Chapter 173: No excuse
Beginning in June of the fourth year of the new country, some intelligence officers of Tongguò risked their lives to infiltrate Japan, and finally provoked another war on Japanese soil. In fact, when it comes to Japan's intelligence and defense work, it is no worse than that of the new country, and Zhao Ling is indeed talented, under his leadership, the ninja army has become an organization similar to the new country's brocade guard, strictly guarding against water and not entering, and assisting in governing the country, which has become Zhao Ling's hands and eyes. The spy personnel trained by Wei He and Zhao Yu are well aware of the strategies and key points of the ninjas, and the people who have been trained by combining the intelligence of the Lu family and the essence of the ninja are specially prepared to deal with the Japanese ninjas. In short, more than 50 of the elites were selected and let them infiltrate Japan, but only one escaped, and the rest were wiped out. It has to be said that Zhao Ling has completely used the ninja army for his own use to the extreme, and Lu Bing also spies after hearing the news, even if he is difficult to do this. And when the man alone delivered the news, he was already scarred and escaped death.
Among the five sect masters, Qiandao Run has become Zhao Ling's diehard loyalist, and it is not enough to conspire with him. And the remaining three were either dissatisfied with Zhao Ling's treachery and not dividing up the territory and troops together according to the agreement, or they were dissatisfied with the Zhao family's division of territory and troops. But they were helpless and didn't dare to fight, because Zhao Ling's movements were too fast, he annexed and expanded with lightning speed, and in a short period of time when others didn't react, he had a strength that the three of them couldn't match, not to mention that the brain-dead fanatical militant Qiandao Jun had worked hard for the Zhao family. As for the Iga family, they can be ignored directly, and no one takes them seriously. They are not even minions now, they can just be regarded as a dog called by the Zhao family.
Those forty-nine intelligence officers were severely tortured and tortured, which was the result of human nature. Although they came with the determination to die, when they were dying, they felt fear, and they were even more afraid of the torture that life was better than death, and they could not survive every day. Before they reached the limit of what people could bear, they recruited. Of course, even if they recruited, they couldn't save their lives, but such a confession is understandable, and loyalty is worthless in such a helpless situation. Although the three families have not yet replied to the contact of the Xinguo Lu family, it has made Zhao Ling panic. The Lu family's trick is so ruthless, it doesn't take much intelligence to guess that this is a sign that the Lu family is going to take action on themselves.
Zhao Ling naturally couldn't allow cannibalism to happen, so he appeased the three of them. And take precautions, for fear that they will be deceived and turn against themselves, although even if the three of them work together, they will not be able to be their enemies, but they will also cause a lot of trouble. Zhao Ling originally wanted to appease the three of them, and put Lu Bing's plan on the surface. Inform the three of them. Let them not be confused, let the three of them understand that cannibalism can only make Lu Bingyuwen profitable.
But how could Zhao Ling be unscrupulous in order to swallow it before, the three of them had lost their trust in it, and they didn't dare to go to the discussion, the more Zhao Ling wrote to explain, the more the three felt that Zhao Ling was confusing themselves, so that they relaxed and took the opportunity to attack him. Then cut the grass and remove the roots. In fact, they don't understand the viciousness of the new country's scheme, which is clearly after the separation. Take advantage of the distrustful character of both sides to force the opposite. wants to crack it, but there is nothing to do, and Zhao Ling is already suspicious, this is an indisputable fact, and even if this matter goes on like this for a long time, it will be swallowed up by Zhao Ling sooner or later, but this matter has accelerated the process of both sides. Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to fight back, as long as they have the strength, even if the Lu family can do anything, they still think that the Lu family is just the Lu family back then. But they were right, anyway, the matter has come to this point, and it can only be reversed.
So Rukawa, Kishimoto, and Jiajiamu Sato remained silent and ordered their subordinates to return to the new country with the surviving intelligence officers of the new country. With the protection of the three sect masters, the remaining one naturally did not have any accidents, but this matter was also known to Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling was furious, Xiushu angrily reprimanded the three of them, and ordered the three of them to come quickly to admit their mistakes, so that they would not be investigated, otherwise they would definitely send troops to fight.
