Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 127 The Ming Navy arrives

Everyone disembarked and landed.

At this moment, the fortress on the Incheon seaside suddenly lit up thick smoke. Seeing the thick smoke, the troops on the shore also began to gather urgently. Everyone was a little at a loss, so they first climbed to a nearby hilltop to look at the situation at the seaside. Zhang Xiao picked up the telescope and looked at the seaside. Sure enough, a huge fleet slowly appeared within the field of view of the telescope.

"A fleet has arrived outside Incheon Port." Zhang Xiao said.

"Zhang Angel, can you lend me the telescope?" Yi Sun-shin asked.

"Of course you can." Zhang Xiao handed over the telescope.

"Angel, I'm very familiar with the Japanese navy. This doesn't look like a Japanese ship. Looking at the flags on the ship, it looks like the navy of the Ming Dynasty. Wait, the navy stopped, and now it's just sending a small boat forward. Zhang Angel, I will go and inform the defenders not to act rashly."

More and more troops gathered on the shore, and everyone was on alert. However, there was no clear order, and everyone was not allowed to act rashly. They watched the small boat slowly rowing to the shore.

"I am Xie Wan, a hundred households of the Ming Dynasty navy. In the name of the chief military officer of the Imperial Japanese Army, I am here to contact you first."

Originally I just wanted to take a look at the turtle ship, but I didn't expect that I would just happen to meet the arrival of the main force of the Ming Navy. Everyone was very excited, and the most excited person was Yi Sun-shin. Before Prime Minister Liu could say a few more polite words to Chen Lin, an impatient Yi Sun-shin took over.

"Prime Minister Liu, General Li Ruxie is also too eager. He wants to talk to General Chen about the naval battle. Now that we have arrived in Ming Dynasty by land and water, the battle ahead will be much easier." Zhang Xiao and Prime Minister Liu exchanged greetings. .

"I have ordered people to report the news to Wang Jing as quickly as possible. When the time comes, our country will hold a grand ceremony to welcome Mr. Chen's arrival."

"Prime Minister Liu is attentive. I also hope that North Korea will overcome the difficulties again and mobilize the gentry to donate a batch of food and wages."

"That's natural. That's natural. It's just that our country is really short of food and wages. Don't let angels feel too little."

It’s not very far from Incheon to Wangjing. When a group of people arrived at the foot of Wangjing City, they saw the King of North Korea leading hundreds of civil and military officials to greet them.

"The Lord Youlao has come out of the city to greet us. Now, as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Japanese Army, Chen is in charge of the naval forces. He must wipe out the Japanese pirates' naval forces, permanently eliminate the trouble of feuding, and clear the waves of the Hanhai Sea." Chen Lin said.

"General Chen is worthy of being a general of the above country, and his magnanimity is indeed extraordinary. Although North Korea is a small country, it must entertain General Chen well." The North Korean king said happily.

At the banquet, there were people drinking, singing and dancing, and it could be said that both the host and the guests were happy.

"Mr. Chen, how many warships did the Chinese navy come to this time? How many soldiers are there?"

"There are hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers."

"I made a mistake. The number of ships is a secret in the military. I shouldn't interfere here. I'm just too happy."

"Master of North Korea, I, Liu Dadao, led my army to come to our aid that day, but I have never seen such a warm reception from your country." Liu Wei said. "When General Liu came to help, our royal court had just finished Bogyue and temporarily stayed in Pyongyang City. The reception ceremony at that time was indeed crude. It is really difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. I would like to apologize to General Liu. After the victory, I will I will definitely reward you generals generously."

"Liu doesn't mean to blame you, the king. It's just that General Chen is here for the first time. We scare the Japanese on land, but General Chen can't let the Japanese pirates compete with us on the sea."

"I don't need to worry about General Liu. Chen Mou has been in Guangdong for a long time. He has killed countless thieves at sea and on land. He has also seen the Nanyang giants and the gunboats of the Fo Langji people. The Japanese navy has Chen doesn’t take it seriously yet.”

"All generals are the pillars of the imperial court. They kill enemies on land and sea. Now the Japanese still have a large number of troops in Korea. The imperial court is still waiting for the generals to cooperate sincerely to expel the Japanese from Korea." Zhang Xiao saw something was wrong in the atmosphere and had no choice but to Come out and say it.

"Huh!" Liu Wei did not continue to argue with Chen Lin, but he still didn't look good.

"General Chen, you just said that you are the commander-in-chief of the war against Japan. Before the expedition, Lee was appointed by the court as the commander-in-chief of the war against Japan, to supervise the army to rescue North Korea. What is the charter of General Chen, the chief officer in the war against Japan? ?" Li Rusong asked.

"Admiral Li, the text given to me by the Ministry of War is very clear. This Japanese commander-in-chief is only in charge of the navy. Now in North Korea, the admiral in charge of the entire army is naturally Admiral Li. Chen is only in charge of the navy, so he will naturally be under the supervision of Li. Admiral's moderation." Chen Lin explained.

"That's good. You're here for the first time. If the navy officers and soldiers need any supplies, I can help you get them together. Especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Our army has just started to farm the fields not long ago. The products in the fields can be distributed first. You guys eat something fresh." Li Rusong said.

"Thank you, Admiral Li. Chen has been drifting at sea for who knows how many days. The soldiers on the ship have indeed not been able to eat decent fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time."

Although the banquet is cheerful, it will eventually come to an end. But Mr. Chen, who was drunk at the banquet, left the palace, and his eyes suddenly became clear and bright.

Not long after, Li Rusong was already meeting with Chen Lin in the Admiral's Mansion.

"Mr. Chen has been running all the way, and he just came to my house without taking a break after just having a banquet."

"The military situation is raging. Chen has the emperor's mandate, so how can he dare to slack off? Admiral Li, why is the Japanese country so stubborn and stubborn after losing several games in a row? Do you really want to compete with me and the Ming Dynasty?"

"The people of the Japanese country are always unreasonable in their behavior. How could Toyotomi Hideyoshi be willing to admit defeat after losing a few games even though he had done a good job in telling off the injustice?" They lost soldiers and generals and gained no territory. I was afraid that they would be angry to death and kill these generals. Therefore, the generals and princes of the Japanese countries who stayed in Korea did not dare to say that they would give up Korea and flee back to their country, even if they lost the battle. But once you come, General Chen, the structure of our army is indeed very different. Although I have raised troops and won several major battles, they were all fought on land. Our army has never fought against the Japanese in sea battles. As for North Korea, their naval generals, except for Yi Sun-shin, have fought a few small victories, but they are just harassment. The main force of the North Korean navy has been completely wiped out, so now, the Japanese The fleet can still travel between Japan and North Korea unimpeded."

"Yes, I talked to Yi Sun-shin of North Korea, and he said the same thing. So when he saw me, he was very excited and kept telling me about his plan."

"Oh, what's the plan?"

"That is to say, first capture Sacheon Castle and Suncheon Castle on the southeast coast of Korea, and compress the main force of the Japanese to the Busan area. Then use the main force of our navy to cut off the Japanese's retreat sea route and cut off the Japanese's logistical supplies. After the Japanese's supplies are cut off, it will naturally If you want to retreat, intercept the Japanese on the coast of Korea while they are retreating, and send all the Japanese army to the bottom of the sea."

"This strategy is cruel enough. If it really works out, not many of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in North Korea will be able to go back." Li Rusong said with emotion.
