Chapter 161 Goryeo
Wang Gu has always been in a bad mood recently. He has nightmares at night. Even if he finds a few concubines to practice, he is exhausted and can't sleep, and he doesn't want to sleep when he has a lot of things to do during the day.
He really regrets now. Why did he go to the golden man to ask for help at the beginning? Now it seems that this golden man is much darker than Liang Shan. You not only have to pay for something, but also listen to them in everything. These golden people are simply more than their ancestors in Kaijing City.
What he didn't expect was that they still bullied men and women, did everything, and came to themselves to cry almost every day. But what can I do? You can't offend the Jin people after offending Liangshan, can you? Then do you still need to be the king?
In fact, that's not the only things that upset Wang Gu. The Japanese side has not stopped now. This originally had nothing to do with him, but many warriors and roners who can't get along in Japan have turned into pirates and began to attack Qingsangdao and Jeolla Province.
Now these two places have been scourged by those Japanese warriors, and many people have fled there and flocked to Kyoto.
Although the army was sent, it had little effect. These Japanese roners were extremely fierce, cunning and intelligent. If there were more officers and soldiers, they would withdraw, and if there were fewer, they would come up to fight.
The officers and soldiers are exhausted, and now they can only stay in several big cities such as Gyeongju and wait for them to send reinforcements again.
There are no reinforcements, but Wang Gu is now a little immobile. He knows that because of his weakness to the Jin people, he has caused dissatisfaction with several powerful generals, and they don't listen to themselves now.
This is called a house leak that meets the rain overnight. If there is no such thing as Japanese pirates, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only endure it. They can deal with whoever they want to clean up, but now it can't. One of their most elite troops is to eliminate pirates, and the other is to guard the capital to guard against these grass in their hearts, so Are there still soldiers to help eliminate the pirates?
Wang Guzheng sighed for his domestic affairs, but he didn't know that a bigger crisis had come to him.
Song Qing mobilized 15,000 navy and more than 100 warships to form a huge fleet still led by Liangshan, which has left the port of Dengzhou and killed in Beijing.
The artillery is not made. In terms of the current process, a large amount of steel needs to be cast, so Song Qing was only equipped with two artillery on the Liangshan on this trip.
The purpose of bringing these two guns is not without the idea of testing guns in Korea.
In fact, Song Qing did not know that because he provoked civil strife in Japan, the defeated ronin and warriors in Japan escaped from Japan one after another. If it hadn't been for the strength of Liangshan's navy, these pirates would not have fled to Goryeo, but the richer Song Dynasty.
Because the number of troops is small and is not suitable for inland, the battle plan formulated by Song Qing's colleagues is to first shell Beijing, attract Koreans to defend the capital, and then land on the whole Luo Road. The purpose of this trip is to plunder the population and do not need to kill too much.
Even if Wang Gu voluntarily surrenders this time, he must leave a deep impression on him, lest this guy be in the morning and evening.
What Song Qing and Liang Shanzhong didn't expect was that Quanluo Dao was actually pirate.
It seemed that God was all over Liangshan's fleet. When the Liangshan fleet sailed to the sea off Beijing, it suddenly fell into fog. The thick fog blurred the sight of the sea.
In this case, Liangshan's fleet had to slow down until it overturned a fish boat that it was close to land.
In dealing with this situation, the experienced sailors in the fleet immediately reported to Song Qing and blew the horn. Hearing the horn, the fleet stopped.
At this time, the blurred outline of the land gradually appeared.
Song Qing's trip was Liwei's arrival. He immediately ordered the gunner's school gun, and then he went to the building on the shore to try a few shots first to try the effect.
As the thick fog gradually thinned, Liangshan warships lined up to block the waters of Beijing, and no ships were allowed to pass through.
At this time, Wang Gu put a towel on his head and was lying in the arms of a concubine thinking about the current situation. Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from a distance.
Wang Gu couldn't help frowning and looking up at the outside of the hall. He thought it was raining, but he saw that there was a trace of sunshine in the sky just now, and there was not a drop of rain falling outside.
I'm wondering! Suddenly, there were a few loud noises, and the direction of the sound should be at the seaside. What sound? Just as he was about to send someone to check, he suddenly saw a waiter rolling in and crawling in.
"Wang.. Wang Shang, big... The big deal is not good, and the Liangshan navy is coming again."
"What?"
Wang Gu almost jumped up from the chair and stared at the frightened servant with disbelief.
"You say it again, who... Who is coming?
In fact, it's not that he didn't hear clearly, it's just a psychology of self-anesia, which makes him hope that he heard it wrong.
"Liangshan navy, Wang Shang, there are rumors outside that the Liangshan navy has blocked the sea, and the seaside has been blown into a sea of fire by what weapons the Liangshan navy has been blown up by the Liangshan navy. Please make a final order quickly!"
"Really coming..."
