Chapter 315 North Korean Navy
The Ming army repelled the attack of the Qing Dynasty's Green Camp Army, and the Koreans temporarily retreated.
"Holding and brave enough to wait for archery skills!" Liu Zhaoji exclaimed.
Chen Yunying looked at Zhao Peng with praise: "Loyal and brave man is really a god! The archery technique is accurate and the gun technique is amazing! One hundred and fifty steps away, one gun kills one enemy!"
"Miss Chen is absurd!" Zhao Peng bowed to Chen Yunying, "But I have something unknown. Isn't Miss Chen from Zhejiang? Since Ling Zun and General Jia died in his country, did Miss Chen escort Ling Zun back to Hangzhou? How could she appear on the battlefield in Shandong?"
Chen Yunying said: "Everyone is responsible for the country in difficulties. Although I am a woman, I should serve the country! Jiannu attacked Laideng fiercely, and this girl was devoted to serving the country, so she came here to fight Jiannu."
"Miss Chen is really a heroine. Compared with Grandma Qin, I really admire her!" Zhao Peng said.
"I've had a fierce battle for an afternoon, are you hungry, are you? Please go to the castle for dinner." Liu Shidou said.
"Please!" Liu Zhaoji made a gesture of invitation.
Zhao Peng and others walked into the fortress above the central fortress. This was the highest point of the fortress. You can see the open land in the east and the sea in the north.
Walking up to the fort behind the fort, there is a spiral staircase leading to the top floor, which is about three meters high from the bottom floor of the bottom road. After walking through the spiral staircase and climbing to the top floor, there is a large hall above it. The top floor is a brick and wood building with windows on all sides, and a conference hall in the middle, which acts as a restaurant at this time.
Standing in the fortress at the top of the bastion, looking at the sea in the north, I saw that the sea was densely filled with ships of the Ming Navy.
Zhao Peng asked: "Can the Jiannu Navy attack the sneak attack?"
"I have been here many times, but I have been repelled by our navy." Liu Zhaoji replied.
Zhao Peng asked again: "Did Jiannu not consider it, bypass our bastion group and land in and attack from behind?"
"Come!" Liu Zhaoji nodded and replied, "They tried to land six times, but they were discovered by our navy and successfully repelled them. Two times, Jiannu had already landed, and they were also repelled by us. Jiannu who came ashore was seasick and his combat power was greatly reduced. We used few cavalry to eliminate the few Jiannu who landed."
While talking, the Huotou soldiers walked up the stairs with a tray of dishes, and placed plates of dishes on the table.
Liu Zhaoji greeted, "Marquis, the food on the stand is very poor, I hope the marquis forgives you."
Zhao Peng looked at the dishes filled with the table and saw a large pot of braised pork in the middle, surrounded by tofu, fruits and vegetables. This was in line with the characteristics of eating large pieces of meat when serving in the army. It was impossible to drink a big bowl of wine. When the two armies were fighting, the army was not allowed to drink alcohol.
"It's already very good to have such a meal in the war. I don't know what the soldiers ate?" Zhao Peng pointed to the dishes on the table and asked.
Liu Shidou replied: "The soldiers all eat steamed buns, pancakes, etc., and put some meat, pickled vegetables and pickled cabbage. Anyway, the food supply is enough."
"That's good. Only when the soldiers eat their stomachs can they fight better." Zhao Peng nodded.
Zhao Peng stood up, stood at the window, looking down at the fort below, and saw soldiers on the fort surrounded by stone tables. There were a large basin on the stone table. The basin was filled with mixed grain buns, and a few small dishes were filled with meat, green onions, sauces, and pickles. Each soldier picked up a mixed grain bun, broke it apart, and put meat, green onions, and pickles into the middle, and then dipped it in sauce. Someone turned around and made a bowl of millet porridge from the wooden barrel behind him, and ate the buns with millet porridge.
"This food is fine." Zhao Peng nodded with satisfaction.
The food transported from the south to Jiaodong is enough, not only enough for the soldiers to eat, but also the excess grain can be raised to raise pigs and chickens to ensure that the soldiers in Jiaodong Anti-Qing can eat well. On the Jiaodong Peninsula, they also grow some wheat and vegetables to ensure that the soldiers here can eat well.
