"Meet the Prime Minister!"

The voices of the greetings came and went. The Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun had already rushed to the front to wait, as well as the craftsman Feng Hui.

Zheng Zhi didn't say much, and asked, "Where is the horse carrier?" How much can you transport? ”

Feng Hui hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Prime minister, the horse ship is the southernmost one, and the sea route is not far, and it can be transported for eight hundred." ”

Feng Hui's words also revealed the meaning, that is, the maximum transportation for short distance is 800, and the long distance should be less transportation, so that the horses can have room to move.

Zheng Zhi nodded, and asked again: "How many days will you go to Tamluo?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer stepped forward and said: "Back to Xianggong, with the current sea conditions and the north wind, the boat can go sixty miles in an hour, and sometimes there is no wind, so it will be slower, and it will be possible to reach Tamna Island in about three days." ”

Zheng Zhi is also calculating in his heart that walking sixty miles in an hour is about fifteen kilometers in an hour, which means that the fastest speed is less than ten knots. One section is the speed of one nautical mile per hour, which is about 1.8 kilometers per hour. Ten knots are about 18 kilometers per hour. Fifteen kilometers per hour, only a little more than eight knots.

Ancient sailboats could have a speed of twelve or thirteen knots at the fastest. After such calculations, Zheng Zhi already knew that his sea ship still had a lot of room for improvement.

Zheng Zhi was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Is all the grain and grass on the boat?" ”

"Xianggong, the grain and grass have been put on the ship, and there are still a few cannons being lifted, and after the cannons are on the ship, you can set off." Feng Hui replied.

Zheng Zhi slowly took off the iron helmet on his head, and asked again, "How long will it take?" ”

"Xianggong, an hour is enough!"

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone starts to board the ship, the artillery is hoisted, set off immediately, time is pressing, and strive to return within seven days!" ”

The soldiers galloped away, and Zheng Zhi walked towards a simple building on the dock, where he could escape the cold.

The Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun were also busy, with eight large ships and hundreds of sailors, most of whom were recruited from the nearby coast, and some from the Jiangnan wharf. Until today, it is the first real expedition, and the Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun seem to have waited for a long time, before they were all transporting food, and now is the time to make contributions.

The four of them have long made the operation of the artillery clear, and the two large ships with more than a dozen guns are obviously invincible weapons in this era.

This was also the first time that Zheng Zhi's artillery participated in the battle.

The white sails slowly lifted, and the ropes fixed on the pier were untied.

Zheng Zhi stood next to the bow cannon, his heart was also full of hope, Zheng Zhi didn't need to go to Tamluo in person, but Zheng Zhi couldn't help the throbbing in his heart, and couldn't help but come to see the beginning of his journey in the boundless sea.

It's just that this beginning doesn't seem to be perfect, thousands of men who have been running on land all their lives can't immediately adapt to the shaking of the waves.

There were all the people, all of them had unbearable headaches and vomiting.

Day and night alternated, and it slowly eased, but it was still vague.

It wasn't until the third day that the men were able to keep what they had eaten in their stomachs.

Tamna Island is right in front of you, and in the north of Tamna Island, there is a simple wharf.

On the pier, there is also a fortress, Zheng Zhi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the shouting Tamna people on the shore, most of them were dressed in gray and white clothes, and their heads were hastily tied in a bun.

Ruan Xiaoer was beside Zheng Zhi, his eyes kept staring at Zheng Zhi, only to hear Zheng Zhi speak: "Use artillery bombardment, bombard that fortress!" ”

Ruan Xiaoer quickly went to the back of the boat, and the rudder was behind the boat. Orders were given quickly, and there were flag bearers waving their flags from above. Countless boatmen and sailors began to change the direction of the sails, and Ruan Xiaoer also kept turning the rudder.

The two large ships with cannons slowly turned their hulls sideways, revealing the black holes of the ship's guns!

The black gunpowder was taken out of the barrel, poured into the barrel of the black hole, and stabbed with a wooden pole holding the cloth, and the pitch-black iron projectile slipped through the muzzle.

Zheng Zhi also went from the bow to the stern platform, Ruan Xiaoer looked at Zheng Zhi with the rudder in his hands, just waiting for Zheng Zhi's order.

All the soldiers came out of the cabin and went to the deck to see how powerful Zheng Xianggong's cannon would be.

Zheng Zhi's arm swiped down in the air, and Ruan Xiaoer shouted loudly: "Release!" ”

Loud popping sounds, huge fires, thick black smoke.

Zheng Zhi's eyes stared straight at the small fortress behind the dock on the shore. Tamna originally had a Tamna kingdom, but it was destroyed by Baekje and now belongs to the Goryeo Dynasty. The inhabitants of the island have long been Goryeo, and Zheng Zhi has already invaded the Goryeo Dynasty this time.

More than thirty fiery iron balls flew out for miles and smashed on top of the fortress guarding the docks, and the people on the fortress were still looking at the huge ships that appeared on the sea, and still guessing about the origin of these ships.

With a few loud bangs, the fortress was smashed to pieces, and there were shouts and blood everywhere, and later generations of Koreans always liked to beautify their history. But most people don't know that Goryeo has always been a groveling nation, subservient to the Han people, to the Khitans, to the Jurchens, to the Mongols, to the Manchus, and to the Japanese.

