Because he was "concerned about military affairs," Shen Yi lived in the military camp for the next four or five days and never left the camp once.
He got information about Ri Jie Lang's tribe from the Di News Department. In the past few days, two thousand families who had been fighting against the Japanese army and several hundred families who grew up on the seaside islands were thinking about specific battle plans together.
According to the original intelligence from the court, the Japanese pirate Li Jielang's home base should be Dongtou Island, not far from Yueqing. This is also the largest island in Wenzhou Prefecture. Many people settled on the island decades ago, but in the past two years,
In the past ten years, the Japanese pirates have caused serious trouble at sea, and most of the people here have moved inland.
Because the local government and army have been too weak in recent years, they have actually lost control of Dongtou Island. The last time three groups of Japanese pirates attacked Wenzhou Prefecture, the three Japanese pirate leaders gathered on Dongtou Island, and
Control all Japanese pirates remotely.
At this time, two thousand households and a group of hundreds of households were sitting together in the anti-Japanese army commander's account. A relatively detailed sea map hung high in the commander's account.
Ling Su pointed to Dongtou Island, the largest island on the map, and coughed: "Everyone, we originally thought that the Japanese pirates' lair was on this big island."
After saying that, Ling Su glanced at Shen Yi and saw that Shen Yi had no expression. He continued: "However, after Master Shen's investigation, it was found that this group of Japanese pirates are extremely cunning. Dongtou Island is just a place they use to trade with outsiders."
As he spoke, Ling Qianhu pointed further away and said, "And this is their real lair."
Everyone looked in the direction of Ling Su's finger.
In the direction of Ling Su's finger, there was a small island with three words written on it.
Beiji Island.
Compared with Dongtou Island, this island is only a very small island, and it is not even much bigger than Wusha Island, which was destroyed by the Japanese anti-Japanese army.
To be honest, people in this era are far from being able to understand coastal geography. If such an island had not been drawn on the sea chart, it would be difficult for even the fishermen on the coast to know the existence of this island.
Because it is too far from the seaside.
A full one hundred and thirty miles!
After a pause, Ling Su said, "In the past few days, we have agreed on a charter."
"The three large ships of our army are too conspicuous and cannot be easily hidden, so we plan to send these three large ships to and from Dongtou Island. Each ship will carry 300 people, plus some small boats, to make up for 1,500 people.
, clean up the Japanese pirates on Dongtou Island."
"In the past two months, our army has cleaned up the Japanese pirates along the coast, which will inevitably wake up the Japanese pirates. Therefore, the momentum on Dongtou Island will be greater, and then the other small boats will attack Beiji Island at night!"
"After the fighting breaks out on Beiji Island, the battle on Dongtou Island will be almost over. At that time, the brothers on Dongtou Island will rush to Beiji Island to support them and completely wipe out the Japanese pirates on Beiji Island!"
After finishing the specific battle plan, Ling Su turned to look at Shen Yi and lowered his head slightly.
It was only then that Mr. Shen stood up slowly. He looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, this time we will clear out the Japanese pirates. It will be two days later. At that time, Shen will personally accompany the army to conquer Beiji Island."
….
"This battle will not be as easy as Wusha Island. You must not take it lightly and be prepared for a hard fight."
"The success of this battle means that we have resisted the Japanese army and have the ability to face any Japanese pirates at sea."
Having said this, Shen Yi glanced at the crowd and said calmly: "Everyone knows that our anti-Japanese army is a bodyguard. Since it is a bodyguard, there should be a commander, several deputy commanders, and five thousand soldiers.
household."
"Currently, the commander and deputy commander of the anti-Japanese army are vacant, and only two of the five thousand households are actually in charge."
"There are still many vacancies."
Mr. Shen looked calm and said calmly: "This battle has been won. I can't guarantee anything else. I can guarantee that as long as you have merit, there is a lot of room for improvement."
In fact, there is someone in charge of the anti-Japanese army, and that is Li Mu, the crown prince of Jin Dynasty. However, Li Mu is now in Jiankang, so he can be regarded as "
"Remotely lead", therefore Master Shen's words cannot be regarded as painting.
Shen Yi looked at everyone.
"If this battle is fought well, our anti-Japanese army may be promoted to the rank of captain."
"By the time…"
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you all have to be promoted."
And this sentence is pure painting.
The Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court is unwilling to raise a new army. As for the current five thousand anti-Japanese army, most of the military salary sources are from Li Mu's forcibly copied homes. If the anti-Japanese army is adapted
As Dusi, the cost will increase exponentially. Even if the emperor has this intention, he does not have the money for the time being.
Unless one day these 5,000 anti-Japanese troops wipe out all the Japanese pirates in the coastal waters and let the sea route to Dachen become smooth again. By then, the imperial court will have a lot of extra income, and then it will be possible to expand again.
But drawing cakes is still very useful after all.
