Chapter 1386 The leader of the mixed river navy, the dragon enters the sea to seal the prince
A large number of ships are lined up on the sea level. Looking around from the ship, you can see the flags covering the sky. The ships are closely arranged, just like a fortress sailing on the sea. But on the vast sea surface
Looking up at the vast sky, one can see endless capes forming a vast expanse in the sky, making this fleet seem extremely small.
The other sailor brothers on the ship were talking and laughing in small groups, and from time to time they even laughed and cursed loudly, looking very leisurely and at ease. On the contrary, Li Jun, the leader of the eight navy divisions, stood at the bow of the ship, with his arms spread wide.
Facing the vast ocean and gazing at the spectacular sight of the sea and sky in the distance, I feel a lot of emotion.
Among the heroes who are famous for their proficiency in water, the three heroes of the Ruan family, Zhang Shun and others were the first to defect to the Xiaotang Dynasty. They had been sent to the sea several times in the past, so they were no longer surprised by the magnificent sea scenery. But Li
Although Jun was also a naval hero who was used to strong winds and waves. He became famous in the Yangtze River, and engaged in private salt business in the Xunyang River. Later, he became the leader of the navy in Liangshan River. He also worked in rivers, although he was on the seaside.
I have traveled once or twice, but never had the opportunity to sail across the ocean. Now I have sailed for a few days, and I can personally realize that the eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan are probably not even a pool of water compared to this vast ocean.
Not really.
It is said that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky. I, Li Jun, travel across the Yangtze River, roar in the Xunyang River, and with my ability can be the leader of the navy in the eight hundred miles of Liangshan. But now I am in this vast sea, and now I know that the sky is high and the sea is vast.
, just hanging out in the rivers seems to be insufficient. If one day I can travel across the world, manage overseas countries and become famous and establish a career, then I can live up to my lifelong ambition...
When Li Jun was thinking in his mind, Tong Wei and Tong Meng were walking towards each other. Seeing their sworn brothers looking at the sea, Tong Wei smiled and said, "The sea is so boundless and boundless.
After a few days of sailing, my younger brother couldn’t help but marvel. When we set sail earlier, it’s not that Brother Qi repeatedly boasted to us, saying that only those who can access rivers, lakes and seas are considered to be good at water. Our brother
The two of them also said that he meant to provoke a quarrel, but now it seems that what he said was true. But I don't know what my brother thinks?"
Listening to Tong Wei's question, Li Jun smiled slightly, and then said in a leisurely voice: "Two brothers, we first did private salt business in the Xunyang River, and we also taught the local comrades Green Forest who rely on water to meet people who are in awe, and throw themselves into the water.
In Boliang Mountain, we must help brother Xiao Tang accomplish great things, and build a barrier for eight hundred miles of water, so that the officers and soldiers of the navy will be frightened, and they will not dare to come easily to cause trouble for our navy brothers...
...
We brothers worked together in the rivers and did some big things to stir up trouble. I was just wondering. If one day you and I follow brother Xiao Tang to find another country and finally be able to sit back and enjoy peace, will we have another chance?
To sail thousands of miles, to expand the territory that we and other brothers have built, even if we can do great things with the ability of our brothers in the past?"
Brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng had always admired Li Jun for his far-sighted opinions on current affairs, but now they couldn't help being surprised when they heard their sworn brother's surprising words. Tong Meng also immediately said: "Brother Li Jun
What a great spirit! Military advisor Xu Guanzhong is well versed in the geography of the world. My younger brother has also heard him say that in the Song Dynasty, there were Japan, Goryeo, Vaishya (Ryukyu), Liugui Kingdom (Kamchatka Peninsula), and Jiaozhi in the South Sea to the east.
, Champa, Luohu, Zhenla, Bagan, Srivijaya, Java and other countries, Zhemohen plans to wait for us brothers to follow Xiaotang and become famous, and still hope to cross the ocean.
Can those alienated lands try to achieve great things again?"
Li Jun pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said: "Haha, I have heard people say before that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. But I thought too far. This is just a wish for the future. , it’s more important to take care of the big things in front of you.”
But even though Li Jun said this, his eyes were still looking to the other side of the horizon, and what was clearly shining in his eyes was a high-spirited look...
