Chapter 292: The Army
The early morning coast is mesmerizing, the blue water is like a carpet covering the sky, the seabirds are flying back and forth on the sea, embroidered with beautiful patterns, and the silvery white waves are surging towards the shore one after another, colliding with the stone embankment of the pier to form white sprays.
The crimson sun slowly rose from the surface of the sea, like a huge fireball, and the golden sunlight sprinkled all over the ocean, shining brightly and shiningly.
On the dock of Qingdao, because the imperial court did not allow the people to go to sea, it seemed lonely and lonely, and there were only a few people. A man and a woman stood side by side, Zhang Yun looked at the other side of the sea and muttered, "It's time to end this war."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Xi, and his serious face became kind: "Lady, you go back to Beijing first, this time you listen to me." ”
Xu Xi was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, but Zhang Yun immediately interrupted: "No need to say more, I'll leave tonight." ”
"Ouch." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a huge force coming from his waist, and he turned his head to see Xu Xi glancing at him faintly.
Then, Xu Xi lightly lifted his lips and said, "My child and I are waiting for you here, come back soon." ”
Zhang Yun nodded casually at first, and finally raised his head suddenly, looking at her with hot eyes, Xu Xi noticed her husband's gaze, and her neck was dyed with a layer of redness.
"The doctor just said yesterday, it's just these days that I was pregnant, this guy really didn't come at the right time, it would be nice if he came a few days late."
"Great!"
Zhang Yun waved his fist in the air, this unexpected surprise made him excited, he walked briskly on the dock for two times, and then picked up Xu Xi, who was blocking the waist: "Lady, this child is too timely, he can watch his father win the battle just after he was born."
Hahaha......"
After speaking, he also lifted Xu Xi high and spun in the air, making her scream again and again. "Put... Put me down. ”
Zhang Yun stopped his movements at this time, and then kissed her red lips under her surprised gaze, "Hmm......"
After a long time, the two lips parted. Zhang Yun carried her back to his residence, gently laid her on the bed, and brought her a brocade quilt to cover her, and then went out with confidence.
Out of the gate, Zhang Yun directly waved his hand, gave each soldier of the Changning Army five taels of silver as happy money, and also chartered the restaurant in Qingdao to cook a send-off meal for them, maybe this is the last meal.
The sergeants of the Changning Army shouted Zhang Yun's name one after another, and he looked at the remaining soldiers under the stage from the high platform, and found that there was no fear on their faces, and there was even some expectation.
"It's a pity." Zhang Yun muttered in a low voice, the city of Hancheng is high, if it is attacked, the Changning army will definitely pay a lot of price, looking at these brave men, a sense of unbearability rose in his heart.
This kind of siege is the last thing he wants to fight, and North Korea is also poor now, and Seoul has long been looted. Unlike Kyushu Island, the city is short, the guards are still weak, and the most important thing is that there are a lot of silver in it.
But this is war, as the great man said, "Fight with one punch, lest a hundred blows come." "This time, he must beat Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the pain, but he can't scrap it, otherwise he will cheapen Tokugawa Ieyasu for nothing.
The best situation is naturally to get Kyushu Island by yourself, and Japan will once again fall into the Warring States period, when the daimyo attacked each other.
The flowing water mat lasted from noon to night, and when night fell, Zhang Yun asked Zhao Hu and Shen Lian to keep an eye on him, and he withdrew back to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, Xu Xi sat on the bed, looking at his lower abdomen that had not yet bulged with a happy face.
"Branches!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and she looked up sharply, only to see Zhang Yun appear at the door with a smile on his face, and a food box in his hand.
Without waiting for Xu Xi to speak, Zhang Yun approached in a few steps and opened the food box, and the fragrance suddenly filled the room.
Xu Xi wanted to excuse herself from being hungry, but Zhang Yun said sternly, she ate a few more bites, and after eating, Zhang Yun packed up the food box again, and then sat on the bed.
The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of tenderness.
"Lady, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yun stroked Xu Xi's lower abdomen with his hand and called softly.
He knew that Xu Xi was pregnant with two children last time, but he tortured her enough, not only did she lose her body slightly, but she vomited after eating it all day long, and continued to eat after vomiting, which made Zhang Yun feel uncomfortable.
Now, to see her suffer again, Zhang Yun has to follow her a little more to make her feel better.
When Xu Xi heard this, his lips opened lightly: "It's good that you know, you'd better not mess with me in the future, my mood is very unstable." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Yun hurriedly agreed.
......
Three days later.
In the early morning, the sun is rising, and the waves are constantly beating against the embankment to set off waves; More than 100 warships were ready to go, and the ships were full of heavily armed soldiers.
On the dock, Zhang Yun and Xu Xi said goodbye gently, "You just obediently triumph here, pay attention to your body, you are not alone now, be careful of this little guy." ”
"Hmm." Xu Xi nodded softly, and then pecked Zhang Yun's face.