When they heard that they would get rich if they won the battle, these generals of the anti-Japanese army were all excited, and they wanted to lead their troops immediately to take advantage of the achievements.
After the mobilization meeting, these anti-Japanese generals immediately went down to prepare.
Two days passed quickly. At ten o'clock in the morning on the third day, three large anti-Japanese ships and almost three hundred small and medium-sized ships gathered at Yueqing Pier. As the flagship in the middle of the three large ships sent out a semaphore, everyone
The ships all set out to sea together with great momentum.
After the fleet traveled more than ten miles, they parted ways. The three large ships led some small boats to Dongtou Island, while the others headed to Beiji Island.
As for Mr. Shen Yi and Shen, he was naturally in the latter's fleet.
He was sitting in a medium-sized ship. The ship was very ordinary, with neither the middle nor the flagship mark.
There are almost fifty people in this ship, including three hundred households and Ling Su, a thousand households.
In Shen Yi's cabin, Ling Su hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Shen, what I want from my subordinates is that you should go to the flagship and go to Dongtou Island with Xue Qianhu, where Japanese pirates gather on Beiji Island.
"
Ling Su whispered: "I am really worried about your safety."
Shen Yi patted the armor on his body and said solemnly: "I am the imperial envoy in charge of the anti-Japanese army. Wherever the main battlefield is, I will naturally be there."
….
"I'm sitting here, so Ling Qianhu won't talk nonsense. If you fight well this time, you and my brother will be promoted and make a fortune together. If we fight badly, we might as well die together on Beiji Island."
Ling Su quickly said: "You are serious. Even if the fight is difficult this time, we will not lose to the Japanese pirates."
Shen Yi stood up with a smile, walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck outside. He asked the experienced sailor on the ship, and after learning the direction of Beiji Island, he looked in the direction of Beiji Island.
At this time, they were already about a hundred miles away from Beiji Island.
Naturally, the island cannot be seen.
After Shen Yi blew the sea breeze on the deck for a while, he went back to the cabin to sleep.
He had been quite mentally exhausted these past few days, so even on the boat, he slept peacefully. This sleep lasted until the latter half of the night and almost early in the morning.
It was Ling Su who woke him up.
"Sir, we are approaching Beiji Island."
Shen Yi woke up immediately, stood up and put on his armor while asking: "How far is it?"
"It's only five miles at most."
Shen Yi opened the cabin window and took a look at the sky outside.
In the early morning, it was almost dawn.
Shen Yi did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered: "Get close to Beiji Island immediately and try to land quietly. If you are discovered, use artillery to cover the landing of the Wolf Soldiers. Remember, use more firearms to minimize casualties!"
Ling Su nodded and immediately went down to give the order.
The fleet begins to approach Beiji Island!
When the sky was dark, Shen Yi's ship was only a little more than two miles away from Beiji Island.
more than four
A hundred steps is the distance of an arrow. Even with a favorable wind, bows and arrows cannot reach this distance. Except for artillery, it is an absolutely safe distance in this era. Shen Yi and Ling Su will conduct command at this distance before landing.
At this time, Shen Yi's ship had been replaced with the flag of the flagship, and the messengers began to stand on the deck and wave flags, commanding the other ships according to Ling Su's orders.
At this time, the two hundred ships had already been discovered by the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates on the island had already begun to form a formation to fight back.
Ling Su stood on the deck and roared: "The artillerymen aim to the south to cover the landing of the Wolf Soldiers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge arrow from an ordinary spear shot over with a "Hugh" sound!
This long arrow hit Shen Yi's flagship right in the middle. The force of the long arrow did not stop, and it directly penetrated the hull of the ship several feet, and directly nailed a ship plank to pieces!
After Ling Su heard the noise, he immediately stood on the deck and looked down. When he saw the long arrow, he was stunned!
"bed…"
He lost his voice and said: "Bed Crossbow!"
The anti-Japanese soldier Qianhu turned his head and looked at Shen Yi, who was watching the battle not far behind him. He was so frightened that his voice trembled: "Master Shen, crossbow, get into the cabin quickly!"
The reason why he is so scared is not entirely because he is afraid of death, but because he is afraid that Shen Yi will die...
After all, if Master Shen dies here, not only will his political life come to an end, but his physical life will also come to an end...
Shen Yi couldn't help but frown.
He looked at Beiji Island in front of him with a solemn expression.
Bed crossbow?
Isn't this something only the military has? Do Japanese pirates also have it?
Could it be given by Zhao Clan?
wrong.
Shen Yi himself rejected this idea.
There is no way Zhao clan is so stupid.
Master Shen looked further north.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something in his heart.
I understand why the Japanese pirates suddenly emerged along the coast of Dachen in the past twenty or thirty years, and why these Japanese pirates have been suppressed repeatedly.
Reminiscent of the tragedy caused by the Japanese pirates in Taozhu, Taizhou Prefecture...
