It is rainy in spring and summer.
The same goes for the North.
Shanhaiguan.
During this period, the Han army's attacks were also intermittent. For the Han army, this was actually beneficial.
The attack on Shanhaiguan was all done with human lives.
But there is no other way to build the plank road.
If it rains, you can withdraw your troops back to camp and wait quietly.
It's the same today. The sky is dark and it rains occasionally. The soldiers of the Han army stayed in the camp, recuperating their strength and recovering from their injuries.
It's delicious, delicious, and very enjoyable.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
"Hahaha."
Wu Nian looked at Chen Jiagui in front of him and laughed: "Li Tianbao. I really did not misjudge the man. He was born to do the navy."
Chen Jiagui also smiled.
After Li Tianbao crossed the sea from Liaodong and attacked the southeastern coast, news from the Han Dynasty was cut off. However, the Han Dynasty had a large number of imperial city spies in Chu State.
Li Tianbao first attacked Ningbo and Taizhou, defeated the main force of the Chu army, captured Hangzhou, and showed off his power outside Nanjing.
The spies from the Imperial City Division went through a lot of hardships and finally handed over the news.
Now that they have succeeded, the army has moved south.
Without any hesitation, Wu Nian asked Chen Jiagui to go down and called Hojo Ushimasa in.
"Go ahead with the order. Secretly mobilize the troops. I led Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, the imperial guard of Wanhu, plus the elite soldiers of Wanhu, including Wei Polu, Lu Yanxun, and Zhang Zhen, and secretly retreated to Liaodong, waiting for the Chu State to mobilize the northern garrison to go south. I, together with ten thousand households in the navy, took warships to attack Tianjin."
"It's different from Li Tianbao's petty quarrels. I am a carrot and a hole, and I will not leave after I hit it. I am like a tiger in Hebei."
"As for the army outside Shanhaiguan, leave it to Zhang Jin to have full command, with Long Qie to assist."
Wu Nian told Hojo Umasa about the matter, his eyes flashed, and he ordered in a deep voice. The fierce energy that cannot be concealed.
"Yes." Hojo Umasa also became excited, responded loudly, turned around and hurried out.
"As long as the journey goes smoothly, Hebei belongs to everyone." Wu Nian was still in a state of excitement. He stood up and held the handrail behind him, pacing back and forth in the tent.
The sea cannot be disrespected.
Whatever happens at sea is possible.
Crossing the sea is a good strategy.
But the wind and waves on the sea are beyond Wu Nian's control.
It's the only flaw.
That night. The five thousand soldiers of the Han army quietly left the camp and went back to Liaodong to hide.
Chu's reaction was exactly as Wu Nian expected.
The city of Hangzhou fell and Nanjing was shocked. The Chu court could not afford to guard the end, so it could only dispatch some of its elite troops along the coast to go south and return to the south to deal with Li Tianbao.
In this situation.
The Han army's elite infantry of five thousand households and four naval troops of ten thousand households, totaling more than 100,000 people, set out from Liaodong to attack Beizhili.
Wu Nian's goal was Tianjin, the important city in North Zhili.
However, the four thousand households of the navy still adopted the previous tactics and spread out to form a wolf pack, like a big net, surrounding the ports along the coast to Zhili in the north.
............
Tianjin City.
It is not the same place as Tianjin Port and is located far away from the coast. It is currently the headquarters of the Zhili General Army.
The Chu court originally did not have the official position of Zhili General Soldier, just because it needed to deploy defenses along the coast. With so many men and horses stationed, the mobilization of military supplies requires a coordinator.
This position has been created on a temporary basis.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
In front of the east gate building of Tianjin City. Fu Zhengping, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, wearing heavy armor and leading dozens of soldiers, stood facing the front and watched the sunset.
"Hey." Fu Zhengping sighed quietly, feeling very heavy.
Xiong Wuwo was elected as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan due to his strong ability.
He is different.
The Fu family is the ancestral title [Pingyang Gong] after the founding fathers of the Chu State. Fu Zhengping succeeded the Duke at the age of twenty and entered the army, serving in the army for twenty-five years.
He once led troops to exterminate rebels and bandits, and also led troops to rescue Yanmen Pass and fight with the Slavs. He led troops into Liaodong and fought with the Mongols.
He was a famous general in the face of domestic rebels and bandits. But against the Slavs and Mongolians, he was stretched thin and lost more than he won.
But even so. He was also a capable figure among the nobles of the Chu State.
His opponent was Wu Nian, the king of Han, who destroyed the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and competed with the Slavs for supremacy.
The abilities of the two sides are very different.
Originally, he occupied a geographical area with a natural chasm called the sea. In addition, with more than 100,000 troops at hand, we still have the confidence to defend.
Now Li Tianbao is raiding in the southeast, and the imperial court has mobilized 40,000 to 50,000 troops. As a result, the number of soldiers in his hands was less than 100,000.
Although the Han army has not yet attacked, he has already smelled the danger.
It's so dangerous.
"The Chu State is the backbone, and the Fu family is the branches. No matter what, I will protect the Chu State. If the country is destined to perish, I am willing to die on the battlefield."
Thinking of this, Fu Zhengping's eyes gradually became firmer, and the heaviness in his heart dissipated, replaced by heroism.
After watching the sunset, Fu Zhengping returned to the city gate tower and had dinner. Then he lay down and went to sleep. But every hour, the soldiers would wake him up.
After waking up, he put on his armor and patrolled the city wall with his own soldiers, performing his duties conscientiously.
............
dark night.
The bright moon is in the sky and the stars are shining brightly.
The sea was rough, and countless Han warships rode the wind and waves toward Tianjin Port.
Admiral Matsudaira Isshin stood on the bow of the ship, his left hand on the handle of the sword at his waist, looking forward, his blood already boiling.
As a Ryukyu native.
His ambition in the first half of his life has been completed. Some of his relatives now live on the Ryukyu Islands.
all of these.
They were all brought by the King of Han.
The future King of Ryukyu was also the son of the King of Han and his princess.
He has already avenged the hatred of the country and the family. Now his body belongs to the King of Han, and he will fight for the cause of the King of Han for the rest of his life.
The cause of the King of Han was, of course, to destroy Chu.
Ascended to the throne as emperor.
Matsudaira stared straight ahead, and in addition to looking straight ahead, there were also some complicated emotions in his eyes.
When Ryukyu was destroyed, some Ryukyu people fled to Chu State and ran around begging Chu State to send troops to help Ryukyu recover.
Ryukyu considers itself a small China.
It was also a vassal state of Chu State.
As a result, except for a few people in the Chu court who supported Ryukyu, the rest were indifferent.
Chu State stood still.
In his heart, Songping Yishin hated Chu.
"What qualifications does Chu have to call itself Huaxia Zhengshuo?"
"Destroy Chutian and revive the Han Dynasty."
Matsudaira grasped the handle of the sword tightly at his waist, and his aura was extremely sharp. At this moment, lights appeared in front.
The lights on this scale are not caused by the common people.
There was a large army stationed on the shore.
Tianjin Port has arrived.
"Get ready for battle. Open up a road to Chudu for the king." Isshin Matsudaira pulled out the steel knife from his waist and shouted sharply.
