Li Tai has also been the prefect of Qiongzhou for some time, and he is also very familiar with the situation in Qiongzhou and the surrounding prefectures. Especially for the neighboring Leizhou Mansion, he knows everything about it. happened to encounter such a thing today, and he already had a thought in his heart to take the opportunity to get rid of the fierce rival of the prefect of Leizhou.

"General soldier, the food shortage in Qiongzhou Mansion is only temporary, but it is urgent. Far water can't save a nearby fire, and it obviously won't work to transfer it from too far away. At the moment, Xia Guan thinks that it is most suitable to ask for food from the neighboring Leizhou Mansion. Li Tai's point-to-point analysis.

"Does Leizhou Mansion have enough grain in stock?" Mao Wenlong frowned, if Leizhou Mansion had enough grain in stock, then of course it would be better. But the current Leizhou Mansion should not have enough food in stock, otherwise Haoxiao would not have been in such a hurry before, and all the problems could be solved nearby.

"The general soldier doesn't know that Leizhou Mansion is adjacent to Qiongzhou Mansion, and usually the prolific grain of Qiongzhou Mansion will be transported to Leizhou Mansion for storage. If this comes and goes, the prefect over there can definitely deduct some of it and keep it for private use. If this is in peacetime, it is completely reasonable, but now that the Qiongzhou Mansion is in urgent need of food to relieve the siege, the Leizhou Governor refuses to take out the grain he has withheld. ”

Li Tai's expression was slightly excited, and his words were even more sonorous, and he almost made a military order in front of Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong frowned, he also felt that Li Tai was very confident, and it was common for some local officials to deduct things. After pondering for a while, Mao Wenlong asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that this Leizhou prefect really has food stocks that can be used in an emergency?" ”

Li Tai said without hesitation: "Yes, and there are only a few more, and the lower officials can lead the way in person." If he can't find enough food from the prefect of Leizhou, the lower officials are willing to use the black gauze hat on the top as a bet. ”

Mao Wenlong chuckled: "That's good." ”

Then he turned his head and said to Hao: "You order 3,000 troops, and immediately go to Leizhou Mansion with Governor Li to complete this time." Deliver grain to Qiongzhou Prefecture as soon as possible for emergencies. ”

"Yes, Commander!" The mighty arch responded.

Mao Wenlong waved the two away and left them alone in the room, and then began to eat his meal.

But he had just eaten a few bites, and Adou hurriedly came over, and when he saw Mao Wenlong, he just bowed his hand slightly and said directly: "Chief soldier, the latest news from the Wa Kingdom." ”

"What's the news, let's hear about it." Mao Wenlong continued to eat, just glancing at Adou.

"According to Wren's information, the Wa Kingdom has recently been amassing a large army and is in close contact with the Yiren coalition forces that are staying at sea, and after inquiry, it is known that they will raid Korea in a month's time." Adou bowed his hand.

Mao Wenlong's action of picking up vegetables stopped, and he turned his head to look at Adou in surprise: "Why did the Japanese suddenly attack North Korea on a large scale?" ”

Adou shook his head and replied: "My subordinates don't know, and Rennes's message doesn't mention the reason. ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and muttered while wiping his mouth: "North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and we, as the upper dynasty, have the responsibility to protect them. At the same time, we must not allow the alliance between the Japanese and the Yi people to succeed, and it seems that we must prepare early and then conquer the Japanese as soon as possible. ”

"The subordinates are willing to be the vanguard, and the dark guard battalion is ready to wait for the orders of the commander-in-chief." Adou replied with a serious face.

"The Eastern Expedition is naturally indispensable to your secret guard camp, now go back and get ready, and when the food problem in Qiongzhou Mansion is solved, you will go out with the army." Mao Wenlong said in a deep voice.

Adou was overjoyed when he heard this, and after giving up, he resigned and retired.

When Mao Wenlong was worried about the trivial matters of Qiongzhou Mansion, the Wa Kingdom far away in the East China Sea was not peaceful. The Yiren coalition originally had more than 400 warships, which was definitely an unprecedented coalition army, and each fleet of the Yiren would not exceed a hundred ships in the past. And this time, there are more than 400 ships, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.

It is no wonder that the Japanese people, who had lost their control of the sea, had no power to resist and were subdued by the Yiren coalition army, and most of the warships of the Japanese were destroyed by the Dongjiang army before winter. The remaining warships could not go to sea at all, but after a cold winter had passed, the Wako quickly built more than 300 warships.

The artillery is sponsored by the Yi people's coalition forces, and its combat power should not be underestimated. The previous sneak attack on Qiongzhou Mansion was also instructed by the Japanese Kou to be instructed by the Yiren coalition army, and the Moduo grain brought back was directly divided between the two armies, which greatly alleviated the crisis of food shortage.

But without its own production of food, relying on robbery is obviously far from satisfying such a large military degree. So the Yi people and the Japanese invaders came up with the idea of getting enough food from them to feed the army. By the way, they also took the Korean state, and then integrated the forces of the Korean state to increase the size of the two armies.

This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and with the combined strength of the Yiren coalition army and the Japanese army, it is completely easy to take North Korea. This is a very lucrative deal, and both the Yiren coalition and the Japanese invaders attach great importance to it.

On the dark sea of the Japanese Kingdom, hundreds of warships floated quietly on the sea, and the night was very peaceful. However, in this peaceful night, there are some discordant situations.

The lights on a huge battleship were bright, and from time to time there was the lewd laughter of men from the bow deck. There were also the screams of some women in the middle, and a group of disheveled people chased the women who were hiding on the deck. Some of them held a struggling woman in one hand, and then burrowed into the shadows.

It didn't take long for the women and men on the deck to disappear, replaced by the sound of whoops everywhere.

Next to the two fat men were four Japanese women, and four groping pig hands roamed around the woman's graceful body. The Yiren man on the left is Cook, the commander of the Yiren coalition army, and the other Yiren man next to him is the deputy commander Dale.

The eyes of the two did not stay on the woman beside them, but stared directly in front of them. In front of them stood three Wako, the first of whom was a young man in his twenties, the son of the Emperor of Wakoku. Murata Ichiro would be a well-deserved prince in the Ming Dynasty, but his face was full of unwillingness at the moment, and there seemed to be something unfair in his heart.

Cook laughed grimly: "Murata Ichiro, you can't get used to what we do? ”

Ichiro Murata's fists were clenched, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face, he slowly shook his head and said, "Ichiro doesn't dare, Cook is too worried." ”

Cook laughed: "You don't dare, your father sent you here just to make you a hostage." Now we're just playing with your waitress, and when we get tired of playing, we'll pay it back. ”
