1274. The Navy Goes on Expedition
The monarchs of the two countries chose to honor the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty as the Emperor of Heaven, which was really a wise move.
Otherwise, with the national strength of the two countries, how could they be able to invite such strong help from the Great Song Dynasty?
Soon, there were naval warships heading towards the shore. Then put down the boat.
Several generals stood tall on the boat, wearing silver armor, and stood majestic in the sun.
When he arrived at the shore, he saw the governor of Chaozhou arching his hand to the generals and said: "The lower officials have seen Deputy Huang's pacification envoy, Commander Chen, Commander Que, and Commander of the Branch. ”
Those who came in small boats were the commanders and important generals of the Heavenly Fall, the Heavenly Defeat, the Heavenly Killing, and the Earth Yong.
Chen Hangyan, the commander of the Heavenly Killing Army, is now quite famous among the generals of various armies, and there is no need to replace him.
Zhi Yongshou, the commander of the Heavenly Defeated Army, was formerly the commander of the Fuzhou garrison, and he also performed well when fighting with the Yuan army. He was originally a general of the Xingguo Military Region, but Zhao Dongting had experience in leading the navy, and he didn't want the stubborn system of the cities of the major military regions, so he parachuted him to Haojing Island as the commander of the defeated army.
Que Huarong, the commander of the Skyfall Army, is not a new face.
He was formerly the commander of the garrison army of Jingjiang Prefecture, and he also made great achievements. Zhao Dongting named him the commander of the Tianyuan Army, which inevitably did not inspire the Zhennan Military Region, and it was also the meaning of the generals of the Zhenguo Military Region.
Although the commander of the Jingjiang Mansion garrison and the commander of the Skyfall Army are of the same rank, their gold content is always different.
The garrisons in various places are regarded as the reserves of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and the generals in their armies are actually the springboard for the generals of the forbidden army.
For example, most of the generals who surrendered in Dali and the New Song Dynasty are now sent to serve in the garrisons and garrisons in various places.
If you perform well, it is not impossible to withdraw the forbidden army in the future. But if the performance is not so outstanding, it is common to retire in the garrison and the garrison.
Zhao Dongting pays attention to the fact that there are not many soldiers, but the fine, and the garrison and garrison troops in various places, their treatment, etc., are of course not as good as the forbidden army.
As for Huang Zhijie, who was called the deputy pacification envoy of Huang by the governor of Chaozhou, he is the deputy pacification envoy of Qiongzhou, and Ran Anguo's left and right hands, originally led the Qiongzhou army bravely, and now he is also leading the ground warrior army.
After all, the situation in Qiongzhou is still a little different from that in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty.
Before the people of the Great Song Dynasty in Qiongzhou were completely integrated with those ethnic minorities, Zhao Dongting would not easily transfer his local generals.
It's a matter that affects the whole body.
Chen Hangyan and the others went to the shore and went directly to the sea, letting the sea water wet their trouser legs, and also greeted the Chaozhou Zhizhou and others.
Then I saw Manasigana and Wang Zaikan who were dressed differently, and guessed the identities of the two.
Chen Hangyan smiled: "I think the two of you are Ma Yi, Bo Ni envoy Lord Ma Na Sigana and Lord Wang Zaikan?" ”
Manasigana and Wang Zaikan gave up their hands one after another, "I've seen all the generals." ”
If there is a request for others, of course, they should put their posture lower.
Mo Li smiled next to him: "Envoy Mo Li, I am fortunate to have met the generals. ”
Then, in just a few simple words, everyone became quite familiar with each other.
After all, at this time, the navigators and admirals next to Manasigana and the others were already good friends with Chen Hangyan, Huang Zhijie and others.
They have been in various armies for a long time, and they have indeed paid a lot of credit for the training of the Great Song Navy.
On this day, the Great Song Navy was not in a hurry to go to sea.
As the host, the governor of Chaozhou held a banquet in the government to entertain Manasigana, Chen Hangyan and others.
In addition, many generals in the Heavenly Sin Army sitting in Chaozhou were also invited to the banquet.
The banquet was staggered.
Manasigana and others are proficient in Chinese, and they talk and laugh with Chen Hangyan and Huang Zhijie, and they talk happily.
Even Manasigana occasionally popped out of his mouth with some meat jokes, which only made the generals of the Great Song Dynasty very happy.
They are all military generals, and they are not so particular, and they are all heroic people.
Only later, after Manasigana and others became more familiar with the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, they couldn't help but have some doubts.
