"Okay then, I'll write a letter to General Xiang Yu to send troops to support."

Li Rusong thought for a while and said.

Just then, a pro-soldier ran in.

"Two adults, a large fleet has appeared not far from the docks, and those people look like pirates."

Hearing this, Li Rusong and Chen Lan were shocked.

"Who are they? How many boats are there? ”

Chen Lan hurriedly asked.

"Under the banner of Lee, they have more than 200 large and small ships, and the number is estimated to be at least a few thousand."

Hearing this, Li Rusong and Chen Luan's faces were extremely difficult to see.

Looks like we might have to fight a tough battle today.

"Quick, let's take a look."

After speaking, Li Rusong led his troops to rush out first, and soon thousands of cavalry and a large number of infantry troops rushed out of the military fort.

These cavalrymen are all family members who follow Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, and they are all real good hands.

Back then, they fought the Mongols, but they all used one as ten, so that the Mongols fled when they saw the banner of the Li family.

Soon they arrived at the pier on Jeju Island, where more than a dozen Western warships of the Ming army had all left the port and began to confront hundreds of ships not far away.

But they didn't exchange fire, because the ships were flying white flags.

"What's going on?"

Li Rusong couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Qiqi, those lucky ships are the ships of Li Dan of the Japanese Kingdom, and they have come to surrender this time."

A military attache said with some delight.

"Li Dan? Surrender? ”

Hearing this, Li Rusong and Chen Lan couldn't help but look at each other.

Li Dan's reputation was heard even by them, and the most powerful armed merchant shipowner in the whole of East Asia, or more accurately, the pirate leader, had more than 10,000 people under his command.

Even the Dutchman or the Spaniard would have conceded three points to him.

"Why did he come to surrender?"

Li Rusong asked curiously.

"It may be related to the recent exclusion of our businessmen by the Japanese state."

Chen Lan said with a calm face.

Li Rusong thinks about it, it is also possible. So he asked people to raise the banner and let Li Dan send someone to negotiate.

Soon a small boat came ashore, and several big men stepped out of the boat.

The leader of them was shirtless and carrying wattles.

"Sinner Li Dan has seen two adults."

After seeing Li Rusong and Chen Luan, Li Dan took those people to bow down.

Li Rusong snorted coldly, and then said, "You get up." ”

Li Rusong was born in the gate. He is a capable person, and his father is too powerful, so he has developed a rather arrogant character.

For those officials of the Ming Dynasty, they all looked down on them, let alone just a pirate leader.

Li Dan felt Li Rusong's unkindness, which made his heart sink, so he hurriedly said: "Sinners don't dare." Sinners know the gravity of their sins and are willing to die to thank the world. I just hope that the adults can let go of my men, they all have wives and children, and they are forced to follow me to the sea, as long as the adults can let them go. Sinners are willing to be killed. ”

"Big brother, you can't do this."

"Die to die!"

“……”

At this time, Zheng Zhilong and a few others said excitedly.

Li Rusong sneered, this is probably the drama they have arranged a long time ago.

Chen Lan smiled slightly, he knew that he should be out of the horse at this time.

Li Rusong has an arrogant personality, and it is estimated that he disdains acting with these pirate leaders.

"Leader Li, you are smiling, since you are willing to take refuge in our prince, our prince will definitely be willing to accept it. And recently at the time of employing people, maybe you can even ask for an official position. ”

Chen Lan laughed and helped Li Dan up.

Hear here. Li Dan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"I don't dare to be an official and a half-job, I just ask the prince to forgive my sins."

He didn't dare to believe too much in Chen Lan's words, after all, Chen Lan couldn't be the master of this kind of thing.

And back then, the imperial court put the big pirate Wang Zhi (also known as Wang Zhi. Some people say that Wang Zhi disdains the same name as Wang Zhi, so he changed his name to Wang Zhi. deceived the court, and for pirates, the credibility of the court was essentially equal to zero.

The main reason why Li Dan did this was because he was really desperate.

He had a large number of men, and if he wanted to feed them, he had to engage in maritime trade. But Lu Yan strangled the Taiwan Strait, which made Li Dan's life unsustainable at all.

In addition, Lu Yan's power has spread throughout East Asia and the South Seas. He really had no way out but to take refuge in Lu Yan.

So Li Rusong and Chen Lu took Li Dan and others to the military fort on Jeju Island.

As for those Li Dan's men and horses in the open sea, they must not be allowed to go ashore, otherwise it would be terrible if they suddenly attacked. So they sent a boat to take them to North Korea for temporary settlement.

As for whether North Korea would protest, General Lee never considered this.

"Why did you leave the Wa Kingdom? What's going on in the Wa Kingdom lately? ”

After coming to the military fort on Jeju Island, Li Rusong asked straight to the point.

Hearing this, Li Dan let out a long sigh.

So he told me what had happened recently in the Wa Kingdom.

Knowing that the warriors of the Wa Kingdom dared to kill the Ming people without permission, Li Rusong couldn't help but be furious.

"These robbers really deserve to be killed!"

The current Ming Dynasty is the real Heavenly Empire, and every citizen of the Ming Dynasty is full of self-confidence, and regards the surrounding countries as barbarians.

