Just after Li Wenzhong led the 20,000 guards soldiers to return for training for two days, our King of Liao set up a celebration banquet in Peking.

The celebration banquet was very large. In addition to eating and drinking, His Highness the King of Liao also made a fireworks show for the people of Peking City.

This fireworks performance is not new. In the past, when the Yuan Dynasty ruled, there were often banquets and performances, but they were not specially prepared for the people, but for the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, this thing cannot be placed indoors, it is all outdoors, so the people can naturally see it.

The fireworks are fireworks, and the people are more concerned about the reason for the celebration banquet. Some people said that General Li Wenzhong was ordered to go out to fight, but in one battle he defeated the enemy, beheaded 20,000 and captured countless people!

Good guy, this is a great victory! Needless to say, pass it on quickly!

Of course, this is just a rumor. The people don’t know what exactly it is. But the Ming army has indeed won more than lose less in recent years. They chased the Beiyuan and pressed the hammer. Looking at the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun that have been lost for hundreds of years, aren’t they all taken back by the Ming Dynasty?

This rumor is very clear and clear, and there is indeed a celebration banquet in Peking City. This news is inevitably noticed by some people with ulterior motives.

However, the official did not confirm the matter, nor did it deny it. Moreover, the army did leave the city before, but it was back soon. Could it be that... Li Wenzhong has really won again?!

Needless to say, such a big news was delivered out of the city soon and it was placed on the table of Naha's release within two days.

When Naha heard the news, he was also confused. After knowing the movements of the Ming army, he ordered the line of defense to shrink, but unexpectedly something happened. Which general's army had happened and did not withdraw in time?

But after thinking about it carefully, it is wrong. Even if Li Wenzhong, who is hundreds of miles away from Shenzhou, is he, traveling 200 miles a day, and bringing his army to capture him?

Besides, no unit has encountered any attack from the Ming army!

What's going on?

Nahachu was still thinking about what happened in Shenzhou. I am afraid it will take some time to react slightly. The leaders of the tribes outside the Great Wall naturally knew about this. Of course, they were like Nahachu. They heard from the news that His Highness the King of Liao had never said it explicitly.

But I have to say that at least in private, this incident was given a dose of stimulant to their tribe people, and it became more energetic to fight Naha.

However, the advantage is only in one or two days. Naha Chu finally reacted quickly. Killing 20,000 enemies and capturing countless enemies is simply nonsense. I am afraid it is fake news from rumors!

After reacting, Nahachu was angry and embarrassed. He just turned his back when he heard that the army was coming. Then he heard that the army was victorious. He was so scared that he tried hard to find out where he was attacked by the Ming army. Isn’t this clearly telling others that he was afraid of the Ming army?

Naha was so angry that he ordered the army to continue attacking immediately, saying that he would annex these tribes no matter what, so that he could tell others that Naha was not a vegetarian!

Come, lead me to the horse!

But Nahachu was just thinking about this when he heard someone come over and say:

"On the Ming army, General Li Wenzhong led another 30,000 troops toward Shanhaiguan..."

Naha's tough front foot was strong, and when he saw the war horse he led out, he silently sent it back to feed it. Then he made another normal operation and immediately ordered a temporary defense to shrink. At the same time, he reported the situation to Wang Baobao and asked for reinforcements...

———————

Li Wenzhong is now impressed by His Highness the King of Liao. Not to mention anything else, this move of attacking the east and west is considered to be a clear play for His Highness the King of Liao.

Although His Highness of the King of Liao has always said that he would not lead troops to fight, he could have thought of this trick if he could not fight?

That Nahachu is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. You see, his highness, who is fooled by our King of Liao, is no one else.

However, Zhu Qi was not humble. The reason why his plan was successful was to put it bluntly because the Ming army's current hard power was much stronger than Naha's overall.

Although he was in a confrontation with the Northern Yuan King Baobao, if he made up his mind and sent troops to attack Naha's no matter how much he was, he would have to rush to Chenzhou, where he appeared in the stronghold of Naha, at least two or three hundred miles away.

Because of this, Zhu Qi's strategy can succeed. If you can fight Naha, are you still afraid of Naha? When you hear your Ming army attack, you might even come to you and even run to attack a city.

Therefore, such intelligence wars and exercises can only be effective when there is a gap in strength.

