Chapter 596: The Way Home
Kuramiya Minoru wanted Hu Ye to stay for two more days, but even if he lowered his posture, Hu Ye didn't mean to stay longer, which made Kuramiya Minoru very annoyed, but he was also very helpless, so he had to go to prepare for the war overnight because he knew that once Hu Ye's fleet left tomorrow, it would be time to test his soldiers.
Early the next morning, Hu Ye's fleet was ready to set off, anchored at the southernmost port in Kyushu, Hu Ye's soldiers boarded the ship one by one, and then waited for Hu Ye's order to sail.
Kuramiya Minoru didn't want to send Hu Ye off, he didn't want to leave Hu Ye to be honest at that time, and he had to take Ida Eryi to see Hu Ye off, and he didn't forget to keep Hu Ye during the period, but he was naturally rejected by Hu Ye.
"No need to send it, you better go back and prepare for war." Hu Ye took Xiaoqiang and Wangcai on the boat, and then turned back to Kuramiya Minoru and said.
"Then I won't send it."
Kuramiya Minoru was also very simple, he turned around and left, and when he left, he was still cursing Hu Ye in his heart for encountering a tornado halfway, and then the whole army was wiped out.
"Young master, shall we go back the same way?"
Lao Qian came to Hu Ye's side and asked Hu Ye in a low voice.
"The way you come? Of course, not the same way. β
Hu Ye said very directly that the original route was from Quanzhou to Dongfan, and then from Dongfan to Kyushu through Ryukyu, the road was far away, and it was to go to Dongfan at that time, so Hu Ye would choose that time-consuming route.
Now he is bent on going back to pick up the child, of course, he has to choose a closer route.
The nearest route from Kyushu is to go directly to Wusongkou, and then enter the Yangtze River, and you can go directly to the city of Nanjing.
Before leaving Kyushu though. Hu Ye is also ready to do one thing.
"Nie Yuan, set sail. Head north along the island of Kyushu and cross the strait. Then go all the way west! Hu Ye said loudly.
"What? Heading north along Kyushu? Wouldn't that take another day? β
Nie Yuan was stunned, if he went north along Kyushu, he would have to walk hundreds of miles more, and according to the speed of this ship, would it take more than one day?
"If you want to go north, you will go north, what so much nonsense."
Hu Ye said angrily, and then entered the cabin.
"Go ahead, this kid wants to give the Northern Dynasty some deterrence, and there is another signal." Zhang Dingbian patted Nie Yuan's shoulder. Muttered.
"Deterrence? Signal? "Nie Yuan understood after thinking about it, didn't Hu Ye cross the strait so excitedly, just to deter the Japanese of the Northern Dynasty and show how powerful the fleet of the North Dynasty was? In addition, I want to tell SΓΉ Ashikaga Yoshimochi that his fleet is gone, and you can attack as much as you want.
"This kid doesn't forget to be bad before leaving."
Zhu Neng smiled, he had killed dozens of Japanese criminals these days, and he was given the name of Zhu Yidao by the Japanese people. also released all the love xΓΉ that had been held for a year, and naturally he was refreshed, and his brain seemed to be much more flexible.
Seeing that Zhu Neng also understood what Hu Ye meant, Zhang Dingbian nodded with satisfaction. It seems that Zhu Neng has followed him and has not learned anything less.
So one day at the end of August, Hu Ye's fleet set sail, but not directly from the southern port to the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he chose to head north along Kyushu, passing through the strait between Shikoku, Honshu and Kyushu.
When Kuramiya Minoru heard the news. Immediately thundered!
"This bastard!"
"Damn stinky boy! Let the suspicious soldiers I used to arrange are useless! "Jing Tian Eryi also scolded his father and mother, originally before Hu Ye left. He asked people to find clothes similar to those of the Ming Dynasty sailors to wear, so that they patrolled the strait, so that they could confuse the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, thinking that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had not left, and after the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty reacted, they were ready.
But when Hu Ye did this, didn't he clearly tell the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had completely evacuated? Isn't this for the Northern soldiers to attack? Isn't this all his previous hard work in vain!
"That's it! His fleet had to pass through the strait, and it would take another day to prepare for the fortifications of the various ports, and to arrange manpower on the edge of the cliff to block the first wave of Ashikaga Yoshimori's attack. Kuramiya Minoru said loudly.
Hu Ye's fleet was very large, so when he passed through the strait, the soldiers on both sides could see it, and while admiring the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty, those soldiers also reported to their superiors.
When Ashikaga Yoshinori knew that Hu Ye's fleet was leaving, he immediately became excited, at this moment he had deployed 50,000 troops near Kyushu, as soon as Hu Ye's fleet left, he would order an attack.
In order to recapture Kyushu, after hearing the news, he even personally went to the nearest place in Kyushu, only a few hundred meters apart, and he could even see the crowds on the other side.
The speed on land is naturally faster than above, so when Ashikaga Yoshinori arrived there, Hu Ye's fleet also happened to arrive there, and Ashikaga Yoshimochi's shogunate saw such a huge fleet, and he finally knew why Ashikaga Yoshinori had a conflict with the fleet before, such a huge ship, as long as it drove directly, their small boat would become powdered.
