Chapter 1071 On the Battle of Tsushima Sea

On the main mast, the soldiers who were responsible for looking at the sea with a thousand-mile mirror, found a sail in the distance, and shouted to warn down loudly.

The soldiers on the deck immediately stood up, and there were a burst of noises, and everyone returned to their positions.

Huang Fei walked to the edge of the helm building a few steps, took out the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and looked in the direction of warning. Sure enough, he saw the tops of several masts and found the flags fluttering.

Soon, the sails were exposed, and then the hull.

"It's the West-Holland fleet!" Huang Fei swung his fist excitedly, "Give me a manfan and lean over."

During the decisive battle of Daling River, the Gan Army Navy had always intended to fight the West-Holland fleet in order to open up the maritime transportation line. However, the West-Holland fleet wandered around to avoid the war, which made the Gan Army never gain the control of the Bohai Sea.

At this time, in the entire East Asia, only Spain and the Netherlands remained the naval opponents of the Gan army. As long as they defeat their fleet, Gan Chao would become the overlord of East Asia.

The Xi-Holland fleet, which had been avoiding war, appeared on the sea, which made the generals of the Gan Army quite excited. The decisive battle finally arrived.

The Beiyang Navy's ships immediately adjusted their courses, and the sailors controlled the sails and headed towards the West-Holland fleet.

Each ship occupied the ship, and the sails were crisscrossed and the sails needed to be unbuttoned and tied. The steps were very complicated, and the deck was suddenly filled with noise and busy.

The Beiyang Navy ships quickly adjusted their positions, and the ships accelerated their navigation while sailing through the wind and waves. Huang Fei stood on the helm and continued to observe. From time to time, according to the movements of the West-Holland fleet, he ordered the direction to be corrected, and the two fleets quickly pulled the distance.

At this time, on the flagship of the West-Holland United Fleet, the fleet commander Earl Hill also used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the situation of Gan Jun.

"Damn it! Why did the Chinese come out?" Commander Hill's face turned gloomy when he saw the fleet approaching him.

The West-Holland fleet did not want to fight the Ganchao Navy.

Because it is too difficult for them to replenish from Europe. Unlike Ganchao who lost several warships, the shipyards will be able to replenish soon. They need to wait for the fleet to come from Europe to support. Therefore, the West-Holland fleet does not want to fight to the decisive battle, but hopes to maintain a fleet in the Far East, maintain its influence, and join forces with Ganchao's surrounding natives to form a siege net against Ganchao.

If they were defeated in the Far East, the power of Gan Chao would have expanded rapidly, tearing through the encirclement and blockade chains.

In this way, the power of the Korean Dynasty will not be limited to East Asia, Spanish colonies in the Americas, and Dutch colonial strongholds in the South Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Africa will be threatened.

In fact, the West-Dutch coalition forces are now unable to block the Ganchao. The Gans have landed on the west coast of North America, established strongholds, arrived south to Australia, and established vassal states.

Australia was first discovered by the Dutch, but in later propaganda, it became the first British to discover and colonize this place.

Now with the strength of Gan Chao, Xihe's blockade network has seen many loopholes.

The Spanish had sent envoys to Rome, hoping that the Holy See would realize the rise of the Gan Dynasty and the threat to the West.

The Dutch were communicating with France and Britain, hoping to make Western countries realize that the rise of the Korean DPRK would harm the interests of the entire West and intend to establish an anti-Car alliance. They hope that all countries would reach an agreement at least on the Far East issue and must trap the Korean DPRK's forces in East Asia, so as not to compete with them for maritime hegemony and seize their overseas colonies.

However, there are many conflicts between Western countries, and the distance between the Khan Dynasty is still far away. Britain and Portugal gained benefits in the trade with the Khan Dynasty, so the establishment of the anti-Khan Alliance encountered many problems.

Now Western countries have different attitudes towards the Kan Dynasty. Before the formation of the anti-Carl Alliance, they hope that the former maritime overlord Spain and the Netherlands, which were about to lose their hegemony, will continue to assume the responsibility of blocking and restraining the Kan Dynasty, and buy time for the formation of the anti-Carl Alliance.

