Comparing the food alone, most of the Japanese Ashigaru soldiers did not feel that they came to Liaodong to fight, but more like they came to rob and eat and drink.
According to the bilateral agreement reached between General Tokugawa and the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, the Japanese army could take away all the people, animals and items they could take away on land for cash.
They did follow the instructions. In the Fuzhou area, except for some guys who were too old to walk, no other gadgets were left to the Qing army, and almost the entire Fuzhou city was emptied.
If possible, everyone in the Japanese army will plan to come back next year, and they must come as early as possible, because this way they will have more time to rob...
It has been clearly stated above that everything in the area occupied by the Qing army can be taken away, and the Japanese samurai and ashigaru can free their hands and fight.
If they weren't worried that Qing reinforcements were approaching Fuzhou City, they would have wanted to go north to Gaizhou and continue looting.
The greater the damage to the areas occupied by the Qing army, the more fruitful our results will be.
This was said by the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, and he was encouraging the Japanese army to take action on their own.
This is what the Qing army did in the Ming Dynasty, and it is understandable to copy the past.
When robbery is not possible, making money by fighting has become the only feasible way to make money at the moment.
A certain prince also knew the virtues of the Japanese army very well. As long as there was food and ammunition in their hands and people could breathe, they would stick to it.
This is exactly the same as Gray Animals, and compared with their counterparts, the advantage of the Japanese army is that they do not need enough vodka...
Therefore, a certain prince has ordered Navy Chief Mao Yuanyi to mobilize all manpower and material resources in the Dengrai area to support the Japanese troops landing on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Enough money!
Enough food!
Enough ammunition tubes!
Even special medicines were sent in droves, and the support was unprecedented.
A certain prince had only one request, that is, no matter what method he uses, as long as it can cause damage to the braid, whether it is internal or external injury, it will be considered a success. The longer the time drags on, the more people and horses are delayed, and the greater the scale of success.
Mouse paid three million taels of silver to let the Japanese army play with Braid for a month. At least a certain prince thought it was a good deal.
If the Ming army had done this, not only would a huge sum of money have been lost, but tens of thousands of people would have been lost, plus door-to-door delivery!
Rather than letting Guan Ning's army lose its troops, it would be better to invite the Japanese army from afar to appear and blind the pigtails' titanium alloy dog eyes!
A certain prince didn't believe that 50,000 Japanese troops couldn't hold out for even half a month, so he was beaten into the sea by pigtails, ran home in despair, and was even wiped out by the regiment in the Port Arthur area.
With strong logistical support and the Ming fleet blocking the coastal areas, the Japanese army could at least survive for a while as long as they did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.
"Your Highness! What a great victory! What a great victory..."
The sound of Yang Jinchao's drake voice was really unpleasant, just like when chalk is scratched crookedly on a blackboard.
"……oh???"
The weather was very hot today, and a certain prince, like the civil servants and generals, was exhausted from boredom and was no longer in a good mood.
A great victory?
Since I have taken charge of the country's governance, great victories are not common.
The first big win was getting rid of the borers!
The second great victory was to kill the Beijing camp!
The third great victory was to send the dumper to Nandu...
Yang Jinchao came in with a bag of stuff. He didn't know exactly what it was, but he could open it and take a look.
The messengers were personnel sent by the Denglai Navy and the Imperial War Department, so there was no need to suspect that their identities were false.
I can see some of the things inside, not one piece, but a bunch.
After the chamberlain confirmed that there were no poisons or hidden weapons, a certain prince placed all the items on his small table and then browsed them one by one.
First, there were autographed letters from Abe Shigeji, Mao Yuanyi, and Zheng Zhibao, and then there were the seals of the captured Qing generals, as well as the waist swords as proof.
A certain prince took a few minutes to read the contents of the letter, then nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his lips. It seemed that this "borrowing a knife to kill a pig" strategy was effective.
"My son, I respectfully invite my mother to be the Holy Mother!"
He was also very curious when he saw his beautiful biological mother, so a certain prince personally handed over the letter to make the mother of the country a little happy.
"...Brother Hong, is what is stated in the letter true?"
Queen Zhou looked shocked, with surprises and doubts in her heart. She was afraid of being deceived by the above content. After all, the Ming Dynasty had not been able to win on the battlefield for a long time.
"Mother, the photos must be developed soon, and the authenticity can be verified by then. And with the other seized items as proof, I think the content in the letter is probably true."
A certain prince specially put on gloves, then picked up a waist knife, pulled the blade out of the scabbard, and showed it in public. Judging from the condition of the knife, the knife was old, but it was still quite sharp.
"Enter the court and circulate the letter to the cabinet and everyone to read it!"
