Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 251 The Japanese country will wait.

"Haha, okay, okay, haha, okay..."

Emperor Hongwu lost his usual composure. While reading the contents of the good news, he sighed loudly, all his mind was focused on that good news.

Anyone could see that the emperor was sighing from the bottom of his heart, and the contents of the victory report really moved him!
Seeing this, other people in Wuying Hall became even more anxious. What is the situation?Over in Liaodong, such a big news came unexpectedly and quietly?
To be honest, it doesn’t take much time to read a victory document.But this time, many people felt that time seemed to pass so slowly. They had been waiting for a long time. Why hadn't the emperor read the good news yet?

I don't know how much time passed, but I finally saw Emperor Hongwu's eyes leaving the victory document, with a smile on his face, which was definitely contagious and very emotional.

I saw him raising his head and scanning the ministers below, and finally looked at Li Shanchang, and said with great emotion: "It is said that a son is better than his father, but this time, my son and son-in-law do not know the skills of my son and son-in-law better than the grand master, haha! "

It could be heard from the laughter that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind at all that no one else knew his son and son-in-law better, and he was obviously very happy.

Li Shanchang: "..."

In fact, he knew very well that the blind cat had just bumped into a dead mouse. He had never thought that there would really be such a great victory in Liaodong!But fortunately, this way, my doubts in the emperor's mind must be gone!

However, although this is a good thing, to be honest, Li Shanchang is a little unhappy.That boy from Liujia Village is so outstanding. I'm afraid I won't be able to regain my face in my lifetime!

When the others heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, they all looked at Li Shanchang with admiration in their eyes.No one dared to conclude, but the grand master dared to conclude that there was a great victory in Liaodong. He was truly worthy of being the first contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He had such a vision!
But having said that, what kind of great victory was the great victory in Liaodong?Why was it that such a great victory was achieved without making any noise and without the court investing more manpower and material resources?
Out of curiosity, Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help it, and immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, I don't know what the good news specifically said?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glanced at him, then glanced at the other courtiers. Seeing the curiosity in their eyes, he said with a smile: "Your fourth brother and brother-in-law discussed launching the Liaodong War. It was expected that Goryeo would send troops, so we We were well prepared. We first launched the Shenyang offensive with sharp firearms and the chariot camp as a shield. We captured Shenyang with several times the enemy's force and then returned to Liaoyang. We came and went freely, which greatly damaged the enemy's morale."

Having said that, he deliberately paused.

Because he knew that if the war ended here, although it would be considered a great victory, it would definitely not move him so much, and it would certainly not be comparable to the contribution to regaining Yunnan.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he became a little anxious when his father continued to speak, and asked quickly: "What next?"

When his son joined in, Zhu Yuanzhang continued cheerfully: "Before your fourth brother launched the Shenyang War, he actually led 2 troops to implement the already deployed plan to raid the capital of Goryeo by sea, and succeeded with one blow, blocking all Goryeo kings and ministers in the city. There are prisoners here!"

Upon hearing this, a low voice suddenly sounded in Wuying Hall.

At this time, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty all came from the founding of the People's Republic of China. They had experienced wars and of course knew some military skills.Not to mention, especially generals, who were killed out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Precisely because they all know military skills, they were even more surprised that King Yan unexpectedly raided the capital of Goryeo and killed all the Goryeo kings and ministers in one go!
This is simply unbelievable!
Things like this have happened throughout the dynasties and thousands of years, but they are very rare!
The hussar general of the Han Dynasty once raided the court of the Xiongnu and killed a Chanyu; in addition, the Jingkang Uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty also saw the Jin army attack the capital.

Of these two, the first target is the Xiongnu. There is no city wall protection. The key point is to find the location of their royal court. As for the Northern Song Dynasty, I am embarrassed to mention it.

King Yan, however, was protected by the strongest city wall in Goryeo, and he only made a surprise attack with 2 men on naval warships. As a result, his losses in the battle were negligible, and he also captured all the kings and ministers of Goryeo. This is simply This is one of the most famous battles from ancient times to the present.

