On the Celestial Wolf, the flagship of the Combined Fleet of the Qin Domain, the Marshal of the Combined Fleet of the Naval Division, Duchess Megan, was watching through her binoculars as the dragon cleaving the waves and advancing on the blue sea like a huge sea dragon.

It's a huge fleet, a whole two thousand ships, and all of them are big ships. Among them, there were 500 warships escorting the convoys, and 1,500 transport ships carrying soldiers, food, horses, and equipment.

Being able to command such a huge fleet was also very surprising to Meghan. But she didn't refuse, she believed in her own abilities.

The season for the fleet to sail was bad, but their luck was good. I walked at sea for several days, but I did not encounter strong winds, rain and snow. The fleet had followed exactly the course that had been tried to be discovered during the winter, and they had made a zigzag advance away from the coast, slow and not fast. It can only travel about ten miles in an hour, which is equivalent to a little more than two knots in later generations, which can be described as turtle speed. But in such a period of ice on the sea, it is a route of only about three years, and it is still a large fleet of up to 2,000 ships, which is a bit incredible.

To Meghan's surprise, they had been at sea for three days, but they had not encountered a single accident and had not lost a single boat, which was incredible to many of the sailor officers who believed that it would be a dangerous journey.

At this rate, we will be able to reach the ice-free port of Dalian this evening, where a fleet and a group of supplies and personnel will join this fleet. By the time he left the port of Dalian, his fleet would be as high as 3,000 ships, as well as 200,000 troops and 100,000 conscripts. There are also a large number of materials and equipment.

For himself to be able to serve as the marshal of this mighty fleet. She is very proud. As she observed them through her clairvoyant mirror, an ambition to conquer the deep blue ocean with her fleet arose.

At the forefront of this huge fleet was a fleet of detectives and boats, with thirty-six ships lined up in a herringbone far ahead. Behind them, there were warships, fighting ships, and sea falcon ships, and these main warships formed an escort formation, sailing on both sides of the transport ships, because the building ships were too high. However, it is not conducive to ocean navigation, so this time the fleet did not mobilize building ships to go to sea, the largest ship is a transport ship, and the largest warship is a fighting ship.

The Walker and Ship were frigates, while the Sea Falcons were destroyers, and the Fighting Ships were battleships.

The large number of transport ships was not as fragile as it seemed, and the sailors were equipped with a lot of flying thunder cannons on them, and the sailors carried by them, they were not afraid of any enemy at all.

These huge transport ships are slow and cumbersome. It carried thousands of soldiers, horses, ordnance, food and grass, and even chariots.

In Li Jing's eyes. This giant fleet is truly spectacular. However, this is also an action that the Qin clan has planned for several years, and this time not only brought all the warships and ocean-going ships in the Qin army, but even requisitioned those seagoing ships from the maritime merchants in various ports almost semi-compulsorily. If it weren't for Li Jing's current prestige, coupled with the compensation conditions given by the Qin army, which were really good, and promised to return it on time after half a year, and if the ship was damaged, it would be doubled and other conditions, even with the development of the Qin army's naval division over the years, it would not be able to pull such a huge fleet at all.

Two thousand large ships, the reconnaissance boat in front of the fleet has already arrived at Port Arthur, but he estimates that the tail of this fleet has just left Qinhuangdao, and there may even be some that have not left the port.

This is very probable, Qinhuangdao Port to Arthur Port is only six or seven hundred miles, and this huge fleet has two thousand ships, and in this icing season, it is impossible to line up, but to form a long line. If it is next to each other, it can be lined up for one or two hundred miles.

And that's not all, there are still 1,000 ships and 100,000 people in Dalian Port, but the people there are people, not soldiers. The transfer of 200,000 soldiers and horses to the Bohai Sea this time is already considered the limit. Although he successfully frightened Chengde Town, Li Jing also had to make preparations. Especially seeing that Huang Chao is about to end, and Yang Fuguang and Li Keyong, Zhu Wen and others have formed a powerful alliance, Li Jing must also prevent another war in the Central Plains. This is also the reason why he now wants to merge the three towns of Henan, Tianping, Yicheng, and Xuanwu into Shandong Province.

