Li Qing pondered all night, in the early morning, Li Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and he was still standing next to the chart, and he could see that Li Qing's face was full of exhaustion, in fact, Li Qing had already had an idea in his heart, that is, he had not made up his mind, Li Qing was ready to gamble, which was very similar to his emperor Lao Tzu.
After making up his final mind, Li Qing walked out of his cabin, Zhou Hai had been waiting outside Li Qing's cabin door, Li Qing saw Zhou Hai and asked, "Where is Zheng Baolin?"
"Lord Wang, Brother Zheng led three sea ships to set off."
Li Qing patted his head and said: "This king has forgotten about this matter, what is the position of the fleet now, when will it be able to reach Canghai Island?"
"Lord Wang, you can arrive this evening."
Zhou Hai said to Li Qing.
"Order the fleet to speed up, send another herald ship first, and tell Zhou Tao to gather all the troops and board the ship as soon as the fleet arrives."
Li Qing ordered.
"Yes, Commandment" When the sailor fleet arrived at Canghai Island, Zheng Baolin had already returned, and the atmosphere in the general rudder of Canghai Island was very solemn, Li Qing sat on the handsome seat and said: "What is the current situation, you don't need to say that you all know it, nonsense later, this king has decided to take a risk, this king is going to make a big gamble this time, bet on the lives of you and all of this king, if anyone is timid, you can leave now" "I'll swear to follow the prince to the death" "Okay."
Li Qing continued: "Zheng Baolin obeys the order, this king ordered you to lead the three warships under your command to contain the main force of the Shimazu Naval Division, no matter what method you use, this king must drag them to this king, the longer the better." ” "Yes, the last general commands" "Everyone else left the ship and left the island."
Li Qing continued.
Zhou Tao said to Li Qing: "Lord Wang, our ships simply can't carry so many people. ” "The first batch sent all the cavalry troops, as well as fangs and minions, and the rest could be transported as much as they could, each carrying ten days' dry rations, and the old and weak women and children were left on the island first."
Li Qing said; "Rest assured, this king is not fleeing with you to move and flee, but to fight into the enemy's territory; Our army has more than 3,500 troops and more than 30 sea ships, Zhou Tao, you tell this king how long it will take to transport all the 3,500 troops to the Wa Kingdom?"
"Lord Wang, it will take at least four to five days, because we can't transport so many troops in one trip, and there are still five hundred cavalry and more than one thousand two hundred war horses."
Zhou Tao said.
"Well, this king led the first batch of landing troops first, including 500 cavalry, 300 fangs and minions, and 700 foot soldiers, totaling more than 1,500 people, and landed at the closest place to the Wa Kingdom."
Li Qing said; "After the first landing force came ashore, the fleet immediately returned and brought the remaining two thousand soldiers and horses to the king, and then the fleet joined Zheng Baolin, especially with full command, and appointed Zhou Tao as a deputy general to assist; Do you two have to hold back the fleet of sailors of the Wa Kingdom to this king before the king captures Satsuma Castle?"
"Understand, obey the king's orders."
"This battle is related to our life and death, if we win this battle, we will control the golden waterway of the Japanese country, if we lose this battle, we will die and have no place to be buried."
Li Qing led the first batch of soldiers to the territory of the Shimazu family, in order to save time as much as possible, Li Qing chose the shortest route to sail, now Li Qing is most afraid of encountering the Shimazu sailors in the process of sailing, once the enemy fleet meets the result is that the whole army is annihilated; Because the sea ships under Li Qing's command were full of soldiers and various supplies, they moved slowly, and once the two armies met, they couldn't run if they wanted to.
However, Li Qing was relatively smooth, and successfully landed on Kyushu Island in the afternoon of the next day, and did not encounter the slightest resistance, the population of the Japanese country was not large during this period, so not all places had Japanese people, and the landing was not so simple and it was not easy to lose people ashore, and there were a large number of materials and armaments, which had to be moved down from the ship.
"Where are we now," Li Qing asked Masao Yamashita.
Yamashita Masao said to Li Qing: "My lord, we are now in the northeast of Satsuma Country, and more than 300 miles south is the Satsuma Mansion, the old nest of the Shimazu family. ” "Three hundred miles is not too far, the cavalry can arrive in two days, and now that our first landing force has come ashore, we must not rush to attack, and order all to camp on the spot and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops."
Li Qing issued a military order; "Command the fangs and minions to strike and sweep through all the surrounding villages and towns."
"Yamashita Commands" As the saying goes, soldiers are fast, but Li Qing is not fast this time, according to common sense, he should now take advantage of Shimazu Tadahisa to react, and immediately send troops to the Satsuma Kingdom to annihilate it in one fell swoop; But Li Qing did the opposite, waiting for follow-up reinforcements without moving, and the first reaction of this approach was that Li Qing was timid; But in fact, it is not, Li Qingfei not only does not have any timidity, but also has great self-confidence.
The reason why Li Qing did not continue to move forward was actually to give Shimazu Tadahisa enough time to gather his army, if Li Qing raided now, he could definitely take the Satsuma Kingdom in one fell swoop, but even if he could take the Satsuma Kingdom, what was the use As long as the Shimazu family refused to surrender, they could still organize troops to resist in various places, after all, Li Qing did not annihilate all the main forces of the Shimazu family.
Li Qing was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to annihilate the main army of the Shimazu family in one fell swoop; Three days later, Li Qing's second army arrived, and now Li Qing's total strength has reached more than 3,500 men, and the fleet continued to go to sea to join Zheng Baolin after transporting all the soldiers, and Zheng Baolin officially took over the naval force.
In the northeast of Canghai Island, a large-scale naval battle is ongoing, this is since the battle of Baijiangkou, the Wa State Naval Division and the Chinese Naval Division fought again, the Battle of Baijiangkou that year the Wa National Naval Division also occupied an absolute advantage, but in the end it was defeated in the hands of the Tang Dynasty Naval Division, today Zheng Baolin is hoping to regain the glory of the past.
"General, our reinforcements have arrived."
The adjutant general said to Zheng Baolin.
In the past few days, Zheng Baolin's pressure can be said to be very great, with three sea ships and Shimazu Tadashi fighting spirit, Zheng Baolin took advantage of the large speed of his own ship, and entangled the Shimazu sailors of the Japanese kingdom to the death, once he found that the lone ships immediately swarmed up to wipe them out, Zheng Baolin has been wandering around the periphery of the Shimazu sailors, but the Shimazu Tadashi was angry, but he didn't move; Because Shimazu Tadashi found that he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't catch up after fighting, and he hadn't found the pirate's lair for so long, Shimazu Tadashi was already annoyed.
But today, the sailors of the Beihai Gang converged, and the main force arrived, although there is still a big gap compared with the sailors of the Wa Kingdom, but Zheng Baolin already has enough strength to destroy the Shimazu Sailors, after the convergence of the sailors, Zheng Baolin did not immediately fight with Shimazu Tadashi, but has been in the capital circle, Zheng Baolin is delaying time for Li Qing.
