The urgent report of the Jeju Island tragedy was forwarded to the Andong Metropolitan Government through Jinban County, and it was already the morning of the next day.

At that time, Wang Lun, accompanied by the new soldier Cao Shenjun of the Metropolitan Protectorate, inspected the Third Army of the Liangshan Infantry Army, which was named after "Seoul". After suddenly receiving the news of the surprise attack on Jeju Island by the Japanese Kingdom, he dropped his cup on the spot, and the inspection was interrupted. It didn't take long for several important strategists of the Yangsan Group in Seoul to receive orders to go to the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Metropolitan Protectorate to discuss matters.

"Wen Duhu, what's so urgent?" It was the first time that Wu Yong had the privilege of attending such a major internal meeting, and he was so excited that he didn't know whether to step on his left foot or his right foot first. He didn't have much friendship with others, but fortunately, Wen Huanzhang was generous, and he stepped forward to talk with a shy face.

Seeing that it was Wu Yong who came up, the solemn expression on Wen Huanzhang's face was slightly relieved, and he squeezed out a smile, and said, "Jialiang, this time the negotiations with the imperial court are good!" If it weren't for you, I would have temporarily asked the old man to catch the ducks on the shelves, but I am afraid that it would not be able to achieve the effect you created! ”

Wu Yong knew that with Wen Huanzhang's current identity, what he said could basically represent the official opinion of Liangshan. Even he said that he did a good job, which shows that his performance in the previous paragraph was basically recognized by high-level figures. At the moment, he was simply overjoyed, and he said modestly:

"This is all the credit of my brother and Wen Duhu, who made the faint monarch turn around. The students are ashamed to say that they are just talking about it! ”

"Don't be arrogant, your merits, the lord sees it, continue to maintain it, and make persistent efforts!" Wen Huanzhang patted Wu Yong on the shoulder, and when his gaze left Wu Yong, his face turned back to a solemn demeanor.

Wu Yong is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he saw that Huanzhang was obviously preoccupied, he could still talk to himself with Yan Yuese, and he was inexplicably moved. At that moment, I couldn't help asking, "Duhu, is there something wrong?" Did the Jurchens send troops? ”

Wen Huanzhang glanced at Wu Yong meaningfully, he knew that Wang Lun meant to ask Wu Yong to come over to listen today, and it was definitely not all for reward. After thinking about it for a while, I didn't hide it from him, so I picked up the important things about the war that happened on Jeju Island last night.

Wu Yong was surprised at first. Then gradually fell silent, and did not express his opinions impatiently, but the two chief officials on Jeju Island, Yiwen and Wu, had a lot to do with him, Xiao Rang let him come to the road of the green forest, and Zhu Tong was a villager in the village, and Wu Yong was really reluctant to comment on their affairs in front of others. However, when he suddenly heard that the Wang Mata clan had died at the hands of the Japanese people, his first reaction was to clap his hands and exclaim: "Great! Since then, Goryeo will never be in trouble! ”

Wu used such an unusual move. Immediately attracted the attention of the low-voiced Qiu Wei and Lu Jiang, Wu Yong did not hide his emotions, and continued: "This is God who also wants to protect me Liangshan and the country forever!" ”

Qiu Yi and Lu Jiang are both traditional scholars, who believe in "neighbors are mourning, and they are not along." There is a funeral in it, and there is no alley song", and the senses of Wu on the spot are not very good. But at best, he can be regarded as a matter of facts, and the two just look at each other and shake their heads at this time. Didn't pay any attention to him. Who knew that Wu used the next sentence, which made the two of them unbearable anymore.

"Smell and protect. Is Gao Rulin's family still alive in Tamluo County? Wu Yong seemed to be caught in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't care about the faces of the people present.

"Wu Xue, you're enough!" Qiu Yi took the case and said: "Gao Zhenqian is the Tamluo County Commander appointed by the Metropolitan Protectorate, and he himself is a registered disciple of the lord, why do you criticize the life and death of others?" If the words in your mouth spread today, wouldn't it force the two fathers and sons of the Gao family to deviate from morality?! ”

"The two fathers and sons of the Gao family?" Wu Yong keenly grasped the information contained in the words of hatred, and said happily: "What about Gao Zhen? This son-in-law of Wang Mata is also dead?! Wonderful! ”

