Although the journey was smooth sailing, many people still died of illness. Whether it was the soldiers he led from Shandong or the troops he received in Huainan, they had no experience in sailing, so that after a few days of voyage, many people vomited and had diarrhea, and more than half of them lost their combat effectiveness, and this situation continued to spread.

The reality of seasickness among officers and soldiers made Zhu Guoqiang feel extremely anxious. He was worried that the army would collapse due to seasickness when he arrived at his destination.

However, it was smooth sailing along the way, and there was no big wave. On the fourth day of going out to sea, when the fleet approached the Liaodong waters, the officers and soldiers finally adapted to the sailing and recovered from seasickness.

At this time, the fleet arrived at the Outer Changshan Islands off the coast of Dalian Bay in the later generations. In order to regain the energy of the officers and soldiers, at the suggestion of Mao Chengzhi, the fleet sailed into this remote sea area. It is not too far from Liaodong and can be used as a rest point before landing.

It was not even necessary for Mao Chengzhi to guide the fleet. Zhu Mingzhong relied on the map to accurately find the ocean island of later generations, and then drove straight into the "Taiping Bay". When the vast fleet gathered in Taiping Bay, for a moment, the bay surrounded by islands suddenly became masts like forests, which was quite spectacular.

"Criminal, look, there is the old dragon head there. When he was going to lead the navy at the end of the year, there were a fort there. At that time, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians on the island..."

Mao Chengzhi, who returned to his old place, seemed a little disappointed. After all, everything on the island was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty captured Pi Island with the cooperation of the Korean navy, not only did the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Pi Island be killed, but all the soldiers and civilians on the coast of Liaodong were also killed. Faced with Miqing's island hunting, survivors fled to Shandong in the sea. From then on, these places became uninhabited islands. It was not until almost three hundred years later that settlers appeared again on the island.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that after destroying Dongjiang Town and clearing the Liao people on each island, Mi Qing finally felt at ease. They did not realize the importance of coastal defense. Except for the thousands of troops stationed in Lushun, there was not even a beacon tower in other places. So, after arriving in Liaodong, Zhu Guoqiang could choose the place to land at will.

While the troops were resting, Mao Chengzhi led a ship to find a suitable landing place.

Because when he was in Dongjiang Town, he led the navy to log in from here countless times, and he was naturally familiar with landing sites suitable for logging. In fact, when the other party was not prepared, logging in was very simple. As long as you find sparsely populated people and send them ashore in a flat place with a boat, it would be fine. Unlike the coast of Bohai Bay that is frozen, from the mouth of the Yalu River to the Lushun area, at most there are only some floating ice, and there are areas suitable for logging in everywhere.

The next evening, the fleet appeared on the sea surface at the mouth of the Yingna River. Facing the sea breeze, the flag with the word "Ming" was fluttering. The troops, which had been resting on the ocean island for two days, began to land on the boat.

Standing at the bow of the ship, when he saw a big flag planted into the land of Liaodong again, Zhu Guoqiang said excitedly with confidence.
