Chapter 306: Dan Luo

On the vast blue sea, a seagull let out a long cry and slashed across the sea, causing a white mark to rise on the sea like blue jade.\\ A black suddenly floated on the sea surface in the distance, and then a thick column of water rose into the sky, which was a huge whale spitting water.

This is the junction of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and it is also the necessary place for Dengju to go to the Wa Kingdom and Baekje, in recent years, with the prosperity of the Datang Sea Trade, all the sea routes are very prosperous, but because Baekje and the Wa Kingdom have no oil and water, so there are not many ships coming and going on this sea route, and occasionally passing through a fleet, most of them are pulling cotton cloth, glass and other commodities produced by the Datang Dynasty to be transported to the Wa Kingdom, in exchange for silver or sulfur that debuted there.

However, on today's not very busy sea route, there was a sudden appearance of a huge fleet of ships, one after another huge ships of fortune across the sea, each captain was a hundred paces away, with hard sails full of wind, all the way to the northeast.

These ships are divided into four floors, but they are not as tall as the previous ones, but most of them are inside the hull, so that the waterline is deep enough and the boat is more stable. On the top floor of these ships, there are a lot of bed crossbows and catapults, and there are soldiers in armor standing next to them, and at a glance you know that these ships are warships.

Fu ship and Galen ship are two new types of ships designed by Li Su, although after the improvement of various shipyards, there are many variants, but generally speaking, they still belong to the scope of these two ship types. Because the artillery is still under development, the warship is still based on the Fu ship, the bow of this kind of ship is raised high, and the front is added to the collision angle, which is very conducive to collision, and compared with the Galen ship, the Fu ship can come from all directions, do not worry about the wind direction, plus the cost is lower than the Galen ship, it can be described as a very ideal warship.

In the heart of this fleet. It was a huge warship that was obviously one-third larger than the other warships, and it was the handsome ship of the entire fleet, and at the bow of this ship, a middle-aged man in a green shirt was standing there, looking at the sea in the distance with deep eyes, as if he had seen the destination of their trip.

"General. Dan Luo is not far off. It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest. While the middle-aged man was pondering, a burly young man came from behind to report. This young man looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and he looked very powerful, but in this majesty, there was an indescribable shrewdness, and at a glance he knew that he was a creative talent.

"Well, are the troops ready? Tomorrow I will definitely take Dan Luo! The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi nodded and asked at the same time. In the waters of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, which are so close to Dengzhou. The only person who can command such a huge fleet is naturally Lu Qing under Li Su.

The so-called Danluo is actually Jeju Island in later generations, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, Jeju Island was still an independent country, and its name was Danluo. Although Danra was independent, it was sandwiched between Baekje and Wa, so it was still under the control of these two countries.

"General Qiyu, the forty warships of the whole army are all ready, and a little Danluo will definitely be able to do it in one fell swoop!" The mighty young man said confidently. His surname is Zhu Mingchong, and his father Zhu Meng was originally the most trusted general under Yang Yong. Now both father and son are under Li Su, but Zhu Meng remains in Taiwan as the director of the police headquarters, while Zhu Chong is assigned to the navy as Lu Qing's deputy.

"Dan Luo is small. But after all, it is also a country, so we should not be too careless, after all, there are also Baekje and Wa on both sides, although their warships are rude, but for the generals, there must not be any carelessness! Lu Qing values Zhu Chong very much, so as long as he has the opportunity, he will teach him by word and deed.

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" Zhu Chong also knew that the General Lu in front of him was proficient in naval warfare and was highly valued by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, so he had always been very modest.

Next, Lu Qing asked some more about the recent situation of the fleet, and Zhu Chong also answered fluently, which made him nod with satisfaction, although this young man looks like a rough man on the surface, but in fact, he is delicate, and he is also smart and studious, he has reached middle age, and it is estimated that he will serve His Highness for twenty years at most, and in the next few years, it will be the world of Zhu Chong and these young people.

Seeing the satisfied expression on Lu Qing's face, Zhu Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief, he used to be in charge of a naval army under Yang Jun, but there was no way to compare with the current fleet, their fleet had a total of forty warships, and there were some other small ships, adding up to nearly two hundred, and the number of people reached 12,000 people, it can be said that all the navies who came to Dengzhou from Taiwan are here.

With such a huge fleet, Zhu Chong's ability can't lead it at all, but Lu Qing is well managed, and Zhu Chong also knows that this is a rare learning opportunity, so he is not only very attentive to his own duties, but also tries to learn as much as possible in other aspects.

