Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1845 The sword points to Japan (twelve) to North Korea!
"Yang Nizhao of Pingbozhou" is a political explanation, and it will not be listed for the time being, but it is said that after the edict, even if there are private discussions among courtiers, they think that Pingding Bozhou should be rewarded with a title, and there are also discussions in the cabinet. Shi Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue are still alive , neither agrees, but Gao Yushi never expresses his opinion.

The next day, the news spread to the Supervisor of Rituals, and the emperor heard about it. In the afternoon, the imperial decree on merit was issued, and the imperial order was issued on the discussion in the court.

This day was Bingwu, and the scholar-officials of the university informed the officials in a pragmatic manner, and on behalf of the imperial edict, he expressed the cabinet's opinion, saying: "I look up to the emperor to reward the military merits, and to persuade later, the most righteous ministers and others want to praise them for a long time. If you can't get it, dare not just accept it. When you leave the cabinet today, you will have an open-minded meeting with the officials of the Ministry of War in the court room. They all say that you have made great achievements in spreading the land and expanding the territory. Reward.

However, we have searched through the old cases. For example, in the [-]th year of Xuande, Pingsong Pan Gong was promoted to the governor of Zuo Bing; Man Gong, governor Zeng Xingwuzhi was promoted to minister, and general Liu Xianzhi was promoted to governor Tongzhi.These are the most famous military exploits in Sichuan, and there is no one who has been named Marquis.

In recent years, if Li Chengliang was granted the title of Uncle Ning Yuan, it is because Liaodong Prisoner's Gong is different from Miao Man's Gong, and he obtained it after accumulating merits for decades. Two or three colleagues also.

Although the meritorious service of broadcasting is great today, but there is a governor, three governors, and five chief soldiers in each of the officials, all of whom have the same merit. If they are all worshiped, people will call it excessive;It's not as good as the original rewards, so that the giver and the recipient can feel at ease.

The ministers and others raised their hearts and proposed again and again, stealing that the civil servants dispatched the loyal governor as the leader, and the military ministers as the leader of the bloody battle between the banks.

Governor Song Liangzuo originally planned to add the crown prince Taibao, but now he plans to change it to Shaobao.

Liu Ting and Deng Zilong, the chief soldiers, originally planned to be the governor of the right, but now they are redesignated as the governor of the left, and the deputy Qianhu of Yuan Yin is redesignated as the commander;

Ma Kongying surrendered to the captives and stood up, Wu Guang and Li Yingxiang Wusheng rose up. The original plan was to be promoted, but now it is changed to Shiyinzhengqianhu;

Guo Zizhang, Jiang Duo, etc., are all added to the original plan. Husbands and civil servants are at least guaranteed to be the honor of the public and orphans. From the military position to the left and right governors, they can be called Hou Bozhiya. Adjacent to the lord's reverence.

This kind of grace is extremely outstanding. In recent years, except for the merit of destroying the Yuan Dynasty, the achievements of Liaodong, Ningxia, and North Korea have not been compared. It is enough to spread the history, praise the barbarians, and pass it on to the world. and also.

The ministers and others obtained the decree: Zhen Lanqing and others have reported and revised the votes, and the regulations for adding titles have not been prepared. Although the broadcasting achievements are great today and there are many governors and generals, it is difficult to be full of titles. Be respectful, loyal and prudent, and look up to the imperial court's excellent shirt to open up borders and expand bloody battles.

I know it, and I will do it as planned.

Qing and others are my assistants and prime ministers, praising them day and night, planning and dispatching, and writing with honor and hard work.If you plan to come and do it, you will show the martial arts of the celestial dynasty, and you must not be shy or evade. "

The remarks conveyed by Gao Yushi are actually divided into three parts. The first part is to express the cabinet's own attitude in the tone of the cabinet. It is analyzed that although the contribution to the pacification of Bozhou is great, but because too many ministers and generals participated, it is not like Li Chengliang. At that time, he was the only general and meritorious service, so it was not easy to compare, and he could not be knighted.

What's interesting here is that it didn't mention that after the Yuan Dynasty was cut off, Wen and Wu each received a noble title-in fact, this is because the importance of the Yuan Dynasty's work in Ming Dynasty is self-evident, and no one will compare it with other credits.

The second part is to publicize the attitude of submitting to the emperor after the cabinet revised the bill, which is equivalent to notifying the subordinates of the report originally submitted to the leader. The content is simply that the reward after the revision is one level higher than the original reward. .

The last third part is the emperor's reply. However, since the imperial decree has not been officially issued, Gao Yushi can only use "the minister waits for the decree" to convey the oral decree.

