Turbulent Times Chapter 1047: Gao Jianwu, Lord of Koguryo
Fu Yuwu wanted to give Wang Junlin the daughter of his concubine as a concubine, but when he heard Wang Junlin say this, he thought about it secretly, so he gave up this idea and said: "What I said before Speaking of the supply of daily necessities such as grain, meat, and vegetables needed by the garrison on Dami Island and Baengling Island, Lord Qin An can rest assured that the old man can finalize this matter on behalf of the Lord of Baekje and the court, and guarantee the supply at the lowest price in the Chinese market. Qin Angong only needs to arrange ships to pull the cargo at our ports.”
Wang Junlin replied happily: "Then I would like to thank Lord Wu, this can solve a big problem for our two island garrisons."
Feeling Wang Junlin's sincere gratitude, Fu Yuwu felt relieved, and thought that maybe he could achieve his goal without sending his daughter to him as a concubine, so he nodded slightly and said, "Qin Angong sees you By the way, my Baekje Kingdom was originally a vassal state of the Great Sui Dynasty. The Celestial Army came here to help us deal with Goguryeo wolves. It is not worth mentioning to supply some food, meat and vegetables. But if Goguryeo sends troops to attack my Baekje Kingdom, please also ask Qin Angong It can allow the troops stationed on the two islands to support and contain one or two from the sea..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I have accepted His Majesty's orders and led troops to occupy the two islands of Goguryeo forcibly in order to prevent Goguryeo from annexing Baekje. What's more, your country is already under the protection of our dynasty. What Duke Wu just said It's really my duty..." Wang Junlin said.
What Wang Junlin said is not an exaggeration at all. The Sui Dynasty was originally the suzerain of the Baekje Kingdom. It is reasonable that the Baekje King is also a subject of the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
Of course, compared to the letter of credence issued by the emperor to Baekje in the name of the suzerain state at least once a year when Baekje sent envoys to pay homage to the Sui Emperor, the one Wang Junlin brought was completed in just a day or two. The powerful navy and sturdy warships that destroyed half of the Goguryeo navy are what Baekje prefers and what they fear.
Similarly, this is also the reason why Wang Junlin received such courteous treatment from Baekje and Silla, and they rushed to give gifts to others.
…
…
Fu Yuwu returned to Baekje Kingdom satisfied, and Wang Junlin also achieved his goal, but the plan to turn Bailing and Dami into two treasure islands has just begun.
Zhang Tiangang's actions were quick, and among the captive Goguryeo people, there were indeed pirates temporarily recruited by Yuan Taizuo. After some torture, he easily obtained the information he wanted.
"In that case, let Xin'er and Xuanba prepare for it! Send an order to Liu Yidong and Luo Chunlai, and ask them to send a thousand people each to the two boys." Wang Junlin guessed right, Among the 15,000 Goguryeo Navy sent by Yuan Taizuo to Dami and Bailing Island successively, three pirates sent a total of nearly 5,000 people.
…
…
The county town of Annan County in Koguryo is called Annanfu, which is surrounded by hills and is about a hundred miles away from the seashore.
Located in Xiongcheng in the south of Goguryeo, it is the largest city in the south of Goguryeo.
It's midsummer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. However, Annan County has a lot of rain in summer due to its terrain and geographical location.
As the Prime Minister of Goguryeo, Yeon Tae-jo came to Annan County from Xijing, the capital of Goguryeo, for a month.
Although he had already overestimated Wang Junlin as much as possible, and he had prepared so well in advance, he used 15,000 people to deal with 4,000 people, and it was at their home court in Goguryeo, but he lost so completely in the end, but It was something he had never thought of before.
Now that I think about it, I plan to kill Wang Junlin at sea, or even capture him alive, so that his life would be worse than death, it is really ridiculous!
Now not only failed to capture Dami Island and Bailing Island, but also lost 10,000 sailors. As for the other 5,000 pirates who were fooled by him, they died, but that was a full 10,000. Sailor!
Even though he is the prime minister with power over the court, he is not the master of Goguryeo after all. Shi Gaojian Wu was the lord of the country for a short time, and he was restrained by various methods and family forces, and even suppressed to death. However, as time went by, the extraordinary qualities of this young lord gradually became apparent. Some people have already secretly turned to the young king.
Yuan Taizuo knew very well that Gao Jianwu had always expected him to make a mistake, because every time he made a mistake, in order to appease the mistake, he had to give in to Gao Jianwu and return part of the power in his hand to Gao Jianwu.
This time the Annan Navy was almost wiped out. In order to prevent Wang Junlin from counterattacking with the navy, he had to dispatch the Linjun Navy to Annan County. As a result, most of the Annan Navy suffered losses and 3,000 people were captured. The news is difficult to block.
After the news spread, the whole country of Koguryo was shaken. Some advocated the use of soldiers, some advocated peace talks, and some advocated sending people to the Sui Dynasty to find the emperor and cry.
All these turbulent debates, Yuan Taizuo faintly realized that they were the result of their young lord Gao Jianwu behind the scenes. Forcing him to hand over some power.
However, if he can send a navy to avenge his hatred, seize Dami Island and Bailing Island, annihilate the navy led by Wang Junlin, and then let his forces guide and promote it secretly, it is absolutely possible to shake the domestic public opinion. Turning it upside down, not only will it not affect his prestige in the country and the court, but it will also allow him to take advantage of the great victory to suppress Gao Jianwu's royal power. He has obtained it by sending troops to Baekje and Silla over the years. Victory made him the prime minister of Goguryeo.
So, the key now is how to defeat Wang Junlin.
Yuan Tae-joo has recently led a group of confidants and dispatched navy generals to discuss for half a month, because now only 10,000 sailors can be mobilized. According to the experience of previous failures, they want to win This battle will require at least 20,000 sailors.
The only way they can do now is to find a way to transport their country's army and navy together, and in addition to lure Wang Junlin to lead people to attack Annan County.
But Wang Junlin is not an idiot, how could he lead 4,000 people to leave the two acquired islands and come to invade Goguryeo's mainland at this time.
And the attitudes of the powerful pirates under his control suddenly became ambiguous. With the navy led by Wang Junlin showing strong combat effectiveness, the sailors under his command were as few as possible. There are two thousand, more than tens of thousands of pirate organizations, and none of them offered to help them send troops.
Yuan Taizuo rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and couldn't think of a feasible solution for a while.
The speed at which Wang Junlin led 4,000 people to rise up in the waters of the Korean Peninsula was too jaw-dropping. In just a few days, they quickly gained a firm foothold.
