Chapter 387: Entering the Port to Recuperate
For their own country, their own identity.
Fujiki and Saburo Tanashita had already set it aside a long time ago.
After all, a country that doesn't have enough to eat doesn't have anything to be nostalgic about.
"It's a pity. The two of us are not Ming people! β
"We will be!" Fujiki said first.
...
In fact, there is a certain difference from what many people think in their hearts.
Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't have too much nervousness in his heart about the Ming Dynasty's attack.. What he was nervous about was just a little headache because the Ming Dynasty had not lost a single defeat in the three wars against Mongolia, Annan, and Houjin.
And in the opinion of Tokugawa Iemitsu and many shogunate military attachΓ©s.
The situation within the Wa kingdom was far more complicated than in the vast and sparsely populated areas, and the first and most troublesome problem was the peasant uprisings that were now prevalent.
As Tokugawa Iemitsu said in Edo Castle: "I don't believe . . . The peasant rebel army will also unconditionally support the Ming army, as long as the Ming army dares to attack. We can make the Ming army come and go! β
But what he didn't know was that there was now the largest force within the peasant rebel army.
That is, the Kyushu Island series.
The two teenagers, Saburo Tanashita and Ken Fujiki, had already ascended to the core of the Japanese peasant rebel army.
Controls nearly half of the rebel army.
Will the peasant rebel army really attack the Ming army?
It's really an unknown...
But at this moment, Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Tanaka Hidejie very excitedly in Edo Castle, and said, "You mean... After the Ming army received our money, they left Edo Port? β
"Yes.. General! β
"Sure enough, although the army of the Ming Kingdom is sharp, the officials of the Ming Kingdom are really confused!"
"General... Where are we next? β
"There's no rush next! Wait a minute, the number of troops in Edo Castle is already more than 100,000! β
For a long time, the Wa State and the Ming Dynasty used bribery in almost every place when doing business, but they didn't know that all of this was set up for them by Zhu Youzhen or Bi Ziyan early.
Every time he received the silver from the envoys of the Japanese state, he turned his head and went into Zhu Youzhen's royal treasury.
And those things that can be done.
It's all booked early.
If they really don't give the silver, maybe it will be the Ming who is in a hurry.
For example, a large number of Japanese banknotes were printed before, so Bi Ziyan reported to Zhu Youzhen the news that the total profit may exceed 80 million Ming Dragon Yuan.
And this operation also completely discredited the shogunate in the economic level of the Japanese country.
Many people are complaining and saying that they can't live.
One ring after another, every step of Tokugawa Iemitsu is counted in it.
....
It didn't take a few days.
The five Ming ironclad ships that razed the port of Edo to the ground in the Wa Kingdom successfully completed the achievement of circumnavigating the southern coastline of the Wa Kingdom and successfully arrived on the island of Kyushu.
At the port, there were already many soldiers of the peasant rebel army waiting here.
Unlike the samurai of the shogunate, these people were originally farmers of the Wa Kingdom, and with the abolition of the Wa State banknotes, they not only lost their land, but most importantly, their lives were already in jeopardy.
That's why he put down the hoe in his hand and chose to pick up the weapon provided by Daming.
And the Tokugawa shogunate, so for them... As long as you can make your life better, or you can make your family live a better life in the future.
These peasants of the Wa Kingdom were able to burst out with combat effectiveness that no one expected.
Unlike on the island of Honshu as a commander within the peasant rebel army, on the island of Kyushu... The status of the two teenagers, Saburo Tanashita and Ken Fujiki, is quite high.
After all, almost all of them have been helped by both of them to a greater or lesser extent when they can't survive.
"Report to the Governor! In front of you is the Port of Hope on Kyushu Island! There seem to be quite a few people on the docks... We should be in place! β
The observer on the lead ship also had a telescope, and after seeing the port, he immediately found Zhao Yunkai to report.
"Sure enough... Before we arrived, Chai Nan had already arranged everything. β
Inside the command room.
Zhao Yunkai's voice came out with this imminent report.
"Ready to enter the port!"
"Yes! Your Excellency the Governor! β
It's not that Zhao Yunkai is defenseless, after all, according to the previous plan, if they didn't come to deliver the updated information during the process of going to Kyushu Island, then everything would be normal on Kyushu Island.
They can even enter the port without exploring.
The port was built very large.
Five ironclad ships slowly entered the pre-marked and named port of Lookout Point.
Zhao Yunkai led a group of naval officers to slowly walk down from the warship, and Chai Nan, who was not far away, took Saburo Tanashita and Fujiki to meet them when they saw it.
"Lord Zhao, are things going well?"
The first to speak was Chai Nan, who was eager to know the situation in Edo Port.
"Chai-sama.. It's natural, and the port of Edo will become history! β
"Hahaha! Good! Hurry up and call the sailors on board to come down and feel the customs of Kyushu Island... As soon as the army arrives, we will be able to wave our troops north at any time! β
"Then we might as well be respectful!"
...
Saburo Tanashita and Fujiki first built a large number of temporary facilities in the port of Wangjiao, the purpose of which was to ensure that the soldiers of the five Daming Shandong Naval Divisions who came this time could rest again.
The huge ironclad ship starts from the moment it enters the port.
It amazed many soldiers of the Japanese peasant rebel army, after all, they had never seen such a huge iron lump... In particular, the swarthy muzzle of the cannon made many people feel frightened.
Someone even found Saburo Tanashita and said, "Saburo-kun, are they from the Ming Dynasty to help us resist the shogunate's army?" β
"Exactly! With their help, we will be able to better complete the uprising! β
Saburo Tanashita responded with a smile.
"Wow! Are you sure? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw such a huge ship.."
"Hahaha! Hurry up and arrange food, these Ming sailors have been sailing at sea for a long time, and we need to provide them with food quickly! β
"Hey! Good! β
Rest, for a better offense.
You must know that at this stage, although the strength of the shogunate has been hit hard by the outbreak of the peasant uprising, the Tokugawa family, which can make Toyotomi Hideyoshi cry, is not an idle person in any case.
During the meal, Zhao Yunkai was exchanging more information with Chai Nan about the shogunate and the Japanese state.
