Prince of Chaos

Chapter 409: Win or Lose
"Your Highness, North Korea urgent report!"

The sky was not yet bright, Wei Zhongxian arrived outside Zhu Changluo's bedroom early after receiving the urgent report from the shadow guard, and shouted in a slightly anxious voice.

After Zhu Changluo heard the voice, his eyes opened instantly.

"It's dawn. I still have business to do."

However, the enchanting woman beside him climbed up and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, isn't it your business to be a concubine? You can do whatever you want."

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, with an appearance of letting you pick and choose, Zhu Changluo's heart swayed.

Zhu Changluo really can't stand Li Xuanshi's evildoer, she is really getting more and more succulent, more and more charming, moreover, she understands Zhu Changluo's mind very well, and can cooperate with any play she wants.

This is why Zhu Changluo often turned to her brand.

However, now is really not the time to play.

Zhu Changluo pinched Li Xuanshi who was startled by her again and let out a yelp.

Zhu Changluo said, "I'll take care of you when I'm done with my lonely work."

Then, Zhu Changluo left Li Xuan, who was slightly resentful, to get up.

After Zhu Changluo finished dressing under the service of the maid, Zhu Changluo opened the door of the palace.

"what's up?"

Wei Zhongxian held up the secret report in his hand respectfully.

"North Korea urgent report."

Zhu Changluo took the secret report and quickly browsed through it.

After Zhu Changluo finished reading, Zhu Changluo sighed after a long time, "It's a talent."

Then, Zhu Changluo ordered: "Notify them, let them find out what happened in the Mingliang naval battle as soon as possible. You must know the exact information."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

The content of the battle report sent by Wei Zhongxian is that Yi Sun-shin and the Japanese pirates encountered each other in Myeongryang Gorge, Haenam County, Jeolla-do, and a naval battle broke out between the two sides!

The course of the battle was not detailed in the secret report, but it was written at the end that Yi sun-shin fought a hundred times the enemy with a weak force and did not lose the wind and retreated completely!

Seeing this battle report, Zhu Changluo knew that this was the most glorious moment in North Korean history. Yi Sunshin won the Myeongryang naval battle.

However, the words used by the ancient literati are too exaggerated. If it is really a hundred times the Japanese pirates, even if Li Sunshin is a god, he may not be able to win.

After all, the warships used by the North Korean navy are all turtle ships. As the name suggests, the turtle ship means that the ship looks like a turtle. This kind of warship is a strategic-level offshore warship manufactured by Yi Sun-shin in the 19th year of Wanli. ferry.

This kind of warship is about ten feet long, three and a half feet wide, and one and a half feet high.There are 10 sculls on the left and right sides of the ship as the power drive of the ship.The mast on the ship can also be raised or lowered.

There are more than 70 holes in this kind of turtle ship, which can be used for shooting guns, cannons or archery. There are 26 cabins such as cabins and warehouses.

The bow of the turtle boat is in the shape of a turtle, and it can spit out poisonous gases such as burning sulfur and flame nitrate like mist from the mouth of the bow to attack the approaching enemy ships.

This kind of ship is still considered a relatively advanced warship at present.

However, Zhu Changluo knew that the weakness of this kind of warship was also obvious. Firstly, the hull of this kind of ship was too low, so it was not suitable for sailing in the open sea. Otherwise, a wave in the deep sea could overturn and cover it. Poor, the recoil of the artillery with strong firepower is also extremely strong, and this ship is small, maybe the enemy's ship is fine after a round of shelling, it will be overturned by the recoil of its own artillery first.

Then, the most deadly reason is that the manufacturing cost of this kind of ship is too high, and the battle method is too primitive, and the water battle is still done by connecting the ship.

In the future, naval battles will almost always be long-distance bombardment operations. A ship like this, no matter how strong it is built, is still a living target.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo needs the exact battle report, he needs to know the real details of the Mingliang naval battle.

