Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the middle of April of the fifth year of Hongwu, and the war that broke out between Hu and Han lasted for almost a month, during which time the Great Jin relied on strong logistics and advanced techniques and tactics to basically gain the upper hand. Whether it was the Huns in the annexed states, or the Xianbei people in Hexi, Saiwai, and Liaodong, they did not take advantage of the Jin army.

In order to eliminate the Hu people as soon as possible and end the war, Sima Shu and the soldiers of the General Administration of the Military Department decided to open up a new battlefield in Liaodong after repeated deductions.

The new Governor of the First Fleet, Li Zhao, led the main force of the fleet to prepare for a landing in the Whale Sea and attack from the rear of Goguryeo to support the frontal Taokan Division.

"This is Vladivostok?" Li Zhao looked at the broken ice floating on the sea and asked the soldiers beside him, "Why did Your Majesty name this place Vladivostok?" However, the climate here is really good, and the rest of the place is still freezing as we go all the way, but there are already signs of civilization here, and it can be used as a naval base for our navy in the north in the future. ”

"Hehe, yes, as for why His Majesty named Vladivostok, I don't know if I'm low, maybe it's ginseng produced here. The Navy first discovered this place two years ago, when the Navy was looking for a suitable northern port, and after some reconnaissance, it was found to be good. After the last two years of investigation, we found that Vladivostok is basically in the ice period for a third of the year, and it can basically start navigation in April every year. ”

"My lord, the reason why Your Majesty values this place is because the strategic position of Vladivostok is very important, and with this port, we can effectively control the entire Liaodong. In the north of Vladivostok live the people of the Rulou tribe. The Rulou people have lived here for hundreds of years, and they have always submitted to the Fuyu Kingdom. It was not until the previous dynasty that he achieved independent status, and in 236 (the fourth year of Wei Qinglong), Lu Lou established a vassal relationship with Cao Wei, and Cao Wei placed it under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County. ”

"So this Rulou still has some connection with the Central Plains Imperial Court? So what's going on with Rulou now? What is your relationship with us? Li Zhao asked with some surprise.

"I can't talk about contact, Lu Lou has existed for hundreds of years, and they have made contact with my Central Plains Shangbang twice, one of which happened during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Today, the state of Rulou is quite stable, although they are often harassed by Goguryeo and Buyeo, but they admire our Heavenly Empire. ”

"Over the past two years, the Empire has strengthened its ties with the Turu through trade, and the port has only recently been acquired. The national strength of Rulou is weak. But because his soldiers 'sailed and rode and shot.' Therefore, even if they are as strong as Buyeo and Goguryeo, they have no way to deal with each other. ”

"Oh? It seems that this country is not simple! Li Zhao said thoughtfully.

"My lord is right, there is a reason why Julou can exist under the oppression of Buyeo and Goguryeo. This time, in order to support our attack on Goguryeo, the Lulou people sent more than 1,000 people to support us. Don't be suspicious of adults. There are only more than 20,000 horses in total. ”

"We're in such a big fight. Didn't Goguryeo react? Li Zhao had some doubts in his heart. The Jin army had been here for nearly two years, and he didn't believe that the Goguryeo people hadn't found out at all.

"How could it not have been discovered? Recently, the Goguryeo people have not been less interested in attacking here, but we have been well guarded and have not allowed the other party to succeed. But. Thank you so much for Your Majesty this time! Since we had cotton, we are no longer afraid of any severe cold weather, otherwise it is a question of whether we can gain a foothold here, let alone defeat the Goguryeo people. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise and martial, needless to say. This time, Your Majesty asked me to wait to open up a new battlefield in Vladivostok, which can be said to be an expectation of the navy, and we must not let Your Majesty down. ”

"Rest assured, my lordship, the lowly rank will not dare to be negligent. My lord, look, the brothers below are ready, let's go down! Your Excellency, please first! ”

After a long voyage, the First Fleet of the Great Jin Dynasty finally arrived at Vladivostok, and one hundred and twenty ships carrying various supplies arrived at the port of Vladivostok, which was just a little larger. At this time, Vladivostok was said to be a port, but in fact, except for the simple wharf, it was all a barren beach.

"In the future, the construction of this port must be accelerated, and in the future it will be the key to our trade with the ethnic groups in Liaodong, and it will also be an important logistics base for us to control the ethnic groups in Liaodong." As soon as Li Zhao stepped on Shanghai Vostok, he ordered the military road around him.

"Well, please rest assured, humble and clear. In fact, since we mastered the Samhan Peninsula, the construction progress here has been significantly faster, after all, it is much easier to transfer supplies from the Samhan Peninsula than from the country. The army replied.

