The white crane was stunned.

I always thought that he was guarding against the Japanese people. Whether it was building a sailor or blocking a sea route, all of them were preparing for their own attack on Wajima.

Zhang Yong is definitely a belligerent, but even Zhang Yong is telling him that he must not take the initiative to attack Wajima. Then Bai Minghe had to take this to heart, violating the teachings of the Ming Taizu, this is Zhang Yong hinting to himself, this kind of red line cannot be stepped on, and it is okay when he is in a good wind, but once he is in a headwind.

Whether it is the court or the small states, if you use this to embarrass yourself, it will be really a big trouble.

"You say, according to Taizu's teachings. If the Japanese attack the subject country of the Ming Dynasty, what if the king of the subject country asks for help? ”

Zhang Yong didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "You can beat the Japanese to death, but according to the Taizu training." There is still no way for us to attack the Wajima mainland, unless you have other reasons and excuses. Also, the subordinates thought that the only thing that could cause the Japanese to do it at the moment was the Li Goryeo. ”

Yu Qian said at this time: "Li's Goryeo can't move, once there is a war on the sea. You can't afford to lose. ”

"What about the Ryukyus?" Bai Minghe asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yong smiled: "My lord, if the Japanese move the Ryukyus now, they are really brain-dead." The Ryukyus don't have any oil or water, and the only reason it's worth using it is simply that it can be used as a supply point for the oceans. ”

"No, no!" Bai Minghe shook his head: "Contact the ...... of the Ryukyu King" Speaking of this, Bai Minghe's eyes lit up: "Arrange it, I will go to Ryukyu in person." Right away! ”

"My lord, this ......" Zhang Yongxin said, long live the decree that the white crane cannot go to the sea. Don't take any risks.

"Remember him." Yu Qian supported Shirachiwa on the sidelines, and Yu Qian knew very well that from a strategic point of view, Shira's choice of Ryukyu was not wrong. If you have to fight, then staying away from Daming and Wajima is the first-class choice.

After speaking, Yu Qian added: "This official is also going." All your plans must be approved by the Officer. ”

"Lord Yu, this is not good!" The white name crane said in his heart, Yu Qian, don't get in my way.

Yu Qian was very strict: "The white crane." This is a national war. What you have in your hands is the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers, as well as the waterways of rice, salt, sugar, and oil for the people of the four provinces, do you think that you can make up your mind about such a big matter by patting your head. You're too arrogant, aren't you? Do you still take the imperial court in your eyes? ”

Yu Qian is reasonable, this is a national war, not a game, although Bai Minghe was taught by Yu Qian, he was convinced in his heart.

Yu Qian said again: "Bai Minghe, you are just afraid that the plan is a little inappropriate. I can tell you that in war, there is only clever strategy. There is no such thing as shameless! ”

"Go and arrange, prepare to go to sea in the name of playing. Then send someone to inform General Lan Hai to prepare for battle. Inform the Guangdong Navy Division to select an elite warship and call it at will. In the end, he asked the Duke of Wei to come to the house, and only said that three were missing one. The war against the Japanese is kept secret! Bai Minghe pointed at Wu and Bi.

Wu Youbi is a literati, but it doesn't mean that he is completely incomprehensible. At the moment, he said: "The old man borrowed it for a few days in the White Horse Pavilion, just to complete a manuscript, and also wrote an idea about the opening of the school. Please forgive me for the disturbances, and I am tired of eating and lodging. ”

How good this is to say, it is clear that he is willing to be placed under house arrest. But I still said this translation, and there is really a set.

Gao Gu doesn't need to avoid it, he himself is Bai Minghe's deputy, and he is already qualified with his identity, not to mention that according to the current situation, he still has the position of Bai Minghe's deputy, although he hasn't done anything to Bai Minghe.

"In this world, there is no absolute fairness. Talking with a big fist is naturally more effective than a person who can only cry, just like the Central Plains and the grassland, think about the Han Dynasty and then think about our Ming Dynasty! "The opening words of the white crane are full of gunpowder and murderous.

Bai Minghe swiped his finger on the map: "Right now, it's nothing more than the difference between hitting slowly and hitting hard." ”

"How to fight slowly, how to fight hard."

"Playing slowly is to let them prepare well and be full of hope. Kill them all! "Bai Minghe has thought about various ways of naval warfare, and several key battles that have affected the pattern of the world's naval landscape, among which the closest is the Anglo-Spanish naval battle.

The Spanish Armada at that time against the British Royal Navy. It ended with a complete victory for Great Britain.

"Even a peace-loving nation is bound to start a war in three situations. The first is the lack of resources, the second is that the resources are too abundant, and the third is that the development of the country has been severely limited by the land area. So the Japanese will definitely fight, because they are poor, we are rich, and they only have a small land. So, ......, he took all three elements of war into account. ”

Xu Chengzong swept the tea leaves in the teacup with the lid of the cup, and said coldly: "Fight, fight, there are so many strange theories there, no matter how much you say, it is impossible to change the matter of the 15th non-conquest of the country." In the meaning of the country's public, it is fought every day, every month, and every year. As long as they have a boat, hit him first. ”

"Well, that's not good!" Takaya said that if there is no reason to start a war, even he will be impeached.

"What's that Spoo's about?" Hu Hu asked.

