The Tuanshan Water Division is equivalent to going back and forth to Tianjin Weihe Yuanshan Port twice in two days and one night. This was truly a remarkable military operation. Although the distance between Tianjin Wei and the Wonsan Port in East Korea is not long, it is extremely difficult to complete the transportation of troops, landing, returning, loading guns, and setting sail again in such a short time.

The landing was said to be the most time-consuming, but it was easily resolved by Chen Zhengcao, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for him to complete this series of military tasks. After finding a suitable place to land south of Wonsan Port, a large number of small fishing boats carried by the Tuanshan Naval Division's warships came into play - just like the Tuansan Army landed at Gunsan Harbor in the first place, the warships did not dock directly, and the soldiers docked in small boats for the last distance from the sea to the land.

In the past two days, Chen Zhengcao has only slept for two hours, and his eyes are full of red threads. The warship he was riding on was the flagship of the Tuanshan Shui Division, and it was a ship of great fortune.

The warships of the Tuanshan Shui Division were called "Fu Boats" by the Ming Dynasty, and were divided into two types - Dafu Ships and Small Fortune Ships. Daifuku ship tower threefold, the bottom tip is wide, the head and tail are high, can accommodate 100 people. Its disadvantages are that the draft is too deep, the start and end are delayed, and the maneuverability is not good.

The small fortune ship is a small warship of 400 materials, the larger fortune ship is a circle smaller, this kind of ship regiment has the most landscape divisions, and the manning and artillery are weaker than the large fortune ships, but it is better in maneuverability and flexibility, plus "the price is cheap and sufficient", it is the main ship of the regimental landscape division.

The Dafu ship that Chen Zhengcao was riding was as tall as a building, with its bow raised and open, its tail towering, and its draft was more than a foot long, and the bow was equipped with an improved heavy howitzer specially manufactured by the Tuanshanbao Arsenal for warships. The ship was equipped with six medium howitzers on the left and right sides. A total of twelve. This is the main fire output, and there are thirty firing holes on each of the left and right towers. Men-in-arms use their own guns to fire when the enemy is approaching. In this way, there is fire coverage near and far. It was several times stronger than the firepower of the previous warships of the Ming army.

The accuracy of artillery in this era was very poor, even on land, not to mention on the bumpy sea. Therefore, the warship should also be prepared for broadside battle, that is, boarding battle. This is hand-to-hand combat, land combat can use palm mines and other melee firearms, but if it is hand-to-hand combat on the ship, palm mines these firearms are not suitable for use - if hand-to-hand combat throws a palm mine, the enemy is killed, but the side of the ship under his feet is also blown up a big hole. That's a big loss...... Therefore, the ships are also equipped with a large number of cold weapons, mainly steel knives and sharp axes.

The Dafu ship on which Chen Zhengcao was traveling had a crew of one hundred and four, including sixteen sailors in charge of sailing, eighty warriors, and eight auxiliaries, and they were responsible for some of the chores on board.

The place where Chen Zhengcao is standing now is the top floor of the entire Daifuku ship, commonly known as the observation deck, also known as the terrace. There are also two large sails on this deck to provide the power the boat needs to sail. Sailing at night can be a dangerous affair. Fortunately, Chen Zhengcao has a nautical chart in his hand and a compass on board, although there is a certain risk, but he will not be completely blind.

Standing next to Chen Zhengcao was an old man who was over his prime. He was a head shorter than Chen Zhengcao, and he was wearing a gray cloth robe with a curved waist. His head was buried very low, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Chen Zhengcao.

"Lord Admiral. Now our fleet is still a hundred miles away from Wonsan Port! ”

A sailor under the terrace raised his voice to report the distance to Chen Zhengcao, and Chen Zhengcao was visibly relieved to hear his words. Immediately shouted: "Sail carefully, start turning off the lights twenty miles from your destination, and turn them on again until the last five miles!" ”

"Yes—" the sailor replied in a loud voice, and immediately went down to give the order.

It was inevitable that the night voyage would be lit with a large lantern, but Chen Zhengcao did not want to be exposed too early, leaving time for the enemy to prepare. Therefore, he chose to turn off the lights twenty miles away from Wonshan Port, and postponed the lights until the last five miles in order to catch the enemy by surprise.

This is actually a tactic, and it is not very dangerous, because it is only fifteen miles away, and it will not take much time for the fleet to sail through - because the time is very short, so as long as the ship is in a good direction, it does not matter even if there are no lights - of course, if the distance is too long, it is to sail with the lights off......

Chen Zhengcao turned his head and glanced at the old man, with a bit of "kindness" in his tone: "This time, thanks to Mr. Nizi's intelligence, our regiment's landscape division was able to track Kong Youde's old fox's fleet. Mr. Niko, please rest assured, my family will definitely agree to your conditions. ”

The old man is none other than Naoko Naoko, of the Niko family of Iwami Kuni, Japan. This Niko Naoku is the minister of the "former lord of the country" of Iwami Province, and has been trying to "restore the country". When the Tuan Shanshui Division was searching for Kong Youde's sailors on the sea, he met Nizi Zhijiu and his party who were also going to Liaodong by boat.

It turned out that after Naoku Niko knew that the Tokugawa shogunate had sent troops to conquer the dynasty, he felt that this was a great opportunity. I think that His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideyoshi was depressed because of the defeat of the war of aggression against Korea, and he died not long after, which gave Tokugawa Ieyasu a chance. I didn't expect that just a few decades later, Tokugawa Iemitsu actually followed the old path of Toyotomi Hideyoshi again, it is really a sin made by heaven, and it is impossible to live if you do it yourself!

If Nizi Naojiu wants to restore the country, he must "rebel", but unfortunately he doesn't have half a soldier in his hand, and it will never work without the help of external forces. As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, after weighing it again and again, Naojiu Niko decided to take a big gamble and tell the people in Liaodong the news of Japan's entry into Korea and the battle with the Tuanshan Army, to see if he could take advantage of the fire.

Chen Zhengcao was shocked when he received the news, and he immediately sent a reconnaissance fleet to the East Korean Sea, and really found that things were just as Nizi Naojiu said!

So there was a later report to Zhang Feiying, and in just a few days, the Shandong army was transported to Yuanshan Port.

As soon as Nizi Zhijiu heard Chen Zhengcao's words, he immediately looked up at Chen Zhengcao, and said in a slightly lame Chinese drama: "That Tokugawa Iemitsu is arrogant, and he dares to ...... Dare to raise troops and the sky; To be the enemy of the kingdom is really a stupid person! Hmph—"

Chen Zhengcao frowned slightly, and heard the deep meaning in Nizi Zhijiu's words, so he only said "um" and did not answer.

Nizi Zhijiu was a little embarrassed when he saw that Chen Zhengcao didn't answer the question, so he had to cough dryly, and stood up with his hands bowed again.

Chen Zhengcao smiled slightly, ignored him, and turned his head to look at the waves in the sea.

In exchange for information, Chen Zhengcao promised Nizi Naojiu that the condition was to support his nephew Niko Shinjiu to be the lord of Iwami Province - of course, it was the same thing as the later Japanese supporting Puyi, just a puppet. But now Naoku Niko obviously has a deeper idea, and his words reveal the idea of subverting the Tokugawa shogunate.

Let Japan change its dynasty?

This is a big deal, and you have to make your own decision! (To be continued.) )
