Chapter 34 arrives on the battlefield
The old man's last words and eyes made Zhu Di very puzzled, and when he returned to the mansion, he immediately told Yao Guangxiao.
I didn't think much about it, and the great monk sighed! "King Yan, Zhu Sang is not just to plunder Goryeo, it is estimated that he intends to make Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom both defeated, and then send troops to occupy Goryeo! At the same time, they can loot the silver grain! It can weaken the Wa Kingdom even more! It can be described as killing three birds with one stone! ”
"Him! This kid is really ambitious! can't let him occupy Goryeo, otherwise the Wa Kingdom, which has suffered serious losses, will not be able to stop him, and then the Ming Dynasty will be fine! That's why my father made this king take charge of the elite of Liaodong, which was to find an opportunity for this king to occupy Goryeo. As soon as the great monk said it, Zhu Di also completely understood.
But the great monk shook his head. "If King Yan occupies Goryeo, the emperor will inevitably ask for guilt! At that time, King Yan will be changed to King of Goryeo! ”
"It will even offend His Highness Zhu Sang! This Zhu Sang is a little weird! ”
Zhu Di frowned and nodded! "No matter what, if you can leave Jingshi, you can do it!"
"This Zhu Sang, this king will try not to conflict with him!" After speaking, Zhu Di couldn't help but be annoyed.
Thinking of the battle in Minghu Bay, Zhu Di was inexplicably flustered! This Zhu Sang does have a lot of mysterious methods, and when he was fledgling, King Yan didn't want to fight with him.
Yao Guangxiao was very satisfied with Zhu Di's forbearance. "Now King Yan's opponent is the grandson."
Zhu Di nodded silently, he must fight for this throne, otherwise his good nephew will not let him go.
…
In order to prevent things from changing, Zhu Sang also followed the main force of 50,000 to Liaodong.
Of the more than 50,000 troops, 40,000 were sailors, 3,000 cavalry among the 10,000 soldiers, the other 7,000 were veterans of the Beijing camp, and there were 1,000 Heavenly King Guards.
Knowing that it was personally led by Prince Zhusang, the coastal sailors and dock guards not only did not embarrass them, but even welcomed them.
However, Zhu Sang did not stay long, and at most he sailed for two or three days and then docked for half a day, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers could be maintained.
…
Daming Palace.
Seeing Jiang Xuan coming, Lao Zhu asked urgently. "Where's he?"
"Your Highness has left the Bohai Sea, and it is estimated that he has now contacted the Goryeo Naval Master!" Jiang Zhen reported immediately.
"On the Japanese side, only the daimyo of Kyushu Island participated, and there were barely more than 10,000 sailors and many pirates, but Kyushu Island also gathered nearly 10,000 samurai and 30,000 light foot soldiers!" Jiang Zhen reported again.
Hearing this, Lao Zhu was also amazed. "The small island of Kyushu can send 60,000 troops, and if other daimyo also dispatch, it will be hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"All parts of the country must be closely monitored! We must know in advance whether the Wa Kingdom will assemble on a large scale again! The more Lao Zhu spoke, the more serious he became.
"It's the emperor, the minister will immediately send more merchant ships!"
Jiang Zhen retreated, and Lao Zhu began to talk to himself again.
"If this rebel introduces hundreds of thousands of Japanese robbers to Goryeo! The Liaodong Army alone is not enough! ”
Thinking of building a fleet, Lao Zhu was even more distressed! Fortunately, I collected a few million taels of rebels before, otherwise the treasury would have been empty!
"Goryeo must not be ceded to the Wa Kingdom! Nor can I give it to this rebel! You have to prepare a little more! Shipbuilders and sailors can wait! ”
"I hope Li Chenggui won't be too wasteful!"
…
After the Japanese pirates and the navy divisions of the Kyushu daimyo assembled on Tsushima Island, Li Chenggui also hurriedly gathered the main force of 30,000 sailors and 20,000 soldiers in the Pusan area.
The one who commanded the armies was Li Chenggui's confidant Zhao Siyi.
"General, there are only about 20,000 sailors and pirates in the Japanese army, why don't you kill and occupy Tsushima Island." Vice General Park was originally the commander of more than 10,000 sailors in Busan, but as soon as Zhao Siyi came, he became the number three person.
