Chapter 146: First Chop and Then Prelude, Imperial Power Concession, Governor General Military
After Li Jin received Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, he went straight to the point and asked, wanting to know what the emperor meant.
To fight or not to fight this battle?
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Jin's question, his eyes widened and he said:
"The tragedy in the southeast, how can the emperor be indifferent?"
"The emperor's meaning is naturally a thunderous blow to wipe out all these widows and break the corpses into thousands of pieces."
"However, the emperor thinks that you know more about maritime affairs, so he specially asked us to ask your opinion."
Xu Da hurriedly gave Li Jin a look on the side, hoping that Li Jin could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang well, so that Zhu Yuanzhang would stop the idea of making a big move.
At least another three months will have to be waited for, and then a little more time will be given to the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
Who knew that Li Jin's words directly broke Xu Da's defense.
"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"
Li Jin's face was cold, and he added:
"What's more, these robbers dare to kill my Ming people, and they should be punished by the world!"
"If the emperor has an order, I will immediately lead 3,000 elite soldiers, go straight to Huanglong, and wipe out all these widows."
"Three thousand?"
Not only Xu Da, but even Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were slightly wrinkled.
What he meant was to let Xu Da take 20,000 elites of the Beijing camp and give the Japanese Kou a thunderous blow with the momentum of Mount Tai.
When the time comes, even if you can't win, at least you won't lose too badly.
But now, Li Jin actually wanted to take 3,000 people, so he took the initiative to attack, which was really too child's play.
Zhu Biao next to him immediately couldn't sit still, and said loudly:
"Master Li, do you know the details of the Japanese Invaders?"
"Do you know how many of them there are? And how many ships are there? ”
"I don't know."
Li Jin shook his head, and then said:
"But these widows, I regard them as local chickens and dogs, and they are the ones who sell their heads, what are you afraid of?"
"I have three thousand tigers under my command, and I will be able to kill all these robbers in one fell swoop."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know where Li Jin got the courage, but he couldn't watch Li Jin mess around, so he said directly:
"No, 3,000 is too little."
"There are 20,000 people in your naval base, and you have to take them all."
"The soldiers are fine, not the many."
"These 3,000 men are the most elite units in the navy, and the other soldiers have not yet fully adapted to war at sea."
"Even if you bring them, it's a burden, it's better to travel light."
Li Jin was full of confidence, looking like he was in his chest, and said:
"Soldiers, treacherous."
"Now that the Japanese have just succeeded in plundering the Ming Dynasty, it is the time to be complacent."
"At this moment, they would never have thought that there would be an elite fleet to raid their base camp."
"While they are arrogant, I strike a sudden blow, and the Japanese must be defenseless."
"Presumably, you can definitely win a big victory and avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Jin said that the head was the Tao, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were still not at ease.
After all, the Japanese around the Ming Dynasty have grown stronger and stronger in recent years, and the number is at least about 80,000.
Li Jin has only 3,000 people, how can he be exterminated, such a big force?
Besides, Xu Da brought Zhu Yuanzhang here to let Li Jin persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to send troops.
Now Li Jin is even more radical than Zhu Yuanzhang, not only to send troops, but also to send troops with only 3,000 people, which is simply appalling.
Xu Da shook his head in denial and said:
"No, I think it's better to wait for the 20,000 Beijing battalion soldiers to complete their training before attacking the Japanese again."
"In this way, there is no need to take risks, and with dignified soldiers, crush the Japanese invaders head-on, this is the royal way."
Xu Da still wants to overwhelm people with power, and after so many years of battlefield polishing, he has long realized the easiest way to achieve victory.
That is to suppress people with power, no matter how you have bells and whistles, I will be able to win with the power of power.
Any skill, in the face of absolute strength, can only be futile.
Zhu Biao also agrees with Xu Da's method, after all, Xu Da's method is the most reliable and safest.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's face next to him is not good-looking, doesn't he know that the general trend oppresses people, and he wins with a coincidence? But now that the situation is like this, he can't do anything about it.
Li Jin had the same idea before, but after receiving the information from the Japanese Kou, he changed his mind.
"We can afford to wait, but the people can't afford to wait."
"According to reliable sources, the Japanese may soon launch a second invasion."
"Next, there is a high probability that there will be a third or fourth invasion, no one can say."
"What? Are you telling the truth? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't expect that the would-be would-be wouldn't dare to launch a surprise attack again.
