Fei Xin's fleet has victory in sight, because the pirate fleet in the rear is not good, even a shot turned around and ran, thus speeding up its rout, less than half a day, from the beginning of the war to the present, the grass mustard family's fleet has been surrounded by Fei Xin's fleet, and the three elders and the fourth elder have not been able to escape.

Bear and more than two dozen pirate leaders gathered on the same ship, and they learned that Tang Ming personally led five treasure ships and a hundred warships to fight. The bear immediately ordered all the pirate ships to turn around, and after receiving the defeat of the Kusa Mustard family, they withdrew from the waters of Ryukyu Island at full speed.
Since returning last night, the bear has already discussed with the other pirate leaders, and retreats as soon as he sees that the signs are wrong. So much so that when they retreated, they were actually more orderly and faster than when they came. Zhu Yong and Li Ba, who had been looking for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters at this time, couldn't find a chance to start.
Seeing that the pirate fleet is about to withdraw from the waters of Ryukyu Island, if they don't attack again, Zhu Yong and Li Ba will lose a great opportunity. After the two of them summed up the gains and losses as fast as they could, they decided to take a risk, and the five ships suddenly went berserk in the evacuated pirate fleet at the same time.
Under a salvo, they actually knocked out nearly ten pirate ships that were traveling with them, and the pirate fleet that retreated in an orderly manner was also disrupted by this sudden accident. Since the attack took place at the rear of the fleet, the bear in front thought that Tang Ming had chased after them. He didn't even dare to turn around and look, and he didn't even have the courage to send someone to investigate, so he just fled at full speed with those pirate leaders.
Zhu Yong and Li Ba began to rampage frantically in the rear of the pirate fleet under the surprise of a shot that worked, and when all the pirates fled the battlefield, Zhu Yong and Li Ba couldn't help but be surprised when they counted the battle situation. Under this frantic bombardment, they unknowingly sank ten pirate ships, and nearly fifteen lost power.
Overjoyed, Zhu Yong and Li Ba began to clean up the battlefield without saying a word, and after all the fifteen ships were controlled, they hung far behind the pirate fleet and sailed into the unknown sea.
Tang Ming stood on the bow of the treasure ship, watching Zhu Yong and Li Ba with a telescope to catch the retreating pirate fleet off guard. Finally, seeing that they had good fortune to leave with fifteen pirate ships, he ordered the fleet to return and turned around and rushed to Fei Xin, who was fighting the grass mustard family head-on.
The three elders and the fourth elders of the grass mustard family, their faces were dead gray, watching their family's fleet being sunk by Fei Xin's fleet one after another. Their hearts are dripping blood, and the consequences are even more unbearable for them, and the grass mustard family will lose half of their strength after this battle. The second largest family in the island country will be directly removed from the list because of this, and those enemies in the past will not let them live comfortably, so it can be said that the entire grass mustard family is likely to perish because of this.
Despair instantly occupied the entire hearts of the two elders, and the two katanas were held in their hands, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, while slowly untying the samurai uniforms on their bodies with one hand. Unfastened his shirt to his waist and slowly knelt down on the deck at the bow of the ship, and the four samurai guards behind the two of them stopped talking, and finally simply knelt down behind them shirtless, as the two elders did.
Seppuku suicide was their last glory as a samurai when they were defeated, and apologizing with death was the only thing the two elders could do at this moment. The six men in the bow of the ship held their katanas at the same time, the tip of the knife against their belly, and after a low shout of 'hey', the six people did not hesitate to plunge the tip of the knife deep into their stomachs.
With a slight twist of the wrist, the sharp katana easily sliced through everyone's belly, and bright red blood flowed all over the bow of the ship in an instant. The faces of the six were painful, and the pain in their stomachs had distorted their entire faces, but they pressed their teeth and did not snort in pain.
In the chaos of the battlefield, Fei Xin quickly found the command ship of the grass mustard family, but when he boarded the command ship, all he saw was blood and intestines all over the ground. None of the members of the Mustard family were spared suicide, and only sailors and handymen were left on board.
Seeing this scene, Fei Xin couldn't help but be in awe, no matter who these people were in life, their actions at this moment deserve respect. Transferring all the sailors and miscellaneous servants on board to the treasure ship, Fei Xin personally lit the first cannon and sank the ship full of enemies worthy of his respect directly to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing that the enemy ship completely disappeared into the sea, Fei Xin ordered to clean up the battlefield, and soon after, Tang Ming joined Fei Xin. After leaving behind a hundred warships and five treasure ships, and most of the captives on Ryukyu Island, Kitsuna served as the temporary commander-in-chief. Tang Ming and Fei Xin took two hundred warships and ten treasure ships and headed directly to the island country.
From the beginning of the war on Ryukyu Island, officials in southern Fujian always paid attention to the news of the defeat of the Kusa family and the pirates, and it took less than half a day to send it back to Yuegang. And all the spies who came from Nanjing to inquire about the news also spread the news to the city of Nanjing.
After this war, all the people who had previously had a peeking at Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island put away their eavesdropping thoughts after measuring their own strength.
In the imperial study, Zhu Di was reviewing the folds while listening to the spies who reported the news talking about the battle situation on Ryukyu Island. When he learned that Tang Ming had won the Caojiao family, he didn't seem surprised at all, but when he learned that Tang Ming actually continued to go to the island country with the victorious fleet, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment!
After some thought, he ordered the spies to continue to follow up, although the island country is small, it is still a country after all, if Tang Ming's move leads to a war between the Ming Dynasty and the island country, Zhu Di must be prepared.
Zhu Gaochi, who was diametrically opposed to Zhu Di's reaction, was very happy, and he didn't think so deeply about Tang Ming leading the army to continue to the island country. I just feel that Tang Ming is a little inappropriate to do this, and there is nothing else to do!
Five days later, Tang Ming's fleet arrived in the waters of the island nation, and under the guidance of the Watanabe family, the fleet docked at the port of Nagasaki, the most prosperous port in the island country under the control of the Watanabe family. Along the way, Tang Ming saw that most of the merchant ships that came to trade were under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty in this port definitely accounted for more than eighty percent.
Such a scene greatly surprised Tang Ming, for the trade of the island countries, Zhu Di followed Zhu Yuanzhang's policy and imposed a sea ban on them. That is, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to trade with the people of the island country, but the scene they saw in front of them was not the same from time to time.
