"My lord, it is clear that those who want to achieve great things will not cling to personal grudges. Haidongqing has great ambitions, and he will never lose big things because of small things. Therefore, if Guishan Island Village wants to surrender,
He will definitely get what he wants. If the leader of Guishan Island shows some sincerity and offers the real murderer of Qiu Biao as a meeting gift, then the last trace of grudge between them will disappear." Lin Jue said softly.
"You mean... I'll give you to Hai Dongqing as a meeting gift?" Guo Bing was surprised again. He somewhat understood what Lin Jue meant by going to the island in an upright manner.
"Exactly, Your Majesty, the leader of the Guishan Island village has agreed to help us destroy the pirates. This time, she will pretend to surrender to the pirates, capture me and send me to the pirates' lair, and negotiate the terms of surrender with the pirates.
.She will bring more than a hundred people to the island. When our officers and soldiers attack, they can cooperate inside and outside to seize a pier to bring the officers and soldiers to the island, or they can kill people and set fire to the island in the pirate lair to create conditions for the officers and soldiers to land on the island.
.What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Guo Bing's eyes showed excitement. He stood up and walked slowly. He suddenly stopped and frowned and said: "Although your method is feasible, I have a few things that I don't understand. First, after you landed on the island, didn't you die immediately?"
Paul, Haidong Qing will kill you immediately, what good will that do to you? Secondly, I know that the bandit leader of Guishan Island is familiar with you, and you have joined forces to kill Qiu Biao. But why do you think she will not fight back?
Shui? If she leaked our plan to Hai Dongqing, wouldn't Hai Dongqing be able to use her plan to ambush us? Wouldn't it be a disaster? Thirdly, based on what you said, the plan of combining inside and outside will still be difficult to work.
What role can the remaining people play in the pirate lair of tens of thousands of people? I'm afraid they won't be able to move at all."
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise. Please tell me in detail. I know that after arriving on the island, Hai Dongqing is afraid that he will take action when he sees me, but your Majesty does not need to worry about this. I have already prepared a countermeasure, and I will act accordingly when the opportunity arises."
However, if I am really killed, if I can help the prince to quell the pirates' troubles, then I will die a worthy death. At least, even though I am dead, my Lin family will be preserved. When the time comes, the prince will take more care of my Lin family, that is.
That’s all.”
Guo Bing looked sideways at Lin Jue, disbelieving his awe-inspiring words in his heart. Just now he dared to threaten himself to save his life, but now he has become like a saint who kills himself to become a benevolent person, lying to ghosts. But this is not important in fact, he
Whether Lin Jue has a way or no way, this is his own strategy. If he really dies, he can't blame others.
"As for the question that the prince is worried about whether the leader of Guishan Island can be relied upon, I can guarantee it with my life. In fact, the leader of Guishan Island is in my home, and she has secretly protected me several times.
Only then did I escape from Hai Dongqing's men. She and I have actually become good friends, and the reason why she is willing to take risks in this plan is actually conditional."
"Conditions? Haha, let me tell you, how can such a good thing happen? It would be great if there are conditions, but it would be strange if there are no conditions." Guo Bing nodded.
"The people on Guishan Island actually no longer want to be bandits, and are regarded as a thorn in the side of the imperial court. But they are worried that the imperial court will not let them go, so this time they want to reach an agreement with the imperial court through this matter, that is, to appease the Guishan Island cottage.
Pardon all the people in the village and allow them to become citizens and stay where they are, farming, fishing and hunting. They will no longer disturb the surrounding areas or oppose the imperial court. I think this is the best solution for both the imperial court and them.
The prince is fully capable of helping them do this. If the prince can agree, not only will the pirate problem be solved this time, but the Guishan Island cottage will also disappear. This will kill two birds with one stone." Lin Juechen
vocal tract.
Guo Bing suddenly realized that it turned out that Guishan Island Shanzhai wanted to recruit people, and wanted the court to pardon all the gangsters' crimes and allow them to naturalize on the spot. This condition was indeed very harsh, but it was not difficult to achieve. After all, they were the court's favorites.
In addition to this cancer, it is also what the imperial court hopes to see most. In comparison, those conditions are completely acceptable.
"I see. If she really has this intention, I can make the decision and agree to them. But... Lin Jue, you are very courageous. You have made friends with the bandit leader and you are harboring her at home. You know how to harbor her?
Do bandits deserve any crime?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "My lord, is this interesting? She is a bandit, but the bandits treat me better than the officers and soldiers. She can come here to protect my life secretly, but besides her, who cares about my life and death?"
Guo Bing smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, I'm just saying that. In fact, I don't have any prejudice against the people in the Green Forest. There are also people among them who are sincere and sincere. There are some guards in my palace who are from the Green Forest. I
The king doesn’t really want to blame you.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will give you the answer to the third question that Your Majesty just mentioned. In fact, the so-called cooperation between inside and outside does not necessarily mean that you need to disturb the other party's nest. More than a hundred people are indeed too few, and it may not be possible.
What kind of climate. But at least one thing is that being in the bandits' den, you can find out the opponent's troop configuration and fortifications, as well as the location and defense situation of the dock. These are extremely beneficial intelligence. These things are often more beneficial than murder and arson.
