In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, or the Dongying during the period from the Wanli Dynasty to the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, there was already a bit of a strong trend, and they themselves thought that they were too strong to do it, so Dongying Guanbai Toyotomi Hideyoshi would set off the Battle of Wenlu Qingchang, in a vain attempt to use Korea as a springboard to take the Ming Dynasty, and then take the Mughal Empire, and establish a super empire in the Far East.

At this time, Toei had just completed the unification of the Warring States period that lasted for many Jiazi, and the authority of the shogun had reached its peak, and all the feudal states, so the local daimyo did not dare to disobey the orders of the shogun, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to organize more than 300,000 troops to launch a stormy invasion of the Ming vassal state Korea.

So, how powerful were Dongying during this period, or how many troops could they muster?

It's very simple, if they can mobilize more than 300,000 troops to invade North Korea, instead of being invaded, it proves that they have not reached the level of trying their best to fight with people, if they are invaded and forced to do their best to fight with people, then they can at least burst out of 400,000 or even 500,000 troops!

In other words, in terms of the number of troops alone, they are about the same as the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, their weapons and equipment are not very bad, the Ming Dynasty has muskets, they also have them, the Ming Dynasty has artillery, they also have it, but their artillery casting technology is still relatively backward, and they can only make light artillery equivalent to the Tiger Squat Cannon, and they can't make heavy artillery similar to the Hongyi Cannon and the Franc Machine Cannon.

They didn't think it was a disadvantage because of such a slight disadvantage, although the Satsuma Domain, a powerful feudal domain in the east, was flattened by Zhang Binhai, and although the current shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu was bombarded by a super battleship under Zhang Bin to accept peace talks and open two port cities as treaty ports, they did not think that they were much worse than Daming.

Regarding the beating of the Satsuma Domain, they think that it is normal for a powerful empire like you to bully a feudal country in the east, which is to bully the small with the big, and it is normal for the Satsuma Domain to do it.

As for the opening of treaty ports, they think that there are indeed a lot of artillery on your Ming gunboats, and we really can't do you at sea, but on land, it is not known who will kill the deer, so it is nothing to be forced to open two treaty ports, and you have not captured my two cities, so I can't fight with you.

Even in the battle of Wenlu Keichang, they didn't think that they were defeated, they thought that it was because of the sudden death of the regent Sekibai Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the Dongying army was leaderless, so they had to retreat, not what the Ming and North Korea boasted, defeated!

Well, sometimes the brain circuits of Dongying people are indeed very strange, if you don't beat him down, he won't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!

This time, Zhang Bin didn't want to beat them down, but to include Dongying in the territory of Daming and make this neighbor his servant!

He quietly prepared everything, and the vanguard army boarded the ship and prepared to leave, and then sent out the prepared papers.

Daming is a state of etiquette, before the war naturally has to say hello, this text is a must, if there is no text, go straight to it, it is rude, even the barbarians will not do this, even the original Jurchen chief Nurhachi wanted to go to war with the Ming Dynasty when he sent a message, Zhang Bin naturally could not declare war, let people say that they are not civilized, not polite.

The text is very long, and I said a lot of it, but the meaning is very simple, and the translation into the vernacular is: Dongying Xiaoer, your Wanli Dynasty once bullied my little brother North Korea, and tried to beat me as the boss, I am very angry, so I want to beat you.

This reason is actually very good and powerful, and it can be used as a reason for going to war, and the reason for Dongying's invasion of Korea in the first place is called absurd.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi also sent something similar to the text to North Korea at the beginning, and he also said a lot of words, and the meaning is very simple, translated into the vernacular: North Korean brother, I am going to beat your boss, if you let me pass through your house, if you don't let me, I will beat you down first, and then beat your boss.

Of course North Korea won't do it, what are you kidding, you go and beat up my boss and let me make way for you, you are not my boss, you are the boss of someone else's family, why should I listen to you?

Besides, I'll get out of the way, if you don't beat my boss down, I won't be killed by my boss!

If you don't do it, you owe it to you, okay, I'll beat you!

As a result, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used this excuse to do it!

In fact, these are all nonsense, and countries have always only talked about fists, not reasoning, and whoever has the biggest fist is the truth.

Zhang Bin also means this, when my fist is not big enough, you want to bully me, and now, my fist is big, bigger than a sand bowl, so, I want to beat you.

In order to catch Toei off guard, he also played the trick of yin, he could have sent a clipper ship to send the tokubun directly to Edo, to the current shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu, but he ordered someone to send the tokubun to Nagasaki and to the Matsukura clan, the daimyo of Hizen Kunidai!

The Matsukura clan was directly stunned, Yaga, I'm just a little brother, okay, you Ming wants to beat us Dongying, you go and tell my boss the shogunate, you tell me to be a fart!

