With the establishment of guard posts on land, the two-level system of suppressing Japanese pirates, and the four-level defense zones of villages, towns, counties, and prefectures, everyone performed their duties and defended their territory. At the same time, the Japanese pirates' eyes and ears were almost wiped out. It was a bit of a fluke.
Those who slipped through the trap were frightened by the government's brutal suppression and did not dare to cooperate. Once the Japanese pirates landed, they could hardly gain any benefits.
They initially wanted to attack the county town, but found it difficult to capture it. After fighting for more than an hour, the guardsmen and soldiers were buzzing like flies that smelled blood. They had no choice but to leave dozens of corpses and retreat. In this case,
Several times, they turned to the next best thing and attacked towns and villages. They found that the effect was almost the same as attacking the county. Moreover, the people were more fearless because they were defending their homes and relatives. In addition, the terrain was much better than theirs.
The familiarity and elusiveness made it even more difficult to guard against. As a result, after less than an hour of fighting, the officers and soldiers came again.
Many days later, they noticed that a wisp of black smoke floating on a certain hilltop might have something to do with them. Moreover, the black smoke still had a meaning. It could simply express some meaning, warn, call for help, or point them to them.
The direction of travel, etc. As soon as they landed, there were already fireworks to convey the news. From the villages, towns, villages, counties to the local guard posts, their people had not arrived yet, and swords and guns had been sharpened everywhere.
He raised his bow and arrow and waited for them to come.
The Japanese pirates couldn't get any benefits on the shore, so they had to retreat to the sea. This way back, they had to lose some lives. When they returned to the sea and encountered the Ming Navy ships, they would choose to avoid a head-on conflict as usual, but the Ming Dynasty
The military's ship equipment has changed, and many small ships with strong maneuverability have been added, which are no slower than their ships. Therefore, they inevitably have to lose some ships and personnel before they can escape pursuit.
From land to sea, they have not had any large-scale frontal battles with the Ming army, so they have never suffered too heavy casualties. The problem is that this kind of continuous flesh-cutting attack has caused a lot of concentrated losses, and it has also reduced their morale.
They were all exhausted. They always brought very little supplies. According to the usual practice, each person only brought three days of food and water, and after that they had to rely on looting.
But now they can't grab anything, without food and water, they can't survive at sea. Large groups of Japanese pirates have to return to the mainland of Japan. China's coast has become much quieter, and now only some small groups of vitality can be seen occasionally.
The tenacious Japanese pirates gang. The Japanese pirates returned to their homeland, of course, not to quit, but to avoid the limelight.
The battle with the Central Plains Empire for hundreds of years has made them understand a truth: the rich can never compete with the poor. It is impossible for this big empire to maintain such a powerful method of suppressing Japanese pirates. It would consume too much.
With a big family fortune comes a heavy burden. The Central Plains Empire cannot let the coast turn into a bottomless pit that absorbs money until it brings down the entire empire. Therefore, they only need to wait and wait for the limelight to pass before they can make a comeback.
A general Haicang ship and two centipede speedboats form a small unit of offshore patrol. The general officer on the middle Haicang ship is a Baiguan named Qian Hao. It is said that his ancestor is the Qian family of Qiantang in the late Five Dynasties.
He can be regarded as a descendant of the royal family, but I don't know whether it is true or not. He is a soldier of the Taicang Guard. With the sharp decrease in Japanese pirates, the offshore patrol mission has been handed over to the officers and soldiers of Taicang and Guanhai Guard.
Xia Xun must be punished for his faults and rewarded for his merits. He must be punished for his faults. All he needs is a military stick and a steel knife. The cost is very low. Those who have merits must be rewarded, and promotions and material rewards must be matched. The money for material rewards is
The money came from the seized unowned filth and "donations" from the coastal gentry and wealthy merchants, which indeed fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
Nowadays, no one complains about being tired when patrolling the sea. Anyone who gets the task of patrolling at sea is as happy as if he has picked up a gold ingot. The Japanese pirates came on the waves originally to make a fortune, but it turned out to be an opportunity for them to make a fortune. Now they are sailing in
On the sea, Japanese pirates were pursued tirelessly every day. If Japanese ships could shine, they would be their beacons.
They patrolled with small and medium-sized speedboats, which could hold sails when the wind was favorable and paddle when the wind was against them. Once they encountered those lone Japanese boats, they would chase after them like chicken blood. So some people were promoted.
After getting rich, some people got promoted and got rich again, more soldiers hoped that their luck would be better, but they soon discovered that those "money trees" had almost escaped, and it was difficult to catch a "one" in a day.
tree".
Qian Hao stared at the bell-like eyes and patrolled for more than an hour. He didn't see a single tortoise feather. He sighed in disappointment and ordered the general to continue patrolling. He turned back and walked to the cabin, wanting to go back and rest.
