Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The Imperial City of Tokyo has learned of what happened in the far east island.

On the avenue north of Jinxiang Hall, the maple leaves on both sides have turned yellow, and the scattered leaves on the brick floor were "sanded" by the wind, but it made the road look more tidy and clean.

The towering and majestic Jinxiangdian complex is magnificent and beautiful, standing in this quiet palace. Guo Shao got off the car, looked at it but suddenly felt a little bit embarrassed.

How many people died for all this? Zhang Yin was just one of countless officials, and he had only a few encounters with Guo Shao, but when Guo Shao heard that he was killed in Dongdao, he was extremely upset.

The reason for his displeasure, and the fact that it made things more difficult.

Guo Shao walked up the steps, put away his chaotic state of mind, and went straight to the Yizheng Hall. The ministers have arrived first.

"My emperor will live forever..."

Just simple etiquette, Wang Pu quickly mentioned the matter of the East Island, "Although the officials of our dynasty have not discussed with the ruler of Japan, the two countries have always been in harmony; the officials who allowed our dynasty to build a fort are also officials officially appointed by Japan. The attitude of their subordinates is different from that of the imperial court.

Therefore, this matter is the violent act of the Japanese monarch and his ministers, and he must give an explanation to the Daxu court..."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yanchao said: "Speaking so much, going around, our heads are dizzy. I don't think it is so complicated. If you can beat it, you can beat it back. Isn't it like this?"

Everyone was stunned, but fortunately they were used to Shi Yanchao's mannerisms, so they were not surprised.

At this time, Han Tong said, "General Shi, it's not a question of whether we can fight, but that we can't reach it. The Mulan ship has not yet been built, and the current light boats and requisitioned merchant ships are all small ships with limited capacity. I heard that the East China Sea is becoming more stormy this season, and the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated sharply. It is inconvenient to supply. It is also difficult for the Xiaolong Army to guarantee the military supplies of hundreds of people, and it is currently unable to conquer Japan."

Wei Renpu said: "What the Korean government said is very true. But the old man thinks that the stronghold near the Iwami Silver Mountain cannot be given up. This is related to the face of the country, and the loss of previous efforts will also affect morale."

He clasped his fists and said to the superior: "I believe that we should fight hard on the basis of reason and negotiate with the court of Ping'an capital, while stabilizing our position and waiting for the preparations for the Eastern Expedition to be more appropriate."

Guo Shao immediately decided happily: "I will play according to Wei's deputy envoy."

The power structure of the Daxu court is obviously very different from that of Heianjing in Japan. Central | Centralized power system, the whole country's army is only loyal to the emperor, and they are paid by the royal family; civilian officials and the whole country regard loyalty and filial piety as the basic moral theory. The emperor has the highest decision-making power, and legal rituals and actual power are supreme.

...

At this time, the East China Sea is not as quiet as Tokyo, and the weather is very bad! The three Jiaolong Army light boats successfully passed the north shore of Tamna Island in Koryo in the early stage, and on the way to Tsushima Island, they encountered huge wind and waves.

"Huh! Wow..." The sea was full of huge waves. Commander Wang felt that he had completely lost control of other ships and ships. He and more than 20 other people could only hold on to the wood in the cabin tightly, and could do nothing. If they let go, they might be hit to death.

They couldn't do anything except to lower all the sails before. In the face of the wrath of God, everyone can only beg for good luck and cannot control their own destiny. The hull shook violently, and the range was very large. Fortunately, the ship was well built, otherwise it would have fallen apart long ago!

"Ah..." Suddenly everyone shouted in horror. Because it feels like the hull is flying! A huge wave lifted the boat up, and a moment later, people felt light under their feet, as if jumping off a cliff, and the hull fell down with the waves!

"Boom!" Commander Wang's heart trembled, and a great fear surged into his heart. If the hull of the ship was broken at this time, everyone would have to be buried in the bottom of the sea. How could there be any way to repair it?

Then with a "wow", a gust of seawater knocked open the wooden boards from the entrance of the deck, poured into the cabin on the first floor, and showered Commander Wang on his head. Feeling suffocated, he hastily shook the water off his head, let out a breath, opened his eyes and looked around, and pale faces appeared in front of him. I saw a soldier lying on the wet wooden board with blood all over his face.

"Look at him, stop the bleeding!" Commander Wang shouted.

"Decree!"

Commander Wang shouted again: "Check everywhere, see if there is any damage!"

The wind and waves were still going on, and everyone was frightened, frightened and frightened, and they were exhausted. I don't know how long it took, and everyone didn't know where they drifted, and the wind and waves gradually subsided.

Commander Wang immediately led people to check the cabin again and boarded the deck.

"Report, the cabin is not broken!" A department will go to the deck to report. Then more people climbed up. Everyone looked up, and the sun had already shone golden through the dark clouds.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but it was too late to cheer. People had already found floating planks and sails used by Xu Jun on the sea. The other two boats had disappeared, and everyone was silent.

"General Wang, what shall we do now?" the general asked.

