Chapter 505: Preparing to Let the Wa Kingdom Disappear
After the Red Embedded City and the Gelanza City were breached by the Ming Dynasty, it meant that the southern gate of the treasure island had been completely opened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In other words, the Franco-Robot and the Red Ghost who still occupy other cities on Taiwan 0 Bay Island have been completely unable to stop the process of Daming's recovery of Taiwan 0 Bay Island.
In addition, the bloody massacre of the Red Fan Ghost by the Ming army after occupying the Red Nest City and the Relanza City also greatly caused panic among the Red Fan Ghost and the Franco-Robot in other places.
The Red Fan Ghost and Franc Robot in these places took the initiative to evacuate this area without waiting for the Ming East China Sea Fleet to attack the northern part of Taiwan 0wan Island, and directly bypassed Luzon Island and went to the Indian Peninsula.
At the same time, Chen Qi has also been appointed by Zhu Youxiao as the prefect of Taiwan and began to formally incorporate Taiwan 0 Bay into the Ming administrative system.
As for the Gaoshan tribe in Taiwan 0 Bay, Chen Qiyu immediately joined forces with the local Han people to reorganize the household registration of these Gaoshan tribes, and immediately banned the enslavement education carried out by the Red Fan Ghost or the Franc Machine people, and officially taught them with Confucianism and Taoism.
At the same time, the Penghu branch of the East China Sea Fleet was also officially stationed in Chichicheng, and continued to expand the military port here, and a larger dock will also be built, after all, the Daming shipbuilding situation in Jinmen alone is no longer enough for the entire Daming demand for ships.
The Western Fan, represented by the Franc Machine and the Red Fan Ghost, naturally did not dare to be driven out of the Daming Sea like this, and the tough measures shown by the Ming Dynasty since the forcible recovery of Macao had already aroused their great dissatisfaction, and now the important trading base of Taiwan 0 Bay Island was also recovered by the Ming Dynasty, which made these Western fans have to admit that they have reached the point of a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, they will be completely driven out of the entire South China Sea.
In this way, they will lose the entire East Asian maritime trade market, and the Ming Dynasty will completely monopolize the trade of glass, steel, firearms, tobacco and other goods in this area, completely squeezing the living space of Western fans.
Originally, before that, because the Ming Dynasty had entered the era of steam industry, its production of industrial products had a huge impact on the imported products brought by the entire Western Ocean.
Originally, the Western countries were in a trade deficit with the Ming Dynasty because of the large demand for tea, porcelain, and silk, and they all relied on the sale of glass and other industrial products to the Ming Dynasty and the colonial plunder in the Ming Sea to grab profits, and now the industrial products of the Ming Dynasty have completely made them unable to make profits in the Ming market by selling glass and other industrial products, and now it is the opportunity of colonial plunder that the Ming Dynasty has seized.
And now the whole world, in addition to his own Western Europe, is only the Ming Dynasty and its surrounding countries, at this time the Americas are still barren, so if the loss of the South Seas this marine market, then it means that the Western Ocean will not be able to make profits in global marine trade, and the Western countries, especially the Franc and Hongfan, England and other maritime powers have to face financial difficulties, and may even lead to regime overthrow.
Therefore, these Westerners are unwilling to sit idly by and watch the Ming Dynasty encroach on the Nanyang market step by step, nor are they willing to let a super empire like the Ming Dynasty plunder their colonies so unscrupulously.
You must know that the construction of a colony also requires a cost, and now the Ming Dynasty has taken away the colonial city they built so robberly, and directly opened up its own colonial career on it.
For example, when they learned that the Ming Dynasty directly used Relan to cover the city, the red embedded city, and the Taiwan city. Anping City and other cities were built as the foundation of prefectures and counties, but a large number of cross church buildings were demolished, and a large number of Han and Gaoshan tribes they despised were relocated to the palatial manors they built.
Therefore, politicians in the Western Europa began to advocate that the countries of Europa form a joint fleet and set up a joint command to jointly fight against the Ming Empire, which gradually became the biggest threat to the sea.
As for how Europa's Western Fan discussed organizing a combined fleet against the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire did not show much concern about this at this time, because the Ming Dynasty at this time was desperately managing the Ming Sea and other nearby seas where he had just gained absolute control of the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao decided to take Macao, Java Island, Taiwan 0 Bay and other bases to officially build this sea area into the first stronghold in the Ming Dynasty Marine Era.
