Chapter 816 New Policy East China Sea

7days ago Historical fiction 7
By the second day, the war had already ended, but the Ming army infantry and cavalry ahead were still pursuing it.Sheng Yong led his men to the east to head, and there was no movement of fighting on the road.

It started raining again in the air, and the rain flew slanted in the wind, making the scene on the plain hazy.This is the second time it has rained today after that morning.

God will not help Japan.Sheng Yong raised his head and felt the raindrops, and sighed with a complicated expression.

Usually, the army that is engaged in war is unwilling to start a war on rainy days.

All kinds of firearms are wet when they are wet, so of course they cannot ignite and fire; even if the crossbow is used in rain, it will be degummed and damaged.

In addition, the ground will be muddy due to rainy days, causing difficulties in marching, so wars are often chosen for sunny days.

But the differences in military differences such as the Ming and Japanese are different.

The Ming army was obviously unwilling to give up their firepower advantage and were forced to fight hand-to-hand combat, while the Japanese army had no firearms.

Rainy weather will cause adverse factors to the Ming army's long-range firearms; the disadvantage of one side on both sides is the advantage of the other side.

Sheng Yong sighed because of this.The idea of ​​the right time, place and people proposed by Sun Bin in ancient times is still effective on today's battlefield.

The dirt roads along the way can be seen everywhere in the muddy, rice fields, and wasteland; the corpses abandoned along the way seem to be continuous on the entire plain of Hakata Bay.

The Ming army's pursuit for dozens of miles must have caused much more casualties than on the battlefield.

The humid air was filled with complex and strange smells, and most of the corpses could be seen in the corpse after a night.

This rich and fertile area of ​​Japan seems to have just experienced a plague or famine, and the scene is very terrifying.

This is the trace left after victory, and Sheng Yong was used to it.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in the hazy sky, a small village appeared in sight.A general suggested: The general can go to the village to shelter from the rain and wait until the rain stops before rushing.

Pei Youzhen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said: Someone had reported that a large camp had been set up in front of him. It would be better for the general to go to the military camp and then repair it.

The central army had received news that the Japanese army had hidden spy assassins in some villages and towns in advance, and Pei Youzhen's reminder was very tactful.Sheng Yong said: What Mr. Pei said is reasonable, so he agreed accordingly.

Everyone continued to ride horses in the mud.All the people were covered in mud and finally arrived at the military camp at noon.

Shortly after Sheng Yong arrived at the place, someone soon found the station in the west and reported the situation in the north of Bofu Mountain.

Yesterday evening, the Japanese army defending the northern part of Bofu Mountain marched westward and attacked the Ming army's camp on the beach. Of course, the Japanese army failed to break through the camp, which was like a bluff and retreated very quickly.

This morning, part of the Ming army's eastern front army occupied the northern defense basement, Xiashanmen and other places in Bofu Mountain, and continued to reinforce and attack westward.

However, the soldiers found that the Japanese army was vulnerable, and most of them surrendered, and some fled into Bofu Mountain.

It was only after interrogating the prisoners that the chief of the Danei family, Tomiami, took a group of warriors and rode south all night, leaving most of them with little officers, so naturally they had no fighting spirit and were about to collapse.

Sheng Yong quickly issued several more military orders in the military camp.

The troops pursued by the Ming army on the front line retreated over the Yawu County siege.

Torch troops to clean the battlefield and search for wounded soldiers and dead bodies of Ming army.

Send people to summon Japanese villagers from all sides to bury Japanese corpses to avoid rotting and plague.

In the central army's tent, Sheng Yong asked the guards to put on paper and ink, and began to consider the words and sentences, and wrote good news and memorials in person.

But before Sheng Yong finished writing, many generals came to the tent one after another, and Liu Sheng also came.

Then Hou Hai, Pei Youzhen and other civil servants, Zhou Quan and other eunuchs also gathered here.

Only when peace has not arrived, I guess I am still pursuing the enemy on the front line.

The Japanese army was vulnerable.Finally, a general couldn't help but start talking. Our army could get on the ship again, advance east from Guanmen Strait, disembark in Namba Kyo, and approach Kyoto.He captured the emperor and the shogunate general and returned to Beijing to offer prisoners.

Sheng Yong glanced at the general and said nothing for a moment.

Sheng Yong was already a Duke, and there was no living king of a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he had no need to be greedy for merit, and just wanted to truly implement the emperor's will.

But the generals under his command were very concerned about military merits, so Sheng Yong could not clearly say that military merits were useless.

Then?Sheng Yong spoke.

The general was stunned for a moment: Then he went to Beijing to offer prisoners to receive rewards.

Sheng Yong said: I will talk about the future.We will go back to offer prisoners after fighting, and Japan's territory should be dealt with in this way.Why did the imperial court spend so much military expenditure?

The general seemed to have never thought about such a long time ago and could not speak.

Sheng Yong said again: There are also big and small daimyos around Kyushu Island. Should I stay in the official army and horses in Hakata Bay?The army has no fixed trend, and as long as the war is fought, there will be various variables. Our army has advanced straight into the sea and land, lengthening the front line and food routes, but it cannot guarantee a quick victory.Even if Kyoto is captured, the Japanese powerful people will definitely retreat eastward; then Kyoto will have to stay in the army.