This time the defeat of the Qing Dynasty and the demise of the Qing Dynasty caused a huge failure in Xihe's strategy in the Far East.

Now the Netherlands is in the South Ocean, and is defeated by the Luzon Kingdom and will soon be abandoned by Java and Malacca. The power of the Gan Kingdom will go west to the Indian Ocean.

Japan in Northeast Asia will become the last fortress for Western colonization to curb the Ganchao, so the West-Holland fleet will cover the remnants of Tokugawa and Qing troops and withdraw back to Japan.

After receiving Matsuhira Nobuzuo's request, in order to cover the Tokugawa army's retreat, the Si-Ho Fleet, which was unwilling to fight the Ganjun Navy, had to leave the port and go to Jeju Island to restrain the Ganjun Navy. But he didn't expect to meet the Ganjun Fleet who left the port halfway.

At this time, on the flagship of the St. Philips, Commander Earl Hill saw Gan heading towards him, and his face looked very ugly.

"His Excellency Commander, the Chinese fleet is ten nautical miles away from us. Will we respond?" Captain Kofi asked.

Hill had a gloomy face, put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and pondered for a moment. He was not sure whether Gan Chaoren's fleet was out of the port, whether he was patrolling the waters, or whether he had received news that the Tokugawa Army would evacuate from Busan.

"Turn right! Look at the Chinese's reaction!" Hill punched the boat on the stairs.

The Saint Philips hangs the order flag, and the West-Holland United Fleet immediately adjusts the sail surface, turns the rudder, and all the warships turn right and sail to the north.

Twenty giant ships turned on the sea, and the hull made a creaking sound, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"Report to the Admiral! The West-Holland fleet turned to the right and sailed northward, intending to avoid our ship!" On the beating, the Ganjun sailors discovered the movements of the Dutch.

Huang Fei narrowed his eyes, picked up the Qianli Mirror for a while, and immediately made a decision: "The enemy ship intends to lead us away and avoid us going to Busan! Since they turn, they order the fleet to correct the route and head straight to Tsushima Island, preparing to intercept Tokugawa's army!"

The Gan Army flagship hung up the order flag, and the sailors on the deck were busy. The fleet corrected the route and continued to sail eastward.

On the St. Philips, Commander Hill put down the Qianli Mile Mile, "Damn it, the Chinese must have received information and know that Tokugawa's army is retreating in Busan!"

"Commander! The Tokugawa Army's warships are extremely backward, and there is not even a cannon on the ship. Once they encounter the Chinese warships, they will definitely be completely wiped out by the Chinese!" Captain Kofi reminded.

Hill's expression changed. Seeing that the Gan Army fleet was not chasing him, the plan to lead the Gan Army off the route failed, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Switch the left rudder! Go up, we must stop the Chinese from annihilation of the Tokugawa Army!"

The West-Holland fleet had twenty gunboats, and the number of ships was comparable to that of the Chinese fleet.

In order to protect the West's blockade of Ganchao in Northeast Asia and restrain the last stronghold of Ganchao's expansion outward, Hill could only fight with the Chinese fleet.

After all, the West-Dutch coalition is an old maritime overlord. The sailors' skill in controlling ships and gunners' fireworks are better than that of the Ganchao Navy. With the same number, they should have an advantage.

"Report to the Admiral! The enemy ship changed its course and came up again!"

Huang Fei saw from the Qianli Mile Mile Mile that the West-Holland fleet changed its route and sailed towards the opposite direction. On the side facing the Gan Army, all the gun windows were opened and the dark muzzles stretched out.

"Send the order! Open the cannon window, aim at the enemy ship, and prepare for war!" Huang Fei put down the Qianli Mile Mile and immediately shouted.

The flagship hung up the order flag, and the twenty gunboats opened the gun window together. The gunner pushed the loaded guns into the gun position. The gun barrels extended out and arranged in rows. The three-layer naval guns aimed at the enemy ships, and the murderous aura spread instantly.

On the Tsushima Strait, a sea battle is about to break out...