Qiu Wei didn't expect Wu Yong to get what he wanted from his words so quickly. For a while, they were angry and surprised, but Wen Huanzhang and Lu Jiang looked at Wu Yong intriguingly, but they were silent. Wu Yong probed everyone's reaction, and suddenly smiled: "You are all good ministers and act uprightly. The little brother is so careful, naturally he doesn't enter the hall of elegance, and I invite you Haihan, just treat the little brother as if he didn't say anything! ”

It is said that reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the White Tiger Hall is calm, and it is slightly different from Wen Huanzhang and Qiu Wei's thoughts, but Lu Jiang said silently in his heart: "I'm not afraid that you have Jia Xu's poison, I'm afraid that you don't have Jia Xu's wisdom!" ”

The four of them sat quietly for a long time, and suddenly heard movement outside the festival hall, only to hear Wang Lun's angry voice coming from outside the festival hall: "What are the two battalions of water troops on Jeju Island doing!" It is not only a dereliction of duty, but a crime to ask four or five thousand Japanese to come to the island without knowing anything! Crimes against hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the island! ”

Few people in the festival hall saw Wang Lun angry, and at this time, led by Wen Huanzhang, the four of them hurriedly came out of the hall, and they all persuaded "The lord is angry!" At this moment, Yan Qing and Shi Wengong, who were with Wang Lun, breathed a sigh of relief, they had a personal experience, and the owner of the village, who usually laughed, lost his temper and shook the mountain.

"Mr. Wen, later in your name you sent a message to Jeju Island, Xiao Rang and Zhu Tong, as the guards and the prisoners of soldiers and horses, were paralyzed and careless in defending the land, and they actually caused the Japanese to sneak attack on the island, killing more than 3,000 of our soldiers and civilians, and countless other wounded, which is really an unforgivable crime! The two of them are now relieved of all their duties and sent to the Seoul Mansion to wait for the division to be released! ”

The dismissal of his post and the punishment of the guilty body was the most severe punishment given to the leader since Liang Shanbo opened the mountain, and everyone present couldn't help but show surprise. Only Wen Huanzhang sighed secretly, and said in his heart that these two have really lived in peace for too long, and they are simply paralyzed to the home. Thinking that this Jeju Island is lonely on the sea, it stands to reason that there should be no threat, but Wang Lun has always insisted on garrisoning 6,000 troops, and there are three commanders of the cavalry alone. Could it be to prevent the people?! It's a pity that Xiao Rang, a civil official from Liangshan's lineage, originally had a great future, but now he has added this disgraceful experience to his career, and if he wants to wash it off in the future, he doesn't know how much he will have to pay.

Just when everyone felt sorry for Xiao Rang and Zhu Tong, Duduwu suddenly jumped in his heart: "Calling me here, won't you want me to replace Xiao Rang, the unlucky bastard?" It's just that I'm so entangled that I can't do it: "I'm good at finding people, but where can I do civil affairs?" Why don't you go to war against the Japanese, and no one will listen to me when the time comes?! ”

It turns out that Wu Yong is thinking a little too much. At this time, Wang Lun had already looked for a candidate, "Summoning Zu Shiyuan, he will take over as the Taishou of Jeju Island from now on." When I received the order, I immediately rushed to Jeju Island to take up a job! When Wang Lun said this, he paused, and turned his gaze to Shi Wengong, who was on the outermost side of the crowd:

"Wen Gong, I originally asked you to assemble a team, and I was going north to support Xiao Duhu. Who knew that there was such a thing happening on Jeju Island right now. Come to think of it, I still think it's right for you to go! At the moment, we still don't know what the intentions of the Wa Kingdom are, you go over first, and together with the two naval armies of Hu Yanqing and Zhang Shun, give me the island to stabilize first! ”

The significance of Jeju Island to Yangsanbo, how unclear is Shi Wengong, seeing that Wang Lun handed it over to himself to guard, how much trust is this? He immediately patted his chest and said, "If you call the Japanese people, no, if the Japanese invade again, they will be made to have no return!" "It's still Wang Lun's vivid and apt name for the Japanese people. Shi Wengong instantly learned and put it into use.

"Good! Then I'll take it seriously! You pack up, take your subordinates to Renxian Pier first, and then I will send a doctor to meet you, and you can go directly when everyone is ready! There are only a few thousand garrisons on the island now, and the Japanese robbers ran a lot last night, whether they will come back to retaliate, I don't know the bottom of my heart! Wang Lun patted Shi Wengong's shoulder and lightly touched it a few times. In Shi Wengong's view, it is like a thousand catties. After all. After experiencing so many things, a tacit understanding has already been established between the two.

