Nikan let Matsuo Tomoe leave.

What a joke, even if the Koreans did not attack him, he would not have been led by the Japanese and sent a navy to rob the Japanese ships to Busan for trading. At that time, the shogunate was furious, just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he would have been in trouble to attack Jeju Island like Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He would definitely not be able to take advantage of his enemies.

He must have ideas about the Japanese, but that is not yet.

He had to deal with the North Korean navy first.

To be honest, although Jeju Island does not freeze in winter, there is no good port on the island. The best port should be the south, where the later Nan Jeju County is located. It is an inland river estuary, and there is an island near the estuary, which can slightly block the swells and strong winds coming from the south.

There are some ports facing the sea at the Jeju Patriarch, but most of them are ports directly facing the Jeju Strait, and there is no obstruction of the strong waves and winds coming from the north.

Standing on the Jeju Tower, the commanding height near the port, Nikan's pair of thin eyebrows were twisted into a mountain-shaped shape.

On the sea not far away, there were three fleets of ships that were already very close to the port. The largest team in the middle was about a hundred turtle ships, slab boats, and about fifty ships on both sides of the east and west.

"Shen?"

In the telescope, there was a red flag on the largest turtle boat with a large "Shen" written on it.

At this time, although Korea invented the "proverb" - the Koreans' own writing during the reign of King Sejong, Chinese characters and Chinese dialect were still popular, and they were still widely circulated as the exclusive texts of scholars and officials. It was abolished that a few hundred years later.

"The Great Khan" spoke about Zheng Daxun, the nephew of Zheng Renhong, the important minister of Yuan Guanghaijun. After Li Yu came to power, he killed a large group of important officials loyal to Guanghaijun and exiled them. The prime minister-level figures like Zheng Renhong were naturally executed, and all their families were exiled to Jeju Island as slaves.

Zheng Daxun was originally the county magistrate of Dajing County, Jeju. After Li Jue's coup, he suddenly changed from a county magistrate to a craftsman who made bows and arrows. With the arrival of Nikan, he "resurrected" again. Now he is the second-in-commander of Jeju under his command of Aslan Dakan. Tongzhi, second only to the magistrate, Nikan's cheap brother Sun Xiulin.

"The one who came must be the Jeolla Dog Observer, the Marshal of the Southwest Capital, Shen Qiyuan, he has two generals under him. The Lu Army is Huang Yi, and the Navy is Old Master Li. It is impossible for Jeolla Dog to have so many turtle boats. Most of them are the navy on the east coast of Gangwon Dog and Gyeongsang Dog, who are also transferred here."

"Oh?" Nikan thought for a while, "Where is Hamkyung?"

"This..." Jung Da-hoon hesitated for a moment, "Hamgyong Do observation commander is Kim Sang-heon, who has always been incompatible with Shen Qiyuan..."

Nikan smiled and said, "It is impossible. No matter how disagreement is, we will cooperate under the king's strict orders. It is probably to prevent Ben Khan's navy in Vladivostok."

Zheng Daxun quickly flattered and said, "The Great Khan clearly saw thousands of miles, but it was not the only one who could do it."

...

Directly opposite Jeju Port, a huge turtle ship was of great attention.

The turtle ship is at least fifteen feet long, which is very eye-catching in a fleet of about ten feet long. The turtle ship is about two feet tall. At this time, his cannon windows were also pushed open, revealing the bowl guns, francs and other objects inside.

On the upper deck of the turtle ship, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a civil servant looking at the opposite side through the window. After a while, he looked a little solemn. He said to a general who was about thirty years old and was about thirty years old, saying: "It was these people who defeated the navy of Gyeonggi Province and Pekan Road? Although the ships were not as large as us, the standard was different from the Ming Dynasty ships, and it was obviously not the Chinese-Korean style."

The military general smiled and said, "Li Qing only has a reputation for being famous, but he is overstated by the reputation of a famous general. It is normal to lose to the enemy."

"Don't underestimate the enemy!" The civil servant snorted coldly, "It is said that the navy in Gyeonggi Province is the most powerful, but the entire army was wiped out in one battle. Even if Li Qing is not bad, it will not be so bad."

The military officer quickly nodded and said, "Sir, I am very proud. However, this time our army's central camp has secret weapons. Even if the enemy's combat power is amazing, it will be enough for him to drink a pot."

When he heard the four words "secret weapon", the civil servant's face cleared a little, but he still solemnly reminded: "You should not be careless."

...

Opposite the turtle ship, Sun Jiaji stood at the bow of a newly built large ship, facing the newly-formed North Wind Coat Floating. Looking at the turtle ship in front of him, he couldn't help but look at it with disdain.

"What kind of junk thing? Last time, our army's 500-pound cannon was blasted. This time there are 1,000-pound heavy cannons. I see how long you can last."

Perhaps because he knew the combat method that Sun Jiaji's fleet was good at, the turtle ships were very close to each other and rushed forward in a dense manner.

As we approached the enemy ship, the huge dragon head at the head of the turtle ship suddenly opened, revealing thick bamboo tubes.

This scene naturally cannot escape Sun Jiaji's eyes.

"Big bamboo tube? What is the purpose?"

During the last battle, some tubes were also extended from the head of the turtle ship, but most of the spray was gunpowder, poisonous smoke and other objects, which mainly disturbed the enemy's sight and had minimal killing effect. Since Sun Jiaji's fleet directly drilled into the gap between the enemy ships, their move almost did not work.

"Reuse the same trick?"

Sun Jiaji shook his head contemptuously. In this era, you just want to use a tube to spew something out and disrupt the enemy's sight. There is also a requirement for distance. If you are too far away, it will not work.