Although Zhao Ling's ninjas are powerful, they are limited to the territory of Japan, and they don't know that in fact, Lu Bing has already secretly sent someone to transfer the materials to Ryukyu at this time. As soon as he received the reply from the three people, he sent the arms and food, which not only caught Zhao Ling off guard, but even the three sect masters did not expect it, and then he was ecstatic. No matter where it is, the saying that people who put up recruitment flags and eat their own food is not outdated, not to mention that Japan is not rich in the first place. So the three sect masters were emboldened, and with the Lu family's continuous fire guns and grain and grass, they were confident that they would fight with Zhao Ling, who seemed to be extremely powerful, and the war began, and Zhao Ling could only be helpless with a long sigh.
Of course, the so-called firecrackers are some equipment that seems to be outdated in the new country's soldiers and horses, but for Japan, they are advanced enough. And Lu Bing played very skillfully, he provided them with equipment that seemed to increase the difficulty for himself, but in fact, once the battle started, the training was more effective. Otherwise, the strength of the Lu family is too strong, what is the point of fighting a group of Japanese who are like primitive people. And Lu Bing gave them a very good control of the amount of ammunition, often fighting and then gone, the originally dominant situation was immediately counterattacked by the opponent, and often owed grain and grass, in short, seeing that Zhao Ling was weak, he deliberately weakened the strength of the three sect masters, either cutting off his arms or cutting off his military rations, which would always make Zhao Ling come back. The two sides began a protracted war that went back and forth, and after several ups and downs, they both knew the harm, but they couldn't stop attacking, how could they stop as soon as the battle started, and no one didn't hate Lu Bing. The three sect masters were even more so, but they also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, annoying Lu Bing was afraid that all supplies would be interrupted at once, and that he was not Zhao Ling's opponent at all, he was afraid that he would be defeated and finally die in Zhao Ling's swollen hand, Zhao Ling had always been extremely cruel to his opponents, so the three of them did not dare to stop attacking in order to seek peace.
In April of the fifth year of the new country, the soldiers and horses of the new country were assembled, and Lu Bing claimed: "We can't let them fight anymore, and if we continue to fight, everyone will be defeated, and we will have no to fight." Of course, it is not impossible to say this in external propaganda, but only that we should fulfill the obligations of a major country and mediate the feelings of friendly countries. So the 100,000 troops boarded the ship and went to sea to attack Japan in three ways, Yu Dayou on the north road, Meng Lin on the middle road, and Tang Kekuan on the south road. The three parties went hand in hand, and they went straight to Japan before they separated, and each headed towards its own location.
The coastal Japanese were all amazed. Some people who have seen the Ming fleet are even more amazed, how can their ship change so much in just over ten years, and the whole shape has changed incredible. Those huge turning gears made me shudder. The new soldiers were stationed on the shore, and under the strong fire protection of the ships and the high-altitude detection of the balloons, the enemy could not sneak attack or attack. The three sect masters had already been deprived of arms and food and salaries for this money, and they were very worried at this time, and when they heard that Lu Jiajun was coming, they hurriedly paid a visit, but they were turned away and did not see each other.
After the pause in the northern, central, and southern directions of the Lu Jiajun was completed, it was announced the next day that some soldiers had been killed by the Japanese. But who didn't know the legendary soldier who was killed, and no one around him died, everyone thought that it was a person from another unit. But who exactly. Lu Jiajun and each exact statement. However, the soldiers of the Lu family army were angry, they came to save people and the fire and water, to maintain the peace of Japan and end the war, why did they still kill their comrades and siblings without knowing how to do it. This is a righteous war. So they signed a joint letter to ask for battle. And the Japanese leaders didn't care who killed the Lu Jiajun, they knew that this was just a reason, a reason to attack Japan, the Lu Jiajun was so tightly defended, who could enter within a hundred paces.
There is nothing to write about in the war, the three armies march together, and all kinds of steam weapons, fire coverage and advanced weapons fight the enemy at the touch of a button. The head of the rat lost his armor and the wolf bèi was unbearable. It doesn't matter what the three major sect masters or Zhao Ling's troops, as long as the Japanese invaders attack them one after another. Do not be merciful to those who are not of my race.
The Lu family army only took three days, like a companion army to occupy the entire territory of the Japanese mainland, the three suzerains died on the battlefield, the soldiers and residents were all taken over by the Lu family, Zhao Yuanji was killed by artillery fire, Zhao Ling rushed out with a few militant factions of Qiandao Yun under the escort of his own soldiers, and 3,000 people boarded the ship and fled to Ezo. Ezo is Zhao Ling's hometown, and it is also his last place to stay, only to find that this place has been conquered by Yu Dayou's troops. In desperation, he didn't even land on the island and went south, and Lu Jiajun was not in a hurry to chase and kill like a cat and mouse, but slowly followed from behind, Zhao Ling ran to build Purple Island and Shiguo Island again, and found that all of them were also guarded by Lu Jiajun, and he didn't chase after Zhao Ling's fleet when he saw it, it was just a deterrent.
