Chapter 277 Out to Sea
The Spring Festival is coming in a blink of an eye.
Now the country is getting stronger, the four seas are rising, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, especially the people in the north. This is the first Spring Festival after the return to the Han Dynasty, and there are countless celebration programs.
The people had a peaceful Spring Festival, but the emperor's family did not have a good holiday. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the second son was stolen in his sleep.
The emperor's son is lost! Is that okay? For a moment, the emperor was furious, and Zhifengtang, the Black Panther's military government, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other relevant departments almost poured out. Many people were arrested, but the second son of the emperor was like evaporated from the world, and there was no news from then on.
In view of this situation of life without a person or a dead body, all kinds of rumors have emerged again.
In the palace, the masters are like clouds and are heavily guarded. What kind of talent can steal the child unconsciously in such monitoring? There must be an insider in the palace.
This matter is extremely tight, and only Wang Shenai knows about it, and Wang Shenai fell ill on the day the child was lost, which also reflects the situation of a mother's loss of her child.
During this period, many officials, both in the palace and the Luoyang government, have been arrested, and over time, this has become a headless public case.
During the Spring Festival, Li Xin, the son of Xiliang Li Wei, came to Luoyang as a hostage and brought 3,000 horses. He was so obedient that it was not easy for Lu Qiang to attack Li Wei for a while.
As the weather gradually warmed up, I don't know if Xu Daofu was so busy that he scared the king of Baekje. Just after March, he sent messengers to pay tribute with various gifts.
How can Lu Qiang take a fancy to their little thing? Since Li Wei can't do it for a while, he will turn all his energy to plundering the population.
This kind of thing seems to be shameless, but this is a world of the law of the jungle. If they are weak Han people in the Central Plains, just like the slaves of later generations, they are also plundering in the Central Plains.
Lu Qiang received the messenger of the king of Baekje in the court with high specifications and comforted him. At the same time, he asked the messenger to tell the king of Baekje that the army of the Celestial Empire just wanted to destroy the remnants of the rebel Liu Yi, which had nothing to do with the Baekje dynasty, as long as they did not participate.
Lu Qiang pretended to be confused. He believed that the king of Baekje was also mute and ate Huang Lian. Who let him keep Liu Yi's remnants?
After sending away the messengers of Baekje, Lu Qiang summoned Liu Sinu in the upper study.
Liu's daughter's children are not much different from Lu Qiang's children. Sun Yao and others often invite Liu's daughter's wife and children to play in the palace according to Lu Qiang's instructions, which is also a treatment that no minister has ever had.
In fact, Liu Siru has been protected by Lu Qiang during this period, so that he will not make too many enemies, which is not conducive to his future official career.
Liu Sinu still lived in the original mansion, so she came here in little time.
Looking at Liu Si's daughter, who is very white and fat, Lu Qiang smiled and said, "You are almost raised. It's time to do activities!"
Liu Si's daughter also smiled: "But according to your majesty's instructions"
"Before that, I told you that I planned to send you to the East China Sea. Before leaving, I also wanted to hear your thoughts on this trip."
After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Liu Sinu's expression became solemn and said, "After your majesty completed the task, I also looked up the information of Japan and Baekje and found that things were not so simple."
"First of all, behind Baekje, there is a more powerful Goguryeo and a relatively weak Silla. According to nautical merchants, Baekje not only surrendered to my court, but also to Goguryeo and Japan respectively. According to our Central Plains, this guy is a typical three-name domestic slave."
Lu Qiang is busy with government affairs all day and has just turned his attention completely to the Korean Peninsula, so the information he knows is not as much as that Liu Sinun deliberately investigates.
Listen attentively and nodded, "Go on"
"The king of Goguryeo is known as the good king. It is a very interesting title. His real name is Gao Tande. He is an ambitious guy. It is said that he defeated Murong Xi and plundered many people in Liaodong."
Hearing this, Lu Qiang couldn't help scolding Xu Daofu, the bandit leader. He was a good man in the war, but these meticulous work were too poor. If Liu Sinu hadn't told herself some things, he wouldn't have known it yet!
For a moment, he pondered and said, "Do you mean to unite with Goguli to destroy Baekje?"
Liu Sinu shook her head slightly and said, "On the contrary, my idea is that I mean to fight against Goguryeo on the grounds that Goguli plundered my border people, just to take advantage of Baekje."
After listening to Liu Sinu's words, Lu Qiang was stunned first, then smiled "haha" and pointed to Liu Sinu. After a moment, he said, "You are hidden enough. Why didn't I think of such a good way? OK, just do as you say"
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Would you like to be the commander of the expeditionary force?"
Liu Si's daughter was shocked and waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty can't. It's okay for me to come up with advice. If your Majesty is appointed as the commander-in-chief, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the public?"
Lu Qiang is right to think about it. After all, the main force of this operation is the navy, and the navy has always had its own generals. If it hastily landed in the past, it will be counterproductive.
nodded and said, "Remember, the purpose of this battle is population, and it is not appropriate to delay the war for too long. The best result is to build Baekje into a military port."
