Tamna has admired the culture of the Central Plains since ancient times, especially in the last hundred years, when the Yuan Dynasty set up a governor's office on the island, and since then Jeju Island has become the territory of the Yuan Dynasty of China.

However, in the 24th year of Hongwu 20 years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to return Jeju Island to North Korea in order to ease relations with North Korea and turn North Korea into a bridgehead to contain the Dongying Japanese invaders.

However, the inhabitants of the island do not have a sense of belonging to North Korea, they speak Tamna, Chinese, but not Korean.

Of course, in fact, the current North Korea also speaks Chinese, wears Chinese clothes, and writes Chinese characters.

Huang Yuan grew up in Yingtianfu since he was a child, and although he couldn't speak the northern dialect of Tamna, he had no problem communicating with each other.

As the liaison chief of the Admiralty, he served Zhu Zhanji only incidentally. The more important task is to become a bridge of communication between the various departments of the Navy, and to work in unison for the unified command of the army.

In addition to this, he also has to do a good job of logistics for the various departments, so during the landing period, he is the busiest one.

After arriving on the island, he was surrounded by the local natives, and they were moved to tears of excitement one by one. Among the crowds, he soon found the local disciples.

Tunai is a rank of the ruling class of Tamna, which is equivalent to a prefect. Tamna was a small area, and with the exception of kings and princes, it mainly relied on the inner territory to administer the territory.

With the help of this disciple, he quickly divided the people of Tamna into groups. After giving them enough dry food to eat, the young man was organized into the baggage team, which was responsible for pulling carts and carts and acting as guides.

Tang Jing, the commander-in-chief of the assault battalion, immediately dispatched a fine work after he went ashore and set up secret posts within a radius of 20 miles to prevent encountering the Japanese invaders fighting in the autumn wind.

Since the loss of the people on the island was not large, the Japanese did not dare to leave the county guard at will, and even if they came out, they were all a large number of people together.

Because if there are only a few dozen people, it is not certain who will live or die when you meet the locals.

It turned out that Tang Jing was a little overdone, but this move was by no means superfluous.

It took two hours for all the 13,000 men to be transported off the ship, each armed with his own weapon, and marshalled.

One hundred households battalion one car, ten of which were divided into ten by the local Tamna people, were responsible for transportation.

Only Zhu Zhanji's Yulinwei was equipped with 30 artillery pieces and had to transport gunpowder and projectiles, so the convoy was even larger.

After all the horses were formed, Tang Jing gave an order, Yulinwei was in the center, and more than 10,000 horses marched towards the east.

When all the men and horses disappeared and the sky was already dark, Zhu Zhanji and his fleet did not have to worry about the detection of the Japanese invaders, so they stationed themselves on the coast of the island.

The time of the attack is tomorrow noon, and they will start grouping tomorrow morning, and it is not too late to set up an encirclement and suppression position.

It was also at this time that the information of this day was sent to Zhu Zhanji again. The Japanese who were stationed in the county guard welcomed ten more thousand-stone ships today, which is equivalent to an increase of more than 1,000 people according to their establishment.

Zheng He and the others are also studying how to turn this increased number of troops into merits.

If it was before, Zhu Zhanji was still a little worried about Tang Jing and them, but now with Yu Linwei's 1,500 muskets and 30 artillery pieces, Zhu Zhanji has no worries.

The transition from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons is not only a quantitative change, but also a qualitative change.

No matter how ferocious they are, they don't hesitate to kill them, but when they can't get close to their opponents, they can only become targets.

When the army began to march, Huang Yuan sat on an artillery carriage, leaned against the wooden partition, completely relaxed, and closed his eyes.

He was so tired that he hadn't rested for a moment since last night. It would take at least four hours to get from here to the predetermined area outside the county guard's mansion, and he could get a good rest.

Zhao Yongliang, the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, did not ride a horse, this time it was expected to be a naval battle, and the fleet only carried less than a hundred horses, and it was still an honor guard specially prepared for the grandson.

With his qualifications, of course he can lead a horse, but even the commander-in-chief Tang Jing didn't ride a horse, relying entirely on two legs, if he rode a tall horse, what would it look like!

He is not willing to just be a commander, if he wants to make contributions, first of all, he should not be too special.

The guard Zhao Qian came to Zhao Yongliang's side and said, "My lord, you can also get in the car and rest for a while, this road is still long!" ”

Zhao Yongliang shook his head and said: "Huang Garrison is a liaison in the army, and he has not slept all night, and he has been busy all day. He took the opportunity to rest for a while, and rightfully so. As the commander of the Feather Guard, I can't degrade the prestige of our Feather Guard. Don't say this again, this little road is still difficult for me to ......"

A herald ran over, made a chest-beating salute and said, "Commander Zhao, the commander has your Excellency." ”

Yu Linwei, as the grandson's guard, did not have much contact with the various armies. It was also the first time he had received an order from other guards like this, so he didn't dare to be sloppy and said, "Please lead the way." ”

Because of its particularity, Yu Linwei was protected by the army in the middle, and Tang Jing was in the first half of the army, so Zhao Yongliang took a few of his guards and trotted all the way before chasing after him.

