With the establishment of a two-level system of suppressing the Japanese on the land, the village, town, and county government have divided the defense areas at the four levels, and everyone performs their duties and guards their own territory, and at the same time, the informants of the Japanese are almost swept away, and some of them are also frightened by the brutal suppression of the government, and they do not dare to come forward to cooperate

At first, they wanted to attack the county seat, but found that the county seat was difficult to overcome, so they fought for more than an hour, and the officers and soldiers of the guard station were like flies that smelled blood, buzzing, and they had no choice but to leave dozens of corpses and retreat. After a few such cases, they turned to attack towns and villages, and found that the effect was similar to that of attacking county seats, and those people were more fearless of death because they were guarding their homes and relatives, and the terrain was more familiar than them, and the elusive ones were even more difficult to guard again, so they fought for less than an hour, and the officers and soldiers came again.

Many days later, they noticed that a wisp of black smoke rising from a certain hill might have something to do with them, and that the black smoke still had a law, and could simply express some meaning, warning, asking for help, indicating the purpose of their journey, and so on, from the time they came ashore, there were already fireworks to pass the news out, from the village, town, village, county, all the way to the local guardhouse, their people had not yet arrived, all the places had sharpened their swords and guns, raised their bows and arrows, and waited for them to come to the door.

If they can't bargain on the shore, they have to retreat to the sea, and if they go back, they have to lose some of their lives. When they returned to the sea and encountered the ships of the Ming navy, they would normally choose to avoid a frontal assault, but the Ming army's ship equipment changed, and many powerful ships were added, "The speed was actually not slower than their ships, so they inevitably had to lose some ships and personnel in order to escape pursuit."

From land to sea, they did not have a large-scale frontal battle with the Ming army" so there have been no too heavy casualties, the problem is that this continuous flesh-cutting impact, the losses are not concentrated, and their morale is crushed. They have always brought very little provisions, and it is customary for each person to bring only three days of food and water, and then they have to rob them.

And now they can't grab anything, there is no food and water, they can't survive at sea, and a large number of Japanese pirates have to return to Japan's Benlou "The coast of China is much quieter, and now I can only occasionally see some tenacious Japanese gangs." The Japanese retreated to the mainland, of course, not to settle for good, but to avoid the limelight.

The competition with the Central Plains Empire for hundreds of years has made them understand a fact: the rich are always unable to toss the poor "This big empire can't maintain this powerful means of suppressing the widows, the consumption is too great, the family business is large, the burden is heavy, and the Central Plains Empire can't make the coast a bottomless pit of gold absorption, until the entire empire collapses." So "they just have to wait and wait for the limelight to pass" and make a comeback.

Generally, the sea boats, two centipede speedboats, constitute a detachment of offshore patrols. The general on the Haicang ship in the middle is a hundred officials, named Qian Hao. According to the ancestor, the Qiantang Qian family at the end of the fifth dynasty is considered a descendant of the royal family, but I don't know if it's true or not. He is a soldier of the Taicang Guard, "With the sharp reduction of the number of Japanese pirates, the task of patrolling the coastal waters has been handed over to the officers and men of Taicang and Guanhaiwei.

Xia Xun must be punished for his mistakes, and he will be rewarded for his merits. If there is a punishment, only a military stick and a steel knife are needed, and the cost is very low. The money for material rewards comes from the seized ownerless dirt and the money "raised" from the coastal gentry magnates, which fully mobilizes the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Now no one is crying out for the sea patrol is tired, who gets the task of patrolling the sea is like picking up gold ingots as elated, the Japanese invaders came on the waves, originally to make a fortune, but instead it became an opportunity for them to make a fortune, now they sail on the sea, tirelessly pursue the Japanese every day, if the Japanese ships can shine, it is simply their lighthouse.

They patrol, using medium-sized clippers, sails with the wind, and rowing against the wind, once they encounter those lone boats, they catch up with them as if they had been beaten with blood, so some people have been promoted, some have made a fortune, some people have been promoted and made a fortune, and more soldiers hope that their luck will be better, but they soon find that those "cash cows" have almost escaped, and it is difficult to catch "one" at the end of the day.

Qian Hao stared at the bronze bell-like eyes and inspected for more than an hour, and did not see a turtle hair, he sighed in disappointment, told the general flag to continue the inspection, and turned around and walked to the cabin, wanting to go back to rest, suddenly, the soldier on the mast looking into the distance seemed to suddenly see a big girl who was stripped naked, and howled excitedly: "There is a boat!" There are boats! Lord 100 households, port left boat! ”

"Make a fortune!"

