From the end of Jiajing to the era of great pirates

On the Ming side, war is about to begin.

Xiong Tingbi became a Jinshi and regained Li Dan in the 23rd year of Wanli. Later, he visited the Japanese country and saw the powerful troops of the Toyotomi family.In the following 24 years, Zhu Jue went to the pirate world for more than half a year. When he came back, it was already close to the end of the year. In the first month of the 25th year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi once again made trouble, mobilized troops from all over the country, and invaded North Korea for the second time, setting off this The second half of the anti-Japanese war.

Therefore, when Zhu Jue came back with his junior brothers and sisters, what he saw was the scene of an impending war.

Zhu Jue's original intention was to train troops. After all, after the Zheng family navy was built, there were no battles. It was a peaceful navy.If you don't seize this opportunity to practice, you may have to use it to fight Shibazhi in the future.Whether or not Shibazhi will be attacked is unknown in itself, and Zhu Jue is also afraid of encountering the unexpected, so attacking the Japanese has become the best and most suitable choice.

Historically, Wanli urgently mobilized the Guangdong Navy, and it was not until the 26th year of Wanli that the war actually took place. The battles carried out were all actions carried out by the Japanese country to rescue Konishi Gyōchō.But in this life, Wanli was much better prepared. As soon as North Korea's request for help arrived, Wanli ordered Qi Jiguang to be revived, and ordered Xiong Tingbi, who had just returned to the capital, to immediately transfer to the Ministry of War, and then supervise the navy to participate in the war.

Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army from Ji Town to attack Liaodong and went overland via the Yalu River to fight the Japanese.Yang Gao, who was in charge of political affairs in Shandong, was still appointed as the censor of Qiandu, in charge of the military affairs of Korea, and Xing Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the minister, governor of the military affairs of Ji, Liao and Baoding, and in charge of the war against the Japanese.

I don’t know what Wanli considered, but he still transferred Liu Ting from Yunnan to participate in this battle, but even if he could participate, it would definitely be at the end of the year. After all, Liu Ting came with the navy in history, but now he has to go overland. Come here and travel through most of China.

The two little ones who came to the Ming Dynasty unexpectedly witnessed the battle between the old bear and the Japanese navy in the Tsushima Strait.

The Japanese invaded this time with a total of 14 people. With their shipping capabilities, of course they couldn't transport everything at once, but they had to transport everything as much as they could.Kato Kiyomasa was the pioneer, and together with Shimazu, he logged in in the first batch. Konishi Yukinaga was a direct descendant, and together with Kuroda Nagamasa and Nabeshima Naoshima, he was in the second batch. There were many Mouri Hidemoto soldiers, but they came slowly. It was late, so it was the third batch's turn, just in time for Lao Xiong to intercept.

This time, Lao Xiong's Zheng family navy used fifty Galen gunboats and more than ten flying shears mainly used for reconnaissance.Although there are not many Galen ships, they are all equipped with artillery. One ship is like a hill. When the hundreds of cannons on it fire in unison, it is really powerful to destroy the world.Not to mention the Japanese, even Zoro, who came to the world of pirates and had never seen the Demon-Slaying Order, was stunned. He had no idea that there were such ferocious warships in the world.

On the Japanese side, there were mainly 7200 naval forces led by Todo Takatora. There were thousands of ships, but most of them were troop carriers.Among them were more than a hundred turtle-shell boats, most of which were fishing boats.In short, it is an asymmetric war.

Therefore, when the two sides met in the Tsushima Strait, Todo Takatora immediately realized that something was wrong.While commanding his men to fight, the ship began to retreat.

When Xiong Tingbi opened fire and sank more than ten turtles in one round, Todo Takatora no longer cared about anything else and left the battlefield directly.

The Zheng family's actual combat drills turned into simple gunnery exercises. That is to say, there were too many ships on the opposite side, and they just annihilated all the opponent's navy. Except for Toudo Takatora, who escaped first, the others were Kato Yoshiaki, Wakisaka Anji, and Mr. Kurushima Michi. When all the navy generals were wiped out, the army's Hidemoto Mori also returned to the sea, leaving only a few thousand remaining soldiers to land.

