Gak ~ Quack ~ Crunch ~

The hatch and the floor were so entangled that even with all his might, Wu Kai could only pull open a gap slightly—and the sharp and piercing grinding sound seemed to mock his inadequacy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wu Kai finally gave up his futile efforts, and instead pulled out a short knife with a cold glimmer from his closet, ready to perform a small 'surgery' on this door panel first.

Crunch~

At that moment, the hatch was pushed open from the outside, and the sturdy solid wood door panel was plowed into the ground with a few grooves!

"Lord!"

Yuan Lang's big face like a dough appeared outside the hatch, and he roared urgently: "The storm outside has almost passed, but some ships ...... Hey? What do you do with a knife? Could it be that someone took the opportunity to assassinate just now?! ”

As he spoke, he was ready to go in and find out.

"If someone were to stab me, I wouldn't use a knife against it."

Wu Kai threw the knife back into the closet, and ordered angrily: "Go and call a few mothers-in-law who can still move, and clean up this captain's room." ”

It is said that there are unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky, and this time Wu Kai finally experienced it personally - since Dengzhou went to sea, the sun shone brightly and the sky was clear all the way, who knew that it was not far from Goryeo, but suddenly the wind was fierce and the thunderclouds were dense, and in a blink of an eye, there were monstrous waves!

Even if Wu Kai took a flagship with a load of up to 3,000 taels, and his resistance to wind and waves far exceeded that of ordinary sea ships, he still felt the sourness of turning over the river and the sea.

He himself is not a man, but he is also a man who has been to sea several times, but since the wind and waves have risen, the wives and concubines and children who have gathered in this captain's room have vomited nine out of ten - the only one who is still calm and calm is Muneyumi, who was born in Tsushima.

A lot of vomit converged in one place, and the sour and rotten smell emitted, coupled with the cries of several children, was even more torturous than the storm outside, so he endured it until the storm stopped a little, and Wu Kai couldn't wait to find someone to come and clean it up.

Yuan Lang took the order, and soon called a few women from fishermen, and cleaned up the mess with all their hands and feet—but even if the vomit was cleaned up, the smell of this room would not be able to dissipate for a while.

So Wu Kai asked his mother-in-law to help his wife and concubines and children go back to their rooms to rest, and then led Yuan Lang out of the cabin, and asked while climbing to the deck: "How is the situation of the fleet?" Are there any losses? ”

"My lord."

Hearing his question, Yuan Lang remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said: "Just now Li Jun asked people to return, saying that less than 20% of the ships that can still be contacted at the moment, and the rest of the ships were lost in the storm just now. ”

Tut~

Sure enough, it's unpredictable!

This is still a small storm that only lasts for a few hours, and if it really encounters a strong typhoon, I am afraid that the entire fleet will be buried at the bottom of the sea, right?

When he arrived on the deck, Wu Kai found that the rain had not stopped, but the wind and waves were much lighter, and Wu Song, Han Tao, Li Jun, Luan Tingyu and others were wearing robes, patrolling around the ship in the rain, checking the damage suffered by the hull in the storm.

Seeing Wu Kai leading Yuan Lang to appear on the deck, everyone hurriedly gathered around and saluted: "Lord! "Brother." "Brother-in-law."

Before going to sea this time, Wu Kai made it clear that he would no longer be a Great Song Dynasty teacher in the future, let alone a Wukong monk, and he had not yet officially called the king and emperor, so his subordinates all compromised and called 'Lord'.

Wu Kai bowed slightly in response, then focused his attention on Li Jun, and asked in a deep voice, "Commander Li, how much do you think the loss of the fleet will be after this storm?" ”

"This ......"

Li Jun hesitated slightly, but still reported a number: "I'm afraid it won't be less than thirty percent, after all, this time it is mixed with many old fishing boats collected from Japan and Goryeo, and it is a little reluctant to sail for a long distance, and now it is ...... to encounter such a storm."

More than 30 percent?

Wouldn't two or three thousand people die at the bottom of the sea?!

Hearing this loss figure, Wu Kai was not in a good mood, and he was a little worse, looking at the sea that was still covered by the water curtain, and asked, "Then how far are we from the Goryeo Kingdom?" ”

"If nothing else, I can get to Seekaido in Goryeo in the afternoon, but ......," Li Jun said, and he was a little slurred.

"Commander Li has any concerns, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"In the opinion of my subordinates, it is best for us to take a short rest before docking, and when the fleet regathers a certain size, it is not too late to dock."

Hearing this, Wu Kai probably knew what he was afraid of, and couldn't help frowning: "Why, the attitude of the Goryeo Kingdom towards the Song people has been so bad?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, since the news that the Jin people were going to attack the Song State reached Goryeo, the Goryeo army and people have intensified......"

If you want to say that the whole country of Goryeo, it is really engraved into the bones the words "bullying the soft and fearing the hard", thinking that when the Great Song Dynasty was not in decline, they were like guests to the Song people, and even specially invited Wu Kai, the Great Song National Teacher, to come forward and preside over the funeral of the old king and the enthronement of the new king.

However, in the past two years, the power of the Great Song Dynasty has become weaker and weaker, and the Goryeo people have immediately changed their faces, and their attitude has changed from looking up to looking down, and recently they have even begun to discriminate against the Song people, often extorting and extorting the Song merchant ships that come and go, and even dare to kill people and cross the goods once they encounter the resistance of the shipowner!

In the past month or two, even the immigration ships of the Red Turban Army have been harassed by the Koreans, which has made Lin Dengwan and others very angry, but for a time they have not been able to mobilize people to retaliate, so they have to swallow their anger for the time being and try to minimize their contacts with the Goryeo Kingdom.

If the fleet still maintains the scale when it went to sea, it is natural that the Koreans are not afraid of any crooked ideas, but now in such a situation, it is necessary to guard against it.

In order to be safe, Wu Kai finally agreed to Li Jun's suggestion, but he inevitably had some anger in his heart - he went to sea this time, but with full of pride and ambition, it was just a storm, after all, it was a natural disaster, and manpower could not avoid it, but what is this Goryeo country, it even forced him to 'retreat'.

It seems that it is time to put the plan of attacking Goryeo on the agenda!

The reason why Lin Dengwan and others were helpless was that they didn't expect to use razing to defeat them, anyway, Goryeo was not the Great Song Dynasty, and Wu Kai didn't have to worry about any reputation, popular sentiment and other issues, so he directly requisitioned tens of thousands of Japanese people to be cannon fodder, and then attached to a part of the Han army that used firearms, even if he couldn't level Goryeo and lay down a part of the land, it would not be a problem to fight against Goryeo.

At that time, it is just right to let the Japanese Imperial Army maintain the law and order of Goryeo, and then let the Goryeo Servant Army assist in governing Japan, which not only saves manpower and material resources, but also can put the black pot on their heads when necessary, which is simply suitable.
