On the pier of Tianjin Port, large fortune ships and sailing ships are arranged neatly. On the pier, teams of Ming soldiers wearing armors made by Miyun Iron Factory and holding sharp blades made by Miyun Iron Factory are arranged neatly.
Everyone is in high spirits.
Another war was fought, and this time it was to attack the Japanese country and wipe out the Japanese pirates and pirates.
Compared with the grassland people, the Japanese pirates and other pirates are nothing at all. The Ming people have never taken them seriously, not to mention that the current Ming army is different from the past.
Not only did the equipment have to be replaced with cannons from shotguns, but even cotton armor could not be achieved before, but now everyone is wearing armor produced by Miyun Iron Works.
The weapons in his hands were of no use in the past issued by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court. Now, they are all elite weapons forged by the Miyun Iron Works. There are also a large number of cannons and firepower on the big ships.
pistol.
It can be said that the weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty's army are definitely the top, most first-class, and best weapons and equipment in the world in this era.
Weapons and equipment are nothing. What really makes these Ming soldiers excited is that they can get promoted and make a fortune. Last year, when they killed the steppe Tatars, the head of each Tatar was worth 100 taels of silver. Many people became rich overnight. After a big battle, one
This person has achieved a comeback.
Now that the command of the Ming Dynasty's army has returned to the hands of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Emperor told the soldiers that military pay will be paid in full every month directly through the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. Every soldier can receive it every month.
Receive your military salary directly from the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, which avoids the deduction of military salary by superior officers.
Through these things, everyone has seen hope and the hope of being a soldier. With this hope, the energy and spirit are completely different. Everyone is full of energy and ready to try. They wish they could fly to the Japanese country now.
, massacre in all directions.
In this expedition to Japan, Emperor Hongzhi did not dispatch too many troops. He mobilized 40,000 troops from the border troops, plus 10,000 new troops from the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy in Tianjin, to make up the number of 50,000.
.
The reason for mobilizing the border troops is because the border is now very peaceful. Last year, the little prince's army was completely wiped out, which shocked the entire grassland and deeply frightened the grassland people. The grassland people were so vital that they did not dare to go even half a step closer to the border.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in mobilizing 40,000 border troops now.
The main purpose of the 10,000 new troops is to transfer them to the Japanese side to join forces. Although they have only been trained for more than two months, an army that has not seen blood is always an immature army. Let them go to the Japanese side to try it out.
Test the waters and see how this new army fares.
At this time, at the dock where the New Army is located, 10,000 New Army soldiers are wearing uniform and brand-new New Army uniforms, and the ranks are neatly arranged. Each of the New Army soldiers is carrying the nearest flintlock musket, and there is a musket in front of it.
There is a bright bayonet.
There was a trace of expectation on each of the young faces, and in the eyes, you could also see a trace of fear deep in their hearts.
There are too many things like war, and there are too many uncertainties. No one knows what will happen. When you go to the battlefield, you must be prepared to sacrifice.
"Mr. Zhang, it's time to go~"
Poluhou Yang Yun, wearing a suit of armor, came to Zhang Mao with determined steps and said.
"Let's go~"
Zhang Mao nodded and ordered.
During this expedition to Japan, Emperor Hongzhi appointed British Duke Zhang Mao as the commander-in-chief of the army, and Poluhou Yang Yun as the vanguard general.
"Yes~"
Poluhou replied respectfully, and then gave an order, and 50,000 troops began to board the ship in an orderly manner. At this time, there was no sound in the entire Tianjin port except the sound of these troops boarding the ship.
Outside the Tianjin port, there was a sea of people. Countless people watched the army march out, and everyone was extremely excited, and they were finally going to use force against the Japanese country.
"Let's go~"
Zhang Mao watched the army board the ship and said to Liu Jin beside him.
Originally, Liu Jin did not have to go to the Japanese country, but how could Zhang Mao let Liu Jin go, so there was no way. Liu Jin had to follow the army to the Japanese country. Zhang Mao gave Liu Jin the position of a dog-headed military advisor.
Liu Jin looked back at the Tianjin Port behind him, and at a glance he saw his two beautiful wives bidding him farewell with tears in their eyes. Xu Waner was already pregnant and would give birth in two months. Liu Jin estimated that
There is definitely no way I can catch up.
In my heart, I couldn't help but write this down hard for Zhang Mao. To settle the score in the future, I will definitely cheat Zhang Mao again in the future.
