Chapter 559: Dinghai Harbor

After departing from the port of Incheon, the continuum of six giant ships sailed south along the coastline of the peninsula, replenished supplies on Jeju Island, and continued north through the Tsushima Strait.

Along the way, the fleet that can be called a behemoth in this era made all those who saw him awe-inspiring, and made the princes and daimyo of the northern part of the Wa Kingdom more clearly understand who was the real master of this sea, according to Jiang Feng's personal guard in the later memoirs, it was said that Jiang Feng once whispered when he saw the Japanese port:

"I'll keep you ...... first"

This sentence is considered to be secondary, and there are many impassioned words in later generations to describe Jiang Feng's bold words at that time, and this sentence is prosaic, and no one has taken it as true.

Vladivostok, the northernmost ice-free port in the Pacific Ocean, was frozen for a few months every winter in a cold climate, but in March, there was no problem at all, bypassing Korea and continuing northward, and when it came to the east side of the peninsula, the sailors stationed in Cheongjin came to lead the way and led the way forward.

In this era, twenty years ago, Vladivostok was only a small fishing port for the Jurchen and Tunguska tribes, but this place was soon discovered by the reclamation manors outside the Guan, and after driving out those tribes, it was built as an important military port.

There are five medium gunboats and fifteen large merchant ships here, and even if the merchant ships have no trade, this number must be guaranteed.

Since Zhang Liang and Tie Dan came to Guanwai, the annual labor of the Han people, as well as most of the Korean slaves, was used to build a port from the hinterland of the reclamation manor outside the Guanwai to Vladivostok, as well as the canal near the Tumen River, probably more than 30,000 slaves were lost here, and finally relied on the simple roads of the former Mongols and Jurchen tribes to expand and build into a situation that is now beginning to take shape.

Every year, less and less of the grain outside the customs is sold to the customs area, and most of it is hoarded or consumed in the construction of infrastructure.

Some of the interesting things are that the roads leading to the Guannei outside the Guanxi are built in all directions, whether it is Liaozhen or the Mongols or Jurchens outside, they are not willing to repair the road, and sometimes they would rather make the road tattered and muddy, here is the idea of not wanting to spend money, but it is also the meaning of avoiding the smooth traffic of the other party's army, but after Huazhou arrived outside the Guan, Zhang Liang once sent someone to ask for instructions on the road.

Jiang Feng's reply was very simple - repair, Jiang Feng never thought that his army would be on the defensive.

Vladivostok can already be seen from afar, no, there is no such thing as Vladivostok in this era, and this port is not as important as hundreds of years later, Zhang Liang named him Dinghai. Dingbei, Dinghai, Yizhou, these names are not creative at all, of course, for these warriors, this is also rare.

After nearly half a month of only seeing the boundless sea every day, after a boring journey, I finally saw the harbor, everyone on the ship was drowsy, Jiang Feng and Liu Twelve and Luo Yi were discussing the situation of Daming every day, the three people's relatives were extremely bored and drowsy every day, that is, the first few days looked fresh, but the children were happy, but on the boat, no one dared to say whether it was safe or not, so they watched it firmly and did not let them move.

The lookout sailors on the mast raised their hands there and shouted at the people on board:

"Arrived at Dinghai~~~"

With a shout, the people below cheered, and this boring mileage was finally over.

The six large ships and the ships leading the ship all lowered the sails of the ship partially, slowed down, and the death of the fleet led the fleet ordered Ajaya to give orders constantly, the gun doors on each ship were opened, and the fleet was treated as a complete combat readiness.

This is not to blame for the caution of the Huazhou fleet, because Huazhou, Yizhou, Guanwai and Malacca, which are controlled by Huazhou, are too far away from each other, and the speed of transportation and information communication in this era is too slow, and there is actually a certain possibility of loss of control between each other, so there is no big mistake in being careful.

There were three loud bangs in Dinghai Harbor, and then several small boats rowed towards these big ships, and Jiang Feng's seat ship lowered the rope to lift the people below.

As a rule, the port should send an emissary to the warships before they can enter the port, but the merchant ships do not have to do so.

Jiang Feng and the others were resting in the cabin at this time, resting their spirits before going ashore, and suddenly heard someone on the deck shouting happily:

"My lord, my lord, can you see who is here?"

Jiang Feng felt a little puzzled, and came to the deck neatly dressed, but saw that Liu Twelve was already on the deck in disheveled clothes, and it was not his own soldiers who pushed Liu Twelve's wheelchair, but several sailors, obviously things were in a hurry, so he directly called the sailors to help.

