Since the Guishan Island incident, no one has turned a deaf ear to Lin Jue's plan, even the furious King Guo Bing. A person who can perfectly complete a plan that seems to be about to commit suicide is definitely worthy of this job.
respect.
"Yes, I have a plan that may be able to wipe out the pirates. Do you want to hear it, Your Majesty?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"You might as well...let's talk about it." Guo Bing said hurriedly.
Lin Jue smiled. Although Guo Bing was aloof, he was like a primary school student who had to bow his head. To a certain extent, Lin Jue felt a sense of pleasure. Even if you are a noble prince, there are some things you have to bow your head to.
Because you were caught, there are so many things in this world that you have no control over, and there are so many things that you have to do.
"Your Majesty, my plan is not to report to the court to mobilize troops, but to use the Ning Navy to go to sea to destroy the pirates and solve the banditry problem once and for all." Lin Jue said.
"What? Is this your plan? Eight thousand navy against thirty to forty thousand pirates? Is this to suppress the bandits or to die? If Ning's navy really has this strength, why did I reject you before? Are you the one who
Is Wang happy? Ridiculous! Absolutely not!" Guo Bing angrily shouted. He never expected that in the end, Lin Jue would still use the strength of Ning Haijun's army to die, and he felt even more angry at being fooled.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. Of course, things are not that simple. It would be best if we had more troops, but mobilizing troops from other places requires the permission of the court. I think this is something your Majesty does not want to see, so we can only rely on this
The strength of eight thousand navy troops. But these eight thousand navy troops are not going to die, but to wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop. If they can succeed, Your Majesty, this will be a great achievement. I think from now on, Your Majesty will be in the court
Then you can straighten your back, and everyone who sees the prince will be in awe."
"Hmph, the moon in the sky is beautiful, but can you pick it? If you draw a big cake for me, will I be tempted by you? Eight thousand soldiers and horses versus thirty or forty thousand pirates, and it's on the sea.
In combat, do you really think that the pirates are just a mob? Are you going to run away after hearing the news? You have no idea how powerful the pirates are. When the late emperor was in power, he once ordered me to gather tens of thousands of naval troops for a crusade, but the result was, I
The imperial navy was completely defeated. What do you know? You dared to claim that eight thousand naval forces would be used to suppress the bandits."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Is the prince talking about the war in the 13th year of Jinxiu? I heard that the imperial navy had 20,000 soldiers, and the pirates only had more than 10,000 people at that time. At that time, I thought I could wipe out the opponent in one fell swoop, but in the big battle
The pirates were defeated at sea, and more than 6,000 people were killed in the sea. In the end, they had to withdraw their troops. This also made the pirates famous, leading to the current situation, right?"
Guo Bingbing didn't answer with a smile, but he still recalled the sea battle that year in his mind. He thought he could wipe out most of the pirates in one fell swoop and complete the task in one battle. However, the reality was so cruel that it was unimaginable. Thinking about it to this day, it still lingers in his mind.
The sounds and images of the sailors wailing on the sea surface emerged, and I still remembered the tragic scene of countless ships sinking at sea.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the original war was a tactical mistake, which led to that ending. Who are the pirates? They travel through the waves all day long, and their ability to sail ships and sea battles is unmatched. The Imperial Navy
Most of the battles are trained in inland lakes and rivers. How can the situation in lakes and rivers be compared with the sea? The battle was lost because the chosen battlefield was the sea. The pirates' boats shuttled like fish, and they were even more aquatic.
The best pirates sneaked into the water and scuttled the big ship. Their combat power, maneuverability and combat methods on the sea were not as good as them. It would be strange if they could win." Lin Jue said solemnly.
Guo Bing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Lin Jue said made sense. Lin Jue seemed to have been present at the time, and what he said was absolutely correct. The pirates were using the flexibility of the boat to cross and divide their formations on the sea.
.A large number of water ghosts also sneaked into the bottom of large ships and dug through the ships, causing a large number of warships to take in water and sink. Although the navy soldiers were also able to swim, they were useless on the sea. The war was almost one-sided. In the end, if they had not retreated in time,
The consequences may be even worse.
"You mean... what is the correct tactic to fight?" Guo Bing couldn't help but ask.
"We use our strength to attack the enemy's weakness. To put it simply, we treat our navy as infantry and fight them on the island instead of placing the battlefield on the sea. Use the weapons of the imperial army.
The armor configuration is much better than that of the pirates. Although the pirates are large in number, do all of them have armor and weapons? Apart from a weapon in their hands, they actually have nothing. Even if they have weapons, they don’t know how to use them.
There are all of them, and some people are nothing more than a harpoon, a spear, or even a wooden club. Think about it, my lord, if well-equipped officers and soldiers fight head-on with pirates on land, there will be incidents like that on the sea
Is it a battle situation? Not to mention one against ten, but one against two shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
"Oh! That's right. Damn it!" Prince Liang was so excited that he slapped his thigh and cursed.
But after a moment, Guo Bing frowned and smacked his lips again: "Of course fighting on the island is as you said, the pirates are no match for our officers and soldiers. But... how can we land on the island? We also tried to attack the island at the beginning.
It's just that the pirates got the news and went out in full force, so we had to fight them on the sea. In addition, we were a little arrogant at the time, thinking that we had more troops and could fight on the sea, so we suffered a big loss. In addition, don't forget,
They claim to have 50,000 pirates. Even if they are bragging, there are probably at least 30,000 pirates. Even if 8,000 soldiers and horses land on the island, the opponent will have four or five times my soldiers and horses, which will probably be difficult to deal with. You can handle these things
Have you considered it?"
Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty asked well, these are the key points of this plan. Since I proposed this idea, I must have a solution. First of all, in order to show my confidence in this strategy, I will go to the bandit
Nest, as an internal response. If it fails, I will also die on the island to show my determination."
"You went to the bandits' lair to act as internal agents?" Guo Bing looked at Lin Jue blankly, suddenly burst out laughing, shook his head and said: "Lin Jue, Lin Jue, you really think you are omnipotent. Guishan
The success of the island is already your great luck. Do you still think God will favor you this time? Besides, what is the use of going to the island? Can you fight one against ten thousand or what? If you have such ability
, there’s no need to be afraid that Hai Dongqing will send people to kill you. Hahaha.”
Lin Jue said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am not joking. In fact, there is no need to have the ability to defeat ten thousand people by cooperating inside and outside. As long as you can cooperate with the army to land on the island, it will be considered a success. Moreover, I will not go alone, I will know some people
Go forward with your hands."
Guo Bing laughed even more and said: "You have lost your mind. You said it very easily. Don't forget, it is on the vast sea. Do you think you can touch the island like last time?"
"I'm not sneaking around. This time I'm going openly." Lin Jue said.
"Crazy, you are completely crazy. Are you just above board? Tell Hai Dongqing arrogantly that your eldest son, Lin Juelin, has come to the island? Do you want Hai Dongqing to kneel down and kowtow to welcome you, eldest son Lin Juelin? Hey! Seriously!
It's so whimsical that I regret listening to so much nonsense from you. Lin Jue, you can go away. I won't kill you. You can do whatever you like. If you want to report, you can report. I just want to explain it to the Holy One.
That's all. Do you really think that I am afraid that the court will know about this matter? I do have a reason. There is no solid evidence that Hai Dongqing intends to rebel. If there is no solid evidence, how can it be publicized? Wouldn't that make people in eastern Zhejiang popular?
Panic? Cause unnecessary turmoil? What do you think of this reason?" Guo Bingbing said with a smile.
Lin Jue said softly: "Your Majesty, I'm not crazy. I naturally know that Hai Dongqing hates me to the core and wants to crush me to ashes to avenge his son and vent his anger for me destroying his rebellion plan. How did the prince want to prevaricate with the court?
Lin Jue is not interested in the reason at all. I and the prince are seriously discussing the plan to suppress bandits, not just talking nonsense."
"Aren't you just talking nonsense? Then tell me how you went to the bandits' lair in a fair and just manner?" Guo Bingbing said with a smile.
Lin Jue said quietly: "If I surrender, wouldn't he welcome me?"
"What?" Guo Bing opened his mouth so wide that he could fit a piece of pig urine into his mouth, and his face was as dull as a fool.
"Your Majesty, Haidongqing wants to get rid of me quickly, so I will do what he wants and send him to his door. But I am not going to die. Your lord, you should know that Haidongqing wants to unite the green forest villages all over the world to cause trouble, especially Guishan Island
The cottage attracted his attention because of its important geographical location and strong strength. He sent his son to Guishan Island precisely because seizing the Guishan Island cottage was very important to them. If at this time, Guishan Island
The leader of Shandao’s Dazhai is willing to submit to Hai Dongqing and cooperate with him in his major affairs, what will happen to Hai Dongqing?" Lin Jue said softly.
Guo Bing recovered from the shock and frowned: "I don't understand what you mean. If the Guishan Island village wants to unite with Haidongqing, it will naturally be Haidongqing's dream. It's just... this matter
How could it happen? Isn't the current bandit leader on Guishan Island the daughter of Gao Yuankui? That Qiu Biao killed Gao Yuankui, and the female bandit leader joined forces with you to kill Qiu Biao. The two sides have already had deep grudges and become mortal enemies. How could it be possible that suddenly
Unite in one place? Besides, if they unite together, wouldn't it be even more detrimental to us? What does it have to do with your plan to attack the pirates?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Majesty, listen to me. First of all, Qiu Biao killed Gao Yuankui, and Gao Yuankui's daughter set up a trap to kill Qiu Biao, but in fact, the two parties are basically settled. If we talk about grudges, there is certainly some.
I believe that Haidongqing will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on Guishan Island. But if Guishan Island is willing to surrender to the pirates, from the prince's perspective, will Haidongqing be willing to abandon the past grudges or refuse Guishan Island's surrender and continue to be an enemy?
?”
"This..." Guo Bing twisted his beard and fell silent.
In fact, the answer is obvious. If the Guishan Island cottage surrenders to the pirates, it will be a very beneficial thing for Haidongqing. Not only will its strength increase a lot, but it will also take advantage of Guishan Island's geographical advantage of guarding the main canal.
The pirates counterattacked inland to create an extremely favorable situation. If Haidongqing refuses such a good thing because of personal grudges, it only shows that Haidongqing's structure is too small and he is not a person who can do big things at all. Then this person is actually not worthy of doing anything.
Concern, pirates will not become a big trend.
Although Guo Bing did not answer, he actually had a very clear answer in his heart. If such a thing happened to him, Guo Bing, he would not hesitate to abandon his past grudges, choose to write off the past, and accept the kindness of Guishan Island.
