Chapter 143 The war has come to an end
When He Xi learned about the dispute between King Yan and Wu Gao, the Tatars had already retreated from Changchun Fort.
The losses in all aspects were quickly summarized at He Xi's place.
He Xi actually regretted that Wu Gao missed the opportunity. I also have my own ideas about the use of Wu Gao. If you need someone to guard a place in the future, Wu Gao would be the most suitable one. They just expected Wu Gao to take the initiative to attack or win a big battle. But it doesn't work anymore.
He himself had no such idea.
However, there are not many all-rounders in the world. Moreover, Wu Gao’s background cannot be used in the future.
The loss is certainly not big.
But launching the Northern Expedition this year is almost impossible.
However, King Yan's performance also made He Xi very happy.
What He Xi cares most about is naturally his foundation in Liaodong, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have the desire to win or lose. It doesn't mean that he just wants to take advantage of it. He Xi was willing in his heart. Although he had a strong background, even if he made some mistakes, he would not be punished. But He Xi doesn't seem to be stained.
Fortunately, with King Yan's attack, this battle can be covered up.
And after this battle, there should be no major battles this year. Because good news also came from Japan.
He Xi held some military reports and the losses in various directions, and thought to himself: "I originally thought that Yuan Ting was already a dead tiger, and I didn't want to bite anyone again. I just put my head on the throne for next year, and wait for next year." "
------
The military reports from Liaodong and the good news from Japan also arrived in Peiping at this moment.
The prince first read the military report from Liaodong.
The lines in the Congjun newspaper reminded the prince of various records during the Jingnan period. The excitement of this battle was far inferior to the several fierce battles in Jingnan. But King Yan's military talent has been undoubtedly revealed. The prince was in a daze, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
However, the prince's inner thoughts were immediately suppressed by himself.
The prince secretly thought: "Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao. King Yan is your brother, how can you doubt your brother for no reason? Since he has promised you to leave Mobei, what else do you want? Do you have to kill each other to feel at ease?" If this is the case, what kind of books have you read in the past few decades? How can you become a prince?"
The prince reflected on himself. There is no worry about King Yan, but it is within a reasonable range. As the saying goes, the king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, the son. In the prince's case, there are also brothers.
In other words, if the younger brothers are willing to act like younger brothers and not covet things they shouldn't, then the prince is willing to be a good brother and a good prince. But if the younger brothers are restless, don't blame him as the prince and the heir apparent of the country. , dealt with according to national law.
Immediately, he added a few paragraphs to the military newspaper and asked people to send it to Nanjing.
There are only a few paragraphs in the military newspaper, but not much. But it is the shaping of this battle.
Will this battle be won or lost? It's hard to say.
In terms of repelling the enemy, it is a natural victory. But this was the time when the Ming Dynasty was founded, not the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It was just a repulse, which could hardly be called a victory. After all, the Tatars allowed the Tatars to penetrate hundreds of miles into the border and kill more than ten thousand people on all sides. It is difficult to call it a victory, although there were not many Han people among them, because the Han people hid in the castle when they saw the beacon smoke. But those tribes who were attached to the Ming Dynasty at the border did not have any castles to live in. Nature has been plundered.
But the prince should comment on this paragraph.
This battle can be determined and won.
This victory was not determined by defeat, but by beheading thousands.
In fact, this time Mongolia went south, more than thousands of people were killed. It’s just that many corpses did not fall into Daming’s hands. After all, the Mongols have a military rule that as long as they can retrieve the body of the deceased, they can inherit the deceased's property and family.
Naturally, they would not leave the corpse to the Ming army easily.
However, even with so many thousands of beheadings, the previous losses can be ignored.
And he praised King Yan.
Then the prince thought for a moment and asked someone to send two copies of the words of praise to King Yan to the Prince of Jin's Mansion and the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
The most powerful areas of the Ming Dynasty are Qin, Jin, Yan, and Qi. Among them, Yan and Qi have already taken their own directions. Only Qin Jin seems to be stubbornly resisting to the end. The prince naturally wanted to give him a beating.
Only then did the prince have time to carefully ponder Japan's good news.
