Lingshanwei is located in the southeast of the Shandong Peninsula, closest to Shandong, and the next day Li Long came to Lingshanwei Pier under the leadership of Myron and John Tang. Two large Dutch ships docked at Lingshanwei Pier. Dozens of German mercenaries were on guard on the ship.

"My lord, you are here, Father Yunlai's weapons are all on the ship, I thought I would send someone to take care of it, just wait for the adults to come and accept it" Zhu Fulei, as the general of the three guards, of course, will bear the brunt of maintaining the safety here in his own territory.

"Thanks to the adults, go up and have a look," Li Long said

When he came to the ship, a cannon was covered with a rain cloth and placed on the deck, and when he walked into the warehouse, a smell of urine came, and Li Long came to the warehouse with the smell of stench, and there were wooden boxes in the warehouse. Father John Tong told Li Long in English: "These are loaded muskets and projectiles"

Li Long found a crowbar and opened a box, which was neatly arranged with smoothbore guns, which were unrifled guns with no rifling in the barrel. Smoothbore guns were popular after the Middle Ages, but due to the limited scientific and technological conditions at that time, the firing range was relatively limited, about 200 meters. And it exposed the problem of insufficient accuracy (the caliber of its chamber is larger than the caliber of the bullet), inferior to the original rifled gun (the rifling of which is straight). But Li Long asked Xu Guangqi, a master of firearms, and said that no one could carve rifling at this time. No way, Chinese smoothbore guns are not as good as Europe, so just pay a lot of money to import them from Europe.

Li Long picked up a smoothbore gun and walked out of the cabin, came to the deck, it was quite heavy, about six or seven catties, and then he wanted to come gunpowder, load it with gunpowder, and press the projectile. Aim at the flag on top of the sail and gently pull the trigger. "Smack". The flags on the flagpole echoed the sound,

"My lord is really good marksmanship," John Tang exclaimed, and if he had seen the 95 automatic rifle used by Li Long, he would have been even more surprised.

In the days that followed, Li Long ordered all the weapons to be transported to the Qingzhou military camp and distributed to the soldiers. The shotgun has changed. It turns out to be an old-fashioned fire gun, a three-eyed gun, a god gun, and a rumi gun. You can all leave the stage. In their place were smoothbore guns. The old Franc cannon equipped by the Ming army was also replaced by the advanced long-barreled cannon of Western Europe.

The troops, after changing their weapons, underwent assault training in shooting. The officers have personally demonstrated the use of the new smoothbore gun, in fact, the new smoothbore gun is also a type of arquebus. A more complete smoothbore arquebus was born. The fire rope used in the musket is made of fine twine or cotton thread put into potassium nitrate solution and boiled or soaked in wood ash and lime concentrated alkali solution, which can be slowly smoldered without flame.

Training musketeers is different from training heavy cavalry. It is true that the cost of heavy cavalry and the decline in its value for money after the rise of the arquebus: the cost of equipping one heavy knight is equivalent to the cost of four spearmen or musketeers. However, the training of a heavy cavalry has to be done from an early age, and the training process of a noble heavy cavalry is very long. Training a musketeer can take as little as seven days......

In half a month, you will be able to master all the shooting skills of muskets.

Beginning on June 10, Lee Long's army began assault training. Contact shooting muskets, artillery. The technique of three-stage shooting, three-stage shot, a method of shooting quickly and continuously. Divide the firing troops into 3 teams, 1 team shoots, 2 teams equipped, and 3 teams load ammunition (arrows) ready to shoot. In fact, it is equivalent to dividing the large forces into 3 divisions for "three shifts" of shooting. At that time, although the arquebus was more powerful than the bow and crossbow, after the musket was shot, it had to go through the gunpowder, put in the lead pellet, draw the strip from under the barrel, ram the lead pellet and gunpowder, light the arquebus to aim at the enemy, and occasionally clean the gun hole after shooting, so it took about a minute to put a shot, and the enemy who fought at close range after the shot would charge (especially the cavalry), and the musket team would suffer great losses. Therefore, the Western countries have come up with a method of warfare, the musket team is divided into three rows, the first row shoots after the second row shoots, the second row shoots after the second row shoots, the first row and the third row exchange positions, and the rear is loaded with gunpowder, etc., after the second row is fired, the third row fires, the second row exchanges positions with the first row at the beginning, replenishes ammunition, and the third row shoots after the first row shoots, so that the cycle will be cycled, and the interval time is greatly shortened.