In order to avoid being touched by many people, the letters were only placed on a tray. No matter whether it was Xue Guoguan, the first assistant, Wu Zong, the second assistant, or the civil servants and generals in the hall, they could only stretch their necks to read.
But this is enough, because the content of the letter is very simple and easy to understand. It probably means that the Japanese army recently gathered and annihilated 3,000 Qing army cavalry in the area of Erlong Mountain and Case Mountain north of Lushun!
On the Ming side, killing a hundred Tatars can be regarded as a "big victory".
By analogy, killing a thousand Tatars is a "huge victory"!
Killing three thousand Tatars would undoubtedly be "super quick"!
Four Han generals placed a large piece of satin red cloth in the main hall, and then placed the trophies sent from outside on it one by one.
A pile of waist knives, armor, Niuluzhang Jingzhu flag, forward school flag, guard school flag, and even the Beizi Gushan'e Zhenzhen flag dedicated to Shuotu were seized.
Since the armors were ripped off from the dead, a little lime was sprinkled on them for protection in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
According to the instructions of a certain prince, most of the Tatar heads do not need to be sent to the capital. They can just be photographed on the spot. Individual senior generals can send them as display specimens.
The flags and armor not only had holes, but also had obvious blood stains, which proved the ferocity of the fierce battle at that time.
"Your Highness, the photo has been developed. Please accept it from Your Highness!"
Yang Jinchao asked eight young chamberlains to carry a pile of copper plate photos to the owner. These are the best proof materials that ordinary people will never see.
"My dear friends, does anyone recognize Mao Yuanyi?"
A certain prince did not know Zheng Zhibao, let alone Abe Shigeji. Even Mao Yuanyi, who had been promoted personally, had to be corroborated by others before he could rest assured.
"Your Highness, I recognize this person!"
"Your Highness, I also recognize this person!"
"Your Highness Qi..."
It's okay not to ask. After asking, a bunch of civil servants and generals jumped out. This can be regarded as a sneak peek.
"I recognize this person, but I still need you to verify the situation with your own eyes!"
After a certain prince saw it, he just asked his beautiful biological mother to take a look at it from a distance, so as not to have nightmares at night, because all the photos showed were "trophies."
"Absolutely correct!"
"It's this person!"
A group of guys who came here specifically to take photos pointed at the posed photo of Mao Yuanyi with her feet on her braided corpse. I have to say that this photo was very uplifting.
Mao Yuanyi, Zheng Zhibao, and Abe Shigeji stepped on the pigtailed corpse and took a photo together, which is the most direct proof of the results of the cooperation between the two parties.
Behind them is a group photo of Japanese officers and soldiers holding the captured Kaizi Gushan'e Zhenzhen flag, and the background board behind is a mountain of braided corpses.
Later, a certain prince publicly questioned several court officials who were escorting the loot to Beijing. They all saw it with their own eyes and could sign and pledge it as evidence. Moreover, they had relatives in Beijing as hostages, so they were determined not to deceive the emperor.
This is the second one. The most important evidence is that many people took photos with the Second City of Lushun as the background. The results of the killings can be faked, but the city walls cannot be faked. Now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty no longer doubted his presence.
"Have you seen everything clearly? Let me state my position first. Through the evidence provided by many trophies, I believe that the victory of this battle is true. We can publish it in newspapers and announce it to the world. We can also send fast riders to my father. It’s a celebration for everyone!”
Zheng Zhibao can lie, and Abe Shigeji is also qualified, but Mao Yuanyi can't, otherwise he will not be beaten to the end, but the whole family will be tortured and executed.
With these as proof, a certain prince didn't bother to look at the specimens sent. Instead, he could show them to the millions of military officials in the city and have fun.
"Your Highness has a keen eye, and I believe that this great victory is true!"
Xue Guoguan, as a yes man for a certain prince and a military commander of the country, always kept in mind the four-character motto. This kind of good thing is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he was determined not to miss it.
For Xue Guoguan, it doesn't matter whether the matter is true or false. As long as the prince says it is true, it is true. He just needs to follow the prince's wishes.
"I agree with what the Chief Assistant said!"
Before Xue Guoguan's follower Feng Quan could speak, Wu Di, the second assistant, rarely followed up.
"I agree with what the first and second assistants said!"
After him, a group of people followed suit. The prince and the cabinet all recognized it. Even if some people still had concerns, it was difficult to find any flaws.
"That's great! The newspaper can quickly write relevant articles based on these spoils of war. After I verify that they are correct, they can be printed overnight. Tomorrow, the people in the city and Jifu will be informed of this great victory. Oh, By the way, tomorrow’s front page will be printed with red dye!”
Not to mention annihilating three thousand enemies, even if he wiped out three hundred enemies, a certain prince decided to publish it in the newspaper.
