Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. Hastily climbed up to the watchtower.
At the end of the sea and sky, a small black spot loomed faintly. Although it was vague and far away, the outline of the land could already be distinguished. Inferred from direction and distance. It should be Goryeo without a doubt.
He was in a good mood, and jumped down from the watchtower holding the eldest lady's jade hand. He said excitedly, "Brother Shi. The Gwangju Mansion of Korea is ahead. Tell the brothers to work harder, we will land tonight!"
When the news came out, the sailors were shocked. Adjust the sail direction, the oars are flying, fast.
Gradually. The land is becoming clearer and clearer, with mountains and rivers, forests and trees. Slowly came into view, dozens of crude rafts. Busy fishing on the sea.
"It's finally here!" The eldest lady laughed and clapped her hands. Before she finished speaking, she heard a loud bang on the sea in the distance, hundreds of feet away in front of them. A water column rose into the sky. Leap half a foot high.
Shi Changsheng had rich experience in naval battles, his face changed immediately when he heard the sound, and he stood in front of Lin Wanrong with a clatter. He waved the small flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Every battalion is ready. Listen to my orders and prepare to fire—"
These navy officers and men were personally selected by Xu Zhiqing, equipped with the best fast boats and artillery from Dahua. The army is neat and well-trained. Hearing the commander's order. Thousands of soldiers quickly entered the gun positions, and the rudders turned. Dozens of artillery were aimed at the Koryo waters in front of them.
Lin Wanrong's face was as black as ink, and the joy of approaching landing had already been swept away. How dare the Koreans fire at the Dahua Navy! The two armies are far apart. That shot was more of a test, but it was also a naked provocation.
"Brother Shi. Load it!" He shouted coldly.
"Load!" Shi Changsheng ordered the flag to wave. Thousands of soldiers moved cleanly and swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the iron bombs and gunpowder were loaded, and the torch was blazing in his hand, waiting for the commander's order. It is necessary to fire all the guns.
The surging waves collided against the ship's side. The crystal drops of water shot out like a celestial maiden scattered flowers. The sea level was deadly silent, and no one dared to speak.
No one expected that the trip to Goryeo should have been relaxing and enjoyable. It was about to start with the roar of thousands of cannons. Xiao Yuruo snuggled up beside him. Hold his hand tightly. Never let go for a moment.
"Wait, please wait a minute"
In the midst of the confrontation, a sea boat suddenly approached from a distance, with a turtle-shaped bow. Bursts of yellow smoke spewed out from the turtle's mouth, like mist pervading the sea.
The turtle ship is about ten feet long and three feet wide, with iron armor on the wooden sides. It is much smaller than the warships of the Shandong Navy, and there are ten sculls on the left and right sides of the ship. The sails hang high, and the iron armor is filled with dense knife nets and conical iron picks.
Standing on the bow was a Korean general in his forties. long face. The eyebrows are extremely thick, and he is shouting loudly with his hands around his mouth, and his Chinese is very blunt.
"It's a Korean turtle boat!" Shi Changsheng was well-informed. He hurriedly whispered in Lin Wanrong's ear: "This is an invention of the Koreans. They put iron armor on the outside of the wooden warship, which not only has a certain resistance, but also is light and fast. The knife net and awl drill are hung on the iron armor. It can break open The enemy's wooden boat. It is extremely sharp. The yellow smoke from the turtle's mouth is also poisonous, which can make people dizzy or even comatose. This time in the war against the Japanese, this turtle boat was put into use for the first time, and the results were brilliant."
What a turtle boat! Looking at the thick yellow smoke from the bow. Lin Wanrong sneered: "Brother Shi, connect the water dragon!"
During the conversation. The turtle boat was approaching, and the distance from the Missing was only five or six zhang. The Korean general on the bow said proudly: "Are you the Dahua navy?"
The warships of the Shandong Navy are covered with golden Dilong flags. That is the most distinctive symbol of status. This Korean man opened his eyes and asked the truth, which is extremely rude.
Shi Changsheng jumped up and was about to answer. But it was stopped by Lin Wanrong waving his hand. He smiled. He said unhurriedly: "It's the Dahua Navy! This general, what's your name?"
"I am Li Shunchen, the envoy of the Jeolla Left-do Navy of the Goryeo Kingdom," the Goryeo general shouted loudly, "You are the Dahua Navy. But you trespassed on our Goryeo border, what is your intention?"
"Great Hua Haijun trespassed on the border of Korea?" Lin Wanrong repeated in a gloomy voice, and suddenly laughed loudly: "What a trespasser! General Li Shunchen. Do you dare to be responsible for every word you say?"