Commander Wang immediately gave an order: "Drum the sails, search for the living nearby. Use the compass to argue the direction."

"Decree!" The general clasped his fists and said.

Commander Wang observed the sky, and then ordered: "Go to the bottom of the ship to check, and bring the gunpowder up to dry."

The ship carried more than 20 people, and mainly transported a copper cannon, matchlock guns, gunpowder, grain, shells and other materials, which were the military supplies to Iwami Fort.

Commander Wang took a look around, the small island could be seen on the starboard side, and the continuous land could already be seen on the horizon. I used a compass to identify the direction, and the land direction is east; the long coastline in sight is definitely not Tsushima Island.

Everyone took out the charts and pondered for a while, and guessed that the land to the east was the coast of Japan.

Commander Wang planned to search the sea surface for three days, approach the coast, ask the locals to find out the location, and then find the direction along the coast to Iwami country.

However, after searching for two days, he couldn't find a ship or a living person on the sea... I am afraid that the other two ships have already been destroyed. The remaining 20 or so people were sad, but also thankful that they survived the catastrophe.

Commander Wang also gradually calmed down from the chaos, opened the booklet, and recorded the date and the approximate direction of the wind and waves on it. Early the next morning, he decided to give up the search and go to shore to find his way; however, several people agreed that Ishi Jianguo should go north along the coast.

At this moment, the door of the command cabin suddenly rang twice, and Commander Wang held the brush in his hand without answering, "Open the door!"

A general on duty opened the wooden door, cupped his fists and said, "General Wang, there are a lot of ships on the sea, you'd better go up to the deck to have a look."

Upon hearing this, Commander Wang hurriedly threw the brush on the table, strode out of the cabin, and leaned on the railing to look as far as the eye could see. Sure enough, I saw a large piece of sails floating on the sea, they were all small boats, but there were very many of them, at least ten or twenty!

"Japanese Navy?" The officer frowned and muttered.

Commander Wang became alert when he thought of the killing of officials in Iwami Fort. He held his breath, turned his head and glanced at the red tassels tied to the mast, and said, "It's very unfavorable, the northwest wind."

The officer on duty nodded and said, "It's really unlucky!"

The northwest wind is very unfavorable to Xu Jun at this time, because they want to escape the navy coming from the coast of Japan, and they cannot sail towards the shore, they can only go west... against the wind.

Commander Wang decisively ordered: "Turn around, follow the coast to the south!"

"Bang, bang!" With the sound of the gong, everyone shouted and got busy. The light boat turned its bow, and immediately sailed at full speed with full sails, and the waterwheel below gradually turned "squeaky", and the sailors stared hard at the waterwheel in the cabin below the deck.

Unexpectedly, an hour later, the fleet was discovered again in front of the south. Xu Guochuan fell into a situation surrounded by the north and the south. They had no choice but to turn around again and head west against the wind.

The Japanese ship chased after them until the afternoon.

The wind direction did not change throughout the day, and everyone was sailing against the wind, and the fleet behind was gradually approaching the land of two arrows!

Commander Wang stood on the deck and watched for a long time. No matter how he ran, the distance was gradually shortening. He immediately shouted: "Command, prepare for battle!"

Although he is the commander, but now there are only about 20 people in a team, and there is no commander. The situation was outnumbered, but the Japanese ship chased for a long time, the hostility was very obvious, there was nothing to do.

The gong sounded again, and the sailors on the waterwheel in the cabin also gave up their busy work, and the soldiers were busy putting on their armor and preparing their weapons. Commander Wang turned his head to take a last look at the fleet behind, walked into the cabin, and opened a cage fixed on a wooden board with a rope, "Coo coo coo..." He called a pigeon and caught one from inside.

Prepared two in a row and released them from the door. Commander Wang looked up at the pigeons, and hoped that they could fly across the sea smoothly and reach the Xu country stronghold on Tamna Island... These pigeons were bred on Tamna Island, they were only three months old, and they had been tossed by wind and waves a few days ago.

Commander Wang watched him off for a moment, then entered the house again, and asked his own soldiers to help him put on the armor. Then he took the barrier knife and hung it on his waist, picked up the bow and arrow with one hand, put the helmet on his head with the other, and strode out of the cabin.

On the deck, a group of soldiers dressed in solid armor gradually formed a formation. When they found Commander Wang standing on it, they all looked up. The entourage of the soldiers had already planted a square dragon flag on the ship tower, fluttering in the wind.

Commander Wang said: "We Daxu officers and men don't want to accept the humiliation of being a prisoner, the only thing we can do is fight!"

While listening to him, everyone looked at dozens of boats coming from the east.

Commander Wang let out a sigh of relief: "The general will let the pigeons go back, and the officials will know that we are fighting for our country in the East China Sea! God's big waves can't destroy us, we will definitely defeat the enemy!"

"Drink..." The soldiers cheered up their morale and shouted loudly.

Commander Wang yelled: "Bigly promise the imperial army, fight until every soldier dies, in order to repay the emperor's favor!"

"Kill! Kill..." more than 20 people shouted, and the momentum was quite majestic!
