The Ming Dynasty's maritime military power could only be considered average in this era.
Many Western countries have begun the Age of Discovery, and gunboats have introduced new ones, and now they have surpassed the Ming Dynasty.
The Netherlands is one of them.
As early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands began to send envoys to visit places such as Fujian and Guangdong.
They not only came to learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty, but also wanted to obtain some advanced technologies from these places.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.
Zhu Youxiao also knew this, so he wanted to buy Dutch gunboats to fight against Japanese pirates.
Who would have thought that the launch was unfavorable. Before the Dutch gunboat could show its power, it was attacked by Japanese pirates and sunk in the sea.
Jiang Fan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely annihilate the Japanese pirates when I go."
"I feel so comforted by Jiang Aiqing's words."
Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction: "You have just come back and are tired from traveling and traveling. Please rest for a few days first. Don't be in a hurry to fight against the Japanese."
With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed not difficult to fight against the Japanese pirates, but it will still take some time to achieve a great victory.
In order to reward Jiang Fan, Zhu Youxiao had someone prepare a big gift for Jiang Fan.
When Jiang Fan left the palace, Qinglong and Baihu were carrying a large box, which was filled with great medicines and tonic ingredients that had been paid tribute by various places.
Zhu Youxiao knew how to go along with what he wanted, and Jiang Fan didn't pretend to refuse.
In addition to talent and hard work, practicing martial arts also requires external aids, especially medicinal materials.
So Zhu Youxiao selected some of the various exotic flowers and herbs that had been collected in the treasury for many years and gave them to Jiang Fan as gifts.
Return to Jiang Mansion after a long absence.
Sisters Zhou Miaoxuan and Zhou Miaotong did not leave, they welcomed Jiang Fan home like hostesses.
During this time, they often heard about Jiang Fan's defeat of the Eight Banners troops in Liaodong.
For the Han people, Hou Jin was like a ferocious beast and had always been a major concern for the Ming Dynasty, especially the border generation. The Han people feared it like snakes and scorpions and hated it deeply.
Jiang Fan fought against Hou Jin and not only regained the lost territory, but also completely defeated Hou Jin. To the people, he was like the God of War of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, it has a high reputation both in the court and among the people.
Heroes love beauties, and beauties love heroes.
With the added aura of a gold-destroying hero, it can be said that most of the women in the Ming Dynasty who have not yet left the palace will admire him.
As for Jiang Fan's willingness to open his arms, it is estimated that the matchmakers can crush the threshold of Jiang's house.
Jiang Fan didn't have any ideas about Zhou Miaoxuan and Zhou Miaotong. After all, there were probably not many men who could reject the sisters Shishi and Mi Mi at the same time.
It's not love, it's just pure lust, and it's really hard to bear sometimes.
But who asked Jiang Fan to practice "The Indestructible Boy Skill"!
Only by enduring hardship can you become a master. Only after experiencing seven levels of loneliness can you become a truly strong person!
Jiang Fan didn't want to give up halfway.
He could only keep a distance from Zhou Miaotong and Zhou Miaoxuan's overtures, which made the two sisters doubt themselves for a while.
"Sister, do you think the young master doesn't like women?"
Seeing Jiang Fan return to the house, Zhou Miaotong was a little worried.
Zhou Miaoxuan shook his head: "Probably not. Maybe Mr. Jiang has something to hide!"
"ah!"
Zhou Miaotong exclaimed, wondering if Jiang Fan had sneaked into the Dongchang?
But when she thought about it, she felt something was wrong. She once brought Jiang Fan face wash in the morning, and she clearly saw a pillar holding up the sky, and then she blushed all morning.
The two sisters talked more and more outrageously. Jiang Fan, who was in the room, almost vomited blood when he heard the conversation between the two women.
What unspeakable secrets, believe it or not, I will whip you to tears with a whip.
Jiang Fan tried to calm down as much as possible, but he couldn't let his impulse ruin his practice.
In the afternoon, Bai Hu, who had sorted and collected the information, came to Jiang Mansion and handed over the information about the Japanese pirates and Miao people in Hebei to Jiang Fan.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Grain
Although Jiang Fan is not afraid of mere Japanese pirates with his current strength and power, he cannot underestimate the enemy.
Some time ago, Jiang Fan was either busy dealing with the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, or on the way to pursue the Eight Banners Army, so he hadn't read any intelligence for a while.
Through the information sent by Bai Hu, Jiang Fan discovered the name of an "acquaintance".
This person’s name is Dongfang Bubai!
That's right, it's the invincible Dongfang who is the proudest man in the world.