Of course, this is also learned from reality. You see, the United States is threatening other countries through exercises all day long. If you change to a small country, Mauritius, and try others, you are afraid that the news will be beaten up as soon as it is released.

As for how long this move can last, Zhu Qi didn't know. He just used it like that anyway. If Naha finally thought that Daming was just saying that he would not practice fake moves, and that was just a wolf, that would be even better!

After the autumn harvest, taking advantage of the time when Naha relaxed his vigilance, Li Wenzhong led a group of cavalry to attack Chenzhou. Maybe it could be a good result of the Tang Dynasty's surprise attack on the Turkic Geely Khan.

Anyway, in one sentence, as long as the Ming Dynasty puts its strength here, whether to hit it depends on my Ming Dynasty. The strategic initiative has never been here.

But no matter how scared he was, Zhu Qi naturally did not forget the specific task of coming to Peking this time. In addition to delaying time for those tribes, he also provided support materials for those tribes so that they could consume Naha's.

At the beginning, these tribes were all driven to the bottom of the Great Wall. It was nothing to give them some supplies. Even if there was any loss on the road, it was acceptable.

But when these tribes began to move, it became a bit difficult to deliver supplies. The main reason was that the supply line for transporting supplies was too long, and it was always under the threat of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

This is just like Nahachu cannot ignore the exercises of the Ming army. Naturally, the Ming side cannot underestimate the Northern Yuan forces outside the pass. Perhaps facing a head-on battle, Nahachu is not an opponent, but if he knew that there was such a supply line, he would definitely send light cavalry to harass him. At that time, it would not be these small tribes that would be funded, but Nahachu would not be the ones he would have provided.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang had a clear order, which was to clear the sea routes and open up sea transportation lines.

This is not only to restrain Nahachu, but also to prepare for the future recovery of Liaodong.

During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin fought Goguryeo. He marched on the road, and there were transport ships on the sea to transport food, grass and supplies, which were both convenient and labor-saving. The enemy could not come from the sea, so he would not be afraid of coming.

Zhu Qi remembers that in the story of the Crusade, Lionheart King Richard also protected his supply line like this. He even played the operation of the airship in "Warcraft 3" with a micro-operated wounded soldier. The injured people boarded the ship to recuperate, and got off the ship and continued to fight. There was no one else.

Zhu Yuanzhang's order to clear the sea channel was just that, so Zhu Qi naturally did not dare to ignore it.

In the past few days, in addition to drawing a picture on the map every day, asking Li Wenzhong to lead his troops to practice, or simply stop training, and directly sending out rumors that the Ming army is going to attack, he is just to pay attention to the shipbuilding situation at Dagukou Shipyard, and to understand what kind of demons and monsters are causing trouble in the Bohai Sea these days.

Liu Bowen is the one who does the intelligence collection work. In the past few days, Lao Liu has been called to Zhu Qi as a cow and horse man. On the one hand, he has to supervise the construction of a new warship, turtle ship, and on the other hand, he has to understand the situation of the power at sea.

Not long after, Liu Bowen personally delivered a detailed report.

Just like Zhu Qi predicted before, four forces are divided up on the Bohai Sea. One is the Japanese pirates, and it is also the most rampant. In history, Japanese pirates often attacked along the coast of the Liao Dynasty in the Bohai Sea during the Hongwu period.

After the Ming Dynasty completely defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to warn Japan, and Japan had officially ended its civil war at this time and entered the stable Muromachi shogunate, which is the famous Ashikagi shogunate era.

The last generation of the Ashikaga Shogunate was the Warring States Period in Japan, and it was the most famous war history in ancient Japanese history.

After being warned by Zhu Yuanzhang, the stable Japanese shogunate quickly restrained the people of his subordinates, so the Japanese turmoil that endangered the Ming Dynasty stopped for nearly a hundred years.

Of course, it is the eighth year of Hongwu and Liaodong has not yet been recovered, so the Japanese turmoil naturally has no time to deal with it.

In addition to the Japanese pirates, the second force on the Bohai Sea is Goryeo.

The navy of the Goryeo Kingdom was not like the Japanese pirates, who robbed and became pirates everywhere. However, because of the marriage relationship with the Yuan Dynasty for several generations, the current Goryeo king is still the son-in-law of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so his attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was to be hostile. It is conceivable that if the Ming Dynasty used the Bohai Sea for transportation routes, the navy of the Goryeo Kingdom would be very likely to obstruct and conflicts would be likely.

