Wang Yue didn't care much, after all, the time traveler was not really a threat to him, it was just forcing him to come up with something more powerful.
So, he didn't care and said calmly, "It doesn't matter, but what are you going to do? Do you want to help me, or stay aside and watch me fight with them."
Ning Yi looked at Wang Yue and said seriously, "If I told you, I would just wait to die."
Wang Yue saw that Ning Yi was actually a little hesitant, so he said solemnly, "Then you'd better stay like this. In fact, for me, as long as you don't go to the Wu Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, even if you go back to business, it won't matter to me.
It doesn’t matter.”
Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Wang Yue said. He thought about it carefully and then said helplessly, "I have lived a few decades longer than you, and I traveled much later. Why come here at this time?"
It's already too late. If it had been earlier, I would have gone to Liao Kingdom to fight against Tang Mingyuan."
Wang Yue looked at Ning Yi and said with a smile, "There are hundreds of thousands of troops led by Fang Xifo on the other side of the river. They lack a military advisor. Do you want to go over and do some business?"
Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion, "Aren't you afraid that I will lead them to grow bigger?"
Wang Yue shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I am kind to you. If you can be ungrateful, you will not be plotted by Tang Mingyuan. Moreover, I am also kind to Fang Xifo and the others. I think they originally belonged to the world.
, I shouldn’t do anything like repaying kindness with enmity.”
In fact, for Wang Yue, it is more appropriate for them to rebel now, as they can be wiped out in one fell swoop without laying hidden dangers for future generations.
After all, Ning Yi is a big boss in vertical and horizontal negotiations, and he immediately thought of the deeper meaning, and he said helplessly, "I can see it, you actually just want me to help you, and keep an eye on Fang Xifo by the way, right?"
"
Wang Yue did not explain. He actually wanted to say that I am invincible in martial arts. The longer I practice, the more powerful I will be. When I can use sword control, what's the use of being good at business?
Moreover, Wang Yue learned a lot of messy skills. He can still make steel for making guns. Neither Ning Yi nor Tang Mingyuan can do it.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and calculations are vulnerable.
However, it was impossible for him to be honest with Ning Yi, so he followed Ning Yi's words and said, "If you want to wait for death, you must have money. You have to make money anyway, so why don't you earn it?"
Ning Yi looked at Wang Yue suspiciously and asked with some uncertainty, "You're not kidding me, are you? Why do I feel like you've done everything that can make money? Is there anything I can make money with?"
As soon as Wang Yue saw a black line on his forehead, he said dissatisfiedly, "There are many ways to make money. I want to go there myself. You went to the other side of the river, mainly to help with ideas. You can make money however you want in your free time."
Ning Yi saw that Wang Yue said it so straightforwardly, so he did not refuse. He just asked Wang Yue how many guards he wanted, and said that he would go to the Xue family to settle accounts.
Early the next morning, Ning Yi, who had broken Mr. Xue's leg, took Xing'er with him and went to find Fang Xifo with Wang Yue's letter.
Fang Xifo originally thought that Wang Yue was worried about him and sent someone to monitor him, so he felt a little unhappy.
But what he didn't expect was that when you came, you didn't participate in their military affairs at all. You quickly bought a group of servants and started a preserved egg and salted duck egg business.
Moreover, this business got out of hand as soon as it started, and it was quickly sold throughout the Ming Dynasty, and even people in the Five Dynasties rushed to buy it.
Ning Yi also took the opportunity to open dozens of small shops in Wu Dynasty, selling these salted duck eggs.
When the news reached the palace, Liu Xigua frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why did you send that loser there? He just sells his salted duck eggs all day long, doing nothing, and gets a military salary.
."
Wang Yue took a look at Liu Xigua and found that this girl was not a suitable informant at all. However, this was good.
He felt that Fang Xifo really couldn't figure out what Ning Yi was doing, but it was obviously not just business.
Fang Xifo ignored Ning Yi at first and couldn't show his face, so he went to Ning Yi to ask questions, so he roundaboutly asked Liu Xigua to ask Wang Yue.
In fact, Wang Yue understood Ning Yi's thoughts. After all, no matter what era, information is the most important.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Yue to tell his subordinates the source of the information at will. He only waited for him to receive the information before giving instructions. It had already been a long time.
This creates an information gap. If the front line can get the news and notify the general as soon as possible to dispatch pathogens or even ambush, it will have a great impact on the war.
Don't underestimate Ning Yi's small shop selling tea eggs. In fact, it has the same effect as Wang Yue's Youjian Inn. They are both places where you can get information.