I just play the game of unilaterally announcing victory. Even if Huang Taiji sees it, what can he do?
"I obey the decree!"
The consort Gong Yonggu was also very happy. This was considered to be the largest victory achieved in recent days, or even in recent years.
Although it was done by the Japanese army, they were fighting the Qing army for the Ming Dynasty. To put it into detail, the Ming Dynasty was the employer of the Japanese army.
"Charter!"
"I'm here!"
"When Hai hour comes tonight, a hundred groups of fireworks will be launched on time outside Chengtian Gate!"
"I obey the decree!"
Originally, I wanted to ask Feng Quan, the Minister of Etiquette, to handle the matter of setting off the fireworks, but since the gifts also had to be sent to the people of the twenty-four yamen, it would be better to leave the job directly to Chu Xianzhang, the eunuch in charge of the supervisory bureaus.
A certain prince also wanted to make something on a larger scale, but considering that gunpowder is currently used to make ammunition, if it is to use several tons at a time to satisfy the eye, it is better to actually make hand grenades to support the Japanese army.
As long as the Japanese army is willing to stay in the Lushun area for a few more days, the Ming Dynasty can provide everything, and the pressure after autumn will be relieved. Don't ask for too much, as long as they can save 10,000 braids, it will be a great achievement... …
"I will retreat from the court in a moment. Dear ladies, you will go back to your respective yamen to handle official business. I will be in the East Palace at four o'clock in the afternoon, dear ladies!"
If the news of turning Huangji Palace into a "cafeteria" reaches the ears of the dumpster, it will probably make him angry to the point of high blood pressure. Think about it, how can you be so unfilial?
It would be better to hold a banquet in the East Palace. If you eat early, you can avoid mosquitoes coming to disturb you. If everyone can't bear it, they will have to "voluntarily donate blood."
It's not okay to take civil servants and generals to visit the beautiful women's gallery, but you can invite entertainment stars to perform in the rear residence. Except for some special programs, they can be displayed in public.
If you are not satisfied with the view and still have some spare money in your pocket, you can spend money to go to the main hall to enjoy it again. There are sofas there, which are much more comfortable than the Taishi chair here in the rear residence.
Invitations are only for small-scale people who can go to the palace to participate in the final decision-making. If the rank of the official is too low, they can be exempted directly...
The compromise reached by a certain prince and these people in front of him is that if you support my suggestion, I will guarantee you a high salary, and you can also have good food, drink, and entertainment during the holidays.
I dare not talk about other political achievements, but a certain prince can guarantee that this is the highest treatment for court officials, especially those in the upper palace, in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Rebellion Dynasty.
The salary has increased a lot, there will be no arrears of salary, and the rice paid out is still polished. Every one of them, including the chamberlain, the royal guards and the Han general, have all been bribed by a certain prince. Who dares to make trouble?
Successfully controlled the cabinet and government!
Successfully drove away the self-righteous dumper!
Successfully became the regent before Dorgon!
Successfully caused tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers to harm each other on Braid's territory!
Next step……
That is to set a small goal and successfully become a "perfect old man" first!
Damn it!
Play the dead chicken!
The malaria kills the chicken!
Then there will be no Yong chicken in the Kang chicken...
In this way, a certain emperor's title of "Shiquan Old Man" belongs to a certain prince!
From the perspective of goals, although this goal is a bit far away, it is not impossible to achieve.
Although the Japanese army was responsible for the great victory in this battle, the Ming Dynasty could still celebrate it.
For ministers who have become complete foodies, the important thing is to find a reason to have a drink!
After retiring from the court, Wang Jiayan, Minister of War, hurriedly took two ministers to inspect the specimens sent.
If the work efficiency is high enough and the speed is fast enough, they can still catch up with the meal time.
Those who work in the Ministry of War are all serious "cold-blooded animals", and accepting specimens will not affect their appetite.
For a certain prince and his foodie brothers and sisters, the best meal in such hot weather is barbecue and iced sour plum soup.
Civil servants and military officers are not picky eaters. Even if the imperial chef in the imperial palace cooks barbecue, the taste is far better than that of his colleagues outside, not to mention that the drinks are free and sufficient.
Didn't catch Shuo Tuo...
pity!
Pity!
Too late for this thing?
That is impossible.
How could such a kind prince do such a cruel and inhumane thing?
Since he is the Bei Ziye of the Qing Dynasty, he must make the best use of everything!
If this dream comes true, it will surely make many fat ladies in the capital very happy...
If Shuotuo was "nurtured" like this, his biological father Daishan would be very happy.
But if we don't catch it, we have to consider this matter in the long run.
The most regrettable thing should be the Japanese army, who made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at a time!
