"What did Liu Lin say?"
Zuo Mengeng attached great importance to Li Zhu's newly appointed commander of the Three-Way Navy.
In his opinion, this Liu Lin was someone he could win over.
Judging from this person's historical performance, it can be said that he is particularly disgusted with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Not only was he very active when fighting against the Manchu invasion, but he was also very capable of fishing in troubled waters when he later fought with the Manchus.
The Qing army wanted to attack Pidao and asked him to lead troops to join the battle.
He deliberately told the Qing army: If I come, all the money will be mine.
When the Qing army heard this, what should they do?
He was sent back and replaced by Lin Qingye to lead the troops.
After the fall of Pidao, Huang Taiji asked him to go to Shengjing to receive the reward, but he simply refused to go because he was ill.
This made Huang Taiji furious and asked North Korea to punish him.
Li Zhu had no choice but to beat him with a hundred sticks and demoted him to a commoner.
Later, he followed the Qing army to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but was sent back by the Qing Dynasty for being accused of not staying in and delaying the military flight.
He also participated in Shen Qiyuan's rebellion and was dismissed from office.
When he participated in the Songjin War, he complained of illness on the front line and did not come to take command in person. He also secretly ordered the soldiers to fire cannons and empty arrows at the Ming army.
Judging from these deeds, Liu Lin would not be so willing to serve the Manchus.
The Ministry of Intelligence is already doing this.
Guo Ting said: "We have contacted in secret, but this person is very confused now and seems to be undecided."
Regarding Liu Lin's performance, Zuo Mengeng felt that it was normal.
"In the final analysis, Li Zhu is the king to him. The idea of scholar-bureaucrats being loyal to the emperor is deeply ingrained. How can it be so easy to abandon? But as long as there is hope, we must work hard to fight for it."
He looked at Liu Lin's friend Shen Qiyuan.
"Where is Liu Lin from?"
Shen Qi understood it from afar.
"Liu Lin is from Jinzhou. He has been working as an official abroad, and his wife, children and children have all stayed in his hometown."
Zuo Mengeng looked for it on the map and couldn't help but feel happy.
It turns out that Jinju is in Gyeongsang-do, but closer to Jeolla-do.
He quickly made up his mind and told Guo Ting: "I'll give you a task. No matter what method you use, get all Liu Lin's relatives over to me."
Guo Ting lay on the map and studied it.
"Your Highness, we need help from the Navy."
Jinzhou is only a few dozen miles south of the sea. If you want to hijack Liu Lin's family from the siege of the Qing Dynasty coalition forces, the best direction is to the south.
As long as you get to the beach and get on the navy ship, everything will be fine.
Zuo Hua happened to be present.
"Just do it, the navy ship will definitely appear at the mouth of the river on time."
With Zuo Hua's guarantee, Guo Ting was confident.
"We will definitely bring people out within ten days at most."
Although he planned to win over Liu Lin, matters on the battlefield could not be delayed.
Zuo Mengeng always takes a multi-pronged approach when doing things.
"Kiddling Liu Lin's family may make them submit, but it may also harm him. It is best to make him understand that there is nothing he can do on the battlefield. This will be more conducive to attacking his mind."
Zuo Mengeng remembered how our army surrendered to the North China Suppressor in the subsequent Battle of Pingjin, and decided to copy it and give it a try.
In other words, Liu Lin must be put under high pressure on the battlefield to break his psychological defense.
Everyone in the Navy was overjoyed to hear that they could go to war again.
Zuo Hua thought for a while and proposed a plan.
"The strength of the North Korean navy is not very strong. There is no need to dispatch all the navy, and a considerable force must be left to defend Japan. I think it is better to let Chief of Staff Bai lead a squadron to carry out this combat mission."
Among the four giants of the navy, Zuo Hua and Bai Dasheng are relatively young. After all, Zhang Keda and E Honglue are a bit older.
Especially Zhang Keda, who is almost fifty years old. Always tossing around at sea is not good for his health.
E Honglue is about to return to the Naval Academy to serve as the principal, so the navy must have young people to step forward to support the skeleton.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Zuo Hua decided to give this opportunity to make meritorious deeds to Bai Dasheng.
Zuo Mengeng understood his thoughts immediately.
"Chief of Staff, how do you plan to fight?"
Bai Dasheng truly found his value among the new army. I devoted all my energy to this and dedicated the love of my life.
When the threat from Japan was lifted, he had already begun to think about how to use the navy to attack North Korea.
He pointed to the complex terrain in southern North Korea and said: "The ships of the North Korean Navy are all small boats, and they are not conducive to ocean navigation. Therefore, the North Korean Navy will definitely jump along these islands. They are familiar with the terrain here, and maybe they feel that they can Cause trouble for us."
This judgment was highly recognized by everyone.
"We haven't set foot in this area much, so we have to be careful and don't fall into a trap."
Offshore operations and deep sea operations are completely different concepts.
When fighting in the deep sea, the most important thing to consider is the weather.
Wind and waves have a great impact on deep-sea operations.
In fact, offshore combat is not much different from land combat. The first factor to consider must be terrain.
Especially at the southern end of the Korean Peninsula, various islands are densely distributed, forming waterways one after another.
Wherever ships can be parked in these waterways, where there are reefs, and where there are undercurrents, Xia Jun's reconnaissance capabilities cannot be solved in a short time.
The North Korean Navy must have a great advantage in fighting on its own land in this regard.
Bai Dasheng certainly knows this.
"I plan to ask General Kwon to lead the Gyeongsang Province Navy to fight together."
It is not that the Xia Kingdom Navy is not familiar with the geographical situation, that is Gyeongsang Province Navy Commander Quan Lili.
Quan Li was quite happy to hear that he had a chance to play, but he was also a little humble.
"The general has always been serving in Gyeongsang Province. He has only a limited understanding of the water conditions in Jeolla Province, so he is afraid that he will not be able to help the general."
A hundred great victories are not for oneself.
"If you can help a little bit, it's a little bit. The cumulative advantage of these little bits is a victory."
Quan Li was puzzled.
"Why not put Liu Lin in the waters of Gyeongsang Island and start fighting again?"
In his opinion, Busan is implementing a defensive strategy anyway. Therefore, the Navy can completely rely on Busan's help to operate in the waters of Gyeongsang Province.
In this way, the territory that belongs to him will not go wrong even with his eyes closed, and he will be more sure of winning.
Bai Dasheng shook his head and raised his hand to point at the location of Jeju Island.
"I'm afraid that if Liu Lin is released, he will send people here on a whim. If he discovers our plan, it will affect major events."
Quan Li suddenly realized.
After everyone's discussion, Bai Dasheng formed a squadron consisting of Linqing, ten Fu ships, fifteen Haicang ships, twenty Cangshan ships, and twenty-five Centipede ships. Leave Pusan and head west along the coastline to meet the North Korean navy.
The war on land has not yet begun, but the storm on the water has begun to gather.