At this time, Lu Qiang also remembered that in the novels read in later generations, there was a plot that Yang Guang's nearly one million troops did not fight against Goryeo, so he could not fall too deeply. When did he have the power to attack at the same time, let's talk about completely calming Goguryeo.
After Liu's daughter left, Lu Qiang summoned the cabinet to tell them the intention and specific plan of the battle, and asked them to say their opinions.
Han Yanzhi took the lead in nodding and said, "Your Majesty's idea is to destroy the road and replenish it on the spot. It is not a heavy burden on the court. After success, it can also bring a large population to the north."
Yan Yanzhi's book was still angry and hesitated, "Your Majesty, does it damage the prestige of the heavenly kingdom to do this?"
Sun Hu smiled and said, "Lord Yan took on his face. In the past, Murong occupied the land of Han people in the Central Plains, and Goguryeo openly plundered the people from the old Yan land, didn't he just plunder our people in the Central Plains? Therefore, Your Majesty's move is very good, and at the same time, we send troops overseas, which can also make Tuoba and Yao Xing sleep well."
Hearing what Sun Hu said was interesting, everyone laughed.
Then the cabinet drafted the decree, Lu Qiang used the seal, fought against the remnants of Liu Yi, and conquered Goguryeo, and the imperial edict to save the plundered border people passed on.
At the same time, Xu Daofu was appointed as the commander-general of the navy and the marshal of the expeditionary army, and Liu Sinu was appointed as the general of Jinghai and the counselor of the army. He dispatched 80,000 navies and nearly 1,000 large and small warships to sail from the same day and expedition across the sea to Baekje.
In fact, strictly speaking, Goguryeo should indeed teach a lesson. If their navy hadn't been as strong as the Jin Dynasty navy, I guess they would have come here, and what Lu Qiang Junchen didn't know was that Goguryeo had robbed all the merchant ships of Japan to the Central Plains, and the merchants were brutally killed.
The officers and soldiers of Goguryeo are so clean that up to now, the Jin Dynasty and Japan think that the merchant ship was robbed by pirates.
However, with the Jin navy's expedition to Goguryeo, the Goguryeo people consciously believed that they were not close, which attracted the Jin army to revenge.
It's just that Gao Tande is very strange. Why didn't the Jin army attack from land, but only the navy all the way?
For this reason, Gao Tande sent countless scouts to monitor the east direction of the Jin army in the Great Wall so that he could mobilize the army at any time. However, what Gao Tande never expected was that there was no movement in the Jin army, but Tuoba began to gather the army as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
And after inching, I found out that when Tuoba Gui retreated from Yanmenguan last year, he bet with the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to fight with cavalry to determine the final attribution of Youzhou.
This is good news. As far as Gao Tande knows, as far as the cavalry is concerned, it seems that no army can defeat the Wei army, and once the Jin army is defeated, the Wei army is bound to enter the Central Plains. At that time, the crisis on his side can not only be relieved, but also something may be fished.
After making this idea, Gao Tande re-formulates the battle plan and decides to focus on defense, delaying the Jin army as much as possible, and then wait for the opportunity to defeat the enemy.
In fact, at this time, there are still a few months away from the time agreed between Lu Qiang and Tuoba guyui. Tuoba gu's convening people at this time, but he was afraid that he would lose. From then on, he could not raise his head in front of the people and the Jin Emperor and selected elite soldiers in advance.
Tuobai's movement has long been reported by spies to Luoyang. Lu Qiang only smiled after hearing this. Now 5,000 armored infantry and 5,000 armored cavalry have been equipped and are training secretly in a secret place.
This 10,000-rider infantry is selected from all armies, and they are all veterans. Although it has not been long, it is enough for them to be familiar with this new tactics.
Liu's daughter went to sea by boat for the first time. Although the sea view was beautiful, the bumps of the sea boat almost made him spit out his intestines.
The army docked in the sea area of Weili City, the capital of Baekje.
In fact, when the king of Baekje heard that the Jin army came on an expedition, the bitter water was about to spit out. He was not stupid. Of course, he could see that the drunken man of the Jin army was not wine, and Goguli was also close to the sea. Why didn't the Jin army go there to dock?
It is clear that his strength is not as good as others, and he can only let the fleet of the Jin army dock.
Now he finally understands that the three domestic slaves are not so good, but this understanding is a little too late. If the Jin army can't defeat Goguryeo this time, he will face Goguryeo's crazy revenge alone in the future.
The king of Baekje accepted his fate, which does not mean that everyone accepted his fate. That is, Liu Yi's remnants, who are hidden in the Baekje army.
It is said that the relationship between the leading soldiers of Liu Yi's remnants and Liu Yi is not far away. He is Liu Yi's fake son, Liu Gang. It is also with this identity that he can quickly collect Liu Yi's remnants and stand on his feet in Baekje.
