Turbulent Times Chapter 1034: Emissary of Baekje

The map placed in the main hall of Wang Junlin's ship can be said to be the most accurate sea map in the world. The geography of Luo, Wa, and all the islands in this sea area are plotted. Even all the ports of these four countries, all the routes that can run ships in this sea area, and the largest ships corresponding to the routes are also marked on the map. .

Before Nie Xiaoyu taught stargazing, there were actually some navigators who mastered superficial stargazing, but were unable to calculate and distinguish latitude and longitude, so no one or country’s nautical charts were more accurate and complete than Wang Junlin’s navy .

With the existence of a group of leading talents like Du Haiwa trained by Nie Xiaoyu himself, even if sailing in rainy weather, there is almost no possibility of getting lost on the familiar route.

Under the promotion of Wang Junlin, especially with the inhuman existence of Nie Xiaoyu, the navigation technology of Wang Junlin's navy can be said to be far ahead of the times.

"Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa all have naval forces, but because Wa is purely an island country, the Japanese navy is stronger. Goguryeo wants to annex Baekje and Silla, and even capture our Sui Dynasty. Liaodong, so the infantry and cavalry are not weak, but the navy is average, mainly concentrated in the southwest of Goguryeo and the two counties of Annan, in fact, it is also to deal with pirates.”

"Although they have no less than 20,000 sailors, according to the information sent by the spies, Yuan Taizuo has mobilized no less than 10,000 sailors to concentrate in Annan County. What we have to do now is divided into two parts. When the opponent's navy comes to attack, defeat them and cause heavy losses to the enemy. Then our navy will follow and chase, and the enemy will be completely defeated. Secondly, by the way, we will destroy Goguryeo's large naval port in Annan County, so that Bailing Island And Dami Island can not be threatened by Goguryeo within one or two years, but with a buffer of one or two years, we carefully manage the two islands, which are naturally solid, and only we are qualified to fight them at that time, so we will never be afraid of them again ..." Wang Junlin analyzed the map for Liu Yidong and Luo Chunlai.

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that they can take advantage of the contempt of the Goguryeo people to lure the Goryeo army to go to the island, then destroy all their ships, and then gradually annihilate them!" Liu Yidong pondered for a while, before expressing his opinion.

Wang Junlin nodded, shook his head, and said: "Although this strategy is safe, it takes too long. After all, our troops are smaller than the opponent's, and our warships and tactics are superior, giving up the advantage of water warfare. Fighting land battles is putting the cart before the horse, but if we can trap the opponent on the island and grind them to death, we can minimize our losses."

Luo Chunlai saw that Liu Yidong's words were denied by the prefect, and he was a little happy in his heart, and then said: "My lord, I think that although Goguryeo is weak, it has nearly two million people, and it is a relatively unified country. , our strength should not be underestimated, and we are under the nose of others, this battle cannot be dragged on for too long, it should be decided quickly."

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "What Chunlai said is reasonable, and this battle really cannot be dragged on for too long."

After a pause, Wang Junlin turned his head and said to Zhang Tiangang next to him: "Send a message to Xiaoyu through the white-bellied sea eagle, so that the two thousand sailors on Snake Island are ready to go to battle at any time."

Zhang Tiangang promised to do it himself, and Wang Junlin took Luo Chunlai and Liu Yidong to continue discussing tactics.

Wang Junlin brought two captains Guo Yi to discuss the tactics, and received a report from a nearby sentinel that Baekje sent envoys to see the naval forces occupying Dami Island and Baekryung Island leader.

Wang Junlin knew that after he returned Yuan Gai Suwen to Yuan Taizuo, it would be difficult for him to keep his control of the two islands secret. Presumably Yuan Taizuo had sent people to Luoyang by now, firstly to spread the news, The second is to find Wang Junlin's political opponents to impeach Wang Junlin for this matter.

Therefore, before Wang Junlin came to occupy these two islands, he was also fully prepared. First of all, the secret memorial he sent to Luoyang to Emperor Yang Guang was already in Yang Guang's hands.

The reason why he persuaded Yang Guang was very simple. He sent people to recruit some pirates in the sea area of ​​Fanyang County. They lied, but before Wang Junlin came to Fanyang County, no less than 5,000 pirates invaded Fanyang County and once captured a county seat. Yang Guang knew about this.

In addition, Wang Junlin told Yang Guang that he would use these recruited pirates to occupy the two islands of Goguryeo to prepare for His Majesty's next attack on Goguryeo.

As for the thousands of pirates occupying these two islands, although Yang Guang is happy about it, he never thinks that this manpower and being far overseas will threaten his rule.

Therefore, Wang Junlin sent people to Baekje and Silla to inform Baekje and Silla that he was going to occupy these two islands in the name of the Taishou of Sui Fanyang County, which made the two countries very happy.

They tried their best to draw Da Sui into the situation on the Korean peninsula to deal with the increasingly powerful Goguryeo, but they never succeeded. Unexpectedly, this poisonous general Wang Junlin, who has been rumored even in Baeksilla and Baekje, has already stretched out his hand here in less than a year as the prefect of Fanyang County.

The sentry ship reported that the envoys of the Baekje Kingdom led three ships to meet the general who occupied the two islands. Obviously they did not know that Wang Junlin came here in person.

Baekje is obviously considering forming an alliance with the troops stationed on the two islands to jointly deal with Goguryeo, which was also expected by Wang Junlin.

In fact, the internal opinions of Baekje and Silla are not unified. The main reason is that the monarchs and ministers of these two countries are worried that the hand of Sui will penetrate into their two countries, and they are worried about attracting wolves into the house and raising tigers.

The final opinion is that the garrisons on these two islands can form friendship and support each other, but it is not appropriate to carry out substantive joint forces.

Of course, if Wang Junlin hit Goguryeo in one fell swoop this time, the monarchs and ministers of these two countries might change their minds.

The people from Baekje Kingdom are a military general and a civil servant, and their attitude was relatively arrogant. After all, they got the news that the pirates who occupied the two islands were the pirates from Fanyang County in the Sui Dynasty. After the lineup, they were taken aback. When they found out that the well-known Sui Emperor Qin An and the governor of Dongyang County were also here, his attitude was extremely respectful.

Wang Junlin had a conversation with the two, and after finding out what the Baekje monarchs and ministers meant, he told them that the Goguryeo navy would attack soon, so he asked them to watch the battle.

Baekje is obviously a bit afraid of being bullied by Goguryeo these years. After hearing that the Goryeo navy has tens of thousands of people coming to attack, the two people have a look of fear. If it weren't for the four thousand waters brought by Wang Junlin The battleship lineup of the division is indeed strong, and Wang Junlin's prestige is prominent enough. Otherwise, the two of them would have led people to evacuate immediately.
