Chapter 202: Arriving at Juehua Island

Zhu Youcheng did not meet Yuan Chonghuan, because their ship sailed at sea for twenty days, and arrived at Juehua Island on December 28, the fifth year of the Great Tomorrow.

The vigilance of Juehua Island was very good, and although they knew that Jiannu did not have a ship, and that the Ming flag was still flying on the Fu boat, the scouts of Juehua Island still rowed a small sampan on the boat to inspect it.

I heard that the envoy of Jinyi Wei came to Juehua Island, and the military generals on the island lined up in a neat line to greet the Son of Heaven's army at the port. Although the generals were more or less dissatisfied with the flying and domineering Jinyi Guard, no one dared to say anything on the surface, and they all pretended to be deferential.

The first person to get off the fortune boat was Zhu Youcheng, he was wearing the golden battle armor of the brocade guard, although there was no sunlight in the sky, but the battle armor was still shining, dazzling everyone's eyes.

Wang Xiaxe looked at Zhu Youcheng in surprise, he couldn't imagine that the pacification envoy was so young, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really the same person's fate, he had mixed up for half his life before he became the commander of the capital, and the adult in front of him seemed to be only a half-grown child, and he was already a four-grade pacification envoy.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the official position in Liaodong was chaotic, anyway, the dynasty was not safe, mixed with a grade, changed to a good official name, and engraved on the tombstone was also good for the glory of the ancestors. The commander of the capital is the second grade, but the commander of Juehua Island is in charge of four battalions, less than 10,000 people, only from the fourth grade.

With envy and jealousy, Wang Xiaxe welcomed Zhu Youcheng into the Yamen of the Command Envoy.

Wang Xiaxe left, but the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard continued to disembark from the Fu boat, so the other soldiers on the island could only continue to stay and greet them on both sides.

Wu Tianmeng knew that he had a bad temper and was easy to offend people, so he stood aside very low-key and blocked himself with Feng Yu's not majestic body. Rao is like this, he is still being targeted.

One hand rudely pulled Feng Yu aside. Wu Tian suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was an extra pair of leather boots. Then someone asked in a weird way: "General Wu, have you always been good?" ”

Wu Tianmeng raised his head, stared at the brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu in front of him, and suddenly reached out to remove his helmet and grabbed his ear. There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone secretly applauded in their hearts. Wu Tianmeng is really a fierce man, and he actually dares to pull the ears of the Jinyi Guard. The generals of Juehua Island all stepped forward to persuade them, and the strange thing was that the soldiers of Jinyiwei did not help when they saw that the leader was attacked, but just watched with interest from the sidelines.

Seeing that someone was persuading, Wu Tianmeng shouted: "Lao Tzu taught his son not to pick time. Gou Ping, are you okay, do you dare to talk like this when you see your father? ”

Wu Huping grinned and said, "Ouch, daddy." The ears were all pulled out. I'm a thousand households now, and I have a thousand people under me, so save me some face. ”

Wu Tian snorted heavily and let go of his hand. Only then did the military attache present know that the young general was actually Wu Tianmeng's son, and the two were joking, and they would both smile heartily.

Wu Huping turned around and temporarily handed over the matter of leading troops to Deputy Qianhu. Then. He discussed the issue of naming Wu Tianmeng: "Dad, Master Zhu has changed my name to Wu Huping." You also nodded on the spot. Why do you call me by my original nickname in public? ”

"I regret it, can't I do it......"

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they chatted on the side of the road. The generals of Juehua Island came one by one to congratulate Wu Tianmeng on giving birth to a good son, Wu Tianmeng's mouth was humble, but his heart was beautiful.

When the last brocade guard got off the boat, Wu Huping said to his father: "I have a military order. There can be no more delay, and I will wait until I settle the soldiers. ”

At the same time, Zhu Youcheng was inquiring about the situation on Wang Xiaxe Island. When he heard that there were 250,000 stone of grain on the island, he was silent. Then I heard that all the boats on the island were blocked by ice. I was so depressed that I wanted to bang my head against the wall.

Wang Xiaxe saw that he was in a bad mood and comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, Jiannu can't beat him." We are afraid of the cold, aren't Jiannu afraid of the cold? We have a padded jacket, and it's still shivering with cold, and Jiannu is wearing a leather jacket, isn't that colder? ”

Zhu Youcheng glanced at him coldly and said, "Jiannu is a fishing and hunting people, since Grandpa Cheng lent Liaodong to them to live temporarily, they have lived between the white mountains and black waters for many years. They don't do a day, they don't eat a day, so they have to fish and hunt in the cold winter, do you think they will be afraid of the cold? Also, in order to guard against our firearms, most of their soldiers wear cotton armor, leather jackets on the inside and cotton armor on the outside, will it still be cold? Don't ask me why they wear cotton armor, it's all snatched from us, and there is blood of our soldiers on it that can't be washed. By the way, the military department has carefully investigated, since November, Jiannu has begun to gather troops, who to fight, you can think about it yourself. ”

"Jiannu is not afraid when he comes, Juehua Island is in the west, Ningyuan City is in the east, and if the east and west are attacked, Jiannu will be broken."

Zhu Youcheng's eyes widened, and he glared at Wang Xiaxe: "Are you a pig?" Jiannu poured out this time, with a strength of between 60,000 and 120,000. The total strength of Ningyuan Jiajuehua Island is less than 30,000, and it is still attacking from east to west? Besides, you don't know Daming's field combat ability. As soon as Jiannu came, Ning Yuan Tie must have closed the door to thank the guests, and also helped you to attack Jiannu, you are dreaming. ”

Wang Xiaxe's face turned pale, and he muttered: "Lord Yuan still left four hundred personal soldiers down, and he will not leave his personal soldiers alone." ”

"Remind you, Lord Yuan is a civil official, and a civilian official has no personal soldiers."

