On the second day of the second month of the second year of Chongzhen, dozens of all-armor generals gathered together in the Jeju Town Guard Mansion, that is, the former Jeju Prefecture Government Office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Led by Huang Han, Li Hu and others, the commander of the infantry army and the captain of the navy army all arrived, and the official hall was full.

It is no secret that everyone is talking to each other, and at this time the war with the Japanese kingdom is about to break out, and this is what everyone is discussing.

Muñoz and other Portuguese captains are very calm, they are now mercenaries, and if there is a war, they will charge into battle, and the rest will not be ignored.

A sound of footsteps rang out from the back hall, and one of the guards stepped in first, shouting, "Your Excellency has arrived." ”

There was silence in the room for a while.

Yu Dabao's wide all-armored body stepped in first, and now he is Zhao Lie's personal guard, where you see him, you will know that Zhao Lie is a few steps to the left.

Zhao Lie didn't have any armor, he strode into the official hall wearing an official robe.

"Salute." Yu Dabao roared.

In the sound of armor, the general of the Shuibu Army stroked his chest at the same time and saluted, "Meet Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Lie stood up with his right hand and stroked his chest in return.

"Finished." Yu Dabao's big voice sounded again.

The crowd put their hands down and stood with bated breath.

Zhao Lie sat behind the case, he proudly looked around at the dozens of generals, this is the result of his years of hard work, now nearly 10,000 steps, more than 10,000 sailors have been basically formed, and they are already the king of this sea area that cannot be humiliated.

"Generals," Zhao Lie looked at the people under the case who were looking at him respectfully, and said in a loud voice, "I will summon you and wait this time." Just a message. The Great War is coming. Ben will only ask you to wait. Dare to fight no. ”

"Dare to fight." The voices of the crowd responded loudly and loudly, and the sonic shook the official hall.

"Lord Bing, my subordinate father died with General Deng in the Battle of Luliang," Gao Shuicheng stepped forward and knelt on one knee and gnashed his teeth, "Lord Wang's subordinates should be the first to destroy the enemy, and their subordinates will fight bravely to kill the enemy to avenge the country and family." ”

Several captains came forward to kneel down and ask for battle, all of whom had elders in their families who died in Korea.

Many of the captains of the Broken Army's sailors came from the Weihai Guardian Division. When Wanli aided the dynasty, the Denglai Naval Division was the main force of the Ming reinforcements, and it was also seriously damaged, nearly half of the Sailors were killed or wounded, and their sons and nephews really hated the same as the Japanese.

Zhao Lie smiled and comforted them one by one, extremely relieved, the old man of Denglai Sailor really didn't need to mobilize to fight the Japanese invaders.

"Where is Fang Yu?" Zhao Lie asked.

Fang Yu came out of the crowd and arched his hand.

"Tell the big guy, you can wait for the investigation."

"Subordinates obey." Fang Yu replied and turned to look at everyone.

"The Jeju Military Intelligence Department has gathered information from Korean businessmen, Lord Ishishima and the exploration of the sailor's sentinel ship, which can be determined. Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Wakoku Shogunate, ordered the shogunate to gather tens of thousands of shogunate banners and the three inner clans, as well as other daimyo Suibu troops, to gather at Shimonoseki in the Choshu domain. Do not set out for Jeju. Fang Yu didn't hesitate.

"Hmph. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom has coveted North Korea, and it was defeated by the Tang Army that year, and the dream of North Korea was shattered," Zhao Lie looked at everyone sharply, "In the nineteenth year of Wanli Ye, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified the Wa Kingdom, gathered hundreds of thousands of daimyo armies from all over the Wa Kingdom to attack Korea, and arrogantly claimed that according to North Korea, the ambition of this wolf was clear every day. ”

All the subordinates listened attentively, they were all low-level soldiers, and they didn't know anything about the secrets of the Ming Dynasty, Korea, and the Japanese Kingdom.

"Therefore, it was really a last resort for Wanli Ye to send troops to North Korea, otherwise, the Japanese who had plagued the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years would occupy North Korea and attack my Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Sea Frontier would definitely be safe for a day." Zhao Lie pointed out that the big battle that made Daming's finances collapse had to fight hard.

