Although Qin Yuanwai lowered his voice when he spoke, Li Qiufeng still heard his words clearly. Hearing that Qin Yuanwai said that the Tartars were going to join forces with the Waiko to capture Liaodong, Li Qiufeng was in a heart, secretly thinking that the Tartars would invade the north and the Would-be Invaders would plunder the southeast coast. If it is really as Qin Yuanwai said, it is really a big trouble.
As he thought about it, he suddenly thought of the five killers of the Yanagi clan that night. Immediately afterwards, I remembered that in the Chenghuang Temple in Xiuwu County, Liu Sheng Zongyan joined forces with the Japanese Invaders on the southeast coast in a vain attempt to bloody Xiuwu County and capture Fengmen Village, which was used as a place for the Japanese to attack the capital. Yanagi Zongyan has always looked down on the Japanese on the southeast coast, but in order to seize the Great Tomorrow, he did not hesitate to join forces with the Japanese on the southeast coast. In this way, it is not impossible for the Tartars, who regard the Ming Dynasty as a great enemy, to collude with the Japanese Kou.
I only heard the horseman say: "Lao Qin, I'm afraid what you said is wrong? The Japanese are far away on the southeast coast, but the Tartars are in the northern desert, and the two sides are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is tantamount to an idiot's dream to want to collude together." ”
The horseman's voice fell, and the thin man sitting on his right said with a smile: "The horseman said well. Since Taizu founded the country and expelled the Tartars from the Central Plains, they were forced to flee to the extreme north of the desert in embarrassment, and when Emperor Chengzu went out of the Great Wall six times, ploughed the court and swept the caves, and the Tartars fled in despair. Meng Yuan's strong soldiers were empty, and they were no longer able to go south. Even if there was a change in the civil fort later, the Tartar soldiers did not attack the Central Plains on a large scale and seize the Ming Dynasty. It's just that the Tartars' heart is not dead, and they didn't wave their troops south, because they didn't want to do it, but they knew that they couldn't do it. ”
The thin man spoke up, shaking his head and smugly. Ma Yuanwai smiled, and said: "My brother is worthy of being a person who has been a talent, and a mouth is a person who knows everything, which is amazing." It's just that if you want to say anything, just say it, and don't drop your bookbag in front of us. ”
Ma Yuanwai's words were clearly praised, implicitly sarcastic, and the thin man's face turned red after hearing this, his expression was quite embarrassed, and he apologized repeatedly, and then continued: "After the Tartar was driven back to Mobei by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he was no longer able to march south. In addition, the interior of the Tartars is fragmented, and they are constantly attacking each other. Although there are such famous ministers first, it is difficult to hide the decline. Over the years, although the Tatar soldiers had harassed in Xuanfu and north of Datong, they only robbed money, cattle and sheep, and plundered the population, and did not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on. But in Liaodong, it's a different story. Because the imperial court did not have many troops stationed in Liaodong, and it had been a long time, the border preparations were slack. Only then did the Tatar cavalry dare to go deep into the hinterland of Liaodong, and even plundered outside Liaoyang from time to time.
"Not only did the Tartar soldiers target Liaodong, but the Japanese also had the idea of Liaodong. Everyone in the world thinks that in the past hundred and ten years, the Japanese have only wreaked havoc on the southeast coast, but they don't know that near our Dongliao County, the Ming army once fought a battle with the Japanese army. ”
As soon as the thin man said this, not only Li Qiufeng was quite surprised, but Ma Yuanwai, Qin Yuanwai and others also "pouted". Ma Yuanwai said: "My brother's words are a bit unbelievable. Our Ma family has lived here for generations, how come we have never heard that the Japanese have come to Liaodong to make trouble?"
