The divine machine cannon has covered five rounds, but Zheng Huai is still not satisfied!
Lin Xi stopped Zheng Huai who was continuing to give orders, and said seriously: "Master Qianhu, don't forget our battle plan. Wang Canjun has repeatedly warned us, and you have made a promise."
Zheng Huai gritted his teeth, opened his red eyes, and took a few deep breaths before he regained his senses and ordered the bombardment to stop.
The windows on the side of the ship were closed, and the divine machine cannon was fixed again.
Zheng Huai knew Wang Sui's battle plan. This madman from the Imperial Academy proposed a bold battle plan. He did not intend to capture Tsushima Island as the final battle goal, but to maximize the damage and killing of the Japanese army. for combat purposes.
Wang Sui's consideration is that since the Eastern Expedition has been launched and war has been declared on Japan, attacking only a small island of Tsushima is really lacking in deterrence, and such a small fight may not make Ashikaga Yoshimitsu feel good. If he is afraid, it will make him even more angry, and then he will directly target the Ming Dynasty, causing the problem of Japanese pirates.
Although the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of Japanese pirates, the main force of the Ming Dynasty Navy has gone to the West and the maritime ban has been lifted. The scale of Southeast Asian trade is getting bigger and bigger, and merchant ships come and go frequently. If the Japanese pirates make trouble, it will inevitably affect the safety of trading merchant ships.
Besides, with so many places along the coast, there are always things the Navy cannot take care of. Even if the imperial court allowed some coastal counties to retain some old-fashioned firecrackers, they still had no way to deal with Japanese pirates with hundreds of people.
The best way is to hurt the Japanese.
Wang Sui heard Zhu Yunwen say that most Japanese people are villains. The more you beat them, the more submissive they will be. The more you let them, the more ruthless they will be. To deal with such people, you should beat them until they cry for father and mother, and it hurts to the core of their bones!
In order to achieve this operational goal, attacking Tsushima Island is obviously of little use, because the great Ming Dynasty Sadashige of Tsushima Island is not an important minister of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, nor is he a close confidant of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Even if Sodashige died, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu probably won't be sad, maybe even laugh a few times.
But if the Ming Dynasty navy attacks Iki Island, then Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will have to come to support even if he doesn't, and he will have to send troops even if he doesn't.
Iki Island is the territory of the Kyogoku clan. Kyogoku Takaguchi’s father, Kyogoku Takakan, is a close confidant of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. He has followed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in battles for many years and helped Ashikaga Yoshimitsu put down rebellions in various places, including Ouchi Yoshihiro. Many famous heroes!
If the Ming Dynasty wants to besiege Iki Island, once Kyogoku Takako cannot resist, he will definitely ask for help from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will also have to give him support.
Wang Sui’s strategic vision consists of just four words:
Surround the island and call for help!
The island here is the extremely important Iki Island, the home base of the Kyogoku clan.
Since we want to besiege the island for reinforcements, we can't kill Kyogoku Takamitsu and others at once. Otherwise, who will call for reinforcements?
Zheng Huai ordered the siege of Iki Island.
Twelve large fortune ships, arranged in groups of four, were arranged on the north, east, and west of Iki Island, vacating the southern seaway.
On Iki Island, Kyogoku Kōkō hid in the depths of the house and shivered. If it hadn't been for Matsunaga Hide's repeated requests, Kyogoku Kōgō would not have wanted to come out and take charge of the situation.
Kun Sixiang reported to Kyogoku Gaoguang with a painful look on his face: "Our naval force lost more than 900 people, and most of the ships were destroyed. The samurai and sergeants lost more than 500 people, and more than 700 people were injured..."
Kyogoku Gaoguang's heart was bleeding. This was Kyogoku's most powerful power, but it was so damaged in an instant! If the Ming Dynasty Navy launches a few more bombardments, how long can the people in my hands hold on?
Matsunaga Hide looked at Kyogoku Gaoguang who was at a loss and said seriously: "Daimyo, we should immediately ask for help from the Taizheng Minister and ask him to send heavy troops to help us fight, and tell him that the purpose of the Daming Navy is to destroy the four islands. , no one can survive alone, the most important thing right now is to be sent to help us fight!"
