"Kamikaze!"
In the lobby, Feng Shengkou kept repeating this word.
Sitting opposite him, Qintian Supervisor Liu Rixin nodded and said: "According to the predictions of the officials and others, the weather in the east is not good, and there are changes in wind and clouds, which are signs of divine wind."
"Xiaoguan searched for Jinyi and specifically asked the local Japanese people. Kamikaze occurs in the Japanese country almost every year, and it is almost at this time."
Feng, who has been fighting inland, has naturally never seen a typhoon, and he doesn't know what it will be like when a typhoon blows.
However, with Meng Yuan taking the lead, Feng Sheng would not ignore the reminder from Qin Tianjian.
"How long will it take for the kamikaze to arrive?"
After thinking for a while, Feng Sheng asked.
Liu Rixin said: "There is a saying among the people on the southeast coast that "one thunder in June will stop three, and one thunder will come in nine places in July." However, we are located in Japan, so the divine wind should arrive in Japan first, and then it will make itself clear. . "
"According to the time limit, the Japanese kamikaze should be about one or two months in advance for the greater magnitude of the kamikaze. It is May right now, there is thunder in the far east, and the kamikaze will arrive about a month later."
"The lower official has ordered people to observe signs on the eastern sea from high mountains. When the divine wind comes, there will be fish-shaped clouds floating in the sky. If the cloud color is , it indicates that the typhoon will ease. If the cloud color is 4 , then the typhoon will be fierce. "Meng."
"You will know when the time comes."
Feng Sheng nodded: "Look, we can only build defenses immediately, but we don't know how severe this hurricane will be. If it is compared to what it was three years ago, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything."
"Now the Japanese side is holding back its troops, and the Kyushu Island is even hiding from the enemy. They are not confronting our army head-on. It is probably because of this divine wind."
"Trying to destroy me with divine wind, and then, like Meng Yuana, win."
When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, there were also two major typhoons in the Ming Dynasty.
It is recorded:
On the fifth and seventh day of Hongwu, there were strong winds and seas, and more than ten thousand people died.
On the 23rd day of Hongwu, at the beginning of July, a hurricane blew up the sand, and three people were drowned, and 1,700 families were buried in the belly of the fish. In Chongming, all the huts along the sand were destroyed, and seven out of ten people drowned. In Songjiang Prefecture, more than 20,000 people drowned.
After talking with Liu Rixin, Feng Sheng was not too late and immediately ordered the construction of typhoon defense fortifications.
For typhoon prevention, the main method is to strengthen.
But before Feng Sheng, there is also the matter of the Ming Dynasty fleet.
"Feng, please send word to our army to immediately select ten thousand from the army and sail the fleet back to the Ming Dynasty."
Feng Sheng called his nephew over and gave instructions.
He didn't know how big the hurricane would be. If it was too big, it would have a severe impact on the fleet.
Every ship is a valuable asset. In a hurricane, it is already difficult for people to survive, let alone a ship.
"Uncle, if the fleet returns, my nephew is worried that the morale of the army will be affected."
Feng Cheng hesitated for a moment and said.
For the Ming Dynasty's sergeants, the fleet is like a rear. If all the fleet leaves, it will feel like the back road is blocked, and morale will naturally decline.
"It's not like we have to come over here, turn around to the Ming Dynasty, and report the situation here to Your Majesty. The food supply here on Kyushu Island is poor, and coupled with the hurricane, there will definitely be large-scale casualties."...

"Including food, it is estimated that it will also be severely damaged. While the fleet's return will be preserved, food can also be prepared for use in the aftermath of the disaster."
"These things will be passed down to the sergeants when the time comes."
Feng Sheng said calmly.
As a top contemporary name, he can be said to be well versed in controlling military morale.
Coupled with his personal prestige, even the generals led by Yan and Jin were very capable, but compared to Feng Sheng, they can only be said to be very different.
...
"Look, they're all waiting for the hurricane in June."
Zhu, who was in Suzhou Prefecture, got information about the Japanese country at the first time.
The current situation of Japan is relatively in line with expectations.
For most soldiers, the expedition is against the biggest enemy,
Often it is not a battlefield, but a completely unfamiliar environment.
Acclimatization is just a very simple name later, but now, it can really kill people.
It’s not just about a few deaths, but once a plague forms, it will kill a large area.
Most of the generals who went on the expedition to Japan had lived inland for a long time, and a single stun could consume a lot of their combat power.
