Chapter 990: Lord Governor Arrives at Busan Port
Today's second update is delivered!
Every new soldier of the Tiger Ben Army will be vividly described by the veterans with a story, that is, how their Governor was magical back then, how he used a bamboo spear to stab the sea fish. Over time, fishing in the sea has become a traditional training program for the soldiers of the Tiger Army. As long as there is an opportunity, it is necessary to touch a few fish to improve life.
In addition to the intense training, being able to catch fish is also a relaxing activity. It would be even better if it was caught. At that time, the ròu class was still relatively rare. Because there is not enough food, naturally there will not be too much food to raise poultry and livestock. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to eat ròu. There is only fish, which is grown and sold in the sea, and does not cost anything. As long as you can catch it, you can improve your life.
"This way!"
"This way!"
"This way!"
Several soldiers, jumping quickly in the sea, chased the panicked yellow croaker. It's just a pity that their ability to catch fish is indeed not hot enough. Those big yellow croakers, desperately fleeing to the open sea, soon disappeared.
"Alas! If only the Governor were here! ”
"Yes! If the Governor is here, we can eat ròu! ”
"Hey! You say, is Lord Dudu's ability to stab fish really that magical? ”
A group of soldiers, gathered together, talked a lot. Most people are actually skeptical about Zhang Zhun's stinging skills. No way, it's a little bit amazing. The movements of those big yellow croakers just now were so sensitive, how could Zhang Zhun be able to stab them accurately? Even if it's Zhang Lingyun, there's no way to do it!
"There's a ship coming!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone looked back, and sure enough, outside the port, several large ships appeared in their sight. These large ships were not the warships of the Tiger Army Navy that they were familiar with. However, judging by the red flag hoisted on the mast, it should be a ship of the Tiger Army Navy.
"It looks like the Governor's ship."
There are soldiers' eyes, quite sharp, and they actually recognize Zhang Zhun's general flag.
At that time, the troops in the East, marching and fighting, all had general flags. The so-called general flag is to write the surname of the general on the top of the pennant. It is estimated that anyone who has played "Three Kingdoms" knows it. Each general officer of the Ming army, or the deputy general of the army, the general of the staff and the general above the guerrilla level, had his own general flag to show his distinction. When a large number of troops gathered, the different flags of the generals reflected each other, which was quite spectacular.
But here in the Tiger Ben Army, there is only one general flag, and that is Zhang Zhun's general flag. A yellow sè pennant with red sè borders, with a big "Zhang" character written on it, this is Zhang Zhun's general flag. When there is no need to hide his identity, Zhang Zhun will put on his own flag. When confidentiality is required, the flag will be hidden.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the top of these big ships. As the distance approached, Zhang Zhun's general flag became more and more eye-catching. Obviously, it was indeed Zhang Zhun who came in person. This made many soldiers can't help but think about it, guessing what Zhang Zhun is going to do when he arrives. Everyone knows that Zhang Zhun must have something important when he came to Busan Port at this time. Perhaps an attack on Japan will be launched.
"My lord, it's in full swing here!"
Wang Shide stood behind Zhang Zhun and said with a smile.
The big boat that the soldiers saw was indeed Zhang Zhun's temporary car. In the early days of March, the Japanese army did not continue to attack Sado Island, and it was speculated that the Tokugawa shogunate should be planning a larger operation with the Dutch. Sado Island, for the time being, is safe. Therefore, Jang Joon left Sado Island and returned to the port of Busan.
The location of the port of Busan, just halfway between Shandong and the Japanese mainland, is conducive to overall coordination and command. At the same time, it is also the camp of the First Expeditionary Regiment of the Tiger Army. The base camp of the Tiger Army's landing operation against Japan was in the port of Busan. The three major fleets of the Tiger Warrior Navy also often haunt the port of Busan.
Due to the limitations of the times, Lu Xiangsheng was obviously unable to organize such a large-scale landing operation. Neither of his knowledge nor experience is up to the task. Therefore, Zhang Zhun had to be stationed here and personally arrange all matters for the landing operation. It was only after the successful landing, when the battle developed into a purely land operation, that Lu Xiangsheng had the opportunity to take over the command.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
At the wharf of Busan Port, Lu Xiangsheng, Li Jue and others were all welcoming Zhang Zhun's arrival. Behind them, the commanders of the battalions of the Tiger Ben Army were also all present. Only the command of the Mongol cavalry, Hasqiqige, left the barracks for something and did not show up.
"Hello everyone!"
Zhang Zhun said with a trembling expression.
