I'm really not doing business

Chapter 617: Ancient and modern wars, pig tactics 1 are successfully used by people again

Chapter 617: In ancient and modern wars, pig tactics have been successfully used by people again and again
Kuki Yoshitaka was not an upper class person, but a lower class person. Even though he had fought for years and won every battle, he still could not get the recognition of the upper class. His army was called the Kumano Pirates, and Kuki Yoshitaka was also called the pirate daimyo. Whether in Japan or in Korea, "thief" was an insult.

The Seventeen Articles between the Ming Dynasty and the Azuchi Shogunate were originally called the "Treaty for the Suppression of Piracy."

Xu Wei had a good understanding of the culture of Japan, so Kuki Yoshitaka would never betray Oda Nobunaga, just like those courtesans who would never dare to disobey their master no matter what, because in order to rely on their master to climb into the upper class, they would be willing to become a concubine or a servant in the mansion.

Japan is such a contradiction. On the one hand, it has a strict hierarchy from top to bottom, while on the other hand, there is widespread rebellion of the lower classes and tragedies of lone heroes that are constantly being staged and then talked about with relish.

This is a kind of culture that is difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty to understand. For example, Wan Shihe, as the leader of the Imperial Party, is scolded as a flatterer every day. At certain times, he will choose to go against His Majesty's wishes and express his own views. This time, regarding the reincarnation of Zhenwu Emperor, Wan Shihe clearly expressed his opposition in the Wenhua Hall, and His Majesty did not intend to blame Wan Shihe.

This is the social consensus and public order and good customs.

The Ming Dynasty had an extremely violent way of expressing its understanding of rank and class: the bones of officials and nobles were trampled on the streets, and the heads of the powerful and wealthy were hung at the gates.

History is created by the people. To be responsible for history is to be responsible for the people. This is the historical lesson of the Central Plains and also the greatest historical consensus.

But it is not the case in Japan and the West. In these barbaric places, the biggest consensus is to enter the upper class. For the sake of the word "upper class", everything can be given up.

"Kuki Yoshitaka was unable to break away from Oda Nobunaga and continue to rise to the upper class. Hashiba Hideyoshi was similar. Their situations were completely different from Mori Terumoto and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Mori Terumoto and Tokugawa Ieyasu were upper class themselves." Xu Wei said with certainty: "Kuki Yoshitaka knew exactly what the source of his power was. Therefore, his public clamor was just instructed by Oda Nobunaga."

"You must know this clearly. Oda Nobunaga has never been a submissive dog. After using the influence of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize his position, he immediately began to want to get rid of the Ming Dynasty."

Oda Nobunaga was never willing to be inferior to anyone, whether the Emperor of Japan or the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. What Oda Nobunaga always wanted to do was to be the master of the world, that is, to be above him. There was no one else but God.

"So, how should we deal with Kuki Yoshitaka's attack this time?" Commander Li Chengli asked the governor about the direction of the war.

Li Chengli gave his own opinion and plan, which was to hold on and wait for help. The Ming Emperor's edict made it very clear that the Ming navy had already taken action. As long as they could hold on for a few months, when the Ming navy arrived, that would be the time when the Japanese navy would be destroyed.

"Military affairs should be handled by the commander. I am just a scholar." Xu Wei said sincerely, "I will leave it to General Li. His Majesty has made a clear order: if you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of the firewood. If you are unable to do so, you can retreat first and come back with the Ming navy. You don't have to worry about the so-called responsibility of losing territory."

It doesn't matter even if the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office is really destroyed. His Majesty's explanation is that as long as people are there, everything is there. It is a newly established Governor-General's Office, so it is normal to have some setbacks. As long as it is taken back, it will be fine.

As for Xu Wei, he, Sun Keyi and Luo Yinghe would live and die with Nagasaki.

Li Chengli did not intend to change his position or take the initiative to attack, but instead used the tactics of the red-haired barbarians to bully the Japanese, who had no siege equipment.

In wars throughout history, the pig's tactics have been successfully used time and again. When attacked, they will press their buttocks against the wall, making it impossible for you to catch their tails. In the end, you will be helpless against them, and they may bite you with their sharp teeth and won't let go.

There is no doubt that Li Chengli used the pig tactics and relied on the strong city for defense.

