Chapter 423: Soldiers are coming to Zhiming City
Jeju Island is a sign of busyness at the moment, and Fang Xiaoru, who has not been seen for a long time, has a ruddy complexion, and his spirit is many times better than when the accident first happened. www.biquge.info It's a pity that Tang Ming can't stay on Jeju Island as soon as he has important things to do, and he also promised to come back to Jeju Island as soon as the matter is over, and get together with Fang Xiaoru.
The king of the ancient dynasty, Wu Fatzi, also heard that Tang Ming had come to Jeju Island, and he is now living a very nourishing life, and the maritime trade of the ancient dynasty is also doing well. After all, with Tang Ming's invincible fleet here as his coastal defense, no pirate who was not long-sighted dared to harass here, and as soon as this place was safe, business became more and more prosperous.
When he heard that Tang Ming was going to send troops to Yue Guo, this guy was very happy to stuff his only two hundred warships, including all the supporting personnel, into Tang Ming's fleet. also said beautifully, this is a favor to the good brother, what is the mind of the fat man Wu Tang Ming naturally knows.
It is nothing more than to take the opportunity to let him, a fleet that has not really fought in actual combat since its establishment, take this opportunity to train his troops. Tang Ming naturally would not refuse this small request, more people would have more strength, and besides, there was really no possibility of a naval battle on this trip to Yueguo, so it didn't matter if they followed.
In order to prevent Jianwen from absconding first when he got the news, Tang Ming only stayed on Jeju Island for one day, and immediately after organizing the fleet. Li Ba has always been worried about Zhu Yong's safety, although now that the army has advanced into the Yue Kingdom, he also knows that Jianwen is likely to kill Zhu Yong and them as soon as his whereabouts are revealed.
"Master Hou, do you think this guy Zhu Yong can survive this crisis? That guy is really, I persuaded him not to take risks personally, he didn't listen, and now he was directly held by Jianwen in his hands, and he didn't even know life and death! Li Ba accompanied Tang Ming on the deck of the bow of the ship, looking at the horizon of Yue Kingdom in the distance, although he was complaining in his mouth, but his words revealed a deep sense of worry.
It's not that enemies don't get together, Li Ba and Zhu Yong usually can't say three sentences, so they must quarrel. But this is the way they are used to getting along, the more noisy they are, the deeper their feelings become, this subtle way of getting along, ordinary outsiders can't understand it.
Fortunately, Tang Ming was not an ordinary outsider, he knew that Li Ba and Zhu Yong had a deep brotherhood, which was why he would let these two guys go to the sea to be pirates.
Seeing that Li Ba was worried about Zhu Yong's safety, Tang Ming couldn't give a definite answer, so he had to shake his head and persuade him: "Look at his creation, now we are beyond the reach of the whip." But as long as he's smart enough to survive by the time we arrive, I can guarantee that he'll be saved. ”
Li Ba clenched his fists, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and nodded viciously and stopped talking. Although Tang Ming set off for a day's time for the Ming fleet led by Zhang Yu, he made a detour to Jeju Island after all. This will be almost at the same time as Zhang Yu arrived in the waters of Yueguo, and the two huge fleets will converge at sea and rush to the coast of Yueguo together.
Under the suppression of absolute forces, the Yue Kingdom allowed Tang Ming and Zhang Yu's fleet to land smoothly without resistance. At the same time, Zhu Neng, who was leading an army of 300,000, had already traveled through the mountains and mountains of Yunnan and the ancient Yue Kingdom. In addition to the difficult road, there were also various difficulties that hindered the marching speed of the army, and it was less than five miles of mountainous land in a day, which made Zhu Neng very annoyed.
Judging from this, it is very likely that if they want to enter the territory of the Yue Kingdom, it will be ten days later. But he had no other way to think of it, but he kept urging the soldiers to speed up the march.
When a large number of Ming navies arrived in Yue, the remnants of the Chen Dynasty immediately got the news, and Zhu Yong jumped for joy after asking for the Ming banner. Without saying a word, let them send themselves to the shore where Tang Ming and they landed, Zhu Yong's unexpected appearance really surprised everyone.
But he also brought a better news to Tang Ming, and under his introduction, the remnants of the Chen Dynasty, several old men soon met Tang Ming and Zhang Yu. After learning of their intentions, Tang Ming agreed to their request with a smile. Originally, Tang Ming and Zhang Yuhai were going to explain to the king of Yue after they went ashore to explain the arrival of the Ming army, but now it seems that there is no need to explain at all, just under the banner of restoring the rule of the Chen Dynasty.
Zhang Yu didn't have any opinion on this, but he immediately sent someone back to explain the situation to Zhu Di, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Tang Ming. Because when he set off, Zhu Di had already made it clear to him that this time he would send troops to Yueguo, and everything would be subject to Tang Ming's arrangement.
Zhang Yu has no objection to this, Tang Ming is his own person, and the old guy also took the opportunity to bring some military attachés who are idle at home, so that these people can make a little credit.
For Zhang Yu's careful thinking, Tang Ming has no time to take care of it, there is no problem with what Zhang Yu likes to do, as long as he doesn't delay the matter of catching Jianwen. With the addition of these remnants of the Chen Dynasty, Tang Ming immediately ordered to start marching inland, with Zhang Yu leading the army to advance.
Tang Ming took Li Dazhui and the others and left the army and went straight to the Gaodai Sect's lair in Zhiming City. Zhu Yong and Li Ba took four hundred cavalry to act as the vanguard, Tang Ming brought four thousand personal soldiers equipped with flintlock pistols to suppress the formation for them, and Li Dazhu's three hundred elite soldiers as the assault team, guarding Tang Ming to maintain a high degree of vigilance.
At this time, Zhiming City was still guarded by officers and soldiers, and the members of the Gaodai Sect were also mobilized to defend the city together, and Tang Ming's footsteps that came in a hurry were suddenly blocked here. Without large-scale equipment and siege equipment, Tang Ming could only look at the city and sigh, calling the battle a few times, the other party did not dare to come out to meet the battle, and let Li Dazhui and them snipe with flintlock pistols had little effect.
He wanted to attack on a large scale but was afraid that his soldiers would suffer too many casualties, so in desperation, Tang Ming could only order someone to inform Zhang Yu and ask him to send a large army to break the city.
After camping, Zhu Yong hurriedly found Tang Ming and said uncertainly: "Master Hou, Jianwen is extremely cunning, and he will definitely not sit still in the city." Could it be that he has already fled to hide elsewhere, should we let Li Dazhui and them go out to find Jianwen's traces, after all, the practice of hanging himself on this tree is very unstable! ”
Tang Ming originally thought the same way, so he agreed with Zhu Yong's proposal, and after checking the map of Yue Kingdom, Tang Ming felt that Jianwen was likely to flee to some remote places. For example, some small villages or deep in the mountains and old forests, and the direction is likely to be the border with Thailand. (To be continued.) )
