"Sir, is the real goal of the Japanese still Yangzhou?" - Tang Xing also came with him. He likes to chase novel things all his life and travel on the sea in the fog. How can we miss such a novel experience?
?
At this moment, Tang Xing listened to Yuan Xiang's speculation about "making an attack in the east and attacking in the west", and couldn't help but feel that Yangzhou was in a particularly dangerous situation.
In terms of wealth and geographical advantages, ten Runzhous cannot compare to Yangzhou, which is known as Jiangdu.
"Maybe it's more than just making noises to the east and attacking the west." Chang Suining turned around and looked at Jiangdu: "They may have made two preparations. If they can successfully capture the defense of Runzhou this time, they can 'retreat and do the next best thing' and land in Runzhou first, and then
Trying to plot more—"
"Even if they can't capture Runzhou, if they decide to capture Runzhou now, they can take advantage of the danger in Runzhou to effectively contain our army's strength, and then take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to capture Yangzhou with their real main force..."
This is Maro Fujiwara's consistent style of doing things.
He is cautious and cunning, and when faced with major decisions, he will never bet on victory or defeat on just one front.
This is also the way the Japanese behave at sea. They are used to guerrilla warfare. Over time, guerrilla raids are what they are best at.
When two armies are fighting, what is necessary is to find ways to weaken what the other side is good at——
"Commander, do you want Yangzhou to strengthen its defenses in preparation for Japanese raids?" Yuanxiang asked seriously.
"Defense alone is destined to be unable to stop the offensive of the main Japanese army." Chang Sui Ning said: "Next, we must have several head-on battles with Fujiwara."
She said: "Don't worry about the rear defense for the time being, I will do my best to arrange it -"
How she was going to fight this battle was a strategy she decided upon after discussing with Chang Kuo. With Chang Kuo sitting at the rear, she could just act according to the original plan from the front.
Looking at the vast sea, Chang Suining said: "The Japanese army has gathered troops on a large scale, which is a 'good thing'."
In the past few days, she has done so much and shown her weakness appropriately, in order to let the Japanese army know one "fact" - she is only good at defense, but guerrilla warfare cannot break through her "foolish defense"
"If you want to tear apart the defense, you can only attack it with heavy troops.
This "fact" is the "fact" she wants the Japanese army to see.
The Japanese army's current move to gather troops was also the result of her planning. From this perspective, she was the one who took the initiative, and taking the initiative was an advantage, so it was said to be a "good thing."
The enemy is outnumbered, the navy available to her is limited, Da Sheng's national power is declining, civil strife is frequent, and the anti-Japanese war is time-consuming and labor-intensive. No matter how you look at it, there is no advantage in this battle——
But the war has to be fought. She can only be passive and pessimistic and wait for the day of destruction. If she doesn't have an advantage, then she will create an advantage. When enough advantages are accumulated, she can reverse the situation of inevitable defeat.
At this moment, Chang Suining is on the road of "creating advantages".
Time is running out. The Japanese army's fangs and jaws will appear at any time behind the thick fog. She must arrange everything properly before then.
Fortunately, with the help of the sea breeze, the boat was able to move quickly on the sea.
The Japanese patrols and explorations in this sea area were only reduced compared to before, but not completely absent.
On the way, Chang Suining and others encountered traces of Japanese troops more than once. Those who could avoid them would avoid them in time. Those who could not avoid them would kill people and seize ships by surprise, and throw their bodies into the sea.
The patrolling Japanese soldiers could not have imagined how the Dasheng navy would suddenly appear here when the Runzhou defense line was in a critical situation... Didn't these Sheng people never dare to step out of the defense line?!
But even more Japanese soldiers did not know until their death the origins of those black-armored men who suddenly appeared from the mist like ghosts and took away their lives with extremely powerful skills and murderous intent.
Chang Suining seized their ship and asked some of his men to put on their armor and sabers. Without stopping, he continued to move forward by the wind.
Another night, as dawn approached, Chang Suining and his party successfully approached an island.
There are soldiers guarding the entrance to the island. Judging from their attire and temperament, they should be from different countries.
There is still fog on the sea today, and it is not yet bright at this moment. When seeing a ship approaching, the soldiers on the island immediately raised their swords and asked, "Who are you!"
He speaks Dongluo language.
Immediately afterwards, several soldiers dressed as Japanese warriors came out from behind them. One of them said: "They should be our people!"
While the leader was speaking, he looked at the docked ship and the people who got off the ship, frowned and asked in Japanese: "Why are you here suddenly? Is there any urgent report?"
