Chapter 69 East China Sea Raiders (1)
Chapter 69: East China Sea Guide (Part 1)
When the King of Goryeo saw Princess Xiuli dressed as an eunuch, he was stunned at first and then stood up tremblingly. The old eyes seemed to be full of disbelief and doubt.
"Father." Princess Xiuli took a quick step forward, tears rolled down her face and cried, "My daughter is unfilial." As she said that, she immediately accepted her in front of King Goryeo.
"Really, is it really beautiful?" King Goryeo also choked and asked a little puzzled. He hugged Princess Xiuli and said in tears: "Xiuli, I'm sorry for you for my father. I almost harmed you for my father!"
"Father, don't say anything more." Princess Xiuli also hugged him and said cryingly: "All this was voluntary by Xiuli. Fortunately, the bride-welcoming warrior sent by the emperor saved Xiuli."
The King of Goryeo trembled all over. He had been in a high position for many years, so he immediately figured out the reason. He hurriedly knelt in front of me and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates deserve to die. My subordinates are willing to accept the punishment from the emperor. Please do not punish the subjects of Goryeo."
I spoke without comment and said lightly: "Father-in-law, please come up. I have not blamed you for your thoughts, otherwise you would not be able to reunite your father and daughter. What I want to say is that Da Wu and Goryeo have always been as close as a family, and are connected by blood. What my father-in-law has plans in the future? Why don't you send someone to inform Da Wu early? Da Wu can cooperate actively."
King Goryeo looked overjoyed again, and after kowtowed again with gratitude, he said, "Your Majesty, I will never dare to have any unreasonable thoughts again. After this incident, I have had enough. Until Xiuli disappeared, I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. Only then did I realize that the most important thing in my heart is Xiuli. Now that I see Xiuli safe and sound, even if I die immediately, I will have no complaints."
I turned my eyes to Xiaoduozi, who hurriedly understood. I bent down and took a few steps forward, helped the King of Goryeo, and comforted softly: "Mr. The prince, the emperor is the most kind person in the world. Please get up."
"Thank you, father-in-law." The King of Goryeo stood up tremblingly, grabbed Princess Xiuli with both hands and asked about her warmth.
After they had told their father and daughter, I blamed him slightly: "Lord Taishan's incident is really reckless. If I hadn't reacted immediately, I would have been afraid that the Japanese pirates would have been."
"Your Majesty, I am really ashamed." King Goryeo sighed softly: "It was only after Xiuli disappeared that the old minister became suspicious. After a lot of investigation, he found that the national teacher who had been reborn as a ten-year-old in Goryeo was actually a Japanese. Only then did he figure out that all this was a conspiracy of the Japanese pirates."
"How is the national teacher now?" I asked.
"The old minister knew that this matter was of great importance, but he still did not realize it, and everything was as usual." King Goryeo said with a shame: "The old minister was in these days, looking for an opportunity to explain everything clearly to the emperor. He used the plan. Unexpectedly, the emperor's heaven and man came to earth and had already seen everything. The old minister was really ashamed."
"I am satisfied with this idea." I laughed and said, "If you have any questions in the future, just discuss with me. The family will not speak two families. But Xiuli still has to feel aggrieved. After finishing the Japanese pirates, she will restore her original identity and I will officially announce it to the world."
"Everything is decided by the emperor." The King of Goryeo could not have achieved such a perfect ending, so he naturally put down a big stone in his heart.
"Actually, I have something to come to you now." I frowned slightly and said, "Da Wu and Goryeo are always connected by their hands and feet, and their blood is thicker than water. Even if they are a little unfamiliar, they are still closed from home. However, the Eastern Turks have the heart of jackals and scorpion. Although they have formed an alliance for the time being, no one can guess what kind of ambitions the Eastern Turks are hidden. I want to remind my father-in-law, the two families of Da Wu and Goryeo must work together to guard against the Eastern Turks."
"The emperor is very worried." King Goryeo responded: "The Eastern Turks look like tigers and wolves, and they really have to be guarded. However, today, they were shocked by the power of the emperor's crossbow gun. They will not dare to fight back in a short time. After all, crossbow guns are not vegetarians."
I nodded. It seemed that the chess piece of Shi Zhenwei was also very clever. At least during this war, the Eastern Turks did not dare to make any abnormal movements. As long as they created an assumption, they transported a large number of crossbow guns to the border between the Eastern Turks and the Great Wu, and then transferred their border soldiers to the northwest to strictly prevent the rebellion of the three countries from sending troops to disturb Wu.
"Sir Taishan, it's still early. I won't keep you anymore. In short, Princess Xiuli is here, everything is safe and stable." I said with a faint smile.
The King of Goryeo immediately stood up and said goodbye: "Then I will be troubled by the emperor. I am tired and a little tired. I will go back to the other courtyard to rest."
