Yan Changwu led a formation consisting of two fifth-class cruisers and four sixth-class cruisers, as well as two supply ships and four Daifuku ships, along the coast of the Korean Kingdom, receiving supplies from time to time, and the local officials and people along the way received them warmly.

Whether it is the people of the country or the horses of the country, the government and the people are vying to welcome and curry favor, so that they can get fresh drinking water, vegetables, and fresh meat for poultry and livestock.

What is commendable is that the Southeast Fleet had a kind attitude when it came ashore to visit, and in accordance with the principle of fair trading, it purchased the other side's materials at market prices, so that the DPRK officials and people made a small profit, and they were full of praise for them.

Some officials have experience, and they are even more hateful------- Houjin people are arrogant, they come to North Korea to forcibly extort, things are not counted, a little bad, it is beaten and scolded, not only scolding, but punching and kicking, and the officials who received it are miserable!

In contrast, the upper country is the upper country, and the quality is very good!!

Alas, it is a pity that Shangguo could not please in the war with the Houjin barbarians, and the North Korean officials somewhat hoped that Shangguo would win!

They have ideas on their side, and similarly, the officers and men of the Southeast Fleet have great feelings.

They anchored near the larger North Korean cities to resupply and organize tours

As a result, the Kingdom of Korea is far worse than my southeastern province!

The buildings in various parts of the Joseon Kingdom are low, even if the appearance of the city is far less than that of the ten towns of Taiwan in the southeast province, the streets are narrow and not counted, the goods are also very scarce, and the municipal construction is inferior.

North Korean people generally have vegetables on their faces, and they are obviously undernourished, resulting in short stature.

Needless to say, the clothes are all coarse homespun cloth, except for the high-ranking officials and nobles, who have satin.

Their military strength is very miserable, the west coast of Korea is a little better, the navy on the east coast is mostly small boats, there are few big ships, very thin-skinned kind, and the army is negligent in drilling, it looks lazy and spiritless, and the equipment is also very poor, there are not many small cannons, there are not a few arquebuses, bows and arrows, hehe, small bows and arrows, the navy is generally equipped with knives and guns.

Can this fight a water war?

If you are not afraid of being bad, you are afraid of comparison, after everyone has seen it, they love their Southeast Mansion even more!

The kingdom of Joseon has been in place for hundreds of years, and our southeastern province has only been established for a few years, a difference of dozens of years, but what have we achieved!

There is no need to compare with the Korean Kingdom, even with the mainland, and many places on the mainland are not as good as my southeastern province!

It is true that we cannot compare with us in many aspects such as the mainland's humanities and culture, productive forces, and buildings, but the people's lives, the southeast province is really better than the ordinary people on the mainland, and with the strength of the army, we can now boast: We have done a good job!

A sense of pride arose in everyone's hearts.

……

In the waters off Pusan, the Kingdom of Korea, a merchant ship from the southeast province stopped and waited there, and then sent a small boat loaded with several people, and sent two dwarfs to the flagship.

Originally a Japanese national!

They are all big cake faces, small legs, small eyes, and they are not more than one meter five, everyone should look down at them (there is no slander against them, until 19OO AD, the body of the Japanese people is very short, the reason is very simple, and the nutrition is not available), and the arms are unusually thick, almost as thick as their radish calves.

They are two brothers, Yamaki Dairo and Yamamoto Lang, from Wada Town, Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, southern Edo, a historic whaling fishing village in Wado Province, where the locals are skilled in whaling and slaughtering whales, and whale meat is one of the staple foods of the locals.

The country is a small place, and there are not enough fields, so there is no place to raise cattle, sheep and livestock, so they have to eat more fish and meat.

The reason why Yamaki Dairo and Yamamoto Lang were favored by the Southeast Province was that they were good whaling players, so they were lucky enough to be selected to help Kamikuni in whaling.

Wakoku has a long history of whaling, and in Wada Town, for example, southern mallet whales come to feed near the Boso Peninsula in Wada Town every June, and the local fishermen are busy hunting until September.

However, most of the whaling in the Wa Kingdom was inshore, and there were few ocean-going operations.

When they went up to the flagship, they immediately knelt down to Yan Changwu, and Yan Changwu comforted them through the translator, asking them to show their skills to help the army kill whales, and they had a heavy reward!

The brothers kowtowed sincerely, and the people of the kingdom were generous, and the wages they gave were enough to buy their lives, and they brought knives and guns, how dare such high-rollers offend!

They brought with them the guys who ate: the whaling fork and the whale axe, the former for whaling and the latter for slaughtering whales.

The formation had been going north, having left the confines of the Korean Kingdom, and they saw the boundless land on the other side of the coast, and also saw dense forests, all coniferous forests, and a sea of green as far as the eye could see!

There are also countless birds and animals hidden in the woods and rivers flowing into the sea.

It's all the way to this scene, and others don't say anything, just "It's very rich!" Some people said, "It's cold, and people will freeze to death in winter!" ”

Yan Changwu was unhappy, because he knew that this vast and infinite wilderness was originally within the scope of my Greater China, and those areas also had traces of Ming Dynasty officials, and the Ming Dynasty set up Nuergandu to command the envoy in the Telin area on the other side of the mouth of the Xiangluan River (the mouth of the Amgun River), and governed the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, including Sakhalin Island in the further north, and once set up a guard post, and the tribes on the island sent an official Nagong delegation to the Ming government.

Later, when the old wild boar skin rose, this area was taken over by him, and the takeover was just enough, and finally ceded to Lao Maozi......

There is no need to mention the sad past, now that Yan Dashao is here, he thinks that he has the responsibility to defend the territory, and he must not lose an inch of territory!

……

The fleet sails, with charts along the way!

The geographical distribution of the sea area and the depth of the water are clearly marked, allowing the fleet to sail safely according to the map and there are no leaks.

Moreover, the distribution of people on the shore and the geographical situation are also drawn, and the fleet can send people to go ashore at intervals to fetch water, and by the way, shoot some birds and beasts and make tooth sacrifices.

Everywhere you go, there is no need to worry about enemy attacks.

In such a smooth sail, the hydrogeological exploration brigade set up by Yan Changwu was divided into two brigades, north and south, belonging to the military establishment, sailing all the way to the north, and the farthest point has been exploring in the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka Peninsula north of Sakhalin Island, and the southernmost has been active in the Strait of Malacca!

In the name of trade, they were actually spy ships, and each brigade had only two ships at first, but the number of ships and funds increased year by year, and so far each brigade had 10 large ships and more than 10 small boats, so that the fleet always had a nautical chart to follow, which became one of the reasons why the senior officers were convinced of Yan Changwu.

There's nothing better than having a chart on an ocean voyage!

Not only that, because it was the boss who sent it, the hydrogeological exploration brigade specially sent Huo Yonghe, the captain of the ship who had traveled many northern routes to Kamchatka, as the pilots of the fleet, and guided them to the Japanese stronghold at the southern tip of Sakhalin Island smoothly.

Yes, the Japanese are already operating on the southern tip of Sakhalin.
