Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 465: South of the Ming Dynasty, there is no more war

In October of the first year of Yongchang.

In the Uuliangha tribe of the Mongolian grassland, two brothers, Zhu Fan and Zhu Gui, rode their horses and looked north.

Behind the two men, the Mongolian tribes gathered a million troops, most of whom were men from the prairie, but half of them were actually women from the prairie.

The past few years have not been peaceful in the grassland. The successive wars have caused the grassland to lose a large number of people.

However, the morale of the grassland troops at this time was not low. Instead, they looked at the two Ming princes in front of them with great momentum.

In fact, they were not Zhu Fan and Zhu Gui's troops. The two brothers were just Ming troops who each led more than 10,000 Wangjia guards.

But what surprised both of them was that as they took out Zhu Chu's imperial edict, the tribesmen on the grassland followed them out without any suspicion at all.

It is enough to see how high Zhu Chu's reputation is on the grassland.

What made Zhu Fan and Zhu Gui even more convinced was that they were deeply impressed.

The third brother has a bad temper, but he is outspoken. He is not evil-hearted, but as the legitimate son and one of the first brothers, he is rather arrogant.

"All officers and soldiers, listen to the order," Zhu Fan shouted, facing the already cool north wind, he ordered the whole army: "This time, by the order of the Holy Khan of Emperor Yongchang of the Ming Dynasty, we will completely conquer the Siberian Khanate."

In fact, according to Zhu Ming's original plan, he planned to wait until Zhu Di had pacified the three Jurchen tribes, and then Zhu Di would support the two brothers from a route along the sea. The three kings of the Zhu family would advance together and wipe out Siberia on three fronts.

In the past, Zhu Gui and Zhu Fan were still at odds with each other, but now they understand the third brother's character, and their relationship has eased a lot.

Don't forget that Daming hasn't conquered others, but his own home has been robbed.

Just as Zhu Fan and Zhu Gui led the grassland army to the expedition, Zhu Di had also completed the conquest of the savage Jurchen tribe.

But Ming Dynasty did not suffer any losses.

But until now, Zhu Fan has not asked anyone to contact Zhu Di about the situation, so he discussed with Zhu Gui and decided to start a war.

Later, after conquering the Western Regions and Southeast Asian countries, they made a huge fortune from the war.

Not to mention the Northeastern battlefield, the trophies Zhu Chu brought back from the grassland were enough to support Zhu Di and Zhu Quan's 200,000 troops, and it was more than enough, and there were more horses, cattle and sheep left, which improved the Central Plains. A lot of people's quality of life.

Zhu Fan rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "There is no need for you to teach me a lesson. Just wait, maybe I will fight here first and I can support you. The most important thing is, don't let Zhu Laosi come. Look at our brothers’ jokes.”

The two have already divided their forces. Zhu Fan is looking towards the mountains of Eastern Siberia, while Zhu Gui's goal is the plains of Western Siberia.

In addition, Shen Rong's caravan provides cover.

On the other hand, between the third brother and the fourth brother, they are obviously brothers, one father and one mother.

Zhu Zhen was so relieved that he handed over this million-strong army to them.

But it is impossible to take away all the grassland people. What if someone from the Siberian Khanate comes here? Or will other surrounding forces notice the emptiness of the grassland and invade it on a large scale?

But the two brothers were always competing secretly. Even if Zhu Ming became emperor, they still refused to obey anyone.

Except for those who resisted and were killed, Zhu Di was leading an increasingly large force and was in the Tartar Strait, commanding the troops to attack Sakhalin Island by boat.

In addition, logistical supplies were also under heavy pressure, so Wuyuntana was responsible for leading all the Wulianha people. One was to sit in the rear to prevent people from stealing their homes, and the other was responsible for providing stable logistical supplies along the grain route.

This also makes many black people find no reason to blackmail him.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen did not resort to force, let alone drag down the Ming Dynasty and forcefully launch a war.

Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry charged together, and the formation was more than earth-shattering.

"Third brother, I heard that it is colder over there. Lao Ba also said that if we can't win this autumn, we must not delay it until winter. You have to remember it," Zhu Gui explained uneasily.

So don't look at the fact that wars have broken out one after another in the past two years.

