Water Margin Survival

The urgent report of the tragedy on Jeju Island was forwarded to the Andong Governor's Office through Zhenfan County in the morning of the next day.

At that time, Wang Lun was inspecting the Third Liangshan Infantry Army, which was named after "Seoul", accompanied by Cao Canjun Jiuwenlong Shijin, a new soldier in the Duhu Mansion.After suddenly receiving the news of the Japanese attack on Jeju Island, he dropped the cup on the spot, and the inspection was interrupted.Not long after, several important counselors of the Liangshan Group in Seoul received orders to go to the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters.

"Wen Duhu, what's so urgent?" Wu Yong was lucky enough to attend such an important internal meeting for the first time, and he was so excited that he didn't know whether to step his left foot or his right foot first.He didn't have much friendship with others, but fortunately Wen Huanzhang was generous, so he spoke up with a shy face.

Seeing that it was Wu Yong who came up to him, Wen Huanzhang's dignified expression eased a little, he squeezed out a smile, and said, "Jia Liang, this time the negotiation with the imperial court was done well! If it wasn't for you, I would call The old man rushes the ducks to the shelves, I'm afraid it won't achieve the effect you created!"

Wu Yong knew that with Wen Huanzhang's current status, what he said could basically represent the official opinions of Liangshan.Even he said that he did a good job, which means that his performance in the previous period was basically recognized by high-level figures.At the moment, he was really elated, and hurriedly said modestly:

"It's all thanks to my elder brother and Wen Duhu, who played tricks on that stupid gentleman. The student is ashamed to say it, but he is just talking about it!"

"Don't underestimate yourself, the lord sees all your achievements, keep it up, keep working hard!" Wen Huanzhang patted Wu Yong on the shoulder, and when his eyes left Wu Yong, his face turned back to a dignified expression.

Wu Yong used to be able to observe words and expressions, and seeing that Huanzhang was clearly worried, and could still talk to him in a pleasant manner, he was inexplicably moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Guardian, is there something serious? The Jurchens have sent troops?"

Wen Huanzhang took a meaningful look at Wu Yong. He knew what Wang Lun meant by asking Wu Yong to come over to listen with him today, and it was definitely not just for reward.After thinking about it for a while, he didn't hide it from him, so he picked up the important things about the war that happened on Jeju Island last night.

Wu Yong was very surprised at first, then gradually fell silent, and did not express his opinion impatiently. Anyway, the two chief officials on Jeju Island, one civil and one military, have a lot to do with him, and Xiao Rang let him drag him to the road of green forest Yes, Zhu Tong is from the same village, and Wu Yong is really reluctant to comment on their affairs in front of others.However, when he suddenly heard that the Wangmata family had died at the hands of the Japanese, his first reaction was to clap his hands and cheer: "That's great! From then on, there will be no future troubles in Korea!"

Wu Yong's abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of Qiu Xian and General Lu who were talking in low voices. Wu Yong did not hide his emotions, and continued: "This is God who wants to protect me forever!"

Both Qiu and General Lv were traditional scholars, and they believed in the enlightenment of gentlemen who "neighbors have funerals, but don't pound each other. There are funerals in the house, but no singing in the street". They didn't feel very good about Wu Yong on the spot.But anyway, looking at him, he was just talking about the matter, and the two just looked at each other and shook their heads at this moment, and neither paid him any attention.Unexpectedly, Wu's next sentence made the two of them couldn't bear it anymore.

"Wen Duhu, is Gao Rulin's family still in Tamluo County?" Wu Yong seemed to be caught in his own thoughts, and he didn't care about the expressions of the people present.

"Wu pedant, you're enough!" Qiu Qian jumped up and said, "Gao Zhenqian is the magistrate of Tamluo County appointed by the Duhufu, and he himself is the registered disciple of the lord. Why do you criticize other people's life and death? If today you say If the words are spread, won't the father and son of the Gao family be separated from each other?!"

"Father and son of the Gao family?" Wu Yong keenly grasped the information contained in Qiu Xian's words, and said joyfully, "What about Gao Zhen? This son-in-law of Wang Yu is also dead?! Wonderful!"

