Wanli Youming

Chapter 516

Chapter 516

Zhu Yijun knew that the rich and powerful bureaucrats who dared to continue hoarding silver were no longer competing for economic interests, but political interests, and for political interests, they even did not hesitate to kill them, in order to redistribute new party officials in the future. The price is to meet the interests of the emperor, and also to allow their old party to earn back the assets that are now being sold cheaply.

But Zhu Yijun didn't want to do that.

He loathes this brutal method of infighting to achieve wealth.

He also didn't want Daming to have a situation in which every chief assistant who did things would end badly, and his wealth would be divided up once.

In this case.

Undoubtedly, it will cause ministers at the first and auxiliary level to have no sense of security in terms of property, and they are only willing to pursue short-term interests. For the long-term interests, he will also seek stability for his family not to be liquidated, although he will not make a lot of money, but will take the initiative to frantically use national resources to curry favor with the majority of vested interests.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng's party must have accumulated a lot of wealth after taking control of the court for so many years, and it must be a lot of gray wealth, but he had no intention of liquidating these people.

It's like he didn't intend to liquidate Zhang Juzheng.

As an emperor from a later generation, it is impossible for him to only stare at the people in the country, or even do cunning things, knowing that there is a lot of wealth outside that has not been seized.

Now Zhu Yijun is eager to watch Zhang Zuo from Dongying, just to find out whether Magui has won more benefits for him from the outside world to solve a series of political and economic crises in the country caused by the lack of silver.

Ma Gui did not disappoint Zhu Yijun.

After he led the army to Kokura Castle, he immediately launched a counterattack against Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army, and used the method of land and water joint operations to first occupy Kayama Castle and Yamaguchi Castle, cutting off Toyotomi Hideyoshi's retreat, and with a few elite firearms The Thunderbolt with the latest equipment attacked Toyotomi Hideyoshi's grain road first, forcing Toyotomi Hideyoshi to order Sengoku Hidehisa to lead an army of [-] to return to the army's grain road first.

In terms of the knowledge of combat command, Toyotomi Hideyoshi suffered a great loss as soon as the Ming army, which has accumulated thousands of years of military history, came up.

Then, Xianshi Xiujiu was caught by Magui for a wild ambush.

The 200 main force of the Ming army blocked Sengoku Hideyoshi's retreat with artillery and firecrackers, and then wiped out all the troops under Sengoku Hideyoshi. The four-nation daimyo, Sengoku Hideyoshi, was captured alive, and was forced to agree to pay [-] million taels of Dabai silver, and cede Tang Zhucheng for The Daming Navy is stationed, and Daming will give him a chance to fight chaos and continue to be a famous name in the four countries.

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not stupid, and did not passively wait to be beaten.

then.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi resolutely gave up the attack on Kokura Castle when he heard that Sengoku Hidehisa was defeated and his food supply was cut off, and when he realized that the Ming army had already landed in China (the name of the Japanese region) and took his own route. , And led the army to retreat to Yingwei City.

However, during the retreat, the Daming Navy suddenly appeared from the direction of Shikoku Yuzuki, and attacked Toyotomi Hideyoshi's fleet, causing nearly 3 people in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's department to die in the belly of the fish.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was also deeply afraid after seeing the huge fleet of bird ships of the Ming army. He knew that he had underestimated the Ming Empire just like Xi Yi did.

At this time, Magui first sent troops to the Iwami area controlled by the Japanese daimyo Mori Terumoto, and surrounded Iwami Castle.

Because the Japanese daimyo Mori Terumoto had led his troops and horses to attack Kyushu with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and because his department was dominated by naval forces, he suffered the most serious damage as early as when Toyotomi Hideyoshi withdrew to China, and also As a result, the general of Mori Terumoto's department, Nakagawa Kiyozaemon, who was guarding here with 2000 people, could not wait for the reinforcements.

But Ma Gui strictly ordered the Ming army not to capture Iwami City.

As the commander in chief, Ma Gui has his own considerations.

Moreover, the difference between him and Li Rusong is that Li Rusong likes to see the opportunity to attack decisively, but Ma Gui likes to take one step at a time, thinking about the next one before the immediate combat goal is completed.

This reflects the difference in the command habits of the two in the history of Wanli's aid to the dynasty.

