Chapter 716 The Third Young Master's Revenge
Meng Gong said proudly: Today, Brother Yulin didn't even dare to hold a wine glass when he came to Taijian Hall. I will make him surrender after three glasses of wine, hahahaha.
Ah Qian knew Zhao Yulin's alcohol tolerance and that he was much younger than Meng Gong. How could Meng Gong be drunk? Yulin must have been pretending to take care of her husband.
She immediately said with a smile: Our husband is capable and has surpassed Brother Yulin. Let's go take a bath.
The woman quickly called the maid to serve, and helped Meng Gong to the bed to rest .
When I turned around, I saw myself sitting alone in Tingyu Pavilion outside the house, crying.
The maid beside her said carefully: Madam, don't worry, I believe the master will get better.
Ah Qian said: The master is just holding on, he just refuses to admit that he is old. Oh my, what man in this world is willing to say that he is no longer capable?
A Qian is a girl from a brothel. The maid knows her worries. The master's sons are all living in other places and they don't get along with A Qian because of her background.
If anything happens to the master, what will the lady do?
The maid hesitated for a moment and said: Madam, don't worry. Our king believes in equality for everyone, men and women are the same. The third young master is kind-hearted and will definitely treat our madam well.
Ah Qian's face suddenly flushed, like a red-hot iron pot emitting steam. Fortunately, it was at night. The woman whispered to stop the maid, blaming her for talking nonsense and telling her to shut up.
In the Imperial Palace of Japan, Emperor Amaterasu was sighing and saying that she was useless and incompetent and why she couldn't control those barbarians in the shogunate.
Shogun Fujiwara came to him and told him that the Shogunate predicted that the New Song Dynasty would invade the empire and had already issued a notice to recruit soldiers and collect taxes. He requested the imperial edict to call on the people to fight to the death rather than live in disgrace and to take active action to defend the country from foreign enemies.
Emperor Amaterasu had no choice but to do whatever Fujiwara said. Otherwise, if Fujiwara was upset, he might be put into a sack and sunk into the sea. The shogunate could always replace him with an obedient emperor to serve.
After the whole of Japan received the order from Emperor Amaterasu, the Shogunate accelerated its recruitment of soldiers, and military camps in various places were bustling with the hustle and bustle of troops.
Workshops everywhere were ablaze with fire, all of them were forging weapons. Ironware was being confiscated from house to house in the city and the countryside, and even cultural relic-level iron doors, iron axes, and metal treasures used for sacrifices were seized and handed over to the general's mansion, causing a huge blow to the livelihoods of folk stonemasons.
People always need to eat and drink. Iron pots and iron tools were no longer available, so stonemasons used large bluestone to make stone pots, stone jars, stone axes and stone hammers to sell, and people lined up to buy them.
The island country of Japan was full of smoke and fire as they were smelting steel. No matter how good the technology was, they were just beneficiating ore. The war machine of the island country was actually running efficiently.
However, it was a step too late.
The naval formation of the Kamui Army Navy set out from Ryukyu Road and took the lead in launching an attack. A large number of speedboats approached the Nagasaki port of the Japanese island nation and quickly controlled the coastal islands. After the naval guns on the giant ships fired fiercely at the port, the marines immediately carried out a landing operation.
How could these Japanese troops, who were holding javelins and swords and had not received rigorous training, resist the attack of Zhou Ping's Marines? They lost the port in minutes. The Shenwei Army landed on the island in large numbers, marking the beginning of the cleansing of the evil elements in the Japanese island.
Later, a large group of the Kamui Army set out from Busan and sailed across the Tsushima Strait in ships that blocked out the sun, and landed on the island in an endless stream.
Just two days after Emperor Amaterasu received the report from the New Song Kingdom, the report of the loss of Kyushu came. She sat on the dragon chair in a daze and pretended to be dead.
In fact, although the island country of Japan was under the strong control of the shogunate at that time, it was just a period of separatist rule by warlords who each acted independently.
Everyone could unite and invade Goryeo for the common benefit, and fight for their own interests when they returned home. Even after Fujiwara issued an alarm that the new Song Dynasty was going to land on the island to fight, there were still lords fighting for their own little piece of land.
Therefore, if Fujiwara wants to truly unite the Japanese pirates to fight against the Kamui Army, he will need to use some brains.
However, this problem could not stop the super-intelligent General Fujiwara.
This guy was stunned to see Kyushu crumbling and some states even raising white flags to surrender to the Kamui Army. He could not believe that the Amaterasu Empire, which he had the final say, was so vulnerable.
His chief of staff Matsushita said maliciously: If you want these poor devils to kill the enemy without regard for their lives, you have to send the emperor to see Amaterasu and then put the blame on the Kamui Army. When these poor devils see that the gods in their hearts are gone, they will definitely unite around the general and rush forward to kill the enemy without regard for their own lives.
Seeing that he was stunned, the staff member raised his hand knife and skillfully cut his neck, making a standard neck-wiping action.
Fujiwara almost slapped his thigh and shouted "Great!"
This guy dreams of ruling the world and getting rid of the constraints on his head. It's like someone gives him a pillow as soon as he wants to sleep. Haha, killing the emperor to get rid of the constraints is one thing. Putting the blame on the Shenwei Army and gathering a strong resistance force for the empire is another. It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, this assassination attempt was carried out on their own land, and it would be absolutely foolproof if they carried it out on the territory they controlled.
