Chapter 443 Eastern Expedition!Drive away wolves!
Shiwei August.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Yingtian City is full of lanterns, and the whole country is peaceful. Water transportation, sea transportation, and land transportation support this prosperous metropolis.

Now every festival in Yingtian City is an unforgettable event.Products from all over the world were shipped into the capital, filling the daily operation of the city of emperors.

The current Yingtian City can be said to be the place with the most types of goods in the world.Gold and silver artifacts as far away as the Europa continent, as well as complicated and mysterious objects, are filled in the streets and alleys of Yingtian City.

On the Longwan Wharf outside the west city, every day is full of boats for thousands of miles, with hundreds of boats competing for the current, and thousands of sails racing on the river, overcoming the wall like clouds.Near the trestle bridges stretching into the river, there are row upon row of merchant ships that have dropped their anchors.

Countless goods passed through the Outer Jinchuan Gate, and entered Yingtian City through Jinchuan Gate, Zhongfu Gate, and Yifeng Gate.It's just that there are so many goods now that Yingtian City's West City, which was originally empty and barren, now has many more warehouses besides the barracks.

And at the outer Jinchuanmen Longwan Wharf to the east, to the direction of Shangyuanmen.

Rumor has it that in order to ease the pressure on Longwan Wharf and unblock the traffic in the West City, Ying Tianfu intends to dig a larger wharf and cargo storage area outside the Shangyuan Gate.

According to the intention of the newly appointed magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, the scale of Shangyuanmen Wharf will be as large as ten Longwan Wharfs.

The entire northwest area of ​​Xuanwu Lake will become a freight distribution center, handling massive amounts of goods every day, supplying the vitality of Yingtian City, and delivering a steady stream of nutrition to the world.

He even wanted to re-dug a river from Shangyuanmen to Xuanwu Lake. According to the newly promoted Lord Yingtian Prefecture, the original river was too narrow, so that the court's navy in Xuanwu Lake performed like a naughty boy. Taking a bath to play in the water is average.

And this new prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, who came from his heart and returned to Beijing from Jiaozhi Road to report on his work with the former Jiaozhi Taoist envoy.Once his memorial was reported to Wenyuan Pavilion, it was approved almost without any doubts.

Therefore, as Ying Tianfu's parental official, the magistrate, began to shoulder the days of digging wasteland and digging rivers with explosives.

today.

Ying Tianfu was notified early on, demanding that the entire area from Jinchuan Gate to Outer Jinchuan Gate be sealed off, Longwan Wharf be blocked, and all official, commercial, and civilian ships on the pier be cleared.

When Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, heard the news early in the morning, he was furious.

At this time, it was just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and countless goods were waiting to be transported into the city at the wharf. Now the imperial court actually wanted to block the entire Longwan Wharf for a whole day, and the impact caused was incalculable to Ying Tianfu.

"Fu Zun, this order was issued from the cabinet, and we dare not refuse to accept it. Longwan Wharf is closed, and there is Dongshuiguan Wharf on the south side of the city that can be used temporarily. It is only a day's work. delay."

Ying Tianfu's pusher explained carefully, to appease the anger of his own family's lord.

Zou Xueyu was not as old as Tuiguan, but he looked more majestic. Just turning his neck made the officials in the surrounding government offices bow their heads.

"What are you going to do today?"

The cabinet's order is unquestionable, Zou Xueyu's eyes flickered, and he asked why the Longwan Wharf was blocked and cleared today.

The pusher stepped forward with his head lowered, and said in a low voice, "Master Hui, the soldiers and horses that the imperial court marched to the east set out from the pier today. His Royal Highness, the Emperor Taisun, personally set up an altar to point out generals to serve as a powerful force for the army. .”

"Eastern Expedition?" Zou Xueyu frowned visibly.

The push officer sighed helplessly, as long as he lowered his head, he could see the mud on the legs of his lord.

These days, due to the construction of the Shangyuanmen Wharf and the excavation of a wider river channel from the Shangyuanmen Wharf to Xuanwu Lake, the majestic prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, who is from the third rank and wears a big red robe, actually stays in that large area all day. Describe the place, but never cared about the things above the court.

Zou Xueyu stopped in his tracks, stood on the street and looked at the noisy crowd around him. These were all the people under his prefect of Yingtian Prefecture.

The Tuiguan and the rest of the officials didn't know what the Fuzun was going to do.

And Zou Xueyu had already raised his legs, stomped heavily on the ground a few times, shaking off a large piece of mud, and then raised his head to look at the pushing officer: "How is it? Did it ever hinder the official appearance? Did it offend His Highness? "

The Tuiguan sighed helplessly: "Fu Zun, you can just go to the pier, no matter who your Highness is, I will not blame Fu Zun you."

