Chapter 35 Attacking the Japanese State and Seeking Silla
Taking advantage of the fact that the two countries of Baekje and Silla were fighting each other, the Wa Kingdom, which had always been known for its indecency, happily dispatched an army of nearly 10,000 people to Tamna to pick up the bargain.
A few days later, the naval forces of Qu Liulang's army, which had been cruising on the sea, encountered nearly 100 large and small ships of the Japanese kingdom in a southerly direction more than 100 miles east of Jeju Island.
The leading Japanese generals were still imagining how to quickly capture Jeju Island and then attack Baekje, and then join forces with the Silla army to destroy Baekje and divide it equally.
As a result, the Japanese people who were dreaming of a sweet dream, and they didn't even see the shadow of Jeju Island (Tamna Island), and they met Wang Ze's navy in the middle of the road.
At sea, when the distance of view was very long, about thirty miles apart, the two fleets saw each other.
However, the Japanese people felt good about themselves for some reason, and they took the initiative to approach Qu Liulang's fleet, and the naval ships led by Qu Liulang were really good, and the speed of the ships was twice as fast as that of the Japanese people.
So in this case, the fleets of the Japanese and Qu Liulang quickly approached, and then the Japanese fleet was caught by the Jeju Navy and beaten.
Needless to say, the ship was equipped with so many advanced weapons such as rockets and gunpowder bombs, and the navy was clearly bullying people.
Of the hundreds of Japanese ships that came, less than half of them escaped, and none of the remaining ships were captured.
It's not because the Japanese people are too tenacious, and they advocate what bushido at this time, but because when Qu Liulang set off, Wang Ze sent a message to him, and he didn't want a Japanese prisoner.
Originally, Qu Liulang still thought that he could catch another batch of slaves and come back, but now that construction is under construction everywhere on the island, the original more than 3,000 Tamna slaves are simply not enough.
Who knew that when he was leaving, Wang Ze did not allow him to bring back a Japanese captive, Qu Liulang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked Wang Ze the reason.
As a result, Wang Ze told him seriously that these Japanese men are very dirty and lazy, and they usually work at home as 'women' of the Japanese Kingdom.
It is better to kill more Japanese men to consume some strength, and it will be very convenient to rob those diligent Japanese 'women' in the future.
So Qu Liulang did everything according to Wang Ze's words without any discount, and set fire to the ships of the Japanese Kingdom that could not be intercepted and escaped, and sent them all to the bottom of the sea.
Standing on the deck of the flagship, Qu Rokuro watched a mile away, the ships of the Japanese Sea were slowly burning and sinking into the sea, and he liked this feeling of victory.
The ship's chief mate was already urging the sailors to sort out the crossbow arrows and unused gunpowder rounds on the deck, which had to be counted and sent back to the warehouse.
At this time, Qu Liulang heard someone on the boat shouting at him in the distance, and when he raised his eyes, it turned out to be Du Sheng, the second captain of the navy.
I only heard Du Sheng shouting loudly to Qu Liulang: "Sixth brother and sixth brother, why don't you want a prisoner this time, what a good labor!" ”
As he spoke, Du Sheng's ship approached Qu Liulang's flagship, and with the help of the cable on the mast, it 'swung' to Qu Liulang's side, and the sailors on the nearby ships all shouted loudly when they saw it.
Looking at the guy in front of him who loves to sell 'tricks', Qu Liulang glanced at him, and then said to him: "When I came, Xiao Langjun had already ordered that not a single Japanese person should be taken in in this battle!" We must hurt them as much as possible, otherwise they will stick to us like dog skin plasters in the future. ”
Du Sheng in front of him said disapprerovitously: "Here, let's beat them again to see if they don't remember 'sex' for a long time!" ”
Qu Liulang saw that this guy was not serious, and reprimanded: "It's different now, you have to know that there are our family members and relatives on Jeju Island now; If it's not good, and it's stolen ashore by these Japanese people, will you regret it then? ”
Listening to Qu Liulang's reprimand, Du Sheng understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, that attitude was good!
Seeing that Qu Liulang didn't reprimand himself, Du Sheng began to mumble again: "Alas, it's a pity that you want to catch more slaves when you come back to fight this time!" ”
Qu Liulang didn't look at him this time, facing the sea, there was no shadow of the Japanese ships in the distance, and he said to Du Sheng for a long time: "These Japanese men are too lazy to do anything, and their appearance is still ugly, what a pity!" ”
Seeing Qu Liulang ignore himself for a long time just now, Du Sheng, who was still a little worried in his heart, immediately replied: "What the sixth brother said is extremely true, but I heard that the 'girl' of the Japanese country is quite diligent, and they are usually 'operated' at home, and their appearance is quite 'beautiful', why don't our brothers take this opportunity to 'get' a batch?" ”
Qu Liulang glared at him and said, "Hurry up and fart!" If you act without authorization and 'mess' up Xiao Langjun's plan, you and I can't afford it! ”
Then Qu Liulang naturally said to himself: "Don't worry, there will always be land, there will always be cattle and sheep, and the 'women' of the Japanese country you want will also have it, and in a few years, I am afraid that the Japanese country will also be our territory!" ”
After that, he ignored Du Sheng, drove him back to his ship, and then ordered all ships to form a marching formation and prepare to return home.
