Since he is going to teach Goryeo a heavy lesson, the information about Goryeo will naturally be more detailed.

Zhu Han sent spies from all sides to inquire about the deployment of the Goryeo Kingdom.

After some inquiry, Zhu Han was a little surprised by the current military strength of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Today's Goryeo Kingdom is one of the most powerful periods in the history of the peninsula.

Goryeo as a base for the Yuan Dynasty's eastward expedition to the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo not only has a large scale of naval troops, but even has a lot of cavalry, with the support of the Mongols, the cavalry in Goryeo is almost as many as one or two thousand, which is more than all the cavalry in Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

Moreover, the mobilization capacity of the Goryeo Kingdom is also extraordinary.

They have already gathered more than 20,000 troops in just one Jeolla province in just a dozen days.

In addition, nearly 1,000 ships, large and small, are also gathered on the shores of Jeolla Province, Jeolju, and it will not be long before they can launch an attack on Tamna Island.

In the face of the steady and steady military deployment of the Goryeo Kingdom, Zhu Han also had his own ideas.

After finding out the enemy's situation, a group of generals took the initiative to ask for battle.

Lan Yu took the lead in speaking: "Deputy Marshal, I look at the Goryeo Kingdom, it's just a group of local chickens and dogs, give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and then send me to the shore, and I will keep the more than 20,000 Goryeo people who can be killed crying dad and calling mother!" ”

Zhu Han was unimpressed by Lan Yu's request to fight.

After some investigation, he knew that the enemy general opposite, the first named Cui Ying in Goryeo, still had two brushes.

Choi Ying's defenses in Jeonju were very well-developed, and the Goryeo army had a strong defensive capability with the help of mountains and forts.

No matter how much Lan Yu's 3,000 soldiers and horses can fight, they have to pull nails one by one on the mountain, and they can die of exhaustion when they are tired.

Moreover, among the troops brought by Zhu Han this time, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and most of the rest were the Goryeo Eight Banners Army composed of Goryeo captives such as Quan Qian.

Although the combat effectiveness of these Goryeo Eight Banner Army has improved a lot compared to before, it still does not make Zhu Han feel very relieved.

Facing the first general of Goryeo, Cui Ying's department, Quan Qian and other Goryeo Eight Banner soldiers did not have much advantage.

If he really let these Goryeo Eight Banners Army fight hard, Zhu Han felt that he was wasting his time.

The provisional governor's office on Tamna Island.

Zhu Han summoned Lan Yu, Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba, Boyan Timur, Quan Qian and other generals to discuss military aircraft.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Han announced his battle plan.

"Ben Shuai intends to target Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo!"

"Let's capture the thief and capture the king first!"

"Since the Koreans have set up a defensive line in Jeonju and plan to wait for us to collide, then we will bypass this Jeonju and go north from the sea to Goryeo Kaegyong."

The Eight Banners of Goryeo Army is under the black flag of Sovereign Humble, and said with some worry on his face: "Marshal, Cui Ying, the first general of the Goryeo Kingdom, is definitely not easy to match, if our whole army goes to attack Kaijing, then Cui Ying will definitely send troops to cross the sea to attack Tamna Island, and I am afraid that Tamna Island will not be able to hold it at that time!" ”

"Moreover, Kaesong is strong, if it can't be attacked, it will be a dilemma if you lose Tamna Island!"

Kwon's concerns are not unfounded.

He is now a notorious traitor in Goryeo, and for Kwon Qian, a 'Goryeo traitor' who defected to the enemy, the most feared thing is not that tens of millions of people will scold, but that the Red Turban Army will fail to attack Goryeo!

Kwon Qian, the 'Goryeo traitor', wants the Red Turban Army to defeat the Goryeo Kingdom completely more than anyone else.

As long as the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo were defeated, they would definitely be prisoners of the Red Turban Army like Kwon Qian himself.

In this way, everyone became a prisoner.

In order to survive, everyone has to be a 'Goryeo traitor', and no one should laugh at anyone!

On the contrary, Quan Qian, the 'Goryeo traitor' who took the lead in surrendering to the Red Turban Army, will become a hero who understands current affairs!