In order to further consolidate the Ming Dynasty's control over this sea area and its trade monopoly position, the Ming Dynasty also ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Wen Tiren to immediately send a note to Annan and force Annan to lease Saigon to the Ming Dynasty at a low price of 3,000 silver dollars, which was to be operated by the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.
Annan naturally knew that Daming wanted him to forcibly cede Saigon to Daming, and Annan also refused, but he couldn't stand Daming's threat that if he couldn't lease Saigon, he would revisit the matter of Chengzu setting Annan as Annan's political envoy, and for this reason, the Ministry of War also specially ordered the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard Army to enter Yunnan.
Although Saigon was a natural harbor on the Annam Peninsula and a pivotal place to control the important passages of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Annam could not resist the Ming Dynasty's persecution and leased Saigon to the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, Daming has bases in the east, west, north and south directions of the Daming Sea, and has completely achieved a situation where the enemy can be supported everywhere.
Moreover, in this, Java Island will serve as a frontier station for the Ming Dynasty to enter the South Seas, especially to occupy the Strait of Malacca in the east, and control the entire South Sea trade.
……
Nowadays, the north of the Ming Dynasty has obtained the vast land of Siberia, and the south has completely officially turned the Ming Sea into the Ming Inland Sea, and the expansion of the entire empire at this stage has almost reached saturation.
In other words, before the decisive battle with the Western countries, the center of the Ming Dynasty will temporarily shift from military expansion to the stage of economic construction and the establishment of the Han cultural system.
But before entering this stage of construction within three or five years, Daming still has to open the door of a country, in order to use the wealth of this country as the economic foundation for the construction of Daming Sea.
This kingdom is naturally a Wa kingdom.
Not to mention, Zhu Youxiao already harbored the deepest hostility towards this country, that is, in today's era, this country has repeatedly offended the Ming Dynasty, and even caused a certain degree of damage to the Ming Dynasty.
In particular, the Wako Rebellion in the Jiajing period and the Korean War in the Wanli period caused a huge financial burden to the Ming Dynasty.
Now, although this country has entered the shogunate era, an era of seclusion and self-style, it is still a relatively powerful country in East Asia, and its market size is still considerable, especially after the Imjin War, which swept away the wealth accumulated in Korea for hundreds of years.
The Ming Dynasty spent a lot of effort because of the Renchen War, although it was not possible to find the badly injured North Korea to recover the losses, but now it is necessary to find the Japanese state to compensate for the loss.
In short, if the Ming Dynasty wants to completely open the entire East Asian marine market, it must open the door of the Wa Kingdom, of course, considering that this country is a perverted country, he has never given up his continental dream, and now it is the time when it is weak, if the Ming Dynasty does not take advantage of this time to eliminate it, Bi will become a major threat to the Ming Empire in the future.
As a result, less than half a year after occupying Taiwan 0 Bay, the Daming East China Sea Fleet entered the area around Feiqian on the pretext of exterminating the remnants of the Zheng pirate group.
When the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom knew about it, it immediately sent 30,000 horses to block it, and these 30,000 horses were considered elite in the Wa Kingdom, and they were all relatively good warriors, so in the eyes of the Tokugawa Shogunate, these 30,000 horses were enough to block the Ming East Sea Fleet outside Nagato.
And when the Ming East Sea Fleet arrived around Feng, it happened to encounter the 30,000 horses sent by the Tokugawa shogunate to block the Ming East Sea Fleet.
However, Qin Botong, the chief officer of the East China Sea Fleet, was very stunned, because the 30,000 horses they saw were generally short, and they seemed to be standing on the land like a group of children.
Although the momentum is quite strong, but in the end, because of his height, Qin Botong is a little unable to do it, he feels that if he blows up countless cannonballs, will he blow up all these child-like dwarfs into meat puree.
At the same time, the 30,000 horses of the Japanese country were also a little stunned at this time, because they had never seen such a large ship and such a large cannon port, but under the order of the commander, they still roared and rushed towards the Ming East China Sea Fleet, which was about to anchor and dock.
Qin Botong didn't know that these Japanese people were generally short in height, so he mistakenly thought that these Japanese people were used to using children as soldiers, but when he saw these Japanese child soldiers rushing towards him, he still directly ordered the ship's artillery to adjust the close fire and sweep the 30,000 horses.
For a time, the sound of artillery was really loud, and the rapid artillery directly beat the 30,000 troops of the rushing Japanese State to the ground, forcing the 30,000 troops of these Japanese States to stop the pace of the charge, and began to look for cover and prepare for a decisive battle with these Ming troops after they disembarked and landed.
