Naturally, Yukita Hideie saw this scene. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He finally realized the difference between him and Daming. It wasn't just the difference in equipment. The Ming Army's strength was also in their fighting spirit.
Ever since Zhu Yijun transmigrated, he had been Daming's army's sense of honor and confidence.
Honours indulged in pleasure, Generals indulged in exploitation, and soldiers lived like zombies. It would be strange if such an army had any fighting spirit.
Zhu Yijun had been working hard to tidy things up, which was why he had the impression he had today.
Honours had a sense of honor, stimulated their fighting spirit, and at the same time, gave them wealth so that they would be more dependent on the Emperor.
He supported the new Honours and suppressed the old Honours, so that the Honours could maintain their vitality.
He built the Royal Martial Arts Hall, trained their skills, and raised the status of the Honours.
When he did all this, Zhu Yijun supplemented it with harsh laws to pressure the Honours, so that they had no choice but to do what he wanted. This caused the younger generation of Honours to change drastically.
For Generals, he eliminated the old and weak, supported those who could fight, opened up the nobility system, rewarded them handsomely, raised their status, and stimulated them with military achievements. This caused the Daming Generals to fight bravely and dare to fight.
For soldiers, he abolished the military household system and adopted the recruitment system. He increased the salary and treatment of the soldiers, so that the soldiers had a goal to kill the enemy.
After ten years of hard work, the Daming Army was no longer what it used to be.
With Zhu Yijun's large amount of money, the Daming Army was recovering its fighting spirit, and this recovery was very fast.
Although there were still some areas that were lacking, with new equipment to make up for it, the Daming Army was definitely a strong army.
They weren't facing cavalry, but an infantry formation. The Great Ming Dynasty's army was fearless.
As the shields rang out continuously, the Great Ming Dynasty's army, which marched in unison, gave off an unprecedented pressure.
Of course, this kind of formation also raised the morale of the soldiers.
Both sides quickly approached each other, and then the Musketeers fired.
Daming's firearms were of superior quality, and were also far superior to the Japanese pirates. Daming's firearms were also better than the Japanese pirates'. The three-stage shooting was very stable, and with the superior performance of the firearms, it was very powerful.
When they got close, the Daming Army opened fire with the grenades of the Shieldbearers.
Even though many people had died, the Japanese pirates were still charging forward. Their eyes were red. If they couldn't charge forward, it meant death. In the face of death, people would explode with great battle power.
The battle formations of both sides quickly collided, and the first contact battle began.
The soldiers with shields carried them while the soldiers with guns hung tri-edge stilettos on their guns. The Ming Army fought very methodically.
The bayonets were very powerful. With more than a dozen people working together, the Japanese pirates had no way of fighting back.
In the Ming Army's formation, Qi Jin ordered, "Surround the left and right flank, and surround the Japanese pirates."
Drums and horns sounded, and the two wings of the Daming Army began to speed up, surrounding the Japanese pirates.
Just as both sides were fighting fiercely, the ground suddenly shook. Then, a cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flank.
The leader was Liaodong Admiral Li Chengliang, and the Jurchen cavalry followed closely behind.
Since the start of the war in Korea, there hadn't been many opportunities for the Daming Army to show off their strength.
This made the cavalry feel suffocated. This time, it was their turn to show off their might.
The cavalrymen charged forward at high speed, directly charging into the Wokou's army formation, and in an instant, they had dug their way through.
The Japanese pirates couldn't react in time. Even if they could, it was useless. They couldn't stop the Daming Army at all.
Bu Zhai of the Yehe tribe shouted loudly. He waved his sword and chopped off the head of a Japanese pirate. It was a very satisfying kill.
With the addition of the cavalry, the battlefield had completely become a slaughterhouse.
Yukita Xiujia looked at the Ming Army surrounding him, and he gripped the sword in his hand tightly.
He knew it was over, it was all over. The reason why the Ming Army didn't shoot him was very simple. It was because he couldn't die. The Ming Army wanted to capture him alive. Yukita Xiujia's expression was very ferocious.
"I can't win, but I dare to die!" Yukita Xiujia was very determined.
He stretched out his hand and threw the long sword in his hand on the ground. He pulled out another broken sword and stabbed it into his stomach. Then, he laid it horizontally. It was really painful!
Blood gushed out instantly, and his intestines also flowed out.
Yukita Xiujia's body knelt in the direction of the Japanese Empire, and finally, he didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, the Ming Army was in a bad mood. The credit of capturing the enemy leader was gone.
Luo Shangzhi walked in front of Yukita Xiujia and looked at him.
"Don't cut off his head. Leave his body intact!"
Luo Shangzhi reached out and picked up the sword that Yukita had thrown on the ground. Then, he said, "He's still a man."
The battle of Korea started in the morning and lasted until dusk. The battle was finally over.
More than 60,000 of the 80,000 Japanese pirates were killed, and only about 10,000 were captured. The heavily injured ones were all killed by the Ming Army.
At this point, the battle of Korea was completely over. The Daming killed all 150,000 North Koreans who entered Korea.
In addition to the loss of the navy, the Japanese Empire had suffered a huge loss of resources and personnel.
The army entered Korea to recuperate. Qi Jiguang sent people back to report the victory, and at the same time, he handed over a letter of resignation.
The battle of Korea lasted for three months and officially ended. It was time for the Seventh Level Commander to resign.
Shenyang City, Wanhe Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wanhe Palace and a smile appeared on his face. The King of Korea, Li Xun, had already left. Today was the day that Zhu Yijun returned to the capital.
After being away from the capital for so long, it was time to go back.
He walked slowly when he came, but it was much faster when he was going back.
The cement road had been built to Shenyang. The road back for Zhu Yijun was very smooth. In addition, he didn't need to inspect the place, so he naturally walked very fast.
Along the way, Zhu Yijun saw many carriages, all of which were four-wheeled carriages.
Since the start of the war in Korea, the carriages transporting supplies between Liaodong and Daming had never stopped.
After a few years of popularization of the new crop, the grain production in Daming increased very quickly. If it weren't for Zhu Yijun's encouragement of grain prices in the past two years, the price of grain would have plummeted.
Even so, the price of corn in the capital was only 30 copper coins per bushel, and potatoes and sweet potatoes were even cheaper.
The imperial court's Changping Warehouse was filled with grain. Many brewers went to the Changping Warehouse to buy grain, and the liquor they brewed was all sold to the grasslands in exchange for wool in exchange for horses and sheep.
With enough grain, coupled with the vigorous promotion of the breeding industry, the lives of the common people were better.
Meat and eggs began to appear on the dining tables of the common people. This was something that Zhu Yijun was very happy to see.
From the number of students enrolled in public schools that doubled every year, it was obvious that the lives of the common people were better.
When they had enough to eat and money, they naturally wanted to send their children to school. Their pursuit was to be outstanding.
