Among the letters, the news was good at the beginning.
Since the beginning of summer, the navy led by Zheng He had been sailing up the ocean currents and across the sea, and soon arrived near the Japanese country.
But although he went very fast, Zheng He did not rush forward and went straight to the stone to see the silver mountain.
Or they could just land on the beach and head towards the hinterland of Japan, directly to find the Emperor of Japan.
Zheng He played it safe and chose to obtain information first.
First, build a port where ships can dock and supply fresh water in a weakly defended area of Japan.
It can also be used as an outpost for attacking land.
Then, after Zheng He found out the general defense of the Japanese navy, he went straight to the main force of the Japanese navy, hoping to directly defeat the main force of the Japanese navy by relying on the advantages of strong ships and sharp artillery!
Destroy the Japanese defense line at sea in one fell swoop!
From then on, the Ming Dynasty navy could do whatever it wanted in the waters surrounding the Japanese country.
The Japanese nation had no ability to resist at all.
The result was naturally good. The Ming Dynasty's navy relied on the advantages of strong ships and cannons to directly defeat the main force of the Japanese navy.
Only a piece of ruins was left.
This battle destroyed at least 80% of the Japanese navy's ships! If the Japanese wanted to organize a naval battle, they could only rely on a few ships and a group of small wooden boats to attack Zheng He's powerful ships and cannons.
It can be said at this time.
Zheng He almost had absolute advantage over the sea!
So at this time, Zheng He made a decisive order and divided his troops into three groups. The first group went straight to Shijian Yinshan. They must control Shijian Yinshan as quickly as possible.
The second route is to go directly to the famous large dock in Japan!
Mugu Shuimen Port is located on Zhujing Island!
In this way, we can control the only way for maritime trade to open up the Japanese market!
The third way is to send a small army through the base built on land, carrying the latest weapons and equipment, and prepare to quietly take down the emperor!
Until this time.
The Ming Navy led by Zheng He was still at an absolute advantage, roaming the seas freely and coming and going at will.
But it happened to be at this time... A raging sea breeze blew, setting off unprecedented waves. Even the treasure ships built by the Ming Dynasty could not completely withstand it.
suffered varying degrees of damage.
So we could only rest first and slowly repair the ship before taking action.
But things did not go as planned. The twenty-sixth year of Hongwu was the end of the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Japanese state. The Southern Dynasties handed over the three artifacts representing divine power, namely the eight-foot mirror, the eight-foot magatama and the Tiancongyun sword.
The shogun of the Northern Dynasties, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, had already established a general trend and gradually took control of the situation in Japan.
After learning that the Ming Dynasty's ships were damaged, they immediately summoned many famous people and came to besiege them.
A situation of encirclement formed.
Zheng He's ships were damaged and were unable to sail far, so they had to dock at the port.
Rely on the fortifications built previously for defense.
Although relying on the help of new weapons and artillery, as well as the heroic fighting of the Ming Navy, the Japanese army was repulsed time and time again.
It can't even get any closer on the sea.
But it can't change the fact that they are surrounded, there is a lack of supplies, and ammunition is consumed quickly.
This is the dilemma Zheng He faced.
So he immediately sent people back to the court to ask for help, and at the same time, he took the time to repair the ships. As long as the ships were repaired, after going to sea, the Japanese country, which had lost the main force of its navy, could only take what it asked for.
There is no way to fight back!
But for some unknown reason, Zheng He sent several groups of people back to the DPRK to ask for help.
But there was no news from them all.
It was not until today that the news came, and this was when residents along the coast of Songjiang Prefecture were rushing to sea. They saw a broken ship and went to check it out.
It was just found from the corpse of a Ming navy soldier.
Although the paper has been dried in the sun, if you smell it carefully, you can still smell a hint of sea smell.
After reading this extremely bad news.
Zhu Yunzhen's mood couldn't help but become heavy, and his face gradually became ugly.
Is this another kamikaze incident happening again?
Does this damn Japanese country really have some unspeakable force preventing it from destroying the country?
Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but slapped the table hard.
He broke the teacup in anger!
The thoughts in my mind were constantly changing, and I couldn't help but think of the time when Kublai Khan had conquered the Japanese country several times during the Yuan Dynasty, and even once made the Japanese country think that it would perish.
But it seems that God is helping the Japanese country... During the first Eastern Expedition of the Yuan Dynasty, only 15,000 men and 900 ships were sent.
But with so many people, they didn’t even fight much.
It was directly because of an inexplicable typhoon that made the Mongolians dizzy and were blown into the sea one after another.
Thirteen thousand five hundred people died on the spot! And the rest of the people were also made prisoners.
The Mongols were left disgraced.
But even if such a thing happened once, it happened a second time!
After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent out troops again, and this time the battle became larger and larger, with 40,000 Mongolian naval forces and an additional 100,000 Jiangnan naval forces!
Let’s attack Japan together!
But just after the armies joined forces and the navy was deployed on the sea, a strong wind suddenly blew from the sea.
Big hurricane! Overturned countless battleships!
This caused many warships to lose control and collide with each other, causing heavy losses!
More than 100,000 sailors were all killed in the sea.
The conquest of Japan once again became nonsense.
It was as if there really was a divine wind to help.
But not to mention that Zhu Yunzhen didn't think there was any divine wind or sea god in this world, even if there were divine wind or sea god.
The Japanese country was able to do a lot of things that were outrageous and resentful, and it didn't matter if they didn't provoke punishment from heaven, but a hurricane suddenly appeared.
Is there any heavenly principle?
Zhu Yunzhen never thought that such a thing would happen to him! Logically speaking, the quality of the Ming Dynasty treasure ship is completely enough to withstand the wind and waves at sea!
Unexpectedly... we encountered a huge wave.
The treasure ships collided with each other, and the hulls were damaged. Fortunately, the treasure ships were tall and heavy and were not overturned.
The Ming Navy could even hide in the cabin.
There were no injuries and the supplies were preserved, so that they could be safe and sound under the siege of the Japanese army.
But...the current situation is very critical!
If there is no more supplies and ammunition, the Ming Navy may really die tragically under the siege of the Japanese army!
And such a thing will never be allowed by Zhu Yunzhen!
The navy led by Zheng He was the only naval seed of the Ming Dynasty! It is the basis for Ming Dynasty to gallop all over the world in the future!
Zhu Yunxuan will never allow Zheng He and his navy to die overseas!
Even if Zheng He is to be punished, he must be allowed to return to the capital safely!
Zhu Yunzhen made a decision in his heart and was ready to summon the ministers.
Announced immediate reinforcements to Zheng He.
But as soon as he walked out of the imperial study room, Zhu Yunxi suddenly heard a burst of whispers.
It was the palace servants and slaves who were discussing something.
Zhu Yunzhen was followed by a tall and strong guard, who quietly came forward and listened carefully.
But they discovered that what these people were talking about was actually related to Zheng He!
"Hey, do you know? I heard that the Ming Dynasty's navy suffered a defeat at sea..."
"It's not that we were defeated! It was because the waves on the sea were too strong and the ship was destroyed."
"It's so scary... Hey, what do you think His Highness will do?"
"Hush! You little girl! You don't want to die! It's your turn to guess what His Highness will do?"
"Do your own thing!"
"But...why do you think His Highness has to think about going to sea?"
Zhu Yunzhen's face became more and more gloomy.
Obviously he just learned the news, why did the slaves in the palace also know about it? !
Unless... someone got the news earlier.
But he was not notified!
In other words, he, Zhu Yunzhen, the grand grandson, was the last to know the news!
Zhu Yunzhen is angry!
