485. The Complex of the Sea

What is Shibata Katsuya most afraid of?

First, I am afraid that Yushiba Hideyoshi will make a conspiracy and collude with the emperor and the official family. Second, I am afraid that Yushiba Hideyoshi will join forces with the Ming Dynasty. Third, I am afraid that in this land of Goryeo, my sons will make trouble.

However, what he didn't expect was that the three things he was afraid of were actually fulfilled one by one at this time!

It is no secret that Yushiba Hideyoshi colluded with the official family, and since he came to Goryeo, he has never stumbled the Shibata Katsu family.

And now, it has become a "fact" that Yushiba Hideyoshi has formed an alliance with the Ming Army and the Goryeo Army, and they actually sent assassins to kill their favorite young son in the midst of the army!

Why haven't I been saving? Why hasn't he determined an heir, just to let his young son grow up and become the rightful heir of the Shibata family!

Now, however, it's all over! It's all over!

As soon as Shengzhong died, the other four sons in the family all cheered, they knew that Shengzhong was my heart's meat, and what I had been waiting for, so it was natural that there would be such an unkind and unrighteous performance.

In their hearts, they may know that even if Shengzhong can't take over, it won't be their turn, but as long as it's not Shengzhong's succession, it's enough! That's how I think!

All right! All right! If you don't care about your family's future, why should I care about your future?

Since you will destroy, let us destroy together! Destroy!

Pass my orders! The whole army is assembled, the target is northwest, and the whole line is attacked by Hashiba Hideyoshi's army!

......

The day after I returned to Pyongyang, I received the latest news from the front - Shibata Katsuie had begun an all-out attack on Hideyoshi Hashiba!

After they were attacked and captured by Li Rusong in Seoul, they completely cut off the rear route, and instead began to make a desperate bet, starting from Wangjing and going east to north, attacking Mount Kumgang, Wonsan, and Jinye, and aiming directly at the army of Yuchai Hideki, which was hoarded in Hamhung.

This is a blessing to Li Rusong, to me, and to the entire Ming Army! It also means that the steps I hope for are being achieved step by step.

What do we need to do? Of course, it is impossible to sit idly by, and when the enemy and the enemy begin to fight to the death, it is certainly not our duty to persuade and fight, so let's add another fire!

I consulted with Li Rusong and reached an agreement that he would lead the Li family army from Seoul to attack Wangjing and Kaesong. And Ye Sizhong and I led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to return to Busan by waterway to attack the final landing point of Shibata Katsuya!

This is also the best way to cut off the last foundation of Shibata Katsuya, which can be called the bottom of the kettle!

And my more important purpose is to take Zheng Shibiao with him, so that he can learn the most advanced knowledge and skills of naval warfare and naval warfare little by little.

Time was running out, and the day after we agreed, on February 17, we set off south, boarded the ship at the mouth of the Han River, bypassed the Goryeo Peninsula, and headed straight for Busan in the southeast corner of the peninsula!

The main garrison of the Shibata Army was all gathered in the city of Busan, and formed a moon-shaped formation facing the sea, which was more to defend against attacks from the sea, because they were afraid that we would attack this most important stronghold.

They were right, we were going to pull out the nail, but not in a different way.

I didn't plan to attack head-on, but planned to have my troops land from Haeundae, spend the winter cypress, go around the west, and then choose an opportunity to go south and backstab the garrison of the Shibata army!

According to my plan, this is the equivalent of a left hook, which is a must-kill move; The false trick to lure the enemy is an attack from the sea, which will attract the attention of most of the Shibata army, and it is also a false trick to confuse the enemy.

So I will cooperate with Ye Sizhong, and he will lead the army to land in Haeundae, while I will lead the fleet and shell the city of Busan!

February 18, 1590, fine.

Ye Sizhong followed the transport fleet and drove to Haeundae first, but it was a night operation, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Busan defenders.

And my troops were fanfare, lighting fireworks almost all the way, for fear that Busan's Shibata army would not see it, and they swaggered through the city and came to the sea east of Busan Castle.

The most excited person is Zheng Shibiao, this little guy knows that we have to fight from the sea today and defeat the invincible Japanese Kou.

This is a feat that his father has not accomplished in his life, and even the tragedy of their family is due to the actions of the Wakos at sea. Although his father said that the Wako did not intend to attack them, there was no doubt that his father's death was inseparable from the Wako.

Therefore, after knowing today's action, Zheng Shibiao was even more excited and didn't sleep all night, so when she stood on the deck this morning, her eyes were covered with heavy eye bags, and she looked like a giant panda from a distance!

"Sir! Mr! Are we really going to attack Busan? Zheng Shibiao's voice was trembling, although we had blocked the Shibata Katsuya army in the small town of Xiaoqingshan before, but at that time, it was because our side waited for work and there were dangers to defend, so we had such an excellent record.

But this time it was different, we were visiting Busan, and Shibata Katsuie's army was waiting for work and danger, and the situation was completely reversed, so he was worried that this time it would be us who would be blocked.

