"Say! What exactly do you want to do when you buy so many weapons at once? ”
"I tell you, don't play tricks on me, if what you say is the slightest mistake with the others, I'll cut off your hands and feet at once, and throw you into the sea!"
"If you tell me honestly, I will let you live......"
Zhuo Shijie isolated several important leaders on the Japanese merchant ships, and then interrogated them one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a forced confession with both hard and soft, Zhuo Shijie finally learned a little bit of the inside story.
After the disastrous defeat of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the war against Korea, the Tokugawa shogunate gained the de facto rule of the Japanese kingdom and began to recuperate and recuperate.
After decades of accumulation, the third shogun, Tokugawa Ieaki, began to stir again.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was like a dangerous egg, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were running around the Ming Dynasty and attacking the city.
In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has experienced natural disasters, floods, droughts, and locust plagues...... Hunger people everywhere are everywhere, and hunger is full of wilderness......
In the north, the Houjin regime in Liaodong was aggressive, and for more than 20 years, they had gradually grown from scabies in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty to a big tumor, and they kept attacking the Ming border, which made the Ming feel pressure.
Tokugawa Ieaki felt that he had finally waited for the most favorable time to send troops.
He now has hundreds of warships in his hands, a sea force that no one dares to underestimate.
If these ships are refurbished and the soldiers are equipped with the most advanced firearms, then the time to send troops to Korea will surely yield a lot of gains.
These two ships were heading to Luzon to negotiate arms deals with the Spaniards.
Zhuo Shijie secretly scolded in his heart, this Japanese is really insidious enough.
At this time, if the Japanese sent troops to Korea, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Later Jin, they would definitely be extremely jealous of the Japanese people, because this was a new force.
The Ming Dynasty was already too busy to take care of itself, and at this time, it was already separated from North Korea, so of course it was impossible to send troops to help North Korea.
Then Jin was even more embarrassed, if the Japanese people participated in the war, they would inevitably fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, and they could not take care of the end of the war.
To put it bluntly, if the Japanese attacked Korea at this time, they would have come to take advantage of the fire to rob and pick a bargain.
If the Wa State grasped the timing of sending troops, then they only needed to defeat the weak Korean army, and they could occupy Korea generously under the noses of the Ming and Houjin.
In the country of North Korea, Zhuo Shijie has no feelings for them, but if the Japanese State occupies the Korean Peninsula, it will undoubtedly be an extra hungry wolf on the side of the couch for the whole of China.
Zhuo Shijie didn't want to take care of this matter at the moment, and let him take two gunboats to help North Korea fight the Japanese state? He doesn't have the time now, and he doesn't have the ability to do it.
However, Zhuo Shijie accepted the gold and silver of the weapons purchased by the Japanese State disrespectfully.
"Lift all these boxes onto our gunboats!" Zhuo Shijie waved his hand and asked his subordinates to start moving things.
The faces of these widows on the ship were as white as earth, but they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Sanada finally had a seizure, he stood up sharply and yelled, "Yaga! These gold and silver were handed over to me by the Shogun himself, and I swear to live and die with them! ”
Zhuo Shijie stepped forward with a smile and gently patted Sanada's cheek with his hand: "Not bad!" You are quite loyal, I originally wanted to kill you, I thought you were a loyal person, this time I will let you go, and everyone else, I will also let you go! ”
When all the widows heard this, their faces showed expressions of joy for the rest of their lives.
Sanada didn't appreciate it, and still shouted, "I swear to live and die with them!" ”
Zhuo Shijie kicked him to the ground: "Aren't you just afraid of being killed by your master!" Go back and tell you the general, this commander will not change his name, he will not change his surname, Zhuo Shijie is also! ”
He pointed to the soldiers behind him with his hand: "They are the commander's heavenly army troops, you can go back and report to your general, if he is brave enough, he can send a fleet at any time to retrieve your gold and silver treasures from our heavenly army troops!" ”
He pointed to the Black Wind Island in the distance and said, "That Black Wind Island is my Zhuo Shijie's home, you are welcome to come whenever you want!" ”
Sanada was already determined to fight to the death, but after listening to Zhuo Shijie's words, he dispelled his previous thoughts.