.............................
In the fleet heading to Baozhou on this trip, in addition to military advisors Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and the Five-Way Navy Division, there are also the Tianxiong, Crazy Demon, Hengchong, and Resolute armies. It is necessary to personally inspect Xiao Tang's momentum in overseas military states and the three states. Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin, Qiongyao Nayan, and Arich. During the voyage, Xiao Tang talked with Xiao Jiasui and other close brothers about the civil affairs phalanx and military strategies for running the northern base area in the future. At this time today, how many people are there? All the army lieutenants, generals and leaders also gathered in the cabin.
"In the past, when my brother was acting in an official capacity and mobilizing troops and horses in the name of maritime trade, even if he encountered an investigation by the Goryeo navy, he would have a merchant ship document issued by the city's shipping department. After going back and forth, he could roughly understand the Yellow Sea. The situation of naval patrols in the waters close to Korea. But now that we have made the incident public, and we have transported many troops and horses during this and subsequent sea movements, we must be able to hide it. If we encounter the military patrols along the coast of Korea again, The naval forces are only afraid of causing trouble."
In the cabin, Xu Guanzhong spoke first, and Han Shizhong beside him chuckled and said: "Korea cannot compare with Liao, and Xia is powerful. The Sa family has had several battles with those guys in the past, and it seems that they are not very good soldiers. , although it would not be a fool's errand if the whole country came to demand it, but the Sa family had stayed in the north for a long time, and they also heard that the Jurchen Aguda had led a few troops to defeat Goryeo before he became prosperous and founded the country. Since my brother will have to fight with the Jin Kingdom in the future, he will also have several battles with Goryeo. Moreover, considering the momentum, Goryeo will have to go to Baozhou and other places, but it will not be a fight sooner or later, but will it eventually be fought?"
Xiao Tang also nodded, thinking in his mind that since the Jin Kingdom was also backed by Goryeo, a country that had been established for about two hundred years and had a territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, he was thinking about whether it would be possible to use this country. It was a country that had a bloody fight with the Jin Kingdom in the past few years, but now it seems that it wants to develop and grow in the north, which seems to be in conflict with the interests of the Koryo Kingdom. At any rate, both the Song and Jin countries are now focusing on During the attack on the Liao Kingdom, taking advantage of this period to stabilize the situation in the north, the dispute with Goryeo was probably unavoidable.
The key is, how big should this war be?
The country of Wang's Korea is no better than the Li's Korea of the Ming Dynasty. Even if this country's military strength is definitely not comparable to that of the Song, Liao, and Jin, it is still very resilient. Although it still cannot escape the fate of a vassal state, it has fought against the Liao. , Jin, and even the Yuan Dynasty all-out attacks, during which they won many victories. Later, when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was even more prosperous, the war to conquer Goryeo lasted for forty-two years... Although it suffered a short-term setback. The military is the best, but the situation in the North has changed suddenly, and we don't have the energy to spend a long time with those guys...
After thinking about it in his mind, Xiao Tang then said: "Goryeo had an old grudge with the Jin Kingdom before, but it was not as powerful as the Jin Kingdom and had to succumb. The terrain in its country was mountainous, and the Liao Dynasty made several expeditions at that time. Although Goryeo was killed, Goryeo surrendered and begged for surrender.
Zhengshuo, but there is also the experience of the Liao Kingdom leading one hundred thousand troops to attack Goryeo during the Song Dynasty and being defeated... It would be unwise to attack the entire Goryeo with only our military strength. However, Goryeo was hostile to the Liao Dynasty at that time.
The Khitan was an ugly country, a country of beasts, but it attracted the Liao Dynasty to conquer Goryeo several times, kill it, and make it a vassal and pay tribute, and serve it as Zhengshuo;
Goryeo once despised the Jurchens, and also raised troops to conquer the Haolandian tribe to expand its territory to the north. They were defeated and defeated by Agu, so they had to send envoys to ask for surrender. According to my opinion, Goryeo has more than enough defense, but not enough progress. Sooner or later, it will have to fight with Goryeo.
The killing must be done in one or two battles until the men are dead. In the dream, they are also afraid of what will happen later. They only teach them not to dare to look north for a while like they did to the Jurchen tribes before, but then they can discuss with them again.