As long as others are worse than himself, then Quan Qian will be able to wash away the stigma.

Quan Qian can naturally obtain a more transcendent status, and he will be ashamed.

Zhu Han also recognized Quan Qian's words.

He had already calculated that if he wanted to completely defeat the Goryeo Dynasty, he must have at least 30,000 troops, including a large number of sailors, because the Goryeo navy was still very large.

With the current dozen warships of the Red Turban Army, as well as dozens of merchant ships, it is impossible to defend such a large sea area as Oshikashima.

Therefore, Zhu Han immediately sent a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang, the elder brother of Jinling, and asked him to send troops to support him quickly.

On the naval dock of the Red Turban Army in Zhenjiang, Hu Dahai and others already have a large naval army, as long as they come to Tamluo Island, it is enough to control sea traffic and comprehensively crush the Goryeo naval army.

At the same time, Zhu Han sent people to seven guards in Shandong to mobilize troops.

The seven guards in Shandong can also gather about 10,000 troops, so the number of soldiers and horses under Zhu Han is enough!

Moreover, Shandong is very close to Goryeo, and if you come and go, you can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in less than half a month.

Zhu Han's envoy quickly brought the news to Jinling.

The messenger sent all the way into Jinling City.

In Jinling City, a new palace was built.

On a large gate plaque, three big words are written in gilding, Wu Wangfu!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already moved from Dingyuan City to Jinling to take charge.

Wu Wangfu is also the place where Zhu Yuanzhang settled at this time.

It's just that this palace has been built on a large scale since Zhu Han first came, and now it is still only half built.

Jinling City, Wu Wangfu.

Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and others, inspected the Wu Wang's Mansion on foot, which was under construction.

Different from the general pattern of ancient palaces, Zhu Han designed and built the Wu Palaces in accordance with the regulations of the Ming Palace from the very beginning.

The area occupied by King Wu's Mansion is very large, almost completely copying the scale of the Nanjing Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

It's just that according to the requirements of the etiquette system, there are still many houses on the outer wall, which are only part of the foundation, and the subsequent expansion and addition will have to wait for the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang to become the emperor.

The current Wu Wangfu has just built the first half of the palace, and it is almost completed.

However, even Zhu Han felt that the palace that cut corners was very gorgeous and rich in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, and even had a feeling of being too extravagant.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the palace in front of him, which had completed construction, and not only sighed.

"Alas! Seventy-five, this kid is really a bit excessive! ”

"It's too extravagant, it's so much glass used as a window!"

The glass that Zhu Yuanzhang said is glass.

In addition to the state's glass workshops, they have long been able to produce a wide variety of flat glass, and they have also been able to add mineral colors to the glass raw materials through various technologies, making more than a dozen colored glasses of different colors.

In fact, the cost of these stained glasses is very low.

It's almost cheaper than bricks, but Zhu Han sold these glasses at sky-high prices, the kind that made a lot of money.

In today's Jiangnan, a palm-sized stained glass plate basically costs at least one penny!

And these glasses are very troublesome to transport, and the farther the distance, the higher the price of these glasses.

Zhu Yuanzhang's second brother-in-law, Li Zhen and others, once reported that after these glasses were shipped to Huguang and other places, they had reached a high price of one foot of glass, and the opening was a high price of one or two silver.

One square foot of glass, one tael of silver!

It's definitely a quicker deal than a robbery.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the main hall of King Wu's mansion was using so much glass, especially stained glass as a window, he immediately felt that it was too extravagant.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the second brother-in-law Li Zhen on the side laughed.

"No luxury, no luxury! In fact, the cost of this glass is really cheap, of course we can use it, these glasses are used to inlay the windows of the main hall, very cheap! ”

"The entire palace is all down, and the cost is only one thousand taels of silver, and a lot of glass, in fact, is still scraps, and it is a waste if you don't use it, so there is no luxury at all to use it, so you don't need to use it in vain."

After some explanation from his second brother-in-law Li Zhen, Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

In the process of making glass plates, the glass plates will be cut and sorted, and many broken edges and corners of the broken glass will be broken.

