Chapter 450: Unprecedented Ming

The officers and soldiers who returned by boat from outside the East China Sea did not stop, holding military orders all the way to Yingtian City without hindrance.

Waijinchuanmen Street, Jinchuanmenwai Street, Jinchuanmennei Street, Gulouwai Street, Huangnigang, Yushi Street, Sanyanjing, Lianhuaqiao, Hongwu Street, Pearl Bridge, West Eighteen Wei, West Huangchenggen North Street.

The officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army went all the way to the Xihua Gate.

"Good news for the Eastern Crusade Army!" The leading officers and soldiers opened their mouths, which were already dry and hot, and shouted at the forbidden army under the city gate.

The forbidden soldiers guarding the city gate jumped in their hearts, and hurriedly moved away from the barrier and opened the city gate. The military reports of the armies of all parties in the imperial court have always been unimpeded, not to mention such good news, no one dares to stop it.

…… Bang ...... In Wenyuan Pavilion, footsteps were frequent. The four cabinet ministers were all present, including Zhai Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yu Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Qi Zhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Jiang Yi, the imperial history of Zuodu, and the envoy Lai Zheng were all called into the cabinet one by one.

In addition, Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, and Wu Siqing were all present. In addition to the civilian officials, the governors of the five military governors under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the meritorious services in Beijing were also present.

"The Eastern Crusade Army's contribution to the destruction of the country?" In the cabinet that has never been so overcrowded, Yuan Sutai, who was dressed in a prominent red robe, asked softly with a happy look on his face.

The officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who returned to Beijing to report the victory knelt on one knee in the house, feeling the pressure brought by the elders around them, and only felt that there was more pressure than being trapped in the most dangerous battle formation.

Xie Jin looked behind the dense crowd of people, and there was the empty courtyard outside the cabinet gate. Ren Hengtai looked at the room full of people, and looked at Yuan Sutai with a smile: "Young Master, please sit down, there are so many things in Shanglin Yuan that the Young Master has to worry about every day, it's really hard." "The room is full of the ministers of the imperial court, the officials of the Zhengyin Hall.

But Ren Hengtai only asked Yuan Sutai to sit, but no one present had an opinion. Yuan Sutai's contribution to increasing grain production is enough to enjoy the Taimiao after death, and it is completely a fool to compete with such a character.

The Hanlin people, who were seconded to work in Wenyuan Pavilion, personally moved the stool and placed it behind Yuan Sutai. Yuan Sutai knew that he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to sit down.

At this time, Xie Jin spoke: "Everyone should sit down." I think Your Highness is coming over soon, so don't be impatient. With the second assistant's words, everyone smiled and sat down one by one.

Zhai Shan, the secretary of the ministry, is a little envious of the four Ren Hengtai, he is clearly the heavenly official of the dynasty, and he has never been low in rank, but now that the new policy is now, the cabinet is newly established.

In the imperial court, the specifications of the cabinet have never been specified, but the rules have been quietly established.

What about the heavenly officials, there must be a waiting person to move a stool in the cabinet. Xu Yungong, who represents the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion among the four members of the cabinet, looked left and right at the overcrowded cabinet today, although he had tried his best to restrain the joy in his heart, but his ruddy and glowing cheeks all told the joy in his heart.

Today is the highlight moment of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty. The merit of destroying the country was sent back by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and dedicated to the king.

Xu Yungong couldn't suppress it, and looked at the court nobles sitting together again and again, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Peal pedal, pedal, pedal. Outside the cabinet, there was finally a rush of footsteps. A large crowd came from outside.

Zhu Yunxi still had the smell of milk on his body, and there was a big wet piece on his chest, so he hurried over from the Qianqing Palace before he had time to change his clothes.

Behind him, Zhu Gaochi was alone. The accompanying guards stopped outside the door. Zhu Yunxi walked into the house, and without waiting for the civil and military forces present to speak, he immediately pressed his hand and said, "Sit down." Your Majesty asked Gu to tell him that His Majesty should have heard this good news in person, but there was something entangled in the Qianqing Palace, so he asked Gu Xian to come over to listen to the specifics, and also set the future of Yingzhou Road with you. Although the imperial grandson asked everyone not to get up, everyone present, including the four cabinet members of Ren Hengtai, gave up one after another.

Ren Hengtai, as the foreman of the Ming Dynasty now, bowed forward, his face full of joy: "The Eastern Expeditionary Army founded the merit of destroying the country, and the Qiankun determined Yingzhou Road, and the ministers congratulated Daming, Your Majesty, and Your Highness." Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and saw that everyone present was standing still one by one, and he could only find the main seat and sit down.