Qiu didn't expect Wu Yong to get what he wanted from his words so quickly, he was angry and surprised at the moment, while Wen Huanzhang and Lu Jiang looked at Wu Yong intriguingly, but kept silent.Wu Yong found everyone's reaction, and suddenly smiled: "You are all good ministers who help the world, and you behave in an upright manner. The younger brother cares about this, so naturally he is not in the elegant hall. I invite you to be Han, and I didn't say anything just now. !"

It is said that when you reach out and don't hit the smiling face, the Baihutang returned to calm. Unlike Wen Huanzhang and Qiu Xian, General Lu said silently in his heart: "I'm not afraid that you have Jia Xu's poison, but I'm afraid that you will be innocent." Jia Xu's wisdom!"

The four of them sat quietly for a long time, when they suddenly heard movement outside the festival hall, and only heard Wang Lun's angry voice coming from outside the festival hall: "What are the two battalions of sailors on Jeju Island doing? They are called four or five thousand Japanese pirates." Touching the island without knowing anything is no longer just a matter of dereliction of duty, it is a crime! A crime against hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the island!"

The people in the festival hall seldom saw Wang Lun angry. At this time, Wen Huanzhang was the leader, and the four hurried out of the hall, and they all advised, "My lord, calm down!" With a sigh of relief, the two of them had a personal experience, and the usually smiling Zhaizhu lost his temper, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.

"Mr. Wen, later on in my name you published an article on Jeju Island. Xiao Rang and Zhu Dian, as prefects and soldiers and horses, were paralyzed and negligent in defending the land. They even caused Japanese pirates to attack the island and killed three thousand soldiers and civilians." The rest of the people, and countless other injured, are truly unforgivable crimes! The two of them are now relieved of all duties, and sent to Seoul Mansion to be dealt with by the Secretary!"

Removal of duties plus punishment for crimes, this is the most severe punishment given to the leader since Liang Shanbo opened the mountain, and everyone present could not help but look surprised.Only Wen Huanzhang secretly sighed, thinking that the two of them had really lived in peace for a long time, and they were almost paralyzed.Considering that Jeju Island hangs alone in the sea, it is reasonable to say that there should be no threat, but Wang Lun has always insisted on garrisoning [-] troops, and there are three commanders in the cavalry alone. Who are you defending against?Is it to prevent the common people? !It's a pity that Xiao Rang, a civil servant from Liangshan's direct lineage, originally had a bright future, but now that he has added this disgraceful experience to his official career, if he wants to wash it off in the future, he doesn't know how much he will have to pay.

Just when everyone was feeling sorry for Xiao Rang and Zhu Dian, Du Duwu thumped in his heart: "Isn't it because you want me to take over Xiao Rang, the poor guy?" : "I'm good at finding people, but how can I know how to do civil affairs? Maybe there will be a war against the Japanese, and then no one will listen to me?!"

Facts have proved that Wu Yong is thinking a little too much.At this time, Wang Lun had already found a candidate, "I ordered Zu Shiyuan to take over as the prefect of Jeju Island from now on. When I receive the order, I will rush to Jeju Island to take up the post!" On Shi Wengong on the outermost side of the crowd:

"Wen Gong, I originally asked you to assemble a team to go north to support Xiao Duhu. Who would have thought that something like this happened in Jeju Island right now, after thinking about it, I still think it's appropriate for you to go! Right now we still don't know the intention of Wa Kingdom What is it, you go there first, together with Hu Yanqing and Zhang Shun's two naval forces, give me the island to stabilize first!"

How could Shi Wengong not know the significance of Jeju Island to Liangshanbo? Seeing that Wang Lun entrusted it to him to guard, how much trust is this?Immediately patted his chest and said: "If you call the Japanese, no, the Japanese pirates come in again, and they will never come back!" It was still Wang Lun's vivid and appropriate name for the Japanese, and Shi Wengong instantly learned it and used it vividly.

"Okay! Then I'll take it seriously! You pack up and take your men to Ren County Wharf first, and then I will send a doctor to meet you, and you can go straight away when everyone is ready! There are only a few thousand garrison troops on the island now , The Japanese pirates ran away a lot last night, and I don’t know whether they will come back to take revenge!" Wang Lun patted Shi Wengong on the shoulder and lightly tapped it a few times, which seemed like a heavy weight to Shi Wengong.After all, after experiencing so many things, a tacit understanding has already been established between the two.

