Chapter 724 A good start
Zeng Shengwu is very sympathetic to the suffering of the Korean people. This is emotional, but it is irrational to make decisions in court because of sympathy. , it is a very stupid act to carry someone to your own home to cry. The carnivorous king of Korea harmed his own people for his own benefit, which has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
The main reason why he proposed to enter the army was because of the strategic considerations of the Ming army's entry into North Korea, which required a strong fulcrum, and Yizhou was the key.
Most of the borders of countries with long histories are natural borders, which are formed by geographical environments such as rivers, mountain peaks, passes, etc. The same is true for the borders of Ming Dynasty and North Korea.
After the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, it took the northern part of the Korean Peninsula as its own and quickly gave up this part because the northern part of the Korean Peninsula was too barren, without enough land, precipitation, and mountains. Numerous reasons, such as inconvenient roads, were the reasons why the Tang Dynasty abandoned the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
Since the Yalu River was established as the border during the Xuande period, the Ming Dynasty has no longer regarded the direction of North Korea as a strategic direction. Or under the influence of the actuarial wind, the North Pingdusi, Hetao, Jiaozhi Thirteenth Division, Jiugang Xuanwei Division, The Governor's Palace of Luzon and the Three Proclaims and Six Welfares were all abandoned one after another, and the Ming Dynasty showed a trend of complete contraction.
The natural boundary means that if the Ming Dynasty wants to intervene in the situation on the Korean Peninsula, it will have to pay huge human and material costs. This is not cost-effective, and may even affect the overall strategy of the Ming Dynasty. It will invest more in the Korean Peninsula. The opening of the sea by the Ming Dynasty, the reopening of the Western Regions, and the management of the Indochina Peninsula will all be reduced accordingly. It will become a foregone conclusion that the Korean Peninsula will drag down the Ming Dynasty.
However, this battle must be fought, and the Japanese pirates must not come ashore.
In this case, the sooner Yiju is captured, the sooner a port is built, and the sooner the fulcrum of strategic offensive is obtained, it will be extremely precious.
Zeng Shengwu was an extreme conservative, and all his decisions were based on the interests of Ming Dynasty.
"So what do you think?" Zhu Yijun asked the Ming ministers what they thought.
The Sixth Department elaborated on their ideas. In the end, the court agreed that the vanguard battalion led by Ma Lin should be urged to rush to Jiuliancheng. The moment the cavalry battalion arrived, the two thousand soldiers of Jiuliancheng immediately crossed the river. , entered Yiju.
The specific details of the battle are completely determined by the military generals on the front line.
"Qi Shuai, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry camp labored on the expedition. This was the time when the soldiers were rushing from Liaodong to Yizhou. They traveled through mountains and rivers and slept in the open air. All the soldiers were the most exhausted. Is there anything wrong with attacking at this time? ?" Zhu Yijun had no doubts about the overall decision, but he felt sorry for the Ming Dynasty Cavalry Battalion. The Pioneer Battalion led by Ma Lin had just arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River and was about to prepare for battle without rest.
"Your Majesty, North Korea was defeated too quickly. In just nineteen days, Seoul was lost. How long can Kaicheng and Pyongyang survive?" Qi Jiguang said helplessly: "I also want to ride in the camp. Rest, but time waits for no one. If Yizhou is also captured by Japanese pirates, crossing the river will become even more dangerous. "
"Your Majesty, the cavalry camp is the elite of the elite troops in the Beijing camp. I still have great confidence in the soldiers in the Beijing camp."
"Then just follow what Commander Qi said." Zhu Yijun thought about it and finally decided They accepted Qi Jiguang's statement and gave Ma Lin's 3,000-strong vanguard battalion an additional burden. The situation changed beyond Ming's expectations, and the time came to test the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp.
The performance of Jingying did not disappoint the emperor. Just like the slogan of Jingying, it is always ready.
There is a very obvious information gap between the Ming Dynasty court and the front line. This is because of the distance. The Ming Emperor issued an order to attack. The order was passed to Li Chengliang of Liaodong. Li Chengliang then ordered to Jiulian City. This section of the road is very The long distance and the information gap caused by this distance made Zhu Yijun worried about the lag in the court's orders, so he wanted to give Li Chengliang the power to act expediently.