Li Long's three-stage attack was different from that of the Ming army, and he adopted the three-stage attack invented by Oda Nobunaga of Japan, that is, the first person fired, the second person added gunpowder and projectiles, and the third person tamped lead shots and gunpowder at the same time. This only requires a person who shoots accurately, and can aim all the time, and it is said that passing a gun is also faster than a person changing positions.

In this way, during training, everyone has to learn how to load ammunition and how to hand guns. How to aim. This accelerates the speed of the gun even more.

The same is true for artillery training, firing when there is a suspicion, that is, when the first row of guns is fired, the second row is loaded with ammunition. When the second row fires, the first row is reloaded. Try to keep the artillery fire on the ground.

After more than half a month of training, the musketeers and artillery men were basically able to master the methods of operation. Moreover, it can be very good against interference, and in the case of rumbling cannons, you can still calmly shoot, aim and other actions.

Qingzhou Mansion, Wuding Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, Jinan Mansion, most of the castles of the four mansions have been built. After the replacement of the long-barreled cannon, the field troops gave the replaced Franc cannon to the turret of the castle. Li Zhizao was also very happy, and he was worried that there was no place to get a small cannon to equip the turret. After this period of rushing work, the navy ships of the generals have already begun to go to the sea to test the waters. The huge 8,000-material Zheng He was finally restored. The giant ship more than 100 meters long is rampant on the sea, like a whale appearing. The ribbon-cutting ceremony of Zheng He's launching was attended by Li Long, Chen Yuanyuan, Zeng Yingying, Zeng Hualong, Wang Ying and other Shandong dignitaries.

Christian churches were also built under Li Long's promise, and John Tang set up his office in Daming in the church in Qingzhou Mansion.

In terms of looking at the imperial court, four letters of urging have been sent in a row, boasting that Li Long should quickly send troops to Korea, as if Yi Sunsin of North Korea had suffered a defeat.

On July 10, Li Long led 10,000 soldiers, leaving the general Liu Shubao to lead 5,000 troops to defend Shandong. Li Long led Yang Dali, the general Zhang Cheng, the general Chen Jixiang garrisoned, Fanqing garrisoned, Wang Guangfu garrisoned, Zhang Songsong and 10,000 soldiers boarded the two Zheng He giant ships, and at the same time there were ten 2,000 Dafu ships and 10 3,000 galleons.

In order to facilitate the counting, we do not use the material of the Ming Dynasty as a unit, but change it to tons. One material is equal to 0.9 tons. In other words, the Zheng He is 7,800 tons, the Daifuku is 1,800 tons, and the galleon is 2,700 tons.

In this trip to Japan, Li Long used two Zheng He, ten galleons and ten Daifuku ships, with a total tonnage of 60,000 tons. It's the equivalent of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the 21st century.

After the fleet left the Lingshan Guard, it headed straight south. Someone asked why North Korea's fleet went south when it went out to the north of Shandong. Is he stupid? Don't you know how long it will take?

Of course he knew......

In the early morning of July 25. The two treasure ships are each 138 meters long and 56 meters wide. It can carry 1,000 soldiers. It is equipped with 20 red-coated cannons and 80 large Franc cannons. There were 1,000 smoothbore guns and a ship height of 46 meters, which was simply beyond the reach of small Japan.

The main force of the sailing ship, tall, with a head high and a tail cocked, sailing fast, not afraid of wind and waves. The tree is 3 masts, the main mast is 4 zhang high, the length of the ship is 20 zhang, the cabin is 5 floors, the ship is as high as the city, it can accommodate 300 people, it is equipped with 8 Hongyi cannons, and 40 thousand catties of Buddha Lang machines.

