Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 170 The Plan to Conquer the Beautiful Continent 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

However, they knew that they knew that they were not far from Daming.

Hu Dahai and his men continued to sail forward.

They found some islands, although they were a little strange, but they could still see some traces of human activities on them.

Such as some dilapidated houses or dilapidated shipwrecks.

Hu Dahai led his men to inspect several islands.

After some speculation, they felt that they had come to the territory of the Wa people.

Because many traces on it are similar to the customs and habits of the Japanese people.

Sure enough, after continuing to sail for that distance, they encountered several Japanese fishing boats!

These broken and small fishing boats immediately scattered and fled in fright when they saw Hu Dahai's fleet.

It's just that these small fishing boats can't run faster than the sailing warships of the Ming Navy.

After catching some Japanese fishermen, Hu Dahai and the others were [-]% sure that they had come to the eastern waters of the Japanese country.

To be exact, the place where Hu Dahai and the others came was under the control of the Wa Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty.

After Hu Dahai led the fleet to continue sailing for another three days, he encountered the navy of the Wa Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty.

Because of the war between the north and the south, the people of Wa are very vigilant about the border defenses in various places, lest the Southern Dynasty of Wa, which has the support of Ming Dynasty, attack and sneak attack.

Therefore, after Hu Dahai and his Ming army fleet arrived, almost all the Northern Navy sailors of the Wa Kingdom were dispatched.

The shogunate general of the Northern Dynasty of Japan sent General Taro Kameda to command the battle with full authority, and led more than 300 large warships to intercept the warships of the Ming army on the coast.

Regarding the interception of these Japanese pirates, Hu Dahai had no intention of negotiating with them at all.

No one can stop the Ming soldiers from returning home!
Hu Dahai ordered his soldiers and generals to prepare for battle, and then sent a battle semaphore to the surrounding warships.

His son Hu Guan lived next to him and asked: "Father, the people of the Wa country are waiting for work at leisure. We have been drifting for several months, and we are exhausted. Do you want to talk to them and stop fighting if we can, so as to save us unnecessary casualties."

Hu Dahai seemed very disappointed with his son Hu Guan's words. He reprimanded him, "You really haven't improved at all! Have you forgotten what kind of treasures we have on board? If you talk to these pirates, And, if we go on this route again from now on, we'll just lose our lives!"

"It can be said that the Japanese pirates are out in force this time. We will use this opportunity to wipe them all out, and we will be able to pass through this route unimpeded in the future!"

Although the Daming navy traveled a long distance, everyone seemed very embarrassed and tired.

However, Hu Dahai and the others discovered a large number of gold mines on that mysterious continent, and this ship was loaded with several boats full of gold. Such a huge wealth also doomed the route from Daming to that new continent in the future. It has become extremely busy, and the Japanese pirates are stuck in the middle of this route, so it is natural to eliminate this potential threat as soon as possible.

Kameda Taro led the Japanese navy, with more than 200 warships as the main force, and more than 100 small boats cruising around to harass!

The Japanese pirates also wanted to wipe out all the seven warships of the Daming Navy on the opposite side.

Kameda Taro felt that the Japanese naval forces were numerous, and the Ming army naval forces on the opposite side would definitely send people to seek peace, or even surrender.

However, he never imagined that not only was the navy of the Ming army on the opposite side not afraid at all, but instead formed a strange formation and hoisted full sails.

The Ming army, who was at a disadvantage, seemed to want to attack itself first.

This made Taro Kameda furious. He gritted his teeth, stared at the Ming army in front of him with his triangular eyes, and cursed loudly: "Baga, the Ming country is arrogant, how dare you come here?" Take the initiative to attack, immediately send out a signal, all warships, surround them, and not let a Ming army escape!"

In the cognition of the Japanese pirate Kameda Taro, the larger the ship, the worse the operability. The flexibility of the Ming army's warships is definitely not as good as these small and medium-sized warships of the Japanese pirates.

As long as the Japanese pirates use their numbers and flexibility, they will definitely be able to eat up the seven battleships of the Ming army!

However, the ensuing battle made all the Japanese pirates dumbfounded.

With excellent maneuvering and sharp artillery, the Ming army smashed the Japanese navy to pieces in less than an hour. More than 100 Japanese warships turned into pieces of wood and floated on the sea!
After some pursuit and killing, most of the Japanese navy was wiped out, and only a few fish that slipped through the net fled the battlefield in flexible boats.

