"My lord, has Lord Jiang accepted the tamamoe?" Sakabe didn't know the situation because he was far away, so he came over and asked.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi said with a bitter face, "Accept it... It's just that... Ay... I'd better do my own thing first, I don't know if it's right or wrong this time. ”

——

"The next development of the concession is mainly in construction, especially in the promotion of cotton, which must be strengthened, and we will use this cotton to disrupt the agriculture of the Japanese country." In the room on the ship, Jiang Dezheng was teaching Xu Guanzhong and Zhang Shun face-to-face.

"Rest assured, my lord, there are already many daimyo who want to cooperate with us, these daimyo are extremely greedy people, as long as they do not starve themselves, they are willing to give their last piece of land to grow cotton in exchange for our various luxuries."

It will take at least three years for this to take effect, and I just think it's too little time for now. Jiang De frowned and said, "All in all, how to use the chess piece of the concession well and how to stir up the storm depends on Mr." ”

Xu Guanzhong arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Xiaosheng knows the importance of the Japanese Kingdom to us. ”

"Alright, let's go."

"My lord, I heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave a woman to the lord?"

It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing is spread thousands of miles, Jiang De scratched his face and said, "There is such a thing, he doesn't know that I am Pingyin Hou, and he wants me to bring it to Pingyin Hou, you look at this trouble." ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a serious face, "Lord, the lord has reached the year of marriage, I'm afraid this kind of thing is just the beginning, but please consider it for the future, don't choose a wife." ”

What do you mean? Does it mean that concubines can be taken casually? This evil feudalism!

Jiang De swallowed his saliva and said, "Mr. Xu, I think you misunderstood, I didn't say that I was going to accept the jade algae." ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "My lord, we already have a country, if the country has no queen, then the heart is unstable, and the lord should indeed fill the backyard." ”

Get! What's going on!

——

Jiang De, who was standing at the stern of the boat, looked at the gradually blurred Setsu and sighed, the last time Goryeo Wu used to build a gong, just to balance, Jiang De must also give Xu Guanzhong a chance, a chance to destroy the country.

What's more, the strategy of governing the territory outside the territory was also thought out by Xu Guanzhong and him, and Jiang De was also the most relieved to let Xu Guanzhong be here for the largest Japanese state.

When Settsu was completely out of sight, Jiang De returned to the cabin, ready to rest, and halfway through, he heard bursts of crying.

Jiang De glanced at Niu Gao next to him strangely, Niu Gao shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know anything, Jiang De listened to it again, and found that there was still his daughter's voice, and on this boat, there were only two women, Huadiao and Yuzao just now.

"It's over, eighty percent of the flowers are bullying people, let's take a look." Jiang De shook his head and said.

When I came to Tamamo's room, I opened the door, only to see the flower sculpture and Tamamo crying inside, and an interpreter stood there with all the words on his face saying I wipe.

Huadiao saw Jiang De coming in, and cried and said, "Xiao Langjun, Yuzao girl is so pitiful, just because she looks beautiful, she doesn't even dare to pick up the hat when she goes out, you say, why are you men so disgusting, it's our fault that we are beautiful?" ”

.....

"Yuzao girl's father and mother didn't want her when she was born, just like me, they are all poor people without a father and mother, but I still have a brother, and I don't even have a relative, Xiao Langjun, you say, how pitiful are we!! Wow~~~"

.....

"Sister Yuzao is going with us this time, and I don't know when I will be able to go back to see her adoptive parents, I miss my brother too, wow~~~~"

.....

"¥&*%¥¥%" Yuzao next to him kept talking while crying, looking at Jiang De and the others with black lines on their faces.

What about those who say yes to be angry?

What about bullying people who say yes?

What is this woman's heart all about? Is there a spectrum or not?

"That.... You guys continue... Go on. Jiang De closed the door again, and Niu Gao and the others stared at each other, only feeling that they really couldn't understand women.

When Jiang De saw these two again, these two were already arm in arm, like sisters, Huadiao was teaching her how to speak Chinese, Yuzao was teaching Huadiao how to dress up, it was really... What a good neighbor with a strip of water!

——

"Xiao Langjun, look, is this good-looking?" Jiang De, who was playing the Three Kingdoms with Yue Fei and others at the bow of the boat, looked up when he heard the sound, and saw the same flower carving on his face as the white face, and he was so frightened that the cards were about to be thrown off.

"Huadiao, what the hell are you doing?" Jiang De said with a look on his face.

"Poof! Sister Huadiao, it's too fun for you to be like this. Wang Gui looked at it and fell directly to the ground and laughed.

