Until the evening, Lin Fatzi had not been investigated, all the personnel at the dock had been investigated, and their bodies were searched, but there were still hundreds of Goryeo people who could not be identified, and there were no Goryeo elders to claim them.

Lin Fatzi had no choice but to temporarily detain them, and then come to report to Yang Xin in person.

"King Xing, a total of 36 ninjas were found at the dock, 29 of them were killed on the spot for resisting, and seven were captured, two of them have surrendered and explained the assassination incident, they are ninjas from all over the Wa Kingdom, mainly from Iga in the north, and one person confessed that Tokugawa Iemitsu has gathered 500,000 troops near Tsushima Island, more than 2,000 warships, preparing for a decisive battle with our army, does King Xing want to meet this captive?"

Yang Xin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, the Japanese people are scheming, who knows if he is a fake surrender, and what kind of tricks are he playing when he takes the opportunity to get close to this king?" ”

Lin Fatzi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he is also a sinister and vicious person, this kind of deception is unaware of it for a while.

"It's the negligence of his subordinates, but there are still more than a hundred Koreans who can't be screened, and the last general has already sent someone to detain them, what does King Xing plan to do?"

Lin Fatzi asked.

Yang Xin thought for a moment and said, "Hold them for the time being, hand them over to Jin Shengnan, and let the Goryeo people deal with it themselves, let's not learn to worship and kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

Lin Fatzi hurriedly agreed.

Yang Xin said again: "Leave the two ninjas who surrendered, and the other five people let them go, give them a small boat, and let them go to talk to Tokugawa Iemitsu, since both sides are ready, this king will ask him to have a naval battle in the east sea area in the middle of Tsushima Island in three days." ”

Yang Xin's army experienced more than ten days of sea voyages, and the Qing army was not familiar with the water, and the state was not very good, so it needed to rest on the shore for a few days, so Yang Xin proposed three days later.

Lin Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and said: "King Xing, it's not necessary to let all five people go, it's enough to have one person to spread the word." ”

Yang Xin nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it!" ”

Yang Xin still trusts Lin Fatzi very much, he is decisive and ruthless, which is stronger than his eldest brother Jiao Xuewen, and he is the most suitable for dealing with ninjas.

After going back, Lin Fatzi killed four ninjas in front of the two surrendered Iga ninjas, and the last one of the remaining people also cut off one of his ears with his own hands.

"General Ben let you go now, go back and send a message to the old Tokugawa turtle, saying that our coalition forces will fight a decisive battle in the eastern waters of the central part of Tsushima Island in three days, and if there is a kind, let the horse come."

Lin Fatzi shouted at the ninja who was angry and angry.

Only then did the man tear off a piece of his shirt and bandage the wound, and left hatefully, scolding in the Japanese dialect when he left: "Sakai Takeshita, Watanabe Twist, you two bastards, betrayed the general, I will report to the general when I go back, and kill the families of the two of you!" ”

The two traitors suddenly changed color, but now that they had stepped on the thief ship, they had no choice but to regret it.

After Lin Fatzi waited for the people to leave, he happily walked up to the two traitors, patted them on the shoulders and said with a smile: "Two brothers, now you have no way out, follow General Ben well, I have a bright future in Daxing, General Ben will set up a banquet to entertain the two of you tonight, and tell General Ben all the information you know about the Japanese country!" ”

……

Here, the ninja who was released returned to the camp of the Wakoku on Tsushima Island, met the commander of the Wakoku, Yagyu Munechi, knelt on the ground to report the assassination, and passed on Yang Xin's words.

Liu Sheng was furious and scolded: "Send someone to kill the whole family of these two traitors immediately, this Daxing King is too arrogant, everyone, let's discuss how to fight a decisive battle in three days." ”

One of the people next to him came out of the column and said: "Marshal, the enemy agreed to fight a decisive battle in three days, I think this Daxing King is very pedantic, and he also sent a messenger to declare war before the war, we can divide the troops into two ways, one way pretended to meet the enemy after three days, and the other way was detoured to ambush the sea off Busan, and raided Busan when the enemy poured out, cutting off his back road, so, their such a large fleet without Busan Port, there is no logistics supply, and it will be defeated!" ”

Yagyu Sochi saw that this person was the best of the Tokugawa Iemitsu Six Abe Mid-Autumn Festival, and this person's analysis was the way, and everyone nodded in approval.

