Chapter 219: Coveting Jeju
Of course, Huang Sheng knew what was going on, and he accepted the kindness of his subordinates calmly, and took lotus incense and white peony to live in the 'Guangning', which was very lively, and all the officers and soldiers cheered when they saw the master of the family coming to the same boat with him, knowing that they would listen to his lectures and hear many stories.

Time is too precious, Huang Sheng was not idle at all when he sailed, took lotus incense and white peony to teach and educate people, and also conducted cultural examinations to educate his subordinates to be new soldiers with both civil and military skills.
After a few days of sailing, the Huang family's huge fleet arrived at Jeju Island in North Korea, an island known as the Hawaii of the East with an area of nearly 2,000 square kilometers and a million acres of farmland.
Huang Sheng had long had bad intentions, if North Korea still formed an alliance with Jiannu as recorded in history, he would have enough strength after a few years of development, and robbed Jeju Island, which is known as a gift from nature, as a punishment for the Joseon Emperor in the name of being an accomplice of Jiannu.
The climate of Jeju Island can be clearly divided into a continental maritime climate according to the change of seasons, with a large and dry temperature difference in winter, a humid and rainy summer, and an average annual temperature of about 16 degrees Celsius.
The fresh water and supplies brought by the Huang family's fleet are enough, and there is no need to come to Jeju Island to replenish at all, Huang Sheng came with bad intentions this time, his own sailor is growing, how can such a good place turn a blind eye, otherwise I am sorry for the descendants!
When the huge Ming fleet came, a general Li of the Korean naval division stationed in Jeju Port panicked, he didn't know the purpose of the Ming sent so many warships here, and he didn't dare to meet each other, and came to the dock to greet him with trepidation.
The Huang family's fleet was very unruly, ignoring the sovereignty of others, and directly entered people's ports, where there were also North Korean troops stationed and artillery facing the port, but unfortunately not a single bloody one appeared, and they didn't even dare to shoot warning shots.
General Li did not dare to defend the dignity of the country, and came to the 'Guangning' to meet the commander of the Great Ming Dynasty, Lord Huang Sheng.
Huang Sheng and Yan Yue Sedao informed General Li through an interpreter that the Ming fleet sailed to Japan to exterminate pirates, and stayed on Jeju Island for a day to replenish fresh water and fresh vegetables, so that the soldiers under their command could go to the island for a day of sightseeing, and then set off for war tomorrow.
How dare General Li disagree with the Ming army to go to the island for leisure, and agreed to Lord Huang's unreasonable request with a bitter face. Fortunately, he found that the Ming army was very friendly, everything was paid according to the price, and the soldiers who played on the island were also innocent, and he was finally relieved.
The Huang family soon had a detailed map of Jeju Island, and the sand table of Jeju Port would also appear in the General Staff Office of Huangjiawan Island.
After a day off and getting what he wanted, Huang Sheng happily said goodbye to the flattered General Li, this old man got a diora and two soap gift boxes rewarded by Lord Huang, and his bones were a few pounds lighter.
The Huang family fleet rode the wind and waves to the east, and when approaching the waters of the Japanese Goto Islands, the Huang family fleet encountered pirates. No, it was a group of pirates who had the misfortune to meet them.
Huang Mingli found three Japanese ships in the distance in the tall flagship command cabin, and immediately waved flags to inform the whole army.
He knew that the owner of the family did not ask the 'Liaodong' to participate in the first battle, but it was just the first voyage, and he began to bewitch Zhao Shimin to command the flagship to attack and try the new artillery, and he also said that what was the meaning of shooting at targets along the way.
The target will not escape and it is impossible to counterattack, and now there are just three large targets to test the gun, they are all alive, and it is more able to let us experience the killing effect of the flagship.
Zhao Shimin is not a person who is afraid of things, he rarely has the opportunity to experience actual combat, this time it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Huang Mingdao does not fool him to do it, he will also find a way to trick Huang Mingdao into taking the 'Liaodong' flagship to do a vote.
The two bad guys hit it off, anyway, the head of the family didn't give an order to let them be the audience, since Huang Mingdao is the commander-in-chief, everyone and the ship should listen to him in theory.
Zhao Shimin also put on his helmet and armor, holding the flintlock pistol issued to him in his hand, and put on a posture of shooting at any time.
He was an intellectual, the first teenager in the Huang family to learn to shoot guns, and managed the production of flintlock pistols.
Zhao Shimin has been practicing marksmanship every day, no matter how busy he is, rain or shine, he has fired thousands of Mini bullets, scrapped five guns, and his shooting level is not inferior to Huang Sheng.
Huang Mingdao was happy when he saw Zhao Shimin's eager look, and said, "Director Zhao, you seem to be nervous!" This is a naval battle, which is stronger than the ship's artillery, if you want to shoot and engage, we don't have to fight, just surrender! ”
Zhao Shimin's face turned red, and he quibbled: "Commander Huang, where am I preparing to meet the enemy by shooting, I am preparing to cover the soldiers under your command to rob the enemy ship!" ”
"Hahaha, that's good! Joyfully! Let's take those little thieves and try to grab them all the time! ”
When they were fighting, the Huang family's warships were not idle, the two No. 2 Fuchuan-class warships 'Liaoyang' and 'Haizhou' and the 'Gaizhou', 'Jinzhou', 'Fuzhou' and other eight grass-skimming ships did not join the fleet and wandered away in the periphery because they wanted to fight pirates and generate income.
The tall flagship was the first to discover the pirate ship, and the flag was sent to inform that there were three enemy ships, and after issuing the order to encircle and annihilate the whole army, the ten warships of the Huang family that were ready to attack at all times immediately broke the encirclement and went to the set goal according to the plan.
The three ships are not part-time pirates of maritime merchants, they are professional pirates who are fake, and they are waiting on the route today to see if they have good luck and meet merchant ships coming and going.
When they found that good luck came and could not be stopped, sure enough, when the merchant ship came, they suddenly found that something was wrong, and a huge sea ship appeared in front of them.
The pirates are dumbfounded, this is not easy to start! The pirates on the three ships shouted at each other, and decided not to rob this big guy who had never seen before, but who knew that they didn't appreciate it, and directly approached at full speed with full sails.
The pirates understood immediately,! People are ready to rob themselves!
They were not afraid, the enemy's ship was so big, as long as they escaped, they would not be able to catch up, the pirates did not hurry and began to turn the rudder, they did not know that the big guy had rifled guns that they had never seen.
I didn't know that because of their ignorance, they had unwittingly entered the enemy's range when they wanted to see the big ship up close.
When he found that the 20-pound rifled steel cannon could reach the enemy ship, he decisively began to shoot at an angle of 45 degrees.
With such a wipe, the enemy ship broke a few cables and dropped a hard sail, and the Zhuyin ship had a total of three hard sails, although the Huang family's first cannon had no damage effect, but it successfully slowed down the enemy ship.
This one-piece spherical and dumbbell-shaped cannonball is designed to deal with enemy ship masts, and after hitting the muzzle, it spins forward, and if it falls into the enemy ship, it will make a mess of the cable and mast.
By this time the flagship was closer to the enemy ship, two twelve-pounder rifled guns came into range, all three bow guns were fired, and six conjoined iron balls were spun onto the deck of the enemy ship in three pairs.