Wang Xiaxe was woken up by Zhu Youcheng, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and begged: "Lord Zhu, help." ”

Zhu Youcheng sighed and said, "There are 250,000 stones of grain, and it must not be able to be saved." If the Jiannu attack, we'll burn it. The emperor has already given me a holy decree to let me do it cheaply, and you don't need to worry about the military department to investigate the matter of burning grain, and I will be fully responsible for this matter. But all the personnel must be retreated, and they cannot be sent to Jiannu for slaughter. Lord Wang, you mobilize the army and the people and let them all evacuate. Tianjin is relatively close, go there first, have my token, and it will definitely be received over there. Evacuate the people first, then withdraw the troops. I brought 25 Daifuku boats, each of which can seat 3oo to 4oo people, and can evacuate 75oo to 1oooo people at one time. Don't worry about food on the road, open the warehouse and let them take it as they please. However, the Fu ship can only be used once, because it takes about 20 days to travel to and from Tianjin Port. And around January 20th, Jiannu will definitely attack. So. Fu Chuan came to Juehua Island again, and he didn't have time to pick you up, so he came to pick up us Jinyi Guards. As for your soldiers, transport them on ships frozen on Kyaw Wah Island. Starting this evening, all soldiers will be canceled on vacation and digging boats with all their might. Don't worry about too many people. The boat can't move, as long as you sit on the boat, 500 steps from the shore, Jiannu will take you without a problem. There is no food on the island, and if it takes ten days and half a month, you can consume the Jiannu. You just said that there are more than 2,000 frozen boats, and even if all of them are small fishing boats, each of them can hold four or five people. So as long as you move now, there will be no bloodshed on Juehua Island. ”

As he spoke, he took out a token and shook it in front of Wang Xiaxe's eyes. Wang Xiaxe is a military general, his eyes are sharp, and at this moment, he saw the words engraved on the token: "Admiral Dong Zhishi Factory Wei". This brand is the token of the 9,999-year-old Wei Gonggong, with this token, you can get it anywhere in the world. What's more, it's a small Tianjin.

Wang Xiaxe was overjoyed and said, "Lord Zhu." I immediately summoned the military and civilians of the whole island and conveyed the order from above. ”

Zhu Youcheng also followed, but he didn't go to give Wang Xiaxe as circumstantial evidence, but commanded the Jinyi Guard soldiers to camp. Housing on the island is tight, and Wang Xiaxe can vacate a three-entry house for Zhu Youcheng, but it is impossible to give up a room for every soldier.

Wu Huping found a flat ground. Five thousand brocade guards can be stationed here. Zhu Youcheng looked at it, the place is good, but it is too close to the frozen sea. Looking through a telescope, you can also see the tall Ningyuan City on the other side of the coast. This is probably the way Jiannu invaded Juehua Island.

Zhu Youcheng said to Chen Guoqi: "Before the tenth day of the first month, send two scouts every day. Once in the morning and once in the evening, after the tenth day of the first month, send three scouts every day, and increase once at noon. For every ten people, the reconnaissance range is 100 miles. If possible, capture the enemy's scouts and try to catch them alive. ”

Chen Guoqi nodded. Zhu Youcheng pointed to the ice and said to the six thousand households: "This should be the passage for the invasion of Jiannu, and you build a chest-high wall here." Although we don't always get to meet Jiannu, it's always good to prepare early. ”

Ke Qingqing thought carefully and asked: "Lord Zhenfu, what kind of wall do you use, we didn't bring cement here when we came to Liaodong this time." ”

"Bricks, wood, and water."

"Can water hold bricks together?" Ke Qingqing, Jiang Ting, Feng Dingbang, and Xu Ning asked suspiciously, while Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi seemed to think of something, nodded and smiled.

Zhu Youcheng explained: "Don't forget, it's winter when water turns into ice, so build up bricks, pour water, and spend the night on them, you can become a solid ice wall." The sea can be frozen, let alone a narrow wall. By the way, you need to leave a shooting hole. ”

Zhu Youcheng sighed and said: "Originally, I wanted to use the grain bag to build a wall directly here, but once the grain was frozen, it could not be burned, but it was given to Jiannu." This section of ice is very wide, more than ten miles, I am afraid that I will not use up tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass. We must not do such a stupid thing. ”

Xu Ning asked, "My lord, where do the bricks and wood come from?" ”

"The residents of Juehua Island are about to be evacuated, and we will do a demolition team, go one by one, demolish one by one, and resolutely leave no nail households."

The six thousand households didn't understand Zhu Youcheng's cold jokes, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Jiang Ting asked a little worriedly, "My lord, what if the sun comes out, the ice and snow melt, and the ice wall falls?" ”

"It's okay. If the ice wall falls, the frozen sea will definitely melt, and even if it does not thaw, there will only be a thin layer of ice crust left on the surface, and Jiannu will step on it......"

The six Qianhu and Zhu Youcheng all laughed gloomily.

After laughing for a while, Zhu Youcheng added: "But we also have to be prepared, make the wall a little wider, and water a little more, preferably at night, the temperature is low at night, and it freezes with watering." ”

After assigning the task, Zhu Youcheng was about to go to see how the mobilization on Wang Xiaxe's side was, when he saw a young general walking towards him angrily. (To be continued!)
