A naval battle, from the beginning to the end of the preparations, with the rhythm of the Ming era, cannot be completed in a few days. From the preparation to the beginning of the war, it is fast to be able to fight in three months.

Shira-naka Crane is not in a hurry at all, and just checks the information from all over the world every day.

As for the women, just enjoy the beauty of the beach, military affairs have nothing to do with them.

The envoy of Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty also arrived, and it was Wang Wen, the new emperor of the left capital. Originally, this position was set for Yang Shan, which was Yang Daxiucai. But Yang Shan is doing a good job in foreign affairs, so Yang Shan is now the leader of the Imperial History of the Left Capital, and is the Imperial History of the Nanyang Metropolitan and the Secretary of the Nanhonglu Temple.

Wang Wen is definitely another ruthless person in the Ming Dynasty besides Yu Qian.

From a son-in-law who has been admitted to the entrance examination, he has held important official positions. Especially in the big incident of the White Lotus Sect, who claimed to be the Seven Buddha Patriarch and instigated the rebellion of the Wei Institute, which spread to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and finally to Beizhili, he is definitely qualified to be called a ruthless person.

Jiawang Wen is the acting governor of the imperial history, and the difference is the qualifications and political achievements.

And sending Wang Wen, a ruthless man, as a special envoy, represents Zhu Qiyu's support for Bai Minghe.

When Wang Wen entered the council hall, everyone first greeted the scepter with the courtesy of his courtiers, and then Wang Wen greeted everyone with the courtesy of his colleagues.

"Hooray, no will?" Yu Qian was a little surprised, usually at this time he should read the holy decree.

"No purpose, long live just said to call me over, that's all!" Wang Wen was actually a little depressed, since he was a special envoy, he always had to explain something. But apart from asking myself to come over, I didn't even say a word. The only way to do this is to bring yourself as an envoy. That's it. After Wang Wen explained the situation before departure, Yu Qian said to Bai Minghe with a stern face: "Bai Minghe, don't thank you soon." ”

The white name crane said in his heart, I want to thank for something.

But Takaya kindly explained: "Banzai has no purpose, and there are no words. It means that you are in charge, and Lord Wang is just watching. ”

Well, Shane.

Bai Minghe kowtowed three times in the direction of the capital, and shouted thanksgiving in his mouth.

After Bai Minghe stood up, Wang Wencai asked: "There is no pre-war feeling here, and since it may be the front line." There are also too few ships around. There aren't enough guards. ”

"There's no hurry, it's still early!" Bai Minghe replied, "If the fight starts, it will be at least a month later." The claim to the outside world is that it is just a vacation and a beach wine. The white crane finished. Yu Qian also nodded. Prove that the words of the white crane are true.

As for how to fight. Wang Wen didn't ask, he just came to see this time and didn't give him any right to speak.

Fan Liang came in from the outside door: "My lords, the fourth team of the Nanjing Navy Division is coming back." also brought Hua Mei back. I heard that there is important information to report. ”

"Invite them in."

Instead of sitting back in his place, Shirana Crane stood in front of the door.

As soon as the old captain entered the house and gave a military salute, he let aside, and Hua Mei, who was wearing a red cloak and a combination of Chinese and Western beauty and integrated armor, came in and followed a Ming military salute.

Bai Minghe smiled and looked Hua Mei up and down, more handsome than he imagined.

"Hua Mei will report first, and then go to the south of the island to rest for two days."

"Yes!" There were tears in the corners of Hua Mei's eyes, no matter what the tears were, she couldn't ask.

Hua Mei took out a chart to explain the situation in the northern part of Wajima. In particular, it tells in detail about the three large-scale wars of Iwami Province in just half a year, and the battle of more than 5,000 people in Wajima was definitely large-scale, all of which exceeded 5,000 people, and the temporary truce was caused by the defeat of Iwami Province three times in a row, the loss of seven small castles and the mountain pass on the south side of Iwamiyama.

"Young master, give us a chance to fight, we can fight a naval battle!"

Just hearing Hua Mei's information, Bai Minghe knew that this was just an excuse to borrow information, and he actually wanted to come back.

"No way!" Shira-naka refused without even thinking about it.

Hua Mei's small mouth pursed at that time, and it was obvious that she thought that Bai Minghe was belittling the combat power of her people.

"Xiaobai, the girl has another name in Wajima, which was given to her by the Wa people. is much more domineering than these of us, called Shagaro, also known as King Shagaro, or King Sagara Dragon. In the waters northwest of Wajima, even fishermen have to meet her when they go out to sea and ask her if the dragon king is happy. ”

The old captain spoke to Hua Mei beside him.

"No, not to doubt her abilities, but that her ships were the first to be built in the shape of the European side. If she merges into the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, she will be suspected by the people of the Japanese and the Li Goryeo, and Hua Mei herself is my man. So you can't fight. The white crane refused again.

"In the name of piracy, let's storm Tsushima Island, if there are not enough people for land warfare, transfer three to five thousand men from the capital." Yu Qian mentioned yì on the side.