Otherwise, in the future naval battles, the navy would not be able to study first-hand information, nor would they be able to conclude the tactics after the battle. For Zhu Changluo, this battle would be for naught.

Therefore, in order to find out the situation, Zhu Changluo could only order Wei Zhongxian to continue to investigate and ask him to retrieve all the history of the naval battle.

Seeing that the North Korean navy has achieved such a brilliant record, it is impossible to say that it is not sour.

After all, Zhu Changluo had high hopes for his Zhili navy.

The small North Korean navy has achieved such a record, but his Zhili navy still has nothing at sea, which is unreasonable.

As the master of the Zhili Navy, Zhu Changluo is undoubtedly the most anxious person.

"Come on, go and find Xiao Ruxun."

Zhu Changluo couldn't sit still anymore, and it was time to find someone to talk about the problem.

While Zhu Changluo was waiting for Xiao Ruxun to come from Tianjin to meet him, Cao Huachun's information was also delivered.

Cho Hwa-soon's information also refers to Yi Sun-shin's Myeongryang naval battle.

However, the information collected by Cao Huachun's Fo Bole was more detailed and detailed.

This made Zhu Changluo very satisfied.

Cao Huachun reported in intelligence that Yi Sun-shin disobeyed the King of Joseon and refused to serve as the commander-in-chief of the three military forces, and insisted on using the navy to fight against the Japanese bandits.The king of Joseon was angry and ordered Yi sun-shin to fight the Japanese at sea.On September 25, the [-]th year of Wanli, Li Shunchen took advantage of the terrain of Mingliang Gorge to lure Japanese pirates to fight in the gorge.

There were thirteen turtle ships under Li Sunchen's department, hundreds of civilian ships, and three hundred Japanese pirate ships.The two fought fiercely in Mingliang Gorge!Due to the narrowness of the gorge and the unpredictable water flow, Li Sunshin's troops fought fiercely against the Japanese pirates in the gorge by virtue of their geographical advantages.

Later, due to the reversal of the current in the gorge, Li sun-shin seized the opportunity to jump onto the Japanese enemy ship, fought hand-to-hand on the ship, and killed a Japanese general.At the end of the battle, Li Sun-shin felt that "the water is extremely dangerous and the situation is lonely", so he took the opportunity to withdraw from Mingliang Gorge, and retreated to Tangzhi Island that day.

Although Li Sunchen gained victory in the battle, the Japanese pirates did not diminish.Taking advantage of Yi Sun-sin's retreat, the Japanese pirates occupied the Youshui Camp of the Korean navy and captured the Korean soldier Cao Jianghang.The area around Mingliang was completely occupied by pirates.

After reading the battle report, Zhu Changluo felt indescribable. He felt sorry for Li Sunshin and admired Li Sunshin's courage and strategy.

"Let those under your command follow suit. This is what intelligence is about."

Zhu Changluo gave Wei Zhongxian the information sent by Cao Huachun. After Wei Zhongxian read the information sent by Cao Huachun, his face turned pale with fright.

"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die. The slave has failed the master's expectations, and the slave will definitely correct it until the master is satisfied."

Wei Zhongxian really didn't expect that Cao Huachun would be so powerful, he would do intelligence work so meticulously, he really didn't expect that.

At the same time, Wei Zhongxian also felt great pressure and a sense of urgency. The rising star Cao Huachun has been doing so well in Liaodong, which is undoubtedly a kind of oppression for him.

If his intelligence work is still stagnant, maybe one day his current position will disappear and he will be replaced by Cao Huachun.

This is the result that Wei Zhongxian is most afraid of.

However, fortunately, there was one thing Cao Huachun didn't know, so he couldn't take credit for it.

He is now in full swing, trying every means to get back the Jurchen woman that Zhu Changluo had mentioned several times before.

"Okay, that's the end of this matter, you really should put some thought into your own work. The expectations of you are far higher than anyone else, do you understand?"