"What a laugh, this .... This is the most popular costume in Heiankyo. Huadiao said with an unhappy face. After speaking, he pulled over Tamamo who was behind and said, "Sister Tamamo, did you say?" ”

At first glance, Yuzao did not wear makeup, but her complexion was extremely white, so that standing with Huadiao did not look dull.

"I've seen Pingyin Hou!" Yuzao said in Chinese with a Japanese accent.

"Oh, you know my identity, get up, I said Huadiao, this dress is indeed very popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and even the Tang Dynasty, but this is painted for performance, on weekdays... It's a little scary, so let's wash it up. Jiang De said helplessly.

"Isn't it really pretty?" Huadiao said a little unwillingly.

"Hmm.... Look at the expressions of Yue Fei and the others. ”

Hua Diao looked at Yue Fei and the others, who had already laughed completely, and stomped his feet and ran away, Jiang De shook his head and looked at Yuzao, this Yuzao couldn't speak any Chinese, just stood there obediently, Jiang De turned his head and said, "Okay, keep playing." ”

Jiang De was playing cards here, and Yuzao next to him first looked at it for a while, and then came to Jiang De's back, knelt on the deck, and beat Jiang De on the back.

Jiang De was shocked at first, looking at Yue Fei and the others holding back their laughter, he really didn't know what to say.

"Tamamo, just look at it, don't be like this. Sit and watch, do you understand? Jiang De turned around and grabbed Yuzao's hand, Yuzao's originally snow-white face turned red with a bang, she lowered her head, nodded, and then sat aside obediently.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! Clang!! At this time, a burst of gongs and drums sounded, and Jiang De hurriedly got up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is a situation, secondary combat readiness!" "There is a situation, level 2 combat readiness!!"

Hearing the second-level battle preparations, Yue Fei and the others stopped playing, picked up the blade placed next to him, stood up and looked into the distance, in the distance, some extremely small black dots could be seen slowly getting bigger.

Jiang De touched it into his arms, and now he exchanged a telescope and came out, looking into the distance, he saw at least hundreds of ships of the Japanese Kingdom.

"What's the situation?" Jiang De muttered, "Could it be that the Wa Kingdom wants to attack and kill us?" ”

"Commander, there is a Wa State Sailor in the distance, and there is also a Wa State Sailor behind us." Huang Da ran over and said.

"Where are we now?" Jiang De asked.

"Just past Nankaido, in front of you is the Saikaido, and it's only two or three hours away from the Kanmon Strait." Huang Da said.

"Nankaido? Shikoku? Saikaido? Kyushu? At this time, his location was in the last section of the Seto Inland Sea, which was a three-way junction formed by Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which also explains why there was a sailor from the Wa Kingdom behind him, which was a detour from Shikoku.

"The comer is not good, prepare for battle!" Jiang De shouted.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!! "The drums beat, the armor is pierced, the blade is unsheathed, and the bow is taut.

"Huang Da, how to deal with the battle?" Jiang De asked.

"Back to the commander, the further you go, the narrower this waterway becomes, our army has few soldiers, you can't fight with it in close combat, there are no less than five or six hundred thief ships in the front and rear, but there are many front armies and few rear armies, I just looked, there are only 100 thief ships in the rear army, let's retreat."

"Back off?" Jiang De looked left and right, at this time Jiang De only had twenty or thirty ships in his hands, most of which were cargo ships, although Jiang De's ship was large, but the ants killed the elephant.

"No, once we retreat, the prestige of our army that Zhang Shun has laid down in the Japanese Kingdom will be complete, and if we can't retreat, we will fight the enemy here!" Jiang De vetoed Huang Da's order and said.

"Commander, don't do it, if only the villain is here, for the sake of the commander's kindness, it's okay to die in battle, but the commander is here, in case something happens, how can it be good?" Huang Da said disagreeingly at the moment.

"It's because I'm here that I can't retreat, Huang Da, immediately use our warship to attack from afar to meet the battle, go quickly!" Jiang De pushed Huang Da and said, Huang Da stomped his feet and shouted, "Order!" Left full rudder! Get ready for battle! ”

In the distance in the fleet of the Japanese state, a Japanese man wearing gorgeous armor put down his binoculars and sighed, "This thing is really a weapon of naval warfare, and a thousand taels is not expensive." ”

"The wisdom of the Song people is always impressive, my lord, we have gathered more than six hundred warships this time, and we will definitely be able to easily defeat this Song State Sailor." A military general said excitedly next to him.