"Looking at the ten rooms and nine emptiness of the entire South Korea slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, it is conceivable that if the Japanese invaders occupy Korea, they will definitely attack and harass Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, and even the Beijing division will be shocked three times a day, it can be said that when I went south to Guangdong and Fujian, and north to Liaodong, the Ming army fought hard for several years, lost tens of thousands of elites, and finally won and returned, obviously to aid Korea, but in fact to protect the health of my Ming Dynasty." Zhao Lie solemnly bowed his hand, "I am here to pay tribute to my predecessors who were the sailors of Denglai, and they were warriors who defended their families and the country." ”

The crowd saluted respectfully.

"Now that the Ezo land that has been coveted by the Japanese for a long time has been occupied by our army, of course the so-called general of the Japanese country, Tokugawa Iemitsu, cannot be good, and this time the heavy troops are coming," Zhao Lie slapped the table and got up and shouted, "He came well." ”

"It's like, I've been waiting for a long time." Gao Shui Cheng shouted.

The crowd answered.

"This time, I want to let the Japanese invaders be buried in the vast sea, knowing that the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty are the mountains they can't cross, and if you want to climb over this peak, you can dream of it in the next life." Zhao Lie hit the table.

"The subordinates will definitely let the Japanese die without a place to be buried." Li Hu arched his hand and said loudly.

Everyone responded with a bang, and the atmosphere was warm.

On the sixth day of the second month of the first year of Chongzhen, a huge Galen fleet gathered more than 30 miles east of Seongsan Mountain on Jeju Island.

The force led by Zhao Lie consisted of eighteen Tang-class battleships Li Jing, Shan Xiong Signal, Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi, Xue Rengui, Wei Chigong, Heiya Changzhi, Su Dingfang, Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Yichao, Chai Shao, and Qu Tutong.

The Han-class warships were mainly captured Francois and Dutch warships, such as Wei Qing, Huo Quai, Feng Yi, Peng Yue, Zhou Yafu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ma Yuan, Geng Yi, Chen Tang, and Li Guang.

Shidao built five Sui-class 400-ton Galen warships, including Han Baohu, Yang Su, Shi Wansui, Zhang Xutuo, and Luo Yi.

The Sui-class warships and the first Tang-class warships were used as transport ships, and this time they were reloaded and set out on the expedition after all the heavy guns were installed on Jeju Island.

Many of the gunners of the new Tang-class ships were novices, and Li Hu transferred some of the gunners of the Han-class battleships to the Tang-class battleships, and the entire fleet practiced in the waters of Jeju for half a month.

The sailors practiced desperately to maneuver the ship, and the gun deck practiced loading from time to time, and Zhao Lie also let the Wei Qing, which was all old sailors and old gunners, Huo Quai, as an imaginary enemy to fight against other warships, and taught such a rookie a good lesson in rushing to the wind, artillery bombardment, and sailing in the breeze.

As a result of arduous training, the cooperation of the entire fleet has made great progress, and the skills of the 36 warships of the entire fleet and more than 7,000 sailors and gunners have made extremely rapid progress.

The 30 clippers on this side, which were sentinel ships, constantly met and fought against the other side's reconnaissance boats, and sank nearly 30 small sentry ships after destroying three and lightly injuring eight, which greatly suppressed the shogunate's exploration activities.

The deck of the fleet's flagship, Zhao Lie's ship Wei Qing, was full of captains, of which less than ten were Portuguese in European attire, and the rest were Ming generals who had been promoted in the past two years, among which the old boatswain Gao Shuicheng on the Fuhai was also one of them, and the captain of the Tang-class battleship Hou Junji.

Zhao Lie strode onto the slipway under the gaze of everyone,

"Captains, the Japanese fleet has gathered in the port of Shimonoseki in Honju, and it will come west to fight a decisive battle with our fleet in a few days, and the Korean people and the refugees from Liaodong on Jeju Island have just settled down and need to settle down urgently.

Dozens of gruff voices below sounded, "The sails can't be sea." ”

It shows the confidence of the naval division generals tempered by several naval battles, and the spirit is extremely high.

"This is the third battle between the Central Plains Wang Division and the Japanese since the Tang Dynasty, the first time the Tang Dynasty defeated the Japanese Invaders, and the second time my predecessors defeated the Japanese Naval Division in the Korean Seas. Zhao Lie's deep voice echoed on the deck.

"Victory of the Broken Army"

"The captives are victorious." The captains led by Li Hu and Gao Haicheng shouted.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued.) )
