Chapter 686: Strange People
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. Hurriedly climbed to the lookout.
At the end of the sea and sky, a small black dot faintly appeared, although it was vague and distant, but the outline of the land could already be distinguished. Extrapolation based on direction and distance. It should be Goryeo.
He was in a good mood, took the eldest lady's jade hand and jumped off the lookout, and said excitedly: "Brother Shi." In front of it is the Gwangju Mansion of Goryeo. Tell the brothers to work hard, and we'll land tonight!"
When the news came out, the sailors and soldiers were shocked. Adjust the direction of the sail and the oars will fly and fast.
Gradually. The land is getting clearer and clearer, with mountains and rivers, forests and trees. Slowly came into view, dozens of humble rafts. I'm busy fishing on the sea.
"It's finally here!" The eldest lady laughed and clapped her hands, and before she could finish speaking, she heard a loud bang on the sea in the distance, hundreds of feet away in front of them. A column of water rose into the sky. Leap half a foot high.
Shi Changsheng has rich experience in naval warfare, and his face changed immediately when he heard the sound, and he blocked in front of Lin Wanrong. He waved the small flag in his hand and shouted: "All battalions are ready." Listen to my orders, and prepare to fire—"
These sailors were personally selected by Xu Zhiqing and equipped with Dahua's best clippers and artillery. The army is neat and well-trained. Hear the commander's order. Thousands of soldiers quickly entered the gun position, and the rudder turned. Dozens of artillery pieces were aimed at the waters of Goryeo in front of them.
Lin Wanrong's face was as black as ink, and the joy of approaching the landing had long been swept away. The Koreans dared to fire at the Dahua Naval Division! The two armies were far apart. That shot was more tentative, but it was also a kind of naked provocation.
"Brother Shi. Loaded!" He snorted coldly.
"Loaded!" Shi Changsheng ordered the flag to wave. Thousands of soldiers moved cleanly and swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the iron bullet and gunpowder were reloaded, and the torch in his hand was blazing, just waiting for the commander to give an order. Ten thousand cannons will be fired in unison.
Rushing waves crashed on the side of the ship. The crystal water droplets shot out like a goddess scattering flowers. The sea level was dead silent, and no one dared to speak.
No one thought that a trip to Goryeo would have been easy and enjoyable. It was even about to start with the roar of 10,000 cannons. Xiao Yuruo snuggled up to him. Hold on to his hands tightly. Won't let go for a moment.
"Wait, please wait one"
In the midst of the confrontation, a sea boat suddenly came on the sea in the distance, and the bow of the ship was in the shape of a bird and a turtle. Bursts of yellow smoke erupted from the turtle's beak, filling the sea like mist.
The turtle was about ten zhang long and three zhang wide, and it was covered with iron armor on the wooden side. It is much smaller than the warship of the Shandong Naval Division, and there are ten oars on the left and right sides of the ship. The sails were hoisted high, and the iron armor was filled with dense nets of knives and conical iron sticks.
On the bow of the ship stood a Goryeo general in his forties. Long face. His eyebrows were very thick, and he was shouting loudly with his hands on his lips, and his Chinese was very stiff.
"It's a Korean land turtle ship!" Shi Changsheng is well-informed. Hurriedly attached to Lin Wanrong's ear and said: "This is the invention of the Koreans, they installed iron armor on the outside of the wooden warship, which not only has a certain ability to resist, but also is light and fast. The iron armor is hung with a ground knife net and a cone drill. Can break through enemy wooden ships. Extremely sharp. The yellow smoke from the turtle's mouth is also poisonous and can make people dizzy. Or even a coma. This time in the fight against the Japanese. This turtle boat was put into service for the first time. The results were brilliant. ”
What a turtle boat! Looking at the thick yellow smoke from the bow of the ship. Lin Wanrong sneered: "Brother Shi, connect the water dragon!"
Between words. The turtle boat was close, and it was only five or six feet away from the Miss. The Goryeo general on the bow of the ship said proudly: "You are the Dahua Sailor?"
The warships of the Shandong Navy Division were full of golden dragon flags. It was the most vivid status symbol, and it was rude for the Koreans to open their eyes wide and ask knowingly.
Shi Changsheng jumped violently and was about to answer. was stopped by Lin Wanrong waving his hand. He smiled. Unhurriedly, he said: "It's the Dahua Water Master!" What is your name, this general?"
"I am Lee Sun-chen, the envoy of the Jeolla Left Province of Goryeo," the Goryeo general shouted, "You are the Daehwa Naval Division." But trespassing on my border in Goryeo, what do you want?"
"Dahua Haishi trespassed into the border of Goryeo?" Lin Wanrong repeated it in a gloomy voice, and suddenly laughed out loud: "What a trespasser!" General Li Shunchen. Do you dare to take responsibility for every word you say?"
