Lord of the House

Vol 8 Chapter 37: fight for alliance

Listening to Qin Zitan's narration of the battle on Danluo Island, She Feihu's handsome face was slightly contorted, and he grabbed the celadon tea cup on the table in resentment.

In this battle, Zhen Feng only had an advantage in military strength, and was at a disadvantage in other aspects, and the chances of winning were not high, but She Feihu never thought that Zhen Feng would be defeated so quickly and so thoroughly, as if a giant tower was destroyed in the blink of an eye. destroyed!

He Xiongqi's eyes narrowed like an ancient Buddha sitting withered. He was not surprised by the failure of the Koreans. His original intention was to drag the Koreans into the war against Huaidong. This goal was achieved, but it was not right. It's a pity to be able to consume Huaidong's strength.

After a long time, He Xiongqi opened his mouth and said with emotion: "There are many heroes in the Central Plains, after Su Hu there is Li Zhuo, and after Li Zhuo there is Lin Fu, it is also thanks to the unbalanced people in the Central Plains, otherwise the life of Donghu and the She family will be difficult. …”

Qin Zitan sat kneeling behind the case, thinking to himself: Li Zhuo may be a great talent of a generation, but he has gathered the financial resources of the various counties in the south of the Yangtze River and commanded 100,000 soldiers. When it comes to great talent and strategy, Li Zhuo is still slightly inferior to the great governor, but Lin Fucai is a little bit more cunning, making it impossible to speculate on his depth.

It is already a world-shattering strategy to think that the commander-in-chief abandoned land and sea to seek eastern Zhejiang; to be honest, Huaidong followed a general policy of taking into account both land and sea, but it was far more resolute and thorough than Dongmin.

The Koreans suffered the defeat of Danluo Island. There were many factors. The most fundamental and the most important factor was that the Korean navy suppressed Huaidong so hard that they could not get out of the shallow sea. Compete.

It is not difficult for Qin Zitan to imagine that the Shejia and Huaidong were not able to compete for the throne in the East China Sea, and the islands such as Daishan and Changguo were taken away from Huaidong one by one. Under the direct attack of the Huaidong Navy, how will the luxury family respond?

Thinking of this, Qin Zitan's back is sharp and cold, almost freezing his blood. He secretly said: Even if the She family cannot adjust their strategic focus in a short time, they must defend Daishan Mountain and Changguo Islands. strategically passive.

Azig felt a little uneasy.

He and Qin Zitan were not the only ones who escaped from Danluo Island by sea. At that time, the defenders in Seogwipo City finally realized that the opportunity was wrong, and more than 300 people grabbed three brigs and ferries and fled back.

After the three hundred people arrived in Haeyang County, they were ordered to be imprisoned by Zuo Jing, the Minister of State of Goryeo.

Ajige was worried that the Koreans would hold them accountable for stealing the boat in Seogwipo City, and kept peeping at Zuo Jing's face. If Zuo Jing really wanted to investigate this matter, it would be difficult for Hexiongqi to protect him.

Qin Zitan is rather magnanimous and has nothing to worry about.

After Goryeo suffered this fiasco, Zuo Jing wanted to keep his power in Goryeo, and he had to hold tight to the thick thighs of the Donghu people!

Can't hold Donghu people's thick thighs tightly, Zuo Jing is likely to be pushed out by the Goryeo royal family as a scapegoat. The anger accumulated in Korea since the defeat of the Cheongcheon River was poured out, and Zuo Jing and the children of the Zuo family were afraid that they would die without a place to be buried.

Azhige is the younger brother of the favored concubine of King Donghuhan, and Zuo Jing is confused only to find out the truth in this matter.

The Donghu people also knew in their hearts that once Zuo Jing was overthrown, the forces in Korea against the Donghu people would likely rise, which would be detrimental to Donghu's interests in the Haidong area.

The Goryeo royal family and ministers in charge were cowardly and did not have the confidence to resist the Donghu people. Although they were defeated by Huaidong this time, they were separated from Huaidong by the vast sea, which gave the Koreans a sense of security at a distance.

Submitting to Donghu and confronting Huaidong is the national policy that the Koreans must choose at present.

If Zuo Jing wanted to keep his position, he could only put the responsibility of defeat on Zhen Feng, the governor of Haiyang, and continued to draw the focus of domestic conflicts in Korea to Huaidong. Expand the army, expand the navy, and strengthen the confrontation with Huaidong.

From this point of view, the defeat of Danluo Island is not a pity. To drag the Koreans deeper into the war with Huaidong, there must be such a defeat.

It's just that this defeat is too embarrassing! More than 15,000 people were destroyed in just one night's work.

********************

If the battle of Fukue Island and Songpu was just a small test of the Huaidong Army in Haidong; the battle of Danluo Island, in which more than 15,000 Korean infantrymen were defeated like falling flowers and flowing water, was a grand exhibition of the Huaidong Army. Shenwei, Haidong area was shocked and panicked.

Saga Laiyuan received a good news report on Tsushima Island, and his heart was deeply shaken.

