Time: Three days after the "Barracks Secret Appointment". Location, Dengzhou Shuichengguan Wharf.

At this point in time, the Yamen, the governor of Denglai, located on the Shandong Peninsula, had already received a military intelligence report from the capital: In the battle of the Daling River, the army was defeated, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, and less than half of those who fled back to Jinzhou.

Sun Yuanhua, who received the military intelligence, was surprised at first, and that was all. After all, they have lost too much over the years, and everyone is quite calm about the East Capture affair now.

Of course, even if there is no turmoil in his heart, the normal work still has to continue, so Sun Yuanhua urgently convened Sha Zhengming, Kong Youde and other generals to discuss.

In terms of the overall situation, Dengzhou's group of flanks + partial division combination of the Southern Navy actually didn't care about the defeat outside Guanwai in private, because the main battlefield didn't do anything about their side factions.

Even Sun Yuanhua, who has a close relationship with the Donglin Party, is at most sorry for the country. After all, playing politics requires talking about factions, and the Xu Guangqi-Sun Yuanhua faction belongs to a small Christian faction in the DPRK and China, and has no intention or ability to meddle in any major affairs in the DPRK and China.

And the traverser who had long known about the defeat outside the pass could only pretend to be surprised and shout at this time: "Junmen, we will go to sea immediately to help the pass!" ”

That's what Sun Yuanhua wants.

In this era, the transmission of information was slow and the transportation was inconvenient, and according to common sense, it usually took several months for the southern Qinwang army to reach the north, so it was impossible for the imperial court to set a specific time for the Dengzhou partial division.

In other words, today's so-called tension is actually pretended by all parties participating in the meeting...... Always be politically correct.

However, from a personal point of view, it is also necessary to go to sea now.

After all, Sun Yuanhua has already received the military information, and the fleet that crosses the crowd has been repaired in Dengzhou for a few days.

So Sha Zhengming yelled, which happened to roar in Sun Yuanhua's heart: he just climbed these military heads to make trouble.

Seeing Sha Zhengming say this, Lao Sun hurriedly twisted his beard and nodded: "Well, there was a big defeat outside the Guan, and now Zu Dashou is still struggling to support and wait for help in Linghe, and the situation is critical." Several generals were ready, and in the opinion of their own officials, it was necessary sooner rather than later. Generals, please send troops quickly! ”

"The Last General's Order!"

Sha Zhengming got up to receive the order, and the generals of Dongjiang, who had already done the work, naturally also got up and responded to the order.

In this way, a tacit military discussion by all parties came to an end.

The next step is the standard process: Farewell to the Governor? On a colossal scale? The dock poured wine and swore to go on the expedition.

Is this a must-go procedure? Will Sun Yuanhua have a fold later? In order to tell the court with great fanfare: My side has started to act, and the Dengzhou ministers are working hard!

So? This is how the fleet loaded with grain and groceries set off...... Oh yes, and the soldiers: Kong Youde 1500 elite? Twice as many soldiers as in history? 800 horses less.

Everything is in the midst of the traversal plan.

——————————————————————————

If you go to sea from Dengzhou, it is very close to the hot spots of Lushun, Liaohekou (Panjin) and even Dongjiang Town on the opposite side of Bohai Bay. For example, the nearest Dongjiang Town General Army Station, Lushun, is less than 150 kilometers away from Dengzhou, for a fleet with an average speed of 4 knots? One day and one night? You can see the coastline.

However, after Kong Youde went to sea in the fleet of traversers this time, he quickly lost his way.

This is not usually the case. The small boats in Dongjiang Town often pick a calm day and go south, and they can float to the Shandong Peninsula by sight.

This time, just go to sea? The flotilla first went straight east, then north, south, east? Turning around and leaving the coastline references? Soon it was not known where the fleet was in the sea.

Not only are they lost, but the natives can't even predict the approximate speed of the voyage: the fleet sometimes emits black smoke? Ignoring the flow factor? Fast and slow? passenger

In addition, the weather at sea was bad in the past two days, with some winter rain from time to time and thick clouds in the sky, so Kong Youde was surprised to find that he had now lost even the general position of the fleet...... Is it in Shandong, or in Goryeo?

After comprehending the powerful Kong Youde, he could only bow his head and go to the war room to learn advanced experience as before.

It's good to go through the crowd: never hide your secrets.

After learning of the indigenous intentions, Sha Zhengming smiled and assigned the navigator to temporarily guest instructors to explain the most advanced nautical positioning to the students.

By the time the students finally understood the meaning of the lines and symbols on the charts, it was already the next morning. At this time, someone suddenly slapped his thigh: "So, isn't this Hiroshima Island?" ”

"It seems that this general has graduated!"

The students ran out of the cabin in an instant. Look at it again, oh, the island as far as the eye can see, isn't it the Hiroka Island that everyone is very familiar with!

Guanglu Island is off the coast of Dalian, and later fell under the jurisdiction of Changhai County.

Changhai County is the only island county in Northeast China and the only island border county in China. It is located opposite the Korean Peninsula and is the closest area to Japan and South Korea in Tohoku.

In the 17th century, the five large islands under the jurisdiction of Changhai County and the surrounding Phi Island (present-day Linden Island in North Korea) were combined to become the famous "mainland" of Donggang Town.

At this moment, the crossing fleet located off Hiroshima Island has begun to drop anchor and sail one after another, preparing to enter the port one after another.

In the Liao general's thoughts, it seems that the fleet should go directly into the Bohai Bay and go to the mouth of the Liao River to try to land. No matter how bad it is, he should go to Lushun and contact Huang Long, the current chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, to discuss the landing from the first line of Lushun Jinzhou.

What the hell is it to come to Hirokashima?

A Liao general naturally didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourds, and it was not easy to open his mouth to ask directly, so after they found out that the fleet had come to Guanglu Island, they found Sha Zhengming and the two who were watching the scenery and laughing on the ship's floor, and they started talking and walking.

Li Jiucheng, who has obviously been a lot more confident since the secret appointment, smiled when he met: "Two adults, so interested!" Speaking of this Guanglu Island is also a beautiful scenery, after going ashore, Lao Li I am the landlord, and I will definitely attract distinguished guests! ”

"The old irons are here!" Since the signing of the secret agreement, the two forces have become more and more familiar, and the names have been changed to homely.

After saying hello, Zhang Zhongqi pointed to another island about a dozen miles southeast of here, and asked with interest: "Lao Li, do you know where that place is?" ”

Li Jiucheng thought to himself, aren't you teasing Lao Tzu, a big fart place, a few islands, how many years has Lao Tzu been there, can you not know?

So he smiled and said: "That place is Zhangzi Island, there is no interest, and the brothers just catch some seafood to live on weekdays. ”

Li Jiucheng replied so casually, but he didn't want Zhang Zhongqi to say something that made him puzzled after he went back: "Lao Li, although we haven't been here, I know that it's not easy to have seafood here." ”

"Oh? Isn't it easy?"

Zhang Zhongqi leaned over his face, and said mysteriously: "The scallops here have feet, and at the end of the year, they will take their families and travel to the Wa Kingdom, and they will return in the next year!" ”

"Oh...... That's right...... Adult Takami! ”

Li Jiucheng looked confused and responded stupidly.
