A large troop carrier with a displacement of 2,000 tons can carry 2,000 soldiers, which is already the limit of the load, after all, people are not goods, they can be stacked casually, and the problems of grain, grass and fresh water must be considered.

A total of 50,000 troops were dispatched, and 30 troop carriers alone were dispatched, fortunately, the shipbuilding industry has been vigorously developed in recent years, otherwise, Wang Xuan really does not have such a large long-distance operation capacity now.

The reason why he brought such a person, Wang Xuan was also thinking of a quick solution, don't look at how he can't look down on Xiao Ri on weekdays...... Son, but in this era, the big fart of the Wa Kingdom did feed a lot of people.

More than 12 million people!

It is hard to imagine that such a volcanic country, with an area of just over three points the size of Zhejiang, could develop such a large population in this era.

It's no wonder that eating a rice ball is a big meal!

According to the information collected by Wang Xuan, the population of the entire Kyushu Island is more than that of Annan and the north, with a population of two million!

In this way, plus the escort warships, the transport ships transporting various materials, the entire fleet is close to sixty, in fact, many transport ships will not go to Kyushu Island with this Wang Xuan after arriving in the Wa Kingdom, according to the plan, this batch of transport ships transporting a large number of materials will be dispersed into three teams, some to Tokyo, some to Kyoto, and some to Iwami Province in the north.

These are 'serious' merchant ships, and the purpose of going to these places is to sell goods!

"Lord, let's go to attack the Japanese country, slaughter the city and destroy the country, and occupy the land, this, this, this ......" Sun Chuanting pointed to the transport ships full of various goods behind the fleet, and asked with a tangled face: "Is this a little inappropriate, this is too undignified!" ”

These were all transport ships with a deadweight of 2,000 tons, loaded with a large amount of cloth, porcelain, tea, silk, sugar, wine, ironware and some luxury goods...... Huge profits!

For example, cloth, now the price of cloth in Fujian is outrageously cheap, that is, tea, are also super-large-scale planting, the abundance of grain, the development of wine-making technology has led to a significant decline in the cost of wine, not to mention ironware, if it is not for porcelain, silk and sugar, the cost of these goods does not exceed 30W taels, even if the cost of those valuables is less than 700,000.

Of course, this can't be calculated in terms of cost, this is still the goods prepared by Wang Xuan are different from other maritime merchants, those maritime merchants will only traffic luxury goods due to the limitation of ship carrying capacity and so on, and the profit can reach more than fifteen times, but Wang Xuan's idea is dumping, and he must find a way out for the mass-produced products!

"No, Sun Chuanting, what is the meaning of encroachment!" Wang Xuan was very unhappy with this statement, "Do you know how to speak, this is called 'friendly communication', 'playing in agreement', besides, what does this have to do with whether or not to do business, whether it is a war or not, people always have to eat and dress, so business can't be stopped!" ”

After thinking about it, Wang Xuan added, "No, this is called ***** circle, we are not going to attack the Japanese country, nor are we going to slaughter the city and destroy the country, you have to make it clear that we are going to save the people of the Japanese country who are in dire straits!" ”

"Do you know what the people of the Japanese country eat every day? How bad is the food? How tattered are you wearing? How aggrieved is it to live? I can tell you very responsibly that they eat worse than the pigs we raise, they wear clothes that don't cover their bodies, they don't even have underwear, and their daughters-in-law share them! Speaking of this, Wang Xuan looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, looking compassionate.

"Huh?" Sun Chuanting looked incredulous, "Isn't the country very rich, otherwise, why would so many people traffic goods over there and make a lot of money." ”

Indeed, normally speaking, where there are more rich people, the money is easy to earn, and it is especially a poor ghost place where you can't eat, how can you make money.

"After all, silver can't be eaten, and the poor in that place are only left with money." Wang Xuan didn't know how to describe the Wa Kingdom, so he could only use such a statement, you can hardly imagine that the nobles of the Wa Kingdom would be poor and malnourished, and even the emperor would have a short life, and when he saw that period of history by chance, Wang Xuan didn't know what posture to use to laugh.

Facing Sun Chuanting, who was not good at sycophancy, Wang Xuan had no choice but to personally go down to guide, waved away everyone around, leaving him and Sun Chuanting standing at the bow of the boat, Wang Xuan said in a low voice: "Listen, remember, in the history books, this paragraph should be written like this, in the spring of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, the liberator of the people, the pioneer of the ocean, the leader of the new regime, the developer of the new world, the great leader Wang Xuan, heard that the people of the Japanese country were not full of food, did not have warm clothes, and lived in dire straits, and couldn't help but burst into tears. ”

"Immediately, under the ardent expectation of the people of the Japanese country, and under the plea of the envoy, he led a hundred warships, went through thousands of hardships, went through hardships and tribulations, crossed the vast sea, and saved the people of the Japanese country from the situation of freezing and starvation, from the brutal oppression and exploitation of the nobles, after an arduous battle, experienced the front line, took the lead, braved the bow and arrow, and wore several wounds, so as to save the people of the Japanese country!"

