Goryeo, Gyeonggi-do, Gimpo-gun.
"Brother Yuan Jing, there are only 40 real Japanese and 80 fake Japanese left. Isn't the number a bit small? After all, Cui Gong has been very useful in borrowing them this time. How about leaving some more people?"
The next day, after discussing the conditions for dispatching troops with Nanhu Mr. Li Chengxuan, Kang Lin hurriedly boarded the warship with his Hunan Army, Huai Army, and Taiping Army, unloaded anchor and set sail again to prepare to return to Tamna Island! Originally, they were planning to stay in Gimpo, a prosperous place in Goryeo, for a few more days, but after hearing the news that the Goryeo court had sent troops to Jeolla, they could no longer sit still!
After all, compared with other things, Tamluo Island is Chiyang’s heart and soul! If there is really a mistake, even if the temporary fleet obtains gold and silver outside, it will become meaningless by then! Therefore, after urgently loading some grain and silver, the two large, two small, and four Chiyang ships began to slowly leave the Gimpo Juntamna Chamber of Commerce temporary dock under the tow of the small boat!
However, just before the temporary fleet was about to leave, Cui Mingji's special envoy, Mr. Nanhu Li Chengxuan, thought over and over again and rushed to the dock on horseback, and raised his questions to his ally Kang Lin face to face! In his opinion, the more than 100 real and fake Japanese pirates left by the other side were fierce and elite, but the number was too small no matter what, if his benefactor Cui Mingji and Cui Gong wanted to use their power to do things , the latter still needs to deploy more manpower, otherwise what can be done with these hundreds of Japanese pirates with bare feet and hair!
"Brother Nanhu, don't worry. These one hundred and twenty Japanese subordinates are all well-trained, brave and good at fighting. Facing those soft-handed local officers and soldiers, not only can they defeat one against ten, but at least they can defeat one against five." It's easy to do, so just put your heart in your stomach! In this way, since you have concerns, I will leave forty-eight more elite fire gunners and three small cannons for you! With the help of these elites , I believe that the idle enemy will definitely not be able to stop your attack, Brother Nanhu, you think this is enough!"
Looking at Li Chengxuan with an anxious look on his face, Kang Lin immediately stopped walking about to board the ship, then turned to the officer beside him and issued an order to mobilize troops! In fact, in addition to the elite soldiers of the Hunan Army under Peng Yushu's command, the Bu Yong of the Huai Army under Cheng Xuerui, and the swordsmen of the Taiping Army led by Wei Jun, he was unwilling to use his trusted subordinates. , so on the way here, the samurai and archer ashigaru cards that were drawn in the previous treasure chest lottery appeared! At this moment, he heard that Li Chengxuan needed more manpower, so he secretly contacted the imperial system again, preparing to present a team of Chinese matchlock gunners and tiger squat gunners to the former. With the support of these system arms, Li Chengxuan and his As long as Cui Mingji, the boss behind the scenes, doesn't want to start a rebellion, ordinary situations are enough!
"One hundred and twenty elite Japanese pirates, forty-eight elite gunmen, and three small cannons, the number still cannot exceed 200! Brother Yuan Jingxian, how about you send more..."
Seeing that his request was accepted by the other party, Li Chengxuan decided to immediately hit the snake with a stick! This guy wants Kang Lin to allocate another group of people to mix with the previous elite Japanese pirates, matchlock gunners, and tiger squat gunners, pushing the total number of people hired to three hundred! However, to this guy's surprise, after hearing that he needed to hire more people, the other party not only sternly rejected his new request, but also left him directly and quickly boarded the temporary fleet flagship on the rickety springboard. The old lock ship "Songyue Mountain"!
Are you kidding me? One hundred and twenty real and fake Japanese, forty-eight elite gunners, and three artillery crews have left more than one hundred and seventy men, and they are still asking for more manpower. What do Cui Mingji and Li Chengxuan want to do? Are they going to rebel?
You know, the Goryeo Crusade Army has now gathered heavily in Jeolla Province and even Jeju Island. A war of unprecedented scale is about to slowly begin! By then, even one more elite soldier would be a huge help to him, and how could he free up manpower to hand it over to the two bastards Li Chengxuan and Cui Mingji! Instead of staying and embarrassing everyone, it is better to board the ship as soon as possible and rub oil on the soles of your feet...
"Brother Yuan Jingxian, brother Yuan Jingxian, please don't leave. Listen to a certain word. Listen to a certain word..."
"What, walk slowly, brother Nanhu, please don't be polite. I am in a hurry to go back to Tamluo to prepare for the war. If we have anything to do, we should wait until next time..."
Looking at Li Chengxuan who still wanted to say something on the dock, Kang Lin hurriedly urged Peng Yushu to command the Hunan Army's sailors to raise the sails and increase the speed of the ship. He did not want to accompany the former to slowly grow up here. You know There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Tamluo! So, as the huge hard sails on the masts were continuously raised by the Hunan Army's sailors, four warships, large or small, began to slowly accelerate towards the distant waters!
"Finally got rid of that annoying guy! Luo Da, let the brothers work harder and strive to return to Tamluo as soon as possible!"