His vision was still a little blurry, but he judged that the person coming was one of his own through the familiar boats and clothes.
But seeing that the people who got off the boat did not answer, and the figures of the people on the boat were vaguely different, the leader also realized that something was wrong. While pressing the knife, he was about to speak again when the first person to get off the boat suddenly flew away.
Attacked him, he used the dagger that slipped out of his sleeve and cut his throat with his backhand.
The moment Yuan Xiang retracted the dagger, he glanced at the Japanese who was holding his throat with his eyes wide open, and said: "I'm really sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about."
This movement quickly alerted the remaining guards on the island, and they immediately pounced on him with their swords drawn.
During this gap, dozens of small boats quickly approached.
A Japanese soldier on the island was horrified when he saw this. Just as he was about to light the gunpowder signal tube in his hand as a warning, his throat was suddenly pierced by a sharp arrow carrying the chill of the sea.
Wearing a black robe with sleeves, Chang Suining, who had just gotten off the boat, threw his long bow to his followers and at the same time drew out the sun from his waist.
There was moist mist between her brows and eyes, and her voice was also tainted with the coldness of dawn: "No Japanese will be left on the island! The rest, except civilians, who dare to resist will be killed on the spot!"
"yes!"
One after another, extremely agile figures jumped out of the boat behind the black-robed girl who ordered the attack on the island.
They charged towards the island with an unstoppable attitude, and within half an hour, they successfully landed on the island.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the first ray of morning light fell, the girl in black robe set foot on the island with a bloody sword in her hand.
A wounded island guard backed away in horror, looked at the intruder in front of him, and asked in fear in Dongluo language: "You...who are you?"
"I am Chang Sui Ning, the governor of Jiangdu."
The girl wiped the blood stained on the sword clean on the corpse of the Japanese soldier beside her, then raised her hand to put the sword back into its sheath. At the same time, she looked at the guard and said, "Let your star master come to see me quickly."
Tang Xing translated her words into Dongluo language.
The guard looked extremely panicked. He retreated and fled, reporting the news.
This is Tamra.
Tamna is an island under the jurisdiction of Dongna. Its territory is so small that it cannot even be called a complete and independent country. Most of the people on the island speak Dongna language. Because of its geographical location between Dongna and Wodo,
It was also influenced by Japanese culture.
Their island master was not allowed by Dong Luo to call himself the king, but could only be called the "star master".
For this reason, this place is far behind Dongluo and Wa. Whether it is housing construction, or the defense and weapons on the island, most of them are even old things that have been eliminated by Silla.
Tang Xing has been to Dongluo before, but this is the first time he has set foot on this small island of Tamluo.
After following Chang Suining to the island, he looked around curiously and unexpectedly discovered that most of the utensils used on the island were still made of stone.
Wherever they went, the islanders hid in haste. The armor and swords they wore made the islanders dare not take any action of resistance and provocation.
No wonder Governor Chang had previously said that two thousand naval forces were enough...if he brought an extra thousand, it would be considered bullying.
Tang Xing was fascinated when he saw something suddenly thrown towards him.
Tang Xing subconsciously caught it, looked down and saw that it was a bright yellow orange with two leaves on the stem.
He looked around and saw Chang Suining in front of him raising his hand to pick two more oranges and handing them to Yuan Xiang and Wu Jue respectively.
Wujue immediately peeled it open and stuffed two pieces into his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Sweet!"
"Although this place is backward, it is rich in good horses and citrus." Chang Sui Ning said as he walked forward: "We came just in time. At this time of the year, the citrus on the island is the sweetest."
Wujue followed him and said, "I don't know, I thought you led your army to attack here at night just to eat the oranges on this island!"
"It's not impossible. Who doesn't want to eat something good?" Chang Sui Ning said matter-of-factly: "In ancient times, kings conquered the Western Regions. Who can say for sure whether it was for honeydew melons and grapes."
On the road, orange trees that have been planted for many years can be seen everywhere. Amidst the fragrance of citrus, Lord Tamluo rushed over in a panic, with the crown of his hair already crooked.
He did not and did not dare to show any signs of scolding or dissatisfaction. The moment he saw Chang Sui Ning, he immediately knelt down.
Chang Suining looked down at him and asked: "Tanluo also regards me as the suzerain of Dasheng. In the spring, Japanese troops passed through the border. Why didn't Tamluo know about it and not report it?"
Tang Xing acted as the translator in the middle.
The Lord of Tamluo who was kneeling on the ground even had a trembling voice: "It's not that Tamluo doesn't retaliate, but that there is no way to retaliate... Tamluo has always been under the jurisdiction of Dongluo. At that time, the old King Dongluo was seriously ill.
