Goguryeo Peninsula, Busan Port.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is advisable to go on a long journey.

In the bay, there are one hundred and four Leopard cruisers and four hundred No. 1 armed transport Daifuku ships, neatly arranged, looking majestic.

As the commander-in-chief of this expedition, Zhong Jixiang's face was full of gangsterism, without the elegance of a literati and ink writer, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of murderous energy.

Zhu Youxiao is wearing a five-piece set of thousand-year-old ice silk that is warm in winter and cool in summer, covered with a domineering and peculiar superalloy gold armor, wearing a crimson cloak, and on the left and right sides, respectively, the snow treading god horse Xiaobai and the mutant big dog T34.

Behind him were the two commanders of the Combined Fleet, Zhong Jixiang and Zhang Guangzhe.

A little later, there are the core generals of the two fleets of the Ming Imperial East China Sea and the North Sea.

The huge lineup of this expedition to the Japanese Kingdom was composed of 170,000 Royal Navy officers and men of the two fleets and 30,000 logistics auxiliaries.

"Knock knock!" ……

The drums of war were beating suddenly, but the auspicious time had come.

After a simple and solemn ceremony of going out to the sea to sacrifice the sea, with Zhu Youxiao's order, the officers and men of various divisions and regiments, as well as 30,000 logistics soldiers, under the command of a famous general, boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

Zhu Youxiao was the first to board the flagship, walked to the deck, and the oncoming sea breeze tore the big cloak behind him, like a sail on a mast.

As far as the eye can see, the milky white warships that completely cover almost the entire coastline have begun to close their anchors and sail.

The snow-white sails spread almost to the sky, a bit of an endless feeling.

The soldiers boarded the ship in batches, and the horses were led onto the warship by a famous soldier, and the people were like tigers, horses and dragons, and the people and horses were full of energy.

As the warships full of soldiers left the dock, the other warships waiting on one side immediately re-entered the original dock, continuing to repeat the previous scene, repeating the same cycle and endlessly.

From the early morning to the midnight of the afternoon, all the ships were ready.

"Let's go!"

The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Chung Ki-sang, immediately ordered the mighty Royal Navy Combined Fleet to set off, and one after another sailed out of the major piers of Pusan.

"This can be called a sail like a cloud, a boat on the blue sea!"

Standing at the bow of the central flagship, Colonel Zhu You looked at the magnificent fleet of the Ming Royal Navy and said with some emotion.

The huge fleet marched towards the other side of the Goguryeo Strait, all the way to the arrogant and domineering.

Along the way, it is inevitable to encounter some merchant ships of all kinds.

These armed merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty and other countries in the world who went to the Japanese country to make a lot of money, saw such a huge fleet, they all dodged, and everyone was panicked and shocked.

"Where did these battleships come from? How could there be such a vast, majestic fleet? ”

"! Is there going to be a huge war in this sea? How is this called us businessmen? ”

"Hey! In the current Wa Kingdom, there is already a chaos, our business in the past few years has been very difficult, and now we have encountered such a huge fleet, so ......"

"I know, this is the Royal Navy of the Northern Ming Empire!"

"There are so many Great Warships of the Northern Ming Empire, it won't be to attack the Wa Kingdom, right?" ……

Wherever the Ming Royal United Grand Fleet passed, there was a sound of exclamation, and everyone sighed.

Originally, this country was the best place to make money.

There are a large number of gold and silver mines in the country, and the annual output of gold and silver is very large, and the people here are closed to the country, and the need for all kinds of foreign goods is massive.

Over the years, all kinds of maritime merchants who have traveled to and from the Japanese country, as long as they do not encounter the kind of pirates who kill people and oversell goods, which one of them has not made a lot of money?

There is no doubt that what these merchants are most afraid of is the great chaos and war of the Japanese kingdom.

In the past year, there have been various signs of riots in the Japanese country, which has made businessmen from all walks of life worried. Moxue Literature Network

And today, everyone actually saw a huge fleet that almost scared people to death on the spot, and while they were shocked, they were all in vain!

The only thing these merchant ships can do is to speed up their departure from this sea area, lest their own merchant ships be affected by the imminent outbreak of war, and the fish in the pond will be affected by the unjustified disaster.

