Receiving Chao Gai's order, Tianya Inn and the Intelligence Department both began to act, Tianya Inn was in the open, and the Intelligence Department was in the dark, and the two sides each sent capable people south to Suzhou and Hangzhou, mainly Suzhou and Hangzhou, which were the most serious places in Huashigang, to visit the people, investigate intelligence, and prepare in advance to recruit displaced people in Jiangnan. Let's not talk about these things, just talk about Chao Gai's deployment in New Jeju.

New Jeju Island is too close to Goryeo, and the biggest threat is also from Goryeo, although the Goryeo navy has lost most of it, but it still has combat effectiveness, not to mention that the Goryeo people can transport people and horses in fishing boats at such a close distance. Therefore, the naval army combat was put in the first place, Ruan Xiaoqi and Xu Guanzhong two naval teams were separated, and the naval army led by Ruan Xiaoqi built a small military port near the Tamna port, called Tamna Port. The port has 150 sailors, three eagle warships, three centipede warships, and a number of small fishing boats and cargo ships. Due to the small number of personnel, there were no forts on either side of the port, only two tall lighthouses, which not only served the purpose of night navigation, but also the role of daytime observation and lookout. The main battle was mainly the Flying Eagle warship, which was equipped with a long-range and powerful Tiger Squat Cannon, and the Centipede Ship was equipped with a Lying Ox Cannon and a repeating giant crossbow.

Chao Gai came to Tamna Harbor on the Flying Eagle No. 1, and the centipede ship patrolling far away found it and sent a signal to lead the Flying Eagle No. 1 into the military port. Ruan Xiaoqi was very happy and came to the port to greet Chao Gai: "Why is my brother here, has the matter of Tuntian been dealt with?" ”

Chao Gai said: "Where is the matter of five or six hundred thousand land tuntian so easy to deal with, I have set the general direction, let Gongsun Sheng and Xiao Rang handle the specific things, I just came over today when I was free, the situation here is okay." ”

"There are too few people, just such a few people, there can only be one centipede ship and one flying eagle ship on duty each time, and the manpower is a little thin, but fortunately we have cannons, otherwise it is really a bit mysterious, after all, the number of people is too small." Ruan Xiaoqi said, "At this stage, the Korean people are very afraid of our cannons, and this fear may slowly subside after a long time.

"There is a lot of civil strife in Goryeo, and I won't fight this idea anytime soon. The three Goryeo generals were training their troops to fight against the king of Goryeo, not to mention that the Goryeo people did not pay much attention to the island. It is not so easy for the navy to expand, we have to recruit slowly, and we still have too few troops along the coast. Chao Gai said.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It is precisely this reason, the navy is not infantry, and it is not so easy to recruit. Fishermen from Dengzhou and Yizhou can be recruited, and it is relatively easy to train. ”

"Although it is not easy to recruit soldiers, fishermen are still easy to recruit, and the navy has no time to fish during daily training. Chao Gai said.

In Shuibo Liangshan, the relationship between the fishermen and the Yuncheng regiment training water army is very good, which can be described as a deep love between fish and water. However, the foundation of the Tamna people on New Jeju Island is still very weak, and the Tamna fishermen may not be so obedient.

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I know how to do it." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Chao Gai also inspected the weapons and equipment on the warship, such as tiger squat cannons, lying cow cannons, and repeating giant crossbows, all kinds of weapons were well maintained, and the soldiers were in good physical condition.

Chao Gai asked: "Xiao Qi, tell me how these three weapons are equipped in training and actual combat." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "The Tiger Squat Cannon has a long range, great power, but the accuracy is poor, and the number of our assembly is not too much, the main role is to deter, and the psychological pressure on the enemy ship is very great, for example, in the process of the last battle with the Goryeo Naval Army, the Goryeo Naval Army was afraid when it saw that the Tiger Squat Cannon had such a long range, and hurriedly fled. The Lying Bull Cannon is the main weapon for killing and injuring sailors and soldiers, once the ships of both sides are close to a distance of about 200 meters in the battle, a single shot can be fired over, and the soldiers on the deck of the basic enemy ship can fall down a dozen people, although there are few killed, but many are wounded. As for the repeating crossbow, it has a long range when it is fired alone, and its main purpose is to set fire to the enemy's sails and make the enemy lose power. Close-range bursts of fire have the same effect as the Lying Bull Cannon, mainly killing and injuring enemy soldiers. ”

"Xiao Qi has made rapid progress, I've been worried that a few of you can't adapt to the concept of long-range combat of warships, I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly, practice hard, there will be bigger warships in the future, and then it will be called battleships, and at the same time will make artillery with a larger caliber and a longer range, by that time we will conquer the entire ocean, and wherever there is seawater, it will be the world of our navy." Chao Gai said.