Yanagi Zongzhi's confidence increased greatly, and he said: "Okay, in this way, Abe Tadaaki, you will lead an army of 200,000 troops, divide half of the ships, and make a detour from the western waters of Tsushima Island, and three days later, when the Daxing coalition army leaves the port of Busan, they will raid and go ashore to take the port of Busan for the commander!" ”

Then Yagyu began to order troops and dispatched various daimyos, the samurai army that was already directly under the shogun, and in order to prevent the daimyo from avoiding the war, it was natural to divide the army directly under the shogunate and the twenty-six daimyo who were pro-shogunate into two parts, and escorted the armies of other daimyos.

He was very cautious, and sent some boats to explore the way, and when he encountered Goryeo fishing boats, he directly seized the boats, and the fishermen were all killed, so as not to reveal their whereabouts.

The sea is completely different from the land, the sea is too big, even if it is a fleet of thousands of ships, once they sail into the sea, in that era of backward technology, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is completely up to luck to meet them, so they are not afraid that the Daxing coalition will find out in advance.

Therefore, Yang Xin will make an appointment with the Japanese to fight, so as not to waste time looking for each other at sea, Yang Xin's idea is very simple, to defeat the main naval force of the Japanese State in World War I, and then land in Nagasaki, so as not to harass their logistics channel by guerrilla warfare at sea.

Yang Xin was very cautious, even if Haoge was injured, he didn't get off the boat, but just sent Lin Fatzi to visit Haoge on his behalf and pass on his military orders.

"You tell Haoge that the Japanese like to raid, the elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are not good at naval battles, and the commander is injured, so stay in Busan, if you encounter a surprise attack by the enemy, it is best not to alarm them first, and wait until you are put ashore before fighting."

Yang Xin made up his mind this time to take it step by step, steady and steady, how could he give the enemy such a big flaw, it can only be said that Abe has seen too much of the Mid-Autumn Festival Romance of the Three Kingdoms, everything in the world, mutual restraint, the most ingenious strategy, when encountering the simplest steady progress, it is basically to deliver food, and there is no need to do it.

Yang Xin's strategy is so simple that there is no strategy, no division of troops, no rash advance, steady advancement, and will not give the Japanese any chance to raid.

Although Hauge is brave, he can only be obedient when he receives Yang Xin's military order, because it is a naval battle, he is not interested in participating, if it is a land battle, Yang Xin will put his absolute main force aside, he will definitely not do it.

Abe Mid-Autumn carefully led a huge fleet, in order to raid without exposing the target, they stayed away from the coastline, all the way nervous, and there were a lot of way-finding sentinel ships in front, but the road was safe and sound, not even a merchant ship was encountered, at noon the next day, it arrived safely at the predetermined location, and then Abe sent a sentry boat, disguised as a fishing boat to stare at the coalition fleet in Busan Port from afar.

In the morning, Yang Xin made a mobilization meeting before departure, in order to encourage the morale of the Goryeo scum soldiers, Yang Xin directly stipulated that if an enemy ship is sunk or captured, the main general will reward five shares of overseas shares, two shares of rewards for wounding, five soldiers killed by the enemy, one share of overseas shares, ten people killed by the enemy, two shares of reward, and more than fifteen people killed, three shares of reward!

You know, at present, Daxing's shares, a share is worth 12,000 taels of silver, such a heavy reward, all the eyes of the Goryeo scum soldiers are shining, and they feel that their blood is going to boil, and they get a share of overseas shares, that is, 12,000 taels of silver.

In the afternoon, the coalition fleet began to leave the port, because there was still some distance to the agreed combat area, so the fleet left the port ahead of schedule.

The Daxing fleet is almost all based on large fortune ships, located in the center of the entire fleet, and the Goryeo fleet is on the two wings, the sea ships of Goryeo are less than half the size of the fortune ships, and the soldiers loaded on each ship are naturally much less, and the strongest turtle ships in Goryeo are also sent, because this is an offshore battle, the turtle ships rely on manpower to paddle, and the speed is much slower, but the defense is quite strong, and they can also dive, so the strength should not be underestimated.

On the morning of the third day, the coalition fleet arrived at the agreed position.

Yang Xin stood at the bow of the ship and saw the dense Japanese navy, and the soldiers had already counted it, and there were probably nearly a thousand warships.

