In the past five years of Chongzhen, two places were very lively. The Western gentlemen who came across the ocean had formed the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army and successfully landed in Madras. With their strong strength, they were quarreling with the Mughal Dynasty. They were testing their newly purchased weapons in Tianzhu. But this matter had nothing to do with the general of the Ming Dynasty. He just disposed of a batch of obsolete products that he had no use for. How could he care about the kind-hearted Western allies? What to do with it? There is a fleet on the Godavari River that speaks Ming Mandarin? It cannot be concluded that the Ming Empire was involved. They used Dutch War 3
Even more lively than Tianzhu is the Japanese island in the east. Zhu Youcong, who is responsible for upholding justice for others, really can't be a good person in silence this time. Who asked him to accept the accusations brought with blood and tears by the Western allies and protect him? How can legitimate merchants maintain freedom of belief while conducting normal trade? Therefore, the destruction of the Zheng family pirates and the fact that the Satsuma clan leader Shimazu Tadahashi kowtowed to admit his mistake must be blamed on this little fat man. What needs to be explained is that the people on Kyushu Island The matter of millions of Japanese farmers still has nothing to do with anyone else. Although the Samurai warriors went a bit too far in suppressing the heretics, didn't the Ming army also help teach them a lesson?
However, the righteous actions of the Ming Dynasty not only failed to earn the gratitude of the Japanese pirates, but instead made them mistakenly believe that kind people are easy to bully. They actually went crazy and assassinated Emperor Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty court and sent harsh words to the Empress Dowager. Tranquility under Jiuquan. Forced by domestic and foreign forces, the benevolent Chongzhen had to declare war on the Japanese. Although this edict had been issued long before Zhu Youcong landed on the Japanese island, he was just an idle prince at the time. I was losing weight in Luoyang and I really didn’t know about it. The blame lies with Li Yan, who was in charge of announcing the decree. It actually took him several months to find the emperor’s uncle who was wandering around doing good deeds.
After reading the imperial edict, even the best-tempered person will get angry. The general of the Ming Dynasty was kindly trying to purify the hearts of the Japanese pirates, but as a result, those ungrateful guys stabbed his brother in the back and even wanted to kill him. Grandma? So, the angry Zhu Youcong waved his pen and pointed his fat hand. The 170,000 well-equipped regular army of the Ming Dynasty did not bother to go home for the Spring Festival, but was immediately ordered to set off to officially start the war against the Japanese!
However, a good person is a good person. Even when facing the enemy, Zhu Youcong showed the demeanor of a humble gentleman. Now that the Japanese island is in turmoil with bandits, he is too embarrassed to take advantage of it. Instead, he spends a lot of money to redeem a lot of things that were robbed by the bandits. A woman from the Japanese island, and then announced a surrender order. Of course, the targets of this surrender were limited to Li Zicheng and other rogue bandits.[
After dealing with all this, it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when Zhu Youcong rushed to Edo, which was besieged by heavy troops. It is said that there is a Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The focus is not on the Lantern Festival but on the word "happy". And in the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, this Lantern Festival During the festive season, Zhu Youcong, who was unable to return to Luoyang for reunion, also decided to make a fuss, but he decided that the fuss he wanted was not the Lantern Festival but the Japanese island. Although the Japanese island at this time was already lively enough. The area west of Kyoto had been occupied by the overseas legion led by Li Zicheng After enough trouble, Nara changed its name to Mass Grave, but Zhu Youcong felt that this was not enough. He had to make a big splash so that the soldiers who were far away from their homeland could also experience the festive atmosphere.
"Li Zicheng! You kid are deliberately going against me, right? Sixty-one thousand, sixty-one thousand Japanese pirates, kill them as soon as you say?" Zhu Youcong was very angry. There are only so many people on the Japanese island, and those from Kyushu
After letting the Satsuma samurai clean it up, he still expected to run to the Japanese pirate island to vent his anger, but Li Zicheng beat him to it again.
"General, we couldn't control our impulse!" Li Zicheng really didn't know what kind of evil fire this little monster was unleashing. Didn't it just save him more than 600,000 taels of silver? Compared with the overseas legion,
What does that little money mean when you need to purchase arms for the first time? "We also have Wu Sangui and other senior Japanese generals in the army. Why don't we give them to you for free so you can practice your skills first?"