, the new King of Dongluo has secretly colluded with the Japanese country... Tamluo is caught in the middle, but it is just a small island and cannot resist at all!"
"We are a prosperous and powerful country, and our moral character is noble... I hope that the governor Chang will show his noble hand and not be as knowledgeable as us!"
At this moment, the Lord of Tamra Star was in a state of panic. He really didn’t know how these people managed to bypass the patrols of the Japanese soldiers and attack the island... Could it be that the situation of the Japanese soldiers was not good at this time?!
Chang Sui Ning can understand the rest of the words without Tang Xing translating them word for word. They are all words of begging for mercy.
"But it is a fact that you broke your promise first." She said: "I can not hurt Tamluo, but the condition is that you must obey my orders next."
During the Japanese army's attack on the country, Tamra must have had difficulties, but the reality may not be what this person says. It was all coerced by Dongluo and the Japanese.
As far as Dasheng is concerned, they are an alien race, and ambition usually stems from dissatisfaction with the status quo.
She does not have to anger the innocent civilians on the island, but: "From this moment on, I will temporarily take over this place - does the Star Master have any objections?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Lord Tamluo knocked his head on the ground, tried his best to show his loyalty, and begged with tears: "Dare to ask the governor to tell the King of Dasheng that Tamluo was involuntarily, and give Danluo
Find a way out..."
Chang Sui Ning nodded: "Star Lord, don't worry, as long as Tamluo is willing to cooperate with me, I promise not to harm any plant or tree on the island -"
After finishing speaking, from the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Jue standing on a stone and frantically picking tangerines from the tree. Yuan Xiang was picking up tangerines from below, with the robe in front of him full of pockets...
Rigorous as Chang Suining, he hurriedly interrupted Tang Xing's translation: "...change the part about not harming every plant and tree on the island."
When Wu Jue came down from the stone, he said with a reserved smile: "...We're here now, so we have to bring some to A Dian. Children love to eat these!"
Oh, there’s also a return date. He’s also a big foodie, so I’ll give him a try!
In short, it’s not because he’s greedy!
Although Lord Tamluo didn't understand Wujue's words, he saw that the Taoist had a greedy look on his face, which made him feel uneasy. He was obviously a villain, and villains were the least suitable to be offended, so he kept saying: "The island is small, but only
Ordinary citrus can be used to entertain guests... If your guests like it, please feel free to pick it!"
In this way, he ordered his men to help Wujue pick oranges, and he picked five or six baskets.
Under the arrangement of Chang Suining, Yuan Xiang quickly took control of the entire island and replaced the people on duty at various places with his own people. The person guarding key points must be paired with someone who understands the Dongluo language.
They were all carefully selected by Yuan Xiang based on the physical characteristics of the Dongluo people. Under the guidance of Tang Xing, they have mastered the basic Dongluo language. At this moment, they are dressed as Dongluo or Tamluo soldiers. As long as they do not have in-depth contact
, enough to confuse the fake with the real one.
Chang Sui Ning also quickly had people "replace" those Japanese soldiers who had been eliminated as supervisors. Her people put on Japanese soldiers' robes and sabers and continued patrolling the island.
At this time, due to the large-scale concentration of Japanese soldiers, they were mobilized frequently, and there would be delays in the exchange of information. It was a good time to fish in troubled waters.
As for how many fish you can catch, it all depends on your luck. You can still make money if you catch even one fish.
Due to its geographical location, Tamna now serves to a certain extent as a "station" between Donglua and the Japanese army, which has many uses. Chang Suining ventured here not only to have a foothold on the sea as a guarantee, but also to
It's because of this purpose.
If used properly, Tamluo will be her best eyes and ears in this sea area.
While waiting for his men to complete their deployment on the island, Chang Suining stood on a rock by the sea and looked to the north.
At this time, the fog had mostly dissipated, and standing here, she could already see the islands of Dongluo Kingdom in the distance.
If the Japanese army wants to fight, Dongluo must also be on guard.
Not long after giving away the polo, she had secretly reached a deal with someone.
That man was Jin Chengyuan, the sixth son of the old King Dongluo.
Now that she has arrived in Tamluo successfully, she should say hello to him.
It is the most common thing to travel between Tamluo and Donluo.
Especially as citrus fruits have matured recently, Tamluo needs to send new tangerines to Dongluo.
The day for the citrus tribute was originally scheduled for three days later.
And because Tamluo secretly changed the person in charge, this tribute is destined to be unsettled.
