Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Gaoyun, inherited the command of Ju Ling.

91: Grab the beach and land in North Korea, and it is easier than you think to capture the port!

In the past, when I was a child in Beiping Mansion, when Zheng He was still called Ma He, the two sides could be said to be very familiar!

Later, when he came to Yingtianfu, after Zhu Di began to send Zheng He to the West, there was a lot less time to meet!

Not to mention after Zhu Gaoxian became a vassal!

"Three treasures, see His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxian again, Zheng He's face had a smile, perhaps under the influence of his master Yao Guangxiao, Zheng He actually had a good impression of this King of Qi who was not visible on weekdays!

Because the master Yao Guangxiao said that His Royal Highness the King of Qi Zhu Gaoxian has a wisdom root!

The same is true for him Zheng He, otherwise he would not have been accepted as an apprentice by Yao Guangxiao, from this point of view, Zheng He naturally felt close to Zhu Gaoxian, and felt that the two should have a common language!

Like Zhu Di's four sons, if you have to arrange them in an order, in Zheng He's opinion, the one he wants to see the most must be Zhu Gaoxian, followed by Zhu Gaochi!

As for the second and third children, on the surface, he is also very polite, but more than that, he is respectful and far away!

Zheng He is definitely a smart person, and naturally he knows what Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are thinking in their hearts, if you really want to be close to them, isn't that a disaster for yourself?

In terms of personal feelings, Zheng He prefers Zhu Gaoxian, a prince who only thinks about cultivation!

But in terms of family and country and loyalty, Zheng He is only loyal to Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi!

And the most important thing is that Zhu Gaoxian did not show any wolf ambitions, and was obsessed with cultivation, so even if Zheng He befriended him in private, he would not have any psychological burden!

"Sanbao, I haven't seen you for many years, but the style is still the same!"

"You are beautiful now, you have been to the West three times, this is a great achievement that can be famous for eternity!"

Zhu Gaoxian also smiled and nodded.

For Zheng He, Zhu Gaoxian just admired, but he never thought of wooing him, and there was no need for that, everything was just as fate!

People are only "three-two-seven" such a thing, and Zhu Gaoxian prefers to cultivate it by himself!

Such as Zhao Jian, such as Geng Qing and Qin Wu!

The commander of the three guards of King Qi, that is his absolute henchman Zhu Gaoxian!

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi has praised it!"

"In this Eastern Expedition to Korea, the Three Treasures still need to rely on His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Zheng He bowed respectfully.

"You should be an expert in naval warfare, but you are not familiar with this king, and when you go to the sea, this king needs to rely on you!"

"But this king is quite interested in your great treasure ship, can you invite this king to visit the ship?"

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and waved his hand, but in fact, the main thing was that the old man Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of emperor souls were very interested in the Daming Treasure Ship, plus he also wanted to see what the Daming Treasure Ship, known as the Daming Aircraft Carrier, had to do, so he directly put forward the idea of getting on the ship.

"Your Highness can board the ship whenever he wants!"

When Zheng He heard this, he agreed very happily.

So Zheng He's butt in the Qi Palace's butt was not hot, and the group came directly to the seaside pier.

The main reason is that the waterline of the Daming treasure ship is too deep, so if you want to land, you can only use a small boat, and back to the treasure ship, the same is true.

"It seems that the dock of this king's Yantai Mansion should also be expanded!"

"At least if your Daming treasure ship comes back in the future, there must be a place to stop!"

Standing on the boat, Zhu Gaoxian also looked helpless.

Naturally, he also has a plan to build a water division, but there is basically no chance in a short period of time, and it is impossible for the old man to allow it if he knows about it!

So at the small wharf here in Yantai Mansion, Zhu Gaoxian didn't think about changing anything.

However, in the future, if the Korean Kingdom really becomes the fief of his Qi King Zhu Gaoxian, it seems that the construction of docks and treasure ships will become a logical thing!

Perhaps this is also the biggest gain of being able to go to North Korea this time, and it is also an unexpected joy!

"What His Royal Highness King Qi said is that if there is a need for the Three Treasures, even if you open your mouth, within the scope of your ability, the Three Treasures can do your best!"

Zheng He smiled and nodded.

That means that as long as you don't violate the principle, you want to build a dock or build a ship, and Your Majesty agrees, then it's naturally no problem!

Soon, the group boarded the Daming treasure ship in a small boat.

When you really see these Daming treasure ships up close, you know what it means to be shocked!

People who see these Daming treasure ships for the first time will definitely be amazed by the huge scale of this Daming treasure ship, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mobile castle on the sea!

The length of the Ming Bao ship is forty-four zhang, the width of the ship is eighteen zhang, according to the length of the Ming Dynasty converted into the unit data of later generations, that is, the treasure ship is 136 meters long, about 56 meters wide, and the displacement directly exceeds 10,000 tons!

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, a giant ship of 10,000 tons is an absolute behemoth!

After boarding the treasure ship, Zhu Gaoxian also visited under the leadership of Zheng He.

