227 Of course, the captives were taken
This is a great victory, there is no doubt about it. In addition, it is the end of the year, and when you get such good news just about to celebrate the New Year, it is a happy thing, and it can make people even happier!
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang was not stingy, and immediately announced that he would add 500 stones to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and become the vassal king with the highest level of the vassal king, and also rewarded 12 pieces of silk each, 30 ingots of money and other kinds of property, and the most distinctive thing is that there are 1,000 shares of Daming Qianzhuang.
Zhang Yifan, the marquis of Rongguo, won the first merit, was promoted to the Duke of Rongguo, and in addition to all kinds of property, he was also rewarded with 500 shares of Daming Qianzhuang.
Another general with great merit, Lan Yu, was named the Marquis of Yongchang by Zhu Yuanzhang, with 2,500 stones, and also rewarded 200 shares of Daming Qianzhuang. In addition, the daughter of Lan Yu was canonized as the concubine of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.
The rest of the generals, including Xu Da, Tang He and others, also had financial rewards, including this special reward, that is, the shares of Daming Qianzhuang, ranging from 100 to 50.
This reward is very heavy. Lan Yu originally got the title of Marquis of Yongchang in history, but it was originally lost because of the butterfly effect, but it was returned to him because of this battle.
In addition, in the appendix of the report, Zhu Di also said the idea of keeping the enemy out of the outside and requested the construction of the Great Wall on the first line of Beiping. In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed.
This one, in fact, is not much different from history. In the original history, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, because Duo'er Buhua invaded Yongping, after Xu Da led the troops to repel it, he was also ordered to repair Yongping, Jieling and other passes.
Now, even if Zhu Di has been allowed to play, the result is still the same. After evaluation, the northern side believes that the ancient Chongqing Pass is not controlled, and the checkpoint will be moved to 60 miles east of the ancient Chongqing Pass.
This checkpoint is named Shanhaiguan because it leans on Yanshan Mountain in the north and connects the Bohai Sea in the south. As a result, the famous Shanhaiguan in later generations was born.
Li Shanchang at the bottom, listening to the emperor announcing the reward, and the other generals were all admired, he felt very awkward.
It shouldn't be my crow's mouth, what are you talking about?
How could that kid from Liujia Village be so smart and come up with a trick like a signal tower? Now that the emperor has promised to build the Great Wall, I am afraid that the Tartars will not have a chance to enter in the future!
He was thinking about it with annoyance, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his sorrow turned to joy again.
Why?
Because Li Shanchang suddenly thought that his strategy was still effective, that is, he could kill the boy from Liujia Village!
Although the two boys won this battle, the key factor was because of the unexpected signal tower transmission. There's no way to do it, but it's still about the outside!
If there is no signal tower outside the gate, then there is no advantage of communication, which is one of them.
Second, that kid was obviously a militant in this battle, and put forward a proposal to go out of the customs to fight the Tartars. Now that he has really succeeded, then it is certain that next time there is any war, he will definitely do what he will do, instigating the officials and soldiers of the imperial court to go out to fight, and even he himself will go out of the customs, isn't that the result he wants!
Looking down on the Tartars on the grassland, Li Shanchang can assert that he will inevitably suffer a big loss when he turns back!
He figured out this truth, and the smile on his face was natural again, and after Zhu Yuanzhang announced the reward, he immediately played: "In the future, there will be His Royal Highness King Yan and Rong Guogong in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a follow-up, and the heart of the old minister has been put into his stomach!" ”
"Hehehe......" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile when he heard it, "It's done, it's done!" ”
If you want to say gratifying, he is the most gratified!
A son, a son-in-law, so promising, then the Zhu family's country will be stable!
At this time, he looked at these founding generals in the hall, and they were all very pleasing to the eye.
Subsequently, he said to the ministers below: "The first of the war in the southwest, that is, the system of grain land being distributed to the public, has been implemented for half a year, and the imperial history inspection is okay. After the rainy season next year, they can launch a war in the southwest and recover the entire territory of Yunnan in one fell swoop! ”
"The last general obeys!" Fu Youde and others led the order in unison.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's consideration, the north has just finished fighting a big war, and next year the main thing will be to build the Great Wall, so there should be no war.
Then it just happened to start a war on the southwest side and solve the remnants of Mengyuan here in one fell swoop.
