Chapter Four Hundred and Fifteen: The Dust Settled
"What did you say? How is this possible? Are they not pirates? How could pirates..."
"Sir, the young general really doesn't know what's going on. In less than half a day, the Cholla Navy... It's not that the young general doesn't dare to go up, it's really that he can't go up. It's not a battle at all, it's completely one-sided.
Massacre, the Cholla Navy had no power to fight back. Their artillery fire was so fierce that even our turtle ships were no match."
Wang Jing, the Council of Government, Cui Mingji fell weakly on the chair, and the person kneeling below was Gu Jangyuan, the commander of the navy of Gyeongsang Province. Gu Jangyuan withdrew his troops without fighting that day. He had no way to evade responsibility and could only go there in person.
Wang Jing explained to Cui Mingji face to face. Jin Zaigui took the remaining
After the soldiers and horses fled back to Jeolla, they immediately arranged for Tangma and Babaili to rush to send the news to Wang Jing. After Li Zhu and others heard about it, their faces changed. Nan Binghe was really killed by the pirates. Li Zhu and
Cui Mingji was secretly happy, while the blood in Ha Zhengbi's chest and abdomen was boiling, and Nan Binghe was killed in battle.
, the hidden line that he had worked so hard to lay was over. Now nearly half of the Jeolla Province navy has been lost. Even if Nam Byung-hyuk is still there, the strength of his Daebei faction has been greatly damaged. Gu Jang-won is Choi Ming-gil's man. The Western Party is now
He has the upper hand again, and now he only has Zhang Yingshi’s salty body left.
Jingdao border troops, what should I do? One of his left and right arms has been broken. Damn pirates! He Zhengbi never thought that Nan Binghe was actually set up. What's even more terrifying is that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, and Li
He and Cui Mingji were as shocked and depressed as Ha Jung-pil.
What kind of pirates are this? The pirates managed to defeat the Jeolla Navy without losing a single ship. What is even more annoying is that the Gyeongsang Navy did not fire a single shot and just watched the pirates retreat. What does this mean?
, does Gu Zhangyuan have any conspiracy? Cui Mingji's heart is beating fast. He has known Gu Zhangyuan for not only a year or two, but it has also been ten years since Gu Zhangyuan defected to the Western People's Party. If Cui Mingji had not known him for ten years, he
Discover
If there is a problem with Gu Zhangyuan, what a big crime it would be. To put it bluntly, His Highness will be implicated. When Cui Mingji returned, he immediately went to the Izheng Hall to plead guilty to Li Zhu. Li Zhu said nothing, and Cui Mingji could only swear to find out within three days.
The reason. Unexpectedly, only two days later, Gu Zhangyuan came in person. After hearing Gu Zhangyuan's explanation, Cui Mingji almost fainted. But he endured the shock in his heart and took Gu Zhangyuan to the palace.
"Ling Yizheng, are you telling the truth?" Li Zhu asked.
"Everything Wei Chen said is true." Cui Mingji prostrated himself in the tunnel, followed by Gu Zhangyuan, who was trembling all over. Li Zhu sighed and said: "Is it possible that in the hands of a few people, the chaos of Renchen will happen again in the three thousand miles of Jiangshan?
?”
"Your Highness, the situation should not be that serious. The enemy's strength is only a few thousand. In those days, the Japanese pirates had 150,000 elites to invade our country. Thousands of pirates were just relying on strong ships and powerful artillery. No matter how powerful the land battle was, they could not stop it.
I have an army of 100,000. In addition, their request was very clear before, that is, they want Tamna Island. In this case, we might as well give it to them first, and wait until we have solved the serious problems at hand and gathered strength.
Let’s think about it again. Pirates are pirates after all. Maybe we don’t need to do anything. When they encounter more powerful forces, such as people like Zheng Zhilong, they will be wiped out naturally. Thousands of pirates are just scabies. At present,
The first thing is to stabilize internal affairs and strengthen border defense. According to the news from Ping'an Road, there have been frequent internal transfers among Jianlu recently, which is not a good sign." Cui Mingji said.
"That's all. Please get up, Ziqian. Goo Zhangyuan, please get up too. If you put it this way, you have sized up the situation and didn't fight hard, and lost our navy. With merit or demerit, wait until the navy of Jeolla Province
After the integration is completed, you can officially assume the position of commander of Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, and Jeolla." Li Zhu said a little tiredly.
Ju Zhangyuan got a blessing in disguise from the sky, and His Highness actually agreed to give him the position of the Three Dao Commandery. He cried bitterly and said: "The young general is scared, the young general is scared, thank you so much, Your Majesty, I will never be able to repay Your Majesty's kindness even if I die."
After Gu Zhangyuan withdrew, Li Zhu discussed with Cui Mingji alone, "Ziqian, what should we do next? Half of the Jeolla navy has been lost. Can the remaining navy be considered to be merged into the navy of Chungcheong or Gyeongsang Province?"
"Your Highness, Wei Chen doesn't think it's necessary. After this incident, Gu Zhangyuan is very loyal but too mediocre and even a little timid. Although Wei Chen doesn't know the situation of the battle that day, and the pirates are very powerful, Wei Chen knows, but
Is it true that Gu Zhangyuan doesn't have the strength to fight? Even if he can't defeat him, he won't even fight. I'm afraid he is more timid than responsible for protecting the fleet?" Cui Mingji replied.
"Well, what Zi Qian said makes sense, what do you think?" "In my opinion, it's not as good as this. The battle report of the Jeolla Navy has been delivered. The former Jeolla Navy Control Commander Jin Zaigui commanded it well and half of it was saved.