Mainly in terms of weapon configuration, it is full of firearms and red-coated cannons, showing its might!

It can be said that in this period, such an armed force can be called the best in the world!

"Your red-clothed cannon looks quite bluffing, but in the eyes of this king, there is still a lot of room for improvement!"

After watching the naval guns test-fired by Zheng He's sailors, Zhu Gaoxian shook his head with dissatisfaction.

The main thing is that this power and range are still a lot worse than the standard that Zhu Gaoxian wants, although it is enough to deal with ordinary ocean island countries, but it is far from enough for Zhu Gaoxian!

"Listen to Your Highness, can you make a better cannon?"

Zheng He couldn't help but feel moved!

Before setting off this time, he also went to Wanshou Temple to find Yao Guangxiao, and also knew that Zhu Gaoxian gave His Majesty a magic amulet!

He knew Zhu Gaoxian's attainments in refining!

If someone else dared to say that, he would have been thrown into the sea a long time ago!

Even if the prince comes, then he has to be anxious!

After all, in Zheng He's eyes, these cannons are real treasures!

"Well, give this king some time, the army will rest in Yantai Mansion for the time being, and when this king gets you some good things to come out, it's not too late to set off for North Korea!"

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and nodded.

He is the commander, and when the army will go out, he naturally has the final say.

Although it is impossible to improve the artillery on every Da Ming Bao ship in a short period of time, it is still possible to improve some of them!

It's also a good time to take this opportunity to put a test and see the power of the cannon you've built!

"The Three Treasures are even more desperate!"

When Zheng He heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up!

He believes that with Zhu Gaoxian's identity, coupled with his character, he will not say anything untargeted in front of him at all!

Since Zhu Gaoxian said so, he must be sure to make a better cannon than these red-coated cannons!

This can't help but make Zheng He look forward to it!

In this way, the fleet chose to set off on a different day.

After Zhu Gaoxian temporarily placed Zheng He in the Qi Palace, he went back directly to his dojo, since he promised Zheng He, it must be fulfilled!

"Why didn't we think before, with your alchemy skills, it is not impossible to refine sharper firearms!"

After knowing that Zhu Gaoxian was going back to the Taoist Temple this time to start building artillery, Zhu Yuanzhang also became excited.

"No matter how good the things that are refined with alchemy, there is no way to mass-produce them. Grandson, this can only get a small batch!"

Zhu Gaoxian said noncommittally.

Directly use magic to make firearms?

Then he must not die of exhaustion?

So much else you don't have to do?

At most, make a batch of samples that can be imitated, and then hand them over to the craftsmen below to study by themselves!

However, in general, this kind of purely physical thing is much easier to manufacture than the flow of real magic weapons, and it is also very easy for Zhu Gaoxian, the only drawback is that it is more time-consuming!

It took half a month for Zhu Gaoxian to finally build ten improved red-coated cannons with the existing materials. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Not only is the gun body stronger, but also the accuracy is higher!

In addition, with the power of the black powder he concocted, the range and power of the cannonball after it was fired were also a step higher, and it was absolutely different from the original red-clothed cannon, at least about five times higher!

Of course, this is not the limit of Zhu Gaoxian, if he is allowed to concentrate on studying these things, it is a matter of time before he makes a more powerful guy.

First, time does not allow, and secondly, he made it, which does not mean that those craftsmen who imitate it can also make it in batches!

Even if these red-clothed cannons after his improvement are estimated to be handed over to the craftsmen below, without a year or two of effort, he can't say that they can be completely eaten!

And after Zheng He test-fired Zhu Gaoxian's ten improved cannons, he immediately replaced all the ten cannons on his main ship!

"It's a pity that time is tight, and there are not enough materials, so we can only make these ten guns for the time being!"

"Let's use it first!"

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile.

"Your Highness, don't be presumptuous, where is this general? This cannon you built, one can be worth ten of me!"

Zheng He shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

How can people who have the ability to be so humble?

And after coming to Shandong this time, he saw the prosperity of Yantai Mansion and the changes in Shandong, which made Zheng He even more admired Zhu Gaoxian!

Once when he followed Zhu Dijing to fight in Shandong, he also knew what kind of bird Shandong was!

I didn't expect Zhu Gaoxian to be able to develop Shandong to this extent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle!

After the cannon is improved, it is time for the army to set off!

Before leaving, Zhu Gaoxian also left a development plan for the Li family.

Now it's August, and the end of the year is coming in a blink of an eye, Zhu Gaoxian said that he should try to return to the dynasty before the New Year!

After all the explanations were completed, Zhu Gaoxian and Zheng He also led a fleet of 150,000 people from Yantai Mansion!

"Sambo, based on your experience, how long will it take to get to Korea?"

After the fleet officially lifted anchor, Zhu Gaoxian stood at the bow of the ship blowing the sea breeze, and asked Zheng He on the side at the same time.

"If they are all Daming treasure ships like this main ship, one day will be enough!"

