A knock on the door sounded, and Tie Mo's thoughts flew back from a distant place. He put down the spy in his hand. After a while, Li Wanqing walked in excitedly, "Your Highness, we will be near North Korea in a few hours."
Now, how should we fight the next battle?"
Li Wanqing couldn't help but be excited, because the conquest of North Korea was the first official expedition of the Northern Shanxi Navy, and he had to perform well.
Although the bosses of the Northern Shanxi Army have never complained, they are actually very critical of His Highness spending most of his money on the Navy. Everyone feels that the Navy is just a useless thing, and they are only doing it for a while.
OK, it won't be a big deal. Li Wanqing was promoted from a lower-level officer. He dared not speak out when the big bosses of the Northern Shanxi Army rolled their eyes, so he was holding back a fire in his heart. He finally seized the opportunity and had to perform well.
OK.
Li Wanqing was waiting for the iron governor's heartfelt answer, but the iron governor was not in a hurry. This was his first landing operation, so he had to be careful. He knew his own affairs, and even though he was said to have an army of fifty thousand, he could
In fact, there are only fifteen thousand gangsters and criminals. If we lose the first battle, our own people will probably be in chaos first. This battle will not be easy to fight.
Seeing Li Wanqing breathing heavily, he was not in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down and talk, "Li Wanqing, you are the Dinghai Shenzhen of our Navy. Why can't you be more steady when things happen? If you want to fight, why don't you?
Easy, you answer my question first, dare to ask General Li, I want Hanyang City, what are you going to do?"
Hanyang City, also known as Seoul in later generations, has a very important geographical location. Apart from the royal capital, the geographical location of Hanyang City is even more important. It is located on the Han River, making it easy for naval forces to enter and exit. Taking Hanyang City can be regarded as a stronghold. But
Hanyang City is not easy to capture. Not only the city walls are high and thick, Cui Zhuo's five thousand soldiers and horses are also stationed in the city. Five thousand soldiers and horses are not too many, but it is too easy to defend a strong city.
Although I have an army of tens of thousands, there are only more than 13,000 people who dare to attack the city, and they are all sailors who are not good at attacking cities. It is simply fanciful to expect those who have not received formal training to attack a large army. Sometimes,
The army of cannon fodder also depends on where it is used. If it were a land battle, Tie Mo would not hesitate to send the army of prisoners as cannon fodder, but attacking Hanyang City would definitely not work.
, the army of prisoners will definitely not be able to take down the fortified city in one go. If they are allowed to struggle for a while, their morale will have to drop to the Ice Valley. With more than 13,000 people attacking Hanyang City, it is very difficult no matter how you think about it.
Li Wanqing was not a fool. He certainly knew how difficult it was to defeat Hanyang City. The excitement on his face gradually faded, and his brows furrowed tightly. He sat on the cushions and thought about it. After a long time, he frowned and said, "Your Highness.
, It is really inappropriate to attack Hanyang City by force. I have thought about it for a long time, but I can’t think of any good way. I would like to ask for your Majesty’s advice.”
"You." Tie Mo grinned. Li Wanqing couldn't help it. He just didn't have confidence. But that's right. This was the first time Li Wanqing had taken on such an important task, so he should not dare to say anything nonsense.
Spreading out the map, Tie Mo reached out and clicked on two places, one was Nanpu and the other was Renzhou. Nanpu was easy to explain. This place is the best dock in the Korean Peninsula today. If the navy wants to be stationed in the Korean Peninsula for a long time, Nanpu must be occupied.
That's fine. As for Renzhou, it's a bit confusing. Li Wanqing wondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, "Your Highness, as long as we capture Nanpu, the army can land smoothly, why bother to attack Renzhou?"
?』
Inju is the Incheon of later generations. It is estimated that not many people are aware of the famous Incheon Landing. Incheon is connected to the Han River. From west to east from the Incheon Landing, the entire peninsula can be divided into two parts, the north and the south. It is really a battle for military strategists. Today, the world cannot see the importance of Renzhou. That is because they do not have a navy and do not know the beauty of Renzhou. But Tiemo is different. Not only does it have a powerful navy, but it also has a consciousness that is ahead of its time.
To attack Renzhou, we not only need to enter the Han River, but more importantly, there is a powerful armed force active in Wenshan in the northeast of Renzhou. This is the power of Jin Xilang, a descendant of the original Jin Tilong. Jin Xilang occupied the Wenshan area and operated After more than 20 years, it can be said that the tree is big and has deep roots. Jin Xilang originally had no good impression of Wang Jian's descendants. He has been thinking about regaining the Jin Dynasty and coveting Hanyang City for more than a day or two. What is even more valuable is that Jin Xilang Holding more than 15,000 soldiers
Ma, he is the number one bandit in the entire Korean Peninsula. Tie Mo thought very simply. Since Woller can bribe Li Ziqian by entering the Korean Peninsula, why can't he go with Jin Xilang and promise Jin Xilang some benefits? Isn't it wonderful to drive away tigers and devour wolves?