Qian Hao was overjoyed, and immediately admonished: "Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, meet it!" Send a flag, let the centipede speedboat outflank left and right, don't let them run! ”

Fei Fu stood at the bow of the ship, seeing that he was close to the waters off China, and a hanging heart finally let go slightly.

He was very worried about meeting those poor and crazy compatriots again, and when he came back this time, he specially borrowed a hundred samurai from His Excellency the General, of course, once these samurai landed, they would be strictly controlled, and they would not be able to take them straight to Jinling, but his purpose was only to ensure the safety of the sea voyage, and once they landed, there was no need to rely on these samurai.

Suddenly, the samurai in charge of watching the mast bucket shouted a few words, and the sailors and samurai on the ship immediately became nervous, and they ran around, some controlled the ship, some drew their weapons, and they looked like they were facing a great enemy, and they shouted in horror: "Amakasu God Bao! You won't run into those bastards again, will you? ”

After a cup of tea, Fat Fu exclaimed in surprise: "! It's the ship of the Great Ming Sailor!

I know their flags, hahaha, we're safe! Qian Baihu was very disappointed, and finally caught a fat fish, but the other party actually claimed that he was ordered by the king of Japan to meet His Majesty the emperor, and also claimed to be familiar with Yang Xu, the governor of the five provinces. Although the other party did not investigate, it had a temporary pass similar to a road guide jointly issued by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, which could not be faked.

However, as a businessman, the fat and rich eyes are very shrewd, and he also saw that the general of the Ming Dynasty was not in high spirits, so he took out some gifts from the goods he brought and gave them to Qian Hao and his soldiers. When he came back this time, Fei Fu carried a large chain of gold and silver and Japanese lacquerware, long knives and other specialties, and was ready to buy an episode to recover the losses of the last time, and take out some of them for just a drop in the bucket, and it was worth it in exchange for the diligent care of the sailor.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to know about the situation on the Ming side, and a ronin recommended to his people, a merchant who had just come from the Ming Dynasty, and brought him to meet him. The businessman's name was Dongfang Liang, and when he heard the name, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu liked it very much.

Japan has always prided itself on being the country of the rising sun. During the Sui Dynasty, they took the test to communicate with China, and at that time they sent envoys to Middle-earth, and the title of "the Son of Heaven in the Land of the Rising Sun, to the Son of Heaven in the Land of Sunset" was used in the national book, and at that time they looked at China on an equal footing with China. However, because of the battle at the mouth of the White River, the status of their equals was completely changed.

The cause of the war between the two countries was North Korea. At that time, the three kingdoms of Korea were fighting for hegemony, Baekje attacked Silla, Silla asked the Tang for help, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops, defeated Baekje, and captured the Baekje king Yici.

King Yiji's second son, Fukushin, collected the remnants and tried to restore the country and ask Japan for help, but at that time, Japan also regarded itself as a foreign country, and the reigning Empress Qiming promised Fukushin's request to send troops to aid Baekje, so it finally led to the Sino-Japanese War, which was the first war between China and Japan.

As a result, in the first battle of Baekgang Estuary, the Japanese warships were three times larger than the Tang army, but the whole army was wiped out, and Baekje was completely destroyed. According to the law, some women will have an obsessive and obsessive affection for the abuser after being forced, probably the Japanese have this factor in their genes, and since then, they have been madly obsessed with everything in China, politics, economy, culture, ............, everything, all of them, all of them have studied and imitated, and have always regarded themselves as students since the Tang and Song dynasties.

But in their bones, that kind of arrogance and arrogance has never disappeared, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ruled all of Japan, became the emperor of the emperor, and there is a kind of pride that belongs to him, Dongfang Liang's name, he felt very auspicious when he heard it, and he first had a good impression of this Ming man, and it was more pleasant to listen to his words.

When he heard that the Auxiliary Prince, who was highly regarded by the Chinese Emperor, had always been very interested in opening the sea for business, and that he was committed to fighting pirates, but he did not veto trade and exchange with Japan and was very much in favor of it, he finally became convinced of the sincerity of the other party. He consulted with several of his samurai and important ministers of the public family, and decided to accept the Ming country's request conditionally, so he was sent back again.

Dongfang Liang became a guest of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who promised him that once Sino-Japanese trade resumed, he would become the imperial merchant of Japan, enjoying many privileges that ordinary merchants did not have.

Dai Yubin originally just wanted him to probe Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's tone, but after getting the news, he immediately ordered him to abandon other tasks and go all out to manage his relationship in the Kitayama Temple.

"Thank you General Qian for your escort!"

On the dock, Fei Fu bowed deeply to Qian Hao: "Since His Excellency Fuguo Gong is in Hangzhou, I will visit him first, in the future, we will have the opportunity to communicate, please take care of it!" ” @
