Chapter 25: The Turbulent Rain (1)

The bombardment was constantly ongoing for three days and three nights, and the burning ashes were not extinguished for three days and three nights.

The military and civilians on the shore did not dare to approach within 500 steps of the shore, because during the day, Liaodong warships outside the waterway would sail into the port and continue to fire guns on the shore, and within 500 steps of the shore, they would become scorched earth.

The Liaodong Navy completely implemented Salini's order. Wherever the navy saw it, it was not allowed to float on the water.

The ships in the port and even the fishermen's sampan were cleaned up. It turned out that a squadron arranged by Li Shan on the outer sea was also destroyed. A ship that attempted to escape was chased to the Guangchuan ocean two hundred miles north before being sunk.

It was too bullying. The gap in weapons and tactical thinking made Mokpo Port suffer a disaster. One hundred and eighty warships were sunk and burned, twelve were captured by the Liaodong Navy, and more than one thousand people were lost to Goryeo.

The fleet preparing to expedition to Tanluo, while chatting and laughing, the walls and oars were destroyed. The battle made the people of Li Chao frightened. Kim Eng lamented in his own notes: In the Battle of Mopu, the Liaodong Navy will be intimidated by North Korea for a hundred years.

The fledgling Yu Yi took extraordinary action and defeated Danluo's internal and external troubles in one battle. As soon as he arrived at Danluo, he found out the situation with Li Cun and knew that Jin Zimu had repeatedly asked Li Cun to tell him that he was rebellious.

Although Li Cun informed Wang Luchao early in the morning, he was helpless and had no excuse to attack Jin Zimu.

After understanding the following situation, Yu Yi offered this strategy of killing two birds with one stone to Wang Luchao. On the one hand, the Liaodong navy attacked Mopu Port, and on the other hand, it posted rumors that the navy was defeated.

As expected, Jin Zimu, who was already shaken, wanted to take this opportunity to rebel and take down Wang Lu to ask for credit from Li Chenggui. Who knew that Li Cun, who had been attracted by him, reported it to Li Yi, so Li Cun ordered Li Cun to take advantage of the situation and set up such a trap.

When Jin Zimu attacked the camp, the Liaodong fleet, which had been ambushing for a long time, entered Jipu Port to attack Jin Zimu's fleet in one fell swoop.

Although Wang Luchao could not bear it, Yuyi insisted on killing all the officers of more than a hundred households in Jinzimu's army, to intimidate those people who were indifferent. He also took the opportunity to completely adopt the largest pirates under Wang Luchao.

A large-scale reorganization began on Danluo Island. All the armed forces who participated in the rebellion were dispersed and reorganized. Five thousand strong men were selected from the 10,000 people, and another thousand navy troops were selected, and the remaining 4,000 were divided into different garrisons to carry out farming and animal husbandry.

It turned out that more than 20 ships of Jinzimu had surrendered. In addition to the twelve warships captured by the Li Chao Navy, Salini selected ten large ships of more than 2,000 materials as spoils, and the others were all under Wang Luchao's command to form the Danlu Navy.

The Liaodong Navy left a teaching team for training.

The Liaodong Navy stayed in Danluo for another ten days. It seemed that the Li Dynasty was indeed unable to launch an attack, so he returned to the court.

This time, Wang Luchao selected another 500 good horses to Liaodong for food, armor and weapons. Anyway, Liaodong will always transport goods worth more than this, so he will also eat the Liao king's help to him.

...

There was a miserable mist in the palace of Seoul. The news of Mopo's defeat made Li Chenggui distressed for many days. If Liaodong had hidden his support for Wang Luchao in the past, then this time he had already blatantly sent troops to help.

Most of the Navy in the Li Dynasty was destroyed in Mopu, which was equivalent to announcing that the Seoul court had lost control of Danluo from then on. The Liao King helped to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot this time, interrupting the Li Dynasty's lifeline.

Wang Luchao can stand invincible, recruit surrender and rebel, and develop freely. And can also send warships to harass the seashore, and the Li Dynasty will never have any peace again. What did he do wrong? The Liao King must oppose the Li Dynasty in this way!

Today, Li Chenggui summoned important officials of the court to the study room to discuss matters. Li Chenggui remained calm in front of the minister. He sat on it and said slowly: "My dear ministers, what suggestions do you have for the current situation?"

Li Shan vomited blood and couldn't get sick. Li Yue hated Liaodong so much that he said in a silence: "Your Majesty, who can't bear it? The King of Liao bullies our dynasty so much, and he clearly doesn't take the king into consideration. From then on, our dynasty will never have peace.

I am willing to raise 100,000 powerful soldiers, cross the river and attack Liaodong in the north, and ask the king to issue an order."

Shangshu Ling Zheng Dongxuan immediately jumped out to object: "No, Lord Cui Zhenzhe is on an envoy on Liaodong.

If the troops are sent, how can he ensure his safety? This is one thing; the second is that Liaodong is strong and the horses have just destroyed Haixi. Our dynasty has only 300,000 armors in total, which is not as good as Liaodong in any aspect.

Moreover, once we meet, we will face not only the Liaodong area, but the real Ming Dynasty. The disaster of our dynasty will soon be destroyed."

Li Yue was so angry that he jumped up from his seat and said, "You! You are pedantic and ruined the country. Now the King of Liao bullies our court like this. If you don't show your strength, you and I here, including the king, will suffer humiliation!"

Li Taihao, Minister of War, said: "Bold. The Grand Commander's local language is a bit too much."

Li Yue was angry and said nothing. After someone reminded him, he realized that he quickly bowed to Li Chenggui and claimed his crime: "My memory, Meng Lang, the king forgive me." Li Chenggui waved his hand to signal to continue the discussion.

