Zheng Sen handed over the information on Jeju Island to Masao Takawa. When he opened the information, he saw a map of Jeju Island. Jeju Island was a long and narrower island from east to west, about 140 miles long from east to west and 80 miles wide from north to south. There was not much troops deployed on the island. There was a county town on this island. Hanna Mountain in the middle of the island was a mountain more than 600 meters high.

There is a small county town at the foot of Hanna Mountain. There are about 30,000 residents in the city, another 500 Korean soldiers, more than 100 yamen runners, and one thousand strong people. This is all the troops in the county. Hanna Mountain is surrounded by flat grasslands, and there are woods near the beach near the beach. There are small fishing villages around several fruit forests. There are about twenty fishing villages in total, and each fishing village has more than 500 to 1,000 people, with a total of 15,000 fishermen and their families.

There were not many North Korean soldiers scattered around the foot of Jihanna Mountain. The combined force of several places was only 1,000. In addition, the strength of the Korean soldiers and civilians in the county was strong, the total force was no more than 3,000.

Seeing the information, Takawa Masao said: "Young Master, as long as I go back and summon five hundred samurai and bring one thousand footsteps with me, it will be enough to control the entire Jeju Island. As long as the young master can defeat the North Korean navy and prevent them from landing."

Zheng Sen nodded: "Okay, I'll send you back to Japan. After you go back, you can summon the samurai and Zuqing as soon as possible. Recruit people. Come and report to me immediately! We'll send you to Jeju Island!"

Then, Masao Takawa brought six close-fitting samurai, boarded the Princess Kunxing and sailed towards Japan. It is expected that in two days and one night, Princess Kunxing will send Takawa and the others home, and then Princess Kunxing will return on its own. Masao Takawa will stay in Japan to recruit samurai and samurai who are willing to go to Jeju Island. After recruiting people, a group of Japanese Anzai ships will be organized to send them to join Zheng Sen, and then the Japanese navy will organize a battle to land on Jeju Island.

At Penglai Port, a fleet of transport ships flying the banner of Zhejiang maritime merchants slowly entered the port. The fleet had a total of 28 transport ships of all sizes, all of which were sand ships with a cost of 600 to 1,000.

Sand ships are typical Zhejiang maritime merchant ships with flat bottoms and low draft. They are especially suitable for shipping from the ocean to the Yangtze River, and can even navigate in small rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they are flat bottoms, they have good wave resistance and are specially used for northern routes. However, because of flat bottoms, their wave resistance is not as good as Dafu ships, so sand ships cannot take the routes of the South China Sea.

The sand boat is relatively wide, and the entire ship is flat, just like a piece of paper floating on the sea. Therefore, although the draft is shallow, the wave resistance is not bad. The disadvantage of the sand boat is also because it is flat, with large resistance during navigation and slow speed.

The speed of the lucky ship is six to seven knots, while the speed of the sand ship is only three to four knots. It can be said that it is about the same speed as a person walking. It takes about ten days to arrive from the Yangtze River estuary to Penglai Port. The Princess Kunxing fly-scissor ship takes only one day, two nights or two days and one night. Even the lucky ship only takes four days, four liquids to arrive.

There are only two ways for ships to resist waves. One is the draught of sharp bottom, and the other is the draught of flat hull, and the other is the draught of flat hull. The fly-scissor is a relatively compromised ship type. Although the draft is not deep, it is deeper than a sand ship, and it is a draught of sharp bottom ship. It does not have a draught of lucky ships, but the center of gravity is low.

Although the sand ships are slow in speed, the living area on the ship is large and sailing smoothly in the sea, which allows sailors to suffer less during long-term sea navigation.

After the twenty-eight sand ships arrived in Penglai, the workers on the dock began to unload cargo from the ship.

The first thing to be unloaded was bags of grain, mainly rice from Huguang, and a large amount of sweet potatoes, sweet potato flour, etc. The flour and millet were grown in Shandong and could be self-sufficient. However, the small Jiaodong crowded millions of military and civilians, and the self-produced grain was definitely not enough. It also needed to provide it to Jiangnan to ensure the supply of local anti-Qing military and civilians.

