The first naval battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Empire ended with the Ming Dynasty's complete victory.
It's a complete victory.
No one was killed, and no battlefield was damaged.
The difference is too huge.
The Japanese side was also ruthless, almost all of which were suicide attacks. However, when the last warship was sunk, it did not cause any actual damage to the Ming army.
"Take no prisoners."
Feng Sheng looked at the Japanese warrior falling into the water and said indifferently.
Compassion does not command troops.
Feng Sheng, who has spent most of his life on horseback, has no sympathy for the weak.
These Japanese warriors who fell into the water were very brave, and they were not afraid of death. It would be difficult for them to join the army if they stayed. They were a complete disaster.
Even if it were to be forcibly cultivated into a fine craft, the price would be too high.
The best craftsman is never a sergeant.
But the nobility.
Feng Sheng has a very deep understanding of this point.
As the military order was issued, thousands of warships gathered. The soldiers on the ship bent their bows and arrows and shot them directly.
The main reason why fire system was not used was that gunpowder was expensive and difficult to supply at sea. In this situation of killing drowned dogs, there was no need to waste it.
After staying for about a stick of incense and feeling that the shooting was basically completed, Feng Sheng ordered the fleet to continue moving forward.
Heading towards Kyushu Island.
The more than 500 warships of the Japanese country only hindered the Ming Navy for less than two hours.
It makes no sense at all.
...
Daming this side.
Lan Yu, Zhu Quan and others have returned to the capital.
For the imperial court, the most significant nature of the rebellion by Tian Jiucheng and others was to proclaim themselves emperor.
In fact, there are not many people who have rebelled in recent years. On average, similar situations happen every few years.
It's just that Tian Jiucheng's momentum this time is a bit more powerful.
It's not a big achievement, it's just like training soldiers.
But the next trip to Liaodong is very important.
"The changes in this capital must have been huge. How long have I been waiting to go here? Two months have not yet arrived, and I feel as if I have changed to a different place."
After the morning court, Lan Yu and Cao Zhen followed their previous habits and gathered their friends for a meal and a drink.
After all, we have won the battle, and the brothers have to celebrate.
When I came back before, I was already shocked by Zhengyang Avenue. When I didn't want to walk around, I was even more exaggerated.
Hearing Cao Zhen's sigh, Lan Yu also nodded in agreement.
"Not only that, haven't you noticed that the people in the capital seem to have changed a lot."
Lan Yu's words made Cao Zhen observe carefully, but looking at the hurried pedestrians, it seemed that there wasn't much change.
Seeing Cao Zhen's indifferent expression, Lan Yu also knew the situation of his brother, and was too lazy to beat around the bush and said bluntly:
"Look at these people, every one of them has a sense of hope. Even when talking to others, they smile sincerely and happily."
"Even a vendor carrying a load looks very energetic."
After hearing these words, Cao Zhen discovered these characteristics.
Looking back on the situation of the people outside the capital, it is very obvious when compared.
"Let's go to Laifu Restaurant first."
Lan Yu said hello and walked away first.
Laifu Restaurant is quite famous in the capital, and noble generals like Lan Yu often have dinner there.
It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually the structure of the front building and the backyard.
Lan Yu and other Huaixi dignitaries all have high status. Of course, they cannot stay in the lobby when they come to the restaurant to eat and drink.
Otherwise, ordinary guests won’t be able to let go.
This Laifu Restaurant is the Chang family's business, so we still need to take care of it to some extent.
"Dong Guo Liang, please come this way."
The owner of the restaurant has a keen eye. Hearing that Duke Liang had returned victoriously, he would stare at the main road whenever the restaurant opened in the past two days.
Sure enough, he soon saw Lan Yu's figure.
Before the waiter could make any move, he came out of the counter to greet him.
When you go to the backyard of the restaurant, there is naturally a separate side door.
But Lan Yu stopped at the door of the restaurant, frowned and asked, "What are the storytellers here talking about?"
In just a few sentences, Lan Yu heard some familiar content, which was about some arrangements made by the imperial court.
When will it be possible to talk about state affairs so blatantly in a restaurant?
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Liang Guoping returned in rebellion, but he didn't know something. Recently, everyone in the capital has been asking storytellers to describe the contents of the newspaper."
"There is a lot of news about the imperial court in the Di newspaper, and everyone is very interested."
Listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Lan Yu suddenly became interested.
"Okay, let me go first and listen to this storyteller. What is it about? Tell the brothers in the backyard that I will go later."
After hearing Duke Liang's instructions, the shopkeeper quickly greeted him personally and entered the restaurant lobby.
Naturally, Cao Zhen came with him.
After asking a clever boy to wait nearby, the shopkeeper ran towards the backyard to deliver the message.
It is true that the restaurant belongs to the Chang family, but the shopkeeper is not from the Chang family.
None of the officials in the backyard can be offended by him.
The shopkeeper has always been very clear that he cannot be the shopkeeper of the Chang Family Restaurant all his life. If he offends someone in this position, maybe others will not embarrass him for the time being for the sake of the Chang Family.
But if you are cautious, just say hello when he is done with it, and your family will be ruined.
Many guests in the restaurant did not react much to Lan Yu's entrance.
After all, there is no such thing as portrait in this era. Unless you are familiar with it, no one will recognize it.
Because of the Chang family's industrial relationship, Laifu Restaurant is considered high-end in the entire capital, but also safe.
No one has ever dared to cause trouble here.
Even though the prices here are not low, the same tea is a few cents more expensive than other restaurants, but it's more respectable.
Lan Yu and Cao Zhen sat down in the restaurant and began to hear the scholar's story.
Just as he listened, his originally relaxed face became a little more serious.
Some of the things the storyteller is talking about now are mainly about the recent developments in Di Bao, including some of the previous content of Di Bao, and they also have a lot of retelling content.
After all, if you read a newspaper like this, even if you speak slower, it will be a waste of time.
Therefore, when a storyteller is telling a story, he cannot finish it all at once and just end it.
I can only add a lot of my own stuff into it.
Sometimes, as a last resort, I take out the contents of the previous Di newspaper and analyze them again.
Fortunately, the guests were not bored and enjoyed listening to it.
The most important thing is that the Di Bao is updated very quickly, especially in the capital.
But now this is very important news for Lan Yu.
Because all the changes in the Ming Dynasty are based on this.
When the storyteller was explaining, he also expressed some opinions that had already spread.
I listened for half an hour.
It wasn't until the retelling of the content began that Lan Yu got up and left.
"I didn't expect that His Highness Taisun is really so powerful. Although I had already guessed it, I was still surprised when the day actually came."
"This is only what a small storyteller can see, there is much more that he cannot see."
"Brother Zhen, I have a feeling that today's Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of His Highness Taisun, may change at an extremely rapid rate, beyond your imagination."
