Chapter 169: This war crime is in Li Jin, and we will not tolerate it

Outside the tent.

After Li Jin left, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da with a calm face:

"According to Jinyiwei's confession, this landing operation was deliberately done by Li Jin."

"At that time, they encountered this gang of Japanese robbers at sea, but Li Jin did not attack."

"I'm going to put a long line to catch big fish, but looking at it now, Li Jin has messed up on his own."

"Three thousand soldiers went out on the expedition, and more than 1,000 were killed on the spot, and even our son and the Marquis of Yongchang have explained here."

"We plan to punish Li Jin's crimes after returning to the court, and you will be in charge of this navy."

"What do you think?"

Xu Da was silent, and an imperceptible embarrassment appeared on his face.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xu Da's appearance, he knew that Xu Da had other ideas, and asked:

"Do you have something unspeakable?"

Xu Da sighed lightly and said:

"Li Jin defeated the enemy with 3,000 people and more than 30,000 Japanese people, and the minister felt that this was not a sin, but a great achievement."

"And this naval unit led by Li Jin, the minister also saw their military appearance at the beginning, it is very orderly, and the training is extremely strict."

"The losses in this battle are so serious, I think there may be something else hidden."

"Why don't you ask Jinyiwei again, get more details, and think twice."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, not very happy, could it be that Xu Da didn't even believe himself.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang signaled behind him and asked him to come to the Jinyi Guard, who had been inserted in the navy, and report to himself and Xu Da in person.

Soon, a young wounded navy soldier who was honest and ordinary looked ordinary was summoned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I've seen..."

"Okay, no need to salute, our identity must be kept secret."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Jin Yiwei wanted to salute him, so he interrupted directly, and then said:

"Repeat all the causes and consequences of this battle."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da, meaning to let Xu Da listen carefully, whether Li Jin has merit or has a fault.

"Yes, we we're going to that night..."

With Jin Yiwei's description, anger appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, until the end, Zhu Yuanzhang directly said angrily:

"Li Jin let the tiger return to the mountain, he has to use his own shortcomings to attack his strengths, which is really stupid."

"How could we believe that Li Jin could be the coach and exterminate the Japanese invaders?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, but Xu Da looked thoughtful.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished scolding Li Jin, Xu Da turned his head to the brocade guard and asked:

"Are you saying that after Lan Yu landed at the port, he directly led his army to pursue the Japanese Kou?"

"Yes."

Seeing that it was Xu Da, Jinyi Wei bowed down and replied:

"The Marquis of Yongchang is brave and invincible, and those widows are not the opponents of the Marquis of Yongchang at all."

"After gaining a firm foothold, the Marquis of Yongchang directly led us to chase after the Japanese and others, vowing to kill them all."

"Then did you get Li Jin's order? Or did Li Jin order you to pursue it? ”

The brocade guard who Xu Da asked was speechless.

He just followed the main general to fight, and he naturally didn't know whether he had an order or not, but when he saw Lan Yu rushing up, he rushed up.

Zhu Yuanzhang also realized the problem, and turned his gaze to Jinyiwei.

If it was really Li Jin who ordered Lan Yu to pursue, then Li Jin would have to pay full responsibility for the heavy casualties.

On the contrary, if Lan Yu pursued without authorization, causing the front and rear teams to become disjointed and surrounded by the Japanese Bandits, then the main responsibility for this battle lies with Lan Yu.

Jin Yiwei was stared at by Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang at the same time, the pressure instantly increased, cold sweat began to break out behind his back, and his speech became stammering:

"Humble... Humble duty... Ignorance. ”

Xu Da changed his way of asking and said:

"Can you see the flagship waving the flag and letting the Marquis of Yongchang pursue it with all his might?"

"No... No. ”

Jinyiwei swallowed, but Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened violently, and he roared:

"Bastard."

What a character Zhu Yuanzhang is, after Xu Da pointed out the abnormal behavior after Lanyu landed, he knew where the crux of the battle was.

Now I heard Jin Yiwei say that Lan Yu was equivalent to attacking without an order, which made Zhu Yuanzhang angry all of a sudden.

Xu Da waved his hand lightly and asked Jinyiwei to retreat first.

The brocade guard turned around in horror and walked towards the wounded barracks.

After Jin Yiwei left, Xu Da opened his mouth and analyzed:

"In the naval drill code, the most important thing in landing operations is to seize the stall."

"It is strictly stipulated in the drill that after seizing the stalls, the members of the team who first board should immediately consolidate and expand the landing booths in the same place, so that they can meet the follow-up large forces and be able to land smoothly."

"In naval warfare, the most important thing is fire and artillery."

"And the musket and artillery have very strict logistical requirements, so after Lan Yu landed, the first time should be in the same place, waiting for Li Jin to lead a large army to follow."

"Wait until all the logistics are brought to the beach, or even the artillery is pulled onto the island, and then the next clean-up will be carried out."

"But according to the description of the Jinyi Guard just now, since they landed on the island, the most frequent battle they have engaged in is actually white-knuckle combat."

"In the army drill code, the long-range strike of the firearm is highly respected, and the description of white-knuckle combat is a choice in desperation."

"These drills are all from Li Jin's hands, before setting out to suppress bandits, Li Jin also deliberately carried out a simulated landing operation, a simulated naval battle, and in his post-war summary, he also deliberately emphasized the importance of the landing operation."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that there may be other hidden circumstances in this battle, so please call Lan Yu and Li Jin together and confront them face to face."

