446. War Uprising State
After winter, everything in Jizhou withered. In the bitter cold wind, only smoke from the farmhouses rose.
There was a different scene in the Jizhou camp. The whole camp was in full swing and was already making the final preparations for the battle.
The time to move to Goryeo is inevitable. It is still unknown how long it will take. In addition, the number of miles to Goryeo is to go north to Goryeo, so the most important thing in marching and fighting is to prepare supplies for long-term combat.
In previous operations, this was the most troublesome problem for the generals - the logistics support channel. Whether ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the smooth flow of logistics support lines is always greater than anything else.
But now, this will not cause us much trouble, because with my navy as support and support, the pressure of logistics support has decreased in a geometric multiple!
Simply put, it is like opening a cheat or opening a gold finger in the game. As long as there is resources behind it, it can be transferred to the front at a very small cost and consumption!
But the problem is that the rebellions within the Ming Dynasty were one after another, consuming and involving the excessive energy of the Ming Dynasty, the behemoth, so that even though he knew that the Japanese pirates in Japan were very powerful, he could only draw more than 40,000 troops to assist Goryeo at the first time. At the same time, he drew elite troops from the navy forces on the southeast coast, that is, more than a dozen warships of the Fu-class class were rushed to fight.
In terms of materials, Emperor Li Han of the Korean Emperor Li Han and his cowards, who were seeking help, could not help at all. These peninsula garbage were very good at internal fighting, but they knew almost nothing about anything else! Before our side advanced, the Ministry of War sent troops to communicate with Emperor Li Han of the Korean Emperor Li Han, and asked him to provide supplies nearby to solve the problem of logistics supply.
As a result, Li Han, the stupid emperor of Goryeo, replied in a hurry that now the eight paths of Goryeo have lost seven and a half, and most of the land has lost their opponents. Therefore, it is OK to help coordinate money and food, but it is completely unavailable!
In addition, since the evacuation - the elegant saying of escaping - was relatively hasty, the royal family has no spare money to turn over. I beg the Great Ming Dynasty to give money and grain to help turn over...
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty not only had to bear its own supplies, but also specially distributed 20,000 taels of silver to support the emperors of the "country" to overcome difficulties...
This history always makes people feel ashamed. Gao Liren has been synonymous with cowards for generations. He was a dog from the Ming Dynasty five hundred years ago, and a dog from the United States five hundred years later. A small country has few people, so where do they place it is really a real pig teammate.
Therefore, before this war, the Ministry of Revenue focused on mobilizing food, grass and military pay from the surrounding areas and transported it to Jizhou for transportation. Looking at the villagers who came to dispose of the grain, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion!
Back then, when I was reborn, wasn’t it because of this situation that I came to Guangning to get rid of grain, and then I had all the same things that happened in the years?
Eating Jizhou persimmons that were just coming down in November, watching Ye Sizhong happily loading soldiers, horses, money and grain into my fleet, I couldn't help but be amazed. Since I proposed the concept of "Marine Corps", the old boy Ye Sizhong has almost shined with his eyes!
Originally, he and his cavalry were going north from Jizhou with money and grain, and rushed to the border to join Li Rusong's Liaodong army. But now with my assistance, his pressure on progress has almost been reduced by 80%!
The sentry provocate in front also sent back news that the main force of the Japanese Western Army was entrenched east of Yizhou City and was ready to attack the city at any time - that is, the last piece of land of King Li Han of Goryeo. If Yizhou is lost, Goryeo can officially declare its destruction.
Li Rusong and his 40,000 troops have now completed assembly in Anton, near Shuangfeng Island, Dandong in later generations, and are ready to cross the Yalu River at any time to rescue the tragic Emperor Gaoli Li Han!
The war was about to set off, and we could not wait any longer. Before we could wait for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty navy led by Deng Zilong, my fleet began to carry Ye Sizhong and the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by him to head north, targeting Dandong and Shuangfeng Island!
During the journey, we left the Bohai Sea and entered the Yellow Sea. That morning, the mist of water was already falling from the sky. Lan came to tell me that there was the Andong waters ahead, and we would be able to reach Shuangfeng Island in a few more hours.
Under the announcement of the drum, the entire fleet was busy and made final preparations for the upcoming battle!
It was almost noon and the fog gradually dissipated. Seeing our fleet arrive, several small boats sailed out from the shallows of the waters ahead, heading straight towards our fleet.
After more than a hundred steps, they met each other's commands, but it was Li Rusong's army's few naval forces coming to provoke. They knew that it was Jizhou's troops who arrived, and they were all happy.
After thinking about it, I asked the army to continue waiting on the ship. Ye Sizhong and I were light and simple, and landed in a lifeboat with the navy troops who came to pick them up to meet the combat commander-in-chief Li Rusong, the eldest son of Li Chengliang.
Shuangfeng Island arrived in a short time, and I didn't know anything and headed straight to the central army's tent.
Today, Shuangfeng Island has been occupied by the Liaodong Army. It can be said that every five steps is one post or ten steps. When I saw me wearing the governor's clothes, I was so young, and all the soldiers looked at me sideways, all of whom were holding my identity.
There are also some officers who had known each other when fighting against the Jurchens and Tatars. When they saw it was me, they all greeted me enthusiastically and excitedly!
Time flies, and many years have passed. Under the wind, frost, rain and snow, many young men have slightly frosted temples. It is really time to make people grow old and make people feel flawless.
When he walked to the central army's tent, the soldier reported that a man walked out from inside, with his armor clanging and striding towards me!
