Night on Okojima Island [Down, Muskets and Cannons (1)]

After listening to Lu Dongjiang's affirmative voice, everyone was still looking forward to the next step of Scholar Wang Yangming......

Wang Yangming seemed to see the expectation in everyone's eyes, and immediately followed up with his words: "Okay then! Since you are looking forward to it so much, I won't say much else about Yangming, in short, after careful discussion between Yangming and my Dongjiang Yafu, General Li Qingchun, Wu Xin Taifu and other adults, we have decided that our army will temporarily live here for the time being." After a few days of Dajiao Island, and then the whole army made a feint in the direction of Yizhou Island to confuse the enemy, and after a random detour, we took the whole army by surprise and went to the current Shangchuan Island on this map! (At this time, Wang Yangming's palm also hit the location of Shangchuan Island on that map!)"

Wang Yangming looked around at everyone, paused for a moment, and then continued: "On this Shangchuan Island, there is now the 'Jade Emperor and the Sea Bandit Zhang Qianren', with his 'civil and military officials' and more than 4,000 bandit minions, where they call themselves 'Tianxian Holy Kingdom'. This habitual bandit Zhang Qianren, because ten years ago, successfully robbed Jia Rudao who wanted to go north by sea to bribe ten boats of gold and silver from the emperor of the Yuan Kingdom, and with his capital to "establish a country", so now the small island where the gang of bandits is entrenched, they arrogantly call themselves the 'country of immortals', and the bandit leader Zhang Qianren also set up himself for a 'Jade Emperor' to ......"......

After Wang Yang had finished introducing the situation of the bandits on Baisha Island (Shangchuan Island) to everyone, the troublesome Teng Jichang spoke again: "Lord Wang! Your Excellency just now you have changed the 'Da Shock Island' to 'Da Xiang Island', and there is no objection to this, but why did you change the 'Baisha Island' and 'Half Moon Island' on this map to 'Shangchuan Island' and 'Xiachuan Island' respectively? Ji Chang Bucai, now I would like to listen to your high opinion again!!"

"Oh?? Brother Ji Chang is complaining that I shouldn't have changed the names of these two islands, right? Hmph! I think that 'Baisha Island' and 'Half Moon Island' are the common names given to these two islands by the local fishermen, but it is a pity that some fishermen call these two islands 'Goldfish Island' and 'Silver Beach Island', and some fishermen simply call these two islands 'Fairy Country' and 'Yellow Heavenly King'??! Now that I am in accordance with the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty, I have officially named these two islands, can there be a mistake in this??" Wang Yangming saw that Teng Ji had been entangled in this matter, so he asked him angrily.

The pedantic Teng scholar, seeing that Commander-in-Chief Wang finally seemed to be angry, hurriedly replied softly: "Ah! So that's the case! It seems that it is really Ji Chang and me, who have misunderstood Lord Wang's hard work here! Ji Chang should die! Ji Chang is guilty! I hope Lord Wang will forgive his sins!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Elder Brother Ji Chang is thoughtful, thinks about the military and people of the imperial court, and occasionally raises a little objection, which is also a very normal thing! However, now that Yangming has explained to you the necessity of the 'two islands to change their names', there can be no more presumptuous discussions in the future, do you know, Elder Brother Ji Chang??" Wang Yangming replied to Teng Ji Chang.

Ji Chang is willing to make up for it, make up for it! I don't dare to question your wise decision again, Lord Wang! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!" Teng Ji often responded to Wang Yangming's way with a weak heart.

After suppressing Teng Jichang's self-criticism, Wang Yangming continued to speak to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that our nearly 400 ships have successfully entrenched themselves on this Dajiao Island! Please rest assured, this place is no better than the closed cliff gate sea, this island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Yuan bandit Zhang Hongfan wants to come to besiege and kill us again, if he does not have a naval force of more than two or three hundred thousand people, then he is pure daydreaming and wishful thinking! However, everyone also knows, how many troops does that bandit Hongfan have at this time? Yes! He and all the troops of the deputy general Li Heng are now less than 40,000 people, and the warships are only about 200, and this slut is still busy dealing with prisoners of war and settling down the captured people in the past few days, that is, he is always guarding against our group of 'sea bandits', and he may kill the generals back at any time, so, in my estimation, this Lord Zhang may be pulling the skin with the Mongolian master on his shore at this time! As the old saying goes: God-given opportunities, not granting them is against heaven. If you think about it again, Zhang Hongfan's men at this time were more than 40,000 men, and more than 200,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians had been captured, and all of these hundreds of thousands of people would have to eat! Then the enemy would definitely send food and military supplies from this sea to the Yashan Sea from this sea in the next two days. It's a sigh that the last soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Kingdom on our island are also going to eat! That being the case, let's talk about what our current priority is, right?"

The high-ranking civil and military officials were impressed by Wang Yangming's accurate analysis, and even bravely responded in unison: "Okay! Okay! Scholar Wang, you can give the order! It seems that we should first go and get enough food and supplies back......
