The fleet cleaved the waves and sailed towards Japan. In the flagship conference room, the officers listened attentively, and while taking notes, someone asked:

"If the emperor says it doesn't count, then who has the final say?"

"It used to be the general's, but now the general doesn't count." Ma Yinglong replied.

The police officers were confused for a while, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, which had emphasized literature and light military force for a hundred years, it was difficult for people to understand how a military general could be so good.

Ma Yinglong said step by step: "It's almost the same if you understand the general as Dong Zhuo. But now that he has no strength, how can the military leaders of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still listen to him? So the whole of Japan is in chaos, and no one can say anything. ”

"That's it......" is analogous to the Three Kingdoms, and everyone understands.

"The military chiefs of Japan are called daimyos. At present, the most powerful daimyo is Oda Nobunaga, who is known as the 'Japanese Cao Cao', and there are also 'Kai Tigers', 'Echigo Dragons' and the like, but they are all far away from the Kyushu Island where we are fighting, so I won't start this time, and I'll send you the complete information when I get back. ”

After Ma Yinglong finished speaking, together with Wang Rulong, hung a picture of the power map of Kyushu Island on the wall, and then continued: "The three islands of Japan, Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. The island of Kyushu, or Kitakyushu to be precise, is the target of our crusade. ”

"The bad news is that the people of Kyushu are fierce and strong. The Matsuura Domain, which attacked us before, is not counted in Kyushu at all. At present, the three strongest families on Kyushu Island are the strongest Otomo family in Kyushu. The Ryuzoji family, which has established itself in western Kyushu, is entrenched in the Shimazu family in southern Kyushu. In addition, there are Maori families with roots in western Honshu, but they have already inserted their hands into Kitakyushu. These four families have strong strength, and the heads of the families are all scheming and strong, which is by no means comparable to those water thieves and robbers. ”

"The good news is that Kyushu is also a pot of porridge. In April of this year, the Otomo family and the Ryuzoji family got into a fight. Seeing that the destruction of the Ryuzoji family was imminent, the Mori family mobilized 40,000 troops to cross the sea from the Kanmon Strait and landed in Kyushu. ”

Ma Yinglong said and said with a smile: "The governor of the Maori family, Maori Yuan, and the governor of the Otomo family, Otomo Yoshizhen, are a pair of old enemies. Both are known for their resourcefulness. However, Maori Yuan is still superior in all aspects, and a few years ago he defeated Otomo Yoshijin and could only escape into the empty door, with the legal name 'Zonglin'. However, the Japanese monk is just like that, and the Otomo family still has the final say...... The same is true of the Matsuura family. ”

"In short, the biggest thing on Kyushu Island at the moment is that Mori Motomo and Otomo Sorin's duel are dueling. As for the Ryuzoji Temple and the Shimazu family, out of their own considerations, they will not bet rashly at this time, and there is a high probability that they will not make a move. Ma Yinglong added: "Of course, in the end, this is my personal judgment, the situation is changing rapidly, and no one can say how things will develop." ”

Zhao Gongzi on the side said in his heart, I can, I can. As a Japanese Sengoku gamer, Honkomi knows the fate of everyone. Of course, if you mix it in, it's hard to say what will change.

"Finally, let's talk about Hizen Province." Ma Yinglong changed to a map of Feiqian Country and said: "If you correspond to the Ming Dynasty, Kyushu Island is about the same size as our Qiongzhou Mansion." Therefore, Kyushu explores the topic of Otomo Sorin, who is a prefect. ”

"We have 10 prefectures in Qiongzhou Prefecture and nine countries on Kyushu Island, so Takanobu Matsuura, the Hizen guardian he appointed, is the Hizen County Magistrate. It's a pity that just like the prefect of Otomo Zonglin is not worthy of the name, he, the county magistrate, can only manage a little place in front of Xifei. Secretly, he has long been subdued by the 'Bear of Hizen' Ryuzoji Takanshin who is entrenched in Hizen. ”

Zhao Hao nodded secretly when he heard this, and all of them brought out by Qi Dashuai were indeed talents. This Ma Yinglong didn't see any ability, but he just looked at him steadily, and he got along with Wang Rulong, so he let the two of them work together. And because of Jinke's recommendation, he became the head of the military intelligence of the garrison area.

I didn't expect his ability to gather intelligence to be so strong, and there was basically no fallacy...... This is very difficult in overseas intelligence gathering.

And he also has a strong ability to explain, in simple terms, by analogy, this aspect is much better than Wang Rulong, who only knows how to blow his beard and stare at his eyes. Of course, Lao Wang's ability to lead troops to fight is also something that Jinke can't catch up......

The two of them are a match made in heaven.

