Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Following Zhou Chuanjun's order, it was passed to various departments of the Jiaozhou Army.

The Jiaozhou Army quickly began to gather, and then rushed directly from their station to Penglai Military Port.

This time Zhou Chuanjun also spent a lot of money.

Shandong Province is a province with a large population, so there are 23 Jiaozhou troops in Shandong Province.

This time, Zhou Chuanjun directly pulled out nearly 15 Jiaozhou troops and prepared to invade Goryeo.

The transfer of 15 people can be said to be a large project, and the weapons, equipment, and logistical materials involved are astronomical.

If Lin Yi hadn't given an order to Zhou Chuanjun as soon as the war started, asking him to prepare in advance, I'm afraid it would have taken four or five days to prepare just the supplies.

The Jiaodong Army is not like the Dongchuan Army, which has a poor family background and only needs one gun per man.

Even the Dongchuan Army had to abandon a large number of weapons before they could set off in one day.

But the Dongchuan Army made supplies in Hanyang and Hucheng respectively before boarding the ship.

Including the Dongchuan Army, there are two divisions in total, with more than [-] people, so the Dongchuan Army does not need to prepare as much as the Jiaozhou Army.

But the Jiaozhou Army is different. Its number is four to five times that of the Dongchuan Army, and its equipment is much better than that of the Dongchuan Army.

Therefore, Lin Yi only enhanced part of the firepower configuration for the Jiaozhou Army. Most of the remaining weapons and ammunition are the Jiaozhou Army's own.

Therefore, the Jiaozhou Army needs to prepare more.

Since Zhou Chuanjun received the order in advance, he began to prepare from the beginning of the war. Even some weapons and ammunition were loaded in advance, and he arrived in Penglai the next day.

After arriving at the Penglai military port, Zhou Chuanjun had to instruct the soldiers to load equipment on the ship, and on the other hand, he had to discuss the march route with his staff.

Wang Hongchang, as the commander of the team escorting Zhou Chuanjun, also attended this meeting with Zhou Chuanjun.

Zhou Chuanjun, dressed in the military uniform of an imperial general, strode into the conference room.

Although it was getting late outside at this time, the lights inside the headquarters were still bright.

When the division commanders of the Jiaozhou Army saw Zhou Chuanjun entering the conference room, they all stood up and stood at attention.

"Sit!" Zhou Chuanjun glanced around the crowd and said to them.

When the commanders of the Jiaozhou Army heard Zhou Chuanjun's order, they all sat down again and stared intently.

When Wang Hongchang saw how uniform the Jiaozhou army was, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart about how strict Zhou Chuan's army was in running the army.

"Let me introduce to you, the person next to me is the fleet commander of the First Army, Wang Hongchang, Major General Wang. Everyone applauds and welcomes!"

After Zhou Chuanjun said this, he took the lead in applauding Wang Hongchang.

The other division commanders present heard Zhou Chuanjun's words and applauded to express their welcome to Wang Hongchang.

But the applause did not last long. Zhou Chuanjun pressed his hands down and the applause stopped immediately.

"Okay, let's get down to business. You have all been with me for many years and you all know my temper."

"This time, thanks to Prince Rui's respect, he transferred our Jiaodong Army to fight in Goryeo, and gave our Jiaodong Army a difficult task. Let us block the southward retreat of the enemy forces in Pyongyang."

"So, our primary goal this time is Seoul! Let's talk about the combat mission!"

When Zhou Chuanjun said this, he opened a folder in front of him.

"Wang Lu of the [-]st Division, you, Wu Peng of the [-]nd Division, and Yu Hanchi of the [-]rd Division form the First Army. Your mission is to land directly from Incheon and go north along the Hanping Railway to attack Gushan and Shaliyuan. Block the enemy forces from Pyongyang from moving south."

"The fourth division, Gao Pengfei, the fifth division, Que Xuming, and the sixth division, Xu Jiahao, you three divisions form the second army, march eastward along the railway, capture Yichuan, secure the border, and block the eastward route of the enemy from Pyongyang."

"The remaining seventh and eighth divisions will attack Seoul with all their strength!"

Upon hearing Zhou Chuanjun's order, the nine division commanders present immediately stood up and gave a military salute to Zhou Chuanjun.

"Okay, execute the order!"

"In addition, all troops must board the ship at ten o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest without any mistakes."

"Yes, don't worry, Commander!" the division commanders said again before walking out of Zhou Chuanjun's headquarters.

"Hahaha, I have long heard that the commander-in-chief of the Jiaozhou Army, Marshal Zhou, is a popular figure. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."

Seeing all the division commanders leaving, Wang Hongchang looked at Zhou Chuanjun and said.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, you don't know whether to act vigorously or not. If you don't keep a close eye on these little brats under my command, they will cause trouble for you all day long."

"I have no choice but to keep a close eye on them to avoid causing any trouble."

"It's okay in Daxia. With my old face, if they really cause any trouble, I can still think of a solution for them."

"However, Goryeo is different. From afar, Goryeo was a vassal state before Daxia. To cause trouble there would be to embarrass the empire again."

"To put it more closely, if I cause trouble, I'm afraid it will affect the prince's grand plan, so it's better to be strict." Zhou Chuanjun said with a smile.

"The commander-in-chief is right. Now the prince has finally gained an advantage in Korea. If some people's actions arouse the hostility of the Korean people, it may cause trouble for the prince."

"As subordinates, we should share the Lord's worries instead of causing trouble for the prince." Wang Hongchang deeply agreed with Zhou Chuanjun's words.

Afterwards, Zhou Chuanjun discussed with Wang Hongchang the march route and landing of the Jiaozhou Army, and then Wang Hongchang said goodbye to Zhou Chuanjun.

After all, as the fleet commander, Wang Hongchang himself had many things to deal with.

The next day, in the afternoon, the Jiaodong Army began to board the ship.

In order to be able to send [-] people and equipment to Incheon at once, Wang Hongchang mobilized more than [-] civilian merchant ships this time.

There is no way, who makes Wang Hongchang not have enough transport ships.

With so many merchant ships operating together, the scene is still very spectacular, and it is also very dangerous.

However, fortunately, Wang Hongchang had already defeated the Sakura Kingdom's fleet before and captured the Rakshasa Kingdom's Baltic Combined Fleet.

This means that the ships that can still sail in the North Sea are all Daxia ships.

Otherwise, Wang Hongchang would not dare to let so many merchant ships move together.

If an enemy attacks at this time and casually sinks a merchant ship, there will be thousands of casualties.

Neither Wang Hongchang nor Zhou Chuanjun could afford this number of casualties.

But now, there are no enemies in the entire sea area. The only four remaining battleships of Sakura Kingdom are still hiding in the military port and do not dare to go to sea at all.

But even so, Wang Hongchang also gathered more than [-] warships for this escort.

Except for the battleship Qinhuang, Baiqi, cruiser Wangjian and Gaiden, the rest of the battleships were all captured Rakshasa Kingdom battleships.

The Hanzu also stayed with the other half of the fleet to block the Tsushima Strait to prevent the Sakura people from sneak attacks.
