Ishigami is very close to Shuangma Island and far away from the Korean Peninsula.
After more than ten days of sailing, Xu Da and Li Jin bypassed Shikoku Island and finally arrived near Shuangma Island.
All ships encountered along the way, whether fishing boats or merchant ships, were sunk by Li Jin's order.
In order to maintain the confidentiality of this attack, Li Jin did not allow any surprises.
After arriving near Shuangma Island, Xu Da suggested that Shuangma Island could be taken as a stronghold first, and then launch an attack on Shi Jianguo.
However, it was rejected by Li Jin. This time Li Jin made great fanfare and was fully prepared. The supplies of the transport ship alone were enough to consume the naval fleet for three months.
Li Jin believed that there was no need to capture Tsushima Island first to avoid alerting the Japanese daimyo.
This time they concealed their whereabouts in order to make the attack sudden. Now that there is no shortage of logistical supplies, Li Jin felt that a better plan would be to bypass Tsushima Island and directly raid Iwami Country.
Get immediate results to avoid long nights and dreams.
Although Xu Da felt that the long-distance attack on Shi Jianguo was a bit risky, he thought that this was a naval battle, which was fundamentally different from a land battle, and there was no need to consider logistics at all, so he didn't say more.
At Li Jin's suggestion, the fleet bypassed Tsushima Island in the dark and headed straight for the port of Ishimi Country.
In the early morning, when the sunrise god of Wajima slowly rose into the sky, it was accompanied by an overwhelming number of warships.
The guards at the port of Ishigami were frightened to death on the spot when they saw the sudden appearance of hundreds of warships.
"Sir, this...where is this fleet? Why...why...appear...where...us?"
The men next to them were also frightened and turned pale. Mainly because of the densely packed and huge warships, the pressure on these people was so strong that their stomachs became weak.
The Japanese general responsible for guarding the port swallowed hard and said in horror:
"how could I know?"
"Then...what should we do now?"
"Hurry up and report to the king, and ask the king to lead the army to rescue!!"
At this time, all fools know that the port cannot be defended, and they should quickly call for help.
The most powerful person in Iwami Kingdom is naturally Iwami Daimyo Miyoshi Chokei. At this time, only if he comes to help personally can he possibly stop these people.
"Hurry and invite the Lord to come!!"
Soon, a port guard rolled out of the port and headed to Iwami County to request reinforcements.
"Boom!! Boom!!!"
But just before the man left the port, he heard bursts of screaming sounds.
The sound was like a demonic sound filling the ears, breathtaking. The guard turned around quickly, only to see the most desperate scene in his life.
Countless cannonballs were seen streaking across the gray night sky, trailing long wings of fire behind them, like fire snakes, covering the sky and the sun, covering the entire Iwami Port.
then.
"Boom!"
Like a doomsday natural disaster, countless shells were like hail, hitting the port head-on and setting off waves of strong explosions.
The originally peaceful port suddenly burst into black mushroom clouds.
Buildings large and small in the port were quickly destroyed visibly to the naked eye.
From the time the fleet was discovered to the time they went out to ask for help, in less than half a quarter of an hour, except for the pier at the port, all other buildings at the port were reduced to a sea of flames.
The originally bustling port area, both people and buildings, were all destroyed by artillery, leaving no one alive.
The guard stared at everything in front of him blankly. The doomsday-like scene made him feel chilled all over.
Then, the guard ran to Ishimi County like he was crazy. He wanted to inform the king of the country quickly and ask the king to bring people to avenge these people who died in vain.
...
Fires soaring into the sky were burning in the port of Iwami Country.
Li Jin's eyes on the flagship were bright, and the fire reflected in Li Jin's pupils, making Li Jin look like his eyes were spitting fire, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth made him look extremely strange.
However, Xu Da looked a little unbearable and asked:
"Why so?"
"These people will not affect our landing at all. There is no need to cause such killings."
Just now, the fleet arrived at the port of Ishima Country. Seeing that the port was unprepared, Xu Da immediately ordered the Marine Corps to start landing in the Ishima area.
However, Li Jin directly ordered a burst of artillery bombardment of the port area before starting the landing.
Li Jin's reason was simple: to reduce unnecessary casualties, he first physically eliminated potential enemies at the port to prevent these people from causing trouble to the Ming Navy.
Then, the messenger on the flagship issued a semaphore and ordered the main battleship to fire three rounds of salvos at various areas in the port, with the purpose of wiping out all living people in the port.
Looking at the messy port in front of him, Li Jin was very satisfied and said casually:
"Marshal Xu, these Japanese are all foreigners, why should we feel sorry for these people?"
"There are millions of Japanese in the land of Japanese islands. These are the wealth of our East India Company. If it were not for the sake of our army, I would not slaughter these Japanese casually."
"But this is the bad nature of the Japanese people. You have to hurt them first before they surrender."
"That's nonsense."
Xu Da didn't believe Li Jin's plan. In his opinion, this was Li Jin's revenge.
Although I don't know what kind of hatred Li Jin has for the Japanese island, Xu Da is very clear about Li Jin's hatred of the Japanese people.
Seeing that Xu Da didn't believe it, Li Jin had to show Xu Da a lesson.
Immediately, Xu Dachao waved his hand to Jiang Yu behind him, motioning him to bring Saito Tianyi and Ashikaga Yoshinaga up.
Not long after, the two men, led by Jiang Wei, arrived on the deck.
As soon as the two people stepped out of the deck, they were startled by the fire in front of them, and an ominous premonition emerged in their hearts.
But after seeing Li Jin, the two of them showed a flattering smile and hurriedly knelt down and saluted Li Jin:
"I've met my lord."
"My lord, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your complexion is getting more and more rosy. It must be that something good has happened recently."
Xu Da was stunned when he saw this scene.
Xu Da had heard a little bit about these two people before. One was self-proclaimed and aloof, and the other was arrogant and arrogant.
Why are you so groveling now?
But the next scene made Xu Da's jaw drop.
Li Jin said with a smile:
"You two don't have to be so polite, just get up first."
"With the help of these two, we finally arrived at your hometown."
"Smell it, does the sea breeze here have a familiar smell?"
"Saito-kun, Ashikaga-kun, the cherry blossoms in your hometown are in full bloom, you can finally go back."
When they heard that they had actually arrived at the port of Wajima Island, Ashikaga Yoshinaga and Saito Taichi's hearts skipped a beat. Thinking of the fire in front of them, both of them felt heavy in their hearts.
"What? You two don't seem very happy about returning to your hometown?"
Li Jin changed the subject, showed an unhappy look on his face, and said softly:
"Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"
"No, we are very happy, and we are even more happy with your arrangements."
"That's right, we are very happy to be returning to our hometown. Don't get me wrong, sir."
After hearing Li Jin's words, the two men immediately forced a smile on their faces, with a flattering smile on their faces, which looked very weird.
Xu Da looked at these two people in shock. He knew how Li Jin treated these two people. He didn't expect that when these two people saw Li Jin, they would feel like they were seeing their own fathers. It really shattered Xu Da's heart. Three Views.
Is it true, as Li Jin said, that the Japanese nation is really all cheap?
