Chapter 519: The Koreans Evil Xianggong
"The Sprinkle family really doesn't want to get on the boat anymore." Ruda stood in front of the big ship again, complaining in his mouth, obviously the sequelae caused by the shaking of the boat were really uncomfortable, and even an iron-boned man like Ruda was also apprehensive. For Ruda, even the pain of a slash is much more comfortable than seasickness.
"Brother, aren't you going to die alone on this Tamna Island?" Shi Jin said with a smile as he walked.
Yue Fei stepped forward and said: "General Lu, don't worry, Xianggong has said, the feeling of seasickness will become lighter and lighter, and after taking the boat a few times, you will be completely adapted, and when you go to sea, you will be on the ground." ”
Hearing this, Luda glanced back at Yue Fei and asked, "Boy Yue, what you said is serious, why didn't my brother say these words to the Sprinkle family?" ”
Yue Fei smiled and nodded again and again: "General Lu didn't ask again, I just asked Xianggong, and Xianggong told me so." ”
Luda's face was also a lot more relaxed at this time, and his steps were also brisker, and he only said: "This time I went to Goryeo, and I heard Wu Xuexue say that Goryeo people also use our words and read our books, but I don't know what Goryeo looks like." ”
Yue Fei heard Luda chatting with him, and he was not in a bad mood, so he only replied: "Xianggong said that he went to rob, thinking that it was the Goryeo people who hated Xianggong, it is really not long-sighted." ”
Luda was puzzled again: "The Goryeo people have hated my brother? Why hasn't the Sprinkle family heard about this? ”
Yue Fei himself guessed the reason why Zheng Zhi was going to Goryeo to plunder, only thinking that the Goryeo people had offended Zheng Zhi, obviously Yue Fei still paid attention to a cause and effect relationship in his heart for military affairs, which was also a normal person's idea. Zheng Zhi acted like this, which naturally went out of the scope of normal people's thinking.
Zheng Zhi wants to take this Huaxia in another direction, to a direction where he can stand on top of the world. Thinking too far about many things that do not yet have a shadow is also due to the sequelae caused by the poor environment for the survival and development of the country in the previous life. Therefore, Zheng Zhi has an inexplicable congenital obsession with the environment around the country.
Shi Jin was also puzzled: "I haven't heard of this either, where do the Koreans hate my brother, isn't that prince disrespectful?" ”
Shi Jin guessed with Yue Fei, but Luda thought in another direction, and only said: "Maybe it's not the Goryeo people who have hated my brother, it's that Cangzhou is short of food." ”
The three of them couldn't guess why, and the generals on the left and right also joined in the discussion, and they were already on the boat, and they were idle, and everyone talked about it.
Everyone is energetic, but they are also eager to try, and many people are also extremely curious about Goryeo, which has been in China for generations.
One by one, the big ships approached the dock again, and most of the soldiers headed towards the ship with worried faces, all worried about the torturous dizziness and vomiting.
There are only 500 iron armor left on Tamna Island to garrison it temporarily, and there are countless Tamna people who have been requisitioned from all over the world, and they are beginning to expand the dock and the fort next to the pier. The fortress, which had been bombarded by artillery, was ready to be expanded into a military fortress capable of accommodating 10,000 people. In the future, powerful artillery will also be placed on the head of this walled city to block the sea outside the dock.
The calm strait is not narrow, and the distance from Tamna Island to the Korean Peninsula is 200 miles. In the winter when there are more northerly winds, the boat will most of the time go against the wind, and obviously it will not go very fast. In winter, the wind is mostly northwesterly, and Zheng Zhi traveled all the way from Cangzhou to Tamna, and the speed of the boat was extremely fast. But the way back is obviously slower.
Three large boats suddenly appeared on the sea, and although the boats were not on the boat built by Zheng Zhixin, they were much larger than the sampans used by ordinary fishermen.
A soldier rushed to the cabin and reported: "I would like to tell you that three boats have appeared on the surface of the sea, and it seems that they are not the sampans of the fishermen fishing. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Zhi walked out of the cabin directly, looked at the sea, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "How is the flag on this ship also a dragon?" ”
Zheng Zhi knew in his heart that the Great Song Dynasty did not have a naval division at this time, although the shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty was not backward, on the contrary, it was relatively developed. However, during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only a few government ships, not yet to the point where they could become sailors or navies. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the Song Dynasty naval division really began to build in large quantities, and it also emerged in the war.
But on the ship a few miles away, there was a dragon flag, Zheng Zhi was naturally a little puzzled.
There are always people looking at each other, the dragon is the symbol of the Son of Heaven, how can it appear on the sea?
But there was a person at the outskirts of the crowd who trembled and said, "Shangguan, this is the Goryeo Naval Master." ”
Zheng Zhi looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Wang Wen, which was a reminder, Zheng Zhi also understood, this Goryeo country had learned the things of the Han people very thoroughly, and the king also wore a dragon python, and the dragon flag was naturally also a symbol.
