That night, Zhong Huan urgently asked to see the emperor Chen Qing, and Chen Qing received Zhong Huan in the Linde Hall.
Zhong Huan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhen gave a thorough explanation today. I feel that the matter is of great importance, so I will report to your Majesty overnight!"
Chen Qing said calmly: "What's the big situation?"
"Japan is very likely to launch a war against Goryeo."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and asked: "Japan is going to launch a war, how did Li Zhen know?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, it is some former Baekje nobles who colluded with Japan and organized tens of thousands of so-called Baekje troops to prepare for the landing of Japanese troops in the spring and summer of this year."
Japan is preparing to attack Goryeo. Chen Qing is not surprised at all. Now that the best men of Goryeo have been consumed by the Jin Kingdom, the country is extremely weak. However, it does not know what to do and provokes the traditional suzerain country. Now is a good opportunity to attack Goryeo, and the Japanese nation
, are very good at seizing opportunities. It would be strange if they did not seize this opportunity to attack Goryeo.
Chen Qingdan smiled and said: "Japan wants to come to Goryeo to die. I don't want that, but let them come!"
.............
In early May, the 100,000 troops who conquered the grasslands returned, and the first batch of 50,000 troops from Anxi returned to Jingzhao. Chen Qing appointed Li as the military governor of Anxi, commanding 50,000 troops to guard Anxi and Jinshan, and began to build a palace in the north of Jinshan.
The city serves as a trade and military city.
At the same time, the imperial court passed a resolution of condemnation. Goryeo helped the Jin Kingdom invade the Central Plains. Goryeo soldiers massacred Han people and bore a heavy responsibility for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. They still refuse to repent and agree to the army to attack Goryeo.
Chen Qing ordered an additional 200,000 troops to Liaodong, mobilized 2,000 ships, and transported a large amount of grain and grass supplies to Liaodong via waterways. In addition, he also sent 80,000 additional troops to Tamna Island via waterways, for a total of 280,000 troops, known as
Three hundred thousand troops attacked Goryeo.
At this time, the Yong Dynasty was no longer as difficult as the Sui army's expedition against Goguryeo. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were requisitioned to transport food to Liaodong day and night. In the end, the people and money were wasted, and the soldiers were confused, leading to three disastrous defeats.
The shipping industry of the Yong Dynasty was very developed. After years of accumulation, there were as many as 10,000 official and private ships exceeding 3,000 shi. Most of them used paddles, which replaced traditional sails, allowing ships to travel in all directions and go anywhere.
.
Moreover, there were many waterways in Liaodong and the water network was densely covered. The use of ships to transport food and supplies prevented the Sui Dynasty from wasting its people and money.
In addition, the Yong Dynasty adopted a voluntary and employment system for private ships, hiring ships at market prices instead of the previous forced recruitment system. As a result, the enthusiasm of the people was very high. Thousands of civilian ships formed a strong support for official ships.
This morning, on the east coast of Tamna Island, a cavalry group was patrolling as usual. Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the sea in the distance and said: "There are a few ships over there!"
The leader of the patrol raised his clairvoyance and looked at the sea. After a moment, he said to everyone: "Someone is asking for help on the ship. Immediately notify the ship to go out to sea for rescue!"
The two cavalrymen rode towards the harbor. After a while, three large rescue ships sailed out of the bay and headed for the distant sea.
Not long after, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in the bay, 'Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!'
This indicated that there was an enemy situation, and the soldiers in the military camp rushed to the pier. Within a moment, thousands of fully armed Yong Army soldiers gathered on the pier, holding bows, crossbows and spears, ready to fight.
Three ships towed two distressed ships back. The people on the distressed ships turned out to be Japanese soldiers. There were about a dozen people in each ship, all of them short and like children.
Everyone wears leather armor and hats, and carries Japanese swords at their waists. Some people also carry several knives and hold spears.
Under the orders of the Yong soldiers, they put down their weapons and disembarked from the boat with their hands raised in fear.
There were twenty-seven people in total. The Yong Army cavalry arranged for them to sit on two ox carts, and a hundred cavalry escorted them to the military camp twenty miles away.
...........
Since the attempted sneak attack by the Goryeo Army, the garrison on Tamna Island has increased to 8,000 people. The commander is still Tang Ting'an. At this time, Tang Ting'an has sent a message to Feiying that 80,000 troops will soon be stationed on Tamna Island, asking him to do so.
Be prepared.