At the beginning of the ceding of Matsuura, Hirado and other places, it was not that Saga Laiyuan did not think of carrying out general mobilization in the territory and fighting against the Huaidong Army. There are more than 2,000 elite samurai under the Saga family, mobilizing civilians, and the expansion of the force to 15,000 is already the limit. Now it seems that 15,000 troops are really not enough in front of the Huaidong Army.

"It seems that before the Saga clan unifies Kyushu Island, stop thinking about Matsuura and Hirado!" Saga Raiyuan frowned, and sent the letter to his retainer Keigo Yamashita.

"The master is wise," Yamashita Jingwu said, "Lin Fu wants to send someone here to discuss matters on Danluo Island, Jingwu will ask for a trip."

"I'll go there in person, and I won't be lazy if I want to come late," Saga Laiyuan said, "You stay on Tsushima Island. After this defeat, the Koreans have suffered greatly, and they should be powerless to take Tsushima Island, but You also have to be careful! If this trip goes well, I will be able to fight Iki Island when I come back from Danluo Island!"

The alliance of Saga Laiyuan and Chi Zhou to attack Tsushima Island was also a bet that the Huaidong Army would win on Danluo Island. If the Huaidong Army were defeated, the Saga clan would not have the strength to occupy Tsushima Island under the suppression of the Kingo clan and the Hei clan.

Saga Laiyuan deployed nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses on Tsushima Island, including 1,000 elite samurai. When the Koreans had no foothold on the shore, if they wanted to retake Tsushima Island, they had to invest enough troops to capture Tsushima City at one time.

The Koreans went crazy, so they organized tens of thousands of troops to attack Tsushima Island at this time.

The battle of Danluo Island was especially important for the balance between the forces in Haidong. For the time being, the Saga clan doesn't have to worry about Goryeo's ability to fight the threat of Tsushima, so he can let go of the pirate forces in the northern waters of Kyushu Island.

"Perhaps we can send someone to Iki Island to recruit and surrender first. The owner and Chi Zhou have joined forces to capture Tsushima Island at this time. Who would be in Haidong who doesn't know that the Saga clan is an ally of the Huaidong Army? Under the shock and awe of the pirates from Iki Island and Zikushima, it is very unlikely that the pirates from Iki Island and Ziku Island will continue to resist, and we cannot let the old thief Chi Zhou take the lead." Yamashita Keigo said.

"Yes!" Saga Raiyuan said.

Although the three companies agreed that the islands in the northern waters of Kyushu Island, such as Iki Island and Chiku Island, would be recovered by Saga Island, if the pirate forces occupying these islands were to take refuge in Chi Zhou first, even if Chi Zhou abides by the agreement, the Saga clan would still be able to recover. In the end, it is impossible to get these islands back without paying any price.

Covenants exist on the basis of interests, not morality. Saga Raiyuan is very clear about this.

************

On the third day of March, Saga Raiyuan arrived at Jeju Castle by boat, and the war on Danluo Island was almost completely over by this time.

There are also a small number of Koryo remnants hiding in the depths of Sunrise Mountain, stubbornly resisting and refusing to surrender. Three to five hundred dead soldiers, divided into several strands, could not make a good climate, so they stayed for the training of the king of Danluo.

In addition to the First Division of the Jinghai Second Water Battalion stationed at the North Beach of Seogwipo, the Huaidong Army also retreated to Jeju City one after another. There were also nearly 10,000 Korean prisoners of war who went south to Jeju.

The Danlu Kingdom was weak and young. After this battle, the food on the island was limited, and it was simply not enough to support nearly 10,000 Koryo prisoners of war. Lin Fu could only **** the prisoners to Jeju City for resettlement.

The Koreans were unable to organize a counterattack against Danluo Island in a short period of time, and Lin Fu had no intention of attacking the Goryeo Peninsula at this time, and the northern sea area of ​​Danluo temporarily returned to calm. Occasionally, the two sides have sentry ships to meet at sea, and they have a tacit understanding and no longer chase and kill each other.

Saga Laiyuan came to Jeju. In addition to bringing congratulatory gifts to celebrate the Huaidong Army's victory on Danluo Island, the main intention was to want the Huaidong Army Division to support Saga's expansion of the Jinxiang and Ping's sites.

When the boat entered Jeju Port, Saga Raiyuan first saw the old bark-like face of Jingo Tsuno. Jingo Tsuno was giving him a sly smile, and Saga Raiyuan was surprised: I didn't expect this old fox to come to Jeju, and I didn't expect this old fox to arrive at Jeju Island ahead of time.

The island of Kyushu originally had nine feudal vassals, which gave rise to the name of Kyushu. After the turmoil in the feudal kingdoms intensified, there were only four kingdoms left in the nine feudal kingdoms. Adjacent to the Saga clan are the Hyuga clan, the Kunihei clan, and the Kunihei clan of Osumi, and in the southeast corner of Kyushu Island, there is the Irie clan of the Hizen country.

