Chapter 204: Worship Big Brother for Safety!
"What a nice day!" Wang Ze looked up at the sunrise on the eastern sea with his hands behind his back, only to see a round of red sun gradually rising from the sea, it is rare that there is no big wind and waves on the sea, and the sparkling water waves reflect thousands of pieces of red glow, but there is also a beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of waves.
It would be nice if Qingqing and Xueyan were here, but it was a very romantic moment, Wang Ze suddenly remembered that he was taking Feng Fu to study in the Jeju Island Academy, since Wang Ze was busy waging war against the Japanese State, Cheng Xueyan and Zhu Qingqing returned to their university hall on Jeju Island.
Although the younger brother Feng Fu was ordered by Wang Ze not to participate in the war, Feng Fu was reluctant to leave the East China Sea for a while, so Wang Ze arranged for Feng Fu to follow him to the university hall on Jeju Island to experience and study.
"Little Marquis, everyone has handed over the money, food and materials shipped from Baekje, can we set off now!" Just when Wang Ze was thinking a lot, Sun Xing walked quickly to Wang Ze's side and whispered, with a bright smile on his face.
For the last statistics of the harvest after harvesting from Baekje this time, even Sun Xing, who is accustomed to seeing the world, is particularly staggering, and what makes Sun Xing even happier is that Wang Ze promised that all the generals who participated in the war and all the soldiers would have a certain share.
Sun Xing, who had also made several trips to the merchant fleet before, estimated that he could receive a large amount of income alone, and each sailor soldier could get a harvest worth at least one hundred silver coins.
Speaking of which, the average income of the sailor soldiers is higher than that of the infantry soldiers, not only the salary is higher, but these sailor soldiers can sell some rare fish and shark fins cut by sharks at sea on weekdays, and half of the profits obtained by these people must be owned by the collective.
Of course, Wang Ze absolutely did not allow the navy to use warships to sell goods, which would not only lead to corruption, but also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the navy.
"All ready?"
Hearing this, Wang Ze turned to look at the huge fleet of ships heading in the direction of Jeju Island in front of him, the fleet consisted of at least hundreds of large and small ships, and even some fishing boats, which were loaded with a large amount of supplies, as well as the young and strong people who had looted from Baekje.
This is the last fleet to transport goods from Baekje, and the scale of the fleet that transported supplies on the previous dozen trips is even larger than this time, "Since everything has been handed over, let's go to Silla again to make a fortune, and it is estimated that the sixth brother of Qu should almost arrive in Jincheng!" ”
Since Wang Ze plundered Sihyun City, he sent an order to Qu Liulang's naval army, so that they could also cooperate with the upcoming war against Silla, after all, the current Wa Kingdom has no own naval army, and the remnants of the Wa State are even more oppressed to a small place such as the Great River Basin and the Kii Peninsula, and Qu Liulang's stay in the Wa Kingdom is also a waste of troops.
"Okay, we have to hurry, otherwise Silla Ke will be robbed by Qu Liulang!" Sun Xing joked, after all, his own naval army had already robbed Baekje, although Du Sheng and Zong Li were also the generals of the naval army under Qu Liulang, but they also had to let Qu Liulang get some military exploits, and the benefits could not be obtained alone.
Wang Ze smiled and said, "Uncle Sun is joking, but no matter how much Silla robs it, we have our share, so you can rest assured!" "Wang Ze's plan is for Qu Liulang and Sun Xing to attack Silla in the east and south, so that they can grab some good things as much as possible.
When Sun Xing heard this, he immediately agreed to command the navy, leaving Wang Ze alone on the deck, and Liu Wancheng was staying among the soldiers of the ironclad army, constantly urging the soldiers to check their armor and weapons.
Ever since they came to Jeju Island to participate in the Great War on the battlefield of the Wa Kingdom, and then went to Baekje, the weapons and armor of the Ironclad soldiers have never had time to be maintained, which is very dangerous for the Ironclad soldiers who are known as the 'battlefield opener'.
The maintenance and maintenance of the ironclad soldiers' horse-chopping giant sword and ironclad need to be very careful, as long as the ironclad does not fit or the armor is deformed or cracked, it must be repaired or even rebuilt.
Because of the need to chop and chop, the horse slashing giant sword is more prone to population collapse, and it is necessary to pay attention at any time, and decide whether to temporarily flash the fire or send it back to the arsenal to plate steel according to the situation of each horse slashing sword.
Ji Xiang, the cavalry captain, went down to the bottom of the cabin where the war horses were transported, to check the situation of the war horses held there, and it was said that over the years, this batch of war horses under Wang Ze's command had been transported by ships, and they had almost completely adapted to the environment at sea.
