Chapter 159: Quick Victory
"One hundred steps, one hundred steps already! They're still moving forward! ”
Li Chengxiu's head is as big as a fight, such a fierce and disciplined enemy, the momentum alone is enough to scare the peasant army that follows him, fortunately, these 10,000 people are the elite of the rebel army, although the current camp is a little panicked, there are no soldiers who retreat without authorization.
The normal musketeers were supposed to start the first round of fire after 200 paces, but the enemy did not stop firing until 100 paces, and continued to advance towards the rebels like a moving fortress.
Ninety steps, eighty steps, seventy steps......
The rebel vanguard was in full swing, and no general dared to give the order to charge.
The distance of dozens of steps was instantaneous, and there was not much time for Li Chengxiu to hesitate.
Thirty steps!
The enemy finally stopped, and the swarthy muzzle of the gun was almost against his head.
Li Chengxiu finally reacted, "The whole army is attacking!" ”
At such a close distance, the power of the musket was almost heavenly, and the Goryeo rebels, who were mainly in close combat, did not take the initiative to attack, that is, they waited for the enemy to line up and shoot.
"Boom, boom!"
Lee Sung-so's shouts were covered by a rush of enemy artillery.
There were at least hundreds of artillery pieces of various kinds, and at the same time they fired at Li Chengxiu's 10,000 elites, and there was a wail all of a sudden, although there were not too many people killed, only one or two hundred, but the people who were hit by the shells were all shattered, and the tragic situation was extremely terrifying, and the rebel camp was in chaos.
"Bang bang bang!"
What is even more terrifying is the musket that shoots at the head, and the guns pass by in rows, and the Goryeo rebel forwards stand in front of them one or two rows and fall like harvested wheat, and there is not even a single person left standing, and there are more than 1,000 casualties in this breath, and the inferior shields of the Goryeo rebels are pierced by muskets like rotten wood, which does not play any role at all.
This time, Li Chengxiu's army was in turmoil!
There are 10,000 people in total, and 1,000 died in one breath, this kind of fast-paced casualties are the effect of a decisive battle with cold weapons, even if it is an invincible Manchu iron cavalry in the world, it takes a pillar of incense to kill a thousand rebels, right?
The rest of the rebels were already in disarray, some fierce generals with a small number of soldiers to make a decisive charge, and there were hundreds of them.
Most of them were panicked in shock, not knowing whether to follow the military orders to attack or not.
However, they didn't even have a chance to disobey Lee Sung-so's military orders.
The hundreds of rebels who charged to the death got what they wanted, and they were all beaten into a sieve by muskets without even having a chance to contact the enemy, and the enemy had 4,000 muskets, and the first round of fire just now was only the fire of more than a thousand muskets in the first row.
The muskets in the second row had already been moved to the front, and not only killed the seven or eight hundred who had died, but also one or two hundred of those who hesitated behind, and the enemy's artillery had not stopped since the first shot, and the shells were pouring down from the air like no money.
Of the more than 2,000 soldiers killed and wounded by the Goryeo rebels, in addition to the dead, the rest were seriously wounded and lightly wounded, and they all fell on the hellish battlefield where blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains.
The rebels' spiritual defense line has finally been defeated, you must know that at the forefront is also the most loyal Li Chengxiu, the most elite Ping'an Dao water division.
There were already several generals with two or three thousand people who retreated without authorization, ignoring Li Chengxiu's orders, and the remaining more than 5,000 people were also indecent, at this time, the strength of the two sides was not much different, and the enemy had only suffered hundreds of casualties after the rebels' bow and arrow baptism.
Li Chengxiu raised his long knife and scolded: "Attack!" Those who retreat will be killed! ”
However, what was waiting was that before he started to move, a large force of Daxing appeared in the enemy's rear team, more than just now, there were tens of thousands of people, and it was naturally the main force of Jiao Xuewen's Daxing army!
The rebels did not hesitate any longer, turned around and ran away, and even Li Chengxiu was pulled back by his own soldiers.
"General, it's the Daxing Army! Let's get back into the army first, there are too many of them! ”
The captain of the pro-soldier was on the sidelines and persuaded bitterly.
However!