These things were naturally used by Zhu Han in the process of building this palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up, and sure enough, he found something different.

Many of the windows in the Wu Wangfu are irregular shapes, and the window lattices are all irregular shapes.

The stained glass inlaid on each lattice is also different, not only in different sizes, but also in different colors, and sure enough, all of them are scraps.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and he said happily: "Since this is the case, then we can rest assured!" ”

"Our King Wu doesn't want to ride on the heads of the people to scavenge, naturally we can't enjoy it too luxuriously, it's all people's fat and people's ointment!"

"Very good, let's give you a reminder, you have to live with the thrifty method of Seventy-Five in the future!"

Second brother-in-law Li Zhen and others hurriedly praised Zhu Yuanzhang for loving the people and being thrifty.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others circled around the front hall of the palace again, and then turned their heads and walked to another courtyard.

In this annex, craftsmen are building a tall tower, and on the ground of the tower there is a strange thing.

It was about a foot wide, with a round silver-white disc in the center, marked with dense black dots, and two thick black needles in the middle of the disc.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this strange thing and was a little puzzled.

"Weird, what's this? How come we've never seen each other? ”

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's question, the second brother-in-law Li Zhen was also confused.

He was in charge of running a trading company, but he didn't know much about this strange manufacturing process.

And Li Shanchang and the others also saw this thing for the first time, and they all showed puzzled looks.

At this time, Liu Bowen next to him spoke.

"King Wu, this thing is called a clock, and it is a timekeeping tool made by the deputy marshal!"

"Clock? Although I haven't heard of it, we know these things, it must be the idea of Seven-Five! Zhu Yuanzhang said with a very useful smile.

Liu Bowen hurriedly continued to explain, "The deputy marshal said that this clock should be installed at the highest end of King Wu's mansion, so that in the entire Jinling City, whether you can see this clock or not, you can also hear the bell from it!" ”

"The deputy marshal also said that he wants everyone to be able to use an accurate timer according to this time!"

When Liu Bowen said this, his heart was full of emotion about this matter, and Zhu Han, who was willing to think about the people everywhere, made Liu Bowen admire from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Zhu Han had already planned to build a bell tower in Jinling City to make a tool for the people in Jinling City to keep time all day.

After Zhu Han had just entered Jinling, the craftsmen of the Red Turban Army were already able to make extremely accurate escapements based on Zhu Han's inspiration.

With the advanced escapement, it is not difficult to make a clock.

The clock in Jinling City was personally hammered by Zhu Han and used the strongest and most durable brass dial.

And the bell tower doesn't just have a timekeeping function.

Zhu Han has asked his craftsmen to make the bell tower, this bell tower must be unusually tall and majestic, but also look magnificent, so that it can become the new coordinate for the establishment of Jinling City.

The purpose of Zhu Han's move was to use the majesty of this bell tower in the future to deter those foreign vassal states who came to Jinling to pay tribute.

Psychologically speaking, the tall and majestic building can have a spiritual deterrent effect from the bottom of the heart of those who come into contact with it for the first time.

This is also the reason why ancient Rome, ancient Greece and other states were particularly fond of building temples and churches with tall pillars.

According to historical records, whenever those barbarians in the West saw the ancient Roman city, they were quickly shocked by the tall and majestic city walls and pantheons.

The barbarians knelt on the ground in panic, expressing their psychological submission to the tall and majestic.

Zhu Han is planning to build Jinling City into the first city in the world!

The fame of the Ming Dynasty in the future!

It is not only a political coercion, but also a victory in the hearts and minds of the people.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and others finished inspecting the palace under construction, they just walked out of the back garden of the palace and immediately met Zhu Han's envoy who came to deliver the letter.

"King Wu! Adjutant marshal, send a subordinate to ask for reinforcements. ”

Hearing that he wanted reinforcements, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly became a little nervous.

"Is there any danger in Qiwu?"

"Why do you need reinforcements?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked.

