The fleet traveled to the waters near Yiqi Island, and the sailors in charge of watching saw a large number of ships coming near the land in the distance. ”

When the commanders of the various departments and several officers in charge of the logistics department heard the warning sound, they walked out of the cabin one after another and looked in the direction of Iki Island with their own binoculars.

Sure enough, I only saw a large number of large black and pressed Ataka ships, Sekihaku ships, etc., heading towards their own fleet, and there may be more than 50 ships on board, so there is no doubt that they are the main fleet of the Matsuura Domain.

At this time, on a large 2,000-material ship in the middle of the fleet, Yang Renhong walked into the cabin on the ground floor and bowed to Yang Wenli, who was on the throne of the highest, and reported: "Great Commander, the main fleet of the Hirado Domain of the Wa Kingdom is appearing on the right side of our side, and my subordinates have roughly counted it, I am afraid that there are more than 50 large Anzhai ships, which are menacing, and I am afraid that those who come are not good, please show the commander." ”

"Yang Renri led the warships with mortar squads and ballista squads on each ship, and went out to guard, and the rest of the ships and personnel did not need to panic, do not care about him, and the fleet continued to advance." Yang Wenli ordered slowly but firmly.

Yang Liren, who was standing beside him, immediately made a promise, and then hurried out of the cabin to arrange for the slaves who were in charge of the command flag to convey the order to the ships.

Yang Renhong is the captain of his guards, and the duty of the guards is to protect his safety, and they are not responsible for issuing orders, nor do they have the right to pass orders, only his personal slaves have this power, so it is Yang Liren who responds to the order and carries out the order.

Since there are not many mortars and ballistas, they cannot be configured on each ship, so only a small number of warships are equipped with squad-sized mortars and ballista strike groups, and they are the real warships of the fleet, which are led by Yang Renri.

His duties were beyond the scope of his own small banner's authority, almost the artillery commander of the Black Armor Army, and the mortars of each small banner and the ballista of the logistics department belonged to him in wartime.

"Renhong, sit down and have tea! , you don't have to worry about the Matsuura clan daring to invade our army, you have your own day to deal with them, at sea, your guards can be said to be useless, let's drink tea and chat with peace of mind! ”

"Yes" Yang Renhong bowed and thanked him, and then sat down at the bottom according to his words.

"Great Commander, the Matsuura Domain was born as a pirate, and the sea power is among the best in the Japanese Kingdom, but compared to my Black Armor Army, it is nothing, if they do not measure themselves and dare to offend our army, our Black Armor Army soldiers will definitely teach them a painful lesson.

The Grand Commander can also make them pay war reparations, such as large quantities of grain, meat, fruits, and supplies such as sulfur, lead, and copper, which are the specialties of the Japanese kingdom.

Otherwise, our Black Armor Army fleet will approach the port of Hirado for a long time, and punish them as a sign of heavenly might. ”

The next person in the hall stood up and respectfully bowed to Yang Wenli and made suggestions, but it was Wu Chuandong Wu Sanhe, who had been to Hirado.

"Hahahaha! Wu Shipowner's suggestion is very good, so let's do it. When Yang Wenli heard this, he immediately "longyan was happy", and he laughed and adopted Wu Sanhe's suggestion.

In his previous life, he was just a hooligan, his thoughts were not very noble, and he only believed that fists were the truth in his life, and if Matsuura dared to offend him, he would really order the fleet to go to Hirado Port for a walk.

He won't be soft when he fights small Japan, and he won't be polite, and he won't let go if he doesn't loot the Matsuura Domain.

Of course, the premise is that the Matsuura clan eats the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to offend the Black Armor Army, otherwise not only will there be no excuse, but he also doesn't want to delay the precious time to go to Ezo Island.

When he reaches his position, he has the opportunity to ascend to the pole and become the emperor, and he must be clear and honest in everything he does, and he can't be like ordinary angry youths, and he will be confused by his temperament, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people of the world.