The Jeolla Navy and several soldiers who joined the army also jointly recommended him. I think he can succeed him as the navy commander. The most important reason is that the temperance commander is only a mid-level officer. Jin Zai
Gyu is a little-known person, and he must have no party or sect. Wei Chen thought, summoning him to Wang Jing, Wei Chen personally tested him. If this person opposes Gwanghae Lord and supports His Highness, then this person can be used. Although the Jeolla Navy suffered losses
It was disastrous, but the centipede insect was still alive and could still be used. In this way, we completely controlled the military power in the south. The minister then sent people to sneak into the navy to monitor him and do what he wanted.
Everything is guaranteed. As for Jang Young-seok, now that the crisis in the south has been resolved, Ha Jung-pil has only two options: take action immediately or wait patiently. Wei Chen thought, if Ha Jung-pil can wait, I'm afraid Gwanghae-kun can't wait. What's more, Nam Byung-hyuk is dead.
, Your Highness thinks how much time will it take for the Dabei Sect to cultivate a Nan Binghe? And even if there is a ready-made Nan Binghe now, how much time will it take?
What's the use of Byeonghyuk? The Jeolla Navy has been crippled. Such people have just escaped from death. How many people will respond if they are allowed to participate in the seizure of power? For Ha Jung-pil, there is still another opportunity now, that is, the next one
During the great hunting in Nanshan in October, Zhang Yingshi can lead a thousand soldiers from the army to participate in the hunting at Wangjing Nanshan, and His Highness will also participate, wouldn’t it be the best opportunity?" Cui Mingji said.
"What Zi Qian means is that we pretend to be safe and carry out the hunt as usual, and then mobilize troops and horses to capture Zhang Yingshi?" Li Zhu leaned forward slightly and asked Cui Mingji.
"Exactly, Prince Yiwei, Park Dongjun and Hong Xingzhe's people are responsible for controlling the situation in the city and arresting Gwanghaejun, Ha Zhengbi and his subordinates. The local people in Ping'an Road and Gyeonggi are left to Wei Chen to contact
, let them launch a campaign on the hunting ground to arrest Zhang Yingshi. If Zhang Yingshi dares to resist, then he will be killed without mercy." Cui Mingji said with a cold light in his eyes.
"Okay, let's do it like this." Li Zhu nodded.
"Do we still have a chance?" "Yes, Your Highness." "But Nan Binghe is dead, and Gu Zhangyuan is one of theirs. We don't have any soldiers and horses that we can control in the south. We only rely on Xian in the north."
Can the Jing Dao be accomplished? I hope to return to Wangjing, but once the garrison of Xian Jing Dao is mobilized, I am afraid that the Jianlu will invade my Eighth Route again, and then all the people will be in ruins, which I cannot bear in my heart."
In the dim and dilapidated courtyard of Ganghwa Island, candlelight flickered. Several guards outside the door had all been bribed. Taking advantage of the palace's monthly payment to Gwanghae-kun, Ha Jung-pil bribed the head guard to mingle with the crowd of servants.
Here we landed on Ganghwa Island. Here
The people sitting in the room at that time were Gwanghae Jun himself and Ha Jungpil. Hearing Gwanghaejun's words, Ha Jungpil sighed secretly in his heart. Gwanghaejun is wise and has a heart of three thousand miles. But he also has a fatal weakness, that is, not enough.
Cruel. Back then, he served Ming Dynasty
He went to the dynasty and served the Jin Kingdom, but the result was that he was not pleased with both sides. Now it is the same. Is his throne more important or the lives of some untouchables? Can you still not tell which is more important? Without the throne, there is nothing. Yes.
Even if you win the throne, you will die.
People, as long as they manage well, when North Korea becomes strong in the future, they can restore the glory of their ancestors. After all, not so long ago, the savage tribes in the north were often beaten up by North Korean officers and soldiers. At that time, it was not like now, when the soldiers feared the golden soldiers like tigers.
.
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself and don't worry about anything. The time is not too far away. We still have a chance. Next month is the big hunt. I have secretly ordered Zhang Yingshi to select warriors from the army and form a thousand elite troops. Then there will be a sudden attack.
Li Jian would never have imagined that success or failure could depend on this." He Zhengbi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please believe us. Hundreds of ministers in the court support His Highness in regaining power." After saying that, he fell down in front of Lord Gwanghae and paid homage.
.
Lord Gwanghae helped Ha Jung-pil up with tears in his eyes: "With a righteous man like You Yizheng, I will die without regrets!"
"I don't know what's going on with the Jin army. Last time I said we started taking action, there's been no news for several days. Is the battle finished? Alas, our pigeon message channel still needs time." "Haha, General, you don't have to.
Anxious, the glory of the Jeolla Navy is limited to history, and the new glory belongs to the new army. Cheng has always believed that strength can defeat everything. We have the best soldiers and the best troops.
Artillery, the best general, this battle will definitely be a great victory, the general must have confidence." Taiping Mansion, Anqing Guard Commander Cheng Kang enlightened Liu Yidao. The Jin army led the naval expedition alone. If Liu Yi is not worried, it must be
False. But with the expansion of the Qing Yi Army, these expeditions will definitely happen more often in the future. It is useless to always worry. As a general, you must trust your subordinates.
Just after the Jin army captured Tamluo and successfully won the Battle of Niudao, the Qingyi Army had initially realized its strategic vision and gained a crucial foothold in Liaodong. It used points to lead the area and control the overall situation. The genius of the Jin Army
Give full play to the wisdom of the new army generals,
Jin Zaigui was placed in the Jeolla Navy. In this way, at least until the strength of the Jeolla Navy was completely restored, Li Zhu would not use troops against Tamluo. The Qingyi Army could be managed well. When Li Zhu wanted to use troops, he would find out.