The official Tui said so, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

Today is the day when the imperial court's army marches eastward, and the emperor's grandson will set up an altar at Longwan Wharf to cheer for the army.At that time, the scene will definitely be dominated by the meritorious military generals from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and then the officials from the six departments and five temples.

Even the magistrate of Gyeonggi, whose master is from the third rank, is not enough to look at in such a scene.

Zou Xueyu nodded and continued to rush all the way to Longwan Wharf outside Jinchuan Gate.

Before he passed the Wai Jinchuan Gate, he waved his finger to the side: "On both sides of this street, you are not allowed to throw away sundries at will, and you are not allowed to park at random to obstruct traffic. We will build a public house here later to maintain order here."

The Tui Guan became more and more helpless, and now the Fu Zun really wanted to get out.

But no one dared to speak out against it, no one in Yingtian Mansion knew that the mansion honored the old man Xiaogaoge in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Money can't be spent indiscriminately. The officials who followed Mr. Xiao Gaoge back from Jiaozhi Road were all able to make money and count, and no one could get money.But these superiors can always find the right money at the right time to subsidize everyone in the Yamen.

These are people with great abilities.

The pusher followed Zou Xueyu, waved to the clerk beside him, and signaled the other party to record the relevant opinions of Mr. Fu Zun about the security management of the street behind Jinchuan Gate outside Yingtian City.

A group of people rushed to the pier one after another.

When Zou Xueyu rushed out of the city gate, a huge Longwan Wharf appeared in front of him, which made him feel strange.

In the dock area outside the entire city gate, countless colorful flags and ribbons fluttered against the river wind.

Treasure ships and warships at the same height as Yingtian City docked quietly on the trestle bridge, but slowly rose and fell with the flow of the river.

Crowds of Shangzhiqin military guards divided the area of ​​the wharf, but in the surrounding area and high places, there were countless people and merchants watching the court officials and the officers and soldiers who were ready to go on the wharf.

Similarly, those ships that were driven away from the pier also anchored their ships upstream, and the crew and merchants would climb to the highest point on the ship and look at everything on the pier.

Under the city gate, on a simple high platform built to worship the general, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of the people for the first time.

The silent position said it all.

Zhu Yunxi stood in front of an altar with tiger charms and treasured swords. Behind him were Ren Hengtai and Xu Yungong, followed by Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi.

As for Zhai Shan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yu Xin, Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Jun, Minister of Industry, and Ru Yu, Minister of Military Affairs, who finally came out of the imperial hospital standing up, they were all half a step behind the four in front.

Further down are the other officials of the six departments, five temples and three law departments.

The meritorious military generals of the dynasty under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did not appear on the platform of worship today, because no matter whether they are needed in the Eastern Expedition, all the meritorious generals in Beijing today are dressed in battle and lined up in front of the platform of worship.

Behind the meritorious generals, there are not many martial arts students who uniformly wear the exclusive training robes for martial arts students in the lecture hall.On the left and right sides and the rear are the elite officers and soldiers of the Beijing Army under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Huben Division of the Shangzhiqin Army Guard.

The generals wore the armor that had followed them for more than 30 years, and carried the blood-drinking sword, full of fierce fighting spirit.

The eyes of the officers and soldiers around were emitting murderous aura all the time, as well as yearning for military achievements deep in their pupils.

The people who appeared on the pier today were all members of the Eastern Expedition selected by the Metropolitan Government through layers of selection.

A total of 2 people will be used as the first batch of reinforcements to sail east to conquer the country of Wa.

Under the command of Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Eastern Expedition, as the commander of the navy battalion of the Eastern Expedition Army, and the deputy commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, he went to the country of Wa.

As for the Eastern Expedition Army, it was renamed from the original Zhenwa Army. Cao Guogong Li Jinglong not surprisingly won the position of General Zhengdong and Chief Governor of the Eastern Expedition Army in the court, and he was in charge of the entire Eastern Expedition. matter.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai held the eloquent edict of the Eastern Expedition in his hand, and with the help of several loudspeakers, he shouted to the soldiers on the entire pier, conveying the will of the emperor and the court.

The decree is more to explain the procedural justice of the Ming Dynasty's eastern conquest of the Wa Kingdom, and the serious crimes of the Wa Kingdom, so that the Ming Dynasty had to send troops to fight in order to maintain the peace of this beautiful world again.

After Ren Hengtai finished reading the beautifully worded edict, he asked Xie Jin who was beside him in a low voice: "Whoever wrote this edict is good."

Xie Jin turned his head and assistant away, hummed and said in a low voice, "I asked the governor of the Tongzheng Shiyamen to write it."