The Ming Dynasty has rewarded the Li family with the Korean dragon robe many times, the Yan dragon robe, which is also a five-clawed dragon. But there is a difference in the color of the dragon robe, it can only be red and blue, not yellow. The Yanlong robe is also the uniform of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, not the emperor's golden dragon robe.
"Boom him!" Zheng Zhi said.
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoer immediately headed for the shipbuilding, and the boat began to swing sideways after a while. The Goryeo sailor on the opposite side actually came to Zheng Zhi's side.
The cannon roared, and the sea in the distance made a huge splash.
Fighting at sea is no better than shelling land. The accuracy of the shells was also much worse, and when a salvo was fired, most of the shells fell into the sea, and countless splashes exploded, which was extremely beautiful.
Zheng Zhi frowned, knowing that his command had been misguided, although he could see a few shells hitting the enemy ships, they did not really cause much damage.
In the first naval battle, Zheng Zhi was also learning, and hurriedly said: "Stop firing, don't scare the enemy away, and speed up and rush over." ”
Zheng Zhi also summed up his experience in his own way, and when fighting an enemy without artillery, he should get as close as possible before firing artillery. Now there are only two ships in the world equipped with such artillery under Zheng Zhi, and this combat criterion will be used for at least three or four hundred years.
By the time Zheng Zhi gave another order, it was too late, and the three boats on the opposite side had already turned around and began to flee.
Zheng Zhi stood on the deck, and could only watch the enemy ship run farther and farther, chasing the boat against the wind, obviously unable to catch up.
But Zheng Zhi was not annoyed, but said: "Follow them and see where they go ashore." ”
After Ruan Xiaoer received the order, he hurriedly sent a sailor to climb to the top of the highest mast, this sailor was obviously the best eyesight in the ship, so that he could keep up with the enemy ship.
Zheng Zhi looked up and watched the sturdy sailor climb the mast, and he already remembered such a thing as a telescope. Without binoculars, it would be too inconvenient to fight at sea, like a fly without a head.
Telescopes are obviously not something that can be made so easily, but they are not that difficult either. The premise is that relatively pure glass can be manufactured. The polishing technique is not difficult, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of this era is enough to polish the jade. As for things like focal length, there is no need to calculate, just a general data that needs to be determined after trial and error.
The ship followed all the way, and finally saw the land, Zheng Zhi called Wang Wen to his side and asked, "Where is this?" ”
"Back to Shangguan, this is Mokpo, there is a small town on the shore, only a hundred miles away from Gwangju City." This Wang Wen is getting more and more honest.
Zheng Zhi naturally doesn't care if this person has any thoughts, as long as he is honest and easy to use. Probably Wang Wen also knew in his heart that if he was not honest and easy to use, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground like those people on the dock. The so-called prime minister in front of him is obviously not a good person.
Zheng Zhi nodded, and then asked, "Do you know how to get to Gwangju from Mokpo?" ”
"Know, know." Wang Wen nodded again and again, looking back at the ship full of iron armor, but his heart became more and more uneasy.
Zheng Zhi didn't say much, just looked at the land that was getting closer and closer, and the dock, and there were seven or eight boats on the dock.
When they got closer, the artillery rose again, and the huge flames roared incessantly, smashing the small pier of Mokpo.
The Koreans apparently did not have a strict ban on the sea, which was also the main source of food rations for this place surrounded by the sea on three sides.
In the distance, you can see countless people running on the coast, the shock brought by these cannons is too great, a cannonball hits the ground and beats repeatedly, a house falls in response, if it hits someone, it is a blur of flesh and blood, and even a corpse cannot be put back together.
Such a power beyond cognition, for those who have never seen it, is like a legendary demon law, directly crushing people's hearts.
After hundreds of shells flew out, the soldiers kept wiping the barrel back and forth with wet linen cloth to cool down the barrel, and the wooden pole tied to the cloth group also cleaned up the gunpowder residue back and forth in the barrel.
The big ship has slowly come to the shore, and the gangway to get off the ship has also been set up on the pier with thousands of holes. Groups of ironclad descended the gangway and then formed on the shore.
Zheng Zhi also went ashore, but he also ordered: "Hang a few small cannons down, find a carriage and take it on the march." ”
If you go to Gwangju, there will be a city, and Zheng Zhi wants to open the city gate with artillery. Zheng Zhi didn't want to say anything more to the Koreans, he just wanted to rush into Gwangju City, and after seeing it, he packed some things and immediately turned around and got on the boat to return to Cangzhou.
Although Goryeo is a small country, it does not mean that there is no army, and even the Goryeo people fought many wars with the Jurchens in the early Jurchen period. The Goryeo army was not without combat power.
Zheng Zhi just wanted to fight a small battle to try, and he also caught the Koreans off guard, and he didn't fight with the Koreans for a long time. At this time, it was not time for a real war with the Koreans.
The Japanese invaded the law of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the same way, landing at will, plundering, and then fleeing quickly. The reason why the rebellion of the Japanese invaders is difficult to cure is also here, and the battle between the Qi family army and the Japanese invaders can be seen to be difficult.
