My Daming New Empire

If it was before, Zhu Zhanji would still be a little worried about Tang Jing and the others, but now that he has [-] muskets and [-] cannons from Habayashi Guard, Zhu Zhanji doesn't have any worries.

The transition from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons is not only a quantitative change, but also a qualitative change.

No matter how cruel the Japanese pirates are, they will risk their lives, but when they can't get close to their opponents, they can only become targets.

When the army started to march, Huang Yuan sat on a cannon carriage, leaning against the wooden partition, completely relaxed, and closed his eyes.

He was so tired that he hadn't rested for a moment since last night.It will take at least four hours to rush from here to the predetermined area outside the Sheriff's Mansion, so he can take a good rest.

Zhao Yongliang, the commander of Habayashi Zuowei, did not ride a horse. This time it was expected to be a naval battle. The fleet only carried less than a hundred horses, which were specially prepared for the grandson.

With his qualifications, of course he can lead a horse, but even the commander-in-chief Tang Jing does not ride a horse, relying entirely on two legs, if he rides a tall horse, what would he look like!

He is not willing to just be a commander. If he wants to make contributions, he should not be too special first.

The guard Zhao Gan approached Zhao Yongliang and said, "My lord, you should get in the car and rest for a while, the road is still long!"

Zhao Yongliang shook his head and said: "Huang Shoubei is the liaison officer in the army. He has not slept all night and has been busy all day. He took the opportunity to rest for a while, which is natural. As the commander of the Habayashi Guard, I cannot fall into our Habayashi Wei's prestige. Don't say that again, this way, I can't help but..."

A messenger ran over, beat his chest and said: "Commander Zhao, Commander, please."

As the grandson's guard, Habayashi Wei did not have much contact with the various armies.It was also the first time he received orders from other military guards like this, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, and said, "Please lead the way."

Because of its particularity, the Habayashi Guard was protected by the army in the middle, and Tang Jing was in the first half of the army, so Zhao Yongliang took a few of his guards and trotted all the way before chasing him.

Tang Jing, who was in his early forties this year, was not wearing any armor at this time, but just wore a green robe, which lightened his burden, and strode forward like an ordinary soldier.

Seeing Zhao Yongliang catching up, he stopped and gave a military salute.Zhao Yongliang himself was one level lower than him, and now that Tang Jing was the commander-in-chief, he didn't dare treat him lightly, so he quickly gave a military salute and walked forward side by side with Tang Jing.

Tang Jing said: "Commander Zhao, I am leading 3000 people today, and I feel that I have a heavy responsibility. Although the [-] navy divisions did not belong to one in the past, the training strategy of the navy divisions is roughly the same. I can also know it in my mind. Only Habayashi Wei, as His Royal Highness's own army, is already superior. Now that he has the advantage of firearms, I don't have a detailed explanation of the combat power. His Highness also ordered the attack line to be Habayashi Wei. Lord, that’s why I’m looking for you to understand a thing or two.”

The Shenji Battalion made great contributions during the Northern Expedition, fighting against the Oirat cavalry with infantry, and still had an advantage.Since then, rumors have been raging, and the role of firearms has only been praised to the sky.

And Habayashi is the elite among the elites, among other things, the guards of Habayashi alone are more than half a head taller than ordinary soldiers, and they can be selected as Taisun's personal soldiers, at least in terms of physical strength. Guards are stronger.

Zhao Yongliang adjusted his breathing, pondered for a while and said: "Although the Habayashi guards are selected rigorously and well-trained, they lack actual combat experience. If His Highness is here, he will not retreat from the battle to the last soldier. I'm afraid that if His Highness is not around, the morale will be difficult for a long time. Gu, it is the best arrangement to use the Habayashi guards to attack the fortifications and serve as the vanguard. As for the use of firearms, in Mobei, the last general has personally experienced the power of firearms during positional warfare. Unstoppable. Although the last general is not talented, although the time for changing clothes is still short, the fighting spirit is like a rainbow."

Tang Jing also understood the meaning of Zhao Yongliang's words, that is, although Habayashi Wei is mighty, he still fought a little less. It's okay to fight hard, but he's afraid it won't last.

Tang Jing also knew that this evaluation was fairly fair. In terms of morale, naval soldiers were far higher than those on land.

Because soldiers on land can escape if they lose, but soldiers in the navy will die if they lose.Even if they are fighting on land now, they are in a foreign country. If they are scattered, it will be difficult to go back.

Therefore, in terms of desperation, naval soldiers are more brave.

