Chapter 207 The Battle of Wanghai Pot
Similar to Zhang Fu's British Duke, Mu Ying's Qian Duke was also loyal to the old Zhu family and died to the last man. The last Qian Duke Mu Tianbo died in Myanmar with Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang.
The current Duke of Qian State, Mu Sheng, is named Mu Ying, and another named Zhu Ying, who was Zhu Chongba's adopted son. In the ninth year of Hongwu, he followed Deng Yu to fight against Tubo as the deputy commander. He was named the Marquis of Xiping for military merits and was given a letter of iron certificate.
In the 14th year of Hongwu, Mu Ying, Fu Youde and Lan Yu led 300,000 troops to conquer Yunnan. After that, they were guarding Yunnan until they were posthumously named King of Qianning after their death. This is why Zha Mouyong called Duke of Qian as the origin of the origin of the Mu Palace.
Mu Sheng, who inherited the throne of Xiping in the 31st year of Hongwu, had a good relationship with Zhu Laosi, but his ability was slightly worse. Not only was he not as good as the late Qianning King Muying, but he might not even be as good as his half-brother Mu Chun.
In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Laosi appointed Mu Sheng as the deputy general of the left of the Conquest of Yi, and divided his troops to attack Annan with Duke Cheng, Mu Sheng attacked from Yunnan, and Zhu Neng attacked from Guangxi. However, Zhu Neng died of illness on the way. Zhang Fu, who was still the Marquis of Xincheng, took over his post. The two met in Baihe, captured many important towns and states, and captured Li Ji-chan, and were granted the title of Duke of Qian in terms of merit.
Later, when Jiaozhi's Jian Ding rebelled again, Zhu Laosi planned that Mu Sheng had the last time he fought against Jiaozhi, so he simply asked Mu Sheng to take the seal of General Zhengyi to lead the army to fight.
The result was that the two sides fought in Juejiang, and Mu Sheng was defeated. Then Zhang Fu led his army to fight Jiaozhi with Mu Sheng, captured Jian Ding alive and sent him to the capital.
Afterwards, Zhang Fu returned to the capital and kept Mu Sheng searching for Chen Jikuo. Mu Sheng could not capture many battles. Zhang Fu led his army to join Mu Sheng again, chased him to Chameng City, captured Chen Jikuo, and then returned to the court.
In short, Mu Sheng’s ability to fight was not very good. He relied on Zhang Fu’s help several times to gain a foothold in Yunnan and Myanmar.
But Mu Sheng was lucky - the barbarian rebellion in Fuzhou. Mu Sheng led his army to encircle and suppress it. Before he could attack, he sent people to explain the righteousness, which actually made them surrender...
In addition, it is easy to work in Myanmar, and Zhu Laosi never regarded Myanmar as a matter. The so-called transformation of land and return to the earth is actually not as troublesome as imagined, especially when the Ming Dynasty was in its prime.
At this time, there was no so-called national consciousness at all. The Ming Dynasty's military strength was in its most powerful period. If we could obtain the Ming Dynasty household registration, we would become the people of the Ming Dynasty from then on, and enjoy the treatment that we had never dared to imagine before. Those poor ghosts would kill the heads who used to be gods without hesitation.
Therefore, the most troublesome thing in the entire land reform is actually how to spread the news so that those natives know that as long as they kill the heads, they can become the people of the Ming Dynasty.
What causes this trouble is that the language is not clear - the people of Shuntian Prefecture and Yunnan are basically a state where they cannot understand what others say, and they cannot understand what others say. Even if both sides communicate in Fengyang Mandarin, they will not be able to escape the result of talking to each other.
However, there were Mu Sheng in the Ming Dynasty and those soldiers led by the Duke of Qian.
These people have been rooted in Yunnan for decades, and they will not have any pressure to communicate with local local people. They are more reliable than sending personnel alone in the imperial court.
So now when he heard that he was going to build Myanmar, Zhang Fu felt that he might as well call Mu Sheng over and ask.
...