Fujiwara decided to do it, and he had his close chief of staff Matsushita lead the team, and called on a hundred samurai to do the work.
At the port of Nagasaki, military situation was being discussed at the headquarters of Liu Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwei Army.
Miao Gui, Feng Guiqi and Zhou Ping were all drinking tea happily, praising the Japanese for their good lifestyle. They also said that many ancient buildings were preserved in the city, which had a strong Han and Tang Dynasty flavor.
Liu Zheng reported to everyone in a very relaxed manner: After the Marines landed and opened the city, the Shenwei Army's infantry followed closely, and now the cavalry has all landed on the island.
Everyone laughed.
Feng Guiqi looked at Liu Zheng with great satisfaction and said: He heard that the Korean soldiers were very cruel and would massacre any warrior family and castle that offered the slightest resistance. This situation should be paid attention to.
Because many lords had surrendered with their soldiers, there were inevitably relatives among the generals and soldiers. The indiscriminate massacre could easily arouse the anger of the surrendered rebels , leading to riots.
Liu Zheng nodded and said it was okay. He would let the newly formed Goryeo army supervise the battle of the surrendered Japanese soldiers on the island. The Japanese soldiers must rush to the front and capture two cities to show their loyalty.
The guy smiled evilly and said: This is called paying a pledge of surrender. If they don't get their hands stained with the blood of their own people, there is no guarantee of true surrender. He told the three marshals that the signing army really dared to take action. Most of these people were children from poor families. They were fed up with the exploitation of the shogunate and the lords, and they would kill people when they broke into the lords' homes.
Feng Guiqi was very satisfied and reminded Liu Zheng not to be careless. The Mongols slaughtered the city and left young and beautiful women behind. We should also follow the rules of the Third Young Master and leave obedient people behind. He would not go to the front line. How to fight was Brother Liu's business. He and Vice State Lord Miao were drinking tea here.
Miao Gui said: He is leaving too. The army has occupied Kyushu and has firmly set foot on the land of Japan. He is going back to Busan to plan logistics and keep in touch with the Chengdu court at any time.
Liu Zheng asked him to report to the King of Zhao that everything was safe and going well, and he guaranteed that everything would be done properly.
Miao Gui smiled and told him not to worry, as every memorial from his brother would be sent directly to Chengdu without any changes.
The King of Zhao has another trick, the frog leapfrog tactic, which he wants to pass on to his brothers. The King thinks that if the brothers on the front line feel that they have enough troops, they can attack from multiple directions, skipping the island where the fierce battle is currently taking place and attacking the Japanese from behind, which will accelerate the demise of the island country.
Liu Zheng's eyes shone with gold, and he said in surprise: Great, Third Young Master also thought of this, he is really a genius. The brothers were planning to capture the leader first, and they wanted to rush directly to the Amaterasu Palace, capture the little emperor and force him to surrender.
Feng Guiqi shook his head and said: The one who actually holds power in Japan is the Shogun, so if we want to capture someone, we must first capture Fujiwara.
Liu Zheng continued to explain that although the young emperor had no power or influence, he had always been worshipped by the Japanese and his prestige was still there. If we captured the Japanese emperor and let him give the orders to surrender, things would be much easier.
Miao Gui nodded happily and said: "What to do is up to you, brothers. The Third Young Master has given the order." However, no matter how great the merits of this expedition to Japan are, there will be no promotion in rank. The Third Young Master said that in the future, only the generals of the Shenwei Army will be promoted. Don't blame the Young Master for not wanting to give up this empty title.
The guy laughed and said that he was only interested in serving his country and had no other desires.
Feng Guiqi happily told him to get busy.
Miao Gui looked at Zhou Ping and Feng Guiqi and said: The island country of Japan is like a broken pie, made up of islands of all sizes. The Japanese pirates have scattered forces and low combat effectiveness, and are no match at all. It is enough for Liu Zheng to worry about it in the front, and he will return to Busan.
Feng Guiqi said to Zhou Ping that the infantry could contact the navy for support at any time. Both armies were familiar with the methods of coordinated operations, so the two of them would coordinate from here.
The King of Goryeo has already announced to his subjects that they will submit to the New Song Dynasty, and has also dispatched 50,000 troops to fight on the island. This is his way of making his intentions clear to the court.
Zhou Ping nodded, thinking that there were enough troops participating in the war. If there were too many people, the logistical support would be difficult. He took a sip of tea and said: His brain was not working well, so he was drinking tea and enjoying the scenery with General Feng.
The three of them laughed and went out together to send Miao Gui to the dock.
The large ships on the sea were like a swarm of crucian carps crossing the river, densely packed in and out in an orderly manner. Teams of soldiers on the docks lined up to go ashore, shouting slogans, and weapons, supplies, and food were piled up like mountains.
Miao Gui exclaimed: This is supported by the powerful financial strength of the New Song Dynasty. If it were the Lin'an court, you wouldn't even think about it.
Zhou Ping nodded and told them to look carefully. All the ships docked in the port were brand new. The displacement of the three giant ships could replace ten or twenty old ships.
Miao Gui laughed loudly and bowed to say goodbye.
When this girl returned to Busan, she was immediately warmly received by the young Goryeo emperor and prince Wang Dian. The young emperor was nervously concerned about the war, asking whether there were enough manpower, whether Goryeo should mobilize to expand its army, and whether there was enough food and grass. He said that Goryeo had already surrendered to the New Song court and was now a family, so he asked Vice King Miao to give orders.
