Chapter 166: The Ming army was victorious, and the government and the public were shocked

Any soldier present could see it.

The Japanese knives used by Japanese pirates are indeed sharp.

If they still use the old spears and other weapons to fight the Japanese pirates.

Under the influence of high morale, they believed that they could defeat more with less and defeat this group of Japanese pirates who fled to Yingtian.

But it will never be like this battle.

A terrifying record of zero casualties.

That's right, after Hu Yunqiang counted the number of people just now.

All the soldiers couldn't believe it when they discovered that not a single person on their side had died in the battle!

There is not even an ankle sprain, which is most easily discovered when chasing an enemy.

With the double blessing of great victory and zero casualties.

Langzhen has already cast a glow in everyone's mind that they will be invincible in the face of the Japanese pirates.

Some of the soldiers who had slandered Langzhen had their faces burning with panic at this moment.

Some people suddenly slapped themselves in the face, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to Ying Tian to apologize.

All the soldiers wanted to know what kind of god he was who could design such a magical weapon that could completely restrain Japanese pirates.

After seeing the power of Langzhen.

I originally thought that I was a soldier who was thrown into the Japanese country and used as cannon fodder to explore the way.

My mentality changed instantly, a 180-degree change.

I think this is because His Majesty shows sympathy for them, old soldiers, and gives them a job for free.

If His Majesty hadn't asked them to, they would have explored Sado Island and Honshu Island as soon as possible.

These soldiers all wanted to clean up all the Japanese pirates along the coast before setting off.

Hu Yunqiang looked at the morale-boosted soldiers and finally understood the mission of exploring the way to Japan.

Soon after, soldiers from the nearby Gyeonggi Camp came.

There are also county magistrates with government officials.

After discovering the fighting, he hurried over.

Hu Yunqiang revealed his identity and negotiated with these people for a few words.

Then he took all the heads and prisoners, including the Ming scholars who were working as lackeys for the Japanese pirates.

They were all handed over to the county magistrate to help him report his merits to His Majesty.

He himself ordered the soldiers who had just gone through the bloody battle to board the battleship and embark on the journey again.

Although Hu Yunqiang's official position is not high.

But his father was the late Yue Guo Gong Hu Dahai, a famous general of the generation.

Neither the county magistrate nor the garrison in the capital camp dared to take credit for his achievements.

This great victory was soon reported to Yingtian Mansion.

Because Hu Yunqiang left early, and there were many things discussed in the morning.

The news reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, and the morning court was not over yet.

"Hahaha, Hu Yunqiang is indeed a general, and he has not lost his reputation as Duke of Yue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh loudly when he took the battle report sent urgently from the Gyeonggi camp.

This good news came just in time.

The victory in the first battle not only boosted the morale of the Ming army.

It also broke the common people's fear of Japanese pirates due to spreading rumors.

The most important thing is, there is a battle report of this complete victory.

Even the most stubborn courtiers.

I guess I don’t dare to shout anything anymore. The Japanese pirates are fierce and you can’t easily become enemies.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished laughing, he shared his joy with the somewhat confused courtiers.

"My dear friends, today a group of Japanese pirates escaped into the hinterland of Yingtian.

"But they were not very lucky. They met the exploratory army led by Hu Yunqiang to explore the gold and silver mountains of the Japanese country."

"Because our Ming Dynasty's exploration army is equipped with langzhen, which is very capable of restraining the Japanese pirates' long swords, our Ming Dynasty's [-] soldiers killed [-] Japanese pirates and captured [-] Japanese pirates, without any casualties."

Zhu Yuanzhang praised Hu Yunqiang with his mouth, but in his heart he believed that Lin Che was the main contributor in this battle!

If the army goes on an expedition, it is not equipped with wolf guns and bird guns.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that even if he went into battle himself, he would not be able to achieve such a shocking his words fell, the eunuch on the side read Hu Yunqiang's battle report.

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials' expressions changed drastically.

Some people were shocked at how more than two thousand Japanese pirates managed to bypass the blockade along the river and break into Yingtian Mansion.

Some people doubt the authenticity of this battle report.

The Japanese pirates were so ferocious. Hu Yunqiang was just a lieutenant under Tang He and the second son of the late Duke of Yue.

In the past, there were no achievements or impressive military exploits in the military field.

How could we achieve the amazing record of 1000 people wiping out [-] Japanese pirates?

"You think it's unbelievable. Even I couldn't believe it when I saw the battle report."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers, somewhat disbelieving in Hu Yunqiang's military exploits.

He laughed and said: "This battle report is co-signed by the local county magistrate and thousands of households in the Gyeonggi camp."

"The severed heads of Japanese pirates and the captured Japanese pirates are already on their way to Yingtian Mansion."

"I believe that Hu Yunqiang cannot use such a lie that can be easily exposed to falsely claim military merit."

There was originally a scholar who worked as a dog for the Japanese pirates.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not reveal the existence of this person.

You know, although Japanese pirates often harassed coastal villages and towns in the Ming Dynasty.

But something like this could appear in Yingtian Mansion.

Now this is the first time ever.

If there are no officials here, they have lost their official positions due to the reform of the official system.

There were other gentry whose interests were harmed and secretly provided convenience to this group of Japanese pirates.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it even to death.

There are too many things involved here.

If there is no complete evidence, we can only deal with a few puppets on the surface.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to ignore the matter.

Then with the power of thunder, we will liquidate the incident of Japanese pirates massacring the people of Ming Dynasty.

"My Ming Dynasty has produced another general. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"

Hu Weiyong, who was Shanru to figure out the holy will, realized that Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of asking for punishment for the Japanese pirates appearing in Yingtian.

He immediately knelt down and patted the rainbow fart.

Other courtiers with different expressions also agreed.

"Langzhen actually has such power, I will have nothing to worry about in the Ming Dynasty!"

"I request a heavy reward for the hero who researched Langzhen!"

"With the help of wolves and cannons, the defeated troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mobei will fall apart and disintegrate under our Ming army. Our Ming army is invincible in the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, enjoying the flattery of his ministers.

The court hall was filled with praises...

……

at the same time.

Zhu Xi wandered to Confucius Temple carrying the food and drinks from Qingfeng Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Yingtian Mansion.

When he walked into the mansion, he saw Lan Yu dancing with a sword in the yard.

Lin Che should be reading in the hall.

Zhu Feng didn't say hello to Lan Yu, but walked directly across the yard, opened the door, and walked in quietly.

As expected, Lin Che sat there and read quietly.

Seeing Zhu Xi frown slightly, this kid ran here every once in a while.

It's not easy for me to drive him away, but I don't know what tricks he wants to play.

"Zhu Er, didn't you listen to your mother? Don't come here all the time when you have nothing to do. Read more at home and learn more."

Zhu Xi's whole body seemed to be under a restraining spell, standing awkwardly in place.

After a while, he forcefully changed the topic and said:

"Sir, I went to Qingfeng Tower today to have a whole chicken feast for you. These are made by Master Yang, the most famous chef in Quanying Tianfu. They are delicious but not bad. I specially invite you to try them!"

As he spoke, Zhu Xi placed the food and wine on the table and respectfully waited for Lin Che to sit down.