The envoy hurriedly replied, "Enlighten King Wu!" The deputy marshal didn't encounter any danger, but the deputy marshal wanted to raid the capital of Goryeo, Kaegyong! ”

"Now that Kaijing is weak and empty, the Goryeo army near Tamna Island has been assembled, and they are eyeing Tamna Island, and the deputy marshal is short of troops, so he wants the king to order the new army of the water division of the Zhenjiang Hu Dahai Institute to rush to help."

After listening to the envoy's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately relieved himself.

"It's good that there is no danger in Seven-Five!"

"Then we can rest assured!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a long sigh of relief.

"As for what reinforcements to send, don't use them in Jinling to ask for instructions, Qiwu can go directly to Hu Dahai and give an order!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

When Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, they were all relieved by the brotherly affection between King Wu and Duke Huai.

The relationship between the Wu King Zhu Yuanzhang and the Zhu Han brothers is unbreakable and so close, which is a huge advantage that they will be able to be invincible in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent an envoy to Zhenjiang.

An order was issued to Hu Dahai, asking him to send all the naval forces in Zhenjiang to the north to support Zhu Han on Tamluo Island.

Hu Dahai, who got the order, immediately became happy.

He looked at his son Hu and said, "It's okay now, Lao Tzu will take you to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Just watching them receive rewards and promotions one by one, our navy can't just know how to eat and drink here in Zhenjiang, and eat white rice, it's not like I'm a nonsense!"

According to the original military system of the Red Turban Army, there was no special naval army or naval officer system.

All the generals of the navy and army used only one official position, that is, marshals, marshals, commanders, and thousands of households in various places, and so on.

And Zhu Han had high hopes for the naval army expanded by Hu Dahai and others in Zhenjiang.

This is not just a navy that will crisscross the Yangtze River in the future, but a navy that will sail to the ocean and open up to the sea.

Therefore, Hu Dahai's current official position, in addition to a marching naval governor, Zhu Han added a new official title to Hu Dahai not long ago.

That is the admiral of the Long Xing Army.

As the only admiral of the Red Turban Army, Hu Dahai owned about 20 large and small warships in Zhenjiang.

The largest of these ships was built to the standards of the later four-stage sail strategy, and had 38 large and small guns, including eight 48-pounder guns, which could be used to destroy any wooden sailing ship that dared to come close.

In addition, even the sixth-level sail clipper, Zhu Han also ordered to be equipped with ten short and heavy guns, these short and heavy cannons can fire powerful cannonballs, and can bombard an ordinary hardwood sailing ship at a distance of fifty paces, like the ships used in traditional water warfare by the Goryeo Navy are not the opponent of these artillery warships at all.

Moreover, the sail warships produced by these Zhenjiang Dockyards are far better in quality than those built by Zhu Han in the first batch.

After all, the Suzhou Zhou family is a century-old hero, and the wood hoarded by their family's shipyard is a first-class good material, and there are the best shipbuilders in the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition to more than 20 newly built sail warships, Hu Dahai also collected more than 50 merchant ships, large and small, in Zhenjiang to carry ammunition supplies and food and other baggage accompanying the fleet.

As a result, nearly 100 warships covered the sky and the sun at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and pieces of white sails galloped towards the vast East China Sea.

At this time, the weather had entered late autumn, and the wind direction on the sea was also blowing northwest winds, and the Red Turban warships walked a zigzag route against the wind direction, all the way north.

Soon, Hu Dahai led his army to arrive at Tamna Island according to the guidance of the sea chart.

At this time, on Tamna Island, the seven guards and horses mobilized by Zhu Han from Shandong had also been assembled.

The total number of people is about 10,000.

Coupled with the naval army brought by Hu Dahai, Zhu Han now has 30,000 troops, of which 10,000 are left behind to guard Tamna Island.

At this time, the inhabitants of Tamna Island were all Koreans.

They are Koreans, so they need to have more men to guard against internal rebellions.

As for the navy, in addition to being responsible for coastal vigilance and transportation, it is necessary to make every effort to guard against the Goryeo navy across the sea.

After seeing Zhu Han, Hu Dahai was immediately excited.

"Deputy Marshal, the last general has brought you the navy!"

"Respectfully inspect the lieutenant!"

Zhu Han stood on the shore, looking at the powerful warships on the sea, and couldn't help but feel a lot of pride in his heart.

