Chapter 165: The Disaster of the Ming Ship

"Lower the flag!" With Li Jie's order, hundreds of warships also lowered the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and in front of them, there is a vast land, there is no end in sight, people who don't know may think that this is a continent, in fact, this is the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom.

"Full speed ahead, all ships on the water will be sunk at once!" Li Jie commanded again, Fang Guan also immediately agreed, and immediately went down to prepare, while Li Jie held the side of the boat and looked at Kyushu Island in the distance, and his heart was also quite excited.

Kyushu was originally the ancient name of the Central Plains, but the Wa Kingdom didn't know what their intentions were, and they even called an island Kyushu, although they explained that there were nine order countries on the island, but it still made Li Jie feel disgusted.

"When the entire island of Kyushu is conquered, the name of this place must be changed!" Li Xiuguang said to himself, maybe he has been with Lao Zhu for a long time, and his personality has been affected unconsciously, and he has become quite domineering in some things.

"Li Banyu, I heard that you are going back after this trip?" At this moment, someone from behind suddenly stepped forward and asked.

Li Jie turned around, only to see Zhang Dingbian walking over in armor, after the baptism of war, Zhang Dingbian seems to have completely recovered the demeanor of the iron-blooded general, the whole person stood there without anger and self-authority, and there was no longer the feeling of kindness and kindness before.

"Yes, I have done everything I can, and the next road is up to you!" Li Jie nodded with a light smile.

Hearing Li Jie's words, Zhang Dingbian also showed a reluctant expression, they were able to get to this point, thanks to Li Jie's guidance, he knew that Li Jie was selfish, and he might even be using them, but Zhang Dingbian and the others were also willing, because this was the path they had chosen, at least now they could take their fate into their own hands.

"General Zhang, the front is the Hizen country of Kyushu Island, the current guardian name is Imagawa Ryitshi, this person is also the Kyushu exploration topic appointed by the Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, mainly responsible for suppressing the Southern Dynasty forces on Kyushu Island, and now great progress has been made, the Southern Dynasties are in general trend, and the Northern Dynasties are likely to unify Kyushu Island, and Hizen is the base camp of Imagawa Ryōjun, I wonder if the general can have the confidence to break through here?" Li Jie felt that the atmosphere was a little sad, so he changed the topic.

Hizen is second only to Tsushima Island of the Japanese Invaders, or to Tsushima Island, most of the Wai Kou are from the Hizen Kingdom, when the Ming Dynasty had sent envoys here, asking the Prince Huailiang, who was in control of the place at that time, to restrain the Waiko, as a result, the other party actually detained the Ming envoys, and killed five people, angry Lao Zhu almost wanted to send troops to attack the Wako.

But now that Prince Huailiang is dead, Hizen Province has fallen into the hands of the Northern Dynasty, Imagawa Ryōjun is one of the powerful ministers of the Northern Dynasty, and now it has occupied most of Kyushu Island, and there were originally Ouchi clans, Otomo clans and Shaoji clans on the island, but now except for the Shaoji clan who are still loyal to the Southern Dynasty, the other two have taken refuge in the Northern Dynasty.

"Li Banyu, don't worry, I have already figured out the situation in Kyushu, Hizen Country is located here, it is close to Tsushima Island, and it is the political and economic center of the island, as long as you lay here, you can deter the Japanese people on the island, and the reinforcements in our rear are also about to arrive, so you don't have to worry about the Japanese counterattack!" Zhang Dingbian smiled again, he had already figured out the reality of the Japanese people, so he also had absolute confidence in this attack on Kyushu Island.

Li Jie also nodded when he heard this, although the whole plan was designed by him, but in the implementation of some details, he still needs others to do, such as the matter of Goryeo, that is, Jiang Zhen and Zhu Di helped him fill in the gaps, and now he does not need to interfere in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, after all, such things as wars, a hundred of them tied together are not as good as Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng.

As he spoke, Li Jie's fleet finally came to the coast of Hizen Country, and some small fishing and transportation boats were all stunned when they saw this huge fleet, and they even forgot to escape.

For these people, Li Jie didn't have any mercy, and directly ordered the warship to crash over, before he asked people to lower the banner of the Ming Dynasty, which was to imply to everyone, now they are no longer the navy of the Ming Dynasty, but a pirate similar to the Japanese Kou, but the target has changed from the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese State.

Hizen Country was originally one of the base camps of the Japanese Invaders, and they also made a windfall here by relying on the looting of the Japanese Invaders, and belonged to one of the richest areas of Kyushu Island, so they also raised a large naval army here, but they did not have any preparations in advance, and when they found the navy of the Ming Dynasty, they hurriedly went to sea to meet the enemy.

