Chapter 800 Shocking news, Japanese pirates massacre the city!
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at Shen Changgong, then picked up the teacup and said,
"Then I will use tea instead of wine to toast to all the generals, to celebrate our successful reunion, and to wish our Great Yan a unified world!
cheers! "
"Dry!"
Everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Changgong moved a small stool and sat next to Yan Fuyao.
There was no seat assigned to Yan Fuyao originally, and people thought she would just come over to chat for a few minutes, but she insisted on squeezing in, which made Shen Changgong very helpless and he could only sit next to her.
Helping His Majesty the Emperor to pick up food like a little eunuch.
The table was full of delicious food, including big fish and meat. There was no delicate presentation or elaborate content. Only large pots and plates of meat were served on the table. The generals enjoyed eating and drinking at the same time.
As they drank more and more, everyone became a little tipsy and became more and more relaxed, laughing and chatting about stories in the army.
There are no rules here. They all walk around with wine glasses, looking for generals they are familiar with to toast and chat.
They talked about their respective experiences after they separated, especially the generals of the Western Army, who liked to brag to the Eastern Army about the difficulties of the Shu Road.
Even Shen Changgong and King Nan were toasted with a lot of wine by the generals below, and they felt a little dizzy after drinking.
Just when everyone was drinking happily, Gongsun Wan'er suddenly came hurriedly from the front yard. Regardless of her pregnancy, she held a memorial in her hand, pushed aside the crowd blocking her way, and ran anxiously towards the empress.
"What's the rush? Don't run around. You're pregnant."
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent military situation."
After hearing these four words, all the generals fell silent, as if they had pressed the pause button. They put down their wine bowls and turned to look at Gongsun Wan'er.
"Could it be that the Qian Kingdom is attacking?"
Zhang Han muttered softly.
Everyone also thought that it was the Qian Kingdom that was attacking.
Yan Fuyao opened the memorial, looked down, and his expression changed instantly.
The uncontrollable anger rolled in her eyes.
Shen Changgong also looked over, then stood up and shouted,
"Crazy! Too crazy!"
"My lord, what happened?"
Yu Huatian stood up and asked.
Shen Changgong looked at the generals and said,
"The governor of Ningbo County in the southeast sent an urgent report, traveling eight hundred miles, reporting that over five thousand Japanese pirates had crossed the sea and landed in Ningbo. They attacked Ningbo City at night and slaughtered the two thousand defenders and over fifty-eight thousand civilians.
The county magistrate escaped death, fled out of the city, and wrote a memorial at the post station.
Now, the Japanese pirates have looted Ningbo and are heading south to Taizhou!
The people and the county towns along the way were all killed!"
Hearing this, all the generals were furious.
"Damn it! My Great Yan army has millions of soldiers. How dare these little Japanese pirates invade our borders? Don't you know what the Celestial Empire is?"
"Are these nine clans of Japanese pirates wholesale? We are fighting for supremacy in the Central Plains, and they dare to take advantage of the situation to rob us."
"Kill these Japanese pirates! Damn it! This is outrageous! My son dares to hit me!"
"Your Majesty, our Flying Eagle Army requests to go on an expedition. We will not return until the Japanese pirates are annihilated!"
"Your Majesty! Let my Tianyu Army go."
"The Divine Front Army is willing to take on this important task and avenge the people of Dayan!"
"You are all too slow. I will personally lead the Zhennan Army!"
Prince Nan slammed the table, his face dark as water.
The generals were furious and all looked at Shen Changgong and Yan Fuyao.
This time, all the high-ranking generals of the Great Yan army gathered together. At this moment of universal celebration, the news of the Japanese pirates' massacre of the city came.
Who can bear this.
Shen Changgong was not in a hurry. It was already dark and there was no point in being anxious. He couldn't just go to war and leave immediately.
She looked at everyone and said,
"These little Japanese pirates, when Daxia was still around, were called Japanese slaves. They were only worthy of being called slaves, with low status and extremely weak.
Later, when the world was divided, these Japanese slaves repeatedly harassed the east coast of Chu State, and the eastern part of Qian State was also often harassed.
These Japanese pirates are highly skilled in martial arts. They are all warriors who have lost their land and masters in their hometown. When facing ordinary soldiers, one person can beat several of them.
Without a master, they could only wander around, robbing and pillaging for a living. They no longer called themselves samurai, but only ronin.
They are all people who don't care about their lives. They are very brave and extremely cruel. They know that there is a risk of encountering wind and waves and capsizing when crossing the sea from the mainland, but they still come in groups to the coastal areas of the Central Plains to plunder, seeking wealth and glory in danger.
They were extremely shameless. They would fight if they could win, and run to the sea if they couldn't. The Chu State's river ships could not enter the deep sea and could only wander in the shallow sea at most.
Later, they were given the word "pirate", and were called "Wokou".
Therefore, we cannot rely on conventional army combat strategies to fight these pirates. The difficulty in fighting the pirates is not how to defeat them, but how to find them."
"When fighting against the Japanese pirates, the quality of the soldiers is more important than the quantity.
The southeastern coast is two thousand miles away from us. If we march there with infantry, all the people along the coast will be killed.
My request is to have 20,000 elite cavalry, including mounted cavalry and dismounted infantry, the most powerful army.
"Zhang Han, go and send word. Have the Zhennan Army's most elite veterans come out and bring 20,000 men to me. Then bring along the muskets from the various armies and the Shenji Battalion, along with rations, and follow me on the expedition to wipe out this group of Japanese pirates!"
"As ordered!"
Zhang Han immediately clasped his hands, suddenly realizing something was wrong, and said,
"Ah? I'm not going?"
"Our army will be marching south in three days. Seven hundred miles away is the enemy's Lingling defense line, and we still need you to lead the troops in person.
The King of the South was responsible for commanding the army and marching south to attack the State of Qian.
A dozen days or so should be enough for me to travel back and forth to wipe out the Japanese pirates!
Perhaps we can still catch up and attack Lingling."
The Southern King slammed the table and said,
"You stay and command the army, and I will personally go and wipe out the Japanese pirates!"
"King Nan, don't argue now. Those Japanese pirates are highly skilled in martial arts..."
"So you mean that my martial arts skills are very poor?"
"That's not my intention. I'm going to lead a fleet to attack Japan in the future, so I need to first understand the enemy's combat methods."
"I will also have a role in defeating Japan!"
At this time, Yan Fuyao said,
"Stop arguing, both of you go, I will personally lead the army south.
It takes more than ten days to get from here to Lingling. You should be able to make it back.
Even if we can't make it back, we still have so many generals here who can lead troops and fight. With an army of over one million, can't we even take down Lingling City, which has a population of 400,000?"
Shen Changgong frowned and said,
"That won't work. You are the emperor and you are pregnant..."
"What? Are you going to use the same trick you used on Zi Ling on me? I won't listen to you.
The Japanese pirates massacred the people of Dayan. I sent you two kings to demonstrate my determination to wipe out the Japanese pirates."