After a day and a night of sailing, with Zhu Youxiao's precise navigation order, the Grand Fleet crossed the Goguryeo Strait all the way and finally entered the waters near the Wa Kingdom.

As previously planned, the Royal United Grand Fleet did not stop, but continued to move forward.

In the previous battle plan, the first targets to be attacked were the nests of the Japanese pirates: Osaka, Edo, and Kyoto.

The name of the Wa Kingdom originally meant "the land of the rising sun" or "the country of the sunset", and in history there were other names such as Yamato, Toei, Fuso, and Wakoku.

Its territory consists of four large islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and more than 6,000 small islands, with a land area of about 300,000 square kilometers.

According to the folklore of the Wako, the Wa Kingdom was founded on February 11, 660 B.C., and the original meaning of its name is the place where the rising sun rises.

Because it is located on the ocean east of the Ming Empire, the people of the Ming Empire are also called Dongying or Dongyang.

There are many islands in this state, and the number of large and small islands far exceeds the Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula and Goguryeo Peninsula currently under the jurisdiction of the Ming Empire.

Because there are so many islands in this sea area, the fleet needs to detour from time to time.

In order to gain time, the Grand Fleet encountered many large and small islands inhabited by Japanese pirates along the way, and could only temporarily let them go, so that these Japanese soldiers and civilians who originally thought they were going to be attacked were inexplicably exclaiming.

Nearly a day and a night passed, and the Royal Navy Combined Fleet finally arrived at the predetermined target sea area.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, not far from the sea here, is Osaka, a port city opened by the Japanese Invaders."

"One hundred and fifty miles north of Osaka is Kyoto, and the residence of the Emperor Wako is in the city of Kyoto."

"About 800 miles further east from Kyoto is the Tokugawa Shogunate's Imperial Palace: Edo Castle."

Huang Jianjie, deputy director of the Royal Military Intelligence Bureau, was in charge of intelligence work with the army this time because he was proficient in the language of the Japanese state.

As soon as the Grand Fleet entered this sea area, he walked quickly, found His Majesty the Emperor and the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Zhong Jixiang, and said with a respectful report.

Since His Majesty and several generals were not familiar with Osaka Castle in the Wa Kingdom, he began to explain it in a colorful and eloquent manner.

Osaka, located in the central and western part of the Wa Kingdom, is the central location of the region, and its population and density are second only to Edo and Kyoto.

Osaka is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faces Osaka Bay in the bow-shaped shape to the west.

Its east and north sides, the altitude is five or six hundred meters, the south is higher, the highest point is Yanchong Mountain, about nine hundred meters high.

The central part of Osaka is the Osaka Plain, and the Yodogawa River, the Yamato River, and their tributaries flow through it.

Osaka, known as the "City of Water", has been trading frequently with the Han mainland and the Goguryeo Peninsula in Japan and the West since ancient times.

In particular, the port of Nambatsu in Osaka is a key area for exchanges with foreign merchants.

Osaka Castle, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the overlord of the Warring States period, is an ancient city of great scale, slightly smaller than the city of Xi'an in the Ming Empire.

Its representative building, the castle tower, is the symbol of Osaka.

The castle tower is one of the main buildings in Osaka Castle, and the 13-meter-high castle tower is a 40-meter-tall castle tower.

In order to build Osaka Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered all the princes of the Wa Kingdom to participate in the construction of the castle, and many of the moats and stones of the castle were donated by the princes from all over the world.

In addition, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used hundreds of thousands of laborers in three years to build it with his hard work and sweat.

Nearly a million large stones were used for the entire 20-mile-long stone wall outside Osaka.

The architectural structure of Osaka Castle is divided into an inner castle, a middle castle, and an outer castle, with two inner and outer moats and two tall stone walls, as well as countless others such as the Otemon Gate and the Arrow Tower.

There are some other Osaka situations, and Huang Jianjie, who is very eloquent, will explain them to you one by one.

With the explanation of this very talented and thick-skinned guy, everyone finally has an intuitive impression of this strange Osaka, and they no longer know nothing.

Everyone present is a number of battle-hardened killers, all thinking about the upcoming attack, and what kind of routine their own side will use, so as to make the battle easier and achieve greater results.
