On the shore of Jiao County, the camp of Qingzhou Water Division.

The scorching sun hung in the air, shedding a scorching glow, and the sea shimmered.

Thousands of sails are gathered on the coast, and hundreds of ships are ready to go, from the giant "Zheng He's treasure ship" to all kinds of building ships, fighting ships, ships, and civilian ships requisitioned from the coast in the past few days, more than 400 large and small.

Although Zheng Chenggong, the governor of Qingzhou Navy, is still under the jurisdiction of Li Jing, seeing the arrival of the army, he immediately led his troops to pay homage: "Meet the governor, after two years of development and construction, relying on the financial support of Wang Tingshi, the last general set up a shipyard in Jiaoxian." In addition to the treasure ships, at present, our Qingzhou Navy Division still has 11 building ships, 30 fighting ships, 120 ships, and 21,000 soldiers. ”

In the early spring and March of last year, Zheng He's treasure ship followed Liu Wei to Jiaodong, and then left it to Zheng Chenggong's Qingzhou Naval Division, which was convenient for cruising on the sea, which was equivalent to an aircraft carrier in this period, with a huge volume and a sturdy hull, which would form a great deterrent to the enemy at sea.

This large warship can transport 3,000 soldiers, a building ship can transport about 800 people, a fighting ship can transport 400 people, and a stern can transport 200 people; According to the number of ships provided by Zheng Chenggong, the warships of the entire Qingzhou Naval Division can carry 47,000 soldiers to the sea, which is still the number after removing the helmsman in charge, and it can fully meet Li Jing's requirement of transporting 40,000 people.

However, Li Jing's team belonged to the mixed army of horse and infantry, and in addition to the soldiers, there were 15,000 war horses, so Zheng Chenggong recruited nearly 300 civilian ships of various sizes according to Li Jing's request to transport horses.

"The last general has already loaded all the necessary grain and grass on the ship according to the requirements of the governor. Just wait for the governor to give an order. You can sail to the east and go straight to the Tang capital! Zheng Chenggong bowed his hand. Detailed report.

Li Jing applauded: "There is General Lao Zheng, and the financing is orderly." The dispatch is well-organized, if Li Tang plays the merit in this Eastern Expedition, Jing Ding should be a grand merit for General Zheng! ”

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, with a look of shame: "The last general just received the news of Li Shimin's sneak attack on Jinling the evening before yesterday, as the chief general of the Qingzhou Water Division, I failed to detect Li Tang's conspiracy in time, and it was too late to ask His Majesty for guilt, how dare I say a reward?" ”

"Huh...... General Zheng need not apologize, according to Zhang Zhongjian's envoy. Li Shimin's outlet to the sea is at the southwesternmost tip of the Goguryeo Peninsula, nearly a thousand miles away from Jiaoxian. I don't think I will be guilty of this matter! Li Jing patted Zheng Chenggong on the shoulder and said with relief.

After a pause, Li Jing ordered his soldiers to present the "Topographic Map of the Tang Kingdom" and said to Zheng Chenggong: "I have here the topographic map of Li and Tang that should be presented by Goguryeo, but the soldiers and horses under my command are more afraid of sea navigation, and I don't know that General Zheng is about reaching the peninsula on the other side." How sure are you? ”

As soon as he talked about sailing on the sea, Zheng Chenggong was full of pride, and said loudly: "Rest assured, the last general stored a lot of 'Zinai' last autumn. He has ordered his soldiers to load some onto the ship. After sailing into the sea, the soldiers who are not familiar with water can eat a few more purple nai every day, which is very beneficial for sea navigation. ”

What is Zinai? Sounds mysterious. In fact, it was the apple before Liu Wei crossed over.

Some people think that apples were introduced to China after the Tang Dynasty, but this idea is very wrong. In fact. China is one of the birthplaces of apples, but the varieties are relatively simple. And the fleshy sour cotton, the taste is average, and it is basically wild. Later, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions and brought back some apple seeds, which made the variety of apples in this land of China much richer, but the amount of cultivation was still very rare.

In the spring of last year, Liu Wei successfully crossed the sea to rescue Juxian County and completely expelled Yuan Shao's forces from the Jiaodong Peninsula; He then ordered the people of the Jiaodong Peninsula to plant "Zinai" on a large scale and renamed it Apple. Yantai apples in later generations Laiyang pear, the reputation of the world, Yantai's hilly and mountainous areas, climate monsoon, the most suitable for apple planting, Liu Wei as a traverser, if not in Jiaodong to promote apple planting, how can he be worthy of his identity as a traverser?

Eating more fruits at sea can lower blood pressure, prevent vomiting, quench thirst, and improve the soldiers' fear of the sea, so Zheng Chenggong stored a large number of apples in the cellar last year for emergencies, which came in handy at this moment.