"See, that's why I send people to the Ming Dynasty every year to study, but the Ming Dynasty people are very shrewd, and this technology won't let outsiders know, so we can't find such a huge fleet at all." Ashikaga Yoshinori pointed to Hu Ye's fleet and taught him a lesson.
"General, if we also have such a fleet, will we be able to cross the ocean?" The curtain house said with envy.
"It's not necessarily necessary to run rampant across the ocean, but as long as you don't encounter the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no enemies." Ashikaga Yoshinori muttered.
"General, as soon as this matter is over, the last general begs the general to send me to the Ming Dynasty to study, and the last general will definitely learn their advanced technology back!" The shogunate said very strictly.
"Bei'an, it's good that you have this heart, but the people of the Ming Dynasty are too shrewd, and you can't learn anything good when you go." Ashikaga Yoshinori said that it turned out that this shogunate was called Bei'an Sanjin, and he had been by Ashikaga Yoshimochi since he was a child, and he was deeply appreciated by Ashikaga Yoshimori.
"General, you have to believe me, I will never give up if I don't learn their advanced technology!" Bei An Sanjin said very familiarly.
"Okay, when I take Kyushu, I will send you to the Ming Dynasty to study." Ashikaga Yoshinori said.
Who knew that as soon as his words fell, he heard a whooshing sound, and hurriedly looked around, only to find that several soldiers had fallen nearby, and there were several more skeletons on his body.
"What's going on!"
Ashikaga Yoshimori roared, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness, he had never seen a flintlock pistol before, so naturally he did not know how those soldiers were killed.
"You dare to go to the Shenji Camp with your broken marksmanship!"
Zhu Neng walked up to a soldier of the Shenji Battalion, kicked the soldier away, and then snatched the flintlock pistol from his hand. Although he also had a flintlock pistol in his hand, it was very short at the time, and it was not as powerful as the flintlock pistol equipped with the Shenji Battalion, especially this kind of long-range shooting, and the accuracy was not as high as this flintlock pistol.
Bang bang!
Another round of shooting, Zhu Neng felt that he had eliminated two enemies with one bullet, so he showed off to the soldiers next to him. These soldiers all knew that Zhu Neng was the Duke of Chengguo, and they didn't dare to expose the fact that his bullet had hit the sea, so they could only nod their heads and say yes, and they had to compliment them vigorously until Zhu Neng left satisfied.
"Launch!"
Zhu Neng left, and Liu Ren gave the order to shoot again.
"Damn it!"
Ashikaga Yoshinori yelled, because he found that every time there was a whoosh, a dozen or so soldiers would fall on his side, and before the swish, there would be a burst of fire in Hu Ye's fleet, and fools knew that this must have something to do with Hu Ye's fleet.
"What kind of weapon is that so powerful, so far away that it can hurt the enemy?" Ashikaga Yoshinori lay on the ground, looked at the soldiers on the ship, and asked loudly.
The soldiers around him naturally shook their heads, even Ashikaga Yoshinori had never seen a flintlock pistol, and they naturally hadn't seen it either.
"Bei'an, you don't have to wait until this matter is over, go back and prepare immediately, take the envoys to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, you must figure out what kind of weapon it is! If we had that weapon too, we would have been able to destroy the enemy here! β
Ashikaga Yoshinori knew the importance of the flintlock pistol, the range was farther than the bow and arrow, and the power was greater than the bow and arrow, this was completely a sharp weapon at sea, and he was glad that he had not clashed with Hu Ye's fleet before.
Seeing Hu Ye's fleet sail out of the strait, Ashikaga Yoshinori dared to raise his head, looking at the shadow of the fleet with trepidation, and when the fleet disappeared in front of his eyes, he immediately ordered, "Everyone attack!" β
In an instant, the strait between Honshu and Kyushu was filled with all kinds of ships, and thousands of people began to cross the sea to fight, trying to seize Kyushu.
And Ida Eri's side was prepared early and ready to face the headache.
Soon, the wails on both sides of the strait were remembered, some fell into the sea, some were hit by arrows, and some were pushed into the sea by their own people.
The roar here shook the sky, but Hu Ye's side was calm, and his fleet had already left the Wa Kingdom and sailed into the calm sea.
"Boy, I heard that the Japanese country is quite close to North Korea, why don't we go to North Korea again?" Zhu Neng came to Hu Ye and said with a smile.
Hu Ye glanced at Zhu Neng with disdain, hasn't this thing been killed enough? It's not enough to kill so many Japanese people, but you still want to kill North Koreans?
Hu Ye knew that the Li royal family in North Korea was also very unruly, if time permitted, he wouldn't mind going to North Korea to deter the Li family by the way, but it had been half a year since he went to sea, and he still wanted to go back and wait for his son to come, where would he have time to go to North Korea.
"Uncle Fanchang, I think Cheng Guogong is right, if we sail directly to Wusongkou, there is no small island to anchor in the middle, and there will be no supplies, what if there is an accident?" Zheng San also agreed with Zhu Neng.
Zhu Neng glanced at Zheng San with great satisfaction, this is like what a eunuch said.
"That's it, this is my preview for you." Hu Ye simply rejected Zhu Neng and Zheng San's proposals.
"What rehearsal?" Zheng San asked curiously.
"You don't have to worry about this, you will know when you return to Nanjing." Hu Ye said casually. (To be continued......)
