Chapter 385: Fighting a war is so simple?

The results of the battle of Zhenjiang Fort were quickly scattered in all directions.

Clippers, clippers, the fastest messengers in this era, spread the epoch-making results of this epoch-making battle to all directions.

Forbidden city.

Yang Reform received a report from Mao Wenlong a few days ago that he was determined to defend Zhenjiang Fort, Yang Reform hesitated, whether to stop Mao Wenlong from doing this, after all, Mao Wenlong is a big marshal, to command a front of thousands of miles, if he is trapped in a lonely city, it will indeed have a great impact on the battle situation. After thinking about it, I felt that since Mao Wenlong went to Yin* Dongyu with the determination to die, then he might as well try, perhaps, Mao Wenlong would give himself a surprise. Therefore, Yang Reform did not recall Mao Wenlong as many newspapers hoped, but ordered to make more preparations, in case Mao Wenlong failed, Mao Wenlong could be fished out, or some ammunition could be added to Mao Wenlong.

When the news arrived, it was already after noon.

Yang Reform has already "gotten off work" and is relaxing on the edge of the Taiye Pool.

"Your Majesty, the great victory of the Dongjiang River, the great victory of the Dongjiang River......" Wang Chengen waved the seven hundred miles of urgency, and rushed over while waving.

"Otobe, what's the matter, so happy? Dongjiang? Mao Wenlong has only been guarding Zhenjiang Fort for a few days, so this is a big victory? Yang Gai was concentrating on fishing, and when he heard Wang Chengen shouting from afar, he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's really a great victory from the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong said that he killed one or two thousand Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort, and cut off nearly a thousand of his head alone, which is really a rare victory in my dynasty in the past few years......" Wang Chengen held up the report and said happily.

"Really?" Yang Reform came to the ground in an instant, Donglu is his mortal enemy, in order to deal with Dongyu, I don't know how much effort I have put in, how many ways I have thought of, and now I finally heard a little good news.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong said in the letter that he lured the Tartars to his Zhenjiang Fort with a fake letter, and then killed the messenger to provoke the Tartars, and the Tartars attacked the city, and then suddenly attacked the enemy with thousands of grenades, and knocked down more than a thousand Tartars at one time, and the Tartars wanted to retreat, and Mao Wenlong hung the Tartars' corpses on the head of the city, and then angered the Tartars, so that the Tartars had to attack the city again, and after two blows, they killed nearly two thousand Tartars, and the heads alone cut nearly a thousand, and all of them were young and strong Tartars, Mao Wenlong also implored His Majesty to send someone to inspect it......" Wang Chengen said while spitting and dancing, as if he had experienced it himself. Wang Chengen, who has accompanied the emperor through many difficulties, knows how important this news is to the emperor, which is all poured out by the emperor's hard work

Yang Gengai listened to Wang Chengen's slight mention of the fake letter, and he already knew the ins and outs of this matter.

Mao Wenlong's "fake letter", that is, the "rebellion letter", is still in his own hands, it is conceivable that Mao Wenlong used such a letter to deceive the leader of the Eastern Prisoners, with this beginning, Yang Reform can also roughly guess what Mao Wenlong wants to do.

"Hehe, this Mao Wenlong is bold" Yang Reform sighed, this time he got nearly a thousand heads, which is already the sum of the heads of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, this Mao Wenlong, for dealing with the Dongyu, is still quite a way to deal with the Donglu Mao Wenlong's courage is indeed quite big, Yang Reform has to "admire" Mao Wenlong in his heart.

As he was talking, Sun Chengzong also came, and he shouted from afar: "Your Majesty, good news, good news from the Dongjiang River."

Yang Gengai followed the voice and looked at it, Sun Chengzong didn't care about any etiquette and image, and took a big stride and "rushed" towards his side.

"Hehe, Master Sun, what's the good news" Yang Gengai was also funny when he saw Sun Chengzong disregarding his image like this, it was rare to see this old man like this.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news...... congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......" Sun Chengzong said with a smile, seeing that Wang Chengen was already by the emperor's side, the emperor must have known the news, and said: "...... Presumably Your Majesty already knows that the great victory of the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong killed 2,000 enemies and cut off nearly 1,000 heads of Dongyu, which is really a rare victory for our dynasty in recent years.