"Amitabha, the purpose of this battle is to tell the Marquis of Pingyin and the imperial court, who is in charge of this Seto Inland Sea! If it can be captured alive, it is better to be captured alive, so that it can also reflect the compassion of our Buddha. A monk said on the other side.

Needless to say, these three people are Muto Jinyi of Dazaifu, Monk Soori, and Muto Moto, Muto's henchman.

This time, Muto Kanyoshi did not make a unilateral dispatch, he also united the sailors of Iyo Province and Tosa Province, and this was the only way to come up with more than 600 warships.

But said to be a war ship, but there is no big ship, the U National Naval Division war ship is divided into three kinds, namely the small early boat, the Guan ship and the Anzhai ship, the small early ship is the smallest, the Anzhai ship is the largest, as early as in the U Chinese language is the meaning of fast, to put it bluntly, this small early ship is also a small fast boat, the small early boat is about ten meters long, it can carry more than 20 people, the Guan ship is the absolute main force in the U National Naval Division, about seventeen or eight meters long, most of them will build a high platform on the deck for long-range shooting, can carry nearly 100 people.

And the largest is the Ataku boat, this kind of boat will generally exceed 20 meters, the largest is even 30 meters, called the city of the sea by the Japanese people, because in the eyes of the Japanese people, this is already the largest ship that can be built, this boat can carry three or four hundred people, of which there are seventy or eighty people who paddle alone.

Many later generations like to compare the Japanese and the British, that the two are very similar, in fact, the two countries have nothing to do with each other in civilization, later generations because of the British reasons, they feel that the Japanese are also born maritime civilization, but in fact, although the Japanese are surrounded by the sea, but it is a real agricultural civilization, the main role of the Japanese naval army for a long time in addition to a very small amount of ocean trade, most of the time is to transport military rations. The only chance of combat was to bomb the pirates in the Seto Inland Sea, so these warships of the Wa Kingdom were all flat-bottomed, and these warships of the Wa Kingdom were all nailed with wooden planks, no watertight compartments, and not even a keel.

It can be said that before the later Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Wa State had always been the tail of the East Asian Navy's crane, and even Goryeo was a trick to the Wa Navy in terms of sailors.

But the premise of the hanging fight is that it cannot be melee by the Wa State, once it enters hand-to-hand combat, the Wa State is really difficult to deal with with the characteristics of not being afraid of death and being short in stature.

"My lord, look, the Pingyin army is changing formations!" Horri said, pointing ahead.

I saw that Jiang De's fleet began to turn to the left and gradually turned sideways.

"Haha, the Song people don't understand water warfare, so they actually greeted me from the side, and gave an order! Burn the wind! Muto Jinyi ordered.

The Seto Inland Sea is said to be small and small, but it is said to be big and big, at this time the width is also forty or fifty miles, Jiang De's fleet not only has sails, but also has a pedal dark wheel, at this time the dark wheel is used, and the speed suddenly flies, obliquely stabbed at the rear army of the Wa State, the rear army of the Wa State is only forty or fifty small morning boats and a dozen Guan boats, watching the fleet rush towards themselves, the Japanese officers of each ship have cheered up the soldiers, saying that as long as the Song ship is not entangled for half an hour, the Song ship will be drowned by the main force that rushed over.

"Boom!" "Boom!!" "Boom !!"

There was still a mile away from the Japanese army was waiting to get closer to some good broadside battles, but they heard bursts of thunder in the distance, and then they saw something flying over, and then, the surrounding sea seemed to appear like a dragon king, and it was blown up, and these Japanese people looked at the waves that had just flown around, and only felt that their outlook on life had been refreshed.

What is this?

"Boom!" "Boom!!" "Boom !!"

There was another thunderclap, but this time, it was no longer just the sea that was blown up, and one of the few ships in Iyo Province didn't know what was hit, and the entire lookout was half collapsed, and everyone watching gasped again.

Is there any fighting in this battle?

"Be careful! There are trebuchets! A lookout on the ship shouted, now everyone saw clearly, dozens of stone balls flew in, this look is the trebuchet smashed over, this is not afraid, this trebuchet on the flat ground is not accurate, not to mention on this sea, it is really the same way that a blind cat touches a dead mouse.

"Bang!" "Bang dang!" "Ah!!h

This kind of thought hasn't passed yet, these dozens of stone balls have come to the fleet, but this quasi-head is too scary, at least a dozen stone balls have been hit, this is on the sea, could it be that Amaterasu has abandoned us? What about the Buddha... Oh, by the way, I heard that the Buddha came from the Central Plains, so it makes sense that it doesn't bless us.
