In fact, when the ship left Wanghai City and set off towards Sun City, the warship received a message from the Pacific Fleet.

As the Spaniards provoked the war first and then France intervened in the war, the atmosphere of Xinming became extremely solemn.

For the Pacific Fleet, in terms of organization, the entire fleet belongs to the Navy and is responsible to the emperor. However, due to the special reasons of Xinming, the Pacific Fleet accepted the command of the Navy and the Governor of Xinming also has the right to require the Pacific Fleet to cooperate in combat when necessary.

This was determined by the Pacific Fleet at the beginning of its establishment. Of course, this is necessary to be restricted. Moreover, the Governor of Xinming cooperated with the combat order cannot directly restrict the Pacific Fleet, and it is just an equal assistance.

But don’t forget who is the current Governor of the New Ming Dynasty? Wang Dong is the founding duke and the founder of the Ming Navy.

From this point of view, Wang Dong's influence in the navy was unparalleled except the emperor. Moreover, the war in Xinming was an important matter for the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yicheng gave him the right to act cheaply when appointing Wang Dong as the governor of Xinming. Therefore, when Wang Dong offered combat assistance to the Pacific Fleet, the Pacific Fleet in Xinming immediately took action.

The warship where Zhu Qingyan is located is one of the most powerful main warships of the Pacific Fleet, so he naturally received the order to assemble at the anchorage in the southern part of Sun City. This is also the reason why the warships sailed directly towards Sun City after departing from Wanghai.

Originally, the captain planned to find a reason to transfer Zhu Qingyan from the warship after arriving at Sun City to let her avoid this war. But who would have thought that Zhu Qingyan, who was extremely smart, could see through the captain's lies at a glance and keenly judged that the war was about to begin.

Rejecting the captain's order, Zhu Qingyan returned to her cabin. She closed the cabin door. Her face, which was still serious a moment ago, showed joy in her face. She clenched her fist and couldn't help but waved it, and a gentle cheer came out of her mouth.

"That's great! I finally have the chance to go to the battlefield!" Zhu Qingyan cheered and even felt a little proud.

As a child of the royal family, Zhu Qingyan is an alternative. Her personality has been more like a boy than a girl since she was a child, especially with great expectations for war and the sea.

When she was a child, Zhu Qingyan grew up listening to how his father raised the team and how he revived the Ming Dynasty step by step. In addition, her strong personality seemed outstanding at the Royal Academy. She also resolutely rejected the original arrangement in the choice of graduation internship, joined the Navy for her dream and came to the Pacific Fleet to serve.

As time goes by, although Zhu Qingyan suffered a lot on the warship, she did not retreat at all and gradually gained the recognition of her superiors with her abilities. Now the war is about to begin. As one of the members of the main warship, Zhu Qingyan is extremely looking forward to the upcoming war.

The next day, the warship arrived at Sun City to prepare for pre-war supply.

The Pacific Fleet's jurisdiction spans the entire ocean and is the largest fleet with the Ming Dynasty, the largest number of warships and the widest control area.

Although the war in Xinming was quite sudden, coupled with the vast territory and the limitations of communication and time, it was impossible for Xinming to gather all the main forces of the Pacific Fleet, so it was only part of the Xinming Guard Fleet and the Pacific Fleet.

But even so, it is also a powerful fleet. With the gathering of warships of all levels coming from all over the place, coupled with auxiliary ships, the fleet size of the anchorage in the southern anchorage of Sun City has become powerful in this era.

There are four first-class battleships, nine second-class and third-class battleships, twenty-five cruisers and ordinary battleships, and forty-one other auxiliary ships.

The entire fleet basically included most of the main forces of the Xinming Guard Fleet and the main warships of the Pacific Fleet in Xinming. The fleet had a total of 79 ships, and used more than 20,000 troops. In addition, there were 10,000 Marines and Army participating in the war, with a total force of 33,000.

This is the fourth time that such a large fleet has been dispatched since the Ming Dynasty restored its country.

The first time was naturally Wang Dong's Battle of the South China Sea. In terms of the number of ships, the Battle of the South China Sea was the most used ships by the Ming Dynasty, but this was because the Ming Dynasty's warships were backward and there was no current main warships. They could only use the number to compete with the strong enemy.

As for the second time, it was the Battle of Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty's navy had just grown in scale and was much stronger than the Battle of the South China Sea. However, that battle was mainly to cooperate with the army's operations and carry out landing wars. The protagonist was the new army army that had just become an army, and the navy was just an auxiliary.

The third time was the Battle of Luzon. This was a huge attack war against the Spanish colonies in the South China Sea. It was also the first time that the Ming Dynasty directly fought for colonies against Western countries.

Now, the large-scale naval battle is the fourth time. This time is different from the previous three times. The place where the war begins is not in the Far East, but in Xinming on the other side of the ocean. This battle will also determine the victory or defeat of the Ming Dynasty in Xinming and the forces of the Western world.

Compared to the cold Wanghai City, the climate here in Sun City is much more comfortable. Even though it is approaching winter, the sea breeze still brings warm wet steam.

If you continue to move south, the climate will be more comfortable and the temperature will be higher. Zhu Qingyan, who has been on the warship for so long, is naturally clear about this. She stood near the bridge and looked at the sea in front. There were huge warships everywhere on the sea, and countless supply ships shuttled back and forth.

Of course, compared with other warships, the warship she is located in is the largest and strongest among them. It has three high decks, and there are 100 cannons in the cannon cabin, fifty on both sides. These cannons are the most advanced naval warfare guns of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the previous artillery, these new cannons are farther and more accurate. They are one of the most powerful warships in the world.

The newly formed fleet was commander-in-chief by Lieutenant General Xie Zhongyuan. Xie Zhongyuan was Wang Dong's old subordinate. He served in the South China Sea Fleet, Ryukyu Fleet, and Luzon Fleet. After the establishment of the Pacific Fleet, he was transferred to the commander of the First Squadron of the Pacific Fleet. The warship where Zhu Qingyan is located belongs to the main battleship of the First Squadron.

Xie Zhongyuan's flagship and the warship where Zhu Qingyan are located are sister ships, and they are parked not far from them. Zhu Qingyan's eyes looked at the flagship with the handsome flag, and it was vaguely seen that several traffic ships were docking on the side of the battle, and several people were descending along the hull to the traffic ship.
