In Guoqu County, East China Sea, 200 400-material warships, fighting ships, grain ships, and troop carriers were assembled, and a group of skilled sailors and sailors were busy carrying grain, grass, fresh water, bows and arrows, and oil.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Shengpi, the generals of the Fubo Legion, insisted on being sharp and carried out the final inspection before going to sea.

Zheng Zhilong has a special class "Zheng Jiajun", and Xu Sheng has a special class "Soochow Archer". According to the establishment of Chutian, the Fubo Legion had 50,000 soldiers and sailors, and nearly 1,000 warships, mainly 400 warships.

"There was no time to train this time, so the lord ordered us to attack Jeju Island. The Goryeo Kingdom did not know how many soldiers were left to defend Jeju Island, but it was inevitable that it would be successful, so it could only train its troops in battle. ”

"We have quite a few warships still in production, and the average rank of the sailors is less than 30."

"The Liaodong Army is attacking Goryeo, pinning down almost all the forces of Goryeo, and there is no better time to surprise Jeju Island."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the undulating Yellow Sea.

This was the second expedition of the Fubo Legion.

The first time the Fubo Army went out on an expedition was when it attacked Qingzhou, it was basically fighting on land......

This surprise attack on Jeju Island in Goryeo could only rely on the Fubo Army itself.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while.

"General Zheng, General Xu, all ships are ready to go to sea at any time."

The officials who counted the situation of each ship came to report to Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng glanced at each other, and most of them could go to sea.

"General Xu, the situation has changed!"

Just as Xu Sheng was about to ask the sailors to lift anchor, a subordinate of the Fubo Legion hurriedly arrived to prevent Xu Sheng from going to sea.

"What's changed?"

"The lord has an order, transfer General Xu Sheng to Yanzhou East County, assemble the Yellow River ferry, and transport military rations to Jizhou!"

"What about the crusade against Jeju Island?"

"The lord made it clear that General Zheng Zhilong can do it alone. The crusade against Jeju Island is still in order. ”

Chu Tian's meaning is obvious, he wants to go to Xu Sheng alone.

As for Zheng Zhilong attacking alone, Chu Tian would not worry about Zheng Zhilong being self-reliant, because the money and food of the Fubo Legion were all controlled by Chu Tian.

Jeju Island is just an island, not a climate.

Zheng Zhilong shrugged his shoulders, he wanted to fight alone, he could only say that Chu Tian believed in his ability too much.

"It's up to you this time."

Xu Sheng said goodbye to Zheng Zhilong and rushed to Dongjun.

He already understood the significance of his trip to Dongjun - Chutian's attack on Hebei required a naval general to sit in the town and transport grain and grass from the south of the Yellow River to Baigou north of the Yellow River.

The supply of grain and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops was very cumbersome, and it was undoubtedly the fastest to transport grain by water.

Zheng Zhilong saw Xu Sheng leave, so he waved his arms: "Go to sea!" ”

With Zheng Zhilong's order, five hundred ships left Qu County and sailed towards the Yellow Sea.

This was the first national war that Chu Tian launched in the main world. Although the real protagonist of the attack on Goryeo was the Liaodong Army, Mingguan ate meat, and Chutian just sent the Fubo Army to drink soup, but it was also to beat the Goryeo stick and carve up the largest island of Goryeo......

Jeju Island is an excellent horse-producing area, and many of the war horses of Goryeo come from Jeju Island.

At the same time, Jeju Island was located between the Han Empire and the Wa Kingdom, and could be used as a springboard for attacking the Wa Kingdom.

Five hundred ships entered the range of the teleportation array in Qu County, and the scene in front of them changed, and they had already entered the depths of the Yellow Sea.

Because of the size of Lords, the port's teleportation array can shorten the voyage by about 3/4.

According to Zheng Zhilong's estimate, it only takes ten days to sail to Jeju Island.

……

Dongying, Hirado Castle, and Mi Zhu, the captain of Dongdu, have been active in this city for a long time. Hirado Castle is still under the direct control of the player Daimyo Yoshimori Taira, although Taira Yoshimori has surrendered to the Shimazu clan.

The Shimazu clan was arrogant towards the merchants from the Han Empire, but in the Third National War, the Shimazu clan suffered heavy losses, and the Shimazu clan never dared to underestimate the Han Empire from then on, and treated the merchants of the Han Empire with a much more tolerant attitude.

Dongying's name is a cheap bone, and if they are too humble to them, they will be arrogant. If they are strong, they will be soft.

In the third national war, they finally learned to be good people.

As with the great princes of the Han Empire, Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo immediately began to attack from afar after returning to the main world.

Oda Nobunaga, who had already gone to Luo, joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hojo Shiyasu to attack Takeda Shingen, and Oda Nobunaga recruited many ancient generals to further compress Takeda Shingen's living space.

Although Takeda Shingen had the characteristics of a "wind forest volcano", his sphere of influence retreated under the suppression of ancient generals such as Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Hojo Shiyasu, and Minamoto Yoshitsune.

The eastern kingdom and Gyeonggi were in flames, and the Mori family, the Shimazu family, and the Chosamune family of the western kingdom fought against each other in order to compete for the hegemony of the western country.

Mi Zhu is a chess piece of Chutian to monitor Dongying, and he knows Dongying's situation very well.

Recently, Chu Tian asked him to get two things in Dongying, arquebuses and gunpowder, to form the Shenji Battalion.