Naturally, you can't go to the border of the new country, and if you go, you are looking for death, and you can't go to the Ryukyus, which is now included in the new country. The people of the new country are accustomed to it, and such a large area of land as Tatar is subject to the new country, which is included in the territory of the new country, not to mention Yungui, Guangxi, and Wusizang. The land of the new country is already the largest territory since ancient times, so a small Ryukyu is not worth mentioning at all.
However, Lu Bing attached great importance to the strategic location of the Ryukyus, and the policy towards the Ryukyu King was different from that of others, allowing him to govern only by sending people to supervise and counsel, implement the legal system of the new country, and garrison the army of the new country, but the political power was still in the hands of the Ryukyu king, and the Ryukyu king also had military strength. This is because of the reward for the merits of the Ryukyus in that year, and also because of the local conditions of the Ryukyus, because there is only a strategic purpose, and the Ryukyus are quite insignificant, so it is not to be written about. Zhao Ling didn't go to Ryukyu, he wasn't killed by Lu Jiajun, but was killed by Ryukyu, this is a dead nest even if he dies, it's just a dead eye.
Zhao Ling fled in a hurry, and finally fought his way out, naturally he did not prepare much food, grass and weapons, and saw that the soldiers adrift at sea could not eat or even have much water, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would collapse without a fight, so he decided to take a dangerous move to go to North Korea. North Korea is the name given by Zhu Yuanzhang, which means that the DPRK and Japan clearly govern the country. This land was once called Goguryeo, Goryeo, Liaoguan and so on, Zhao Ling went to this time is a helpless move, there is no way to escape can only go there, the other is God bless Korea, as if it is a country that specifically restrains the Han people. Historically, whether it was the Han Dynasty or the powerful Sui and Tang dynasties, they had crusaded against Goryeo several times, no matter how many heroes were wielded, or how hard the iron cavalry and hard armor were, there were few victories, and most of them returned with a feather. Every time he conquered Goryeo, there would be war in the country, so Zhao Ling was desperate and superstitious that Goryeo could bring him good luck.
Although the times are different now, and the Lu family is ahead of the neighbors, Zhao Ling expects that he will devote himself to the account of the king of Joseon, and then slowly figure it out, and one day turn the tables around. Even if it doesn't work, it can be regarded as a foot on land, which can replenish the most deadly fresh water, otherwise it will be defeated without a fight and die of dehydration. When Lu Bing heard the news, he immediately ordered the Lu family soldiers to divide into two routes, and the 50,000 sailors took the opportunity to conquer Goryeo, on the grounds that they took Zhao Ling in. and ordered Zhao Ling to enter the country, Zhao Ling was not afraid of running away, and it was in the greater interest to take the opportunity to defeat Goryeo.
Lu Bing walked around the Jinluan Hall excitedly, waved his fist and said: "Fight for the Japanese and conquer Goryeo, if Goguryeo is not eliminated, the future generations will be in great trouble!" Tang Taizong Li Shimin, what you didn't finish, I Lu Bing did it for you, hahahaha. ”
Originally, Zhao Ling thought that the Lu family was just sharp artillery, and his improved ships were far superior to the Lu family, although the combat ability was not good, but the action was super fast, so the Lu family never caught up with him. But since the Lu family received the order, the steam was at full power, riding the wind and waves, and they actually caught up with Zhao Ling first. Zhao Ling was shocked and accelerated his escape to North Korea, and Lu Jiajun slowed him down elusively.
Zhao Ling hated Lu Jiajun's fierce pursuit, but he was terrified, seeing that he had entered the territory of North Korea, Lu Jiajun slowed down again, but he was afraid that Lu Jiajun could not enter other people's territory without reason because he did not receive an order, provoking contradictions between countries, and he was afraid of disobeying military orders before stopping. So Zhao Ling set foot on the territory of North Korea safely, and in the face of the Korean army, he wrote a letter, in which he denounced the vicious behavior of the Lu family, and sincerely asked to be willing to join North Korea, and was willing to be driven to help the king of North Korea to achieve great causes.