"This—" Li Shunchen's face gradually changed. I seem to have thought of something. Hurriedly changed his words: "Dahua Gaoli is one, but you broke into my sea realm without saying a word——"
"What does it mean to be silent?" Lin Wanrong's cheeks were cold: "According to the land agreement signed between the King of Goryeo and Dahua." The two places were one, and the garrison of Goryeo was taken over by our loyal and brave army. I, the Dahua Sailor, hung a flag and entered my own territory. To whom do you want to speak? According to the law, Goryeo should only retain the Arrest and Robbery Department, the Righteous Forbidden Mansion and other divisions to maintain law and order, and take charge of the criminal law, and all other soldiers will be revoked. And be the first to fire at our army! General Li, you are very daring!"
His tone was gloomy. Sneered. A series of questions made Li Shunchen unable to parry, and General Goryeo's face turned red, and he said loudly: "This is an unequal treaty. The thing about our Koreans. Why let Dahua take care of it? It's too much!"
"What an inequality!" He looked up to the sky and smiled. The sound pierced through the gold and gravel, streaking across the vast sea. Buzzing in Li Shunchen's ears.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Shunchen said.
Lin Wanrong's voice trembled coldly: "Finally, you, General Li, still know the word fairness." It's good, if you want to be fair, then please pay me back first!!"
"What's fair to you?" The Koreans were puzzled.
"What fair?!" Lin Wanrong slapped the table angrily: "At the critical moment when my border is in an emergency and the country is in danger." The people of Dahua put their own safety at risk. Hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters fought bloodily on the land of your Goryeo, and tens of thousands of lives are buried here. They are not related to you, and the clumps of blood and bones are still there, have you ever given them justice? When your heart trembles, and you are afraid of the destruction of your country, and you turn to me for help. Why don't you come and tell me to be fair? Now that things have changed, you are enjoying the fruits of the victory that the loyal soldiers have paid for with their blood and lives, and at the same time shouting that I want to be fair—it has become a habit to get something for nothing. Really, I'm a righteous construction site?! Fair? Are you qualified to mention those two words to me?!"
He scolded his face for a while, General Li's face was red and white for a while, and his cheeks trembled rapidly, but he didn't know how to tell the difference.
The more Lord Lin spoke, the more angry he became. Looking at the turtle boat that was constantly spewing smoke. Annoyed with a big wave of his hand: "What spray?" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Brother Shi. Water Dragon!"
Shi Changsheng listened to his lecture to the Korean people, not to mention the comfort in his heart, and laughed when he heard it. Carrying the water dragon into battle in person, he swept at the turtle boat.
The yellow smoke emitted from the turtle's mouth looks scary, but it is actually burning sulfur and flame nitrate, which dissolves when it encounters water, and the water dragon is poured on it. The yellow mist dispersed. The turtle boat suddenly died down and lost its fire.
Shi Changsheng was unforgiving. Holding down the water dragon and sweeping indiscriminately, the Korean people on the boat couldn't dodge. He was drenched in a drenched by him.
"What are you doing-" Li Shunchen stomped his feet and jumped away, and said angrily.
Shi Changsheng sneered: "General Li dares to open fire on my Dahua Naval Division. I'll ask you to take a shower, so what's the point?"
looked at Lin Wanrong's cold face. Li Shunchen was short of words for a while. Busy said: "I was too far away to see clearly." There will be a misshoot!"
The Great Huadi warship traveled very slowly. The dragon flag hanging on the mast is the most conspicuous symbol, how can it not be seen clearly? Even if you can't see clearly, according to the practice of sailing on the sea, you should ask out loud first. How can anyone rush to fire without saying a word? This General Li made it clear that he was deliberately demonstrating.
"Misfired?" Lin Wanrong said lightly: "Okay, Brother Shi." Let's shoot it by mistake. So many shells and gunpowder on the ship, it's too heavy! Tell them to go down, and everyone will fight together. Hit it right and start it!"
"What?!" The Goryeo generals were dumbfounded. This Dahua sailor has dozens of boats. Dozens of artillery guns on each ship. There are also two less ones. If we want to fight together, it will be a hundred thousand guns in unison. It's not much worse than a sea battle, and such a big thing is said from this mouth, but it's like a joke, and I don't know what he came from.
Shi Changsheng was overjoyed and raised the flag. The entire Dahua Naval Division was instantly solemn, and the dark muzzle of the cannon glowed with a deep ghostly light, silently aiming at the sea.
"Shoot!" The commander of the sailor shouted loudly, and ordered the flag to be down.
"Boom-" The deafening sound of cannon was like a sudden thunder in the clear sky. The entire fleet was trembling, and the turtle boat that Li Shunchen was riding was actually lifted up by the waves.
