Chapter 819: Crazy Koreans (Eighth Update, 15/20 for the Silver Alliance)
I saw that on the misty and rainy sea, countless ships rushed towards the shore like ghosts.
The ships were a haphazard mess, with slightly larger merchant ships but more fishing boats bobbing in the wind and waves.
Every boat was full of people, and the merchant ships were better, all of them looked like soldiers, and the equipment in their hands was all standard knives, but the other small fishing boats were more chaotic.
Some of the fishing boats were small and did not even have a black canopy, and on them sat seven or eight strangely dressed men, some armed with woodcutters, some simply carrying dung forks.
It's just that everyone is screaming, and Liu Hongjian can't hear what they are shouting.
"It's North Koreans." Chang Yu also heard the sound from the east, and said excitedly while touching the blood on his face.
"No, it's a Ming man." At this time, Liu Hong gradually calmed down.
Of course, the reinforcements were brought in by Feng Long, who swam to Busan, and in fact Feng Long was brought up by fishing boats along the coast.
The distance of a hundred miles was not casually talked, Feng Long fainted from exhaustion before he could swim to the shore, but the first thing he did when he woke up was to tell the fishermen to take him to the local officials quickly.
However, Feng Long didn't know the local language, and the fishermen only thought Feng Long was a madman, and gave him a bowl of porridge and didn't care about him.
Feng Long rushed all the way to the local yamen, fortunately, the officials sent to the Korean provinces under the Ming Dynasty were all in the same language as the Ming Dynasty, Feng Long took out his badge of the Beiyang Navy Division to confirm his identity, and the local officials immediately took him to the prefect's yamen.
Wang Congyan, the prefect of Busan, was an official transferred from the northeastern province, and when he heard that the king of Anguo was trapped on a desert island only 100 miles away from his possessions, his fate was unknown, and he was furious.
As a witness, he knew about the war of the King of Anguo against Jiannu in the northeastern province, and he understood the significance of the King of Anguo to the Ming court.
Wang Congyan didn't dare to slack off, but there was no sailor in North Korea, and he couldn't do anything as a civilian official, so he took Feng Long to Changyuan again, and He Mancang, the general soldier of Changyuan, was furious when he heard it.
There are soldiers in his station, but what about the ships? Wouldn't it be possible to swim all over without a boat?
But the problem always had to be solved, and Wang Congyan wrote a song of 1,600 li to be sent to the capital in an expedited manner, and on the other hand, he rushed to the coastal towns and villages with hundreds of officials.
Wang Congyan's method was very direct, and he sent people on the streets along the coast to release the news, and the Korean people in the coastal areas were wiped out in just one day.
Since Daminna Korea became a province, under the coordination of Governor Qu Jianhong, Korea achieved peace in a very short period of time, and at the same time, the imperial court transferred potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops from the interior.
In just one year, the people of the entire North Korean province did not know about hunger, and Qu Jianhong followed Liu Hongji's wishes, and always adhered to the concept of ethnic equality in the Korean region, and did not treat the aborigines unequally.
In the bloody battle of Wang Jing, Liu Hong, the king of Anguo County, gradually led them to defeat the barbarian Morozov, so that their lives were guaranteed, and Liu Hong gradually brought them peace and food for their survival.
Many local people even worshipped Liu Hongjian at home and honored him as the king of liberation.
Now that the prefect of Busan had told them that the king of Liberation was surrounded by a band of barbarians, and that it was only a hundred miles away from them, how could the Korean people not be angry?
There's no boat, right? Is it okay to have a fishing boat? Is it okay for merchant shipping?
In the shortest possible time, the North Koreans in the coastal areas collected all the ships that could be used, including passing merchant ships, and requisitioned them in droves regardless of their origins.
In just three days, more than 430 merchant ships of all kinds and fishing boats of all sizes were collected.
He Mancang selected more than 300 fishing boats that could barely carry people out to sea, and embarked on a rescue trip with 6,000 Korean soldiers.
However, the Korean people did not buy it, they thought that 6,000 men were not enough to protect the safety of the liberation king, and since there were still more than 100 ships, they simply followed them spontaneously.
So this is the scene of the moment, the soldiers sitting on the larger boats occasionally get seasick and vomit on the side of the boat, which makes the fishermen on the small fishing boats around laugh.
They came with such majesty towards the nameless island, towards their king of liberation.
Baron Nash was controlling the battle on the battleship at this time, and was stunned when he suddenly saw a large number of warships attacking from the east.
When he stood on the deck and watched through the binoculars, he couldn't say a word as if he were petrified, but his deputy, Froman, calmed down and immediately ordered the remaining artillery on the battleship to open fire on the enemy.
But there were so many warships around, all over the sea, and even some boards hung behind the small fishing boats, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were one or two people lying on the boards.
There was no way that the space on the fishing boat was limited, and some fishermen had to come with tickets, and what about such a large battle with five warships, they simply couldn't cope with it.
In less than half an hour, all five warships were occupied by Korean soldiers, and fishermen armed with woodcutters, steel forks and other sharp weapons rushed to the island in a swarm, and the Dutch soldiers who were still fighting were frightened to throw away the knives in their hands.
Liu Hong's stalemate with the Dutch for five or six days ended dramatically.
On the sea in June, the rain came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for the sun to emerge from the thick clouds.
But war may be dramatic, but the dead soldiers are not.
In just half a day's effort, less than half of the more than 800 soldiers were able to stand up, and the rest were all wounded, and the battle was not unmistakable.
"We, come and greet you, Your Royal Highness!" The newly learned Da Ming language of the Korean people was very stiff, but everyone knelt in front of Liu Hongjian very excitedly.
Liu Hong gradually looked at the Korean people who were waiting for him to speak with a look of hope, and put the war knife in his hand back into its sheath.
"It's too late for lowly support, and I hope the prince will forgive me." The chief soldier He Mancang and the prefect Wang Congyan also knelt on the ground one after another.
"You're just here, just right." Liu Hong gradually helped He Mancang and Wang Congyan up, and then raised his hands to signal the fishermen to get up.
"You've all worked hard, get up." Seeing that the people were still kneeling, Liu Hong gradually said again.
Wang Congyan knew that these people didn't understand, so he had to repeat the language of the Korean people again, and the fishermen stood up with steel forks.
"Lord Wang, you should leave with the people first." Liu Hongyan said to Wang Congyan again.
"Lord, let's go back together, the people of the Korean province are looking forward to your going back and seeing!" Wang Congyan said.
"You go back first, this king still has something to do." Liu Hongjian didn't say anything to do, and after speaking, he thought about walking to the island.
He Mancang seemed to know something when he was a soldier who led the troops to fight, and when Wang Congyan and the Korean fishermen who were overly excited caught up with the boat, and then waited on the shore with the rest of the Korean soldiers.