"But this year, Otomo Sorin's crusade against Ryuzoji Takanobu can't wait to join the Otomo family's camp. It's a pity that the Maori family intervened, and the Otomo family had to negotiate peace with the Ryuzoji family. Now that the Otomo family and the Maori family are fighting hard, they have no time to look west, so it's strange that Ryuzoji doesn't take the opportunity to clean up their gang of wall grass. ”

"So the latest information is that the Matsuura family has completely withdrawn from the main island of Kyushu and returned to Hirado Island." Ma Yinglong pointed to the narrow strait between Hirado Island and Kyushu Island on the map and said: "But at first, Matsuura Takanobu was not very panicked, because the Matsuura family had the Mishima Naval Army, and the Duty Naval Army also obeyed their orders. ”

Ma Yinglong said, pointing to a string of large and small islands in the southwest of Hirado Island: "There are five peaks here, and Wang Zhi's self-proclaimed 'Five Peaks Owner' comes from here. After he established the puppet Song regime, he changed the name of Shika Island to Goto. Later, the pseudo-Song Dynasty disappeared, but the Japanese were used to it and did not change it back, so the Duty Naval Army was also called the Goto Naval Army. ”

He was as careful as a hair, knowing that Zhao Gongzi was a descendant of the late Song royal family, and he was bound to be very sensitive to the name of 'Song', so he called it 'Pseudo-Song'.

"But before the Matsuura family gave up Xifei, they suffered heavy losses after all, and they urgently needed to recover blood, so the Matsuura Zhenxin would attack us recklessly." Ma Yinglong continued: "In order to monopolize the spoils of war, he dispatched all the troops of the Matsuura family. As a result, the whole army was wiped out, the family governor dumped dung, and later our special fleet frequently swept their territory, and Matsuura Takanobu and the various families were helpless to encircle and suppress us, and the morale was already disheartened. ”

"Just last month, the clan of Tsushima invited merchants to come to Tamna as lobbyists, and sent 10,000 taels of silver and a few horses of satin, in order to draw a line with the Matsuura family so as not to harm the pond fish." Ma Yinglong said with a smile: "But the son said, how can there be such a cheap thing, so he took the money and things and drove the people away." ”

The officers chuckled, Childe is really wonderful. In fact, Childe has no choice, don't extort a little more, how can he afford to support them and boats?

"In addition, Hizen Province also has small daimyo at the level of village chiefs, such as the Omura clan, the Arima clan, and the Goto clan, or 'village heads'. Among them, the Omura clan is more special, and their head Omura Juntada is a Kirishitan daimyō. That is, he converted to the Catholic daimyo. As a result, he was protected by the Franco. Now the three Franc ships were entrusted by him to stay in Futianpu to prevent damage to the pond fish. ”

Then, he explained the strength of the above-mentioned navy and army one by one. Basically, in line with their respective identities, the prefect can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the county magistrate can mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses, and the township chief can support thousands of people, and the normal number is a few hundred.

~~

After Ma Yinglong finished the military intelligence report, it was Wang Rulong's turn to announce the combat mission.

"According to Childe's instructions, this 'punishment operation' has three major goals, first, to eliminate the Matsuura family and establish power. Second, the capture of the Franc machine man of the Galen ship, the master of the art to control the razor. Third, help the Tamna Chamber of Commerce monopolize trade with Japan! He said succinctly:

"At present, the most urgent thing is two, because the strength of the Francois in Macao is very limited, and at present, it is impossible for them to stay in Japan for a long time, and they will go back to protect their nest at any time. And once we lose this opportunity, we are afraid that we will not have another chance, and we will have to block them in the harbor - with our current strength, it is almost impossible to capture a Galen ship at sea. ”

Although the police officers were a little unconvinced when they heard this, who dared to talk nonsense with Wang Rulong? I can only listen obediently.

"So one and three can go to the back first, and the overriding task at the moment is to concentrate their forces and capture this Galen ship called 'Oriental Beauty'." As he spoke, he opened the folder in his hand and read out in a deep voice:

"The operation was named 'Operation Hunting' and was divided into three steps. First, we should quickly strike down on the Matsuura family's forces and show our strength, with the aim of making an example of the monkeys and making the Francis jealous of us. Second, before they retreated, they were quickly blocked in Futian Bay, so that they could catch turtles in the urn. ”

After a pause, he said: "As for the third, it depends on how the old turtle in the urn reacts, although we try to catch them alive, but if they dare to bite us, we will beat their **!" ”

To put it bluntly, if they dare to break through, they will open fire and hit them with boats, and they will engage in white-knuckle battles, in short, they can't let that Galen ship escape!

"Yes!" The officers all knew that Childe admired the Franc Machine's Galen ship, though they didn't think there was much difference between the two ships. But since Childe likes it, then grab it and dedicate it to Childe!

"As for the chicken." The wooden stick in Wang Rulong's hand accurately pointed to Jiangchuan City on the Five Islands Islands: "That's it!" ”

~~

At dawn on September 15, the rumbling sound of cannons woke the lord of Egawa Castle, Uhisa Junyao, from his dream.

"Alas, I thought the Ming Dynasty fleet was coming...... "In a daze, he thought he was having a nightmare again.

The city lord's wife on the side hesitated when she heard this: "It seems that there is really a rumbling sound?" ”

"Nani?!" Yu Jiu Chunyao listened to it, no, it was a clear roar, and there was a chaotic shout, he was completely sleepy, sat up, opened the door with his bare legs, and looked out, only to see the smoke billowing from the dock and the flames soaring to the sky!

This is, his third brother and the leader of the Goto Water Army, Ujiu Xuanya, stumbled in, and said in a panic with a face full of soot: "Oni-chan, the Ming and Ming Dynasty people have come over and destroyed all our ships!" ”

"It turned out that I wasn't dreaming...... "Uku Junyao sat on the ground with his ass, closed his eyes and muttered: "No, no, this is a dream, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!" ”
