Chapter 385: Is it so easy to fight?

The result of the Battle of Zhenjiang Fort was spreading rapidly in all directions.

The fast horse and the Clippers are the fastest tool for delivering news in this era, and they spread the epoch-making achievements to all directions.

Forbidden City.

Yang Jing received a few days ago that Mao Wenlong was determined to defend Zhenjiang Fort. Yang Jing hesitated for a moment whether to stop Mao Wenlong from doing this. After all, Mao Wenlong was a general and had to command a front for thousands of miles. If he was trapped in an isolated city, it would indeed have a great impact on the battle situation. After thinking about it, he felt that since Mao Wenlong used his determination to tempt the Donglu, he might as well try it. Perhaps Mao Wenlong would surprise him. Therefore, Yang Jing did not recall Mao Wenlong as many reports hoped, but ordered to make more preparations. If Mao Wenlong did not do it, he could fish out Mao Wenlong or add some ammunition to Mao Wenlong.

When the news arrived, it was already after noon.

Yang Jiewei has already "get off work" and is relaxing by the Taiye Pool.

"Your Majesty, Dongjiang Victory, Dongjiang Victory..." Wang Chengen waved his 700-mile speed and rushed over while waving.

"Big partner, what's the matter? I'm so happy? Dongjiang? Mao Wenlong has only been guarding Zhenjiang Fort for a few days. Is there a great victory?" Yang Jie was concentrating on fishing. Hearing Wang Chengen shouting from afar, so he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it is really a great victory from Dongjiang. Mao Wenlong reported that he killed one or two thousand Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort. He cut nearly a thousand with his head alone. This is actually a rare victory in our dynasty in several years..." Wang Chengen held up the report and said happily.

"Really?" Yang Jing became excited in an instant. Donglu was his mortal enemy. In order to deal with Donglu, he had put in a lot of effort and thought of many solutions. Now he finally heard some good news.

"It is true, Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong said in the letter that he used fake letters to lure the Tartars to his Zhenjiang Fort, and then killed the envoys to anger the Tartars and lure the Tartars to attack the city. Then he suddenly used thousands of grenades to attack the enemy, knocking down more than a thousand Tartars at one time. The Tartars wanted to retreat, and Mao Wenlong hung the Tartars' body on the top of the city, which made the Tartars have to attack the city again. After two strokes, nearly two thousand Tartars were killed. Nearly 2,000 were cut off by the heads alone. Mao Wenlong also begged His Majesty to send someone to test it..." Wang Chengen said as he spitted, dancing with his hands, as if he had experienced it himself. Wang Chengen, who accompanied the emperor through many difficulties, knew how important this news was to the emperor, and it was all watered by the emperor's hard work!

After hearing Wang Chengen's brief introduction of the fake letter, Yang Jie knew the whole story of the matter well.

Mao Wenlong's "fake letter", also known as "rebellion letter", is still in his own hands. It can be imagined that Mao Wenlong used such a letter to deceive the leader of the Donglu. With this beginning, Yang Jingwei could roughly guess what Mao Wenlong wanted to do.

"Haha, this Mao Wenlong! He has courage!" Yang Jie sighed. This time he got nearly a thousand people. It was the total number of people who got the Donglu in the Ming Dynasty in recent years. Mao Wenlong is quite capable of dealing with the Donglu! Mao Wenlong is indeed quite brave, and Yang Jie has to "admirate" Mao Wenlong in his heart.

As he was speaking, Sun Chengzong also came and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty, good news, good news from Dongjiang!"

Yang Jie looked in the voice, and Sun Chengzong took big steps regardless of etiquette and image, and "running" towards himself.

"Haha, Master Sun, what good news is there!" Yang Jie was also funny to see Sun Chengzong disregarding his image. He rarely saw 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, looking at Wang Chengen who was already by the emperor, and the emperor must have known the news. He said, "...I guess His Majesty already knows it. Mao Wenlong killed two thousand enemies and cut off nearly a thousand heads of the East Captain. This is actually the rare victory in my dynasty in recent years! In this way, the morale of our dynasty will greatly increase!" Sun Chengzong's old face was already smiling.