Listening to Zheng Chenggong's words, Li Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised repeatedly: "Okay, great...... General Zheng's familiarity with the sea is really a rare wealth of our Han Dynasty, and with you commanding the soldiers to cross the sea, you will definitely be able to minimize the losses of our army. In the past few days, there have been rumors from Jinling that Li Tang has Li Sunsin, a tiger general who is familiar with naval warfare, and can be worth 50,000 troops; And now it seems that General Zheng can be worth 100,000 troops at sea! ”

"The governor praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed of his success!" Zheng Chenggong bowed his hand and was ashamed, "However, the last general listened to his scouts describe the appearance of the Tang army's turtle boat, which Li Sunsin does seem to have a set at sea. If our army wants to start a war with Li Tang on the sea in the future, we must not take it lightly! ”

Li Jing approved: "What General Zheng said is extremely true, the arrogant army will be defeated, it is better to be cautious!" ”

Zheng Chenggong took Li Jing and the generals to Shuai, pointed to the map and introduced: "From the coast of Jiaoxian County to Chengshantou in Donglai County, it is about 300 li, and from Chengshantou to Haizhou on the Goguryeo Peninsula is only 160 li. In the past year, the Admiral has made three round-trips on this sea route, and has gone many times to spy on the enemy. With a clear grasp of the currents and wind directions, he is confident that he can lead the soldiers to land without fail. According to the calculation of sailing 200 miles in day and night, it will take three days and two nights to land in Haizhou; It is only one hundred and thirty miles from Haizhou to Wang Jiancheng, and the starry night strikes sharply, and it can be reached in one day and one night. ”

Li Jing looked at the map and high-fived and praised: "Good...... Li Shimin was defeated from Jinling five days ago, and according to the calculation of driving 200 miles day and night, it is expected that he has just exited the Yangtze River and entered the East China Sea at this moment. From the mouth of the Yangtze River to the port of Mokpo, where Li Shimin went to sea, it looks like 1,4500 miles, and it will take seven or eight days to land at the earliest. And our army only needed three days and three nights to reach Wang Jiancheng. Moreover, there is still a distance of 1,300 miles from Mokpu Port to Wang Jiancheng, which means that the remnants of Li Shimin's retreat will not be able to return to the Tang capital in half a month at the earliest. ”

Li Cunxiao's face was like frost, he raised his hand and touched his nose, with a rebellious face: "I hope to meet Li Yuanba as soon as possible and see how powerful his pair of sledgehammers are?" If Li Yuan's father and son could be captured alive, wouldn't it be faster? ”

"Cun Xiao, the battle report sent by Jinling said that Li Yuanba killed more than 5,000 people of our army with a pair of sledgehammers of more than 300 catties, and more than 30 generals, including Lin Chong, Ling Cao, and Chen Yucheng, can be called the first fierce general in the world, and they must not be defeated!" Li Jing glanced at Li Cunxiao and warned this brother with a straight color.

Li Cunxiao was a juvenile face: "Brother is optimistic, this time in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the younger brother vows to play twice as much as Li Yuanba's record, and let the world see who is the number one general in the world!" ”

After listening to Li Cunxiao's words, the generals in the tent didn't speak, so they didn't hear it, who let the family be the brother of the governor, and they didn't look at the monk's face but also looked at the Buddha's face! I know that his weapons are very peculiar and his riding skills are very good, but Li Yuanba has changed enough. Anyway, you're going to double your record? This...... Will we be able to fight together happily in the future?

After listening to Li Cunxiao's words, Li Jing put his hands behind his back and solemnly reminded this brother: "Cunxiao, the foolish brother is here to remind you in front of the generals that you are not brave for the generals!" After all, the strength of one person is the courage of a horseman, and only the thousands of troops and horses that can be commanded can achieve fame and fame and go down in history! In the past, the overlord of Chu was known as the king of the mountains and the world, invincible in the world, but in the end, he was defeated by Han Xin's subordinates and killed himself on the bank of the Wujiang River. Although Li Yuanba is brave, how does he compare to Xiang Yuan? Therefore, foolish brother hopes that you will not only focus on force and ignore strategy in the future! ”

"Do as my brother commands!" No matter what Li Cunxiao thought in his heart, he still gave up his orders and followed his brother's teachings.

Li Jing continued: "This Li Shimin was able to unify the entire peninsula in just two or three years, assist Li Yuan to establish Li Tang, and develop the number of soldiers and horses to 250,000. This time, he dared to raid the capital of the Han Dynasty with 9,000 people across the sea, annihilated the Jinling Naval Division, severely damaged the defense of the national capital, and was able to retreat unharmed, and its ability to use troops should not be underestimated. If it can't be eradicated as soon as possible, it will become a big problem in the future! I am waiting for this expedition to Goguryeo, and I will definitely raise my prestige as a great man, so that Fanbang will not dare to face it from now on! ”

"Do as the Governor commands!" The generals will surrender their orders together.

"The whole army boarded the ship and marched east to Goguryeo!"

With Li Jing's order, the 30,000 horse-foot mixed corps from Jinan boarded the ship in an orderly manner under the command of the respective generals, and then Zheng Chenggong's sailors, 15,000 people also followed the warship, leaving only the deputy general to lead 5,000 men to defend the sailor camp.

The moon stars are scarce, and the sea is white and white illuminated by the moonlight.

More than 400 warships of various sizes sailed eastward like dark clouds, heading straight for Haizhou, the westernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula. Li Jing handed over the command of the march to Zheng Chenggong, and ordered him to take full command when he was at sea, and those who violated the order were dealt with by military law.

With the commander of Zheng Chenggong, the 45,000 Han troops marched all the way, and the wind and waves were calm. It took three days and two nights, and finally arrived at a coast of Haizhou in the evening of the third day; The Tang army along the way saw the dense warships pressing the border, and they were immediately frightened and collapsed without a fight.

It's just that before they could retreat, they were blocked by a thousand elites led by Xu Sheng and Li Cunxiao, who landed in a small boat from a hidden place in advance, and all of them were annihilated, leaving no one behind.