Although Wu Liangha's power was not as good as that of Oara and Tatar, and he suffered huge losses in the previous war, Wu Liangha still had some spare strength.

"Go to war," Zhu Fan shouted, followed by the 500,000-strong Wala army, heading straight for Eastern Siberia.

Zhu Gui also raised his hand and waved, leading the Tatar army of 500,000 to rush towards the Siberian plains.

Millions of people shouted in unison: "Long live the Ming Emperor, long live the Yongchang Emperor, long live the Holy Khan."

After all, he is the younger brother, so it doesn't hurt to give way to the elder brother. Anyway, there is no conflict of interest now.

The brothers only took away the Tatar and Wala troops, as for Wu Liangha.

Thanks to the early planting of high-yielding rice seeds and other crops in Yunnan in recent years, Yunnan alone can support dozens of millions of troops eating, drinking and sleeping.

It is precisely because of Zhu Zhen's absolute trust that he proved that his original promise to his brothers was not false. He really regarded the vassal king as a weapon for the country, not a threat.

The last three major Jurchen tribes were completely conquered by the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the three guards of Duoyan already belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Jurchen clan became the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few years, Zhu Chu has been quietly transporting large amounts of grain and grass to the grassland. The excuse is that the livestock brought from the grassland must provide food to the grassland people.

For example, the battlefields in the Western Regions and Southeast Asia were initially supplied by Yunnan.

But it doesn't hurt.

This is even more terrifying than when horses marched into the Central Plains and completely destroyed the Mongolian army of the Song Dynasty.

Is Zhu Chu really not afraid of their rebellion?
This is a million-strong army. If it does not march northward, it will march southward.

Unknowingly, Zhu Ming had already completed the deployment of many strategic plans.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Gui were very excited. They were no longer vassal kings guarding the border, and they no longer had to be trapped in a feudal country as idle princes. They also had the opportunity to expand their territory, contribute to the Ming Dynasty, and show themselves of ability.

In fact, in history, in the ninth year of Yongle, when Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di, established the Nurgandu Division, Sakhalin Island was also included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

And now he is personally supervising the battle.

Today's Sakhalin Island belongs to the Jurchens. As the three major Jurchen tribes on the land all surrendered, except for a few Jurchens who resisted strongly and had their heads chopped off, within three days, Zhu Di had already moved to take charge personally. We arrived at the center of Sakhalin Island.

Then Zhu Di sent someone to deliver a message to Zhu Quan, and at the same time he began to continue the attack on Ezo, which was later known as Hokkaido Island.

According to Zhu Chu's strategic plan, after Zhu Di conquered the three Jurchen tribes, he would then attack the Japanese islands from Sakhalin Island by sea. At the same time, Zhu Quan would also cross the sea from Korea Island to land on the Japanese islands.

This is the occasion.

So after Zhu Quan got the news, he did not hesitate and immediately asked the troops to gather at the seashore. During this period, they were either newly built or collected from Korean people.

Originally, the Ming army had completely conquered the hearts and minds of the Korean people, and knowing that they were going to fight for a living, they naturally received enthusiastic support.

It seems that Japanese pirates not only caused misery to the people of Ming Dynasty, but also hated them to the core of Korea.

The Ming Dynasty now wants to use troops against the Japanese country. It is an army of justice. Many Korean people even came spontaneously. Some waved flags and cheered, some volunteered to be boatmen, and many of them were not out of poverty yet and came to provide food and drink. .

As long as you live a small life, everyone will be good friends.

We are in this together.

Feeling the support of the people, Zhu Quan even vowed to shout: "This expedition will not destroy the Japanese pirates, and we will never give up."

So Zhu Quan personally took a boat on the front line, led the army, and arrived at the Japanese island in a mighty manner.

Since we need to cross the sea, we can't bring our mounts with us.

But Zhu Quan was leading the Duoyan Three Guards, who were Jurchens. Even if they didn't have horses, so what? Each of the tall men from the Northeast had tall heads and horses. The worst they had to be 1.7 meters tall. Just standing there would make it impossible for them to live in vain.

On the contrary, the average height of Japanese people today is probably only 1.5 meters, and even for men, the average height of women is only 1.4 meters.

