Chapter 1350 Nanyang Wind and Rain - How did the reinforcements come
"How could it be you?" Zhu Gaoxu said to the person in front of him in great surprise. The man in front of him was about 27 or 27 years old, about the same age as Gao Xu, but he had not yet grown a beard. He glanced sideways and saw that he had brought
All the 'soldiers' had entered the city, and the city gate was about to close. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Gaoxu with a smile: "Who do you think it will be?"
"Of course I thought it was the second batch of reinforcements from Bamalan." Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "Why did you suddenly appear here? This place is too far away from your guarding place, how could you come here?
Is it His Majesty's will?" He finally guessed.
"Of course it is His Majesty's will." The man smiled again: "Without His Majesty's will, how could I dare to come here without authorization?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked: "What did His Majesty send you to do? Why did you suddenly appear near Semarang City? Besides, these are the soldiers you brought? They are not even as good as the soldiers who transport baggage!"
Looking at these people passing by the house, Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised: "You scared the Majapahit away with such soldiers? If Wigrama Vardana saw the truth and separated a few troops, he could
To defeat these people, there is no need to withdraw troops and return to camp."
"Don't think that our soldiers in Taiwan Town are like this!" The man explained: "These people are not our soldiers in Taiwan Town. They are not even soldiers of the Army Division."
This man was Cao Che, the second son of Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, who was the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town and was married to the eldest princess of Jiangdu. He came to Semarang City in compliance with Yun's order.
After Yun learned from Xiao Zhuo that there was a vassal in Nanyang who was going to war, he immediately ordered the Jinyiwei in Guangdong to investigate the matter and report it to him, and the message was sent to Guangzhou City at an accelerated speed of 400 miles. Thousands of Jinyiwei in Guangdong watched it.
After receiving the secret order and seeing the document representing four hundred miles of urgency, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately wrote the details he knew into a secret report, and sent it back to Guangzhou in four hundred miles of urgency. In fact, Zhu Gaoxu united various vassal states to attack Majapahit.
He has known about the matter for a long time. Not only him, but also the well-informed people on the ground in Guangdong know that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Xian came to Guangdong to borrow military expenses for the war. How could they not know. But in the spirit of 'One more thing is worse than the other'.
In accordance with the principle of "One Less Thing", Nanyang is not a place under their jurisdiction, and no one has reported it. Now that the emperor has asked, of course he must explain it truthfully.
After seeing the report, Yun was a little angry at the Yamen in Guangdong. The chief envoy and the inspector in Guangdong were just the chief envoys, and this matter had nothing to do with them.
The Division also has no relevant functions. However, it would be inappropriate for the Nanyang Navy stationed in Guangdong not to report the information to the Jinyiwei.
But they have not violated any regulations, and Yun will not punish them. In his opinion, punishing those who exploit loopholes in the court's laws does not make much sense. What is more important is to plug the loopholes, or completely demolish the loopholes and build new ones.
On the one hand. So he will not punish the officials of Nanyang Navy and Guangdong Jinyiwei Qianhu, but he will think about how to plug the loopholes, and then discuss with the ministers after he has the regulations.
But before that, he gave an order to Cao Che, asking him to lead thousands of soldiers and horses in Taiwan Town, and also assigned him temporary jurisdiction over a part of the Nanyang Navy to inspect Majapayi. Although Zhu Gaoxu was very useful in military affairs
He is capable of fighting and will not fight an uncertain battle, but wars are full of chance after all, and the coalition led by Su Fan may also lose the war. Yun asked Cao Che to lead troops to inspect, if Zhu Gaoxu and others really
After the battle was defeated, he helped them withdraw and warned Majapahit not to pursue.
He also ordered an inventory of the prisoners held in prisons near the capital at this time, and named seven or eight thousand people, who were sent to Nanyang with the navy to distribute among the vassal kings.
Cao Che was quite happy after receiving the order. It has been seven years since he came to Taiwan in the second year of Jianye. During this period, in addition to returning to the capital once and going to Guangdong, he has been staying in Taiwan. No matter how beautiful the scenery is,
He was tired of it, and heard that the customs in Nanyang were very different from those in Taiwan, so he was very interested to take a look. Anyway, everything in Taiwan Town was already on track at this time, so there was no need for him to worry too much. What's more, Yunying was still there.
.
Yunying was reluctant. There might be accidents in the war, not to mention there were typhoons in Nanyang this season. She didn't want Cao Che to take risks, even small risks, to go to Nanyang. But this was the emperor's order after all, so Yunying complained.
After a few words, I could only pack up his luggage for Cao Che and send him to the dock.
Because he did not know the current progress of the war, Cao Che decided to lead the fleet to the easternmost section of the north coast of Java Island, sailing from east to west, and at the same time arrested fishermen to inquire about the situation. Anyway, no navy of any country in the Southeast Asia was
He commanded the adversaries of this navy.
The defenders of the Majapahit city who learned of such a fleet along the way were frightened, thinking that the Ming Dynasty had indeed sent troops to cooperate with Zhu Gaoxu and other vassal states to attack them. On the one hand, they stepped up the defense of the city, and on the other hand, they sent troops to inform them of the threat.
