Only when he was canonized by the Ming Emperor could he, Li Chenggui, be called the true King of Goryeo, and his legacy be sustainable and uninterrupted.
Therefore, when Li Chenggui received the order to attack the Ming Dynasty Navy at this time, he was in trouble.
Not to mention that he is not willing, but even if he is willing, if the Ming Navy is at sea and he has no ship, how can he go to the sea to attack?
"Dao Chuan, what do you think about this?" Before he could hesitate, Li Chenggui put his hope in Zheng Dao Chuan.
Zheng Daochuan never failed to live up to his expectations, and this time was no exception. He said with a smile: "The general still has to obey the king's order."
Hearing this, Li Chenggui even looked up at the roof and sighed, "Yes, this is why the general agreed without hesitation. But this promise is a promise. How should we do it? I would like to ask Taoist priests to clarify my doubts."
Zheng Daochuan nodded slightly and said directly: "Since the king's order is for the general to bring all the eight soldiers to the port to confront the Ming navy, then the general will do it. Anyway, there is not even a warship in Goryeo now, general
Even if you want to attack the Ming Navy, there is nothing you can do. Even the king will not blame the general for this."
Li Chenggui nodded. As of now, this is what he had to do.
"If that's the case, then General I'll just go and pretend."
After saying that, Li Chenggui sighed in his heart, "What is all this?"
However, Zheng Daochuan had something else to say, "General, don't take it lightly. This is an excellent opportunity."
Li Chenggui's heart moved, and he somewhat guessed what kind of opportunity Zheng Dao was talking about. He quickly straightened his expression and asked in a deep voice: "How do you say it?"
"The general must make good use of this time to lead the troops. It is best to have all the eight forces in his hands. This will be of great benefit to the general." Zheng Daochuan said seriously.
Seeing that Li Chenggui came over humbly, Zheng Daozhuan explained: "As long as the general controls these eight forces, he can advance and retreat freely. Even if the Ming Dynasty wants to attack Kaijing, the general can avoid the Ming Dynasty's sharp edge and leave directly with the eight forces.
.With these eight troops in hand, where can the general go? And if the Ming Dynasty really leaves, then the general can just return to attack Kaijing."
After conquering Kaijing, he would be the new King of Korea. Li Chenggui felt excited. Years of planning were finally about to bear fruit.
And even if he loses to the Ming Dynasty and takes away the Eighth Route Army, he can still claim the throne anywhere in Goryeo without caring about Wang Yu's face. These days, it is true to have soldiers in hand. If he has this
With the strength of the Eighth Route Army, the King of Korea could not be taken seriously at all. Even if he didn't like Wang Yu, he could directly raise troops to destroy him.
"Hahaha, listening to you is really better than studying for ten years." Li Chenggui laughed.
After years of hard planning, it was finally time to see the outcome, and Zheng Daochuan also happily agreed.
The next day, Li Chenggui did not hesitate at all, and brought all his troops to the seaside and the Ming Dynasty Navy in the sea to confront each other from afar.
He opened his eyes from his sleep, came to the bow of the ship, and saw the soup cauldron densely packed with people standing on the beach. He didn't believe his own eyes.
Afraid of being dazzled, I quickly rubbed it a few times.
After Tang Ding realized that the scene in front of him was not an illusion, he quickly ran back to the cabin and pulled Han Du up.
Tang Ding pushed Han Du all the way to the bow of the ship, pointed at the Korean soldiers standing on the beach and asked: "How did you know that the King of Korea would send a large army?"
After Han Du took a closer look, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He looked back at Tang Ding and explained with a sigh: "Although I have never met Xin Yu, I can tell from the credentials he gave to the Ming Dynasty.
Come out, this is an arrogant person."
Tang Ding nodded repeatedly after hearing this. In fact, not only Xin Yu, but also the envoys of Goryeo had an arrogant self-confidence that he didn't know where it came from.
"But we are in the sea. Even if he sends a large army, what's the use if he can't go into the sea?" Tang Ding is extremely puzzled by this. He obviously can't hit him, but Xin Yu still sends a large army at any cost.
Come.
Han Du clasped his hands behind his back and was not in a hurry anyway, so he patiently explained to Tang Ding: "How can an arrogant person think so much about doing something? In the eyes of such a person, the person who offended him must be punished, even if
Even if he can't attack us, he can show his power by sending a large army here."
Tang Ding suddenly understood and said: "So you retreated into the sea from the beginning just to show weakness?"
"Yes. I just want to create an illusion for Xin Yu, that is, we are not strong enough and dare not go ashore." Han Du nodded with a smile and asked Tang Ding, "You said, a person with arrogance and arrogance will not dare to go ashore when facing a lack of strength."
After the enemy is attacked, will he rush up? Even if he can't attack us, it would be good to put on a posture and increase his power. Anyway, we don't dare to go ashore, so there is no risk in doing so."
Tang Ding immediately understood. Why didn't he do something that was both risk-free and beneficial to Xin Yu?
So, from the beginning, every move of Xin Yu was within Han Du's expectation? Tang Ding took a deep look at Han Du and felt admired in his heart.
"But there's one thing we still don't understand."
Han Du looked like he was trying to answer his questions, nodded to Tang Ding and said, "Brother Tang, if you have any questions, please tell me."
Tang Ding was not polite and asked directly: "It's fine if King Xinyou doesn't know how to fight. Can't there be no one in Goryeo who knows how to fight? We have bombarded the shipyards and destroyed all the ships in Goryeo. They should know about our cannons."
That's awesome. Why are they still gathering at the beach now?"
"We don't know what the Koreans think about this," Han Du said calmly, "However, people always believe in what they see. Korea also has cannons. Maybe they think our cannons are the same as theirs.
.”
How could this be the same? Tang Ding was greatly surprised.
The cannons of the Ming Dynasty were very different from those in the past. Since Han Du replaced copper with steel, not only the weight of the cannons was greatly reduced, but the range was also increased a lot.
If it were replaced by the previous cannon, it would indeed be impossible to hit the Koreans at this distance, but with the current cannon, it can completely cover the Koreans.
"Then what should we do next?" Tang Ding looked at Han Du.
Han Du turned to look at the Koreans on the beach and said coldly: "I have said that I will destroy Korea in one battle. Since Xin Yu is so cooperative, wouldn't I be sorry if I don't give him a surprise?"
"Send the order, load all the warships, and fire three volleys." Only by being canonized by the Ming Emperor can he, Li Chenggui, be called the true King of Goryeo, and his inheritance can be sustainable and uninterrupted.
Therefore, when Li Chenggui received the order to attack the Ming Dynasty Navy at this time, he was in trouble.
Not to mention that he is not willing, but even if he is willing, if the Ming Navy is at sea and he has no ship, how can he go to the sea to attack?
"Dao Chuan, what do you think about this matter?" Before he could hesitate, Li Chenggui put his hope in Zheng Dao Chuan. .??.
Zheng Daochuan never failed to live up to his expectations, and this time was no exception. He said with a smile: "The general still has to obey the king's order."
Hearing this, Li Chenggui even looked up at the roof and sighed, "Yes, this is why the general agreed without hesitation. But this promise is a promise. How should we do it? I would like to ask Taoist priests to clarify my doubts."

"The order goes down, all warships are loaded, and three volleys are fired."
