Zhao Peng had only had one lunch in Penglai. In the evening, the large Yuefei flying scissor ship unloaded the goods and completed the supply of fresh water and food. He set out from Penglai that night and headed straight for the Han River Estuary.

One and a half years since the last sea battle at the Han River Estuary, according to the information obtained by the Jinyiwei, the Qing army and the Koreans were building a large number of naval warships in the Han River, trying to find an opportunity to break out of the Han River Estuary and launch an attack on the Ming Navy. With reliable information, the Koreans built a total of six large turtle ships, eighteen small turtle ships, fifty-six large platy houses, more than two hundred small platy houses, as well as various small boats and fire attack ships, with a total of more than one thousand counterattacks.

In fact, if the Zheng family navy and the Laiden Navy pressed up together, it would not be impossible to deal with the Korean navy. However, if the Qing Dynasty's North Korean navy launched a large-scale counterattack, the Zheng family navy and the Laiden Navy would have a hard time strife, and the losses would not be small.

Now that the battleship Yuefei has arrived in Penglai, it just happened to allow the most powerful warship on the sea in the 17th century to join the naval battle.

Zheng Sen said: "Banzi is very cunning. They attracted our army's attention with a small amount of troops, and then used their main force to detour the Liaodong Peninsula to try to attack Penglai. Fortunately, our army's clutch on the coastline discovered their attempts and dispatched the navy to intercept them in time. The landing conspiracy between Jiannu and Banzi did not succeed."

The word "bangzi" has become accustomed to the Ming people. When it comes to people from small countries on the peninsula, they are called "bangzi".

To be honest, Zhao Peng, who came from later generations, had a much better impression of the sticks in the northern mountainous areas than the sticks on the hilly plains in the southern. At this time, the sticks in the southern mountainous areas had long surrendered, and there were still some sticks in the northern mountainous areas that hid in the mountains and refused to come out to be obedient people for the Qing Dynasty because they refused to shave their heads and become slaves.

Why did the Qing Dynasty navy seek far and go around the Bohai Bay and attack Penglai from the direction of Shanhaiguan? That's because the warships of the Korean navy are not suitable for long-sea combat. Only in the calm Bohai Bay can they play their maximum effect.

At this time, a large number of Korean naval warships had been concentrated in Shanhaiguan in the Bohai Bay to Tianjin. After preparing to gather forces, they launched a fierce attack on Penglai.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the battleship Yuefei was sailing towards Tianjin in the Bohai Bay at a speed of fourteen knots in the morning mist. In front of Yuefei, the Princess Kunxing Clipper was staring at the movements of the North Korean navy.

A golden fireball rose from the eastern sea, and the sunlight quickly shone on the sea, and the morning mist gradually dissipated. This was a day of clear sky and the visibility on the sea was very high.

In the calm Bohai Bay, because the wind on the sea is relatively small, even the high-speed flying shearing ship of the Kunxing Princess has a maximum speed of only 16 knots. Of course, the speed of the North Korean ship is even slower.

A hot air balloon was raised on the Kunxing Princess, a hundred miles away in front of Yuefei. Shi Lang sat inside the hot air balloon, looking at the sea in Tianjin with a thousand-mile mirror, closely watching the every move of the Qing Dynasty navy. Sixty miles behind the Kunxing Princess, the Zheng Family Army and the main force of the Ming Navy gathered on the sea and were ready to fight at any time.

Shi Lang discovered the Qing army's North Korean navy fleet and immediately fired a firework rocket into the air.

On the sea thirty miles away from the Princess Kunxing Clippers, a fast crab boat was cruising on the sea. When he saw the fireworks rocket signal rising in front of him, he immediately launched a fireworks rocket and reported the situation to the main fleet behind him.

Yuefei is about forty miles away from the main fleet. A pair of hot air balloons rose up on Yuefei. Soldiers sitting on the hot air balloons can use a thousand-mile mirror to see the movements on the sea forty miles away.

"Our main fleet is moving towards the sea in Tianjin, and it seems that it has maintained its naval battle formation!" The soldiers sitting on the hot air balloon reported the situation to the ship in flags.

"There is any movement in the fleet ahead, so we have to hurry up and help." Zheng Sen said.

Since there is an unusual movement ahead, it means that the main navy is preparing to fight with the Qing Dynasty navy. Since the war is about to go, then when will the powerful battleship Yue Fei not go?

In the Tianjin waters, the Qing Dynasty navy was sailing towards the Jiaodong Peninsula along the waters not far from the coastline.

"Report!" A personal soldier knelt in front of Park Xingtong, "Sir, there is a foreign object in the sky fifty miles east!"

The Korean navy faced the sun, so naturally they could not see the fireworks signal rising above the Kunxing Princess, but the hot air balloon Shi Lang was riding was particularly eye-catching under the sun. Since the Kunxing Princess had discovered the Qing Navy fleet, the Qing Korean navy must have known the location of the Kunxing Princess.

Park Xingtong picked up the monocular lens and looked into the east air, and found a highlight in the distance.

"What do you do in the sky?" Shuosai asked.

"Prince, look at the sky over there, there is a highlight that is very eye-catching." Park Xingtong pointed to the sky in the east and said to Shuosai.

ShuoSai picked up the thousand-mile mirror and looked into the air. He saw a highlight in the air. During the Battle of Han River Estuary, the Qing army always saw a huge Kongming lantern in the sky, and then the "Red and Barbarians" came. This time it was the same, and there was a highlight in the air, which means that the annoying "Red and Barbarians" must be in that position.

"What should we do if the big red barbarian ship that helped Minggou is there?" Shuo Se asked. After all, he doesn't understand naval warfare, so the Koreans still have to do it for commanding naval warfare.

Park Xingtong said: "In order to run fast, the big red-branded ship that assisted Ming Dogs, their cannons are not very big. Compared with the big red-branded cannons on our ships, their cannons are the small red-branded cannons at most. Their cannons can only deal with our small boats and pose no threat to our big boats. As long as the enemy ship approaches, we retract the small boats and use the big boats to meet the enemy! Our newly built large ships are equipped with big cannons, which will definitely damage the enemy ships!"

At this time, the North Korean navy had completed the replacement. Their slab boats and turtle boats had eliminated the original old cannons and replaced them with more powerful red cannons.

The Qing army actually did not lack red and barbarian cannons. In order to strengthen the strength of the Korean navy, Dorgon gritted his teeth and provided sufficient materials to the North Koreans, and sent a large number of craftsmen to assist the North Koreans in casting red and barbarian cannons.

Originally, the large turtle ships of the Koreans were equipped with thirty large and small cannons, but after improvement, they have been reduced to twenty cannons, but the original small cannons, such as the Earth-word, Xuan-word, Huang-word and Sheng-word, were eliminated, and they were changed to the Tian-word, which is the red-branded cannon cast by the Qing Dynasty for the Koreans.

However, the Qing Dynasty's artillery casting technology is still not as good as Zhao Peng's Nanjing artillery factory. The 3,000-pound red cannon made by the Qing Dynasty cannon cannon cannons weighing about eight kilograms, which is only equivalent to nine-pound cannons, and is not as powerful as the 12-pound field cannons of Nanjing New Army, let alone compared with the 24-pound red cannons on the Yuefei.

The twenty-four-pound gun vs. the nine-pound gun are not on the same level in terms of range, accuracy and penetration.

The nine-pound cannons of the Qing Dynasty Navy could not penetrate the defense of Yue Fei at all, while the twenty-four-pound cannons of Yue Fei could easily break the turtle shells of the North Korean Navy's turtle ship.