When he withdrew from Song Cao Zhuzhou and handed them over to Yu Xuan Xinyan, it was because Li Jing didn't want to fight to the death with Huang Chao, and at that time, he occupied half of Henan at once, and the expansion was too fast, and no one really occupied those places. That's why they were handed over to Yu Xuan and others, and once Yu Xuan and others were in control, they were actually on his side. Second, it also gives him a buffer zone between him and Huang Chao, so as not to cause tension between the two sides and misfire. Now the situation is different, after all these years of quiet development, the Qin Domain's control of the Huanghuai region of Shandong has been firmly established. And the defeat of Huang Chao made the Henan area west of the canal suddenly become the territory of Zhu Wen and Li Ke with Qin Zongquan, and when Huang Chao occupied the west of the canal, he could also not violate the river water with Li Jingjing, because everyone had other goals. But now that the Henan lands on the west bank of the canal have changed owners, the situation has changed again.

Li Jing can not invade each other with Huang Chao, but it is difficult to not invade each other with Yang Fuguang's father and son, which is due to interests.

made a plan early, Li Jing merged these six states into Shandong Province at this time, and also made an integrated defense. At the beginning, Li Jing was mentally prepared to let these six states be a buffer zone, and he could even be robbed by Huang Chao. But now it can't be done, and now between the towns, not an inch of land can be caught. The first line of the canal is the first line of defense. To this end, Li Jing not only incorporated the six prefectures into Shandong Province, but also began to send additional troops and horses to the Huanghuai region.

The total number of troops of the Qin army is so much, there are really not many that can be sent to Bohai, and they dare not send more. However, after the last disaster, Li Jing still transferred 100,000 people and went to fight 5,000 miles away, and Li Jing was also careful and careful.

On the second day of the second month of February, this huge fleet arrived in Dalian, where a thousand new ships merged into the fleet, making the fleet swell by a thousand ships again. After docking in Dalian for three days, and after another good weather, the fleet continued to advance eastward.

Four days later, it reached the sea near Pyongyang, north of the Samhan Peninsula in the south of the Yalu River, and this time the fleet did not stop. Instead, it was changed directly to the south. Seven days later. Arriving near the city of Silla Han, the fleet did not approach the coast and continued southward until it reached the vicinity of Kumatsu Castle. Then after another five days, the fleet reached the sea area controlled by Zhang Yingying, and then entered the town of Qinghai, where it rested for five days before setting off again.

Next. It was a long voyage at sea, after twenty-three days of sailing, when the ice had begun to melt, and it was the most dangerous period of sailing, and the fleet of the Qin army reached the final destination of this time, Yanzhou in Longyuan Province, Tokyo, Bohai State, and landed in the largest ice-free port in the north, that is, Vladivostok in later generations.

Bohai Tokyo is located on the coast of the East China Sea. To the south of him is Nanjing, Bohai. To the southwest, is Xijing on the Bohai Sea. West. It is the Zhongjing of the Bohai Sea, and it is also the place where the Qin-Bohai alliance and the tribal alliance are currently facing off. To his northwest is Tongzhou, and to the north of Tongzhou is Shangjing Longquan Prefecture, which has been occupied by coalition forces. Just north of Tokyo is the Sobin Province and to the northeast is the Theorem Province, and these places, along with the county of Bohai Prefecture further north, are now occupied by the coalition forces.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and men of the Qin army had never heard of the place in front of them that was about to land.

This is the northeasternmost point of Tokyo, in fact, this natural ice-free port, Deep Water Bay, did not belong to the Bohai Sea Tokyo, they originally belonged to the small Amur Peninsula south of Hwasa, which was in the province of Babin. However, in recent years, under the influence of the prosperity of the Qin Domain's maritime trade, many Bohai nobles have also begun to join the extremely hot business of maritime trade. The original small fishing village at the southern tip of the Amur Peninsula immediately brought great convenience to the docking of ocean-going ships because of their natural deep-water port and natural ice-free port conditions, and gradually became an important maritime trade port and gradually prospered. Finally, this port, along with the small peninsula, was also transferred from the Sobin Prefecture to the name of Tokyo Ryubara Prefecture.