Yang Xin has a famous saying, on the battlefield, never leave your back to the enemy, even if you die, you must face the enemy!
This is Yang Xin's experience in summing up all the battles in history, and it is also the first iron law he gave to the Daxing army, violating this article, the consequences are very serious, not only will they be dealt with by military law, and their heads will be cut off, but even their families will be affected, if they are nationals, they will be disqualified, not only that, but the whole family will be expelled from Daxing and will never be hired.
In all wars in history, when the casualties are the largest, it is always the moment of retreat, and even if the whole army is annihilated, the enemy will definitely pay a heavy price, even if there is a generation difference in weapons, it cannot be avoided.
Obviously, such a rabble of the Goryeo rebels could not do it.
Jiao Xuewen ordered the whole army to attack, and the main force of the mercenaries behind them ran even faster than Xue Laosan's forwards, most of them were homeless people and bandits from Shandong, who came to fight, according to Daxing, they were not Daxing troops, they were just hired, and they were no different from hired workers who built roads and cities, and they all relied on grabbing heads for money.
The enemy has begun to retreat, those who are not enemies, they are all white silver, a head is worth twenty taels, and grabbing one is enough for ordinary people to work in Daxing for a year, where is there any reason not to rob?
"Kill!"
A mercenary Qianhu of Daxing, who looked extremely fierce, rushed to the front with a long knife.
"Monk Hua, take your people to chase after that Goryeo boss with me, float on the water, you take fifty people to collect people's heads in the back, don't be robbed by others!"
Qianhu gave an order while running, and in order to pursue, he even left behind his own 1,000 main forces, and only rushed to the front with more than 300 of the most elite henchmen.
The front was full of rebels' backs, and the general was so brave that no one dared to stand in his way, and everyone he touched was brutally hacked to the ground.
"Big brother, there are still more than 700 musketeers behind us who haven't kept up!"
A man on the side said hurriedly.
"! Now that the muskets are useless, tell them to throw away their guns and quickly follow with knives! ”
The strong man gave the order without hesitation.
It's not that the muskets are useless, it's just that the enemy keeps running, and when you get on the bullets and run away, the strong man thinks they are too slow, so he simply orders to throw away the gun.
The man listened to it and said, "Big brother, no, if you don't have a gun when you go back, will they deduct the money?" ”
The strong man was suddenly angry, "Deduction of money? Brothers are fighting hard, how can they deduct money? Order a hundred people to stay where they are and guard their guns, and the others will quickly follow if they lose their guns, their lives can be lost, and they will definitely not be able to deduct money! ”
The man hurriedly gave the order and left.
At this time, the battlefield of the Daxing Army has become a slaughter field, the mercenaries are like wolves and tigers, and their movements are much faster than all the neat and orderly Daxing forwards.
Even the strikers of the Daxing Army were immobilized by them, because the mercenaries had no camp to rob madly, and the way forward had been blocked, so Xue Laosan had to order the strikers to become guards and press the formation in the back to prevent the rebels from counterattacking.
At this time, Jiao Xuewen had already brought a hundred personal soldiers, and these more than 100 people were the regular army of Daxing, and they still maintained a complete formation, and came to Xue Laosan's army.
"Big brother, what's the matter with your people, not only are they robbing us for heads, but they are even robbing the road?"
As soon as Xue Laosan called Jiao Xuewen, he complained wildly.
Jiao Xuewen looked helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Third brother, let them rush, this will not even listen to the orders of me, the general soldier, and the generals at the level of thousands of households under his command are pulling their henchmen to grab people's heads, and I don't know what King Xing thinks, I think most of these people recruited are thieves from Shandong." ”
Lin Fatzi on the side was very calm, and said with a smile: "What are you panicking about? I think King Xing is right, how much time does it take to train a regular army like ours? These thieves can go to the battlefield without training, they don't want money or their lives, where will they care about the orders of you, the chief soldier, in my opinion, we will press the formation in the back. ”
"Lin Fatzi, what you said is easy, what about our combat exploits? It's all robbed! ”
Xue Laosan's face was not convinced, he worked hard to rush to the front, and he suffered hundreds of casualties, but when he grabbed people's heads, these mercenaries ran faster than rabbits.
The three of them ordered the army to move forward slowly and press the formation, while chatting helplessly.
