Ryukyu Island, Naha Port. Boxes of gunpowder bombs were carried out from the warehouse and hung on the rope hooks on the outside of the treasure ship. After a dedicated person checked to make sure they were firm, they waved the flag, and the sergeants on the treasure ship dragged the ropes, and the boxes of gunpowder bombs rose steadily.
The long wooden box hit the cowhide on the outside of the treasure ship from time to time, without making much sound.
The treasure ship is too high. If you want to lay planks like the Dafu ship, it is impossible for the sergeant to carry the gunpowder box aboard. The only way is to hoist the supplies.
Pang Huan sat cross-legged on the stone and looked at the sea in the distance, with worry in his eyes. Xiong Wucheng picked up a pebble and threw it on the sea. Seeing that he only hit seven or eight, he said to Pang Huan depressedly: "After all, I am getting old. I could hit more than thirty back then." Pang Huan glanced. He glanced at Xiong Wucheng and said in a low voice: "You said that when we all leave the capital and only Tang Buping and Huo Lin are left, can they manage the security bureau well? Huo Linshan analyzed that he lacks command experience and is more like a counselor. Let him be The command is inappropriate. Tang Buping is just a fool. A good fighter may not be able to see through conspiracies." Xiong Wucheng stepped on a stone and stood looking at the sea: "You don't need to worry about this. Don't forget, the Security Bureau We are not the only ones here, and the security bureau is not the only one around the emperor." Pang Huan nodded, and when he saw Xu An approaching, he stood up and went to greet him.
Xu An said solemnly: "Sail out in two hours." Pang Huan asked: "Have the direction and objectives of the battle been determined?" Xu An nodded solemnly: "According to the emperor's decree, Zheng He, Yang Rong, Luo Guanying, Zhu They all agreed to encroach step by step. The Donghai Navy occupied the Kyushu Island protectors, including Tsushima Island, Iki Island and other places, and then blocked the Kanmon Strait and moved eastward to attack Nagato, Shufang and other places. The Southeast Navy then Mainly attack Tosa, Iyo, Awa and other protectors of the country, and then attack Kii, Yamato and other places." Pang Huan thought about it in his mind, frowning: "If the Southeast Navy doesn't directly enter Sakai Port, will it threaten Kyoto?" Xu An shook his head. Shaking his head: "The Emperor hopes that Ashikaga Yoshimochi can escape to the northeast."
"Northeast?" Pang Huan took a deep breath, and Xiong Wucheng suddenly realized. Xu An knew clearly that the emperor was still the same emperor. When the overall situation was concerned, he would never be soft or show mercy.
When plotting to conquer the Ryukyu Island, the three kingdoms of Zhongshan, Shannan, and Shanbei were suddenly wiped out. In the end, this became the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now when dealing with the three Japanese islands, the emperor still wants them all!
You know, besides the three islands of Japan, there is another island. Letting Ashikaga Yoshimochi escape to the northeast means letting Ashikaga Yoshimochi run to the Ezo region.
Considering the strength and number of troops of the Ainu, they would probably face a disaster against the main force of the shogunate.
After this battle, the three islands and the four islands will no longer exist.
"In this case, Wang Sui, Xue Geng and others will suffer." Pang Huan smiled. Xu An shrugged: "It's all for the imperial court. They deserve to suffer a little. Now that I think about it, they should have received the news." Ezo, Matsumae.
Wang Sui looked at the sergeant who reported the news, took the document and read it carefully, and said to Xue Geng, Andeng Chuan, Ando Gong and others who looked expectantly: "The Donghai Navy has followed the emperor's order and sent troops first. The Southeast Navy will It's time for us to go on an expedition." Andokawa stood up and took a few steps excitedly: "After generations of enmity, we finally have the opportunity to take revenge! This time, we Ainu will regain the lost land and eliminate war forever. Let the Ainu people and future generations live peacefully among these mountains and rivers." Wang Sui smiled and took out a map: "According to the plan, the Ainu people will take the first step with the support of the Ming army. Occupy the three areas of Mutsu, Rikugo, and Hago. After completing the combat objectives, enter Uzen, Rikuzen, and Echigo to fight. This war will be a life and death battle for the Ainu people, and a battle for the survival of your tribe. !”
"My suggestion is to arm all Ainu men between the ages of sixteen and fifty for the final war! Only in this way can you grab more land! Ando River, Ando Yum, you You must know that the land that has been conquered at the cost of blood will be the foundation of your ethnic group's future. Ming Dynasty promises that it will never take back your land! Even if the brave Ainu warriors reach Kyoto first, Kyoto will also It's yours!" Ando Chuan became excited and looked at Ando Yum.
Ando Yum nodded repeatedly. After solving the surrender faction, the two of them had de facto controlled the entire Ainu ethnic group!
Coupled with the help, training, and weapons and equipment provided by the Ming army, the Ainu tribe has become stronger! Whether it is out of awareness of their own strength, desire for land, or revenge for the past suffering, Ando Yum and Ando Kawa have made up their minds to go to war and seize more territory at all costs!
