came behind Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, this point will cheer to strengthen the morale of the army." ”

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered.

The colorful flags in front of him seemed to form a dreamy scene in front of his eyes.

In the depths of the picture, there are countless things that are familiar to me but are becoming more and more unfamiliar.

When the voice of the cabinet leader reached his ears, he woke up from his dream.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the army gathered in front of him, and couldn't help but chuckle, as time passed, the number of times he saw those dreamy pictures became less and less.

He turned around and held the tiger talisman and the treasure knife on the offering table with his left and right hands respectively, and turned around to the front of the worship platform.

"Crusade! Lonely to the king! ”

The promise of the king.

Just one sentence instantly ignited all the soldiers, and there was no need for more cheering words to boost the morale of the army.

Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Warriors, shook off his robe from the stage, and the wind blew the robe, making him like an undefeated god of war, from the stage to the stage.

Poof.

Zhu Shou clasped his hands into fists, landed on one knee, knelt heavily on the worship platform, and knelt in front of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.

"Wang'er and others will win all battles!"

"Wang'er is waiting for the triumphant return!"

"Wang'er is safe and sound!"

Zhu Yunxi extended his highest blessings, and then sent the tiger talisman and treasure knife in his hand to Zhu Shou's hands that had been raised high and had been prepared for a long time.

Woowoo......

Winter Winter ......

On the entire outer Jinchuan Gate city wall, countless horns and war drums sounded at the same time.

A cannon with a thick door and bowl mouth was assumed to be on the shore, venting the invincible battle spirit of the Ming Dynasty towards the sky.

Artillery roared.

The officers and men began to board the ship.

The first to board the ship were the officers and soldiers selected by the guards of the Beijing army, then the men and horses of the Shangzhi military guards, and finally the generals at all levels in the army and the hundreds of martial arts students who were about to graduate but were sent to the front line of the Wa Kingdom by a military order from the Dadu Governor's Office.

In the end, Zhu Shou boarded the flagship warship with the largest size.

A bright red battle robe floated into people's sight from the bow of the ship.

The sailor warship docked on the trestle, loosened the fixed rope and took out the anchor that had sunk to the bottom.

The long sound of horns came from the warships, echoing the sound of horns, war drums, and cannons on the dock.

When the fleet slowly sailed towards the center of the river, the people around the wharf erupted in loud cheers, and everyone was sending the purest blessings and expectations to the army of the Eastern Expedition.

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries on the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

Taisun called slowly, causing everyone present to bow down in unison.

Zhu Yunxi gently slapped his palm on the offering table: "Gu thinks that the so-called people's desire is what Gu sees at this moment." What do you think, guys? ”

Officials all said yes.

Sure enough, Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtianfu, who was squeezed at the back, raised his head on tiptoe and looked at the imperial grandson in front of him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

When he was in Jiaozhi Dao, he had met His Royal Highness Taisun, who was still leading the army to charge forward, but now he has grown to the point where he can wipe out a domain with a wave of his hand.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and tapped his finger joints three times on the offering table: "In this way, it will all be dispersed." Put your mind on the government, the new policy, and the Eastern Crusade. The Ming Dynasty can give meritorious soldiers the title of king, or let you rest with the country. ”

……

Rumble!

The latest cannon of the general prison burst out with a huge roar and fire in Li Jinglong's ears, with a thick smoke of gunpowder, which instantly enveloped him and Tie Xuan.

"Phew!"

Li Jinglong spat one after another, then pressed his palm on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and looked at the two armies that were fighting against each other at the foot of the mountain in front of him.

"Tell the people of the Yoshino family, let them send another 5,000 people to the top, if they don't attack the city today, the artillery fire of the Ming army will fall on them!"

Tie Xuan nodded silently, waving his hand to signal the herald in front of the formation to convey the general's order.

This is a ploy to drive away the wolf.

Use the lives of the Yoshino family in the Southern Dynasty to maximize the power of the Ashikaga family in the Northern Dynasty.

A clear conspiracy.

The Yoshino family honestly charged with their lives one by one, and the Ming Dynasty would always be their most solid ally. If the Yoshino family is disobedient, the Ming army, which has been behind the battle line, will become the burial of the Yoshino family.

"Then tell them that if they can break under the walls, we can break down the walls and allow the Yoshino family to take possession of the castle alone for three days to rest."

Li Jinglong added, looking at the city with a population of only 350,000 at the bottom of the hillside.

With this sentence, the people of this city will never leave this city again.
