The construction of coastal defense in ancient China basically started in the Ming Dynasty. Although the previous coastal defenses were not in the typical sense, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even the coastal defenses in the Tang and Song Dynasties were not as strict as those in the Ming Dynasty.
Before the Ming Dynasty, such as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Three Kingdoms Period, some vassal states bordering rivers and seas had navies and conducted naval warfare and maritime offensive and defensive operations, but they did not yet have clear coastal defense facilities and fixed establishments.
During this period, when the princes in the Central Plains were busy fighting their own battles, no one among the coastal princes thought that someone would cross the sea to attack them. How prepared can they be for that long coastline!
In this case, the expeditionary force sent by Oda Nobunaga made a sneak attack on Xuzhou. Xuzhou was caught off guard and could easily suffer a big loss.
Previously, due to the system, Wang Yu had sent people from the floating water house to secretly warn the princes. For example, the people from the floating water house pretended to be fishermen to warn the local governments that they had discovered a large sea channel on the sea during fishing. Ways to prepare these coastal princes in advance.
After all, it was impossible for Li Xiang to inform all the princes openly. First of all, it is uncertain whether the princes will believe him, especially the warring princes like Yuan Shao and Zhu Yuanzhang. Secondly, it was difficult for him to explain the source of the information.
However, although the floating house provided warnings in advance, the effect was quite limited.
Zhao Kuangyin was at war with Xian Zhen and the others at this time. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin, who was in Xuzhou, the place where the Fourth Battle of the Central Plains was, also needed to guard against other surrounding princes, and could not mobilize too many manpower to defend the seaside.
Besides, some fishermen reported the matter to local officials. As far as these officials believed that some pirates were attacking, these pirates could not alert Zhao Kuangyin who was fighting on the front line.
Moreover, the coastline is so long that even if you take precautions in advance, you still can’t tell where someone will start! In this case, it is naturally difficult to take precautions!
Moreover, even if these officials were prepared, they would only think it was a group of pirates. Who would have thought that among these pirates they considered, there were not only powerful generals like Yamatatoro Tomo, but also famous generals like Akechi Mitsuhide, and at the same time, there were also resourceful people like Takikawa Kazumasu.
This level of configuration is simply not something a group of so-called pirates can afford.
And just when the Japanese army broke through a city, Li Xiang's system sound also sounded, and a mission quietly arrived.
Yuzhou.
Among the three counties occupied by the Sun family, Lu County, where they made their fortune, was forced to be handed over to the Yellow Turbans as a benefit. Cao Cao occupied one of the remaining two counties, and Yuan Shu and Zhao Kuangyin divided them. The last one, and the battle between the two sides started in this county.
Although Xian Zhen is powerful and is known as the Marshal, Tian Dan is definitely not a vegetarian. Both sides attacked and defended. Even if Xian Zhen achieved some victory, it was basically a small victory and could not affect the absolute direction of the final battle.
But at this time, Zhao Kuangyin suffered disaster from the sky, and bad news began to reach him.
In the lobby, Zhao Kuangyin was discussing the war situation with his generals, but a general entered in a hurry after reporting.
"My lord, great things have happened. Japanese Japanese have invaded Donghai County! They massacred villages and destroyed strongholds, killing and wounding countless people."
While speaking, the general also presented a handwritten letter from Yi Yin. This letter contained Yi Yin's description of what he had done after learning about the whole matter.
Zhao Kuangyin went to the front line, while Yi Yin was responsible for stabilizing Zhao Kuangyin's rear.
Although when those officials reported to Yi Yin, they reported a pirate invasion. However, with a pirate invasion of 20,000 people, how could Yi Yin believe that these people were really pirates?
Yi Yin would not rashly send false information to Zhao Kuangyin before figuring out the real situation.
Therefore, Yi Yin immediately sent people to determine the situation. Based on the reported situation, Yi Yin finally made his own judgment.
These so-called pirates did not speak Chinese. As for the specific bird language they spoke, the person who went to investigate the situation could not tell clearly, but it was enough to know that it was not Chinese.
Moreover, attacking from the sea, they are not Han people, and coupled with the average height, Yi Yin suddenly thought of an ancient book he had read, and then opened the ancient ruins to compare it, and finally set his target on the ancient book. On the Japanese people described in.
There are not many descriptions of Japan in ancient books, only a few words. It is only recorded that its area is probably on an overseas island. Since most of the Japanese people are short, they often call Japan the Japanese country, and its people also call it the Japanese people.
According to the available information, the Japanese are the most likely culprits!
"Damn it!" When such bad news came, Zhao Kuangyin immediately checked the letter from Yi Yin.
Twenty thousand Japanese troops were not a small number. Moreover, these Japanese troops are simply like a swarm of locusts. They will wipe out even some ordinary villages wherever they pass, let alone the county town.
Moreover, these bastards committed all kinds of evil during the raids. Burning, killing, looting and looting were just the most basic operations. The people along the way were poisoned by them, resulting in heavy casualties.
"My lord, it is in vain that the son of Yuan Shu IV and Third Duke first did such a treasonous thing as usurping the throne, and now he colludes with foreign enemies for his own selfish interests. He is really a person who destroys people's hearts!" After reading Yi Yin's letter, Zhao Pu said sadly and indignantly He stood up and roared.
In this situation, seeing Zhao Pu looking so sad and angry that he wanted to kill someone, all the important civil and military generals in the hall were affected.
"Yuan Gongli is not a human son. My lord, he should announce his crimes to the world as soon as possible and call on the world to jointly fight against the treacherous thief!" General Chen Baxian's reaction was also very quick, and he followed Zhao Pu and roared loudly and sadly. .
"Yuan Jiujiu is a traitor, not a son of man!" The remaining counselors or generals who reacted quickly, such as Chen Deng, indirectly echoed.
"Yuan Shu is a thief, I swear to kill him!" Zhao Kuangyin stood up in grief and indignation, pulled out the war sword from his waist and struck the document in front of him in two halves. Looking at this, it seems that he really firmly believes that Yuan Shu did it.
Of course it was Yuan Shu who did it, and it must be Yuan Shu who did it!
In any case, let's put a shit basin on Yuan Shu first. Anyway, they are both enemies. Zhao Kuangyin has no psychological pressure at all for this approach!
If it was suitable, he really wanted to give Yuan Shu more of these shit basins!