In the later stages of the battle, the Ming army was engaged in various pursuits, especially the flying shears equipped with only one bow cannon, which also showed great power and killed more enemies than Galen.This thing ran so fast that when it faced the Japanese Xiaozao, it could kill the enemy by directly ramming into it. In the end, two ships were sunk, becoming the only loss of the Ming army in this naval battle.

This Tsushima sea battle was a slap in the face, hitting the monkey in the head and making it dizzy.When Xiong Tingbi stabilizes the coastal defense and further attacks Yinqi Island, the monkey will go crazy.

Historically, the Ming army was slow to respond. The navy did not participate in the war until the 26th year of Wanli. The few naval battles fought were fought when the monkeys died and the Japanese army retreated.The result was almost the same as now, but the monkey was already dead at that time, so naturally it didn't suffer so much stimulation.

Now, half of his army is waiting on Kyushu Island. In other words, the war has not yet started in full force. The naval army is gone first, and then he wants to land the fourth batch of troops from Chosou's tribe and the Hachisuka family. It was already a delusion, but the advance base, Yinqi Island, was gone.

How can a monkey with great ambitions endure it?

When the landing troops encountered Qi Jiajun, the excitement came one after another.

The second-half general in history was Ma Gui. Although he was also a fierce general, he was not comparable to the God of War.The Qi army fought against Mongolia in Jimen for ten years, and it was already stronger than when they fought against Japanese pirates on the southeastern coast. In recent years, Mongolia have not dared to go south to herd horses, and the soldiers have been too idle. Now that they have the opportunity to fight, they are facing another enemy. After returning to Lao Shuai, his morale was so high that he set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The Qi army crossed the Yalu River in one month, and then quickly moved south, killing Kuroda Nagamasa at Jishan. Then they advanced into Akutagawa, defeated Kato Kiyomasa, and surrounded him at Shimayama.Originally, Kato Kiyoshi relied on the follow-up reinforcements from Hidehiko Kobayakawa to escape, but this time no one came to save him.

Kobayakawa's men and horses are the second batch of offensive troops prepared by Monkey to attack the North. Now they can only sigh across the sea from Changsong's men.Although the Tsushima Strait is narrow, it cannot be crossed purely by manpower. Without the navy, Japan is nothing.

On the same day that Xiong Tingbi captured Yinqi Island, Qi Jiguang also captured Daoshan City and killed Monkey's number one general, Pioneer Kato.

The news was sent back to Japan by boat. The monkey vomited three liters of blood on the day he heard the news and chased his beloved general.The navy was destroyed and the Japanese army, which had no strength to fight anymore, was already dead. Since then, their dream of the mainland has been completely abandoned. The several regiment commanders who have already gone to the island can only be left to fend for themselves. If If we can hold on until the peace talks succeed, there may be a way to survive. If not, what else is there to say?The cash-strapped Tokugawa family just thought that they would be finished and accept the final results.

"Senior Brother, I feel that you are a bit too bullying." Zoro scratched his seaweed head and muttered.

"Do I have to send them some ships and cannons? They are lagging behind and haven't realized it yet. They take the initiative to start a war. They deserve to be beaten." Zhu Jue laughed when he heard this. "These are two countries fighting against each other. When fighting, if you are not strong, don’t have bad intentions. Of course, no one will bully you on purpose. If you want to change the situation, it is natural for you to get beaten."

Subsequently, Qi Jiguang advanced rapidly within a few days, annihilating Naoshima Naoshige at Huangshi Mountain first;

Annihilate Konishi Yukinaga's department in Kinshu;

Finally, the news that the Japanese leader Yoshihiro Shimazu was surrounded in Gongju and his troops were annihilated that day came from North Korea. If the Japanese wanted to negotiate peace again, it was time to save their territory.
