If the information Zhu Jun received is correct, the current Japanese island country is in the period of war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is said that the fighting is quite fierce.
This also led to the shogunate's increasingly weakened control over local celebrities.
However, the so-called war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties may have been a village-on-township or village-on-village battle, not a war involving tens of thousands of people in the traditional sense of the Central Plains.
At this time, the shogunate emperor had been vacant for a long time, so he did not have strong control over various places.
The Japanese island country also has literati, farmers, businessmen and other classes.
Unlike Daye, the "scholars" of the Japanese island country are warriors, not scholars in the Chinese sense.
The samurai were governed by local vassals, the daimyo, who were subjects of the shogunate.
Now, the daimyo have become independent one after another, and they have entered the Warring States Period.
Now, the Japanese islands of Kyushu, Shikoku and Honshu are divided into dozens of small countries.
They are constantly attacking each other.
So, who gave them the courage to plunder the great cause?
This is very worth thinking about.
Zhu Jun came to the shore, the Xuanwu Army was ready to go, and all the sailors and soldiers were already ashore.
Liao Wuan and King Kong Nu had also boarded the ship long ago.
"Your Highness, we have notified the county and asked them to close the city gate." Li Jiba hurried over.
Although in Li Jiba's view, there was absolutely no need to make a fuss out of a molehill. After all, there were not many Japanese bandits coming, and it was absolutely impossible for them to go beyond the limits.
However, the rules set by the court cannot be discarded. The most important thing is that Zhu Jun wants to take this opportunity to capture these people, and then drag them into Wendeng County to behead them to further inspire people.
Zhu Jun nodded and did not board the ship. Instead, he had a chair brought over and sat comfortably on the beach, drinking tea.
He held a telescope in his hand and observed the situation on the sea surface.
Although the distance is far, it can be seen that the opponent's fleet is all small boats with less than 800 materials.
Almost all of them cost 200 materials, and most of them cost 400 materials.
The Japanese island country is small and the people are weak. In addition, during the Warring States Period, the country was divided and divided. It is good to be able to gather so many ships.
I just don’t know whose power these people belong to.
Xun Busan has also been trained now. He has traveled extensively with Zhu Jun. He has gained more experience and has become calmer.
While making tea for Zhu Jun, he said with a smile: "These people are really short-sighted. They dare to look this way. They will never come back."
"This place is also relatively close to the Japanese island country. If there is a favorable wind, we can arrive there within ten days. Compared to places such as Suzhou, which are heavily guarded, Weihaiwei seems to be a little worse."
The Weihai Guards here are not yet known as the Four Great Guards in the World. Although they are poor, they are much richer than those in the Japanese Island Kingdom.
Xun Busan said: "It would be great if one day we could attack the Japanese island country!"
"Do you still have this idea?"
"Didn't His Highness say that one day he would conquer the Japanese island country and use it as a back garden?"
"It's not your turn to go." Zhu Jun lightly kicked him, "However, I do have an errand to give you."
Xun Busan was stunned for a moment, then became excited and knelt on the ground, "Please give me your orders, Your Highness!"
"Get up, I'll just say it casually. I haven't said anything about this yet." Zhu Jun thought of the Three Treasures eunuchs sailing to the West, and he wanted to imitate him a little, and wanted the 'Gou Dongshi' to sail to the sea.
But now Xun Busan is still in charge of the Tianming Group, and he really can't spare any manpower.
It seems that he does not have any sea trade talents under his command.
Moreover, the voyage to the West cannot start from Weihaiwei.
He could only think about this matter in his heart.
Seeing Zhu Jun half-sentence, Xun Busan's heart felt like a cat scratching his head.
Li Jiba and others on the side were ready to guard Zhu Jun's surroundings.
Others watched from afar.
On the No. 1 main ship, a sailor slipped down from the mast, "General, the enemy seems to have turned around!"
"Want to escape?" Liao Wuan sneered, "The wind is blowing from the southeast at the moment. How fast can they go against the wind? Retract the sails, speed up, catch up with them, and stick to them."
After leaving Bingzhou, Liao Wuan felt a little regretful that he did not suppress the bandits.
Now that he is the queen of the vassal, his eagerness to make great achievements can only be put on hold for the time being. He is just waiting for the great cause to fight against Chen Han and Zhang Zhou in the future. At that time, it will be his time to show off his talents.
However, it’s also great to practice with these little thieves.
On the second fleet, Vajra Slave also said loudly: "Speed up, catch up!"
After wiping out the pirates, Zhu Jun originally wanted him to stay on Peach Blossom Island to train his troops, but it backfired. He was a good navy man, but later became a porter carrying supplies, and he felt unhappy.
The fleet was very fast, and the boat focused on speed had already launched into the water and rushed towards the opponent.
Because of the strong wind and strong waves, the pursuit was extremely difficult, and the opponent's escape speed was also greatly reduced.
Facing the enemies sent forward, Vajra Slave's eyes turned red.
The oarsmen in the cabin moved their hands very fast, staring at the strong wind and waves, and forced themselves to increase their speed.
They train a lot every day, and their arms are thick and strong.
But it cannot be said that they eat well. Ordinary people eat three meals a day, but they eat four or even five meals a day.
There is enough fish, meat, rice and steamed buns for every meal.
Serving as a soldier under other people's hands would not give you such treatment.
Not only do they eat well, drink well, and wear good clothes, but their monthly salary is 30 to 50% more than others.
So when training, I work extra hard and dare to fight and kill.
"One or two punches!"
Hundreds of flags shouted slogans and beat drums, inspiring people.
People standing on the deck watched the ship flying over the waves.
The speed of both sides is approaching bit by bit.
The people on the other side were not stupid either, they began to spread in all directions.
But it was too late to escape at this time.
The pursuing soldiers had surrounded them, and they could only continue to move forward.
When the distance was within the range of the ship's cannon, Liao Wu'an ordered, "Send the order, the ship's cannon is on standby and fire accurately."
When they raided Yingchang, they only had the main ship loaded with cannons. But now, after Zhu Jun spent a lot of money to improve technology and increase steel production, the number of their cannons has jumped to sixty.
The mark of 100 statues is not far away, and it is expected to reach 100 statues before the year.
With a hundred ship cannons, the cannonballs fired during water battles will form a strangulation array.
When the two armies competed against each other, with both sides using racket sticks, horns, and even stone cannons, the ship cannon was undoubtedly an epoch-making weapon that could crush the opponent.
What Zhu Jun means is that next year, the number of cannons on the ship will be increased to 300!
Three hundred ship cannons are enough to cure the phobia of insufficient firepower.
Under the stranglehold of three hundred cannons, even if there are many people coming, they will all kneel!
Liao Wuan stood at the bow of the ship, with the sound of cannons echoing in his ears. The distance between the two sides was offset by the sound of cannons!