If Zhu Laosi wanted to get Mu Sheng to Shuntian Mansion, he had to send someone to Yunnan to announce the imperial edict. Then Mu Sheng was ready and set off. When Mu Sheng arrived at Shuntian Mansion, it was already mid-June.
At this time, Zhu Laosi no longer cared about Mu Sheng.
In early June of the 17th year of Yongle, the Jinyiwei received news before the Liaodong general Liu Jiang and found out that more than 2,000 Japanese pirates gathered on Wangjia Island southeast of Wanghaiguo, preparing to go to the Jinzhouwei to rob.
So when General Liu Jiang was preparing for the war, Yi Xiao, the envoy sent by Zhu Laosi, also arrived at Wanghaiguo.
Yi Xiao admires Liu Jiang very much.
To be honest, unlike when Zhu Chongba was alive, in Zhu Laosi's era, many generals with great military achievements in the Ming Dynasty were not very famous.
No one can blame others for this matter, but only Zhu Laosi - he always leads the army in person, and when he is anxious, he will copy the knife himself. Almost all the dazzling halos were stolen by Zhu Laosi.
However, there are a few exceptions.
For example, Zhang Fu, who had been expeditioning to Jiaozhi several times, was once called the Great Demon King by the Jiaozhi people. Li Bin, who was also a good player in war, did not have such treatment.
Another example is Liu Jiang, the general of Liaodong.
Liu Jiang, who was born in Suqian, Jiangsu, could not see much of Jiangnan's poetry and painting. On the contrary, Liu Jiang is definitely a cruel person.
He followed Xu Da, a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty, to attack Mongolia, and assisted Zhu Laosi, who was still the King of Yan, to guard Beiping. Later, he followed Zhu Di to rebel against Emperor Jianwen. During the three years of the "Jingnan Battle", he charged forward many times and made great achievements. After Zhu Laosi ascended the throne, he followed the northern expedition to Mongolia and made many contributions.
It can be said that he has fought with all the most capable military strategists in China, from cavalry to infantry and even water wars, and has also seen them one after another, from Arutai in Tatar to Mahamu in Oirat, bravely fought to the death.
After getting along with Yang Shaofeng, Yi Xiao's thoughts began to change without realizing it. Instead, he admired these generals who fought for the country. So when he saw Liu Jiang, Yi Xiao lowered his posture very low, without any noble appearance as a Hanlin.
Liu Jiang also likes Yi Xiao very much - without the sour smell of ordinary scholars, he has a sense of boldness. In addition, he once killed the glorious history of the Japanese Emperor Gongren, saying that he was so proud of. Liu Jiang liked it even more.
On the evening of June 14th, Liu Jiang received a report from the lookout post and found a fire on Wangjia Island in the southeast.
Liu Jiang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, rubbed his hands and smiled, "After waiting for so many days, these short sluts have finally arrived!"
Seeing that Yi Xiao was still calm, Liu Jiang couldn't help but smile and said, "In terms of Yi Hanlin's opinion, how should we be prepared?"
Yi Xiao smiled and said, "Is General Liu going to test me?"
After considering it, Yi Xiao smiled and said, "If the Japanese pirates want to come to Wanghaiguo, they must come by boat. Therefore, General Liu is planning to cut off the retreat and then lift it and annihilate it?"
Liu Jiang clapped his hands and smiled: "If you hadn't been with me all the time, I would have doubted if someone had revealed my arrangements to you.
Yes, that's what I plan. As long as they burn their ships, they won't be able to run away again."
Yi Xiao nodded and said, "General Liu is a good method!"
Liu Jiang smiled modestly and said, "If I really say that, I still admire you even more. I will kill the Emperor of Japan on the Japanese Island. It is really a way to boost my anger! I will boost my anger!"
Yi Xiao said with a gloomy face: "These short sluts have never done much. Previously, these short sluts had robbed North Korea, threw North Korean babies into boiling water for fun, or killed North Korean pregnant women, and guessed that the child in the belly was a man or a woman."