Zhang Yun turned his head and looked at Shen Lian and Du Ling: "You two must maintain order on the island, if there is any major matter that cannot be decided, you can go to Governor Zhang to deal with it." ”
"Yes." The two nodded. "I wish the Hou Ye victory and early triumph."
Zhang Yun smiled and nodded, then turned around and stepped on the plank to come directly above the warship.
"Let's go!"
When Zhao Hu saw Zhang Yun on the boat, he yelled.
"Boom!!" His voice exploded like a thunderbolt on the empty sea, and the otherwise quiet water made a huge movement.
In the next moment, hundreds of warships rushed towards Pyongyang like dragons entering the sea.
In the fourteenth year of Wanli, on the eighth day of the fifth month, Jeju Island, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's big tent.
In the big tent, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sat in the first place, Mori Terumoto and Kobayakawa Takakei sat on both sides, Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the first place had a gloomy face, he had just received the news that another Ming army was ready to support the Korean battlefield.
If the two Ming armies are allowed to converge, the head of Konishi in the north will be in danger. Therefore, he called the two of them to let the sailors of the Maori family take action and be responsible for intercepting this Ming army.
With a thought in his mind, Toyotomi Hideyoshi squeezed out a smile and said, "Mori-kun, Kobayakawa-kun, now that the Ming army wants to support the Korean battlefield from the Yellow Sea, if they are allowed to converge, the consequences will be unimaginable."
I think it's time for you two to make a move. ”
Maori frowned, and was about to say no, but Kobayakawa Takakei spoke first: "General, please rest assured, Maori-kun and I will definitely complete the task you have assigned." ”
After speaking, he pulled the confused Maori Huiyuan out of the tent.
As soon as he walked out of the tent, Maori broke free from his uncle and asked dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, why did you promise him to go and fight with the Ming army, didn't we say okay, just come and go through the motions." ”
Kobayakawa Takakei looked at his nephew, sighed in his heart, and then said: "Huiyuan, now that the situation has been eroded, if you let this Ming army merge with the Ming army under Seoul so easily.
We lost the capital to negotiate with the Ming army. ”
Maori looked incredulous: "Negotiation? You are saying that the general is going to negotiate with the Ming army. ”
"Huh, what else? Are you still ready to continue fighting with the Ming army? Compared with the giant of the Ming Dynasty, our Japan is still too small. Kobayakawa replied angrily.
He had long seen that Toyotomi Hideyoshi just wanted to end the war in Korea as soon as possible, mainly because Tokugawa Ieyasu made him feel threatened, and now he just wanted to return to the country as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with the IQ of his adopted son, he would not be Tokugawa Ieyasu's opponent at all.
Maori Huiyuan was slightly stunned, and said with a thought he was smart: "Uncle, if we let these Ming troops pass, will they be defeated by Governor Konishi?"
At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's strength will be mostly lost, and the opportunity for our Maori family will come. ”
In the end, he even began to fantasize about himself replacing Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the great Japanese general.
"Yaga!!" Kobayakawa Takakei's loud shout pulled Maori back to reality. "If the general is defeated, Japan will fall into war again, and when the time comes, the local daimyo will go their own way, and sooner or later they will be defeated by the Ming army one by one."
He even wondered if this nephew was his own nephew, how could he be so stupid, thinking only about these small profits; Even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi was defeated, their Mori family was no match for the Tokugawa family.
Moreover, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had already treated their Maori family very favorably, retaining most of their family's fiefdoms. Instead of being a dog to Tokugawa Ieyasu, it is better to surrender to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
As soon as he thought of this, Kobayakawa Takashi didn't dare to stay, and took his navy and prepared to go to sea to intercept Zhang Yun.
The Mori family's navy is known as the number one in Japan because his fiefdom is close to the sea, so he has enough territory to train his navy.
This is also the reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi values them so much, after all, Japan is an island country, and the strength of the navy seems to be important.
In the waters of Jeju Island, hundreds of warships of different sizes are neatly arranged, and fierce figures stand on the boats, and with Maori's military order, the warships slowly move and rush in the direction of Zhang Yun.
Pyongyang City, Royal Palace.
In a large hall, Li Hao sat on the throne, his excitement and excitement were overflowing, and Liu Chenglong's serious face also showed a rare smile.
Just now, Li Rusong informed him that it was another support of the Ming army that had set out and would arrive in Korea in the near future.
At that time, the two of them will be able to launch a general attack on Seoul with one army.
When Li Hao first heard the news, he almost fainted from excitement, and when he woke up again, he immediately summoned Liu Chenglong in his hall.
"King, the king has come from afar, should we prepare something to work for the army?" Liu Chenglong proposed with a smile.
Li Hao nodded again and again: "Well, it makes sense, you go down and make arrangements, and let the various provinces send food and wine." ”
"Yes."