"My lord, don't worry! The last general will not dare to be entrusted with a heavy trust!" Shi Wengong, who was ordered to retreat in the face of danger, clasped his fists and retreated. Wang Lun calmed down a little at this time. Looking at Shi Wengong who was leaving, Wang Lun was distracted for a moment, and there was only one sentence in his mind over and over again. : "You have successfully attracted my attention!"

Wang Lun stood proudly in front of the White Tiger Festival Hall, but no one dared to urge him. In the end, he restrained himself, and everyone followed him into the White Tiger Festival Hall.After everyone was seated, Wang Lun asked Yan Qing to report the latest information on Jeju Island.

"According to the comprehensive information we know so far, more than 5000 ships of various sizes and sizes were loaded with nearly [-] people. The Japanese pirates landed on the island from the south of the island at [-] o'clock last night. After the bloodbath of our manor where Wang Yu was placed, it seems to have obtained information on the island. , and no longer love to fight, the soldiers divided into two groups and marched directly towards the two counties of Xushi and Tamna. They did not plunder the cottages or leak the news along the way. Fortunately, Lei Heng, the guard of the racecourse, accidentally smashed the conspiracy of the Japanese pirates along the west road. Immediately borrowed the carrier pigeons in the manor to warn Zhudu in Xushi city, but because the sergeant in charge of the carrier pigeons in the city neglected his duty, he wasted the hard-won early warning time..."

"It was only when the Japanese pirates came to the city that the defenders realized that there was a melee between the two sides. Fortunately, Lei Heng led the two battalions of cavalry stationed in the racecourse to rush to the rescue overnight, and finally repelled the Japanese pirates' attack! In addition, dozens of Japanese pirates scattered. The boats were blown away by the sea wind , landed at different places, and when they were plundering the village, they were beaten to death by the Min Zhuang who heard the news!"

When Yan Qing made the statement, she tried to be as unemotional as possible, but the audience still changed color. The enemy's large army was discovered by the guards on duty at night when they approached the city.At this time, Wu Yong asked, "Did the guards guarding Wangmata Manor release the pigeons before?"

Yan Qing nodded and said: "It's released, but like Lei Shoubei's carrier pigeon, no one received the letter that night!"

"Zhu Dujian is so confused!" Qiu Qian, who had worked in Jeju Island, lamented, "Although there are not many places where carrier pigeons are used on the island, how can they not send people to take turns day and night? Sigh!"

Wu Yongjian said, thinking in his stomach: "He is clearly 'kind', and he is considerate of the soldiers! Now it's better, and he made such a big mess!"

Yan Qing also sighed, and said again: "Because the magistrate Gao of Tamluo County got the news, he organized two battalions of infantry and Tamluo people stationed in the city overnight to guard the city. He trained the cavalry battalion of the garrison army, so the Japanese pirates did not take much advantage. When the Japanese pirates who had no hope of attacking the city turned to harass the village, he handed over the city to the Han people Zhuang and his tribe in the city to guard it, and took the initiative to lead troops out of the city to rescue Although the two battalions stationed in Tamna suffered heavy losses, fortunately the Japanese pirates were finally driven into the sea! However, Gao County Magistrate’s direct brother and sister-in-law were at the old man Wang Yu’s village that night, so they did not escape the attack. A military disaster!"

While Yan Qing was recovering from the situation, the names of Lei Heng and Gao Zhenqian became the highlights of last night's useless battle. Wang Lun fully affirmed the actions of these two people, especially Lei Heng. .

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

This is the highest meeting place of the Protectorate Mansion. Any decision made is related to the well-being of millions of people and affects the situation of the entire peninsula. If Lun keeps him, the very clever little brother Yi will take the initiative to avoid suspicion.

Although Yan Qing couldn't come up with more specific information, the people who can enter this circle to discuss matters are all wise men who have heard everything and know everything, and they have expressed their own judgments on the known situation.

"My lord, when I was in Lintun County, I heard the natives talk about this Japanese country. I always think it's a bit strange that they are attacking us at this juncture!" General Lu said with his outstanding strategic vision. Famous, he frowned and wrinkled his brows, and thought out every word:

"We all thought that person was just colluding with the Jurchens and ignored other aspects. Could it be that these Japanese pirates came because of him!?" (To be continued~^~)
