Chapter 316: Recovering the Homeland

Just when the imperial court was busy moving the capital to Chang'an, a Great Jin naval fleet in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea was heading towards the eastern coast of Linyi. On the deck, Lin Feng, the captain of the fleet, looked at the rough sea, he could be said to be full of ambition, he never took the so-called Central and Southern countries in his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that he was cooperating with General Zuo Liu Kun to play a vote, he would have ordered his naval officers and men to capture Linyi State a long time ago, but this time Liu Kun was the commander-in-chief of the recovery of Linyi, and he would not act without permission. After waiting for more than half a month, Lin Feng, who had been resting at Sanya Port in Yazhou, finally received the order to be promoted.

As the war was about to begin, according to tradition, the naval officers began to pray before the battle with the help of the commander. I saw the Taoist chief standing among the soldiers, holding a Lingbao Sect book in his left hand and leading everyone to chant together. The crowd was bathed in the morning light, and their bodies were filled with the radiance of holiness.

Half an hour before the war, Lin Feng summoned the governors of all fleets, the captains of battleships, and the soldiers to the flagship, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to hold a pre-war meeting.

After Lin Feng greeted the generals first, Li Ai, who joined the army, quickly opened a large military map, and pointed out the map of Linyi (now central Vietnam) with a whip and said: "Everyone, please see, Linyi State, originally the former dynasty (Han) Rinan County, is an out-and-out Chinese territory. About in the third year of Chuping (192), taking advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty, the local area of Ninan established the Linyi State and broke away from the Han Dynasty, with a population of about 300,000. My Great Jin Dynasty is a great country in the Celestial Empire after the orthodoxy of China, how can I let any inch of the territory that my predecessors and famous generals have worked so hard to get out of the empire?! ”

Yang Zhi, the Governor of the Seventh Fleet, asked, "May I ask Lord Governor, how is the military strength of Lin Yi Kingdom?" Is our army sure to take it? ”

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "There are only two big cities in Lin Yi in the country. It is also the city of Sucheng and the capital of the country, and the rest are small cities. The coastal area of Sucheng is the barrier of the city. Today, there are 55,000 troops in Linyi and 5,000 elephant troops. The total strength of the army reached 60,000, more than twice the size of our army. However, our army occupies the convenience of firearms, coupled with a powerful and invincible navy, to attack the weak with the strong, of course, there is certainty! ”

"Governor, what are the specific combat missions of our navy?

"Let the army join the army and tell everyone, Li Senjun, you will tell you about the battle plan!"

"Obedience. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look. This district is located at the confluence of Lurong Water and Shouling Water. More than six miles around the city, between the two waters, the three sides of the mountains, the north and south view of the water. The situation is precarious. The weapons and weapons of the Linyi country are all in this city. It was originally Xijuan County in the former Han Dynasty. It is the seat of Nichinan County. ”

"The task of our navy is to land at the mouth of the sea in the lower reaches of the Lurong water, and then divide the troops into land and water to attack Sucheng in the area together. Strive to take the district Sucheng in the shortest possible time, and then take the army south! ”

"My lord, this arduous task has been handed over to my navy, so why did the army go? They're not all going to eat, drink, and be merry, are they? After listening to the entire battle plan of joining the army, everyone present found that the task of the navy was still relatively heavy, and it was not easy to take the dangerous area of Sucheng.

"Hehe, everyone, this task of attacking the city has been handed over to our navy, so why did the army go? They wouldn't just be responsible for receiving places and captives, would they? One of the captains laughed.

"Hahaha!" The captain's words caused a burst of laughter among the people present, since the establishment of the navy, the two branches of the army and navy have never stopped fighting, and every year the two sides are eager to fight for the budget!

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, we can't control the army, Ben will only be responsible for completing the tasks assigned to my navy by the Privy Council, if anyone dares to drop the chain and make Pontus lose face in front of the army, you just wait for confinement!" Lin Feng warned everyone.

"Please rest assured!" The generals commanded in unison.

In the sea area east of Linyi, there is a huge imperial fleet, this time in order to conquer Linyi, the third fleet of the Great Jin Dynasty sent a total of 98 warships, carrying a total of 12,000 marines, with Lin Feng as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, from the port of Sanya, Yazhou westward.

At the same time, in Nanling, Jiude County, Liu Kun led a group of generals to entertain the king of Linyi and his party, and after a period of coordination, Fan Yi finally agreed to go to Nanling to meet with Liu Kun to solve the status of Linyi.

"The general led the mighty army of the Celestial Empire to inspect here, and everyone in my Lin Yi was overjoyed! I have always admired Shangbang culture! Fan Yi said flatteringly with a smile on his face, as for what he thought in his heart, I am afraid it is unknown, but he will definitely not welcome the Jin army to the south, if he is not forced to do anything this time, maybe Fan Yi will not have the courage to face the Jin army directly.

I'm afraid this is the so-called weak-heartedness, the slave forcibly seized the master's things, and now the master is coming back, but he has been occupying and not returning, so when he sees the master again, he will be somewhat weak and afraid!

Linyi is located in the southeast coastal zone of the Indochina Peninsula, from Heng Son Pass in Ha Tinh Province in the north to Phan Lang and Phan Lane districts in Binh Thuan Province in the south. Since the founding of the country, the Lam Yi kings have not been a peaceful lord, and they have been trying to expand northward, and have had frequent wars with the Chinese Central Plains Dynasty, which ruled northern Vietnam.