However, the navy is a technical branch, and the gap in equipment is not at all made up by individual bravery, these Japanese boats facing the Ming warship, it is like a three-year-old child facing an adult strong man, there is no power to fight back, not to mention that the Ming warship is also equipped with artillery, bed crossbows and other long-range weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current navy of the Ming Dynasty is almost invincible, even if it is Europe, the current navy will only surpass the Ming Dynasty after a hundred years, not to mention the small Wa Kingdom, so Fang Guan's hundreds of warships came to the Wa Kingdom, as long as the supplies can keep up, he can completely crush the entire Japanese army.

In just half a day, the Japanese naval army that met the enemy was completely disappeared, and then Fang Guan ordered the naval army to line up, and the artillery took turns to bombard the port, and the Japanese army that had already arrived at the port was blown up.

Li Jie saw that Zhang Dingbian and the others had already killed the Japanese army on the shore and killed the island, so he ordered again: "Go north along the coast and destroy all the ports!" ”

"Yes!" Fang Guan also agreed again without hesitation, he knew that Li Jie was going to establish his authority, which was a warning to the Wa State, and it was also to disperse some pressure for Zhang Dingbian and them, after all, the port by the sea was destroyed, and it was probably difficult for many forces on the island to gather together to deal with Zhang Dingbian and them.

Hundreds of warships went all the way north, and the ports along the coast were destroyed by them, and for a time the entire coast of Kyushu Island also fell into a sea of fire, although Li Jie let people lower their flags, but knowledgeable people must be able to guess their origins, after all, only Daming has such strength.

However, Li Jie is not worried about the consequences of doing so, even if the Japanese people complain to Daming afterwards, as long as he bites to death and does not admit it, anyway, there is no evidence in the Japanese country, not to mention that there is Lao Zhu behind him to support him, as the so-called husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, since he knows that the Japanese state has a silver mine, the entire Japanese country has been regarded by Lao Zhu as a bag.

In the end, Li Jie's fleet went all the way to the Kanmon Strait, which is the choke point between Kyushu and Honshu Island, and has always been a battleground for soldiers, and now it is under the control of the Ouchi clan, and there are ports on both sides of the strait, and there is an endless stream of ships, which can be said to be the busiest sea passage in the Japanese country.

However, when Li Jie's fleet arrived here, all the ships on the sea were sunk, and the ports on both sides of the strait were also burned, and when the current head of the Ouchi clan, Yoshihiro Ouchi, arrived, he only saw the scorched earth on both sides of the river, and the fleet had already left, which made Yoshihiro Ouchi, a famous general, also scream angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

This day can be said to be the darkest day of Kyushu Island, the local Japanese people also finally realized the fear of the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty, because some people recognized that the murderous ship was the ship of the Ming Dynasty, so some people later called this day "Ming Boat Disaster", and this day also opened a new prelude to Kyushu Island.

After destroying the Guanmen Strait, Li Jie ordered the fleet to sail back, when they rushed to the open sea of Dazaifu, Zhang Dingbian had also ended the war, although Dazaifu is the largest city on Kyushu Island, but it is still only an inconspicuous city in Daming, Zhang Dingbian their rich siege experience, so they quickly broke through Dazaifu, and captured Imagawa Ryjun alive who had no time to escape in the city.

Of course, this time Zhang Dingbian and they also took advantage of the raid, and the Japanese people on the island had no time to react, so they occupied Dazaifu, but then Zhang Dingbian and they will definitely face a fierce counterattack by the Japanese people, these depend on Zhang Dingbian and themselves, and Li Jie can only let people transport the materials from the rear, so that they can prepare to defend the city.

After doing this, Li Jie finally ordered Fang Guan's fleet to return to Tsushima Island, but he only rested on Tsushima Island for one night, and immediately took a boat to prepare for the return voyage the next day.

Thinking of going back to Nanjing, Li Jie was also a little helpless, because Lao Zhu asked him to go back this time, the reason was to move the capital, Lao Zhu was ready to let Zhu Biao personally inspect Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places to see which city in the north was more suitable as the capital.

That is to say, Li Jie may have just returned to Nanjing, and he was going to go on patrol with Zhu Biao to the north, and he didn't even have time to rest, and Li Jie was also very helpless about this, not because he liked to work, but because Lao Zhu forced him to work, which was even more hateful than the capitalists of later generations.

However, thinking of Zhu Biao, Li Jie was a little worried, originally he planned to return to Nanjing, find an opportunity to let Zhu Biao lose the fat on his body, after all, he is so fat, there will definitely be problems with his body, plus he worked hard to move the capital, in case it really happens like in history, with the medical conditions of this era, I am afraid it will really not be saved.

But now Lao Zhu is urging so much, Li Jie is also worried that after he returns to Nanjing, he will not have time to let Zhu Biao lose weight, so Li Jie is also very anxious during this time, Zhu Biao is his father-in-law, and he is also his biggest backer, in case he really has an accident, then his previous efforts will all be in vain, maybe he will have to go back to hug Zhu Di's thigh, but Zhu Di's violent temper is no worse than Lao Zhu, and following him is the real companion like a tiger.
