Chapter 60: The Demons of the Wa People
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn.
Especially General LΓΌ and Wen Huanzhang, because since last year, the Liangshan Army has frequently conducted maritime trade with Liao, Goryeo, and Wa.
In particular, the Wa Kingdom is simply stupid and has a lot of money, and they like all kinds of goods of Liang Shanjun, whether it is daily necessities such as soap and toothpaste, canned food, cooked food such as spiced sauce and meat, or silk, porcelain, tea, etc.
Therefore, Liang Shanjun made the most money from the Wa Kingdom, and had the closest contact with the Wa people, and even Hu Cheng was invited to the so-called Kyoto of the Wa Kingdom to meet their Emperor Shirakawa (the emperor's grandfather).
Therefore, through Hu Cheng's narration, the two of them also have some understanding of the situation of the Wa Kingdom, it is said that the terrain there is mountainous, and the people are fierce, don't look at those Wa people are almost all five short figures, but they are extremely fierce and brave.
If the Liangshan army rashly launched a full-scale war against the Japanese state, it would inevitably pay a very heavy price.
And it is not as good as attacking Goryeo, mainly along the coastline route in the Bohai Sea, which is not only relatively safe, but also less turbulent in wind and waves, and the seasickness reaction of the soldiers is not too great.
However, if you attack the Japanese state, you will have to sail in the open sea, and neither the voyage nor the size of the wind and waves will be the same, and the risk is too great.
However, since the Wa State attacked first, with the character of the Liangshan Army, it had to fight back immediately, at least to make the Wa State kneel and beg to surrender.
It's a real headache!
The two of them unconsciously set their eyes on Lin Chong again, thinking in their hearts that in the face of such a predicament, they wondered if their brother (the military master) already had a good way to deal with it.
Lin Chong suddenly noticed everyone's inquiring eyes, and he also smiled bitterly in his heart.
This is the after-effect of revealing too many "miracles".
For example, when Goryeo was first attacked, the high-level officials and many generals of Liangshan were also worried, thinking that Goryeo had even repelled the 400,000 troops of the Liao State, how could the Liangshan army defeat Goryeo so easily?
Unexpectedly, the military lord carefully analyzed, and then formulated a grand strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and attacking the city as the attack, and the battle situation in Goryeo was really the same as the military lord expected, and it was quickly defeated.
And because of Du Bai, Zhu Wu's outstanding performance, and the help of Gong Bo's uncle and nephew who came out halfway, the battle situation in Goryeo was even smoother than expected.
But everyone present knew that the biggest credit for this was still Lord Lin, if it weren't for his insight into everything, formulating the most correct strategy in advance, and strengthening everyone's confidence, everyone wouldn't even dare to take the initiative to fight Goryeo.
However, Lin Chong didn't want them to rely too much on him, so he arranged for Ruan Xiaowu, who stayed in Liangshanbo, and Zhang Shun, who was stationed in Goryeo, to go to Tamna Island to replace Ruan Xiaoer, and then let Xiao Jiasui replace Gao Yu, and sent Wang Yin, Guan Sheng, Shan Shiqi, and Niu Gao to lead the army to Tamna Island.
After that, Lin Chong nodded and said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wen, I have been away from Liangshanbo for a long time, and I don't know enough about many things.
First, didn't this Japanese take the wrong medicine, why did he come to beat me Tamluo Island for no reason and offend my Liangshan Army? Second, how should we deal with the current act? β
The two glanced at each other, in fact, it was already clear from Lin Chong's arrangement just now that Lin Chong was determined to fight the Japanese state.
After thinking about it for a while, in the end, it was Wen Huanzhang, who was older in the grade, who took the lead in speaking: "I'll analyze the first question." According to the news from Tamna Island, although we have captured more than 500 Japanese prisoners, all of them are low-level sergeants and lower-level officers, and they only confess that they were ordered to come and seize the warships of the Yangsan Army, and we have not obtained any other useful information.
