Acting in this way will naturally only make Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han truly intimate, and there will be no fight for power that has existed in history.
This also means that Ming Dynasty will have the help of Zhu Han, a genius, for at least a few decades.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to hear everyone's praise.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, having someone praise Zhu Han made him happier than praising him himself.
"You have understood it, so we can rest assured. All these new policies will be arranged by the Seventh Five-Year Plan, so that all people in the Ming Dynasty can benefit from the new life!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with confidence.
Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others expressed that they would wholeheartedly support His Royal Highness in implementing the New Deal.
These people are all capable ministers who have left their names in the history of the country. They can propose more detailed and feasible regulations based on their own experience in regard to the general rules formulated by Zhu Hanlai.
With the help of Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Shi Naian and others, the Ming Dynasty's New Life Movement officially began to be promoted in the sixth year of Hongwu.
The first place to be promoted is Yingtianfu, Suzhoufu, Hangzhoufu, Guangzhoufu and other densely populated political and economic places.
The leading effect of big cities is very significant.
In less than a month, the Ming Dynasty New Life Movement's policies on food, clothing, housing and transportation were fully rolled out in these big cities.
In particular, food, which Chinese people care about most, can be deeply rooted in people's hearts when promoted.
After being preached over and over again by grassroots officials, everyone has fully understood the dangers of raw water and raw meat.
These big cities are basically in the south. Every year, many people suffer from serious diseases because of eating raw fish and raw water, and many people even die because of it.
One of the most significant results brought about by the Ming Dynasty's New Life Movement was that the glass kettles produced by Yingtianfu were sold out.
This kind of glass kettle uses double-layer glass, uses an air extractor connected to a water wheel to remove the air in the interlayer, and then forms a rudimentary thermos bottle.
Because when officials of the Ming Dynasty were demonstrating the dangers of raw water, the boiled water for comparison was placed in this thermos. Many people remembered this magical object.
"Drinking boiled water will cure all diseases!"
Unknowingly, this famous saying from later generations appeared among the common people in the Ming Dynasty.
The New Life Movement of the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, and the conquests and conquests in all directions naturally could not be stopped.
After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, territory has been expanded almost every year, and the sixth year of Hongwu was no exception.
Xu Da, the chief general in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, has reported that all of Sichuan has been occupied by the Ming army, and Chen Youliang's army in Yunnan has fled without a trace.
There were many chieftains, large and small, left in the local area, each occupying the mountain as king. Some of them resisted and some obeyed the arrival of the Ming army, and they did not form a unified resistance force.
Major wars throughout the southwest will basically never happen again.
In the Baishan and Heishui areas of Liaoyang, the local Jurchen tribes were recruited again and again by the Ming army. The young and middle-aged men were basically recruited by the Ming court to fight against the Mongols in the northwest and grasslands.
The large amount of land left in the Northeast became the official farming base of the Ming army.
With the Dalian court's unswerving support, more than 100,000 northern farmers went to Liaoyang Province to cultivate land.
According to Zhu Han's estimation, in another 30 years, the number of more than 100,000 farmers cultivating wasteland will become 1 million.
In Lanzhou Xingdusi in the northwest, the Ming army stationed there easily defeated Wang Baobao's large-scale invasion. The surrounding Mongolian tribes were completely convinced by the Ming Dynasty. These Mongolian tribes even took the initiative to kidnap the envoys sent by Wang Baobao.
The Ming army asked for merit and reward.
After stabilizing the situation in Lanzhou, a steady stream of food supplies and commodities from the Central Plains region poured into this traditional commercial corridor, and the local people's livelihood and administration were very good.
The Wang Baobao forces entrenched in the Tianshan area will probably never dare to touch the tiger of Lanzhou Xingdusi again.
However, the distance between Lanzhou Xingdusi and the Central Plains is really far away, and it will take some time to stock up on various supplies. It is not yet possible to launch a strategic attack on Wang Baobao in the Tianshan area, and can only maintain a stable defensive posture for the time being.
Wang Baobao, who holds the dual flags of the Great Mongolia and the Yuan Dynasty, is already in such a mess, and the other Mongolian tribes on the grassland are naturally even more honest.
The Ming Dynasty implemented a strict division of pastures on the grasslands, focusing on attacking those Mongolian tribes that dared to take the lead. For tribes that were willing to actively cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, they took the initiative to provide them with mutual preferential treatment.
When Wang Baobao led the Mongolian forces to flee, he took away a large number of people on the grassland. Now there are fewer people and more land on the grassland, and no threatening forces will be formed in a short time.