Another general said: Our army is based in Hakata Bay, and asked the general to send people back to Beijing and asked the court to add reinforcements.

Sheng Yong shook his head and said: Japan is not smaller than Annan. The Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy the Japanese islands by force alone. It would be difficult to set up a large number of post stations and forts without more than 200,000 people and spending a lot of money.

The handsome man is wise!The person who spoke was Pei Youzhen, so I praised Sheng Yong first.

Pei Youzhen continued: If there are many troops stationed in Japan, they can only requisition various fees from the local area, and bullying and seizing, which is very likely to arouse resentment from the local people; over time, it will lead to the subsequent rebellion and war.Such situations have happened many times in Annan.However, after the court assumed military expenses, it was not profitable. Otherwise, the court could still transport the rice from the occupied land back to the capital?

Pei Youzhen said: This situation is inconsistent with the new court policy.Our dynasty once completely occupied Annan Kingdom, and now we have voluntarily abolished the Jiaozhi Administration and returned the government to the Chen family. This is why the court implemented the new policy.For the current plan, Shanda Zheng should refer to the Annan country's example and deploy the affairs of Japan.

The eunuch who sent the Japanese king to the country was sent to the fullest, and immediately agreed: Our family believes that this should also be the meaning of the emperor.

The civil servant Hou Hai also faced Sheng Yong and nodded slightly.

Hou Hai thought about it and suggested quietly: Otherwise, try to negotiate peace again now?

A general immediately said angrily: Anyway, all the civil servants die, are scholars really not afraid of death?

Hou Hai looked at the general and shook his head, smiling slightly, this time it was different.The main force of the Japanese army was defeated and lost more than half. Kyoto was in danger. The Japanese dared to kill the envoys?Could they have pig brains!

This official believes that the richer the Japanese are, the more they want to keep everything they already have.How many residences, fertile shops should those emperors and shoguns in Kyoto be there?We can threaten to attack Kyoto, but we cannot act rashly, so that we can create a threat.

Pei Youzhen said: The next official will discuss it.Our army should temporarily truce and try to contact those in power in Japan.Try to gain control of Ishimiku and Hakata Bay at the lowest cost.Things related to Japan's governance are not simple and easy, and must be discussed in the long run.

The eunuch Zhou Quan said: Get the money first.

Hou Hai and Pei Youzhen looked at each other sideways, and couldn't help but show admiration for this eunuch. His comprehensive sentence was really concise.

Sheng Yong, who had not said anything for a long time, said: If you mess up the great affairs of the emperor, don’t say you ask for me, and you will be grateful if you don’t get punished!

Liu Sheng clasped his fists and said: Please make a decision by the commander.After hearing this, the generals agreed.

Sheng Yong looked back at his left and right and knew the demands of all kinds of people in the Ming army in the big tent.He said calmly: Our army should now stabilize the base camp of Hakata Bay, build forts and docks, and try to contact the Japanese national powers.As for long-term plans, the court should wait for the memorial to be sent to the court and make the decision.

Among the king's orders, this general has the right to act cheaply.At this time, if Japan's Kyoto is willing to give in and seek peace, we should first formulate some conditions.

He returned Qian Xili, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty court, arrested relevant criminals in this case, and handed them over to the Ming Dynasty court for punishment.

To abolish the title of Emperor who was incompatible with the etiquette of Japan, the shogun in power should surrender to the Ming Dynasty and be granted the title of King of Japan.

Since the relationship between the monarch and the ministers was established, the entire Japanese country and the rituals belonged to the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Our dynasty set up the Japanese Governor's Office in Hakata Bay and owns the "Encity City", which is in accordance with the etiquette and law. The Japanese king can also take the position of the Governor's Office as the governor. At the same time, the Japanese should hand over the Ishimi Kingdom and Izumo Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty, and the court appointed Japanese people to protect the Daming Dynasty.

As long as the Japanese country agrees to sign the treaty, the two countries can negotiate peace, and the Ming army will no longer attack the Kyoto area.

The eunuch Zhou Quan looked frowning and thinking: Will the Japanese agree to these conditions?

Sheng Yong said: Let’s give it a try.

Zhou Quan asked: What if they regret it in the future?

Sheng Yong immediately responded: Then wait until Japan repents and then weighs the deal, and writes in public with black and white words, let me stand the ground first.By the way, the Ouchi family is in danger at present. We can talk to the captured Ouchi samurai and contact Ouchi Mori.

At this time, Hou Hai asked: Why did the Grand Marshal mention Izumo Kingdom?

Sheng Yong glanced at him: It is said that Ishijianguo is full of mountains and is too far from Hakata Bay.In the future, silver mines and garrisons will be mined, and the grain will be transferred from Izumo country's fortune, which has a lot of farmland.

Hou Hai suddenly said: So that's what it is, the lower officials are taught.

The tent was quiet for a while, and people seemed to understand that Sheng Yong had already made a decision; the discussion might just go through the motions and comfort everyone.

Otherwise, how could Sheng Yong have thought of the details of mining and grain transport?

People held the salutes and said, "Be sure to follow the order of the commander."

Sheng Yong picked up the brush and looked up and said: After I finished writing the memorial, I will read it for you.If nothing else, the memorial should be sent from the North Korean country to the capital as soon as possible.