But due to various reasons, before the war begins, this chaotic command system can only be like this temporarily. Once the war begins, the frontline generals will have more leeway. This chaotic and lagging command will will be greatly improved.
You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.
The cavalry camp led by Marin consisted of three thousand people. Because he was a vanguard, he did not need to bring too much baggage. He had five horses per person, a pair of armor, and weapons and equipment. When he arrived at Jiulian City, The imperial edict from the Ming Emperor had not yet arrived at Jiulian City. After resting in the Pioneer Camp for five full days, and when the cavalry battalion of the Pioneer Camp was idle enough to prepare for hunting as a training mission, the Ming Emperor's imperial edict finally arrived.
The postman rushed to Jiulian City at high speed. He learned that Ma Lin was at the school grounds and hurried back.
It’s not that the post soldiers ran slowly, it was that Marin’s cavalry camp was too fast and fully utilized its mobility. Originally, each of the cavalry battalions only had three horses. When the vanguard battalion marched, Li Chengliang provided additional It took six thousand war horses to achieve such speed.
The military general of Jiulian City is Zhao Ji from the fifth rank Qianhu, who is a powerful general under Wang Rulong.
Zhao Jixingqi turned out to be a vegetable farmer in Caihuying, the capital of Shuntian Prefecture. The Sun family in the city owed Caihuying money. Zhao Laoqi complained. It turned out that it was the common people who were wronged, not the master. At that time, the magistrate of Miyun County, Shuntian Prefecture, did not dare to She protected Mrs. Sun and asked her to pay back the money. Mrs. Sun was so angry that she came to the door with her servants.
After hearing this, the magistrate of Miyun County rushed there with the government officials, fearing that Zhao Laoqi would be beaten by Sun, which would make things more troublesome. However, under the obstruction of the government officials, Zhao Laoqi was beaten to death with a hammer. A servant of the Sun family smashed a stick to death with a hammer. It can be said that a man blocked a murderer and a god blocked a murderer. He was extremely brave.
In the end, Zhao Ji was exiled to Yingchang and was exiled to the army. This was almost equivalent to the death penalty. At that time, even the Tuman Khan was still wreaking havoc on the grassland.
Before being exiled, Zhu Yijun met Zhao Laoqi. Hearing that Zhao Laoqi was brave, Zhu Yijun was so happy to see Zhao Laoqi that he wrestled with Zhao Laoqi. He was the best young master of Ming Dynasty who eats fine food , although he won, his hands were shaking. At that time, Zhao Laoqi was eating whole grains. At the age of sixteen, he had only eaten meat a few times.
Zhao Ji's bravery made him like a fish in water in Yingchang Mansion.
At this time, on the Jiuliancheng campus, Zhao Ji and Ma Lin were shirtless, half-crouched, leaning forward, circling around to test each other, and they were wrestling.
The way the military solves problems is always a bit simple. Of course, in the eyes of scholars, this shirtless fighting is really a bit indecent and a barbaric act.
But a general whose subordinates are all elite, a brave general who has been on the battlefield and guards the border. Even if the two of them meet in a friendly manner, the elite of the Beijing camp and the soldiers guarding the border are not interested in each other. Will be convinced.
In the eyes of the border guards, who are the elite soldiers in the Beijing camp? A group of young soldiers who have never been on the battlefield; in the eyes of the elite soldiers in the Beijing camp, are they veterans of hundreds of battles? Without discipline and carelessness, how could they be handed over to them on the battlefield?
Fighting is so normal, so Ma Lin and Zhao Ji went shirtless and started wrestling. Whoever wins will be more powerful, and they will follow the lead.
As soon as they got started, both Ma Lin and Zhao Ji put away their contempt for each other. Experts would know if the idea was too tricky as soon as they took action.
Ma Lin's skills are even better, but Zhao Ji's strength is not what a human should have at all!
This was the first time that Ma Lin felt that he was not as strong as his opponent. Even Li Rusong's strength was on par with Ma Lin's.
Moreover, Zhao Ji was only sixteen years old when he was exiled to Yingchang. He has grown a lot taller in the past few years, and everyone in the army calls Zhao Ji General Xiong, nicknamed Xiong Zong.