Moreover, Zhu Han has formulated other management policies for the various tribes on the grassland. Even if the population on the grassland increases in the future, Buddhism and recruitment can be used to digest a large number of young and strong labor forces on the grassland, so that these nomadic tribes will not be able to produce people to resist the Ming Dynasty.
strength.
Therefore, the main military offensive in the sixth year of Hongwu was concentrated on the Japanese country.
The Japanese Southern Dynasties had completely become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no difficulty in attacking the Japanese Northern Dynasties militaryly.
Therefore, it was enough for the generals responsible for the Ming Dynasty's offensive in Japan to rely on Mao Gui and Guo Zixing.
Japan, Kyoto.
The general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshitsune, frowned and was discussing an existential crisis with a group of Japanese daimyo.
"The Ming army has already begun to attack us!"
"We must defend the glory of Amaterasu!"
"Everyone will send troops with me tomorrow to resist the Ming army. As long as we can defeat the Ming army, we can capture Shijian, and the gold and silver mountains will be ours!"
The Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom far surpassed the Southern Dynasty in terms of strength.
Under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom had given up the so-called title of emperor and became an external title of the Ming Dynasty, just like Annan, Goryeo and other tributary countries.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Muromachi shogunate in the Northern Dynasties refused to give in.
Now that the Ming army is approaching, Ashikaga Yoshizen decides to fight to the death.
"With the blessing of Amaterasu, we will definitely defeat the Ming Kingdom!"
"Amaterasu, the great god who spreads martial arts all over the world, is irresistible!"
"General, we will all follow you!"
These local lords of the Japanese country were all local emperors.
They all know that once the Ming army wins, they will lose all power.
Therefore, this battle not only represents the Muromachi shogunate, but also represents themselves.
"Okay! Then we will mobilize a hundred thousand troops. If we don't defeat the Ming Kingdom, then we will go to see Amaterasu!"
Ashikaga Yoshizen stood up suddenly, pulled out his sword, chopped off a piece of the table corner, and continued speaking while looking at everyone.
"Whoever dares to cower in the face of battle will end up like this table!"
The Japanese daimyo below all knelt on the ground seriously, expressing their determination to go to war with the shogun by kneeling.
The Muromachi shogunate in the Northern Dynasties of Japan mobilized an army of 100,000, which was an unprecedented scale in the history of Japan.
Although most of these 100,000 troops are worthless peasants, they all believe that no matter how powerful the Ming army is, they cannot defeat them!
Information about the Japanese war preparations in the Northern Dynasties quickly reached the ears of Guo Zixing and Mao Gui.
However, Guo Zixing and Mao Gui were not intimidated by the 100,000-strong army at all.
"Hahaha, these Japanese little devils actually think that a hundred thousand troops can resist us!" After Guo Zixing got the news, his first reaction was to laugh.
Guo Zixing was the adoptive father of the Empress of Ming Dynasty. He was half the head of the country and his status was quite respected.
After he came to Japan, he had great power and could kill and seize the officials and people of Japan. It was really refreshing. Moreover, he also participated in a lot of shares in the Iwami Silver Mine, which can be said to be a lot of money.
Guo Zixing
Although the number of soldiers and horses under the army was only more than 10,000, they were all strong soldiers and horses. The cavalry among them all rode tall and strong Hexi war horses. They were not comparable to the donkey-like cavalry of the Japanese cavalry.
In addition to the cavalry, all the infantry under Guo Zixing also have new plate armor purchased from Yingtian, which is basically immune to damage from all light weapons.
"What King Chuyang said makes sense. I think these Japanese people are just gathering together to die. It saves us the trouble of dealing with them one by one!"
Mao Gui on the side said with a smile.
As an early general of the Red Scarf Army, Mao Gui's skills on the battlefield have long been confirmed.
He is not even afraid of the arrogant Mongolian cavalry, let alone some Japanese dwarf.
The Ming Dynasty's army in Japan mainly consisted of two parts.
Part of it is the guard of Chuyang King Guo Zixing, because Guo Zixing is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty and can have his own army.
However, all expenses for Guo Zixing's army must be borne by himself.
The other part of the army belonged to the Ming Dynasty, directly under the Ming Haidong Protectorate, and was led by Mao Gui, the Grand Protector.
Although Mao Gui was old and well-known, he suffered heavy losses due to attacks by the Liaoyang Mongols in his later period. If Zhu Han had not sent people to rescue him, he would have died in Goryeo long ago.