With this fleet in hand, you really have a navy!

The news that the Red Turban Army had dispatched troops to reinforce Tamna Island soon reached Goryeo.

After the Goryeo general Choi Ying learned of the information, he immediately reported to the king of Goryeo, Wang Qi, and wanted to launch a sneak attack on Tamna Island while the Red Turban Army was not firmly established.

However, at this critical moment, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, and a group of officials were a little afraid that the sneak attack would fail.

Stealing chickens doesn't make you lose rice, that's bad.

After all, in warfare since ancient times, it has been much easier to defend than to attack.

If you attack rashly, it is better to defend safely no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, the Goryeo army had already arranged various defenses in Jeolla Province and Yangguang Province.

Just wait for the Red Turbans to come ashore and let their heads bleed, no need to take risks.

If the battle is defeated, it will not only lose troops, horses and ships, but also lose the strategic initiative.

Therefore, the Goryeo monarchs and ministers did not plan to carry out a sneak attack while the Red Turban Army was weak.

In fact, this "weakness" is what Goryeo General Choi Ying thinks himself.

Although Zhu Han's defense on Tamna Island is not airtight, it is absolutely foolproof.

There is no problem in dealing with the sneak attack of the Goryeo naval army.

Timing is often fleeting.

The speed at which the Red Turban Army mobilized naval troops from Jinling and Zhenjiang, and from Shandong, was beyond the imagination of all Goryeos.

In less than half a month, all the reinforcements arrived on Tamna Island.

Under the command of Zhu Han, the Red Turban Army immediately formulated a plan to cross the sea to the north and attack Goryeo Kaijing.

According to the plan, they only need to wait until the wind and waves are a little lighter, and then they can set off immediately.

Taking advantage of this free time, the Red Turban Army was all ready to rest for battle.

Early in the morning after the day.

Zhu Han had just gotten up, washed his face and hadn't had time to be fully awake.

Suddenly.

The pro-soldiers outside brought an emergency military situation.

"Report to the deputy marshal, the navy outside has sent a warning, and a group of ships of unknown origin have appeared on the sea on the east side of the island."

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Did the Koreans come to send themselves to death?"

Zhu Han now has ten simplified versions of the Sail Battleship.

There are also more than 20 strengthened sail battleships brought by Hu Dahai, which can be said to be not a problem at all to deal with those large and small broken plank sailing ships of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Even if the Goryeo Kingdom has a huge ship equipped with sturdy ramming angles.

For a sail battleship with short and heavy guns, it is only a live target, and it is absolutely impossible for them to have a chance to rush into it.

However, the soldier's answer made Zhu Han a little surprised.

"Deputy marshal, Hu Dahai has already sent someone to investigate, it's not the Goryeo Navy of Jeolla Province, it looks like it's a Japanese from the sea in the east."

"What? Woko? ”

Zhu Han immediately frowned.

When he was about to bleed the Goryeo Kingdom, what did the Japanese come to make a fuss?

After Zhu Han came to the beach, he saw dozens of sailboats of all sizes on the sea.

These sailboats are hung with Hachiman Bodhisattva sails.

The sails of these boats are depicted with the Hachiman Bodhisattva, who is revered by the Japanese Emperor.

"These things are the Wokos?" Zhu Han asked Hu Dahai.

For these Japanese ships, Hu Dahai is also the first time to see them.

In the past, I only heard that when the wealthy merchants of Jiangnan traveled on the sea, they would often encounter the raids of the Japanese pirates.

This is the first time he has seen this living wolf.

"No matter what kind of bull, ghost, snake and god, Hu Dahai, the time for your meritorious service has come!" Zhu Han then said.

When Hu Dahai heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Deputy marshal, don't worry, I will definitely let these widows come and go." ”

Zhu Han nodded, pointed to the boats of those widows with his hand and continued, "You first send someone to check their details, if they are here to do business, then let them in for interrogation, and give them a chance to be good citizens." ”

"If they refuse to obediently stop the boat for inspection, then send them into the sea to feed the king!"

In fact, contrary to the memories that many people remember, the Japanese did not begin to appear on the East Asian seas until the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese were already plundering the sea.

