Wanli 1592

Chapter 313

Xiao Ruxun didn't know, at least not now. If he knew, he would probably lead his troops back to Beijing immediately, and there would be a bloody massacre on the side of the Qing emperor, reshaping the political ecology of Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know, so he was making arrangements. After finishing everything, he left Beijing City with his soldiers and the boys from the Ma family.

Previously, he had sent fifty elite soldiers to escort Yang Zhao, Yang Caiyun and her two sons and daughters south to Nanjing, and the father's retirement report had also been approved. I will set off to return to my hometown in Yan'an.

The eldest and the second are also preparing to go back to the northwest, and the third and Yang Zhao Yang Caiyun are going back to Nanjing together, and there is also a helper on the way, and the family is scattered again, and the next meeting is unknown when it will be.

On the ninth day of June, Xiao Ruxun led a team to the port of Tianjinwei. Looking at the huge fleet that was densely packed in the port and couldn't be seen at a glance, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

This is the second time I have led the army to go to war, and it is also the first time to lead the army as a commander. It is also the first time since Emperor Xianzong Xiaozong to act as a commander with the qualifications of a general. attention.

Xiao Ruxun still didn't take away any of the children of the Wuxun family in the capital. They were already rotten to the root, so they shouldn't follow him to harm the rising power like the rising sun.

"Ji Xin, this expedition is of great significance. We must win a complete victory. It will raise my reputation overseas and deter all the young people."

Shi Xing came to see them off in person, and had high hopes for Xiao Ruxun at the port.

Xiao Ruxun clasped his fists in salute, and said, "The final general will remember the words of the ministry, and will definitely crusade against rebels, punish their chieftains, destroy their country, and pacify disobedient ministers!"

Shi Xing nodded, clasped his fists, and shouted loudly: "I wish Xiao Ping the victory!"

Behind him, the officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rituals clasped their fists together to salute, and shouted loudly: "I wish Xiao Pinglu the victory!"

Such a large-scale send-off really gave Xiao Ruxun enough face and helped him support the scene, making all the generals behind Xiao Ruxun envious.

Xiao Ruxun returned the salute, then turned around, faced the generals, drew out the battle sword in his waist, swung it forward, and shouted: "Let's go!!"

The sound of rumbling war drums sounded loudly, and under such prestige, Xiao Ruxun bid farewell to Shi Xing, and boarded the giant ship together with a group of generals. The fleet moved forward slowly, and Xiao Ruxun's fleet, which represented the strongest military force in Ming Dynasty, slowly moved southward, heading towards an unknown path.

During this march, we went all the way south along the coastline until we reached the land of Nanyang, so we could see the land for two-thirds of the way along the way, and we would not feel so lonely, nor would we not be able to see the sky at a glance. Because of the possibility of naval battles, Xiao Ruxun also ordered Chen Lin to arrange naval warfare exercises for the soldiers on the fleet. In order to let the army get familiar with the ships, he also ordered the soldiers to learn to catch seafood.

Seafood is a good thing, especially now that there is no heavy metal pollution, seafood is very clean, and the army going south will naturally have food to eat on board, but if some seafood can be used to adjust the adjustment, it is also very meaningful for the boring marching road. Xiao Ruxun also likes to eat seafood. In Japan and North Korea, he tried to find seafood to eat. Now that the army is marching at sea, how can they not catch seafood?

It was also lucky, Xiao Ruxun's flagship put a lot of small boats, the soldiers took the small boats, under the guidance of experienced sailors, fished seafood everywhere for extra meals, Xiao Ruxun also caught a lot of seafood here, some sea fish, and some Xiao Ruxun I like shellfish and crab very much. In the era without MSG, the umami taste of these things is very rare.

The most common way to eat seafood is boiled or steamed. The original way of eating can best reflect the original taste of seafood. Of course, it can be fried or stewed, but the army is not such a good cook, and neither is Xiao Ruxun. Be special, eat boiled seafood with soldiers, and some good sea fish, Xiao Ruxun directly asks the old Huotoujun to cut into thin slices with a knife, and eat with vinegar and soy sauce, it can also taste very delicious .

The boys from the Ma family were a little surprised to see Xiao Ruxun eating raw fish. They lived in the northwest inland and they didn't expect this, but when Xiao Ruxun prepared some sashimi for them, they actually ate something different. The delicious taste, and since then fell in love with eating raw seafood.

After the fleet arrived in Zhejiang, they stayed in Zhejiang for three days, put down the Southwest Field Army of Deng Zilong and Liu Ting, and picked up the Southwest Artillery Unit of more than 700 people assembled in Zhejiang. After arriving in Guangdong, they picked up again A group of wolf soldiers with more than 3 people, so the main force in the hands of Xiao Ruxun of the entire fleet has a scale of [-] people.

When the Ming Fleet headed south quickly, King Narisuan of Siam also received a letter of credence from the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, informing the Siamese country that the Ming army would land in the Siamese country, pass through the Siamese border, enter the Dongwu Kingdom, and attack the Dongwu Kingdom , And destroy it, ask Siam to provide guides, correct roads and necessary information, Daming will pay for food and grass for its own use, etc.

The news caused an uproar in the court of Siam.

The Ming Dynasty is going to attack the barbarians in Myanmar again?

Before that, the Ming Dynasty had just cleaned up the Japanese country that invaded Korea with arrogance, and killed the leader of the Japanese country, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, torn the Japanese country apart, and rebuilt the Korean country. The vassal states around Daming knew that the prestige of Daming was boosted for a while, and the surrounding vassal states were happy, worried, and afraid.

As Ming's non-conquering country, Siam is not worried about Ming's mobilizing troops against them. Not to mention the promise of the non-conquering country, but the hundreds of years of friendship, Siam has never been disrespectful to Ming, so Da Ming has no reason to conquest Their deeds of restoring Korea to the country were also publicized around them, and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty reached the peak since Yongle.

So in Siam, a few sporadic voices worrying that Ming would destroy Guo in a false way were quickly suppressed. They thought it was groundless speculation. If Ming wanted to do something, North Korea no longer existed, but North Korea is still there, which is enough to prove the integrity of Ming Dynasty.

Now the only thing they are worth considering is how to entertain the Ming army, and whether they need to do something for the Ming army.

Although Daming’s imperial edict stated that Daming would pay for Siam’s grain and did not need Siam to donate on its own initiative, but as a vassal state, it is a courtesy to provide some grain and grass to the suzerain state, let alone the suzerain state’s conquest of Burma this time. Siam is really a great thing. Everyone knows the blood feud between Siam and Myanmar.

Whether the other party wants it or not is one thing, and whether you give it or not is a matter of ideological awareness. Daming is such a face-conscious country, if Siam doesn't take the initiative to give some to satisfy Da Ming's face, Da Ming will be very unhappy.
