Chapter 129: Turmoil

"It's almost there." Xia Jun's sailors were talking casually.

The confrontation between the Qing army and the Korean army in the south is on a small white mountain range.

This mountain range separates Gyeongsang Province from the plains of Jeolla Province and the Korean Peninsula. The Korean army relied on the mountainous terrain to build many fortresses, and with the firearms supported by the Xia army, it was able to block the advance of the Qing army.

Therefore, the pressure of the Qing army was pressed in one place, that is, Quanzhou.

The whole state is plain, and it is not far from the sea. As long as you break through Jeonju, you can avoid the Xiaobai Mountains and sweep through the two. If it weren't for this Xiaobai Mountain Range, the situation in North Korea might not have been maintained until now. And this time, the place that Nguyen Jin supported was Jeonju.

It's just this place in Jeonju, but there is a little problem. That is, he is not near the sea, but he is built near the river. The mouth of this river is the destination of Nguyen Jin, and he is going to camp here. If Jeonju could not be defended, Nguyen Jin supported Jeonju with gunboats and escorted the army out of Korea.

Ruan Jin then drew a circle on the map with a brush. The place that is circled is the whole state. Looking at the map, the further south the coastline of North Korea becomes, the more broken it becomes, and the more islands there are.

Ruan Jin has long been absent from the voyage, and Xia Junshui doesn't know how many times he has walked this route, so he doesn't have to worry about Ruan Jin at all.

"My lord," said a man who came over, "something seems wrong. ”

Ruan Jin glanced up, but it was Ruan Yulang.

Ruan Jin's headquarters is also a Zhejiang sailor. is basically when Zhang Xuan was in Ningbo, he defected to Zhang Xuan's team. Among these teams, there are too many relatives and friends of Ruan Jin. Such a situation is actually very common, after all, in the troubled times, many people are of the same clan and the same country.

Although Zhang Xuan has made a lot of adjustments, he has reduced the Ruan family's power among the Zhejiang sailors. But the Ruan family is still a big tree with deep roots among the Zhejiang sailors, and it is easy to be unshakable.

And this person's name is Ruan Ngoc Lang.

Ruan Yulang has a distant relationship with Ruan Jin, but among the Ruan family, there are few scholars who are very cultivated by Ruan Jin.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Jin said.

"Along the way, I found a lot of North Korean fishing boats, a few more." Ruan Yulang said.

Nguyen Jin's gaze also shifted from the map and said, "North Korean fishing boats? ”

Ruan Yulang said: "Exactly. ”

Ruan Jin immediately felt that something was wrong.

First of all, the large and small ships of North Korea were gathered by Nguyen Jin, for no other reason, in order to ensure that the North Korean ships were not gathered by the Qing army, so the slightly larger ships along the coast of North Korea were under the control of Nguyen Jin.

There are some omissions, but not too many. 、

Secondly, the coastline here is controlled by the Qing army, and where the Qing army passed, all industries withered, and I don't know how many people died. Even if there are fishermen, they are rarely able to operate normally.

Therefore, there are very few fishing boats along the way.

Third, even if there are some fish that slip through the net, what are the movements of these fishing boats that have seen the fleet from afar? It's right to stay away. After all, most of the time, there is no difference between a sailor and a pirate.

Even if it is a Great Xia sailor, the military discipline at sea may not be much better.

Ruan Jin said: "How many times have you found it? ”

Nguyen Ngoc Lang said: "Five times. ”

Ruan Jin immediately became angry and said, "Why did you just come here now?" ”

Ruan Yulang was shocked by Ruan Jin's roar, and immediately said: "It has been calm for many months. Xia Guan was a little negligent. ”

Ruan Jin didn't speak, and walked out in a few steps. Then he climbed onto the lookout, and with a sweep of his gaze, his gaze was fixed on a small boat.

But I saw a fishing boat haunting in the storm. Ruan Jin took the binoculars, and suddenly Ruan Jin's vision was much clearer, but he saw a black line haunting in the distance. Nothing else, a column of smoke.

Ruan Jin said: "There is a situation. Pass the order down and prepare the army for battle. ”

"Yes." Ruan Yulang said loudly.