The head of the Kingo clan is still young, and for the past ten years has been ruled by the family slaughter, Kingo Tsuno.

Jingo Tsuno appeared in the welcome crowd at Jeju Port, and Saga Raiyuan's heart was suddenly covered with a haze.

Lin Fuke didn't care what Saga Laiyuan thought, he put his hands behind his back, looked at Saga Laiyuan who was walking on the pallet, and said with a smile, "The journey is very turbulent, and the government has come to discuss matters in person!"

"When the envoy was summoned, Lai Yuan did not dare to neglect, but he was still entangled in the affairs of Tsushima Island. It took a day to leave before leaving. I hope that the envoy will be lenient!" Saga Laiyuan said, still holding the corner of his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he observed Kyotsuno, and thought to himself: Should we send scout warriors to kill Kyotsuno?

"Saga's governing affairs are heavy, and dozens of scouts and samurai must be summoned to accompany him when he travels. It should be slower than Tsuno's lone boat crossing the sea with only a few escorts," Jingo Tsuno seemed to see through Saga Raiyuan's thoughts. He said, "After arriving at Jeju Castle, the post house where Jin Ye lives has to be guarded by Lao Shizhi's envoys, which is really ashamed!"

Hearing Jinxiang Jinye's point, knowing that Lin Fu would never allow him to attack Jinxiang Jinye in Jeju City, Saga Laiyuan could only let go of his thoughts of killing. It would be unwise to anger Lin Fu, not to mention Saga's The assassination suspect has not been completely cleaned up.

"Goryeo has been a vassal of our dynasty for two hundred years, and they regard their subjects as their rulers, and they are very suitable for each other. However, the government has been stolen by traitors, betrayed their trust, and defected to Donghu. The country of Danluo must be punished," Lin Fu asked Saga Laiyuan and Jinxiang Tsuno to walk on his left and right, and warned, "The Saga clan and the Jinxiang clan are both ministers and monarchs, so they can see my court. We should share the responsibility of punishing Goryeo, and I will lead Master Wang back to the dynasty, and I will ask the Holy Master for the Saga clan and the Jinxiang clan."

Saga Raiyuan knew in his heart that the foundation of the covenant was rooted in the word "interest", but he couldn't help but argue that if the Kingo clan was given the same status, wouldn't Matsuura and Hirado be ceded in vain?

Entering Jeju Castle, when Jinxiang Jinye was not around, Chi Zhou was present, and Saga Laiyuan didn't care about anything, so he said to Lin Fujin: "The Jinxiang clan can clear the suspicion of the Fujiang Island assassination. !"

"Near the township, Jinye can come alone in a boat, and it's like going to Songpu to see me at the beginning of the ruling..." Lin Fu said with a smile.

Saga Laiyuan was slightly startled, but he really couldn't push the assassination to the hometown.

"...The Ijiang Clan also sent people to send congratulations," Lin Bie said with a stern face, "Only the Ping Clan is guilty of being a thief, rude, and dare not send people to see me. The assassination of Fujiang Island is probably flat. What I did~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can't spare them!"

Saga Laiyuan didn't expect that the Ijiang clan's actions were so fast. I don't know what gift to bring to Lin Fu's satisfaction, but let Lin Fu push all the assassination on the Ping clan's head?

"I asked the government, if I want to find out the real culprit of the Fukue Island assassination case, can the Saga family alone be able to deal with the Ping family?" Lin Fu continued to ask Saga Laiyuan.

Saga Laiyuan was slightly startled, thinking: Huaidong supports the Saga clan to unite with the Jinxiang clan to destroy the Ping clan first? This is not bad, after all, the Saga clan did not have the strength to swallow the Ping clan in one gulp, and still contended: "Jinxiang Tsuye comes here, even if he can help the Jinxiang clan to clear the suspicion, but the Jinxiang clan has not done an inch, and the system can't. It makes people feel unfair!”

The root of the government of restraint is that the barbarians control the barbarians, and the divided fusang is more in line with the interests of Huaidong.

The Kingo clan and the Saga clan are both located in the northern part of Kyushu Island, one in the northeast and the other in the northwest, and both face the Koreans across the sea.

Even if Jinxiang Tsuye could not come, Lin Fu would send someone to contact the Jinxiang clan and invite the Jinxiang clan to jointly suppress Goryeo from the sea and relieve the pressure of Huaidong's garrison on Danluo Island.

Moreover, the strength of the Dongzhou Governor's Office is too weak after all, so choose a competitor for the Saga clan on Kyushu Island. The Saga clan has a desire to compete with the Jinxiang clan, which is more in line with Lin Fu's desire.

Lin Fu didn't mind Saga Lai Yuan's stern power and said with a smile, "I have my own measure, and the court will definitely not treat your Saga family lightly!"

Saga Laiyuan didn't doubt that Huaidong would have any territorial ambitions in the Haidong area. After all, Huaidong really wanted to learn from a luxury family, and his vision would only be on the Central Plains. Although he hated Lin Bie for tyranny in Haidong. The plan was to pull in the township, but there was nothing to do right now. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
