One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, first send all the prisoners back to Jeju Island and hand them over to General Zhai."

Ruan Xiaoqi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Li Xin led the fleet back to Jeju City Pier, where Zhai Jin was already waiting.

Li Xin said: "General Zhai, there are Korean prisoners on the fleet now. I have handed them all over to you, and I want to take the fleet to attack the docks of Korea at night. You have to watch these prisoners carefully. By the way, let’s see if there’s anyone inside who understands Chinese, and we’ll interrogate him when he comes back.”

Zhai Jin cupped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord, I will finally get your order."

After unloading all the Goryeo prisoners, Li Xin and Ruan Xiaoqi took the fleet and set off again. Ruan Xiaoqi asked: "My lord, do you want to change the battle plan?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, I want to change the battle plan, go and call Zhang Rong."

Ruan Xiaoqi replied: "Yes, Lord."

After Ruan Xiaoqi called Zhang Rong, Li Xin said: "Zhang Rong, bring your water ghost team. You must control the enemy's dock before midnight tonight, and then find out what is on the dock, and then figure it out." How far is the dock from the enemy city?"

Zhang Rong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord, I finally understand."

After Zhang Rong left, Ruan Xiaoqi asked: "Master, what are you doing?"

Li Xin explained: "I think it would be a pity to simply burn down the dock. If there are warehouses or ships at the dock, I would like to move everything that can be moved away and then burn it."

Ruan Xiaoqi nodded and said: "Well, that's good, the master is smarter."

At the end of the night, Zhang Rong and the Water Ghost Team quietly occupied the dock just like last time.

After occupying the dock, Zhang Rong ordered: "Wen Chong, take the sharp knife team to see how far this place is from the enemy's nearest city, and whether there are any enemies around. If there are enemies, deal with them if you can. If you can't, deal with them." Pull back, but don't let the enemy notice."

Wen Chong cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander."

After Wen Chong left with the sharp knife team, Zhang Rong led the remaining people to search for supplies on the dock.

After Zhang Rong searched the pier, he took a boat back to the fleet waiting for news at sea. Li Xin met Zhang Rong and asked: "What's going on at the pier?"

Zhang Rong cupped his fists and said: "My lord, there is a warehouse on the west side of the pier, which is full of grain. There are more than a hundred ships moored on the pier, including five large-scale ships that we sunk during the day. At the pier We also captured two hundred people and confiscated a small amount of gold and silver, about a few thousand taels, but nothing else."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, load the food and prisoners onto the ships parked at the dock. You, the Water Ghost Team, can take away as many ships as you can. Pick the big ones and burn the rest." Yes, General Seven, you should also send someone to help them pretend."

The two clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

After a night of hard work, at the end of the early morning, Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Rongcai had plundered everything they could take away from the dock. In addition, Zhang Rong's water ghost team also drove away more than ships, including the five large-scale ships.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Xin gave an order to fire countless rockets at the pier and the ships on the pier. Before Zhang Rong left, the pier and the ships on the pier were sprinkled with kerosene, so the entire pier was on fire in an instant. The wind was still blowing, so the fire became more powerful and had a tendency to spread outwards.

When Li Xin saw the fire, he led the fleet away.

After returning to the Jeju City dock, Li Xin ordered people to unload the captured grain and prisoners. Zhai Jin went to the dock and saw the soldiers loading and unloading supplies and said: "My lord, it seems that this operation has gained a lot."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, we burned down a dock and nearly a hundred ships in Goryeo, and brought back forty ships. If it weren't for the limited manpower, I really wanted to bring all the ships back, and there happened to be some on the dock. A granary. We also moved all the food in it back. There are about tons of food. We also captured Korean soldiers in this battle. Later, you can take those prisoners away and the from before. Put the prisoners together."

Zhai Jin said: "Well, we actually brought back so much food. Now there are only people on the island except the navy and infantry. How long will it take to eat so much food? There is still a lot of food shipped from Xinghan Island on the island." Here’s the food.”

Li Xin smiled and said: "General Zhai, I don't want to put all this grain here. I just plan to leave you two thousand tons of grain, and the remaining four thousand tons will be transported back to Xinghan Island. Xinghan Island There are many people, and although they produce food, they are not yet self-sufficient.”

Zhai Jin nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."

Li Xin asked: "Do any of the previous prisoners understand Chinese?"

Zhai Jin replied: "There is a person who understands Chinese, and he is the leader of this group of people."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and see him."

Soon Li Xin saw the captured young general. Li Xin asked: "What is your name?"

The young general replied: "Young general Gao Shuo has met the leader."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, what is the purpose of your fleet's trip?"

Gao Shuo said: "The purpose of this trip of the young general's fleet is to inquire about the situation on Tamna Island. The connection between the imperial court and Tamna Island has been cut off for two or three months. The imperial court had also sent people to Tamna Island before, but they were unable to do so. After hearing the news, the imperial court suspected that Tamna Island had been occupied, so it sent a young general to lead an advance fleet to investigate first."

Li Xin said thoughtfully: "If you don't respond, what will the Goryeo court do?"

Gao Shuo replied: "The imperial court will send a large army to conquer."

Li Xin asked: "Do you estimate how large an army Goryeo will send to conquer Tamna Island next time?"

Gao Shuo said: "Looking back, there are more than a hundred ships at the dock where the young general left, including four large ships with a load of shi, thirty ships with a load of shi, fifty ships with a load of shi, and the remaining The ones that get off are all small boats. If the young general’s fleet doesn’t respond, it will be their turn next time.”

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, I can tell you that they can't come. The dock you left was attacked by a certain person with a fleet last night. A certain person brought back forty large ships. Other ships and docks They were all burned by a certain fire."

Gao Shuo was shocked and said: "They were all burned by the leader."

Li Xin replied: "Yes, they were all burned."

Gao Shuo trembled and said: "That leader has caused a big disaster. The court must be furious. Next time, a larger fleet will definitely be sent to conquer Tamna Island."

Li Xin asked with great interest: "How big will the dispatch be?"

Gao Shuo replied: "The main force of the imperial navy is stationed at Licheng Port, which is not far from the capital. The navy there alone has as many as people. In addition to the navy, there are also infantry troops near Licheng Port. Nearly troops are stationed, and there are more than Shuibu troops in the entire vicinity of Kaijing."