Just as the Jin army continued to strengthen its power in Vladivostok, Goguryeo had to take some countermeasures in the face of the aggressive offensive of the Great Jin. In order to cope with the growing threat of the Jin Navy, Goguryeo had to have its naval divisions increase patrols in the Goguryeo waters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the city on the south bank of Mazishui has been completely lost, and the 30,000 troops stationed on the south bank have been completely annihilated. Two days ago, the port of Vladivostok welcomed a group of Dajin naval warships, there were more than 100 lucky ships, and that guy was as big as a moving island. According to the scout, it took a long day just to unload supplies from the ship. Ladies and gentlemen, this king thinks that in a little while, we will face an attack by tens of thousands of Jin troops from Vladivostok. Ladies and gentlemen, is our army ready to deal with the Jin attack? King Mikawa of Goguryeo frowned and asked his vassals in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Vladivostok is just a barren beach, and it is absolutely impossible for the Jin army to rely on this place to threaten our rear in a short period of time. Even if they have a technical advantage, we are in a good position. And we also have two ports in the eastern part of the Samhan Peninsula, where we also have hundreds of naval warships. We can use the navy to annihilate the naval forces of the Jin army in Vladivostok when the Jin army's foothold is not stable, and we will definitely let the Jin people dry their blood in Vladivostok! The former captain of Jin Dongyi, now the Goguryeo general Cui Yu said confidently.

Speaking of Goguryeo, Goguryeo has been aggrieved enough in recent years, and this time in the original history should have been the time when Goguryeo was gradually reviving and expanding to the outside world. Historically, King Mikawa took advantage of the chaos of the Western Jin Dynasty and invaded the territory of China.

In September 302, he led an army of 30,000 to invade Xuansu County, captured 8,000 people, and moved to China.

In August 311, he attacked Xi'anping, Liaodong County.

In October 313, it invaded Lelang County.

In 314, it invaded Obikata County.

In February 315, he conquered the city of Xuansu.

In 320, King Meichuan invaded Liaodong again, and Murong Ren and Murong Han defeated him.

It's a pity that such an era that should have gone to glory in Goguryeo was stunned by an outsider like Sima Shu. Under the continuous expansion of the Great Jin Dynasty, Goguryeo not only abandoned Xuansu County, but now even half of the country has fallen.

Hearing this, King Mikawa was silent for a moment and turned his head to look at the Minister of State, Kura Suke, and then asked, "Lord Cangsuke, can our sailor defeat the Jin army?" ”

"My lord, the minister can only say that no matter what the situation, the sailor will do his best. As for whether it can withstand the attack of the Jin Navy, only God knows! Minister Cang Zhuli said helplessly.

The Goguryeo Navy seems to be powerful, but its real combat power is far from being comparable to that of the Dajin Navy, which only needs to send a detachment to destroy all the Goguryeo Navy. Although the Goguryeo naval division developed rapidly under the influence of the Great Jin Dynasty, it now has tens of thousands of sailors, two port bases, and more than 300 large and small warships.

King Mikawa nodded silently, although he was not satisfied with the Prime Minister's answer, but he also knew that what the other party said was the truth. The Dajin Navy has long been the hegemon of the entire Asian seas, equipped with more than 100 battleships. But what about the Goguryeo sailors? There were hundreds of warships, but they were all traditional warships, and they didn't even have a single cannon on them.

"The king, the minister still has something to say." Seeing that the King of Goryeo flinched a little, Cui Yu hurriedly spoke: "The Prime Minister thinks that our sailors do not have the strength to confront the Jin Navy head-on, and there is no doubt about this issue. However, since the sailor is not sure to defeat the Jin people, then he can't let them stay in the port and wait to be surrounded and eliminated by the Jin people, right? ”

"Shhh This ......" King Meichuan was dumbfounded, too, if the sailor has been hiding in the port and not taking the initiative to attack, he will have to be wiped out in the port by the Jin army one day. Rather than this, it is better to let it fight with the Great Jin Navy, in case the ancestor blesses and wins, wouldn't it be able to change the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop!

"That'...... Well, instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to take the initiative. For the sake of Goguryeo, the sailors had to defeat the invading Jin navy. In this way, Master Cui, you are from the Jin Kingdom, you must know something about the Jin army, and this time someone will be responsible for commanding the water division! In the end, King Mikawa decided to let the sailor take the initiative.

"Yes!" Although Cui Yu was unwilling to be a scapegoat, he needed to rely on the Goguryeo people for now, so he had to submit.

"Lord Cui, during the war, the Marines must maintain stability in our East Coast region. In addition, the army must be ready to support the navy at any time. After thinking about it, King Mikawa commanded again.

As the Great Jin Dynasty continued to occupy the southwestern part of Goguryeo, now the Goguryeo people are left with only the east and the north, especially the eastern coastal areas have become the tax center of Goguryeo.

"Please rest assured, the king has gathered 20,000 troops in the eastern coastal area, and we can fully undertake the defense of the eastern coastal area." Minister Kura replied confidently. Now, in order to protect the eastern coastal areas, Goguryeo has enough food and other daily necessities to live in each city for a year, and even if the places are surrounded by the Jin army, there will be no problems.

"That's good, if we are united, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army. When the generals achieve our final victory, everyone will be heroes, and this king will reward everyone well! King Mikawa cheered his subordinates up. (To be continued......)