Before, he had only guessed that with his keen intuition, he thought that the Japanese might be dispatched again.
But intuition is an ethereal thing after all, and it can't be taken out, and it is difficult to convince Xu Da.
It's even more like a fluke, because intuition isn't really something that happens.
But now Li Jin directly took out the evidence that the Japanese invaded the Japanese again, which completely strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to send troops.
When Xu Da and Zhu Biao heard this, they also fell silent.
It is impossible for them not to know the result of the Japanese invasion again, and the reason why they wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to send troops before was because they were still holding on to luck.
But once this mentality is completely broken, the only thing left is to send troops.
Otherwise, the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be killed again by the Japanese invaders, which is a consequence that no one wants to see.
"It's true!"
Li Jin took out a white cloth from his sleeve, the handwriting on it was very sloppy, and the preface did not match the afterword.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand what is written on it, but Li Jin can naturally understand it.
Because this is actually a secret letter, according to a unique combination method, the content of the secret letter is filtered out, and the conclusion of the news is that the Japanese want to send troops again.
"This is the news from my work on the Japanese side."
"The last time he sent troops, he went undercover and didn't receive any news."
"This time, the Japanese who are entrenched in the southeast coast of Daming may all move."
"These people were stimulated by the successful raids of the last time, and they were afraid that they would respond in groups, and at that time, it would be a disaster for the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, these damn widows can be said to make him hate them to the core.
Now in his heart, the first force that should be destroyed is no longer the Mongols, but the Japanese Kou!
These widows are like flies, once they see that they are profitable, they will rush up in a swarm, and they can't get rid of them, which really disgusts Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Li Jin, we order you to prepare to send troops immediately."
"Before the emperor came, he told us that we must stop the second invasion of the Japanese invaders."
"The people of Daming are still in the process of moving inward, but it will take time."
"If these beasts are allowed to invade the interior again, these people who have no time to move away will definitely be wiped out."
Li Jin's gaze turned to Lan Yu, the three thousand elite Yiwu soldiers were the elite soldiers that Li Jin trained at the beginning.
These people Li Jin is still relatively confident.
Under Li Jin's teaching, these people are not only proficient in water, but also extremely proficient in firecrackers and artillery.
Although Li Jin is not completely sure of this expedition, he can at least have more than sixty percent.
After all, what Li Jin wanted to attack this time was only a handful of Japanese pirates, not a real decisive battle with the Japanese pirates.
Lan Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Li Jin looking at herself, saying so much, in the end, she didn't want to let herself go?
"Without further ado, I will immediately lead my troops to set off, and strive to strike at a group of Japanese bandits as soon as possible, attract their attention, and let the people evacuate safely."
Lan Yu clenched his fist at Zhu Yuanzhang, as a war maniac, Lan Yu is very keen on any war.
Especially this kind of extermination of foreign races, it made his blood boil.
Even if he knew that this victory was unpredictable, Lan Yu would have to fight this battle.
As a famous warrior of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu lives up to his name.
Lan Yu has been training on this Zhoushan Island for so many days, and she has long been screaming, and now she finally has the opportunity to release the depression in her heart, so she naturally can't ask for it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was glared at him and shouted:
"You kid only understands land warfare, what do you know about naval warfare?"
"In this battle, Li must enter and exit the horse, otherwise we will not worry!"
When Lan Yu heard this, his face was immediately unconvinced, and he said:
"Li Jin is just a literati, how can he be on the battlefield without the power to restrain the chicken?"
"Only if I play in this battle can I have any hope of winning!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of disdain, and he didn't pay attention to Lan Yu at all.
In his impression, Lan Yu is just a reckless man, although he is indeed fierce, but he does not rely on his brains to fight, but only relies on his own blood bravery.
To put it bluntly, it's okay for blue jade to charge into battle, but it's not enough to command a large-scale army battle.
Of course, Li Jin is not qualified, but now there are basically no generals who understand naval warfare.
It can only be said that Li Jin is also a tall man among the short people, and Zhu Yuanzhang has no other candidates.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Jin with blazing eyes, and wanted Li Jin to personally lead the army to the battle.
Li Jin turned a blind eye.
This Lao Huang is really not authentic, he Li Jin is a dignified county magistrate and a civil official.
How can there be any military generals who don't need to let civilian officials charge into battle? Isn't this sending him to death?
Let him come up with ideas and ideas in the back, and talk about how to exterminate the Japanese bandits.