The soldiers of the Qin army did not know anything about this port, but the generals were already familiar with this place, especially the generals of the naval division, in the past few years, they sent the officers and soldiers of the naval division to disguise themselves as maritime merchants and come here again and again by boat, reconnoitering the terrain and inquiring about the surrounding situation. Especially after the confrontation between the coalition forces and the allied forces in Zhongjing, the General Staff once put forward a bold plan, that is, to abandon the long land transportation line, directly mobilize a huge fleet of sailors, load a large army and grain and grass, bypass the Samhan Peninsula by sea, and land directly in Tokyo or Subinfu, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky, appeared on the weak left flank of the tribal coalition army, and defeated them in one fell swoop.

It was a bold plan, first proposed by a young staff officer. Li Jing inadvertently saw that this plan, which was only a fantasy at the time, and then he mobilized people to set up a complete planning room, allowing them to enrich the entire plan and make the plan feasible.

Now, looking at that beautiful ice-free port, Li Jing is smiling.

Although it took them a full fifty-one days to get here from Qinhuangdao along the way, they succeeded. They set out on the 28th of the first lunar month and arrived at their destination on the 20th of March. Although there were some accidents along the way, losing more than a dozen boats and more than 300 people, this loss was nothing compared to their success.

If they traveled by land, 300,000 people, and the food they needed on the road, they would need at least twice as many people to transport supplies, grain and grass, and if they traveled more than 5,000 miles, they would have to walk even longer, and at the fastest would have to be more than twice as long as now. Another one, walking by land, the severe cold, rain, snow and diseases along the way will take the lives of more soldiers and civilians. The most important thing is that from the land, it will be difficult for them to achieve their plan of flanking the coalition forces by surprise.

Looking at the port on the peninsula, Li Jing and Meghan couldn't help but hug each other tightly.

It's a miracle, they made a miracle, they did it, they really did it.

The port, which along with the Amur Peninsula was occupied by coalition forces last year, is now empty and silent. The ships in the port had already withdrawn to the port of Longhe in Tokyo before the tribal coalition arrived, and even more directly withdrew to Qinghai Town, and withdrew to Dengzhou, Qingdao, Dalian, and Lushun.

At this time, only a thousand-strong cavalry was stationed in the harbor to prevent the Allied forces in Tokyo from harassing from the sea. However, the Allies seem to have given up on this harassment plan long ago, and since the first snow fell a year ago, until now, the thousand-man team stationed in the port has not been seen by the Allies.

In the early morning, fog covers the harbor like a veil. The commander of the hundred cavalry, Ge Li, gambled with the officers all night, but lost all night, and the money he grabbed when he first came here was almost lost. Seeing that it was time for the changing of the guard again, he came out of the warm room with his iron helmet with antlers, yawned all the way, cursed damn bad luck all the way, walked to the tower of the harbor, and kicked the sentry who was asleep while standing with a scimitar.

When the sentry opened his eyes, he was startled and waited for the scolding to be scolded when he saw that it was the captain of the hundred horsemen, but he did not hear a sound for a while. He cautiously raised his head to look at the centurion, but saw Gree's mouth wide open, his eyes wide, his face full of horror, looking at the sea in the distance, his lips still trembling.

The sentry followed his gaze, but he was stunned when he saw that under the white mist, a little light suddenly appeared on the sea at the port wharf, and those little lights were half hidden in the fog, and some dark shadows could be faintly seen, and he was stunned for a moment.

"What's that?" His teeth were at war with each other.

"Sea monster!" Centurion Gerry didn't know what it was, although the people of the Black Water tribe also lived near the sea, but they lived more between the White Mountain and the Black Water, and they were not familiar with the sea. What's more, I suddenly saw such a group of things emerging from the sea fog in the harbor.

The bits of light grew closer and closer, and more and more, each the size of a lantern, and looked like the glowing eyes of a giant monster.

Closer, closer and closer.

At this time, Gerry's legs trembled more and more, and he couldn't even walk. He secretly screamed that he was going to die at the mouth of the monster today, and suddenly, he blinked, for he saw that the monster that was getting closer and closer had a mast.

And the sails that were stowed.

It was a boat, not a monster, and the bright eyes of the monster were obviously lanterns.

He was just glad that it wasn't a monster, but for a moment he was stunned again, boats, so many ships, no, the allies over there in Tokyo are coming.

He was just about to tear open his throat and shout, but he heard a sudden thunderclap in the air, boom, so loud.

The next moment, a scream came from the sky, carrying clouds of fire and smoke (to be continued......
