However, they know that they know that they are not far from Daming.

Hu Dahai and his men continued to sail forward.

They found some islands, although they were a little unfamiliar, but they were able to see some traces of human activity on them.

For example, some dilapidated houses or wrecked ships.

Hu Dahai led his subordinates to several islands to inspect.

After some speculation, they felt that they had come to the territory of the Japanese people.

Because many of the traces on it are similar to the customs and habits of the Japanese people.

Sure enough, after continuing to sail forward for a distance, they came across several fishing boats of the Japanese people!

These dilapidated and small fishing boats were immediately frightened and fled when they saw Hu Dahai's fleet.

It's just that where can these small fishing boats outrun the sail warships of the Ming Navy.

After catching some fishermen from the Wa Kingdom, Hu Dahai and the others were 100 percent sure that they had come to the eastern waters of the Wa Kingdom.

To be precise, the place where Hu Dahai and the others came belonged to the control of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.

After Hu Dahai led the fleet to continue sailing for another three days, he encountered the naval forces of the Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom.

Because of the war between the north and the south, the Japanese people were very vigilant about the border defense in various places, lest the southern dynasty of the Japanese with the support of the Ming Dynasty attack and sneak attack.

Therefore, after Hu Dahai and their Ming fleet arrived, almost all the naval divisions of the Northern Army of the Wa Kingdom were dispatched.

The shogunate of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom sent the general Kameda Taro to command the battle with full authority and lead more than 300 large warships to intercept the warships of the Ming army on the coast.

For the interception of these would-be robbers, Hu Dahai didn't want to negotiate with them at all.

No one can stop the return of the Ming soldiers!

Hu Dahai ordered his soldiers and generals to prepare for battle, and then issued battle flags to the surrounding warships.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

His son Hu Guan stayed next to him and asked: "Dad, now the Japanese people are waiting for work, we have been drifting for many months, people are sleepy and tired, do you want to talk to them, if we can not fight, we will not fight, so as to save us from increasing unnecessary casualties." ”

Hu Dahai was very disappointed with his son Hu Guan's words, and he said in a reprimanding tone, "You really haven't grown at all!" Have you forgotten what kind of treasures we have on this ship? If we make peace with these widows, then if we go down this route again, we will lose the dead! ”

"This time, it can be said that the Japanese are out of the nest, we will use this opportunity to wipe them out, and we will be able to pass unimpeded from this route in the future!"

Although the Daming Navy is a long journey, everyone seems very embarrassed and tired.

However, Hu Dahai and they found a large number of gold mines on that mysterious continent, and this ship was full of several ships of gold, and such a huge wealth was destined to become extremely busy in the future from the Ming Dynasty to the new continent, and the Japanese were stuck in the middle of this route, so they naturally wanted to eliminate this potential threat as soon as possible.

Taro Kameda led the Japanese naval division, with more than 200 warships as the main force, and more than 100 small boats cruising around!

The Japanese also wanted to wipe out the seven warships of the Ming Navy on the opposite side.

Kameda Taro felt that the Japanese naval forces were outnumbered, and the Ming naval division on the opposite side would definitely send people to sue for peace, or even surrender.

However, he never expected that the Ming army sailors on the opposite side were not only not afraid at all, but instead put on a strange formation and raised full sails.

The Ming army, which was at a disadvantage, seemed to want to attack itself first.

This made Kameda Taro angry, he gritted his teeth, stared at the Ming army in front of him with his pair of triangular eyes, and scolded loudly: "Bagaya Road, the Ming Kingdom is arrogant, and even dares to take the initiative to attack, immediately send a signal, all the warships, surround them, and can't let a single Ming army run away!" ”

In the perception of Kameda Taro, the larger the ship, the worse the operability will inevitably be, and the flexibility of the Ming warships is definitely not as good as these small and medium-sized warships of the Japanese invaders.

As long as the Japanese use their numbers and flexibility, they will definitely be able to eat the Ming army's seven ships!

However, the ensuing battle left all the Japanese army dumbfounded.

With excellent maneuvering and sharp artillery, the Ming army smashed the Japanese naval army to pieces in less than an hour, and more than 100 Japanese warships turned into broken wood and floated on the sea!

After a chase, most of the Japanese navy was wiped out, and only a few escaped from the battlefield in nimble boats.

Hu Dahai ordered the pursuit to be stopped, and the few fleeing widows were no longer worried!