I held the side of the boat with both hands, pointed in the direction of Busan Castle, and said to Zheng Shibiao seriously: "Shibiao, look! Over there is the city of Busan. To give! You take this telescope and see what they're doing! ”

Zheng Shibiao took the telescope and tried to look forward with his eyes, almost stuffing the eyepiece of the telescope into his eyes.

"They're preparing! Mr! I see a lot of turrets! A lot of soldiers! Zheng Shibiao was completely unexpectedly surprised by the magic of this "artifact" in his hand, and he saw the movement of Busan City two nautical miles away from the inside, and he almost exclaimed excitedly!

"Don't make a fuss, it's going to be your daily routine in the future. Remember, I want you to be an Admiral, and now is the beginning of all the classes! Are you ready? I asked solemnly.

Zheng Shibiao listened to the seriousness of my question, immediately put down the telescope in his hand, and replied solemnly: "Understood! Mr! Your cultivation of the watch is like a reconstruction, and the watch will never be forgotten! I don't dare to forget the teachings of Mr. Education and finally the righteousness of the Han family! ”

I nodded and exclaimed, "Good! Then you can see now how our navy will crush these enemies entrenched behind the fortifications! ”

Zheng Shibiao nodded again, stood aside respectfully, looked at me and shouted the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, and gave an order in a loud voice: "The whole army gathers fire Taizongtai!" Then shift your firepower and attack Shadow Island! Finally, gather fire to Nampo and shell the center of Busan City! ”

"Yes!" The Nine Ghosts Masataka returned, and then turned around and passed my orders to the captains of the ships in flags!

"Boom, boom, boom!" The guns of the flagship America began to sound first, and the huge roar followed the wild flames, and the cannonballs with unrestrained flames hit Taizongtai one after another!

We have been at sea for a long time, and we have long been accustomed to the roar of this cannon, but Zheng Shibiao can't, he is still just a child after all, although he is bold enough, and smart enough.

So he was so frightened that he covered his ears with his hands and screamed!

I know he's scared, but the mission of history makes him have to be strong!

"Put your hands down!" I yelled at Zheng Shibiao!

Zheng Shibiao was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears, but he still understood that I was responsible for him, gritted his teeth, blushed, and put down his hands tremblingly, but he was immediately frightened by the sound of the cannon roar and wanted to raise his hand to cover his ears!

"Put it down!" I shouted at Zheng Shibiao again! Zheng Chenggong's grandfather, how could he be intimidated by the sound of cannons?

Although he is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, there is no way, I don't have much time to educate him and accompany him to grow up slowly, so I have to let him grow up immediately, even if it is to pull out the seedlings to help him grow!

"Yes! Mr! Zheng Shibiao shouted at me with his eyes closed.

"That's right! When you're afraid, you shout it out! Open your eyes and shout! I shouted at Zheng Shibiao again.

My voice drowned out the roar of the cannon in his ears, and it made him feel a sense of peace in his heart.

"That's power!" Zheng Shibiao had such a thought in his young heart, maybe if my father was still alive, he could give me such strength!

Unconsciously, deep in his heart, he had begun to have a trace of me, a person who was both revered and feared, which I had never imagined.

I only want to train him to be a good military strategist, but I don't want to train him to be a person with whom I have a flesh-and-blood connection.

"Yes! Mr! I'm not afraid! Zheng Shibiao shouted at me. He strained to open his eyes, and even though I could see the traces of tears in them, he tried to keep them open as if he were not afraid.

"Look over there!" I pointed in the direction of Taizongtai and shouted at Zheng Shibiao.

Countless shells rained down on Taizongtai, hitting the fortifications and defenders there in a mess!

Countless fires rose from the shore, like countless fireworks were set off collectively!

But I know that fireworks are pleasant, but the sparks of artillery fire are deadly.

Zheng Shibiao was almost stunned, and immediately forgot the sound of the cannon that was still roaring in his ears! After looking at it for a while, he even took the initiative to raise the telescope in his hand and aimed at the direction of Taizongtai and tried to look!

"Sir! They're on the run! Fleeing in rout! Zheng Shibiao shouted.

"That's right! This is the power of the Navy! I grabbed him by the shoulders and solemnly preached to him: "In the future world, whoever controls the sea will control everything!" So I want you to remember that to be the master of the sea is to be the master of destiny! Remember? ”

"Remember! Mr! Although Zheng Shibiao may not fully understand what I mean, when he saw all this in front of him, the awe and excitement that sprouted from the sea had left an indelible shadow in his heart!

"To be the master of the sea is to be the master of destiny!" Zheng Shibiao meditated in his heart.

The roar of artillery fire in his ears seemed to have disappeared, and he could no longer do any harm to him.

He grows!

I watched Zheng Shibiao's eyes change from blurry to clear, and from clear to godly, I knew that this kid had fallen in love with the navy!

And that's what I'm ultimately aiming for.