"Oh, hehe, Master Sun also received the news? It's so fast, I just heard from my companion......" Yang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong can do a miraculous feat this time, with less than 5,000 foot soldiers, he killed 2,000 Donglu elites under the hands ......of 20,000 Dongyu elites, so that 20,000 Tartars are afraid and dare not attack the city, this credit, Your Majesty, can be described as a miraculous achievement" Sun Chengzong's face bloomed with a rare smile, and this "flower" is even rarer and has not been "withered". ,

"Hehehe......" Yang Reform has never been so refreshing, two thousand people, but one percent of the population of Dongyu.

"Your Majesty, here is the report of Mao Wenlong's staff officers, but Your Majesty wants to see it?" The "flowers" on Sun Chengzong's face still hadn't withered, and he said with a smile.

Yang Reform took a look, in addition to the text of the report, there are also a few "sketches", a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the feeling of a city of hell comes to the face, this is exactly a skill that the staff officers will know, can draw maps, can draw battle maps, can draw canvas defense maps, etc., so, drawing a map of the blood sea of corpses is also estimated to be drawn casually, in order to increase the sense of reality.

As he was talking, Shoufu Shi Fenglai led the cabinet, and some Shangshu also arrived.

Shi Fenglai shouted complimentarily from afar: "Your Majesty, the great victory of the Dongjiang River, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......"

The three sets of teams around him, the celebrant supervisor, the staff department, and the cabinet, are all here, and Yang Reform laughs constantly, in addition to killing a large number of Dongyu, but also verifying the feasibility of defending the city with his own grenades, which is more valuable than the two thousand heads, that is, it proves that in the future, no matter the size of the fort, as long as there are enough grenades, the Donglu will attack the city without artillery, and there is no other way except to fill it with human lives, that is to say, in the future, there is basically no fear of the Dongyu attacking the city, that is, fighting, It is basically invincible, and with this guarantee, the morale of the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a huge improvement.

Yang Gengai sighed in his heart, in order to deal with the nomads in the north, he has thought of countless ways, think about it, or feel that the phrase "backward will be beaten" is correct, to fight backward with advanced and backward weapons with cross-era weapons, this is in line with the scientific concept of development, is in line with the laws of history, should not be wrong, therefore, did not take the kind of "blood fight" with the enemy, with spears against cavalry, queue up to shoot, now it seems that their own road is through, at least, the city of the Ming Dynasty, It is no longer afraid of the attack of wild boar skin, at least the wild boar skin without artillery is not good, if the wild boar skin wants to develop cannons and firearms, Yang Reform will look up to the sky and smile, what is the Cold War, how was the Soviet Union dragged down, with the population and economic strength of the wild boar skin to do this, Yang Reform will laugh until cramps.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, Zhenjiang Fort victory, that is, my great victory, but also your great victory, but also my great victory, hehehe......" Yang Reform smiled from ear to ear, and cleaned up 2,000 people at a time, accounting for almost one percent of the entire population of Dongyu.

"Your Majesty, why don't you gather your ministers and share this grand event, why don't you celebrate with the whole world?" Shoufu Shi Feng was very interested in coming to see the emperor and proposed. The Jinning victory back then, but it made the entire Ming Dynasty carnival for a long time, that was only more than 200 heads, and now there are nearly 1,000, which is indeed a grand event, and there is indeed a need for the whole world to celebrate.

"Well, it's okay, since it's a big victory, we should also let everyone feel the feelings, so, big companion, call the cabinet on the platform, big and small Jiuqing and other deliberations." After thinking about it for a while, Yang Gengai decided to agree to Shi Fenglai's proposal and prepare to disclose this great victory to the ministers, which was a good opportunity to establish his prestige.

……

Not long after, the ministers had already gathered on the platform, and the news that Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town had killed two thousand Tartars and obtained a thousand heads had already spread throughout the capital, and many people had gotten the news and were discussing it.

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......," the little eunuch shouted.

The ministers immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"It's all up...... Hehe, it seems that everyone knows this news......" Yang Reform said as he walked straight to the innermost.

The ministers waited for the emperor to pass over, and then they got up one by one.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty...... This is a rare victory ...... my dynasty in recent years, and it shows the brilliance of my Ming Dynasty, and it should be celebrated with the whole world...... "As soon as a minister opened his mouth, it was sent up by a sycophant, a great victory of 1,000 heads, which is indeed worthy of praise, you know, last year's Jinning victory, only 200 heads.