Sitting in the hall and chatting with him were several shipowners who went to Japan at the beginning, including Zhou Shiji and Wu Sanhe.

Wu Sanhe and Zhou Shiji are both optimistic about the future of the Black Armor Army and are loyal supporters of Yang Wenli.

Zhou Shiji, who was in the hall, was very depressed when he saw that Wu Sanhe had robbed a city, and his mind moved, and he had a plan, so he stood up and bowed to Yang Wenli to stop him: "Great commander, the grass people think it is impossible, there are two reasons.

One is that since ancient times, China has believed that teachers are famous, and they crusade against the unrighteous monarch with a dignified and upright teacher.

The port of Hirado was the most important foreign trade port in the Japanese country, and if our army invaded it without reason, it would inevitably spread to all countries in the world, and it would have a very bad impact on our army, and it would be more than worth the loss.

In the event of a war, our fleet may cause fire and other major disasters, which is a move to kill 100 enemies and injure 3,000 yourself.

Moreover, the ship was already full of people and goods, so how could they seize the materials of the Matsuura Domain? ”

What Zhou Shiji said is very reasonable, especially the last one, the fleet can no longer be loaded with supplies, Yang Wenli deeply agreed, and he also revealed his talent in disguise, and hit the competitor Wu Sanhe, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, it was said that Yang Ren-il received an order from the commander's ship to send a commanding order, and when he learned that he was going to lead the warship to go out on guard, he ordered his slaves to send the warships out of the queue and cross the middle of his own fleet and the attacking fleet of the Matsuura Domain.

Among the ten brothers, Yang Renri's ability is not outstanding, but he can't complain that he is lucky, it is precisely because of his ability that Yang Wenli once ordered him to manage logistics and ordnance manufacturing matters.

As a result, he followed Yang Wenli to develop the ballista, and because he knew how to operate the ballista, Yang Wenli naturally ordered him to manage the ballista strike group.

Mortars are curved guns like ballistas, and when they test firing mortars, he is indispensable, and now he commands the artillery strike group, which is a matter of course.

As the fleet approached, Yang Renri could clearly see through the telescope that in the attacking Japanese Ataka ship, on a large ship with about 800 materials, there were dozens of Japanese samurai wearing kimonos supporting a short and fat person, with a moon head and only a handful of Rendanhu's main generals on his lips, who was also using a long monocular to observe the reality of his own fleet.

The Galileo-type monoculars had been invented in Europe a long time ago, and at that time, Japan was not closed off from the rest of the world, and the Matsuura Domain, which operated the port of Hirado, certainly had such telescopes invented by the Western-style people.

"Yikes! The opposite fleet is clearly a Ming general, but why is the armor not the right outfit, and it is full of personnel and goods, where is this going? ”

The commander of the Matsuura Domain's water division, Tagawa Guard, a retainer of Matsuura Takanobu, looked down at the clairvoyant mirror and couldn't help muttering to himself.

In fact, Yang Wenli has always looked down on the power of the Matsuura Domain, and the Matsuura family is just a 60,000-stone daimyo who is still subservient to the Daimyo Ryuzoji family on Kyushu Island!

The daimyo of 60,000 stone can only send about 2,000 troops during the war, and this fleet of Tagawa Guardian Gate is already the entire strength of the Matsuura family, if it is three or two ships, then he must have fought without negotiation.

He also has to guard against other powerful daimyo annexing Hizen Province! Of course, it is impossible to fight with the Black Armor Army, a large fleet of more than 200 ships, and he led the fleet here just to monitor and prevent the Black Armor Army, a powerful fleet that suddenly appeared, from invading Yiqi Island.

Therefore, the two armies traveled together at a distance of several nautical miles, until the Black Armor Army fleet sailed out of the sea area of Iki Island, and Tagawa Beimon ordered the fleet to turn around and go back to resume its life.
