Six hundred and twentieth chapters Goryeo Fu Jiang downstairs
Chapter 624: Goryeo Fu Jiang Tower (Part 2)
In the Battle of Wangjiang Island, although Dongbo returned with a disastrous defeat, Fu Jianglou was placed under house arrest. Although Dongbo was defeated, Dongbo still won. In just two or three years, Dongbo recovered from the disastrous defeat that year, and then once again
It ravaged the coastal areas of Goryeo. Although the Goryeo Navy returned with a great victory, it also suffered heavy losses, especially when Fu Jianglou was placed under house arrest, which made the navy officers completely desperate. Without the guidance of the navy's genius generals, the Goryeo Navy
In order to protect the coastal areas and maintain his reputation, the King of Goryeo had to equip the navy with all his strength, so that Goryeo's naval force once reached 200,000.
Two years later, the King of Goryeo died of illness and a new king came to the throne. Fu Jianglou was freed. Although the Goryeo Navy at this time was no longer decent, Fu Jianglou just climbed up and shouted. In one month, his old troops came from all over the country.
People came from all over the country, and within three months, a navy with a total strength of about 100,000 was raised again. At this time, the top naval commander of Dongbo had become Kato Taka, who had just been recruited. In order to regain control of the sea, Fu Jiang
Lou led the Goryeo Navy to fight against the East Japan Sea continuously. Although Kato Takashi was a hero of his generation, he faced the most outstanding navy general in the history of Goryeo. He also lost more than he won. The two sides fought fiercely for ten years on the East China Sea.
It is a miracle that the cruel Japanese navy never gained the upper hand.
At this time, Qingfeng had reached the extreme of being strong on the outside, and inside there was the spy An Yongchang. Kato Taka, who was proficient in calculations, felt that it was not worthwhile to continue fighting against Goryeo, so the strategic focus gradually shifted towards Qingfeng. Fu Jianglou also
There was no pursuit. In fact, not long after, he strangely retreated again. This disappearance lasted for more than ten years. It was not until the fall of Shanhaiguan that Bu Xianzhi felt that the future of Goryeo would be extremely dark, so he went to find himself in person.
This student at that time, moved by emotion and understanding, finally convinced him to launch a coup with him.
In fact, given Fu Jianglou's high prestige in the hearts of the army and the people, if he ascended the throne and became king, no one in the country would object, not even his brother King Jianwu. However, Fu Jianglou faced
Such temptation was resolutely rejected. In his opinion, he was just a soldier, and he did not want his life to be too complicated.
In total, although He Huairen deservedly ranked first among the three famous generals in the East China Sea, Fu Jianglou became famous the earliest and was also the most troublesome person in the East and Japan.
Three days later, Zhang Yuewan and others finally waited for the belated arrival of the Korean Navy in Ryukyu. Due to the existence of Fu Ruoshui as an intermediary, and Bu Xianzhi was also a very shrewd person, when Haotian made the request, the Korean navy was happy
As promised, he immediately dispatched the Qingguo navy to follow Fu Jianglou southward to prepare for the complete annihilation of the Eastern Japanese navy.
At the newly renovated Chenghai Port in the north of Ryukyu, Zhang Yuewan, He Bugui and other senior naval officers of the Dragon Legion stood in two rows with excited faces. Everyone's expression was quite excited, even Zhang Cangzong was so calm.
people are no exception.
"The Marshal said before his death that the biggest regret in this life is not being able to fight side by side with Fu Shuai. Unexpectedly, today this regret has been made up for by you, Marshal. If the Marshal is still alive in heaven, he will definitely be deeply comforted.
." Cui Le said with a smile, maybe he was too happy, and opened his mouth like a fish's mouth.
He Bugui's face was filled with excitement, but he shook his head and said: "This general cannot compare with my father. But Fu Shuai has been famous in the East China Sea for thirty years. It is really my honor to see him today.
"
Although Zhang Yuewan and Zhang Cangzong were silent, the expressions on their faces still betrayed their feelings. As naval generals, if you don't know about Fu Jianglou, you are a complete idiot. They all have a lot of experience in water warfare.
Achievements, but even if He Bugui and Zhang Yuewan teamed up, the two were still at a disadvantage in the battle with Kato Takashi. But Fu Jianglou repeatedly defeated Dongbo, and even Kato Takashi retreated when he saw his flag.
