Chapter 278: Landing in Hakata Bay
After Xu Xi learned that his younger brother had missed the opportunity to be promoted to earl, he rushed into Xu Yu's residence that night and beat him violently. However, Xu Xi also has a sense of proportion in his hands, which just allows Xu Yu to still be able to train as usual the next day.
Xu Yu had to drag his stump onto the warship and go to train with his subordinates.
January time is fleeting, and the day when Zhang Yun will review the results of the training is approaching.
Yellow Sea.
Zhang Yun stood on the main ship, and the high-ranking members of the Changning army gathered here, in addition to the backbone of the naval division, as well as Zhang Yun's personal soldiers.
Hundreds of warships were docked in this vast sea, and the warships were full of excited soldiers. After a year of training, plus three months of devil training, today is finally the time to put it to the test.
Zhang Yun glanced at Zhang Long, and Zhang Long jumped on the warship next to him and began to command. As one command after another was issued, the warships sometimes sailed neatly in the water, and sometimes scattered and trapped the enemy.
Zhang Yun and his entourage nodded again and again on the boat, and when the time came to evening, the review was finally successfully completed. Zhang Yun shouted to the herald: "Return!" ”
Suddenly, the originally scattered fleet began to become neat again, and under the command of the herald, they quickly assembled and sailed to the Qingdao wharf together.
As soon as he got off the warship, Zhang Yun shouted behind him: "Take a good rest, and follow me to break the enemy in three days." As soon as these words came out, thunderous cheers suddenly sounded behind him.
That night, Zhang Yun asked all the restaurants in Qingdao to close for a day, and served good wine and food for this group of soldiers who were about to go on the expedition, after all, this may be the last time they will eat this wine and food, so naturally they can't be ambiguous.
In Qingdao in June, the temperature has risen. That night, the largest square in Qingdao was full of tables and chairs, and the shouts continued, as if to vent all the depression of these days.
Zhang Yun and a group of high-level officials sat on the high platform, looking at the crazy soldiers under the stage, and couldn't help but feel sad. If you can surrender the army without a fight, then it is naturally the best, but there are always people who are not convinced, so you can only fight until he is afraid.
Once the success is done, Zhang Yun's title is made up of the accumulated bones of these low-level soldiers.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun got up and raised his wine glass, and shouted: "Brothers, I, Zhang Yun, give you a glass." This roar echoed in the sky above the square, and everyone stopped their movements and looked in the direction of Zhang Yun.
The soldiers at the bottom didn't ink, raised their wine glasses and bowed their hands in the direction of Zhang Yun, and then drank them all.
Immediately after Zhang Yun's words, the atmosphere was brought to a climax: "All the soldiers who participated in the battle this time will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." The two tiers of the spoils were divided equally among the army.
If anyone dies in battle, there is another pension. If anyone is crippled, I am responsible for finding you a messenger to earn a living. ”
"Thank you, Master Hou! Thank you, Lord Hou! The roar of soldiers echoed in the square, and it lasted for a long time.
The carnival lasted until the early morning of the next day, and Zhang Yun, supported by Xu Xi, dragged his tired body to his residence.
Time flew by, and soon it was the eve of departure, and all the soldiers were very excited, and many of them had already begun to fantasize about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, glorifying their ancestors.
However, unlike everyone's excitement, Shen Lian and Du Ling had a sad look on their faces.
Du Ling opened his mouth and said: "Brother Shen, if Master Hou leads the army to Japan, my Qingdao will be empty. If the Japanese invade the country, what should you and I do? ”
"Alas, I'm often worried, if I don't let Master Hou leave some people?" Shen Lian proposed.
"Okay, you and I will go and suggest to Hou Ye now, and see how Hou Ye handles it."
After that, the two went straight to Zhang Yun's residence and reported to the person guarding the door, and the man went to call Zhang Yun out.
"Let's go, let's go to the council hall." Zhang Yun knew that they were coming to him at this point, and there must be something important.
The two nodded and followed Zhang Yun to the conference hall. As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yun smiled at the two of them and said, "Say, what's the matter, bother the two of you to bother me late at night." ”
The two glanced at each other, arched their hands at Zhang Yunyi, and said, "Master Hou, if you lead troops to go straight to Japan, my Qingdao will be empty." If the Japanese come from Korea across the Yellow Sea, the time will ......"