After talking about the matter, Zhu Chong also relaxed, and said with a smile on his face that did not match his appearance: "General, when we defeat Danluo, His Royal Highness will be married to Queen Silla, but unfortunately we can't eat this cup of wedding wine." ”

mentioned the marriage between Li Su and Queen Silla, Lu Qing's face showed a trace of displeasure, after all, he was an old minister of Liang State, and naturally he was in the line of supporting the princess, and now Queen Silla married into the palace, which has formed a threat to Wenxin's position as the princess, plus Wenxin has never given birth, so they, the former ministers of Liang State, are a little anxious.

After Li Su returned to Dengzhou, Zhao Fu and Lu Hong immediately proposed to let him marry Jin Shengman, and after Li Su thought about it, he did not object, so Zhao Fu immediately sent someone to inform Jin Shengman and let her come to Dengzhou to complete the marriage, but Jin Shengman put forward a condition, that is, let the Tang Dynasty first lay down two small countries in the Tsushima Strait, namely Danluo and Tsushima, but in the end, after bargaining, Jin Shengman finally agreed, as long as the Tang Dynasty defeated Danluo first, then she and Li Su would marry immediately, and at the same time let go of Silla, Let Li Su's army settle in, and Lu Qing's fleet is to attack Danluo.

Zhu Chong also noticed the displeasure on Lu Qing's face, and at that time he also regretted his mouthfulness in his heart, and he forgot that the one in front of him was the first princess, but at the same time, he was a little lucky, he and his father Zhu Meng were originally subordinates of Li Su's uncle Yang Xian, and they had nothing to do with Li Su's inner house, so there was no need to worry about these messy things at all.

The fleet went all the way to the northeast, passing through the sea area of Baekje during the period, but Baekje was originally a poor country, and it couldn't afford to raise any naval army at all, and their shipbuilding technology was not good, and there were only some simple small warships patrolling the entire coastal area.

After passing Baekje, Dan Luo was already in sight, and soon Lu Qing arrived at their destination this time. Danluo is an island country, and because of the small area, the population on the island is not large, when Lu Qing and his fleet arrived in Danluo, they found that there were many simple boats fishing, but as soon as they saw their big boats, these small fishing boats immediately fled to the island, which provoked Lu Qing's soldiers to laugh.

Jeju Island was a famous tourist attraction in later generations, and it has the title of "Three More", namely "Many Winds", "Many Stones", and "Many Women". When Lu Qing and the others approached here, they saw such a scene. Although the weather is very sunny today, the wind on the island is very strong, but Lu Qing's warship is huge, and they are not afraid of the wind blowing at all, so it is easy to get to a beach that is easy to dock, and then all the big warships are anchored, and everyone slowly goes ashore in small boats.

Jeju Island is a typical volcanic island full of magma tuffs, and there are many residents on the white sandy beach, including many women. These residents were busy on the beach, or mending nets or repairing boats, and they seemed very calm, but when the fishermen fled back and brought back the news of the big boat, all the residents were immediately frightened and scattered, and some people even went to report to the king of Danluo, and now there are many Danluo men standing on the beach with weapons, although they are all trembling with fright, but they do not retreat, after all, their wives and children are on the island, and there is no place to retreat.

The navy on the small boat kept shuttling between the beach and the warship, transporting 3,000 soldiers in one go, and finally Lu Qing personally took the small boat ashore, when his pair of shark leather boots stepped on the beach, the soldiers who had already formed a neat square immediately shouted three times: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

Such a murderous army immediately frightened the islanders a hundred paces away, many of them were holding harpoons, machetes and other weapons fell to the ground at once, and even a few timid people turned around and fled in fright, most of these islanders were dressed in pigskins, their faces were tanned, and they looked like savages.

In fact, it's no wonder that they are so afraid, the entire population of the entire island combined, it is estimated that there are about 10,000 people at most, but Lu Qing and they dispatched a whole fleet this time, which is more than their total population, and now there are only a few hundred islanders on this beach, while Lu Qing They have 3,000 soldiers in full armor, and the strength of the two sides is not proportional at all, and anyone will feel afraid.

Lu Qing didn't take those hundreds of islanders into account at all, and when the team was integrated, they wanted to drive the islanders away immediately, and then find King Danluo to force the other party to surrender. But at this moment, I suddenly saw another group of islanders come out of the forest behind the beach, led by a middle-aged man in a cotton coat, compared to the other islanders in pigskins, this man is obviously a big man.