Ganghwa Strait, Gyodong Island, Heuksan Island, Jindo, Jeju Strait, Yongduam Rock! After more than ten days of hurriedly rushing, the Chiyang temporary fleet led by Kang Lin finally quietly entered the peaceful Longtouyan navy camp one early morning at the end of March! Next, regardless of the fact that he had been traveling for days and his body had become exhausted, he immediately ordered the water camp duty star officer to prepare horses and send him and his personal guards to Tamna New City!
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Li Ruli, the special general of the Goryeo training supervising army, had not yet contacted the Jeju observation envoy Jin Qingyuan, and deployed troops in various places in Tamna in advance, so as to prevent the war from happening together and the Chiyang defenders in various places being caught off guard and being caught off guard by the Goryeo people! At the same time, the messengers who were responsible for liaison also mounted the Korean ponies native to Jeju and began to travel to various places in Tamna to summon all the civil and military officials from Chiyang to Tamna New City to attend a joint military-civilian meeting!
"Lord, except for the officials and generals who are staying in various government offices and military camps, most of my Chiyang officials and generals have gathered here. The meeting can officially begin..."
While the messengers were riding ponies to deliver orders to various places, Chief Kanglin Kangda immediately seized the time and began to change his clothes, cleanse his face, and take a break with tea under the service of his maids and servants. Then he looked brand new and energetic. The Jeolla Province Naval Control Envoy and Tamna Guardsman, surrounded by many soldiers and subordinates, sat on his golden chair covered with tiger skin in the White Tiger Festival Hall and began to wait for the arrival of his subordinates one after another!
At noon, the officials of the garrison nearest to the new city and Liu Laoliu, the magistrate of Tamna, arrived at the garrison office of Chiyang The chief officer or deputy general was sent to the garrison office in Chiyang New Town respectively. The difference was that the chief officer of the first division arrived in person, the general manager Zheng Nansheng, while the second division officer, because the chief officer Wang Tang had official duties, sent his deputy general. Chief Lu Dongsheng came over to attend the meeting; at the middle of the day, Yan Xiaosong, the magistrate of Dajing County, arrived at the official office of Xincheng Town; at the beginning of the first hour, Chang Jiansheng, the magistrate of Jingyi County who was farthest from Xincheng, also received the news from the courier and rushed to the official office of Xincheng Town without stopping!
Then, seeing that all the participating officials and generals had arrived, Yan Si, the military officer of the garrison office who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, immediately ordered his trusted followers to close the gates of the government and began to strengthen the security! Since the following meeting was related to Chiyang's life and death, the former raised the alert level to the highest level without thinking! And in this high-pressure environment, even if you are not allowed to sneak into the garrison office to steal some confidential information, even if you get even slightly closer, you will be ruthlessly arrested by the authorized guards. If you dare to resist in any way, you will be fully armed. The sentry can even shoot someone to death without warning!
Okay, this sounds somewhat callous and disrespectful to human life, but a great man from China once said that revolution is not a dinner party, and there is not so much tenderness. Therefore, in order to prevent the content of the meeting from being detected by interested parties, Chiyang senior officials With a bodhisattva's heart, it is understandable to resort to such thunderbolt measures. What's more, the Koreans who tried to get close to the garrison at this time had ulterior motives, so they were attacked in any form. No wonder Chiyang's personal guards were ruthless. !
"Okay, everyone, since everyone is here, let's get started! First of all, let me explain to you why we are so anxious to convene everyone for a meeting today! Because, according to our allies in Goryeo, this time The Goli imperial court had reorganized a crusade army with more than four thousand people on the advice of the old man Jin Yujin who was the chief political officer and the eight-level inspection envoy! And their target was none other than the people entrenched in Tamlua. We on the island..."
What is Shi Potian Jing? The words slowly coming from Kang Lin's mouth at this moment are Shi Potian Jing! When many officials and generals attending the meeting heard that the Goryeo court had gathered heavy troops and intended to make a comeback, their faces showed either worry, happiness, or disdain!
After all, it hadn't been long since the Bingzi chaos that had caused the Koreans to lose face. Everyone really didn't expect that they could get back on their feet so quickly. Not only did they get back on their feet, but they also had the courage to send four thousand troops to their side! Haha, are they joking or deceiving themselves as weak and incompetent? The Koreans can't afford to offend the invincible Jurchens, so they set their sights on their own side occupying Jeju. Is it possible that they are soft in their eyes? Persimmon? It seems that it is time to pour a ladle of cold water on their overheated heads, so as to save them from being confused and unable to tell the difference between good and bad! Hum hum, they are not qualified to fight Chi Yang!
"Lord, send me. I only need one infantry division, one artillery team, and one cavalry post to make those Korean sticks look good!"
"Oh, one division of infantry, one corps of artillery, plus one post of cavalry. Mr. Zheng, you think too highly of those soft-footed shrimps. A certain person only has half a division of infantry, one corps of artillery, and one post of cavalry. , it will make those Korean sticks unable to eat and walk around!"
"Hmph, you infantry landlubbers are very good at boasting! Without the help of our navy brothers, do you want to swim across the Jeju Strait carrying guns, cannons, and war horses?"