"It's a division of the Wajima Ashikaga family, and now it's a family that holds the important positions of the three leaders, and each generation of its lineage Wuwei family is in charge of the three leaders and four positions, and the seven heads will definitely get the official position of the commander of the guard, and it is also the largest official among the three leaders. His family is very powerful, and it is estimated that he can rank among the top three in Wajima. ”

Shira-nae explained briefly.

Yu Qian asked: "In this matter, is there a shadow of the Ashikaga family?" ”

In Yu Qian's heart, a general family who overthrew the king of the Japanese would pollute his mouth if he called him a general.

"Is there any, does it matter?" After Xu Chengzong asked rhetorically, he said: "Anyway, if you want to move the island, why do you want to be a bitch and set up an archway, my lord is bullying them, what's the matter." ”

"Wei Guogong, do you want to leave a mark in the history books? It will definitely be written in the history books: Xu Chengzong, the Duke of Wei, instigated the war against the Japanese in order to plot a share of 30,000 quintals of raw silk. And then what? Hu Hu smiled coldly and continued: "Next, it will be to remember the loyal Ming, and this battle is also meritorious. His fault of not caring about the training of Taizu 15 can be exempted, but this time the merit will not be rewarded. Keep a record, keep the bottom! ”

Hearing Hu Hu say this, Xu Chengzong was empty at that time.

It's a bad thing to keep a file in the history books, this thing is terrible.

"I have a plan, I plan to invite the King of Siam to Beijing recently, so I will do this by the way."

"No!" Gao Gu, Hu Hui, and Yu Qian opposed at the same time, thinking that this white crane was going to use black tricks, but it would be trapped in a few different gangs and huge dangers, so this plan was not advisable.

Shirakawaru won't give up and continues to talk about his plan.

There is a risk, but that risk can be completely ignored. Xu Chengzong still didn't believe it, and it was possible for the firepower on the ship to break through the defenses one by one and rush to the White Crane Great White Shark.

Well, even if you can.

Can that artillery fire penetrate the great white shark with steel plates in key parts?

"The government of the country supports it, but the government of the country asks for it to be on board." Xu Chengzong was the first to express his support.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "The official also supports it, but the official also asks to be on board again." ”

Hu Hu and Gao Gu didn't even react, but they also asked to be on the boat. Rather than taking other boats, it is really not as safe as the Great White Shark, you must know that the ship of the White Crane has almost been transformed into a sea battle fort, there is no cargo in the ship, and the huge weight makes many cabins empty.

Two days later, the white crane dragged his family on the boat and announced that he was on a trip.

Then, the Grand Fleet traveled, and there were ten high-ranking officials who traveled together, and in addition to the military department, the six departments of Nanjing sent Zuo Shilang to accompany them. The military department was even more vigorously dispatched, and at least 70 military attachés and generals from the military department, the Nanjing Five Military Governor's Office, and the Nanjing Navy Division traveled together.

There were hundreds of large and small ships, with an entourage of 17,000 people.

The only ones who didn't go with them were the people of Dongchang. Wang Cheng stayed in Nanjing, Zhang Yong went to Hangzhou, and the rest of the elites of Dongchang basically stayed in Nanjing.

There was a lot of talk in Nanjing's restaurants.

Some people say that this is an opportunity for Shirana Crane to take advantage of the trip, and it may be some kind of secret business trip.

There are also famous Confucians in Nanjing who wrote to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, believing that the white crane borrowed the country's heavy instrument for personal pleasure, which was a great crime of disrespect.

In short, it's all about everything.

From Nanjing to the Ryukyu Kingdom, it is less than 2,000 miles of water, and no matter how slow the big ship of the white crane is, it will not take more than ten days. But the white crane walked for half a month, and the king of the Ryukyus did not wait for the white crane to come, and after the ship carrying the message arrived at the port of Naha, he went to the dock every day to guard and wait.

As for the white crane, I went to Keelung Port.

"General Lan, this time the Nanjing Navy Division can't move, the Nanjing Navy Division is still training new ships, not to doubt the combat power of the Nanjing Navy Division, but the Fujian Navy Division has been practicing for a longer time. What's more important is that as soon as the sailors in Nanjing move, the people will have some ideas, first, because they are afraid that the news will leak, and secondly, they don't want to cause the people to be uneasy. ”

As soon as Bai Minghe saw the blue sea, he immediately introduced his idea of coming to the Fujian Navy Division to fight the main battle.

Without waiting for Lan Hai to speak, Xu Chengzong was not happy: "You said that the latter two national princes still approve, but what you said before is to suspect that the combat power of the Nanjing Navy Division is not as good as that of the Fujian Navy Division!" ”

"Guogong, you are serious, and the long-term practice is still a Guangdong sailor. But this good steel is used on the blade, and the safety of the Nanjing sailors to protect the Nanjing trade route is naturally the top priority. My Fujian Navy Division is currently peaceful, and the task of blocking the Japanese people from going south was originally on the head of the Fujian Navy Division. The Guangdong Navy Division is facing the south, and the Nanjing Navy Division is facing the north, which is also our Fujian leisure, so we can dispatch more ships. ”

Lan Hai has also been in the official for a long time, and a few words made Xu Chengzong smile a little more.

Yu Qian pointed at the two of them, and then pointed at Bai Minghe: "In the officialdom, you have to speak in a measured manner, you have to learn more, too straightforward may not make people feel comfortable." ”

Xu Chengzong and Lan Hai both laughed and did not speak. (To be continued......)