"Oh, hehe, Master Sun has also received the news? So fast! I just heard from my partner..." Yang Jingai said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong has made a great contribution this time. With less than 5,000 infantrymen, he killed 2,000 elite Eastern Barbarians under the 20,000 elite Eastern Barbarians, which made 20,000 Tartars afraid and dare not attack the city. This contribution, Your Majesty, is a great contribution..." Sun Chengzong's face was rarely smiled, and this "flower" was even rare that it had not "withered".

"Hahaha..." Yang Jing had never been so readily, two thousand people, but one percent of the population of Donglu.

"Your Majesty, there are reports from the staff around Mao Wenlong. Do you want to see it?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile on his face.

Yang Jie took it and saw that in addition to the text and report, there were also several "sketches", a sea of ​​corpses and blood, and the feeling of a city of hell came to his face. This is a skill that the staff must know, such as being able to draw maps, combat pictures, and defense pictures. Therefore, drawing a chart of corpses and blood pictures is probably a casual way to increase the sense of reality.

As he was talking, the chief minister Shi Feng came to lead the cabinet, and some ministers also arrived.

Shi Feng came from afar and shouted complimentedly: "Your Majesty, Dongjiang Victory, Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty..."

The three teams around him, the Sili Supervisor, the General Staff, and the Cabinet, were all here, and Yang Jie kept laughing. In addition to killing a large number of Donglu, he also verified the feasibility of his grenade defending the city. This was more valuable than the two thousand heads. It proved that no matter the size of the castle in the future, as long as there were enough grenades, the Donglu had to attack the city without cannons, and there was no other way except to fill in the lives of humans. In other words, he was basically not afraid of Donglu's attacking the city in the future. In other words, in the war, he was basically invincible. With this guarantee, the morale of the Ming Dynasty would definitely have a huge improvement.

Yang Jing sighed in his heart that in order to deal with the nomadic peoples in the north, he had thought of countless ways. After thinking about it, he still felt that the saying "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" is correct. With advanced and cross-age weapons, it is in line with the scientific outlook on development and historical laws. It should be impossible to be wrong. Therefore, he did not follow the path of "fighting blood" with the enemy, using spears to queuing and shooting cavalry. Now it seems that his own path has been made. At least, the cities of the Ming Dynasty were no longer afraid of the attack of wild boar skin. At least the wild boar skin without artillery is not good. If wild boar skin wants to develop cannons and firearms, Yang Jing would even laugh to the sky. What is the Cold War? How was the Soviet Union dragged down? With the population and economic strength of wild boar skin, Yang Jing would have to laugh so hard that he would cramp.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, Zhenjiang Fort victory is my victory, it is also my victory, and it is also a victory for you, and it is also a victory for my Ming Dynasty. Hahaha..." Yang Jie was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing. He dealt with two thousand people at once, accounting for almost one percent of the entire Donglu population. If you fight this kind of war a few more times, I'm afraid that the population of Donglu would not be enough.

"Your Majesty, why not gather all the ministers to share this grand event, why not celebrate with the whole world?" The chief minister Shi Feng came to see the emperor very much and suggested. The great victory of Jinning that year made the entire Ming Dynasty carnival for a long time. There were only more than 200 heads, and now there are nearly a thousand, which is indeed a grand event. There are indeed a need to celebrate with the whole world.

"Well, it's okay, since it's a great victory, everyone should feel it. In this way, Dalian, summoning the cabinet, Jiujiu, etc. on the platform to discuss matters." Yang Jing thought for a moment and decided to agree with Shi Fenglai's proposal and prepare to disclose this great victory to the ministers. This is a good opportunity to establish his own prestige.

...

Soon, the ministers gathered on the platform. The news that Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town, killed two thousand Tartars and obtained one thousand heads had already spread throughout the capital. Many people had received the news and were talking about it.

"Your Majesty is here..." the little eunuch shouted.

The ministers immediately knelt down and kowtowed to answer the journey.

"Everything is up... Haha, it seems that everyone knows this news..." Yang Jie said, walking straight to the innermost point.

The ministers only got up one by one after the emperor passed by.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty... This is one of the rare great victories in recent years... It demonstrates the magnificent power of the Ming Dynasty, and it is time for everyone to celebrate..." As soon as a minister opened his mouth, he flattered him. The great victories of one thousand heads are indeed worthy of praise. You must know that last year's Jinning victory was only 200 heads.

Yang Jing benefited from this flattery very much, but there were also some people who were picky.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think what Mao Wenlong said is true. Perhaps it is unknown if he deceives Your Majesty. I think it is better to send someone to Zhenjiang Fort to examine the body first. Otherwise, if a very misleading thing happens, it will be a great blow to the court, and the reputation of your Majesty will be ruined..." An official said extremely toughly.