Hu Dahai clearly knew that the Japanese navy was completely wiped out in this war, and since then the Ming navy has been unhindered in this sea area...... No one will ever dare to harass again.

Moreover, even if they flee to the land, they will inevitably face the follow-up comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Dahai clearly knew that if he wanted to go to that rich and vast continent in the future, he had to use it as a transit point from the Wa Kingdom, so when Hu Dahai returned to the Ming Dynasty and told the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang about the New World, the Wa Kingdom would have no reason to continue to exist.

Therefore, this battle to eliminate the Japanese naval army is very conducive to the future Ming Dynasty to eliminate the Japanese state.

Hu Dahai's fleet, after destroying the Japanese naval army, continued to sail forward, and after reaching the territory of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese State, the Ming army stationed there immediately discovered them.

For more than a year, almost all the Ming army had heard about the disappearance of the Blackwater Protectorate fleet in the storm.

Everyone thought that Hu Dahai and they were already buried in the belly of the fish, but they never expected that Hu Dahai and they would come back alive.

The ragged Hu Dahai and others rested at the garrison of the Ming Army of the Japanese State.

Lan Yu, the general of the expedition, immediately sent someone to send the news back to Tianfu, after all, Hu Dahai had gained a lot from drifting thousands of miles this time.

There are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold on seven large ships alone!

If it weren't for the water and food, Hu Dahai would have been able to carry more gold!

Moreover, Hu Dahai also told Lan Yu that there was not only a large amount of gold in that continent, but also the land was fertile and flat, and the grass alone could grow one person tall!

In addition to these...... There are also a large number of fat bison, each of which must be thousands of catties at the earliest.

"Brother Lanyu, don't you know, I eat bison there every day, and I vomit until I vomit!" Hu Dahai had a pleasant expression.

If Lan Yu had done it before, he would definitely feel that Hu Dahai was bragging.

However, he had seen the warehouse on Hu Dahai's ship, full of air-dried beef, and he didn't lie at all.

"Brother Hu, why are such a good place full of uncivilized savages? Don't they have a tyrannical leader? ”

Lan Yu looked puzzled.

According to Lan Yu's impression, even if it is such a backward place in the Wa Kingdom.

The Japanese people of the Northern Dynasty also had some skills, and they were able to fight back and forth with the southern army of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehe, Brother Lanyu, don't you know, those savages all use wooden sticks and stones as weapons, even if they are the reincarnation of the Chu Overlord, they can't beat our Ming soldiers!"

Nanjing, Yingtianfu.

The sneak attack on Lanzhou by the Warat people shook the entire northwest region, but fortunately, Xu Da stabilized the situation and the Warat people did not get any cheapness.

However, the Warats blocked the trade route to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Regions, and also put the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, into a passive situation.

Under the leadership of Detach Buhua, the Warats began to turn from Lanzhou to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Xu Da was also unable to give a reply to the successive emissaries of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate for help, so he could only send them to Yingtian for instructions.

"This Eastern Chagatai Khanate was originally a Mongol, and now the Warat people are also Mongols, they eat dogs, what to save!"

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang obviously planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

However, Zhu Han has a different suggestion.

"Brother, the Mongols are not monolithic, these forces have a grudge against each other, and they happen to be used by us, so we can't give up the subject state of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate!" Zhu Han said.

"However, the road from Lanzhou to the Western Regions is far away, if we send troops to take it, we are not familiar with the place, and I don't know how long it will take to reach the territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate!" Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly.

Zhu Han smiled slightly and continued: "Brother, we are going to save the life of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but we don't have to send troops in person. ”

"Don't send reinforcements? So what to do? Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled.

"The whole army of the Warat people is dispatched, and the rear will inevitably be empty, we let Xu Da send troops from Lanzhou and directly attack the rear of the Warat people, are you still afraid that the Warat people will not withdraw their troops?" Zhu Han said confidently.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Haha, good idea, isn't this just a strategy, oh, yes, it's Wei Wei to save Zhao!" ”

"That's right, it is the siege of Wei to save Zhao, and now our Ming soldiers are already strong after a year's rest, so they can attack in two ways, one way from Beiping to attack the fishing sea, I heard that Wang Baobao's main force is there, and the other way from Lanzhou to attack the territory of the Warat people, and completely knock down the prestige of the Mongols on the grassland!"