Gramavardhana.
But at this time, the ocean current was from east to west, and the wind was from southeast to northwest. In addition, it was the rainy season on Java Island and the roads were very difficult to travel. They did not dare to use boats, so the speed of message delivery was not as fast as boats.
The team runs fast.
Today, Cao Che led the fleet to the vicinity of Semarang City, and immediately reported to the soldiers: "Sir, there seems to be a war on the shore."
"Zhu Gaoxu has already led his troops to fight here?" Cao Che said with a smile: "The battle was good. Give me a clairvoyance and bring the ship slightly closer to the land. I'll take a look."
Then he ordered: "Search the beach to see if there are any fishermen hiding, and catch them for questioning."
But when he took a look at the shore with his clairvoyance, he found that something was wrong. Why was the military flag of the Su Fan flying on top of the city? Why was the flag of the Majapahit Kingdom flying in the military camp below the city? Even if Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to capture the city of Semarang
, Wigrama Vardana wanted to recapture the city, why did Majapahit’s soldiers come from the east?
Out of curiosity, Cao Che observed carefully. It didn't matter. He found that there were very few guards at the top of the city, only about 10% of the Manju Boyi troops attacking the city below. Moreover, the situation was very critical, and the city was about to be lost.
Cao Che immediately became anxious. He had just interrogated the Majapayi people who had escaped from the city and learned that Su Fan's troops were said to be led by King Su himself, which meant that Zhu Gaoxu was in the city at this time. If the city fell,
Zhu Gaoxu was captured or committed suicide or was killed. This was something that Yun could never allow. Cao Che could not have foreseen the consequences. If Yun knew that he was watching when Semarang City fell, what consequences would he have?
It’s hard to say. Whether it’s for Daming’s face or for his own future, he must rescue Zhu Gaoxu.
But he had no plan to engage in a land war with the Majapahit people, not to mention that Yun did not allocate him a land division. At this time, there were less than 3,000 troops and horses he brought from Taiwan on board, and there were Majapahit soldiers under the city.
There are at least 50,000 people. If these two thousand people can play a big role in the city, suddenly appearing outside the city will not be able to break the siege of Semarang City.
Cao Che anxiously walked up and down the deck, trying to think of a way, but he couldn't. At this moment, a general suddenly said: "Chief soldier, aren't there seven or eight thousand prisoners in the ship behind? Let them all out.
They were given a wooden stick and pretended to be a land force; there were also sailors, and together they could pull out two to three thousand people, and now there were thirteen to four thousand people, enough to relieve the siege of Semarang City."
"How can those criminals be released? How can they obey orders even if they are given weapons? What's more, even if they obey orders, ten thousand people who have never been trained cannot defeat a thousand people. Your method is inappropriate." Cao Che
road.
"General Soldier, this is Nanyang. The guards sometimes talk to the prisoners, so they know that this is Java Island. Even if they resist, they will not be able to return to the Central Plains. They may even be captured by the Javanese as slaves. It is better to
After being assigned to the vassal kings, they can serve as soldiers and common people. What's more, you can tell them that as long as you solve the siege of Semarang City, it will be considered a meritorious service, which will be very beneficial to establishing a foothold in the vassal country in the future. As long as you communicate with them
Present facts and be reasonable, most people know what to do."
"As for them not being soldiers, Commander-in-Chief, you know that, but the Majapahit people on the shore don't know that. If a thousand soldiers and horses are sent to the front, the Majapahit people will think that more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are coming to relieve the siege, and they can only retreat.
.”
"You are trying to scare them. If you are found out, not only will the siege of Semarang City be unable to be solved, but many more soldiers will be involved. It is too risky." Cao Che said.
"Commander, there is no other way now but to take the risk!" the man shouted.
Cao Che thought for a while, but still couldn't think of a better way. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous, he couldn't delay any longer and could only follow the general's strategy.
Seeing that more than 10,000 people suddenly disembarked from the fleet that had been parked on the shore, and the leading team was armed with steel knives and long bows, rushing towards the camp of his army in a neat line, Wigrama Vardhana took
Although they were extremely unwilling to do so, they could only order the siege to be stopped. In order to capture the city of Semarang as soon as possible, the Majapahit people also suffered huge losses. Each unit took turns to fight and lost a lot of troops, but they could not defeat the new force; and seeing the support troops arriving, they
Vigrama Vardhana could clearly feel that morale was declining, the generals had no fighting spirit, and the soldiers had no will to fight, so they had no choice but to retreat.
After seeing the Majapayi soldiers retreating, Cao Che breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called for the city gate to be opened for them to enter. After all, the people he led were mainly prisoners. After a long time, it was revealed that the truth was false, and things would not be good.
Zhu Gaoxu also immediately ordered a city gate to be opened to let them in, and went to greet the generals in person. He was very surprised when he saw Cao Che the first time, but he endured it until everyone entered the city, and pulled him to
After walking to a house on the roadside, I asked and found out the reason.