Li Taihao said: "The king, the current plan is to increase troops to the Yalu River on the one hand, and send envoys to Liaodong to negotiate with the Liao king, accusing him of blatant support for Wang Ni."

Grand Secretary Su Changxiu shook his head and said, "Even if you ask questions, the King of Liao can reply to one lightly. The Ming Dynasty has not yet recognized the Li Dynasty. This is the most passive part of our dynasty."

Zheng Dongxuan nodded and said, "The last time Cui Shangshu replied, he also vaguely mentioned this issue. Lord Yang, the chief secretary of the Liao king, accepted our gift and agreed to speak to me.

But he also said that the Liao King meant that before the Ming Dynasty recognized our dynasty, Wang Ni was still orthodox." As he said that, he glanced at Li Chenggui with his eyes, and saw that Li Chenggui's face was still pale.

Zheng Dongxuan thought about it and said, "According to my opinion, we can only take a two-pronged approach now. On the one hand, we must make good efforts with Liaodong, and on the other hand, we must seek recognition from Yingtian as soon as possible.

As long as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty enfeoffed our dynasty, even if the King of Liao has the courage to do so, he would not dare to violate the emperor's edict."

Li Taihao said: "Yes, Lord Shangshu Ling is right. Now that the land passage on Liaodong has been blocked by the King of Liao, we should go to Shandong or Jiangsu and Zhejiang to go to the court to pay tribute, and request the Emperor of Ming to enfeoff the imperial seal."

These words are indeed in the light. Li Chenggui nodded frequently and said to Cao Binghun, the Minister of Rites, saying: "Cao Qing's family, our dynasty has not sent a delegation to the Ming Dynasty for nearly a year. Please come here this year, and in any case, you must ask the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to recognize our dynasty.

”

Cao Binghun was ordered by Li Chenggui, and Khan immediately emerged. Two years ago, Zheng Dao was reported to have sent a mission to the Ming Dynasty and was assassinated by Wang Luchao and his gang. Until now, the Ming Dynasty has not given any explanation. In his opinion, this is about sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

But Li Chenggui spoke, and Cao Binghun could not refuse, so he could only agree with the help.

"Report! Lord Cui Zhenzhe is back, Lord Cui Zhenzhe is back!" The eunuch outside called in.

Everyone in the study suddenly became energetic. Li Chenggui got up and left his seat and walked to the door in three or two steps and said, "Hurry, pass it quickly."

After a while, Cui Zhenzhe quickly walked into the inner palace, covered in sweat, rushed forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, you! Youther Majesty! Youther Majesty is back and report."

Li Chenggui quickly walked to the yard and helped Cui Zhenzhe up: "Cui Aiqing, I miss you so hard!"

Cui Zhenzhe burst into tears and choked and said, "I have not fulfilled the mission assigned by the king. Please punish him."

Li Chenggui supported Cui Zhenzhe and said, "Thank you for your hard work, come on, come in and talk to you."

The king and his ministers returned to the study room. As soon as Li Chenggui's butt was stuck to his seat, he asked: "Cui Aiqing, tell me about the situation over there."

Cui Zhenzhe choked up and said, "I left Liaodong ten days ago and ran all the way into Beijing. I just arrived in the capital today and learned about the war at Mopu Port. I brought the Liao King's document from Liaodong and asked the king to take a look." As he said that, he took out a document from his arms.

Li Chenggui opened the document and read it from beginning to end, and slapped the document on the table with his palm: "Children Zhu Zhi, such a threat is simply too much!" Li Chenggui was so angry that he stood up from the chair and walked quickly in the study.

Zheng Dongxuan took the document and consulted with several ministers around him. Cui Zhenzhe lowered his head, obviously he already knew the contents of the document.

After reading the clerk, Zheng Dongxuan said, "I actually asked the king to make peace with Wang Ni! The Liao king's request was too much."

Li Yue glared and said, "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated! No matter what, Wang Ni is a thief, and he will be crushed by our army sooner or later. The king must not agree to such unreasonable requests."

Li Chenggui walked around twice and said to Cui Zhenzhe: "Cui Aiqing, you have been there, talk and see."

Cui Zhenzhe said: "Return to the king, I stayed in Liaodong for a month. At first, the King of Liao left me for ten days. Ten days later, the head of the royal palace, Mr. Yang Rong and Yang, met with the minister.

Lord Yang was a confidant of the King of Liao. At first, he always spoke to the minister. Fortunately, at least he liked this. After a while, he collected 1,000 taels of silver before he started to say something to the minister.

Yang Rong said that His Highness the King of Liao and His Highness the King of Yan were a little disagreeable, so His Highness the King of Liao was very prejudiced against the king. It was precisely because of this reason that His Highness the King of Liao repeatedly made things difficult for the king.

Later, Lord Yang told me that another reason for Your Highness was that the navy and the royal palace had a contract and how much goods they had to collect every year, so he repeatedly allowed the navy to invade our court. "This sentence made several ministers look at each other.

The Liao King actually instigated his subordinates to loot, what contracts do they have? What is the difference between the Liao King and the robber leader?

Cui Zhenzhe continued: "I was surprised to hear this. Lord Yang also said that the King of Liao did not like our dynasty because of the King of Yan. He gave advice to the ministers. As long as your highness no longer had a good relationship with the King of Yan, the attitude of the King of Liao might change. Regarding Wang Ni's affairs, Lord Yang meant to follow the advice of the King of Liao, make peace with Wang Ni, and include Wang Ni in our dynasty. At that time, the King of Liao's attitude changed, and Wang Ni would not just want to clean up.