Daifuku ship, tall and tall, the bottom is pointed up, the head is raised and the tail is warped, the tree is 2 masts, the cabin is 3 floors, the ship is set up as high as the city, and there is a guard plate next to it. Soldiers take cover behind them and shoot arrows at enemy ships, throwing fireballs, fire bricks, and fire barrels. And with the wind and the river crashed and sank the boat. The bow of the ship is equipped with 4 Hongyi cannons, 24 jack franc machines, and can accommodate 200 soldiers, all of which are equipped with smoothbore guns.

In addition, there were sixty medium-sized warships, and medium-sized ships could accommodate 50 each. A total of 10,000 people.

The treasure ships are Baochuan No. 1 and Baochuan No. 2. The galleons were Qingzhou, captain Admiral Zhang, and Jinan captain Admiral Chen. Yanzhou, Captain Fan Garrison, Dengzhou, Captain Zhang Garrison, Laizhou Captain Liu Xiyun Liu Garrison, Dongchang, Captain Zheng Garrison, Wuding, Captain Hu Wenbin Hu Garrison. The captain of the Jeju is Cao Garrison, the Yizhou is Huang Garrison, and the Caozhou Zhao Garrison is garrisoned. Li Long named this powerful fleet the Chinese Invincible Armada.

On this night at the end of July, the city of Nagasaki in Kyushu, Japan, was brightly lit, and in order to land in Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi appointed Oda Nobuyoshi, the younger brother of Oda Nobuhari, to organize the movement of troops and horses in Nagasaki, and of the 500,000 troops mobilized by Japan, 150,000 had already landed on the territory of Korea, and most of the remaining 350,000 were concentrated in Nagasaki, and countless large and small battlefields were concentrated on the docks of Nagasaki. Another pair of Japanese soldiers were ready to board the ship and set off for Korea. The general is Tanaka Kinichi, a fierce general who fought in the bloody battle on the battlefield.

These 30,000 soldiers are about to go to the Korean battlefield again, and I hope everyone will return from victory as soon as possible: "Although Tanaka Kinichi is a fierce general on the battlefield, he is not optimistic about the invasion of North Korea, because the invasion of North Korea will inevitably compete with the Ming Dynasty."

Although now a powerful nation has emerged in the north of Korea, the Jurchens. But the Jurchens are also a people who are keen on aggression, and have already invaded Korea twice. But it didn't work out.

North Korea's ancient missiles were so powerful that it only took five people to defeat tens of thousands of Qing soldiers (taken from a South Korean movie "Divine Arrow", which was to mock North Korea's arrogance),

The Jurchens' Jin Ge Iron Horse could not conquer Korea, so what about Japan, and whether Japan was the opponent of the Jurchens in field warfare, of course not. Why is Lord Sewanbai so enthusiastic about invading Korea?

"Get on the boat, get on the boat" The Japanese officer of the rank of junior officer ordered the soldiers to hurry up and get on the ship, and they were going to leave for Korea tonight. Pairs of ashigaru spears stepped onto the deck of the warship one by one. The warship mentioned was actually just a small ship of about 100 tons for the Ming army. A small boat that is 20 meters long and no more than five meters high. But this is already a big ship for Japan.

Japan's strongest navy is the pirates of the Nine Ghosts, but now the Nine Ghosts are in the fall of Yi Sunsin's fight in Korea. Oda Nobuhide could only find such a big ship. An hour later, the soldiers had finished boarding, and under the order of a certain Nakasa, the fleet sailed westward. 1,500 warships, like 1,500 small fish, swayed towards the deep sea.

50 miles out of Nagasaki. Lee's flagship Hobune No. 1 gradually approached Nagasaki, surrounded by many galleons and Daifuku ships.

"Toot toot. Doodle. , Dudu ,...... "Chen Jiu, the lookout on the treasure ship No. 1, blew the horn. The dull sound of the horn is especially harsh in the quiet of the night. This is a siren for sailors.

"Countless small boats were found in front, and countless small boats were found in front," Chen Jiu, the lookout, reported the situation while blowing the trumpet

Li Long and many generals, garrisons, and thousands of generals were awakened from their dreams by the sound of horns, and they all went up to the deck neatly, and took out their binoculars one after another to check the situation. I saw countless short warships approaching the Invincible Armada. The captains of each of the Armada warships were busy commanding.