As the name suggests, General Xiong looks like a bear and weighs more than ten kilograms more than Marin.
"Ah!" Zhao Ji rolled his eyes, suddenly let out a violent roar, and rushed forward. He had already figured out his own advantages in a short period of time. If his skills were inferior to those of others, then he would lose ten points!
He grabbed Marin and started the purest strength competition, pushing and pushing.
Ma Lin was about to suffer a secret passage. Zhao Ji, whose face was red and veins were trembling, pushed Ma Lin with all his strength. At this time, Ma Lin's skills were useless. As long as he relaxed in any other way, He will be pushed out of the boundary, and he can only use his strength to push Marin.
"Ah!" Zhao Ji roared again, burst out with all his strength, and began to push Marin. Marin was slightly weaker and was slowly but firmly pushed out of the boundary step by step.
"Okay!" The Jiulian City border troops burst into loud cheers because their General Xiong won.
In the previous archery competition, Marin won. Ma Lin could shoot the Tiger Power Bow and hit three out of three arrows, while Zhao Ji could also shoot the Tiger Power Bow and only hit two out of three arrows.
Now Zhao Ji has regained his position and regained the game.
"I can't beat you." Zhao Ji panted and pulled Ma Lin up and said quite loudly. This was not to give Wu Xun the face, but because he really couldn't beat you, and he also told himself Soldiers, don’t get me wrong.
There are rules for wrestling in the army. Many of the three-way and killing moves cannot be used. If it really comes to the battlefield, Zhao Ji will be killed by Marin in maybe ten rounds. Because Zhao Ji’s paths are all wild.
"After this battle, I will ask my father to recommend you to the martial arts school." Ma Lin stood up, stretched out his hand, bumped Zhao Ji hard with his shoulder, and held Zhao Ji's hand The hand said: "With the help of ten thousand people, the world is invincible!"
"With the efforts of ten thousand people, the world is invincible!" Zhao Ji showed a simple smile and shouted to everyone.
"The imperial edict has arrived!" He quickly rode into the school grounds of Jiulian City, and the postman on horseback delivered the urgent imperial edict with a golden plaque to Ma Lin's hands.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the Pioneer Battalion will enter Yizhou immediately upon its arrival." Ma Lin opened it and looked at it for a moment and said: "Zhao Qianhu, prepare to enter the North to fight. I will hold the battle for you."
After Zhao Ji confirmed the imperial edict, he immediately began to prepare to cross the river. In fact, he had already prepared it and was waiting for the order to be given.
When Ma Lin looked at the imperial edict, he had other ideas. The Ming Emperor completely abandoned the Korean royal family and the group of meat eaters. All previous decisions of the Ming Dynasty had to consider one issue. The Korean royal family was What do you think, that is to regard the North Korean meat eaters as human beings, but now, Ming Dynasty has completely ignored the thoughts of the North Korean royal family.
Marin is a military general. It is normal for military generals to keep some hawks and dogs. However, some military generals do. These beasts cannot tell the difference between kings and kings, and they dare to grin at their masters. Not only does grinning, they also bite people. , these dogs who dare to bite people will have one fate, and that is dog meat hot pot.
Marin doesn’t understand much about politics. He feels that the relationship between Ming Dynasty and North Korea is the relationship between the owner and the eagle dogs. Before, Ming Dynasty was still concerned about the thoughts of the North Korean royal family, so these eagle dogs began to show their teeth, start to dig their noses, and began to It bites people and even catches Duke Ming of the imperial court a bit off guard.
The moment when the Ming Dynasty did not regard the Korean royal family as human beings, it meant that the Ming Dynasty had truly made up its mind to completely solve the problem in the Northeast, solve it once and for all, completely occupy and transform the Northeast, and not let the Northeast Direction once again becomes a burden in rising.
Marin is happy to see this change in attitude.
"There is a 172-mile-long stretch of the Yalu River that will not freeze. You lead a thousand people to cross the river at Ji'an Ferry in Jiulian City, and I will lead a thousand cavalry battalions to follow. If North Korea surrenders, , We will build a bridge at Ji'an Ferry within three days, and strive to connect Jiuliancheng and Yizhou." After Ma Lin put on his armor, he came to the Chinese army's tent and began to make specific arrangements. .