Although the number of hundreds of warships is not very large, because there are dozens of whale shark-class warships inside, the tall sails seem to cover the sky and the sun, and from time to time you can see daring sailors sliding down the high masts down the cable to the deck below.
"Da Lang, won't Captain Zongdu go to Silla with us?" Wang Ze couldn't tell that this was Zhu Bofu's voice without looking back, and listening to the footsteps, I was afraid that Cheng Hu came with him.
When Wang Ze looked back, sure enough, the two of them were there, but there was also Yan Xiaowu, when he saw Wang Ze, Yan Xiaowu smiled shyly, and there was a trace of the youthfulness when Wang Ze first saw him, but in the previous battles, Yan Xiaowu completely understood the true meaning of the White Wolf Battalion cavalry as a light horse, and his command level improved rapidly.
This time, Wang Ze led his army to attack Silla, and only Sun Xing and Du Sheng went to attack together, but the naval army of Jong Ri remained on the west coast of Baekje and continued to attack all parts of the Baekje coast, and destroyed it as soon as it found signs of recovery of Baekje's water power.
"Captain Zongdu is not in a good mood, so I will let him stay on the coast of Baekje and continue the attack, but whenever a Baekje ship goes to sea, he will be sunk and destroyed, as long as he sees that Baekje wants to open a shipyard, Zongli will be completely destroyed!" Wang Ze sneered.
This time it was to completely destroy Baekje's maritime power, and the province would have other thoughts in the future, of course, another reason that made Wang Ze angry was that after the Xiao Yu Rebellion and the attack of the Baekje Silla coalition this time, the people on Jeju Island were no longer so confident in the safety of Jeju Island.
Although Wang Ze's side won the greatest victories on both occasions, there were still a large number of people who were ready to move to other islands in the East China Sea, most of them applied to move to Pingmachuan (Kanto Plain), and many people applied to move to Whale Island and Sakhalin Island.
This is also in line with Wang Ze's stipulation that as long as they move to places such as Whale Island and Sakhalin Island, the original land on Jeju Island can be exchanged for one for two, so that the original 350 acres of land of the people on Jeju Island will directly double.
In addition, Jeju Island is basically a pasture-based, and Whale Island and Sakhalin Island can not only be used as pastures, but the island can also grow crops for one season, and the soil quality is actually more fertile, except for the cold weather, the conditions are actually better than that of Jeju Island.
Although it is a good thing that a large number of people have applied to move to Whale Island and Sakhalin Island, where the number of people was relatively small, it is not a good thing that more than half of the people have lost more than half of the people at once as the first county in the East China Sea to enter the formal county administration.
Therefore, it is understandable that Wang Ze is angry.
Although after attacking Baekje, Wang Ze found that there was a lot of information that showed that it was very likely that Goguryeo sent a naval army to attack his own migrant ships under the guise of Baekje naval forces.
However, even if this is the case, Baekje is still not worthy of forgiveness, Wang Ze wants to completely destroy Baekje's seafaring career, and Jongri, who has always gritted his teeth at the Baekje people, is obviously a good candidate.
For Silla, which had a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty, in fact, Wang Ze hated this rogue country even more, because the sticks of later generations were basically developed from Silla, and it was simply an insult to all creatures on the earth for this kind of country to continue to exist in the world.
I remember that there is a saying that sooner or later China will be ruined by the stick and the Wa country, the stick used Korean dramas to destroy Chinese women, and the Wa people used women to destroy Chinese men.
Therefore, Wang Ze decided to follow the example of the stick army that participated in the Nanjing Massacre in later generations, and even more painfully dealt a dead hand to Silla, not only leaving nothing behind, but leaving no chickens and dogs after the army.
In August of the third year of the summer calendar, it is a good time to approach the Mid-Autumn Festival, not only the Central Plains countries will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but even Baekje, Silla, and even Goguryeo, which were influenced by the Han civilization, will arrange certain programs to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, in addition to some activities in Goguryeo in the countries of the East China Sea this year, where do Baekje and Silla still have the heart to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is good to be able to escape with their lives.
On an island outside the mouth of the Nakdong River, Wang Ze's army spent a special Mid-Autumn Festival, and the army went straight to Jinshan Castle at the mouth of the Nakdong River. Let's look for books
Located at the mouth of the Nakdong River, Geumsan Fortress was a port city facing the Wa Kingdom and Baekje because it was a transit point for river and sea transportation, and it was said that Silla was a rich city second only to Geumseong, but when Wang Ze's army arrived, it was already an empty city.
