The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 777 The Pride of the Ming People (for Subscription)
The people of Ming Dynasty are very proud now, and they basically adopt a discriminatory attitude towards all the foreign barbarians.

Although the Japanese are similar to the Han in appearance, they are not those Xiyi with red hair and green eyes who look like little ghosts.

But due to the flawed height, it is also difficult to be looked up to.

In order to gain the respect of the people of Ming Dynasty, this Japanese was very generous.

The newspaper only needed five copper coins, but he gave one silver dollar directly, and said that there was no need to change it!
It seems to be saying, look, I am rich, richer than you ordinary people of Ming Dynasty, you shouldn't look down on me!

However, facing the generosity of this Japanese customer, the newspaper boy said with reason.

"Sir, a newspaper only costs five coppers!"

"I can't ask for the extra money!"

Then, the newspaper boy was very serious and found money for the Japanese man in front of him.

If you buy a newspaper with a silver dollar and say that you don't need to look for it is the people of Daming, the newspaper boy will just say thank you, master, and then leave with gratitude.

In order to protect themselves, the remaining nobles had no choice but to gather troops in Changdu City and prepare to fight to the death with the invading Ming army.

In order to assemble the [-] army and ensure that the people of the [-] army can eat horses and chew without any problems, these tribes near the border of Ming Dynasty are about to empty out their families.

The Ming army marched into the plateau in a mighty manner, destroying cities and villages wherever they passed. In just ten months, they broke through the camps of dozens of tribes one after another.

The people of Daming now have similar thoughts!

No matter how destitute I am, I am still a poor man of Ming Dynasty, and I have a household registration of Ming Dynasty, but I am superior to you foreigners. I will never accept charity from barbarians like you!
Seeing this, the Japanese people who came to buy newspapers stopped demanding, and ran back to Longyi Yoshida with newspapers and copper coins in change.

But politically, that would be dead wrong.

"The disparity in military strength is nearly ten times. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult!"

When Huo Rongfang heard Zhu Hongyu's words, he immediately sat upright, waiting for the emperor's follow-up.

The entire border near the Han area was basically turned upside down by the Ming army.

The adjutant heard this and asked.

Among them are Han Chinese, Tibetans, and many Qiang and Mongols. The ethnic composition is a bit complicated, but the fighting power is not to say that it is absolutely strong enough!

Facing the imperial court's military order, Li Guangyuan would definitely not discount it and strictly implement it!
……

Teams of elite cavalry from the Ming army scattered on the grasslands are gathering towards the camp by the Gyatso Lake.

As he kept flipping through the newspaper, the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.

"No, the enemy does have 7 people, but those 7 people are not soldiers, but [-] herdsmen and [-] serfs."

The Ming army's elite cavalry also had to consider tactics and so on. Those servants just rushed and finished, and didn't care about anything else.

The third year of the Ming Dynasty, April [-]th!

2 cavalry, the number of soldiers alone is [-], and the horses are counted as one man with two horses, that is [-] horses.

The combat effectiveness of these servants is relatively poor, but they are quite brave in combat!
Sometimes, it is more fierce than the fine cavalry of the Ming army!

"It's still a mixture of walking and riding!"

In a hurry, these so-called nobles couldn't gather any elite soldiers at all.

And the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty is converging towards Nanjing. If you round it up, isn't it that Nanjing is siphoning the world?
So, we can see how prosperous Nanjing is now!

Plateau, outside Qamdo city!
Under the call of the tribal nobles and monks, a large group of plateau cavalry gathered in Changdu.

While providing Nanjing with a strong city defense, it also greatly restricted Nanjing's urban development.

The so-called fine cavalry refers to the well-equipped and well-trained elite soldiers of the Ming army.

What the adjutant said was correct from a military point of view.

Hearing this, the expression on Yoshida Takayoshi's face kept changing.

"General, according to the investigation by sentry cavalry, there are about [-] enemies coming this time!"

Just like in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, if the beggars in Chang'an received alms from the Hu people, not only would they not accept it, but they would think that the other party was humiliating themselves and would get angry.

But if you look at it from another angle, this thing is really the best weapon for harvesting wealth.

"Follow the instructions. Since the court has instructed us to verify the effectiveness of the new weapons and new tactics through actual combat, it means that the problem is not serious!"

