The huge sea ship slowly left the port. The people on the ship looked nervously at the pirate troops surrounding the port from all directions, watching the Koreans they were familiar with or unfamiliar with who had always been respectful to them at the port being killed by the pirate soldiers.
They were drowned. Seeing their thieves holding their heads and waving them wildly at the departing ships, they were so shocked that they could hardly speak.
He was just busy with the work at hand mechanically, and then during the tense intervals, he was always paying attention to Mr. Fan standing at the bow of the ship.
The four cannons on the ship had turned around and were loading cannonballs urgently, but Lord Fan at the bow didn't seem to have the slightest intention of ordering the cannons to be fired.
"Boom them, what is that adult waiting for?"
Beside the general, the Ming soldiers who had fled onto the boat were panting and could not even breathe evenly. Seeing the wanton shouting of the traitors on the dock, they couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Shut up!"
The general glared at his men fiercely, and also cast his eyes on Fan Zhen. With the density of thieves on the dock, a dozen of them would be killed with one shot!
Until the ship slowly left the port, the cannons on the ship remained silent. When the figures on the shore turned into vaguely visible black spots one by one, he couldn't help but slowly moved closer to Fan Zhen.
"Master Fan..."
"No need to explain, the thieves are numerous and equipped with firearms, which cannot be resisted by your small number of people. At this time, it is already very good to be able to protect yourself and your brothers!"
Fan Zhen turned around without any intention of blaming: "When you report it to the higher authorities, you can bring my name with me. I am the head of the civil affairs yamen, Fan Zhen!"
"Thank you Lord Fan, thank you Lord Fan!" He said with gratitude: "I just saw that there are cannons on the ship. There are so many rebels on the shore. Why didn't Lord Fan order the cannon to be fired? I have no intention of blaming Lord Fan.
It’s just that we brothers, being driven onto the ship like rabbits by the bandit soldiers, are really hard to swallow!"
"Even if we kill dozens or hundreds of them, does it make sense?" Fan Zhen shook his head: "If there are cannons on the shore facing the sea, why don't we leave quickly and wait until the cannons on the shore can attack us? Besides, we
The Civil Affairs Office is not good at fighting. The firearms provided are only for self-protection. There are at least a thousand thieves. If you can't kill them all and get entangled with them, it will not be a wise move!"
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right!" Mr. Ba nodded fiercely and looked at the sea: "Then where are we going now? This news must be sent as soon as possible. The North Koreans are crazy. They dare to
Take the initiative to attack us!"
"I'm afraid this news won't reach Tieshan City for a while!"
Fan Zhen was silent for a moment: "The rebels caught it at a very good time. This is a traitor! I will take you and your brother to Pi Island. As for how to report it to the superiors, that is a matter for your military and political yamen.
By the way, you also need to report it to the Military Intelligence Department, this matter is not that simple!"
The boss nodded and waved to his brothers, with a sad look on his face.
Even if the superiors do not hold him responsible for the loss of the small mountain city, his future in the army is really worrying after suffering such a big defeat. For an officer with ideals and motivation like him, today's blow is really serious.
It's too big!
The boat slowly sailed towards Phi Island.
Two days later, the news spread directly from Pi Dao to Zhenjiang Fort and reached Jiang Wan.
If we count it in terms of efficiency, Jiang Wan learned the news about the fall of the small mountain city, which is very close to Tieshan City, faster than Mei Xiaofei of Tieshan City.
When Jiang Wan received the news, he was a little stupid.
Not only him, but all the officials in the entire military and political yamen who were qualified to have access to the news were also dumbfounded!
Defense day and night, stay alert, the Overseas Security Department has never let down its vigilance, but their vigilance has never been against the North Koreans. Who would have thought that at this sensitive time, the North Koreans would be like this?
He was upright and straightforward and gave the Overseas Government a hard slap in the face.
Who can bear this!
Even if the number of officers and soldiers lost overseas during this battle was zero, the small mountain city was lost, and all the North Korean allies in the small mountain city were wiped out, not to mention that the small mountain city stored the hard-earned money of the Sihai fleet.
The mountains of supplies and goods that arrived have all become the spoils of war for the Koreans.
This sap really caught Jiang Wan off guard.
The people at the military and political yamen were even more excited, clamoring to send troops immediately to annihilate the North Korean "thieves" who had invaded the small mountain city, and to raise troops to the North Korean royal court to question the crime. As for this small mountain city, it was actually a place of North Korea, and it was North Korea.
The matter of the country's city was simply ignored by these people.
"If Mei Xiaofei can't do it, let me do it!"
Li Zicheng had a dark face. Now he almost handles the daily affairs of the military and political yamen. He felt deeply ashamed when this incident happened, as if this incident was the follow-up to his trip to the royal city of Joseon. It was simple.
For example, the Koreans were originally obedient, but when he went to the royal city, the Koreans immediately rebelled.
He felt that he should take this responsibility.
"The soldiers and horses of the East Route Army stationed in Panjiakou can reach the small mountain village in three days!" He asked Jiang Wan for help: "I will ask Li Guo to lead three thousand troops to defeat them!"
"I don't know who the opponent is, how many troops there are, or whether there are reinforcements. How can three thousand people from the Eastern Route Army defeat them?"
Jiang Wan shook his head: "Besides, the East Route Army will support the Gushan Fort at any time and cannot be used lightly!"
"Sir, the small mountain city port cannot be lost!" Li Zicheng was a little anxious: "Even if we recover a little later, it will make the North Koreans laugh and make them think that we are nothing more than that. Once they lose their respect for us, then
, they will become more and more courageous in the future!”
"Of course I know that the port of this small mountain city cannot be lost!" Jiang Wan snorted: "As for recovering it sooner or later, it doesn't matter much. Anyway, by the time we go there, the small mountain city will definitely be wiped out by the bandits.
, and what I care about is, who is more suitable to recover it?"
Li Zicheng picked up the soldiers, horses and generals he could mobilize in his pocket, and was about to recommend a few other people to Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan, who was deep in thought, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Zicheng, who was familiar with Jiang Wan's behavior, immediately shut up. He knew that every time the adult showed such an expression, it meant that the adult already had an idea in mind.
Sure enough, Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "I have thought of a suitable person, and this person is the most suitable person to do this!"