The third is that there will be a conflict, that is, the Northern Yuan navy.

Originally, Zhu Qi thought that the Northern Yuan Navy was managed by Naha, but after reading Liu Bowen's information, he realized that he was still young. The Northern Yuan Navy was not managed by Naha, but was ruled by a Han Chinese named Liu Yi.

Pingzhang means a bit like the governor of the Tang Dynasty, who wrote Pingzhang and was called a warlord.

At the beginning, Pingzhang was just a local chief, but at this age, those who could be Pingzhang in the local area were separatist forces holding military power.

Although Liu Yi was a Han Chinese, he became Pingzhang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to rule Liaoyang. His subordinates were mainly naval forces. Zhu Yuanzhang also persuaded Liu Yi to surrender many times, but this man refused many times, saying that he was loyal to the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

It’s not clear whether he was loyal to Beiyuan. Anyway, it’s definitely true that this person was against the Ming Dynasty. If you want to clear the sea route, Liu Yi’s naval force will be the first target of attack!

Moreover, on the Bohai Sea, Liu Yi's navy is also the largest. Conservatively, it is estimated that more than a hundred ships of all sizes are searched. It is not clear what the specific details are, but it is definitely the hardest to crack.

And this fourth party is a pirate who is free from all forces.

Zhu Qi's first reaction was that these pirates were the targets they could fight for. In fact, a large part of those who went out to be pirates during the Yuan Dynasty were old friends of the Song Dynasty. They were unwilling to be obedient people under the Yuan Dynasty, so they went out to be pirates.

By the way, during the Song Dynasty, it was the most stable time on the sea and the pirates could not hold their heads up.

On the one hand, it was because the Song Dynasty navy was strong, the army was submissive, and the navy was attacking hard!

On the other hand, it is attributed to the prosperous maritime trade and a prosperous economic level in the Song Dynasty.

Maritime trade is very free, there is almost no obstacle among the people, and the people along the coast are also very rich. In this case, who can do nothing to be a pirate?

After all, those who are born to like robbery and murder are a few people with abnormal brains. Anyone who has a normal brain and can make money by doing business seriously will not take risks.

So during the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people went to sea to be pirates, not necessarily bad people, but they were probably their own people!

In fact, even the Han people from the middle and late Ming Dynasty still hoped to be invited by the court. The biggest example is Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, the talented richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Before Zheng Zhilong was recruited, he was also a pirate. He mainly engaged in smuggling business and robbed foreigners. After being recruited, he devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty. His son Zheng Chenggong became a national hero, so there is no need to mention it.

Among this pirate, the strongest one is a Han man named Wang Chuanqi. The ancestor of this Wang Chuanqi is said to be Wang Jian, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Wang Jian of the Southern Song Dynasty may not know much, but when it comes to a battle, everyone must know the battle in Diaoyu City!

That's right, this famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty stationed in Diaoyu City, blocked millions of troops, and seriously injured Mongolian Khan Mengge. Mengge died not long after that.

As for whether this King Legend has really been said to have been called Wang Jian, it is unknown whether this is really true, but one thing is certain, that is, this King Legend is firmly resisting the Yuan Dynasty!

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, not to mention the national integrity of this king legend is quite admirable.

Zhu Qi just thought this way, and Liu Bowen helped Zhu Qi plan the strategic layout.

The Japanese pirates can be comforted first. After all, Goryeo has not yet confronted the Ming Dynasty head-on. Although its king's attitude is tough, he can send envoys to let him see the situation clearly. At least he has to warn and intimidate. Goryeo is now divided into two factions, mainly fighting and peace. Even if he participates in the war, he will have to argue for a lot of time and most of them will not go to this muddy water.

Pingzhang and Liu Yi of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are our current enemy. There will definitely be a battle in the future, and it will be necessary to fight, without further ado.

As for the Pirate King Legend, from all signs, this is a force that must be recruited. His warships and sailors are experienced and good at naval battles. If King Legend can be brought under his command, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort for the clearance of the sea channel this time!

Liu Bowen is best at planning the overall situation. He is planning thousands of miles away like Zhang Liang. Zhu Yuanzhang once said, "Liu Bowen is really my son's house."

So after listening to Liu Bowen's analysis and suggestions, Zhu Qi nodded and said the old saying:

"I think so too."