"If the bridge is not repaired within three days, prepare to retreat. If the bridge is not repaired within five days, retreat immediately." Marin made further arrangements.
Fight down and retreat just because the bridge is not repaired. This is Marin's conservative battle plan. Because of the weather, the lives of the Ming soldiers are more important than anything else. There is no bridge as a supply. Once the Yalu River begins If Ling flood occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
On the 23rd of the first lunar month, it is already past the beginning of spring. The ice in the upper reaches begins to thaw, which will block the river and prevent ships from passing normally. An army without logistics is waiting to die, especially when fighting in Korea. Not fighting within the territory. The Ming Dynasty only had 5,000 troops in Jiulian City. The loss of 2,000 men was an unbearable price.
The vanguard is defeated, and the army is defeated like a mountain. It can easily lead to a great rout. If the Japanese pirates were allowed to invade the Ming Dynasty, then he, Marin, would be a criminal in history. If the emperor did not kill him, he would have to commit suicide to apologize.
Ma Lin said with a solemn expression: "If General Yizhou wants to defend the city, he will break the city and take them into custody. Be careful to take all the defeated soldiers into custody. If they disobey discipline, kill them on the spot to prevent chaos. .”
The imperial court completely gave up the idea of worrying about the Korean royal family, which brought a lot of convenience to the battle. Without top-down pressure, the Ming army became more calm in advancing and retreating during the campaign.
In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, hundreds of small boats at Ji'an Ferry began to slide slowly towards the other side of the Yalu River. As soon as Zhao Ji landed, he took the lead and headed towards Yizhou. At the same moment that Zhao Ji came ashore, Marin put down the telescope in his hand, waved his arms, waved the tooth flag, and the ship under his feet began to slide.
Ma Lin is actually worried. There is a lot of movement from the Ming army, and there are frequent exchanges between Jiuliancheng and Yizhou on the opposite side. Yizhou must know everything about Jiuliancheng. If the Yizhou army crosses halfway, As for attacking, or setting up an ambush at the ferry, the Ming army would probably have to pay some price.
But none of this happened.
After Marin crossed the river, good news came. Zhao Ji took over the defense of Yizhou, and everything went very smoothly.
The generals guarding Yizhou City were very clear about the news that Ming Dynasty was going to cross the river today. When Zhao Ji rushed to Yizhou City, the gates of the adobe city wall were wide open, and the civil and military officials in the city had been waiting for a long time, waiting to surrender.
The Ming Dynasty felt that Yizhou would resist, but the Yizhou side was worried that the Ming army would not come. It was true that they were afraid of both sides. The Japanese pirates were fierce and fierce, and the civil and military forces of Yizhou were also worried that the Japanese pirates would come that day. Not here yet.
Now, the Great Tomorrow Soldiers are here!
The Japanese pirates landed on the Korean Peninsula from Tsushima Island. It only took 19 days for Seoul to fall. Under such circumstances, Uiju civil and military officials no longer had any confidence in the King of Joseon. When I was panicking, I suddenly heard that the Ming Dynasty army was coming. Regardless of whether there was an order from the King of Joseon or not, no matter what they came to do, Yiju Civil and Military found the backbone.
The Ming Dynasty army quickly took over all defenses, and then sent out the Duntai Yuanhou to collect various intelligence. Soon a huge problem was placed in front of the Ming Dynasty army, that is, those who fled to Yizhou City There are simply too many refugees.
The front line was collapsing and the people were fleeing. However, the North Korean King Li Xin transferred all the grain and grass from Yiju to Pyongyang. Li Xin shouted the slogan of "live and die with Pyongyang" and decided to fight the Japanese pirates to the death in Pyongyang.
"Duntai Yuan Hou found out that Li Huo shouted such a slogan in Seoul, shrinking his troops, and all the food and grass entered Seoul. Before the Japanese invaders came to the city, Li Huo abandoned everyone and took the clan with him. The minister of civil and military affairs fled to Kaicheng, and Seoul was defeated without attack," Zhao Ji said with a solemn expression.
Seoul is the only city in North Korea with masonry walls, along with Kaesong and Pyongyang.