"Not interested!" Zhu Youcong didn't want to owe any favors. As a traitor, Wu Sangui had to be taken back to the Ming Dynasty to face trial, and killing all the remaining so-called Japanese island elites would not relieve his hatred.
"General, why don't you wait here and let the general go wandering around. How about I catch hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates and throw them into Edo Castle for you to have fun with?" Mao Yuanyi, who had just arrived from Shaanxi, finally understood why.
He easily deceived Cao Bianjiao into going to Kyushu and Shikoku. He originally thought that following his admired General Zhenguo and landing on the Japanese pirate island would help him win more battles, so that the 100,000 recruits in the Western Front Corps could grow up as quickly as possible. But who knew?
The legendary overseas legion was more ruthless than he was on the Tatar side. Apart from the Japanese pirates who were scattered, he didn't see any decent enemies along the way. He was so angry that he almost didn't let Li Zicheng go to the Japanese pirates.
Then both sides will have a fair duel.
"Brother Mao, I'm afraid you can't handle this! We've taken care of the main force of the Japanese pirates. If you want to fight, go to Zhang Tianlin to borrow some monks or ask the general for some foreign sticks, and see if you can get those lying down
The little mule in the field mustered up the courage to stand up again!" Li Zicheng could only apologize and admit his mistake in front of Zhu Youcong. When it came to official positions, he, as the commander-in-chief of the corps, was one level higher than the others, so
Only then can I joke with Mao Yuanyi with confidence.
"Okay, you kid, don't get an advantage here and act like a good boy!" He glared at Li Zicheng, and Zhu Youcong said nagly: "They say they miss their loved ones more during the festive season. Those who celebrate the New Year are always beaten and killed.
It's not auspicious to kill someone. Let's think about how to make the soldiers live happily first!"
"Isn't this simple? There are still many Japanese pirate girls in our army. Why don't we organize them to have a dance and a party or something? Then ask the brothers to drag two of them back to relieve their fatigue? Anyway, General, you can't
If you don't give me any money, just treat it as a gift to our brothers in the regular army!" Now that he had money, food, and people in his hands, Zuo Liangyu was rarely generous, and he gave away the two hundred thousand taels of silver goods as soon as he said they would.
"Go away, you don't have anything new except this?" Mao Yuanyi spat hard. Although he was also very moved, he was still a Confucian general who read poetry and books anyway. He was asked to be like the bandits of the overseas legions.
yyng ate barbecue, killed prisoners in a pit, and stripped the Japanese girl naked in broad daylight to check her body, but she really couldn't do it.
"Fresh?" Zuo Liangyu and others were worried. This was a Japanese island, except for money and women, they really couldn't bring out anything decent to entertain their brothers.
"This suggestion is okay, but today is the Lantern Festival, and every household in the Ming Dynasty is decorated with lanterns. Although we have left our hometown, we can't be too shabby, right?" After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youcong stood up and said: "
Assemble the whole army. Tell the soldiers that the general has invited them to watch the lantern festival, and then they can do whatever they want after it’s over!"
General Zhenguo is going to organize a large-scale Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. As soon as the news came out, the recruits under Mao Yuanyi were very happy. It was really good for them to have a decent festival in a foreign country. But the bandits from the overseas legion,
In particular, the Tatar eunuchs and the Mongolian cavalry regiment were not very interested. Although they also wanted to celebrate the festival, for them, instead of wasting time on singing and dancing parties, it was better to let them roam around freely and catch a few people who slipped through the net.
Take prisoners, and pick up a few Japanese pirate heads by the way.
Li Zicheng looked at Mao Yuanyi's troops who had gathered quickly, and his eyes were as slanderous as the Japanese pirates who had been hungry for ten days outside Nara City and heard that after the surrender, they had enough food and meat. He said to Zuo Liangyu and others beside him without emotion.
: "The regular army is the regular army. Look at these tall and thick men carrying such sophisticated equipment! The people under our brothers are really nothing compared to them!"
Mao Yuanyi glared at him fiercely and cursed: "Get the hell out of here, you're insulting me here. Looking at those bandits under your command, what do you think I'm thinking?"
