Along the way, the speed of the fleet was very fast.
It only took twelve days to arrive at Ganghwa Port Terminal.
Here, Chen Shou, Sun Yan and other generals were already prepared.
On the other side of the harbor, there were more than twenty 16-foot-long sea-going ships.
And in several cement warehouses on the harbor.
It was piled with food and bombs from the previous trip.
Zhu Di got off the ship, inspected the warehouses, and then headed to Kaicheng with a satisfied look on his face.
This time, because the fleet arrived at Goryeo so quickly, Chen Shou, Jin Zhong and others did not react and were unable to greet them.
As Zhu Di and Guo An entered the Kaicheng Palace, all the officials and generals in Kaicheng were shocked.
Chen Shou led all the generals in Kaicheng, Jin Zhong led a group of officials, and Bian Anlie led a group of Goryeo officials and dignitaries to hurriedly pay homage to Zhu Di.
"Have all the 20,000 soldiers of Goryeo been recruited?"
When everyone arrived, Zhu Di asked directly with a solemn expression.
Chen Shou, Bian Anlie and the other generals were immediately shocked.
"Your Majesty, I, the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo, are recruiting three thousand soldiers, and each of the other Goryeo provinces are recruiting seventeen thousand soldiers.
In addition, 30,000 civilians were recruited to deliver food to my army.
Now, they are all fully recruited. "
"Very good."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This time, I will personally lead the army, and Chen Shou will guard the Yan Kingdom.
Guo Qing accompanied the army, Zhu Liang, Qiu Fu, Tan Tong, and Xu Xiang's Qianhu, and another three thousand soldiers from the Yanshan Guards in Kaicheng went out with the king.
As for the soldiers and generals of Goryeo in Yan State, they will be led by Bian Qing!
This time there will be no charge, but more gunpowder bombs, so the Mongolian soldiers will not have to fight! "
"I will obey the order!"
Chen Shou, Bian Anlie and others quickly took orders.
"Order the Goryeo soldiers from all over the country to quickly take ships to Jeolla Province!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Leave in three days!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon, orders were issued from the palace.
Fortunately, in Kaicheng, those Goryeo nobles have various stewards stationed there.
After receiving the order from King Yan, everyone hurriedly went home to deliver the news.
Regardless of whether they want it or not, King Yan's order has come and they must obey it.
However, most Goryeo nobles were very willing.
The Japanese pirates had robbed them for so many years and killed so many of them.
Moreover, the most important thing is that so much property was robbed by Japanese pirates! If they invade the Japanese country and snatch all the property back...
The entire country of Goryeo began to move according to the orders of King Yan Zhu Di.
In the blink of an eye.
The three-day period has arrived.
Ten thousand Korean soldiers have gathered at Ganghwa Seaport.
The remaining 10,000 Goryeo soldiers and generals headed for Jeolla Road along the East China Sea of Goryeo Kingdom.
"Set off!"
Standing on the ship, looking at the more than eighty warships behind him, Zhu Di felt a surge of blood in his heart.
"Follow the order!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan has given an order, the army is about to start!"
"The army moves out!"
The battle flag was waved, and more than eighty large ships began to move slowly.
Driving out of Ganghwa Bay, all the way south, heading straight to Jeolla Province.
…
Outside the Cholla Province of Goryeo, there are mostly islands.
There are hundreds of islands, large and small.
Therefore, Japanese pirates often hide on the islands to plunder Jeolla Province.
However, because Zhu Di wanted to attack the Japanese country.
Early on, Yanshan Guards led thousands of Korean soldiers to inspect all the thousands of islands, and the Japanese pirates on them were immediately surrounded and wiped out.
On this day, a huge fleet came from the northwest, like a long dragon with no end in sight.
"Your Highness, another 10,000 Korean troops are ahead!"
Zhu Liang held a clairvoyance in his hand and hurriedly came to the cabin where Zhu Di was.
By this time, the weather has turned cold.
Unless necessary, Zhu Di and Guo An rarely went out of the cabin.
Zhu Di ordered: "Get closer and ask Bian Anlie to go and check. Bian Anlie will be the commander-in-chief of the Goryeo soldiers.
Then we will dock, replenish food, and attack Japan directly tomorrow! "
"Here!"
Zhu Liang took the order and went down.
After a while, Zhu Di put on fur clothes, held a clairvoyant eye, and walked out.
Looking at Bian Anlie, there was also a group of Yanshan guards checking the Korean soldiers.
Afterwards, the ship docked and distributed woolen hand clothes and hats with only their faces exposed to the ten thousand Goryeo soldiers.
On the shore, there were already 30,000 civilians, escorting 20,000 shi of grain, and some vegetables were waiting.
The next day, the sky was clear, cloudless, and the sea was calm.
The army set out again.
This time, all the Goryeo soldiers and generals were filled with excitement.
They didn't encounter strong wind!
With the blessing of the Poseidon, they will definitely be able to attack the Japanese country this time and plunder the Japanese country ruthlessly.
Four days later.
A huge island appeared in front of them, located in the middle of the sea.
Seeing this big island, some Goryeo nobles were excited and quickly reported to Bien Anlie.
Bian Anlie looked wary, not daring to delay, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, there are Japanese pirates occupying Tsushima Island for a long time!"
"Go down with the order and capture Tsushima Island!"
"I will obey the order!"
Bian Anlie responded directly.
After surrendering to Zhu Di and watching how Zhu Di governed Kaicheng and Yan'an County, Bian Anlie gradually returned to his heart.
This King of Yan must be a great leader of his generation.