"The gunner to the gun position, the smoothbore gunner to the arrow stack ready to shoot, each in place," General Zhang commanded tightly and unhurriedly

"Flagship Baochuan No. 1, Baochuan No. 2, adjust the angle of the red-coated cannon and fire at the small boat group in the distance" Li Long Whether it is a pirate or Zheng Zhilong. Japan, which is still weak, will feed them dozens of shells first, saying,

The No. 1 redcoat cannon has been loaded, the No. 2 redcoat cannon has been loaded,,,,, the No. 20 redcoat cannon has been loaded

???????????

???????????

The Qingzhou red-coated cannon is completed,,,,,,, the Dengzhou red-coated cannon is completed.

????????

"Aim" ,,,, the captains of the ships commanded their red-coated artillery paths

????

Li Long can clearly see these small boats with binoculars, it turns out that they are all Japanese devil soldiers, their warships are very small, there is only one big barrel on each ship, I always thought that the big barrel is a cannon. As a result, it turned out that the large barrel was actually a large iron cannon, and the name of the large barrel actually appeared later in the Edo period. Extra-large caliber arquebus...... Oh a god...... Is this the big tube...... It is no wonder that some people have always expressed disdain for the level of firearms in Japan at that time......

Now that I see it, I know that Japanese firearms are not as divine as the legend, in fact, the main reason is that the big iron cannon = big barrel is too thunderous...... Even if the big barrel in my impression is not as good as the cannon of the Ming Dynasty, at least the shape should be about the same...... But the picture of the large barrel I found on the Japanese wiki is actually the same as the arquebus, with a tail like the handle of the gun dragging behind it、、、

"Brothers, these small boats are all the subjects we are training today, live-fire training, everyone should be accurate, try to sink all these handles, which gunner has more handles, which gunner will add a piece of meat to supper tonight" Li Long expressed his jealousy and contempt for the Japanese navy, and was no longer ready to be used as a battle, but only as a live-fire training.

All 160 redcoat cannons adjusted their viewing angles, installed their shells, and pointed them at the ship

"Fire" With Li Long's order, the flag bearer waved his hand to fire. The gunner, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to light the arquebus,

I saw that 160 fire dragons dragged their long tails and flew towards the Japanese fleet like 160 meteors.

Some Japanese devils had already seen a fireball flying, and the squad leader level shouted: "Quickly hit with a big tube" Some Japanese soldiers lit Datong's fire rope in time, and some did not light the fire at all. The rapid shells hit the Japanese warship, immediately sinking the battleship that was hit, and the shells that did not hit fell directly into the water. Stirring up high waves, huge waves like a wall towards the Japanese warship bunks covered their faces. Immediately, many Japanese soldiers were knocked into the water.

After the first round of shelling, the Japanese soldiers discovered another huge battleship in the distance, each as tall as a hill. It is equipped with a huge cylinder.

There is a clever Japanese general who has been replaced by Shiro Fujita, and there is also a leader named Takeda Ichino. Yes, they belong to the Dazuo level, and in this sudden naval battle, the two of them naturally became the supreme commanders.

Fujita and Takeda each led the remaining 1,000 ships to prepare for a decisive battle with the invading enemy.

Fujita climbed to the bow of the boat and thought for a while: "Samurai, instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, let's rush up and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, and give full play to the bushido spirit of the Japanese samurai, samurai, let's rush"

"Rush, rush" If one person follows the encouragement, it will cause a chain reaction. One by one, the Japanese devils shouted that they were going to rush over and fight hand-to-hand with the Ming army.

Today is July 25th, it is summer, and the east wind is blowing. The Japanese boat was very fast, and when it rushed up, it was like a small leaf, and it was vulnerable.

After the second and third rounds of red-coat cannon firing, three or four Japanese small leaves were overturned, and the huge waves that brought the shelling into the water also washed the Japanese leaves in all directions. But what I don't admire is that the Japanese spirit of bushido is strong, and these samurai rushed towards the Ming Armada at full speed with their own belief that the emperor would be reimbursed and life and death would be unhindered.

