…
That night, after Li Shen and Hong Lin finished their dinner, they hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the inn where they were staying to prepare cursive writing.
Although he said that he would wait until Honglin returned to Beijing before writing, Li Shen never did any homework without preparation. He was well versed in the emperor's mind and knew that in order to serve this master well, he had to prepare in advance what he was told.
"One of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In February of the third year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Shihui of the Yi Island Kingdom in Nanyang insulted my envoy. The hero raised 30,000 troops and crossed the sea to attack him. He destroyed his main force in one battle. He killed all the 30,000 rebels on the Yi Island and promoted our empire. National prestige.”
"Second of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In the sixth year of Shengyuan, the Malan Kingdom rebelled. Its leader, Hun Boni, ordered his envoys to ask for help. The hero raised 20,000 troops, with Zhang Gui as the commander. He crossed the sea to quell the rebellion and captured Pingdu in just one month. After killing more than 50,000 enemies, Malan restored his country."
"Third of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In the seventh year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, there was a mutiny on Lanni Island. The lord of the foreign country asked for help. The hero ordered Fuying to be the commander and led 30,000 troops to put down the rebellion. Fuying took the lead and defeated the enemy in Haikou. Lanni recovered flat."
"The Fourth of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In the ninth year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, the Luzon Kingdom rebelled. The hero ordered Zhang Gui to take command and sent 30,000 troops to cross the ocean. Half a year later, Luzon rebelled against the emperor and returned to the control of the Celestial Empire."
"The Fourth of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In the eleventh year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, Xilan Kingdom humiliated our country. The hero ordered Song Lin and Yang Ju to be generals and raised an army of five thousand to attack. In May of that year, Xilan returned with three thousand heads. Lanman State dare not do it again."
"The fifth of the ten complete martial arts achievements. In the twelfth year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, the three kingdoms of Manila, Romania, and Yinyang were in chaos in Nanyang. The hero ordered Zhang Gui to take command and lead a tiger army of 70,000 in a crusade. After six months, the three kingdoms were pacified, and the world was shocked."
"The Sixth of the Ten Perfect Martial Arts. In the 14th year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, Zheng Gang of Xilan Kingdom rebelled and killed twenty of our garrison guards. The hero ordered Yang Ju to send 2,000 troops to quell the rebellion. In February of that year, an additional 2,000 troops were added to conquer the royal city of Xilan. , but when an epidemic broke out, they temporarily retreated. In this battle, the corpses of the Xilan soldiers were killed and sank into the river, causing shock to the whole country."
"The Seventh of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In the 18th year of Shengyuan, the Luzon Kingdom rebelled again. The hero ordered Zhang Gui to take command and raised 50,000 troops to attack. In June of that year, he added 10,000 troops to conquer important towns such as Yinglong, Changdi, and Xuyu. After wiping out 100,000 enemies and returning to the court victoriously, I heard that every household in Luzon wore sackcloth and wore filial piety, and was frightened by the news of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire."
"The Eighth of the Ten Complete Martial Arts. In the 23rd year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, the Yingyo Kingdom invaded. The hero raised 40,000 troops to attack. He ordered Fuying to be the commander and went to sea to meet the powerful enemy. After three months, he defeated the enemy and returned to the court, capturing the enemy. With five thousand soldiers, we will personally capture the leader of the bandit army and Humen."
"Nine of the ten perfect martial arts. In the thirty-fourth year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, the Xilan Kingdom humiliated our country. The hero mobilized his troops and generals. After years of fighting, he completely surrendered the Xilan Kingdom and ordered it to become a subordinate country."
"Ten of the ten perfect martial arts, ten of them..."
Li Shen wrote down on paper what he considered to be the most proud military actions during Honglin's reign.
In fact, although the results of these military operations were indeed successful, they were suspected of exaggeration.
Because the beheading records written in the petition have no empirical records, and there is no mention of the huge casualties of the Jin soldiers.
But even so, when Li Shen wrote the tenth article, he hesitated.