Because at that time, there were already many civil wars in the Japanese island country.

Many feudal lords and samurai were wiped out, and these surviving Japanese people could only lead their retainers and generals to flee.

As they fled, they drifted out to sea, where they sought out wild islands as a base for foothold, and then waited for an opportunity to plunder passing merchant ships.

In the face of powerful maritime merchants, the Japanese will change their appearance into honest Japanese merchants because of the strength of the other party.

In this way, the Japanese who bullied the weak and feared the hard soon became the way for some Japanese exiles to survive.

Today, this one of the Japanese who appeared near Tamna Island is also such a force that was forced to flee for their lives because of the failure of the Japanese domestic struggle.

The leader of this group of Japanese is named Hojo Yoshima.

Belonging to the descendants of the Wako Hojo family, the Hojo family was also a famous nobleman in the Kamakura Shogunate period, but later with the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, the Hojo family also declined rapidly.

Hojo Yoshishin fled from the fiefdom when the family collapsed more than ten years ago, and he led some retainers and generals to the sea and became a Japanese servant on the sea.

After more than ten years of hard work, Hojo Yoshima also had a team of Japanese who thought they were very strong at this time.

There were more than 50 large and small ships, and there were nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers who were entangled.

In Hojo Yoshizane's impression, with more than 50 warships and nearly 2,000 soldiers, he can already dominate the Wajima, and even if the equipment is a little better, Hojo Yoshizane can lead these Japanese army back to their ancestral land and revitalize the glory of the Hojo family.

In order to fulfill this dream, Hojo Yoshima wants to lead his Wako to do a big job before returning to Wajima to revive the family business!

After this vote, Hojo Yoshima plans to stop!

This time I came to Tamna Island, just to take the opportunity to attack and loot, and the goal was naturally to rob some horses raised by the Mongols on the island.

The Mongols herded their horses on Tamna Island in the wild, and there were no walls or fences at all, and the horses were all free-roaming.

Prior to this, the pirates would often grab some horses on Tamna Island, and as long as they loaded them onto the boat, they could pat themselves on the butt and leave.

This time, Hojo Yoshishin and others led the Japanese fleet to Tamna Island.

They still wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to grab some of the Mongol horses, and they had done this several times before.

The Mongols on Tamna Island have long since lost their courage of the past, and their ability to deter the Japanese is not as good as before.

Especially in the face of the Japanese who came to rob by boat, the Mongols were not good at water warfare, and there was no way to take the Japanese bandits.

Tamna Island, with its horse ranch, soon became a treasure trove for the Japanese to raid repeatedly.

Wave after wave of pirates stealing horses had already numbed the Mongols on Tamna Island.

Today, the Wa Kingdom on the Dongying Islands has been divided into two dynasties, the North and the South.

The northern and southern dynasties each had their own emperors and shoguns.

The protracted melee between the two sides naturally showed great interest in the fine Mongolian war horses, and all the horses that were transported to the Japanese islands were purchased at a high price.

Hojo Yoshima, who had no place to live, naturally made a living from this way.

Robbing who is not robbing, anyway, the Mongols have no choice but to take them, and the Mongols do not rob in vain.

These Japanese invaders knew about the nearby Goryeo naval army, but for some reason, they all retreated in the area of Jeonjin Jeolla Province and could not hold out, and there was no large-scale naval army on the sea between Goryeo and Wado.

What is the situation on Tamna Island, they have also been here before.

It's so easy to steal horses at this time!

But.

When Hojo Yoshima and other Japanese ships approached Tamna Island, they noticed that the island was unusual.

There were still many soldiers shuttling back and forth on Tamna Island, far more than the three thousand that the Japanese thought they had.

"Eight squares! What the hell is going on? ”

"Why are there so many Mongolians on the island!" Hojo Yoshima leaned on the railing of the bow of the ship and shouted loudly.

There were too many Mongols on Tamna, which made it more difficult for the Japanese to sneak attack.

The Japanese have not been able to investigate Tamna Island lately.

So they didn't know that the Mongols on Tamna Island had been wiped out by the Red Turbans.

