Chapter 199 Sunrise Peak

Mr. Zhao and his party docked at the obviously large and excessive dock in Pune, Chengshan... Pu means the waterside or the river flows into the sea. All ports on Danluo Island are called XXP.

Before the ship was stable, a group of shabby clothes of Li Chao people rushed to the dock with heavy bottles, jars, bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets on their heads, and rushing to the dock to hawk the people on the boat.

Although they spoke Korean, looking at the kimchi, salted fish, bacon, wine, and fresh fruits and vegetables on their heads made Zhao Hao feel like the scene when he took a train to the station in the 1990s.

Park Chengxing couldn't hold her face anymore. He told Zhao Hao that this was because of smuggling in the port. Baiding and servants from nearby Chengshan Town and even Jingyi County were also scared at first when they saw the Japanese appear, but gradually became accustomed to it. So whenever they traded, they would come to Chengshanpu to do small business.

Japanese ships and maritime merchants also need supplies. There is supply and demand. Over time, a few days before the New Year, the villagers of Li Chao who were waiting for him would gather here, and they would not disperse until the ships on both sides left.

It was almost the first day of July, and these mud legs came as usual to eat. Zhao Hao also saw a few women standing in the distance with empty hands, applying makeup, who were here to do flesh and flesh business.

But these villagers still don’t understand that the boat they are waiting for will not come...

Park Sung-sing shouted loudly and asked these untouchables to get out of here and not to taint Mr. Zhao's eyes.

Unfortunately, his official robe had already broken during the interrogation. Now he is wearing the blue and black uniform of the Coast Security Team. Who would have a chance to rob him?

In order to show his humility, Park Sung-sung did not bring his personal soldiers on the boat. He caught the blind man and had to ask Zhao Hao to send two guards to get off the boat with him and ask someone to maintain order at the nearby water battle station.

Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, asking Wang Rulong to send a few more Marines to accompany him.

Park You was surrounded by hawkers when he got off the boat and did not buy anything. Fortunately, Wang Rulong sent a team for him, and the boat also needed more abundant ingredients. The team leader asked the hawkers to sell them to the chief officer on the boat, so he protected Park Sung-sung and squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the camp on the hillside not far away.

Zhao Hao saw that there were several Li Chao navy ships moored at the pier. There was such a big fuss here, and no one in the camp came out to check it out. The garrison was so relaxed that it was so unsensible...

But this has nothing to do with him. He only cares whether this Chengyamaura is suitable for use.

"How about Brother Jin? Is this our fleet base suitable for use?" Zhao Hao asked inadvertently at the vast harbor.

Jin Ke's heart moved and looked at Wang Rulong, which was unconcealed. The young master said before that he wanted to find a port on Jeju Island as a forward base to punish Japanese pirates.

But no matter how insensitized they can still appreciate the difference between fleet bases and forward bases, which is not just as simple as permanent and temporary...

"Go back to the young master." Jin Ke said carefully: "If you only regard this place as a temporary base for punishing Japanese pirates, it is perfect. If you want to operate it as the home port of the fleet, your foundation will naturally be excellent. But the problem is that although the harbor here is large enough, only Chengshan and Niu Island can provide a barrier to shelter. Danluo Island is famous for its strong winds and will enter the typhoon season starting next month. I am afraid that large fleets will find it difficult to stay safely."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded, looked at Wang Rulong and said, "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

"Of course, what the young master said, what is it?" Wang Rulong said with a chuckling.

"Don't interfere, this is finding a home for you. If you have any ideas now, don't complain to me at that time." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Hehe, then let's just talk nonsense." Wang Rulong scratched his head and said first: "My old Wang is home all over the world, just a brick of the young master. You can move it wherever you say."

It made Zhao Hao laugh, and Jin Ke smiled helplessly. Lao Wang became less reserved in front of the young master.

"But the children of the security team have been stationed on this island thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so they are afraid they will suffer from homesickness."

"Hahaha, Danluo Island is not an ordinary island, it is as big as two Kunshan counties." Zhao Hao laughed again.

Wang Rulong hurriedly said embarrassedly: "That's right. But Chengshan is far away from the main channel, and he is guarding loneliness. Why didn't the young master put his home port in Dajing County, which is both troublesome and convenient."

"It makes sense." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, think about it slowly, let's climb the mountain first."

"Yes." The two nodded, both of them knowing that the young master was not asking them for advice at all, but examining them. They quickly started thinking about what the young master had strategic intentions.

~~

At this time, Park Sung-sung brought a group of Lee Dynasty officers and soldiers to fight back from the water battle site.

The soldiers of Li Chao, wearing a straw hat and a blue war jacket, brutally dispersed their compatriots gathered at the dock. It was still Mr. Zhao who couldn't stand it and asked the vendors to stay outside. If there was any need for sailors on the boat to escort, they would naturally buy them.

He took Qiaoqiao and Secretary Ma, accompanied by Jin Ke and Wang Rulong, climbed along the green hillside toward the Sunrise Peak of Chengshan. Pu Chengxing followed behind with the Baihu Gao Xuezhi of the Water War Institute, Dian'er Dian'er and waited for the order at any time.