In simple terms, this oral decree means that the emperor approves all of them, and at the same time, he also requires the cabinet ministers to vote for their own rewards, and they are not allowed to refuse.

This last item seems a bit inexplicable, but it is actually consistent in Daming. After all, the front line has won a big victory, and the cabinet always has the merits of planning and scheduling.

Of course, in fact, this battle of Bozhou pacification is actually highly pragmatic and arbitrary, which is well known in the world, and the rest of the cabinet ministers are considered to be in his favor.However, no matter whether you are blessed or not, the rewards are still not bad. It is best to have a bowl of water, otherwise there may be some unpleasantness.

Gao Yushi himself never strives for merit, and he didn't say a word when the cabinet was discussing, so all the cabinet elders were modest, and in the end the vote was just that each of them had one son, Jin Yiwei, and a thousand households.

When the proposal was drafted to the emperor, it was rejected without any surprise, saying that the reward was too light, and asked the cabinet to re-draft.So I made another draft, still painless, and promoted Enyin's son, Jin Yiwei Zhengqianhu, to the commanding officer, but was rejected again, and finally added to the commanding envoy.

After this matter was over, the imperial court had nothing serious to do for a while. After re-reading to launch a new round of offensive against Japanese pirates in North Korea, Gao Wushi asked Liu Ting to transfer his Sichuan army to Shandong to prepare for the expedition.

However, there was a slight accident in this incident. Liu Ting quickly replied that his Sichuan Army suffered a lot of casualties due to the Battle of Bozhou, and that it is currently not recovering from the wounded, and the part suitable for immediate expedition is only about 1. The 1 people were transferred to Shandong, or another arrangement was made.

In terms of the combat power of Liu Ting's headquarters, 1 people is not a small number, but high-level combat belongs to Han Xinxin. The more soldiers the better, especially when he went to North Korea this time, his more consideration was not how to defeat the Japanese army, but how to deter them. North Korea has completed its political intention of forcing North Korea to take the initiative to attach itself, so this force is really not enough.

Soon Liu Ting received a reply from Gao Yushi, asking him to count the slightly injured in his unit and bring [-] to his headquarters, and take the Yangtze River waterway on the way, so that the slightly injured soldiers can recuperate and recover along the way.

At the same time, he was allowed to select [-] chieftain soldiers and horses in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi.

Liu Ting then began to recruit chieftain soldiers and horses from the four southwestern provinces, including Ma Qiancheng who performed well in the Battle of Pingbo, and 3000 Shi Jiebai soldiers under Qin Liangyu and his wife.

Gao Yushi went out in a leisurely manner, and when he arrived in Shandong, Liu Ting had already arrived, with 2 Han and local soldiers under his command, and nearly [-] Chen Lin's navy troops in their respective positions, just waiting for the swearing-in to set sail.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly in Laizhou, and there was no cloud in the sky. A total of about 20 troops from the two armies of the Ming Dynasty and the Fleet of the Shanghai Trade Alliance held a military parade and a swearing-in meeting. Nearly [-] (including the Magui side who traveled by land), the purpose is to completely wipe out the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop, and require all armies to strictly enforce military discipline, boost morale, and use the most high-spirited fighting spirit and the fastest fighting method to show the Ming army's prestige.

After all, he was the ever-victorious commander in the minds of the Ming army. Although the highly pragmatic mobilization was not impassioned, the [-] troops were indeed fighting like a rainbow.The accompanying North Korean liaison officer was surprised and delighted to see it—in fact, it may have been both joy and surprise.

There is no need to explain the joy, such a heavenly army came to North Korea, and the invincible number one in the world, Gao Wushi, personally commanded it. There should be no suspense to wipe out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop; the surprise is that Ming used such a huge force to go to North Korea. , If you have any thoughts about North Korea after defeating the Japanese pirates, wouldn't North Korea... have no resistance at all?

In fact, the liaison officer was shocked too early, and when the land oath was completed and the whole army boarded the ship and went to sea, his shock became even more extreme.

The fleet of the Ming Dynasty sailing to sea was divided into two teams, the front team was the official Korean aid navy of the Ming army, commanded by Chen Lin, the admiral of the Korean aid fleet, the fleet was extremely large, with a total of about 900 warships.Among them, there are about [-] big blessing ships, about [-] medium-sized blessing ships, and the rest are small and medium-sized warships such as centipede ships. The whole army has about [-] people.

Although compared with the rear fleet, this fleet is actually only superior in that it has more ships, and it is quite inferior in terms of power, but in the eyes of the North Korean liaison officer, it is also surprisingly powerful-the North Korean navy has never fought such a rich battle.As for the middle army and the actual rear fleet of the North Korean fleet, it is even more difficult to look up.

