The huge warship rode the wind and waves, Li Jie was also very excited when he stood on the stable deck, and behind him, almost all the sailors under Fang Guan were dispatched, and this time it was no longer just a small warship, and those tall giant warships were also dispatched together.

On the two flanks of Li Jie's fleet, there was also a fleet sent by Chang Guowei to follow, and it can be said that this time almost half of the naval forces in Ningbo Port were mobilized, in order to naturally clear out the Japanese invaders.

The day before yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang finally sent a holy decree and agreed to Zhang Dingbian's request, which made Li Jie and them very happy, and Tang He also immediately began to mobilize troops, this time mobilizing hundreds of warships, and the number of troops dispatched was nearly 10,000.

In the cabin behind Li Jie, Tang He and Fang Guan were discussing the tactical plan to eliminate the Japanese invaders, and Zhang Dingbian, Zou Pusheng, and Li Hong were also involved.

However, Li Jie didn't go to join in the fun, after all, he was a layman in the war, and he couldn't give any good advice when he went, so it was better to leave it to these professionals.

At this moment, Li Jie found that there was a small island in front of him, to be precise, it should be a relatively large reef, and there was no vegetation on it, but around the island, there were already many chaotic ships waiting, and when they saw Li Jie and their fleet, the people on board also began to flag this side.

Li Jie immediately went in and asked Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng to come out, and then Li Hong also waved the flag to the small boat opposite, and the other party quickly surrounded them, these people were Li Hong and Zou Pusheng's subordinates, they had been monitoring the movements of the Japanese during this time, and now it was also to assist them in clearing the Japanese invaders.

Soon a short man got on the warship, and when he saw Li Hong, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Dad, there is no change on the side of the Japanese Kou, it is said that they suffered a big loss when they attacked Jintang Island some time ago, and it is estimated that there will be no major action in the near future!" ”

"So now the pirates are in their lair?" Fang Guan next to him also asked eagerly when he heard this, what they were most worried about just now was that the Japanese were not in the lair, and if they pounced, it would be much more difficult to find their traces in the future.

"Yes, in the past few days, we have sent people to take turns to keep an eye on several of the nests of the Japanese Invaders, and we have been in contact with our people, so we can be sure that none of them have gone out, but a few boatloads of Japanese warriors have recently arrived here from the Japanese country." Li Hong's son replied again.

Hearing that another Japanese warrior arrived, Li Jie and the others were all shocked, before they finally eliminated some Japanese invaders, and now there are Japanese invaders from the Japanese country, if they are not cleared, I am afraid that it will not be long before these Japanese invaders will make a comeback.

The opportunity could not be missed, and immediately Li Hong's son led the people in front to lead the way, and the Ming army sailors followed, and drove forward for about an hour, and a small archipelago composed of several small islands appeared in front of Li Jie.

"The front is the first nest of the Wakos, originally there was no name here, but these small islands were arranged together, looking like cat's paws, so they were called Cat's Paw Island by the Wakos, and only the largest island in the middle could live people, and that was one of the nests of the Wakos, there were six or seven hundred Wakos living on the island!" Li Hong pointed to the island in front of him and introduced.

According to the information that Li Hong and the others obtained, there were a total of seven nests of the Woko, each of which was of different sizes, and the cat's claw island in front of them was the largest of them, and the other Wokos also obeyed the orders of the leader here.

As Cat's Paw Island approached, Tang He, as the main general, immediately began to give orders, and under his command, the two wings of the fleet were vacated forward, like a big burden, surrounding the entire Cat's Paw Island.

The Japanese on the island also discovered this huge fleet at this time, and when they saw the flag of the Ming Dynasty on the ship, these Japanese were also in a mess, and it is estimated that they never dreamed that the Ming Navy would take the initiative to attack, and also found their lair.

Don't look at the fierce when they usually loot, but it is only against the defenseless people, in the face of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, the Ming army that has not been corrupted and degenerated in the early Ming Dynasty, these Japanese have no chance of winning at all, not to mention that the strength of the Ming army's naval division is still more than ten times that of them.