After hearing this, Yang Jie said it was like eating a fly. From the time when Mao Wenlong sent him a "fake letter", Yang Jie roughly guessed what Mao Wenlong was going to do. Although he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to kill the envoy and hang the head on the city wall, he also guessed that Mao Wenlong would use grenades to raid Donglu, which would definitely have a miraculous effect. What is the effect of throwing hundreds of grenades together? Yang Jie himself saw that Mao Wenlong threw thousands of grenades together. What is the effect? ​​Yang Jie could imagine. Now, his ministers actually doubted that Yang Jie felt unhappy.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that Lord X is right, so it is better not to draw conclusions easily. If Mao Wenlong deceives the emperor and deceives the court, it will be difficult to deal with it. I think it is better to send someone to examine the body first and then celebrate..." Another minister also said politely.

Yang Jing sighed in his heart. It seems that Mao Wenlong has offended many people. It seems that not only one or two people in the court have any objections to Mao Wenlong.

"Hahaha... the few dear ministers are justified and are also planning the country. However, in addition to Mao Wenlong's report, I also have secret reports from the Jinyiwei and the General Staff report, which is naturally not fake..." Although Yang Jingwei was unhappy, he still explained with kindness.

"Your Majesty, I think it's too early to celebrate at this time. I heard that the Donglu was still outside Zhenjiang Fort and did not leave. I also have the intention of fighting again. Your Majesty, I think that we should not celebrate at this time, but should discuss the situation in Zhenjiang Fort, discuss the situation in Dongjiang, and make the worst plans just in case..." Another minister also came out to pour cold water. Anyway, there are many people in the court who don't like Mao Wenlong.

Yang Jing was depressed. This great victory made him feel like he was killed and injured, and the wild boar skin won beautifully.

"Haha, this Qing family makes sense. Although it is necessary to prepare for the next battle, the previous victory can also be celebrated. You may not know how this battle was fought, so you are a little confused about Mao Wenlong's killing of two thousand Eastern Captains and capturing one thousand heads. Haha, Kong Youde..." Yang Jie was in a good mood today and had the patience to explain to these people.

"Here!" Some ministers' ears were numb with a loud voice.

"Kong Youde, have you studied the battle examples of Mao Dashui this time in Zhenjiang Fort?" said Yang Jiefang.

"Return to Your Majesty, the students have seen the battle examples and know some..." Kong Youde was a young general sent to the capital to "train" in Dongjiang Town. He was summoned to the platform by Yang Jing and served as a servant and studied with the emperor. Many times, Sun Chengzong was guiding them, and Sun Chengzong's General Staff was set up on the platform. Therefore, Kong Youde was well-versed in the news about the General Staff. After reading the battle report, he roughly knew how the battle was fought.

"Okay..., you may not know how this battle was fought yet. You can explain it to you and let you understand the process of this battle. Haha, I think, if you understand the process of this battle, you will no longer doubt Mao Wenlong..." Yang Jingwei was in a good mood. With the intention of curing diseases and saving people, he began to "save" some people who only know how to attack Mao Wenlong all day long.

"Yes!" Kong Youde agreed strongly.

Among the ministers, some were ready to speak, but it would be difficult to cut off the thoughts of Kong Youde's sudden shout.

...

"My dear lords, the war is like this. On the 17th, Mao Zedong deceived the Tatars to send more advanced envoys on the grounds of the low level of the messenger. Then, Mao Zedong decided to take risks and take four or five thousand infantrymen to hold the Tartars at Zhenjiang Fort. So, on the 13th, he wrote a fake letter to lure the Tartars to Zhenjiang Fort with fake letters. On the 17th, Mao Zedong deceived the Tartars to send more advanced envoys on the grounds that the level of the messenger was too low. Then, the Grand General killed the envoy and hung the envoy's body on the city wall, deliberately angering the Tartars and seducing the Tartars.

I came to attack the city, and it was just that... For the next battle, sirs, please come to the sand table. The terrain of Zhenjiang Fort has been made here, so that you can see the war more intuitively..." Kong Youde explained while guiding everyone to the sand table. These days, they have used sand tables to deduce possible wars, so they are quite familiar with Zhenjiang Fort, and there are also ready-made terrain sand tables of Zhenjiang Fort, which are now just in handy.

