Chapter 303: The Emperor Seeks the Future, and the Darkness Returns
Now the Allah in the east is divided into three forces: the Jianzhou Jurchen, the Haixi Jurchen, and the Savage Jurchen.
The current degree of sinicization of the Jianzhou Jurchens is relatively low, and both the agricultural foundation and weapon technology are still very weak, so the strength is the worst Jurchen.
If it weren't for the protection of the Ming Dynasty, Jianzhou led by Aixinjue Luo would have been annexed by the other two Jurchens outside the pass of the jungle.
Zhu Youzhi already had a great anti-war voice in his attempt to establish the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and if he wanted to injure the savage Jurchens again, he would definitely encounter greater resistance.
The most important thing is that the savage Jurchen did not attach to the Ming Dynasty, so it was nominally a real war of aggression. Moreover, the strength of the savage Jurchen is stronger than that of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the casualties at that time will definitely be greater.
At dusk, there was only the last afterglow, and the faint golden yellow fell on the treetops and rooftops, and the whole lake seemed to be covered with a faint layer of mist, which seemed very quiet at this time.
Zhu Youzhu saw Han Youying's reaction in his eyes, and this reaction was expected, so he put down the empty teacup in his hand: "Daming has spent so much effort, and the total investment is probably more than two million taels, so we naturally still have to pay off." If you can successfully win Jianzhou, you really have to continue to expand eastward! ”
"The slave is stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty is trying to go east?" Han Youying knew that she had been extremely smart since she was a child, but she asked with confusion at the moment.
From all indications, the farther away this world is from the Ming Dynasty, the more barren it will be, and even the barren land frozen in all seasons.
If the Jianzhou Jurchens failed to get enough returns, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the savage Jurchens, even if the territory of the savage Jurchens was taken, it would not be able to make up for the military expenses incurred in waging the war.
It was precisely because of this that she didn't know why this emperor, who could strategize everything, suddenly became obsessed with expanding eastward and wanted to take the initiative to provoke the more powerful savage Jurchen.
Zhu Youzhu looked up at the sky in the west, his eyes were full of perseverance and said: "If you have to talk about things, then it should be plotting the entire East China Sea!" ”
After all, the ocean age will follow, and history has long proven that whoever wins the ocean wins the world.
If Jianzhou can be successfully captured this time, the other side can refer to the way of building the city and continue to march east to seize the coastal line belonging to the savage Jurchen.
If things go well, they can cross the sea from the territory of the savage Jurchen and take the Ezo land, which is later known as Hokkaido, and thus form an east-west encirclement of the whole of Japan.
Far from it, the island of Hokkaido alone is rich in resources such as timber, whale oil, and North Sea pearls, which can be plundered or traded to feed the Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the indigenous Ainu are still an independent race, and they may also support the East China Sea vassal state as their own.
Once the Ming Dynasty took over the entire East China Sea, not only would Japan, which was in chaos, submit to the Ming Dynasty, but the resources on the sea could also be further developed.
The reason why Zhu Youzhu is eyeing marine resources is that he knows that if China wants to really rise, it may be difficult to achieve this goal by relying solely on agriculture.
Not to mention that history has long proved that once the Xiaoice era comes, it is not relying on the hard-working people of China to solve this periodic natural disaster.
As for man-made disasters, it is even more impossible to prevent, such as the Yellow River burst in May because of the river's greed for ink, resulting in millions of victims in the entire Henan.
It is precisely for this reason that it is important to seize Jianzhou and build the granary of Northeast China, but the pace of China's eastward expansion cannot be stopped, and it is even more necessary to start developing marine resources.
"The East China Sea is important?"
"Yes, very important!"
"How important is that?"
"It's like I can't go without tea for a day!"
"Your Majesty, now the Jianzhou Jurchens have not yet been resolved, but they have already set their sights on the savage Jurchens. You have such confidence in the Crusade Army, is there any hole card that has not been revealed! Han Youying sent tea to Zhu Youji, and asked seriously.
Although this man did not reveal much information, she already had a judgment in her heart, and it would be difficult for the Jianzhou Jurchen to prevent this man from conquering the East China Sea.
Zhu Youzhu took a deep look at this smart and beautiful woman, and his eyes couldn't help but move down and said, "You stepped on the line!" ”
"The slave knows what is wrong!" Han Youying knew that this matter had indeed involved the most core secrets, and her pretty face immediately turned slightly red.