Therefore, compared with Guo Zixing, Mao Gui is just an ordinary noble person.
Mao Gui was very concerned about this action to destroy the Japanese country, because this might be his last chance to make a great contribution.
Mao Gui is now just a marquis with three thousand households. If he can destroy the Japanese country this time and successfully complete the tasks assigned by the court, he should be able to move forward and be crowned a Duke.
The Ming army gathered 15,000 troops this time, of which 5,000 were led by Mao Gui, the other 5,000 were Guo Zixing's guards, and the remaining 5,000 were locals recruited from the Japanese country.
Although the Japanese people are short in stature, they are ferocious in nature, so they are most suitable as running dogs and eagle dogs.
Compared with the Koryo Eight Banners composed of Koryo people, the Japanese Imperial Alliance Army under Mao Gui had much higher combat effectiveness.
Soon the Ming army and the Japanese army launched a decisive battle in the Kyoto area.
Late summer, July.
Wajima, central Kyoto.
All the lords and nobles of the Japanese country knew that the Ming Dynasty implemented direct rule in the Japanese country. Once the Ming army won, they would lose all their land and privileges, so this battle was also a decisive battle related to the life and death of their family.
Ashikaga Yoshiki of the Muromachi shogunate, now wearing a red armor, stood majestically in front of the army.
This time the Japanese pirates mobilized a real army of 150,000.
Although most of them are farmers with no fighting ability, the flags all over the mountains and plains still make this army look very powerful.
The terrain of the Japanese country is rugged, and only the Kyoto area is a relatively broad plain. In order to give full play to the numerical advantage of its own troops.
Ashikaga Yoshiki, the general of the Muromachi shogunate, took the initiative to abandon the hilly terrain in the west of Kyoto, allowing the Ming army to penetrate deep into this area of Kyoto.
"General, give the order, the Ming army has appeared!" As the number one general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ogura Masatakero took the initiative to ask for a battle from Ashikaga Yoshihan.
"Matakero, lead your army. No one can attack first without my order!" Ashikaga Yoshiki said with a serious face.
"Hi!"
Ogura Masatakero had to obey the order quickly.
The Japanese army was mainly composed of infantry. Most of these infantry did not have any decent armor. A set of armor made of bamboo and animal skin was considered quite decent.
Only high-ranking generals like Ogura Masatakero had a set of iron armor that was as heirloom-like.
But to be honest, the iron armor worn by Ogura Shintakero actually has very low protective effect. According to the current equipment standards of the Ming army, it is already inferior.
As for most of the other infantry, they only had an iron-tipped spear and a tattered linen suit.
Just cloth clothes.
The Japanese cavalry is the most precious thing in the army, and they are all composed of high-level warriors.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the equipment of these Japanese pirate cavalry is also very backward, and the Japanese pirates’ bow and arrow production technology is seriously insufficient. The bows and arrows used are long, heavy, and weak in power. The cavalry has nothing at all.
The ability to ride and shoot.
However, the shortcoming of all this is that in the face of a ten-fold difference in numbers, the Japanese pirates, large and small, are still full of confidence.
The news that the 150,000 Japanese pirates were waiting in formation on the Kyoto plain quickly reached Guo Zixing and Mao Gui's army.
"These Japanese pirates can put out 150,000 people in full order, so they are quite capable!" Guo Zixing said calmly.
Guo Zixing raised an army to revolt in Haozhou many years ago, and his maximum number of troops was only 20,000.
This is not to say that he is unwilling to have more soldiers and horses under his command, but Guo Ziqing clearly knows that the more people there are, the more difficult it will be to command. Just marching and camping every day with more than 100,000 people can put the general into extraordinary situations.
In the midst of busyness.
Now the Japanese pirates on the opposite side were not only able to mobilize more than 100,000 people, but also placed these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the battlefield, which surprised Guo Zixing.
"The hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates are just a bunch of dwarfs and are of no use at all! Dad, let's just go ahead!" Guo Tianci said at the side.
Among Guo Zixing's sons, only Guo Tianci was the most capable, and he had also studied in the military academy of Yintian in the Ming Dynasty.
In this attack on the Japanese pirates, Guo Tianci was actually the actual commander of Guo Zixing's army.
"Tianci is right, we don't need to be afraid. These Japanese pirates can bring out more than 100,000 people, which is their limit!" At this time, Mao Gui on the side also said with a smile.
Clearly taking advantage of his cavalry, he quickly mastered all the marching formations of the Japanese pirates. The latest website:
