The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 268 Adjustment and Deployment

Of course, Song Yi is not qualified to command this experimental ship with more than 700 officers and soldiers. It is related to the emperor's next development direction of the navy and changing the current water warfare model, and everything is being carried out in secret.

But it also further revealed the emperor's

Ambition', because even though the current navy of the Song Dynasty is the strongest in the surrounding countries in terms of total tonnage of ships, ship-based weapons and equipment, and training level of officers and soldiers, and has no rivals, this test ship is not the same from any aspect.

Like it's just for show.

The Weiyuan was severely damaged in the storm and could not be repaired in a short time. Although the sailors were not damaged, they were severely exhausted after fighting for so many days in hunger and thirst. They also needed a period of time to recuperate and recover, so they could only temporarily

He stayed on Fulong Island. But Song Yi used the communication system here to quickly transmit his combat experience, the situation on Shenmi Island, and the deployment and actions of the Jin Army during this period back to Dengzhou, providing the latest battle report.

The Megatron was much luckier than the Weiyuan. It was blown to the sea far away from the route by strong winds, escaped the center of the hurricane, and even picked up a treasure - the Korean envoys. Their ship was damaged by the wind and waves, and they took a

A small boat floated here, and it happened to be hit by the Megatron

Rescued. The two teams of people who were suffering from the same disease drifted on the sea for five days and arrived at the coast of Wendeng Prefecture in the Song Dynasty before they were able to escape. The Korean delegation was escorted by the local state capital to the capital. After the Megatron replenished supplies,

Heading to Dengzhou Base...

Song Yi's military intelligence report and the news of the arrival of the Goryeo envoy were sent to the emperor's desk as quickly as possible. Although a few days passed, Zhao Tao, who had no idea about the enemy's situation, was still very happy. He immediately summoned several important officials overnight.

Discuss next steps.

"The Shenmi Island Weiyuan battleship broke through and sent a battle report to Fulong Island. The Jurchens used the navy's roundabout method to break through Baozhou, an important border town on the Goryeo border, and then went down several states to besiege Xijing. The northern part of our Shenmi Island base has been occupied by the Jin

military occupation

The territory and the port were blocked by the enemy navy, cutting off contact. Now the Goryeo army has collapsed, and the army has no fighting spirit. It relies entirely on the support of the veteran Jin Fushi. Its leader Wang Kai sent an envoy to me for help. Asking for troops to be rescued." Zhao Tao pointed.

Map said.

"Your Majesty, the situation has changed a lot from when we first sent out troops. Are we still implementing the plan?" Zhao Ren asked first.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in Goryeo is dangerous. Our plan is to stop the enemy at Baozhou and Dingzhou. But now the Jurchens have penetrated deep into its hinterland. If Xijing is lost again, we can directly drive to the capital to open the capital. We can only divide our troops to rescue. This is

The next time Jin Kingdom’s naval forces were all out, our army could only use

If we send troops by sea, there will be a battle between the two armies at sea. If we want to save Goryeo, we will need to divide our forces. Will the navy be able to do the job? Your Majesty, please think twice." Chen Gongfu also started. He knew that the emperor was excited when he heard about the war, and he wanted to find something to do when he had nothing to do.

Son, I see what this means now is that I don’t want to stand by and watch.

"What the Right Prime Minister said is absolutely true. This time the Jin Army is determined to win Goryeo and uses all its elite troops. We only have two generals who have landed and are fighting in a foreign country. It is very difficult to transport supplies and replenish troops, and winter is approaching and the harbor is frozen.

At that time, transportation was cut off and they were left alone overseas for several months. If there was a loss and there was no way to retreat, it would be better to wait until the ice and snow melted in the coming year before sending out troops in large numbers!" Chen Guoting, the Minister of War, said.

"Having said that, if we do not send troops to rescue at this time, Goryeo will not be able to hold on for a few months under the large-scale invasion of the Jin army. At that time, Goryeo will either surrender or be destroyed, so we and the Song Dynasty are both enemies and not friends.

The name of sending troops is unjust and unjust, and it also has the reputation of not saving people even if they are facing death. Moreover, Korea is completely in the hands of the enemy. Even if we send troops when the time comes, the enemy will not be saved.

The army has occupied important areas, and the people of Goryeo have lost all their support. It may be even more difficult to fight again. We can only sit back and watch Goryeo fall to the hands of the Jurchens again!" Li Gang took the words and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is best to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, even if we cannot mobilize them now.

The army enters Goryeo for a decisive battle with the Jurchens, but also wants to protect the Goryeo royal family and occupy a corner of the country!"

"Your Majesty, I think what Prime Minister Li said is true. Timely dispatch of troops can consolidate the good relationship between the two countries, and also tell the world that the Song Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness. If we keep our word, we will be able to subdue the world. Even if we pay a little at this time,

In the long run, the price will be beneficial to the future and benefit our Song Dynasty!" Zhao Ren came out again and said.

"What do you think?" Zhao Tong asked with a smile as he raised his head and glanced at the people in the palace.

"I thought it was a good idea to send troops to Gaoli. Now Gaochang is swinging back and forth in an attempt to blackmail us, the Song Dynasty. The tribes in Mobei are also rebelling. We can take the opportunity to subdue them and stabilize the overall situation!" Xu Jingheng said.

"I second the proposal!" Everyone looked at each other. Both the old prime minister and the new prime minister agreed. The emperor looked eager to try, and what he said was quite reasonable. Let's just follow it, everyone said in unison.