, suddenly, the soldiers on the mast looking far away, as if they suddenly saw a naked girl, howled excitedly: "There is a ship! There is a ship! Master Baihu, port side ship!"
"Get rich!"
Qian Hao was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, and come forward! Send the flag and let the Centipede boats outflank us. Don't let them run away!"

Feifu stood on the bow of the boat, seeing that it was approaching the offshore waters of China, and his anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
He was very worried about meeting those crazy poor compatriots again. When he came back this time, he specially borrowed a hundred warriors from the general. Of course, once these warriors landed, they would be strictly controlled and it was impossible to lead them on a mighty expedition.
He went straight to Jinling, but his purpose was just to ensure the safety of sea navigation. Once he landed, he didn't need to rely on these warriors to show off.
Suddenly, the samurai who was in charge of the lookout in the mast bucket shouted something loudly. The sailors, helmsmen and samurai on the ship immediately became nervous and moved around. Some took control of the ship, and some drew their weapons, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
, Feifu shouted in fear: "Bless me, Amaterasu! You won't meet those bastards again, right?"
After a cup of tea, Feifu exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! It's the ship of the Ming Navy! I recognize their flag, hahaha, we are safe!"
Qian Baihu was very disappointed. He finally caught a fat fish, but the other party actually claimed that he was ordered by the King of *** to meet with His Majesty the Emperor. He also claimed to be familiar with the Governor of the Five Provinces, Mr. Yang Xu. Although the other party did not have a relationship,
However, there is a temporary pass similar to the road guide jointly issued by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, which proves that this cannot be faked.
However, as a businessman, Fei Fu was very shrewd. He also saw that the Ming general was not very interested, so he took out some gifts from the goods he brought and gave them to Qian Hao and his soldiers. This time
When he came back, Feifu brought large ingots of gold and silver, high-quality lacquerware, long knives and other specialties. He was ready to do some shopping to make up for his losses last time. Some of them were just a drop in the bucket and could be exchanged for the navy's attentiveness.
The care is still worth it.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to know about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. A ronin recommended a businessman to his people who had just arrived from the Ming Dynasty and took him to see him. The businessman's name was Dongfang Liang. When he heard this name, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was very interested.
Like it very much.
***, has always prided itself on being the land of the rising sun. During the Sui Dynasty, they tried to communicate with China. At that time, they sent envoys to China. The words in their credential were "The emperor of the country where the sun rises to the emperor of the country where the sun sets."
"", at that time they viewed China on an equal footing with China. But later, due to the Battle of Baijiangkou, their equal status completely changed.
The cause of the war between the two countries was Korea. At that time, the three kingdoms of Korea were fighting for hegemony. Baekje attacked Silla. Silla asked Datang for help. Datang sent troops to defeat Baekje and captured Baekje King Yiji. King Yiji's
The second son, Bok-shin, gathered the remnant troops in an attempt to restore the country and asked Japan for help. At that time, Japan also regarded itself as a foreign country. The reigning Empress Semyeong agreed to Bok-shin's request and sent troops to assist Baekje, which eventually evolved into
The Sino-Japanese War was the first war between China and Japan.
As a result, in the Battle of Baijiangkou, the Japanese warships were three times larger than the Tang army, but the entire army was annihilated, and Baekje was completely subjugated. It is said that after some women are raped, they will develop an obsessive love for their perpetrators, probably
The Japanese have this factor in their genes. From then on, they were crazy obsessed with everything in China, politics, economy, culture... Everything, they all learned and imitated. From the Tang to the Song Dynasty, they always followed
Students consider themselves.
But in their hearts, the arrogance and arrogance never disappeared. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ruled the world and became the emperor of the emperor. He also had a kind of pride that was exclusive to him. The name Dongfang Liang felt very auspicious to him.
I have a good impression of this Akito, and I listen to his words more pleasantly.
When he heard that the Duke, who was highly regarded by the Chinese emperor, had always been very interested in opening up the sea for business, he was committed to combating pirates, but he was not opposed to trade and exchanges with the Japanese country and was extremely in favor of it.
, finally convinced of the other party's sincerity. He discussed with several important ministers from the military family and the public family under his command, and decided to conditionally accept the Ming Dynasty's request, so Fei Fu was sent back again.
And Dongfang Liang became a guest of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu promised him that once China and Japan reopened trade, he would become the imperial merchant of Japan and enjoy many privileges that ordinary businessmen did not have. Dai Yubin originally just wanted to
Let him explore Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's mouth. After getting this news, he immediately ordered him to give up other tasks and devote all his efforts to managing his relationship in Kitayama Temple. It is terrible to have the opportunity to place such an informant in the political center of the Communist Party.
How can you let go of the rare opportunity you encounter?
"Thank you, General Qian, for escorting us!"
On the pier, Fei Fu bowed deeply to Qian Hao: "Since His Excellency Duke Fu is in Hangzhou, I will visit him first. In the future, we will still have opportunities to communicate, so please take care of me!"
