Chapter 194: Lieutenant Colonel Chief of Staff

"Xu Lang, a wise choice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" In the mixed brigade department, Zeng Guangxian slapped Xu Lang excitedly, "This Goryeo operation really can't be done without you." ”

Han Wantao had already returned from Yazhou at this time, and all the training in Yazhou was handed over to Deng Zhongguo and Ding Xiaowu: "Xu Lang, I said earlier that there is nothing to do with that committee. It's better to come and let us mix into a brigade, and I'll give you a lieutenant colonel chief of staff. ”

"Thank you, Brigadier Han." Xu Lang smiled, "Do I need to sign a deed of sale with you?" ”

"Hehehehe." Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian laughed at the same time.

"Still." Xu Lang said, "Guangxian will leave in June, and we will be re-elected in July, and I will also hand over the work of the committee." Han Wantao and I left in August, and I want to discuss with you about the things along the way, and what to do after we arrive in North Korea. ”

"No problem." Han Wantao said, "If you have any other ideas, just say it, anyway, you are now the chief of staff, who will you do if you don't advise?" ”

"Bring me a top hat first, do you know the current situation of North Korea and SD?"

"I've heard what Lu Lao said, you can tell me in detail."

"North Korea is now ruled by Injo Yi Jun, that is, the nephew of Gwanghae-kun who we are going to save." Xu Lang introduced the situation in North Korea, "But Li Liang seized power through a palace coup, so the Ming Dynasty government thought that this was a disobedient and unacceptable matter." And in 1627, Huang Taiji and Bel Amin personally led troops to invade Korea, known as the Ding Mao Rebellion, the Korean army was defeated by the Qing soldiers, Injo and the ministers fled to Ganghwa Island, as a result, Korea and the Later Jin negotiated peace, about a brotherly state, and Korea paid tribute to the Later Jin Sui. However, the relationship between Korea and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not been good, and this year, Huang Taiji sent Ba Duli, Chahara and others to North Korea to pay tribute, but Injo only agreed to contribute one-tenth of the tribute, and refused to give it because of the prevarication that gold, silver, and horns were not special products of North Korea. Huang Taiji was very angry, and in the next year he sent a letter to Renzu, asking him to reduce the amount of coins in the year, and to steal animals and hide the crime of fleeing people. North Korea simply refused to exchange money with Houjin in Huiningcheng. Since then, they have repeatedly refused to exchange markets, and built 12 cities, including Gyeonggi, Huanghae, and Pyongan Sandao Baima, to strengthen the defense of Houjin. Of course, that's all for later. ”

"Don't say anything later, I didn't understand what I said." Han Wantao poured Xu Lang a glass of water, "Why do I sound so messy, Guangxian, do you understand?" ”

"I understand the." Zeng Guangxian said with a smile, "Xu Lang, to put it simply, we are not in history class. ”

"Okay, I'll be brief." Xu Lang smiled, "I mean that North Korea is not completely dependent on the Manchus now, and their relationship with the Manchus is not very good. This is an opportunity for us, after we rescue Guanghaijun under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, if we can't use Guanghaijun to bring down Li Liang, we can also use Guanghaijun as a bargaining chip to blackmail Li Liang and the Manchu Qing Dynasty to break off diplomatic relations, and give us the place of Nanpu as our rear base. ”

"Then how do we go to save Gwanghae-kun?" Zeng Guangxian asked.