This is very bold.

Tsushima Island, an island of great strategic importance, was sent to Goryeo hundreds of years ago when the Yuan Dynasty wanted to invade Wajima, and Goryeo followed the expedition to this island.

Tsushima, Jeju, Haisenway. Plus Dandong and Laizhou in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that Lee's Goryeo was a sheep enclosed in a sheepfold.

"Let Bai Fu pick 5,000 people and go to battle!" How could the white-named crane not be impressed.

"Good, plan it. Take advantage of the naval battle here, and take advantage of the chaos over there. When the Koreans didn't react, they would take Tsushima Island. But the people of Lee's Goryeo would not be unresponsive, so they immediately sent the British Duke into battle with his Ming Royal Navy in the name of clearing the pirates. Fight a gorgeous naval battle with Huamei again, and then go back to their respective homes. Yu Qian began to design.

Bai Minghe turned around: "Huamei, go to the south of the island." I'll cook for you in the evening. ”

"Young Master Xie!" Hua Mei felt that even the iron armor on her body was about to melt, her face was so red that she forgot her etiquette, and rushed out at a fast trot.

Everyone burst out laughing.

The old captain said, "The adults don't know that this girl's reputation is not in vain. It's killed. Her soldiers and horses entered the harbor on Wajima, and even the elders of the famous family on Wajima had to salute her, and three hundred musketeers fired three in a row, and the 1,000 infantry of the Wa people were killed almost thirty paces ago. ”

"Let's move on to the second step of the plan!" Shira-nathan didn't pick up any questions about Hua Mei.

Yu Qian knew that Bai Minghe was avoiding it, and Hua Mei's army was somewhat taboo in Bai Minghe's heart.

One is a purely female sailor unit, the second is that Hua Mei is nominally Bai Minghe's maid, and the third is that Bai Minghe cares about the taboo of private soldiers.

However, a pure female soldier unit with only a few dozen boats, not to mention the Ming Emperor, even the general of any naval division did not take it to heart, and it was able to fight because it was well-equipped, and the Japanese people on it were all irregular soldiers from poor places, and a thousand infantry with bamboo spears were against all muskets and artillery. Coupled with the female soldiers with extraordinary martial arts skills in steel swords and soft armor, it is simply an unequal battle.

The old captain had also observed the formation of this female army at sea, and they were still much worse.

"Xiaobai, there is one thing that the old man is bold enough to make his own decisions, if you violate the military order, you will be punished." The old captain told me about the spoon. Of course, I also told the reason for doing this.

Originally, these spoons were inferior steel, and it was not possible to make knives at all, and the tools were also easy to damage. The cost of refining it is too high. That's why they were made into spoons as rewards and other items for the soldiers of the various guards of the Navy, and the quantity was not much, and some of them were too small as commodities.

"Those spoons are also steel, and the soldiers can't drink porridge with wooden spoons, so they didn't send them out when they stayed in the Toshi warehouse, and they happened to be sold as steel. Some can be left on the steel ingots on the handle. ”

The white-named crane is crying and laughing.

Let's say that the old captain is wrong, but the old captain is also saving materials for the military, after all, Daming's steel production has never really been able to meet the needs of the military.

But that's right, it's the old captain who can't see the increase in steel production in the future, as well as the future development of the Ming Dynasty.

But for now, these are really small things. It's not worth saying anything wrong with good.

"It's not a big deal, it's just to meet the requirements of the mission, and let Wajima send news from the north to their capital, and there is smuggled steel. It's just that the spoons that the soldiers are not issued with will curse, I don't know. When it comes to the things that are distributed in the army, there are actually some others. Like this one! ”

Bai Minghe turned out a lunch box in the corner of the tent, which was the same as the square lunch box of later generations, except that there was an extra handle that could be folded, and the lunch box could be burned on the fire with the handle to heat the food in the box.

"There are still some things that are distributed to the soldiers of the north, and I won't tell you one by one."

"What a waste!" The old captain's heart hurts, there are a few in this lunch box, I'm afraid it can make a good knife. Because this is not the most slag material, but the inferior good material, a good steel material that can be used for plowshares.

"Stingy, the same as the!" Xu Chengzong scolded and snatched the lunch box: "Take your people, hurry up." Go back and change your outfit, change your battle clothes! ”

"Order!" The old captain put away his smiling face, and after giving the Ming military salute very strictly, he took three steps back before turning around.

The daily equipment of the Daming Navy Division is different from the combat uniform, from the food, water, medicinal herbs, and ammunition on the ship. There are also different differences in the number of artillery, the ratio of knives and crossbows, etc.

The second step of the Shira's plan began two days later.

A few small families who were determined to send protons to the Takeda and Oda families, as well as some well-known pirates, began to operate frequently in the Uisekai and Izu Seas, and a large number of foreign ships were missing for unknown reasons, and the other daimyo Hosaku also died in large numbers, and finally the two families led by the Takeda and Oda families blocked the roads on the east and west sides of the Imagawa family.