, Such a famous general naturally aroused great interest in Zhang Yuewan and the other three.
At noon, accompanied by melodious conch horn sounds, more than two hundred warships slowly sailed into the sight of Zhang Yuewan and others. The model of the leading warship was at least half larger than the surrounding ones, with a mast that towered into the clouds.
Above, a bright red flag fluttered in the wind. Zhang Yuewan used her eyesight enough to vaguely see the big word "FU" on it.
"Commander Fu is here! Jinshan, tell the soldiers below to cheer up. Whoever dares to disgrace our Dragon Legion, be careful. I will tie him to the mast and blow him the sea breeze for ten and a half days!" He Bugui said in a deep voice.
However, he took half a step back and let Zhang Yuewan stand at the front.
Before the Korean naval battleship even approached the port, the cowhide drums of the Jiaolong Legion were already rumbling, and all the navy soldiers raised their swords with one hand and pointed to the sky to show their respect for Fu Jianglou.
The Korean navy may have felt the welcome coming from the Hetao. Except for the leading flagship, which still slid into the port at an unhurried pace, the more than two hundred warships behind it soon formed a neat row.
As far as the team could see, on top of the masts of all battleships stood a naked soldier beating a drum with both hands rhythmically. The sound of the drums on both sides complemented each other, which immediately made people excited.
"The imperial concubine Zhang Yuewan of the Haotian Empire, led by all the soldiers of the Dragon Legion, is here to welcome Commander Fu!" As soon as the flagship of the Koryo Navy docked, Zhang Yuewan shouted loudly, and her powerful voice was actually exciting.
Countless seabirds soared into the sky.
"Goryeo Fu Jianglou, thank you for your generous gift, Her Royal Highness!" A slightly clear voice sounded from the battleship.
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on the faces of Zhang Yuewan and others. The relatively rough generals such as Cui Le and Jin Shan looked at each other. Only Zhang Yuewan frowned. Fu Jianglou's voice was not unpleasant, and even sounded gentle.
There was something irresistibly close to him, but his voice was too soft. If the sea breeze hadn't just blown by, I'm afraid that no one in the welcoming crowd above the port, except Zhang Yuewan, who has profound skills, would have been able to
Hearing his words, it was obvious that Fu Jianglou was a person with no knowledge of martial arts.
Could it be that the famous Goryeo Navy general who had been famous in the East China Sea for thirty years was actually a weak scholar? Everyone thought together, and Zhang Yuewan was even more worried. Not only was Fu Jianglou short of energy, but his voice was too weak.
, obviously the physical condition is quite bad.
Zhang Cangzong had to be more prudent after all. Although he was quite curious about this legendary figure after experiencing many storms, he was more concerned about the scale of the Korean Navy's battleships. After looking carefully for a while, he suddenly said in confusion: "
It’s strange, when Fu Shuai went south, why did the iron-backed turtle boat he came with not come with him?”
Only then did everyone notice this. What Zhang Cangzong said was true. The more than 200 warships brought by Fu Jianglou were all large warships. As for the iron-backed turtle ships he used to use when he first rose to prominence, none of them were missing.
"Stop making any noise. Fu Shuai will be down soon. Everyone, please be more energetic." Zhang Yuewan saw that the group of people behind her were noisy and unseemly, so she couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice.
After everyone heard this, they quickly shut up and stood still. Among Haotian's wives, none was more decisive than Zhang Yuewan in front of them. Especially Wu Zhou, who was born in the Zhang family in Huaishui, even shrank his neck.
He didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Zhang Yuewan. He had been in the Huaishui Navy for more than ten years and knew very well what kind of person Zhang Yuewan was. Even in Huaishui now, no one didn't know that he hated the most that he was not a man.
The reputation of the princess.
He Bugui and others suddenly remembered that the person in front of them was Haotian's wife, a special envoy to inspect the navy on behalf of Haotian. If he dared to offend her, it would be Haotian's majestic provocation. Such a thing would be the last resort.
It's better not to do it.
The flagship of the Goryeo Navy has approached the port. To everyone's surprise, what sticks out from the battleship is not a springboard, but a very wide flat plate. Under the escort of dozens of soldiers, a man wearing a
A middle-aged man wearing traditional Korean white clothing slowly emerged from the crowd.