The new camp had been arranged, and the soldiers were setting up a big tent. It was busy. At this time, soldiers came to report that the ships in the east bay rescued two distressed ships on the sea. There were Japanese soldiers on board, a total of twenty-seven people.
, is being sent to the camp.
The Japanese country is the country of Japan. Officially, it is called the Japanese country, but ordinary people and the army call it the Japanese country, and the army is called the Japanese army.
Tang Ting'an immediately asked the soldiers to send the Japanese soldiers to the prisoner-of-war camp. The prisoner-of-war camp was actually a small military camp, surrounded by high fences and guarded by soldiers.
Tang Tingan sent someone to find Wang Hong, an orange farmer. Wang Hong was originally a businessman who had been doing business in Japan for a long time. On his way back to his hometown, he was detained by the Goryeo army and became an orange farmer on Tamna Island. He married a local aborigine.
The woman was his wife and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. After the Yong army occupied Tamluo Island, he originally wanted to return to his hometown, but his wife and children were unwilling to go back with him. In addition, he was allocated two hundred acres of orange groves on the island.
I feel at ease to stay and no longer consider returning to my hometown.
Not long after, Wang Hong was invited. He heard that he was asked to be a Japanese language translator. He readily agreed and was led to the prisoner of war camp.
After a while, a Japanese army leader was brought up. Tang Ting'an said to Wang Hong: "Ask him for me, where are the soldiers from and why did they appear outside Tamna Island?"
Wang Hong translated in fluent language. The Japanese army leader's eyes flashed with cunning, and he said after a while: "We are soldiers of Hizen Kingdom. We captured pirates. We encountered a storm and were blown to Tamna Island. Thank you for helping us."
.”
Tang Ting'an saw his eyes flickering and felt a little suspicious. Tamna Island was not very far from the Japanese country. He said that there was a storm, but the weather on Tamna Island was calm and there was no sign of a storm at all, which was a bit strange.
He ordered people to send the leader down. After thinking about it, he decided to interrogate the soldiers separately.
Sure enough, the soldiers' answers were completely different. More than 100,000 of them had gathered in Higo Kingdom, led by General Fujiwara, and were preparing to cross the sea to attack Koryo Kingdom. They were a vanguard army of 10,000 people. Because the sea was rough, more than a dozen ships and
The main team lost contact and was blown to Tamna Island by wind and waves. Only two of their ships survived, and more than a dozen other ships perished at the bottom of the sea.
This news shocked Tang Ting'an. They prepared to attack Goryeo, but the Japanese attacked them first.
Tang Ting'an interrogated seven or eight more Japanese soldiers, and all the answers were the same. Only then did he believe it, and immediately sent a message with a flying eagle to inform Yong's army.
.............
At this time, Liu Qiong and his old partner Tang Qian had arrived in Penglai County, along with 80,000 troops.
Liu Qiong's army has just returned from Anxi. After resting for less than half a month, it embarked on another journey. Liu Qiong will lead an army of 80,000 to attack Goryeo from the south.
Liu Cui and Gao Ding each led an army of 100,000 to attack Goryeo from the north to Liaodong. Nearly 300,000 troops attacked from the north and south. Emperor Chen Qing asked them to end the war within two months.
Liu Qiong and the generals are discussing the arrangements for boarding the ship. They will officially board the ship to Tamna Island the day after tomorrow, and the war will kick off in half a month.
At this time, a soldier walked in and handed an eagle letter to Liu Qiong, "I just received the eagle letter from Tamluo Island!"
Liu Qiong took it and looked at it. He was suddenly surprised and said to everyone: "Tamluo Island has received news that Japan has sent more than a dozen troops to prepare to cross the sea to attack Goryeo. More than 10,000 of their forward troops have landed."
This news caused an uproar in the big tent. They attacked Goryeo from the south, while the Japanese army attacked Goryeo from the southeast. The routes of the two sides would definitely overlap. Do they still want to fight the Japanese army?
Tang Qian said anxiously: "General, this matter is of great importance. We must immediately pass on the information to the emperor and let the emperor know about this situation."
Liu Qiong nodded, handed the eagle letter to the intelligence officer and said: "Send the eagle letter to the capital immediately, using a purple mailbox."
"Follow the order!"
Joining the Army took Ying Xin and hurried away.
Three days later, 80,000 troops boarded 300 large ships carrying a large amount of military supplies and sailed toward Tamna Island.