Ren Hengtai was stunned for a moment, and then stopped discussing this with Xie Jin, but rolled up the imperial decree and carefully placed it on the altar behind Zhu Yunxi.

Finally came behind Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, this point will be used to cheer and strengthen the morale of the army."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes froze for a moment.

The colorful flags in front of him seemed to form a dreamy scene in front of his eyes.

In the depths of the picture, there are countless familiar but increasingly unfamiliar things.

When the voice of the chief minister of the cabinet reached his ears, he just woke up from the dream.

Looking at the ready-to-go army gathered in front of him, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but chuckled. As time went by, the number of times he saw those dreamy scenes became less and less.

He turned around and took the tiger talisman and the precious sword on the altar with his left hand and right hand respectively, and turned around to stand in front of the altar.

"Eastern Expedition! Lonely King Hou Er!"

King's promise.

Just one sentence ignited all the soldiers in an instant, and there was no need for more cheering words to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Zhu Shou, the marquis of the boat, shook off his battle robe from the stage, and the wind blew his robe, making him look like an undefeated god of war, from the stage to the stage.

puff.

Zhu Shou clasped his fists in both hands, landed on one knee, and knelt heavily on the stage of worshiping the general, in front of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

"I hope you will win every battle!"

"I hope you will return in triumph!"

"I hope you are safe and sound!"

Zhu Yunxi extended his highest blessings, and then sent the tiger talisman and treasured sword in his hands to Zhu Shou's raised hands that had been prepared for a long time.

woo woo woo...

dong dong dong...

On the entire outer Jinchuan Gate city wall, countless horns and war drums sounded at the same time.

A cannon with a thick mouth was assumed to be on the shore, venting Daming's high-spirited and invincible fighting spirit toward the sky.

Cannons roared.

The officers and soldiers began to board the ship.

The first to board the ship were the officers and soldiers selected by the guards of the Beijing Army, then the men and horses who went directly to the military guards, and finally the generals at all levels in the army and those hundreds of graduates who were about to graduate, but were sent to The samurai of the lecture hall on the front line of the Japanese country.

Finally, Zhu Shou boarded the largest flagship warship.

A bright red shirt floated into people's sight from the bow of the ship.

The navy warship docked on the trestle bridge loosened the fixed rope and took out the sinking anchor.

A series of long horns sounded from the warships, echoing the sound of horns, drums, and artillery on the pier.

When the fleet sailed slowly towards the center of the river, the people around the pier burst into cheers, and everyone was sending their purest blessings and expectations to the army on the Eastern Expedition.

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries on the stage of worshiping the general.

"Everyone..."

Taisun slowly called out, causing all the people present to bow and bow in unison.

Zhu Yunxi patted the altar with his palm lightly: "I think the so-called aspiration of the people is what I see at this moment. Everyone, what do you think?"

Officials say yes.

Sure enough, Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture who was squeezed in the back, raised his head on tiptoe and looked at the emperor's grandson in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

When he was in Jiaozhi Dao, he met His Highness Taisun. At that time, Taisun was still leading the charge, but now he has grown to the point where he can destroy a domain with a wave of his hand.

Zhu Yunxie smiled, and tapped his knuckles on the altar three times: "If that's the case, let's all go away. Put your mind on the government, the New Deal, and the Eastern Expedition. The Ming Dynasty can crown meritorious soldiers as kings, or let you Waiting to rest with the country."

……

boom!
Jiang Zuojian's latest cannon burst into Li Jinglong's ears with a huge roar and flames, and with thick gunpowder smoke, he and Tie Xuan were instantly enveloped.

"Bah bah bah!"

Li Jinglong spat one after another, then pressed his palm on the handle of the knife at his waist, and looked at the two armies fighting at the foot of the mountain in front of him.

"Tell the Yoshino family to send another 5000 people to the top. If they don't enter the city today, the artillery fire from the Ming army will fall on them!"

Tie Xuan nodded silently, and waved to the herald in front of the formation to pass on the general's order.

This is a strategy to drive away wolves and tigers.

Use the lives of the Yoshino family in the Southern Dynasty to maximize the consumption of the Ashikaga family in the Northern Dynasty.

A clear conspiracy.

If the Yoshino family honestly used their lives to charge the battle, then Daming would always be their most solid ally.If the Yoshino family is disobedient, the Ming army, who has been behind the front line, will become the buryer of the Yoshino family.

"Tell them again that as long as they can rush under the city wall, we can break through the city wall and allow the Yoshino family to occupy the city alone for three days for rest."

Li Jinglong added, looking at the city under the hillside with a population of only [-] to [-].

Following these words, the people in this city will never leave this city again.