Zhao Peng stood on the dock and directed the workers to unload the goods. What he was most concerned about was a batch of new cannons transported with the grain this time.

The food in the cabin was emptied. The porters finally laid the wooden board from the hatch to the cabin under the guidance of the Jinyiwei, and then pushed a cannon in the cabin to the wooden board.

The people behind pushed the cannon, and the people in front pulled the cannon with ropes, pushing it forward and backward, finally pushing the cannon out of the cabin, then pushing it over the deck, and then passing the cannon to the shore through the springboard.

The new cannons sent from Nanjing to Jiaodong this time included eighteen twelve-pound field cannons, seventy-two-pound field cannons, thirty-six twelve-pound howitzers, eighteen 64-pound mortars and one hundred and twenty 24-pound mortars.

Along with these cannons, there were 2,460 gunners, and supporting ammunition.

A twelve-pound field gun, a twelve-pound howitzer and a six-pound field gun were pushed down from the ship, and then the respective ammunition trucks were pushed down from the car by the porters.

In addition to artillery, the fleet brought twenty-four newly built rifled rifled rifles. Although these muskets were inconspicuous, their role on the battlefield would not be inferior to that of cannons. With such weapons, they could shoot and kill Qing generals in a cold gun.

After the cannon cart and ammunition cart were pushed down, the Jinyiwei and the gunners connected the cannon cart and combined it into a four-wheeled cart. Then someone led the horses and hung the horses on the four-wheeled cart, and then they could lead the cannons and walk around.

Although this batch of cannons were old artillery that participated in the counter-insurgency battle, their artillery carriages were the latest artillery carriages. All artillery mounts were replaced and replaced with new artillery mounts. The new artillery mounts were connected with the artillery wheels with rolling bearings. The artillery wheels were also new, covering an outer layer of Eucommia glue.

The new four-wheeled carriage composed of gun mounts and ammunition trucks are connected to the wheels using rolling bearings. Only one horse can pull a twelve-pound field gun weighing nearly 4,000 kilograms and easy to move. The much lighter six-pound gun and twelve-pound howitzer, a horse pulls the gun van and ammunition truck, can move like flying. It moves on flat ground and is not inferior to the cavalry at all.

"These cannons look really good!" Seeing the brand new cannons coming, Shen Yunying was excited to clap her hands like a child.

"The cannons made by the Marquis himself are naturally much more powerful than those of Jiannu!" said a Jinyiwei.

Shen Yunying snorted: "How do you know if you haven't tried it? Let's go, pull the cannon and fight with Jiannu!"

Zhao Peng laughed: "Miss Shen, let me see the power of our new Ming cannon! Let's go to the front line to test the cannon! Let Jiannu taste our power!"

Chen Yunying snorted: "It's so amazing? I don't believe it anymore! It's a mule or a horse that pulls it out!"

To be honest, Chen Yunying actually has a very good impression of Zhao Peng, especially when she saw Zhao Peng standing in front of the soldiers and speaking a while ago, her speech was inspiring and exciting, and her favor in her heart increased a few more points. But when she thought of herself as a young widow and Zhao Peng was the prince consort, even if she married him, she could only be a young man. Thinking of this, she didn't want to think about anything more.

"Go and go!" Zhao Peng gave the order.

More than 2,000 gunners and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, carried 264 new artillery pieces, and under the escort of the two thousand Jinyiwei, they set out from Penglai to Changyi Front.

It took more than 40 miles to arrive, and the New Army artillery team took three hours to arrive.

When he arrived at a large bastion, Liu Zhaoji ordered his personal soldiers to shout at the top of the city.

The defenders on the front of the city saw a team of artillery coming from Penglai, and saw the gun team holding the "Liu" flag. Then they saw that the cannons were pulled in the cannons. The defenders on the front of the city cheered: "Our cannon is here! It's the red cannon!"