"Gwanghae-jun is now imprisoned in Jo-tong on Ganghwa Island. Ganghwa Island is about 50 kilometers from Seoul, the capital of North Korea, and later Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and about 1 km across the strait. After we take Ganghwa Island, we can use warships to block the strait and negotiate with Li Liang. Our goal is Nanpu, and Nanpu is still a small fishing village, so I don't think Li Liang will care about this place, and it should be easy to agree to our conditions. ”

"Even if we successfully take Nanpu." Han Wantao asked again, "What about Kong Youde in Dengzhou?" ”

"We try our best to block Kong Youde in the Dengzhou Mansion, and we can't let him surrender to the Manchus, which is also our original idea." Xu Lang replied, "Now the governor of Denglai is Chen Yingyuan, let's go to punch Kong Youde, no matter what you say, it will also help him." Besides, the whole SD is in ruins, if we bring more silver and food and have a relationship with Chen Yingyuan, even if we can't garrison in Dengzhou, I don't think he will drive us away. ”

"Actually, I have an idea." Xu Lang continued, "We have been developing in Yulin Bay for 3 years, although it is not bad, we have also established a relationship with Zheng Zhilong, and we have also set up a point in Vietnam. But after all, Yazhou is too far away from BJ, and the highest-level Ming official we have come into contact with is still at the level of the prefect of Qiongzhou, and Liu Jun has not been able to get in touch with the governor of Liangguang in Guangzhou. Our ultimate goal is to defeat the Manchus, at least to prevent the Manchus from entering the customs. But with our own ability in Yulin Bay, it's too difficult. This Goryeo operation alone used almost all the resources of Yulin Bay, so we still have to rely on the strength of the Ming Dynasty itself. At present, the problem of SD Kong Youde's rebellion is well known in the Ming court, whether it is Zhou Yanru or Wen Tiren, if we can rely on this matter to get involved with them, then it will be of great help to our future development. Even if they can't, as long as they can deal with Chen Yingyuan, it will be of great help to our expedition to Liaodong in two years. ”

"Yes, Xu Lang." Han Wantao boasted, "But I basically didn't understand what you said. ”

"I didn't understand, you said it was good." Xu Lang smiled, "You're hurting me." ”

"No, no." Zeng Guangxian explained, "We are mixed into a brigade, and it is really not good to have you as the chief of staff. Wan Tao and I just think about how to fight, and as for these political issues, we have to trouble you, the chief of staff. ”

Xu Lang spent several days writing two reports, a brief analysis of the Goryeo operation and an extremely detailed plan of action for Han Wantao to be submitted to the Military Commission for consideration.

The conference approved the report submitted by Xu Lang and agreed that Zeng Guangxian would lead the vanguard to set off in June.

After detailed argumentation and deduction, the Military Commission also agreed to the plan submitted by Han Wantao, and Operation Goryeo began.

In mid-June, Zeng Guangxian set sail with more than 20 Daming Fu ships escorted by the God and Yazhou, carrying more than 1,000 soldiers and all the Goryeo operation materials. A cavalry company, a marine company, half a heavy artillery battalion, and an infantry battalion of Ye Zhan remained in Yulin Bay until August before leaving. The entire voyage was more than 3,000 nautical miles, because there were only two warships to escort the escort, and for safety, Zeng Guangxian only set up two supply points, one Taiwan, and one Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Zeng Guangxian and Han Wantao agreed on the meeting place in Incheon. Xu Lang jokingly said that this was the Inchon landing of the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Zhan, the youngest 16-year-old major battalion commander in Yulin Bay, was sitting at the dinner table at home.

After Ye Yan and Ye Zhan came back, they were busy with their own things, and it was rare for the family to get together for a meal. Since Ye Yan and Sun Jiayi got engaged at the beginning of the year, Sun Jiayi almost no longer goes to Ye Yan's house, and every time the family eats, Luo Shi can't help but babble: "It would be nice to add another mouthful." ”

Ye Sunquan's heart once again didn't know what it was like. Ye Zhan was promoted to major battalion commander, but Ye Sunquan lost his original joy at all. The last time he got up to the platoon commander, he went to Annan to fight a fierce battle. This one picked up the battalion commander, still going to North Korea. Where is North Korea? Ye Sun didn't know at all.

"Dad, mother." As the boss, Ye Yan raised his wine glass, "My son respects the second elder with a glass." ”

"Okay." After finishing drinking, Luo Shi said to Ye Zhan, "Second brother, many people have come to our house these days to propose marriage. Your brother's marriage has been decided, and you are 16 years old, otherwise you will accept the girl you like, and you will have to leave again in more than a month. ”

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home."

