() In the nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only the navy has not been defeated. If Zheng Zhilong was not so ambitious at the beginning, he would take on the important task of continuing this glory like another time and space, and maybe he could really capture the leader of the Japanese island nation.
He was kept in a cage as a monkey. Unfortunately, due to the joint efforts of Zhu Youcong and Master Fan, he chose a completely different path, so that he is now blocked in Nagasaki Port and is about to suffer disaster.
However, Zheng Zhilong is not so easy to bully. With his prestige and connections, he actually mobilized a lot of reinforcements in just eight days. Unfortunately, these guys came and went faster, and there were several small companies of reinforcements.
Ying was picked up by the Ming navy guarding the gate without even seeing him. Looking at the broken flags that were picked up from the sea and thrown in front of him by the Ming army, Zheng Zhilong was completely angry. Are there any bullies like you? If not
Those iron knots may explode if you don't touch them. If the Tokugawa shogunate hadn't issued the One Country, One City Order, if it hadn't been for the most powerful Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain who refused to cause trouble, if it hadn't been... how could you have been allowed to be so arrogant?
In fact, it is not only Zheng Zhilong who is angry, but the pirates under him have long been unable to endure this kind of torture. They have no problem saying that the imperial army beat people with strong ships and cannons, but according to international tradition, those who fell into the water have already begun to raise their spirits.
Calling for surrender, why should they throw a rope to rescue them? But these inhumane Ming soldiers took out their muskets and played a shooting game on the sea! Although I don’t know that they did this because General Zhenguo once attacked the expedition.
The navy officers issued strict orders that anyone who dared to save a Japanese pirate would demote his family into lowly slaves for nine generations without being expelled. But while the kind-hearted Zheng family pirates condemned the cruelty of the Ming army, they gradually turned from anger to hysteria.
They have been clamoring all day long for the Ming army to clear the mines, so let’s have a fair duel! . .
"Brother Lu, I have no choice but to send you here. If you go any further, you will be in danger of being discovered!" Zheng Hongkui couldn't bear to see his brothers living in dire straits, so he abandoned the fleet after just two days off the coast of Nagasaki.
Er Sha was given the leadership, while he himself drove the test ship around Yingdao and carried more than 500 officers and soldiers there.
"Sure! There's still thirty or forty miles to go, let's just swim there!" Lu Shanji's troops are not so much the Ming Dynasty version of the Marine Corps as they are an organized and disciplined killer group with the name of the military. They
What they are better at is sneak attacks. In the past year, they have even increased their training in armed swimming. Not to mention the calm sea route of forty miles, they are sure to sneak in even longer distances without anyone noticing.
Shimonoseki Port.
"Brothers, do you still remember the imperial edict issued by Taizu when he learned about the invasion of Japanese pirates?" Since we are sending out troops, whether it is to bully others or to take revenge, we must say something to improve morale. Although my subordinates like this
The soldiers were so anxious that they almost jumped into the sea, but as a Confucian general, Lu Shanji still felt that this tradition should be followed.
"Prepare the knife and kill him first!" was a very low response, but these five hundred warriors did not lie. This was really the imperial edict given by Zhu Yuanzhang, who had only studied in a private school for two years and had been a monk for a few days and had no education.
And this imperial edict happened to be aimed at the Japanese pirates who tried to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It feels particularly touching to say it now.
"Get dressed and go!"
Under the dim starlight, five hundred warriors jumped off the makeshift wooden planks on both sides of the battleship. That action... was very substandard and did not even qualify for the Olympic Games. After all, they were participating in a killing competition. Anyone in this competition could
All the fancy moves are superfluous.
As the warriors entered the water, strange large air bags appeared on the sea. Don't think that the Ming Dynasty has not yet invented life jackets. These soldiers have to rely on their own physical strength. There are many sheepskin rafts on both sides of the Yellow River. These are simple and easy to make.
It has long become the standard equipment of the Deer Shanji Department. As for the deerskin water support and the oil paper wrapping, it is even more essential.
Xiaguan Port was not famous during this period, but if nothing else happens, it will become famous more than two hundred years later because of the humiliating treaty signed by a Tatar. Unfortunately, Zhu Youcong belongs to this place.
Unexpectedly, he was not in the mood to sign any treaty with the Japanese country. Therefore, the only purpose of this place was to serve as a starting point for hundreds of thousands of Tatar eunuchs to ravage Japanese pirates.
At night, the dilapidated wooden houses were filled with Japanese pirate officers and soldiers responsible for defending Xiaguan. On weekdays, their main responsibility was to arrest the fishermen who secretly went out to sea. They never expected that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly launch an attack on this dilapidated place.
.And early in the morning is when they sleep soundly, and the lack of warmth in the bed is enough to make those Ashigaru who were sent here reluctant to leave.
"Oh, oh!" Two clear and high-pitched seagull calls came. Even the Ming army soldiers did not expect that the entire landing operation would be so easy. They had already crawled forward for almost a mile, and there was not even a shadow of the enemy.
Didn't you see me? Is this a war or a vacation? We are strictly following the training outline. Those damn Japanese pirates have to cooperate no matter what they say? If I had known this result, it would be better to let the navy drive in with a broken ship.
!
"After landing, disperse the entire army and wait for my signal!" In the biting sea water, Liu Ying, who was as cold as an iceberg, issued the landing order as the frontline commander of the assault force. Regardless of whether the enemy is prepared or not, there can be no luck on the battlefield.
Psychologically, even if there are a pile of wooden piles on the shore, she will strictly follow the instructions. "Remember, no one will be left alive!"