The distance is too close, it is already less than three hundred meters, and the range of the red-coat cannon is too far, and many shells have already hit the bounds. It takes a long time to adjust the angle of fire of the cardinal cannon. Like all the generals in the garrison, Li Long stopped firing from the red-coated cannons, and when the firing angle did not move, he kept the Japanese ship to flee and used the Franc machine instead

The 160 large Franc cannons on the Treasure Ship 1 and Treasure Ship 2 were the first to fire a murderous fury. The sound of the bombardment shook the heavens and the earth. Then 640 small and medium-sized Franc cannons joined the attack.

Suddenly, the Japanese fast-charging boat was blown into pieces, and countless Japanese samurai, ashigaru, and iron gunners fell into the water. Sharks roaming the Sea of Japan have finally found food. One by one, the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water were bitten to pieces. The Japanese soldiers first felt that hell was so close. Looking at the fury fired from the giant battleship, the Japanese battleship was smashed with a single shot, and we couldn't even get close to them...... Only the portion of the beating

Seeing that he was already less than 100 meters away from the giant ship group, Takeda ordered the iron gunners (gunners) to shoot, and the Japanese gunners picked up the iron guns and fired a round of guns in an earthquake-like environment, and then they were greeted by hundreds of shells. 、

A young Japanese soldier reloads the gunpowder, presses the fire door, and then puts in the projectile, and is about to raise his gun to shoot, when a wall of seawater paves the surface. The whole ship was swayed from side to side by the sea, and the iron cannon barrels were filled with water, and it was no longer possible to shoot. There were five or six soldiers on the ship at the same time who were thrown into the water by the waves. Desperately struggling in the water.

The Japanese boats close to the Ming Armada could not shoot, and could only be cared for by artillery fire below, but the Ming commanders would not be merciful. Thousands of smoothbore gunners fired down from the stacks of arrows, and "crackling" bullets rained down on the Japanese boats more than a dozen meters below.

Japanese soldiers were shot in the head, chest, and thighs. Another person was hit by dozens of bullets and was still lying on the boat, refusing to die. The tide of the battle is getting more and more tilted. Bullets rained down on Japanese boats, and after hundreds of bullets in their hulls, they sank into the water.

Screams, cries, and begs for mercy are endless. The water was dyed red, and the smell of blood attracted more sharks to help. For the first time, the Japanese felt the bravery of my Chinese boys.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw to Nagasaki" Fujita and Takeda respectively commanded the remaining Shirojo warships. More than a thousand ships have been lost, and if they do not retreat, they will definitely be wiped out.

Due to the easterly wind, the Japanese warships could not retreat quickly at all, so they could only move slowly against the wind. Fujita and Takeda saw that the fleet was finished, and if they did not withdraw to Nagasaki, it would be all over. Hurriedly ordered the soldiers to glide with their oars. Those who did not have pulp had to glide with their own iron cannons.

Gradually, after losing 20 more ships and 400 lives, the Japanese ships were 300 meters away, which was already beyond the range of the firearms. The Japanese devils, who were originally lucky, found that they unfortunately entered the range of the Franc machine and the red-coated cannon at this time.

Li Long ordered his flagship to pursue, firing as he pursued. The six main guns in the bow of the treasure ship bombarded the fleeing Japanese boats. Dozens of lives were claimed with each shot.

The pursuit lasted for more than an hour, and the guns were red before they stopped, and the Japanese fleet was long gone.

That night, the Ming Armada set sail, used the compass to set the coordinates, and went straight to the West Sea of Japan, aiming at Kyoto.

Yukinaga Konishi, who was fighting in Korea, Kiyomasa Kato, had no idea of the earth-shattering naval battle that took place in the Sea of Japan.

In Kyushu, Japan, a soldier with a Taoist flag on his back is riding a fast horse to Honshu, passing through Saga, Fukuoka, Yamaguchi, Okayama to Osaka.

Knock knock, knock knock,,, the next morning, the messenger knocked on the door of the Osaka shogunate, came to the shogunate in Osaka, Sekibai Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw the report that came, and pondered for a while. Who would have attacked the more than 1,000 warships that had just set out for the war?

In East Asia, Maozi did not have such strength, and Korea was only a little stronger than the Japanese navy, and the only country that could make thousands of navies disappear overnight was Mingguo.