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to do this.

In other words, none of the famous generals in Wuying Palace dared to think about such a war.As a result, King Yan not only thought about it, but also did it!

They were shocked, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still introducing: "Subsequently, the news spread to Liaodong, the Goryeo army surrendered, the Mongolian army collapsed, whether they surrendered or escaped, Nanaha was forced to surrender. .From now on, the entire Liaodong and Koryo will be my Ming territory! Hahaha..."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was really smiling proudly!

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's introduction, a "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded in Wuying Hall.

"It's really amazing. If nothing else, Liaodong alone is bigger than Yunnan. Not to mention, it destroyed Goryeo!"

"It's unimaginable. With such a small number of troops, we managed to conquer such a large territory. I'm really convinced!"

"Unbelievable, incredible!"

"..."

Of course, some people still have doubts in their hearts, such as Deng Yu, the Duke of Wei. Needless to say, he has rich war experience.

There are several places among them, listening to what the emperor said, it seems to be an understatement, but he thinks, how did these places do it?As long as there is a problem in one place, things will never go so smoothly!
Therefore, he couldn't bear it any longer and immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, can you show the good news to me?"

It wasn't that he didn't believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said, but as a famous founding general who had led troops in wars for half his life, he really wanted to figure out what those few details were that allowed Liaodong to have such a great victory, and still win with less. , a great victory that expanded thousands of miles!
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, with a smile on his face, he immediately ordered the eunuch beside him to turn over the document he had been holding, and at the same time said: "Everyone, please take a look, this northern war is remarkable. a ha ha ha……"

After talking about it, he couldn't help but laugh again. He was full of the pride of being an elder and watching his children succeed!
If in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to support his son so that his ability could surpass that of many famous founding generals, after this battle, he no longer had to worry about it.Because it already is!
On the other side, because it was Deng Yu who spoke, and he was the Duke of Wei, and his status was high enough, he was the first to get the victory document, and he immediately lowered his head and read it carefully.

Next to him, Duke Cao Guo Li Wenzhong couldn't wait any longer, so he stretched his head and looked over.

Others couldn't get close to each other, so they had to look at the two of them, hoping that they would hurry up and wait until it was their turn.

I saw Deng Yu looking at the victory document. As he looked at it, he would nod his head and say, "I see."After a while, he finished reading, and Li Wenzhong snatched the victory document and read it.

Deng Yu didn't take it seriously, but looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said sincerely: "The general was still a little confused at first, but after reading the specific content of the victory report, he had no other ideas. The combination of King Yan and the Prince Consort, The general is really impressed!"

What is his identity?One of the most famous military generals in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he has always been not good at flattering, and likes to be straightforward.Now that you can say this, you can tell that you are really impressed!

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay for the two of them to work together, haha, it's okay!"

Judging from his expression, is that okay?I'm afraid it's not really good, but it's very good!
I heard Deng Yu say with admiration: "Those muskets and cannons invented by the son-in-law have been tested in actual combat, and they are so powerful that they shock the enemy."

"Whether it was the Battle of Shenyang that came and went freely, which frightened the Tatars and made them want to surrender, or the Battle of the Goryeo capital, where the barbarian cannons opened the city gates and caught the Goryeo people by surprise, thus capturing the Goryeo monarchs and ministers in one fell swoop, The power of firearms shows how powerful they are!”

"The King of Yan's fighting style is quite similar to that of the hussars generals of the Han Dynasty. With the dignity of a vassal king, he is able to endure hardships and stand hard work, not to mention the dangers on the battlefield. He turns like the wind, makes a surprise attack thousands of miles away, and captures the kings and ministers of Goryeo in one fell swoop. His courage is inferior to that of the humble ministers. also!"