This kind of thing, he has no right to call the shots at all, and he doesn't know how to reply to the Ming envoy, so he can only order someone to send the message sent by the Ming Dynasty to speed up the ship and send it to Edo, and ask the shogunate general Tokugawa Iemitsu to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.

Negotiation, it is impossible to negotiate, at least Zhang Bin has no intention of negotiating with Dongying.

The night before, the text reached Nagasaki, and the next morning, an overwhelming number of warships appeared on the sea west of Nagasaki!

How many warships does the Fujian Navy Division have now?

The number is actually not very large, less than 2,000 in total, but all of them are real warships, and even the kind of extremely fast wheel Zhang Bin has been eliminated, and now, the Fujian Navy Division is all Weiyuan battleships, Zhenyuan cruisers and light warships equipped with new artillery!

This guy, although there are less than 2,000 warships in the Fujian Navy Division, the Weiyuan battleship and the Zhenyuan cruiser are large, and there are hundreds of large battleships like sea palaces, which is really terrifying.

Matsukura was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, big brother, don't do this, you're going to fight in a group to find my boss!

He hurriedly sent an eight-oared clipper similar to a centipede boat to hold a white flag to negotiate with the Ming army.

As a result, the battleship of the Ming Dynasty did not meet this ant-like boat at all, and Yu Chenglong, the Marquis of Jinjiang, directly ordered a Weiyuan battleship to crash over, and smashed the eight-clawed ship sent by the Matsukura clan!

The last battle between Daming and Dongying began, and immediately afterward, Yu Chenglong ordered all the Weiyuan battleships to line up and launch a round of broadside volleys at Nagasaki City.

At this time, the Ming merchants in Nagasaki City had already been notified by Dongshengtang, and under the pretext of getting married, everyone went to the big village north of Nagasaki to celebrate, but in fact, everyone secretly took Dongshengtang's armed merchant ship back to Daming!

Therefore, not a single Ming merchant in Nagasaki City is gone, and even the family members of the Ming merchant have been taken away, and Yu Chenglong can rest assured that he will be bold.

Nearly 200 Weiyuan battleships fired a salvo on the side of the side, what kind of concept is that, it is more than 10,000 shells the size of watermelons!

More than 10,000 shells were smashed, and the walls of Nagasaki Castle near the sea were smashed to pieces, and the wooden bungalows in the city were even more smashed.

Yu Chenglong carefully observed it with a telescope, and then ordered all the Weiyuan battleships to change sides in turn, and then come with four rounds of sideside salvos!

At this time, even Lu Xiangsheng, the Marquis of Liaoyang, who was known as the "King of Lu Yan", was a little unbearable, he put down the binoculars and sighed: "Jackie Chan, this is a bit too cruel, the civilians in the city are innocent." ”

Yu Chenglong said coolly: "The textbooks of the Army Academy and the Naval Academy both emphasize that there is no mercy to talk about in wars between countries!" Besides, if the civilians in the city are afraid of death, they can run, and I didn't tie them to be a target. ”

The civilians in Nagasaki City did start to run, and even the Matsukura clan and the tens of thousands of "army" under him ran away, what are you kidding, don't run, stay and eat cannonballs, cannonballs are not delicious, if you go down, your stomach will burst!

There was no suspense in the next battle, after five consecutive rounds of sideside volleys, Nagasaki City was basically bombed into ruins, Lu Xiangsheng led the forward army to land and directly ordered, ordering Zhenjiang Marquis Mao Wenlong to lead the Dongjiang Army to attack Hizen Country Biqi County, and ordered the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu to lead the Sichuan Army to attack Hizen Country Gaolai County.

At this time, the Daidai Ming Matsukura clan of Hizen Country ran away, who could stop the Ming army soldiers, in less than a day, the two counties were completely occupied by the Ming army, and then, the Ming army forward destroyed all the way, occupying Hizen Country Kifu County, adoptive father county, Jinzai county, Saga county, etc., in less than three days, except for another big name Matsuura clan of Matsuura County, the entire Hizen country was almost occupied by the Ming army.

It's not that Lu Xiangsheng can't take Songpu County, it's that Zhang Bin doesn't let him fight, after all, the Songpu clan is a "great prince" across the three kingdoms of Hizen, Iki, and Tsushima, and if Lu Xiangsheng leads the vanguard army to attack, casualties will definitely be inevitable.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is completely crushing Dongying, Zhang Bin naturally doesn't want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties, so Zhang Bin asked Lu Xiangsheng not to attack Songpu County first, and when he personally leads the Chinese army to come, he will rush over and crush the Songpu clan together!

This guy, Zhang Bin has not yet led the Chinese army to reach Feiqian Country, and all the local daimyo in Dongying are about to be beaten to the point of collective self-isolation, overwhelming warships, countless giant cannons, hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Ming troops, who can withstand it!