Tang Jing, who is in his early forties this year, was not wearing armor at this time, but just wore a green robe, lightened his burden, and strode forward like an ordinary soldier.

Seeing Zhao Yongliang catching up, he stopped and gave a military salute. Zhao Yongliang himself was one level lower than him, and now Tang Jing was the commander-in-chief, so he didn't dare to treat him lightly, so he hurriedly gave a military salute and walked forward side by side with Tang Jing.

Tang Jing opened his mouth and said: "Commander Zhao, I am leading 13,000 people today, and I feel a great responsibility. Today, although there was no one of these 10,000 sailors in the past, the training strategy of the sailors is roughly the same, and I can also know the combat strength of each department. Only Yu Linwei, as His Royal Highness's pro-army, is already capable. Now that I have the advantage of firearms, I don't have a detailed explanation of what the combat power is. His Royal Highness also ordered the attack front to be dominated by Yulinwei, so I specially sought out you to find out a thing or two. ”

The Shenji Battalion made great achievements in the Northern Expedition, fighting the Warat cavalry with infantry and still had an advantage. Since then, the rumors have been rampant, and the role of firearms has been praised to the sky.

And Yu Linwei is the elite of the elite, not to mention, the height of Yu Linwei's guards alone is more than half a head taller than that of ordinary soldiers, and they can be selected as the personal soldiers of the grandson, and they are stronger than other guards in terms of physical strength at least.

Zhao Yongliang adjusted his breathing, muttered for a while, and said: "Although Yu Linwei is strict in selection and well-trained, he is negligent in actual combat experience. If His Highness is here, he will not retreat from the time of the battle to the point of not a single soldier, lest His Highness be absent and his morale will not last long. Solid, using Yu Linwei to attack fortifications and serve as a pioneer is the best arrangement. As for the use of firearms, in Mobei, the last general had personally experienced that in positional warfare, the power of firearms was unstoppable. Although the last general is not talented, although Yu Linwei has only been changing clothes for a short time, he is also like a rainbow. ”

Tang Jing also heard the meaning of Zhao Yongliang's words, that is, although Yu Linwei is mighty, he still fights a little less, and there is no problem in gnawing hard bones and fighting against the wind, but I am afraid that it will not last.

Tang Jing also knew that this kind of evaluation was quite pertinent, and in terms of morale, the naval soldiers were far higher than the soldiers on land.

Because the soldiers on land can escape if they lose, but the soldiers of the navy will die if they lose. Even if you fight on land now, it is a foreign country, and if you are scattered, it will be difficult to go back.

So in terms of desperateness, the naval soldiers are more courageous.

Tang Jing nodded and said, "In this case, when you arrive at the predetermined location, Yu Linwei should take the lead in recuperating and waiting for the meritorious service at noon tomorrow." ”

Zhao Yongliang clenched his fists and said: "The last general must live up to his mission, if he can't expel the Japanese into the sea, the last general will come to see him." ”

Tang Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Fighting a war is not a momentary mood, even if there are small setbacks, but as long as the results are gratifying, it is a victory." If everyone is defeated and dies, how can there be a veteran of a hundred battles! As the commander of the First Army, Commander Zhao cannot speak lightly of life and death. ”

This is the difference between a veteran and a new general, and Zhao Yongliang also responded convincingly: "The last general will be taught!" ”

Towards midnight, the army of thirteen thousand finally reached a hill two miles south of the county guard.

At this time, it is already winter, and the temperature is cold. Most of the soldiers dug a pit in the ground with their broadswords and nested in the pit.

Some of them even found hay to cover their bodies, and many more leaned into the pit and ate some dry food, and then fell asleep.

The hundreds of Tamna were pitiful, with no warriors' thick cotton clothes and no knives to dig holes. Dozens of people could only curl up in a ball, eat fried rice and jerky issued by the logistics officer, and hug each other to keep out the cold.

On the Eastern Front, Zhu Zhen and Wang Jinghong, the eunuch accompanying the army, experienced a skirmish at dusk.

They blockaded the entire sea from the eastern part of Jeju Island, and happened to encounter two merchant ships that had come from Nagasaki to deliver war supplies to the Japanese invaders.

In order to keep it a secret, the two ships certainly did not let it go. After sending four warships to chase and eight speedboats to outflank them, they were driven away from the waters of Jeju Island.

After just a dozen cannons, the two merchant ships surrendered on their own initiative.

More than 100 people on board were detained on four main ships, and the fleet captured two thousand-stone ships with only minor damage, as well as two full loads of supplies.

These materials are all military materials such as hemp rope, tung oil, bamboo arrows, etc., which can just be used by the Ming army.

Although twelve warships were dispatched, the battle plan of the fleet of nearly three hundred ships was not affected. By the time night fell, all the warships had arrived at their intended positions.

These warships were combined into a tight encirclement, and there were dozens of warships dedicated to defending against ships from Dongying and North Korea.

When the herald ship arrived with the information that the Eastern Front Fleet had arrived at the predetermined location, Zhu Zhanji had already rested in order to prepare for tomorrow's big battle.

Zheng He did not alarm Zhu Zhanji, and now the general trend has been achieved, even if the Japanese have now realized that the situation is wrong, it is too late.