It wasn't until a day later that Wang Ze learned through a large number of scouts sent out that the large area east of the Nakdong River had almost become a blank land, and the Silla people had evacuated all the people in the towns and villages here, but the people on the other side of the Nakdong River did not seem to know anything.
"Hey, is this the Silla people asking me to get some benefits and leave?" Wang Zemo rubbed his chin, which already had a slight beard, and thought carefully, could it be that the Silla people still have any conspiracy?
"Da Lang, we don't care if they conspire or not, as long as we have so many troops, are we afraid that the Silla people will not succeed in any conspiracy?" Zhu Bofu was a little disdainful of Silla's move, and even gave up a large number of his own people to be plundered by the enemy, what kind of thing is this!
At this time, Ji Xiang spoke: "Little Marquis, there are large plains along the Luodong River in Silla, which is just right for our cavalry to gallop, or I will lead the cavalry to reconnoiter around first, so that we can see if there is a large army of Silla people lurking around!" ”
Ji Xiang's voice did not fall, Yan Xiaowu, Cheng Hu, and Zhang Hang all nodded, after all, it is good for Lao Cheng to be more serious, and now the terrain along the river in the south of Silla is suitable for cavalry, even if he encounters Silla ambush, he does not have to be afraid that he will not be able to escape.
Wang Ze lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his head and said to Ji Xiang: "Captain Ji, you lead the cavalry of your department to explore one hundred and twenty miles north along the east bank of the Luodong River to see if there are any enemy troops lurking, and you also send a team of cavalry to the east all the way to Jincheng, to see if Qu Liulang has arrived there, and pay attention to whether there are ambushes along the way!" ”
Wang Ze was worried that if Silla took out the troops here to make an empty plan, and then gathered all his forces to deal with Qu Liulang, then if Qu Liulang was not careful, he would probably suffer a big loss.
After sending off Ji Xiang's cavalry, Wang Ze stood up and said to Zhang Hang, Liu Wancheng and the White Wolf Camp beside him: "Okay, Ji Xiang will go and see what medicine is sold in the gourd of the Silla people, and let's go and accept the big gift given to us by the Silla people!" ”
After that, Wang Ze Zhengse ordered: "Zhu Bofu and Yan Tieyi, the two of you are divided into two roads in the south and one in the north to check if there is a Silla army along the way, Zhang Hang and Liu Wancheng, you two follow me all the way to sweep along the way, and you must not let one of you slip through the net!" ”
There are at least two or three hundred thousand original Muhan people living in the Dakyaya area west of the Nakdong River, and after replacing Muhan from Kaba, this was originally an independent area, and later because of the special interests of the Wa State here, it gradually became the colonial government of the Wa State here, but the original Kaye regime is still retained.
In the original history, it was not until ten years later that Silla took away the Dagagya region from the hands of the Wa Kingdom, and as a result, he was surrounded and beaten by Goguryeo, Baekje, Wa and other countries, and it was not until he hugged the thigh of the Tang Dynasty that he avoided the end of being destroyed.
But now, because the Wa Kingdom was flattened by Wang Ze in advance, and the national strength was greatly damaged, Silla took the opportunity to annex Dagaya and incorporated it into his own territory, but because the time was too short, Dagaya still had a large number of armed organizations that spontaneously resisted Silla.
After the Nakdong River is located in the mouth of the river for dozens of miles to the north, this section of the river begins to flow east-west, and one hundred and ten miles to the west is Jinju Fortress, the center of the Great Gaye, and it is also the richest place in the entire Gaye area.
With the cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion spying on the enemy in front, and Cheng Hu echoing left and right in the middle, Wang Ze's army, which followed closely behind, followed by Luodong and killed the hinterland of Jiaye.
Villages and towns were reduced to rubble, and countless young men and women were escorted to a camp set up on an island near the mouth of the Nakdong River, where people from various islands in the East China Sea were responsible for transporting the slaves and people.
Since tasting the sweetness of Baekje, people from all over the East China Sea have been eager to participate in this kind of conscription, and if it is not for the government to recruit them to participate, I am afraid that even more people will come.
When Wang Ze's army swept through the Dagaya region, Qu Liulang led a naval army, and together with a part of the militia of Jeju Island and Jinjin, they also attacked Jinseong, which had been effectively abandoned by Silla.
Although most of the high-ranking officials and some wealthy families of Silla have withdrawn, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city who remain here, plus a large number of people who have not yet had time to evacuate, Qu Liulang's army has also gained a lot along the way, and Qu Liulang is only happy to shout that Sun Xing is interesting.