Ruan Xiaoqi sighed: "I believe that this day will not be too far away." ”

The naval army led by Ruan Xiaoqi has a heavy task, and in addition to training and watching the Tamna people, they also have to send two warships to escort the caravan. Recently, Hu Cheng has been very busy, and a large number of Korean ginseng trafficked back from Korea are all white radish prices, and the purchase price is extremely low, but the price of this thing has risen by at least a hundred times when it is trafficked back to the Central Plains, and the huge profits of the maritime merchants lie in this. Goryeo was poor, and there were many working women on New Jeju Island, so Chao Gai arranged for strict identification of manpower, and only accepted unmarried young women over the age of 15 and under the age of 20. In just one month, from the initial 3,000 people to the current 10,000. The population of New Jeju Island has skyrocketed, and Chao Gai immediately said that he would not be able to use manpower. However, at this time, Wang Shoucheng also earned enough funds, and he got six or seven thousand knives, spears, and shields, which were enough to raise troops.

In the south of Goryeo, the city of Wang Shoucheng, the hall is brightly lit, and Wang Shoucheng is full of spring light, sitting in the center. Next to him are Wang Shoucheng's generals, and there are dozens of people.

Wang Shoucheng said: "Now that we have recruited 8,000 strong men and are training day and night, I believe that Wang Sanpang can no longer sit still." ”

The military advisor next to him said: "With soldiers and weapons, we already have a great advantage, but it is not enough, we still need the support of public opinion." ”

Wang Shoucheng really hadn't played this yet, and immediately asked: "What is public opinion support?" ”

"It's very simple, there are two points, the first is that the position of the king of Goryeo is not in the right way, the position that was snatched is not good, the character is not good, and the heroes and old ministers are killed indiscriminately. The second is to say that the general's cavalry was ordered by the previous king, and we must announce it to the whole country to set the record straight. The military advisor said.

Wang Shoucheng was a little embarrassed, and said, "But we didn't have the king's last order." ”

"The general said there was, and there would be."

Wang Shoucheng's head was not an elm pimple, so he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Haha, we have the last order of the king, and we will announce it to the whole country tomorrow." ”

"Yes, yes." The crowd is reunited.

The group muttered for a while, and discussed it until the middle of the night, originally planning to support another king of Goryeo and then hold him hostage. But then I thought about it, so I immediately tore off the disguise and directly said that the first king said that the descendants were not virtuous, and he wanted to pass the throne to Wang Shoucheng, and Wang Shoucheng was ordered to raise troops to regain the throne. In fact, this thing is just a fig leaf, mainly speaking militarily.

Sure enough, as soon as the edict came out of southern Goryeo, it was boiling, and everyone suddenly realized that the throne that Wang Shoucheng deserved was snatched away, and this was repaid, and immediately many large families expressed their willingness to support Wang Shoucheng, and they donated generously, donating food, money, etc. Wang Shoucheng also made a generous statement, made a wish, and promised that as long as he became the king of Goryeo, everyone would be rewarded.

was busy with this matter, and suddenly the herald had something to report, and Wang Shoucheng hurriedly returned home.

"Something."

"The 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry led by Urging Ying are already less than one hundred and fifty miles of our front defense line." The herald said.

A small place in Goryeo, one hundred and fifty miles is considered a long way away.

"Are we done with the fortifications we have built?" Wang Shoucheng asked eagerly.

The military advisor next to him said: "The fortifications have been completed, and now our recruits have just been recruited and are not suitable for field warfare, but it is still no problem to defend the fortifications." The kid who urged Ying is a good person, bragging is okay, don't look at the menacing cavalry, but when he encounters fortifications that can't be attacked for a long time, people eat horses and feed, and they can drag down their grain and grass. When the time comes, we only need to send troops to cut off their food routes and win. ”

Sure enough, three days later, he arrived at the first pass of Wang Shoucheng, called Hanfang City, which was a very small city with only 20,000 or 30,000 settled residents, and it is said that the Han Dynasty sent people to build it during the Han Dynasty. This place is the size of a town at best, but the city wall is reinforced, there is a five-meter-high wall, and it is not possible for so many people recruited by Wang Shoucheng to fight, but the fortifications are still very good. The soldiers dug many trenches outside the city, and buried them like hedgehogs.

If you don't fight, you will stick to it, which will have a great impact on morale, Wang Shoucheng will raise 500 elite soldiers, and urge Ying to play outside the city, and the two sides will fight. Wang Shoucheng rode on a horse, holding a big knife in his hand, and a brand new brass armor was very dazzling, which was given by Hu Cheng as a friendly gift.

"Urging Ying'er, why did you bring troops to me, what are you going to do." Wang Shoucheng asked.

Qi Ying said angrily: "The whole world is not the king's land, the whole Goryeo belongs to the king of Goryeo, where is your place." ”

"Hmph, I think you are a talent, it's better to follow me, I will definitely reuse you in the future."

The two sides had an unnutritious dialogue, and urging Ying was not to be surrendered by Wang Shoucheng. Immediately, the two sides began to fight, don't look at the strength of the generals on Wang Shoucheng's side, there is no way to compare with the people under Chao Gai, but the generals are still higher than those who urge Ying. Four of the five battles were won, and morale was greatly boosted. Urging Ying Ke to catch fire, he immediately waved the flag, and the whole army covered up.

"Kill. Kill. "The shouts of killing shook the sky. The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was behind.

Wang Shoucheng said: "Go back and rely on the fortifications to hold on." ”

The five hundred elite soldiers were all well trained, and the retreat was very steady. Before the soldiers led by Urging Ying arrived at the trench to refuse the horse, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.
