Chapter 188: The North Koreans Ran Away in the Middle of the Night
Xu Qin went on an expedition for nearly half a year, and 700,000 taels of silver and 100,000 catties of copper arrived at Haifan Division.
Of course, there was also the fleet of the southern daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, who took the silver ticket of the royal silver number and purchased it in Daming.
Of course, most of them belong to the Xu family's pure glaze, which is very popular in the Wa Kingdom and is known as a sacred object.
The rest is raw silk and porcelain.
Of course, along with the ship, there were also laborers who paid off the debts of the Haifan Division, and this time there were 500 young women from the Wa Kingdom. and 2,000 young and strong laborers of the Japanese country.
The North Korean army plundered the Japanese country, causing too many displaced peasants who could not eat.
Southern Daming took the opportunity to store a lot. This time, 2,500 people were sent.
The maid of the Wa Kingdom is obedient and capable, and she is already famous in the Haifan Division, and as long as she is full, she is very happy.
Within two days of the arrival of the 500 people in the Haifan Division, all of them were hired by 521 from the Haifan Division.
The employer must promise not to abuse the Japanese woman, leave or stay after five years, and let the Japanese woman decide to stay.
As for the 2,000 young people of the Japanese Kingdom, they were sent to Beiping along the canal, where the capital was being built.
When the two Japanese people came, they liberated 2,000 Ming people.
Because Xu Qin hunted down pirates in the Wa Kingdom and punished the Daimyo of the Wa Kingdom. The nuclear capacity for the Japanese state was relaxed.
He also encouraged Xu Qin, who was on the expedition of the Japanese Kingdom, to send supplies.
The merchant ships that arrived at the Wa Kingdom were all detained by Xu Qin, and all the sailors joined the army to submit to his management, and the only promise given was that once the battle against the Wa Kingdom was won.
The spoils of war belonged to the merchants, according to the number of sailors who had sent them. In fact, it is to indulge them in plundering.
Xu Qin's personality in the war belongs to Wang Ba, and the fortifications are the same as Wang Ba's shell. The cement was all pounded out by him in the Wa Kingdom.
If the little devil does not come, he will repair the fortifications. High and low, pillboxes, diamond-shaped fortresses, dark bunkers, mines, ravines. Anyway, he can dig whatever he can think of.
Finally, when the leaves on the trees began to fall one after another, the army of the little devils increased by 40,000 men, and finally came.
North Korea sent another 20,000 people to transport 20,000 people here. Why so fast, because the first batch of 20,000 people who went back returned with a full load.
Li Yuanfang and Min Ji didn't expect that the war with the Ming Dynasty would go so smoothly, and it used to be the Japanese robbing North Korea, but now it is the other way around.
And Da Ming is very generous, and he doesn't want anything to loot at all. And when he came this time, Li Yuanfang listened to Xu Qin's advice.
More than 4,000 Jurchens were fooled.
These pigtailed women in the white mountains and black waters are real people, and they almost didn't vomit to death on the first boat. finally arrived in the Wa country, and it took half a month to recover.
Twenty thousand poor ghosts with a fervor for plundering came, and twenty thousand well-fed returned. This is the purpose of Xu Qin to let them plunder.
If you don't give sweetness, how can you come again. 30,000 people eat, drink and Lazar, the pressure is too great.
The pressure on the Koreans was great, but the looting could still be supported, and the pressure on Xu Qin's side to transport supplies from Daming was too great.
Fortunately, Dongping was rich and rich, and he secretly supported Xu Qin's supply with these southern daimyo who supported Emperor Go-Kameyama.
All supplies were exchanged for silver tickets for the Daming Royal Silver Number, and they either paid off their debts or went to Daming to buy goods.
As winter approached, the 60,000 troops of the Wa Province arrived under the leadership of Ashikaga Yoshinor.
The 60,000 colorful army, divided into two legions on the left and right, pressed over. Xu Qin ordered everyone to hold on and wait for orders.
Ashikaga Yoshinori was full of confidence in the army he had organized, believing that the Ming and Korean armies were far from exhausted and had plundered enough.
There is certainly no fighting spirit, and it will be difficult to last under the siege of his army, and even if you cut off their retreat, you can starve them to death.
Ashikaga Yoshinori was ambitious with 40,000 men. I plan to defeat these Ming and Korean invaders, and turn around and clean up those daimyo in the south.
With a full force of 60,000 people, the big names in the south were silenced. I feel that this is a huge war that has never been seen in the history of the Japanese Kingdom.
They began to regret that they had been involved with Xu Qin, and once Xu Qin was defeated, they would inevitably be cleaned up by the shogunate. and even ruined.
At this time, the daimyo in the south of the Wa Province began to secretly write letters to Ashikaga Yoshimochi in order to win understanding, and some even began to secretly join Ashikaga Yoshimori's team.
Xu Qin waited for him to attack, but this guy didn't attack, but surrounded Xu Qin with 60,000 people.
As time passed, Xu Chin found that the number of Ashikaga Yoshimori's troops was still increasing. At this time, he was not in a hurry.
However, the North Korean army was afraid, and it was not a good thing to be surrounded at any time, so Li Mao repeatedly looked for Xu Qin, asking to break through the siege and pull him to the port, and leave quickly.
It's a bit of a hero who doesn't suffer immediate losses.
"Are you stupid? What you can think of, is Ashikaga Yoshimochi a waste. The direction of the port has long been blocked. ”
Xu Qin coldly mocked Li Mao, he really looked down on these North Koreans, went out to rob and bully those peasants, and he was cowardly when he wanted to fight.