In the past few months of the Mid-Autumn Period, the armies of Wang Ze and Qu Liulang swept almost all the villages and towns within dozens of miles along the southern coast of Silla, and Wang Ze went deep into the territory of Silla along the Nakdong River for hundreds of miles.
If it weren't for the fact that the Silla people kept setting fire boats downstream from the upstream, and Wang Ze's big ships could no longer go deeper, and the small boats could not resist the Silla people's fire boats, Wang Ze would have to further attack the interior of Silla.
Even so, the losses suffered by Silla were far beyond the bottom line of King Jinheung's heart, and a large number of Silla people were unwilling to leave their villages, and as a result, they became the spoils of Wang Ze's army, and were driven to large ships with their hands tied like cattle and sheep.
King Jinheung, who had hid in Andong Castle north of Silla in advance, looked at the urgent documents sent from all over the country, and his heart burned like a fire, but in the face of the unscrupulous attack and plundering of Wang Ze's army, Silla, who had been greatly injured, was really unable to resist!
originally expected Wang Ze to retreat after robbing the Great Jiaye, but Wang Ze has always kicked his nose in the face, and even continued to lead the army to attack northward, not to mention Jinzhou, which plundered the Great Jiaye, but also led the army to the higher north Gaoyun City.
A large group of old ministers gathered in King Jinheung's room and looked at King Jinheung with blank eyes, hoping that this wise king, who had gradually led Baekje to become strong, would make a good decision again.
King Zhenxing walked around in his study, and finally there was only a helpless sigh, he looked at the old minister with a long white beard and said, "The old man went to reply to the Goguryeo envoy, and said that I agreed to their request!" ”
It turned out that Goguryeo also began to loot after Wang Ze's army invaded Silla, and proposed to Silla that if it wanted to send reinforcements itself, it would have to cede a large area of land north of the Namhan River, which was also taken from Goguryeo by Silla and Baekje in the past.
At first, King Zhenxing resolutely refused to agree to this request, but in the face of the aggressive offensive posture of Wang Ze's army, he could only reluctantly agree to Goguryeo's request.
Just when Wang Ze led his army not far from Gaoyun City, Goguryeo's cavalry forwards began to appear nearby, and Wang Ze immediately knew that Goguryeo, as the overlord of the East China Sea, was intervening in the situation on the peninsula.
Because the terrain in southern Silla was very suitable for cavalry warfare, Wang Ze did not dare to continue the attack too presumptuously, so he no longer continued to attack Gounseong, but began to plunder all the nearby Silla towns.
The Goguryeo cavalry, perhaps for the purpose of deepening the hatred between Wang Ze and Silla, did not pay attention to Wang Ze's plunder, except for a slight exchange between Ji Xiang's troops and the Goguryeo forward cavalry, the two sides have maintained a peaceful confrontation.
In this way, Wang Ze retreated while retracting, and Goguryeo had always maintained a tacit understanding to keep a distance of fifty miles from Wang Ze's army and slowly move forward, until Wang Ze completely withdrew from Silla proper, and the Goguryeo soldiers did not continue to advance.
Seeing that Silla worshiped the eldest brother, and the Goguryeo eldest brother also took action to protect Silla, and then Wang Ze quickly withdrew from the land of Silla, Baekje, who had always been very insecure, gritted his teeth and decided to speed up the rich land along the Han River in exchange for the protection of the Goguryeo elder brother, but he didn't know that as long as he didn't continue to develop the navy, Wang Ze didn't bother to pay attention to Baekje.
As Baekje also followed the steps of Silla and threw himself into Goguryeo, Goguryeo, as the overlord of the East China Sea, completely intervened in the southern forces of the peninsula and became the protectorate of Baekje and Silla.
This time in the face of Goguryeo's concession, it was not that Wang Ze was afraid of Goguryeo, nor did he just ignore the immigrants who were likely to be kidnapped by Goguryeo, and now Wang Ze didn't even know where these people were being held, so he had to let it go for the time being.
After all, but at this time, the Japanese country is still at war against the Japanese country, and after the Japanese country is completely solved and cleaned up, it is not too late to accumulate a few years of strength to clean up these countries again, and as for rescuing the people, they can only slowly find a way.
Therefore, under Wang Ze's order, Jong Li and Son Heung led their naval forces to continue to stay in the coast of Baekje and Silla to carry out continuous raids and disturbances, and it was necessary not to allow the two countries to restore their water power, and then Wang Ze led his army to Jeju Island.
