Chapter 107 Decision
At night, under the candlelight, Prime Minister and King Qi and Wenming were using the "secret text form" to translate secret letters. The secret letters were actually a small note with small words written on them, and they needed to use a magnifying glass to see clearly.
This special secret letter is used when communicating between Yu Wenming and his younger brother Yu Wenwen. The text written on the letter is not a sentence and must be translated through the "secret text form" to obtain the correct content.
It was confidential, so Yu Wenming could only translate it himself, and the result of the translation shocked him.
In a secret letter sent by Fei Ge, Yuwen Wen reported to him a major event: Wang Jun, the admiral of the Maritime Navy, led the boat troops from the near sea to break into the Yangtze River and captured Jingkou, an important defense town of Chen Guojiang.
The reason was that the Zhou people who had to flee from Jiankang cried and said that Chen Guo had gone back on his word and sent troops to Lifang where the Zhou people gathered, and searched and even killed people in the name of capturing the suspect.
The reason why Yuwen Wen was able to receive the news on the same day (yesterday) was because Wang Na’s fleet was carrying carrier pigeons, so the news was able to be spread in time.
When Yu Wenming saw this news, he could hardly believe his eyes. He quickly re-translated it, and after confirming it, he still couldn't come back to his senses.
For Chen State, Jingkou is an important gateway to protect the capital and Jiankang, and it is also an important gate for Jiankang to connect with Guangling, Jiangbei. He will inevitably station heavy troops. How could it be so easily captured by the Zhou Navy?
Is the navy of the Maritime Division so powerful?
Yu Wenming felt it was a bit incredible. He knew the exact situation of the naval commander of the Maritime Bureau. The composition was based on the Qingxu navy selected by some of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, there were not many people. Most of them were coastal boatmen. There was no problem in fighting overseas island barbarians. How about...
It’s not that Yu Wenming was deceived by his younger brother, he really installed personnel in the Maritime Service, so he knew the situation of the Maritime Service, and his younger brother Yuwen Wen didn’t hide anything from him.
So these mobs really occupied Jingkou under the leadership of Wang Jun, preparing to coerce Jiankang and negotiate with the other party?
What should I do if Ali’s great achievements?
Yu Wenming thought of his son Yu Wenli, and thought of the Pingchen Dagong whom he carefully planned for his son. He had already planned it almost the same. In a few days, he would issue a manifesto and then appointed Yu Wenli as the marshal of the army and lead his troops south to pacify Jiangnan. As a result...
Yu Wenming, who was confused, tried to calm himself down. He still knew about the recent incidents about Chen State and the whole story.
Previously, the Zhou ships had an accident in the Kuaiji County and Jiankang of Chen State. Yu Wenming received the report and sent Wang Shao to the envoy to Chen State for negotiations.
At the same time, Wang Yu and Wen Wen also reported to him, saying that Wang Shao, the admiral of the Maritime Navy of the Maritime Division, led a fleet to the coastal areas of Qingxu along the coast to demonstrate in the province of Kuaiji County, Chenguo. If the other party does not give a satisfactory reply, Wang Zhu would "appropriately punish" the other party.
When Wang Shao arrived at the capital of Chen State, Jiankang, Chen State made concessions and sent an envoy to Chang'an to explain.
Before returning to China, Wang Shao specially sent someone to Kuaiji County accompanied by officials from Chen State to send a token to Wang Wang, who was stationed in the outer sea islands. This was a certificate that had been agreed in advance, so Wang Wang knew that the imperial envoy had negotiated with Chen State to a relatively satisfactory result and could not "appropriately punish" Chen State.
Wang Shao and Chen envoy returned to Chang'an, and the deputy envoy Liang Pi remained in Jiankang, and Wang Fang's fleet should return to Qingxu.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenming continued to read the secret letter. What Yu Wen Wen said in the letter was that after the accident in Jiankang, the Zhou people who fled on a boat could not go upstream to Hongzhou, and could only go downstream to the sea, and happened to meet the Wangzhang fleet returning north.