Because he really couldn't think of any battle to best describe the martial arts in the finale of Article 10.
According to comprehensive statistics, Honglin has fought at least thirty foreign wars so far, and his winning rate is 100%.
Of course, this 100% winning rate is conditional, that is, to crush the opponent purely by relying on military strength, not weapons and equipment.
When talking about armaments alone, not to mention the combination of hot and cold weapons like the Han Dynasty, even when compared with the popularity of cold weapons and armor in Southeast Asian countries, it is already far behind.
South Australia's mineral resources are so rich that it makes people salivate. However, in order to consolidate their own power, the top leaders of the Jin Kingdom will not vigorously mine and collect materials for fear that the miners will gather in one place to cause trouble and affect the peaceful and prosperous times.
Zhang Gui submitted letters more than once requesting to change the army's armament and open mines to increase iron production, but Honglin refuted them one by one.
But these are digressions. The martial arts in the tenth finale must be exciting.
But apart from the nine martial arts mentioned above, it seems that I can't find any that are more outstanding. If I just pick any one and write it down, Honglin will definitely not be satisfied.
Just when Honglin was worrying about how to complete the perfect martial arts, the palace in the capital was almost overwhelmed by the battle reports flying from all over the place...
On June 22, the prince in charge of supervising the country, Yezhupi Yunyan, looked at a table full of battle reports, and his scalp went numb.
Rather than saying this is a battle report, it is more appropriate to say it is a defeat report.
"The Dongyi invaded our territory. In less than a month, the naval forces stationed along the coast were unable to stop them for a moment? Are these still my world-famous Dajin officers and soldiers? Why have they become so miserable?"
Yunyan stood in the side hall, facing the waiting ministers, and he couldn't help but asked sharply.
Faced with the Crown Prince's words, everyone kept silent.
"This is an insult to the country's dignity. Don't you slaves like you know that you should share your worries for me!?"
"Let's see, Dongyi is advancing by land and water, aiming directly at our capital. Do I, the prince, have to watch them attack the capital?"
At this time, the would-be prince-in-law Fukang spoke: "Prince, I am willing to lead troops to attack the Dongyi. I only need 5,000 elite soldiers to annihilate them all in one battle!"
Yunyan looked better now, looked at Fukang and said: "The third-class prince serves the country and the country, and should be a role model for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Well, this prince will..."
"Wait!"
Before Yunyan could give the order, he was interrupted by Zhang Gui.
Just listen to Zhang Gui say: "Prince, I think the top priority is to understand who the enemy we are facing first.
Reports from various places only said that the Dongyi were brave, but other than that, we knew nothing about the number, equipment, or purpose of the Dongyi.
Therefore, the top priority is to consolidate the defenses of the capital, especially Huanglong Mansion. This is the gateway that Dongyi must pass through, and tens of thousands of additional troops should be deployed to garrison it.
The second group makes a careful investigation of the enemy's deployment, ascertains the level of armament, and then plans another strategy to defeat the enemy.
Thirdly, he should quickly send someone eight hundred miles away to inform the emperor to return to the capital, and also ask His Highness the Crown Prince to do as the slave said. "
Zhang Gui is worthy of being a famous general of Dajin. He quickly laid out his strategy clearly, especially in strengthening Huanglong Mansion. He was very discerning.
Unfortunately, after Yunyan listened to Zhang Gui's suggestion, he played with the jade pendant in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, obviously not satisfied with this steady military deployment.
It is true that what Zhang Gui said was correct, but not only Yunyan, but also everyone present did not take Dongyi's invasion to heart.
After all, the defense of the capital of Dajin is impregnable, Huanglong Mansion is even garrisoned by 30,000 elite indigenous people, and the city walls are thick. How could Dongyi attack Huanglong Mansion?
Hearing this, Fukang immediately said: "Master Zhang, you are too cautious. They are just a group of Dongyi people. As soon as my Chinese army is dispatched, why don't you immediately fall to the ground and beg for mercy?"