There are two prerequisites for this tactic to be effective. The first prerequisite is that all territories except for the city and the camp are abandoned. This requires such ruthlessness. Most of the people in Nagasaki Governor-General's Office and Kyushu Island are Japanese, so it doesn't matter if all the people in the Governor-General's Office are killed.
The second premise is that the enemy does not have large firearms to attack the city. It must be firearms, not anything else.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a key battlefield in Taiyuan. The location of Taiyuan was extremely important. As long as Taiyuan was there, the most powerful Western Army of the Song Dynasty could support Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Jin people would not be able to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Once Taiyuan is lost, the whole world will be lost. Taiyuan is also known as "controlling the mountains and rivers, sitting on the shoulders of the world, bordering the four passes, and controlling the capital of the five originals". Taiyuan is also the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty.

After Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi destroyed the Later Han Dynasty, he burned down the 1,400-year-old city of Jinyang because he was afraid of the place where the emperor's dynasty was born. He also diverted water to flood the city, completely destroying the 40-li circumference of Jinyang City, and built a 10-li circumference city of Taiyuan.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang joined forces to attack Taiyuan, which had a siege of ten miles. Zonghan and Zongwang were both famous generals. Their achievement was that they captured three emperors, the last emperor of the Liao Dynasty and two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty.

They were leading the elite troops of the founding dynasty, and they drove countless captives to make large siege equipment to attack Taiyuan. For a full 250 days, Wang Bing defended the palm-sized city of Taiyuan without waiting for reinforcements. The city was not breached until the food and grass were cut off and people were eating each other.

This is the difficulty of siege when there are no large firearms.

The Mongolian Khan Mongke also had something to say about this. He was a powerful figure throughout his life, but finally died in Diaoyucheng.

Li Chengli began to formulate a defense plan and started to expel the Japanese in the city. He then completely blocked the water gates and put the granaries under complete military control. According to the number of people, they could be used for three years. If the Japanese in the city were not driven out, they could only be used for one year. The townhouses closest to the coastline were requisitioned and armed to become barracks. The forty-eight wells in the city were dug deeper and cleaned.

The preparations for war, such as the setting up of chevaux de frise and horse traps outside the camp, the inspection and test firing of firearms, etc., were carried out in an orderly manner. Finally, before Kuki Yoshitaka arrived at Kyushu Island, the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office had become a fully armed pig, shrinking into the city with its tail hidden and its teeth sharp.

Kuki Yoshitaka put down the telescope in his hand. It was given to him by Oda Nobunaga, and was also bought from a merchant in the Ming Dynasty at a high price by Oda Nobunaga. It only had a magnification of 20 times. The 40-fold astronomical telescope produced by the imperial farm was really limited in number. Only this kind of telescope, which was more like a toy, flowed out of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's really an impeccable turtle formation." After Kuki Yoshitaka put down the telescope, he was in deep despair. Kuki Yoshitaka had fought with Oda Nobunaga for half his life. Before setting out, Oda Nobunaga repeatedly warned him to be quick and that speed was of the essence in war. They must capture the Nagasaki Governor's Office within a month, otherwise they would give up.

Because the Ming navy should arrive in a month, and by then the Kumano navy will be completely wiped out.

Another leader, a man dressed as a warrior, also said sincerely: "No matter how many lives are lost, we can't take it down."

This person is none other than Kuki Yoshitaka's old rival, Murakami Takeyoshi.

This sneak attack on the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office was a joint effort of Oda Nobunaga and Mori Terumoto. It was not just the Kumano navy, but also the Mori navy. Kuki Yoshitaka and Murakami Takeyoshi, who had been rivals for half their lives, suddenly joined together to attack the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office.

Oda Nobunaga paid a heavy price to gain the support of Mori Terumoto.

But they were helpless in the face of the turtle formation of the Nagasaki Governor's Office and had no idea where to start.

The first is the scattered camps and forts. The camp and fort tactics originated from the mountain cities during the Northern Song Dynasty and have a long history. It was used again by Qi Jiguang and developed by Hou Yuzhao, who was loyal to the emperor and the country. Later, it was combined with Western bastion tactics and finally took shape. The Ming Dynasty suffered a lot in the two and a half years of battle in Malacca, and now they are all used in the Nagasaki Governor's Office.