Hu Dahai ordered to stop the pursuit, and the few Japanese pirates who escaped were no longer a concern!

Hu Dahai knew very well that the entire Japanese navy was wiped out in this battle, and from then on, the Ming Navy sailed unimpeded in this sea area... no one would dare to harass them again.

Moreover, even the Japanese pirates who fled to land will inevitably face the follow-up encirclement and suppression of Ming Dynasty.

Hu Dahai knew clearly that if he wanted to go to that rich and vast continent in the future, he had to use the country of Wa as a transit point, so after Hu Dahai returned to Daming and told Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang about the new continent, the country of Wa would not be able to reason for continuing to exist.

Therefore, the elimination of the navy of the Wa Kingdom in this battle is very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty in the future to destroy the Wa Kingdom.

After Hu Dahai's fleet wiped out the Japanese navy, they continued to sail forward. After arriving at the territory of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese country, the Ming army stationed there immediately discovered them.

For more than a year, almost all the Ming army heard about the disappearance of the Heishuidu Protectorate Fleet in the storm.

Everyone thought that Hu Dahai and the others had already been buried in the belly of the fish, but they never thought that Hu Dahai and the others came back alive.

Hu Dahai and others in ragged clothes were resting at the Japanese Ming army station.

General Lan Yu, who conquered Japan, immediately sent someone to respond to Tianfu with the news. After all, Hu Dahai has gained a lot from drifting thousands of miles this time.

There are as many as 10 taels of gold on the seven big ships!
If it wasn't for carrying fresh water and food, Hu Dahai would probably be able to carry even more gold!
Moreover, Hu Dahai also told Lan Yu that not only is there a large amount of gold in that continent, but also the land is fertile and flat, and the pasture alone can grow as tall as a person!

In addition to these... There are also a large number of fat bison, each of which must weigh a thousand catties at the smallest.

"Brother Sapphire, you don't know, I eat bison meat every day, and I vomit every time I eat it!" Hu Dahai had a satisfied expression on his face.

If Lan Yu had been in the past, she would definitely have felt that Hu Dahai was bragging.

However, he had seen the warehouse on Hu Dahai's ship, which was full of dried beef, and he didn't lie at all.

"Brother Hu, you said that such a good place is full of uncivilized savages? Don't they have a tyrannical leader?"

Sapphire looked puzzled.

According to Sapphire's impression, even in such a backward place as Wa country.

The Wa people in the Northern Dynasties were also quite capable, and they were able to fight back and forth with the Southern Army of the Wa Kingdom supported by Daming.

"Hey, Brother Sapphire, you don't know, those savages use sticks and stones as weapons, even the reincarnation of King Chu can't defeat us Ming soldiers!"

Nanjing, Yingtianfu.

The fact that Lanzhou was attacked by the Wala people shocked the entire northwest region, but fortunately Xu Da stabilized the situation so that the Wala people did not get any advantage.

However, the Oirats blocked the commercial route to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Regions, and also made the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, a Ming vassal state, fall into a passive situation.

Under the leadership of Liberation Buhua, the Oirats began to turn from Lanzhou to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Xu Da was also unable to give an answer to the successive envoys from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate asking for help, so he could only rush to Yingtian to ask for instructions.

"This Eastern Chagatai Khanate was originally Mongols, and now the Oirats are also Mongols. It's good for them to bite dogs. What can we save!"

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang obviously planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

However, Zhu Han has a different suggestion.

"Brother, the Mongols are not monolithic. These forces have enmity with each other, which can be used by us, so we can't give up the Eastern Chagatai Khanate as a vassal state!" Zhu Han said.

"However, it is a long way from Lanzhou to the Western Regions. If we send troops to take it, we will not be familiar with the place. I don't know how long it will take to reach the territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate!" Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, and continued: "Brother, we are going to save the life of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but there is no need to send troops there."

"Don't send reinforcements? What should we do?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled.

"When the whole Oirat army is dispatched, the rear must be empty. We asked Xu Da to send troops from Lanzhou to directly attack the Oirat rear. Are we afraid that the Oirats will not withdraw their troops?" Zhu Han said confidently.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard that, "Haha, good idea, isn't this some kind of strategy, oh, yes, it's to surround Wei and save Zhao!"

"That's right, it was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. After a year of rest, our Ming soldiers are already strong and strong. We can let them attack in two ways. One way is to attack Yuerhai from Beiping. I heard that Wang Baobao's main force is there. The other way Let’s attack from Lanzhou, attack the territory of the Wala people, and completely knock down the prestige of the Mongols on the grassland!”