The city of Seoul is surrounded for thirty miles, and if Li Huo does not run away, a gentleman will die in the country, nineteen days? It would take a year to defeat the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates came from afar and lacked the firearms to attack the city, but Li Huo ran away with his clan and ministers, and people's hearts immediately dispersed. The most important thing is that the food and grass in southern Korea were concentrated in Seoul, and were all left to the Japanese pirates .
"The same mistake can be made twice!" Marin frowned and looked at the map.
Food and grass from northern North Korea are also concentrated in Pyongyang. This time Li Yu vowed to coexist and die with Pyongyang, but no one believes it anymore, and the number of refugees in Yiju is increasing.
"What should we do? Should we save these refugees or not? If we don't save them, we will be disloyal. I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future. If we save them, where will there be so much food?" Zhao Ji asked Ma Lin for his opinion.
This difficulty is like disaster relief. Work-for-relief is a universal solution, but before using work-for-relief, we must give them something to stutter so as not to turn from refugees into bandits, and organize production. It is a very tedious job, and it is a huge challenge for the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
“Can you get some food and grass from Pyongyang?” Zhao Ji put forward his own solution.
"If not, we have asked for it many times." The officials who surrendered in Yizhou looked as ugly as possible. Surrendering directly was a difficult choice. Who would you choose to be a traitor?
But the princes and nobles in Pyongyang have gone too far! Countless refugees poured into Yizhou, and the number was still increasing. Yizhou asked for food and grass relief, or at least to open porridge shacks to help people survive, but Li Hao refused.
"Report!" A Marquis of Totai Yuan hurriedly ran into the main hall of Yishuzhou Yamen, bowed his head and said: "Report! The first, second and third Japanese pirate regiments, Konishi Yukinagawa and Kato Kiyomasa , Kuroda Nagamasa and others led troops to besiege Imjin and broke through in three days. Imjin’s defenders died fighting to the death, and Kaesong was in danger!”
After the Chinese New Year, the Japanese pirates divided into three directions from Seoul and continued to attack. , surrounded on three sides, Linjin was captured.
"Kaesong is already the last line of defense. If Kaesong is defeated, Pyongyang will be unable to hold on. Defeat is already a certainty." Marin quickly made a judgment. When the army is defeated, it will always be defeated. , only by winning a big victory can the scattered people's hearts be united.
Linjin was originally a good opportunity, but the Japanese pirates' offensive was extremely rapid.
"More refugees will flood into Yiju. Should we save them or not?" Zhao Ji asked Ma Lin about his decision.
"Save." Marin said immediately: "The Ming Dynasty can't save them, they have to save themselves. Now immediately implement military control on the ground in Yiju. All the grain and fields in the city will be confiscated and rationed. The rescue is Of course they need to be rescued, but all the refugees have to work, reclaiming wasteland, building bridges, building roads, and building ports and docks.”
“There are 70,000 people in Uiju itself, and the number of refugees continues to flow in. The number of refugees may be as high as possible. More than 100,000, and the summer harvest is in mid-June. In the past six months, at least 300,000 kilograms of food are needed. Does Yizhou have so much food? "
Ma Lin’s cultural class is under the whipping of his father. After passing the test, Marin quickly got an answer to the question of how much so many people would eat. In order to prevent unexpected things from happening, Marin made the most conservative estimate of three hundred thousand dan.
"I don't know." Yizhou officials looked at each other. They didn't know how much food Yizhou could collect.
"Zhao Qianhu, you come here to find food." Ma Lin immediately made arrangements, and the North Koreans couldn't count on them at all.
Any article needs logic, but when interests are competing, logic is often not considered.
As the king of North Korea, Li Ao has already abandoned his people once in Seoul. Will Li Ao abandon his people again in this battle in Pyongyang? Ma Lin thinks that Li Huo will definitely do it. This guy is a habitual offender.
Ma Lin and Zhao Ji hope to solve the problem of refugees in the Yiju War. This is also based on interests. Once these refugees are really appeased, these refugees will be the greatest support for the Ming Dynasty in the Korean War, and even the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. The greatest support for the Japanese war.
To appease these refugees, Marin chose to take action against the local landlords in Yizhou.