Ye Sunquan and Luo didn't understand what Ye Zhan said, and the two of them looked at this son in a daze, not knowing whether he agreed or not.

"Second brother, you're not right." Ye Li said on the side, "Mr. Lin and Mr. Xu both said that they want to cultivate themselves, work together, govern the country, and level the world. Second brother, your body has already been cultivated, and the rest is the Qi family. ”

"Three." Ye Zhan said with a smile, "The Qi family doesn't mean to be a family. Qi family is to enable family members to work together and live in harmony. Our family is now a father and a son, and we have joined the family. ”

"I know that the Qi family is not a family." Ye Li defended, "But Mr. Lu said that only when a man has a family can he really know what responsibility is, and only a person who can really take responsibility for his family and children will be responsible for the country and the nation." Just like our dad. ”

"Three, what are you talking about?" Roche was a little surprised, "Master Lu still praised your father?" ”

"Yes, mother." Ye Li replied, "Mr. Lu not only praised Dad, but also praised you." ”

"Really?" Ye Sunquan was interested, "Three, tell me how Master Lu praised your mother." ”

"What are you talking about?" In front of several children, Luo was a little embarrassed, "What did Master Lu say?" ”

Mr. Lu said. Ye Li and the whole family relayed Lu Tianxiang's words, "Our family is a model for Yulin Bay, and the eldest brother and second brother have made great contributions to Yulin Bay, which are all good education of my father and mother, and it is also the result of my father's example and mother." Therefore, we must all listen to our fathers and mothers, and we must honor our fathers and mothers well, so that we can have a harmonious family and make a difference. ”

"Listen, listen." Ye Sunquan took a drink proudly, "Master Lu praised us." ”

"Look at your beauty." Roche couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, "Second brother, what should you do about this marriage." ”

"Father, mother." Ye Zhan also raised his glass, "I have just been promoted to battalion commander, there are still many things to do in the army, and I still want to make contributions, so let the marriage go first, and then I am only 16." ”

"Getting married won't delay your achievements." Roche also wanted to persuade his son.

"Forget it, Daddy, Mother." Ye Yan said, "The second child has his own plans, so let him make his own decisions." ”

"That's right, three." Ye Zhan asked again, "Aren't Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu not in the school now, how did you hear what they said?" ”

"Even though they're no longer in school, they still come to us often. Oh, and there's. Ye Li remembered something again, "Mr. Xu said that our school will select some students to study in Wanzhou Academy for a period of time, and Wanzhou Academy will also send some students over, which is called, what is it called academic exchange." ”

"Really?" Ye Zhan smiled, "Then you really want to go?" ”

"Well, I want to go." Ye Li honestly replied to the second brother's words, "But Principal He said that not anyone who wants to go can go, but also take the exam and select, and only those with good grades can go." Second brother, you have been in Wanzhou, is Wanzhou Academy good, how is it better than our Yulinwan Academy? ”

"Wanzhou Academy." Ye Zhan thought about it and said, "There are not as many students over there as we do in Yulin Bay, but the level of the gentlemen over there is very high, and they have all kinds of ideas and knowledge. Your second brother and I don't read much, and I don't understand some of the things they say, but if you go, it's fine. ”

"Three, study hard and take exams well." Ye Sunquan looked at the third son, "Your eldest brother and second brother are now promising, but our family still lacks a scholar, you have to study hard, and in the future, if you are a talented person, our family will be both civil and military." ”

Ye Li suddenly raised Ye Yan's wine glass: "I know, Dad." Mr. Lu gave me this name to let me study hard, I will not let Mr. Lu down, I will win glory for my father. ”

After Ye Li finished speaking, he poured a glass of wine into his mouth at once, and as a result, he coughed and shivered.

The whole family laughed together, and Ye Yan touched his brother's head lovingly: "You, you." ”