When the distance between the ships on both sides was about thirty feet, Sun Jiaji's fleet suddenly turned left and turned rudder sharply. At this time, Nikanli's heavy hem designed against the public was very useful. It seemed that the ship was tilted sharply and seemed to be about to overturn, but in fact it was safe and safe under the reaction force of the hem.

After using the spinnade and the combination of cross sails to complete the rapid steering, the gunner aimed the head of the enemy ship with ten cannons on the side.

At the same time, ten large ships on the east and west sides were also in the same way, turning to the north, and aiming at the head of the enemy ship with sideways.

This tactic is common in Europe and has a small number of applications in East Asia. However, it was in the Ming Dynasty, where there were a few firearms, but it was rare in North Korea, where artillery lacked (North Korea lacked metal).

When Sun Jiaji's fleet turned, the surrounding turtle ships were still driving forward. When the side of Sun Jiaji's fleet was almost at a perpendicular angle to the bow of the turtle ship, the distance between the two sides was closer to about fifteen feet!

Fifteen feet, that is, about forty-five meters. If the turtle ship accelerates with all its strength, it can use the impact angle of its head to crash into the enemy ship's gang!

Perhaps because he realized the danger, the oarsmen on the lower deck of Sun Jiaji's fleet had used their best efforts to row desperately. At this time, the wind direction on the sea was complex. If a tried-and-tested Western sailor would probably be able to continuously adjust the sails of up to ten sides and sail quickly with the crosswind. Sun Jiaji's sailors could do it in non-war times, but they could not do it in the extremely tense wartime, and even if they did it, it would take a long time.

Therefore, this is why Nikan sets up oarsmen on a ship that is already ten feet long. At some point, he can only rely on oars. Of course, when the sailors capture the wind direction, the sailing gear is very skillful, the ship is built larger and wider, and can be arranged with longer tubes on both sides, the oar position can be completely cancelled.

Fortunately, the new ship installed a large oar at the rear, which was usually hung on it and could be used in emergency situations. Under the shaking of four people, the speed of the ship's forward speed was accelerated.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!"

Sun Jiaji's ship ran first in front, followed by nine newly built large ships closely behind him. At this time, the distance between the two sides had been closer to ten feet, and the sailors on the ship could almost see clearly, but at this time, the cannons on the side of Sun Jiaji's fleet also blew!

Ten large ships were one hundred artillery pieces, fifty or eight hundred kilograms, fifty or thousand kilograms, and even if they could not hit such a close distance, it would be unreasonable. Even so, only about half of the shells hit the enemy ships, and the other half of the shells either passed through the gap between the enemy ships or fell behind.

When the turtle ship came, it was probably to cover the sea and trapped Sun Jiaji's fleet in it. The formation of the ships was also spread out. The one hundred large ships on the opposite side lined in two rows, each with fifty large ships, forming an interception line about two hundred feet long.

The formations of ships on the east and west sides also seem to be different.

When Sun Jiaji's fleet was spread out in a long snake formation, the total length was only 150 feet.

Even so, the results are still quite amazing!

But see:

Some of the shells hit the bow of the ship immediately smashed the wooden boards of the bow, and some drilled in from the opened dragon head. After entering, there was a burst of ghosts and howling. Perhaps the gunpowder of the Korean navy was placed on this floor, and some broke the gunpowder barrel and caused explosion and burning.

Some of the shells hit the lower part of the bow of the ship immediately caused the sea water to flow backwards, while others destroyed the rudder, completely losing the ability to turn.

Some shells crossed the bow and hit the upper part of the turtle ship, which is the part of the turtle shell. In fact, these shells caused the most damage. After the shells hit the turtle shell, some entered the cabin. Wherever they went, they were definitely corroded. Some smashed the wood of the turtle shell, and the debris caused were also killed.

A small number of shells flew to the top of the turtle ship under the sway of the waves, and a very few hit the mast by chance. In fact, the mast of the turtle ship did not play a big role in naval battles. The turtle ship mainly relies on oars to provide power during wartime, and sails were only used during sailing.

Sun Jiaji's ship was bombarded and rowed forward desperately. When the last big ship passed the turtle ship at the edge, Sun Jiaji's ship almost collided with the ten big ships heading north, but the direction was the ten big ships heading north!

At this time, the tail of the big ship dragged at the last was less than three feet away from the nearest turtle ship!

The bow of the turtle ship was almost intact, and the bamboo tube that extended from it suddenly spewed a large amount of yellowish-brown things into the big ship.

A strong fragrance suddenly filled the air.

Even Sun Jiaji, who was at the forefront, smelled this fragrance. After practicing for a long time in Dongjiang Town, he realized that it was inappropriate - this is sesame oil, and the enemy is about to attack fire!

Sure enough, the ship sprayed sesame oil on the big ship that was dragged to the end, and then shot out another swarm of bees (the version of the rockets of the Ming Dynasty), so the tail of the big ship quickly burned.

"water pipe!"

The leader of the ship shouted loudly when he saw this. The sailor at the stern of the ship pulled out a piece of wood at the end of the boat, but there were a pipe made of animal skins in the middle. He saw a sailor stomping something under his feet with his feet. The object was like a tool used by the Han people in the Central Plains to pound rice. One end was facing the stone mortar that contained rice, and the other end was long enough to be stepped on.

As the sailor continued to step on, the tired leather tube suddenly swelled, and sea water actually emerged from it!

A sailor rushed to the stern with a leather tube and aimed the water pipe at the wooden board that had already ignited a raging fire.

At this time, another sailor brought a basin of water from the stern cabin with a wooden basin and poured the water down at the place where the fire broke out.

Soon, the fire at the stern of the boat was completely extinguished.

However, after this burn, the originally yellowish-brown stern became dark and showed an unpleasant smell.

“So that’s how it is”

After seeing this scene with a telescope in front, Sun Jiaji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
