After receiving Lü Yan's order, a large number of people and materials were immediately transferred from Phi Island and Gangnam to Jeju Island, in fact, the distance from Gangnam to Jeju Island was even closer than the distance from Phi Island to Jeju Island. ↗ Top Novel,

The first to arrive at Jeju Island was Qi Jiguang, who came to Jeju Island first with more than 30,000 Qi family troops and a large number of sailors from Songjiang Province.

In the past two years, Lu Yan has asked Qi Jiguang to train 30,000 Qi family troops, and this time almost all of them are in battle.

After all, Qi Jiguang's ability to train soldiers is well known, and it would be a waste not to let him train his troops.

After learning that Qi Jiguang was coming with troops, Li Rusong and Chen Lan hurriedly greeted each other in person.

Li Rusong is an arrogant and even arrogant person.

But his arrogance also depends on the object, and Qi Jiguang is an absolute exception.

On the one hand, it is because Qi Jiguang and his father Li Chengliang have a good relationship, and they are his elders.

On the other hand, it is also because Qi Jiguang is too capable, and he respects people who have the ability very much.

After seeing Li Rusong, everyone sighed, and now Li Rusong is already a broken family.

Almost all of his entire family was killed by Nurhachi, and as soon as he mentioned this incident, Li Rusong was furious and vowed to seek revenge on the Jurchens.

At the same time, he felt extremely regretful that when Nurhachi was a slave in their family, he didn't hack him to death with a knife.

Of course, it doesn't help to say that now. Qi Jiguang comforted him. The main purpose of this trip was said.

That is, Lu Yan asked them to kill and injure the Japanese army as much as possible before the war was ready. At the same time, it is necessary to occupy the coastal islands of Tsushima and other Japanese countries.

Tsushima Island is a large island between North Korea and Japan.

If it was intended to attack Japan from Busan, Korea, then Tsushima Island would have to be occupied.

When the Mongols attacked Japan from Pusan, they slaughtered all the Japanese on Tsushima Island.

After learning that Lu Yan really planned to attack the Japanese mainland, Li Rusong and Chen Lu both had complicated faces.

In that year, the Mongol Empire conquered the Japanese kingdom twice, but all of them failed after losing money and labor.

It was precisely by learning the lessons of Mongolia that Zhu Yuanzhang listed the Wa State as a country not to be conquered.

Even though the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by the Japanese since its founding, the Ming Dynasty has never retaliated against the Japanese Dynasty.

But now Lu Yan has finally decided to go to Japan in person. So will he still fail like the mighty Mengyuan Empire?

After Qi Jiguang told them about this, he asked them to summon Li Dan and the others.

Soon Li Dan and others came here under the leadership of some soldiers, although Li Rusong did not abuse them recently, but restricted their freedom of movement, which made Li Dan's subordinates a little dissatisfied.

If it weren't for being in the tiger's den, coupled with Li Dan's suppression, maybe they would have rebelled.

After seeing Li Dan and the others, Qi Jiguang didn't have much smile on his face.

"You're Li Dan, right?"

Qi Jiguang asked.

"Yes, sinners are."

When Li Dan saw so many generals coming, he knew that he was afraid that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty were coming. So he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed.

"King Wu heard that you repented and was willing to turn back as a prodigal son. Therefore, it was decided to confer on you the post of guerrilla general of the navy. I hope you can restrain your subordinates and work hard to serve the prince. ”

Hearing this, Li Dan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He had thought that Lu Yan would accept his surrender, but he never thought that Lu Yan would be so generous and suddenly made him a guerrilla general.

"Thank you, Lord Wang! Thank you, Lord Wang!! I, Li Dan, swear in the name of my ancestors and ancestors, in this life, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for King Wu, and I will go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up, if I violate this oath, I will die under the heart of ten thousand arrows. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed like pounding garlic and kowtowed fiercely.

Complete the gorgeous turn from pirate completion to guerrilla general, which I don't know how much of his old-timers dreamed of a good thing.

I didn't expect it to happen to him one day.

His subordinates also looked at him with envy, in ancient China, only when he became an official could he be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and everything else was empty.

Don't look like a pirate looks imposing, but it's all about working with your head up, ancient navigation technology is not developed, maybe it will be over in a storm, and in addition to that, you have to be hunted down by officers and soldiers.

Not to be cornered, there are definitely not many people who want to be pirates.

And from now on, Li Dan can return to his hometown with honor, and he can definitely be called a brocade home.

Qi Jiguang glanced at him coldly, and then continued: "Where is Yan Siqi? ”

"Sinners are here."

Yan Siqi hurriedly said.

"King Wu heard that you have lost your way and returned to your path, so he decided to give you the position of garrison, are you willing?"

Hearing this, Yan Siqi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Sinners willing! Sinners willing! I, Yan Siqi, am willing to make cattle and horses for King Wu in this life, if I violate this oath, let the sky hit five thunders. ”

Qi Jiguang ignored the ecstatic Yan Siqi, but continued: "Where is Zheng Zhilong? ”

"Sinners are here."

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly came out and said, and looked at Qi Jiguang expectantly after speaking.

"The prince heard that you are proficient in the Hongyi language and skilled in water warfare, so he decided to give you the position of garrison."

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but say in ecstasy, and after speaking, he swore a curse.

So next, the people who came here were basically given official positions such as president and general manager.

Although they were a little disappointed that they did not become a guard, the resentment that had accumulated over the years had long since been swept away.

All of them were beaming with joy on their faces, and they couldn't wait to tell everyone the news.

Qi Jiguang and the others celebrated them indifferently, and then left Li Dan and Zheng Zhilong to attend the military meeting, and drove the others out.