Zhu Youzhu hooked his fingers slightly, and when he saw the woman slowly getting up, he was surprised to find that the long legs seemed to be getting longer again.
Liu Jin realized that something was going to happen, and when he sent the irrelevant people away, he moved the screen to surround the place.
Han Youying looked very well-behaved, but she took the initiative to widen her clothes, and then revealed the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Zhu Youzhu relied on his young body, and then gave this woman who inquired about secrets a fragrant punishment.
Although he knew that this effort might not be fruitful, he still chose to sow seeds wantonly. But he still didn't want to believe that God still wanted to make him an heir.
The last rays of the sunset dissipated, and this fishing pavilion was full of spring.
Originally, he still wanted to fight with God, but when he was intoxicated with happiness, he found that the matter of the heir would not be in a hurry.
The sky in August was cloudy and uncertain.
It's just that this world is unfair, some people are beautiful in their arms, and some people are broken.
Daming Jianzhou, general ledger.
Thoro was nearly fifty years old, with a long braid coiled at the back of his head, and although he was of medium stature, he looked very lean, and his eyes looked bright.
"How is that possible?"
Tyro's intelligence system was much behind, and after learning the latest news of the battle situation, the whole person was suddenly struck by lightning, and his mind became blank.
In the face of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, they Jianzhou Jurchen had no capital for frontal confrontation, so they could only rely on the strange soldiers they sent.
cut off the supply line of the Ming Eastern Expeditionary Army through strange soldiers, thus forcing the Ming Eastern Expeditionary Army to retreat, and even forcing the Ming Emperor to dispel the idea of conquest of them.
Unlike the Mongols, their Jianzhou Jurchens were in a state of half-hunting, half-fishing, and half-farming, so they had relatively few horses, and each of them had less than half a horse.
Just in order to be able to gather 10,000 cavalry this time, he used almost the entire Jianzhou Jurchen power, but he pinned his hope of forcing back the Ming Eastern Expeditionary Army on this strange army.
However, their greatest expectation has now failed.
"Saved from the original? Only a few dozen people made it back? ”
Tyro didn't react much to the news of his son's death, but he couldn't accept the fact that he had failed miserably, and his brain suddenly became buzzing.
At this moment, he has never been able to accept this naked truth.
10,000 strange soldiers sneaked up on the supply line of the Ming Dynasty, but it was the last hope for them to build a state Jurchen. Now his son Tohara Bao was killed in battle, and the cavalry led by him suffered a crushing defeat, almost announcing the defeat of their Aixinjue Luo clan.
At this moment, he actually regretted it in his heart.
Although he knew that the deer tendon of 10,000 deer was an excuse for the Ming Emperor to send troops, if he could work hard to raise the deer tendon, he would not be able to raise enough of them.
However, he despised the Ming army too much, but he didn't plan to raise deer tendons at all, but decided to break the net with the Ming army.
It's just that Da Ming got an excuse to send troops, so he sent troops in a high-sounding manner, and they love Xinjue Luo Clan is afraid that they will die in the long river of history.
If he had known this, he should really unconditionally dedicate the raised deer tendons to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor might not liquidate his loyal self.
He chose to betray the Ming Dynasty directly, and did not even deer tendon to the Ming Emperor, and now there are 10,000 cavalry who have gone and never returned, and he is in the worst period.
"Ten thousand horsemen are gone?"
"It's incredible, isn't it a miscommunication?"
"This matter was personally confirmed by people from several tribes, how can it be fake?"
……
Due to the severity of the matter, almost all the tribal leaders gathered, and most of the tribal leaders were skeptical, but they were quickly confirmed by the relevant personnel.
Although it is unbelievable, this matter has been confirmed by many parties, but it makes the tribal leaders present have to believe it, and at the same time know that this time it may be more auspicious.
Although they can still form a cavalry regiment of 30,000 now, it is almost impossible to compete with the Eastern Crusade Army of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's over!"
The tribal leaders present looked at each other, but they knew that a catastrophe was about to come, but some people had already begun to seriously think about how to "get out of trouble".
Naturally, the Jianzhou Jurchens could not only have the Aixinjue Luo clan, but were gathered by many tribes, and the other tribes surrendered because the headquarters of the Aixinjue Luo clan was the strongest.
It's just that now there have been some subtle changes in the tribal leaders, and everyone knows that the Aixinjue Luo clan is suffering an unprecedented catastrophe.
