At the Tokyo Imperial Army, Guo Shao brought two princes and a group of civil and military officials in the lobby of the camp.
The emperor casually pointed to a soldier and asked about the military position, the amount of salary received in the past three months, and the amount of money and goods in detail.
After hearing this, Guo Shao thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.
He knew how much benefit a soldier of the Imperial Army should get.
By the situation of an ordinary soldier, he can judge the internal management of the imperial guards.
At this time, Guo Shao said in public: The situation in Dongdao has deteriorated, and the court has already had two countermeasures.First, I have often urged Jiangning Shipyard to build warships day and night, preparing to reinforce the soldiers and brothers of Shijianbao with Daxun regular troops.Secondly, the Ministry of Rites and the Envoy of Guest Province have discussed with the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom to strive for the Goryeo Navy to reinforce Zhang Jiankui's troops as soon as possible.
A general immediately bowed: Your Majesty personally worked hard for the commander, and I am ashamed.
Immediately, a cabinet assistant said softly: Minister Zan of the Ministry of Works is also on Dongdao...
After hearing this, Guo Shao said loudly: The soldiers of the imperial guards fight for me!Not to mention hundreds of people, even if one of them is deeply trapped in the enemy country, I will do my best to reinforce and rescue him whenever there is a way.
If my family members sit idly and refuse to save them, who can still go on the battlefield with peace of mind in the future?
After hearing this, the soldiers were moved and bowed to him: It is a great honor for the last generals to serve Your Majesty!
Guo Shao was not a shameful word. He was really asking about the progress of everything in the east every day.
After returning to the palace, Lu Duosun met and said: The Goryeo envoy did not refuse to send troops, but kept bargaining with the court.The Goryeo people mean that Daxu wanted to recognize and send troops to help them obtain the old land of the Bohai Kingdom, so the Goryeo army formed an alliance with the Xu army and sent troops to the East Island.
Guo Shao asked: How do you send troops to help them?
Ludoson said: It's being discussed.
Guo Shao frowned and said: The Koreans are good at playing, and the Liao Kingdom is the most difficult to deal with. How much does it cost to send troops to the expedition? Now I haven’t gotten any benefits from Dongdao, so what can I use to help them?What's more, the situation in East Island has deteriorated, and this war is inevitable...
Lu Duosun bowed and said: I think that the Goryeo people have always been in disagreement with the Japanese, and I like to see our country going to war against Japan.However, what the Goryeo people want is the vast land of Liaodong, and they did not seek Japan for the time being; not to mention that they understand that conquering Japan is also a great benefit for us.So I took the opportunity to bargain with Daxun.
Guo Shao said: Continue to discuss with them, even if the Koreans are unwilling to send troops, if they can mobilize ships and help me transport materials to Dongdao to reinforce, they can also make appropriate compromises and mutual benefits.
Ludoson said: Follow the order.
Guo Shao said again: Japan first killed our officials, and then attacked our warships and killed our imperial soldiers. He did not take Daxu's court seriously at all. It was extremely bad.This matter must not be given up!He sent an order to send Japanese envoys to inform the Ping'anjing court to explain and take responsibility for the matter, otherwise the Daxu court would razend Ping'anjing to the ground!
After hearing this, Lu Duosun looked terrified.
Guo Shao did not want to compromise with Japan at all, and in terms of view, Japan was also different from the previous Southern Tang and Shu countries, and there was no intention of compromise and surrender... Only a war could be resolved if there was no agreement.
He read historical books and said that wars in ancient and modern times generally happened in this way; and it was difficult to reach an agreement without letting the other party see the unbearable price. Ancient politicians said that the consequences of using the land to serve Qin, and it seems that it is the instinct of strong people to gain a goal and maximize their interests.
What morality is something that only when there are constraints and weighing the pros and cons.
In an era without nuclear weapons, it is impossible to preserve the emperor's face without force.It is ridiculous and ridiculous to say that other tribes are barbaric and unreasonable.
……
At Ishimi Fortress on the East Island, Zhang Jiankui stood at the top of the city, looking westward at the distant sea, and was silent for a long time.
A voice came from next to him: Commander Zhang, the general who saw that the reinforcements would not come for a while.
At this moment, Zhang Jiankui felt a little uneasy.
He turned his head in the voice and saw that it was the ten generals Yu Liang.
Zhang Jiankui knew all the military generals here, and he had a deeper impression of Yu Liang... because this person is also the most handsome among the hundreds of commanders.
Zhang Jiankui let out a breath and asked Yu Liang easily: That Japanese lady, what kind of love did you give me?
Yu Liang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Jiankui smiled and said: Don’t worry, there is no prohibition of soldiers from surviving prostitution in the imperial guards’ military law.
Yu Liang said shamelessly: The last general is not considered a prostitute, that girl is not a kiln sister.
Zhang Jiankui laughed: I can hear that the girl is picking up customers.
Seeing his expression, Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said: General Zhang doesn’t know that their customs are different from those of the Central Plains, and they do not value chastity as much as we do.What did she say that day? Many warriors' families are poor and cannot get a wife, or they can only ask the ugly little lady as their wives, and cannot afford to raise a beautiful little lady; but the good-looking little lady is unwilling to live a hard life, and at the same time, it is not wrong to interact with many warriors and accept their gifts.The warriors do not have to bear the expenses of the beautiful ladies alone, so it is useless to ask women to be chaste.