Ando Chuan looked at Ando: "Give me the order, let all the men between the ages of sixteen and fifty gather together. We must fight back, seize the land we lost, eliminate the traitors of the Ainu people, and eliminate those with Ainu stains on their hands." Yamato people with the blood of the Inu people!" Ando received the order solemnly.
Wang Sui discussed with Ando Chuan and Ando Gong and decided to cross the sea and fight in two days. Looking at the Ando family leaving, Xue Geng, who had been silent, picked up Zheng He's documents and looked at Wang Sui: "You don't seem to have told them the most important content." Wang Sui chuckled and spoke with a cold look. : "What's the benefit of telling them? They are all simple people. They cannot accept overly complicated conspiracies and conspiracies, and they cannot understand the sacrifices in the overall situation." Xue Geng nodded helplessly.
Indeed, the people here have little wisdom and lack of knowledge and understanding of the world. The biggest crisis they face is usually dealing with a few beasts.
Beasts can only bring strength and fighting skills to the Ainu, but not wisdom. Andeng Chuan was considered a smart man, but his level was far inferior to that of Da Ming Wufu, let alone a fox of Wang Sui's level.
Xue Geng looked solemn: "In this way, except for the old and the weak, the Ainu will take all men to fight. If they all die, then the Ainu..." Wang Sui put away the documents and said lightly Sentence: "At least, the Ainu people will not become extinct." Two days later, Xue Geng and Wang Sui personally led a thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and Ando Chuan and Ando Gong led 8,000 Ainu people, combined with 9,000 soldiers, to begin crossing the sea. Combat.
The tool to support the sea-crossing operation was a Ming Dynasty fortune ship and hundreds of small wooden boats.
Andeng Chuan, Wang Sui and others naturally boarded the Dafu Ship to pioneer the way, and the others could only row out later.
Hundreds of teams compete for the lead and take the lead bravely. The Tsugaru Strait connects the Ezo region with the Mutsu and other protectorates under the shogunate. The narrowest point is less than 40 miles. The coastline here is winding and has many capes and harbors.
Although we go south from the Ezo area to Mutsu, the Tsugaru Strait runs east-west. Affected by the ocean currents in the direction of Tsushima Island, we have a smooth drifting feeling when we go south. It does not consume much energy, but the direction is slightly off. .
Mutsu, Noheji. The person stationed here is Misugi under the Mutsu Protectorate. He has 300 people under his command, which can be regarded as a powerful force.
Of course, relatively speaking. Sanshan is short in stature and has dark skin. He always carries a long bow and a quiver on his back. He will scold his subordinates who are lazy when he sees them.
Dalong cursed, walked to the high slope, and looked at the sea. At some point, fog rose from the sea, making it difficult to see very far.
Misugi shouted at the top of his lungs: "Cheer up, everyone, the Ezo people are fucking crazy. They actually killed our people last time and sent 800 people to deal with them, but they only ran back." Two hundred people, each one said that they are evil spirits and not easy to mess with, and they all glared at them, but we can't let them land from here!" Dalong secretly cursed idiots.
I heard that after eight hundred people arrived in the north, they swaggered into Lake Toya and asked for Andogawa's head by name. However, they were severely beaten. It was considered good to get two hundred back.
Since you want to hit Ando Kawa's head, then kill the Ainu directly, cut off Ando Kawa's head, bring it back, run over there and discuss it, what's the use of threatening?
Dealing with the Ainu should be like dealing with dogs. Only after breaking their legs will they growl and not dare to bite.
Additionally, dogs will only stay on their territory. The Ainu had already paid a bloody price and fled to the north. How could they dare to come back here again? Could they be seeking death?
Sanshan looked at his lazy men, rubbed his neck and shouted: "Cheer up!" Everyone responded feebly.
Staying here is meaningless, and looking at the sea every day is even more boring. Misugi was a little helpless. Everyone concluded that the Ainu, a group of weak lambs who had been slaughtered and driven out, would never come back. Their courage had long been gone, let alone seeking death.
Everyone here is not guarding the strait, but is trapped in a prison. It's like a big ridge, feeling boring all day long, and can't go to sea, and can't leave. A group of people have been here for ten years, and they have nothing to talk about.
Misugi held the long bow and walked to the coast. He turned around and shouted to everyone: "The Ainu dare to kill Mutsu's envoys and Mutsu's sergeants. This in itself shows that they are no longer lambs. There is no telling when they will be killed." Will attack us! Now that Mutsu has deployed troops to support the shogunate's operations, we must..."
"Then, tell us about the shogunate's northern expedition to Korea."
"Yes, I heard that Busan Port has been captured and the North Korean navy fled without a fight. What happened next?" the sergeants opened their mouths one by one.
Dalong shouted toward the sea: "Later, Korea was gone, and so was the Ming Dynasty! In this case, do you still need to ask?" In the thick fog, a tall shadow loomed.
Da Long squinted his eyes and stared at the vast white mist. He stretched out his hand with some confusion, pointed at the mist and shouted: "There seems to be something there." After hearing this, everyone ran to the beach one after another.
A huge tiger head tore through the white mist and burst out of the waves. The sound of the waves was like a roaring tiger!