The ministers were still very interested in the emperor's sand table. Many people gathered around the sand table with relish, preparing to see what was going on.

"...The east side of Zhenjiang Fort is a big river, and the north side is a high mountain. It is only the south side and the west side can be attacked. The city walls are all over three meters. There is a moat outside the city, which is an important place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack..."

"... The Tatars first attacked the city. They knew nothing about the tactics of the Ming Dynasty. They thought that our dynasty would fight to the death with the past, so they still used the method of ants to attack the city. What we want to say here is that the Tartars had no cannons, so they could only attack the city like this, that is, climbing the city wall with a ladder, and then suppressing it with elite bows and arrows behind them... However, this time, the tactics of Mao's war were unprecedented... Until the Tartars were approaching the city and climbing the city with ladders, and a lot of Tartars gathered under the city wall... Our Dongjiang Army suddenly threw out thousands of grenades, and thousands of grenades exploded at the same time. You guys, you can imagine how serious the death and injury of the Tartars were.

…, So, what Marshal Mao said in his letter, killing one or two thousand Tartars at a time is definitely not a lie. You know, my Dongjiang army threw thousands of grenades, and one grenade injured one person, which is enough to cause this effect... What is even more rare is that my Dongjiang army has almost no one injured. This has to be said that it is an unprecedented war in history..." Kong Youde came from Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town. He worked very hard to explain his own military record. He directly omitted a lot of things. He directly said that Dongjiang Town flew out of thousands of grenades from the city wall, killing one or two thousand Tartars who siege the city, and focused on introducing that he did not die...

The ministers were confused. The war was so simple. Throwing a few grenades would lead to such great results? One or two thousand Tartars died like this? Not a single person died yet? Although I don’t believe it, everyone has seen what grenades are. If you want to say thousands of grenades suddenly thrown out, the Tartars who were attacking the city would say that they were killed or injured. This is definitely not a lie.

"It's that simple?" asked a minister who had just opposed Mao Wenlong.

"Sir, it's really that simple. The difficulty lies in how to let the Tartars attack the city..." Kong Youde explained with a smile.

"I heard that the Donglu is good at riding and shooting, so why are you not afraid of their bows and arrows? It is said that the Donglu can also hit every shot outside of a hundred steps, so why didn't a single person die..." The minister asked relentlessly, as if he had to ask about Mao Wenlong's words.

"Sir, it's actually very simple, because our Dongjiang army did not show its head at all, and they all rested with the battlements of the city wall. Only when the commander gave the order, he threw grenades behind the battlements of the city wall. No matter how powerful the Tartars are, the arrows cannot penetrate the city wall, right? Therefore, our Dongjiang army is not afraid of Tartars shooting arrows at all, so how could there be any losses..." Kong Youde explained vigorously.

"If you don't show your head, how can you know how the Donglu attacked the city and how to see the situation outside?" The minister continued to ask unwillingly, as if he had to ask for a flaw to reveal Mao Wenlong's lie.

"Sir, it's actually simple. The general flag and hundreds of households have periscopes, which can hide behind the city wall to observe the enemy. The enemy can't see a person on the city wall, and we can't figure out our reality at all. Our Dongjiang Army can see the Tartars clearly. When the Tartars teams arrived under the city wall and were about to climb the city, they threw out grenades. The war was actually so simple..." Kong Youde said with confidence in his commander's record. While saying that, he also took a periscope for the ministers to see.

The minister finally figured out how Mao Wenlong fought. After a long time of confusion, he said, "It's that simple? In other words, Mao Wenlong killed one or two thousand Tartars in just a few breaths? In other words, killing two thousand and capturing nearly a thousand heads is not a false statement? Not a single person has died yet..." The minister finally figured out how Mao Wenlong did it, and he also made up for Mao Wenlong to kill one or two thousand people. In fact, it took a few breaths to figure out this. The minister was speechless and could only say nothing.

When did war become so "easy"?

When did war become so "simple"?

The minister was obsessed for a long time and sighed lightly, "This world has changed!" Then he stopped talking, looking silent, and just now he was strictly guarding against Mao Wenlong's expression and could no longer see such a simple thing. He would do such a simple thing, let alone Mao Wenlong. If he went there, he could get nearly a thousand people in just a few breaths.
Chapter completed!