"Don't worry! The last general will not dare to have a burden! Shi Wengong, who was ordered to retreat, hugged his fists and retreated, Wang Lun was a little more angry at this time, looking at the departing Shi Wengong, Wang Lun was distracted for a moment, and there was only one sentence in his mind: "You have successfully attracted my attention!" ”

Wang Lun stood proudly in front of the White Tiger Festival Hall. But no one dared to urge, and in the end, he restrained his thoughts, and everyone followed him into the White Tiger Festival Hall. After everyone sat down, Wang Lun asked Yan Qing to start reporting the latest information on Jeju Island.

"According to the comprehensive intelligence known so far, there are more than 200 large and small ships carrying nearly 5,000 people. At the second watch last night, I landed on the island from the south of the island. After the bloodbath of our manor where Wang Mata was placed, it seemed that he had obtained the information on the island, so he no longer fell in love with the war, and the soldiers divided into two roads and marched directly to the two county towns of Xu City and Tamna, and did not rob the village or leak the news along the way. Fortunately, Lei Heng, the garrison of the racecourse, accidentally broke through the conspiracy of the pirates on the west side, and immediately used the carrier pigeons in the manor to warn Zhu Dujian in Xushi City, but because the sergeant in charge of the carrier pigeons in the city neglected his duties, he wasted this hard-won warning time......"

"When the Japanese brigade approached the city, the defenders realized that the two sides were in a scuffle, but fortunately Lei Heng led the two battalions of cavalry stationed in the horse farm to help overnight, and finally repelled the attack of the Japanese invaders! In addition, dozens of ships were scattered by the sea breeze, landed at different places, and when they were plundering the village, they were killed by the people who rushed to hear the news! ”

When Yan Qing made a statement, she tried not to be emotional, but the audience still changed color, and the enemy's large army was only discovered by the defenders on duty at night when he was in the city, it must have been more than just a melee, it must have suffered a loss. At this time, Wu Yongchai asked: "The guards guarding Wang Mata Manor, did they release carrier pigeons before?" ”

Yan Qing nodded and said, "Let it go, but like the carrier pigeon guarded by Lei, no one received the letter that night!" ”

"Zhu Dujian is confused!" Qiu Xi, who served on Jeju Island, lamented, "Although there are not many places on the island where carrier pigeons are used, how can you not send people to work day and night?" Alas! ”

Wu Yongjian said, thinking in his stomach: "He is clearly 'kind' and considerate of the soldiers!" Now, poke out such a big basket! ”

Yan Qing also sighed, and said: "Because the Gao County Commander of Tamluo County got the news, he organized two battalions of infantry troops stationed in the city and the Tamluo people to guard the city overnight, and sent people to contact the garrison cavalry battalion stationed not far from the county seat for training. When the would-be Woko turned to attack the village, he handed over the city to the Han people in the city to be guarded by the Zhuanghe clan, and took the initiative to lead his troops out of the city to rescue, although in the end the two battalions of defenders stationed in Tamna suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, the Wako were finally driven into the sea! However, that night, Gao County's younger brother and sister-in-law were on the village of the old father-in-law Wang Yu, and they did not escape this military disaster! ”

In the process of Yan Qing's restoration of the situation, the names of Lei Heng and Gao Zhenqian became a rare highlight in the battle last night, and Wang Lun fully affirmed the practices of these two people, especially Lei Heng.

"Although we have captured hundreds of Japanese prisoners, due to the language barrier and the refusal of the captives to cooperate, we can't get more useful information for the time being, and the things on Jeju Island are probably like this!"

This is the highest meeting place of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and any decision made is related to the well-being of millions of people, and affects the situation of the entire peninsula, Yan Qing finished reporting the information he currently knows, and then he stopped speaking, if it wasn't for Wang Lun to keep him, the quite intelligent little Yi brother would take the initiative to avoid suspicion.

Although Yan Qing couldn't come up with more specific information, the people who could enter this circle to discuss matters were all wise people who knew everything about it, and they were all expressing their judgments on the known situation at the moment.

"My lord, when my younger brother was in Lintun County, I also heard the natives talk about the affairs of this Japanese country. I always feel that it is a bit strange that they are sneaking up on us at this juncture! Lu will be known for his outstanding strategic vision, and at the moment his brows are tightened, wrinkled, and he considered word by word:

"We all thought that the man was just colluding with the Jurchens and ignoring other aspects. Could it be that these widows are also here because of this!? (To be continued......)