The scattered camps and forts did not have very high walls. The camps and forts were no more than four miles in circumference, with only two city gates. The city wall, including the gate towers, was only about 15 feet high. It could not be compared with the city walls of the Ming Dynasty capital, which were often 30 feet high. They were only the height of a room. There were even just adobe walls on both sides, and only the two city gates were covered with bricks.

But this height of more than ten feet is the geographical advantage. If you want to attack, you have to climb up, and climbing up will result in huge casualties.

There were only eight mortars at the four corners, a well and granaries in the city, but the army had no more than two hundred soldiers, and some had only one hundred.

Fifteen camps and forts were arranged around the Nagasaki Governor's Office in a coordinated manner. If one was attacked, all four directions would come.

Although Kuki Yoshitaka and Murakami Takeyoshi had more than 20,000 Japanese pirates, the small battlefield could not accommodate so many people, and they also had to take into account reinforcements from all directions.

There was no way to avoid it, because bypassing these camps and forts meant exposing the back to the Ming Dynasty, which would make it easy to be caught by the guards, which would be a dead end.

There was actually only one way for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the red-haired foreigners' camp-fort tactics, and that was to use artillery to bombard and take down these camps and forts one by one.

Even if these camps and forts could be taken down within a month, Nagasaki Castle, which was no more than ten miles in circumference, became a new challenge. Outside the moat of Nagasaki Castle, there was a large gentle slope, which was completely within the coverage range of artillery. The Ming Dynasty's shrapnel shells could bring the morale of the Japanese pirates to a negative number. The huge casualties brought about low morale and subsequent mutiny, which was the biggest concern of the besiegers.

Kuki Yoshitaka scratched his head with trembling hands, caught a flea, crushed it to death, and said with gritted teeth: "Throw the bodies of those who died of the plague into the camp, and it will fall without any attack."

"I'm afraid not. The Ming Dynasty has very strict defenses in this regard, and the wells are all inside the houses." Murakami Takeyoshi shook his head after repeatedly confirming through the telescope.

The Ming Dynasty had already taken precautions against this. A house was built at the location of the well and guarded by someone. Even if the bodies of those who died of the plague could be thrown into the camp, they would be burned.

"Lord Kuki, the Ming Dynasty has suffered a lot in the face of these camps and forts, and can only fight hard." Murakami Takeyoshi sighed. Only by paying huge casualties can these camps and forts be taken down. As for Nagasaki Castle, they would be qualified to consider it only after the camps and forts were taken down.

The Ming Dynasty was helpless against this kind of warfare, let alone Japan which did not master the production of gunpowder. In today's world, only the Ming Dynasty and Spain could produce gunpowder in large quantities, and Japan did not have saltpeter.

"There's nothing we can do." Kuki Yoshitaka was extremely anxious. He didn't take it seriously during the march, thinking that no matter how difficult it was to attack the Nagasaki Governor's Office, it was still a battle in a foreign land. Could it be that it was more difficult to attack Azuchi Castle?

Kuki Yoshitaka never considered what would happen if he failed to take Nagasaki. If he could not take the Nagasaki Governor's Office, Oda Nobunaga would only say that it was the navy that acted alone and it had nothing to do with him, Oda Nobunaga. After the separation, Kuki Yoshitaka would be hated by everyone, and it would be a question whether the Kuki family would continue to exist.

Kuki Yoshitaka could not think so much, as he did not have much time. Oda Nobunaga judged that the Ming navy would support Nagasaki within a month. By that time, Kuki Yoshitaka would have no choice but to withdraw his troops or be attacked from both sides and be wiped out.

Kuki Yoshitaka started a tentative attack, but seven consecutive attacks were repelled by the guards of the Daming camp. Cannons, muskets, arrows, gold juice, hot soup, and rolling logs were all powerful weapons for defending the city. The Japanese pirates rushed forward shouting loudly, but faced with the life-threatening blades, they had to retreat.

After seven consecutive charges and attacks on the four camps and forts, there was no progress, and the Ming soldiers actually opened the city gates and began to clean up the battlefield!
Because of the seven charges, morale had dropped to the bottom, and the large number of casualties made people panic. The samurai and foot soldiers were all worried whether they would be in the first three rows of the charge. Bullets and shells meant death.

Kuki Yoshitaka was furious, but he could only watch as the Ming soldiers cleaned up the battlefield as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the garden. After stripping the Japanese clean, they piled them on the road to block their charge.