"This—" Li Shunchen's face changed gradually. It seems to have thought of something. Hastily changed his words: "Dahua and Goryeo are one, but you broke into my sea without saying a word—"
"What does it mean to keep silent?" Lin Wanrong's cheeks turned cold: "According to the agreement signed by the King of Koryo and Dahua. The two places are integrated, and the Koryo garrison will be taken over by our loyal army. Our Dahua navy will enter our territory with a flag. To whom? According to the law, Koryo should only retain the Bureau of Capture and Pirates, the Imprisonment Office and other departments to maintain public order and control the criminal law. All other soldiers and soldiers should be withdrawn. , Show off your power and block our Dahua navy from entering. And take the lead in firing at our army! General Li, you are very brave!"
His tone was dark. Sneered again and again. Li Shunchen was overwhelmed by the series of questioning. General Koryo blushed and said loudly, "This is an unequal treaty. It's our Koryo people's business. Why let Dahua take care of it? It's too much!"
"What an inequality!" He looked up to the sky and laughed. The sound pierced gold and gravel, across the vast sea. It was buzzing in Li Shunchen's ears.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Shunchen asked.
Lin Wanrong's voice was trembling and cold: "Finally, you, General Li, still know the word fairness. Very good, if you want fairness from me, then please give me fairness first!!"
"What's fair to you?" the Korean asked in puzzlement.
"What's fair?!" Lin Wanrong slapped the table angrily: "At the critical moment when our border is in emergency and the country is in danger, the people of Dahua put their own safety at risk. Tens of thousands of lives are buried here. They are not related to you, but the blood and bones are still there. Have you ever given them justice? When you were frightened and afraid of subjugation, you asked me, Dahuadi, for help. Why don't you come and tell me it's fair? Now that things have changed, you are enjoying the fruits of victory won by the soldiers of the loyal army with their blood and lives, while shouting that I want fairness-it's become a habit to get something for nothing. I really think Dahua is a volunteer Land?! Fair? Are you qualified to mention these two words with me?!"
He scolded violently, General Li's face turned red and pale, his cheeks trembled violently, but he didn't know how to tell the difference.
Master Lin became more and more angry. Looking at the turtle boat that kept emitting smoke. He waved his hand angrily: "What spray? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Brother Shi. Water dragon!"
Shi Changsheng let alone the comfort in his heart when he taught the Koreans a lesson, and laughed out loud. Carrying the water dragon, he went into battle in person, aiming at the turtle boat and sweeping it fiercely.
The thick yellow smoke from the tortoise's mouth may seem scary, but it is actually burning sulfur and flame nitrate, which dissolve in water and can be poured on by a water tap. The yellow mist scattered. The turtle boat suddenly died down, losing all anger.
Shi Changsheng was unforgiving. Press and hold the water dragon and sweep it indiscriminately, and the Koreans on the boat can't dodge it. Dun was drenched by him.
"What are you doing—" Li Shunchen stomped his feet and jumped away, angrily said.
Shi Changsheng sneered and said, "General Li dared to shoot at our Dahua Marine Division. If I ask you to take a bath, what is that?"
Looking at Lin Wanrong's cold face. Li Shunchen was at a loss for words. He hurriedly said: "I was too far away and didn't see it clearly. That's why I missed the shot!"
The warship of Dahua moved extremely slowly. The dragon flag hanging on the mast is the most conspicuous sign, so how can you not see it clearly? Even if you can't see it clearly, according to the practice of sailing at sea, you have to ask first. How can someone fire a cannon without saying a word? This General Li made it clear that he was deliberately demonstrating.
"Misfire?" Lin Wanrong said lightly: "Okay, Brother Shi. Let's shoot by mistake too. There are so many shells and gunpowder on the boat, it is too heavy! Order to go down, everyone to fight together. Make sure to hit and fire!" "
"What?!" General Gao Li was dumbfounded. There are dozens of ships in this Dahua Navy. There are dozens of artillery pieces on each ship. There are also two doors. If you want to fight together, it will be a thousand guns. It's not much worse than a sea battle. Such a big event comes out of this mouth, but it's like playing, I don't know where he is coming from.
Shi Changsheng was overjoyed and ordered the flag to be raised. The entire Dahua Marine Division was solemn in an instant, and the dark muzzle glowed with a deep gloomy light, silently aiming at the sea.
"Shoot!" The commander of the navy shouted and knocked down the flag.
"Boom—" The deafening sound of the guns seemed to be thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky. The entire fleet was trembling, and the turtle boat that Li Shunchen was on was lifted up by the waves.