Ren Hengtai coughed lightly and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expedition who returned to Beijing: "You and explain the details of Yingzhou Road to Your Highness again." After finishing speaking, Ren Hengtai sat down by himself.

When he sat down, the other civilians and soldiers present sat down one by one. Zhu Yunxi looked at the officers and soldiers with nervous faces on their faces, and said softly: "Say it, it's over early, so that the palace can give rewards, and you can go eat and drink by yourself." "It was the first time that the officers and soldiers had seen so many court officials by their side, and it was also the first time they had seen His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.

However, His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson does not have the majesty and majesty in the play, but he seems to be very kind.

The officers and soldiers took a deep breath, and then re-sorted out the news brought back by Yingzhou Dao, and came to this Wenyuan Pavilion one by one.

"Back to Your Highness, a month ago, the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived at the sea off Yingzhou Road by a naval division warship, and received the general's order, and the naval division was divided into three places to prepare for the situation in Yingzhou Road in one fell swoop. One to Kyoto Castle, one to the place where the Ashikaga family was confidant, and one to the place where the three sides fought. On that day, the general led the army into battle and drove the Yoshino family soldiers and horses to attack the city. When the Ashikaga family army arrived, the Yoshino family rebelled in front of the battle, and the enemy army came from all sides, surrounded and killed on all sides, and the enemy army was several times the strength of our army, intending to encircle and suppress our army. "Shhh...... The officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who returned to Beijing calmly told about a magnificent war, but there was a gasp in the cabinet.

Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty originally had only more than 20,000 people in the Japanese army. It was also necessary to defend the Iwami Silver Mine and Treasure Island, and this time thousands of soldiers and horses went to Kyoto Castle in the Southern Dynasty.

There are only about 10,000 soldiers and horses who can go to the front line. How is the country of the Japanese in the land of projectiles, such a battle to encircle the Ming army, how can you take out 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses.

The officers and men who returned to Beijing would speak through words the good news recorded in writing. Cabinet officials have painted in their minds a tragic picture of war.

Under the setting sun, the Ming army, which was less than 10,000 people, was compressed on a small battlefield, surrounded by mountains and tsunamis, dense turns, and countless Japanese people.

That battle must have been tragic. Even if the combat strength of the Ming army is outstanding, but in a foreign country, facing several times the enemy, the Ming army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In the cabinet, there is a little more heaviness and pain. The officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expedition who had returned to Beijing from the Japanese Kingdom couldn't help frowning, and they were quite puzzled why the faces of these court elders present suddenly became solemn one by one.

Do they think that it is not enough to kill the enemy in a large army? Zhu Yunxi glanced at the officers and soldiers with a surging gaze: "What's your name?" He somewhat understood the reaction of the civil and military forces present, and also knew what this officer and soldier who had returned to Beijing from the Japanese State were thinking.

Niu Dafu's face tightened, and he clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, the small ones are the Eastern Expedition Army, the front camp of the infantry army, the 3,000 households, and the 400 households Niu Dafu." ”

"That's a good name." Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hand: "You go on, what happened to the aftermath of the battle on the front line." Because of his merits, Niu Dafu, who has been promoted from the chief flag officer to the hundred-household official, cleared his throat.

"Back to His Royal Highness, on that day, our army faced several times the enemy, the general's face was fearless, and everyone in the army held their heads high, full of fighting spirit, and thirsty for war. The enemy surrounded our army, and the forward cavalry had approached a hundred paces in front of our formation. Just at that time, the imperial reinforcements arrived, carrying the new artillery on the ships of the naval division, and rushed to the battlefield. For a time, thousands of cannons fired in unison, the momentum was huge, and the sky and the earth were cracked. The Japanese people were terrified and did not dare to go forward. The artillery fell into the enemy's ranks, and in an instant the sky was full of stumps and broken arms, and blood flowed everywhere. The general ordered the drummers in the army to move, and the war drums sounded for a long time. The army went out to fight, and joined forces with reinforcements to besiege and kill the enemy. There was another bang in the cabinet.

When everyone traced away, they saw Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, with a face full of surprise: "The artillery on the naval division warship can actually keep up with the speed of the rapid march of the army?" How powerful is that? After finishing speaking, Wang Jun's face turned red.

The military department Shangshu Ruyu beside him didn't make a sound, but his mouth moved lightly twice. Idiot.

He Wang Jun was a scholar of the Ministry of Works, but he didn't know how powerful the new artillery built by the imperial court for the naval warships could be and what kind of improvements could be made.

Wang Jun suddenly panicked in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked around. Sure enough, all the eyes were filled with sympathetic sympathy from colleagues in the DPRK and China.