Chengshan Sunrise Peak is like a huge crown, standing at the easternmost end of Danluo Island... Well, the altitude is actually less than two hundred meters.

But its preciousness lies in its good shape. Except for the terrain that is slightly gentle on the northwest side, there are steep cliffs on the southeast and north sides, forming an insurmountable natural castle.

Following the simple mountain road excavated by the defenders, Mr. Zhao and his party climbed to the top of the mountain, and were shocked by the scenery in front of them.

The entire top of the mountain is full of grass and trees, like a verdant green dish, surrounded by a city wall, and the depression in the middle is very flat, as big as thousands of acres, so you can run a horse.

Moreover, there are really horses here. In addition to more than a hundred Mongolian horses, there are also free-range cattle and sheep. Zhao Hao even saw the pigpen.

"Yeah, can't you make a mistake in the side job?" Mr. Zhao smiled and looked at the chubby Baihu. This was the first fat man he saw after coming to Jeju Island.

Raising horses can also be understood as military needs, while pigs, cattle and sheep can only be said to be doing side jobs.

Speaking of which, the soldiers in this city's mountain war station are not as pale and thin as those of other comrades, and obviously the food can keep up.

"This..." Gao Xuezhi, a fat hundred-house household, was embarrassed and hurriedly looked at Park Youzun inquiry.

"To be honest, the young master knows everything." Park Sung-sung ordered in a deep voice: "You should respect the young master as much as you treat my father, do you understand?"

Gao Xuezhi was born as a personal soldier of Park Sung-sung, otherwise he would not have had this fat. He immediately realized that his right envoy had already knelt down and hurriedly said: "Looking at their profits, the young people were very envious, so they bought these pigs, horses, cattle and sheep for Japanese merchants, and kept them on the mountain temporarily, and sold them when the ship came, so they earned a spread and subsidy for their lives."

"You are quite good at doing business." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile. Park Sung-sung is considered to be aware of people and responsibilities. No wonder he earned so much from Chengshanpu.

Park Sung-xing diligently asked Gao Xuezhi to lead a few horses and ride them for Mr. Zhao to play with them. He killed a few fat pigs and sheep to work hard.

"Young Master, don't think that our Danluo Island is not good for growing crops, but it is a good place to raise animals!" Pu Chengxing explained while filling Zhao Hao's saddles: "We not only raise horses here, but also pork, beef and mutton are better than other places, especially black pork, which is simply the most delicious thing in the world. You must try the craftsmanship of a villain. My roasted pork skin is very delicious!"

"Haha, then go down the mountain and try your old Pu's skills." Zhao Hao smiled and looked at him. Park Chengxing immediately understood and pulled Gao Xuezhi down the mountain to arrange his plans without disturbing the young master's words.

However, Lao Pu did not brag. The wind on Danluo Island has a faint salty taste, which makes the plants and trees here rich in salt and become excellent pastures. Therefore, Danluo Island is a god-given pasture that can be as famous as Hokkaido. Of course, when it comes to resources, it is definitely not comparable to Hokkaido...

Mr. Zhao, who has a very good appetite, has just stood on the land of Danluo Island and has already been looking forward to the sky and coveted the Esplanade nearly two thousand miles away!

Mr. Zhao asked Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan to continue riding horses in the valley, while he and the King of Jin ran to the northeast of Sunrise Peak, and then got off the horse and climbed the ridge.

After they climbed to the top of the mountain, the vast sea surface appeared in front of the three of them again.

Mr. Zhao slapped the wind with a straw hat and turned around and asked the two of them, "Do you know what is on the other side of the sea?"

"It's Japan." Wang Rulong said.

"No, it's our hegemony!" Zhao Hao said to the two confidant generals with a bold pride: "I confess, I won't pretend anymore. I want to build a super navy across the seven seas, and drive the Red-Farewell Yi back to Europe, so that the sun and the moon shine and the warships will all be ashamed of the Han family!"

The strong sea breeze blew the red jacket on Mr. Zhao's body, and Jin Ke and Wang Rulong were silent for a moment, but there was no surprise on their faces, but instead showed a look of relief.

Then the two of them knelt on one knee at the same time, clasped their fists and said loudly: "I wish to drive forward for the young master, even if I die!"

"Uh..." Mr. Zhao was surprised to let go of his hand pressing his head. If it weren't for the neck rope on the straw hat, he would have to blow it to heaven. "You two have guessed it long ago?"

"As the minions of the young master, I saw that the young master bought guns, built warships, and formed a navigator, and wanted to set up a sailing school!" Jin Ke said firmly: "Even if you are foolish, you know that the young master's ambition is not in the temple, not in the local area, but on the border of thousands of miles!"

"I just didn't expect that the young master's ambition is not only in the East, Beiyang, but also in the South, and the West!" Wang Rulong also said with a fanatical look of excitement: "Okay, it's okay, the giant ships crisscross the seven seas is the real ambition, which can express the sun of the sky!"

"As the young master said, the Westerners have traveled thousands of miles to the ocean by carving giant ships, and show their power on our Ming Dynasty sea with giant cannons!" Jin Ke, Wang Rulong and Zhao Hao have been quite a while, and their understanding of the changes in the world today is naturally far beyond that of the government and the country.