A boundless column of water rises from the sea level hundreds of feet away. It seems that a tower has been uprooted suddenly, soaring to a height of two feet. When the broad sea surface peels off, it becomes a tuft of smoke and rain. It seems to be a vast and boundless rolling cloud.
Dahuadi artillery has been transformed by the skillful hands of craftsmen, and has also absorbed the advantages of the West. How could the precision and power be comparable to that of Goryeo? With the firing of thousands of guns, the entire sea and sky buzzed, the land in the distance trembled, and the sea level instantly created a wave of monstrous waves. rushing in all directions.
The rumbling sound of the cannons naturally alarmed the garrison on Gwangju Island, and people galloped towards the sea from afar. The golden dragon flag is flying high. In the middle of the flag was written a large "Lin" character.
"Shuai Lin. Look quickly, he is a brother of the Zhongyongjun!" Shi Changsheng said loudly.
The mist gradually dissipated, and the soldiers of the loyal and brave army on the shore were stunned when they saw the huge fleet. Then he jumped up with excitement. Desperately waving the flag in his hands. They shouted in unison: "Marshal Lin, Marshal Lin—
This cannon fires. It is related to the overall situation of Korea. It's not just ordinary people who dare to do it, but the person in front of him looks indifferent. He raised his hand and raised his foot, but he has already done things that others dare not do. Clean and neat. It seems like nothing happened. Is that identity unusual
Li Shunchen's heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at him: "Excuse me, is your Excellency—"
Seeing that face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind. Immediately, his body trembled violently, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you are Lin San—"
I didn't expect that I was also a celebrity in Korea! Lin Wanrong laughed loudly: "General Li, you have a good eye!"
Li Shunchen's face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. The names of people and places, the shadows of trees and places, Lin San is amazing. He just realized it personally today, no wonder even Turkic people who are born with a strong nature change their colors and lose at the hands of such a person. Never wronged!
The Remembrance ship slowly landed, and the soldiers of the loyal army stationed in Koryo swarmed over. Surround the bow of the ship. Excited calls shook the sky.
Lin Wanrong was a little ashamed. Although he was named the commander of the Loyalty Army, it was the first time he met these soldiers. I saw the almost worshipful eyes of the sergeants. He felt ashamed once in a while.
The landing place is called Mokpo Port, which belongs to Gwangju Prefecture. It is also one of the important places where Japan fought for the beach in the past. In that battle, Goryeo lost 60% of its 80,000 strong men, and they were no longer able to fight anymore, so the whole military affairs were taken over by the Zhongyong Army.
Gwangju is located at the southernmost tip of Koryo, and it is still several days away from Seoul, the capital of Kyoto. I heard that Marshal Daehwarim personally visited Koryo. The two top local officials, the Observation Envoy of Jeolla Province and the Governor of the Metropolitan Government of Gwangju, hurried over to welcome him, and they held a grand banquet, and they were staggeringly toasting.
Traveled by sea for several days. I finally landed today, and after the dinner, I held Yuruo's hand and strolled along the seashore, feeling indescribably happy.
Looking at the sky-high sea. The eldest lady smiled and rolled his eyes at him: "It was the first time I crossed the ocean, but you fired a cannon into it. Go back and tell Qiaoqiao and the others. You must make them laugh."
"What's so funny? They want to know that you have tasted Korean food here. You must be so envious!" Lin Wanrong laughed.
Speaking of Korean food. The eldest lady suddenly smiled helplessly. Two tacit understanding.
Wandering under the silent moon. Suddenly, a figure flickered in the distance. hide and hide. It seems like he doesn't want to see it.
"General Li Shunchen, what are you doing hiding?" he called out with a smile.
Li Shunchen walked out from the shadows, and said awkwardly, "Marshal Lin, please forgive me! I was ordered by Jeolla Province Observation Envoy to protect your safety, but I didn't expect to alarm you!"
It's funny. Send a general who has a problem with me to protect me? He shook his head helplessly.
this time. But he misunderstood Jeolla Dao's Observation Envoy, Li Shunchen was the most outstanding general in Goryeo, let alone after this great battle. Korean talent withered. There is only one person who can do it.
"General Li. What I said back then is right about the matter and not about the person." He patted Li Shunchen's shoulder, and said unhurriedly: "I hope you understand. There is no free lunch in the world. If you get something, you must pay for it! Yes It’s the same for Korea. It’s the same for Dahua!”
Li Shunchen sighed helplessly and didn't know what it was like.
"Okay. Don't talk about these disappointing things! General Li. I want to fight someone with you. A strange man who is famous in Korea!"