Lin Fatzi only smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, you won't order to shoot at your own people and grab the road, right?" and your military judges shall not let you do so. ”
Xue Laosan really thought about doing this just now!
But after all, the Daxing army is highly disciplined, even if he gives the order, there are military judges below, and the generals under him do not dare to obey orders.
This is also the difference between the Daxing Army and the army of this era, there are special military judges in charge of military law, and it is not the turn of the chief general to call the shots.
The chief general can only be responsible for commanding the war, and the promotion of other soldiers, logistics and supply, recruiting soldiers, handing over the spoils of war and paying military salaries, and military law are all responsible for special departments, and the power of the chief general is much smaller.
Li Chengxiu's main force was defeated, and although they fled into the camp of the main force of the Chinese army, they also brought chaos into the main force of the rebels.
The wolf-like mercenaries slaughtered the rebel army and started the crazy head-grabbing mode, and soon, the rebel army was in chaos, and some people had begun to flee.
Yang Xin stood at the head of the city and watched everything in front of him.
"The Daxing army is really powerful, the rebels are gone, King Xing really has nothing to say to us Goryeo, it's like a reborn parent!"
Jin Sheng on the side bowed his head and Nan, who was hunched down, patted his ass.
Yang Xin said with a smile: "Don't be polite to Elder Jin, we are a brotherly alliance, not to mention that you also married your daughter to me, we should speed up the cooperative relationship, and your Jin family's Korean Commerce and Trade can fully cooperate with our Daxing firm." ”
He also doesn't forget to do business at the moment.
Jin Shengnan shook his head and said: "King Xing, no need, it is enough for the king's Goryeo business to cooperate with Daxing business, the old Jin family's Korean trade decided to cooperate with Xingwang Fan's Yuxin business, Lao Yu has inquired, Daxing business Xingwang only has half of the shares, and Fan Fei's Yuxin business is all Xingwang's, so isn't it more advantageous to Xingwang?" ”
Yang Xin was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Fan Yuxuan to collude with Jin Lianmei, thinking that this Fan Yuxuan was really black-bellied.
This wronged Fan Yuxuan, she had thought about it this way, and she had also revealed her tone to Jin Lianmei before, hoping that her Yuxin business could get the full support of the Jin family in Goryeo.
But this Korean trade was only proposed and established by Kim Juanmei yesterday, Fan Yuxuan didn't know at all, how could he hook up so quickly, this is just Kim Juanmei's wishful thinking, but Fan Yuxuan will definitely not refuse after knowing it.
"Well, it's all the same."
Yang Xin didn't want to offend Fan Yuxuan with this matter, after all, she still had a big belly and couldn't be stimulated.
In front of him, the Goryeo rebels were soon completely defeated, and more than 300,000 people fled all the way north in a panic.
On the other hand, Busan's Daxing caravan also went all the way to the north, bringing goods at least more than double the profits, there are many poor people in Goryeo, and there are many local tyrants, some people have said that a rich man needs five hundred poor people to support, so don't underestimate the poor places, the poorer the place, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, and there is no shortage of local tyrants.
The coalition army won victory after victory, and in less than two months, the entire territory of Goryeo was recovered, and even Lee Sung-so was captured alive by the mercenaries.
And the caravan has not sold out of goods in the past two months, and they have made a lot of money one by one.
On this day, Li Zong held a grand banquet in the recaptured palace of Wangjing to entertain the Daxing monarch and ministers.
Yang Xin was actually asked to be on the throne, Li Zong did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Yang Xin, and he took the Goryeo minister to accompany him on the left hand.
Naturally, a fart is indispensable, and the two sides are particularly friendly.
"This king has decided to issue Daxing national overseas shares, and everyone in Goryeo is eligible to buy them, and they can enjoy the same dividend rights as Daxing people, and they can also be transferred to each other, and I Daxing will recognize them all."
Halfway through the banquet, Yang Xin threw out a blockbuster policy.
The lively hall suddenly fell silently, and even the generals of Daxing were shocked, you know, there are more than 2,000 people in the whole Daxing, and the people can be regarded as veritable nobles in Daxing, and it is much easier to get promoted and make a fortune than ordinary people.