Li Chengli was from Dongping, Tai'an, Shandong. He practiced martial arts. His father died in the anti-Japanese war. He inherited his father's position as commander-in-chief. Later, Li Chengli also joined the anti-Japanese war. Li Chengli was very self-aware. He knew that he was not good at attacking, but as for defense, isn't it enough to have hands?
"The Japanese are nothing but so-so." Li Chengli breathed a sigh of relief. The Japanese were not as fearless as he had imagined, nor were they insensitive to pain. Their morale plummeted in the face of huge casualties. They charged seven times, each one weaker than the last. Their morale dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end they all came to a standstill.

Wars have always been like this: at the first blow, you are as strong as a tiger; the second blow, you are weaker and as strong as a wolf; the third blow, you are exhausted and as weak as a worm.

Li Chengli thought for a moment and said to several captains, "Pass the order down. Do not take off your armor at night to prevent the Japanese from attacking at night." To prevent the Japanese from making desperate moves, do not take off your armor at night and do not give the Japanese any chance to take advantage. Li Chengli activated his military skills and was invincible.

No matter how strong you are, the breeze will blow across the hills; no matter how arrogant you are, the bright moon will shine across the river.

I remain unmoved, what can you do?
Sure enough, at midnight that night, drums suddenly sounded and the Japanese launched another charge and began a night attack. However, the Ming Dynasty soldiers were well prepared and once again repelled the enemy's night attack, resulting in a stalemate on the battlefield.

"The casualties are heavy. Thirty-two soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died." Li Chengli reported yesterday's battle situation with an extremely embarrassed look on his face. Including the night attack, a total of thirty-two soldiers died in the bloody battle.

Xu Wei frowned and asked, "How many casualties did the Japanese pirates suffer?"

"More than 1,200 heads were cut off." Li Chengli reported the enemy's casualties.

"Register the names of the soldiers, and when the war is over, report to the court to request their credit, build a shrine to the loyal and brave, and engrave their names on a monument to commemorate them." Xu Wei took a deep breath. There would definitely be casualties in a war. Xu Wei had followed Hu Zongxian for so many years that he had long since become indifferent to life and death. However, he still felt genuinely sad every time a comrade-in-arms died.

The battlefield is never a game of house; life and death can be decided in a moment.

"Can we hold it?" Xu Wei looked at Li Chengli and said, "If we can't, we have to arrange for a retreat."

"Yes." Li Chengli said with certainty: "The Japanese are much weaker than we thought, and their will is not firm."

"Where are President Sun Shang and Censor Luo?"

Sun Keyi and Luo Yinghe were not there. Since the news of the Japanese attack came, Sun Keyi and Luo Yinghe had not participated in the meetings of the Governor's Office.

"To guard the gunpowder in the armory." Xu Wei told Li Chengli where the two were going, to guard the gunpowder in the armory.

If the Ming army retreated and the Japanese pirates entered the city, Sun Keyi would ignite the gunpowder depot and blow up the entire Nagasaki. This was a decision that would rather die with honor than live in disgrace. Sun Keyi was not prepared to retreat, and Luo Yinghe would accompany him.

The Ming Dynasty left behind large townhouses along the coast. The Ming Dynasty's guards had already driven away the ships. If they needed to retreat, the guards and guest soldiers would leave, leaving only a few people to destroy the Nagasaki Governor's Office, blowing it up completely and leaving nothing for the Japanese.

This had been planned long ago. Luo Yinghe, the scholar, chose to die with Nagasaki.

"As long as people's hearts are used, we can't lose." Li Chengli made assurances again. The Japanese were not as strong as they thought. This time, the navy was acting alone, and they were not putting their best efforts. Coupled with the factors of the battlefield, the Japanese could not win.

On the third day, the wind suddenly blew and a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The drizzle then turned into a rainstorm. At this time, the Japanese pirates' opportunity came. The Ming Dynasty's weapons for defending the city - artillery, firearms, and arrows - all lost their power because of the rain.

Many times, it depends on the right time, right place and right people. This is the right time. The weather at the end of April should not have such heavy rain, but the heavy rain made it unfavorable to defend the city.

But again, the road was muddy, and by the time the Japanese reached the camp, their strength had been almost exhausted. They were helpless in the face of a ten-foot-high city wall. Even though the samurai in the rear had killed many hesitant foot soldiers who had stopped to move forward, still no one rushed to the top of the city wall.

