Wanli 1592

Chapter 1176 The curtain of conspiracy slowly opened
Zheng Ying is very interested in the upcoming battle against the Wa Kingdom, but obviously, this battle has nothing to do with him.

He is the head coach of the Southwest Corps, so naturally, the area in charge is the entire Southwest region, not the Wa country far to the east.

Conquering the Japanese kingdom requires sailors to cross the sea, so who will be the main player in this battle, obviously, first of all, it is inseparable from Jiang Dahai.

"So it seems that this battle was arranged for Jiang Dahai?"

"It's not just Jiang Shuai."

Han Zhuo shook his head: "Wa's navy was wiped out by His Majesty's army seven years ago, and now the combined navy of the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans has less than a hundred warships, which is not Daqin water at all. The opponent of the division, although the navy still has the Marine Corps, but the combat power of the Marine Corps alone cannot cope with the Wa Kingdom, which is conservatively estimated to have 20 troops.

In this battle, Commander Jiang is cooperating, transporting troops to the Wa country, sending marines to join the battle, and intercepting the Japanese military and political officials who may go into exile on the sea road, it is a very important cooperating party, not the main fighting party. "

"Then who is the coach in charge of this battle?"

"General Mawei."

When Han Zhuo said this, Zheng Ying understood.

"After so many years, His Majesty's ability to balance the bowl of water has not retreated in the slightest. On the contrary, it has become more and more proficient, so that we all have battles to fight, and no one will envy anyone to the point of being out of control. I can't wait. Your Majesty has too many."

Zheng Ying thought for a while that he still couldn't reconcile the relationship between the generals under his command and Qi Dayong, and when he thought of the generals being at odds because of their military exploits, he felt very depressed.

"That's natural. Your Majesty's wisdom is far-reaching, and it's not something we and other courtiers can guess."

Han Zhuo cupped his hands facing the northeast direction: "Speaking of which, Zheng Shuai, His Majesty is still quite concerned about the situation here. Before that, the master of Xuanwu Battalion jointly wrote to His Majesty to reflect Zheng Shuai's situation. His Majesty was not very happy. Now Although the matter is small, but the generals did not get along before the battle, you, the commander, have insufficient control."

Zheng Ying's heart tightened.

"This matter... I have also reflected on this matter, but my time as the coach is still short, so..."

"Your Majesty also said the same thing. Shuai Zheng's time as head coach is still short, so I can forgive you."

Han Zhuo said, "However, Your Majesty thinks that there must be strict rules in the army, and there must be no overstepping in the slightest, otherwise the military regulations will be broken. An army without military regulations is a bandit, not an army. Zheng Shuai is very clear about the requirements of military discipline."

Zheng Ying nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty's expectation, the general knows, and the general will try his best to meet His Majesty's expectation!"

"It's not about doing your best, it's about being sure."

Han Zhuo said: "This is His Majesty's original words, and it must be done, otherwise, His Majesty cannot rest assured that the three armies of the Southwest Corps will be handed over to Zheng Shuai."

Zheng Ying only nodded.

After that, Han Zhuo took out Xiao Ruxun's imperial edict: "This is the imperial edict promulgated by His Majesty according to the news sent back by Zheng Shuai. Zheng Shuai can see if there is anything that needs to be added, or if there is anything that needs to be changed temporarily, tell me now." ,You still have time."

"His Majesty agrees?"

"Yes, His Majesty, considering the situation is changing rapidly, this is even within our plan and can be changed."

Han Zhuo handed the edict to Zheng Ying, Zheng Ying took it and looked at it carefully.

In the tent, two people are discussing what needs to be done tomorrow.

Outside the tent, the elite soldiers are staring and patrolling the surroundings, not allowing anyone to approach.

The curtain of the conspiracy slowly opened, and a series of turmoil caused by the power vacuum that emerged after the end of the Banzhou Battle began, and will be driven by manpower.

When Zheng Ying and Han Zhuo were discussing the conspiracy, the envoy Xiao Ruxun sent to Japan to read the imperial decree about Daqin's early return of Iwami Yinshan had already sailed to the Japanese island by boat, and domestic preparations for the war were also underway. .

Xiao Ruxun ordered the mobilization of military rations from the three southeastern provinces, Burma, and Luzon for military supplies, and allocated 30 taels of silver from the national treasury for preliminary preparations. The navy ships of Jianghai and Dahai approached Tianjinwei Port one after another, ready to carry and assemble. The army, set sail to the Japanese island at any time.

Before that, in order to do enough tricks, he still needed to dispatch a batch of ships between Shi Jian and Zhejiang to transport some troops under Wu Weizhong to Zhejiang.

One of the purposes of doing this is because Liu Huangshang planned to let people spread rumors in Japan that there was turmoil in the Great Qin Dynasty and that a large number of troops needed to be recruited to quell the turmoil.

In fact, this rumor has no actual content. It does not say where the rebellion occurred, nor what kind of rebellion it is. Said the illusion of the problem.

In this era of extremely slow transmission of information and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, this kind of pedestal can easily make people make wrong judgments and make wrong things.

The second purpose is also Xiao Ruxun's own intention. He wants the southern soldiers under Wu Weizhong, who has been stationed in Iwami Town, Japan for a long time, to return to their hometowns.

Although the former Ming Dynasty also arranged for soldiers from Shijian Town to return home to visit their relatives in turn, the frequency was low and the cycle was long. Up to now, thousands of soldiers have not returned home for six or seven years, and they are eager to see their hometown.

Letting them return to their hometown will not only help the soldiers develop a sense of belonging and goodwill towards Daqin, but also help Xiao Ruxun directly disintegrate the last army that he can't control in Daqin officials.

It was an army belonging to Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang imprinted it with a too deep personal mark. Even though Qi Jiguang had passed away for more than ten years, the military spirit in this army still has not disappeared. This is the closest to the Ming Dynasty. The army of the modern army.

However, it is a pity that this army only belongs to Qi Jiguang.

After Qi Jiguang's death, the Ming Dynasty failed to carry forward his military training methods and build a real iron army belonging to the country, but let this army, which is close to the modern army, still follow Qi Jiguang's two successors——Qi Jin and Wu Weizhong .

When Xiao Ruxun started the incident, Qi Jin served as the commander-in-chief in Wusong Island off the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Wu Weizhong served as the commander-in-chief in Iwami Town, Japan.

Qi Jin wanted to resist, but his troops were few and he had no information. By the time he got the news, Zheng Ying's army and General Dahai's navy had already controlled his retreat. If he didn't surrender, he would starve to death.

Afterwards, Zheng Ying sent people to persuade Qi Jin, counting the harsh treatment of Qi Jiguang by the Ming court, and the oppression and attack of generals by civil servants, Qi Jin hesitated for a day, led the army to surrender, joined Zheng Ying's army, and handed over the command of the army .

Wu Weizhong was simply too far away to be noticed. By the time he noticed, Xiao Ruxun had already overthrew the Ming court and established the Great Qin Dynasty, so he simply surrendered.

Furthermore, Wu Weizhong was also Xiao Ruxun's old department before, and Qi Jin was also Xiao Ruxun's old department. They were all comrades in the Korean War, so there is no reason not to agree.

However, the rest of the Qi family army led by the two of them formed a self-contained system with rigorous training, and the training speed was not weaker than that of the general army of Daqin.
