Chapter 1500: Deterring North Korea
In Luo Xian's view, the Haihan army with strong maritime armament is simply a nightmare for all maritime countries, and these warships equipped with a large number of artillery guns themselves have extremely strong attack power, coupled with the incredibly fast extreme speed, they can indeed be used as capital to ignore the coastal defense of the DPRK. But it is precisely because of this that the appearance of this fleet will inevitably cause panic among the North Korean military and civilians, and even if it does not come with the purpose of war, it may lead to an uncontrollable armed conflict due to misunderstanding.
Luo Xian's greatest concern was to plunge his country into war, even though Wang Tom had repeatedly promised him on the way that he would not take the opportunity to invade Korea, he did not want to leave any excuse for the Haihan people to use force.
Of course, Wang Tom also knew very well that the purpose of his trip to Korea was not to start a war, and if he went too far, he might not be able to end the battle. What Haihan needs is to get North Korea to surrender as soon as possible, and then get the much-needed war logistics from the North Korean side, so that North Korea can become one of the supply sources for Haihan in Northeast Asia. The urgency of time is the focus of this operation, and it is naturally best to achieve the effect without hurting the peace.
Wang Tom was worried that with only one Luo Xian, his words would not carry enough weight, so when he left, he transferred Shen Zhixiang, the counselor of Dongjiang Town, to his side. Shen Zhixiang also dealt with the North Korean official during his time in Phi Dao, and with his status as an official in the Ming Dynasty, the North Koreans would sell some face.
So at a distance of about forty or fifty nautical miles from the Korean Haehan, Wang Tom ordered the fleet to slow down and use a fast ship to send Roh-heon back to land, so that he could rush back to Seoul to report the arrival of the Haihan army to the Korean king.
After arriving near the mouth of the Han River, the Haihan fleet did not continue to move forward and chose to dock at the coast of Ganghwa Island. During the Goryeo period, the island became the temporary capital of the Goryeo Kingdom several times due to external military pressure, and the Tripitaka Sutra of Goryeo, which was later regarded as a national treasure by the Koreans, was carved on the island in the 13th century when the Goryeo Kingdom moved its capital to Ganghwa Island again under the Mongol invasion. This Tripitaka has a total of 1,496 chapters, 6,568 volumes, 52.38 million Chinese characters, and is carved on more than 80,000 wooden panels, making it one of the most complete Tripitaka in the world at that time. Of course, this is not a Korean creation, including the font, the entire Goryeo Tripitaka is just a copy of the Tripitaka of the Song Dynasty.
However, Wang Tom is not very interested in these cultural things, even if he knows that Ganghwa Island was once the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, he does not plan to go to this island with an area of more than 400 square kilometers to explore the ancient world. To put it simply, there is no time to spare.
This fleet, consisting of more than thirty warships and logistics vessels, appeared on the coast of Ganghwa Island and was quickly noticed by the people of the island. None of them had ever seen the red and blue flags on the top of the masts of the Haihan galleons, so they did not know what the purpose of the fleet was. But it is clear that this is not a merchant fleet, because after the flotilla docked, a large number of armed men disembarked from the ships, and martial law was imposed on the coastal area near the docking area, which did not seem too friendly, and naturally caused the nearby people to panic and go home to hide.