Through chatting with Liu Zhaoji, Zhao Peng learned that on the land of Jiaodong, there are currently 30,000 Ming Army Land Divisions, 80,000 regiments, and Huang Fei's 30,000 naval divisions, a total of 140,000 troops. When necessary, the gentry can raise another 60,000 people, which can make the total defender's troops reach 200,000.
On the Jiaodong Peninsula, there are only two million gentry and people, which means there is one soldier for every ten people. If there is no supply of food and ammunition from the south, ten civilians will not be able to afford one soldier no matter what. It is precisely because of the supply of food from the south that the military and civilians on the Jiaodong front can withstand the Qing army's attack again and again.
The heads of the Korean soldiers who had been cut off before were found to be all with rat-tails of money. The Ming army interrogated the captured Korean soldiers and learned that Dorgon shaved his head and changed his clothes on the Korean Peninsula.
Shaving his hair and changing clothes proved the correctness of Zhao Peng's predictions to the gentry and aroused the fighting spirit of the gentry to resist.
Of course, Dorgon knew that shaving his hair and changing his clothes would arouse dissatisfaction among the Koreans and lead to fierce resistance from the Koreans. However, he had to shaving his hair and changing his clothes in North Korea, because shaving his hair and changing his clothes was a good way to maintain rule. Only by killing those who were disobedient, the rest were honest and obedient guys.
After dinner, Liu Zhaoji took Zhao Peng to the barracks arranged for him to rest.
The sky gradually became darker, and bonfires were lit in the open ground between the bastion groups. A torch was inserted every ten steps above the bastion and between the female wall marquee. The triangular fortress, concave fortress, solid fortress, and behind the hollow fortress, bonfires were lit on various fortifications, and torches were inserted, making the bastion group brightly lit, and the surrounding area was illuminated like daytime to avoid the Qing army's sneak attack at night.
Zhao Peng, who had been tired all day, fell asleep while lying in bed. When he woke up the next morning, someone came to report the message from Penglai: "Marty, the express whistle ship on the sea of our Navy discovered that the Jiannu North Korean Navy set out and was attacking towards our Navy!"
Zhao Peng asked: "How many ships does Jiannu Navy have?"
The spy replied: "The Korean navy of Jiannu is estimated to have more than 30,000 people, and more than a thousand warships of all sizes and sizes, including more than 30 turtle ships. Our army may be difficult to deal with."
Zhao Peng said: "I hope Zheng Sen can help you Laiden Navy defeat the Korean Navy in Jiannu!"
On the surface of the Yellow Sea, navy, with the Qing Dynasty dragon flag and the flag of the Kingdom of Korea, set off from the Korean Peninsula and headed towards the Jiaodong Peninsula. The outer periphery of the Korean Navy fleet is the inner circle of various small warships and sampans, small warships and sampans, which are Korean warships similar to Japanese Anzaka ships and sampans. The inner circle is the characteristic warship of the Bangzi Navy - the turtle ship.
The turtle ship of the Korean Navy is a warship that is twelve zhang long, four zhang wide and two zhang high. It is covered with iron armor on the outside, and there are cannons, muskets and other firearms in the cabin. In fact, the turtle ship is covered with a layer of iron armor on the outside of the slab boat, which is very strong. However, the biggest disadvantage of the turtle ship is that it is short range, slow speed, and poor wave resistance. It cannot fight far away, and can only fight in the nearshore.
The Qing army attempted to bypass the Jiaodong Bastion Group several times and landed from the east of the Jiaodong Peninsula, but were repelled by Huang Fei's Laideng Navy and Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family army. Not only did it fail to do any effect, but it also ruined more than 10,000 elite troops in vain.
So this time, the Qing Dynasty ordered the Korean navy to dispatch all its troops, with the purpose of annihilation of Huang Fei's Laideng Navy in one fell swoop.
On the Jiaodong Peninsula, in addition to Huang Fei’s 30,000 Laideng Navy, there are more than 8,000 Navy in the Zheng family. Although the Zheng family’s navy has a total of more than 30,000 Navy in the Zheng family, the Zheng family’s navy is not in Jiaodong at all times. Most of the time they have to be responsible for transportation from Jiangnan to Jiaodong, and only 8,000 people stayed on the Jiaodong Peninsula.
