Chapter 1793: Where to Stay

Due to the tight schedule, there was no arrangement for the fleet to anchor on Jeju Island for rest and recuperation, so Wang Tom did not plan to send another person to the island to explain the nervousness of the people on the island. The fleet sailed straight through the sea on the western side of Jeju Island and continued its journey north. After one night, you can already see the coastline of South Jeolla Province in North Korea.

However, there is still about 200 nautical miles to go from here to the capital of Korea, and judging from the slow speed of the huge combined fleet of Haehan, it will take at least a day and a half to two days to reach the mouth of the Han River.

For Wang Tom and others, there is another problem that is not easy to solve at present, that is, the long-term garrison of this unit after it is stationed in North Korea. If we look at the topography of the Korean Peninsula based on the criteria for selecting ports in Haihan, then probably only the natural conditions of Pohang, Ulsan, Busan and other places in Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do on the southeast coast can meet the standards, and the entire west coast of the Korean Peninsula, especially on the northwest coastline near Liaodong, basically cannot find a natural harbor that can meet the requirements of the construction of Haihan port.

When Haihan chooses colonies and military bases overseas, it often takes geographical conditions as one of the main considerations. The military generally chooses strategic locations with natural harbors as much as possible as the location of the formed naval units, such as the Magong Port of Penghu, the Dinghai Port of Zhoushan, the Zhifu Port of Dengzhou, and the Port of Arthur in Liaodong along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

If the navy is to be stationed in Korea for a long time and to provide assistance for the defense of the border between Korea and the Qing Dynasty, then the selection of military bases can only be limited to the northwest coastline of the Korean Peninsula, so that it will have time to respond to various contingencies. The Ministry of National Defense had carefully studied the local geography before this, but it still had not found a place that was really suitable for establishing a base, and if there was such a place, Haihan would not have been in a hurry to move the military and civilians of Dongjiang Town to Liaodong last year.

As a last resort, Haihan's side could only temporarily select a few places as references, and the specific location had to be determined after the on-site investigation and consultation with the Korean royal family. Until then, North Korea offered a temporary location on Ganghwa Island, located at the mouth of the Han River.

Ganghwa Island covers an area of more than 400 square kilometers, about 100 miles from Seoul, because of the large tidal difference between the narrow strait between it and the mainland, many reefs, and complex hydrological conditions, so the Korean monarchs used to flee to Ganghwa Island when they encountered a strong invasion from the north. When the Mongols invaded Korea in the 13th century, the king was even forced to move the capital to Ganghwa Island and then promoted it to a county.

Ten years ago, when Ding Mao was in turmoil and the Later Jin invaded Korea, the current Korean king Lee also took refuge on Ganghwa Island, and then upgraded the Ganghwa Protectorate to Ganghwa Guard, which existed as the companion capital of the Korean state. Many palaces and pavilions were built on the island one after another, which were used to maintain the operation of the imperial court during wars.

If the original historical trajectory is followed, the Qing army will invade Korea at the beginning of this year, and the Korean royal family and major ministers will go to Ganghwa Island to escape the war. The Qing army under the command of Dolgon conquered Ganghwa Island in the first month of the year and captured all the Korean monarchs and ministers. However, under the influence of Haihan, this scene did not appear as scheduled.
