Naha Naval Port. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A group of sailors is boarding the ship, 3,000 warships and 2,000 warships, a total of nearly 30 ships, in addition, there are two ironclad ships "Suzhou" and "Wuxi", plus several 3,000 material transport ships.

Standing on the deck of the "Suzhou" and watching the sailors board the ship, Zheng Chenggong was in a surging mood, and did not think that he had just become familiar with and understood these warships when he became the commander of the Second Fleet, and in less than a month, he was about to go to war, and he was still in Hirado, Japan.

"Woo, woo......"

The whistle sounded, and the ironclad ship "Suzhou" began to slowly leave the dock and sail out of the Naha Military Port.

The operation is not only the Second Fleet.

North Korea, Port of Incheon.

At least ten 3,000-material transport ships are docked here, and there are several warships to escort them, and groups of Korean soldiers are neatly boarding the ships.

This is the Korean army that went to the Hirado domain to participate in the war, and since the conspiracy of the Japanese is unknown, then use the Korean army to take the lead and fight the other party's conspiracy.

At present, there are three Korean corps, namely the first corps, the second corps, and the third corps, of which the first and second corps are stationed in Inchon and Seoul, and the third corps is stationed in Busan, each corps has more than 3,000 people, all equipped with front-loading smoothbore muskets.

It was the First Army Corps and the Second Army Corps, totaling more than 6,000 people, who boarded a 3,000-material transport ship and set off from the port of Incheon to land in Hirado, Japan, as the first echelon, to carry out ground operations.

"Quick, quick, run forward!"

A North Korean officer was shouting loudly that the last group of North Korean soldiers had finally boarded the ship, and the 3,000-material transports began to leave the port of Incheon, aiming for Hirado, Japan.

Hirado, Japan, in the northwest sea, not far from the port of Hirado.

There was a large fleet here, many sail warships, large and small warships combined, at least fifty or sixty of them, the size of the large warships exceeded 2,000 materials, and the small warships were hundreds of sizes, and the size was uneven, as if they had been put together temporarily.

Yes, it was improvised.

There were both warships of the Hirado Domain and warships of other domains, and Tokugawa Iemitsu personally ordered them to be mobilized and unified under the command of Matsuura Jiro of the Hirado Domain, who was the son of Matsuura Kushin, the lord of the Hirado Domain.

Last time, in Korea, Zhang Feng wiped out more than 30,000 Japanese in one fell swoop, and even Tokugawa Tsunashige was killed, and the news reached the Tokugawa shogunate, and Tokugawa Iemitsu thought about revenge.

This was the reason for the fleet to drive Xu Liangyi in the Hirado Domain, and he wanted to provoke Zhang Feng and provoke Zhang Feng to come to the Hirado Domain, so as to destroy Zhang Feng's power, and this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu spent a lot of money to mobilize heavy troops in Hirado.

Zhang Feng did not know the deployment of Tokugawa Iemitsu, but Zhang Feng firmly believed that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies were paper tigers.

Matsuura Jiro personally led this huge fleet, which basically gathered the strength of the whole country of Japan, which made Matsuura Jiro very happy and proud.

There are so many warships, many of which are still big war ships, Matsuura Jiro has never commanded so many warships in his life, Matsuura Jiro led the fleet, patrolling this area, waiting for Zhang Feng's fleet to arrive.

Regarding Zhang Feng's fleet, I have learned a lot from the Satsuma Domain, and the Satsuma Domain also sent warships, and sent more than a dozen, of course, some of them are newly built, the fleet of the Satsuma Domain was beaten by Zhang Feng several times, and there are basically not a few left, plus this newly built, there are also more than a dozen ships, led by the retainer of the Shimazu family, the military general Maeda Hikaru.

On a large warship, Matsuura Jiro said lightly: "Maeda-kun, let's make a bet, I bet that Zhang Feng's sailor will be here in two days." ”

Hikaru Maeda smiled and said, "They weren't so fast, and I bet they would take at least three more days." ”

The two actually made a bet, they were too arrogant, in this era of backward news, they didn't know at all that Zhang Feng not only had a large number of warships, but also ironclad ships.

Maeda Mitsudao: "For Zhang Feng, we know very well, they have strange warships emitting black smoke, but the number of their warships is more than 20, less than half of our number, I suggest, once their fleet is discovered, outflank them, surround them, and sink them all." ”

"Yo Xi, Maeda-kun, this is a good idea, so it's decided, sink them all." Jiro Matsuura said happily.

Whether it was Matsuura Jiro or Maeda Hikaru, no one noticed that in the distant sea, there was a steam-powered reconnaissance ship, and at the lookout post of the reconnaissance ship, the captain Wu Di was personally reconnoitring the situation of the Japanese fleet through a telescope.

"Good fellow, there are fifty or sixty warships, this is a tough battle!" Wu Di was secretly speechless.