[I didn’t expect that this dungeon world would also incorporate Swordsman, but I just don’t know which version it is?]
When Jiang Fan saw the terms Heimu Ya, Sun Moon God Sect, and Dongfang Invincible, he quickly thought of Swordsman.
However, there are many versions of Swordsman, including TV series, movies, novels, and maybe even fan fiction. It’s hard to tell them apart based on Dongfang Bubai’s name alone.
Then looking down, Jiang Fan discovered the names of "Sarutobi Sun and Moon" and "Hattori Senjun". Basically, it can be concluded that they are a fusion of the movie version of Swordsman.
The movie version of "Swordsman" is considered a martial arts classic.
Among them, Dongfang Bubai left a deep impression on Jiang Fan, which can be regarded as a childhood memory.
"If that's the case, I have to go and meet Dongfang Bubai for a while."
Compared with the intrigues and intrigues in officialdom, Jiang Fan still yearns for the world of pleasure and revenge.
He happened to be going to destroy the Japanese pirates, and he was expected to face off against the Sun Moon God Sect. Jiang Fan also wanted to see how strong Dongfang Bubai was?
As far as the performance of the movie version of Dongfang Bubai is concerned, it is not at the same level as World of Sword Rain.
Only such an opponent is worthy of Jiang Fan's challenge.
As for the Shaanxi rebellion, Sun Chengzong went to suppress it.
There is no war at the border right now, and Sun Chengzong wants to deal with a group of mobs. He can do it easily, so Jiang Fan doesn't need to worry about it.
...
During the Wanli period, the Japanese Kingdom of Japan ushered in the so-called Warring States Period.
The feudal lord, Toyoda Hideyoshi, defeated all the other powerful people and unified Japan.
Unwilling to surrender, some of the defeated vassal warriors fled to the southern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and invaded the coastal towns of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Dongfang Bubai, also known as Dongfang Bai, was the left envoy of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
When the ten elders of the Sun-Moon God Sect attacked Huashan, Dongfang Bai came to prominence, obtained the "Sunflower Book", and was promoted to deputy leader. Among the Sun-Moon God Sect, one person was inferior to ten thousand people.
However, Dongfang Bai was ambitious and stubborn, and the two of them had a quarrel over the "Sunflower Collection".
After sensing Ren Woxing's murderous intent, Dongfang Bai knew that he was no match for Ren Woxing. When Ren Woxing went crazy during the battle with the Wuyue Sword Sect, he launched a rebellion, imprisoned Ren Woxing, and sat on the leader's throne.
throne.
Then he began to practice the "Sunflower Collection" and changed his name to Dongfang Bubai. He first entered Shaolin and then Wudang, forcing Beidou, the two great mountains in the world, to block the mountain gate for fifty years. From then on, he became famous in one battle.
Later, he conquered the defeated Japanese warriors and used them for his own purposes.
Dongfang Bubai has great ambitions, not just in the martial arts world, he wants the world.
Originally, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil due to internal and external troubles, coupled with the corruption of the court, Dongfang Bubai saw an opportunity.
Who would have thought that Jiang Fan's emergence would be like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, quelling the factional strife in the imperial court. Many officials bribed by Dongfang Bubai were implicated and sacked one after another.
Afterwards, they swept across Liaodong, wiping out the Jin Dynasty in one month, creating a battlefield legend.
To be fair, Dongfang Bubai still admires Jiang Fan, but as a Miao, he cannot sit back and watch the Miao being bullied by the Han.
Previously, the Sun and Moon God Sect had robbed a batch of arms purchased by the imperial court from the Netherlands. Yang Xi, the manager of the East Factory, was ordered to go and beg for them, but was killed by the Japanese Ronin who had taken refuge in the Sun and Moon God Sect.
The Dutch gunboat just purchased was also destroyed in this battle.
Dongfang Bubai knew that the court would not give up, but his "Sunflower Collection" had been completed, so he had nothing to fear.
If he wants to fight, then he will fight.
The East is invincible, so why fear it?
Holding the latest information, Dongfang Bubai, who was dressed in red and white plaid, shook his fan lightly and said with a smile: "I heard that Jiang Fan has been mobilized back to Beijing. I wonder if the imperial court will send him here. This person is rare.
If you can use your talents to my best advantage, great things can be accomplished!"
A group of Japanese Rongrants in front of Dongfang Bubai knelt down and shouted in the Japanese language: "The Sun and Moon God Sect, with culture and martial ethics, will unify the world for thousands of years."
"Master of the East, for thousands of years, long live, long live, long live..."
"When the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated, hahahaha..."
Dongfang Bubai let out a hearty laugh, which was quite heroic and powerful.