Yang Reform is very popular with this sycophancy, but there are also thorns.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Mao Wenlong said is not true, maybe it is not known whether it is to deceive His Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to send someone to Zhenjiang Fort to examine the corpse first, otherwise, once the extremely absurd thing of killing the good and risking the merits, deceiving the court, and deceiving the Majesty happens, but it is a great blow to the prestige of the imperial court, but it will fall into His Majesty's face and reputation...... "An official said extremely toughly. ,

Yang Reform heard this, like eating flies, Mao Wenlong from the beginning of sending himself a "fake letter", Yang Reform roughly guessed what Mao Wenlong was going to do, although he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to kill the messenger, will hang the head on the city wall, however, I also guessed that Mao Wenlong would use grenades to give Dongyu a surprise attack, it will definitely receive miraculous results, what is the effect of throwing hundreds of grenades together, Yang Reform has seen it himself, Mao Wenlong is thousands of grenades thrown out together, what is the effect, Yang Reform can imagine. Now, his minister actually suspects that Yang Reform is unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord X is right, it is better not to draw conclusions easily, in case Mao Wenlong deceives the monarch and deceives the court, when the time comes, it will be difficult to clean up, the minister thinks that it is better to send someone to examine the body first, and then celebrate it is not too late......" Another minister, also Si Swenwen, said.

Yang Gai sighed in his heart, it seems that this Mao Wenlong doesn't know how many people he has offended, it seems that there are not one or two people in the court who have opinions on Mao Wenlong.

"Hehehe...... Several Aiqing are reasonable, and they are also old Chengmouguo, but in addition to Mao Wenlong's report, Jinyiwei's secret report, and the staff department's report, it is naturally impossible to fake......" Although Yang Reform was unhappy, he still explained kindly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is still too early to celebrate at this time, I heard that the Dongyu is still outside Zhenjiang Fort, and has not left, and there is still the intention of fighting again, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this time should not be celebrated, but should discuss the situation of Zhenjiang Fort, discuss the situation of Dongjiang, and prepare for the worst, just in case......" Another minister also came out to pour cold water. Anyway, there are not a few people in the DPRK who do not want to see Mao Wenlong.

Yang Reform was depressed, this was a good victory, as if his side had suffered heavy casualties and wild boar skin won beautifully.

"Hehehe, this Qing family has a point, of course, we should prepare for the next battle, but the previous victory can also be celebrated, you may not know how this battle was fought, so Mao Wenlong killed two thousand Dongyu and obtained a thousand heads, hehe, Kong Youde ...... "Yang Reform is in a good mood today, and he has patience to explain to these people.

"In" a sonorous sound of sound shock, some ministers' ears tingled.

"Kong Youde, have you studied the case of Mao Dashuai's battle in Zhenjiang Fort this time?" Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the students have seen the battle examples, and know some ......" Kong Youde is a young general sent to the capital by Dongjiang Town for "training", and was summoned into the platform by a holy decree of Yang Reform, as an attendant, and studied by the emperor's side, many times, it was Sun Chengzong who was guiding them, and Sun Chengzong's staff was set up on the platform, so the news of the staff department, Kong Youde was well-informed, and after reading the battle report, he roughly knew how this battle was fought.

"Okay...... you may not know how this battle was fought, you explain it to you, let you know about the process of this battle, hehehe, I think, you adults understand the process of this battle, you will no longer doubt Mao Wenlong......" Yang Reform was in a good mood, with the intention of curing the disease and saving people, and began to "save" some people who only knew about attacking Mao Wenlong all day long.

"Yes," Kong Youde replied in a sonorous voice.

Among the ministers, some were still ready to speak, but it was difficult for Kong Youde to interrupt his thoughts by shouting, and it would be difficult to seize the opportunity to speak again for a while.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, the course of the war is like this, after receiving His Majesty's military order, you must drag the Tartars, and do not let the Tartars go west with peace of mind, so Mao Dashuai decided to put himself in danger, with four or five thousand foot soldiers, ready to drag the Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort, so he wrote a fake letter on the 13th, tempting the Tartars to Zhenjiang Fort with a false letter, and Mao Dashuai, on the 17th, on the grounds that the envoy's level was too low, deceived the Tartars to send more advanced envoys, and then the commander killed the messenger, and hung the messenger's body on the city wall, deliberately angered the Tartars, and lured the Tartars to attack the city, To put it simply, that's it...... For the next battle, my lords, please come to the sand table, where a terrain of Zhenjiang Fort has been made, so that you can see the process of the battle more intuitively......" Kong Youde explained while guiding everyone to the sand table. These days, they have also used the sand table to deduce possible battles, so they are quite familiar with Zhenjiang Fort, and there are also ready-made terrain sand tables of Zhenjiang Fort, which now just come in handy. ,

The ministers were still very interested in the emperor's sand table, and many people gathered around the sand table with relish, ready to take a look.

