During the Xiaoice River period, the east coast of Dongying in early April is still relatively cold, and there are still floating ice floes on the sea. The moonlight was slightly westerly, and a fleet of ships stopped in the Kii Suido, in the sea east of Wakayama Castle. Wakayama Castle was built in 1585, the year before last, and it is now a simple prototype.

On the "Black Pearl", Zhang Er asked Li Sunsin: "Little Lizi, have all three ships been inspected?" "Big brother, I have checked it, the draft of the three ships is less than 4 feet (1 foot = 31.1cm in the Ming Dynasty, 4 feet is 1 meter 24), the ammunition is in place, and the sails and rigging are operating normally!"

Zhang Er is still not at ease, Xiao Lizi (43 years old is still young?!) He had just married his sister, and if anything happened to him, his sister and cousin would be widowed again. Turning to a blonde guy next to him, he asked, "Mr. Si, are you sure everything is working properly?" "General Zhang, the ship is normal, the wind direction and current are the same as the results of the reconnaissance, there is no problem with the operation, as long as your lurking personnel can send out the signal on time!" This operation is about my gold, and I dare not make a mistake. Also, my surname is Sparrow, not Spyro! The golden retriever replied in a strange tone, in a stiff Celestial Language.

The golden retriever has been sailing on the seas of East Asia for a long time, and he can speak a little in Celestial Empire, Chao*Xian, and Dongying, and can also speak a few words in Annam and Cantonese, so at least he has no problem communicating with women who have lost his footing. It's not a sale, Spyro is Taro's father, and he will recognize each other.

……

As he spoke, the lookout on the top of the mast called out in a suppressed voice: "There is a signal!" Left one and right three, very clear! ”

"Raise the sails! Half sail! Weigh! The order was suppressed and spread throughout the fleet. While climbing off the liaison boat, Zhang Er kept admonishing: "Little plum! Anything is good, be safe! If there's an accident, run! Phew, no accidents, absolutely nothing, must be lucky, must be ......"

Since mid-February, the East China Sea Coalition has launched a series of sweeps on the west coast of Dongying, so that the west coast of Dongying will stretch for thousands of miles, clean and restored to its original state. The shogunate had no choice but to mobilize a large army, stationed along the coast, and frantically built beacon towers, which greatly increased the difficulty of looting.

After the coalition established a general headquarters, the old pirate Shimazu clan proposed to make a big deal on the east coast of Toei to divert the shogunate's attention. The proposal was unanimously endorsed by the robbers. After in-depth research, the preferred location was Hideyoshi's new seaport city of Osaka.

"Osaka", known as "Naniwa" in ancient times, also known as "Namba" and "Osaka", was called Osaka in the 19th century. The word "Osaka" first appeared in the Muromachi period (1336-1573), so this article calls it Osaka. Since the Nara period (710-794), Osaka has been a trading port due to its seaside location. Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle in 1583 on the land of the former Ishiyama Honganji Temple, with Osaka as the central city of his rule. During the Edo period, Osaka, along with Kyoto and Edo, was the most economically active commercial city in Japan.

The Kamimachi Plateau in eastern Osaka is a higher area of the Osaka Plain. The Uemachi Terrace stretches from the area around Osaka Castle in the north to the vicinity of Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine in the south. The northern end of the platform is the highest area in the Uemachi Plateau. The eastern side of the plateau is relatively gentle. On the west side, the highlands are more pronounced and there are many slopes, which is also the origin of the name "Osaka". The Uemachi Terrace is located right by the sea, making it ideal for being robbed by pirates.

The shogunate never dreamed that the pirates would go around in a big circle and fight Osaka's idea. The entire defense of Osaka Bay was useless, making it easy for pirates to complete reconnaissance and arrange lurks.

For concealment, all the ships involved in the operation were painted black. Under the moonlight, three large ships like small hills (opposite) slowly sailed into the waterway, followed by countless ships of all kinds, like three elephants following countless lackeys.