"Xiao Duozi, send the prince back to the other courtyard for me." I waved my hand and looked at him again. Xiao Duozi also understood and called back a look, indicating that everything had been arranged.
The father and daughter said goodbye again and then they separated reluctantly.
After Xiaoduozi sent off the King of Goryeo, Princess Xiuli snuggled into my arms and whispered: "Thank you, the Emperor, to keep aside your past grudges, to reunite my father and daughter."
But I thought to myself that if I hadn't wanted to use Goryeo to restrain the Eastern Turks, I would have been reluctant to spare Goryeo this time. This time, Xiaoduozi sent the Goryeo Kings' Association villa, which was a play I had arranged long ago.
"Smile, I've been wronged to be a eunuch by my side during this period." I smiled terrified, and put my hand deep into her eunuch's clothing, holding her barely slim breasts. I teased: "It's good to solve my problems all the time."
"Your Majesty." Princess Xiuli moaned softly, fell softly into my arms, and gasped slightly, "Don't do this, this is your study."
"So what about the study room?" I Yin laughed, sniffed the faint fragrance she emitted, hugged her back, and walked towards my sandalwood Grand Master Chair: "The study room can be used occasionally to do other things."
I asked Princess Xiuli, who was hugged by me, had no time to echo a tender moan.
...
During the next few days, in addition to discussing strategies, the three parties held a banquet and cheerful banquet. On the fifth day, they finally finalized the starting tactical strategy.
First, the Koryoi Kingdom sent dozens of fast warships to harass the coast of Japan's Nagasaki Harbour and lead all the main warships of Japan to the East China Sea.
Then, the Eastern Turkic soldiers and 100,000 cavalry passed through Goryeo, crossed the strait through the large manned warships of Goryeo, forcibly landed near Nagasaki, and occupied the city of Nagasaki as soon as possible. First, it had a foothold in Japan, and second, it was to fully control the movement process and supplies of the Japanese pirate ships.
Next is the navy of Dawu, who cooperated with the Goryeo Navy to eliminate all the Japanese warships in the East China Sea. Once the Japanese warships are eliminated, it will open up the sea channel. In this way, the combat forces of the Three Kingdoms will be transported to the Japanese pirates' land in full.
After the tactics were finalized, the Eastern Turks and the King of Goryeo returned to their country as soon as possible and dispatched troops. When I was giving the Khan of the Eastern Turks, I accidentally revealed that more than ten thousand crossbows were transported to the border. I immediately made the Khan of the Eastern Turks pale. He also witnessed the power of the crossbows with his own eyes. Chen Heng was on the border between the Turks and the Great Wu, choking in the throat of the Khan of the Eastern Turks like a thorn.
After seeing them off, I immediately held an emergency secret meeting and arranged a series of mobilization activities. Because of his extraordinary experience in land warfare, Yue Chao was originally the best candidate for the command of this war, but the border troubles had to be guarded. In addition, I deliberately trained Jian Lingtai. He decided to let Yue Chao dispatch 60,000 troops from the Turkic border and 50,000 reserve troops to the borders of the Three Kingdoms such as Dali to prevent them from sending troops to harass Dawu.
Yue Chao's original 120,000 imperial guards were drawn out 100,000. In addition, Zhang Huang had trained for half a year and another 70,000 infantry were drawn out from the reserve army. A total of 200,000 Great Wu soldiers were led by me in the name of the imperial commander-in-chief.
The navy from all walks of life had already prepared under my orders and loaded the cannons from Spain. The navy had a total of more than 30,000 people from all over the place, equipped with 100 heavy artillery and 10,000 muskets.
The remaining 100 heavy artillery and 60,000 muskets were all equipped into our elite troops of Wu, and 30,000 were drawn from the Imperial Guards and the Reserve Corps to form a musket infantry regiment.
Another 10,000 soldiers were drawn out to form a gun regiment, which specifically used the hundred heavy artillery. This war was probably set off in August. If the Ministry of War expanded its production scale and continued production at night, it would probably be able to produce two thousand powerful continuous crossbow guns. It would be of great use when the time came.
There were still three months left before the expedition. Jian Lingtai was appointed by me to become an acting general, and he trained the expedition army. In particular, the Musket Infantry Regiment and the Artillery Regiment, he focused on training in order to master this new weapon as soon as possible.
Everything was going in an orderly manner, and time passed quickly. The Koryo and the Eastern Turks had already begun to take action, and good news came frequently. In mid-July, the Turkic cavalry occupied Nagasaki Port, one of the most important port cities in Japan with thunder. In cooperation with the Koryo Navy, the supply range of the Japanese pirate ships in the East China Sea line was completely blocked.
The Dawu Navy also set out quickly and cooperated with the Goryeo Navy to vigorously sweep the Japanese pirate fleet running around the East China Sea.
