Chapter 145 The Royal Navy's maiden voyage

In the early morning, under the thick white fog, the Lushun Military Port was busy.

On several islands in the harbor, the towering lighthouses are still flashing with dazzling red lights, piercing through the white fog and guiding the ships.

Six milky white warships were distributed along the shape of the Pin, surrounding the twelve large transport ships in the middle, and guided by a piloting speedboat, slowly sailing out of this huge port.

The North Sea Fleet was seeing off on the shore, and the other two naval divisions looked at the fleet that gradually disappeared into the blue sea with envy, with extremely complicated eyes.

This is the first battle since the establishment of the Royal Fleet, and anyone is imagining it.

But there is no way. Whoever called his division commander was so bad that he missed this excellent opportunity to be famous in history.

It’s not that the resentment of the Ming Empire is just starting, and there are many big battles in the future!

Starting next month, the huge Lushun Royal First Shipyard will be officially completed and twenty-four leopard cruisers can be built at one time.

It's like laying dumplings, it takes less than a year. I guess the Royal Navy's leopard cruiser can't even accommodate this huge Lushun Port.

At that time, the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet were truly proud and powerful.

Hundreds of leopard cruisers formed a huge fleet and ran around the world. This was the time when it was truly exciting. It was not the kind of fight that was now comparable.

...

Jeju Island is located at the southern end of the Goguryeo Peninsula in the East China Sea, facing the peninsula across the Jeju Strait, and is more than 180 miles north of the southern coast of Goguryeo. It is connected to the gateway to the Goguryeo Peninsula. It has a very important geographical location, with an area of ​​more than 1,800 square kilometers.

Jeju Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, including 26 islands, with an island-shaped elliptical, and is composed of volcanic matter.

It mainly includes 34 islands including Niudao, Wodao, Brother Island, Zhegui Island, Mosquito Island, and Tiger Island. The higher mountains of Goguryeo stand on the island - Hanna Mountain, which is above altitude of over 1,000 meters, stand tall in the middle of Jeju Island.

The island is located in a subtropical marine climate with a warm and humid climate. It is the warmest place in Goguryeo. It is not bad at all compared to the south of the Ming Empire, and it can be called a unique paradise.

After the North Sea Fleet set out, the large fleet also arrived along Jeju Island under the leadership of the navigator.

Six large warships protected twelve transport ships and sailed along the coast of Jeju Island to find the best place for the army to land.

"Wow! This big island is too big, a little pretty!"

"I think it's best for our North Sea Fleet to build a naval sub-base here."

"It's the ultimate! Such a beautiful island is just right for our North Sea Fleet to station."...

When the soldiers saw the lush greenery, countless sea birds were flying, and the scenery was so fascinating that the soldiers screamed and exclaimed in surprise.

"It is easy to arrange hundreds of thousands of people to live in this big island. I decided to build it into a base school for the North Sea Fleet after capturing this big island."

After hearing the soldiers' place, Zhang Guangzhe's eyes lit up and even made plans for the future.

"Hehe! After our Beihai Fleet occupied the Liaodong Peninsula and the Goguryeo Peninsula, I will retire from the army in the future, and I will exchange my military achievements for a hundred acres of land here, marry a wife, and settle here."

The climate here is extremely pleasant, and even Zhang Guangfu, who has always been awesome, was very moved by the sight.

This is true for both generals, not to mention the other soldiers cheering.

As everyone was fascinated by the desire to fight, the more intense the fighting spirit in their hearts felt, and even the fatigue of the long-distance voyage disappeared.

Half an hour later, the large fleet finally found a large bay and prepared to start landing operations.

However, to everyone's surprise, although there are nearly 100,000 Goguryeo military and civilians on this large island, the imagined war did not happen.

After the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet docked, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Marine Brigade easily disarmed all the more than a thousand Goguryeo soldiers stationed on the island and occupied the island.

"Does the military and civilians of Goguryeo have no intention of fighting at all? Or are the people on this big island more strange?"

Zhang Guangzhe was speechless. He wanted to fire a few shots to try the waters!

"Damn it! I haven't killed an enemy, is this a war?"

Zhang Guangfu stood by a cannon, thinking about a big battle and having a good time, but he didn't expect to encounter such an incredible situation.

"Hmph! I'm also looking at how the two basic national policies of Liaodong are built and promoted, and I'm very familiar with that set of development plans."

Zhang Guangzhe ordered a little annoyed and embarrassed, "Get all the military and civilians of Goguryeo to form a royal construction brigade, and first create a few super official roads and hundreds of thousands of acres of ecological farms here."

Zhang Guangzhe, who was in a state of no excitement, suddenly thought of a way to make contributions, immediately discussed with his younger brother Zhang Guangfu, and then ordered the soldiers to start the action.

These Goguryeo residents on Jeju Island were stunned by the sudden army of the Ming Empire.

After learning that this was the army of the Ming Empire, which had always been "being virtuous to defeat people", more than ten representatives immediately came out to protest. As a result, they were severely educated by the unreasonable Zhang Guangzhe and became more gentle than a sheep.

After that, the Goguryeo military and civilians, who had been fully identified and confiscated, were organized by soldiers of the Marine Brigade and began a vigorous construction.