There was a person kneeling there in front of Liu Twelve, Jiang Feng rubbed his eyes there, it was Liu Thirteen, it was unimaginable that it was Liu Thirteen kneeling there. At this time, it was the time when the brothers met, and both parties were very excited.

The true feelings between the brothers also infected the people around them, everyone's faces forgot the fatigue of this voyage, laughing together, Jiang Feng walked over slowly, at this time he was about to enter the port, and the ship was not bumpy, Jiang Feng was also very happy in his heart, Liu 13 because of what he did back then, in Jiang Jiajun's system, he was not too likable character, even after being circled by Jiang Feng in the 33rd guard for two years, everyone still felt that the punishment was not enough, and even his brother Liu 12 wanted to avoid suspicion.

Only Jiang Fengli insisted on using it despite public opinion, Liu Shisan was almost reactivated in a desperate situation, at this time, the previous edges and corners and dissenting hearts were all wiped out, and he smiled at Jiang Feng with a dead heart, if it was placed in the past, Liu Shisan led the army to lay down such a large territory in the north, and he must have the so-called idea of self-reliance in his heart, but this time he didn't care about the so-called Dingbei City garrison and the title of Governor of the Northland, he didn't take it to heart, and directly returned to the Guannei, and asked the reason was very simple, saying that he was unwilling to manage civil affairs, is only willing to fight for the king of Hua and for the general of the army.

Many people thought that Liu Shisan was deliberately high there, and no one took his words seriously, who would have thought that this Liu Shisan was really back. And it was even more unexpected to appear on this ship.

Jiang Feng's age is actually not too old compared to Liu Twelve and Liu Thirteen, and even a few years younger than Luo Yilai, there is a tradition in China, no matter what your ability is, if you are relatively young, then you can't suppress the scene, and others will think that you are not reliable.

However, Jiang Feng has never been like this, Zhao Xiucai, a person who is nearly ten years older than Jiang Feng, sees Jiang Feng, and also feels that he and himself are people of the same age, in fact, this explanation is more mysterious, after all, Jiang Feng traveled with a memory, and his age should also be added to his previous age, so Jiang Feng often looks at Liu Twelve and Liu Thirteen from an elder's point of view.

When he walked to the front, Liu Shisan had already seen Jiang Feng, and he didn't care about talking to his brother, so he hurriedly got up and walked a few steps, and knelt down in front of Jiang Feng again, kowtowing respectfully according to the number of courtesies, Jiang Feng smiled and helped Liu Shisan up.

Looking up and down, the young man who used to be arrogant and unruly was unusually calm at this time, his bronze face, and his skin looked very rough, which was witnessed when he was in the north, and when he was helped up, Jiang Feng could also feel that Liu Shisan's current situation was much stronger than before.

At this time, Liu Shisan really looked like a general......

Since it has been determined that there is no problem with the port, the ship has begun to raise its sails and march towards the port, Vladivostok is a natural harbor, as long as it is slightly renovated, it can dock the largest tonnage warship in Huazhou, Xianglong, which is also Jiang Feng's ship.

After a few simple words with Liu Shisan, he asked the Liu family brothers to communicate with themselves, Jiang Feng walked to the helm platform and looked at this northern port, in several key places on the wharf, there were fortresses made of big stones and rammed earth, and a thick cannon muzzle was exposed inside.

On the lookout of the fortress, the soldiers are looking at the sea, ready to fight at any time, and at the wharf not far away, it is very different from the eastern coastal cities of Incheon and Daming in Huazhou, and there is no lively scene at all, but there is a solemn and solemn military port atmosphere.

The boat docked, put down the pedal, Zhang Liang and Tie Dan and others had been waiting on the dock for a long time, seeing Jiang Feng's arrival, Tie Dan hurriedly waved his hand to the back, and suddenly the gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, several personal soldiers came down first, Jiang Feng was wearing light armor, carrying a waist knife, and the improved version of the Ming Domain's military generals were dressed in regular clothes, and walked off the boat proudly.

Counting it up, Zhang Liang and Tie Dan are both Jiang Feng's family, and after seeing them, they naturally feel different, Zhang Liang, the garrison outside the gate, is the highest military attaché, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and the officials and generals behind him all knelt.

At this time, whether on the ship or on the shore, all the soldiers, all the people were cheering loudly and shouting:

"My Huazhou Wansheng ~~~~~"
