Chapter 500: The Chief's Decision [1 Update]
Chu Yi, who was sitting there, had already put down the scroll in his hand, one hand gently rubbed the jade wrench between his fingers, and the other hand gently tapped the table, and as soon as his eyes were fixed, he heard Chu Yi say in a deep voice: "Lin Pingzhi, drum and gather generals!" ”
Almost instinctively, Lin Pingzhi's whole person suddenly got up, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a little excitement in his mouth: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
Soon the dull drum sounded, and the soldiers who had already gathered their men and horses and returned to the barracks all looked in the direction from which the drum came when they heard the dull drum sound.
"The chief manager is beating the drums and gathering the generals? Could it be that something is going on? ”
Many generals stopped what they were doing the moment they heard the sound of the drums, and looked in the direction from which the drums came with puzzled expressions.
The sound of drums came, and all the famous generals rushed towards Chu Yi's mansion as fast as they could.
Now the mansion where Chu Yi lives is an annex belonging to the Dongying royal family, although it is said that the rights of the Dongying royal family are hollowed out by the shogunate, but it is also a puppet mascot pushed out by the shogunate, at least in terms of living environment, the shogunate is not too harsh on the royal family, and this royal palace is very elegantly built.
However, at this moment, a member of the general who was full of anger strode into the courtyard, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen generals to gather in the hall.
Everyone came to this hall, greeting each other, and at the same time inquiring about the news, after all, they were very curious, what was the matter with Chu Yi beating the drums.
However, the news that Iwami Port was attacked by the Portuguese fleet was only known to a few people such as Chu Yi and Lin Pingzhi at this time, and the others, even including Deputy Marshal Lu Dazhu and Zhai Luan, did not know.
In this case, everyone was at a loss in their hearts, and they didn't know why Chu Yi had suddenly summoned them over.
As more and more generals arrived, everyone talked about it, and many generals simply guessed that the reason why Chu Yi suddenly summoned them to come must be because Kyoto was captured, and those daimyo in Dongying realized the crisis and united together.
The reason why everyone has this kind of thinking is that they also treat others with themselves, after all, if they are in such a situation, they will definitely leave all their prejudices and unite to deal with a strong enemy first.
Lu Dazhu, Zhai Luan and several other generals sat there squinting their eyes, but they didn't speak, after all, their identities were there, at this time, they didn't know Chu Yi's intentions, as a senior in the army, it was naturally better not to speak.
Almost all the generals in the army rushed over in the hall, and it can be said that all those who could come rushed came, and the few who did not come were also because of military affairs.
"Your Highness has arrived!"
With Lin Ping's shout, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes looked towards the entrance of the hall in unison, and they saw Chu Yi, who was dressed in a python suit, striding over.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Yi walked into the hall, then walked to the front of the main seat, turned around and sat down.
"The last general will wait to meet His Highness, His Highness Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
Waving his hand slightly, Chu Yi's gaze swept over the generals and said lightly: "Don't be formal, let's sit down!" ”
After they all sat down, everyone's eyes naturally fell on Chu Yi's body, and their eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.
As the deputy marshal of the army, Lu Dazhu was the first to speak to Chu Yi and said, "Your Highness, could it be that the local daimyo of Dongying united and came to King Qin?" ”
Saying that, Lu Dazhu grinned and said: "Although Your Highness is in this Kyoto City, the last general only needs to lead 50,000 troops to defeat the coalition forces of those local daimyos......"
Just when Lu Dazhu was bragging there, Zhai Luan, who was sitting on the side, coughed lightly, interrupted Lu Dazhu's boasting and saluted Chu Yi, and said solemnly: "Your Highness must have something important to summon me and others to come, General Lu should listen to what His Highness has to say!" ”
Although he was interrupted by Zhai Luan, Lu Dazhu did not rise, but just muttered: "Except for those big names, what else is there in this Dongying that is worthy of such a revival of the people?" ”
However, although he muttered in his mouth, Lu Dazhu still stopped and looked at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi swept over the crowd, and said slowly with a little coldness in his eyes: "I think everyone is curious, what is the purpose of this king's general?" ”
No one spoke, but just look at the reactions of the crowd to know everyone's psychology.
Chu Yi said slowly: "Not long ago, this king received a letter from General Qi Jingtong asking for help......
"What? Did something happen to Iwami Port? ”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, what Iwami Port meant to everyone, but everyone knew it very well in their hearts.
Iwami Port can be said to be the place where a group of people landed in Dongying, and naturally has a deep impression of Iwami Port, although now that the army has landed, and even the Daming Navy Division not only occupies a port in Iwami Port, but Iwami Port is still responsible for the grain and straw transfer of hundreds of thousands of troops, which is equivalent to a large rear for hundreds of thousands of troops.
If there is something wrong with Iwami Port, although it will not be said that hundreds of thousands of people will be cut off from food, it will also have an impact to a certain extent, and it can even be said that if the news of the Iwami Port accident spreads, it will even affect the stability of the military to a certain extent.
