Chapter 150: The Battle (Subscription Requested)
On November 22, the closer the fleet was to Tamna (Jeju Island), the smaller the encirclement was, and the closer the ships were to each other.
Just when Zhu Zhanji and his army were stationed on the sea 50 kilometers off the south coast of Jeju Island, the second piece of information was sent over.
According to Zhu Zhanji's request, intelligence needs to be transmitted once a day, but this information was delayed on the road for two days, exposing the deficiencies of the naval intelligence department in transmitting information.
Today, the Japanese army is still reveling in the county guard of Tamna (Jeju City), because of the limited power of the island, the Japanese army has no trouble occupying the natural deep-water harbor of the Tamna gun guard.
Most of the people on the island fled to the mountainous or hilly terrain in the middle under the unified arrangement of the government.
The people of Jeju Island are poor, and there is absolutely no oil and water in the interior, so the Japanese only occupy the port and do not have the idea of occupying the entire island.
The Japanese had limited manpower, and only used this place as a staging area, rather than going into the mountains to pursue, and lost manpower for the sake of little oil and water.
Jeju Island is surrounded by the sea and covers an area of nearly 2,000 square kilometers, and it is far from being occupied by a few thousand pirates.
They plundered a lot of girls in Korea, and at this time they only cared about spending all their time drinking. Even the few remaining people on the island, they did not do any harm, because the Japanese know the truth of fishing with all their might.
Jeju Island is a not-so-fertile farmland for them, and they can harvest something every year. If you kill all the people, you won't be able to grab anything in the future.
It was because Fan Dahong learned about these situations that he did not escape at the first time in the Haiwo Kou'an. Instead, after recognizing Guo Chong, who contacted him, he offered a concubine he bought from North Korea to Jingji to hold a post.
For this, he also received a commendation from the Kyogoku Shogun, rewarding him with half a wild boar.
After obtaining clues from Guo Chong, he passed on the information in its entirety to several other colleagues who were hiding not far from where they lived.
All this went unnoticed by the Japanese Kou. Even if they had a few defense ships, they were only defending the side facing North Korea.
In their past mode of thinking, Da Ming will only fight back if they provoke it, and now they haven't gone to Da Ming, so they don't guard against the opponent from Da Ming at all.
There is no such thing as secrecy in large-scale military operations. In this era, limited by the backwardness of communication methods, the transmission of information is often slower than that of military operations.
Therefore, except for the spies during military operations, there is no special spy training at all.
Especially in this kind of military operation at sea, the transmission of information is even more difficult. Across the vast sea, who would have thought of setting up spies on an island? And how do spies deliver information?
Twenty miles from the county guard's house, there was a beach on the beach, the depth of the water was less than two meters, and there was a dense jungle on the shore, even the Japanese did not pay attention to it.
But a pointed, flat-bottomed herald ship belonging to the Navy's Fine Crafts Division, with its sails full, has been parked here.
If it weren't for the two heavy anchors firmly grasping the silt on the bottom of the sea, the ship could have sailed away at any moment.
Two horsemen galloping on ponies blew their whistles on the shore, and in a few moments a small boat was lowered from the herald and rowed to their side.
The boat slowly leaned against the shore, and the two sides exchanged a few words quickly, and then the two small works quickly disappeared into the grass.
After receiving the boat, the herald ship quickly lifted anchor, and then quickly disappeared into the vast sea.
By this time, it was already dark, and after moving away from Jeju Island, two red lanterns were lit on the ship.
Relying on the bright starlight positioning of the North Star, although the people on the ship could not see the sea clearly, they were able to never deviate from the correct course.
About two hours later, on the vast sea, they saw two red lanterns, and the people on the clipper could easily distinguish between the lanterns and not the starlight, and soon the two ships approached.
Charts of the positioning routes tied to a long bamboo pole were exchanged with each other, and the two ships quickly passed by in the night, and the lanterns on the ships were quickly extinguished.
In order to open a 200-kilometer transmission route over the sea, the navy had to use four herald ships and more than 120 navies to fly back and forth on this route.
This is only the transmission channel, not counting the inner and reverse rooms arranged on Jeju Island.
Although the cost is not small, it is nothing compared to the huge cost of hundreds of warships.
In addition, Zhu Zhanji is the grandson, and Liu Jiang can be regarded as his single-handed, so his arrangement has not been opposed.
Moreover, in order to open up this information channel, it is also necessary to cooperate with Jinyiwei and the navy. So unless it is the identity of his grandson, this information channel cannot be arranged by others at all.
And this arrangement is not limited to Jeju Island, in Korea, Dongying, in the Ryukyus, and in the South Seas, Jinyiwei has arranged a spy team of more than 1,000 people.
With new positioning information obtained, the herald ship quickly adjusted its course and turned west to the south.
After another two hours, they finally saw the bright lights that stretched for dozens of kilometers in the vast night, like starlight in the sky.
The lights are brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the sky, and people can't help but feel a sense of wanting to worship.