"This is Fu Shuai?" Zhang Yuewan and others were completely shocked.
In terms of appearance, although the man is not very handsome, his warm smile and dazzling eyes can definitely attract a woman's attention. His face is very pale, and he has the typical
Sickly pale. The constant sea breeze blew her long hair around, making her look even more friendly and delicate.
However, the most shocking thing is that he did not get off the boat, but was sitting in a wheelchair. When he got off the boat, due to the considerable slope, his legs suddenly swayed, which was very natural.
rock.
"There is something wrong with his legs. If they are not broken, they should have lost consciousness!" Zhang Cangzong whispered in Zhang Yuewan's ear.
Zhang Yuewan nodded imperceptibly, and she also saw it. However, she could see it more clearly than Zhang Cangzong. Fu Jianglou's legs must be out of control of his body. Not only his legs, she even suspected that Fu Jianglou's legs were not under the control of his body.
Jiang Lou had no feeling in his waist.
With the help of the soldiers behind him, Fu Jianglou slowly came to Zhang Yuewan. Looking at the surprised expressions of everyone, Fu Jianglou couldn't help but laugh and said: "Everyone, I have disappointed you!"
Zhang Yuewan quickly bowed and said: "Fu Shuai is joking. However, I really didn't expect that such a patient could support half of the country of Goryeo."
Fu Jianglou smiled again: "Her Royal Highness the Princess praised me. Ruoshui wrote a letter to me a few days ago, and she also talked about Her Royal Highness. She is a red-pink heroine, and she is a hero. She is indeed well-deserved!" He tilted his head and looked to the side.
He Bugui had a tiger-like head but a resolute expression. Fu Jianglou nodded and said: "This person is probably Brother He's son! Yes, but you must work hard to avoid losing the reputation of the He family."
Sensing the melancholy in Fu Jianglou's tone, He Bugui couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that Fu Shuai has an old relationship with my father?"
Fu Jianglou shook his head: "I have never met your father, but I have met your grandfather Jing Guanggong several times. But I didn't expect that decades have passed, and the Dinghai He family, which was so turbulent in the East China Sea, will
You are the only one left. Whether the young general has a family or not, we don’t want your He family to be cut off from your generation!"
No one thought that Fu Jianglou was so funny, especially He Bugui, who made a big blush at that time. Seeing Cui Le and Jin Shan laughing obscenely on the side, He Bugui immediately glared at them.
.However, the two of them were not afraid of the young master in this matter. They just restrained themselves a little. When He Bugui turned around, the two of them laughed again.
Zhang Yuewan also smiled and said: "I have also persuaded General He several times, but General He always said that if the Japanese are not destroyed, why should we call home? So, this matter depends on you, Fu Shuai."
Although Fu Jianglou had heard of Zhang Yuewan's reputation and knew the personalities of He Haotian and the women around him from his niece's letters, he never expected that Zhang Yuewan's mind was so flexible. He had just arrived.
She then probed towards herself.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Fu Jianglou said with a smile: "Your Majesty transferred our Korean Navy through Ruoshui this time, and asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to personally supervise the formation. Isn't it just to completely wipe out the Eastern Japanese Navy? Besides, Your Majesty,
There has been an order a long time ago that the Eastern Japanese must be destroyed. If my commander-in-chief’s prediction is correct, once Kato Takashi’s navy is completely wiped out, the Hetao army will immediately march into the Eastern Japanese mainland. General He’s affairs must not be delayed.”
Although Zhang Yuewan was frightened that Fu Jianglou had figured out what he was thinking about the Loop, he was not too surprised. After all, it is not surprising that a famous general who has been famous in the East China Sea for thirty years has such a vision. Fu Jianglou and Kato Taka have also been for many years.
The opponent must be quite familiar with Kato Taka's situation, so Zhang Yuewan recounted the guesses he and others had made in the past few days for Fu Jianglou's judgment.
Zhang Yuewan's words were quite brief, but she explained the matter clearly and concisely. But during this time of burning incense, Fu Jianglou kept coughing, and once, he even coughed up blood streaks from the corners of his mouth. At this time,
Zhang Yuewan and others already understood that Fu Jianglou had been disappearing for several years, probably not because of low profile or palace struggles, but because his health was really poor and his life might be in danger at any time.
