His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire had not yet prepared a decree to reward the soldiers of the Korean Peninsula, and another thing that made Zhu Mu depressed happened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time that Japan was driven out of the Korean Peninsula, the British Navy's fleet of four battleships and four cruisers crossed the Strait of Malacca in advance to join the Ceylon detachment that had come to meet them.

This news was deliberately released by the Ceylon side as radio news, in order to put pressure on the military operations of the Ming Empire in the southeast peninsula.

Obviously, this goal has been achieved -- Wang Jue is anxiously dealing with it at this moment, hoping to offset the adverse effects of the British fleet joining the war zone.

"Chu He is going to have a hard time this time." Wang Jue looked at the news in his hand with a headache, and was a little helpless about the current situation.

As an army general, he really can't help the navy share the pressure. He also can't command the navy to fight, after all, the difference between the army and the navy is too great.

Wang Jue doesn't understand the tides and currents, and he doesn't understand the formation of the fleet, even if he wants to go to the navy to help, it is estimated that the navy will not look down on him as an admiral.

Besides, the old general in charge of the navy is Chu He, who is as immobile as a mountain, and it is really not Wang Jue's turn to point fingers.

"Isn't it? It was also difficult for the old general Chu to deal with it...... This year, they are all over 60 years......" Wang Yan stood behind Wang Jue and echoed.

Wang Jue in front glanced at Wang Yan and said helplessly: "Once Chu and He can't withstand the pressure of the British and Ceylon fleets, our flanks will be exposed, and at that time, your group army on the coastal line will be suppressed." ”

"So you let my troops move to the middle, leaving the coastline to your own garrison?" Wang Yan looked at Wang Jue, who could be said to be half of his teacher, and asked.

Hearing this question, Wang Jue didn't hide it: "I don't worry about leaving you in a disadvantaged area, I'm afraid that Miao Shengye will use the navy to counterattack along the coast, so I decided to wait for him here in person!" ”

There was one thing he didn't explain, he was afraid that Wang Yan would encounter a situation against Miao Shengye in a disadvantageous situation in the first battle, and he would not be able to deal with it alone.

"I can handle it! Commander! I think the 4th Army, which I trained single-handedly, is also up to the task! Wang Yan frowned and said to Wang Jue.

Smiling, Wang Jue heard what his subordinates said, stretched out his palm with relief, and patted the other party's shoulder: "I believe, but I want to create an opportunity for you, a chance to be promoted and make a fortune with the old general Sima Mingwei." ”

As he spoke, he withdrew his palm: "I am already a general at a young age, and the position of marshal cannot be given to me easily, this is a certainty." ”

In the military reform of the Emperor Apocalypse, the lord of the Ming Empire, marshal and generalissimo are the highest military ranks. The difference is that the marshal is the highest reward for the front-line combat generals who lead the troops and command, while the generalissimo is almost a knighthood, which basically means "going home to retire".

Therefore, at Wang Jue's current age, General Feng is already a kind of favor reward that has been criticized a lot, and it is a bit too much to give another marshal.

One of the most taboo things for the emperor is a situation where there is no reward - when he is unable to exercise his power of reward and punishment, it is a very dangerous time.

This is the main reason why Wang Jue gave him the rank of general after seizing Liaodong, but let him stay at home for a year......

"Following me has already slowed down your promotion, and if I don't give you a chance this time, I'll blame myself." Wang Jue looked at Wang Yan in front of him and said.

Seeing that the other party wanted to explain something, Wang Jue stretched out his palm and stopped the other party from speaking: "I know you don't mind, but I mind!" Go, go and bring back the honor that belongs to you! ”

"Commander! Wait until I win in the middle of the road! Wang Yan knew that Wang Jue's judgment could not be changed, and there was no need for him to disobey Wang Jue when he was profitable.

So he stood up and saluted, pressed his fist to his chest, and promised: "You wait for my news!" ”

After finishing speaking, he walked out of Wang Jue's headquarters, and at this time Wang Jue sighed, and cast his eyes on the map in the distance, on the vast sea: "This time, it's not easy to fight." ”

Miao Shengye saw Wang Jue's eagerness for a decisive battle, and as a result, he would rather be beaten passively everywhere than invest in reserves to fight to the death with the army of the Ming Empire.

Ceylon made it clear that it was going to be consumed, and although it was not advantageous for a while, it was a very advantageous option strategically. The other party was not fooled, so Wang Jue could only advance slowly in the mountains, consuming a lot of valuable time.

But war is so helpless, it doesn't mean that the other side will make the same choice what kind of situation you want. In the process of testing each other, in most cases, everyone plays at their own pace and tries not to make mistakes......

It is indeed difficult to fight, at this moment on the vast sea, Chu He is on the bridge of his flagship, with his hands behind his back, and the wrinkles on his face are crawling all over his face like a spider's web.

"8 more battleships in one go...... This is not a joke......" Behind Chu He, the adjutant opened his mouth and complained: "When the army was evenly matched before, the army fought too slowly. ”

"Yes! The British all hit the doorstep, and it was only as a result that they hit near Vientiane...... How do we support that? The chief of staff also sighed, complaining about the slow progress of the army on the southeastern peninsula.

"Shut up!" Chu He finally spoke, but he scolded his two subordinates. Still with his hands behind his back, he stood behind the thick window on the bridge, looking out at the sea in the distance and his own warships beyond.

"Wang Jue's little ghost...... It's been played well. I have to say that this young man found by His Majesty is indeed demonic, and he is even more terrible than I think. Chu He gave his evaluation of Wang Jue.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at his men, "What? Think I'm wrong? Commanding so many troops, without the slightest confusion, is already a general's talent, am I wrong in what I said? ”

Without waiting for his subordinates to speak, he continued: "To be able to attack to this extent, and still fight with Miao Shengye without falling behind, this is already a genius!" You ask yourself, who can do it? ”

"If you can't figure it out again, compare it with when Ge Shangshu was there, and then look at the current ......" Chu He finally said: "If you have the kung fu to complain, it's better to think about it, how to face this twice as many enemies!" ”