In addition to building a large military port, two cross bluestone avenues and hundreds of thousands of acres of farms were planned to be built according to the two basic national policies of the imperial court.

Two years later, the six squadrons formed by soldiers attacking everywhere in the waters of the Goguryeo Peninsula returned to Zheng, the temporary military port on Jeju Island.

Zhang Guangzhe, who ordered the Royal Navy soldiers to go out separately to clean up the Goguryeo Peninsula and many coastal islands, summoned various naval generals to meet.

This is a must.

In order to eliminate the worries of the soldiers and steadily win the victory of landing in Goguryeo, it took a little time to basically control the coastline of the Goguryeo Peninsula. This is the foolproof strategy and tactic.

"Everyone, the first step of the Royal Navy's North Sea Fleet has been completed. All the coastal islands on the Goguryeo Peninsula such as Jeju Island have fallen into our hands. It is time to launch a login war against Incheon Port."

"If you don't hurry up, you will probably have to attack the 180,000 soldiers of the army. If that happens, we will have nothing to do with you."

"Early early in the morning of the morning, three thousand soldiers were left to guard the Jeju Island, and the rest of the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet attacked all their strength towards Incheon Port in Goguryeo!"

...

Generally speaking, all kinds of ships heading to Goguryeo from the Ming Empire and going to Goguryeo will choose to dock at Incheon Port in Goguryeo.

It is the largest port in central Goguryeo, and is close to the royal city Seoul. The diplomatic envoys and merchants who come and go basically land at Incheon Port.

After getting ashore at Incheon Port, you can reach Seoul in just one walk for about a while.

If you ride a horse, you will be faster, one or two hours will be enough.

Therefore, the Goguryeo government also set up a special inn in Incheon Port, which welcomes envoys and merchants from all sides.

The Royal North Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, this time, went to Goguryeo by sea, and naturally chose to land in Incheon Port.

From the temporary military port on Jeju Island to Incheon Port, it is an unobstructed route. After the fleet sailed, the Royal Navy's fleet approached Incheon Port.

After seeing the land, the fleet's navigation speed began to slowly decrease. Zhang Guangzhe, commander of the Navy's North Sea Fleet, and Zhang Guangfu, the division commander, held a thousand-mile mirror and carefully looked at Incheon Port from a distance.

According to the previous arrangement, after the naval soldiers raided ashore, they occupied important places around Incheon Port.

The soldiers took over various commanding heights, deployed defense, monitored emergencies, and focused on establishing cordons around the harbor, and controlled all ships on the dock as soon as possible.

After landing, the soldiers of the Marine Brigade launched a continuous attack, killing those enemies who dared to resist at the fastest speed and occupying this huge port.

The soldiers of the North Sea Fleet had already occupied Jianghua Island forty or fifty miles away with extremely easy access, and cut off the other party's wings first.

It was just a military base of Goguryeo, garrisoned by the Jeolladao Navy.

The combat power of the navy soldiers was very loose, but it took the soldiers less than an hour to wipe out all the resisters and completely occupy Jianghua Island.

In fact, there is no such method as a navy in Goguryeo now.

There are eight roads in Goguryeo, and only three roads have naval forces. Among them, the most powerful one is the Jeolla Road Naval Army, stationed on Jianghua Island.

Lee Sun-chen, a generation of "war god" in Goguryeo back then, served as the commander of the Jeolla Dao Navy Army.

Compared with the major navy of the Ming Dynasty, the Jeolla Dao Navy was nothing.

However, the emergence of a "famous general" Li Shunchen in Goguryeo's territory is already amazing, and Goguryeo will naturally be called the "God of War".

Ganghwa Island is less than 100 miles from Seoul and less than 50 miles from Incheon Port.

Since Jianghua Island is separated from the mainland and is close to Seoul, if there is any disturbance, the King of Goguryeo likes to send his concubines and children to Jianghua Island to ensure safety.

Over time, many famous scenic spots and historical sites have been formed on Jianghua Island, and dozens of large palaces have been built, becoming the so-called "water masters" base.

In fact, Jianghua Island is a good place for royal leisure and entertainment.

From a military strategic perspective, Ganghwa Island is also the main force to protect Seoul. The Goguryeo Navy can go ashore here at any time to support Seoul.

Or when a national crisis occurs, the family of the kings who were fleeing here and take them to the sea for refuge.

Ganghwa Island is different from Incheon Port. It is completely the king's private territory. No matter what it does, the outside world can't hear any disturbances. It's extremely mysterious.

The dock dock at Incheon Port is of a size comparable to the current resident of the Royal East China Sea Fleet near Jindagukou, or even better and larger.

At this time, in Incheon Port, there were dozens of large and medium-sized merchant ships loading and unloading goods. Most of them were pig-bearing ships unique to Goguryeo, as well as other ships from various countries. Even the large and medium-sized lucky ships of the Ming Empire were cherry.

Although there are many merchant ships in this large port, there are very few warships, less than thirty, and most of them are warships such as silos.

These warships are completely incomparable to the fleet size that the soldiers of the Royal North Sea Fleet saw on Jianghua Island before.

From this we can see how loose the defense here is.
