Chapter 1495 Trouble
Pigs are much stronger than rebels.

Especially wild boar in England.

If the two low-level samurai and four ashigaru were replaced by six wild boars, the rebels and villagers in the entire village would definitely end up much worse than this.

After Uesugi Jingsheng finished counting the situation on the front line and reported it to Ying Mingna, the situation would be much clearer.

No matter how confused the encounter was, in terms of equipment, whether it was the standards of low-level samurai or ashigaru, their equipment was very complete; the opponent was a group of rebels who didn't even have decent clothes.

The terrain was also favorable to them. There were three battles in one afternoon. The first confrontation was when six people squatted outside the village. The rebels were routed.

In the second battle, they were surrounded by rebels coming from all directions on the street. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hid in the best stone house in the village. , and then jumped out of the window, and one of them, who had a crossbow arrow in his leg during the battle, was captured and killed.

The third battle took place in the woods outside the village. The rebels chased into the woods but killed several people. Fear prevented them from entering the forest, and they rushed into the forest until there were too many people. Halfway through the fight, the reinforcements of the samurai rushed to the forest. Arrived, wiped out this group of rebels.

Fighting here is not unaccustomed to Uesugi Jingsheng. The mission area assigned to them by Yingming has a combat radius of only 150 miles. This is the battle they are most accustomed to. It is almost equivalent to fighting from Sanhe to Yuanjiang , In the past they also fought like this.

In this area, there are dozens of nests of rebels and thieves scattered. If they are allowed to gather their troops, they may gather into an army of thousands of people.

It was a very difficult problem in Ying Ming's hands, but in the hands of Jing Sheng, who had many soldiers and generals, he defeated them one by one and wiped them out in less than half a month.

Jing Sheng did a good job, Ying Ming gave them credit with a smile, and immediately called Jing Sheng to the side hall of the yamen.

"The general won the battle. Ying should let the general rest for a while. The commander also has an order to choose a piece of land here, and Uesugi Weiyong will town Situ, just like Hulanwei in North Asia."

"But today the general cannot rest."

Jing Sheng's hearing is fine, but he has a problem with Chinese, and he himself knows how many people in Jincheng have been abducted by him, so he tries not to say anything, just nods slightly.

Ying Ming unfolded the map, pointed to a mountainous area in the north of London, and said, "General Liu Ruguo has been here for several months to train soldiers and horses. The military government has just sent him a batch of supplies. He intends to fight north again. What support."

"I want the general to go north to completely wipe out the remnants. This battle may last for a long time. If I win, I will show my merits to the army for the general and enter Yilandu to command the envoy."

Uesugi Jingsheng's expression obviously changed when he heard the word "du commander envoy", he seemed to be holding back and asked: "Then those southern barbarians under the general's command, will they join the war?"

In Ying Ming's ears, the southern barbarians can almost refer to all people who look different from them.

But here, it refers specifically to the Spaniards under Yang Ce's command.

Ying Ming said with a smile: "They won't join the war, they are going to the Netherlands. After all, the Western Kingdom is too close. They are different from us. It is enough to use them to fight a few battles, but the imperial court will not give them official positions."

"If I march north." He asked, "What grade?"

"At least let's all direct things, Zheng Sanpin."

To be honest, Jing Sheng's way of asking Ying Ming's head was a little hard to turn around. When will these overseas soldiers care about rank? The power in their hands is the most important thing.

When he first came here, Yingming was just a trial household, no matter how much land he laid down, the official position would follow.

If you break the siege of Puli, you will become a general of Puzhou; if the soldiers enter London, even if the overall situation is settled, this is not the commander-in-chief.

In Ying Ming's opinion, as long as the two islands of Yilan and Lanzhou achieve long-term peace, after the establishment of the Commander-in-Chief, he must be the Commander-in-Chief, and he can also serve as a governor in the Eastern Army Mansion, wouldn't it be great.

He didn't know that Jing Sheng had been thinking that his adoptive father, Qian Xin, was the commander of the Yue guards, and he was a third-rank official. His successor would always surpass his adoptive father.

"If the general wants to rank, I have a way."

"When the Yilan Island rebel army is put down, you will be honored to be the commander of Yilandu, and I will propose to the military government on your behalf to conquer Danno."

Ying Ming said, pointing to the east which does not exist on the map, said: "There are two countries here, which were once allies with the barbarians, and sooner or later they will be attacked. There are also some barbarian tribes in the east."

Looking at Jing Sheng's expression, Ying Ming's tone was quite bewitching, and he said, "Second rank is not a problem."

Although bewitched, what Yingming said was the truth, if Jing Sheng could lead his troops to conquer all three countries, let alone a mere second rank, he would be no problem even if he was conferred a title.

Jing Sheng leaned back abruptly, cupped his hands and said, "I'll go to conquer the southern barbarians in the north. General, can you send people to Japan, allowing me to recruit another ten thousand people?"

"Recruit another ten thousand people? They can't keep up with Beizheng."

"We don't use them in the Northern Expedition, but we use them in the Eastern Expedition."

Yingming was so happy with this sentence, he applauded and said, "Don't worry, you can choose capable officials and cronies, 30 people, I will send a boat and send people back to the Dongyang Army Mansion, and ask the commander for the next recruiting." Let them go to Japan to recruit troops."

"In this case, I am willing to go." Jing Sheng looked at the map and said, "This battle will take a long time, I hope the general will not urge me to enter the army, the Nanman rebels are no different from Yikui, and there are too many people to unite sincerely "The general trend is with me, and when I can attack the old land, I will defend it according to the river, and compete with them city by city."

"So good!"

Ying Ming stood up and asked people to serve wine, and said to Jing Sheng: "The general is marching north, and Ying will be responsible for all the supplies. You don't have to worry about the food and roads behind you. You only need to take care of the battle."

In fact, this action solved two problems for Ying Ming.

Right now, he should be aware of the two biggest troubles in his eyes.

The trouble has nothing to do with Drake, Scotland, or the rebels. They can't be called trouble. In fact, the biggest trouble in Ying Ming's eyes is Yang Ce, Liu Ruguo, and the newcomer Uesugi Jingsheng.

When Yang Ce went out to fight, he fought, killed, and robbed, which was contrary to Tang Xianzu's idea of ​​wanting to govern the two islands of Yilan and Lanzhou. It is very difficult for Yang Ce to govern the places he fought.

Now that he is going to the Netherlands, Ying Ming has to send it off by himself.

Liu Ruguo and Uesugi Jingsheng are slightly less destructive to the local area, but their two desires are opposite.

What Liu Ruguo wanted was to set up officials to manage the land he conquered in accordance with Ming practice, and to allow the common people who followed him to have the right to participate in the imperial examination. Even if it was held in London, the people who held the power had to come from the common people.

Uesugi Jingsheng is different. What he wants is to rule a fief like the nobles in this land in the past. This is his greatest wish.

Letting these two people together is the biggest trouble in Ying Ming's eyes, much more destructive than Drake.

Now it's easy to handle, Uesugi Jingsheng went to the north to fight, and after the battle, he crossed the sea and went to the east, and it didn't matter if more than half of the land he took down would be his fief.

The remaining Liu Ruguo barely agrees with Tang Xianzu's ruling philosophy, so there will be no civil strife.

　Good afternoon, I slept too long yesterday, from afternoon to morning.