“…… The east side of Zhenjiang Fort is a big river, the north side is a high mountain, only the south side, the west side can be attacked, the city wall is more than three zhang, there is a moat outside the city, it is an important place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack......"

“…… The first time the Tartars attacked the city, I didn't know anything about the tactics of my Ming Dynasty, and I thought that our dynasty would fight to the death as before, so I still used the method of ant attachment to attack the city, what I want to say here is that the Tartars have no cannons, so they can only be so ant attached to the siege, that is, to climb the city wall with a ladder, and then suppress it with an elite bow and arrow in the back,...... However, this time, Mao Dashuai's tactics were unprecedentedly ......, until the Tartar soldiers came to the city, built ladders to climb the city, and gathered quite a lot of Tartars under the city wall...... my Dongjiang Army suddenly threw out thousands of grenades, thousands of grenades exploded at the same time, my lords, you can imagine how ......serious the Tartar casualties were, so Mao Dashuai said in the letter, killing one or two thousand Tartars at a time, this is definitely not a lie, you know, my Dongjiang army threw thousands of grenades, a grenade injured a person, It is enough to cause this effect...... what is even more rare is that almost no one was injured in our Dongjiang army, which has to be said to be an unprecedented battle in history...... "Kong Youde came out of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, and he worked quite hard to explain the achievements of his own marshal, and directly omitted a lot of things, and directly said that thousands of grenades flew out of Dongjiang Town from the city wall, killing one or two thousand siege Tartars, focusing on not killing a single person......

The ministers were confused, it was so simple to fight a war? Throwing a few grenades can have such a big result? One or two thousand Tartars died like this? Haven't died yet? Although I don't believe it very much, everyone has seen what a grenade is, and it is definitely not a lie to say that thousands of grenades were thrown out suddenly, and the ants attached to the Tartars who attacked the city said that there were heavy casualties.

"It's that simple?" A minister who had been opposing Mao Wenlong just now asked confusedly.

"Lord Hui, it's really that simple, the difficulty is how to get the Tartars to attack the city......" Kong Youde explained with a smile.

"I heard that the East Captives are good at riding and archery, so you are not afraid of their bows and arrows? It is said that a hundred steps away, Dongyu can also do a hundred shots, how can there be no one dead......" The minister asked relentlessly, as if he must ask Mao Wenlong's rhetoric to find a flaw.

"Lord Hui, it's actually very simple, because my Dongjiang army didn't show its head at all, they all rested with their backs against the battlements of the city wall, only when the commander gave the order, they threw grenades behind the battlements of the city wall, no matter how powerful the tartar was, it was impossible for the arrow to penetrate the city wall, right? Therefore, our Dongjiang army is not afraid of Tartar archery at all, how can there be losses......" Kong Youde explained hard.

"If you don't show your head, how do you know how the Dongyu attacked the city and how you can see the situation outside?" The minister continued to ask without giving up, as if he had to ask for a flaw in order to expose Mao Wenlong's lies.

"Back to my lord, in fact, it's simple, the general flag, there are periscopes in hundreds of households, you can hide behind the city wall to observe the enemy, and the enemy can't see a person on the city wall, and he can't figure out our reality at all, and my Dongjiang army can see the Tartars clearly, and when the Tartar brigade arrives under the city wall and prepares to climb the city, they throw grenades, and the battle is actually so simple......" Kong Youde is full of confidence in the achievements of his own marshal, and while speaking, he also took a periscope to show the ministers.

The minister finally figured out how this Mao Wenlong fought, and after a long time, he said, "It's so simple? In other words, Mao Wenlong killed one or two thousand Tartars in just a few breaths? In other words, killing 2,000 people and killing nearly 1,000 heads is not a lie? I haven't died yet...... "This minister finally figured out how Mao Wenlong did it, and he also made up Mao Wenlong to kill one or two thousand people, in fact, it took a few breaths of time to figure this out, this minister was speechless, he could only be stupid and not speak.

When did it become so "easy" to fight a war?

When did it become so "easy" to fight a war?

The minister was stupid for a long time, sighed lightly and said: "This world has changed" and then stopped talking, looking silent, the expression of Mao Wenlong, who had just been strictly guarded against it, could no longer see it, he would do such a simple thing, let alone Mao Wenlong, such a simple thing, he went, and as long as it took a few breaths, he could get nearly a thousand heads.

The other ministers also understood what Mao Wenlong did from the explanation just now, and they all felt jealous that Mao Wenlong had a few breaths of effort to get a thousand heads, this battle was too easy, who wouldn't? If it were us, we would be so easy, and we would be able to do better than Mao Wenlong.