"Of course, you don't have to copy it, you have to polish it more." After speaking, Wang Xuan looked at Sun Chuanting beside him, only to see that his eyes were about to bulge, and his face was broken, looking at Wang Xuan blankly, he couldn't believe that the words just now came out of Wang Xuan's mouth.

I'm afraid it's not a fake!

In his impression, Wang Xuan is a straightforward and neat person, who hates nonsense the most, and doesn't like other people's flattery, at least, he has never seen anyone come over to slap sycophants during the time he has been with Wang Xuan.

Even if there are a few people who are good at sycophancy, they are actually very strong in personal ability, such as Fan Wencheng.

But now Wang Xuan actually said such words, which he couldn't even describe with boasting, which made him unbelievable.

"No, what's your expression?" Damn, Wang Xuan looked entangled, at this point, Sun Chuanting really can't do anything!

This expression made Wang Xuan himself blush a little.

"You are also a Confucian person, don't you know what Spring and Autumn brushwork is!? This is the essence of Confucianism! Do you want to record that I took 50,000 people to the Japanese kingdom to kill bloody, killing millions of people, bleeding and drifting, blood soaked the earth, a hundred miles of uninhabited, not a single grass grows? ”

"Don't I Wang Xuan want to lose face!"

"Ahh Only then did Sun Chuanting react, this ...... It really can't be written like that, it's simply not enough to describe the evil way!

Looking at Sun Chuanting, who finally understood more, Wang Xuan was a little helpless, this person, he was a little annoying if he was too upright, no wonder later, he resolutely refused to be in the same boat with his immediate boss Yang Sichang and other ministers of the DPRK and China, and was finally imprisoned for three years and tortured.

"Lord, that ......" Sun Chuanting stumbled a few words, and then said: "Is it really to save people and not kill people?" ”

"Of course, it's to save people, but war, it will inevitably cause some casualties, and there is no way to do it." Wang Xuan said meaningfully.

Sun Chuanting obviously didn't grasp the key, and just nodded silently, although he wondered why Wang Xuan's attitude towards the Japanese and the Annan people was very different.

The fleet wandered at sea for about ten days, passed through a supply port, and finally arrived at the Ryukyu Kingdom, where the Ryukyu King greeted him at the dock with hundreds of civil and military officials, and on that day, Wang Xuan cordially held a friendly meeting with the Ryukyu King, presented him with a book of inspection, and signed a series of treaties.

The treaty stipulates that from now on, the Ryukyu Kingdom will abolish the Ryukyuan language, use Chinese characters, speak Chinese, wear Hanfu, and use Chinese customs...... and a series of equal treaties.

After a day of repairing and continuing to set off, although there were occasional storms along the way, there were ports of call that had been discovered long ago, and all the way to the vicinity of Wakuni was smoothly reached, and the main fleet was divided into four fleets near the Osumi Strait, and the main fleet headed straight for Kyushu Island.

……

Wakoku, Kyushu Island, Shimazu clan.

Kyushu Island is divided into Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Higo, Hinata, Satsuma, Osumi, a total of nine countries, so called Kyushu, of which Hinata, Satsuma, Osumi three countries, are all under the control of the Shimazu clan, in fact, if it were not for the invitation of Otomo Sorin, who had already mastered the central power, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had already mastered the central power, to send troops to attack Kyushu 25W, the Shimazu family almost completely controlled the entire Kyushu Island.

Yes, 250,000, historically known as the "Kyushu Expedition".

Of course, the so-called 250,000 troops are almost all composed of peasants, so we have to talk about the military system of the Japanese state.

The so-called army was mainly composed of peasants, and the weapons used were mainly wooden hoes, or bamboo guns, and as for iron tools, it was impossible.

Elite infantry, also known as ashigaru, is eligible to use the spear as a weapon.

Because they can't eat enough, their combat effectiveness is very poor, and they basically only have the ability to wave the flag and shout, and they can still fight on the battlefield.

In the army, the real main combat force is the samurai, that is, those who comb their braids, shave their hair piece by piece, have a small flag behind their backs, wear bamboo armor, and hold a katana.

The samurai is a class, the lowest component of the nobility of the Japanese country, not producing, supported by the daimyo, specializing in the practice of killing people, killing and injuring the common people is not illegal, is the main embodiment of a country's combat power, how many samurai in a daimyo has, is the most important manifestation of its national strength.

Once the two countries go to war, the samurai who rush to the front are the mainstay, and basically the samurai of a country lose, then the battle cannot be fought, and it is basically certain to lose.

One of the reasons for this is that the Wa Kingdom was barren and could not arm an army on a large scale like that of China.

At this moment, the Kagoshima dock was noisy, and a large number of ashigaru people mobilized from all directions were scattered around the dock, and there were people building shacks everywhere, and there was no unified plan, and the more than 5,000 people seemed to be disorganized.

(What, it's been a long time, I haven't asked for a ticket or something, isn't it a little too serious, I officially ask for it today, cough cough, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a subscription, ask for a reward, it's the end of the month, it's good to give Wang Xuan a face!) ）