"General, there are now seven thousand elite cavalry in our barracks, and more than twenty thousand servants accompanying them in battle."

The so-called servants were actually serfs rescued by the Ming army.

Don't demolish it, the city wall is really in the way!

But for all of this, the premise is that he can see the Son of Heaven!
Otherwise, everything is in vain!
The Ming official in charge of the reception just shook his head and said.

In today's Nanjing city, with the continuous economic development after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and the unprecedented prosperity of industry and commerce, Nanjing city has already become somewhat urbanized.

All Yoshida Takayoshi can do now is to wait for the Ming Emperor to receive him and complete the envoy mission entrusted to him by His Excellency the General.

He wanted to ask Daming for help, to ask Daming to send troops, and to join forces with Daming to wipe out the Qing bandits who invaded Japan.

My heart is full of helplessness!

Huo Rongfang, Minister of the Construction Department of the Ming Dynasty, came to Zhu Hongyu and reported to Zhu Hongyu.

"By the way, how about the new batch of weapons brought by the imperial court from Nanjing, have they been installed for the brothers?"

"Perhaps it's time for the imperial court to expand the city of Nanjing!"

Li Guangyuan shook his head and said.

"The envoy waits patiently for the notification!"

In addition, there are [-] infantry, as well as the civilian men needed by the army, and the pack horses needed to escort the army's food and grass, etc. The number is simply incalculable.

"The expansion of Nanjing City is imminent, but the biggest obstacle to expansion is the city wall of Nanjing City."

As we all know, in this era, due to Ming's monopoly position in commodities in the East-West trade, nearly half of the world's annual gold and silver production flowed into Ming.

Zhu Hongyu flipped through the Nanjing city expansion plan report submitted by the Ministry of Construction, and after pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu asked.

The adjutant stood up and clasped his fists.

Of course, these [-] troops are not elites!
To put it bluntly, cavalry are herdsmen who can ride horses and shoot arrows, and infantry are serfs who have been issued weapons.

"This is the Daming Daily, the court's propaganda mouthpiece. The content on it is only published after going through layers of review by the court's Propaganda Department. It can be guaranteed to be absolutely correct."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Li Guangyuan asked.

It's not that the adjutant is afraid to accept new things, it's just a matter of military affairs, and taking risks is really undesirable.

"If faced with such a mob of enemies, I still have to ask the imperial court for help, this general can't afford to lose this man!"

After these serfs were rescued by the Ming army, many of them spontaneously organized to fight with the Ming army to rescue more enslaved compatriots.

Or after the Ming army defeated the enemy, they could help pursue them.

Just when the nobles were preparing to assemble their troops, the Ming army also received the news.

It sounds like a lot, but the combat effectiveness is a question mark.

At the same time, on the endless plateau, the Ming army is marching!

With the orders sent by the imperial court, where is the room for the subordinates to bargain?
Just do things honestly according to the orders given by the court!

"The experimental results over there are definitely not bad, otherwise we wouldn't let us go to the battlefield to test new weapons."

Standing in front of a map, Li Guangyuan looked at the distribution of troops between the enemy and us on the map without blinking, squinting his eyes, and casually asked his adjutant.

Now, looking at the battle reports published in the "Daming Daily", Yoshida Takayoshi felt a chill behind him.

"There are still four or five elite cavalry who have yet to return to the camp!"

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Yoshida Takayoshi asked the Ming officials beside him.

"The imperial court must have done experiments!"

It is no secret that the nobles on the plateau have assembled a large number of troops in Qamdo.

Yoshida Takayoshi seemed to have grasped the last straw, looked at the Ming officials at the side, and asked earnestly in his voice.

"My lord, I don't know when I can have an audience with the Son of Heaven?"

The Nanjing City Wall has a radius of more than 100 li, and it is surrounded by mountains and mountains, enclosing the entire city of Nanjing.

A large number of people converged, making Nanjing's population capacity reach the upper limit.

"But this is the first time these new weapons have been used on the battlefield. I'm afraid the effect is hard to say. Is it rash for us to change the equipment for the brothers now?"

Hearing this, Yoshida Takayoshi sighed heavily.

The decisive battle on the plateau is about to start!
At this time, the city of Nanjing is still a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

"of course it's true!"