Zhu Han's offensive strategy can be described as very bold.

It is very difficult to find the enemy's main force on the vast grassland.

If it was the previous Central Plains Dynasty, it would be impossible to find the enemy's main force so easily.

However, under Zhu Han's creation, today's Daming has far surpassed the previous dynasties. Not only is its military strength strong, but also the surrounding Jurchen, Goryeo, Wanggu people and other vassal armies can work for Daming. Ming soldiers took too high a risk.

One of the important reasons is because Daming is rich enough.

Give these servants enough rewards and salaries to make them work willingly.

"In the northern parallel capital, we recruited the Jurchens and Koreans to lead the battle. When the Mongols were exposed, our Ming soldiers personally went into battle to destroy the enemy."

"In Lanzhou Xingdusi, Wanggu people are used. They have been nomadic on the grassland for generations. They are naturally very clear about the behavior and habits of the Wala people. They will definitely help Xu Da find the rear lair of the Wala people!"

For Zhu Han's suggestion, elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang very much agrees.

Although there is still Chen Youliang occupying the southwest area, the traffic there is blocked, and the products are not as good as the Central Plains, so it will not hurt the foundation of Ming Dynasty at all.

Only the Mongols are still Ming's strong enemies, and they must be eradicated.

After some discussion, the Zhu Han brothers basically settled on a plan to attack the Mongolian grassland.

At this time, the guard eunuch outside the door suddenly came in and knelt down to report.

"Report to Your Majesty, Lan Yu sent someone to report, and Hu Dahai, the Protector of the Black Water Capital, has returned to the voyage!"

Hearing this news, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were stunned.

"what?"

"Can you say that again?"

Both of them spoke in unison!
You know, the storm at sea last year made Hu Dahai's ten warships disappear. Everyone thought that they must be in bad luck, and they had already been buried in the belly of the fish.

This is the most painful loss since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Han also blamed himself for this several times. If he could have reminded Hu Dahai of the dangerous situation of 'Jinghai' earlier, Daming would not have suffered such a loss.

After confirming that the news was correct, both Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were overjoyed.

"Great! This Hu Dahai is really a lucky star!" Zhu Yuanzhang was already smiling from ear to ear.

After seeing the joint memorial of Lan Yu and Hu Dahai, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were even more pleasantly surprised.

"Hu Dahai said that they drifted to a continent where not only gold is everywhere, but also the place is full of uncivilized savages, fertile land and strong bison everywhere?" When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he looked at the land in shock. Zhu Han.

Zhu Han knew that almost all the things he told his brother about the American continent were fulfilled in Hu Dahai's memorial!

Even Zhu Han couldn't believe it.

"How did this Hu Dahai drift from the outer northeast to the New World?" Zhu Han was speechless as he watched the memorial.

In the era of great voyages, Magellan crossed the Pacific Ocean, but he experienced a narrow escape. Almost half of the ships and sailors died during the voyage.

But what Hu Dahai said in his memorial is that he hardly lost too many people, only some ships were damaged.

This made Zhu Han wonder for a while whether the place Hu Dahai went to was the New World of America.

However, the description in Hu Dahai's memorial is similar to that of America.

Hu Dahai had to ask Hu Dahai for all doubts.

"Immediately issue an imperial decree to let Hu Dahai lead his subordinates to come to Yingtian Mansion immediately, and we must listen to his experience face to face!" Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled.

The imperial decree from Yingtian Mansion soon reached Hu Dahai's hands.

Hu Dahai didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately set off from Wa Kingdom to Yingtian Mansion.

After more than ten days of sailing, Hu Dahai and others finally returned to Yingtian Mansion.

Thousands of Ming navy troops have drifted in foreign lands for more than a year, and now seeing the walls of the Great Ming capital, each one of them is filled with emotion and weeps bitterly.

Hu Dahai was summoned into the palace overnight.

In the huge palace, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were sitting there.

All the maids, eunuchs and guards were arranged outside.

Because, this match between the monarch and his ministers is a top secret!
After a brief inquiry, Zhu Yuanzhang asked first.

"Hu Dahai, how big is the place you mentioned?"

Hu Dahai quickly said: "Your Majesty, it's very big, it can be said to be very big. The general has asked the local savages. Even if he chases the buffalo for a month, he can't go to the end!"

Another herd of buffalo, another vast field.

Zhu Han was basically sure that it was the New World of America.