Wang Gou's eyes were straight, and he sat back again, just repeating these words in his mouth. Intuition told him that his collusion with the Jin people had been known by Liang Shan, otherwise Liang Shan would not come with troops. What should I do? How should you deal with the current dilemma?
It was not until the servant urged him several times that Wang Gu came to his senses. He was busy sending people to negotiate with Liang Shan and recruited Zheng Yong, a general of the Guards.
Zheng Yongdu is currently his closest general, and he dares not find anyone else.
Zheng Yong seized soon. After he heard that there was an accident at the seaside, he immediately led troops to protect the king. At the same time, he also brought his eldest son Zheng Zhongfu.
Wang Gu asked Zheng Yong to take it, but he also wanted to protect himself and strengthen the vigilance of the capital.
Zheng Zhongfu was young and angry. Originally, he was not used to the king's indulgence of Jin people. Now Liang Shan has bullied him at his door again. If he endures this tone, is he not a man?
couldn't help saying, "Wang Shang, there are currently 100,000 troops in Kaijing. Liangshan came across the sea and can't say tens of thousands of people. Why are we afraid of him? Besides, Liangshan has firearms, don't we have them? Please allow me to take a man and a horse to defeat the Liangshan robbers."
Wang Gu stared at Zheng Zhongfu and said that he was really not afraid of tigers. I didn't know that there were few people in Liangshan. Do we also have firearms? But don't you think that our firearms were not learned from the Song Dynasty? Besides, can you shoot far away from home? At that time, not to mention the humiliation, I'm afraid it will attract more revenge from Liang Shan.
waved their hands and ordered them to retreat, sit there and wait for the people sent to negotiate with Liang Shan to come back, while thinking about what price they could exchange for Liangshan's retreat.
When Zheng and his son left the palace, Zheng Zhongfu was still indignant and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his father with his eyes. Until no one could hear their father and son.
Zheng Yong seized with a frown and said, "In the future, remember that the disaster comes from the mouth. What the king said, we can do it."
Zheng Zhongfu was very unconvinced, but when he saw his father's resolute attitude, he had to agree, but when his father turned around, his eyes immediately changed.
"It seems that Uncle Li is right. The faint king is no longer guaranteed. The only solution now is to overthrow him and establish a new king, and then completely drive out the Jinren and Liangshan robbers."
Concided, Zheng Zhongfu told his father for a leave and then ran away quickly.
Zheng Yongduo looked at his son's back and couldn't help meditizing, "Son, if our Zheng family wants to be rich for a long time, we must make two preparations!" I hope you can succeed in this move."
Song Qing was scolding the envoy sent by Wang Gou on the ship at this time.
"You have also seen the magic weapon of Liang Shan. This is the lesson of Wang Gu's intention to betray me Liang Shan. You don't have to say anything. Let Wang Gu come to see me, otherwise I will blow up his palace. Get out of here!"
The envoy wiped his face with cold sweat and left obediently.
The shelling has stopped, and Song Qing is still very satisfied with the result of the shelling. If he brings ten or twenty artillery on his trip, he will not have to fight this battle, and he can directly move Beijing to the ground.
At his suggestion, the shells have also been modified, no longer simple solid shells, but also flowering bombs containing broken iron pieces, pure explosives, etc.
What has just been fired are all blasting bombs. This kind of shell has amazing explosive power and is the most destructive power. Now the buildings facing the sea in Beijing have been almost flattened and are on fire.
In such bombing, death and injury are inevitable, but this does not affect Song Qing's decision. The enemy's people are also their own enemies, so there is no mercy.
While waiting for Wang Gu's news, a team of people holding white flags and holding various items came to the shore. There were pigs and sheep in the crowd, and it seemed that they came to work.
Song Qing didn't think much and ordered people to put down the boat and ask about the situation.
The boat carried more than a dozen naval soldiers and a Korean interpreter to the shore.
At this moment, the group of Koreans with condolences suddenly put down their belongings and took out crossbows and shot at the defenseless naval soldiers.
In addition, some people took out their hidden bows and arrows and shot at the ship, and the bows and arrows were still tied with ignited gunpowder.
More than a dozen naval soldiers and interpreters fell into a pool of blood without defense. A 3,000-day warship closest to the coast was also hit by an arrow tied with gunpowder. After the explosion, a fire suddenly ignited.
This change was so sudden that the Koreans who had always behaved like sheep began to resist.
Seeing this scene, Song Qing couldn't help but blame himself for being careless. He had known that this was a capricious nation for a long time. Why did he still say something?
Immediately ordered the burning warship to be towed off the coast and fired flower bombs at the group of people who attacked.
The group of Koreans who succeeded in the sneak attack are shouting excitedly at this moment, and then they are ready to evacuate the coast, but no matter how fast they can run, how fast they can get cannonballs?
Two bursts of blooming down. Goodbye, most of the Koreans who were still shouting just now have been lying on the beach, rolling and screaming.
Song Qing looked at the scenery on the shore coldly and secretly said that since he dared to play, let's play more fiercely!