This is not to criticize them. Why do they call them Japanese countries, Japanese islands, and Japanese people?

Wa means short, and this word refers to dwarves.

In the country of dwarves, one is naturally not very tall.

Facts have also proved that when Zhu Quan led his army to the Japanese island and began to comprehensively sweep the Japanese island, the Japanese people he encountered were unable to resist.

In just one day, a large area of ​​land near Korea Island, including Nagasaki, was captured.

"What the hell? Is it just this little fighting power?" Zhu Quan was speechless. Because he has not even encountered effective resistance. Even the so-called samurai groups in each county only numbered dozens or hundreds of people, and the largest one was only a thousand people.

With just this small amount of troops, do you dare to call yourself a country? Do you even dare to provoke me, Daming?
In anger, Zhu Quan swung the butcher's knife and the head rolled to the ground.

He didn't even bother to let anyone collect the body and just threw the body into the sea.

That day, the fish nearby were boiling, and the sea was almost dyed red. I don’t know how many fish bellies were fed.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Japanese general who conquered barbarians, stood dumbfounded on the spot after receiving the news.

"Why does the Ming Dynasty want to use troops against our Japanese country? Damn it, damn it, how can we resist? I said those guys will cause disaster sooner or later. Obviously, as long as you accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, maintain the relationship of monarch and minister with the Ming Dynasty, and pay tribute every year in exchange Trade is enough," Ashikaga Yoshimitsu angrily scolded some people while feeling aggrieved.

In fact, not long ago, Japan was still divided, known as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and there were two emperors on both sides of the country.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of banning the sea. He also sent people to the Japanese country to inform them that the Central Plains dynasty had changed and it was time to claim vassal status and pay tribute.

Anyway, the tribute would not be treated badly on them, so they were still very happy.

But the problem is, they now have two emperors, one says I am the orthodox emperor, and the other says you fart and I am the orthodox emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been confused, so I might as well let you finish the fight first and then talk about it.

As a result, many samurai groups supported by the shogunate began to go to sea to plunder the Ming Dynasty.

Again, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid of Japanese pirates, but he couldn't bear the innocent persecution of the people, so he decided to ban the sea and move the people on the seaside to inland cities to prevent them from being killed by Japanese pirates.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the cost of people's lives, and the Ming emperors focused on guarding the north and neglected to guard against the seaside, which led to the proliferation of Japanese pirates.

But now, as the Ming army attacks the Japanese island, the Japanese understand that the Ming Dynasty just doesn't care about you because the threat from the north is greater.

But once there is no threat to the north, Ming, who has his hands free, can control them at will.

What's more, Zhu Quan is on the island in the south, and Zhu Di is in the north.

Zhu Di is even more exaggerated. Now as the Jurchens' son-in-law, he has become the new leader of the Jurchens. Not only does he have 100,000 original troops, but now there are hundreds of thousands of Jurchens following him.

It was like locusts passing through the border, leaving no grass behind.

Zhu Di even divided his troops into dozens of troops. After seeing the weak national power of Japan, he wished he could have thousands of people in one team and directly overran the entire Hokkaido.

On the second day, Zhu Quan also had no teacher to teach himself. Since the Japanese were so vulnerable, he simply divided his troops into dozens of troops. Anyway, they had guns, and their personal force was stronger than that of the Jurchens.

So the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Quan launched a cruel and ruthless suppression of the Japanese country.

Anyone who dared to resist would be killed.

Anyone who dares to hold weapons will be killed without mercy.

All those who claim to be warriors should be killed.

In the end, the Jurchens went crazy and even imitated the Mongols and brought a wheel with them.

The meaning is also very clear, as long as the man is taller than the wheel, he will be beheaded.

Zhu Di and Zhu Quan didn't care at first, because they knew how cruel these Japanese pirates were to the people of the Ming Dynasty. They had also heard of Zhu Zhen's method of treating Japanese pirates before.

So they acquiesced to this behavior.

But then things gradually got out of control. The reason was that someone was so brave that he turned the wheel over. Is this to kill the whole family?

Is it okay to turn the wheel sideways? Even a baby would probably have to be beheaded.