Mi Zhu didn't know what arquebuses and gunpowder were, but that didn't stop him from moving.

In the final analysis, a firearm is just a commodity, and all tangible things can be regarded as commodities bought and sold.

The place where Toei's specialty arquebus is produced is Tanegashima, the territory of the Shimazu retainer Tanegashima clan. In the early 16th century, the Portuguese arquebus was introduced to Tanegashima. Therefore, the Shimazu family in "Lord" has a special class "Iron Artillery Team", and the arquebus equipped by the Iron Artillery Team is produced in Tanegashima.

Mi Zhu specifically found the lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori, and conspired to buy arquebuses and black powder from Hei Yoshimori.

The production of firearms and black powder in Lords requires drawings and is rare in number. I really can't buy blueprints, and buying arquebuses and black powder at a high price is also a way, the same as buying a war horse from Longyou.

Trade has never been a zero-sum game, but a complementary.

When Ping Yisheng heard that the lords of the Han Empire managed to buy arquebuses and black powder, he couldn't help frowning: "Ordinary troops can't use arquebuses, and the price of arquebuses is high, no less than war horses. Could it be that your Han Empire also has its own firearms? ”

Taira Yoshimori can become a daimyo on Kyushu Island under Dongying, not a mediocre person, and he deduces that Chutian is trying to form an elite army armed with arquebuses through Mi Zhu's behavior of wanting to buy arquebuses and black powder.

Firearms are rare, but not impossible, and every civilization will have at least one or two firearms units.

For example, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Shenji Battalion in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Iron Artillery Team and the Horse Iron Artillery Team (Date Masamune) in the Dongying District, and the Turkish musketeers of the Ottoman Empire......

It is very likely that these classes are all Rank 8 troops, and only they can use firearms.

Firearms, like heavy cavalry, are expensive and are the trump card of various princes or daimyos.

Mi Zhu replied, "I'm just a merchant, and as long as Hirado Castle manages to get the firearms we want, the price is negotiable." ”

Ping Yisheng muttered: "According to the treaty of commerce, there is no exchange of weapons between the two sides. I have a way to get the iron cannon produced in Tanegashima here, but why should I sell it to the Han Empire? If one day we fight against each other, I am ashamed of the people of this place. ”

That's not true. Han will not grow much because of a batch of arquebuses. A batch of arquebuses is just a drop in the bucket for our Han Dynasty. The Lord buys firearms from you, so please don't miss this opportunity. The lord has said that as long as you trade in firearms with us, you and your descendants will always be the lord of Hirado Castle, and you will never break your word. ”

In order to encourage Ping Yisheng to sell firearms to the Han Empire, Mi Zhu made a blank check.

"Please let me think about ......"

Taira Yoshimori fell into deep thought.

Selling firearms to other civilized areas?

This means huge profits, but also means betraying the players of the East Ying Kingdom.

"We will keep the matter of the firearms trade strictly confidential and will never let the rest of the Dongying strangers know. If you don't want to trade firearms with us, we have no choice but to go to Tanegashima and trade with the Tanegashima clan and the Shimazu clan. The Shimazu clan was at war with the Mori clan and should have been in a hurry to get a batch of gold and silver. ”

Mi Zhu has a backup option, and he believes that Taira will eventually compromise.

The Daimyo of Dongying were at war with each other and would not refuse the proposal of the Chutian forces. After Mi Zhu figured out the complex relationship between the daimyo of Dongying, he began to take advantage of the contradictions between the daimyo to profit from it.

In addition, the condition of being the lord of Hirado Castle forever was extremely tempting to Heira Yoshimori.

If he can't unify Dongying, it seems that being a city lord like an earth emperor forever is already the best way out.

In addition to arquebuses, gunpowder also had special drawings.

Mi Zhu bought 500 arquebuses and the corresponding amount of gunpowder from Ping Yisheng in one go.

At the same time, Kyushu Island sold firearms to Oda Nobunaga's forces and courted the Oda family.

The current Oda family has the support of the Tokugawa family, the Hojo family, and the Shimazu family, and the enemies of Oda Nobunaga, the daimyo such as the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, and the Mori family, have to join forces.

Mi Zhu looked at it in his eyes.

He wanted to instigate Chutian to send troops to Dongying, but Chutian's strategic focus was on Hebei, and he was powerless about the situation in Dongying.

Taira Yoshimori had been operating on Kyushu Island for several years, and he really had the means to provide Mi Zhu with 500 arquebuses and the corresponding gunpowder.

Mi Zhu had the firearms shipped back to the Han Empire.

This batch of firearms arrived in Xuzhou when Zheng Zhilong sent troops.

Chu Tian got a batch of arquebuses and couldn't wait to recruit the infantry of the 500 Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion is divided into infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which is one of the high-level arms and the only firearms in Chutian's hands.

Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire only brought a few hundred Turkish musketeers to participate in the national war, so 500 arquebuses are already quite a lot.

The infantry of the Shenji Battalion armed with arquebuses belongs to the eighth-order special class, and the recruitment cycle is three months.

The battle to pacify Hebei may last more than three months, so the Shenji Battalion can intervene in the battlefield in the middle or late stages.

"The arquebus that Mi Zhu got is not enough, we can exchange gold for firearms with the other party, and then use force to take ......the gold back in the future."