"However, the number of Daming treasure ships is only a few dozen, and there are more small boats, just to arrive in North Korea, under the right wind direction, three days is enough!"

"However, the most important thing is to find a suitable landing site, and in the early stage, you need to use small boats to land on the beach, and after controlling the dock and coastline, the big ship can find a suitable place to dock!"

"In this way, it will take at least ten days to half a month, and during this time, it can only be hard for His Highness to float on the sea all the time!"

Zheng He explained with a wry smile 0 ...

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxian nodded slowly.

Yantai is not far from the Korean Peninsula in a straight line, it is simply a matter of going back and forth, and it is enough to estimate it for two or three days!

But this is a war, and it takes ten days and a half to find a chance to land at sea for ten days and half a month, which is also a normal thing, and it must be beautiful!

This is also Zhu Gaoxian's first time going to sea by boat, and at the beginning, even Zhu Gaoxian was a little uncomfortable!

It's not that there is anything uncomfortable in his body, he just hasn't gotten used to the feeling of rootlessness at sea, after all, the feeling of the hull swaying with the waves is not too comfortable!

But two days later, Zhu Gaoxian gradually got used to it!

And this time, Zhu Gaoxian went to sea and brought more than a dozen cooks to be responsible for his meals!

For this aspect, Zhu Gaoxian naturally would not wronged himself, and let Zheng He also be stained!

"Three treasures, I found that most of the soldiers on the ship carried a cloth bag around their waists, which seemed to be ordinary dirt, what are they used for?"

When Zhu Gaoxian was eating, he casually asked Zheng He.

"Oh, those are the soil of the homeland of all the soldiers, every time they sail, everyone does not dare to guarantee whether they can return to the dynasty alive, and bring a handful of hometown soil on their bodies, it should be just a thought!"

Zheng He also explained while eating.

In fact, during this time, following Zhu Gaoxian, he also learned a lot!

He was originally Yao Guangxiao's apprentice, and he also knew that Zhu Gaoxian was a cultivator, and after this period of contact, he found that Zhu Gaoxian was even more unfathomable in terms of learning!

And Zhu Gaoxian, naturally, also knows that Zheng He is Yao Guangxiao's apprentice, and has been instilled with all kinds of loyal and patriotic thoughts by Yao Guangxiao since he was a child, to put it bluntly, he has been brainwashed!

Not to mention, Yao Guangxiao is definitely an expert in brainwashing, after all, Zheng He finally contributed his life to the Ming Dynasty!

......

In fact, on the third day after departure, the fleet began to float in the coastal waters of Korea!

On the one hand, they have to wait for the big troops behind, after all, the speed of the small boat is not as fast as their big Ming treasure ship!

On the other hand, it is also necessary to formulate a more detailed landing operation plan!

About five days later, the fleet of 150,000 troops had basically been assembled in the coastal waters of Korea.

But what is the situation near the coastline of North Korea, Daming is basically unclear, so you have to let people take a small boat to find a suitable place first, go ashore and dive in to reconnoitre, and find a suitable landing site!

Finally, fifteen days after the departure of the fleet, Zhu Gaoxian decided to carry out a landing operation!

Everyone finally saw the coastline again half a month later!

And this time, the place where the landing was decided was at the mouth of the Sanquan Strait!

"Sanbao, I'll teach you the command of this battle, you have experience in the landing process of naval battles, and you are more familiar with it than this king, and I, a layman, will not command an insider!"

Zhu Gaoxian 1.2 handed over the command directly to Zheng He before the battle officially began.

"Your Highness, rest assured!"

Zheng He nodded heavily, and he also admired Zhu Gaoxian's move to delegate power!

If this is replaced by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, maybe it's really hard to say who is in command!

In fact, in Zhu Gaoxian's opinion, he just needs to lie down and win this wave, and he doesn't need to make a move at all!

After going back and waiting for the shore, it's not too late to take over the military power!

Soon, under the command of Zheng He, a row of Daming treasure ships sailed within the range of the cannons, and threw the muzzles of the guns at the fortifications of the Korean side at the mouth of the strait!

A volley of fire went down without warning, and suddenly the artillery fire was in the sky!

At the same time, many small boats also went to the sea one after another, and a large number of Ming soldiers rushed to the land on small boats and oars, and landed on the beach under the cover of artillery!

On the Korean side, the ridiculous thing is that there are less than 10,000 defenders, watching the dense ships rushing over, and before the battle starts, one by one they have already shown their timidity!

The main thing is that the first wave of artillery salvos is deafening, so that these North Korean defenders have not been able to react!

When the Ming army rushed ashore, rows of firecracker troops began to advance inland step by step under the cover of the shield army!

Zhu Gaoxian sat at the top of the treasure ship, looking at the battle situation on the shore, and couldn't help nodding.

This platoon of troops is arranged, Zheng He is really very skilled!

"I didn't expect to land so easily, the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, all over the world, the thief army was cowardly before fighting!"

Zheng He said with a smile on his face.