At this time, Li Wenzhong had already read the victory report, and then he praised: "The King of Yan is a warrior, and the Prince Consort is a writer. The two of them partnered to create such a miracle. It is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to them, the smile on his face never stopped, and he still nodded slightly, obviously in a good mood.

Li Shanchang was the third one to read the good news, but after a while, he also finished reading it. When the good news came out of his hand, he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

At this time, he suddenly felt lucky.Fortunately, this boy from Liujia Village is not of the same generation as him.Otherwise, with this kid's ability, I am afraid he will take his place. He is the number one contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
For such a person, praising and killing him is just a joke!

As far as his level is concerned, no matter how much he praises him, it is his ability!
Wen, there is Xiangshan County there; Wu, now it has collected Liaodong and Koryo, and has expanded thousands of miles!
Regardless of civil or military skills, who can compare with him?

Not to mention, people are very wise in making money, and if they come up with any idea, it’s like a cornucopia of ideas!

This kind of person, hey, he is really inferior!
At this time, compared to him, he was the only one who had so much on his mind. Everyone else in Wuying Hall was just amazed.

After a long while, all the civil servants and generals in Wuying Palace had finished reading the victory documents.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the victory document that was re-presented to him, and immediately issued an order to announce it to the whole country and spread it widely to boost the country's prestige!

Not to mention Liaodong, just the matter of Goryeo made him feel proud!

As a founding emperor, he was certainly a high-spirited person.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to the Japanese state to tell them that he had become emperor and wanted the Japanese state to surrender to the Central Plains as usual. As a result, they directly killed the Ming envoy sent there, without giving him any face!
This is true of Japan, and it is also true of Goryeo.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to Goryeo, not that Goryeo must surrender, but just to buy horses and establish connections between the two countries.

Based on the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, he has lowered his requirements for Goryeo.I just hope that I can win over Goryeo, so that when the Ming Dynasty and Meng Yuan are fighting for Liaodong, Goryeo will not be allowed to help Meng Yuan.

The result was good, Gao Li changed hands and also killed the envoys he sent, Cai Bin, Lin Mi and others.

Still didn't give Zhu Yuanzhang any face!
However, for the sake of the overall situation, the situation in Liaodong, and in order to deal with his biggest enemy Meng Yuan first, he had to pinch his nose and endure it. If it weren't for the strength of his eldest son-in-law Zhang Yifan, he might have to release all the detained Korean envoys, and he would have to Licking his face to restore his relationship with Gao Li.

These things are all slaps in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor!

Ordinary people are really intolerable!Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang is a man who does big things, so he endured it, but this does not mean that he will be happy in his heart!
Do you hold a grudge?There will definitely be something written down in the notebook. It depends on whether he can seek justice!
Now, his son and son-in-law have gotten justice for him.Instead of persuading Goryeo to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang, he directly destroyed Goryeo and captured all the kings and ministers of Goryeo, and they were on their way to the capital.

Regarding this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not be relieved or happy!

At this time, the words Zhang Yifan shouted flashed through his mind: Anyone who offends me will be punished even if he is far away!

Okay, it’s so enjoyable!

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang might have had no other ideas, but now, with the example of Goryeo, the shame that the Japanese country had given him flashed through his mind!

It would be great if one day in the future, I could also teach the Japanese a lesson!
The best thing is to destroy the Japanese country as well. In this way, which country will dare to kill the Ming envoy without giving him face?
However, this idea still popped up in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind for a short while, and then he suppressed it again.

The biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty is still the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty on the grassland.

Although this old opponent has been driven out of the Central Plains, he still has strong strength. If he doesn't completely defeat this opponent, he won't be able to care about other places for the time being.

Speaking of it, it was a surprise that Korea's destruction of the country was also a surprise.The imperial court did not spend much manpower and material resources. It was entirely the fourth son and eldest son-in-law's ability, which gave him a big surprise out of thin air!

With this thought in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to the many civil and military officials below: "For such a great victory, please come and discuss the rewards!"