However, the Japanese on the island did not choose to surrender, not because they didn't want to, but because they knew that with the Ming army's hatred for them, even if they surrendered, there was no way to survive, so the Japanese made a quick decision, they jumped into the boat as fast as possible, and then scattered and fled, hoping to escape in the chaos, so that at least they could report to the other Japanese invaders.

However, Tang and them have planned for so long, and they have already taken all the loopholes into account, and the reason why so many warships were dispatched was precisely to prevent the escape of the Japanese robbers, not to mention that on the periphery of the Ming army, there were also Li Hong and Zou Pusheng's people, who were specifically responsible for hunting down those possible fish that slipped through the net.

"Fire!" With Tang He's order, the artillery first let out an angry roar, followed by muskets and bows and arrows, these long-range weapons began to pour on the heads of the Japanese invaders, and the screams of the Japanese boats who only cared about fleeing for their lives were connected, and some small boats were directly hit by the artillery, directly disintegrating on the sea, and countless Japanese fell into the sea and struggled to survive.

When the Japanese boat approached, the naval warship simply collided with it, after all, their ship was strong and tall, far from being comparable to the Japanese boat, but it was a little worse in speed, and when it collided, it directly pressed the Japanese boat into the water.

There was no string battle, no fierce resistance, and the disparity in strength made this battlefield battle directly into a crushing battle, and the Japanese had almost no ability to resist, and the sea was full of overboard Japanese wailing.

In the past, Tang He would have ordered all the pirates to be shot, but this time, he began to have all the pirates rescued and imprisoned on the ship, because they would need to be interrogated in the future to confess those who had colluded with them on the shore.

Compared with the Japanese invaders, those spies who colluded with the Japanese and betrayed the Ming Dynasty are even more hateful. Looking at those arrested widows, Jiang Zhen and his Jinyi guards also began to be a little unbearable, under the punishment of their Jinyi guards, the ancestors of these widows can be interrogated by them for eighteen generations!

Li Jie also watched it with relish at first, but after a long time, he felt a little bored, after all, these widows were too weak, and the one-sided crushing looked cool, but it was actually very boring.

After the Japanese robbers on the sea were cleared up, the sailors also landed on Cat's Paw Island, but when they saw the situation on the island, Li Jie and the others were also furious, because in addition to the property stolen by the Japanese on the island, there were also many robbed women.

In the end, the fleet brought these belongings and women, and then burned the nest of the widows, but Li Jie also had a headache, and those belongings were easy to handle, but these women were not easy to settle, because their innocence was tarnished, even if they were sent home, with the customs of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the eyes and gossip around them would be enough to force them to death.

However, now is not the time to think about this, the fleet immediately sets off and kills another nest of the Wokos, and in the face of absolute strength, the lairs of the Wokos left behind are almost all repeats of Cat's Paw Island.

Three days later, Li Jie's fleet began to sail back, in addition to a large number of Japanese prisoners, there were also rescued people, and when they returned to Ningbo Port, the prefect Wang Yan had already released the news, and as a result, countless people came to greet them, after all, the people along the coast hated the Japanese invaders.

However, as soon as the fleet landed, Jiang Zheng's Jinyi guards immediately took people off the ship, and then rushed to various places to start arresting people, on the way here, they had already interrogated the identities of many people who had colluded with the Japanese Bandits, in order to prevent them from getting the news and escaping, so they must be arrested as soon as possible.

Li Jie was worried about the woman who came back, because Tang He handed over this matter to him to handle, after all, this matter was too troublesome, and Tang He didn't bother to take care of it, so he happened to have Li Jie, the deputy envoy, so he threw the matter directly to him.

However, Li Jie has not yet figured out a way to settle these women, but Zou Pusheng quietly found him on this day, because Li Node woke him up, but did not give a solution, and now that the Japanese have been exterminated, he can't help but find Li Jie again, hoping that he can point out a clear way for himself and his subordinates!