A group of barbarians dared to kill the Ming people without permission, this is simply a rebellion.

Chen Lan also nodded in agreement, both of them had a lot of robes that died in the hands of the Japanese Kou.

Coupled with the fact that the Japanese have been constantly invading the coast of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, it can be said that the two countries are full of hatred.

"But you are not a good thing, you dare to trade with the country privately, and you are innocent of death."

Li Rusong glared coldly at Li Dan and the others and said.

Li Dan and others dared to trade with the Japanese state, and it was absolutely right to say that they had fornicated with the Japanese invaders.

Maybe they even sometimes pretend to be Japanese and go ashore to rob them.

Hearing this, Li Dan smiled awkwardly, although he had already prepared for the reproach of the Ming general. But when it did, he was still very uncomfortable.

"Lord Li, this matter should be left to King Wu as soon as possible to decide what to do. Now that the Japanese are constantly violating the border, it is not a way to go on like this. ”

Chen Xuan said with a frown.

Li Rusong nodded, he also knew that he was not the one who made up his mind, and this matter still depended on Lu Yan's meaning in the end.

****

Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Since deciding to attack Liaodong, Lü Yan has been constantly transporting a large amount of supplies to Phi Dao.

&nbThe daily consumption of materials by the army of 10,000 is absolutely astronomical, plus the consumption of those war horses, if there is not enough logistics and supplies, there is no need for the other party to attack at all, and his own army will collapse.

In ancient times, due to the backwardness of transportation. The most difficult thing about the expedition is not how to fight, but logistical supply.

For every soldier fighting at the front, four or even five civilians are needed to come and provide supplies.

The vast majority of the food transported to the front is not eaten by the soldiers at the front, but consumed in the middle, and two out of ten percent of the food that can be transported to the front line is considered to be thankful.

Lu Yan's battle can also be regarded as an expedition, after all, his territory and Liaodong are at least thousands of miles apart.

But the good thing is that he can ship supplies by sea.

Every treasure ship is the most powerful transport ship. Thousands of tons of materials can be transported to Liaodong.

The cost of this transportation is negligible compared to land transportation.

Since the war in the South Seas was almost over, he deployed a fleet in Malacca, and after controlling the communication arteries between the east and the west, he transferred most of the ships back.

In addition, some civilian ships were hired, so that a large number of people and materials could be easily transported to Liaodong each time.

Combined with the previous reserves, Phi Dao has stockpiled a considerable amount of supplies.

It is believed that after a few more transportations, it can fully meet the needs of this war.

Although Lu Yan's actions were repeatedly concealed, the Ming Dynasty was not blind. Such a large fleet was easily spotted by coastal fishermen and officers and soldiers.

So the Ming Dynasty easily judged that Lü Yan was likely to attack Liaodong.

This made Zhu Youxiao breathe a sigh of relief, he could finally fight for a while longer.

Wu Wangfu, after learning what happened in the Wa Kingdom, Lu Yan couldn't help but be furious.

"What a bunch of damn bastards!"

Lu Yan couldn't help but scold.

In his previous life, what he hated most was those countries that excluded China. Although China is strong, the fate of the Chinese people is really miserable.

It is clear that it has great power, but it is always insulted by some weak and small countries.

So he planned to repair all those countries that excluded China, but he didn't expect that now the Japanese country has also begun to exclude Chinese.

Lu Yan knew that this incident was completely caused by him, and there was no such thing in history.

Looking at Lu Yan's gloomy face, Jia Xu felt a little bad. So he said: "My lord, it's better for us to settle this matter after the expedition to Liaodong." ”

Lu Yan shook his head. He's not the kind of politician who can continue to be a shrunken turtle after being slapped in the face.

He's a hot-blooded hairy boy, and since the enemy dares to offend him, he's a rebel. Then he has to let them know what will happen if they offend him.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, anyway, sooner or later, the Japanese country will be fighting, and it is better to fight sooner rather than later."

Lu Yan said.

He calculated that there would be no problem in sweeping away the Wa Kingdom with his strength, and that he would not make the mistakes of the Mongols.

Jia Xu thought about it and agreed, he also felt that with Lu Yan's strength, there was probably no country that could not be swept away.

"Pass my order and make Li Dan a guerrilla general, and all his subordinates will be transferred to his tent. We need someone who understands the Japanese country, and Li Dan is the most suitable candidate. ”

"In addition, 20,000 horses were dispatched from Phi Island to Jeju Island to prepare for the invasion of the Japanese invaders."

At present, Phi Island not only has a large number of supplies, but also can be called a large number of elite soldiers, and about 60,000 soldiers have been stationed here.

"In addition, Deng Zilong was ordered to send a fleet north to destroy as many ships as possible before we arrived."

Lu Yan said.

It is not possible to destroy the Japanese without sea control, so he needs to try to destroy the ships of the Japanese before he arrives.

Although the ships of the Wa Kingdom are not worth mentioning, they can destroy as many as they want.

Jia Xu nodded, and there were special guards next to him to record his orders.

So in order to cut down the widows, Lu Yan had no sleep all night. (To be continued)