"That way, maybe things will fall into place."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was already very ugly, with his understanding of Lan Yu, this kind of arrogant soldier would never obediently listen to Li Jin's words.

Even if he gave Shang Fang's sword, Lan Yu would not take Li Jin in his eyes, it must be Lan Yu's greed for merit, which led to such heavy losses in this war.

Thinking of Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Mao Xiang said that Lan Yu was seriously injured and unconscious, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

"I'll talk about this matter later, Li Jin is still too young after all, and he is not suitable to continue to lead the army."

"You go down first to arrange the clearance, just use this group of remnants to train and train."

"In the future, the suppression of bandits will still rely on the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp."

Xu Da didn't want to leave like this, but still wanted to intercede for Li Jin, and said:

"Your Majesty, Li Jin is not a big mistake, please think twice."

Li Jin can be said to be the most talented junior Xu Da has seen in recent years.

Whether it is governing the place or marching to fight, Li Jin is a leader, which makes Xu Da can't help but love Li Jin.

"Do you know that Lan Yu is seriously injured and is still unconscious?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, and he said in a dignified tone:

"If you punish Lan Yu now, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Xu Da's face was full of astonishment, he only knew that Lan Yu personally took the lead in charging into battle, but he didn't know that Lan Yu had been seriously injured.

If it is really as Zhu Yuanzhang said, it is indeed not suitable to punish Lan Yu again.

Otherwise, I am afraid that those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in Huaixi will ask for Lan Yu's life and throw Li Jinyu into prison.

"We have our own plans for this matter, you go and do your own thing."

"Familiarize yourself with naval affairs as soon as possible, this is just a force of pirates at sea, and the pirates will not wait for us."

"It's going on here, we have to continue to go south, and the cause of suppressing bandits can't be stopped because of Zhu Di."

Xu Da nodded heavily, it seems that the navy will be in control of it himself in the future.

For juniors like Li Jin, Xu Da can help so much.

Xu Da said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang, went to the barracks, and began to discuss the extermination of the remnants of the Shengsi Island.

"Dad, the fourth brother is awake!"

As soon as Xu Da left, Zhu Biao rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly and shouted loudly, looking very excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly strode into the camp.

When he entered the camp, he saw Zhu Di showing an ugly smile, which made Zhu Yuanzhang angry enough.

"You still dare to laugh, do you know that if it weren't for Li Jin, you would be dead by now."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of anger and reprimanded:

"As a royal prince, you dare to sneak out to join the army behind our backs, which is really a big rebellion."

"When you're well, you'll see how we'll clean up your !!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so angry, the smile on Zhu Di's face was consistent, and when Zhu Yuanzhang finished complaining, Zhu Di said weakly:

"Dad, it's great to see you again."

"I plan to repay you and my mother for raising me again in the next life."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned red, but he tried to maintain his majestic appearance, and shouted:

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your mother is waiting for you to go back in Yingtian! Our family is waiting for you to go back! ”

"At all times, remember that we and your mother are waiting for you at home."

Zhu Di showed a relieved smile and nodded heavily.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di's struggling appearance and comforted:

"Don't think about it so much, take a good rest, we'll take you back right away."

"Let's go home and cultivate, after we recuperate, we will be a good man again!"

Zhu Di originally felt a little tired, but when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to take him back, he immediately reluctantly spoke:

"Dad, I don't want to go back, I want to stay here."

"I want to avenge my robes that died in battle, and I want to kill those who killed the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Dad, please, I'm not going back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di dared to disobey him, and he was about to get angry.

But seeing Zhu Di's eyes full of pleading, as well as the countless dense wounds on his body, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was instantly extinguished.

But if Zhu Yuanzhang watched his son's life and death here unpredictable, he couldn't do it.

"Gotta go back! The matter was not negotiable. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was imposing, and wanted to forcibly bring back his fourth son, who had escaped.

After all, no matter how big the ambition is, if it dies, then there is nothing.

"That son would rather die here!"

Zhu Di didn't give an inch, and this battle made him grow a lot.

Men will always grow a lot between life and death, not to mention that after the tempering of iron and blood, Zhu Di has become more and more resolute.

Zhu Biao hurriedly persuaded him:

"Fourth brother, my father is also for your good, you look like this, staying here is also a drag."

"It's a big deal to wait until you're healthy, and then you can enlist in the army."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, what he was most afraid of was that after he went back, Zhu Yuanzhang would not let him come out again, so he had to resolutely oppose going back.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want Zhu Di to come out and charge again, even if he wanted to join the army, he should lead the troops to fight, like Xu Da, and become a famous marshal.

Instead of becoming a reckless man like Lan Yu, charging into battle is too dangerous after all.

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, if it is really killed on the battlefield, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he is really unacceptable.

was about to refuse on the spot, but seeing Zhu Di and Zhu Biao's pleading eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang finally relented.

nodded helplessly and said:

"Healed injuries, it's up to you."

"Whether you join the army or charge, we don't care about you."

A smile appeared in the corner of Zhu Di's eyes, and he said slowly:

"Thank you, father."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to deal with this rebellious son anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave the big tent.

"Sapphire asks to see you."

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to leave, the Jinyi guard, who was in charge of guarding outside the tent, reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now there are only three people in the big tent, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, and when he heard that Lan Yu had woken up, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately let Lan Yu in.

When Lan Yu came in, it surprised the three of them.