"What about the 500,000 people who said yes? The Japanese love to brag, this is a maximum of 300,000 people, which is tens of thousands less than our coalition soldiers! ”

Yang Xin was stunned, he couldn't imagine that the Japanese navy in this era was so backward, the coalition army had less than 200 ships, and there were nearly 1,000 Japanese ships, the number was quite scary, all of them were small boats, and there were no artillery on board!

Yang Xin has a kind of illusion of bullying children, he can't imagine that Daming's ship technology is far ahead of Japan, Daxing's shipbuilding technology is, of course, a complete copy of Daming, except for the artillery purchased from Macao, which is more advanced than the Ming warship, the others are the same, Daming also has the same power of artillery, but there is no money to equip less.

It's no wonder that the Japanese can't win this kind of battle against Goryeo, it all depends on the number of people, Goryeo at least has the Western artillery of the cottage made by the Ming Dynasty, although it is not so sophisticated, so there are cannons!

Yang Xin had a feeling that he was winning.

didn't have to say it, beating him first, Yang Xin couldn't even wait for the Goryeo turtle boat to converge, so with a wave of his hand, the pro-soldiers on the bow of the boat waved the flag and ordered Jiao Xuewen to launch the first wave of attacks.

Xue Laosan played the role of a striker again, ten Daxingfu ships, with thirty Goryeo ships, lined up in two rows, and rushed towards the Japanese fleet in a neat manner.

On the other side, Yanagi Zongzhi looked at the opponent's huge fleet, and muttered in his heart, this is not able to fight at all, if you don't divide the troops, you can barely fight with the advantage in numbers, but now, there are only 300,000 left from 500,000, and the other party must have at least nearly 400,000 people, and they are well-equipped, far exceeding their own, and the result of hard work will definitely be wiped out.

Fortunately, he didn't plan to fight hard in the first place, but he just dragged the coalition fleet so that Abe could raid it.

However, the enemy had already released the vanguard, and it was impossible to flee without fighting, so not only would the prestige of the shogunate be greatly damaged, but also the morale would plummet.

While hesitating, a warship sent a message to Yagyu's flagship, requesting that it lead 50,000 troops against the vanguard of the coalition forces.

At first glance, Yanagi saw that it was Miura Shoji, the bravest of the six.

I have to say that the bushido spirit of the Japanese people is sometimes a little cute, knowing that they can't beat it, and they don't know where they have the courage to fight it.

Yagyu Sochi was overjoyed to agree, and more than 100 small boats of the Japanese country left the main formation, and the Japanese on the ships screamed and rushed towards the coalition forces.

The warships of the two sides quickly approached, and soon, they entered the range of the cannons, and under the skillful command of Xue Laosan, all the Daxingfu ships in the front row turned, and one by one they turned in a T-shape, the hull of the ship was facing the Japanese fleet, and the swarthy muzzles were aimed at their respective targets.

In an instant, hundreds of artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and projectiles rained down into the formation of the Japanese fleet.

Since the Daxing fleet purchased Portuguese twelve-pounder and twenty-four-pounder guns, the firing range was as high as more than two kilometers, far exceeding the copycat cannons on the Goryeo warships, and the Goryeo ships had not yet entered the firing range at this time.

At this time, it was naturally a one-sided massacre, and the Japanese ships were constantly hit by artillery, and soon, more than ten warships were sunk, and the Japanese on board had no chance to fight, and fell into the sea one after another.

They should be glad that the accuracy of the cannons of this era is too poor, and it is all up to luck to hit, otherwise, I am afraid that if two rounds of artillery are fired, it is estimated that more than 100 warships will be destroyed.

The Japanese fleet was not afraid of death, and advanced under artillery fire, and their purpose was to rush to the side of the coalition fleet for a string battle.

Soon, the Japanese fleet entered the range of the Goryeo ships, these Goryeo people were overjoyed, according to the previous Yang Xin's regulations, sinking an enemy ship owner will be able to get five Daxing overseas shares, what they see in their eyes is not the vicious Japanese army, what they see is white flowers, every Goryeo ship is crazy to fire cannons, they have rich Daxing to provide ammunition, there is no shortage at all.

Miura Masaji watched with worry as his ships were constantly sunk, and before they could make contact, they sank more than 40 ships, losing 20,000 troops, and the sea was full of Japanese soldiers who had fallen into the water, struggling desperately in the water.

