The Celestial Tiger Army, led by Monto, began to organize and continue the unfinished mission of last winter, and began to count troops again and will go to Mongolia.

It's just that the situation in Mongolia is actually much simpler than that of Annam, after all, the current Mongolia has been beaten by the Ming Dynasty to the truth, and it is just an empty shell.

If in such a situation, only a winter has passed.

The Mongolian tribes on the steppe were able to see from the appearance of the people who had been beaten, and they were able to wrestle with the Ming on the grassland again.

Zhu Youzhen has to think about whether he is the only traverser in this world, and whether there is a summoning system in the grassland.

Compared to Mongolia.

Zhu Youzhen was more concerned about the Battle of Annam.

The Daming Shandong Water Division, the Pingnan Army, part of the Tianhu Army and many artillery divisions were all mobilized, and the entire state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty began to operate at a high speed overnight.

After passing through the port of Quanzhou to replenish supplies, the Shandong Navy Division continued to advance towards Guangzhou.

All the way south.

It didn't take long for several straight black smoke to rise outside the wharf of Guangzhou Port, and many laborers on the wharf were looking into the distance.

"It's the Great Ming Water Master! It's the Great Ming Water Master! Look at it, it's the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty! ”

On the pier, there was a jubilant scene.

Ironclad .. In fact, many people have relied on rumors and heard a little, but today is the first time I have seen it...

In fact, this kind of scene is not the first time that the Shandong Navy Division has happened all the way south.

On the wharf of Guangzhou Port, there were already a large number of warships waiting here, but many of them were civilian transport ships, which were temporarily requisitioned by the imperial court and given a certain amount of compensation.

Of course, there is a standard for compensation, and the good thing of asking for a sky-high price does not depend on the owners of these ships.

Only before that.

There's one more thing...

After the sailor docked at the port, Zhao Yunkai immediately saw Huo Weihua, who had been waiting here for a long time, and saw that the two were excited when they met.

But the reason is only known to the two themselves.

One is that he is excited that he can finally start the war to pacify Annam.

One is that he sighed that his Shandong sailor finally had a place to use.

The two hugged each other like this and came to the camp of the Pingnan Army in Guangzhou Mansion, and the first sentence of the meeting was Zhao Yunkai who spoke first: "Lord Huo, I don't know how many people you have prepared this time in order to pacify Annan. ”

Huo Weihua opened his mouth and responded: "This time, in order to quell the Annan rebellion, His Majesty gave me the authority to command the Pingnan Army... plus a part of the artillery division, the logistics brigade, and the brothers of the Tianhu Army, there are about 250,000 horses in total? ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?.. I thought the Pingnan Army had already exceeded 300,000 men." Zhao Yunkai said with some doubts.

With a straight face, Huo Weihua said: "At this moment, the number of soldiers under my command exceeds 300,000, which is not a lie... But now the people in Guangdong and Fujian are in turmoil, and many places still need troops to maintain them, so there are only 250,000 people left to go to Annam..."

Zhao Yunkai smiled heartily.

Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Huo.. You're wrong about what I mean! I just don't know if the sea ships prepared by the Guangzhou government can transport such a large number of troops this time. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Weihua's face changed.

A little lonely said: "The Guangzhou government has hardly given up recruiting sea ships for us for so long, but I'm afraid that until now, it will not be able to transport all the soldiers at once, and the first batch of soldiers to land in Annam will not exceed 100,000!" ”

Zhao Yunkai nodded.

After expressing his understanding, he spoke again: "Master Huo, in my opinion, these 100,000 people are enough..."

"There is no need to continue to transport troops, but the remaining troops should be deployed towards the border between Annan and our Daming, it is estimated that in the end, many Annan soldiers will jump over the wall in a hurry!"

It's just that Huo Weihua has already engraved the whole plan of the war against Annan in his mind, where can he forget such an important detail.

Hurriedly said: "There is no need to worry about the border area at all."

"Oh? Could it be that Lord Huo has set up a net on the border? ”

"No.. I sent five infantry divisions, two artillery divisions and one cavalry division, and was deployed there before last winter ...."

Zhao Yunkai suddenly gasped, he didn't know the situation of the Pingnan Army, although the various equipment was not much different from the Tianhu Army...

But if you talk about the details, the treatment is still much worse than that of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, after all, the Heavenly Tiger Army is a descendant cultivated by Zhu Youjian...

"Admire! Admire! Lord Huo actually laid out so early! That's without further ado, if Lord Huo is ready. We'll start boarding tomorrow! ”

"I've been waiting for a long time! Embark tomorrow! ”

Voyages at sea require a lot of supplies, especially on such long-distance transport routes, and the cost of 100,000 people on board is not a small number.

In order to avoid the logistical dilemma of the army due to unexpected situations at sea.

Huo Weihua distributed all the prepared supplies equally according to the number of soldiers on each ship.

However, the next morning...

"Wow!"

"Whoa!"

Seeing the soldiers who had just boarded the ship and started to vomit around the ship, Huo Weihua's expression became unusually serious.

Seasickness was sure to happen, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, especially since he had already found that many soldiers were even unable to continue to support themselves on the ship.

However, the military order is like a mountain.

"Boil the medicine for seasickness, within today, the whole army must board the ship!"

Standing on the lead ship of the Pingnan-class ironclad ship, Zhao Yunkai silently watched everything on the coast with a telescope.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Pingnan Army... It's far tougher than we think! ”

Another officer on the side spoke, "Lord Admiral. Shouldn't it be the Heavenly Tiger Army that is invincible and invincible? ”

"No.. I can see that many of these soldiers have actually undergone a certain amount of training, but they still have such a strong seasickness reaction..."

"That kind of discomfort, others don't understand, shouldn't we, who have turned from landlubbers, be the best aware?"

Hearing Zhao Yunkai mention this, everyone looked at the shore with a look of admiration in their eyes of Ping Nanjun, after all, they really didn't want to come again with the feeling of seasickness.