However, sometimes, even if he is the emperor, it is not what he wants to do!
……………………
At the end of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, here in Beiping, there was heavy snow again!
In the Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Di's family invited his brother-in-law Zhang Yifan, his father-in-law Xu Da, and his sister-in-law's uncle and eleventh brother-in-law's father-in-law Lan Yu to celebrate the New Year together, which can be regarded as lively.
The reward for this time was also spread to Beiping a year ago, and it can be said that the whole army was very happy.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang distributed the captured more than 20,000 sheep to the people of Yongping Mansion according to the amount of wartime merit according to the request on the report document.
The rest of the trophies, in addition to rewarding the officers and men of the army, will also be used for the construction of the first-line project of Shanhaiguan next year.
On the northern side, there is a shortage of materials, and it is even more of a war readiness situation, and it is not possible to do this big project in the same way as in the south, and it is still the previous mode of conscription and labor.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve, these people gathered together, and naturally they inevitably talked about these things in the coming year.
For civil matters such as building a city, Lan Yu doesn't worry about it, and he speaks very well. Mainly Zhu Di, Xu Da and Zhang Yifan are talking.
I heard Xu Da say with a somewhat solemn expression: "The scale of next year's city repair is not small, and the hoarded grain and grass materials are afraid that they will consume a lot, and they will not affect the livelihood of the people in the north, otherwise it will affect the stability of the border pass." This matter has to be carefully considered! ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Yifan and said: "Yifan, you are the best at this kind of thing, let's see how to solve it?" ”
When Zhang Yifan heard this, he was a little speechless, and immediately replied: "You treat me as an immortal, the northern land is barren, what can I conjure up for you?" If it is a few years later, it will be okay, but next year's affairs, if it does not affect the livelihood of the people in the north, there is no other way than to transport grain from other places! ”
Speaking of which, he reminded Zhu Di: "Don't you have a sailor, you have already cleared out the pirates and pirates along the coast, and you can let the southern side directly ship grain over, which is the most cost-effective method!" ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately asked, "Is it from Xiangshan County?" I know that Xiangshan County has hoarded a lot of grain. ”
"Yes!" Zhang Yifan listened, nodded and said, "Talk to my father, and I'll transport grain from Xiangshan County." However, as much grain has to be transported from the South Seas to Xiangshan County, as much grain as it has to be transported from Xiangshan County to the north. After all, Xiangshan County has a large population today, and food must be guaranteed. ”
As the pioneer of the prosperous land of Xiangshan County, no matter from which point of view, we must maintain one or two of Xiangshan County.
Zhu Di naturally understood, and immediately nodded in agreement: "This is no problem, I will give my father a piece of music when I go back, and talk about this situation, there should be no problem." ”
After saying that, he asked the next question: "But what about the manpower to build the Great Wall?" The population of this northern land is already small, and if more strong men are drawn to repair the city, it will definitely affect the people's livelihood! ”
When Xu Da heard this, he replied to his son-in-law: "Then let's take it from Baoding or Shanxi." The construction of the border wall of the north is also a matter of interest to the people of the north, and they will naturally make great efforts. ”
Today, Shanxi is the most populous. Before, Xu Da had already moved a lot of people to the area of Yongping Mansion. Now he also has the power to continue to draw people.
Zhang Yifan took a sip of hot rice wine at this time, and when he heard this topic, he put down the wine glass, and did not go to eat the vegetables, so he took over the topic and said: "If you don't have any hands, you will catch it, and the captives will be laborers, which is the most cost-saving thing!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Lan Yu, who was immersed in drinking and eating, immediately raised his head, showed interest, and looked at Zhang Yifan.
When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and when he was about to speak, he was preempted by Xu Da and responded seriously: "Don't get carried away because of a victory, it's not so easy to fight!" In particular, we have cleared the Tartar strongholds on the outer line of the Great Wall, and if we want to fight, we will have to go deep into the steppe, which is a very dangerous thing! ”
He is an old man who speaks seriously, but what he says is his experience.
When Zhu Di and Lan Yu heard this, they were immediately a little deflated. Because this is what Wei Guogong said, not someone else! They were still convinced by Xu Da's words.
However, when Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't care, and immediately replied: "It's not only in the depths of the grassland that there are prisoners to capture!" ”
When Xu Da heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled, this big colt is still a little stubborn!