What Tie Mo was thinking was 80% impossible for Li Wanqing to guess, so he simply stopped guessing. Now there are less than a thousand defenders in Nanpu, but there are more than 3,000 defenders in Renzhou City. If they want to defeat them, it is not possible. So easy.
Nampo, as one of the few commercial ports on the Korean Peninsula, has been abandoned for a long time. Due to the rise of bandits and powerful forces in the Korean Peninsula, and the sluggish business under the ravages of war, the originally prosperous Nampo has also dimmed. The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month blows. , dozens of small wooden boats were swaying in the water, looking very desolate. Li Chengwan took a nap under the flagpole with a wooden gun in his arms, and he was still complaining in his heart. The team leader also didn't know the sufferings of the world. In this cold weather, It's really hateful that they still have people standing guard. The big guys are busy fighting for territory and becoming kings. Who cares about this poor place like Nanpu? We can just live a good life by collecting tolls from our own people.
Besides, in the whole of North Korea, I don’t know which mountain king has a naval force. Guarding the dock is of no use. Is it necessary to watch the water and cool the breeze all day long?
Li Chengwan dared not say anything in anger, but Cui Mazi, who was standing guard, was a little bolder. He grinned and said in a rough voice, "Damn, this cold wind is blowing, Wu Changhun is not a thing, I Hiding in the flower-filled building and having fun, let us suffer here. Look at the water, besides a few broken boats with mud legs, what else is there? How can those things occupy Master Gao's territory?"
Mr. Gao either has an official position or a personal name. I don’t know what kind of bad luck this guy had. He was originally a bastard in the capital city, and later he became the commander-in-chief of the capital city. After a few years, he actually became an official and became a real person. Mr. Gao in the sense of the word. After Mr. Gao became the guard of Nanpu, all his gangsters came over, and soon Nanpu became Mr. Gao's private territory.
After Woller took over North Korea, no one cared about the small place of Nampo anymore. So the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. The tall man raised a big flag and called himself "King of Nampo". He lived by collecting tolls from ships. It's also leisurely.
Cui Mazi opened his mouth and kept cursing. His eyes kept glancing back and forth with a sneer in his eyes. They were just a bunch of idiots. What kind of trouble could they cause? But soon, Cui Mazi's eyes changed from disdain to disdain. He was surprised, then disbelieving. Suddenly, he was sweating profusely. He turned around and ran away with his wooden gun in his arms. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. "Mother, mother, heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals... heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals..." Will...."
Where did the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals come from? Are you stunned? Li Chengwan just wanted to curse, but there are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. If there really were heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, North Korea would become like a bird like it is now, with bandits everywhere and everywhere.
He is the king of the mountain, and the people are in dire straits. However, Li Chengwan could not curse out loud, because his eyes also turned into the look of Cui Mazi, and he saw a fleet of ships in the distance covering the sky, especially the ships in front.
It's scary. The sail alone is bigger than a broken wooden boat. Where did this powerful fleet come from?
Li Chengwan ran as fast as he could after Cui Mazi. They thought of informing Mr. Gao. Although no one expected Mr. Gao to be able to resist, there was no harm in informing him. At least he had to get the reward. At most, he could just take the reward.
Let's run. In Nanpu City, Mr. Gao is not very tall. He is short and fat, with a mustache and eyebrows. He is smiling. He is exactly like a fat version of Lu Xiaofeng. At this time, Mr. Gao is surrounded by people, and the fragrant wind blows.
The woman kept pouring wine and laughing, and the fire in the house was bright, which made people's desires rise.
"Your Majesty...it's not good...a fleet of ships came from outside the pier, such a big ship, so big...so big..." Cui Mazi was out of breath as he was running too fast.
Yes, I even forgot the etiquette of knocking on the door when entering a house.
Fortunately, Mr. Gao didn't come from a wealthy family, so he didn't care much. He just cared that this bastard disturbed his enjoyment. He stared at him and cursed angrily, "Who are you? Where did you come from?
What kind of fleet? If there really is a fleet, my lord...it’s too late for me to be happy. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a satisfactory deal, so why are you panicking?”
Hearing Master Gao say this, Cui Mazi almost burst into tears. What's going on? One big ship can hold up dozens of small broken boats at the pier. Looking at their flags fluttering, it doesn't look like they're here to make a living.
