Chapter 243: Annan Intelligence Network
Blocked by the Fuliang River, the Ming army did not launch a large-scale offensive.
However, daily skirmishes never stopped, mostly tentative attacks on various sections of the Furajiang defensive line.
All kinds of tug-of-war between you and me.
Or infiltration and reverse osmosis between scouts.
On this day, Zhu Yang, the king of Min, returned from the front line and captured some Annan soldiers.
"These grandsons, crossbow arrows and firearm projectiles have been soaked in poison, and they will die if they touch them, and they will damage my seven soldiers!"
Zhu Yang scolded and complained, and kicked and beat the shrunken Annan soldiers from time to time.
Originally, he didn't treat the soldiers as people, but after being punished by Zhu Yunxi for his defeat last time, he kept a lot of low profile.
The cruelty of war made Zhu Yang really grow up.
This is also what Zhu Yunxi is happy to see.
After conquering Annam, he hoped to have a vassal king in charge and stabilize the situation.
Taking Zhu Yang out on the expedition is to sharpen this kid.
"Can the wounded be sent for treatment in time?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Zhu Yang nodded: "In addition to the seven who disappeared on the spot, the remaining dozen or so injured people were sent to the field hospital as soon as possible." ”
The field hospital was proposed by Zhu Yunxi.
Before the expedition, the military department recruited hundreds of Langzhong from all over the Ming Dynasty to accompany the army.
An average of 200 soldiers, with one langzhong.
In feudal dynasties, this was hard to imagine.
Although there were military physicians in the Ming army, the number was pitiful, and there were only three physicians in a guard house of 5,600 people.
In view of the Song-Yue-Xining War 300 years ago, Zhu Yunxi knew that the Ming army's southern expedition would be in the heat and miasma, so he was equipped with more military doctors and established a field hospital.
A group of Annan soldiers who were captured by Zhu Yang were still being beaten.
In ancient warfare, there were no laws for the protection of prisoners, and the beating of prisoners was the lightest punishment.
Zhu Yunxi saw the weapons seized from Annan Bing.
They have a variety of weapons, mostly cold weapons, but also firearms.
Looking at a strange firearm, Zhu Yunxi suddenly asked, "Does Annan have such a firearm?" ”
This firearm is very similar to the magic machine gun used by the soldiers of the Ming army.
The layman couldn't see it, but Zhu Yunxi took a closer look and found that this firearm had an added wooden horse structure on the basis of the magic weapon.
This improves airtightness and makes the force of the bullet more even.
In addition to this firearm, there is also a large rocket that resembles a "flying gun".
After trying it, Zhu Yunxi felt that the practicality of this thing was not very high.
Compared with the Indian rockets of later generations, it is not sure where it will fly when it is hit.
But even so, it is a great step forward to be able to make such a rocket in this era.
If this rocket is slightly modified with aerodynamics, it will be a real killer!
Obviously, the other party's physics is almost meaningless.
According to the confession of the prisoners of Annan, they said that these were invented by their guard Hu Yuancheng.
"King Wei is very good at making firearms, and he is our god of firearms."
The unkempt-mouthed Annan soldier said, with reverence on his face.
Zhu Yunxi's expression was solemn: "I didn't expect Annan to have this person, it seems that we know very little about Annan." ”
He turned to Wu Qiang and said, "Go and call Huang Zhong of the Annan Intelligence Network!" ”
When you fight, you fight a piece of intelligence.
In war, intelligence is the most important thing, especially when you go abroad to fight in an unfamiliar environment, in the face of the enemy's blockade, without the masses as a guide, like a blind man.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi laid out Nanyang intelligence in advance.
Let Jinyiwei go abroad, radiate all over the world, and play an important role in the war.
For example, in the Wanli Korean War in history, Jinyiwei collected a large number of Japanese military information.
It is also rumored that Jinyiwei cooperated with Shen Weijing, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, poisoned Toyotomi Hideyoshi and completed the beheading, so that the Korean War ended early.
Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the Annan intelligence network, was named Huang Zhong, who originally served in the Yunnan Metropolitan Division.
Huang Zhong is familiar with Southeast Asian countries, and is proficient in various Chinese languages, and is good at camouflage penetration and development of downline.
Summoned by the emperor's grandson, Huang Zhong was ecstatic and brought a person.
"Xiaomin Li Kuang, meet the emperor's grandson!"
A bearded man knelt in front of Zhu Yunxi.
He lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes to Tianwei.
Li Kuang was a gentry from Lanshan Township, Liangjiang, Thanh Hoa, Thanh Hoa, Annan, and was developed by Jinyiwei to become the head of the branch of the Annam Intelligence Network.
Zhu Yunxi's propaganda war has achieved good results, and in just one month, he has attracted a large number of families who want to defect to the Ming Dynasty.
Li Kuangbai bowed his head: "The traitor Hu clan is perverse, killing the lord and usurping the throne, slaughtering loyal ministers, please preside over justice, kill the Hu father and son, and save me from the dawn of Annan in fire and water!" ”
Li Kuang's family was originally a family that was attached to the Chen Dynasty in Annan.