And worse things were happening. The Ming army's barracks were covered and they could make fires for cooking, but the Japanese outside the city did not have such convenient conditions. Because of the heavy rain, the firewood was wet and could not be ignited. The Japanese, who could only eat dry food, were even less able to attack the city. As for tents, they were a luxury that only samurai could enjoy.

Soon, the Japanese faced an even greater test. The Ming Dynasty's soldiers and foreign troops were fighting in a foreign land, as were the Kumano navy. The heavy rain brought a sharp drop in temperature, and the cold northwest wind blew, and the Japanese foot soldiers began to fall sick.

As for the Mori navy? The Mori navy has already run away!

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Murakami Takeyoshi did not inform Kuki Yoshitaka and secretly retreated with the Mori family's navy. Kuki Yoshitaka had no way to retreat, but Murakami Takeyoshi was not barefoot. He had a way to retreat. He came quietly and left quietly.

The situation on the battlefield showed a one-sided trend. The Ming Dynasty soldiers sat firmly in the city and would not open the city gates to attack. The commander Li Chengli was extremely cautious as he was responsible for the lives of the soldiers he led.

"No, does Japan like the Three Kingdoms so much?" Li Chengli looked at the women's clothing in front of him and said dumbfoundedly: "Does he think he can humiliate me by wearing women's clothing?"

Zhuge Liang once humiliated Sima Yi by dressing as a woman, but Sima Yi still refused to come out. Now Kuki Yoshitaka also used this trick to humiliate Li Chengli, trying to force Li Chengli to go out of the city to fight with Kuki Yoshitaka.

A duel between two generals determines the winner.

"The Grand Master of the Imperial Clan always says that the Japanese have not learned to be three-tenths human, but are still deeply beastly. This cavalry raid was actually made up from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not the Records of the Three Kingdoms. They are not even willing to read the Records of the Three Kingdoms." Xu Wei looked at the woman in clothing and shook his head.

There has never been any culture of one-on-one duels in the Central Plains. Duels between generals were mainly leisure wrestling, and the outcome of a battlefield could never be decided by a duel between generals.

"It looks like we don't have to retreat, and General Sun Shang doesn't have to blow up Nagasaki." Xu Wei became more confident. This was a sign of the Japanese's helplessness, so they resorted to this desperate measure. If they had a way, they would have attacked long ago.

The Japanese used firearms, removing cannons from ironclad ships and bombarding the camp, but the damage caused was zero.

Because the power of the Japanese firearms was too small. The firearms they used were all foreign trade models sold to them by the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, they were all defective products. They looked powerful, but the amount of gunpowder and the air tightness of the cannons were completely different, so that a three-jin cannon only made a hole when it hit the adobe wall.

Adobe is a mixture of three-in-one soil, not soil piled together. It is weaker than masonry structures, but it is definitely not earthy debris that will break into pieces at the slightest touch.

The Japanese were somewhat desperate, and the Ming soldiers discovered that the best weapon to defend the city against the Japanese was a wooden stick, which was more useful than other city defense equipment.

When the Japanese pirates climbed up the ladder, the Ming soldiers worked in pairs. One of them would hit him on the head with a stick, making him dazed and brain-damaged. Then another one would poke him off the ladder. He would not die if he fell, but would only wail, which further undermined his morale.

Defending the city is similar to playing whack-a-mole. A Ming Dynasty guard can keep knocking for a whole day.

Wait until the enemy retreats, clean up the battlefield and then make up the loss. The samurai are unwilling to charge, and the foot soldiers have no protective gear. This has become another dilemma for the Japanese pirates on the Nagasaki battlefield.

The rain lasted for more than ten days, and the sky finally cleared up, but Kuki Yoshitaka was in despair because the Nagasaki Bay was full of ships flying the Ming Dynasty's Big Dipper flag.

The reinforcements, which were originally expected to arrive in a month, actually arrived in just half a month!
Speed ​​is of the essence in war. The Ming navy arrived half a month earlier than expected, so that Kuki Yoshitaka had no preparation for retreat and was caught off guard.

