On an island sixty miles offshore from Yongcheng, many wooden houses were built at this time, and a huge wooden dock was built on one side, with more than a hundred warships parked on the shore.
This is the Kaori Island where 60,000 Japanese pirates led by Oda Yuda live. Because this island is too far from the land, most sea dwellers are not willing to live here.
A few years ago, pirates once occupied this place. However, with the establishment of the Chinese navy and the destruction of several major pirates, this place has been abandoned. However, a small force of pirates has stayed here.
But as the navy patrolled the entire outer sea, those pirates had no room for survival. In the end, they either disbanded or all fled here.
It wasn't until Yuao Oda and the others discovered that it has now added to the popularity of this big island. The island is actually quite large, and there are many dense forests on it. There is also fresh water, which is suitable for survival.
Now, Oda Yongo and his group of Japanese pirates plan to use it as their base to slowly develop outward. There are many uninhabited islands around them that they have occupied again.
There were about 40,000 Japanese pirates on Kaori Island, and the remaining 20,000 were scattered to other surrounding islands.
At this time, in a huge wooden house on the island, Oda Yongo and his generals were gathering together. After the defeat of the Japanese country, they were driven out of the Japanese island, and they had no choice but to come to China.
Oda Yuuo's idea is very simple. He wants to see if he can carve out a territory on the coast of China with the tens of thousands of people he has.
However, not long after they occupied this place, some of his men discovered that there were many huge warships patrolling the coastal area, and he did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, according to the news that came back, those giant ships moved extremely fast, and if they were to confront each other, they would probably suffer a loss.
There are not many warships in Oda Yuao's hands, and his troops cannot withstand the consumption. Before he is sure enough, he can only hide his army on Kaori Island.
But Oda Yongo was full of uneasiness. Only half of the warships sent out to spy on intelligence not long ago came back, and no news was sent back to the remaining half.
No news should have been good news, but Oda Yuuo understood that there was only one result of no news, and that was that those subordinates might never come back. If they were caught, his base might be exposed.
If the Chinese navy really comes to attack, his base area may be captured, and he will face the crisis of having nowhere to go.
Therefore, he has been contacting the other two companies during this period, hoping to join forces with them. It is best to find a way to seize a coastal city and develop it. And his target is Yongcheng.
The total number of the three parties is 130,000, and there are 300 to 400 warships. With so many warships, if they fight the Chinese Navy with all their strength, they can wipe out the Chinese Navy. Without the navy, As long as they occupy Yongcheng, they can advance to attack and retreat to defend!
At this time, in the newly built conference hall, Oda Yuuo was sitting at the head, and sitting on both sides of him were representatives sent by Yagyu Itto and Fujita Nobukatsu.
Oda Yuuo found them, and the two parties came to discuss with Oda Yuuo.
"General Oda, my lord can assist you, but my lord hopes that you will help us capture Zhenyang Mansion on the edge of Yongcheng by then. We will be stationed there. At that time, we can also help you and the general."
The representative of Yagyu Itto's men looked at Oda Yuao and said. Zhenyang Mansion is located thirty miles away from Yongcheng Mansion. It is geographically close to the sea and has a seaway leading to the inner city.
This location was actually chosen by Yuuo Oda, but since it was slightly closer to the land than Yongcheng Prefecture and had more resources, Oda Yuuo chose Yongcheng Prefecture.
"My lord hopes to get Ci Xiang's Mansion, which happens to be adjacent to the general's Yongcheng Mansion. It forms a tripod with Zhenyang Mansion. Yongcheng Mansion is located in the middle, so it is the safest."
The representatives of Fujita Nobukatsu's men stated their demands. Before they captured Yongcheng, they had already divided the territory here.
Yongcheng Mansion is the largest, while Zhenyang Mansion and Cixiang Mansion next to it are slightly smaller. But if it is managed well, it can be considered a good place to gain a foothold.
All three of them know that if they want to develop, they will never be able to develop just by relying on a few overseas islands. Moreover, they may be wiped out by China sending troops at any time.
But once they have a firm foothold on land, they can take over the people of their island country at any time. As the number of people increases, their footsteps will become more stable.
This is also the reason why the three parties decided to seize Yongcheng for development. They don't know much about China, but they know that this is their only chance.
Moreover, the news they heard from many sources was that there were not many troops deployed in China's coastal cities, and the total number of troops in the dozen or so surrounding cities was only 10,000 to 20,000.
Compared to the 130,000 people on their side, it was many times less. As long as they are given one to two months, they will be confident enough to block the Chinese counterattack.
After all, the weapons and various equipment they brought were all state-of-the-art. Once these technologies are developed in the cities they captured, they will be able to have a steady stream of resources and deal a heavy blow to the attacking Chinese.
"Okay... then it's settled. We have discussed the time to send troops. Three days later, we will gather outside Yongcheng. In addition to the 60,000 troops sent ashore by the three of us, the remaining 30,000 troops will be prepared to deal with the Chinese Navy. It is best to By annihilating them in one fell swoop, we will have less worries.”
Oda Yuao nodded, his voice a little excited.
The three parties have a total of 130,000 people. As long as 90,000 are dispatched, they are confident enough to take Yongcheng. The remaining 40,000 people were left behind in case of emergency.
After all, they always have to leave a way out. If something unexpected happens, they won't have no way to escape. Of course, Oda Yuao is still confident in this action.
Even the Chinese side may not be able to mobilize so many troops to support them for the time being. Moreover, the Chinese side may never guess that they will have the idea of seizing the city for development. They don't even know which city they want to capture.
What they have to do now is to divide the 60,000-strong army into three groups, with 20,000 people in each group to seize the three cities. If they attack at the same time, they can definitely catch the Chinese people off guard.
The other two representatives heard this and nodded, their expressions full of excitement and a hint of excitement. They had been driven to China for nearly a year, and they were already tired of living at sea.
Moreover, many of these people's relatives and friends are still in Japan. If they can find a place in China, they can bring their relatives and friends over.
As the three-party agreement was reached and the details were discussed, the three parties began to prepare their troops and be ready to attack at any time.
On the Yongcheng side, there are still 2,000 defenders. On the other side, there are also 2,000 defenders in Zhenyang Mansion and Cixiang Mansion. Yunze's 100,000 troops are now rushing to the Zhejiang-Ningbo Mansion.
But because he didn't know the specific plans of the Japanese pirates, Yunze's first stop would be Jiaxing Prefecture. This is where the capital of Zhejiang and Ningbo is located.