…
When the time came to the 12th year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty and the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Jin and Liao Dynasties in the north started the war again, and the Wu Dynasty finally ended its disaster relief work in various places and just breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the Wu Dynasty's disaster relief was not because the people in the disaster area got rid of the problem of hunger, but because most of the local people chose to flee.
Their escape direction was not Bianliang, Tokyo, but the towns near the Ming Dynasty.
Because after Wang Yue learned about the disaster in Wu Dynasty, he felt that this was an opportunity to win over people's hearts, so he immediately collected a large amount of food and grass to prepare for the influx of large numbers of victims.
After the disaster victims arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they would allocate some land and register them. From then on, they became people of the Ming Dynasty.
After the first batch of people from the Ming Dynasty settled down, some of them returned to their hometowns to visit relatives. The settlement methods of the Ming Dynasty were also spread to various disaster areas.
As a result, local people fled to the Ming Dynasty one after another. The local officials were unable to provide disaster relief and were afraid that a large number of starvation deaths would affect their official reputation, so they ignored the people's escape.
As a result, for more than a year, millions of people poured into the territory of Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yue accepted all who came.
If there is no land, people will be arranged to work in the royal factories, and the wages they receive will be enough for those people to buy food.
Moreover, after working for six months, they will sign a long-term contract to ensure that they will always have wages.
As a result, in the emerging country of Ming Dynasty, a different class of workers suddenly appeared.
This is different from the employees in the original workshops, because those employees all own land and come out to work just to make some money. Even if the people in these workshops lose their jobs, they will not go home to farm.
starve.
With these professional workers, the military workshops in the Ming Dynasty were operating at full capacity, and weapons warehouses were soon filled.
Seeing that it was time to take action, Wang Yue did not hesitate and decisively took advantage of the river to thaw to launch an attack to destroy the enemy.
Because the Wu Dynasty was in a position where there were enemies on three sides, and there was only one General Dong in the entire Wu Dynasty who could fight against them.
Because of the war between Liao and Jin, General Dong was transferred to Hedong Road, while the defense line near Huainan was handed over to young general Wang Bing.
Although Wang Bing was brave and good at fighting, he was not prepared for a little salty duck egg. Ning Yi easily understood the army's defense.
Therefore, when Fang Xifu received the order to attack, he suddenly received a defense map of the Wu Dynasty. He looked at the detailed layout, looked at the calm Ning Yi, and asked with some confusion, "What have you been doing for more than a year?"
Aren't you selling tea eggs? Where did you get the defense plan? Did His Majesty give it to you?"
Speaking of which, Ning Yi really played with eggs and duck eggs. First, he changed salted duck eggs into preserved eggs, and later he introduced tea eggs, and he made a lot of money.
Therefore, everyone did not take him seriously. If Ning Yi was not sent by Wang Yue, he might have been driven away long ago.
Ning Yi knew it was time to show off his cards, otherwise it would affect future cooperation. He did not take any credit or be arrogant, and said very modestly, "It's all my guys who are capable. I just drew it while walking down the street."
This thing."
Fang Xifu twitched the corner of his mouth, as long as the subordinates of their Yongle army had a strategist like Ning Yi, they would not have conquered a place so quickly back then.
But it wasn't just about these things. He saw that Ning Yi also had real abilities, so he immediately asked Ning Yi for his opinion on the decisive battle.
Ning Yi thought very simply. He said very seriously, "If you learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family, you can sell them to any emperor. We might as well leave the Wu Dynasty's army on our border and attack the canal directly."
Huanglong, take down the Kaifeng Mansion. As long as we are fast enough, we might be able to capture the Emperor of Wu Dynasty."
Regarding Ning Yi's blitzkrieg, Fang Xifu was a little unsure whether he should implement it or not. He hesitated for a long time and then said seriously, "Ning's plan is very good, but this matter is too important. I need to report it to Your Majesty.
, after all, if we lead an assault, someone will have to take over the defense line, right?"
Ning Yi nodded and said with great agreement, "General Fang is thoughtful, as it should be."
After the two discussed it, Fang Xifu wrote a note and sent it to Jinling.
After Wang Yue read it, he analyzed the current situation and it seems that he can really give it a try.
You know, after several improvements to the warship, a steam engine was added to the warship by Wang Yue, who was idle and bored. The speed of the warship was quite fast. It didn't take long to travel from Huainan to Bianliang via the canal.
If we organize hundreds of warships and attack Kaifeng Mansion, no matter whether we can capture Kaifeng or not, we will definitely scare the timid emperor into moving the capital.
Of course, if the sneak attack army is coordinated by large ships equipped with artillery, it is not impossible to attack the city.