Thinking that the domestic situation was not stable, Zhao Siyi immediately shook his head and refused. "If you want to take Tsushima, you can't do it with a sailor alone! The Japanese samurai are not easy to deal with! ”
Hum! Vice Admiral Park was secretly unhappy, but he didn't speak again.
At this time, the young general outside the door immediately came in and shouted. "The general and the king have a herald."
Zhao Siyi opened the herald letter and frowned after reading it! "Why did this Ming send 20,000 sailors over!"
"The general told me to wait and see." Vice Admiral Park shouted urgently.
Zhao Siyi couldn't refuse, although he was a general, he also needed to be consulted by the two lieutenants.
What will happen next will be a naval battle, and Adjutant General Park's words will have more say than the commander of 20,000 infantry.
After reading the letter, Vice Admiral Park immediately laughed. "Good! With the support of the Daming Water Division, this time we will definitely be able to eliminate this group of Japanese people. ”
However, Zhao Siyi was still puzzled. "The Japanese have been harassing the Ming Dynasty before, and they have never sent sailors on an expedition!"
Secretly smiling, Vice General Park immediately explained. "Years ago, the Daming Navy Division had eliminated the pirates and thousands of pirates in the East China Sea, and now they can also pull out their hands."
"The Japanese rarely go out head-on, and they won't have a chance after letting them go this time!" The more Admiral Park spoke, the more excited he became.
The other lieutenant also agreed to attack Tsushima Island, and after thinking about it, Zhao Siyi let go of the doubts in his heart.
After entering the coast of Goryeo, the fleet was divided into two, so the 20,000 sailors that the Goryeo people thought were actually more than 50,000.
After Zhou Hai and 20,000 sailors converged at the Goryeo Navy, the coalition forces began to go to Tsushima Island the next day.
When the enemy attacked, the Japanese naval division could only go to sea to engage in battle.
However, the ships of the island country are one size smaller than those of Goryeo, and they are two or three times larger than the Japanese sailors on the other side.
Shimazu Shengfan, the deputy marshal of the Japanese army, said in shock. "Zhu Sanbu won't betray the alliance again!"
Interim coach Otomo Yamataka glared at Shimazu and said coldly. "Distance yourself first!"
"If the Ryukyu Kingdom bombs again, we will agree to the alliance request of the South Sea pirates."
Nodding, Shimazu still said. "Don't go any further, first separate and go around in a circle, if the Ming army and sailors don't move, they will withdraw to Kyushu!"
"Good! Let's separate first. "Otomo Yamataka didn't refuse! Don't look at him unconvinced, in fact, he is also very panicked!
They separated before they got close to the Japanese people, which made Zhao Siyi incomprehensible.
"Oh no, they want to escape!" Vice Admiral Park shouted urgently.
"Then we will divide our forces to hunt them down."
The generals of Goryeo did not quite understand the movements of the Japanese invaders, but the generals of Zhou did understand very well.
However, he still waited until the Goryeo naval division changed before giving the order. "Accelerate and approach, throw all the fire dragons first."
"Honorable Order." The herald immediately ordered the standard-bearer to give the order.
The Ming army's sailors accelerated, and the Koreans didn't care at first.
However, after seeing their formation clearly, Zhao Siyi shouted urgently. "Daming Water Master, this is?"
"Not good! What are they going to do? ”
At this time, on the Ming warship, a fire suddenly broke out, and then dozens of long iron cylinders with tails flew quickly.
"It's a fire dragon! They're going to be! Vice Admiral Park shouted angrily.
Zhao Siyi hurriedly ordered. "Damn it, give the order to retreat!"
After several months, many of Zhu Sang's ideas for mass production were not successfully studied, but Zhu Sang also personally led craftsmen to make granular gunpowder, and then mixed it with solidified oil to make this simple and leaky rocket.
Although it is rudimentary, the range is more than one kilometer, and the accuracy is within twenty meters.
A few hundred meters didn't look close, but the fire dragon had already flown over in a roar.
Although a few exploded early, half of the fire dragons still landed on the ship of the Goryeo sailor!
