The 1st Infantry Division, also not full, with more than 12,000 men, needs to be replenished with 6,000 recruits to be considered full, the recruits are training, it is estimated that they have returned from the Korean expedition, and those recruits have also completed basic military training and can be replenished to the divisions.

Zhang Feng was dressed in a military uniform, carrying a delicate command knife at his waist, and a revolver, the holster of the revolver was exquisitely made, and the cowhide holster.

Kong Qingjie, commander of the First Infantry Division, was on the dock with several colonel-level officers, waiting for Zhang Feng's arrival, and when he saw Zhang Feng, the commander of the First Division immediately walked over, stood upright in front of Zhang Feng, saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, all the personnel and equipment of the First Infantry Division have been on board, please instruct." ”

After all the boats are completed, then you can start the boat, Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Immediately, the target is Incheon Port, go!" ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the 1st Infantry Division had a loud voice, and his tone was full of joy and excitement. The 1st Infantry Division was expanded from the 1st Infantry Brigade, supplemented by thousands of veterans of various guard posts, with a total of more than 12,000 people.

The brigade was expanded into a division, and Wang Chaoyong no longer served concurrently, but was promoted from the former deputy brigade commander Kong Qingjie to the commander of the first infantry division, and the first infantry division must be a trump card.

Kong Qingjie knew that if he wanted to serve the public and establish his prestige, he had to fight a good battle and show his own prestige.

Without thinking about it, in less than a few days, the First Infantry Division had a combat mission, and it was still an expedition to Korea, and suddenly, Kong Qingjie became happy, and it only took one day to complete the equipment sorting, personnel pulling and other work, and another day to complete all the personnel and equipment boarding.

Kong Qingjie saluted, and took his deputy division commander and regiment commander to board an ironclad ship docked at the dock, and Zhang Feng also walked towards the "Shanghai" ironclad ship.

At the boarding gate of the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, Navy Commander Zhao Weibin and several people were waiting for Zhang Feng.

"Salute!"

"Hello Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhang Feng returned a military salute, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, everyone board the ship, right away!" ”

Everyone boarded the "Shanghai" ironclad ship together, the whistle sounded one by one, and the ships left Shanghai Port one by one, and then formed a formation on the sea, chopping the waves, and headed for Incheon Port.

Zhang Feng stood on the bow deck of the "Shanghai", feeling the slight sea breeze, looking at the huge fleet, a sense of accomplishment arose.

In the two or three years since the establishment of the navy, it has grown from thousands of people and a few warships to tens of thousands of people now, dozens of ships, three ironclad ships, and most of the rest are 3,000 warships, 2,000 warships and 3,000 transport ships have become supplements.

As for the previous 1,000 shippers, all of them had been given to Xu Liangyi's caravan and became the caravan's sea guard, often traveling back and forth with the caravan between Shanghai Port and Incheon Port.

Next to Zhang Feng, stood Zhao Weibin, Zhao Weibin said: "Commander-in-chief, after two or three years of development, our navy is equivalent to a shotgun for artillery, and it has a certain strength. ”

The navy not only has sailors, but also tens of thousands of marines, with 3,000 marines stationed in Incheon, 2,000 in Busan, 2,000 in Naha, and the rest stationed in Zhousan Military Port.

In Zhang Feng's heart, there is a grand blueprint, the navy is far more than such a small scale, Zhang Feng's ideal and goal is to establish a number of powerful fleets, to become the sea hegemon, the sea super hegemon that no one can shake.

However, if you want to develop into a superpower at sea, it is not enough to just have the title of chief soldier, so Zhang Feng is ready to fight for the world and achieve his own hegemony.

"Commander-in-Chief, there's a new situation that I feel compelled to report to you."

"Oh, tell me about it." Zhang Feng immediately paid attention, Zhang Feng had a hunch that the situation reported by Zhao Weibin was definitely not simple, so Zhang Feng made a statement of listening.

Zhao Weibin said: "Commander-in-chief, the situation is like this, all along, we have been training in the East China Sea, and we rarely go to the southern part of the East China Sea, but with the development and growth of the fleet, our scope of activities has also increased, sometimes we will go to the southern part of the East China Sea for training, and even as far as the waters of northeast Taiwan, we have encountered Zheng Zhilong's fleet several times. ”

For Zheng Zhilong, Zhang Feng naturally knew that Zheng Zhilong was a maritime merchant and pirate who was active in the last years of the Ming Dynasty based on the southeast coast, Taiwan and Japan (with the change of imperial court policy, the identity changed), and he was known for the armed maritime group he operated.

In 1633, Zhilong defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company in the Battle of Kinmen off the coast of Fujian, and since then he has controlled the sea routes and collected fees for merchant ships from various countries.

Zheng Zhilong has a strong sea power, there are seven or eight hundred large and small ships, of which there are not a few warships, and the number is also very large, he has defeated the Dutch, and even the East India Company does not dare to provoke Zheng Zhilong.