This highly pragmatic maritime team is composed entirely of ships from the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance, including one second-tier battleship, two third-tier battleships, four first-tier cruisers, six second-tier cruisers, and 46 armed transport ships, a total of sixty Among them, there are as many as [-] professional warships that are "as tall as Mount Tai" in the eyes of North Korean liaison officers.

You must know that Jinghua-style armed transport ships are called "giant ships" in the Japanese and North Korean navies and naval divisions. Are these Jinghua-style professional warships still worth talking about?

To make the simplest tonnage comparison: each armed transport ship is 1600 materials, the second-level cruiser is 2000 materials, the first-level cruiser is 2400 materials, the third-level battleship is 3200 materials, and the second-level as a high-level practical ship and fleet flagship The battleship "Dongchang", it is as high as 4000 materials!
Moreover, the amount of guns carried by the "super giant ships" of this rear team is even more amazing. In contrast, armed transport ships have open-air deck guns, with 28 artillery pieces of various types, while first-tier cruisers and third-tier battleships have double-deck guns. The deck guns have 52 and 72 guns respectively. The flagship "Dongchang" has three deck guns, and the whole ship has up to 88 cannons!
In the eyes of the North Korean liaison officer, this super giant ship is really like "Mount Tai", and it is covered with dark muzzles, as many as a hedgehog with a giant beast's body.

The liaison officer was fortunate enough to be accompanied by the Dongchang. After boarding the ship, he learned that the cost of the ship was as high as nearly 50 taels of silver. , unless Jinghua wants to sell it outside, it can't be so expensive.

Inside Jinghua, the cost of a second-class battleship is 35 taels of silver, and it includes artillery, base gunpowder, and personnel training.

Tell him that this warship costs 50 taels, of course it is for the purpose of deterrence: I am so powerful in Ming Dynasty, this warship is probably going to be able to beat your entire North Korean Navy army!So you have to be obedient and obedient in the future, you know?

When Gao Yushi led the navy to set off, the Ming Army Division on the North Korean side had already received Gao Yushi's military order, and Ma Gui personally led the army to start southward from Pyongyang.However, Magui still left 2 people to sit in Pyongyang, nominally defending the Korean royal family, so as not to scare the royal family again.

Having said that, as for the real reason, anyway, the spirit that Ma Gui learned from Gao Yushixin is roughly this: to prevent the North Koreans from talking.

Because of the lessons learned by Li Rusong last time, Magui was very cautious from the beginning when he dispatched troops this time. He didn't move himself, but ordered in advance to wait for Nurhachi, who was in the middle and upper reaches of the Yalu River, to launch an offensive in the northeast of North Korea. After waiting for three days, Magui Only then did the main force of the West Road army under personal leadership begin to officially move south.

Nurhachi was actually very cautious in deploying troops. Judging from the location of the Jurchen coalition he led, it was closer to Xianxing, but when he dispatched troops, he attacked Chongjin first.

From a tactical point of view, attacking Hamhung first can actually cut off the connection between Chongjin and the interior of North Korea. In other words, if Hamhung is captured, Chongjin will become an isolated city—if it is not counted by sea.But Nurhachi did not choose this way, but first attacked Chongjin, which is located in the most northeast region, which meant that he had to pull out cities one by one.

To a certain extent, this can avoid being flanked by the Chongjin Japanese army when attacking Hamhung, but at the same time it also means that he has to fight consecutive siege battles.As we all know, the Jurchen ministries basically have no firearms, and siege warfare is actually their weakness. In the original history, Nurhachi won the Liaodong cities basically not by forcible siege. The troops failed and abandoned the city to flee.

Nurhachi should of course be aware of this weakness, why he chose this way is still unknown.In short, after receiving Magui's military order, the Jurchen coalition immediately rushed out of Huishan, crossed the Gaima Plateau, and rushed to Chongjin.

And Magui's troops are divided into two groups, one goes directly south to take Huangzhou and Haizhou; the other goes a little east, first seizes Gushan, and then continues eastward to Yuanshan.

According to his posture of dispatching troops, it should be to cut off the northern half of North Korea. If he succeeds, and considering that Nurhachi may take Chongjin, then the Japanese army in Hamxing will be trapped in the isolated city and become a force separated from the main force. Japanese army heavy group.

In other words, Magui seems to mean that after drawing out a line of defense in the south, he will first concentrate his forces to eat the Japanese army in Hamhung and clear the entire northern part of Korea.

Maybe he was thinking from a strategic level, or maybe he just hoped that when Gao Yushi arrived in North Korea, he would give Hou Ye a big victory as a meeting gift.