Niu Jinxing still didn't know what Mao Yuanyi was planning? He quickly took over the topic and said, "Don't even think about it. Our subordinates are alien bandits, and they can't compete with your regular army!"
Mao Yuanyi laughed loudly: "You guy, you really spoke to my heart. If I hadn't taken this into consideration, I would have really wanted to snatch away all the bandits under your command, and fight with the overseas legions for the rest of their lives.
Compared to soldiers and bandits, the recruits I brought are just embroidered pillows!"
Niu Jinxing said proudly: "Brother Mao, you are indeed a good soldier in the regular army. But these new recruits have just joined the army after all. And our overseas army is composed of the demolition brigade and the elite Tatars from Liaodong. They have all fought on the battlefield.
Eighty percent of them are carrying dozens of lives on their bodies. So it’s useless for you to envy them. Such soldiers cannot be brought out by hard training alone. In my opinion, the quality of the brothers in the regular army is pretty good.
It’s just that he lacks a bit of murderous aura!”
Mao Yuanyi's eyes lit up, and she bowed respectfully and said: "I've learned a lesson! Brother Ju Ming's words made me suddenly enlightened. No wonder I always felt that these guys under me always disliked me when I was in Shaanxi! You are right. What they lack is
Murderous intent! But this thing can't be seen or caught, and you can't give it to them for nothing. Only by really dragging it to the battlefield and letting them fight between blood and fire can they see how cruel real war is.
, can you grow into a qualified warrior!"
"Now you know why I sent new troops from China when I was in Dading on the Japanese island, right?" Zhu Youcong said seriously: "To put it bluntly, strict training only allows the soldiers to master the survival of the battlefield.
Skills, but if you have never actually killed anyone, where does the murderous intent come from? How can an army without murderous intent be called the tiger and wolf army of my Ming Dynasty? How can the enemy not even dare to attack my Ming Dynasty?
Take a look?"[
When everyone thought of the cold expression that suddenly appeared on Zhu Youcong's face, they felt that it was even more biting than the cold winter wind outside Edo City. Li Zicheng bravely said: "As you wish, general, when this lantern festival is over,
Are we going to teach our brothers in the regular army how to kill people?"
"It's not about waiting for the lantern festival to end, but starting now! I want these new recruits who have become a little lazy because of the gradual stabilization of the Ming Dynasty to know that our peaceful and comfortable life in the Ming Dynasty is not just a matter of words, it must be done with their hands.
Go and strike down the butcher knife inside. Only by completely annihilating the enemy can their relatives live a good life of worry." Zhu Youcong has no knowledge. He will not play any conspiracy with others, so he can sleep peacefully.
The premise is that the Ming Dynasty has become powerful enough to eliminate any wexes that may appear at any time and anywhere. However, the new batch of recruits brought by Mao Yuanyi and Cao Bianjiao made him see the crisis. This was the first batch of soldiers recruited after pacifying Liaodong.
People have actually begun to appear who only think about their wives and children. It seems that the influence of Confucianism is too deep, and the Chinese nation is still too kind.
/
"Military order!" Now that the problem has been discovered, we must try to solve it. Zhu Youcong's approach is also very simple. Isn't the weakness of the people of the Ming Dynasty that they are too kind? Let them receive new training starting from massacre.
"The whole army has entered the fighting position, all artillery guns have taken off their gun jackets, and their loaded swords have been unsheathed! Get ready to massacre the city! I want to hold a Lantern Festival Lantern Festival belonging to my Ming Dynasty soldiers!"
As the Emperor's Sword in the hands of General Zhenguo of the Ming Dynasty was raised again, and as the bloody massacre order was officially issued, Zhu Youcong had to start squeezing the last remaining value of the Japanese pirates and use their efforts to forge a huge army for the Ming Dynasty.
Tiger and Wolf Division, no mercy is allowed in this army that advocates violence. Except for the people of Ming Dynasty, any enemy can be killed!
Hundreds of thousands of troops mobilized, began to carefully arrange and personally participated in a Lantern Festival performance that belonged to them. The fireworks in and around Edo Castle were extremely enchanting and eye-catching that night. The Japanese pirates used them to tear their hearts out this night.
The screams sent holiday blessings to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty... (To be continued...)