Moreover, the Linyi Fan family has accumulated rich experience in many struggles, once the Central Plains Dynasty shows weakness, they will invade the northern counties on a large scale, and if the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, they will also pretend to be grandsons to pay tribute to Huaxia.

"Oh? Is it? King Linyi, since you admire my Celestial Empire, then there is a suggestion that I don't know whether to talk about or not? Liu Kun, who was sitting at the top, held a wine glass, squinted at Fan Yi and asked in a playful tone.

"General, it's okay to talk about it, Xiao Wang listens to it!" Fan Yi

"Since you admire my Celestial Empire so much, then you might as well join my big family of Dajin! My Huaxia is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, with the Holy Son of Heaven on the throne and the virtuous ministers and good generals under it, and it is the time when it is thriving. I won't treat you badly, and besides, Lin Yi is my hometown of China, and today's return can be regarded as justifiable! I don't know what you think? After speaking, Liu Kun's eyes were cold, and he stared at the Lin Yi monarch in the tent without blinking.

"Ah, this, this, this ......" Fan Yi listened to Liu Kun's words, and suddenly his soul was overwhelmed, and an ominous premonition came to his heart, he felt as if he had been deceived by Liu Kun this time, and this banquet was simply a Hongmen banquet set up by the other party!

"What? King Lin Yi doesn't look down on me Dajin? Do you feel that you have wronged Your Excellency by submitting to my Great Jin? Liu Kun sneered and said, pressing Fan Yi step by step.

At this moment, a group of ragged people broke into the big tent from outside, and as soon as they entered, they fell to their knees with a bang and shouted injustice, "General, please make decisions for us!" ”

"Who are you waiting for?"

"We were originally Chinese relics, our ancestors lived in Linyi during the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and recently many Linyi people suddenly attacked our village and killed many Chinese relics. Before leaving, the native soldiers threatened us to leave the forest or they would be killed. An old man cried in front of everyone.

"King Linyi, what's going on?"

"This, this, this ......" Fan Yi scolded secretly while wiping his sweat, these stupid people can't do things absolutely, and always let him wipe his buttocks. Originally, since Huaxia coerced Linyi under the banner of recovering his hometown, it suddenly stimulated the sensitive nerves of the people of Linyi, and they would not reflect on the fact that they had occupied other people's land, but blamed Huaxia for invading Linyi. In this case, there were many conflicts between the indigenous people of Linyi and the remnants of China.

"Humph! Okay, you don't have to talk nonsense, General Ben has decided, in view of the stubbornness of the natives and the indifference between right and wrong, they must use force to warn them. At the same time, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again in the future, it is better for me to take over Linyi. ”

"Ahh The general is angry! Xiao Wang is willing to pay tribute to the Great Jin Dynasty and claim the domain, in addition, please give Xiao Wang a little time, and after I go back, I will definitely arrest those natives who offend the people of the Celestial Empire and punish them severely! When Fan Yi saw the sudden change in the situation, he was immediately shocked, and couldn't help but crawl on the ground and beg bitterly.

It's a pity that Liu Kun, who had already made up his mind, was not moved at all, and while he asked people to escort Lin Yi's monarchs and ministers down, he quickly mobilized troops to take the opportunity to take the front line of Hengshan. In the face of the sudden change, Lin Yi's side was caught off guard, and the troops they arranged on the front line of Hengshan had not had time to resist, and the ferocious Xiang army was wiped out!

At the same time, the navy, brightly lit at night, guided the fleet southward, getting closer and closer to Linyi. The weather was beautiful, there was no wind or waves, and the troops seized the time to rest. At five o'clock in the morning, when the sky was already white, the admirals in charge of the raid finally saw the coastline, and the fishermen of Linyi Kingdom, who had risen early, were stunned to see such a large fleet passing by them.

The Imperial fleet didn't pay attention to them, the fishermen were unarmed, and it was impossible for the fleet to go back and report the news as quickly as possible, not to mention, it was useless to report the news! Lin Yi does not have a navy, a pitifully small sailing fleet is not worth mentioning at all for the purpose of maintaining order, and the commercial wharf of Lin Yi is built for free by "kind-hearted" Da Jin merchants for Lin Yi, a one-kilometer-long cement wharf!

There were 1,000 Linyi troops stationed at the dock, and they saw the fleet flying the green dragon battle flag heading towards the pier. At first, he was amazed, and then he realized that the Jin army was not good!

The officers drove the terrified Linyi soldiers to the dock and raised their bows and arrows. Seeing the enemy ships getting closer and closer, Officer Linyi couldn't breathe, and ordered the arrows to be released, and the arrows fell into the water in a sloppy manner.

Ten battleships flanked and drove along the shore in an orderly manner, and as soon as the officer gave the order, the gunners who were on standby immediately lit the fuse, and suddenly the dense shells came like a downpour, like a typhoon passing through, sweeping the unobstructed flat dock!

"Boom!" After a loud bang, more than half of the soldiers in Linyi fell on the dock, and the soldiers who were not dead rolled on the ground, letting out a painful howl. The remaining soldiers were terrified and fled as fast as they could.

Seeing the enemy fleeing, several transport ships responsible for the landing immediately rushed towards the shore with thousands of marines, and they quickly spread forward to form a protective circle. Then ten ships docked at the same time, anchored and stabilized, this time from the bow of the ship to lower the drawbridge, the soldiers quickly descended, and some led the horses down, people shouted and neighed, and there was a commotion on the dock, marking the success of the naval landing......

The whole landing process went unusually well, there were no casualties, and there was no trace of the soldiers in Linyi. (To be continued......)