This people, invaded and ruled by all its neighbors, has never decided its own destiny. Until the first half of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it was so poor that the whole nation could only wear gray linen, and even officials did not have a few pieces of silk.

Even the Japanese have their own emperor, and on the Korean Peninsula, there has never been an emperor, only a king, a king who is subject to the emperor.

Strong low self-esteem brings blind self-esteem and unlimited self-confidence.

Zheng Zhi's methods are bloody, maybe Zheng Zhi does not have so much time and energy to deal with these things slowly, the ship is strong, and the negotiation is redundant, Zheng Zhi wants this island of nearly 2,000 square kilometers to settle more than one million party members.

The Korean people know Chinese characters, and the Korean people have been using Chinese characters since ancient times, and the so-called Korean language has only been used for decades in later generations. The history of the Goryeo people is recorded in Chinese characters. However, the Goryeo people of later generations could not read their own history, so they had no burden to fabricate it, and they were more free to do what they wanted.

Zheng Zhi was quite satisfied with the power of the artillery, at least the fortress in the distance had been bombed into ruins. Zheng Zhi was only satisfied, but the people on several large boats were dumbfounded, more than 30 cannons, firing several rounds of salvos, actually smashed a fortress into ruins, and many shells did not hit.

This kind of power is beyond everyone's imagination.

Countless Tamna people on the shore cried and ran inland, and this inexplicable blow shattered the hearts of these people like ghosts.

Zheng Zhi had already opened his mouth and ordered: "Stop, dock and land!" ”

These gunpowder and projectiles are scarce, and Zheng Zhi is reluctant to waste more. Ruan Xiaoer began to get busy again.

The dock was so small that only two large ships could dock at the same time. The big ships could only take turns to dock, and the soldiers went ashore in waves, without hindrance. The docks were empty.

"Damn, I feel like the ground is shaking when I go ashore!" As soon as Ruda stepped on the dock, he complained, and his body swayed a little, as if he really couldn't stand the pain of sailing, even if he went to sea twice, he still couldn't get used to the rocking of the boat.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight." Shi Jin said with a relaxed face.

Yue Fei looked excited, did not complain, on the contrary, he thought it was quite interesting, looked back at the big ship behind him, and said with a smile: "General Lu, Xianggong's ship is really powerful, with such a cannon, it is invincible!" ”

Luda nodded when he heard this, but turned to the east, looked at the sea in the east, stretched out his finger and said: "My brother told the Sprinkle family back then that there were Dongying Japanese people in the east, and the territory was very large. I think I'm going to go there in the future. ”

Shi Jinyue Fei and the generals on the left and right all looked in the direction pointed by Luda.

At this time, Zheng Zhi had just disembarked, and when he heard Ruda's words, he said: "The emperor of the Japanese people dares to call himself the emperor, and he will definitely go to see what this emperor looks like in the future." ”

Han Shizhong's face was furious, and he scolded when he opened his mouth: "Straight lady thief, even my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty also claims to be the Son of Heaven, how dare the Japanese people call themselves the emperor, how can it be reasonable, the prince will take me to wait for a while, you have to kill this guy." ”

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this, and didn't talk much about this topic, now Hebei is in a hurry, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the Japanese emperor, so he just said: "Send scouts out quickly, the coastline of this island is five hundred miles, both horizontal and vertical, and there are high mountains and hills, which can be regarded as an excellent place." When the scouts go out, remember to make a map to find out where the road is going and where they live. When the scouts return, the army rises again. ”

When the generals on the left and right heard this, they had already gone to gather their soldiers, and when the horses disembarked, the scouts would have to send out more than a few hundred people. We must survey this island first.

Tamna Island is a volcanic island with a high mountain in the center, 2,000 meters high. The closer you get to the coast, the flatter it becomes, and the place where you live is naturally close to the coast, and there are mountains and grasses on the road, which can be planted, hunted, and grazing in small areas.

The island is located at the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula, above the Yellow Sea, not far from Japan. Obviously, it is an important place in East Asia, and the Korean Peninsula is also high in the north and low in the south.

It is extremely convenient to control Tamna Island, go to Japan and go to the Korean Peninsula, and use this as a springboard, and East Asia will be under control.

After the army landed, they set up camp, except for the scouts who went out, as soon as the men and horses came ashore, they all had to breathe a sigh of relief, eat, drink and rest.

By the evening of the second day, the scouts slowly returned, and the situation on the island became clear, and the entire large island was inhabited by less than 60,000 people. Zheng Zhi didn't expect this, he thought that he would go on a killing spree to make room for the party members, but he didn't think that he didn't need to spend more time.

But killing still has to be killed, and the people in power on the island, the officials of the Goryeo Dynasty, naturally can't let go.

Zheng Zhi stood on the seashore and looked to the north, to the north is the Korean Peninsula, Zheng Zhi's heart throbbed again, he wanted to take a look at the other side to see what this Goryeo Dynasty looked like.

The army rested for a day and a night, and when it was nightfall, all the generals held a simple meeting in the tent, and went to rest until the next morning.