Shuri Hou Chen Lin personally brought three five-masted ocean-going ships and thirty horse boats, and came to support day and night. When Chen Lin received the imperial edict from His Majesty, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and the Nagasaki Governor's Office was in great danger!
The Japanese are like dogs that are caught in two sides. Don't ever expect them to be loyal. Oda Nobunaga will definitely resist.

Chen Lin rushed through the night, extremely anxious. When he finally arrived in Nagasaki, he discovered that the situation on the battlefield seemed to be that the Ming Dynasty had the upper hand.

Chen Lin soon figured it out. Even Sishui Marquis Yin Zhengmao and Yingyang Marquis Zhang Yuanxun had been troubled by the camp fort, which took two and a half years to conquer. So why did the Japanese pirates send out the navy just to take down this hard bone?
Chen Lin did not attack immediately, but hunted the Japanese navy on the sea. The ironclad ships that were invincible among the Japanese were like paper in front of the five-masted ocean-going ship, a sea monster, and could not withstand a salvo from the five-masted ocean-going ship.

The Ming navy began its landing operations only after sinking the Japanese ships. The Nagasaki Governor-General's Office, after enduring for more than ten days, also began to take the initiative and cooperated with the Ming reinforcements to launch a pincer attack on Kuki Yoshitaka. The Japanese went from attacking to defending, and soon their defense line collapsed. They scattered and fled in all directions, and the Ming began to pursue them.

It was already mid-May when Zhu Yijun received the battle report from Nagasaki. During this period, Zhu Yijun was extremely worried about the situation in Nagasaki. The coastal defense inspector seaplane had been delivering messages, but because it was a war zone, the situation changed rapidly.

Zhu Yijun was already prepared. Sun Hongyi, Luo Yinghe and others really blew up Nagasaki. The full-scale war to annihilate Japan began immediately!
Although the time is not ripe and the Ming Dynasty has not yet fully understood the hydrological geography of Japan, sometimes you have to eat the half-cooked rice!

"Well done!" Zhu Yijun stood up suddenly after reading the report and said repeatedly, "Well done! Our Ming army was brave and fought to the death. We withstood the Japanese's overwhelming attack and repelled the invading enemy. When Chen Lin's reinforcements arrived, we attacked from both inside and outside and annihilated the Kumano Navy! Kuki Yoshitaka was captured alive. Hahahaha, well done! Well done!"

"There will be a huge reward! Submit a memorial to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to propose conferring titles on Xu Wei and Li Cheng."

"In the next chapter, the Nagasaki Governor's Office forces Oda Nobunaga to sign the Silver and Sulfur Treaty!"

Since Xu Wei and Li Cheng were given titles, the rewards for the soldiers would definitely not be low, and would be very generous. In addition to the silver rewards, Zhu Yijun also specially sent a batch of silk, national cellars and other items from the inner treasury as rewards, including both physical rewards and monetary rewards.

Zhu Yijun was never stingy in this regard, and as the treasury had piles of silver, Zhu Yijun's reward this time was particularly generous. In addition to the established rewards, he gave each person an extra 20 silver coins as a reward. With 12,000 soldiers participating in the war, this amounted to 240,000 silver coins.

The interesting thing is that Kuki Yoshitaka was captured alive and was sent to the capital for trial, and finally to the Kaikuin for execution. This avoided false reporting of military intelligence to the greatest extent, after all, interrogation was just a reconciliation of accounts.

Sending captured enemy generals to the capital to offer them as tribute was a way to avoid possible political risks and to deliberately retain a portion of the captives to prevent the lowly scholars from making trouble.

In fact, this was initiated by Zheng He when he captured the King of Ceylon. Li Chengliang also did it a lot. In order to capture Wang Gao, Li Chengliang even deliberately got injured.

"Sir, you are a bit too cautious. He wants to investigate the Jiekuyuan, but it's unnecessary. It's just an accident." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in front of him. Zhang Juzheng's memorial made the emperor embarrassed.

There were three patients who had their wisdom teeth extracted that day. All the instruments were disinfected and removed together, and Zhang Hong was personally supervising the process. Everyone else was fine, except Zhu Yijun, who developed symptoms of cold and fever. The surgeon who performed the removal of Zhu Yijun's transverse teeth was Chen Shigong.

There was nothing wrong with Jie Ku Yuan, but Zhang Juzheng thought it necessary to investigate.

"Sir, you don't believe anyone." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "If you want to check, then let you check."