That's interesting. Our Lord Gao is still planning to rob the caravan. If this deal can be done, Cui Mazi might as well give his surname Gao. "Your Majesty, that's not what you said. There are many people on board. I've heard that
I once saw a large barge from the Tang Dynasty. It was terrifyingly big, more than ten feet long. Many of the ships that came here were bigger than this."
Cui Mazi is still somewhat educated. When he said this, Master Gao was also shocked. A boat that is more than ten feet tall. Damn, what kind of boat is this? Is it a giant on the water?
Although Mr. Gao was born in a gangster, he still had some ideas. He would not believe that such a big ship was a caravan. If he used such a big ship to transport goods, would he be worried about the loss? There was no need to think about it, so he stood up and went.
Touching his hat, "Go tell Gao Xiren and lead the troops to the dock quickly. I want to see who dares to come to Nanpu to run wild."
Gao Xiren is the younger brother of Master Gao. He is known as the number one confidant of Master Gao. The two brothers led the so-called Nanpu army to the pier. Looking south, they saw the empty water surface of the pier.
There was a fleet of boats that could not be seen beyond the horizon. He originally thought that Cui Mazi was talking nonsense, but after seeing the scene on the water, he could only say that he had too little experience. There were so many big ships and those small wooden boats.
Hiding under the giant ship, like a group of trembling ants, there are two flags hanging on the front dragon ship, which look like Chinese characters. Unfortunately, the tall man is uneducated and illiterate, so he can only wink and drag his dog-headed military advisor away.
Come over here, "Hey, take a good look, what's written on the flag?"
The dog-headed military advisor squinted his eyes and looked hard. After looking at it for a long time, he trembled and said, "Your Majesty, what are written on it are "Northern Jin Army" and "King of Jin Dynasty in Ming Dynasty"!"
The Northern Jin Army? What is that? Mr. Gao really doesn’t know what the Northern Jin Army is, but he understands the word "Da Ming". King Jin of the Ming Dynasty, how big an official this is, just sounds awesome. Mr. Gao
He touched his fat face and swallowed his saliva, but he really didn't want to accept his fate. He mustered up the courage to stand forward, drew out his steel sword and said angrily, "You, the great king of the heaven above, with virtue spread all over the world, why do you come to me today?"
Nanpu? Although I don’t have many men in Nanpu, I’m not that easy to bully?”
On the bow of the ship, a heroic man wearing a cloak, a golden brocade robe, and a jade-like face stood and looked at him. Who else could this man be besides Tie Mo? Tie Mo couldn’t understand Korean, but there was a capital university.
The official who was proficient in Korean translated, "Your Highness, the North Korean officials don't seem to welcome us, and they want to compete with His Highness's troops."
Tie Mo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he was surprised, "Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect this fat guy to have some courage. If you want to fight, then let's fight. Tell Fan Xin to fire two rounds!"
After giving the order, the flag bearer waved the flag. Mr. Gao stood on the shore and looked at it in a daze. Is it fun for the man on the bow of the boat to wave the red flag? Soon Mr. Gao no longer felt it was fun, and all he saw was the boat.
Two large ships came out of the team, and there were weird things on the bows. I didn’t want to see you understand what was going on, but two dark things flew out of the bows, and then there was a roaring sound near the dock in the distance.
Two sounds, the sound was as loud as thunder, and it also brought water spray to the sky. When the water spray fell, the wooden boat docked nearby had already turned into pieces.
Master Gao was completely shocked. He had never seen such a thing in his life. It was so damn powerful. He swallowed his saliva. Then Master Gao did something shocking. He threw the steel knife away.
Lifting up the front hem, he knelt down with a plop, banged his forehead on the ground, and didn't get up again.
"The Great King of Heaven... I am willing to stay at your side and serve you morning and evening..."
Well, Mr. Gao used to be just and awe-inspiring, but now he has become like this. His face has changed so quickly that people are caught off guard!
Mr. Gao landed with both legs on the ground, and the change was so fast that not only the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army who were preparing for war did not expect it, but also the Koreans behind them did not expect it. Some people whispered that Mr. Gao was so shameless, but Fatty Gao secretly despised it and said
Who doesn't know how to be a warrior? But it depends on the situation. The Han people fired two cannons and directly destroyed several wooden boats. If they were to fight head-on, how many of the people under my command would be left?
There is a saying that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. There is also a saying that it is better to die than to live. He is a tall man and has no lofty ambitions. He is very happy if he can live a good life. As for fighting for hegemony and rebuilding the Korean dynasty, he is too far away. This chapter has been completed!