"Dang~dang~"
Soon, in the Tianjin port, bells began to ring continuously, and large ships slowly left the port. Soon a huge team formed on the sea, sailing toward the east in a mighty and powerful manner.
When the 50,000-strong army went out for battle, the Ming court directly requisitioned thousands of large ships. These ships were not only used to transport the 50,000-strong army, but also needed to transport even larger supplies.
The amount of food, gunpowder, horses, grain, grass, etc. required by the 50,000-strong army was very large, and in the future, the trading houses in Tianjin would continuously transport it to the Japanese side.
Thousands of big ships are out on an expedition across the sea. When you are among them, you can see at a glance that there are ships everywhere and thousands of sails competing. People can't help but get excited. They are full of enthusiasm for book business, scolding Fang Qiu, pointing out the country, and inspiring words.
The dung was used by thousands of households.
On the "Huo Qubing" where Liu Jin was riding, Liu Jin stood on the deck, holding on to the railing, looking at the scene on the sea, and this poem by a great man of later generations also appeared in his mind.
When I read this poem before, I could never understand the artistic conception. Now looking at this mighty army, Liu Jin was finally able to understand some of it.
"To teach Japan a lesson, the Japanese army actually sent out 50,000 troops. It really felt like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."
Soon, Liu Jin's thoughts returned to the battle against Japan.
As the dog-headed military advisor of a large army, Liu Jin was also very panicked. Whether in later generations or this time, Liu Jin had no military experience, let alone being a dog-headed military advisor for an army of 50,000 people.
If this is done well, it will naturally leave a name in history. If it is not done well, future generations may be scolded as Zhao Kuo, Li Jinglong and the like.
A layman guiding an expert is one of the most taboo things in the military.
So Liu Jin also attracted Wang Shouren this time. Although Wang Shouren was young and a scholar, he was definitely a military genius.
Historically, King Ning Zhu Chenhao rebelled. Wang Shouren was the governor of Jiangxi and Gansu at the time. He directly detained King Ning in Nanchang. Before the imperial army arrived, King Ning's rebellion had been quelled by Wang Shouren. From this alone, we can know that Wang Shouren was there.
His military talents are definitely not inferior to those of famous generals in history.
Take Wang Shouren with you, if something really happens, at the critical moment, it will definitely not go wrong to listen to the opinions of this great man of history. As for myself, well, I should be sensible and read more and listen more. At most, I will combine some of what later generations will know.
Some tips from military knowledge.
However, Liu Jin felt that there should be no problem for the Ming Dynasty to easily crush the Japanese country by dispatching an army of fifty thousand armed to the teeth, coupled with the advanced artillery and muskets produced by the Miyun Iron Works.
At this time, the Japanese Kingdom was at the beginning of the Warring States Period. The Japanese kings of the Japanese Kingdom had long ago lost control over various parts of the Japanese Kingdom. They did not have any actual power, and the various daimyo were divided into separate parties.
During the Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom, although the Japanese people of later generations boasted that it was an era where heroes emerged in large numbers, in Liu Jin's view, the Japanese Kingdom was too small. It was said to be the Warring States Period, but in fact it was just one of the great names of various places.
It's just a village fight.
Many times, a battle only involves a few hundred people, and a battle involving thousands of people is considered a major war. As for tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people fighting, there were only a few battles throughout the Warring States Period.
The daimyo in various places are divided into separate factions and are hostile to each other. This is definitely a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. When the 50,000-strong army arrives in the Japanese country, it will definitely go sideways and can easily overthrow any daimyo in the Japanese country.
"The Japanese state is still the best during the Warring States Period. It is the best state to separate and divide the various regions. We must find ways to maintain such a state."
"In order to deepen the control and intervention of Japan in the future, it is best to use this opportunity to define the sphere of influence of various daimyo in Japan."
Liu Jin quickly thought about how to deal with the Japanese country in the future. It was best to keep the Japanese country divided. Once the Japanese country was unified, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.
"Maintaining the division of the Japanese state, and at the same time promoting Chinese culture and dual-management, can we fully ensure a safe environment around the Ming Dynasty."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin knew what to do next. He was not good at fighting a war, but after the war, Liu Jin felt that he was relatively good at negotiating and planning the Japanese country.
After all, there are too many cases in future generations for you to refer to and learn from.