Ruan Jin pondered silently, and said secretly in his heart: "If the Qing army really wants to ambush me, then it will be in the strait ahead." ”

The strait is not very wide, nor is it dangerous, but there are only two or three islands outside. If the Qing army wants to ambush, this is the best opportunity. "Hmph." Ruan Jin snorted coldly in his heart and said, "Maybe I thought wrong. ”

Ruan Jin also felt a little ridiculous.

Xia Jun's side is not unaware of the situation of the Qing army's sailors. But this era is not a later generation after all, even if Fu Shan is extraordinary, but it is only to find out that the Qing army has formed a naval division with the help of the Dutch, or Huang Wu as the main general.

During this period of time, it has been haunting the Bohai Sea.

And Ruan Jin also verified the news, Ruan Jin is not a fool, and he has quite a lot of combat experience. If not, they really couldn't find any trace of the Qing army's sailors, how could they be so lax.

In his mind, this was probably a spy of the Qing army, who wanted to grasp the traces of the sailor.

Even if they wanted to ambush, they didn't have the strength.

Therefore, although Ruan Jin was a little worried, he was not ready to change the voyage.

At the same time, the news also reached Huang Wu.

Huang Wu summoned all the generals he closed his eyes slightly, as if there were too many emotions surging in his eyes and then

When he opened his eyes, all the feelings retreated, and he only had a cold feeling, and said: "Now our situation, you also know, thanks to the grace of the regent, we have the current Daqingshui Division, but the daily consumption of more than 10 million, there is no trace of achievements to repay the kindness of His Majesty the Lord Regent." It is really undeserved that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been involved in defending us. ”

"And today, it's time for us to repay His Royal Highness the Regent."

"The army sets out, and there is no advance or retreat."

"In this battle, Lao Tzu, I also put my life on the line." Huang Wu pulled his throat, his hair was almost open, the green tendons were almost bursting out, and his accent changed from the standard northern official dialect to a Fujian accent, and said: "This battle, if you lose, Lao Tzu will not come back, I have already told Prince Ying, if I don't go back, except for reporting the battle situation with my token, anyone who goes back will be killed." and bring disaster to the family. ”

"Victory, everything, defeat, everyone come with me to meet the Sea Dragon King."

Among the generals below, whether it is the Fujian Yankees or the newcomers in the north, they all have serious faces, they all know that Huang Wu has not said big things, and they all know that Huang Wu's pressure is great during this period of time, and the DPRK and China have been haunted by the defeat of Huang Wu in the Yangtze River water battle.

Internal and external pressure, Huang Wu's almost crazy statement, is also a normal reaction.

Anyone knows that if this battle is lost, Huang Wu will have a good end if he dies, and if he goes back, the outcome is already doomed.

Huang Wu's old subordinates, naturally, want to advance and retreat with Huang Wu, they are all from Fujian, they are Huang Wu's team, and Huang Wu is a loss, a glory is honored, Huang Wu has an accident, and their old team cannot have a good end.

Naturally, I was desperately prepared.

Only those who expanded to the north cursed in their hearts, but they were helpless.

The military law of the Qing army was extremely strict, and even among the sailors, the military law of the Qing army was extended. If all the units of the Qing army dared to abandon the main general and withdraw, none of them would survive if one was counted as one, and even the lowest soldiers would have to be put into a separate book.

There is no way to end well.

These people are shuddering. But I had to follow Huang Wu desperately.

Huang Wu said: "Everyone has gone to prepare, whether it is life or death, before the sunset, we will see." ”

"Wow." The generals obeyed and said loudly.

Immediately, under Huang Wu's arrangement, the ships left one by one from the places where they had been anchored for more than ten days. The sails are unfurled, and the artillery pieces are doing the final clean-up work, each cannon exudes a metallic glow, reflecting the brightness of the sun, strong and cold.

Although the weather is high today and the wind and waves are calm, there is no visible wind and rain, but the shapeless wind and rain are gathering. It is precisely Jiangtou that may not be turbulent, and it is difficult to walk in the world.