However, the Red Turban Army on Tamna Island will not give the Japanese a chance to react.

When Zhu Han saw the arrival of the Japanese Kou, he immediately asked Hu Dahai to lead the warship to dispatch.

"Hu Dahai, these widows are not good things, don't talk nonsense with them!"

"Don't let them escape, attack immediately! Don't let anyone go! ”

Zhu Han said loudly.

"The last general obeys!" Hu Dahai grinned.

The Red Turbans' warships are all the latest sail artillery warships.

If it was in the Age of Discovery.

No matter how tough the pirates are, once they see these artillery warships in action, they will definitely flee in the wilderness.

However, these Japanese robbers in front of them had never seen such a warship, and they were not aware of the danger they were about to face.

"These Mongols, there are still sailors on the island?" Hojo Yoshima was surprised.

According to the impression of the Wa people, the ability of the Mongols to fight water was simply a disaster.

It's not that the Mongols weren't strong, but that they were unlucky.

In history, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty organized two naval expeditions to the Wa Kingdom, but both encountered devastating hurricane disasters, and the huge Mongolian navy was swept away, and the Japanese won the victory without blood.

Luck is also a kind of ability.

"Roar! These ships are very strange, there are no ballistas, and there are no ramming horns, it seems that they should be mainly engaged in broadside combat! A Japanese general said from the side.

Hojo Yoshima nodded, agreeing with this statement.

In general, naval battles are often divided into long-range and melee combat.

At long range, this means destroying enemy ships with heavy ballistas, killing enemy soldiers and sailors, or burning the sails of enemy ships with rockets fired from crossbows.

Melee combat is also called broadside combat.

Get your ship close to the enemy ship, then send sailors to jump on the opponent's ship, and the two sides will engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The Wako were experienced in naval warfare and were not afraid of any broadside battles, and according to the past practice, one Wako was often able to defeat two Goryeo naval forces.

For the Mongols, who are not accustomed to water, they are even more fearless.

"Order, prepare for battle!" Hojo Yoshima shouted loudly.

With a burst of chirping Chinese sounded.

Dozens of Japanese ships formed a formation in the sea near Tamna Island under the command of the flag.

The Red Turban Army battleship led by Hu Dahai soon came to the opposite side of the Japanese warship.

It was only at this time that Hojo Yoshima and other Japanese were able to see the enemy's banner clearly.

"What, it's a red turban thief?" Yoshima Hojo was taken aback.

Hojo Yoshima, these Japanese pirates are not only pirates, but also go to Jiangnan and other places to do business honestly as serious maritime merchants on weekdays.

So, of course, Hojo Yoshima knew the banner of the Red Turban Army.

"Humph! These Red Turbans are at sea, and I am not afraid of you! ”

Hojo Yoshima smirked.

The Red Turban Army strengthened the management of maritime merchants in Jiangnan, and they were subjected to strict interrogation, making it difficult for them to loot and raid the towns in Jiangnan.

Hojo Yoshima and other Japanese robbers have long hated the Red Turban Army, and now that they meet in the East China Sea, the Japanese robbers think they can take revenge!

Hojo Yoshima and the other warships that the Japanese were planning to release red scarves approached and then engaged in broadside battles.

However, when these Red Turban warships sailed to a distance of less than a hundred paces from them, the warships suddenly turned their bows and lined up in front of them.

Hojo Yoshima and the other Japanese were shocked when they saw this.

"Are these red turban thieves stupid?"

"Is this going to be sent to death in front of us?"

The ships of the Red Turban Army lined up.

The fragile sides were exposed to the front of the warship, which had sharp iron corners, and as long as it accelerated, it could knock the Red Turban warships out of large holes.

Hojo Yoshishin and other Japanese have never seen this kind of warfare.

However, soon they will pay a heavy price for their lack of knowledge!

Hu Dahai commanded more than a dozen warships of the Red Turban Army to swing T-shaped tactics.

"Fire!"

With a roar, the guns of the Red Turban Army battleship opened one after another, and the rumbling cannon sound burst out from the Red Turban Army battleship, and the thick white smoke bloomed on the sea like white clouds.