Zhang Yun sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to divide his troops, and he knew how many people there were in Japan. Suddenly, there was silence in the room, and a pin drop could be heard.
After a long time, Zhang Yun frowned and slowly spoke: "I will definitely bring all these horses with me, I will ask the imperial court for help later, and you should hurry up to consolidate the city defense." ”
"Yes!"
After sending the two away, Zhang Yun immediately returned to his residence to write a fold and instructed Shen Lian to submit the fold to the cabinet on his behalf.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yun's army came to the Qingdao wharf at the agreed time and began to slowly board the warship. When the last soldier got on the warship, Zhang Yun glanced at Zhang Long.
Zhang Long yelled: "Start the boat!" ”
"Boom!!" The warships began to start, and hundreds of warships set off waves like dragons entering the sea. Zhang Yun stood on the main boat, watching the figures on the Qingdao pier get smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Zhang Yun and the others floated on the sea for five days, and finally in the early morning of the sixth day, Zhang Yun was woken up by a noise.
"It's here, it's here..... Here we are. ”
Zhang Yun heard the movement and hurriedly ran out of the cabin. Sure enough, a huge island appeared in front of me. Half an hour later, everyone woke up, and a huge fleet sailed into the bay.
According to the guide, the bay is called Hakata Bay and is located in the northern part of the island of Kyushu.
Hakata Bay is flanked to the west by the Itoshima Peninsula and to the south by present-day Fukuoka City, and from Fukuoka to the southeast, it can directly reach Dazaifu, the ruling core of Kyushu Island, and can communicate with the western coastal plain of Kyushu to the south.
After sailing for about twenty minutes, the ship finally landed.
"The Yunzi battalion disembarked first, consolidated the formation, and waited for the follow-up reinforcements to land."
As soon as the words fell, the good men of the Yunzi battalion quickly disembarked from the ship, quickly set up a defensive formation, and waited for the rest of the troops to land. After all the troops landed, Zhang Yun left 3,000 men to guard the ship, which was their retreat, and there was no room for sloppiness.
"My lord, where are we going now?" As soon as he landed, several people surrounded Zhang Yun and asked. Zhang Yun smiled, took out the map and pointed to the core of Kyushu Island.
Several people nodded again and again, and then took the Yunzi Camp and the Tadako Camp as the vanguard, and ran towards Dazaifu.
Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi took most of the Japanese troops with him, in two days, Zhang Yun's army went straight to the area of Hakata Bay, Iwaya Castle, Homan Castle, and Tachibana Mountain Castle of the Tachibana family.
On this day, Zhang Yun was still plotting with his subordinates in the big tent, and suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that the Yunzi camp had taken Tachibana Mountain City, and the Tachibana family in the city was willing to surrender.
Zhang Yun clapped his palms and said with a smile: "It seems that our big camp has to go forward again." ”
"Hahaha......" The camp instantly erupted in laughter.
Soon, Zhang Yun's battalion moved forward this time and rushed to Tachibana Mountain City. As soon as he walked to the gate, he saw Zhao Hu and the soldiers of the Changning Army at the gate of the city to greet him, and there were a few short Japanese standing next to him.
There were many corpses lying in front of the city, the air exuded a strong smell of blood, and the beams of the city were still dancing with the slightest flames, all of which told the fierceness of the battle.
Zhang Yun walked slowly, patted Zhao Hu's shoulder with a smile, and walked straight to the city. After entering, Zhang Yun was not polite, and directly drove the people of the Tachibana family out and lived in their family's mansion by himself.
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Hu called several elders of the Tachibana family: "My lord, when I attacked the city, only these old things were left and did not run, and the others ran away." ”
Zhang Yun waved his hand and said, "Drag it down and torture it, and see where their family's treasure house is." ”
This little Japan deserves to be known as the country of silver, and there is not much else, but there is a lot of silver. A small city can scavenge hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Zhang Yun fought all the way, robbed all the way, robbed three or four cities, and now has robbed nearly 800,000 taels of silver.
This is just a small town, if you go to Kyoto to grab it, then the treasure is ...... It's even more unimaginable.
