Chapter 1960 Under the emperor, the hero of the world
As Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Rong and other naval officers arrived with numerous ships, they immediately dispatched troops and generals, urged the ships to advance together, and used bows and arrows simultaneously. In a fierce battle, more than 2,000 Song troops were wiped out.
, and the number of people who drowned was countless, but a total of more than 3,000 people were captured alive and surrendered, which also caused a serious loss of vitality to the Song Navy that gathered at the Ship Division in Mingzhou City. Taking advantage of the situation, they advanced, Dayangshan, Xiaoyangshan, Zhoushan Islands
, Si Jiao Mountain, Daq Mountain, Sheng Mountain, Tanhu and other northern islands were all captured by the Qi Dynasty.
However, the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu died in battle to protect his nephew Ruan Liangzhongya, which still makes people sigh...
Located in the sea between Zhoushan Islands, there is a Qi Dynasty navy fleet, surrounded by a giant ship, riding the wind and waves, heading south quickly. However, I saw that the giant ship was more than ten feet long, more than three feet deep, and more than two feet five feet wide.
The scene is like a mountain, floating on the waves, brocade sails and flying birds, subdued dragons... It is like a mobile fortress on the sea, which can truly reflect the highest technology of shipbuilding in this era.
In the main cabin of this giant ship, Li Jun sat upright and frowned, and suddenly sighed and said: "Did the fifth brothers die in the battle this time? Now the naval fleet led by Xiao Er, Xiao Qi and Ruan Liang
You must have arrived near Peach Blossom Island, right?"
Tong Wei who was standing by said this and immediately replied: "Yes, the Youjianxi Cave on Peach Blossom Island is densely covered with hills and mountains. Although it is not a dangerous place to go on the seashore, it is also the highest peak of the nearby archipelago, separated from Mingzhou Prefecture.
The sea is not far away, and now we can take advantage of the situation to seize it. However, if we want to control the sea route to Peach Blossom Island, we must be wary of the invasion of the Song Navy navy, and I am afraid we will have to set up a stronghold to distribute our troops."
"Although our Qi Dynasty is currently resting and recuperating, according to His Majesty's decree, it is not appropriate to launch a large-scale war in the near future, but if we do not want to act rashly, the Song Navy will eventually come to trouble us. Instead of just taking advantage of the situation to counterattack and take down a few key island passes... Could it be that
cannot......"
Li Jun murmured to himself, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my military order, and let several naval forces gather and dock at Taohua Island to see if there are any Song troops guarding the island. I must go there in person."
, we brothers also happened to go to express our condolences to the Ruan brothers."
After listening to Li Jun's instructions, brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng, who were now taken as confidants by this gangster, Hu Jun and Hu Xian, both obeyed his orders. They also responded solemnly.
Compared with Zhang Rong, although Zhang Shun and the Ruan brothers are not blood relatives, they have broken bones and connected tendons. Not only do they confide in each other, they will risk their lives to save each other no matter who is in trouble. In comparison,
Although Li Jun is a sworn friend, he is so forthright and can say anything unless he opens his heart. However, Li Jun cannot make any excuses for other brothers. This makes it easier for him to control them.
The generals such as Ruan Jia, Zhang Shun, Xu Wen, Li Bao, Wei Zhaode, etc., whose distances and distances were slightly different among the various branches of the navy, were basically balanced.
And now Li Jun, who is the general manager of various naval divisions and the privy councilor of the navy, is now in Daming Mansion, and even in Yanjing, which is in the period of construction and repair, he has his own official residence, and is marrying one of the Han ministers in the North.
Li Jun had a very strong relationship with the local official family and had children with a lady who, although not very beautiful, was very gentle and virtuous and could support her husband and raise her children. After that, Li Jun traveled between Liaodong and Jingu.
, Jiaodong... and other coastal key passes, most of the time he stayed on this huge official ship guarded by the Jinghai Division directly under his command, which was like Li Jun's mobile official residence on the sea.
At this time, in and around the main cabin, in addition to navy boatmen, there were also a few servants with low eyebrows walking around. A few days ago, brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng were joking, saying that brother Li Jun and our brothers are now dead.