When I stopped and looked up, I looked and dressed up like that, which was undoubtedly Li Rusong himself back then! It was just a commemoration that he looked particularly old in his thirties. I guess he had a hard time in his military career, and it was because of his long-term training.
This powerful general who was in the Northeast looked at me for a moment, suddenly bowed to me and said loudly: "Governor Sun! It has been many years since we parted. My father always said that the Ming Dynasty is now the younger generation, and with his skills as a photographer, there is no talent in the world that is better than that of Governor Sun! Now that the Governor has returned overseas, I can fight side by side again. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the world's blessing!"
I sighed in my heart that the young boy who only knew how to bend his bow and shoot arrows and command and kill, now he has become an old official who knows how to wear a high hat when he meets him. Time and experience are indeed the best teacher!
But I had no intention of saying these kind words to him, so I bowed and replied, "Excessive!"
Seeing that I was capable, Li Rusong nodded and turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation to the tent, and said, "Please Governor Sun!"
I also raised my hand: "Please, Shuai Li!"
In front of everyone, we entered side by side and entered the central army's tent.
All the generals in the big tent were there. Looking at the map placed in the middle of the big tent, they were obviously studying the next battle plan.
Li Rusong walked to the end of the tent, where there were two tiger-skin chairs, one slightly centered and the other slightly left. He was not polite and said to me to the left-side chair again: "Please, Governor Sun!"
This was originally a ritual. He was the commander and I was the admiral of the navy. He was half a square in height. What's more, I didn't care about these red tape, so I raised my hand to politely sit down.
Seeing us sitting down, a sergeant immediately raised the wooden board with the map, with the angle facing us both.
After Li Rusong sat down, a general was majestic and said to the heavy general below: "You are obeying the order. Now the reinforcements of the imperial court have arrived. He led the army to Sun Qilan, who fought side by side with his father in Liaodong and defeated the Tatar Jurchens in one fell swoop! Governor Sun governors the navy and 4,000 cavalry in Jizhou, will help our Liaodong army counterattack Goryeo and repel the enemy of Japan's slut!"
The generals in the tent stood attentively, obviously very concerned about Li Rusong's words. This also made me feel extremely strange - the commander of a friendly army has such unified thoughts and prestige, which is a good thing. But thinking about Li Chengliang's family entrenched in the northeast and was even more aggression against the Jurchen Nurhaci raising tigers, I couldn't help but think about him.
But these words cannot be said in person. After all, the enemy in front of him is not Nurhaci, nor is it Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, but the Japanese who invaded Goryeo.
So I waved to the soldiers and said briefly: "Work together and fight to kill the enemy." Then I turned around and looked at Li Rusong and asked, "What is the situation of the battle now? When will we start the attack? What is the situation of the enemy in front of us?"
Li Rusong was not pretentious, stood up, walked to the map and pointed, "Governor Sun, you are here on the front line, but you don't know yet, let me briefly describe it."
As he said that, he pointed to the location of "Yizhou" written on the map and said loudly: "King of Goryeo King Li Han is extremely subordinate and all shrank in the city of Yizhou. The Japanese Western Army, Hashiba Hideyoshi's army, was in power, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Mori Hiromoto was siege but did not attack. He was preparing to capture the last city of Goryeo after the food in the city of Ishiba was cut off and achieve a complete victory."
I wondered: "The combat effectiveness of the Goryeo army is extremely low. Why didn't the Japanese pirates take advantage of the momentum of the previous victory and conquered Yizhou in one go, and insisted on siegeing but not attacking?"
Li Rusong smiled and said, "What Governor Sun asked was very reasonable. According to the front line, after the Japanese Shibata Army landed in Busan, it attacked Daegu and Seoul. Now the vanguard has gone north to the vicinity of Pyongyang. The main forces of its army are Shibata, Tokugawa and Ida, and the power is unstoppable! Therefore, the Hashiba Army surrounding Yizhou City did not dare to act blindly, for fear that it would attack the city in front and be exposed behind it, so it could only surround but not attack!"
I nodded and said, "So that's it." After saying that, I began to ponder.
Seeing me pondering, Li Rusong knew that I must have something to do, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of everyone, so he told everyone knowingly: "The battle in Yizhou is imminent now! The generals immediately return to the camp to prepare for war. Our army will cross the river from the narrowest part of the Yalu River near Linjiang within the next two days, and go north to support Yizhou! Now we will return to the camp to prepare for the preparation!"
The generals agreed and left.
When Li Rusong and I were left in the tent, he sat down again and asked me in a low voice: "Governor Sun, before I went to war, my father had said many times that Governor Sun had both wisdom and courage, and had many strange strategies. This war should be guided by Governor Sun's wisdom and strategy. I saw you pondering and not speaking, I guess there must be something important to advise!"
I sighed and said, "The whole family of Li's family is actually the humerus of the Ming Dynasty. Qi Lan is ashamed. But when it comes to things, there is indeed one thing!"
Li Rusong's eyes lit up: "I wish to hear it carefully!"
I also stared at Li Rusong and said something after a long time:
"In this battle, three points are on the battlefield and seven points are behind the scenes. General Li, do you believe what I said?"
Li Rusong was shocked. He led his army to Goryeo. He was ready to fight the war to the death. When he suddenly heard what I said, he was confused in his heart. He immediately got closer again and said in an extremely low voice: "I hope Governor Sun will give me advice!"
I smiled slightly, stretched out my finger, and told Li Rusong about my plan...
Chapter completed!
