Chapter 032: A Merchant Ship of the Mysterious Mission

(Thank you Feng Xinying, a student party, and a look at the rewards of the three students in Hehefen!) Thank you! )

The world in which Zhuo Shijie lives now is not exactly the same as the history he knew before, and some of its trends have deviated from the original historical trajectory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, there have been some changes in the development process of the Japanese state.

Its changes began with a naval battle more than forty years ago.

In the history of China, the largest naval battle was not the First Sino-Japanese War, but the Battle of Luliang.

It's the same as fighting against the Japanese state, but the victory or defeat is not the same.

After the unification of the Wa Kingdom, the ambitious Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately formulated a war plan against the Ming Dynasty non-stop.

As before, they used Korea as a springboard and launched an attack on Korea in 1592.

North Korea was defeated, hurriedly summoned the suzerainty of the Ming father to come to GANK, when the Japanese army had occupied the capital of Korea, and approached the Ming mainland, the Ming army was late, and the Japanese army fought several times, each had a victory, and finally both sides were exhausted, had to negotiate a truce.

After the two sides signed a ceasefire agreement, they each withdrew their troops, and this result was a great thing for both the rulers of both sides and the common people of both countries.

Unfortunately, the situation suddenly changed.

Speaking of this day......

When I got up in the morning, Emperor Wanli, who didn't brush his teeth, accidentally broke his head by the door when he went out, and somehow, he suddenly wanted to canonize Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a king and include the Wa Kingdom in his tributary system.

Wanli thought so: I asked you to be my son of the Ming Dynasty, so you still have to bow thousands of times, Xie Daddy Longen?

How do you know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually didn't appreciate it, and he also tore up the armistice agreement in anger, led the national navy warships, and rushed straight to North Korea again, putting on a posture that I am not your son, not only will I not be your son, but I will also let you be my son.

North Korea: Who the am I messing with again!

No way, let's fight!

How could North Korea be able to defeat the Wa State?

The Japanese state inflicted heavy losses on the Korean navy and almost mastered all the sea supremacy.

(The so-called poetic and historical giant naval battle blockbuster "The Battle of Mingliang" filmed by South Korea a while ago took place during this period.) It was just a small resistance battle, but they made it into a decisive battle that changed the fate of the country. )

The North Korean Navy was disabled, and had no choice but to call Daming's father again to support.

This time, the Ming Dynasty learned from the experience of the last time, and transferred 600 naval warships from the south, plus more than 100 small ships from North Korea, to fight against more than 500 warships (some records say more than 300, some records say 7 or 800) warships.

The warships on both sides come and go, and there have been countless battles of all sizes, due to the superiority of the Ming army, and the advantage of relying on the homeland, the Japanese state gradually became weak.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who made a desperate bet and sent the strength of the country to cross the sea on an expedition, saw that there was no hope of victory, and he was sick and sad, and his last life was whimpering!

After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy, Jinlin, commanded all the departments to block the retreat of the Japanese navy that had no intention of fighting, and forced the other party to have to carry out the final decisive battle.

This was the largest naval battle in Chinese history - the Battle of Luliang.

In this battle, more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of warships were wiped out, and in the end, only more than 50 warships escaped from the Japanese state (there are also records that only a dozen escaped), and it can almost be said that the entire army was wiped out.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was already in its twilight years, and its national strength was weak, but even so, it still defeated the Japanese navy, which was in full swing.

Originally, Yang Lan should have been a famous Chinese general at the level of Yue Fei, but unfortunately, on the North Korean side, because of the fragile self-esteem of the subject country, he deliberately did not mention this matter, and then completely forgot about it.

In China, due to the change of dynasties, the Qing Dynasty was also reluctant to publicize the merits of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, in the 20th century, the Chinese people were afraid of touching the chord of chauvinism of the great powers, and they also deliberately avoided it.

In this way, Yang Lan was buried in the dust of history.

On the contrary, Yi Sunsin became a great national hero of North Korea.

In Zhuo Shijie's original world history, after this battle, the whole people suddenly became weak and collapsed. From then on, the Wa Kingdom under the leadership of the Tokugawa shogunate closed the country, and it was not until the 19th century that European countries forcibly pried open the country with steel gunboats, and then there was a complete Westernization of the Meiji Restoration.

However, in this world, after the death of Toyoshi Hideyoshi, the result of the power struggle fell into the hands of a general who had the same sea power thinking as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The Japanese did not adopt a policy of closing the country to the outside world, but still opened up the sea routes and greatly promoted trade.

However, after the Battle of Luliang, the Wa Kingdom also seemed to know the power of the Ming Dynasty, and no longer dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty easily. Even when their merchant ships were sailing on the sea, they saw the ships of the Ming Dynasty and respectfully retreated.

Now, the two Japanese merchant ships that were sailing on the sea immediately discussed whether they should avoid them after seeing the two strange-looking ships in front of them.

"Yaga! When we see a boat, it's Daming's, and when we see a boat, it's still Ming's, and we've avoided it three times today! ”

"However, the tempers of the Ming people are very hot, in case they get angry, how can we eat it?"

"Humph! The Ming Dynasty is coming to an end! Where do they still have such a big fire! ”

A man dressed as a samurai leaning on the side of the ship, hearing them speak, suddenly snorted coldly: "After shouting Da Ming for decades, isn't Da Ming still good?" A group of guys who only know how to fight verbally, if they want to destroy the Ming Dynasty, we samurai have to do it! ”

As soon as the samurai spoke, all those people made a promise, and no one dared to refute it.

The Wa Kingdom divided the society into four classes: "scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants", with scholars being the highest and merchants being the lowest.

Although the samurai is the lowest class of the class, they are also scholars, and they are not known to be higher than the lowest merchants.

"I think it's better to avoid it! This time, we put the big things first, and we can't spoil the big things of my general. This majestic samurai, after much consideration, finally decided to proceed carefully.

At this time, Zhuo Shijie, who was standing on the front deck of the gunboat, was holding a telescope and looking at the Japanese merchant ship in front.

Zhuo Shijie in this life hates the Japanese people more than Zhuo Shijie in the previous life.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaded the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty from time to time (the facts will be described later), and they did all kinds of evil, and Zhuo Shijie's ancestors had the whole family die at the hands of the Japanese invaders.

Seeing that the feud was in front of him, Zhuo Shijie did not directly order the other party to be wiped out, he just asked Anne to break the mast on the other party's ship first.

Anne obeyed the order, and aimed her 25mm naval guns at the Japanese merchants, and then immediately opened fire.

The two Japanese merchant ships, with a diameter of more than one meter thick mainmast, accompanied by the sound of dense cannons, collapsed with a bang.