"Yes, yes, please help!"
Kyogoku Gaoguang has found the backbone. The power of the Kyogoku family cannot stop the Ming army at all, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must be sent.
Ishimori was worried: "For the safety of the daimyo, is it necessary for the daimyo to temporarily withdraw from Iki Island and move to other islands?"
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Jing
Ji Gaoguang refused: "I will never leave here!"
Although Kyogoku Kogaku has no courage, no wisdom, and mediocre abilities, Iki Island is the home base of the Kyogoku clan and the foundation of a family. Once the Ming Dynasty withdraws, Ming Dynasty will definitely occupy Iki Island. Even if Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops in the future, Kyogoku Kogaku will also He will become a disgrace to the Kyogoku clan and completely lose his prestige. If the Ming Dynasty occupied Iki Island and used it as a springboard to directly attack Kyushu Island, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would probably kill him.
Matsunaga Hide agreed that Kyogoku Takamitsu should stay on Iki Island. As long as he is still there, the samurai and sergeants will not escape, and there will be hope for Iki Island to be defended.
Five days later, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Kitayama received a letter asking for help from Kyogoku Takamitsu. In shock, he quickly convened officials to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided that General Shiba Yoshimitsu would lead another three thousand troops to catch up with Akamatsu Zehiro. The troops gathered together and no longer rescued Tsushima Island, but directly rescued Iki Island. At the same time, they ordered the Sakai Port Navy to lead 200 ships and 3,000 soldiers to go north.
For the Muromachi shogunate, the direct-controlled troops (not counting the local daimyo) were only more than 50,000. In order to rescue Iki Island, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu directly mobilized 6,000 people, plus the 3,000 navy troops built with all his efforts, it can be said that it was a mobile force. True character.
After Zheng Zhun surrounded Iki Island, Chen Hui led the main force of the navy to Busan, looking at Tsushima Island opposite.
Wang Sui lay on the boat, enjoying the warm sun.
Chen Hui came over and asked Wang Sui, who was sleeping, "Are you not worried about Zheng Zhun at all? You know, he is a stubborn person, and it is impossible to say that he will destroy the Kyogoku clan in one go."
Wang Sui opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Hui, and closed them again: "Zheng Huai is not a stubborn person, he just cares too much about his sergeants. You should also know that many of those dead sergeants were his Cultivated by one hand, there is a life-long friendship.”
Chen Hui asked, "Because of this, shouldn't you be more worried about him?"
The corner of Wang Sui's mouth moved slightly: "Because of this, he knew how to restrain himself. He also knew that with the power in our hands, we could only fight a water war with the Japanese army and damage the Japanese army from a distance. If we want to truly It is absolutely impossible for us to occupy the Japanese country with more than 5,000 people."
Chen Hui sat down and looked at the sun: "Okay, let's not talk about Zheng Huai, let's talk about the Western Expedition. The imperial court is under great pressure. Do you think the Western Expedition army can win against Timur? There is no news, which is really worrying.”
Wang Sui opened his eyes and sat cross-legged on the deck: "Speaking to the deputy commander, you have seen the power of the divine machine cannon, and you also know how many divine machine cannons were taken away by the conquering army. What do you have to worry about? Let me tell you. I said, even if the war does not go smoothly and the power of the divine machine gun is not exerted, with the ability of King Yan, he will definitely be able to fight to the death with Timur, causing Timur to completely lose the power of the Eastern Expedition. What is going on in the northwest, you You don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Chen Hui knew Zhu Di's abilities and had heard about Tamerlane's power. He felt uneasy. Just when he was about to continue discussing with Wang Sui, someone announced: "Li Congmao from North Korea is here."
"Please quickly."
Chen Hui kicked Wang Sui to make him feel.
Wang Sui had no choice but to get up and entertain Li Congmao. The intelligence provided by this guy was very detailed. The adjustment of the combat strategy was because Li Congmao's intelligence provided the close relationship between the Iki Island Kyogoku clan and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Ming dynasty.