Zhu Changluo said such a sentence to Wei Zhongxian, which moved Wei Zhongxian to tears.

He knew that his name was bestowed by Zhu Changluo, and everything he had today was also bestowed by Zhu Changluo. Moreover, he came from behind to become Zhu Changluo's close eunuch, which was also bestowed by Zhu Changluo.

At this point, even Wang An, the old man next to Zhu Changluo, had reddened eyes with envy, but if he still failed to do a good job in his job, then Zhu Changluo would be even more disappointed in him.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian also knew that he could no longer be pampered and pampered like this, and he should do something for His Highness to see.

"Get up, go and invite the cabinet boss and the minister of the Ministry of War."

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately replied: "The servant obeys the order."

After the cabinet and Li Chengliang heard Zhu Changluo's call, they immediately put down their work and came to Ciqing Palace.

After the four people finished seeing the ceremony, Zhu Changluo said, "Give me a seat."

After the four sat down in order, Zhu Changluo said, "Have you received the North Korean military report?"

When Zhu Changluo asked, the three elders of the cabinet and Li Chengliang looked at each other, and then Li Chengliang leaned back and said, "Return to Your Highness, not yet."

Zhu Changluo was not surprised to hear Li Chengliang's words. He also knew that the war reports of the Ministry of War were sometimes extremely fast, and sometimes very slow.

As for why they were grinding, either they didn't win the battle, or they hadn't discussed how to divide the credits.

Therefore, it is very common for military reports to be delayed. However, this phenomenon is undoubtedly a very bad phenomenon for the top decision makers in Beijing.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since your military report hasn't arrived yet, let's take a look at Gu's first. It's from Dongchang."

Zhu Changluo said Dongchang's name without blushing and heartbeat. After hearing the name of Dongchang, the three giants of the cabinet and Li Chengliang, there was a flash of shock in the eyes of the three.

Now that even the East Factory has been handed over to the crown prince, the emperor's love and trust for the crown prince has really reached the point where it cannot be increased.

Involuntarily, the three of them became even more in awe of Zhu Changluo. During this period of time, the crown prince's authority had already made them dizzy.

Since Crown Prince Yiwen and Emperor Renzong Hongxi, there have been no crown princes with such inflated power.

Now, one suddenly appeared, and they were still extremely shocked.

After Shen Shixing and others read Zhu Changluo and handed it to the military newspaper.

Zhu Changluo asked: "My Ming Dynasty did not take part in this battle too much, but I think that without my Ming Dynasty's restraint on the frontal battlefield, the North Korean navy would definitely not be able to achieve such a record."

After Shen Shixing and others heard Zhu Changluo's words, they immediately understood what Zhu Changluo meant.

The four immediately replied: "Your Highness is wise."

Then, Zhu Changluo continued: "The Ministry of War sent an official letter and asked Xing Jie to look at the situation. If the King of Joseon was ungrateful and unlucky, let him reward Li Sun-shin with something. Although this battle was defeated, the hearts of the frontline soldiers should not be chilled. Although North Korea is a foreign country, it is also the barrier of our Ming Dynasty, and the people of North Korea are also our people. In view of the new defeat of North Korea and the unknown situation, let Xing Jie continue to speed up the resettlement of the people suffering from North Korea to Daming to show the benevolence of our country Germany."

Zhu Changluo set the tone for the Mingliang naval battle in a few words, that is, the Korean War was defeated, but Li Sunshin is not bad, he can reward the award, but this award can only be given by the front-line commander Xing Jie, the court will not reward the defeated army General's.

Faced with Zhu Changluo's arrangement, the cabinet and Li Chengliang immediately reached a consensus, that is, North Korea's new defeat, the situation is in crisis, and Ming should continue to rescue the Korean people in the fire and water with a heart of benevolence.

This news is great joy to the large-scale workshops in Beijing that are short of manpower.They love cheap labor from North Korea so much.
