Denglai Town, Dengzhou City.

Zhang Kentang's face was red in the governor's yamen.

He had just knelt down to receive the holy decree in the governor's yamen. Today, the son was very satisfied with the great victory of the Denglai Navy Master in breaking the Japanese invaders, and issued a holy decree to reward all meritorious soldiers.

Of course, this list was handed over by Zhang Kentang. The Son of Heaven also expressed his full trust in the governor of Denglai.

Whoever Zhang Kentang reported to the Son of Heaven was rewarded.

Of course, the Son of Heaven also focuses on rewards, especially for those outstanding soldiers, and high-ranking officials are not a problem.

The most typical of these is Zheng Chenggong.

When the news came out that Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Nan'an, the general soldier of Fujian, secretly communicated with the Eastern Prisoners, there was an uproar.

This of course includes Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai.

Zhang Kentang was particularly special, because at that time, he had Zheng Zhilong's sister-in-law Zheng Chenggong.

Although Zheng Chenggong's status among the Denglai sailors was not high at that time, he was considered a subordinate of Zhang Kentang after all. Zhang Kentang's statement is very crucial.

After thinking about it, Zhang Kentang chose the safest way, that is, to ask Zheng Chenggong to return to Nanjing.

After all, Zheng Chenggong can only be regarded as a political observer during his time in Denglai, and he has no official position.

It was also reasonable for Zhang Kentang to ask him to return to Nanjing.

Once Zheng Chenggong returned to Nanjing, the problem was thrown to today.

When today's son decides, what will happen to Zheng Chenggong's fate has nothing to do with Zhang Kentang.

It turns out that Zhang Kentang's choice was correct. After Zheng Chenggong returned to Nanjing, he was appeased by the kind words of the current son of the day as soon as possible, and returned to Dengzhou after a period of rest.

This time, Zheng Chenggong was like a different person, and he was more resolute when he went to sea to exterminate the nest of the Japanese Invaders, because he brought a holy order.

The Son of Heaven even gave him a decree to allow him to act cheaply.

The face of the Son of Heaven is naturally to be given.

Zhang Kentang also gave Zheng Chenggong a lot of freedom and room to play.

Zheng Chenggong ordered the Denglai sailors to search the sea again and again, but returned again and again in vain.

But instead of getting angry, he continued to persevere.

Eventually, his persistence paid off, and he discovered "Bison Island".

Bison Island is so far away from Dengzhou that it can be difficult to spot.

But Zheng Chenggong still found out.

He immediately discovered that Bison Island was the nest of a group of pirates.

It's not just a supply depot for these pirates, it's also a trading point for them.

In a word, Bison Island is a private port in the truest sense of the word.

Private ports were common at the time.

The control of trade, especially maritime trade, is very strict, including the home country of the Japanese invaders, and the entry threshold for maritime trade is very high.

And the sea trade has huge benefits, and many people do not hesitate to take risks, which leads to smuggling.

The most direct manifestation of smuggling to the Ming Dynasty is the flood of pirates.

At first, officials of the Ming Dynasty believed that the Japanese were all ronin warriors from Dongying. Gradually, however, they realized that they were wrong.

These pirates are mixed with a large number of false pirates. These fake Japanese are basically from the Ming Dynasty, and they are entangled with the Japanese for the sake of profit. Some were even financiers and financiers of the pirates themselves, keeping a private fleet.

This situation has improved since the opening of the sea today, but it has not completely disappeared.

Because the hidden interests behind this are too great, people can't help but take risks for it.

This is the case on Bison Island.

According to post-war screening, Zhang Kentang found that more than half of the Japanese on Bison Island were fake Japanese pirates. Although these widows also have the same hairstyle and wear the same clothes, they are obviously tall and powerful, and they can be distinguished at a glance.

These were the families of the maritime merchants along the coast of Denlai, whose main task was to transport the smuggled goods to Bison Island for trading.

After all, smuggling is not visible, and now that the limelight is so tight, it is safer to choose a small island in the middle of the sea to trade.

This island is controlled by the Shinwa, and all the pirates of this generation trade here.

Porcelain, tea, lacquerware, silk have everything.

You can even buy the swords used by the Ronin and the folding fans used by the daimyos.

There are hundreds of large seagoing vessels docked here, and cargo is unloaded and loaded onto ships every day.

All the rules here are made by the true widows, and there is no need to obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

That all changed after Zheng Chenggong discovered Bison Island.

Zhang Kentang naturally could not tolerate this kind of provocation to the Ming court.

He immediately gave instructions and ordered the Denglai Marines to launch a fierce attack on Bison Island.

The Denglai Marines have been training for so long, and they also need a major naval battle to test the results of their training.

As for Zheng Chenggong, he needs this battle to prove his loyalty to the Ming court.

Attacking an island, especially an island with a well-defended system like Bison Island, is by no means a matter of slapping one's head and rushing up.

Before the attack, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Kentang discussed and planned a comprehensive attack plan.

Of course, Zhang Kentang only put forward a rough outline, and all the details were perfected by Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong decided to divide his forces to attack, with some ships going to attack the North Island and the main force going to storm the South Island.

The North Island is a feint, and the South Island is a decisive battle.

His strategy of dividing forces proved to have paid off.

After discovering the Denglai Naval Division in the North Island, the Japanese were completely attracted to it, so that the troops in the South Island were exhausted, and the main force of the Denglai Naval Division was able to easily land on the beach.

After the landing, the officers and men of the naval division did not have any carelessness, and steadily controlled the key points on the island.

By the time the pirates reacted and wanted to seek a decisive battle, they were already at a complete disadvantage.

But they still won't give up. After all, Bison Island is their nest for a long time, and they are unwilling to give it up like this.

As a result, the pirates launched rounds of ferocious counterattacks.

But these counteroffensives were like tickles in front of the heavily armed officers and men of the Sailors.

You must know that the Denglai Sailor is fully equipped with firearms made by the Firearms Division.

The firearms ration rate of this army, which was composed of the main force of the Shence Army, reached a terrifying seventy percent.

Of course, the Dongying Wokou also have firearms, but their firearms are really insignificant in front of the Denglai Sailors.

After some fighting, the Japanese robbers suffered heavy casualties.

They knew they were not adversaries and wanted to escape from the sea.

But when they fled to the port, they found that all the ships were under the control of the Ming army.

In desperation, they had no choice but to fight against the water.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division did not give the Japanese any chance, and they gradually compressed the space of the Japanese and finally strangled all these murderous Japanese invaders.

Just in case, Zheng Chenggong also ordered the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to check the entire island and kill all the fish that slipped through the net.

This is the victory of Bison Island, a great victory for tomorrow!