And at this time, Gao Yangzhi, who was at the end of the cabinet, suddenly spoke: "If Weichen is not mistaken, the new artillery used by the sailor is still made by Zhang Ergong, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, in the workshop over there in the Taiping Mansion Mine." As soon as he said this, a few subtle sneers suddenly sounded in the cabinet.

Xie Jin lowered his head and looked sideways at his student a little helplessly. Lord Shoufu picked up the teacup, and with the help of moistening his mouth, he glanced at the little high pavilion elder.

Wang Jun's whole face was already as red as a boiled shrimp, and a dense layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Smack. Wang Jun shook his hands and knelt straight on the ground in front of everyone.

"The minister is guilty of negligence." Niu Dafu was a little puzzled, and glanced at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu in a big red robe kneeling beside him strangely.

How can he be so dignified, he was still talking about the victory, and this person knelt down and said that he was wrong.

Zhu Yunxi leaned back, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is this year's Qimen Red?" Ren Hengtai immediately spoke: "In autumn, it is not appropriate to drink green tea again, and it is not appropriate to change this Qimen red to nourish the stomach." ”

"It's a little inappropriate...... Zhu Yunxi took another sip of Qimen red, put down the teacup, and then said: "Isn't it the matter of the Eastern Expeditionary Army that we are discussing today?" Why does the king want to plead guilty, and get up. Wang Jun screamed silently in his heart, and his whole person softened.

After half a ring, Wang Jun got up tremblingly, bowed down and clenched his fists: "Weichen takes the order." Then Wang Jun retreated to his seat.

In the cabinet, countless eyes are circulating. The Ministry of Industry is going to be finished! Everyone knew in their hearts that it was not appropriate to drink green tea at this time, but that Wang Jun, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Works, did not know the new artillery of the water division, which was very inappropriate.

It's not appropriate, just like green tea is not suitable for this season, just change it to Qimen red. Niu Dafu pondered it carefully, and felt that what had just happened seemed to have nothing to do with him, and seeing that no one was talking at the moment, he continued to state.

"In this battle, our army killed 45,000 enemies." As soon as he said a word, the entire cabinet was in an uproar.

There is a world of difference between killing 45,000 enemies and defeating 45,000 enemy troops. With just this sentence, more than 45,000 Japanese people were buried on the battlefield far away from Yingtian City here, and died under the swords and guns of the Ming army.

It's a way to leave no room for life! In an instant, everyone reacted. Including Ren Hengtai, many civil officials turned their eyes to the imperial grandson who was sitting on it.

The killing is too heavy. Zhu Yunxi sat silently. Niu Dafu continued: "After killing the enemy, the army sought the enemy, detained more than 18,000 Japanese soldiers, and the general issued a military order to send it to the Iwami Silver Mine and Treasure Island to expand the scale of imperial mining. On the side of Kyoto City, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses of our army, and the naval warships were bombarded in the city. Although our army had the intention to rescue, under the fire, the members of the Yoshino family and the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom in Kyoto Castle were unfortunately killed and died in the fire, and the royal palace built in Kyoto Castle is now a blank field. After the war, our army should have obeyed the military order to appease the people of Kyoto, but we did not want the officers and soldiers in the battalion to be repeatedly ambushed and killed by Japanese thieves, which would lead to riots among the people in the city. In order to protect their own safety, our army had to show its swords and guns. It took five days to quell the turmoil in Kyoto. Afterwards, the warden in the army checked that because of the rebellion of the thieves, the people in the city were implicated, and only less than 8,000 people survived afterwards. Our army in the city of Kyoto reported to the Chinese army, and the Chinese army agreed that in order to avoid the survival of the situation in the city, the less than 8,000 people had gathered at the wharf outside the city for the time being. And sent a good news to the Beijing Division, asking the imperial court to allow the people to move to the iron mine in Qiongzhou Mansion to promote a new place to live and stabilize the people's livelihood. Ren Hengtai, who was promoted to the cabinet from the position of secretary of the ministry, pondered for a long time.

He really couldn't figure out which one of the Eastern Crusade army came up with such a match. Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of thinking about the Japanese people.

Kyoto Castle, which belonged to the core of the Yoshino clan of the Southern Dynasty of the Wakoku Dynasty, had less than 8,000 citizens left after the war.

Ren Hengtai didn't want to calculate how many people had died in this city in those days. The so-called thieves are in rebellion and coerce the people.

I'm afraid it's also a rhetoric that has been whitewashed countless times. This kind of Daming seems to be different from the Daming he once knew.

"Good! Cao Guo's mansion is kind-hearted! He is a role model for my generation! Recently, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, who had just led part of the troops in Beijing to return to Beijing for rotation under the command of Hou Muying of Xiping, slapped his thigh and shouted.

As a result, Ren Hengtai's face became even more depressed. ……………… Recommended commuter passes