Therefore, when Magui strictly ordered the Ming army not to capture Iwami Castle but had to bombard the city with cannons every day, Magui deliberately asked the Japanese monks to inform Toyotomi Hideyoshi of the news that Iwami Castle was still surrounded by the Ming army.

Iwami Ginzan is the foundation for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to dominate the world, he can't sit idly by, and considering that Mori Terumoto's vitality has been seriously injured, and because he knows that Iwami Ginzan is only a small Ming army, he personally leads the army Come to Shijian Yinshan, want to hit this small group of greedy Ming army by surprise, and boost morale by the way.

result.

However, he was in the valley of Yue Mountain in the Wa Kingdom, surrounded by [-] Ming soldiers, [-] Korean soldiers, [-] Yehe Nuzhen soldiers, and [-] Japanese soldiers.

As a result, Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell into a bitter battle, and his troops were killed to the point of bleeding. Not to mention the Ming army with superb firearms, they couldn't deal with them. Even the Jurchen soldiers with strong physique made them suffer. Fight back and get a chance to breathe for a while.

But Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was in a desperate situation, could hardly turn around. After Magui personally came to order the Ming army to start a general offensive, Toyotomi Hideyoshi could only lead his own elites to rush to Magui's central army, and wanted to die with Magui. .

After all, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Chinese army has fought in Japan for so many years, and its combat effectiveness is still quite strong. The charge is very orderly, and the iron cannons used are also very sophisticated. , and retreated one after another, gradually collapsing.

However, after Wang Rulong, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, personally led the veterans to kill several deserters, the recruits of the Beijing camp quickly recovered a lot of combat power, and reorganized to block the offensive of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's department.

At the same time, Wang Rulong personally launched a counter-charge under his command.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's main force was completely overwhelmed. He was taller than himself, had a higher armor equipment rate than himself, had more advanced firearms, and had more people than himself. Moreover, the Ming army who charged from uphill to downhill had a better geographical advantage. Had to collapse completely.

Seeing this, Ma Gui ordered more Ming troops to rush over, trying to kill more Japanese.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is too short, more than 1.3 meters, so he can't run as fast as others. In addition, his army has completely collapsed, and he doesn't care about him, so soon the long-legged Ming army has caught up Surrounded him with a fighting spirit and surrounded him in the middle.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi had to stand still, turned around and drew his sword, and looked up at these Ming soldiers.

Then, Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried his best to look at the Ichimei Army who was closest to him.

But because the Ming army was very tall, he didn't fight back. He just pressed his head with his hands, so that Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not move, and the knife in his hand could only be chopped on the waist armor of the Ming army, which could not cause damage. What kills, it's like an adult man holding down a seven-year-old child who was hacking with a knife.

It has been 15 years since the reform of the Ming Dynasty. If the reform of the Longqing period is included, the quality of life of young Han men under the age of 30 has improved a lot because the world has been ruled for more than [-] years, and the phenomenon of malnutrition among the common people has greatly improved. Improvement, the average height has also been raised a lot, and Li Dafu, the bright soldier in front of him, is even nine feet tall. He was only a flag bearer, but now because the whole army is attacking, he relied on his long feet to rush over first, and he It made Toyotomi Hideyoshi very helpless in front of him, and he didn't look like an overlord at all.

Li Dafu still supported Toyotomi Hideyoshi's waist, lifted him up, and carried him back to the central army tent.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi kicked his limbs into the air and yelled, but no matter how much he yelled, it was useless. Li Dafu didn't let him go until he was entrusted to Magui.

"Why is he short and thick?"

After seeing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Magui couldn't help saying something, and then he ordered Toyotomi Hideyoshi to be detained.

Later, Ma Gui began to order the capture of Iwami Castle.

Nakagawa Kiyozaemon chose to commit suicide by caesarean section after Iwami Castle was captured.

After the Ming army captured Iwami City, they confiscated a large amount of silver in Iwami City and controlled the entire Iwami Silver Mountain.

half a month later.

Magui passed a secret report to Zhu Yijun, saying that he had captured Toyotomi Hideyoshi alive, and according to his secret purpose, he had stolen more than 200 million taels of silver from Ishijian in Ishijian City, and found that there was a big silver mountain in Ishijianguo after inspection. Now the annual output of silver is between 300 and [-] million taels. If the more advanced mining technology of this dynasty is adopted, the annual output of silver taels and [-] million taels can be realized.
