There were a total of 100 warships of various colors, and the commander was Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the second lord of the Satsuma Domain.

This Shimazu Mitsuhisa participated in the suppression of the Shimabara Rebellion and has some battlefield experience. In addition, as the lord of the Satsuma Domain, he was also very fierce in oppressing the Ryukyu Kingdom. In order to consolidate his rule, he even killed his brother-in-law Shimazu Hisaaki, the old Shimazu Hisakei.

According to the custom of the Tokugawa shogunate, anyone who was closer to the shogun would be sealed closer to Edo. The Satsuma Domain was located at the southwestern tip of the island of Kyushu, far away from Edo, which shows how far the relationship between the Satsuma Domain and the Tokugawa Shogunate was.

In the original history, it was also for this reason that at the end of the shogunate, the samurai of the Satsuma clan became the main force and vanguard of the fall of the shogunate. They advocated the abolition of the shogunate and the return of the emperor. After Emperor Meiji came to power, most of the members of the Ukinai Cabinet came from the Satsuma Domain.

Now, it is precisely because of the bad relationship between the Satsuma Domain and the Tokugawa Shogunate that this pioneer gnaws hard bones, and Ii Naotaka is entrusted to the Satsuma Domain.

At this time, Shimazu Mitsuhisa saw that the Ming Naval Master didn't seem to react, and he was overjoyed after breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

This vanguard mission, if the enemy is on guard, is an unfortunate errand, and is likely to suffer heavy casualties. However, if the enemy is unprepared, it means that the first merit can be obtained, no matter how dissatisfied the Tokugawa shogunate is with the Satsuma domain, after all, it is necessary to reward the merits, otherwise, in the eyes of other daimyos, who will contribute to the Tokugawa shogunate?

Looking up at the sky, it is estimated that it will not take a long time, the sky will be bright, at this time, it is the time of high tide, whether it is the time of day or the location, it is suitable for attacking. Shimazu Mitsuhisa estimated in his heart, and his face became fierce again.

There is no specific command of the battle under the cover of night. Therefore, before the departure, there had been an agreement to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had far more troops than the Ming army, and if the flagship did not open fire, it would be a broadside battle.

Closer, closer!

Shimazu Mitsuhisa saw that the Ming Navy Division still did not move, and immediately rejoiced and immediately passed down the military order. All the Japanese soldiers went up to the deck, armed with all kinds of weapons, and prepared to wait for the ships to rush into the port of Pusan, and then engage in broadside battles.

Under the moonlight, I could vaguely see a large group of black shadows moving on the sea. Needless to say, these black shadows are all the warships of the Japanese Navy.

Almost every ship, like Shimazu Mitsuhisa, all the Japanese soldiers were on standby on the deck, waiting for the battle to start the battle close to the Ming warship.

The night was silent, except for the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.

But in this tranquility, all of a sudden, there was a flash of fire, and then a loud "boom".

I saw that a warship of the Japanese Kingdom that rushed to the front broke out with dazzling flames, and it soon burned. Most of the Japanese soldiers on the deck were shaken, and with the help of the firelight, they could be seen staggering to their feet.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked a little stupid, and the warship in front of him suddenly exploded. The other Japanese soldiers were also stupid, because this explosion was so unexpected!

This is not close to the Ming warship, why did the ship blow up by itself, could it be that the soldier accidentally detonated the gunpowder on the ship?

Before I could figure it out, I saw another flash of fire, and then there was a loud "boom".

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was directly shocked to the sky, and the whole person was stunned, and while hurriedly getting up, he couldn't care about silence, and immediately shouted loudly: "Who detonated the gunpowder?" Fight the fire, ......"

As he shouted, there was another continuous explosion. The warships of the Japanese Navy Division that rushed to the front all encountered a sudden explosion, firelight, and shouting, which mixed together, opening the prelude to the Second Battle of Busan.

Until this time, seeing the explosion of so many warships, it became clear that it could not be someone who accidentally ignited the gunpowder. Shimazu Mitsuhisa finally remembered that according to legend, there was something that could explode in the sea on the side of the Ming Kingdom, which seemed to be called a mine. It must have been this thing that detonated the Japanese warship. Otherwise, if the Ming army opened fire, you can always see the fire of the muzzle of the artillery!

He was right, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the Japanese army, Zheng Zhilong laid mines outside the port.

The mine was first invented by the Chinese.

According to historical records, in the 28th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty invented the world's first mine, which was made of a wooden box as a mine shell, putty sticky seams, and the ropes below connected the iron anchor, controlled the depth, and manually manipulated the firing, which was more than 200 years earlier than the manufacture and use of mines in the West.

In the eighteenth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty invented the "underwater dragon king cannon", which was the earliest drifting thunder, with incense as a timing fuse, floating on the sea or river surface to ignite the explosion.

In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Wang Minghe, a military general of the Ming Dynasty, invented the "underwater thunder" with the rope as the touching line, and improved it to the touching line drifting thunder two years later, which was the earliest trigger drifting thunder in the world.