"Lord Xu, the enemy is more than twice as large as ours, and it is still increasing. We're going to be trapped to death if we go on like this. It's better to break through early. ”
Li Mao said anxiously.
Xu Qin glanced at Yang Mu, the leader of the Jurchen team who was concentrating on gnawing meat, and said in his heart, Look at how stable people are.
"The art of war is surrounded by ten rules, and twice as many people want to besiege us, and the other party's master is a fool. I still don't think they are enough, don't worry......"
Xu Qin sent Li Mao away.
But things were beyond his expectations, that night Xu Qin was holding Nanazi for an in-depth exchange, Nanazi was singing songs happily, and when the butterfly was flying happily, suddenly Xu Fugui broke in.
Shouting outside through a door.
"Little grandpa is not good, the North Koreans have run away......" Xu Fugui shouted loudly.
Xu Qin lifted Nanako on his body, threw it on the bed, and ran out naked.
A cold sweat instantly covered the whole body. Nanako rolled to her feet, ignoring the sweat all over her body. Naked, he caught up with Xu Qin with his clothes and put them on him.
"What do you say? You repeat. Xu Qin almost went crazy through the door.
"The North Koreans took the Jurchens and secretly left the camp and ran." Xu Fugui said.
The map of the camp instantly went through Xu Qin's mind. At this time, Nanako had quickly helped him put on his underwear.
Yunhe also woke up and ran out. Shocked to help get dressed.
"The order was given to all the soldiers to get up immediately, cut off contact with the North Korean camp, and enter a state of combat readiness." Xu Qin issued the first order.
"Received ......" the voice of the herald sounded outside the door.
Xu Qin has a squad of heralds and clerks by his side at any time. Xu Hao and Zhu Wanyan have already risen.
"Make fireworks and get all the ships in the harbor out of the harbor. If you can't do without, you will sink them all. Xu Qin viciously issued a second order.
Xu Ho broke out in a cold sweat at the same time as he started writing, which is equivalent to a North Korean person, who can't run at all.
The entire military camp moved quietly, and after a while, Luo Zhong, Xia Zifu and others came.
When they heard that the North Koreans had run away, they were not as anxious as Xu Qin at all.
"Xu Shuai, it doesn't matter if you run or not, we have 3,000 veterans of the Shenji Battalion, 4,000 Haifan Division, 1,500 people brought by Mr. Xia, and 5,000 sailors from all walks of life. Nearly 13,000 people. ”
Luo Zhong said.
"And we have plenty of gunpowder, and fifty cannons. There are no North Koreans who have enough food for us to eat for half a year. Brothers are waiting to open up territory with you. Zhang Xuan said excitedly.
"You don't understand, the North Koreans ran away and made the daimyo in the south of the country even less confident, and it's hard to say what the consequences will be if we fight this battle." Xu Qin said worriedly.
Originally, the Koreans and Jurchens were his cannon fodder and miscellaneous soldiers. The one in charge of holding the attack in front of him. Responsible for resisting casualties, otherwise how can they indulge in plundering?
On the one hand, it is to weaken the national strength of the Wa State, and on the other hand, it is to feed it so that it can be used as a shield. Who would have thought that he would run away with the Jurchens.
"Xu Shuai, there's no need to think about it at this point, it's just that it's harder for them to fight than the would-be robbers?" Agent Qianhu Ou Ouyang Fei said calmly.
This is the confidence and atmosphere of the Ming officers and the courage to fight. It's not like the North Korean gang's petty family. I don't want to take risks just by trying to take advantage.
The door opened, and all the officers stood outside the door, looking at Xu Qin with eager eyes. At this time, Xu Qin had already put on a suit of armor with the help of Nanako and Yunhe.
Seeing that the entire camp was brightly lit, the Daimyo's army arrived at their place in an orderly manner. Only the five thousand temporarily requisitioned sailors were a little flustered.
At this time, there was a commotion in the south, followed by the sound of a boiling battle.
The runaway army of Korea and the army of the Japanese state encountered, Xu Qin looked in that direction with a telescope, and could not see anything at all in the night.
The sound of the fight lasted for half an hour, then calmed down, and after a while there was chaos.
"There was indeed more than one army in the direction of the port. The army of the Wa Kingdom moved. Luo Zhong pointed to the north and said.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was sleeping when he suddenly heard that the Ming Dynasty people had run in the direction of the port. Immediately, he didn't bother to put on his clothes, and began to give the order to pursue.
The Japanese army to the north suddenly moved. The large force bypassed the city wall reinforced by Xu Qin and pursued in the direction of the port.
The rest of the crowd came to the camp.
"Listen to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, your commander has fled, hurry up and open the door and surrender." Someone shouted outside the door.
The soldiers in the city looked outside the door and looked at Xu Shuai, who was dressed in silver armor, and said in their hearts, isn't this nonsense.
"Come, give me the firecracker......" Xu Qin said to the person next to him.
A small-faced attendant wearing a wandering armor and two swords stuck in his waist quickly handed over the firearms.
It turned out to be Nanako Higashihira wearing armor. Xu Qin took the firearm and looked at the people under the city, it was only more than a hundred meters.
"Listen to the people of the city......"
Touch......
Before the man could shout, his head was pierced.
"Xu Shuai's divine shooting......" Ouyang Fei shouted loudly.
"Great Handsome Marksman......" The whole city resounded with an excited roar.