The exciting news that shocked the world rushed from Qamdo to Jiayuguan.
October 27th, Zhangye Daqing.
On the third day of November, Xi’an celebrates!
On the sixth day of November, the news reached Kaifeng. Jing Qing and Qi Tai went crazy and beat gongs and drums in person to celebrate the Ming Dynasty's victory in the Western Expedition!
On the ninth day of November, Fengyang learned that countless people took to the streets to greet the victorious sergeant!
On November 10th, Xue Xia led people across the Yangtze River!
The news of Qamdo's great victory was like a red line that stretched for thousands of miles, running through the east and west and turning to the southeast, spreading the news to the people and state capitals everywhere!
Great victory, great victory in Qamdo!
When the people in the capital heard about it, they were as enthusiastic as fire, and the suppressed sorrow in their hearts was instantly released, and turned into endless pride!
Look, that’s the athlete of Ming Dynasty!
Look, that’s Daming
flag!
Listen, that’s the good news for Ming Dynasty!
Listen, that is the cheers of Ming Dynasty!
When the good news came, it was during the early morning court. Zhu Yunwen immediately left the court and personally led the civil and military officials to wait in the square outside Fengtian Hall.
Jie Jin smiled from ear to ear, and Yu Xin, who was usually calm, couldn't stop smiling. Yang Shiqi squinted his eyes and held his hands in congratulations with the ministers. Mei Yin shook his head and sighed, what a great contribution, if he also went to the Western Regions...
Zhu Yunwen's palms were sweating nervously. This victory was far more difficult and difficult than the conquest of Annan. The various difficulties faced in it almost made the entire Ming Dynasty breathless!
If it hadn't been for many years of leather training, Zhu Yunwen couldn't imagine whether the Ming Dynasty could support an army of 150,000 to fight deep in the Western Regions!
finally.
finally!
Zhu Di, you finally did it. You did not let me down or let Ming Dynasty down!
Xue Xia, Huo Lin, Yang Fenghuo and others were ordered to ride into the palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xue Xia, who had not seen him for a long time, and at the tired but energetic sergeants who were all dusty, and nodded with a smile.
Xue Xia led the people to dismount and salute: "Xue Xia, who is also known to the commander of the Security Bureau, came to the capital to report to the emperor on the orders of Zhu Di, the general of the Western Conquest: On October 20, the sixth year of Jianwen, the general arrayed in Qamdo, and the decisive battle was announced. With 150,000 cavalry, Timur defeated the enemy in three battles. He killed more than 69,000 heads and captured more than 75,000 people. Timur was killed while escaping, and the main force was wiped out. He said: Great victory in Qamdo!"
The voice is loud and loud, and all the officials can hear it!
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward, helped Xue Xia up, patted Xue Xia's shoulder heavily, then looked at the other sergeants and said, "I'm in a very high mood now. Do you want to rest first, or do you want to drink a glass of wine with me?" Are you talking about the great victory at Qamdo?"
Huo Lin and Xuan Qingshu raised their heads slightly and looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise.
This person was Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen. He neither said words of comfort nor extended greetings. Instead, he invited everyone to drink. This was the first sentence I heard from Zhu Yunwen.
Give a feast!
Zhu Yunwen ordered all officials to suspend the court. The Inner Palace, the Imperial College, the Military War Bureau, the Second Artillery Bureau, the Capital Office... took one day off, and the craftsmen of Dabaoen Temple stopped working for one day with pay.
Merchants immediately seized the opportunity and started promoting: Big sale today...
News of the great victory spread quickly, from Nanjing directly to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangzhou, and Jiaozhi. It was like a huge radiation network, spreading the news quickly. Countless people learned that Ming Dynasty had defeated the most powerful enemy in the world, and there was a surge of confidence. , Pride arises spontaneously, and the proud soul of a country begins to nourish at this moment...
Zhu Yunwen listened to the thrilling stories told by Xue Xia, heard that Huo Lin went deep into Yilili City to chat with Timur, heard that Fu An and other envoys had returned successfully and were still on the way, and heard the stories of the battle...