After getting along with Daxing for so long, the Goryeo ministers also know that Daxing's national dividends are very scary, but there are restrictions, and a family cannot hold more than three shares at most.
"Good brother, this king must fully support it, you can say how much you can buy, this king will definitely buy shares."
Li Zong didn't say a word, so he patted his chest and joined, this kind of thing that makes money and pleases Daxing, it would be stupid not to rush to do it.
As soon as Li Zong opened his mouth, the other Goryeo ministers reacted one after another and hurriedly expressed their support.
Yang Xin was very satisfied with their reaction, and now Daxing is also a big statement in Goryeo, which is still a bit of credibility, and no one is worried about being cheated of money by Yang Xin.
Yang Xin said with a smile: "This king in Daxing restricts the national shareholding can not exceed three shares, that is, I am worried that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, which will make it inconvenient for the management of the imperial court in the future, and there are not so many restrictions on this overseas stock, and Goryeo is not Daxing's territory, you can buy as much as you want, the current price per share is 12,000 taels of silver, and this year's dividend per share of my Daxing people is more than 3,000 taels." ”
The monarchs and ministers of Goryeo looked at each other, they didn't expect it to be so expensive, and the key was to make so much money, so what else to say, naturally they bought and bought.
"Okay, since there is no limit, this king plans to buy a hundred shares first!"
Li Zong immediately expressed his position.
The money is still not spent from the eight million borrowed from Daxing, borrowing money from Daxing, and then buying Daxing's overseas shares, his abacus is loud, he has been cheap for nothing, and he can still have a large amount of dividends every year, don't be too beautiful in his heart, no court in the Central Plains has ever been so good to him, even the Ming Dynasty before the defeat couldn't do it, Li Zong was already so grateful that he wanted to cry.
"Old decay also buys a hundred shares!"
Jin Shengnan hurriedly made a statement.
Yang Xin heard this, he didn't expect the Jin family to be so rich, a hundred shares is more than a million taels of silver, so he casually invested, and these must not be all the property of the Jin family.
Other Goryeo ministers also hurriedly expressed their attitudes, there are dozens of shares, and there are two or three shares of small ones, and even the chief eunuch around Li Zong also expressed his willingness to buy ten shares, and in this breath, it is estimated that the entry money of 10 million taels of silver has not been run, light
And what was even more shocking was Li Zong, when he usually dealt with the rebels, these people cried poor in front of him, and this investment, all of them had money to take out, so angry that Li Zong's face was kissed.
The chief eunuch saw that Li Zong's face was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we are also waiting to repay King Xing's great kindness, and the old slave is all smashing pots and selling iron to make up." ”
Li Zongqi is not angry, and now the ministers of the entire Goryeo are like this, and it is impossible for him to offend everyone, so he can only pretend to be very happy, and said: "I understand what Aiqing's painstaking efforts are, you can just buy it, Daxinggen, my Goryeo is a brotherly alliance, and this king will not mind." ”
Yang Xin looked at these people and sneered in his heart, as if looking at the landlord poison pill like Li Anbo, there is not much time left for Daxing, Yang Xin does not want to spend all his national strength to completely occupy Goryeo, although it is easy to fight in the early stage, Goryeo can survive on the edge of the Central Plains civilization for thousands of years, even Li Shimin has suffered losses here, even if he is forcibly defeated, the military expenditure he will face later must be astronomical, just this fifteen thousand people, it has cost Daxing millions of taels of silver in the past few months.
Therefore, the fastest way is to win over, as long as they hold Daxing's overseas shares, their interests will be bound to Daxing, and everyone will earn money together, so that others will not die with you.
You must know that now there are more than 2,000 people in the entire Daxing, and at the price of 12,000 per share, the value of the Daxing shares held is less than 30 million taels, and this Gaoli has eaten more than 10 million taels of overseas shares in one go.
However, as soon as this matter was finalized, the stone in Yang Xin's heart fell to the ground, and he even sent someone to sign a shareholding agreement for the Goryeo monarch on the spot, and the silver was then sent to Wang Jing's Daxing Qianzhuang General Account.
Nowadays, Daxing merchants are all over the business in Goryeo, and as the core Daxing Money Village, it has naturally been opened a long time ago.