The Heavenly Fall Army was stationed in Leizhou, the Heavenly Defeat Army was stationed on Haojing Island, the Earth Warrior Army was stationed in Qiongzhou, and the Heavenly Killing Army was stationed in Quanzhou. This puzzled them a little.
Why didn't His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty let the Heavenly Sin Army sitting in Chaozhou go to Mayi and Boni with them, but was so reluctant to seek the near and far.
It doesn't make sense.
After all, the Heavenly Killing Army had to rush from Quanzhou to Chaozhou, which would cost a lot of grain and grass.
After Manasigana asked this, Chen only chuckled.
He explained: "Your Majesty intends to let the navies of our major military regions go out for drills. ”
Manasigana and the others suddenly realized.
The Heavenly Killing Army came from the Xingguo Military Region, the Heavenly Fall and the Heavenly Defeat Army came from the Zhenguo Military Region, and the Earth Yong Army came from Qiongzhou. In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the Dongsha Islands, only these three places have naval formations. The Emperor of Heaven is afraid that he wants these armies to go to Boni and Mayi to accumulate actual combat experience. From this point of view, the construction of the navy by the Great Song Emperor was not limited to this.
Perhaps, in the future, the Great Song Navy will continue to expand.
Following.
Chen Hangyan, Manasigana and others left Chaozhou and boarded a ship on the coast. Soon, the trumpets sounded on the ships.
The nearly 1,000 sea warships of the Great Song Dynasty sailed towards the depths of the sea.
Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as the first expedition of the Great Song Dynasty Navy after Zhao Dongting took control of national affairs.
Deep in the East China Sea.
Dozens of warships, large and small, also sailed in the vast sea.
The only thing is that these ships look quite old, and they do not fly the national flag. Instead, it's a mess of all kinds of pirate flags.
This is the thousands of Dikui troops led by Kongzhu.
They are all pirates, and now they are acting in their true colors and returning to their old jobs.
Ships, all of them were their former ships.
The flags are all flags that have not been destroyed before.
It's just that the soldiers on board are now completely different from before.
In the past, they were pirates, and they could have no rules, and no one would care if they drank, fight, or even play with women on the ship.
But now, they are the real Great Song Forbidden Army.
Although the generals and soldiers were dressed in messy clothes, they had righteousness on their faces, and they could no longer see the appearance of many pirates.
Even the original ferocity now looks much more pleasing to the eye.
The ships were quite quiet.
The empty bamboo of the territorial army is still a scholar, holding a fan, sitting on the bow of the ship and rocking gently. Although he is handsome, he also looks like a dog-headed military advisor.
Now he is also a hero.
Being able to become the commander of the Great Song Dynasty Demon Army may be something he didn't even dare to think about before.
No matter how prosperous you are as a pirate, it is difficult to have your current status.
And now, he has finally returned with a beauty, and he and the red lady live together. The two served together in the Great Song Dynasty, which is also a good story.
For Emperor Zhao Dongting, Kongzhu was of course grateful in his heart.
Now he sat in the bow of the boat, looking out to sea, his eyes sparkling.
Since the emperor asked him to fight the pirates who were supported by the Japanese shogunate, he had to give the emperor a satisfactory answer.
Scold.
If you want to talk about being a pirate, Kutake considers himself the ancestor of those Japanese pirates.
When he was playing tactics at sea, those Japanese pirates only dared to play with mud off the coast of Japan!
How can Japan's size nurture such a powerful pirate?
If it had been before, Kuzhu might have really been reluctant to provoke those Japanese pirates casually. But now, it's a lot different.
"Commander."
While he was pondering, a small boat hurried to the great ship on which he was riding, and a soldier climbed up the rope ladder.
In front of Kongzhu, he said, "There is an island five miles ahead. The island is inhabited. ”
By this time, they were already close to the island of Japan.
Kongzhu nodded lightly and said, "Don't call me commander again in the future." ”
The soldier was slightly stunned, and then quickly changed his words: "Yes, chief." ”
Kongzhu waved his hand and let the soldier go down.
Immediately, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to the herald next to him: "Herald, march at full speed!" The whole army is ready for battle! ”
The corners of his mouth pursed slightly, obviously he already had some plans in his heart.
In the midst of the blue waves, dozens of ships flying pirate flags headed towards the island ahead at a high speed.
Although the small ship in front of it said that the island in front was inhabited, in this era, the people who lived on the island were pirates.
Real ordinary people, unless they are desperate, will probably not move to remote islands. Even if you are desperate, you may just find a deep mountain to stay in, and it is also difficult to be found.