After all, these high-ranking generals in the army knew that as the Ming Dynasty occupied Dongying for a long time, they occupied more and more ports, and the status of Iwami Port became more and more unimportant, but for those soldiers who didn't know the general trend, they didn't know this.
In the hearts of most soldiers, Iwami Port is their rear, which is related to the stability of the army's food and grass, and once the news of Iwami's birth spreads, there will be some chaos in large and small.
Lu Dazhu, Zhai Luan and other generals all showed a look of surprise on their faces.
Although the defensive strength of Iwami Port is not very strong, it cannot be said to be weak.
With two new-style warships and 2,000 elite soldiers, even if the Japanese invade together, it is impossible to endanger Iwami Port.
Besides, although Qi Jingtong is not the kind of fierce general who fights and rushes, he is very stable and reliable, and he acts calmly and methodically, and he is a good general. That's why Chu Yi appointed Qi Jingtong to sit in Iwami Port, and what he asked for was that Qi Jingtong could ensure the stability of Iwamiko.
And Qi Jingtong also lived up to expectations, in the past half a year, Qi Jingtong stabilized the situation of Iwami Country, took care of Iwami Port in an orderly manner, and also ensured that Iwami Silver Mountain continuously produced millions of taels of silver every month.
If it weren't for the fact that Iwami Port was really in danger, Qi Jingtong, who had always been calm, would definitely not send someone for help.
But everyone was very curious about who could endanger Iwami Port and force Qi Jingtong to ask for help.
"Your Highness, who is the sacred, who dares to be the enemy of my Ming Dynasty, does it mean that they don't know that Iwami Port is the place occupied by my Ming Dynasty?"
At this time, because of Chu Yi, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty not only did not decline day by day, but had the light of Zhongxing, suppressed the rebels internally, and destroyed the strong enemies of foreign races externally, even if it was the former Taizu and Chengzu.
The national strength is strong, these generals are naturally very high-spirited, in their hearts, the Ming Dynasty is the center of the world, the Ming Empire when all countries come to the dynasty, anyone who dares to touch the tiger beard of the Ming Dynasty, although far away will be punished.
Looking at the high-spirited fighting spirit on the faces of the generals, Chu Yi said slowly: "Dozens of ships are coming from the west, at this moment, Iwami Port is afraid that it has fallen to the enemy, I intend to lead the army to meet these Xiyi people for a while, I don't know who wants to sit here, in case the local daimyo of Dongying counterattack!" ”
Lu Dazhu said: "The people of Xiyi, His Royal Highness He Lao will go in person, and the last general is willing to mention the tiger and destroy this dynasty food!" ”
A bright light flashed in Zhai Luan's eyes on the side, and he coughed lightly and said to Lu Dazhu: "General Lu is the commander of the army, he should be the commander of the army, sit in Kyoto, and share the worries of His Highness." ”
Lu Dazhu was slightly stunned, and suddenly reacted, and stared at Zhai Luan with wide eyes, his beard shook angrily, because at this moment Zhai Luan was facing Chu Yi and said: "Your Highness, I think that General Lu is the most suitable candidate for the person to sit in Kyoto." ”
When Chu Yi spoke, Zhai Luan realized that Chu Yi must have made up his mind, in this case, it was obviously impossible for Chu Yi to change his mind, so it was certain that the candidate who would replace Chu Yi to stay in Kyoto was actually very clear.
There are two deputy commanders in the army, one is he Zhai Luan, and the other is Lu Dazhu, so the candidate who stayed behind must be selected from the two of them.
Since Zhai Luan didn't want to stay in Kyoto, he naturally wanted to find a way to let Lu Dazhu stay.
Lu Dazhu blew his beard and glared at Zhai Luan, and shouted: "Okay, you Zhai Luan, why don't you say that you are more suitable to stay!" ”
I only heard Chu Yi cough lightly and said to Lu Dazhu: "General Lu, your bravery and martial arts are the best of the three armies, with you in town, this king can also rest assured, if you lead the army to sit in Kyoto, in case of the Dongying coalition army." ”
In fact, there is no need for Zhai Luan to say anything, Chu Yi has already selected Lu Dazhu as the candidate to stay behind, compared to Zhai Luan's mediocre strength, stronger than the general, although Lu Dazhu is better than force, but Chu Yi has to take into account that Dongying's people are not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, so they have to engage in some unsightly means, in this case, even if the congenital strong person makes a move, it may not be able to Lu Dazhu's safety.
Hearing Chu Yi say this, although Lu Dazhu said that he was quite reluctant in his heart, he still saluted Chu Yi, hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
Then Chu Yi set his eyes on the generals present, since the boss who stayed behind had been arranged, then Chu Yi naturally wanted to select a few generals to go to Iwami Port with him, so when he noticed Chu Yi's gaze, all the generals straightened their backs and looked at Chu Yi with expectation.