These mines that Daming can have, Zheng Zhilong's Denglai sailor naturally also has them. I have been preparing for a war with the Japanese Navy Division for a long time. The weapons that may be used in this kind of naval warfare have long been carried. In the previous Battle of Busan, it was too easy to destroy the Japanese naval division, and these mines were not used at all. However, this time, when he learned that the Japanese naval division was attacking in a big way, Zheng Zhilong laid these mines on the outside of Busan Port, and sure enough, under the black light, he made a miraculous achievement.

As the mines detonated one by one, the warships of the Wa Naval Division that rushed to the front were basically hit by several mines in one ship, which seriously damaged the warships of the Wa Naval Division and could not continue to move forward.

The Japanese soldiers on these warships of the Japanese Navy Division were either in a hurry to put out the fire, or when they saw that they could not put out the fire, they shouted for friendly warships to rescue them, or simply jumped into the sea to escape. Anyway, at this time, no one cares about sneaking around.

Under the light of these exploding and burning warships, it was like daylight on the outside of Busan Port. With the help of this bright light, you can see the sea surface outside, and the black pressure is full of warships of the Japanese Navy Division.

In this case, if the sneak attack fails, it can only be a strong attack.

However, before the warships of the Japanese Navy Division could be adjusted, they saw that on the shore of Busan Port, there was almost a line of beautiful fire. Immediately afterwards, I heard rumbling thunder, no, it was the sound of cannons.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At the same time as the cannon sounded, I saw that the warships of the Japanese Navy Division illuminated by the firelight were like paper paste, and the warships were either smashed by iron bullets or pierced. Those unlucky Japanese soldiers were accidentally smashed, and they basically ended up with broken hands and feet, and blood spilled on the sea.

Just the first round of shelling, you can see that more than a dozen warships of the Japanese Navy Division have been shattered and have begun to sink slowly.

Seeing such a situation, all the Japanese people reacted, and the Ming army had already prepared!

Sure enough, after the first round of shelling, I saw the coastal eyeline, and torches were lit one by one. The Ming soldiers were busy loading the second round of shelling.

The Japanese sailors panicked and retreated one after another. However, there were too many warships of the Japanese Navy Division, and they couldn't immediately adjust and get out of the way. So, they all panicked and wanted to shoot back, and the Japanese soldiers on the deck, regardless of whether the range was enough, opened fire with their shotguns one after another.

All of a sudden, the port of Busan is still really lively, and under the bonfire, the "boom" and "boom" sound non-stop, just like the New Year. It's just that the atmosphere is different.

At this time, those Ming Navy warships that were hiding in the black suddenly roared angrily.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

I saw a line of fire flickering, and iron bullets whistled out, joining the excitement.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa finally escaped to a warship behind, and before he could care about his flagship, he saw the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army on land and water, and was immediately so frightened that he immediately shouted: "Withdraw, retreat, retreat...... quickly."

However, in such a chaotic situation, his military orders could not be conveyed at all. Besides, who doesn't know how to run, but how to run in a traffic jam?

With a "boom", the flagpole was hit by an iron bullet and immediately fell, so frightened that Shimazu Mitsuhisa hurriedly shut up and dodged, and he didn't dare to stay any longer on this boat, and immediately began to move. As for the command, it has long been left behind.

Zong Yicheng, who was far away on Tsushima Island, couldn't sleep and had been watching, finally saw the outbreak of war, watching the fire in Busan from a distance getting bigger and bigger, and listening to the rumbling cannons, he couldn't help but think in his heart, it should be the Great Wa Sailor rushing into Busan, repeating the previous Ming Sailor, who was beating the defenseless, and thought that the Great Wa Sailor was still ambushing the Ming Sailor on Tsushima Island!

At this time, he couldn't help but be a little excited. That Jing Yi Naotaka is really cunning and cunning, he took the Ming State Naval Division by surprise, and he is such a superior force, it is estimated that after dawn, Busan has been occupied by the Great Japanese Army.

Thinking of this, Zong Yicheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at where Shimoi Yi Naotaka was sleeping, thinking in his heart, this big man is strategizing, and he is already in his chest, so he will fall asleep so indifferently, right?

In fact, Naotaka Ii, who is already fifty-five years old, didn't sleep at all. In other words, he wanted to sleep, but he just couldn't. At this time, when I heard the rumbling cannon, I couldn't sleep.

However, in his heart, he absolutely did not admit that he was worried about the war situation, but was thinking that Zheng Zhilong suffered a big loss by the hand he arranged, and he didn't know what his expression was at this time, and he was like thunder?

Let them make the general angry like that, and almost caused civil strife, this time, it can be regarded as a tooth for a tooth. This Zheng Zhilong dares to be the enemy of the Great Wa Kingdom, and this is the end.

After thinking for a long time, he didn't hear the sound of the cannon quiet, but saw a faint light through the window, and he knew that it was dawn.