After thinking about it for a while, he knew what Zhang Yifan was referring to, so he immediately asked, "You said it was Liaodong?" ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Yifan to answer, so he immediately continued: "Even if it is Liaodong, it is to go out of the customs and march to Liaodong along the edge of the grassland, which is a long way. If you are not completely sure, it is also dangerous! ”
He was afraid that Zhang Yifan, a young man, would be willful and didn't know the severity of the matter, so he patiently explained: "We have a big victory this time, and the Tartars will definitely have a way to deal with it." Not to mention that the Tartars in the depths of the grassland will inevitably migrate some, first, to occupy those water and grass lands, and secondly, to prevent us from suddenly going deep into the grassland, as an early warning. If we send an army to attack Liaodong, once it drags on for a long time, reinforcements from the depths of the grassland are likely to arrive. ”
His analysis is all reasonable. No, even Lan Yu heard it, knowing that there was no play, and lowered his head to get the chopsticks again.
He is brave, but he is not brainless, so he can naturally tell whether Xu Da is reasonable or not!
But who knows, Lan Yu picked up the chopsticks, and heard Zhang Yifan speak: "Let's take the sea route!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Lan Yu immediately raised his head, with a little surprise on his face: Yes, take the sea route!
I only heard Zhang Yifan continue to add: "When the Bohai Sea thaws after the New Year, you can sail." Isn't the fourth brother the most elite sailor in the Ming Dynasty? It is completely possible to go to Liaodong by sea, fight him a victory, and then come back along the coastal road, and the Mongolian Tatars have no boats, so they can only stare at it! ”
His words can be regarded as waking up the dreamer with one word!
Xu Da didn't say it, Zhu Di himself led the Daming Naval Division, so he naturally knew how the combat power of the Naval Division was and how maneuvering at sea was! And Lan Yu, because he lost the competition, also went to Zhu Di's sailor to be a general for a few years.
These generals, who are accustomed to fighting on land, are accustomed to thinking about problems with the idea of land warfare, and subconsciously do not think much about the use of sailors.
However, the people of the future generations are different!
Everyone knows the importance of sea power. I also know that the history of humiliation in China came from the sea. Therefore, no matter what, the dangers of the grassland can not be known, but these on the sea are absolutely known.
After he mentioned this, even Xu Da became serious, and without refuting Zhang Yifan's insistence, he thought about it there.
Regarding the military situation in Liaodong, it can be said that these people in the Yanwang Mansion are familiar with each other. As soon as Zhang Yifan said this, they all immediately thought about the situation.
Even, after thinking for a while, Zhu Di immediately stood up and said to his father-in-law: "Let's go to the Military Aircraft Hall to have a look!" ”
On the side of the military machine hall, there is a sand table outside the gate, of course, including the Liaodong side. Thinking about the sand table, it will be clearer.
Lan Yu listened, and was the first to stand up. Xu Da also stood up and left the table.
Zhang Yifan: "......"
He was a little speechless, looked up at Princess Yan on his side, and could only smile bitterly: "I can't even eat Chinese New Year's Eve well, I want to go back to Nanjing!" ”
Princess Yan knew the character of her father and husband very well, and could only smile wryly in return. She can't manage it, she can only take care of her son.
On the contrary, Zhu Di, who had already walked to the gate of the palace, heard it, turned his head and said: "Destroy the Tartar as soon as possible, then you can go back to reunite with the eldest sister as soon as possible, don't bother, hurry up." ”
"Yikes!" Zhang Yifan sighed, he was on the stall of an unkind family, the royal family was ruthless!
But then again, in this era, a trip back to Nanjing from Peking is too far! The traffic of garbage, I miss the high-speed rail of future generations!
Zhang Yifan followed him to the military machine hall, and thought in his heart that he had to get the steam engine out when he turned around, as long as the steam train came out, the traffic of the Ming Dynasty would also be greatly improved.
The green train that was despised in later generations, the kind that can only be reached by taking three days and three nights, is put in this era, and it is also shocking to the existence of this era!
When I think about it this way, it seems that I have a lot of things to do!
The war in the north really needs to end early!
When I passed through the corridor, I saw that the courtyard was already covered with a thick layer of snow, covering everything that could be covered, and even though it was night, it was also white.
This is a good sign, work hard, and hope that next year will be better than the original history!