It's just Japan's good news, the prince is a little confused. What does it mean to hit Dazaifu with a rocket, the sound shook for miles, and the liver and gallbladder were torn apart? The Shimazu family saw the power of heaven and were willing to surrender. They changed their surname to Qin and raised the flag of justice. After attacking Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Kyushu Island Peninsula was used by the Ming Dynasty and the enemy had escaped. escape.
The Kyushu Campaign has reached its final stage.
The prince didn't know much about Japan's intelligence, nor did he know much about the so-called rockets. Therefore, I am a little confused about the situation in the battle report. We can only send people to Japan to understand the situation. Look what this Liaodong Rocket is.
In fact, this battle was successful.
Although there is a reason for the Liaodong Rockets, it is not the main reason. The key is Fu Youde's skills.
As time went by, Fu Youde prepared more and more. He was already preparing to launch a general offensive and pave the way forward with the blood of Koreans. But at this time, Ye Chen brought Rocket to the front line. There are not many rockets. Only a few hundred pieces.
After all, Liaodong does not have much inventory and was not prepared for mass production. These few hundred coins are in stock. Or because He Xi wanted to see if there were any problems in the production process, she produced a batch.
Although Liaodong's industrial system already has some foundations, rocket production is not difficult. But if we really want to produce it on a large scale, it will still take a while, about two or three months of adjustment. The Tatars' march south actually disrupted the rhythm of production, and it may take longer.
In a large-scale war, in He Xi's opinion, hundreds of them are of no use at all.
However, Fu Youde used these rockets on the blade.
He directly replaced the Ming infantry and asked the Shimadzu family's envoys to observe the battle. Without this rocket, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are enough to undertake this kind of task of overcoming difficulties. It's just more sacrifices. Now with the rocket, it is even more powerful. The rocket is in front and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are behind. It was almost defeated in one charge.
In almost a few days, Nagasaki was broken and several lines of defense in Japan were broken. Straight into Dazaifu.
Dazaifu is the administrative agency of the Japanese imperial court in Kyushu. Because the Japanese imperial court lost power, it became a struggle very early. But Dazai Castle is still there, and it is where Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is currently located.
This series of fierce attacks shocked the Japanese military morale, and even caused many Japanese to call it a divine punishment. I can't believe that a rocket like this that can fly several miles can be built by humans. The envoys of the Shimazu family were even more stunned.
So Fu Youde gave the Shimadzu family fifty rockets and issued an ultimatum.
Tell the Shimazu family that if the Shimazu family is willing to surrender to the imperial court, these fifty rockets are the military resources allocated to the Shimazu family by the imperial court. Please ask the Shimazu family to immediately raise troops to drive out the Shimazu barbarians and surrender to China. If Shimadzu is not willing, then these fifty rockets should be regarded as a personal thank you gift to the Shimadzu family for their communication during this period of time. However, it won’t be necessary in the future.
Because from now on everyone is his own master and will fight until death.
This is actually a complete intimidation of the Shimazu family. The Shimadzu family was afraid of the Liaodong Rockets, and Fu Youde gave some Liaodong Rockets to the Shimadzu family, but still gave an ultimatum. Everyone understands that this means that Ming Dynasty has sharper weapons than rockets. There is no fear that Shimadzu will be able to fight against the might of tomorrow with the Rockets.
In this case, what can the Shimadzu family do?
They had never thought about the fact that there were not many people who were completely devoted to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, or in other words, there were not many people who were completely devoted to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu on Kyushu Island. Kyushu was not the base of the Ashikaga family. Make a choice between saving the Shimadzu family and saving Japan. The Shimadzu family will choose the Shimadzu family without hesitation.
Therefore, the Shimazu family changed their surname to Qin without hesitation, and asked the senior ministers in the family who were close to the Ashikaga faction to commit hara-kiri collectively, send their heads to the Ming Dynasty, and raise an army in southern Kyushu. For a time, many Kyushu daimyo began to wait and see. As a result, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had much fewer troops at his disposal.
The rest doesn’t take much.
The Ashikaga family's Kyushu began to collapse. The following is just a beating of the drowned dog. The Kyushu campaign that lasted for about half a year has finally come to an end.