Now he even wants to let himself go into battle, is this what a literati should do?
Looking at his thin arms and legs, Li Jin only felt that Lao Huang wanted to kill him.
The atmosphere became silent for a while, and Zhu Yuanzhang stared straight at Li Jin, his eyes widening wider and wider, but he didn't say a word.
But Li Jin was looking left and right, as if he didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was getting redder and redder, Xu Da next to him sighed and said:
"I'd better go."
"No way!" 、
Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Jin opposed it in unison at this time.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Danai is his Great Wall, and his biggest role is not to exterminate the Japanese by himself.
Rather, it defended Mongolia in the north, Warat, Tatar and Mahamu in Liaodong.
Now that this naval battle is unpredictable, how could he let Xu Da go on an adventure!
Li Jin also thinks the same way, Xu Da must not go, in case of any accident, there will definitely be a big turmoil in the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, it was possible that he, Li Jin, would have to accompany Xu Da to the funeral.
"Wei Guogong strategized and won a thousand miles, he is the first general of the Ming Dynasty, why not?"
Lan Yu was upset for Xu Da.
Saying that he Lanyu is a reckless man, he admits it, and he is proud of it.
Don't let him lead the army, although there will be some complaints, but it's acceptable.
But not letting Xu Da lead the army to the battle, this makes Lan Yu unacceptable, you must know that Xu Da is in Lan Yu's heart, it is a Ming God of War like an existence.
Could it be that Li Jin, that hairy boy, is even more powerful than Xu Dashuai?
Lan Yu squinted at Li Jin, looking unconvinced.
Li Jin didn't take Lan Yu to heart at all, and said lightly:
"The outcome of this expedition is unpredictable, on the sea, once defeated, there is no place to escape, so the Duke of Wei must not personally take risks!"
"Wei Guogong, let's let the Marquis of Yongchang go in this battle!"
Lan Yu: ?!
What do you mean? Xu Da can't take risks in person, dare to love him Lan Yu can go?
This is not to take his Blue Jade General in his eyes!
was about to refute, but Zhu Yuanzhang next to him nodded in agreement:
"Of course, just one Yongchang Marquis is not enough, you also have to go with him."
Lan Yu wilted instantly, and his face was full of lovelessness.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was resolute, Li Jin sighed helplessly and said:
"It's okay to let me go, but I have to let the emperor personally make an order."
"Not only that, but I also want the sword of Shang Fang, supervise the whole army, and have the right to cut first and then play!"
When Li Jin said this, his eyes always looked at Lan Yu as if he were nothing.
Lan Yuden was furious, what do you mean? Is it aimed at me?
Besides, if you are dignified and eternal, do you still have to be controlled by a hairy child?
It's a joke!
The emperor will never agree to such a ridiculous request from you, just because you have never even been on the battlefield, and you still want to control the armies?
Lan Yu was arrogant, squinting at Li Jin with disdain, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang would never agree to such a ridiculous request.
With his hands on his shoulders, he was going to see Li Jin's jokes.
"Okay, let's promise you for the emperor!"
Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's next sentence almost didn't break Lan Yu's waist.
"Emperor.... Master Huang, this matter must not be done! ”
Lan Yu couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly spoke out, wanting to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang.
"How old is this Li Jincai? What qualifications does he have, holding the sword of Shang Fang, to supervise the whole army? ”
"Don't let him fool you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved, and said directly:
"You'd better pray that he's better than you, or you'll both fall into the sea together to feed the fish!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang left without looking back.
Time is urgent, and now he doesn't want to give Lan Yu nonsense.
The sooner he returns to Beijing, he can give an order to Li Jin as soon as possible, so that Li Jin can send troops as soon as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't want to see the people of the southeast again, innocently killed by the Japanese invaders.
As for awarding Li Jin Shangfang the sword, it is not how much Zhu Yuanzhang believes in Li Jin's command ability, but as a last resort.
Li Jin gave Zhu Yuanzhang a martial arts exercise at the military base before, which impressed Zhu Yuanzhang, but at this time, he could only put the bet on Li Jin.
If Lan Yu was allowed to lead his troops to sea, he felt that there was no hope, so it was better to gamble.
Li Jin has never done anything that he is not sure of, and now Li Jin is willing to send troops, which shows that Li Jin has a lot of confidence.
The matter is man-made, Zhu Yuanzhang now only hopes that Li Jin can drag the Japanese and give him time to transfer the coastal people.
