Chapter 159: The Kaesong Rebellion (1)
"Boom~", with a loud bang, there were also cracks of wood and the screams of the Japanese. The last Japanese warship was sunk into the sea, and the sea was covered with broken wood and Japanese people calling for help.
"Go back!" Li Jie on the ship ordered coldly that this was the sea area between Tsushima Island and Kyushu Island. There was only sea water for dozens of miles nearby. Those Japanese who fell into the water could only float to the land with a wooden board, otherwise they would all die in the sea.
"This is already the third fleet we annihilated. They are all from Kyushu Island. It seems that the daimyo behind the Japanese pirates are all on Kyushu Island." Fang Guan walked forward with a smile at this time.
During this period, Li Jie and his fleet had been patrolling nearby. Whenever they found that a fleet of Japanese people came, they would launch an attack immediately. They didn't even put down the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, they were just trying to eliminate the Japanese pirates, and all the Japanese at sea were regarded as Japanese pirates by them.
"It seems that there are only three main names on Kyushu Island. These three fleets happened to be sent by them. Now that they have been annihilated, it should be impossible to send people in a short period of time!" Li Jie had deliberately observed the banner of these Japanese warships before. Although he did not understand Japanese language, he could also see that these three parties came from different forces.
The fleet returned to the voyage and soon arrived at Tsushima Island. On the coast of the island, Zhang Dingbian, Zou Pusheng and others were also driving small boats to practice. Some of these ships were left by Japanese pirates, and some were given to them by merchants. Although they looked a little messy, it was enough for Zhang Dingbian and others.
"According to their training speed, when will we be able to kill to Kyushu Island?" Li Jie asked Fang Guan again.
"It will take about ten days. These people lived overseas with Zou Pusheng and others. Their ability to run boats is no worse than that of anyone. Now they just need to get familiar with the ships. In addition, we also need time to sort out the situation about Jiuzhou that we interrogated and find a relatively suitable place to log in." Fang Guan replied again.
After capturing Tsuma Island, all the Japanese pirates on the island were captured, especially the Zong family, who had close ties with Kyushu, so they could also interrogate a lot of Kyushu's situation, and now this information is being sorted out.
"Very good. Then you will escort them for the last time. After they gain a foothold in Kyushu Island, you will return to Jeju Island to station. There is only a small fleet of guards here on Tsuma Island!" Li Jie also ordered again that as long as Zhang Dingbian and others successfully attack Kyushu Island, his main task will be completed.
However, in addition to the main mission of Japan, there is also the mission of Goryeo. They have not been able to defeat Tsushima Island for a long time, but there has been no movement in Goryeo. Zhu Di has already returned to Jeju Island to wait. If there is no news again, with Zhu Di's violent temper, he might have to settle the score with Li Jie.
It was a coincidence that Li Jie was just thinking about Goryeo when he saw a fast ship coming from a distance. It seemed that the style was the special use of the Ming Navy. After the ship was connected to Li Jie's flagship, someone immediately climbed onto the deck along the rope ladder and handed a sealed letter to Li Jie.
Li Jie opened it with her own hands, and when she saw the content on the letter, she slapped her thighs excitedly. The letter was written to him by Zhu Di. The letter said that Jiang Yan had already heard news that Li Chenggui and his son had finally decided to attack Zheng Mengzhou. Now Zhu Di has ordered a large army and rushed to the sea outside Jianghua Island on naval warships, ready to arrive at Kaicheng at any time. Although he was under the banner of supporting Li Chenggui, he was actually looking for an opportunity to stab Li Chenggui in the back.
"General Fang, we will postpone the attack on Jiuzhou Island, and we will rush to Jianghua Island immediately!" Li Jie immediately ordered that it is okay to attack Jiuzhou Island at any time, but the civil strife in Goryeo is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He cannot miss this opportunity no matter what.
"The last one will obey the order!" Fang Guan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He also knew about Li Jie's plan for Goryeo, so when he heard that Li Jie was going to lead his troops to Jianghua Island, he immediately realized that something was going to happen within Goryeo.
At this moment, Li Jie simply arranged Tsuma Island and left some ships to assist Zhang Dingbian and others in the training. All the remaining warships rushed to Jianghua Island. In fact, Li Jie was just in case. If Zhu Di really failed the plan, he would have to rely on their naval navy to enter Goryeo to save his life.
At the same time, Zhu Di was so energetic that he went out to sea again. They were not far from Jianghua Island. According to the date agreed with Li Chenggui and them, in just five days, Li Chenggui would launch a coup, kill his mortal enemy and usurp the throne.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help feeling excited. It seemed that it was not just because of Li Jie's plan, but because of Li Chenggui's usurpation of the throne that made him feel a special sense of intimacy, as if he had a similar desire deep in his heart. However, when he thought of his father and eldest brother, Zhu Di immediately felt like he was thrown into a basin of cold water and suddenly woke up.
"Your Highness, aren't you curious about the real reason why Li Jie made so many arrangements? I dare to assert that there must be something behind this that we don't know!" Yao Guangxiao walked to Zhu Di at some point and whispered. He has not given up on guessing Li Jie's intention, but no matter how he thinks, he can't figure out the reason.
"Master, Li Jie is very strict. He will definitely say what he should say. He shouldn't say it. He won't even reveal a word, so don't guess it randomly!" Zhu Di also said helplessly. In order to guess the motive behind Li Jie these days, Yao Guangxiao almost had to discuss it with him when he met. At first, he was very interested, but now he has completely given up and is even afraid of listening to Yao Guangxiao ask him this question again.
"I'm not guessing randomly, I just want to figure out the reason behind this. Li Jie is so young, so it shouldn't be difficult to guess, but why can't I see through his thoughts?" Yao Guangxiao whispered again. He was almost crazy about this matter, and it might even become a knot in his heart.
"Master, don't worry about the reason behind this. As long as we defeat Goryeo, I believe my father will tell me, so don't think about anything now, and you'll do your best to help me win Goryeo!" Zhu Di suddenly said with an inspiration. Even if Li Jie and the others defeat Goryeo had a reason, as long as he guarded Goryeo, this reason would definitely not be avoided.
I have to say that Zhu Di also reminded Yao Guangxiao at once. He had already gotten into a stubborn position and didn't think about this at all. Now that he woke up, he immediately nodded and said, "What Your Highness said is that Li Chenggui fell into Li Bandu's plan and launched a coup in a hasty way. Now he asked the imperial army to enter Kaicheng. In my opinion, Your Highness should not expose his identity, otherwise, if you, a prince, lead the army to Goryeo, will arouse suspicion!"