This is the majestic and majestic Ming Navy, which is the most powerful maritime force in this era.
Anyone who sees this scene will be sincerely proud and proud of being a Ming person.
"Your Highness, the third piece of information has also been delivered, and the reason for the delay of the second piece of information has also been investigated, because the small ship used the sextant to test the positioning error during the summons, and traveled west to the coast of Jiaodong, only to find out that the return sent the information to a new receiving location. How to deal with it, please let Your Highness decide. ”
"If you delay the military situation, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime. Each of the thirty sergeants received ten rods, a total of fifteen rods, and twenty rods for the internal supervisor of the sixth. However, knowing that the military situation was delayed, he did not make mistakes, and traveled nearly 800 miles in a day and night. ”
Those who are guilty will be punished, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and no one will accept Zhu Zhanji's punishment and reward.
Although it was already the second half of the night, the leader of the fleet hardly slept. They are in the sea less than 50 kilometers away from Jeju Island, and Zhu Zhanji will be able to surround the Japanese in Jeju City tomorrow with an order.
However, the army could not do this, because it would be more difficult for the Japanese to capture them if they fled to the interior of Jeju Island.
This time, nearly 800 large and small ships and nearly 100,000 combat personnel were dispatched, and a one-day delay would mean more consumption.
Therefore, if you fight, it is better to strike with a thunderbolt so that the pirates have nowhere to escape.
The intelligence went around between Zhu Zhanji and Zheng and their generals, and then returned to Zhu Zhanji's hands. Only then did he ask Zheng He: "Of all of you here, only General Zheng and Commander Tang have participated in the battle of Ceylon, and they are similar to today's situation, I don't know what the two of you have planned?" ”
Zheng He said with a smile: "In the battle of Ceylon, Alekunar is the king of a country, occupying a favorable place and people. And the Japanese are just magpie's nest doves, they have no foundation on the island, and this battle will definitely be captured. ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a smile: "Zheng Zongbing, please don't sell Guanzi, Zhanji has always been a teacher." ”
Zheng He is a smart man, as an adjutant, he is afraid that his performance will be too good and cause Zhu Zhanji's dislike, so he wants to wait for Zhu Zhanji to express his position first, and then fill in the gaps.
But Zhu Zhanji is not a person with a small belly, as long as Zheng He's strategy is good, he will definitely agree without discount.
When Zheng He saw Zhu Zhanji say this, he could only smile and say: "The minister thinks that our army should be attacked from two sides before it can make a contribution in one fell swoop." Commander Tang, at the beginning of the battle of Ceylon, you were the vanguard, drove straight in, and captured the relatives of Yalie Kunaer, can you have a plan for this arrangement? ”
He turned the topic to Tang Jing, the identity gap between Tang Jing and Zhu Zhanji was too big, so there was no Zheng He's concerns. Facing Zhu Zhanji, he replied loudly: "Your Highness only needs to give the minister 3,000 old departments, and the minister must lead the crowd to block the back road of the Japanese and not let anyone escape." ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "The Japanese have gathered nearly 10,000 people this time, although only Sanyi can be called a warrior, but nearly 3,000 warriors plus five or six thousand followers, we still have to beware of the other party's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. I will send 10,000 soldiers to you, and another 3,000 battalions of Lin Wei Shenji, all of whom will be under your control. However, I want you to set up an attack formation one day and one night, and launch an attack at noon tomorrow, and do not let the Japanese army escape into the mountains, otherwise military law will deal with it. ”
"Command!"
Zhu Zhanji said to Zheng He: "General Zheng is the head of the generals of the world. This time, the troops were arranged, and I also hoped that Mr. Zheng would teach him. ”
Zheng He hurriedly said: "The ministers don't dare. He is a retainer of His Royal Highness, and he should assist His Highness wholeheartedly. ”
Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Zheng He listens to the order!" ”
Zheng He knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "And here!" ”
"Except for the landing sergeants, the rest of the three armies of the Marine Division are under your control, set up camp and deploy troops, and everything is according to your orders!"
"And the Order!"
Only then did Zhu Zhanji face the other generals of the navy, took out a special naval commander's seal and said: "In today's battle, the chief eunuch of the inner palace is authorized by Lonely, and His Majesty personally appoints Zheng He, the chief soldier of the naval division, as the commander, can the generals have any objections?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said this, even if others are unwilling to be restrained by Zheng He, they don't dare to have the slightest opinion at this time!
What's more, Yi Xin, the chief soldier of the Second Fleet, is not famous, and Zhu Zhen, the chief soldier of the Third Fleet, has been Zheng He's deputy for a long time, and neither of them has an opinion, and the others dare not have it.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji personally helped Zheng He up, and gave him up to his position and said: "This battle can only succeed, not lose." The self and below are all controlled by Zheng He. Military orders are like mountains, and those who violate them will be beheaded. ”
All the generals knelt down on one knee and replied loudly: "Yes! ”