The Japanese warships on the opposite side suddenly screamed miserably.

Shattered hulls and human stumps littered the ground.

Hojo Yoshima only felt that the world was spinning in front of him!

His ship was shaken by the fierce shelling of the Red Turbans.

As a scream came from below deck, countless would-be pirates shouted wildly on the deck.

"It's leaking!"

"It's leaking!"

Many of the ships of the Japanese were basically defenseless against the Red Turban artillery.

The wooden hull that thought it was hard was like a paper lake in the face of the scorching cannonballs.

Soon, many of the Japanese warships began to leak in large quantities, because of the shelling just now, more than ten of the Japanese warships lost their ability to fight, and the rest of the ships were also terrified!

The pirates had no intention of fighting again, and they didn't know how to deal with the terrible situation in front of them.

Hojo Yoshishin's battleship was also punched out of several big holes.

He instructed his men to hurry to plug the leaking hole, and on the other hand, he ordered the Japanese to raise the sails and prepare to turn the bow of the ship and flee from the terrible Red Turban Army in front of him.

According to the urine nature of the pirates, they generally do not know how to fight any tough battles, as long as there is a benefit, they will rush forward, and once the situation is not right, they will immediately flee.

Hojo Yoshishin and these Japanese want to escape, but the Red Turban warships on the opposite side will not give them a chance.

Seeing that the would-be would-be turned the bow of the boat and wanted to run back, Hu Dahai sneered and stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.

"Give me a full sail!"

"Pursuit! Don't let a single robber escape! ”

The sail battleships of the Red Turban Army had the best sails, and with the advantage of the wind, they quickly overtook the lagging Japanese ships.

When the guns of the Red Turban Army passed by these Japanese and overturned ships, the guns on both sides of the ships opened fire at the same time, and the rumbling sound of cannons resounded in the sky on the sea.

The ships of the Japanese were vulnerable.

Many of the pirates jumped into the sea in a panic, trying to flee to friendly ships.

But the tall side of the ship made it impossible for them to succeed, and the artillery of the Red Turban Army set off huge waves, and all the Japanese who jumped into the water and fell into the water were all beaten to the bottom of the sea.

One by one, the warships of the Japanese were destroyed on the sea, and Hojo Yoshima was almost crying at the tragic scene in front of him.

He drew his sword and shouted, causing the sailors on the ship to pull up the sails and paddle desperately.

However, the warships of the Japanese were too backward to be the opponent of the Red Turban Army's battleships, and they were soon chased up.

Seeing that there was no escape, Hojo Yoshima began to slash and kill the sailors who he thought were not working hard to paddle, trying to hide his panic with this behavior.

The Red Turban warships will not have mercy on these frightened pirates.

With the sound of cannons, the Hojo Yoshishin Japanese ship was bombarded by artillery, the mast on the Japanese ship was broken, and the sails were also tattered.

In response to this situation, many Japanese pirates raised white flags and wanted to surrender.

But it was only about an hour.

All the pirates who tried to escape were destroyed by the Red Turbans' warships, and their sails and masts were scattered over the sea.

The Japanese ship gave up the struggle, and no longer had the ability to escape.

Seeing this scene, Hu Dahai did not rush to kill them all, he ordered to put The surrendering pirates on some of the ships gathered on deck to accept the surrender.

After more than half a day of containment, nearly half of the Japanese warships were destroyed, and the remaining personnel and ships were all captured by Hu Dahai's Red Turban Army Naval Division.

Hu Dahai captured nearly 1,000 Japanese prisoners.

When these would-be robbers were escorted to Tamna Island, Zhu Han asked when he saw them.

"Which of you is in the lead?"

After being identified by a group of would-be robbers, Hojo Yoshima knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"The villain is their leader!"

"What's your name?" Zhu Han saw that this leader of the Japanese Bandits could speak fluent Chinese.

"Yoshima Hojo."

When Zhu Han heard this, he was immediately surprised.

This widow, that is, Hojo Yoshima, is not only proficient in Chinese, but also has a name and surname.

This shows that he was a nobleman from the Wa Kingdom.