So, Wang Jun made arbitrary initiative, fought undeclaredly, and launched a border provocation, and successfully attacked Chen Guo Jingkou!
Yu Wenming was a little annoyed when he thought of this. He was not sure if Wang Jun was secretly instructing him because there was no other evidence.
This incident was said by Yuwen Wen Feige's letter. Yu Wenming didn't know the specific situation, so it was difficult to doubt it casually, but Wang Jun's bold behavior made Yu Wenming very angry.
Even the chief official of Fang Town is not a member, a mere navy general, who dared to launch troops against other countries without permission without permission. Is it because you don’t have me in your eyes or King Bi’s eyes!
Yu Wenming got up and walked back and forth in the study, walked back and forth in anger for countless rounds before gradually calming down.
He knew Wang Xu. When he was studying at Lumen, the other party taught him as a bachelor of Lumen, so Yu Wenming knew about Wang Xu's life experience.
Wang Xu and his brother Wang Feng were both sons of the former Liang Shangshu Ling Wang Sengbian. Wang Sengbian was killed by Chen Baxian nearly forty years ago, and Chen Baxian established the State of Chen, so Wang Feng and the brothers of Chen had a grudge.
Then, maybe Wang Jun made a temporary decision, taking advantage of the fact that he had soldiers and excuses, he acted arbitrarily and launched a border provocation, and directly attacked Chen Guo Jingkou and succeeded, hoping to invade Jiankang to avenge his father?
Yu Wenming rubbed his temples and shifted his thoughts away from Wang Jun's motives. Now that things have come to this point, he must quickly think clearly and see what to do next, see if there is any way to make up for the loss, let his son seize the opportunity and pacify Chen Dagong.
However, Yuwen Wen requested in a secret letter, asking him to make a decision as soon as possible, asking the Hongzhou General Manager, Bozhou General Manager, and Xuzhou General Manager immediately to assemble the army, and took advantage of the opportunity of Wang Jun's advance to Jiankang and the Chen State's chaos to attack Chen and go down in one go.
Wang Jun went deep into the army alone and could not hold on for too long in Jiangnan. Once Chen State recovered, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would be gone.
Yuwen Wen communicated this shocking news to Yuwenming, which was due to the letter from Feige. The secret was not enough for outsiders to tell him. Therefore, the envoys sent by Yuwen Wen Zhengda Guangming would travel day and night to Chang'an, report this urgent military information to the court with official documents, and will arrive tomorrow.
When the news spread, the government and the country were in an uproar, and there would be little time left for Yu Wenming to make a decision.
The news that Wang Jun captured the Jingkou of Chen State may take some time to spread to the Hongzhou General Administration in the upstream, or to the Xu and Bozhou General Administration in Huaibei. Yu Wenming could not pretend to be stupid and wait until that time before sending troops.
As for how King Bin learned the news, King Bin explained it. Yu Wenming felt that time was too hasty now, and he would be in a hurry if he wanted to make arrangements for his son.
Yu Wenming's plan to deal with Chen Yongbing has been secretly doing it, so he thought his younger brother might not know that he had this plan.
The situation is urgent now. If he asked Yuwen Li to take charge of Nan Zheng, he would not talk about his brother's thoughts. If he acted like this, he would probably backfire.
For Yu Wenming, it was not impossible to immediately let his son go south to Bozhou. Xuzhou commanded the troops to attack Chen, but it was just that it was too hasty. If the fighter plane was delayed and he would not be able to make great achievements, he would be ridiculed. This was not good.
Yu Wenming was a little undecided when he thought about this. He was unwilling to let his son's great achievements go away like this, and he was worried that his son would have diarrhea after eating this bowl of rice with raw rice.
If the incident of Wang Xun's unauthorized attack on Jingkou was carefully planned by Yuwen Wen, then if he did not allow Yuwen Wen to take charge of the Nan Nanxing, it is unknown what the situation of the war would develop by then.
If Yu Wenli takes charge of the attack on Chen Guojiu, he will not be able to attack...
what to do?
Yu Wenming looked at the secret letter and couldn't make a decision for a long time. I don't know how long it took, so he sighed.
Chapter completed!