Wearing a big turban, although he can't be as arrogant and pampered as the stupid insect official, at least my brother is still a second-rank nobleman, so it doesn't hurt to show off a bit. It's better to recruit more maids and servants to serve him.
, only then can he have the magnificence of a high official in the imperial court...
However, after Li Jun said this, he smiled and shook his head, and immediately rejected the proposal of the two Tong brothers: "Whether our brothers were willing to kill themselves and follow brother Xiao Tang to rebel against the Song Dynasty, or now we have made great achievements and each received official titles.
Although one enjoys fame and wealth, one still has to travel thousands of miles across the ocean to risk his life and fight against the enemy in rivers and lakes.
I am fortunate enough to be trusted by Your Majesty to supervise and dispatch various naval forces. Naturally, other generals of the navy will go to fight in battle more often... The officers and soldiers of each navy will inevitably suffer casualties, and they will also suffer in the front line.
What do you think when you walk back and forth to tell the time and sit back and enjoy your leisure time?"
After listening to Li Jun's instructions, Tong Meng also said frankly: "It's the three men of the Ruan family who lost the fifth child this time. It's really sad. But the servants of the Song Dynasty have to come to trouble them. Now those servants
They had no choice but to rely on Mingzhou and other ports to intercept them. Also relying on their brother's previous predictions, Song Ting's navy was severely defeated and the ships traveling between Fujian Road during these days were not lost. But Song Ting was unable to do anything.
Bian will not give up for a long time, and if we continue to entangle in the future, I still don’t know that the brothers in the navy will inevitably be damaged."
Li Jun nodded slowly, and couldn't help but read aloud: "Yeah... It's just a small fight, killing the Song navy for a few battles on the sea, and at most seizing a few islands, it will still be entangled for a long time.
, after all, we still have to waste some soldiers, and after all, there is not much benefit to be found... Instead of leaving the Mingzhou Port and letting the navy dispatched by the Song Dynasty come to disturb it, shouldn't it be better to cut down the plants and dig up the roots?"
Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Hu Jun, and Hu Xian all couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing what Li Jun said. Hu Jun also immediately stood up and said, "Brother, could it be that he wants to gather a few naval forces to attack Mingzhou? But then
After all, the city shipping company is located close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are Huining Prefecture and other important places directly connected to the Yangtze River, which can be transported by boat, car and water.
Along with the rivers of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Hunan, there are also many Song naval forces coming and going. If they want to take it by force, the Song army on Jiangnan Road and Zhejiang Road will be alarmed and rush to help. Although we are not afraid of him, no matter on water or land,
It must be done in a big way.
And His Majesty issued a decree to rectify the people's livelihood and governance within three or two years, so as to teach the country to keep a low profile and recuperate. Now, although it is inevitable that there are occasional fights with the Song army in various corners, all the troops still need to recuperate until the national treasury is sufficient.
I am probably confident that I will turn the world upside down in one fell swoop, and then attack the Song Dynasty... Now, according to my brother's words, if we want to launch a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty's coastal areas and the military and state passes along the river, are we going to violate His Majesty's imperial edict?"
"Even if you have to obey and wait for the right time, you must also make the best use of the situation and adapt to the circumstances. Your Majesty is saintly and benevolent. He does not want to waste people and money after many battles. But how can the Song Dynasty be willing to sit back and watch us recover our strength?
I have an idea. I want to cut off one of Song Ting's fates. Now is an opportunity that cannot be missed. It will never come back. Even if it is unavoidable, it will inevitably lead to an army of labor, but it can be done once and for all... What's more, although Da Nong has a big strategy,
But if my plan succeeds, it may not necessarily involve a protracted effort to mobilize the troops and cause serious damage to the vitality of the country..."
Li Jun said in a deep voice, and then he suddenly stood up and gave a decisive order: "When the navy brothers commanded by the Ruan brothers meet at Taohua Island, I will also command the other groups of navy pioneers."
Make preparations, as for the official side... As soon as I received the documents, I immediately sent a speedboat to Haizhou to disembark, and asked the military commander under the Jianghuai Administration to forward the memorial to me. If the explanation is clear, it must be passed on overnight.
Go to Daming Mansion and ask Your Majesty to make a decision quickly!"
