Da Ming started to ascend the throne

The navy that came this time was twelve ironclad warships and seventy sailing warships led by Zhang Huangyan.

The army is the [-] Ming Dragon Banner Army led by Li Dingguo.

These two armies are not only well-equipped, but also have a medical ship with hundreds of people.

When Lu Aiguo received the news of the arrival of the main force of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately went to meet Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan on the Hongwu, the flagship of the Ming army.

Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan were discussing how to attack Kyushu Island when soldiers came to report:

"Report to the two generals, North Korean Governor Lu Aiguo asked to see him."

"Oh please."

Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan said almost in unison, and they all laughed.

The Chosun slowly approached the Hongwu, the soldiers built the hanging ladder, and Lu Aiguo stepped on the Daming iron-clad warship for the first time.

Looking back at the Chosun, Lu Aiguo suddenly found that the tall warship Chosun had become much smaller at this time.

While feeling emotional in his heart, Lu Aiguo looked up at Hongwu's tall chimney, which was emitting black smoke.

Li Dongyang's eyes were full of shock, and he was also thinking in his heart, if they could have a few of these ironclad ships, they would definitely not be sunk.

"Captain, this is the real iron-clad warship of Ming Dynasty, it would be great if we could give us two..."

Thinking in his heart, Li Dongyang accidentally said it out of his mouth.

Lu Aiguo looked at his capable subordinates with a half smile and asked:

"I don't have a single sail, can I drive away if I give you one? I can only think about it in my heart in the future."

"Yes, the governor taught you the right thing!"

Li Dongyang hastily admitted his mistake honestly.

After visiting the Hongwu, they were just about to turn around to meet the Ming army commander when suddenly Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan stepped onto the deck.

Li Dingguo knew Lu Aiguo, they met in North Korea.

Although Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan were the main commanders of the Ming army, it was impossible for them not to give face to Lu Xiangsheng, the son of Daming's loyal soul, Lu Aiguo, and finally came out to greet him.

Lu Aiguo and Li Dongyang hurried forward and bowed to salute:

"North Korean Governor Lu Aiguo and Deputy Governor Li Dongyang have met the two Lords."

"Two generals, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy"

Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan hurriedly supported Lu Aiguo and Li Dongyang.

Li Dingguo is the Marquis, Zhang Huangyan is the Earl, and Lu Aiguo is also the Earl.

Among them, Li Dingguo has the highest status, and he also has another status, that is, the Prince Consort of Ming Dynasty, but the others don't know it yet.

Several people saw the ceremony, and immediately walked into the command room of the Hongwu.

After arriving in the command room, Lu Aiguo knelt down in front of Li Dingguo again:

"Captain, our army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle in the Osumi Strait. More than 100 warships sank and more than 1 soldiers died in battle. Lu Aiguo is incompetent and asks the Marquis to punish him."

Seeing Lu Aiguo kneeling down suddenly, Li Dongyang reacted quickly, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Dingguo:

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the Marquis."

() Chapter 698 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

Seeing Lu Aiguo and Li Dongyang knelt down to plead guilty, Li Dingguo hurriedly helped them up:

"Please, two generals. Most of you are in the army. You have little experience in naval battles. Failure is normal. Besides, it is a common thing in military affairs. The subsequent naval battles will be directed by Dudu Zhang."

Li Dingguo, as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Kyushu Island, did not blame Lu Aiguo for his loss of soldiers and generals.

Let the army go to fight the Japanese navy, failure is normal.

However, this was the emperor's order, and Li Dingguo could not raise any objections. The emperor's actions must have his own considerations.

Zhang Huangyan nodded with a smile:

"General Lu has worked hard. After this battle, the brothers must be physically and mentally exhausted, tired and hungry. An order has been sent to the soldiers to have a full meal and rest for a while before our whole army goes out."

Lu Aiguo hastily bowed and saluted:

"Thank you Dudu, the general will go back and prepare."

Saying goodbye to Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan, Lu Aiguo and Li Dongyang returned to the North Korean fleet.

Now that the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty is here, the Korean soldiers can have a meal with peace of mind.

The North Korean wounded were also sent to the Daming medical ship for treatment.

After Lu Aiguo left, Zhang Huangyan took out the map given by the emperor, and discussed with Li Dingguo how to attack Kyushu Island.

They took a closer look at the topographic map of Kyushu Island. Kyushu Island is very large and the terrain is relatively complicated.

One of the eight major places in Japan, there are many famous Japanese towns on the island, such as Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Saga, Oita, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, etc. are all on Kyushu Island.

If the Ming army wants to land, it must first defeat the Satsuma Navy, which is the main force of the Japanese Navy.

According to reports from scouts sent out, no Japanese warships were seen in the Osumi Strait.

Zhang Huangyan looked at the map of Kyushu Island and said to Li Dingguo:

"Commander, the Japanese navy suddenly withdrew from the Osumi Strait. It must be waiting for our decisive battle on the Satsuma Peninsula. This battle is very important. As long as the Satsuma Domain Navy can be defeated on the Satsuma Peninsula, the Japanese Navy will cease to exist."

Although Li Dingguo has never commanded a naval battle, he has personally experienced two naval battles.

One was the battle to recover Taiwan, and the other was the battle to attack Batavia.

Both World Wars faced the world's most powerful Netherlands Navy, which is known as the existence of the Sea Coachman.

As a result, Daming easily regained Taiwan with its iron-clad warships, and took Batavia forcefully.

Japan's navy is simply not comparable to that of the Netherlands.

When the Yuan army was defeated at the beginning, it was only because of the large number of people and the typhoon that they were lucky enough to win.