Tang Jing nodded and said: "In this case, when we arrive at the predetermined location, Habayashi Wei will be the first to rest and recuperate, and wait for the meritorious service at noon tomorrow."

Zhao Yongliang clasped his fists and said: "The final general will definitely fulfill his mission. If the Japanese pirates cannot be driven into the sea, the final general will come to see you."

Tang Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "War is not a moment of enthusiasm. Even if there are small setbacks, as long as the result is gratifying, it is victory. If everyone is defeated, he will die. How can there be a veteran of many battles! Commander Zhao, as the commander of an army, should not speak lightly life and death."

This is the difference between a veteran and a rookie, and Zhao Yongliang also responded convincingly: "The last general will be taught!"

Near midnight, the thirteen thousand army finally arrived behind a hill two miles south of the Sheriff's Mansion.

It was winter and the temperature was cold.Most of the soldiers dug a hole in the ground with their big knives, and then nestled in the hole.

Some even found hay to cover their bodies, and more people leaned on the pit to eat some dry food, and then fell asleep.

The hundreds of Tamna people are more pitiful. They don't have the thick cotton coats of the soldiers on them, and they don't have knives to dig holes.Only a few dozen people curled up in a ball, ate the fried rice and jerky provided by the logistics officer, and hugged each other to keep out the cold.

On the Eastern Front, Zhu Zhen and the eunuch Wang Jinghong experienced a small-scale battle at dusk.

They blocked the entire sea area from the east of Jeju Island, and happened to encounter two merchant ships from Nagasaki to deliver combat supplies to the Japanese pirates.

In order to keep the secret, the two ships will of course not let go.After sending four warships to chase, eight speedboats outflanked and drove them away from the waters of Jeju Island.

Only a dozen or so shots were fired, and the two merchant ships surrendered voluntarily.

The more than 100 people on board were detained on the four main ships, and the fleet seized two thousand stone ships that were only slightly damaged, and two ships full of supplies.

These materials are all military materials such as hemp rope, tung oil, bamboo arrows, etc., which happen to be used by the Ming army.

Although twelve warships were dispatched, the fleet battle plan of nearly [-] ships was not affected.When night fell, all the battleships had arrived at their predetermined positions.

These warships formed a tight encirclement, and dozens of warships were dedicated to guarding against ships from Japan and North Korea.

When the messenger ship arrived with the information that the Eastern Fleet had arrived at the predetermined location, Zhu Zhanji had already rested in preparation for tomorrow's battle.

Zheng He didn't alarm Zhu Zhanji, and now the general trend has come, even if the Japanese pirates have already realized that the situation is wrong, it is already too late.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

November 26.Jiazi month.Wuxu Day.

It is advisable to form alliances, accept sacrifices, offer sacrifices, and pray for blessings.Avoid marrying and making a stove.

From the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, all the fleets began to line up in order, and each ship was about 300 meters apart, forming a huge encirclement that stretched for dozens of kilometers.

Between the ships, there are dozens of order ships passing back and forth.With the invention of the telescope, the semaphore can be transmitted farther, and the distance between the fleet can be further and further.

However, the distribution of personnel and the transmission of some specific orders still require these small boats for communication.

The cooks slaughtered pigs and sheep early in the morning, and served hot broth around nine o'clock in the morning.

All are well fed and ready to fight.At this time, the fleet arrived at the sea less than [-] kilometers away from the Sheriff's Mansion, and the east and west lines converged.

The fleet re-formed and unified orders. With the flag raised above the flagship, all warships marched towards the prefectural government of Jeju Island according to the route determined in advance.

Zhu Zhanji was on the top of the flagship building, looking at the spectacular scenery of thousands of sails, he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

This is the best era for the Chinese nation!

His coming is to make this kind of prosperity continue!

At the beginning of noon, the fleet stopped on the sea twenty miles away from the port, and half of the warships lowered their hard sails and lowered their long anchor lines.

The bottom of the sea here is about 100 meters away from the sea surface, and the anchor can barely hang on the bottom of the sea.

But going forward, there are too many fleets in Ming Dynasty, which will affect each other, which is not conducive to giving full play to the advantages of giant ships and heavy artillery.

This is an asymmetrical war, not to mention the treasure ships with a displacement of more than [-] tons, even the conventional warships of five thousand stone, and the thousand-stone ships of the Japanese pirates cannot resist.

The flagships Zhu Zhanji and Zheng He were on did not move forward. Apart from them, four other treasure ships were also parked around them, and there were more than 20 warships surrounding them.