On the third day, the bridge was successfully erected. It was a huge stone bridge. This stone bridge was two miles long and three feet wide. It had thirteen piers and twelve holes. The only problem with the bridge is that it will block the river, but it was built during the war. If it really needs to be used for shipping, it can be demolished and rebuilt when there is time after the war.
On the fifth day, Zhao Ji finally confiscated all the granaries on the ground in Yizhou. On the second day after the Ming army occupied Yizhou, rationing began. By the fifth day, , Zhao Ji collected a total of 430,000 shi of food and grass from the ground of Yizhou. In addition to being enough to rescue the refugees in Yizhou, it could also supply the Ming Dynasty cavalry camp for two months.
“A total of 430,000 koku of millet, wheat, buckwheat, millet, etc. have been put into storage, and another 150,000 bundles of fodder have been put into storage. There will be no problem until the summer harvest. These 150,000 bundles of forage will be used to build buildings near Uiju. Thatched cottage, and each family was given twelve pounds of fodder for heating." Zhao Ji looked around and continued: "Currently, the Liaodong Army's 1,200 soldiers have been reduced to parts, leading the people of Yizhou to reclaim wasteland and work because of the opening of the porridge shed. The enthusiasm is very high. "
Building thatched cottages to house the people will freeze to death if they are not built, and the reason for providing warmth is that fodder is the only thing that the poor coolies can keep warm.
The most important work that these 1,200 soldiers did in Yingchang was not fighting, but reclaiming wasteland, digging ditches, wells, and building forts. After all, not long after the Ming Dynasty captured Yingchang, the Tuman Khan came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to do some work. He killed the prince, and Anda Khan was beheaded by the Ming Dynasty in the ninth year of Wanli. The large-scale war was over, and the rest were all bandits.
After Wang Rulong arrived in Liaodong, Zhao Ji was assigned to Jiulian City because he was very good at fighting. The main responsibility of these 1,200 soldiers now is not to fight, but to lead the people in production.
North Korea has been virtually destroyed, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to transport grain and grass without restrictions. The refugees living in Yiju can only save themselves. If the king of Joseon does not save them, the Ming Dynasty cannot save them. Self-reliance, adequate food and clothing, this This is the meaning of reclaiming wasteland.
Like most people in the Ming Dynasty, the people in North Korea were also very hard-working. After a brief five-day small-scale riot, they gradually stabilized, mainly because the Ming Army was here. These people chose to believe in the Ming Army.
"We have received new news. Li Huo left Pyongyang and came to Yiju." Ma Lin told everyone the bad news with a solemn face, and Li Huo ran away again.
He fled in Seoul, in Kaesong, and now in Pyongyang, abandoning his people and soldiers, and headed towards Uiju with his clan and civil and military ministers.
The corner of Zhao Ji's mouth twitched and he said sternly: "This beast."
If Li Huo can last three months in Pyongyang, the Ming army will be able to reach North Korea. By then, in order to unite, we must work together To destroy the Japanese, the Ming Emperor might have pinched his nose and let this beast enter the Ming Dynasty and become an offline prince. As a result, Li Huo ran away again, and the fall of Pyongyang became a matter of time.
"Should we rush to Pyongyang's aid?" Zhao Ji said with a frown: "Without Pyongyang, if you go north, there will be no city to defend. Pyongyang is a big city after all."
Ma Lin took a deep breath and said: "We must rush to help. Yesterday, Dingzhou and Anzhou civil and military forces came to surrender. I led the Pioneer Battalion to Anzhou, ready to support Pyongyang at any time. If I meet Li Huan, I will kill him Catch him and lock him up in Jiuliancheng after you take over. Don’t let the Korean clan stay in Korea.”
"Yes." Zhao Ji agreed. He thought carefully and did not persuade Marin not to go to Dingzhou. The Pioneer Camp would not be in any danger because the Japanese pirates had no cavalry, only five horses per person. When the Golden Family was at its peak, they did not have any. Such luxury.
Marin's vanguard battalion must ensure that the war will not reach the strategic fulcrum of Yiju before the cavalry battalion arrives in Yiju.
Ma Lin wrote a battle report about the situation and sent it to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he led the three thousand pioneer battalion to set off for Dingzhou again.
“A good start, the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp can move.” When Zhu Yijun received the battle report, he spoke highly of the contributions of Ma Lin and Zhao Ji.