Zhang Jiankui smiled and said: Damn, a woman can still tell some self-justified fallacies.
Yu Liang also laughed for a while.
As soon as he talked about that girl, he saw Miko walking towards the city wall.Zhang Jiankui stood there and looked at him quietly, and Yu Liang next to him didn't say anything.
Soon after, soldiers came forward to report: General Zhang, the girl in the camp asked for a meeting.
Let her come up.Zhang Jiankui stood on the wall and said.
Miko climbed up the city wall from the sloped earth steps and said slowly: I will pay homage to General Zhang.
Forget it.Zhang Jiankui turned his head and looked at Yu Liang.
Miko pondered for a moment and said: I have something to ask for in today... I want General Zhang to leave here.
Zhang Jiankui couldn't help but ask: Miko's little lady thinks the soldiers have no money?
When Miko heard this, her face was embarrassed and she lowered her head and said: To be honest, I feel that this place is becoming more and more dangerous.
Zhang Jiankui said calmly: Why do you say this?
Miko said: The Japanese Army will attack this small town... What's more, hundreds of men are crowded together, and only one woman is. If something happens, how can I bear it?General Zhang, for the sake of Miko's helping you, let me go!
Zhang Jiankui thought that this girl didn't look like a spy. After all, she was originally from the Takasaki family, so she waved tolerantly: You are not a prisoner, you can leave as long as you want.
Yu Liang couldn't help asking: Where is Miko going?
Miko said softly: Find an acquaintance in Omori first, maybe stay in Omori, or go to Ermo County.
Yu Liang said: Does Miko have a place to live?
Miko whispered: General Yu, don’t worry, I have my own way of survival.After saying that, he bid farewell to Zhang Jiankui and others.
After a while, Yu Liang also said goodbye to Zhang Jiankui.Zhang Jiankui guessed that this guy would go to see the little lady off, but he didn't care.
The surrounding mountains and forests are very quiet and rarely seen.But at this time, Zhang Jiankui had already smelled the breath of gunpowder from various signs, and even a young lady was sure of the danger of fighting...
He stood alone on the city wall for a long time, and the surroundings were very quiet.
Only Xu Jun's on duty soldiers stood nearby. Although there were scouts outside, the soldiers in the fort were more serious than usual.
The soldiers standing on the whistle stared at the eyes, as if they were not moving, but their eyes were constantly moving, quietly observing the movements of the mountains and forests in the distance to the east.
Zhang Jiankui paid attention to the soldiers' care and walked down the city wall with confidence. He came to the command office and saw Zan Jurun writing hard there.
Our troops are too small and can only shrink into the fortress and give up the periphery.Zhang Jiankui spoke.
Zan Jurun looked up and said: Commander Zhang continued, I will finish writing soon.
Zhang Jiankui sat down on a rough wooden bench and said: To defend the city, the enemy must be prepared to attack day and night, so the last general thought that the deployment of troops would be modified.
snort.Zan Jurun made a voice, indicating that he was listening, but his pen was still not stopping.Zhang Jiankui didn't know what he was writing.
Zhang Jiankui said: Apart from the civil servants and clerks, there were 516 soldiers in the castle.At the end, we will have two ideas. First, if the enemy attacks day and night, we will divide these troops into three squads, each squad about 170 people; during wartime, two squads are on duty, and 340 defenders are on duty, and the remaining squads are resting and preparing, and if the defense is dangerous, we will urgently go to the city to reinforce.
Secondly, the Japanese army may not be able to siege together on all sides, so our defenders should remain maneuverable when arriving in defense and prepare in advance to mobilize rules and regulations.
Although Zan Jurun buried his head, he looked up and praised: Zhang Commander's method is very wonderful and has made great progress. I said that you are not only the commander's talent.
Zhang Jiankui took the opportunity to say: Under the account of Mr. Zan, he has been well cultivated and will make great progress.
After hearing this, Zan Jurun said meaningfully: This official can't control the imperial guards, nor is he very good at military tactics and formation techniques.
Zhang Jiankui was silent for a while, and saw that there was no one here, he said again: The young lady we caught last time was afraid of the danger of war and had already begged to leave. It seems that this battle is a foregone conclusion.
Zan Jurun said in surprise: Commander Zhang is a veteran on the battlefield, and is he still afraid of fighting?Just do it when you come!
Zhang Jiankui hurriedly said: The battle formation is familiar with the way of killing the generals... But to be honest, it is the first time since he joined the army, and then he realized that he has a great responsibility and can do it by virtue of courage.
Zan Jurun put the brush on the inkstone and patted the man on the shoulder: Commander Zhang has done a good job and has lived up to the important tasks entrusted by His Majesty.
When Zhang Jiankui heard about His Majesty, he realized the reason why he was a little nervous, because the emperor personally ordered the garrison of this fortress.He clasped his fists and said to the west: I dare not let the emperor down!
Zan Jurun nodded: It is rare to see such monarchs in the past, and it is the opportunity for you and me to make achievements.Commander Zhang doesn’t have to worry too much.
The emperor casually pointed to a soldier and asked about the military position, the amount of salary received in the past three months, and the amount of money and goods in detail.
After hearing this, Guo Shao thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.
