"But... how can we do this? The big storm you mentioned... where can we find such a time like this?" Guo Bing swallowed and said hoarsely.
Lin Jue pointed to the sky again and said: "So, this is the reason why I just said that we need the help of heaven and earth."
"You...can you borrow the wind like Zhuge Liang?" Guo Bing said.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "I don't have that ability, but the most indispensable thing on our two Zhejiang roads is the wind. The prince has lived in Hangzhou for so many years, doesn't he know that every year from early June until the Mid-Autumn Festival, our Hangzhou
Do we have to go through several hurricanes? Why don’t we take advantage of the hurricanes to launch an attack?”
"Hurricane...hurricane?" Guo Bing's eyes almost popped out. He has experienced several emotional ups and downs today, but now is the time when he is most shocked. This Lin Jue is really crazy, he actually wants to
The idea of Ning Hainan launching an anti-bandit operation when a hurricane breaks out is too crazy.
"When a hurricane comes, the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart, the waves on the sea are like building floors, the wind is heavy and the rain is strong, and the waves are soaring into the sky. You actually want to launch an attack when the hurricane comes? It doesn't matter if you die, will the eight thousand soldiers and horses of the Navy be involved and finish with you?
?Bah!" Guo Bing cursed angrily.
Lin Jue frowned and said: "My lord, you are talking about the situation when the eye of the hurricane officially strikes. Didn't your lord notice it? In fact, before every hurricane strikes, there are always three to five days, even though it is windy and rainy,
But it will not cause devastating results. As the eye of the hurricane approaches, the wind and rain will become stronger, until the trees fall down and the houses collapse, just like the power of gods and ghosts. But before that, it will not cause too much damage.
.Why don’t we use these few days before the hurricane hits? During this period, the wind and waves on the sea are naturally not small, but the navy ships can withstand them, but the pirate boats cannot go to sea at all. Isn’t this what we want?
Are there any favorable conditions needed?”
"This..." Guo Bing didn't know what to say. He didn't know what Lin Jue was thinking, that he had such an idea. I'm afraid no one would think of launching an attack when a hurricane comes.
, this is simply shocking.
On the one hand, he felt that Lin Jue was simply a lunatic. It was crazy to launch an attack during the few days before the hurricane's center, where there was less wind and waves. But on the other hand, he felt that this plan was simply a genius plan. Because it was exactly what Lin Jue thought.
It is said that before the hurricane comes every year, there will indeed be a period of stormy weather, and during this period the navy's large ships can indeed operate at sea. This has been proven.
"It's too risky, it's too risky. God's business, if something goes wrong, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?" Guo Bing's throat was dry. He wanted to reach out for the teacup to drink tea, but found that the teapot and teacup had been engulfed by him.
Smashed.
"Your Majesty, this is a real sneak attack. Only by using the cover of the hurricane to launch a real sneak attack can you achieve success in one fell swoop. There are risks, but risks and benefits coexist. Your Majesty, please don't think that I only proposed this to save my life.
Regarding the adventurous plan, the prince only considers the plan itself, its feasibility and the comparison of risks and benefits, and then makes a judgment. I am not trying to make a big deal for the prince. If the pirates can be wiped out this time, and at the same time
It would be such an honor for the prince to resolve the banditry in the Guishan Island cottage. Not only the prince, but the entire Liangzhe Road will be the focus of the court, and everyone here, including millions of people, will also benefit greatly.
.The merchants and common people on the two Zhejiang roads will sincerely praise the prince for his wisdom and martial prowess, and there is no need to elaborate on the benefits."
Every word Lin Jue said touched Guo Bing's heart. Indeed, as Lin Jue said, if he could succeed, his situation would be greatly improved. Not only would he no longer have the worry of being criticized,
He can also win the praise of the people all over the world, especially the hearts and minds of the people along the coast of Liangzhe Road who have been devastated by pirates. And all this is what he desires most.
"I... don't know what to say. As far as your plan is concerned, although it is crazy and risky, it is not as good as the tiger's den. Sometimes risks are necessary. However, this matter is so big that I am alone.
A decision cannot be made. After all, this matter requires the mobilization of all the troops, horses and warships of Ning Haijun, and may have serious consequences. Therefore, the two commanders of the prefect Yamen and Ning Haijun must agree. Even if the king agrees
You, without their consent, I would still be unable to shoulder this responsibility." Guo Bing smacked his lips and said in deep thought.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "What the prince said is true. Of course, this matter needs the consent of all the yamen before it can be carried out. After all, even if Ning Haijun's army is mobilized, it cannot be hidden from the magistrate Yan and the others. Moreover, this matter also requires the consent of the magistrate's yamen.
I need your strong assistance, otherwise it will not be successful. But if the prince agrees, I am willing to work with the prince to persuade the magistrate Yan and others."