This time is different from the catastrophe of the Chenghua period, that time Dong Shan or Tuoluo chose to take the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but they found a glimmer of life from it.
However, the Hongzhi Dynasty has already stated that it wants to expel the Jianzhou Jurchens from here, but it is stated that it wants to recover the entire Jianzhou.
In fact, this was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they were the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, so they should leave obediently. It's just that they are already rooted here, how can they give up so easily?
But the result is obvious, the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to conquer, and the tribesmen or tribes everywhere they went died or fled, and most of the states had actually fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
That's right, this is actually the catastrophe of Aixinjue Luo's clan, and they may not be able to find a glimmer of life from it.
"Let's make peace with Daming!"
"If we could make peace, we wouldn't have been able to fall to this point!"
"So what do we do now?"
"Why don't we go back to our ancestral land?"
"Shall we go east or north? Do you think we'll be able to move smoothly? ”
……
Faced with the current terrible situation, the leaders of the various tribes have expressed their opinions, and it seems that they no longer dare to resist, but they are proposing to sue for peace or relocate.
It's just that the former can't impress the Hongzhi Dynasty at all, and the latter must have been sniped by the Haixi Jurchens and the Savage Jurchens, and it seems that they have fallen into a dead end.
It was precisely because of this that the tribal leaders in the big tent could not find a way, but they couldn't help but fall into silence.
What they are facing now is not only the Ming army, but also the Haixi Jurchens in the north and the savage Jurchens in the east, and even North Korea in the south may not send troops.
Tuo Luo had already realized that he had no way to retreat at all, so he said with a firm gaze: "Although our Jurchens have the Ming Dynasty attached, you must all know very well what kind of virtue the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are. Now our surprise soldiers are attacking Daming's defense, although they have lost this time, but Daming's logistics army must have also suffered heavy losses. You don't have to panic, the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty may have been in chaos at this time, we only need to use the terrain to ambush the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory. ”
Although the news of the failure of the surprise attack came back, he believed that the Ming side "killed a thousand enemies and only lost 800", and with Wang Yue's cautious style, he must first reorganize the logistics army.
Bang!
It was at this moment that a deafening noise suddenly came from outside, as if the whole earth was shaking.
"What's going on?"
"Oh no, the Ming army is here!"
"This ...... How is this possible? ”
"Yang Mu has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!"
……
Tyro is now the nominal leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but his control is still a little worse.
If the Aixinjue Luo clan has been able to get the support of the resources of the Ming Dynasty, plus the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, all the tribes will naturally continue to support it.
It's just that now Aixinjue Luo has lost the trust of the Ming Emperor, and is even suffering from the Ming Emperor's requisition, and is even labeled a traitor by the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty did not give Tuoluo any chance to turn the tables at all, and under the leadership of Wang Yue, it was methodically encroaching on Jianzhou.
It was in this way that the news spread that the strange soldiers sent in Tarro had been almost completely annihilated, and Yang Mu Tawu, who was at the forefront of the army, decided to lead his troops to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
"You all go out with me, our Jurchens are invincible, we must let the Ming army come and go!" Tyro believed that he could still achieve the final victory in his own strength, and even if he got up and strode out of the tent.
The tribal leaders present knew that the catastrophe was coming, and even reached the moment when they really had to make a choice, when they all got up and walked out of the tent with Tyro.
Bang!
Just as all of them walked out of the general account, they all looked at the rate of Binjiang who raised them in amazement, and saw a scene that they would never forget.
But at some point, a three-masted ship with a length of twenty feet appeared on the river, and the black muzzles of the hull were aimed at their camp, and lead bullets flew towards them with a sharp whistling sound.
Bang!
However, they saw a cannonball weighing more than ten catties flying from the sea ship on the river, and after drawing a beautiful parabola in mid-air, it finally landed heavily on them less than ten meters away.
All of them were unharmed, but in front of them was a cavalry regiment that was assembling it, and as a result, blood and severed limbs flew sideways, and the cavalry regiment fled in all directions.
"Danger, get out of the way!"
It was at this time that the sea ship launched a new round of shelling, and some of the guards were destined to drop a few lead bullets in the direction where Taro and the others were, and they immediately shouted with earthy faces.
Finished!
Troll looked up at the lead bullets flying from the sky, only to feel that the black ball was getting bigger and bigger, and then his eyes suddenly went black.