"This guy doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he actually told the location of the lair, hum! All I have to do is report back to the Admiral, and then lead the fleet to come, and then ......"
Sanada felt that he was desperate to survive, and he had no will to die, and the bullish momentum just now was gone, and he squatted on the ground again.
However, Zhuo Shijie spoke again: "Remember, I give you three pillars of incense time to run away, and after the three pillars of incense, I will launch an attack on your ships!" But don't be afraid, our ships will attack you and will not chase you! ”
When the widows who had just relaxed heard this, they all panicked, and some of them had already run to operate the ship and prepare to sail.
Sanada was teased several times, and couldn't help but scream again: "You don't believe in your words!" Didn't you just say you were going to let us go? ”
Zhuo Shijie made a sad expression and spread his hands: "No way, I'm not too bored!" ”
"You don't talk about credit! You Ming people don't talk about trust! Sanada shouted.
Zhuo Shijie shook his head and smiled: "Do you have credit with your widows?" I'm not in the habit of that. ”
After speaking, he took everyone to board his own gunboat, and watched the Japanese people on the two boats busy with his subordinates.
Hong Zhi walked over and asked suspiciously, "Big Master, uh, Commander, why did you expose our Black Wind Island to them?" ”
Zhuo Shijie smiled: "Don't you think our soldiers need to conduct actual combat training?" Let them see the big scene more, so that they can grow up quickly. ”
"High!" Hong Zhi hurriedly patted the horse's ass, and then asked, "Then why are you shelling them again?" If they are all wiped out, who will report to their generals? ”
"Give the order to go down, sink one, release the other, and let them go back to report the news!" Zhuo Shijie immediately ordered.
In this way, they realize that life is not easy! Ha ha...... Don't ask me why I'm doing this, because I'm just just having fun. ”
The two gunboats on Zhuo Shijie's side were already in full array, and the muzzles of the guns were pointing at the two Japanese merchant ships from afar.
The mainmast of the Japanese merchant ship was broken, and it was a wishful thinking to try to run out of the range of the gunboat's guns in the time of three pillars of incense.
But in order to survive, they all tried their best, using all means to make the ship run a little faster.
"Quick! It's almost time for the three-pillar incense! Their gunboats have a long range, hurry up! ”
"Da Ming, I swear to you that I will not stand on the other side!"
"When our general sends a warship, see if I don't pick your skin!"
These widows were anxious and angry, and they scolded endlessly.
"Boom!"
As soon as the cannon rang out, all the Japanese stopped and looked at the two gunboats in the distance.
"Fire! They really opened fire! ”
"It's over! We're all going to die here today! ”
However, the Japanese soon discovered that the shells had not hit their merchant ships, but had hit the sea not far from them, and had struck a series of water columns.
"Run! Their artillery is not accurate! ”
"Quick! Full left rudder to dodge the starboard shells! ”
Hope rose again in the hearts of the Japanese people.
When the two sides first met at sea, the other party's artillery hit with great accuracy, breaking their masts at once, and now it suddenly became inaccurate, does it mean that the other side did not want to sink them at all, but to scare them?
Just in his heart, two shells hit, right on the side of the ship!
The Japanese people were frightened again, the other party was playing for real!
However, fortunately, it only hit the side of the ship, and the hull of the ship was not fatally damaged, and it did not affect the driving for the time being.
It seems, is this still the other party deliberately scaring them?
The Japanese people are not roundworms in Zhuo Shijie's stomach, how can they know his bad taste?
Cat and mouse!
Yes, what Zhuo Shijie is playing now is a game of cat and mouse.
Give them hope, then shatter that hope with your own hands, and then give him a little bit of hope, and then make them despair.
Again and again, he wandered between hope and despair, and finally, one of the ships of the Wa Kingdom finally sank to the bottom of the sea.
And the other boat did not go to rescue the compatriots on the sunken ship, at this time, they also thought that they were rats waiting to be killed, and they only hated short legs when they ran, where was there time to save others!
It wasn't until they ran far, far away under the pursuit of the shells, that someone finally understood what was going on.
"Baga ......" As soon as a Japanese man opened his mouth to scold, he couldn't scold anymore, and he actually cried and wiped his tears.
"It's too bullying!"
