Thinking of the king's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty a month ago, and the fact that he had just beheaded the Ming envoy and his party, Zhang Ziwen's heart sank suddenly, knowing that this was probably the Ming Dynasty's attack on the enemy.
However, he did not take it seriously when Ming Dynasty launched an army to investigate. After thinking about it, he asked someone to help him tidy up his clothes and prepare himself to argue with Ming Dynasty.
Just when his servants were helping him tidy up his clothes, he suddenly saw flashes of fire on Daming's ship, followed by loud thunder, and then he saw the shipyard and ships being shattered into pieces under the destruction of black shadows.
Make scraps of wood and float on the sea.
"No!" Zhang Ziwen was dumbfounded.
Didn’t it say that the Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette, and etiquette was the most important thing? Didn’t it say that the Ming Dynasty would be polite before attacking? Why was everything in front of him different from his previous understanding? He didn’t even say hello when he came up, but just opened fire with cannons.
The continuous sound of cannons continued. Zhang Ziwen no longer cared about arguing with Daming. He rolled and crawled away from here. He was afraid that if he took a step slower, he would be blasted into mincemeat by one of the cannons.
Just one round of shelling turned the shipyard and all the ships into wooden scum floating on the sea.
Then Han Du ordered the cannon to blast towards the port without ceremony.
After two rounds of artillery fire, the entire harbor was in flames, the houses were riddled with holes, and there were countless casualties.
Putting down the telescope, Tang Ding couldn't bear it. He subconsciously asked: "What should we do next?"
Less than thirty miles ahead is the capital of Goryeo, Gaijing.
Tang Ding calculated that in just thirty miles, if he took people off the boat, he would be able to reach the city in less than an hour, and he could completely catch Goryeo off guard.
But Han Du had a different idea, "Next, let's just wait here."
"Wait?" This reply was beyond Tang Ding's expectation, and he couldn't help but said loudly: "We are less than thirty miles away from the beginning of Beijing. We can completely catch them off guard. Brother Han, your troops are so fast."
Han Du put down the telescope, looked sideways at Tang Ding with a smile, and said: "It is true that soldiers need to be quick, but they must also be adjusted according to local conditions. One moment and another moment. If we directly attack the city, if we don't say anything else, we will definitely suffer losses from the siege.
Not small."
When Tang Ding heard this, he shook his head slightly, thinking that Han Du was still heartbroken about the losses in the last attack on Jinshan, and advised: "Brother Han is kind-hearted and reluctant to bear the casualties of soldiers, but how can there be no casualties in this battle? If we can defeat Goryeo by surprise.
Opening the capital, even if there are some casualties, it is still worth it."
"Of course it's worth it." This time, Han Du did not refute Tang Ding.
Then his tone changed and he said: "But since I have brought these soldiers out, I must try my best to keep them alive."
Seeing that Tang Ding had something to say, Han Du waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, I know the priorities clearly."
Then he smiled at Tang Ding and said: "This Xin Yu doesn't take the Ming Dynasty seriously, he is obviously an arrogant person. As long as we don't go ashore here and show a little weakness, he will definitely gather an army to show off his power, even if
You can't attack us, but you can also improve his prestige. When the time comes, I will give him a hard blow, and I will defeat Goryeo in one battle."
The range of cannons on warships, based on Han Duwei's winning theory of range, is already farther than ordinary cannons. If Xin Yu gathered a large army and thought that the naval cannons could not hit him, then he would
And if you take it lightly, you can really catch him off guard.
The heavy losses were minor. Maybe there was a chance to annihilate Goryeo in one battle just like Han Du said.
Tang Ding was excited as he thought about it, but at the same time he began to worry about gain and loss and asked: "Then, what if he doesn't dare to come?"
Han Du said firmly: "No. He has just succeeded to the throne, and what he needs most is prestige. As long as he is not stupid, he will not miss this opportunity."
Not stupid? This is the real stupidity, right?
Tang Ding thought casually, looking at the people fleeing towards Kaijing on the shore, he couldn't help but feel full of expectation.
Zhang Ziwen was the first to escape, and he ran the fastest. Therefore, he was the first to escape into Kaijing.
As soon as he entered Kaijing, he went straight to the palace city.
Just at the gate of the palace city, Zhang Ziwen was stopped.
Xin Yu was different from his reclusive father, King Gongmin. He not only liked hunting, but also beauty, and even more fun. He also liked to visit privately incognito and play with women from good families, and even prostitutes, and he even raped these singers on more than one occasion.
An example of bringing it back to the palace.
It can be said that it has reached the point of "doing everything and doing no evil".
Regarding his various behaviors, there were naturally many courtiers in the Goryeo Dynasty who could not stand it. Therefore, at the beginning, several courtiers took turns to admonish him almost every day. He was so annoyed that he finally just closed the palace door.
The ministers he summoned were not allowed to enter the palace if he guarded it to the death.
Zhang Ziwen was stopped at the door. He was pacing anxiously back and forth with his hands shaking. He happened to see Pan Yichun, the left attendant, coming out of the palace. He quickly shouted, "Master Pan, something bad is going on. I have something important to do. Please hurry up, Master Pan."
Report to the king."
Pan Yichun was not interested in slanderous ministers like Zhang Ziwen, but seeing his anxious expression saying that he had something important to report to the king, he walked over and asked with a stern face: "What happened?"
Zhang Ziwen was a smooth man and didn't care at all about Pan Yichun's sarcastic remarks. He quickly pulled him aside and said, "Master Pan, something bad has happened. The Ming Dynasty is here to investigate."
"Are you kidding?" Pan Yichun looked at Zhang Ziwen with disdain. Although he did not agree with the king's execution of the Ming envoy, and he also bluntly advised the king at that time, he did not think that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to investigate. Besides, he did not think that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to investigate.
Well, as Zuo Shizhong, he has much better information than Zhang Ziwen. He has never received any military reports from the north.
How did the Ming Dynasty raise troops to punish the guilty? Is it possible that they could fly over?
Zhang Ziwen quickly explained: "How dare you talk nonsense? The Ming Dynasty is really coming, and it's the navy, right on the seaside. They burned our shipyard and all the ships. I'm afraid it won't be long before your Excellency can see
To those who have escaped."
"Are you telling the truth?" Pan Yichun really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would come from the sea. Thinking of Goryeo facing the sea on three sides, his back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat.
"It's absolutely true." Zhang Ziwen didn't think as far as Pan Yichun did. He just thought that it would be safe to escape to Kaijing. If he could report the news to others, he might be able to make meritorious deeds and relieve him of the guilt of escaping back.
Pan Yichun suddenly exclaimed: "The country is in danger!"
Zhang Ziwen was shocked when he heard this, but Pan Yichun didn't talk nonsense to him and directly pulled him towards the palace.
"Quick, go with me to report to the king." Thinking of the king's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty a month ago, and the fact that he had just beheaded the Ming envoy and his party, Zhang Ziwen's heart sank suddenly, knowing that this was probably the Ming Dynasty's attack on the enemy.
However, he did not take it seriously when Ming Dynasty launched an army to investigate. After thinking about it, he asked someone to help him tidy up his clothes and prepare himself to argue with Ming Dynasty.
