"Woo~~Toot~~"

The dull sound of conch resounded through the estuary of Hebeichuan, the huge stone anchor at the stern of the Jinfeng on the pier slowly exposed the water, and the whole ship opened its white sails like spring flowers blooming, and under the blowing of the south wind, the huge hull slowly left the wooden plank road.

Chu Fan stood by the dock, staring at the flagship of the advance fleet that was setting sail, with a calm and confident expression on his face.

The advance fleet consisted of four Galen ships and three converted No. 2 Fu ships, and the task was to send the advance team that rescued Gwanghae-kun to Ganghwa Island; The advance team was centered on the elite veterans of the first regiment, and mixed part of the Qinwang army, with a total strength of more than 1,000 people, with Zhu Zi as the commander-in-chief.

This was a bold and meticulous surprise attack, the advance team was to land on the west bank of Ganghwa Island, which Zhao Hai had selected, and to attack the Goryeo Palace by night, and return to board the ship after snatching out Gwanghae-kun, and the whole operation had to be completed within 24 hours.

Fight deep into enemy territory! A thousand against five thousand! Fifty miles of mountain road round trip! A night march on completely unfamiliar terrain! Fight without supplies! …… There are too many unfavorable factors, making this rush full of unpredictable variables.

But Chu Fan was not worried, he believed that these veterans who had experienced the Ningyuan Mutiny and established a special honor in the tunnel battle under Yingzhou City would be able to retreat from Jianghua Island even if they had some setbacks; And the tempering of brutal actual combat will sharpen the old foundation of this Fuliao army into the sharpest knife -- as for Guanghaijun, it is of course the best if he can be rescued, and it is not a big problem if he can't be saved; He is just a front for the new royal court of Joseon, and without him, he can't pass through Korea?

It seems to be adding weight to Chu Fan's confidence, and the veterans who sat on the ground next to the dock and waited to board the ship were unwilling to be lonely, and they were pulling their voices one after another to sing -- Chu Fan personally handled the song and taught the propaganda team the famous military songs such as "Big Knife Song", "Volunteer Army Song", and "Unity is Strength" after a slight modification, and the passionate melody and easy-to-understand lyrics were soon completely accepted and enthusiastically pursued by the soldiers.

Looking at the morale-boosting advance team, Chu Fan couldn't help but puff up his chest proudly, and the thick booklet in his arms pushed against his abdomen, making his thoughts jump to the newly formed staff department at once.

The general staff was composed of more than 10 middle- and lower-level officers who had experienced actual combat with Song Xiance as chief of staff, and the operational plan for this rush was the first result of the general staff -- in view of the various problems that might be encountered during the attack, the general staff drew up as many as five versions of the plan, so as to avoid unnecessary losses of the advance team to the greatest extent.

This is also the tip of the iceberg of the huge plan of the DPRK -- after the completion of the attack, regardless of whether Gwanghae-kun is rescued or not, the advance team will go north to the mouth of the Taedong River together with the receiving fleet that will depart, and seize the city of Nampo there as a stronghold, so as to receive a steady stream of follow-up troops and accumulate strength for the capture of Pyongyang.

For this reason, the generals of the General Staff Headquarters worked day and night for more than ten days, and now they have finally rushed out the plan for the capture of Nanpu City and the huge logistics and transportation plan.

The capture of Nampo City was not enough, but this logistics and transportation was a huge test for the newly established Tamna regime -- including the advance team, the first regiment and the Qinwang army totaled nearly 6,000 people, and the required war materials such as grain, grass, ammunition, mules, horses, and even clothing tents were piled up into a small mountain; So many people and materials have to be transported to the Datong River Estuary through thousands of miles of sea territory, not to mention the rest, an escort arrangement, a transportation scheduling, which are unheard of by people in this era, if it weren't for Chu Fan to mention it all the time, even if this transportation plan came out, the logistics department estimated that it would only have a dry stare at it.

In order to make this advance into Pyongyang, the Tamna regime can be said to have done its best, and the ships on the other trade routes were reduced to a minimum, and finally a huge fleet of 77 ships was put together, and the escort was carried out by four fleets in twos and twos -- it was such an unprecedented scale that it would take three trips to transport all the personnel and materials to the ground, and it would take more than two months if the wind was favorable.

This is something Chu Fan is more worried about, because the coordination of sea and land and the landing in front of the enemy are extremely complex system projects even after five hundred years, and the slightest carelessness will completely collapse; But he had to give his full support, for the reason that a great army would not have been made without hard work and hard work – and so it was with the land division, and the same with the naval division!

And as long as this operation is completed, even if it is only barely completed, it means that the Fuliao Army Naval Division has become an existence beyond this era - whether it is the Dutch Navy in full swing or the rising British Imperial Navy, they are currently unable to organize an expedition of thousands of people to land!

"Childe, the boy camp has been assembled, just waiting for you to meet you."

Chu Fan was thinking about it, but he didn't pay attention to Doudou who came at some point, and it wasn't until the latter whispered to him that he was shocked, and after answering the question, he turned over and got on his horse, galloping towards Yingzhou City.

The boy camp in Doudou's mouth was ordered and selected by Chu Fan some time ago, all of them were 12 to 15 years old Han family children, with a total of 42 people; Most of them were orphans from Liaodong, and only a few were the children of the craftsmen of Niudao and the descendants of the particularly intelligent Song people; They are all students of various schools recommended by Sun Hedou, although they have been in the school for a long time and a short time, but they have all shown a variety of outstanding features - some are extremely talented in reading and writing, and they are not forgotten at a glance, according to Sun Hedou, they are born with the seed of reading, and if they are placed in the Ming Dynasty, they are all expected to be examined; Some have an unusual interest in practical science, either they are excellent at arithmetic, or they are familiar with physics and chemistry, these people are the baby bumps in Sun Hedou's eyes; A few others are bent on joining the army, trying to learn various combat skills from veterans.

The reason why these children were concentrated in the children's camp was because Chu Fan was too short of people now! Especially those who can write and calculate, and can quickly understand his intentions and keep up with his train of thought!

At present, among Chu Fan's subordinates, there are only a few people who can reach this level, such as Song Xiance, Liu Zhongwen, Chen Shangren, and Li Guozhu, who are not only senior officials in the field, but also focus on military affairs, which means that there is an extreme shortage of talents in government affairs -- this is not the case that although several important departments of the Tamluo regime have set up a shelf and started to operate, the Tamluo royal court has temporarily stalled because Song Xiance is busy with the affairs of the General Staff.

To alleviate the dilemma of the shortage of government talents, Chu Fan has only two choices, either to dig the corner of the Ming Dynasty, or he can only cultivate himself.

It is really unrealistic to dig the corner of the Daming wall at present, so Chu Fan decided to cultivate it himself-this is the reason for the boy boy camp.

It was only a short distance of more than fifty miles from Hebeichuan Wharf to Yingzhou City, and Chu Fan appeared outside the gate of Chu's house in less than an hour; At the moment when he dodged in, he didn't notice that on the street corner not far away, there were two pairs of eyes firmly nailed to his back with deep resentment!