When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Who would have thought that the suppressed Dongwa navy did not dare to go north, and the famous general who almost single-handedly saved the fate of the entire country of Goryeo was already terminally ill.
"You don't have to worry about my health. It's all old problems." Fu Jianglou smiled, but as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently again. Seeing this, the soldiers behind him quickly handed over two longan-sized pills.
Fu Jianglou hurriedly swallowed the pills, took a few big breaths, and the expression on his face looked better.
Fu Yishan, the lieutenant of the Goryeo Navy, said with a wry smile: "To be honest, my commander-in-chief's health has always been poor. If it hadn't been for the personal treatment of the commander-in-chief over the years, he would have been unable to survive.
This time, neither His Majesty nor the Imperial Guard was prepared to let the Marshal go south, but the Marshal said that this matter was related to the national destiny of Goryeo, so he insisted. These were pills that the Imperial Guard personally prepared for the Marshal, but they could only
Barely suppressing the commander's upper injuries."
Zhang Yuewan and others were suddenly moved, but Fu Jianglou said indifferently: "Even if I stay in Xiao Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't live for a few years. I can eradicate Kato Ying and Dongbo at the last moment of my life.
It can be regarded as avenging the people of Goryeo. However, Kato Takashi has always been cunning, and the Dongwa Navy is not weak. If I don't have this commander personally to control the battle, I will really feel a little worried."
After a pause, and looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Fu Jianglou said with a smile: "Have you been wondering why Kato Eagle lured you south these days? In fact, the reason is very simple. Kato Eagle's lair is
It's in the south. That's where he started his business. Because the terrain is quite dangerous and the sea conditions are particularly complicated, Kato Taka is most likely planning to choose that place as the location for a decisive battle with us. Haha, if you don't know,
If you hit it head-on, you will most likely suffer big losses."
"Kato Taka's lair?" Although everyone had mentioned it before He Bu returned, they also vaguely knew something about it, but they were not as clear as Fu Jianglou.
"Have you ever heard of the Lost Sea? This is the nest of Kato Eagle!"
The Lost Sea is one of the seven secret places in China. Compared with the drowning swamps and the dead forests, which are barely inhabited places, the Lost Sea has always been a legend. It is located on the South China Sea and the two islands of Ryukyu Qiongya
It is distributed in a triangular shape. Since ancient times, this place has been a famous maritime area.
Here, even if you use a compass, you can't tell the direction. And although it is calm on the surface, there are constant undercurrents and dense reefs under the sea. The weather here is unpredictable, and the sun is often so hot just now that it makes people want to die.
The sky was filled with clouds and lightning and thunder in the blink of an eye. It is said that there is a palace like a fairyland hidden inside the Lost Sea, but this has been just a legend for thousands of years. However, due to the special environment here, many pirates
They like to choose their base here. Of course, they only operate on the edge of the Lost Sea. If they go deep into the inner areas, even the most experienced old pirates may not be able to guarantee their own safety.
"The Kato Eagle's nest is near the mist channel on the north side of the Sea of Death. It is surrounded by clouds and mist all day long, and unless there is a strong wind, the visibility is extremely low. In order to enter here, in addition to having enough experience and courage, you must also
You need to be determined to move forward. Kato Taka took great pains to choose this place as a battlefield."
Cui Le said very puzzledly: "Fu Shuai, the straight-line distance between the Sea of Death and the Eastern Japanese mainland is more than two thousand miles. If we don't pursue his fleet and directly attack the Eastern Japanese mainland, then the defensive strength will be very low."
The empty Dongwa will definitely not be able to stop our attack, and Kato Takashi's trick will come to nothing. In this case, why are we so persistent?"
He Bugui glared at Cui Le fiercely, but Fu Jianglou didn't care and just explained with a smile: "It is already April, and in a while, the southeast wind will become the main wind direction in the entire East China Sea. General Cui
, with the help of the strong southeast wind, it is completely easy for a warship to travel five to six hundred miles a day and a night."
Jinshan scratched his scalp: "But the wind will be blowing from the southeast at that time. In the strong wind, can Kato Taka guarantee that his fleet will sail towards the eastern Japanese mainland? Moreover, this kind of danger is extremely high. If you are not careful,