Zhu Han's offensive strategy can be described as very bold.

It is very difficult to find the enemy's main force in the vast grassland.

If it was the previous Central Plains Dynasty, it would definitely be impossible to find the enemy's main force so easily.

However, under the creation of Zhu Han, the current Ming Dynasty is far beyond the previous dynasties, not only is the military strength strong, but also the surrounding Jurchen, Goryeo, Wang Guren and other vassal armies can work for the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to let the Ming soldiers take too high risks.

One of the important reasons is because Daming is rich enough.

Give these servants an adequate reward and pay for them, so that they will be willing to die.

"In the Northern Parallel Division, we recruited the Jurchens and Goryeo to take the lead, and waited until the Mongols revealed their whereabouts, and then our Ming soldiers personally went into battle to cancel and destroy the enemy."

"And in Lanzhou Xingdu Division, it is the Wang Gubu people, who have been nomadic in the grassland for generations, and they are naturally very clear about the behavior and habits of the Warat people, and they will definitely help Xu Da find the rear nest of the Warat people!"

Regarding Zhu Han's suggestion, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang very much agreed.

Although Chen Youliang still occupies the southwest area, the traffic there is blocked, and the products are not as good as the Central Plains, so it cannot hurt the foundation of the Ming Dynasty at all.

Only the Mongols are still the fierce enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be cut down to the roots.

After some discussion, the two Zhu Han brothers basically decided on a plan to attack the Mongolian steppe.

At this time, the guard eunuch outside the door suddenly came in and knelt down to report.

"Tell Your Majesty, the conquest of the Japanese army Lan Yu sent someone to report, and the Heishui Protector Hu Dahai returned home!"

Hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were stunned.

"What?"

"You say it again?"

Both of them are in unison!

You must know that last year's sea storm made Hu Dahai's ten warships disappear, and everyone thought that they must be more than lucky, and they had already died in the belly of the fish.

This is the most painful loss since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Han also blamed himself several times for this, the dangerous situation of the 'Whale Sea', if he could have reminded Hu Dahai earlier, he would not have let Daming suffer such a loss.

After confirming that the news was correct, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were overjoyed.

"Great! This Hu Dahai is really a lucky star! Zhu Yuanzhang was already smiling.

After watching the joint concert of Lan Yu and Hu Dahai, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were even more pleasantly surprised.

"Hu Dahai said that they drifted away to a continent, and not only is there gold everywhere, but the local area is full of uncivilized savages, and there is fertile land and sturdy bison everywhere?" When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he looked at Zhu Han with a shocked expression.

Zhu Han knew that almost all the things he told his brother about the American continent before were fulfilled one by one in Hu Dahai's recital!

Even Zhu Han was a little incredulous.

"How did this Hu Dahai drift from the Outer Northeast to the New World?" Zhu Han was also stunned when he looked at the music.

In the Age of Discovery, Magellan crossed the Pacific Ocean, but after nine deaths, almost half of the ships and sailors died in the voyage.

However, what Hu Dahai said in the recital is that there are almost no people who have lost too many people, only some ships are damaged.

This made Zhu Han wonder if the place where Hu Dahai went was the New World of America.

However, the description in Hu Dahai's recital is similar to that of the Americas.

All doubts have to be asked by Hu Dahai to understand.

"Immediately issue a holy decree, let Hu Dahai lead his subordinates, and immediately come to Ying Tianfu, let's listen to his experience in person!" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled.

The holy decree from Ying Tianfu soon reached Hu Dahai's hands.

Hu Dahai didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately set off from the Wa Kingdom and rushed to Yingtianfu.

After more than ten days of sailing, Hu Dahai and the others finally returned to Yingtianfu.

Thousands of Ming sailors have been drifting in foreign lands for more than a year, and now when they see the city wall of the Ming Dynasty, they are all crying with emotion.

Hu Dahai was summoned to the palace overnight.

In the huge palace, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were sitting there.

All the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were all arranged outside.

Because, this time the monarch and the minister are right, but it is a matter of top secret!

After a brief inquiry, Zhu Yuanzhang asked first.

"Hu Dahai, how big is that place you are talking about?"

Hu Dahai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's very big, it can be said to be very big, the last general has asked the local savages, even if you chase the bison herd for a month, you can't go to the end!" ”

It's a herd of bison again, and it's a vast expanse of land.

Zhu Han was almost certain that it was the New World of America.