Let’s tear it down, Nanjing City is the capital of Ming Dynasty, the residence of the emperor, without city walls, in case something happens, who can afford this responsibility?
Therefore, in the plan submitted to the emperor, the Ministry of Construction wisely did not mention what to do with the Nanjing City Wall.

If you really expect those servants to fight the main force, something will happen.

"It's just a mob, what fighting power can it have?"

……

Yoshida Takayoshi nodded slightly, took the newspaper, and then flipped through it.

A large number of sentry cavalry were scattered all around, while covering the battlefield, they tried to find the position of the Ming army and seek a decisive battle with the Ming army.

Then, the Ming army also began to gather troops, preparing for a decisive battle with the [-] cavalry that the plateau nobles had managed to gather together.

The Qing invaders attacked Japan, which he and even the shogunate could never have imagined.

I just want the emperor to come up with this idea himself!

Nearly [-] cavalry and [-] infantry gathered together, and the momentum was very huge!

"How about it, how many troops are there in our military camp now?"

"The troops are almost ready, and the decisive battle is about to begin!"

A large number of nobles were killed, and serfs were taken hostage by the Ming army.

"I don't even know!"

It can only be prepared to take advantage of the limited strength of the Ming army on the plateau and prepare to win by quantity.

Li Guangyuan nodded when he heard this.

"Your Excellency, is the information in this newspaper true?"

With [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, it was a heavy burden for the Central Plains Dynasty to gather such a large army at one go, let alone the bitterly cold plateau.

In his opinion, those servants are at most playing the role of waving the flag.

Some were sent to Han for resettlement, while others fought with the Ming army.

While speaking, the Japanese presented the newspaper to Longyi Yoshida with both hands.

What's more, he, Li Guangyuan, is now Daming's uncle, and his nephew is the prince of Daming, so his identity is even more sensitive.

"very good!"

Under the siphon effect of the big city, the elite talents and capital wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty converged towards the city of Nanjing!
It is even an exaggeration to say that the current Nanjing city is siphoning the whole world.

Obviously, Li Guangyuan's adjutant did not take the combat effectiveness of those servants seriously.

"Your Excellency, I bought the newspaper!"

"General, the imperial court has sent a total of [-] shotguns, [-] revolvers, and [-] short-barreled cavalry guns. They have been issued according to the number of combat achievements made during this period of time, and they are issued to the soldiers with outstanding military achievements. down."

However, this is also impossible!

In the eyes of the people at the bottom, real estate is the root of all evil, and the best house is the price of cabbage.

……

If possible, ask Daming for help...

"Furthermore, the imperial court's military orders are not to be questioned, so there is no room for bargaining, just follow the orders!"

"Which other soldiers and horses have not entered the camp?"

Moreover, since the Han people accounted for the majority in the army, and Daming controlled the family members of these people, despite the complex ethnic composition of these elite cavalry, their loyalty to Daming could be guaranteed.

Of course, the reason for this is not that the Ming army was afraid of fighting, but because the servants were disorderly.

As a result of the soaring housing prices in Nanjing City, Zhu Hongyu has already started to prepare for the expansion of Nanjing City, and has started a heinous real estate business.

Li Guangyuan shook his head when he heard the words.

"And there are only [-] people in our army who are worthy of battle, and even if the remaining four or five battalion leaders return to the camp in time, there are only more than [-]."

The Ming officials on the side heard the words and said with a very serious face.

However, if it's a foreigner who does this, it's different!
He won't want the extra money!

The adjutant spoke.

The news published in this newspaper is really too terrifying!

But no matter how anxious he is to get angry, because of the mountains and the sea, he can't affect the current evolution of the war situation in Japan.

A total of [-] troops assembled in Qamdo, and immediately headed east.

Whether the city wall should be demolished or not, the Ministry of Construction can't make up its mind!

After all, how can earning money from selling land be as fast as collecting taxes seriously?
"Your Majesty, the population capacity of Nanjing City has reached its limit, and many people have even begun to sleep on the streets and become homeless."

Now that Nanjing City is going to be expanded, the first problem to be faced is the city wall of Nanjing City.

"I don't know if I want to ask Han for help?"

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while before speaking.

"Now that Nanjing's city wall has become the biggest obstacle to the development of Nanjing City, let's tear it down!"

Huo Rongfang asked after hearing the words.

"Your Majesty, after the expansion of Nanjing City is completed, do you want to rebuild the Nanjing City Wall?"