The only thing I'm worried about is whether the canal waterway will be concealed, making it impossible for ships to pass through.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue thought that it would be better to walk along the Yellow River, pass through Damingfu and go straight to Tokyo and Bianliang. The soldiers and horses of the Five Dynasties would not have thought that they would take a detour.
After making the decision, Wang Yue slightly changed his battle plan. He gave up his original plan to occupy Jingxiangzhou County.
Instead, continue to hold on to other places, let Yang Xiao lead the soldiers and horses, defeat the defenders on Huainan West Road, and quickly move closer to Kyoto. Let Fang Xifo and Ning Yi lead an army of 100,000, and take a warship to Damingfu to raid Tokyo City.
After the plan was implemented, because Yang Xiao's attack was too sharp and the weapons of the Wu Dynasty were no match for the Ming Dynasty, he was defeated in a single confrontation.
After receiving the news, the Wu Dynasty quickly sent troops southward to stop Yang Xiao's army. At the same time, they ordered the defenders of Xiangyang Prefecture to come to support quickly.
That is to say, a few days after the Imperial Guards left Bianliang, Tokyo, a fleet suddenly appeared outside Bianjing City.
The defenders of Tokyo City were blinded by this surprise attack and had no idea where the enemy was coming from. When Fang Xifu opened the east gate of Tokyo City, Daming Mansion's 800-mile team rushed to reach Tokyo City.
But it was already too late at this time. The young emperor Zhou Zhe had no time to read this urgent document, so he decisively fled from the west gate of Kaifeng Mansion to Xijing.
The defenders of Kaifeng Prefecture were not very effective in combat. After learning that the emperor had run away, some powerful officials and generals also hurried home and ran away with their families.
Others had no intention of fighting and began to surrender one after another. Within two days, Fang Xifo Ningyi led an army to occupy Kaifeng Mansion.
Ning Yi came forward to appease the people of Tokyo City, while Fang Xifu sent Chen Fan to pursue westward, requiring him to rush back within two days.
Ning Yi was left with 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Tokyo City, and then he led the army to the south, and Yang Xiao attacked the Wu Dynasty's soldiers and horses in front and back.
Although the Wu Dynasty's army also had firearms, they were just simple firecrackers. Against the artillery of Wang Yue's troops, they had no intention of fighting.
This war started quickly and ended even faster. It started with the Ming Dynasty attacking Tokyo and ended with the Wu Dynasty moving its capital to Chang'an.
After the war, the Ming Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty formed an east-west confrontation, and the northern part of the Ming Dynasty finally bordered the emerging Jin Kingdom.
The army of the Wu Dynasty was busy building defense lines on the new border, while the Ming Dynasty was busy digesting the newly received land. It still used the original method of attacking local tyrants to divide the land. Of course, those families with better reputations were still preserved.
The fighting in the south was lively, and the fighting in the north between Jin and Liao was the same. No one had time to care about others.
The Ming Dynasty cleaned up the remnants of the Wu Dynasty in the territory. When the army began to march westward, the Jin Kingdom had just destroyed the Liao Kingdom. They did not rush to digest the land they had just acquired. Instead, they sent troops to Yanjing to take back the land bought by the Wu Dynasty.
of states and counties.
But what they faced was no longer the cowardly Wu Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty with cannons. The soldiers and horses that raided Yanjing, and Yang Jian who was ordered to garrison here, were all wiped out under the city of Yanjing.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Jian asked his good brother Yang Kang to go north to seize the Great Wall defense line, and he himself attacked Datong Prefecture.
The Kingdom of Jin did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would be so violent in fighting, nor did they expect that the troops and horses sent to attack would fail so quickly. By the time they reacted, Yang Jian had already arrived at the city.
Soon, the defenders of Datong Prefecture also experienced the power of fire. The heavy city gate was opened with just one cannonball, and the defenders on the city wall were killed and injured in pieces by bombs. It only took three to five days.
In a short time, Yang Jian and Yang Kang pushed the border with the Kingdom of Jin beyond the Great Wall.
When Wang Yue received the news, he was not surprised at all. He was prepared to make a surprise attack when he was victorious, and left enough gunpowder for the two brothers Yang Jian and Yang Kang.
With the northern defense line stabilized, the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition went more smoothly. Yang Xiao even captured the escaping Emperor Zhou Zhe of the Wu Kingdom in Xingyuan Prefecture, as well as many of the emperor's relatives who accompanied him.
The rest of the matter was simple. Yang Xiao sent people to take Zhou Zhe's imperial decree and captured the land of Bashu without any bloodshed.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty replaced the Wu Dynasty, occupied all the land of Wu Chao, and confronted the Jin Kingdom from north to south.