The thin man said with a smile: "Liaodong is far away outside the Guan, and the imperial court has always regarded this place as a chicken rib, and no one in the Guanxi is willing to move to Liaodong to live. For more than 100 years, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, although there are some villages, but they are often separated by hundreds of miles, and the old and dead do not interact with each other. Although the battle was dark and bloody, it was only because Liaodong was sparsely populated and there were no people living near the battlefield that the matter did not spread. At the time of the war, it was the reign of Emperor Chengzu, the Ming army was invincible, and even the Tartar soldiers were beaten and fled, killing nearly a thousand Japanese invaders, which was really not a big deal, which made the reputation of this battle insignificant. ”
When the thin man said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "This great battle to exterminate the Japanese invaders took place in Yongle Seventeen, and it was Liu Jiang and Lord Liu who served as the chief soldier of Liaodong at that time. Speaking of this Lord Liu, he is also a great character. He was originally called Liu Rong, but because of the imperial conscription, his father was seriously ill, so Liu Rong had to join the army for his father, and fraudulently used his father's name, and was called Liu Jiang from then on. Later, Lord Liu followed Emperor Chengzu to raise troops to appease, starting from a pawn, accumulating military merits and being promoted to 100 households, and soon was promoted to the commander of the capital. After the Battle of Jingnan, Lord Liu followed Emperor Chengzu to the north to conquer the desert many times, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, Emperor Chengzu praised him, and after the Northern Expedition, he was promoted to the general army of Liaodong, stationed in Guangningwei, an important town in Liaodong, one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.
"After Lord Liu became the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, I heard that pirates often landed on the shore, slaughtered the people, and plundered property and women. These pirates were strangely dressed and did not speak like Han Chinese, but they were all extremely strong. Lord Liu personally went to the coast of Liaodong to investigate, and only then did he know that these pirates were not ordinary thieves, but Japanese robbers from Fusang.
"The scourge of the Japanese invaders began in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the plague of the Japanese in the southeast coast became more and more intense, and Lord Liu was not ignorant of this. It's just that he has never heard of the news of the Japanese raiding Liaodong, so he is shocked in his heart. While reporting the matter to Emperor Chengzu, he rectified the Liaodong guard and trained the soldiers to prevent the Japanese from invading Liaodong.
Emperor Chengzu received Liu Jiang's recital and knew that the Japanese were fighting Liaodong's idea, and he was furious. On the one hand, he sent an envoy to Fusang to rebuke the Fusang general, urging him to restrain the Fusang people from going to sea to make trouble and suppress the Japanese invaders, and on the other hand, he issued an order to the governor of Fujian, the general army, and the governor and general army of Liaodong, asking them to severely arrest the Japanese who attacked and harassed the Ming Dynasty.
"Lord Liu got the will of Emperor Chengzu and immediately set out to extinguish the Japanese invaders. At that time, there were only more than 1,700 field soldiers in the Liaodong Guard, and the remaining Tuntian soldiers were only in their early 2,000s. These Tuntian soldiers are old and weak, and some of them can't even pick up swords and guns, which is really chicken. With more than 1,000 soldiers, Lord Liu built seven beacon towers in Lushunkou, Wanghaipot, Left Eye, Right Eye, Xishazhou, Sanshou Mountain, Shantou and other places to prevent the Japanese from going ashore and plundering. He paid special attention to Wanghaipot, because the Japanese invaded Liaodong several times before, and they all landed here, and Lord Liu personally led the sergeants to build a stone fort in Wanghaipot, and set up a beacon tower to strictly guard against it.
Sure enough, in June of that year, the sergeant guarding Wanghaipu noticed a faint flash of fire on an island in the sea, so he reported the matter to the higher authorities. After receiving the news, Lord Liu decided that the Japanese had gathered at sea and were about to go ashore to plunder. It was he who mobilized more than 2,000 officers and soldiers to guard the Wanghai pot and wait for the Japanese to attack. Early in the morning of the second day, the Japanese invaders took more than 30 large and small ships to Wanghai, and the two sides fought a big battle. At that time, the Ming army was not as pustud as it is now, one by one, and it was extremely brave. After the battle, more than 800 people were beheaded, and the remaining 700 people were all captured alive. Lord Liu's first battle frightened the thieves of the Japanese invaders, and from then on, the Fusang people no longer dared to fight the idea of Liaodong, and could only toss along the coast of Fujian. If Lord Liu hadn't won the battle of Wanghaipo, the Japanese would have attacked Liaodong in the north and Fujian in the south, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty would be critical!"
