Chapter One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty Reconstruction
"Sir, the artillery has stopped, let's go up and clean it up, right?" Yu Qian asked with a smile.
Tang Ding took a bite of meat, took another sip of wine, and groaned happily.
He didn't answer Yu Qian's words, but looked at him with a smile on his face and asked, "Do you know how the two armies can win in a battle?"
Yu Qian understood that Tang Ding was testing him, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said, "There is a saying in the art of war: use the right combination to win by surprise."
Tang Ding glanced at Yu Qian with a smile, nodded slightly and said, "It seems that you have also seen some art of war."
Yu Qian smiled shyly, lowered his head and explained, "I am curious about all kinds of books, but I have read a few."
Tang Ding's expression suddenly became strange, and he smiled and said, "This is the truth, but you have to remember that most of the things written in books are of no use. Because what you can see, others can also see.
Everyone can see it, so why doesn’t everyone become a general?”
The meaning of this statement is obvious, that is, Yu Qian's view is wrong.
Yu Qian frowned, knowing that Tang He was much more experienced than him in terms of marching and fighting, so he quickly asked humbly, "Then what do you think we can win?"
"Use the strong to attack the weak, use the numbers to defeat others, use strength to dominate others, and the strong will win!" Tang He smiled and nodded, saying seriously.
Yu Qian was stunned, this was completely contrary to what he knew.
"Do you think that fighting is only when the few are against the many and the weak defeat the strong?" Tang Ding asked with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Yu Qian was immediately confused. The books he had read since he was a child had constantly told him that when there are fewer enemies than the weak defeat the strong, this is the true hero.
What does it mean to be outnumbered, to bully the weak?
Tang Ding put down his chopsticks and sighed and said, "Of course it is heroic to defeat the strong with a small number of enemies, but you don't have to look at how many such results have been recorded in history. Most of them are the strong defeating the weak."
When Yu Qian thought about it, he suddenly felt that what Tang Ding said made sense. Examples of the weak defeating the strong with a small number of enemies are rare, but there are countless wars that have occurred in history.
In other words, being outnumbered is the real normal state!
"As a commander, the first thing you should think about is how to win, not the weak defeating the strong. Only when you are forced into a desperate situation will you consider such a thing, do you understand?"
"I understand." Yu Qian sighed slightly and nodded heavily.
Tang Ding suddenly laughed, pointed at Kelisha in the distance, and said, "Then tell me, what should we do now?"
Yu Qian glanced at the coast in the distance, pondered for a moment and said, "Step by step, advance slowly?"
Tang Ding laughed, shook his head and pointed at Kelisha in the distance and said, "If we just want to defeat the natives, we can send troops up now. Just like you said, just advance step by step."
"However, what we want is to completely annihilate these natives. Although the natives have suffered some casualties, there must still be some who survive. At this time, if we are weak, we will send troops up, and they will just collide with those natives. Although the natives will not
They are our opponents, but they will also cause us certain casualties."
"Since it was me who brought them out, we must try our best to bring them back completely." Tang Ding explained with a smile, then turned to the deputy general and said, "Give me the order to continue firing. I want to completely break the
Their courage makes them never dare to gather together again!”
Yu Qian immediately understood that under the indiscriminate bombardment of cannons, the more people gathered together, the faster they would die.
In order to survive, the natives would definitely run away desperately when they were bombarded by cannons. If the cannons were bombarded for a short time, the natives would not be able to run very far, and they might even gather to resist.
But as long as the artillery bombardment continues for a long time, the natives will definitely run for their lives. When the artillery stops, they will no longer know where they went.
At this time, it would be easy for the Ming army to go up and wipe out the natives.
The roar of artillery continued from morning to afternoon, and Tang Ding finally shouted to stop.
Then they sent the navy to land ashore, with a team of a hundred people, and a hundred thousand troops, like a comb, scraped the Korisha hard.
Wherever he went, no matter the people or animals, he would kill them all regardless of the reason. Even the earthworms would be dug up and chopped into two halves.
In just one day, Tang Ding completely eliminated the rebellion in the Governor's Mansion of Korisha.
Of course, today's Kerisha can no longer see a trace of its original prosperity. Even the magnificent Governor's Palace has now become a ruin.
Just as Tang Ding frowned and looked at the ruins of the Governor's Mansion, that is to say, all the Governor's Mansion was built according to the same model, otherwise Tang Ding would really not have recognized that the ruins in front of him were the former Governor's Mansion.
.
"Commander, we have captured some natives," the deputy general reported.
"Oh?" Tang Ding turned to look at the lieutenant. He was surprised that there were still natives alive at this time.
The deputy general immediately understood what the commander meant, and he quickly explained, "These should be the leaders of the native rebellion. The sergeant did not kill them after catching them. I want to ask the commander to make a decision."
"Then stick them all on the wooden stakes, and give these natives a little warning." Tang Ding didn't even think of looking at the native leader, and decided their fate with a faint wave of his hand.
"Yes!" The deputy general turned and left.
After this battle, although Kelisha was again controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it was also reduced to ruins.
The dead needed to be buried, the port needed to be rebuilt, and the Governor's Palace also needed to be rebuilt. These things were simply more difficult than wiping out the natives, which made Tang Ding anxious for a while.
Fortunately, Yu Qian took the initiative to help him take on these affairs, which made Tang Ding relieved.
But even so, it is not easy to rebuild Korisha.
However, Kelisha still had to be rebuilt. It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to give up the rich mines here, especially the copper mines.
Since Han Du produced the treasure banknotes, the Ming Dynasty no longer minted copper coins. However, the Ming Dynasty's demand for copper continued to increase.
Although the Ming Dynasty no longer used copper to mint coins, the people's love for copper has not diminished at all.
What is copper? In the past, it was called gold. The ritual vessels used for sacrifices were all made of copper.
As the people became more and more prosperous, almost every household liked to use copper to make some ritual utensils, so that they could be displayed when offering sacrifices to their ancestors. Such strong demand did not prevent the price of copper from falling at all, but actually increased.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty's copper mines in Nanyang include more than just the Governor's Palace in Korisha. There are at least a dozen more copper mines like Korisha in the future.
Even Han Du was speechless to the people of the Ming Dynasty after he found out. He originally thought that with the copper mines in Nanyang, the Ming Dynasty would never be short of copper again. Unexpectedly, the people actually bought copper and raised the price. "Master, the artillery stops."
Now, let’s go up and clean it up, right?” Yu Qian asked with a smile.
Tang Ding took a bite of meat, took another sip of wine, and groaned happily.
He didn't answer Yu Qian's words, but looked at him with a smile on his face and asked, "Do you know how the two armies can win in a battle?"