While greeting each other, Zhang Zhun paid close attention to everyone's faces. The news about the Dutch battlefield in Japan has always been kept strictly secret by the Tiger Army, so Lu Xiangsheng and others do not know about this news for the time being. I don't know, what kind of reaction will they have when they learn the news for a while?
"Hello Lord Governor!"
Zhang Lingyun and the others shouted loudly.
Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Lingyun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's tanned!" ”
Zhang Lingyun smiled innocently and did not speak.
Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at the other officer beside him, and said with a smile: "Wu Ranjiang, our great talent, fortunately, he didn't get a tan." ”
A shy officer in front of him smiled even more shyly.
This officer named Wu Ranjiang is a serious talent. He turned out to be a Xiucai in Dengzhou Mansion, and when the Tartars arrived, everyone in his family was killed, and in a fit of anger, he threw his pen and became a member of the Tiger Army. People with knowledge always have more opportunities to get ahead. After a period of training, he was already the commander of the yùzi battalion.
The so-called Xiucai encounters soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say. However, this Wu Ranjiang broke this rule. He, the commander of the yùzi battalion, came back from a real competition. Don't look at his crepe, when he killed the Tartars, he never flinched.
Zhang Zhun looked at the other officer again, and said with a smile: "Li Tugen, how is Shui Xìng?" Are you still afraid of water? If you're afraid of water, you can't! ”
This officer named Li Tugen, who is just the opposite of Wu Ranjiang, is a typical old peasant. He turned out to be a military household of Aoshanwei, and when Zhang Zhun led the army into Aoshanwei, he joined the Tiger Ben Army. His position has been slowly accumulated along the way. In the army, he is an old scalper, a hard-working type.
However, this Li Tugen has a big shortcoming, that is, he is afraid of water. It is said that he is short of soil in the five elements, and there is a soil character in his name. He has been afraid of water since Xiǎo, and when he grows up, he is still afraid of water. When leading troops to fight, they are also a little afraid of water. Because of his strange máo disease, Zhang Zhun also paid special attention to him.
However, when they landed in Japan this time, the first thing the officers and men of Huben should do was to familiarize themselves with the water. Otherwise, once you fall into the water, there is no possibility of survival. No one can guarantee that he Li Tugen will not have a chance to fall into the water. Therefore, the basic water xìng, is necessary to be familiar.
Hearing this, Li Tugen hurriedly said, "Almost, almost." ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good!" ”
While talking, the group came to Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army tent and sat down separately.
Everyone knows that Zhang Zhun must have something important to do when he came to Busan Port this time, so after sitting down, everyone's expressions looked a little serious.
"Everyone is here."
Lu Xiangsheng said cautiously.
"Okay."
Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly.
After glancing at all the officers, Zhang Zhun stood up, looked solemn, and said slowly: "First of all, I want to tell you bad news. ”
The officers present, Jīng Shen, suddenly became nervous.
Bad news?
What kind of bad news?
Zhang Zhun nodded and said word by word: "It's indeed bad news." The Dutch chā hand on the Japanese battlefield. The Dutch fleet had sailed into Hiroshima, Japan. There is definite information that some kind of agreement has been reached between the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan and the Dutch. The Dutch will send warships to help the Japanese. ”
The officers below, suddenly you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and don't say a word. Obviously, the news that Zhang Zhun told them was indeed a bit surprising. In their thinking, it will take a while to fully digest the impact of this bad news.
Dutch?
How is it Dutch again?
The sea power of the Dutch is indeed quite strong, and if the Dutch were to control the Japanese battlefield, the landing operation of the Tiger Army would definitely be affected. It is estimated that this is an important reason why Jang Joon came to Busan Port.
Zhang Zhun glanced at all the officers, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said meaningfully: "What? Scared? ”
Zhang Lingyun said without thinking: "Don't be afraid! What is there to be afraid of! ”
Li Tugen and the others also shouted, "Don't be afraid! What's so scary! ”
Only Wu Ranjiang and Lu Xiangsheng did not make a sound. They belong to the Li xìng school and prefer to look at problems from the angle of Li xìng. They certainly would not be afraid of the Dutch intervention. They must admit, however, that if the Dutch intervene in the matter, the consequences would be severe.
The Dutch chā hand-held the Japanese battlefield, which would indeed bring great difficulties to the landing operations of the Tiger Ben army. To put it mildly, if you encounter a Dutch warship during the landing, you will not have a chance to go ashore at all, and you will be pushed into the sea.
Of course, since the Governor has mentioned this matter here, I believe that the Governor must have a plan to deal with it. So far, the Tiger Ben Army has not suffered a big loss. Even if the Dutch intervene, it is estimated that the war situation in Japan will not be greatly affected.