Fortunately, Zhu Di and Zhu Quan stopped it early, otherwise, apart from women, there would really be nothing left in the Japanese country.

"Forget it, God has the virtue of good life. What's more, if we do too much, how can we make others willing to surrender in the future?" Zhu Di was indeed the Yongle Emperor in history. Together they managed to stop this crazy killing.

If nothing else, there are other places to conquer in the future.

You have been killing so much here, how can anyone else dare to surrender? Surrendering means death anyway, so we might as well fight to the death.

Bad influence.

However, by now, the Japanese kingdom has been destroyed, and almost all adult men in the country are dead. Even the general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was beheaded before he could surrender.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the person who ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, and also brought the shogunate system and the power of the shogun to its peak during the Muromachi shogunate period.

When Zhu Di and Zhu Quan learned that the general had the final say in Japan, and the so-called emperor was just a puppet.

The two brothers got to know Zhu Zhen a little bit.

Zhu Zhen said that it would be better for the Zhu family's children to fight among themselves in the future to compete for the throne than to be overtaken by outsiders.

Because the descendants of the Zhu family can still have some thin noodles left, but the foreigners are the catastrophe.

This was the bad start of the Sima family. The Sima family almost wiped out Cao Cao's descendants, and it is said that they killed thousands of Cao family members.

Later, when dynasties changed, it was inevitable that there would be some reckoning with the previous dynasty.

All in all, the Japanese country is completely ruined, and even the human race may be extinct.

However, some children still survived. I hope that after cleaning up their bad habits, these new generations can be influenced by Han culture.

Of course, this part will most likely be integrated with the Jurchen tribe in the future. If the new generation and tribe still deserve to die, then the country will be exterminated and the species will be exterminated. It is not worthy of sympathy.

At this point, due to geographical reasons, the Pacific Campaign came to an end.

You see, the American continent has not been discovered yet, and the same is true for the Australian continent.

On the other side of the South China Sea are the Luzon Islands and Southeast Asian countries.

Now that the countries in Southeast Asia have been conquered, the small countries on the Luzon Islands are trembling with fear. Before the army can arrive, their kings rush to the Ming Dynasty to surrender in person.

Just kidding, when the army comes to the city, it will not only be as simple as the country being destroyed, but there is still a way to survive now.

South of the Ming Dynasty, there were no more wars, even from a global perspective, even overseas.

From the Pacific Ocean to the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, it was all the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, after some discussions between Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, Zhu Quan and Duoyan Sanwei were left to take charge of the aftermath of the Japanese island, including sending many of the Japanese gold, silver and jewelry trophies to the capital.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight north again in a mighty manner.

Since Zhu Quan had temporarily withdrawn from the battlefield, he simply transferred all his various artillery pieces and rifles to his fourth brother.

In mid-October, Zhu Di marched all the way along the coastline of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk into Eastern Siberia, where he also met Zhu Fan, who had been frustrated in the war.

Zhu Fan was helpless because Eastern Siberia was mountainous and rich in mineral resources, which meant that there was no shortage of iron in Eastern Siberia.

And today's Siberia has the title of 'Khanate', so they were once part of the Mongol Empire, and are now also presided over by Mongols, Turks, and Tatars.

The Tatar tribes refer to the Tatar region on the Mongolian grassland, and the Mongols there can also be called Tatars.

The Tatars here are not entirely Mongolians. They are a bit complicated, so I won’t go into details.

There are more than a dozen fortified cities in Eastern Siberia, and the people here cannot hold on.

In addition, it is really too cold here, with short summers and long winters. Moreover, spring thaws late and autumn freezes early. It is simply the limit of human survival.

This is because about a quarter of Eastern Siberia is within the Arctic Circle, as you can imagine.

It is said that the coldest places have winter temperatures for nine to ten months a year.

Zhu Fan was almost stunned by the cold. One morning, when he woke up, it was completely frosty outside, and the pools in the camp were all frozen.

The whole thing is a winter scene.

Zhu Fan finally understood why Zhu Jin warned him and Zhu Gui to withdraw their troops quickly once Siberia could not be captured within autumn.

Nonsense, if we evacuate slowly, countless people may freeze to death in one night.

At this time, Zhu Di led the army and came to support.
