The Battle of Seoul was fought steadily and conservatively.
Zhang Fu gave up the use of sharp firearms and powerful offensives, and chose a siege method to win without a fight. This is quite inappropriate for the entire army. Everyone is eager for military glory. Can these Japanese soldiers who starve to death count as military glory?
Calculate.
This was Zhang Fu's answer, and then it became a long wait and siege.
Zhu Yunwen could not imagine how desperate the Japanese troops trapped in Seoul were. Obviously, he admired Zhang Fu's behavior. Putting the Japanese army into a desperate situation, their own people killed their own people and their own people ate their own people until everyone lost their human attributes and became wild beasts.
Seoul no longer exists except for its tall city walls.
Because the dead Korean sergeants and Japanese soldiers were all in the city, the plague was rampant, and the bodies were left uncollected, it was estimated that it would be difficult to live in for a year or two.
Not long after the news of Zhang Fu's victory was delivered, the head of Dao Gengmeng, the chieftain of the Yunnan carriage, was sent to Jinling and placed on the Wuying Hall.
It's a bit pitiful to say that Dao Gengmeng, the big boss who organized the chieftains from all over Yunnan, did not participate in the final battle with the Yunnan chieftains.
Guo Yao and others went deep into the car and persuaded Dao Gengmeng's younger brother Dao Gengmeng to surrender to the court. Then they approached Dao Gengmeng in the name of the grain transport team. After that, they tied up Dao Gengmeng and actually killed Dao Gengmeng. Sent out first.
When Mu Sheng led the army to surround the camp on all sides and artillery fire covered the chieftain's camp, Dao Gengmeng was already kneeling in front of Mu Sheng. This action of capturing an enemy chief among a hundred thousand troops made Guo Yao and others famous in one battle, but they also received a heavy beating from Mu Sheng, who said they were taking too many risks.
Zhu Yunwen did not expect that Dao Gengmeng would be so aggrieved by his failure, and he did not know how the chieftains arranged their defense. A large living person could be taken out of the camp. However, considering that the other party was just a temporary team made up of chieftains from all over the country. , and I feel relieved.
I remember that during the Hongwu period, soldiers from the Ming Dynasty went deep into Guizhou and directly captured two enemy chiefs, ending a war. I guess Guo Yao also followed the example of his ancestors...
The war in Korea was no longer worth mentioning, and it was only a matter of time before the remaining Japanese troops were driven out and exterminated. Dingyuan Province in the East China Sea is fighting chaos, and it is only a matter of time before order can be reestablished.
Wu Liangha's tribe was massacred. Yuan Yue's army should not stay near Daning, but should march westward to cooperate with Zhu Di to complete the siege of the Tatars.
Zhu Yunwen issued an order and ordered Yuan Yue to assemble all the cavalry near Daning to find the Tatar tribe's grazing place, destroy their lairs, and appear in the rear areas of Arutai and Benyasili.
The so-called world-wide attack has completely failed, leaving only Tatar, Oara, Nanyang, which has not yet received news, and Uzang, who is not in a hurry to deal with it.
Sheng Yin from the Imperial College of Medicine and Pang Huan from the Security Bureau asked to see him. After saluting, Sheng Yin said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Zuozhao is dead, and the Security Bureau has verified his identity."
When Zhu Yunwen saw Pang Huan nodding slightly, he asked Sheng Yin, "You don't need to go to the palace to report this kind of thing in person, right? What else is there?"
Sheng Yin took out a document from his arms and handed it to the chamberlain: "Before Zhu Zuozhao died, he said some words, and I recorded them."
Zhu Yunwen took the document and did not read it immediately. Instead, he said: "Sheng Yin, Dean Wang is not in good health. He wants to stay in Jinling. He hopes that you will lead a team to the Imperial College of Peking and take charge of the Imperial College of Peking."
Sheng Yin's heart was heavy: "Your Majesty, but the date for moving the capital has been finalized?"
As Wang Bin's disciple, Sheng Yin knew that Wang Bin regarded him as his son. It was not just a teacher-student relationship of teaching and teaching, but more like a father and son. Now that Wang Bin is in poor health and getting older, if she is separated from him, who will take care of him? If something happens to him, who will take care of him?
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly: "Although the date for moving the capital has not been set, after two palace rebellions and the burning of Fengtian Palace, Jinling is no longer suitable to be the capital for a long time. At present, the wars in North Korea, Northeast China, and Wuliangha are coming to an end, and a large number of people have I will return to Peiping. I have already issued an order to speed up the construction of Peking. I believe that the outer city will be basically completed next year."
Sheng Yin frowned and asked: "Excuse me, I dare to ask, what will happen to the Imperial Academy in Jinling after the capital is moved, and what will happen to the various industries in Jinling? What will happen if the capital is moved this time?"
Will it not lead to the decline of Jinling? "
Zhu Yunwen stood up and walked towards Sheng Yin: "In the beginning, we prepared to move the capital to deal with foreign enemies such as Tatar, Ulyanha, and Oara. Now we are moving the capital to consider environmental control in all directions. After defeating Oara and Tatar, the northern border will move northward. If we move, the grassland will be under the control of the imperial court. If the imperial court does not move the capital and resources do not move north, problems will arise in the northern territory sooner or later. As for Jinling, I will not allow it to decline, and it cannot decline."
"In the next two to three years, some industries will move north, but Jinling will still be the ship manufacturing center of the Ming Dynasty, a steam technology center, and a papermaking and textile center. I plan to build multiple universities in the Ming Dynasty, including Peking and Nanjing. , Xi'an, Chengdu, all should retain or establish new Imperial Colleges, and the colleges should select talents according to their own standards..."
Sheng Yin felt much relieved after listening to Zhu Yunwen's explanation.
There are many people who are worried about the decline of Jinling due to the relocation of the capital. However, judging from Zhu Yunwen's thoughts, he does not plan to excessively draw blood in Jinling, nor does he plan to fully move the industry northward. On the contrary, he will support and protect Jinling's industry.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Peking."
Sheng Yin solemnly agreed.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Sheng Yin with relief: "One tree cannot cover the world. I hope that the future medical school can be two trees, five trees, or a forest, which can cover millions of people and save lives! Don't worry, I plan to let Zhu Gaochi live in Jinling and be responsible for taking care of the industry in Jinling and taking good care of Dean Wang."
"Zhu Gaochi? This is a good candidate."
Sheng Yin was familiar with Zhu Gaochi and knew that although he was physically ill, he was quite talented. Most importantly, Zhu Gaochi was kind-hearted.
"Then King Yan..."
"King Yan, haha, of course you will follow me."
Zhu Yunwen didn't want another accident to happen to the Ming Dynasty. It was difficult to control if it was far away, but he could still cope with it if it was close.
Sheng Yin resigned.
Zhu Yunwen picked up the documents on the desk, unfolded them and asked Pang Huan: "Why haven't you found the chess player order and the ancient and modern order until now? Have you searched all over Zhu Yunxi's mansion?"
Pang Huan looked at Zhu Yunwen uneasily, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, we have searched everything inside and outside, but we haven't found anything yet. According to Zhu Yunxi's explanation before he died, the token was in his study, but after searching through the study, I can't find the token. It seems, it seems..."
"What does it seem like?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned and his eyes became sharp.
Pang Huan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's our fault that we didn't do our job well. It seems that the token has been taken away..."
