Chapter 179: An all-out attack against the Great Ming
"Ou Ou Ou!"
Pairs of white seagulls hovered over the surface of the sea, making high, high-pitched calls that seemed to be talking loudly to each other.
Not far in front of these seagulls, a fleet was scurrying south.
A black flag with a white skull hangs high on the mast, and the black undertone and white skull and crossed thigh bones form a terrifying pirate flag.
The head of the skeleton usually wears a hat, the lower jaw is slightly open, revealing sharp teeth, and the sides are decorated with cross skeletons.
The whole pattern is very simple, but it gives a sense of horror and sinisterity.
The more than 40 warships of the entire fleet were all flying high with pirate flags, flying high and arrogant.
It was Xu Da and Li Jin and his party.
"Wei Guogong, are you sure that the emperor asked me to recruit 10,000 Yiwu soldiers again?"
When Li Jin heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears.
After all, the last time 3,000 people were recruited, some people reported that they wanted to rebel.
Now, if so many people are recruited again, won't they be exterminated by Zhu Yuanzhang?
Therefore, this matter must be asked clearly, otherwise I am afraid that the next day, there will be countless twists and turns to impeach me to death.
Xu Da nodded, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, in fact, he knew better.
If the Beijing camp is sent to support Li Jin and Xu Da and them, then Zhu Yuanzhang will have to pay for this part of the money and food.
And if Li Jin is asked to recruit Xiang Yong by himself, then this money must be Li Jin and out.
When the time comes, after exterminating the Japanese invaders, Zhu Yuanzhang will be able to bring all these elite soldiers trained by Li Jin under his command.
Zhu Yuanzhang's abacus can be described as a jingle sound.
Li Jin didn't care about this, he was more concerned that with these troops, he would be able to be more bold in attacking Wadao in the future.
"Li County Order, where did you recruit those staff officers of yours?"
After Xu Da received Zhu Yuanzhang's will, he hurried back to Shengsi Island and discussed the next southbound route with Li Jin.
The military situation is like fire, and only by reaching the southern Fujian waters as soon as possible can the siege of Fuzhou be relieved.
After Li Jin got Zhu Yuanzhang's will, he directly summoned his staff and asked them to choose the most stable southbound route for himself and Xu Da.
Xu Da actually didn't quite understand, what was the use of Li Jin's so-called operation?
After all, marching and fighting, how to fight, are all decided by the commander alone, and when the two armies fight, the victory or defeat is often between the thoughts of these commanders.
Xu Da has been on the battlefield for so many years, where can he set up camp and where can he be ambushed?
Where is the place where soldiers must fight, Xu Da knows it all.
Therefore, Xu Da can become the first general of the Ming Dynasty, which is an experience gained between life and death.
Like these staff officers arranged by Li Jin who have never even been on the battlefield, in Xu Da's opinion, they are simply embroidered pillows, which are useless.
But the next scene made Xu Da's jaw drop in shock.
After Li Jin's order was issued, these staff officers quickly analyzed the operational objectives, and then, based on the information gathered, quickly analyzed the feasibility of each marching route.
In less than a cup of tea, Li Jin's combat department came up with a satisfactory answer sheet and planned a real and feasible marching route.
This information processing speed directly shocked Xu Da's jaw.
Xu Da hurriedly took over the so-called analysis results from the staff officer, and the information was presented on paper, indicating the reasons for the selection of the marching route in each section of the sea area.
Seeing the end, Xu Da also had to admire these people, even from a very small amount of information, he could try his best to analyze a route that seemed to be extremely feasible.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested in overseas at all a few years ago, Daming was extremely lacking in overseas intelligence.
The information in their hands is still obtained by Li Jin from all aspects with great difficulty over the years, and it is extremely scarce.
But even so, Li Jin's operations department still relied on this information to complete the task brilliantly.
This made Xu Da really feel incredible.
The final result, naturally, was also in accordance with the arrangement of the War Department, which went south from Shengsi Island to Wenzhou, and then from Wenzhou to the south to the waters of Fujian.
However, Xu Da was extremely curious about the origin of the staff officers of these combat departments.
The ages of these staff officers are all very similar to Li Jin, and they should be around twenty years old, these people have fine skin and tender meat, and they don't look like people who have been on the battlefield at all.
But the abilities of these people are very good, which can't help but make Xu Da even more curious.
"I promoted them all, and although they haven't been on the battlefield, they have performed very well in training."
Li Jin said lightly:
"As the saying goes, one person counts short, three people count long, with their help, I will deal with military affairs much faster."
"Moreover, I think the most important thing in combat is intelligence, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can win all battles."
"They are the departments I use to deal with intelligence, grasp the enemy's movements, and move with the situation in order to win a big victory."
"Of course, these are just my ideas, and everything is still experimenting."
"If Wei Guogong is interested, we can discuss it after the war, after all, this system is still not perfect enough."
Xu Da nodded and said:
"When this battle is over, you come to the capital, and we will talk at night."
"I don't think your system is simple, just with your war department, it's not ordinary."
Li Jin smiled slightly and said:
"Thank you Wei Guogong for the compliment."
...
Shuangyu Island.
After Inoue Ichiro regained his strength, he led his remaining henchmen to come here and meet Kato Hiroki, the great leader of the Japanese on Shuangyu Island.
After hearing what happened to Inoue, Hiroki Kato didn't believe Inoue's words at all.
"Are you saying that a powerful Ming army has come to the Yellow Sea in the north and occupied your Shengsi Island?"
"How is this possible? The ships of the Ming Dynasty have all disappeared, and even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has closed the entire customs because he is afraid of us. ”
"They're not even doing business anymore."
"You tell me now, you were destroyed by the Ming navy? Do you still want to warn me to be careful of the surprise attack of the Ming Navy? ”
Hiroki Kato had a sneer on his face, as if he had heard a big joke.
What is the strength of the Ming Water Army, doesn't he know?
He invaded Ningbo and Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province every year, but he never saw the Ming army go to sea to pursue him and others.
I have never heard of it once, the Ming army is going to sea to destroy itself.
And from some Han people, it is known that the Ming Emperor has issued a ban on the sea.
Not only did they abandon customs, but even fishermen were not allowed to go to the sea to fish, and all the boats were abandoned and slowly rotted.
How could the Ming Navy of this strength be its own opponent? It's a big joke.
Seeing that this person was so arrogant, Inoue Ichiro didn't take his words to heart at all, and he was immediately furious, and anger rose in his heart.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Li San next to him suddenly pulled him, and his eyes signaled him not to act rashly and focus on the overall situation.
Inoue Ichiro took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said:
"If Kato-sama doesn't believe me, you can send someone to Shengsi Island to check."
"It won't be long before those people head south, and I hope Kato-sama will be more careful."
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Inoue Ichiro doesn't want this Kato Hiroki to be killed at this time, after all, he still has to count on following this person and making a comeback.
Who knows, Kato Hiroki directly waved his hand and interrupted:
"No need, the king of the south has already sent news, and we will launch a full-scale attack on Daming in the near future."
"Even if there is a Ming navy, it is impossible to stop the attack of so many of our forces."
