There were four major islands in total, and after taking Kyushu, it was equivalent to taking a quarter of the land of the Japanese country.

In a short period of time, such a large territory is enough, and if there are more, even if they can take it down, they can't manage it.

And their purpose is to swallow the Wa Kingdom, so it is not enough to fight, but also to govern.

Therefore, after Chen Qiyu conquered Kyushu Island, he stopped the pace of expansion and began to sort out internal affairs.

As the actual controller of the Japanese state, Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally would not swallow his anger for Chen Qiyu's unscrupulous behavior.

After the negotiations were fruitless, he directly gathered all his troops, a total of 100,000 troops, and wanted to annihilate the Ming army in Kyushu, and at the worst of all, drive the Ming army out of the Japanese state.

It's just that he somewhat underestimated the combat power of the Ming army.

Now the firearms of the Ming army are directly ahead of the world for two hundred years, and even the Eight Banners Army of Huang Taiji dare not confront the Ming army, let alone these Japanese slaves.

The strength of the two sides is 100,000 against 40,000, and Chen Qiyu's 40,000 is not all the army of the Ming Dynasty, among the 40,000 troops, there are only 30,000 elite soldiers of the real Ming Dynasty, and the remaining 10,000 are all Japanese troops.

The final result of this war with a huge disparity in forces is completely opposite to the number of troops.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's 100,000 army, facing the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, was like mud, and it would shatter at the slightest touch.

The 100,000-strong army, which did not hold out for even three days, began to flee.

In the face of the defeated Japanese army, Chen Qiyu did not have the slightest intention of softness, this 100,000 army is the honor guard of Tokugawa Iemitsu to rule the entire Japanese country, as long as this 100,000 army is abolished, Tokugawa Iemitsu's strength is not enough to deter other forces of the Japanese country.

At this time, as long as Chen Qiyu keeps a low profile, shows that Da Ming is not aggressive, and just wants to be in a safe corner, and then secretly fan the wind and light the fire, and sell some firearms to both sides, I believe that it will not be long before the entire Wa Kingdom itself will have a dog's brain.

Therefore, Chen Qiyu directly asked Huang De's army to chase and kill for dozens of miles, and after almost completely breaking up the 100,000 army, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

After this great victory, no one will harass him in a short period of time to rectify his internal affairs.

So what he had to do in the next few days was to let the people of the Wa Kingdom live a good life under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the Ming Dynasty can feed these Japanese people, then these Japanese people naturally don't care about being ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

After all, under whose rule it is not to eat, generally speaking, as long as those ordinary people of the Japanese country can eat enough, they will not rebel directly.

Of course, if there were really the kind of people who had nothing to do, Chen Qiyu wouldn't mind sending them to see Hades.

After the Wa State completely gained a firm foothold, Chen Qiyu transported part of the wealth obtained from the Wa State back to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time asked Lao Zhu for people and tools in the song.

After all, if you want to conquer a country, it is not enough to rely on a knife, but also on education.

Therefore, in addition to asking Lao Zhu for some advanced mining tools, Chen Qiyu wanted Lao Zhu to transfer a group of people who could read and write to educate these Japanese people.

After receiving Chen Qiyu's recital, Lao Zhu did not hesitate at all, not only recruited a lot of literate and hyphenated talents, but also recruited a group of grassroots officials, and even relocated tens of thousands of disaster-stricken displaced people by the way, allowing them to go to the Wa Kingdom to open up wasteland.

With these measures, it can add a lot of convenience to Chen Qiyu's next actions, and it can also greatly speed up the assimilation of the Japanese state, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

And at the same time that Chen Qiyu was in full swing in the Wa Kingdom, the steel fleet led by Zheng Zhilong also began to become famous on the entire sea.

In this era, the overlord of the sea was the Dutch East India Company, known as the coachman of the sea.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has come out with the Ming Dynasty's warship, the first one to deal with is naturally this big brother.

No matter how big a wooden warship is, in the face of explosive shells, basically a few cannons will be completely scrapped.

And their solid shells, after hitting the steel battleship, can only leave a few dents that have been smashed out at most, and that's it.

In front of the steel warships of the Ming Dynasty, the wooden warships of the East India Company were like toys and were vulnerable.

It took Zheng Zhilong half a year to directly sweep away the power of the East India Company at sea.

Since then, the ocean of this world has officially entered the era of the Ming Dynasty.

And the flag of the sun and moon with clear words written on it has completely become a taboo on the entire sea, and all those who are begging for a living at sea, whether it is a caravan, a pirate, or the navy of another country, after seeing this flag, they have only one choice, that is, to retreat.

After all, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the sentence that those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away is not something that is said casually.

There was a group of pirates who plundered a group of merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and then the result was that Zheng Zhilong came to the door and directly flattened their nests.

And not only that, after finding out that the British were behind this group of pirates, and many of them had British titles, Zheng Zhilong simply drove the fleet over and directly blocked the money in the largest port of the United Kingdom for three months.

In the end, it was Britain who bowed its head and made amends and compensated a large amount of property, and the matter was revealed.

Since then, no force has dared to fight the idea of the Ming merchant ships, because now in the whole world, no one dares to offend the Ming Dynasty, and after plundering the Ming merchant ships, it means that the whole world is the enemy, and you have no place to trade even the goods you have robbed.

Even pirates wouldn't do this kind of loss-making business.

But fortunately, compared to the British, Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch, the Ming were much more merciful.

Because the Ming Dynasty is based on Confucianism, it believes in a win-win situation, that is, winning you twice, so when it can't conquer those countries, it won't go all out and do devastating plunder.

Therefore, after they dominate the sea, they only do trade, and they will not make a cameo appearance as pirates to rob you, let alone prohibit you from doing maritime trade.

Although most of the profits from trade have been taken away by the Ming people, at least the Ming people have left them a mouthful of soup to drink, compared to the barbaric pirates before, the Ming people don't know how much more civilized they are.

It is precisely for this reason that although the Ming Dynasty is domineering, its reputation at sea is very good, coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty is rich in resources, abundant in materials, has a large population, and needs many goods.

So basically all the countries that know the Ming Dynasty will come to the Ming Dynasty to do trade, thanks to this kind of trade similar to the coming of all countries to the dynasty, the economy of the Ming Dynasty began to take off rapidly.

It's just that compared to these countries that came to Daming to trade, those countries around Daming were much more miserable.

Mr. Bi Maokang drummed up a new type of firearm, called the Gatling machine gun, or machine gun, which was a repeating gun with a rate of fire of thousands of rounds per minute.

Before this kind of machine gun came out, Jiannu could still rely on the strong mobility of the cavalry to harass the Ming army, and after the advent of this machine gun, Jiannu's army basically couldn't even get close, and was directly beaten into minced meat.

For a time, the speed of Sun tradition's advancement in Jiannu has been greatly improved, and if this situation continues, it will be only two years at most, and Jiannu will become history.
