Chapter 455 The First Mission

A few days later, Jiang Lang's fleet arrived at Gao Qiang.

Originally, a small fishing village became very lively because of the arrival of the Ming Navy. A large number of sea boats were docked in the nearby waters and seemed densely packed. On the ground, countless tents have been built, and there are also mountainous building materials. The soldiers who arrived first in the Ming Dynasty have begun to build a new camp, with so many people that they are like ants on the ground.

Jianglang's new title is the Admiral of the Navy. When the fleet was about to arrive, generals at all levels in the Navy came to greet him by boat. Everyone knows the name of Jianglang in the Ming Dynasty. Although the navy is on the beach, Jianglang's name has long been passed on to the Navy. I heard that the young general was about to serve as the Admiral of the Navy. These generals were excited and full of expectations. After all, they had only heard of Jianglang's name, but had never seen Jianglang.

When these people arrived, Jiang Lang was basking in the sun on the top of the boat. When he heard Sun Yuanbiao report that the other generals of the navy had arrived, he sat up straight. Looking up, he saw that several sea boats were sailing towards him on the vast sea.

"Call them up, I'll wait for them here!"

Jiang Lang said lightly, then closed his eyes again. The sun is good today, so we should bask in the sun well.

"But……!"

Sun Yuanbiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, don't you change the official uniform?"

Jiang Lang didn't open his eyes, and smiled, saying, "This is not the court, don't be so serious, go and let them come up to see me. By the way, ask someone to prepare something for me. I'm hungry!"

After saying that, he didn't talk.

Seeing this, Sun Yuanbiao did not go against Jiang Lang's wishes and turned around to arrange the things Jiang Lang had arranged.

After waiting for a while, someone brought the items up, including several plates of side dishes, some snacks, and a pot of wine. After getting up, Jiang Lang sat cross-legged in front of the table and slowly started drinking the wine.

The ships in the distance were slowly approaching, and the fleet on Jianglang's side had now broken down and was quietly waiting for the ships to arrive. Soon, the ships also came over and stopped a hundred meters away from the fleet. Then, two small boats were lowered from one of the ships, and there were about a dozen people sitting on it. When approaching the fleet, Jianglang's ship was placed down two rope ladders, and then these people climbed onto the ship on the rope ladder. The armor on these people proved that they were not ordinary sailors.

Jiang Lang was enjoying his delicacy at this time. After a while, the sound of stepping on the wooden ladder came, and then the steps stopped in front of him.

"All of them are here?"

Jiang Lang didn't look up, and after asking, he took a sip.

Those generals look at me and look at you. I really don’t believe that the person who was drinking wine slowly in front of me was the general who made the enemy scared. It was not so much a general, but a scholar. Apart from being a little dark, there was no way he could see any military general.

The generals didn't say anything for a long time. Jiang Lang raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "What? No one answered me?"

Jiang Lang's words surprised the people present. Jiang Lang's seemingly plain glance made these generals frightened, as if they were staring at by a beast. Then, a burly man immediately stepped forward and bowed, and then said: "Report to the Admiral, the lower officials are the generals of the navy, and the lower officials are Deng Yuanjue."

Immediately afterwards, the other generals introduced themselves and their official titles.

After the introductions were made one by one, Jiang Lang waved his hand and then said, "Please sit there as you like!"

This was on the deck, with nothing, and there was no place to sit. However, since Jianglang asked them to sit, these generals were immediately embarrassed. Deng Yuanjue, who was the leader, did not hesitate at all. He imitated Jianglang and sat cross-legged on the ground. The generals behind him looked at me and I looked at you, and then he sat on the deck like Deng Yuanjue.

Jiang Lang nodded, put down the cup in his hand, then waved his hand, and immediately a soldier moved the table away. Then, another soldier placed a chart in front of Jiang Lang. This was a chart about the main island of the Komu Army and Gao Qiang. Of course, this was drawn by Jiang Lang based on his own memory. After all, in the original society, Jiang Lang's identity had exposed a lot of these maps. Moreover, in the original society, it was not difficult to buy a chart in this regard. Although the chart was far behind the actual chart based on memory, the chart was already very detailed compared to the chart used by the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Lang pointed at the Nakata with his finger, and then said: "What do you think about this attack on Mu Jun?"

Generals, look at me, I'm looking at you, and then Deng Yuanjue said: "Sir, according to our ideas, instead of helping Gao Qiang eliminate the Komu Army that invaded them, it is better to find out where the Komu Army is now stationed. After all, so many Komu Army cannot stay on the ship, so we think Komu Army must have a base!"

“Good analysis!”

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "As General Deng said, this Mu Army must have an island on this sea as a base. And what we are looking for at present is indeed where the island where Mu Army hides, but our purpose is not to attack them!"

"Not an attack?"

The people present were shocked, and Deng Yuanjue said in confusion: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and did not answer them directly, but asked: "Before this, I would like to ask General Deng first, how many battles have the navy fought so far?"

After thinking about it, Deng Yuanjue said: "The current navy is newly formed, and most of the soldiers are new recruits, so so far, they have not had a real battle, but we practice very frequently and the soldiers are also working very hard!"

"Enough!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "That is to say, these soldiers did not engage in a practical battle at all!"

"But they are all very hardworking!"

Deng Yuanjue said immediately.

"but……!"

Jiang Lang planned to say his words and said, "In fact, they did not participate in any battles. I think you should understand very well that the battle of this navy is completely different from the battle on land. Relatively speaking, the battle on sea is completely different from the battle on land!"

Deng Yuanjue was silent for a moment before nodding, "What the lord is said is very right. So, I don't know what lord is planning now. lord is the admiral. Now we and the navy will all obey the lord's order!"

"That's good!"

Jiang Lang smiled, stood up, looked up at the distance, and said, "The most urgent thing now is to build our military port well!"

Deng Yuanjue and others also stood up, and then said in surprise: "Aren't we here to help Gaoqiang attack Kou Mu Jun this time!"

"The Komu Jun naturally wants to fight!"

Jiang Lang added, "Don't we have 50,000 naval divisions, divided into four teams, patrolling along the coast, and immediately sent people to find the location of the Mujun island. After finding out, we are not allowed to act rashly. Of course, the construction of this military port is not delayed. This is the top priority. I hope that in a few months, in front of us, it will not be an ordinary small fishing boat, but a city, or a fortress!"

Deng Yuanjue also understood what Jiang Lang meant and said, "My lord is planning to build a city here to protect our navy from attacks from land!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and gently knocked on the side of the ship with his hand. Then he continued: "Current location, we have forty years of garrison here. I don't want our soldiers to face the threat of a strong army stationed outside the city at all times. So what we have to do now is to build a city here. I think everyone should be very clear about what this city has. The first is the tall city wall, and the second is the moat. If we connect the moat with the sea, we don't have to worry about the water. As for the firearms used for defense, it will be transported in no time. And among the 50,000 land soldiers who arrived first, I think you know that most of them are craftsmen. The court went through great hardships to bring these craftsmen over, not just for them to build a camp!"

Jiang Lang said so clearly that everyone present could hear it clearly. Deng Yuanjue immediately bowed and said, "We understand the meaning of the adults, and immediately do what they mean. It is getting late now. Please go back to Hong Kong with us. We have prepared the food and drinks. Welcome the adults!"