It was also unimaginably smooth. After more than half an hour, there was no sign of anyone coming on the beach, but waves of seagulls were heard calling in the dark night.
"Baga!" Unable to bear the endless cries of these evils, a samurai-like man rushed out of the dilapidated house. It seemed that he would never forget that behind his noble identity was a group of sleepy ashigaru.
Yuan Shu, who thought he had just touched the door and was discovered, walked out of the darkness, patted the dirt on his body and muttered: "I am the only one here, not eight!"
"Baga..." the samurai roared angrily and unsheathed his long sword. The sword was a good sword with a cold light, but he had no chance to make any more moves. Even the words he was about to yell out were stuffed back into his throat.
.
Yuan Shu was in a bad mood. It was embarrassing enough to be discovered. If he let this dwarf curse again in unintelligible Japanese, he would not be treated as a joke by the Shen brothers who were hiding nearby.
Returning to the country? In order to maintain his dignity, and to prevent his father, who had just joined the Ming Dynasty's general staff from joining the emperor, from being unable to hold his head high in front of others, he could only put the cold barrel of the gun in their mouths.
Yuan Shudao found that the dwarf and the guy who was so poor that he didn't even wear pants knew each other and stopped shouting. Yuan Shu was really embarrassed to shoot. After looking around, he found that he didn't seem to have brought anything valuable with him when he set out this time.
He had no choice but to take the latest model of grenade from his waist, pull out the lead and stuff it into the samurai's hand, saying: "Take it, I'll reward you!"
"Aligado!" The samurai heard clearly now. The other party spoke in Ming Dynasty Mandarin! However, the exquisite leather armor and iron cannons that only the Tokugawa shogunate's army in Edo were allowed to equip, all of this told
The person in front of him cannot be offended! What's more, he has given a reward? So no matter what dialect the person uses, he still has to have the etiquette he should have. But how can this big man run faster than a rabbit? Look,
I was just about to remind you that the road on the beach is not easy to walk, but you are always so anxious that you fall and hurt yourself!
"Boom..." The gift given by the big man naturally has its own special magical effect. Just when the samurai and his naked men were studying what it was, a strong light flashed, and the dwarfs who were gathered together just now
They collectively went to see their ancestor Wu Dalang who was appointed by the Ming Dynasty scholars!
"Fire! The first company quickly sent a signal to the fleet, and the second company was ready to instruct the attack target!" Liuying, who had already lurked at the predetermined position, saw Xingzou exposed. He did not intend to forcefully capture the broken city in the distance with his five hundred men.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Three large fireworks of different colors exploded in the sky. The noisy seagull calls just now disappeared and were replaced by the even more annoying sound of frying beans. All kinds of broken houses within five miles of Xiaguan Beach started to explode at the same time.
There was a huge explosion. Those Ming Dynasty warriors with no character did not give others a fair duel opportunity. They found bunkers and pulled the triggers or threw the grenades they carried. Even those who parked quietly at the port, in order to maintain public order and arrest people,
Broken sampans used to catch people who entered the sea mysteriously rose into the sky for no apparent reason.
"Dang! Dang! Dang..."
If there was such a big movement, if you still don’t know what happened, then the people living on this island are not Japanese pirates but non-organic creatures. The bell immediately rang in the dilapidated Xiaguan City, and the warriors guarding the city and the civilians in the city shouted at them.
We ran towards the city wall as fast as we could, still cursing. Why is the name of that family so boring that he even cares about this wretched place? There are so many big bosses who don't want to make trouble with the Tokugawa family and bully us.
Are these honest people interesting?
However, I have to admit that it is not that easy to attack the Japanese pirates no matter in the Qi Jiguang era or now. The Japanese pirates are more skillful in fighting undeclared than the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. In less than a cup of tea, the wall of Xiaguan City was already full of people.
The fully-strung bamboo bow, the not-so-good-looking but very practical bamboo spear, the few but extremely sharp samurai swords... everything seemed to tell the invading enemy that this was not the place they should come.
What made them feel sincerely gratified was that the enemies outside the city seemed to be afraid to attack easily because they saw that they had lost the opportunity for a sneak attack.
"The water is two feet deep?" When Zheng Hongkui saw the news from the rising fireworks, he slammed his fist on the cabin next to him. He cursed: "Damn, these Japanese pirates are really nothing, they are just
Don’t you know if you can take the time to dig the port deeper?”
"Okay. Is it necessary to say goodbye after a long journey to the army? Brother Zheng, don't be angry, we can go down and change ships!" The same message made Lu Shanji overjoyed. If the water in this broken port was deep enough, Zheng Hongkui
If the test ship is brought in, with the nine cannons and more than ten rocket launchers it has, what else can it do to capture Xiaguan City?
"Get the hell out of here!" Zheng Hongkui really couldn't control his anger. He thought he was willing to personally lead the reinforcements because he wanted to get more credit, but now he could see that the enemy was not far ahead but could only
Watching others beat him up! You must know that this place is thirty or forty miles away from the ruined city. Although it is still within the effective range of the rockets, he really does not have the courage to use them randomly, otherwise these inaccurate things will fall on
That's no joke on your own head!
"Sir, why don't we also transfer to the transport ship at the back?" Aurelio was more anxious than Zheng Hongkui. In any case, he at least had the reputation of being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he wanted to be in the East and even the world.
If you walk sideways on the land, you still have a lot of merit to earn.
"Transport ship?" After this reminder, Zheng Hongkui suddenly understood. He patted Aurelio hard on the shoulder and said, "That's right! You have done a good job with your suggestions. When you get back, I will personally find the general to help you get a green book!"
