Wanli 1592

Chapter 155 Chinese New Year (fourth update)
Xiao Ruxun is very clear that, as a typical inland dynasty, the Ming dynasty never cared much about the construction of sea frontiers and navy. The era when the navy of the Ming army was the strongest was the period of Hongwu and Yongle. The division has suffered a lot, so it is very concerned about the development of the navy. However, after the unification, the Ming army has no threat from the sea, so it turned to the army, and the navy was placed.

During the Yongle and Xuande period, because of Zheng He’s seven voyages to the Western Seas, the Ming army’s navy had as many as nearly [-] ships, and their scale and strength were all the highest in the world. However, after Xuande, the Ming court tended to ban the sea, and the treasure ship of Zheng He's voyages was exposed to the wind and sun until it rotted and became unusable at the port, and disappeared from people's vision along with the past glory.

Therefore, the water warfare tactics of the Ming army are actually similar to those of North Korea and Japan. They have always used long-range strikes and short-range collisions. A powerful enemy at sea, so I didn't notice it.

Therefore, during the Jiajing period, with the advent of the maritime crisis, when the Ming army fought against the Spanish and Portuguese navy representing the most advanced naval power in the world for the first time, it suffered a lot, and finally defeated them with tactics and captured their troops. Only then did he realize that he had fallen behind the world by a lot.

The only luck is that the emperor of Ming Dynasty and some officials are not stupid, and their heads are much clearer. They know that after being beaten, they have to catch up. Using huge manpower, material resources and strong national power, they imitated the Thousands of new weapons have replaced the old ones, narrowing the gap in one fell swoop. However, this is not all smooth sailing. The empire is so huge that it takes several years to turn around, not to mention the introduction and full implementation of new ideas?

To put it bluntly, with the current naval strength of the Ming army, they can only bully and bully the Japanese. If they really want to face the Spanish and the Portuguese, unless the number of ships exceeds them by a lot and they use ship-to-sea tactics to pile up lives, it is absolutely fiasco.

Because we are just imitation, we have not gone from imitation to self-development and transcendence, and we have not used strong national strength as the most solid backing for scientific research and development.

Of course, fortunately, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had an excellent tradition of engaging in scientific research, especially a group of scholar-bureaucrats who liked and studied Western learning, such as Zhao Shizhen and Xu Guangqi. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun was not worried that he could not find excellent talents to help him.

Li Shunchen's close combat tactics, to put it bluntly, even in the face of today's Ming navy navy, Xiao Ruxun is sure to destroy him with artillery. If it gets going, North Korea will not be where it is today.

Daming urgently needs innovation, and needs to transform its strong national power into resources that can be effectively used, not just saying "the land is vast and the resources are abundant" and then let others slaughter it.

I just don't know what Chen Lin is thinking.

During the interval of training the North Korean navy, Xiao Ruxun was looking forward to the arrival of Chen Lin and the arrival of the navy.

At the same time, in Nagoya, Hizen, Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu is experiencing the most disturbing period of his life so far. After realizing the abnormality of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu already knows that he must not let his subordinates The army was sent to North Korea to die, and the situation in North Korea was corrupt. Sending the army at this time was definitely an act of sending the army to death. He, who had always been very stingy, became even more stingy now.

For this reason, he began to plan how to choose a suitable opportunity to get rid of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But every word and every piece of paper in this plan, he couldn't help the trembling of his hands. He suddenly remembered that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a wolf, a ferocious wolf, an old but still ferocious wild wolf with its teeth and claws, Is this guy who has rushed from the bottom of society to the top of society all the way, really so easy to overthrow?
Even if he's out of his mind.

But the ferocious wolf is still a ferocious wolf. The ferocious wolf has a ferocity that no one else has, and will never lack the courage to kill the enemy until the last moment. This kind of person is the most terrifying.

And the reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu still chose to surrender after defeating Toyotomi Hideyoshi was for this reason. He knew that he was born as a nobleman and lacked something that Toyotomi Hideyoshi possessed but he himself did not possess—the will to die with the enemy .

People of noble origin will always lack such a thing, and this is also the common thing of countless grassroots people who have finally reached the pinnacle of power for thousands of years. imperial industry.

Tokugawa Ieyasu hesitated, hesitated, and was even awakened by a nightmare in his sleep. Listening to the turbulent messages from the outside world and the increasingly unstable situation, this was clearly something he expected or even expected. At this moment, he had This kind of psychology of wanting to retreat, even at one point he was about to decide to follow Toyotomi Hideyoshi to his death.

Just at the critical period, the appearance of one person changed the course of history.

On December 29th, Kuroda Rusui secretly came to Tokugawa Ieyasu's residence. He talked with Tokugawa Ieyasu at night until dawn, and Kuroda Rusui quietly left. No one knew what Kuroda Rusui and Tokugawa Ieyasu talked about. What, but later things proved that this discussion is of great significance.

On December 20th, this is the last day of the [-]th year of Wanli. In the Daegu camp of North Korea, the generals of the Ming army gathered together to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Because the war is not over yet, everyone can’t return to their relatives. There are festivals around, but the festivals that should be celebrated must also be celebrated.

Like the Ming army, the Koreans also celebrated the arrival of the new year in the restored land. They regarded the nightmarish half year as a trial of suffering, and with the arrival of the new year, all this will change.

They believe that the future will be better, and next year will be even better. The Ming army will definitely drive out the Japanese pirates and restore North Korea.

I don’t know if Li Yan, king of Joseon, sent a large amount of meat and wine from Seoul to the Ming army with gritted teeth and tears. The congratulations and the New Year's gift of 5 taels of silver from His Majesty the Emperor. Song Yingchang, as the Duke of Jinglue, also sent a large amount of flour, oil and salt to the front-line Ming army as New Year's gifts, and even a batch of fireworks and firecrackers.

After Xiao Ruxun got these things, he asked Yuan Huang to organize and distribute the silver brought by His Majesty the emperor into red envelopes and distribute them to the soldiers as New Year gifts, and then ordered the soldiers to drink tonight, and personally went to the Huotou military camp to order the Huotou army to divide them into red envelopes. Two batches, one for the northerners to cook their hometown food, and one for the southerners to cook their hometown food.

Xiao Ruxun also ordered to catch fish everywhere and cook fish soup for everyone to share, which means that there is more than enough every year. He made a big pot of barbecued meat for the soldiers to eat, so that everyone can have a good year. sad and lonely.

After all, this is Chinese New Year, especially for these soldiers, it might be the last time.