In the naval battle against Japan, it was Daemingshui of the Kujingsu Station who appeared, and this was the only way to succeed in one fell swoop.
"Dong, the population of the Japanese country is currently relatively tight, so it is impossible to transport a large number of Japanese people to the Ming Dynasty."
"Although it now occupies one-third of Kyushu Island, in the war-torn land, it is difficult to exploit mineral deposits. Currently, in the land of Japan, the business of our chamber of commerce is greatly reduced."
"Including those big weapons, they are also reducing their demand. They hope that we can provide more elite weapons."
"Currently, Japan has offered twenty taels of silver per matchlock gun, and fifty taels per artillery piece."
Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
At present, the Ming army is almost in a one-sided situation against the Japanese.
For example, those cities could be captured on the same day they were attacked.
The biggest factor why it is so simple lies in the use of firearms.
The current Japanese is an era of big, long, bow and arrow.
Especially in that short city, the generals and generals blasted it with cannons for half an hour. Not to mention the city gates, the city walls were almost destroyed.
What about defense.
Then Huo Tongbing went up and fired, and then the army pressed down, so there was no resistance.
After seeing the power of Ming military firearms, the Japanese naturally spent a lot of money and wanted to purchase firearms and armaments.
However, firearms were all under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, especially the sea area. Even smugglers did not dare to risk supplying them at this time.
Not to mention smuggling, even purchasing large amounts of fire or gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty area will be subject to government scrutiny.
Once any rumors are leaked, it goes without saying that all nine tribes will be 100% destroyed.
At present, due to the government-run relationship, it seems that it is slow to create fire, but in fact the cost is not very high.
Even if it is a large one, the comprehensive price is only about eight guan notes. For example, if the cost of making a matchlock gun is one higher, it will not exceed two guan notes. ….

Although in theory it is one to one silver, in reality the purchase of one tael of silver is still much more than the treasure banknotes.
Twenty taels of a match rope is almost a sky-high price.
This is just a match rope, including gunpowder, it's a huge profit.
But Zhu Ying has no plans to go there for the time being, especially for the Japanese country.
Today, firearms are still firmly controlled by the government, and there are no arms. Zhu Ying will take advantage of the dimensionality reduction brought by current firearms to carry out a new round of expansion for the Ming Dynasty before he starts to consider selling off some obsolete firearms.
Even if the Japanese offer a higher price, they will never sell them a fire gun.
Zhu Ying pondered for a while and said, "The price offered by the Japanese will definitely attract a group of desperate merchants, especially Shanxi merchants."
"If they want fire, they can only find a way inside the guardhouse."
"In that case, Zhang, let our secretly controlled small chambers of commerce send word of the purchase of matchlock guns."
"The price is just five taels of silver for a fire and ten taels for a matchlock gun. We'll take whatever you get."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang said, "Wonderful, my boss's method is really good. In this way, we will know immediately who is trying to sell us off, and we can directly cut him off."
Zhu Ying smiled and said nothing.
Fishing and law enforcement have long been a routine used by later generations.
At present, there is no chamber of commerce selling troops. As long as he is the first to release the news, no one will think that he is from the imperial court.
Moreover, this business is still long-term. As long as there is a little seedling, we can quickly find the source and eliminate it.
Relatively speaking, when there are clues, it is easy.
The current situation in Suzhou Prefecture is not bad. Once the money is available, it will basically start a shipyard.
Naturally, Zhu Yinglai is not the one to worry about these things.
Next is a new itinerary: Shanghai.
From the Yuan Dynasty to the 28th of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court approved the establishment of Shanghai by Pu San Hanwen, the prefect of Songjiang, and the county seat was set in Shanghai Town established in the Song Dynasty.
Since the Han Dynasty, Shanghai has had money casting, iron smelting, and salt cooking industries.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, as the economy in Jiangnan continued to develop, the economy in Shanghai also developed rapidly.
In the early Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, a sea-protecting pond was built starting from Yanguan in the south and ending at Wusongjiang River in the north.
The land was also opened up and gradually developed into an important grain-producing area.
As a result, the population, counties and towns gradually expanded, and their scale expanded day by day.
Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, the economic and cultural ties between Shanghai and Shanghai at home and abroad have been further expanded. In the 10th year of Tang Dynasty, Huating was set up in an area drawn from Kunshan, Jiaxing and Haiyan counties, and the Huating Sea was located in the northeastern part of Huating County.