On April 29th, the Dragon Boat Festival was just a few days away, and the fleet carrying the second batch of immigrants came again, and this time the fleet also brought more than 10,000 immigrants.
Except for the three or four thousand who were the families of the remaining soldiers, the others were the young and strong families on the island. Wait for the fleet to make another trip to pull all the migrants out.
This time, the resettlement method is the same as the last one, except that the families of the soldiers who came this time are settled in the southwest of the island, although the conditions are not as good as those in the southeast, but it is also a good place.
The rest of the group and their families were divided into 11 villages, mainly in the western and northern parts of Jeju Island. The families of the new soldiers were divided into four villages, plus the nine villages of the first settlers, for a total of twenty-four settlements.
In addition, there is a city in the southeast that has just begun to be planned and constructed, and the entire island is only allowed to accommodate no more than 150,000 people in the future according to Wang Ze's ecological plan.
When the fleet arrived, it also transported a batch of refurbished old weapons, which were loaded at the bottom as ballast materials until the next day.
These refurbished old weapons are all ready to be sold to the Baekje people, in the words of the blacksmith Cao, these weapons are of poor iron quality, and it takes more charcoal to burn them back into molten iron, which is too 'wasteful' and costly, it is better to coat a layer of steel and re-sell them to the Baekje people, anyway, the Baekje people want to buy weapons from us.
So tens of thousands of weapons captured from the Baekje army went around at the blacksmith Cao, and then returned to the hands of the Baekje people in a different way.
Buyeo Wang, who got the news, rushed to Wang Ze on Jeju Island early in the morning of the third day, and looked at nearly 10,000 "fine" weapons of various "colors", and he was already excited.
Especially when Fuyu Wang saw that the blade of the weapon was still a steel blade, he immediately held Wang Ze's hand, and his 'excited' mouth was speechless.
On the second day, Baekje sent 5,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep, all of which were good farming cattle, not the untrained cattle that had been bought from the Khitans.
After the last time the naval army defeated the Japanese people, the Baekje people had already sent 1,000 ploughing cattle and a large amount of grain, which was regarded as a thank you gift for entrusting Wang Ze to block the Japanese sailors.
This time, the Baekje people bought weapons and offered a batch of cattle and sheep grain, but I am afraid that the people of Baekje also wanted to get compensation from the Silla people.
Wang Ze speculated in his heart, but his face was silent, and he accepted the cattle and sheep and 5,000 stone of grain sent by Baekje.
However, when Buyeo Wang left, he still said that this batch of weapons was afraid that it would not be enough, and hoped that the next time the fleet came again, Wang Ze would be able to sell more weapons to Baekje.
Wang Ze promised very well, but he was thinking that if he still wanted to buy weapons, it would depend on the performance of your Baekje army on the battlefield.
If you still can't resist the offensive of the Silla people, you don't need to say it, I have to sell weapons to you in the paste, so that you can fight to the death with the Silla people.
But if the people of Baekje are mighty and fight the Silla people crying and shouting for their mothers to pull reinforcements everywhere, then my brother won't have so many weapons for you.
Besides, there are 24 villages on Jeju Island, with an average population of about 24,500 per village, which can already be regarded as a small town.
Each village has to build a militia battalion of 500 people, and it needs a lot of weapons.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no iron mines on Jeju Island, and even the countries of Baekje, Silla, and Wakoku had very few iron mines, Wang Ze would have dragged a group of people such as Cao Blacksmith from the iron workshop to the island.
After sending off Fuyu Wang and arranging many immigrants, Wang Ze finally made time to take care of the white wolf camp he had established.
On this day, in a big tent in the White Wolf Battalion's station, the six acting captains of the White Wolf Camp stood upright one by one.
As soon as he saw Wang Ze come in, Zhu Bofu made a grimace at his good brother, which was regarded as a greeting, and he didn't care about Zhu Bofu's grimace.
Wang Ze walked back and forth in front of the six teenagers, looking at the few people in front of him, these people were all teenagers who performed relatively well and had good martial arts when the White Wolf Camp was first established last year.
However, when fighting with the Baekje people last year, except for the first captain Xu Zheng and the second captain Zhu Bofu, who performed remarkably in this battle, the others could only be said to be decent, and there was nothing 'outstanding'.
Although Zhu Bofu's martial arts are not the strongest, because he has always been good at observing words and feelings, he found a group of Baekje soldiers in the battle under the leadership of a hundred commanders who were about to escape.
So he led his young men to block the escape of the dozens of Baekje soldiers, bought time for the soldiers under the command of Cheng Chong to annihilate those Baekje soldiers, and personally led the team to kill two Baekje soldiers and made a war achievement.
Xu Zheng is the nephew of Xu Ming, the chief instructor of the cottage lion cub battalion, although he did not kill the enemy this time, he was the first to spot the Baekje soldiers who attacked in a roundabout way because he served as a horse scout, and was rewarded for his good cooperation in the process of attacking the enemy army.
Although the other four acting captains have good martial arts and their ability to charge into battle is also 'strong', their ability to command operations is a little worse.
After circulating in the big tent for half a day, Wang Ze decided to set up a pilot army and transfer these captains to a battalion that was more suitable for them, after all, they were all talents, and they couldn't be 'wasted'.
