Ghost Qianqiu left Quanzhou in a hurry and went to Linyi by boat. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he was anxious to solve the matter on Lin Yiguo's side, and then prepared properly and devoted himself to the journey of "exploration and discovery" to open his eyes to the world.

Xia Hongsheng stayed in Quanzhou, preparing to transfer an ironclad ship from the Ryukyu Naval Division from Dongying Road to settle the Linyi Kingdom.

The country of Linyi is long and narrow, and it is all coastal. In the past, Qiongzhou could be reached in a few days to the southwest. The ironclad ships set up artillery to bombard along the coastline, and if it took more than a month to take Linyi Kingdom, Xia Hongsheng would swear to read his name backwards in the future!

"Brother Sheng, a ship?" Li Chengqian's eyes widened, he looked at Xia Hongsheng incredulously, and asked, "Can it be done?!" ”

"Why can't it be?" Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "To destroy the Wa Kingdom, this son only used twelve ships." In just a forest country, an ironclad ship is enough. It's still my son's time, otherwise, it will be enough to send a few special operations teams. Besides, this time it's you, if you destroy the Linyi Kingdom, you still need to go to great lengths to make a big move, what does your father think of you? What do the courtiers think of you? An ironclad ship, as long as you don't command blindly, it is not difficult to defeat Mahamandaga. In this way, when it was transmitted back to the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince destroyed the Linyi Kingdom with only one ironclad ship, seized the land of Zhancheng rice seeds for the Tang Dynasty, and opened the door for the Tang Dynasty to reach out to a large piece of land in the southwest of Linyi. You are bound to be unrivaled in your reputation among the courtiers, and in the eyes of Your Majesty, you will also feel that you have the ability to pioneer. ”

"That's good!" Li Chengqian was quite moved by Xia Hongsheng's words, nodded, and said: "Brother Sheng, you give me another idea, so that I have a better chance of winning!" ”

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head and said to Li Chengqian: "Then what other ideas can you come up with?" You go back to Ryukyu and get ready, as soon as the ironclad ship returns, it will be immediately replenished with ammunition and gasoline, and as soon as the city is broken and Fan Touli is dead, you will immediately sail to Linyi. Mahamandhaga conspired to seize the throne alone, and he must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and he will not leave the heirs of the Fan family. You pretend not to know that Fan Touli is dead. When I arrived at Linyi, I naturally took a position first. It is said that Mahamandaka alone committed a crime, did not keep the courtesy of a minister, and usurped the throne, and his crime should be punished. As the country of the suzerain, as soon as Datang received Fan Touli's request for help, he immediately set off, hurrying slowly, but he didn't expect to be a step late. Then it is to crusade against Mahaman Dogadu, to avenge the Fan family, and to take the righteousness of the whole suzerain. Datang's attitude must be tough, no matter what conditions Mahaman Doga puts forward, he will not agree, that is, he will be killed. The most powerful thing in Lin Yi was the elephant soldiers, but as soon as the cannon bombarded them, those elephants were frightened and went crazy, but they were afraid that they would rush into their own army. Mahaman Dogadu's army had just ended the war with Fan Touli, and how long could it hold out under the artillery of the Tang Dynasty? Once Mahamandagada was condemned, the Fan family had no heirs. Linyi country, Han Xianglin County, Sui Linyi County, all of old China. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the war was chaotic, and the former Sui Dynasty was restored to Linyi County. The Tang Dynasty was established, and the Emperor Taishang read Fan's obedience, and he was crowned as the king and occupied the city. Now that it is destroyed, the geography of its canonization shall be returned to the imperial court. Then transfer the troops of the state to be stationed in Linyi, and you will write to Your Majesty, please follow the policy of Dongying, place Linyi Road, divide the state and county, and select officials to take up their posts. ”

"This ...... After defeating Mahamandaga, after all, there was only one ironclad ship, and after going ashore, there were only a few hundred people. If the people of Linyi Kingdom are unwilling to return to the Tang Dynasty, and then cooperate to besiege the Tang Dynasty soldiers, then with the number of these hundreds of people, how can the people of Linyi Kingdom be respected? Li Chengqian asked.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Not to mention that most of the people in Linyi Kingdom still drink blood, regardless of physique or weaponry, they are too far behind the Tang Dynasty soldiers. Just after the artillery bombardment, the people of Lin Yi Kingdom may have regarded the Tang Dynasty soldiers as heavenly soldiers and generals who can release heavenly thunder, and they are angry, where do they dare to disobey? When the time comes, remove the artillery from the ironclad ships, take the ammunition, gasoline, and medicine packets, and enter the city. If there are really people from the Linyi Kingdom who gather crowds to rebel and rely on the city, these things are enough to defend. Zhancheng is the capital of the country, there will be more grain and grass in the city, and Zhancheng is not far from Jiaozhou, which is enough for you to hold on to Jiaozhou's soldiers and horses to arrive. ”

"Good!" Li Chengqian's eyes showed excitement and anticipation, and while rubbing his hands, he said to Xia Hongsheng: "Brother Sheng, don't worry, Lin Yiguo is wrapped up in the little brother, and he will never embarrass Brother Sheng!" ”

"What are you calling me embarrassed?! You earned it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "The war of the Japanese Kingdom is only one of my contributions. The matter of Lin Yiguo, at best, I have a rough idea, and the details are all about you and the old ghost in the Ryukyus, and you don't do the business of your son. ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Chengqian was immediately moved, took a step back, arched his hand, bent down and saluted, and said, "Brother Sheng!" Brother Sheng'er's guidance will never be forgotten! ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went over and pulled him up: "Don't treat me as a brother, do you?" You are the crown prince, I dare to be so presumptuous to you all day long, why? Just because I treat you as a brother and a friend, I don't need to be polite. Don't be so outrageous. ”

"No!" Li Chengqian shook his head: "Brother Sheng, I won't tell you, I didn't have any friends before." Because of my identity, everyone avoids or fears it, and they don't know how to really have fellowship with me. Only Brother Sheng'er, let me feel the kind of friendship that can be done without scruples about identity and status, and completely intersect as a human being, rather than as a prince. That's all I have to thank Brother Sheng. ”

"Don't say it, blame the poor one." Xia Hongsheng patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said, "In the future, follow my son to eat and drink spicy food, and let's be a big man on the streets of Chang'an!" Wowha......"

Belch...... Li Chengqian opened his mouth, shook his head helplessly and laughed.

"Haha, okay, okay, no kidding." Xia Hongsheng smiled again and said, "If you go, although I won't follow you to Linyi Kingdom, I will also be in Quanzhou." While dealing with some maritime affairs, I am waiting for you to triumph. If you have any problems, let the doves spread to me. The flying pigeons from Linyi have been passed back to Ryukyu, but in a few days, I will do my best to help you with advice. You've been in the Ryukyus army for almost two years, and you've learned a lot, but this is the first time you've personally commanded a battle, so be sure to listen to your adjutant general's advice. The first time he commanded the war, he sought stability rather than speed. Where there is life, there is hope. Your safety comes first, remember? ”

"Thank you for your teachings!" Li Chengqian nodded and said gratefully: "Chengqian has written it down!" (To be continued.) )