"
Guo Bing nodded and said: "That makes sense. If we can find out the information about the island's terrain, fortifications, soldiers and horses, and the location of the docks, it would be extremely beneficial to the battle. There are messenger pigeons in the army, and the pigeons can be used as liaisons to send out information.
, I agree with this point.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Your Majesty is someone who has led troops and fought in wars. Naturally, he understands the importance of knowing yourself and the enemy. I won't mention this matter anymore. As for the issue that Your Majesty has always mentioned that the opponent's military strength is several times greater than ours,
I will analyze it with the prince now. Although the pirates claim to be 50,000, their number should be less than 40,000. Of course, this number is already four or five times that of Ning Haijun. If we really compare 8,000 to 34,000
, the chance of winning is still very slim. But the prince must not forget that the pirate's nest is Peach Blossom Island, and there are more than ten surrounding islands under his control. These islands guard the Peach Blossom Island bandits' nest, and soldiers and horses must be stationed on them.
Although I don’t know the specific number, how can there be tens of thousands of pirates stationed on more than ten islands around it? It’s probably difficult to control an island if there aren’t even a thousand or eight hundred of them.”
Guo Bing clapped his chin and said: "Exactly, if you don't tell me, I have forgotten this. When I led the army to suppress the bandits, they dispatched from several islands northwest of Taohua Island to intercept our navy.
. There are several islands in there, and they are not small. Thousands of pirates gathered there back then. Now, at least half of the pirates are stationed on the surrounding islands."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's it. In fact, for them, the periphery is the most important. The limit of keeping half of the pirates on Taohua Island is already the limit. So if they can land on the island, Ning Haijun will not face all the pirates.
Bandits, but less than 20,000 pirates at most. This account cannot be miscalculated."
Guo Bing nodded slightly. But suddenly he shouted: "No, once a fight breaks out, how can the pirates not provide reinforcements? Besides, you talk about it, but you don't tell me how to fight on the island without being attacked by the pirates."
Tangled in the sea? This is the more critical point."
Lin Jue chuckled. "My lord, do you agree with what I said above? If you agree, I can talk to my lord about this key issue."
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Assuming that I can accept what you said before, please tell me this crucial step."
Lin Jue smiled slightly, pointed to the floating clouds in the sky and said: "How to fight on the sea without being entangled by pirates, this matter can only depend on God."
"What? Presumptuous! You bastard, are you entertaining me again?" Guo Bing was furious. He reached out and grabbed the only chair that was still alive, and was about to throw it at Lin Jue. He was really about to be killed by Lin Jue.
I felt so angry that this bastard really didn't take me seriously.
"Your Majesty, don't smash it. What I'm saying is not to leave it to fate, but to rely on timing." Lin Jue shouted these words in time before the chair reached him.
Guo Bing raised his chair into the air, stopped there, rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty, sit down first and let me explain slowly. Aren't you tired of holding up the chair?"
Guo Bingbing snorted and placed the chair heavily on the ground. His wrists ached a little. He had exerted too much force and might have twisted a muscle. He rubbed his wrists and said angrily: "Speak quickly, don't sell it."
Lin Jue nodded hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, I have a question. Are the pirate ships big or small?"
"What's the point? Where did they get the big ships? They all travel on the sea in small boats. There are thousands of small boats and only a few large ships. This is all information obtained by Ning Haijun." Guo Bing said angrily.
"Then let me ask you again, are the warships of our Ning Navy and Navy navy big or small?"
"You still have to ask? The Ning Navy is currently equipped with 237 warships. They are all two-masted wooden ships, three feet high, five feet six wide, and twenty-two feet long. Each ship can carry more than 200 soldiers.
, set up three crossbows and two archers..." Guo Bing said as if he was counting his family treasures.
Lin Jue raised his thumb and praised: "Your Majesty is indeed concerned about suppressing bandits, and he knows the equipment of the Ninghai Navy very well. So, let me ask you, which one of the small boats of the pirates or the big ships of our navy can withstand the wind and waves better?"
Guo Bing opened his mouth and cursed: "Are you trying to amuse me? Do you even need to ask? You bastard."
Lin Jue said seriously: "Please answer me, Your Majesty."
Guo Bing stood up and wanted to smash the chair, but he still held back and spat: "The bigger the ship, the better it can withstand wind and waves. This is a truth that all three-year-old children know, don't you know?"
Lin Jue clapped his hands and said: "Okay. In other words, one of the advantages of our navy's large ships compared to the pirates' small boats is that their ability to withstand wind and waves is much stronger. So let's imagine that if the officers and soldiers attack when there are strong waves on the sea,
In times of emergency, can the pirate boats still maneuver freely and fight us on the sea?"
"..."
"Assuming that they can't even go to sea, can they only huddle on the island and watch our war captains drive straight to the island to launch an attack on the island? Can they only give up using the sea as a battlefield and can only fight with us on the island?
Fighting? Isn’t it even possible to rescue each other?”
Lin Jue asked a series of questions, but none of these questions needed to be answered, because the answers were all there. Guo Bing opened his mouth and looked at Lin Jue blankly. What Lin Jue said was essentially only four words.
Make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. The most powerful thing about the opponent is that they have countless small boats interspersed with the formation of the large ship, and then use the method of frogmen to dive and scuttle the large ship, supplemented by the use of hooks and hooks to board the ship. All this is based on their ability to fight at sea. If they can even
If you can't stay on the sea, then all these methods will be useless.