Hundreds of feet away from the sea level rises an endless column of water. It seems that the pavilion that suddenly rose up went straight to two feet high. When the wide sea is peeled off, it becomes a tuft of smoke and rain. It was like a vast and boundless rolling cloud.
The Dahuadi artillery has been transformed by the skillful hands of craftsmen, and has absorbed the strengths of the West. Which precision power is comparable to that of Goryeo? At this time, the whole sea and sky buzzed, the land trembled in the distance, and the sea level instantly created a wave of monstrous waves. Rushing in all directions.
The rumbling sound of artillery naturally alarmed the garrison on Gwangju Island, and the men and horses galloped towards the sea in the distance. The golden dragon flag flew high. In the middle of the banner was written a large word "forest".
"Lin Shuai. Look, it's a loyal and brave brother!" Shi Changsheng said loudly.
The mist gradually dispersed, and the soldiers of the loyal and brave soldiers on the shore were stunned at first when they saw this huge fleet. Then he jumped up with excitement. Desperately waving the flag in his hand. shouted in unison: "Marshal Lin, Marshal Lin-
This is a volley of 10,000 cannons. It's about the overall situation of Goryeo. If it is not an ordinary person who dares to do it, the expression of the person in front of him is indifferent. Raise your hands and feet, but you have done things that others dare not do. Neat. It doesn't seem to take it seriously. Is that identity ordinary?
Li Shunchen's heart froze, and he hurriedly looked up at him: "May I ask who Your Excellency is-"
Seeing the smiling face, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. Suddenly, his body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you are Lin San-"
I didn't expect to be a celebrity in Goryeo! Lin Wanrong laughed: "General Li." You've got a great eye!"
Li Shunchen's face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. The name of the place, the shadow of the tree, the three of the forest. He only realized it for himself today, and it was no wonder that even the Turkic people, who were strong by nature, were defeated at the hands of such a person. Never wronged!
The Sinian slowly approached the shore, and the soldiers of the loyal and brave troops stationed in Goryeo flocked to it. Surround the bow of the ship. The call of excitement shook the sky.
Lin Wanrong felt a little embarrassed in his heart, although he was named the commander of the loyal and brave army, it was the first time he met these soldiers. Saw the reverent and almost adoring eyes of the sergeants. He was rarely ashamed.
The landing place is called Mokpo Port, which is part of Gwangju Province. It is also one of the important places to grab the beach in the past in Dongying. In that battle, Goryeo's 80,000 strong men lost sixty percent, and they had no strength to fight again, so the entire affairs were taken over by the loyal and brave army.
Gwangju is located in the southernmost part of Goryeo, and there are still several days to go from Kyoto's Seoul Prefecture, and I heard that Marshal Daehwarim personally visited Goryeo. The two highest local governors, the Jeolla Provincial Observer and the Gwangju Metropolitan Protector Yin, hurriedly came to greet him, held a banquet, and staggered their plans, how dare they have the slightest neglect.
It took a few days to travel by sea. Finally landed today, and after the dinner, he took Yuruo's hand and walked on the beach, and his heart was indescribably happy.
Looking at the sky-high water. The eldest lady smiled and looked at him a few times: "The first time I crossed the ocean, but you fired a cannon to come in, go back and tell Qiaoqiao and them." I'm going to make them laugh. ”
"What's so funny about that? They need to know that you are here to taste Korean food. I must be jealous!" Lin Wanrong he.
Speaking of Korean cuisine. The eldest lady suddenly smiled helplessly. The two of them tacitly agreed.
Wander under the silent moon. Suddenly, a figure flickered in the distance. Hidden, hidden. He didn't seem to want him to see it.
"General Li Shunchen, what are you hiding?" He called with a smile.
Li Shunchen walked out of the shadows and said embarrassedly: "Please forgive Marshal Lin!" I am on the orders of the Jeolla Provincial Observer. Guarding your safety, I didn't expect to alarm you!"
It's funny. Send a general who has had a temperate relationship with me to protect me? He shook his head helplessly.
This time. However, he was wrong to blame the Jeolla Provincial Observer, and Lee Sun-chen was the most outstanding general in Goryeo, not to mention after this great battle. Korean talent withered. There is only one person who can show his hand.
"General Lee. What I said at that moment. It's not about people. He patted Li Shunchen on the shoulder and said unhurriedly: "I hope you understand." There is no free lunch in the world, and if you get it, you must pay it! This is true for Goryeo. The same is true for Dahua!"
Li Shunchen sighed helplessly, and didn't know what it was like in his heart.
"Alright. Let's not talk about these disappointments! General Lee. I want to hit someone with you. A strange man who shook Goryeo!"