Those people felt a little strange about this, it was not unusual to leave Li Dan, but why did they leave Zheng Zhilong and not Yan Siqi. You must know that Yan Siqi's qualifications are much older than Zheng Zhilong.

A long time ago. Yan Siqi is Li Dan's deputy.

Yan Siqi's face was impassive. But I have already knocked over the five-flavor bottle in my heart.

What he didn't know was that this was Lu Yan's order, and Qi Jiguang and the others thought that Lu Yan was planning to cultivate Zheng Zhilong.

"The prince will come here in about a month, and before that, we need to do some things, that is, try to fight the Japanese navy, and in addition to occupying some islands off the coast of the Japanese country, in preparation for the future attack on the Japanese mainland."

It was still unclear about these Li Dan and the others, so Qi Jiguang told them again.

Hear here. Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, can he persuade them to occupy Hirado Island, so that he can also protect his wife and son.

"The prince asked me to ask you, where do you think it is better to land."

Qi Jiguang said to Li Dan.

Hearing this, Li Dan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Lu Yan to ask him such an important question.

In fact, he was a little hesitant about where to land on Lu Yan, after all, he didn't know much about the situation in the Wa Kingdom.

Jia Xu and others can't help him in this regard, and only Li Dan and others who know the Wa Kingdom can give him some references.

Li Dan thought for a while and said, "In fact, if you start from Busan and then pass through Tsushima Island, landing in the area of Hakata Bay is the best choice. In that year, the Mongols conquered Japan twice...... No. That's what the Wa Kingdom did. ”

"Toyotomi Nobuyoshi's expedition to Korea also departed from Hakata Bay. Pass Tsushima Island and land in Busan. In doing so, the distance is the shortest and the risk is minimal. ”

In the Hakata Bay area, Fukuoka, one of Japan's largest ports, can be used to moor large ships, which is convenient for the transportation of goods and soldiers.

It is the closest to North Korea and is separated by only one Tsushima Strait.

As for why Lu Yan didn't set off from Busan, Li Dan felt a little strange.

"The prince was worried that when he was on an expedition to Japan, Houjin stabbed him from behind, so he insisted on choosing Jeju Island as the place for hoarding supplies."

Qi Jiguang seemed to see his doubts, so he said.

Hearing this, Li Dan couldn't help but suddenly realize that this was the case.

North Korea's combat effectiveness has always been weak, and whether it is facing Japan or Houjin, North Korea's performance can only be described as incompetent plus three levels, and no matter how strong each force fights North Korea, it is devastating.

In history, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he attacked Korea twice, drove the Korean king into the sea, and finally forced the Korean king to surrender before letting him go.

In the event of an expedition to Japan, Hou Jin went crazy to attack Korea and then destroyed his logistics base, then the army of the expedition to the Japanese Kingdom would collapse without a fight.

"Landing from Fukuoka should be the best option, and if you don't land from Fukuoka, you can also occupy Hirado Island first, which is only a mile away from Kyushu's closest place."

"When the time comes, we can attack Nagasaki or Fukuoka, and we are more familiar with that area, so we will not encounter storms."

Li Dan thought for a while and said.

Qi Jiguang and the others listened silently, and nodded slightly at the same time.

Historically, the Mongol army had also joined forces on Hirado Island, and it was a good choice to occupy Hirado first and then attack Kyushu.

"In addition, I think we can take advantage of the summer storm to capture more of the Japanese islands, so that the Japanese can not figure out where we landed, and it will also help to disperse their defensive forces."

At this time, Zheng Zhilong interjected.

Qi Jiguang and the others thought about it and agreed.

Then everyone discussed it, and a plan for doing the war was perfected.

In the end, after everyone agreed, it was decided to attack Tsushima Island first.

*****

Edo Castle Nakamaru, Tokugawa Iemitsu kept scolding.

Recently, rumors have been circulating throughout Japan that he is unfavorable to him, and many people have accused him of being a shrunken turtle who is not worthy of inheriting the position of shogun at all, and that his younger brother Tadanaga or one of the three royal families should come and take over the position of shogun.

This made Tokugawa Iemitsu feel extremely annoyed, of course he knew who did this, but his father always protected him, so he had no way to take Tadashi.

Moreover, after learning that Lu Yan sent a large army to Jeju Island, the entire Wa Kingdom was filled with an atmosphere of imminent storms.

In order to fight against the Ming army, Tokugawa Iemitsu had to agree to the expansion of the armaments of the various daimyos, and it would be tantamount to suicide to tie their hands and feet at this time.

In addition, he specially sent people to contact the Westerners to buy arms, and hoped that they could help the Japanese forge cannons.

Due to the defeat in the Korean War, Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that his army was far inferior to the Ming Dynasty in terms of artillery.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu learned this lesson and acquired some Hongyi cannons from Nanban.

But these cannons were not numerous in number, and were mainly used for the defense of batteries in some ports, which simply did not meet his needs.

But I didn't expect all those Nanban to refuse, because Malacca and the Taiwan Strait were all under the control of Lu Yan, and Lu Yan issued a ban on the entire Nanyang, prohibiting those Westerners from carrying any muskets and artillery through the coastal waters of Nanyang and Daming.

Therefore, these Westerners simply did not have artillery to sell.

As for helping the Japanese to cast artillery, what are you kidding?

They Westerners conquered the world with advanced artillery and muskets, and taught the Japanese how to forge artillery, even in the Ming Dynasty, they did not teach them how to forge artillery.

After a series of demands were not met, Tokugawa Iemitsu was extremely angry and scolded the Westerners.

After scolding, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that he was still angry, so he called the ten guards of Yagyu over.

"Let's have a fight. I've heard that your swordsmanship has improved again, so let's see who is the better at swordsmanship. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said to Yagyu Jubei. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