"Okay, then we, the monarchs and ministers, will work together to win this battle, and then skin the Jurchen again to see if he dares to challenge my power of the Song Dynasty again!" Zhao Tong clapped his hands and laughed, "Zhao Ren, tell us about the deployment of our enemy's army.

one time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Ren stepped forward and said, "Now the Jinshui Army has dispatched 50,000 naval troops and 700 large and small warships. They entered the sea from the mouth of the Yalu River and captured the islands along the coast of Goryeo and the north of Mishima Island.

They blocked the port with the ship-roping method, controlled the waters of Korea Bay and the strait leading to the Goryeo mainland, and used a landing force to assist the infantry and cavalry in combat. The purpose was to control the sea lanes leading to Goryeo.

, to prevent the Song Dynasty from sending aid to Goryeo. Wushu led an infantry and cavalry army of 100,000 people to cross the Great Wall of Goryeo, all the way to the foot of Xijing City. Goryeo veteran Jin Fushi led the army and fought fiercely with him for several battles.

Under the city, the Jin army divided into five armies to besiege the city, while the Goryeo monarchs and ministers were trembling with fear. Some people wanted to take their troops to the sea to take refuge, and the voices for peace were very loud. If the siege cannot be relieved in time, there may be changes in the long run!"

"The My Island Task Force first defended the south of the island based on the city and Yuncong Mountain positions. The port was still under our control. Although there were only more than 2,000 soldiers, we did not lose in the battle with the Jin army and destroyed the enemy.

Dozens of large and small warships, killing two enemies

More than 1,000 people. Two guard warships stationed in Hong Kong cooperated in the operation in the outer sea, sinking the flagship of the Jin Army's rear army, damaging six large warships such as the flagship of the front army, and dozens of small warships. They did not withdraw from the battle until the ammunition and supplies were exhausted.

Return to Dengzhou!”

"Oh, I only have 2,000 troops on Mi Island. I can hold on to the peninsula for more than ten days and still occupy the peninsula without losing it. I can achieve such great results with two ships protecting the harbor. It seems that the combat power of the Jinshui Army is only this.

!" Xu Jingheng laughed after hearing this.

"Of course, our Song navy has thousands of warships and sharp firearms, how can we allow them to run rampant!" Zhang Xiaochun said.

"This is all your Majesty's credit. Otherwise, there would be no such a mighty army. No wonder Cheng Dutong dared to issue a military order in public and defeat the Jinshui Army with a single army!" Sima Pu praised the emperor and greatly increased his confidence in aiding Goryeo.

"It's all thanks to the great help of all my dear friends, otherwise how could I have accomplished such a great thing with just my hands and feet!" Zhao Tong waved his hands and said, now that with the stability of the regime, the trend of flattery has been revived, he must be there.

I'll strangle myself to death, I can't give it to you

They had the opportunity, "The Dengzhou Navy has sent troops to reinforce Shenmi Island in accordance with the original plan to rescue the siege of Shenmi Island and help Goryeo block the enemy from outside the country. But now the war has changed. The Jin army has penetrated deep into the hinterland and is approaching the city. The original decision is no longer suitable for the current war. Should we

It changes randomly!”

"Your Majesty, we are not good at war matters. Your Majesty must have already mastered the plan, so please ask for your instructions!" Li Gang looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

"Hey, wars are not all about military personnel, they are related to the overall situation, especially overseas expeditions. From the morale of the people to the meals and socks of the soldiers, they all need the help of all ministers and ministers. Cooperation from all parties cannot be done by just one person or a certain department.

You can do it!" Zhao Tong waved his hands. He knew that he valued martial arts and respected martial arts.

People have changed their customs, and the scholars have gradually accepted it, but he does not want to overdo it and put military men in power. Only with a balance of civil and military forces can long-term peace and stability be achieved, and his emperor can be stable. Therefore, his words not only express his support for the civil servants.

Paying attention is also a reminder to the generals.

"It's exactly what your Majesty said. Many matters still need your help. How can the Privy Council shoulder this critical task!" Zhao Ren said with a smile. He immediately understood what the emperor meant. This was to warn them not to rely on their merits.

, after receiving His Majesty's important use, he raised his tail to the sky and did not take the scholars into consideration...

Under the auspices of Zhao Tao, the next battle plan was renegotiated. Cheng Xishou led the Dengzhou Navy to escape the siege of Mi Island. The mission remained unchanged. After defeating the Jin Navy, they blocked the Yalu River Estuary to cut off their return route, and recaptured the Jin Army.

Occupy the island, wait for an opportunity to annihilate it, isolate the Jin Army brigade attacking by land; prepare to reinforce the Koryo Army to hold on

The second echelon on the border has changed its previous mission. Leopard generals and lions will move from Haeju to Nampo along the Taedong River north to Xijing to cooperate with the Goryeo army to defend Xijing. After completing the escort mission, the Haeju navy carried three marine brigades and transferred to Mishima.

, cooperate with the Dengzhou Navy to complete the task of seizing the island, and join forces with the Dengzhou Navy to annihilate the Jin Navy.

The third echelon of the reserve force, after annihilating the Jin Navy, landed at the mouth of the Yalu River, recaptured Baozhou, regained the Thousand Miles of Great Wall defense line, and intercepted the retreating Jin Army land troops; the Mingzhou Navy had to escort merchant ships to collect supplies before the port froze.

It was unloaded at Busan Port and transferred to the Xijing front line by Goryeo to complete the winter war material reserve. The navy then withdrew to its domestic base before the port was closed.

It is now mid-September and there is only more than a month until the port is closed. This is still a normal year. Who knows whether God will have a seizure when the time comes, so everything must be carried out as soon as possible to complete the first step of the combat mission.

The army shifts to winter defensive operations. This will be a

During an extremely long winter, the three generals and the imperial army had to fight alone in a foreign land without domestic assistance. The only thing the country could do before the end of the winter was to launch a raid on the northern line of Yanjing to attract the Jin army to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