Sure enough, after Qin Botong personally brought more than 5,000 marines from the East China Sea Fleet ashore, the men and horses of the Japanese Kingdom immediately emerged from among the four stone ravines, and prepared to immediately use firearms to deal with Qin Botong and other Ming troops.
But at this time, Qin Botong and other marines had already launched an attack first, and the firing rifles in their hands quickly shot these Japanese soldiers to the ground one by one, fast and continuous, so that these Japanese soldiers had no chance to fight back at all.
Some Japanese soldiers were unwilling to simply pull out their katana and rushed directly towards Qin Botong and the others, but they were still beaten into a sieve by the rapidly fired bullets.
After a short contact battle, the 30,000 elites of the Wa Kingdom were completely defeated, and they were directly defeated without losing confidence at the cost of not hurting a single enemy, and fled to Nagato in a hurry.
Qin Botong's Marines were also able to reach the northern shore of Shikoku Island, just across a narrow strait from Nagato, where Zheng Zhilong's remnants were concentrated.
However, Qin Botong did not rush to land in Changmen, but immediately sent a document back to Beijing, stating that Zhu Youxiao, the son of today's great tomorrow, said that the Japanese State ignored the dignity of the Ming Dynasty and sent troops to murder Qin Botong, the chief officer of the Ming fleet, and took in the giant Zheng Zhilong and other crimes.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao naturally showed great anger, and immediately mobilized troops and horses to send them to the Wa Kingdom, so as to achieve the goal of completely destroying the Wa State.
As a result, the Ministry of War had already taken out the long-prepared battle plan for destroying the Japanese state and preventing the Japanese from continuing to rebel, and began to transport the Third Army of the Praetorian Guards, which had already been mobilized to the area around Denglai, and the First Army of the Ming Janissary Army, which had already been partially transported to the area around Jeju Island through the North Sea Fleet, to the area of Hisaki and Mabong, ready to launch a larger-scale attack on the Tokugawa shogunate at any time.
In this era, without the control of the so-called international organizations, the Ming Dynasty can also annex or eliminate a country at will, so that this country or nation will not have a chance to rise in this world, and can even let this country disappear directly to avoid bringing greater disasters to the world in the future.
This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao immediately transferred the First Army and the Third Army of the Praetorian Guard to take over the city of the Wa Kingdom captured by the Ming East China Sea Fleet, not only the Praetorian Guard, but even the border army Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Zhou Yuji, etc. were also transferred here by Zhu Youxiao to prepare for a large-scale, stricter and bloodier battle of extermination.
Moreover, in order to hide this history, Zhu Youxiao simply issued a secret order before this, that is, the dispatch of these elites of the Ming Dynasty was completely unknown to anyone in the country, except for Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang of the Ministry of War, almost no one knew where the two aces of the Praetorian Guard and several elites of the border army had gone.
The reason for keeping it secret is to prevent the people of the Great Ming Dynasty in the country from knowing that their army is doing the most inhuman thing but has to do it.
At this time, Qin Botong had already begun to implement Zhu Youxiao's secret decree, that is, to start a dragnet-style physical extermination of the Japanese people in the area before and after Feng.
The Marines are not in a hurry to capture Nagato now, because not to mention that the Zheng pirate group is also deeply entrenched in this area, and there is still a certain amount of power, even if the East China Sea Fleet can defeat them now, it must also keep them for the time being, so that the Tokugawa shogunate will continue to mistakenly think that the Ming Dynasty is increasing troops to his Japanese kingdom because it is to deal with the remnants of Zheng Zhilong and carry out certain revenge on his Japanese state, and will not be fully prepared, so as to prepare for the Ming Dynasty to wipe out all the Japanese kingdom from the human world.
And the Marines of the East China Sea Fleet now only have to help the army first clear some Japanese people, they began to hunt and kill Japanese slaves frantically in the area around Feng, according to the policy of not letting go of one, almost every Japanese slave before and after Feng was wiped out by the marines of the Ming East China Sea Fleet.
The Tokugawa shogunate also knew about the atrocities of the East China Sea Fleet marines before and after Feng, but he had nothing to do but be angry, and knew that his shogunate was now Zheng Zhilong, who could not provoke the Ming court and could not be hot, so the Tokugawa shogunate simply evacuated a large number of elite soldiers directly to the area of its Japanese capital, and let the Ming fleet fight against Zheng Zhilong.
However, at this time, the Janissaries and border troops were also concentrated in Chikusaki, which means that the Tokugawa shogunate, which was still in the dark, did not know that the destruction of his Japanese kingdom was about to come again.