Finally rushed to the front of the coalition fleet, and at this time the Japanese front 50,000 people had lost four floors, such a high battle damage, the ordinary army is afraid that it would have collapsed early, and the Japanese army is still very brave, the remaining more than 60 warships have not escaped, they have several ships to besiege an enemy ship, and the battle is very tenacious.

However, when the first few ships surrounded a large Xingfu ship, they knew what despair was.

The Daxingfu ship was huge, and the heavily armed soldiers on it, all holding muskets, shot condescendingly from a row of guns, like an impenetrable bullet wall.

Despite the bravery of the samurai, muskets were not something that flesh and blood could resist.

Yang Xin also had to thank Tokugawa Iemitsu for his policy of closing off the country, at this time, the proportion of Japanese troops with muskets was not even as good as that of the Warring States period a few decades ago, and the combat power was seriously retreated, and more than half of the samurai on the ship did not have muskets.

You must know that during the Warring States Period, the Great Demon King Oda Nobunaga started with muskets, and even created his own musket tactics of segmented shooting, and it can be said that the Japanese army at that time had more muskets than now.

The Japanese army, like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, closed itself off from the rest of the country and then its combat strength not only did not rise, but declined sharply.

The battle of the front was like a massacre, because the Japanese lost a large number of ships in the artillery battle, and at least three or more ships dared to besiege a coalition giant ship, so the Daxingfu ships in the front row had basically attracted all the Japanese boats, and the Goryeo warships behind were in a hurry, and they rushed forward to grab the heads.

The master of a Goryeo warship shouted on deck: "Rush up and hit Lao Tzu directly!" ”

He also fought hard, and his ship was far larger than the Japanese army, and he did not hesitate to sink a Japanese ship at the expense of his own ship, because when he set off, Yang Xin only said that he would be rewarded with five shares for sinking an enemy ship, which was equivalent to 60,000 taels of silver, and he did not say that his ship was injured or sunk by the enemy.

The unlucky Japanese ship was besieging a fortune ship, and the samurai were desperately launching a suicidal charge against the fortune ship, when suddenly, with a loud bang, a huge Goryeo warship crashed into the waist and smashed the Japanese ship in two, and the samurai fell into the sea like dumplings.

The soldiers on the Goryeo ship laughed and shot arrows into the sea, and the five strands of the main general were in hand, and it was time for them to pick up the heads.

Xue Laosan, who was fighting, was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the Goryeo people to become so brave, this is the magic of money, under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and the other Goryeo ships saw that the ship easily won five shares, and they all did the same, and crushed the small boat of the Japanese Navy.

Miserable betting!

Yang Xin was dumbfounded on the flagship, the Korean people fought so badly, the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy losses, finally collapsed, and the remaining more than ten still intact warships turned around and left, and many injured warships couldn't run fast, so they simply ran away, leaving to fight to the death with the coalition forces.

Xue Laosan wanted to send a boat to pursue, but he was dragged by these injured boats, blocking the path of pursuit, so that the more than ten boats could escape smoothly.

Yang Xin stood up and said, "It's almost over, pass on the king's order, and the whole army will attack!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly waved the flag, and the entire fleet of the coalition began to slowly press up.

Yanagi Zongzhi looked at the battle of the strikers painfully, and had already made up his mind in his heart, from now on, he would never confront the coalition forces head-on at sea again, the gap between the two sides was too big, not to mention that the division of troops was inferior to the other party, even if 500,000 people were all here, it would be a rout.

At this time, without hesitation, with a wave of his hand, the whole army turned around, and the main force retreated on all fronts.

The coalition forces were desperately chasing after them, but the Japanese ships were small, not only could they use sails, but everyone paddled together, and the speed was not slower than the giant ships of the coalition forces, and the coalition forces were never able to catch up.

After chasing for most of the day, the Japanese army had escaped from the waters of Tsushima Island, and when they reached the coast of Japan, Yang Xin was not greedy for merit and ordered to stop the pursuit.

The generals came to Yang Xin's flagship to gather and discuss, morale was high, and everyone was excited.

As soon as Xue Laosan came, he asked for battle: "King Xing, the Japanese navy is vulnerable, and the last general asks to lead the army directly into the Japanese sea and wipe them out!" ”

Yang Xin waved his hand and said: "Everyone, the naval battle has come to an end, now we just need to hold the Tsushima sea area, the next step, land on Tsushima Island, occupy this island first, build a dock on the island, as a logistics base for our army, the war against Japan is not urgent, we take every step, fight steadily, and take our time." ”