Qinglongji in the northeastern part of Huating County is known for its sea of ships, clouds, and fireworks. People at that time compared it to Hangzhou.
At that time, Shanghai, as a new trading port, was already a place where merchants gathered.
From the Yuan Dynasty to the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, a municipal ship was established in Shanghai Town, and then the Capital Water Transport Wanhu Mansion was established.
Among them, Shanghai Town has become "a giant town in the northeast of Huating".
In the 28th year of Yuan Dynasty, five townships in the northeast of Huating County were divided and named Shanghai County.
Shanghai was established as a county and its economy developed greatly. ….

The cotton planting industry is becoming increasingly popular, and the cotton textile industry is also gradually emerging.
A native of Wunijing, Songjiang, brought back advanced textile technology from Hainan and reformed the textile industry. The quantity and quality of fabrics were high, which promoted the development of the handmade cotton textile industry.
In the Ming Dynasty, the name of Shanghai County was still used.
"It's really prosperous."
Zhu Ying sighed.
Shanghai County, compared to other places, has developed commercially due to the rise of the textile industry, which already had the initial capital-employment relationship.
Including rice here, most of them are growing cotton.
The situation of food and cotton cultivation is almost 50-50 split.
In addition, it is an important water transport port in itself, and ships transporting food supplies by sea all sail from Shanghai.
This has also led to a shortage of food in Shanghai County.
When labor is liberated, the rise of industrialization is inevitable.
The Qunying Chamber of Commerce's influence in Shanghai County is still very strong, mainly because of the previous Xuehuayan.
In Shanghai, salt dealers are special, especially private salt dealers.
When Snowflake Salt appeared, it had a huge impact on Shanghai.
It is precisely because of this that in the early days, although Zhu Ying did not come in person, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce could be said to have two levels of profits, almost all of which came from here.
Most of the snowflakes from other places in the Ming Dynasty were also transported from Shanghai.
Seventy percent of the salt official names that Zhu Ying reported to the old man were in Shanghai County.
In a restaurant, Zhu Ying took the name of the person in charge of the Shanghai branch from Uncle Zhang and began to read it carefully.
The main record in this list is about the current basic situation of each chamber of commerce.
There are also official officials, salt officials, etc.
After reading it, Zhu Ying said with some sigh: "When I came here, I already felt that the land of the merchants here did not seem to be counted. I just didn't think that the water transport merchants could really cover the sky with one hand."
"It's quite interesting to say that the water transport merchants are so helpful. It's because of the snowflake salt from my side that we banded together and added various kinds of products to sell them for several times the profit."
"Zhang, they are more ruthless than us."
Water transport merchants, referred to as water transporters.
The current composition of the Shanghai Cao Gang is very different from that of the Suzhou Prefecture.
Perhaps it is because there are more businessmen in Shanghai, so it is not easy to form a business
Gang group, and the leader of the Cao Gang here turned out to be a guard sergeant.
After tracing all the way, all the clues finally pointed to Zhenhaiwei.
They say they are chasing, but in fact the members of the Cao Gang are very noisy and have no intention of keeping it secret. If the slightly powerful chamber of commerce refuses to obey, they will directly use the name of Zhenhaiwei.
Speaking of which, Zhenhaiwei has some connections with Zhu Ying.
Because Zhenhaiwei was established by Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia.
The name of the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the twenty-four generals of Huaixi, was the Marquis of Jiang Xia who was famous for causing chaos in the palace and even being killed.
Later Jiang Xiahou was transferred to Fujian, but there are still many of his old subordinates here.
"This Zhenhai Guard is quite powerful. When asked about other guards, most of them are commanders exploiting the sergeants."
"But now the Zhenhaiwei commander is leading his sergeants to exploit merchants. Instead, he has established a gang like the Caogang to control all merchants and extract large profits from them."
"I guess many salts are also with Zhenhaiwei."
"This guy will probably make a lot of money in a year, which is why the sergeants at the guard station are completely devoted to him."
"Don't think it's me. It won't work even if the old man passes by."
Zhu Ying said with a smile, but there was no smile in his tone.
Zhenhaiwei dared to be so arrogant, it was definitely not just Jiang Xiahou's old subordinates.
It is very surprising that it also involves the Huaixi Generals Group.
In other words, Zhenhai, who is the backend of the Cao Gang, is still Zhu Ying's direct descendant in a sense. .