Guo Bing pondered and looked at Lin Jue without saying a word. Lin Jue said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will not involve old accounts, it's just about the plan itself. Your Majesty is here to suppress the pirates according to the order of the late Emperor. Your Majesty has
Quan made a suggestion to suppress the bandits. Prefect Yan will definitely ask the prince why he suddenly wants to suppress the bandits, which is actually very easy to handle. My suggestion is that the prince asks the merchants in the city to jointly submit a letter listing the evidence of the rampant pirates, and the prince will
To say that the pirate bandits have reached a point where they have to be punished is not because they want to suppress the bandits at this time, but because the situation forces them to do so. Prefect Yan must have nothing to say."
Guo Bing glared at Lin Jue fiercely, thinking: This kid has thought of everything, even his own words. It can be seen that he came here today expecting that he would agree. There is a feeling of being fooled in his heart.
Although he was angry, he had to admire Lin Jue's meticulousness.
"If you ask us seriously why we didn't report to the imperial court and let the imperial court issue an order to mobilize troops and horses to suppress the bandits, how should we answer?" Guo Bingbing said.
"This is easier to deal with, because... there is no need to mobilize troops at all. The strength of Ning Haijun's army is enough. Why does the court need to waste people and money to mobilize troops? Besides, this time we go to sea to suppress bandits, we can only use naval troops.
No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it is in vain if we cannot fight at sea. I think Governor Yan will not say anything more. As long as Commander Song and Commander Wang agree with the prince's words, Governor Yan will not say anything more about military affairs.
, that is a doubt about their ability. As long as Governor Yan agrees, everything will be easy to handle."
Guo Bing had nothing to say. Lin Jue had already thought of everything for him, so what else could he say? Although the risk of this matter was huge, the benefits after success would also be huge. Moreover, if he did not agree, Lin Jue would
The boy might really be able to break things out and expose them. Although he has a bad life, his life will not be easy after that.
After weighing several times, Guo Bing finally made up his mind.
"Okay, Lin Jue, in that case, I promise you. But I also need to discuss with Kun'er and the others here. After you go back, you have to perfect the details of the plan, and there must be no mistakes. Where is Yan Zhengsheng, let's work together
Just go and convince them. As for the two commanders of Ning Haijun, there is no need to worry. In short, since you have made up your mind to do something, you must make sure that nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, not only your Lin Jue's head will be lost, but also Ning Haijun's head.
All the officers and men, and even the heads of this king and the officials of Hangzhou Prefecture on the two Zhejiang Roads. Remember this, you are not doing it for yourself now, but for everyone."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will work hard to perfect this plan and ensure its success." Lin Jue said respectfully.
"Okay, go ahead. I'm tired and need a good rest. Hey! Nothing can make me live peacefully. Why is it so difficult for me to live peacefully?"
Guo Bing sighed and waved his hands, huddled on the chair and closed his eyes. Lin Jue bowed again, slowly stepped back a few steps, turned around and left quickly.
…
After leaving the back garden, Lin Jue breathed a long sigh of relief. It was actually not easy to persuade King Liang to agree to what happened today.
This plan this time is actually a crazier plan than the last trip to Guishan Island. The reason why King Liang agreed last time was that he was forced to take back the birthday gift due to the situation at the time. More importantly, it was actually the plan.
Even if it fails, it will not cause any huge losses. It will just be that I and a few others died in the bandit's lair.
However, this time the plan is different. If it fails this time, it will not only be a matter of dead people. If Ning's navy is annihilated by the pirates, the consequences will be that the land in eastern Zhejiang will be undefended, and it is likely to trigger
It was a huge disaster for the pirates to counterattack inland. Under such huge risks, it was of course an almost impossible task to convince King Liang to agree to this plan.
Of course, Lin Jue would not think that it was his threatening words that finally made King Liang surrender. It was just a small auxiliary means for Guo Bing to listen to what he said. If he was not such a bachelor and a scoundrel, Guo Bing would not be able to do anything.
He wouldn't be interested in hearing about this plan from himself.
In fact, Lin Jue never thinks that coercion is a good method. To convince a person, you don't rely on this method, but you have to understand it with reason and benefit it. Only if it is beneficial to the other party and the plan is very feasible
only then can the other party be truly willing to cooperate.
Lin Jue was thankful that he had done a lot of homework before coming. In order to convince Liang Wang Guo Bing this time, Lin Jue went to ask Fang Dunru for some advice. Although Fang Dunru was a little surprised that Lin Jue would suddenly be interested in those things in the court, but
Thinking about it, Lin Jue's ambition was to become an official. Perhaps he wanted to familiarize himself with the officialdom in advance, so he told him everything.
Lin Jue focused on asking some questions about Guo Bing. From Fang Dunru's words and his own analysis afterwards, Lin Jue realized something. He felt that the prince seemed to be in an unfavorable situation regarding this matter, and he must have
I want to get rid of this situation. And this is the final psychological breakthrough. If this bandit suppression operation is successful, it will be an opportunity for Prince Liang to reverse the situation. Sure enough, everything today has verified his conjecture. The prince can finally agree.
In the final analysis, the underlying reasons played a decisive role in this crazy plan, not the words he threatened.