Zhang Feng immediately became concerned and asked, "What is the situation when our fleet and Zheng Zhilong's fleet encounter?" ”

Zhao Weibin said: "Commander-in-chief, there was no big battle between us and Zheng Zhilong's fleet, but there were several small frictions, and once both sides used artillery, but it was they who were unreasonable and fired the artillery first, so we were forced to return fire." ”

Zhang Feng said slowly: "One mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, I have a hunch, sooner or later there will be a battle between us and Zheng Zhilong, Commander Zhao, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Zhao Weibin immediately said: "One battle is one battle, I, Zhao Weibin, have never been afraid of anyone, even Zheng Zhilong, as long as I provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will crush him sooner or later." ”

It is a good thing to have confidence, but Zhang Feng knows that if he really fights with Zheng Zhilong, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose, because the other party has too many ships, what is the concept of seven or eight hundred ships.

However, if there is really a big war, Zhang Feng will not be afraid, just fight, retreat and forbearance are not Zhang Feng's character, just like this time in North Korea, Zhang Feng can't rub the slightest sand in his eyes, and immediately lead the troops on an expedition.

The fleet sailed on the sea, and a few days later, the port of Incheon was in sight.

Standing on the deck, holding a telescope, looking at the Incheon Port faintly visible on the distant horizon, this is Zhang Feng's second visit to Incheon Port, now, Incheon Port belongs to the big port, and the port is divided into two parts: civil and military.

The wharf is built with stone and cement, and next to the civil wharf, there are some large sail ships docked, and there are also steam-powered transport ships, and the military wharf is larger, which is just convenient for the docking of fleet ships.

"Commander-in-Chief, we're here!"

After several days of continuous sailing, I finally arrived at the port, and a huge fleet sailed over, dozens of ships, magnificent, and there were many people on the dock.

The men, coolies, and others who were working on the horses, were greatly shocked when they saw such a fleet, and they all stopped what they were doing, and their mouths were wide open, and they all looked at the sea in the distance, and everyone remained motionless, as if they were collectively frozen.

The soldiers patrolling the dock, seeing such a familiar fleet, suddenly many people cheered and shouted: "Look! Our fleet, our fleet is coming. ”

Three ironclad ships took the lead, followed by more than a dozen 3,000-material warships, more than 20 3,000-material transport ships, and a huge fleet, with great visual impact, was sailing over and began to dock at the dock.

There are too many ships to dock at one time, and the docking plan adopted is to dock in batches, and everyone disembarks in batches.

The ironclad ship "Shanghai" docked at the wharf, and after docking, Zhang Feng disembarked under the support of a large group of officers, and Zhang Feng once again set foot on the port of Incheon.

Looking at the huge and magnificent wharf, Zhang Feng said with satisfaction: "The construction of Incheon Port is good, very good, I am very satisfied." ”

In the distance, a large group of officers came, and the leading officer was wearing a colonel uniform, and it was Song Liangcai, the top person in charge of the Incheon Military Port.

Seeing the fleet coming, Song Liangcai guessed that it was estimated that Zhang Feng had arrived, where did he dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought a large group of officers over, first trotted all the way, the distance was close, walked over quickly, stood up and saluted, Song Liangcai said loudly: "Hello Chief Soldier!" ”

Zhang Feng returned a military salute, nodded, and Zhao Weibin next to him said: "From now on, you will be called the commander-in-chief, and you will no longer be called the commander-in-chief." ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Song Liangcai said loudly again.

Zhang Feng smiled slightly, and then asked: "Let's go, go back to the barracks first, I want to listen to your report, what is the current behavior of the king of Joseon, and how is the situation?" ”

Everyone walked towards the military camp not far from the military port, which is a large military base, hundreds of acres in size, with military camps, training grounds, shooting ranges, fortifications, lookout posts, watchtowers, and so on.

Song Liangcai led everyone into a large conference room, and after everyone was seated, Song Liangcai immediately introduced the latest situation in North Korea.

In addition, the king of Joseon mobilized 30,000 to 40,000 troops in the vicinity of Seoul, and these Korean troops were ready to attack Jang Feng's garrison at Incheon together with the Japanese soldiers.

After listening to the report, Zhang Feng said with satisfaction: "Colonel Song, the situation you have is still relatively detailed. ”

Song Liangcai said: "Commander-in-chief, you don't know, this information is mainly provided by Li Gaosheng, Li Gaosheng is the half-brother of the current king of Joseon, but he is a concubine and his status is not high. ”

"Oh." Zhang Feng became interested, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that this Li Gaosheng is very ambitious, and he sent me an order to call this Li Gaosheng over, I want to see this person." ”

"Yes!"

Song Liangcai immediately sent someone to inform Li Gaosheng to come, Zhang Feng wanted to see Li Gaosheng, it is estimated that Li Gaosheng will be very happy, and it is estimated that he will come over quickly.

……….

Today's two watches, the second one is sent! (To be continued.) )