A sailor next to him said: "Captain, this is the only route to Pinghu Port, they are obviously waiting for our fleet to pass over." ”

"Let's go, go back, and tell Commander Zheng the news." Wu Di said.

The steam-powered reconnaissance ship turned and quickly sailed away from the sea, and about a hundred nautical miles away, a large fleet was sailing in formation.

This is exactly the second fleet that departed from Naha Port and sailed for several days to Hirado Port, Zheng Chenggong stood on the ironclad ship "Suzhou", feeling the speed of about seven or eight knots, and thought to himself, it is worthy of being a steam-powered ship, much faster than a sail ship.

At this speed, it is estimated that they will arrive at Hirado Port tomorrow morning, and the combat mission this time is very clear, Zheng Chenggong's task is to sink all the Japanese warships in the waters around Hirado, obtain sea supremacy in that area, and if necessary, control the entire Hirado Port, and clear the way for the follow-up landing force.

In the evening, when the sun was setting, and on the sea in the distance, a steam-powered ship drove over quickly, and when they saw this ship, many sailors knew that this was their own reconnaissance ship, and they should send traces of the enemy.

After coming over, Wu Di boarded the "Suzhou" ironclad ship and reported to Zheng Chenggong: "Commander Zheng, we have discovered the location of the enemy fleet. ”

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, and immediately a sailor brought a pair of nautical charts, Wu Di pointed to the nautical charts and said: "Their fleet is in this position, not far from Hirado Port, composed of about fifty or sixty warships, we have been observing there for a long time, and they do not leave there, as if they are waiting for us to come to the door." ”

Fifty or sixty warships, this number was directly ignored by Zheng Chenggong, although the number of enemy warships was nearly twice as many as his own, but Zheng Chenggong was not afraid, but a little happy, the opponent is strong, in order to show his strength.

This is Zheng Chenggong's first battle, Zheng Chenggong wants to win, and he wants to win.

"Pass the order, speed up the voyage, arrive in this sea tomorrow morning, sink all these Japanese, and don't take prisoners!"

What the!

Don't take prisoners!

Many people looked at each other, and completely felt the murderous intent emanating from Zheng Chenggong's body, and someone went down to give the order, and the speed of the voyage increased significantly, from the speed of seven or eight knots to nearly ten knots.

The next morning.

The morning sun shone on the sea, the sea view is very beautiful, this Japanese fleet is still here, on the deck of one of the large warships, Matsuura Jiro, Maeda Hikaru and others are drinking sake, enjoying the sunrise view.

In the eyes of these Japanese, their strength is unprecedentedly huge with so many warships, and as long as Zhang Feng's fleet comes, they will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Feng's fleet.

These Japanese are too arrogant.

It's like sitting in a well and watching the sky, and seeing yourself too high.

Japan implements a policy of closing the country to the outside world, the news is closed, the strength of the naval army is not very good, the warships are old-fashioned, and the artillery is also old-fashioned, compared with Zheng Zhilong, it is definitely not comparable, and it is even more incomparable than the Westerners, such as the Dutch and the Spanish.

It is even worse than Zhang Feng's steam-powered warships, and what about fifty or sixty warships, they still can't win in vain, they don't know how thick the sky is, and they are destined to pay a heavy price.

"Your Excellency Matsuura, Your Excellency Maeda, the other party's fleet has appeared." A Japanese sailor hurried over to report.

Hearing the report, Jiro Matsuura laughed happily and said, "Maeda-kun, you lost, their fleet came over, not three days later." ”

It turned out that the two had a bet yesterday, betting on when Zhang Feng's fleet would come, Jiro Matsuura would bet on two days, and Hikaru Maeda would bet three days later.

In fact, neither of them expected that Zhang Feng's fleet would come so quickly, and it appeared here early this morning, and was in tactical formation, heading towards this side.

Matsuura Jiro said loudly: "Pass the order down and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Some Japanese sailors hurriedly went to give orders, while Jiro Matsuura and Hikaru Maeda did not enter the command room for the time being, but were on the bow deck, watching the Second Fleet getting closer and closer.

"Maeda-kun, you see, the information you provided is very correct, they really only have a dozen warships, haha."

Mitsumi Maeda: "This time they are dead, we have fifty or sixty warships, much more than them in number, this time I want to see how we sank all their warships." ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, there was a loud bang, and both Matsuura Jiro and Maeda Hikaru were startled, and a relatively high position of the 3,000 warship took the lead in firing guns, and the first shot hit a Japanese warship not far from Matsuura Jiro's flagship.

The cannonballs exploded violently, the sound was deafening, and in the explosion, sawdust flew sideways, and several figures flew out and fell into the sea.

At this time, a large number of Japanese warships began to turn, ready to meet the enemy, and adjusted the sail angle so that the hull was facing the ships of the Second Fleet, so that these Japanese warships could open fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Several shells whizzed, most of them hit the target, and exploded on these Japanese warships, showing great destructive power, and as the 3,000-material warship fired the first shot, the rest of the warships began to fire one after another.