At present, it is not possible to determine the real reason for this. But in my opinion, nine times out of ten, it has something to do with the Goryeo affair. Shortly before the Japanese invasion of Tamna Island, the battle situation on the Goryeo side was decided, and our Yangsan Army successfully took Gyeongju City from the hands of the Heavenly Loyal Rebels and liberated the entire peninsula.
But Gong Bo and Gong Fu disappeared, and along with them, there were more than 1,000 elites of the loyal rebels, as well as countless gold, silver and jewelry.
At that time, General Du Yi judged that these two careerists must have gone to the Wa Kingdom to take refuge, but at that time, our Liangshan Expeditionary Force was busy pacifying various parts of Goryeo and resettling the Liaodi Han people transported from Jinzhou, so they did not take this matter to heart.
Who knew that not long after, the Wa Kingdom blatantly made a move on my Tamluo Island, and the connection between this can be imagined, and the nine achievements were brought by Gong Bo and Gong Fu. It's just that why the Japanese people are so obedient, and they don't hesitate to be enemies of our Liangshan army, and what Uncle Gong Bo's nephew said to the Japanese people, these are unknown. β
After saying this, everyone present nodded yes, and they all had a sense of the same as the hero, and they were about to start a discussion about it, and when they scolded these two careerists for fearing that the world would not be chaotic, they saw Lin Chong wave his hand and said: "What Mr. Wen said is reasonable, but if this is the case, maybe I know the reason." β
"Why?" Lu Jiang asked curiously.
Lin Chong smiled and said, "You haven't been to the Wa Kingdom, so you don't know the situation there, but I happen to know some." It is said that the broken islands of the Wa Kingdom may be the reason for the curse (in fact, it is in the Pacific Earthquake Zone), in short, earthquakes often occur, which is commonly known as the turning of the earth dragon, and volcanic eruptions.
We have a rare time to see the earth dragon turn over here for almost ten years and decades, but the big earth dragon here has it almost every year, at least once every two years; And the small earth dragon turns over, almost every day.
In addition to these, there are often tsunamis, strong winds and waves in the coastal area, in short, natural disasters. In addition, more than 70% of the island is mountainous, and there is very little flat land, so there is not so much arable land to support such a population.
For more than 1,000 years, the Japanese people on the islands have wanted to escape from those islands even if they dreamed. And the first thing they took a fancy to was the Andong Protectorate in China, which was the land of Goryeo before.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people coveted this land and fought a big battle with the Tang Dynasty army at the mouth of the Baijiang River, but the Tang army won more with less, and the 40,000 Japanese army was almost wiped out, and there was no power to fight back.
After that, these Japanese people immediately became honest and began to worship the Tang Dynasty madly, and constantly wanted the Tang Dynasty to send envoys to learn the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty. However, after Zhao Song inherited the Tang Dynasty, although the Wa Kingdom did not dare to be disrespectful to Zhao Song, it looked down on Zhao Song people in their hearts. Presumably, some people look down on me Liang Shanjun because of this.
And in the same way that the extreme inferiority of the small country and widows of the Korean people finally turned into extreme arrogance, the arrogance of the Japanese people is also to the extreme, perhaps because they feel that they have learned from the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and they are already very powerful.
They may not be able to defeat the behemoth of the Zhao and Song courts, but in their eyes, my Liangshan army is estimated to be a group of bandits, and these Japanese people are naturally not afraid. At this time, Gong Bo and Gong Fu instigated again, perhaps the Japanese people thought that they could take this opportunity to occupy our Andong Protectorate, so they decisively sent troops to attack Tamna Island first to rob our advanced warships, and then landed from the south of the peninsula to capture the entire peninsula. β
When everyone heard that the dwarf of the Japanese kingdom had such ambitions and despised my Liangshan army so much, they couldn't help but be furious.
"The Japanese people are so ambitious, and they covet other people's land when disasters happen frequently, so shameless!"
"The Wa Kingdom despises my Liangshan Army so much, we must let them suffer a little!"
"Brother (military master), let's fight, let this guy know the fate of being the enemy of my Liangshan army!"
