Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 85 Formation of the Expeditionary Force

"The Chudley Department of the First Battalion of the Second Brigade is all in place, please give instructions, Lord Commander!"

"The Huang Weiyao Department of the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]rd Brigade is all in place, please give instructions from the Lord Commander!"

"The main force of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Brigade has been fully prepared, please give instructions, Lord Commander!"

"All the cannons of the third battalion of the Artillery Brigade have been loaded onto the warship, please give instructions from the Lord Commander!"

Proud battalion-level officers and even brigade officers like Chen Jisheng stood upright in front of Chu Yun, their eyes full of passion.

This time, in addition to mobilizing the entire navy, Chu Yun also mobilized three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, a total of four battalions of 4000 army troops.This does not include the logistics arms and the temporary boatman, it is really mighty.

Of course, not all soldiers could be sent to Dongpu at one time. After all, there was a long distance from Liaonan to Dongpu, and Chu Yun's transport ships were far from enough to transport so many soldiers and supplies at the same time.

"This time, Chen Jisheng's [-]th Brigade, [-]st Battalion and Artillery Battalion set off with the naval fleet on a troop carrier. The [-]nd Brigade and the [-]rd Brigade will return to the ship to pick you up after we have defeated the opponent's navy," Chu Yun ordered.

"Yes!" Chadley, a Frenchman, and Huang Wei, Yao Qiqi, who came over from Houjin, replied.

"The troops began to board the ship, do the final inspection, and set off when everything is ready!"

In the wharf of Dalian Port, nine warships, dozens of troop carriers and grain carriers began to get busy, and teams of soldiers boarded the ships in an orderly manner.

"The first batch of troops consisted of one battleship, four frigates, four armed merchant ships, and 36 other large and small ships. There were a total of more than [-] naval soldiers, hundreds of infantrymen, more than [-] artillerymen, and hundreds of logistics teams. "

"More than [-] people from the second batch of troops are on standby in Dalian Port. As long as we gain a firm foothold in Dongying, the second batch of troops can go to reinforce at any time." Chen Ting worked neatly with the Arabic counting method he had just learned. It clearly lists the number of people and supplies of each ship, which seems to be much more intuitive than a pile of text.

"Three 5000 people can't eat Dongying, but we don't need to anger the Tokugawa shogunate this time. Our goal is to eliminate the Hizen clan and give them a warning. Three 5000 people are more than enough. If everything is ready, we will Set sail." Chu Yun boarded the tall first-class battleship Victory, "Chen Ting, let you take care of the internal affairs of the three guards in southern Liaoning, don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, all the subordinates will take care of these chores for the adults." Chen Ting respectfully watched Chu Yun board the boat.

woohoo-

The horn sounded, and the sailors worked together to raise the anchor and drum up the sails.

The mighty fleet slowly left the port under the watchful eyes of thousands of people at the pier.

Phi Island in Dongjiang Town was originally Mao Wenlong's base camp, which is close to Korea.Therefore, the Goryeo fleet came to berth at Phi Island, ready to join forces with the fleet of the Liao Army coming from Dalian Port.

"Although our Koryo is not as powerful as the Celestial Kingdom, our navy is not weaker than yours. 30 years ago, our General Yi Sun-shin led the turtle boats to defeat hundreds of Japanese ships, which made the people of Dongying frightened. Happy?"

"The fight against the Japanese pirates 30 years ago was also due to the contributions of General Chen Lin and General Deng Zilong of our Daming Navy. Without our Daming Navy, it would not have been so easy to defeat the Japanese pirates."

General Cui Xiaoyi of the Koryo Navy chatted with the officers of the 30th Brigade stationed in Phi Island on Phi Island. A group of people talked about the seven-year battle 30 years ago, and they argued endlessly.Generally speaking, each side wants to feel that it has contributed the most.Only those who participated in the battle [-] years ago really know who is responsible for what, and these people are either dead or dying of old age.

"This statement is wrong. 30 years ago, our Koryo turtle boats killed the people of Dongying. In the great victory of Liangliang, General Yi Sun-shin sank more than 12 enemy ships with 30 warships and wiped out more than 1000 enemy people. It can be seen that our Koryo navy can It’s easy to beat Dongying. This time our king sent two turtle boats and ten wooden houseboats to prove to you that the Korean Navy is still as brave as ever.” Cui Xiaoyi said.

"Forgive me, your Koryo naval division is not much better than our Dongjiang naval division, let alone our Daming level." Xu Fuzuo, a general of Dongjiang Town and deputy brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade argued.

"I don't think so. When we arrived, the ships in the port of Phi Island were just some ordinary ships used for transportation, not even the wooden house boats of our Koryo Navy. There are only two old Fuchuan Comparable to our turtle ships."

Cui Xiaoyi also quarreled stubbornly.

"No matter what happened in the past, the navy of our Liao army is much stronger than before, and the turtle boats are really nothing." Xu Fuzuo said.

"The Daming Navy has ships that are more advanced than our turtle boats? I don't believe it." Cui Xiaoyi shook his head.

"It's not the navy, it should be the navy to be precise. When our Liao army's fleet arrives at Phi Island, you will know our Ming's true strength." Xu Fuzuo said expectantly.

"I don't believe it, how can there be a ship better than our turtle boat in this world! If there is, I will jump off this sea area to feed the fish."

The day after the Korean fleet entered Phi Island, more than 40 ships of Chu Yun's navy arrived in Phi Island in an orderly manner.The Victory, like a fortress at sea, sailed far ahead of the fleet, riding the wind and waves.Behind the Victory, frigates and armed merchant ships accompanied the sea and the sky.

The Koryo navy anchored at the port of Phi Island finally saw the ferocious Fuliao navy!
Nearly a thousand Korean sailors, including Cui Xiaoyi, ran to the deck to look in the direction of the navy, stepping on their feet and wanting to see the approaching behemoth.

"How can there be such a large ship in the world, and are those artillery? How is it possible, there are more than ten large-caliber artillery on the three decks!"

"My God, is this really a ship? It's like a fortress full of cannons!"

"We don't have such big artillery in the whole country of Koryo, and there are so many, it's scary..."

When the Korean Navy saw the Victory that covered the sky and the sun, many people even screamed.

Cui Xiao's face turned pale.Before that, he was still bragging to the officers in Dongjiang Town how powerful the Koryo Turtle Ship was.Now, when I saw the huge monster, the Victory with dozens of times the firepower of the turtle ship, this... this... is there anything more than that?

"Ahem, a frigate of the Admiralty of the Liao Army has 28 cannons, how is it better than this turtle ship?" Xu Fuzuo asked proudly.

"The ships of the Celestial Dynasty are too scary, we dare not compare with the ships of the Shang Kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty..." Cui Xiaoyi was about to cry.