Zhang Er led the support fleet headed by the "Sea Tiger" to stay outside the waterway and support and cooperate at any time.

Yi Sunsin took the lead on the "Black Pearl", followed by the "Victory" and "Raider", and the other ships sailed in turn. The lantern behind the front boat is the indication, and you can't see the lantern on the front boat and the back of the boat!

The northeasterly wind was still blowing, not much, but enough for ships to move at a speed of about 2 knots (1 knot equals 1 nautical mile per hour, or 1.852 kilometers per hour).

Passing through the waterway, the fleet headed due north, and after seeing the fire on the beach of Awaji Island opposite Himeji Castle, the fleet turned east-northeast and slowly sailed towards Osaka. Everyone is begging for a living at sea, as long as it is not the head wind, there is no problem.

……

In the morning, the fog rises in Osaka Bay, and Kojiro gets up early in the morning and rows out, hoping to get something to the castle town and sell it to the old men for a few bucks and buy some food. Recently, the price of food has been rising, so don't count on rice, I hope you can buy some taro or something to fill your stomach.

It is said that on the western coast, the Ming Kou burned, killed and looted, and there was nothing left except the land that could not be moved. The government took all the young people to the west to serve as soldiers, repaired the city to defend the beacon tower, resisted the Ming Kou, and even the girls had to go to the labor army. A lot of land was left there, and only a bunch of old people and children were ploughing. If he hadn't broken his leg in the previous war, he would definitely have been dragged by the government to be a soldier. The people privately said that this was the punishment for offending the Heavenly Empire in the past!

Kojiro cast his net twice and collected a few snappers and a few crabs. It was hourly, and the fog was very heavy. After two more nets, the fog will clear, and the catch will be taken to the market. Just as he was about to go to the net again, Musashi in the bow of the ship shouted, "Wang! Woof! Wang ...... "looked very frightened.

There is a condition! Musashi is a good dog and doesn't bark for no reason! Kojiro picked up the oars and looked around.

There was a thick fog everywhere, and nothing could be seen. "Wang! Woof! Wang ......", Musashi shouted more and more anxiously. Kojiro struggled to look in the direction of Musashi's barking.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed out of the dense fog, and the body of the mountain pressed against the boat. Kojiro was a soldier and reacted quickly, jumping off ship without even thinking about it, and the boat was crushed in an instant.

When Kojiro came back to his senses, hugged a rotten shipboard, and floated on the water with Musashi, he was horrified by the scene in front of him! Led by three large ships that he had never seen before, countless ships sailed in front of him, and beside the ships were heavily armed soldiers, standing majestically and silently, only sporadic lanterns flickering, and two fires faintly in the distance.

I don't know how long it took, but a raging flame ignited in the distance......

The fog cleared, and Kojiro returned to the shore, and it was already late in the morning. It's just that two hours later, Kojiro feels that it is longer than a hundred years. The majestic castle of yesteryear was burning, and the castle town had burned down, and there was smoke everywhere, corpses scattered, and occasionally a few living walking corpses walked around the ruins. My home is gone, but fortunately, my wife and children are okay and still alive, but they keep saying "Youxiao (yu_u_re_i)!" Shadow (yu_u_re_i)! ”

Ghost attacks Osaka! The whole city is destroyed! When the news reached Kyoto and learned that his base had been completely destroyed, Hideyoshi immediately fainted. Others may think that the ghost destroyed Osaka, but Hideyoshi is absolutely sure that Akiko did it. The other party used a yang scheme, but Hideyoshi still had to immediately transfer troops back from the west according to the enemy's expectations, and also suppressed the speech of the countrymen that he had offended the heavens and was punished by the ghost.

On the other hand, there is elation. That night, the fully loaded fleet returned to Tosa Bay with a full load, taking advantage of the northeast wind. When the last ship sailed into the harbor, the small boat parked at the outermost part of the harbor raised the fireworks to represent victory, and the whole harbor was jubilant!

Due to the needs of the plot, the setting is different from the historical facts, don't be surprised! ＾_＾