As a result, the powerful minister Hu Jichen usurped the throne and slaughtered the ministers of the Chen Dynasty.
Such as Taibao Chen Yuanxin, Zhuguo Chen Rijun, General Chen Qizhen, General Fan Keyong and others.
They opposed Hu Jichen's usurpation of the throne, and all the men of the clan were killed, and the women were not official maids.
In order to completely eradicate those loyal to the Chen Dynasty's royal family, Hu Jichen sent people to search for supporters of the Chen Dynasty's royal family, and many families were implicated.
Even if the family is not implicated, it is still panicked.
The families are not optimistic about the Hu family as the emperor, thinking that they are provoking the Ming Dynasty and playing with fire madly, and they will self-immolate if they don't get it right.
Coupled with the Ming army's conquest of Annan, some families thought that even if their own family was not attacked by the Hu family.
In the end, he will be accused of "supporting usurpation" by the Ming army and raiding his home.
It's better to secretly surrender, make a stand and welcome the Ming army with open arms!
Not only these families, but also Confucian scholars from all over the country have asked the Ming army to be stationed there, and they must kill the usurping Hu father and son, eliminate the traitors, and restore the descendants of the Chen family.
For these requests, Zhu Yunxi just smiled.
These Confucian scholars of Annan are too simple, and the Ming Dynasty took great pains to fight Annan, just to restore the country for the Chen Dynasty?
I want to eat fart!
Looking at Li Kuang, Zhu Yunxi said lightly: "The heirs of the Chen clan of Annan have been extinct, and the branch has been destroyed, and there is no way to recover." ”
directly pointed out that Daming is not here to work for others.
It is impossible for the Ming army to restore the country for the Chen family.
Hearing this, Li Kuang was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression and nodded yes.
He was a smart man, not a loyal Chan man.
You, Chen, are dead, what do you care about us?
If we have to talk about the role, the greatest usefulness of the Chen family is nothing more than this: if the next ruler is not good to us, our family can rebel under the banner of the Chen family.
Historically, this was the case with the Li family.
The Li family first acted as a leading party and helped the Ming army fight the Hu clan.
After the Ming Dynasty set up a county in Annam, only because the eunuch Ma Qi treated the Li family harshly, Li Kuang's son Li Li raised troops in the Blue Mountains and fought against the Ming army under the banner of the Chen family.
After the Ming army withdrew from Annam, Li Li established the state as emperor and established the Later Li Dynasty in Annam.
"Li Kuang, Huang Zhong told me about you."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "I heard that you have a son named Li Li, who should be ten years old, and he can be sent to the Jingshi Academy to study." ”
When did I talk to the imperial grandson about Li Kuang's son...... Huang Zhong had a question mark on his face.
As an intelligence officer, he reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "Brother Li Kuang, you are so lucky, the Jingshi Academy is the place where my noble son of the Great Ming Xun studys!" ”
After Li Kuang heard this, his face was overjoyed and he thanked him again.
With the words of the Ming Prince, the Li family is about to develop!
Subsequently, Zhu Yunxi then drew a big cake to Li Kuang and said some words of encouragement.
In any era, the family does not hesitate to sell the country for the sake of wealth and prosperity.
These families, as long as they give some benefits, will work hard!
"Huang Zhong, how is Hu Yuancheng?"
Zhu Yunxi asked him about the prince of Annan, who was good at using firearms.
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "Back to the emperor's grandson, Hu Yuancheng is in Shenglong City, this person is short-sighted, don't worry!" ”
According to Huang Zhong, although Hu Yuancheng is the eldest son, his father Hu Jichen appointed his second son Hu Hancang as the crown prince, which makes Hu Yuancheng's position very embarrassing.
For this reason, Hu Jichen once used the inkstone as a metaphor to say: "This volume of strange stones, sometimes clouds and rain, in order to nourish the people", and asked the eldest son Hu Yuancheng to answer in order to observe his aspirations.
Hu Yuancheng replied: "These three-inch pines, he will be a pillar every day to support the community." ”
After hearing this, Hu Jichen understood that the eldest son was not dissatisfied, so he decided to make the second son Hu Hancang the crown prince.
After the Ming army marched south, Hu Jichen sent Hu Yuancheng to the front line to lead the troops against the Ming army.
"Huang Zhong, there is a task left to you."
Zhu Yunxi returned to the truth and issued a task to the two.
First of all, Jinyiwei wants to find out the defense of the Fuliang River, and the Daming Sailor wants to destroy the Annan Sailor here!
Second, propaganda warfare behind enemy lines has begun.
Jinyiwei went deep behind enemy lines, spread remarks, and messed up the morale of Annan's army and people's hearts!
As for Hu Yuancheng, the young man claimed to be the god of firearms, and Zhu Yunxi planned to let him see what a real firearm was!