Zhu Di ordered Zhu Liang on the side again, "Zhu Liang, send the order, the fleet will surround this island and search for Japanese pirate ships. Don't let the Japanese pirates escape."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As Zhu Liang descended, drums roared and flags waved, Yanshanwei's fleet was immediately divided into four teams, and with more than ten Goryeo warships, they surrounded Tsushima from both sides.
On the flagship.
Zhu Di held a clairvoyant eye, looked at Tsushima Island in the distance, and asked with interest: "Guo Qing, how many Japanese pirates do you think there are on Tsushima Island?"
"More than ten thousand!"
Guo An replied casually.
Zhu Di was stunned, "Guo Qing seems to not value this island very much?"
Guo An replied: "Your Highness, no matter how many Japanese pirates there are, they will all be killed by our army in the end. Why should I care?"
"What Guo Qing said is absolutely true!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly and said, "Send the order and the army will move closer to the big island."
"Here!"
Following Zhu Di's order, the fleet moved closer to the big island again.
After another long while, the trees on the big island could already be seen with the naked eye.
Suddenly, Zhu Liang reported the report with a face full of surprise.
"Your Highness, we discovered a huge bay!"
"The bay? Are there any ships?"
Zhu Di was overjoyed and looked into the distance with his clairvoyance.
On the side, Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, Li Jun and others also hurriedly picked up a clairvoyance and looked into the distance.
Soon, everyone was filled with excitement.
"Such a big bay?"
Without Zhu Liang's reply, Zhu Di had already seen the bay Zhu Liang mentioned.
It is pocket-shaped, narrow on the outside and very wide on the inside. You can't even see it from the boat. It is completely a natural harbor.
"Send the order, block the bay! All remaining ships, enter the search!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
…
Soon, four large ships guarded the harbor, and the remaining more than 30 large ships all entered the bay.
Inside the bay, it is even wider.
Even if more than thirty large ships enter, it is still very comfortable.
There are even several bays inside the bay, which look like a maze.
"Your Highness, we found traces of Japanese pirate ships!"
After a while, Chen Xi shouted.
"where?"
Zhu Di, Zhu Liang and others all looked at each other.
"Your Highness, I also found a ship!"
"Your Highness, there is also..."
Soon, Zhu Neng and Qiu Song also shouted.
At the same time, the large ships behind also issued flag orders. They not only discovered the Japanese pirate ships, but also saw the Japanese pirate figures.
Zhu Liang reported: "Your Highness, there are Japanese pirate ships in four bays. The number is more than 20, and the Japanese pirates are hundreds of people. In addition, Japanese pirate houses were also found around the ships..."
Zhu Di directly ordered, "Kill them and burn them!"
"Here!"
The flag is waved.
A group of warships quickly attacked the Japanese pirate ships.
at the same time.
The Japanese pirates also discovered the Ming Dynasty fleet, and there was a sudden commotion.
There are also some Japanese pirate ships that want to sail out, but their bays are narrow in mouth and wide in belly.
Prince Yan's warships only need two large ships to block the entire bay.
Therefore, those Japanese pirate ships stopped after just a few steps.
Then, all the Japanese pirates ran to the shore while shouting.
At the same time, the Japanese pirates in those houses also ran out.
Holding a bow and arrow, he fired wildly at Prince Yan's ship.
"Rocket counterattack!"
Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and others would not be used to those Japanese pirates.
More than four thousand Koreans took up their bows and arrows, wrapped them in gunpowder, and fought back.
As for the soldiers of Prince Yan's Mansion, they directly put up shields around the ship, and at the same time took out grenades and incendiary bombs.
After lighting it, they threw it towards the Japanese pirates on the shore.
Even the Japanese pirate ships were not spared and were hit by several incendiary bombs.
In the cold winter, the vegetation turns yellow.
The Japanese pirates were all wrapped in thick clothes or bark.
Once the fire starts, it can never stop.
In less than a moment, all the Japanese pirates lost their ability to resist. They either screamed miserably and ran away, or were directly blown to death or burned to ashes.
When the ship docked, all the Korean soldiers jumped off the ship eagerly and chased the Japanese pirates.
There were even some Goryeo soldiers who tortured some Japanese pirates with ferocious faces.
The screams continued, just like purgatory on earth.
However, Zhu Di, Guo An and others looked on coldly and showed no intention of stopping him!
"this……"
On the ship, Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun looked surprised.
"Boy, do you think we are the bad guys?"
Zhu Liang grinned and sneered as if he saw the doubts of Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, Li Jun and others.
Zhu Neng said quickly: "Dad, these Japanese pirates deserve to die!"
"It's natural."
Zhu Liang said coldly, "The battlefield is so cruel.
If these Japanese pirates were allowed to attack the Ming Dynasty or Korea, their behavior would be hundreds of times more cruel than those of the Koreans.
Now, those Koreans are just venting out the tragedies they have suffered over the years. "
"I see!"
Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, the fire is still spreading."
At this time, Tan Tong came over from one side and reported to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di raised his head and looked around, frowning slightly.
"Continue to set fire to attract all the Japanese pirates on this big island. I don't have time to waste time on these big islands."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Tan Tong responded and went down to deliver the order.
Soon, surrounding such a large bay, blazing fires were ignited, and black clouds rose into the sky.
In the valley not far from the bay, there are several Japanese pirate towns scattered around.
After seeing the black smoke at the bay, the Japanese pirates in the town were immediately frightened. Under the leadership of Ma Zongshi, they formed a large army and rushed towards the bay with ferocious faces.
