Section 9 Return to the Heart (Unbanning Chapter)
The two days stranded on Ryukyu Island were really long and painful for Yue Xiaofei, who was like an arrow because of the "Jiangnan Incident". Of course, this does not include the lingering night in between.
But he had to stay here for a while, at least this time, to show his concern for the development of the Ryukyu hereditary lords and the Ryukyu Dominions.
In the company of a large group of people who are not very familiar with each other, patrolling back and forth between the commercial district and the people's port, and beside him there is also a person who has the "exclusive right to interview" Li Mei asked questions like a cannonball, which made Yue Xiaofei, a person who is quite loose by nature, feel that today's bright sun is really going too slowly!
Fortunately, time did not change because of his lamentation, so he only had patience and walked through the commercial districts and new towns that he was not interested in, and of course he stayed in the military port he was most interested in for the longest time.
In the end, under his constant begging, the sky finally gradually darkened, and it was time to start the "farewell dinner", which also indicated that the fleet led by Yue Xiaofei could set off for China Mingyue Bay the next day.
There was nothing to say about the night banquet that day, but it is worth mentioning that at the request of the hereditary lord of the Ryukyus, Shang Yuan, Yue Xiaofei would take Shang Wu and make him serve in the Shenzhou army. At the same time, he promised that Shang Yuan would send a convoy to garrison it as soon as possible to prevent Ryukyu from being harassed by the Qing court and overseas enemies.
When Zai Du embarked on the journey home, all the soldiers of the Shenzhou Army, including Yue Xiaofei and Murong Zhuo, looked a little restless.
Last year they left Shenzhou City and went on an expedition to Fuso, and now they are returning to Mingyue Bay in China. Although they all knew about the construction of Mingyue Bay in China from letters and other people's mouths, almost everyone was a little uneasy in their hearts, because everyone didn't know where their doors were open.
However, the two of them are the leaders of the Shenzhou Army, and they have more important things to discuss, at least the major strategic direction must be established first.
"Brother Zhuo, now the crowd is angry, if you don't fight, you can't do it! The silver ticket of one million taels of silver looked like money, but in fact it was a request. ”
Murong Zhuo stared at the map spread out on the platform, shook his head slowly, and said, "Although according to what you said, public opinion always needs to be done by ideas, but fighting a war is not a question of how you want to go. The current situation is that there is no big problem in supporting the Taihu base with the existing military strength and materials, but according to what you said, it will be quite difficult to teach the Qing army a heavy lesson. ”
Yue Xiaofei nodded in agreement: "Yes, now our main goal is Fusang, and at the same time to ensure the safety of the cities and the autonomous territory, but we can't ignore the thoughts of the people...... Hey! This time Bolo, the bastard, has a problem for us! ”
Murong Zhuo, who had inquired about the news of Boluo's army, had a considerable understanding of Bolo.
"The Boloqi people are ruthless and changeable. If he hadn't done this, we would have been able to calm down for one to two years, and when Fusang was completely pacified, we would have been able to free up our hands at that time. But now that his forces have been concentrated, I'm afraid he's preparing supplies, or maybe his old friend who will attack us south again! ”
Yue Xiaofei knew who Murong Zhuo was talking about, and this was exactly what he was worried about.
Bolo may attack Fujian along the old road, if that is the case, according to the current equipment of Bolo's army and Zhu Yujian's scattered sand, you don't need to fight to know who wins and who loses. If Bolo succeeds, then the materials of Mingyue Bay in China will be a big problem.
Murong Zhuo couldn't figure it out, and said a little discouraged: "The situation is roughly like this, in short, we must let Boluo's troops disperse, otherwise strategically speaking, we still have to be in a passive defensive position." Moreover, our Taihu Lake base has been exposed because of the rescue of Wu Shengzhao, and the rescue operation is only afraid that it will be fast, otherwise it will be dangerous there.
As for the Taihu base, if you don't want to do it, let's launch an attack and take them out. Otherwise, our supplies and strength will be constantly consumed by Bolo there. ”
Yue Xiaofei was quite surprised, Taihu Lake on the side of Suzhou, that was where his Murong family started. Murong Zhuo was able to say something he didn't want, which showed that he had a more pessimistic view of the current battle situation.
Yue Xiaofei doesn't see it that way, he is a standard hawk, he wants to snatch things from him, and it is impossible not to fight. In this way, the Taihu Lake base that was so hard built was given to the Qing army, where in the world would there be such a cheap thing! But it's also an indisputable fact that it's hard to hold on! Unless......
Murong Zhuo looked at Yue Xiaofei who lowered his head and pondered, if it weren't for the cigar smoke on his mouth still flickering under the sea breeze, he would have thought that Yue Xiaofei had fallen asleep and wanted to go back to the cabin to accompany his confidant.
After a long time, Yue Xiaofei suddenly said without a head.
"Brother Zhuo, I don't think you and Li Xiangjun's affairs will be delayed, and we will go back in a day or two!"
Murong Zhuo was obviously choked to death by Yue Xiaofei's words, how could he talk about women again when he talked about strategy well!
"Hey! Boy, even though you're a sir, that's my personal ......."
Of course, he was the chief of staff, and his head was naturally not slow to speak halfway, and he somewhat understood what Yue Xiaofei meant: "Oh, aren't you going to withdraw from Jiangnan?" It's just to withdraw those who are in the way, but no matter how strong the island's armament is, it can't withstand Bolo's all-out attack! ”
"Of course I can't stand it! So I'm going to send Roger and them to either get all the ships near Jiangnan to the island or blow them all up, and if Bolo's army has the ability to swim over from the lake to attack, I don't plan to stop him!" That's not his ability! ”
Murong Zhuo sighed, he didn't understand how Yue Xiaofei's head was long, how could he think of it?
Yue Xiaofei's head is actually a worker's head. Especially those who play mechanical, they will not ignore the key things like power switches.
You can imagine that if the "commanders, common people" and other idlers of the Wuwu army there were all taken away, and there was no strength to attack them, wouldn't it be better for them to harass others.
And the size of Taihu Lake is like a person's stomach. Not only are there many cities around it, but also the water network area can highlight the threat to the Yangtze River shipping. And the Taihu Lake base is like a hateful roundworm that can't be caught out by the Qing army. And surround Taihu Lake with an army! I'm afraid that the number of soldiers and horses needed is only astronomical.
While thinking about Yue Xiaofei's words, Murong Zhuo nodded secretly and said, "If that kid from the Hou Fang Domain comes out of the island, then I really have to cook the rice for him quickly!" ”
