A few days after Yi Yun's letter was delivered to Hangzhou, the garrison soldiers in Jiangnan began to move on a large scale, and the anti-Japanese forts that were originally scattered along the coast began to gather troops and gather their troops to prepare for the large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders.

In fact, in recent days, Hu Zhongxian also has a feeling that the Japanese are about to carry out a large-scale attack, and he has already begun to strengthen the defense of some important cities.

For the other four enemy forces, Yi Yun is not interested in care, anyway, it is Hu Zhongxian's job, just have him in charge, what is his headache now is what Wang Zhi said to give him what is the gift? Where will it be attacked, if it is to attack Jiashan, then it may land near Jinshan, if it is to attack the Shanghai Oasis, then Wang Zhi can suddenly land from any corner of the Yangtze River Delta, there are really too many places to defend, this is simply impossible to prevent.

Only now did he realize the sense of powerlessness that the officials of the Great Meng Kingdom had when they resisted the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and that the sea frontier was full of loopholes, and the enemy could suddenly land from any place, and he was already completely passive, and could only wait for the enemy to beat him back, and this feeling was very bad, so why didn't I fight the enemy? It seems that the development of the navy is already an urgent matter.

Fortunately, Yi Yun was not completely out of the navy, and the three ships under Luo Lemao's command were all let out, swimming around on the sea, acting as a sentry, and Li Huamei also drove a Dafu ship and a snatched ironclad ship to the sea near Zhoushan Island to help Yi Yun monitor the location where the Japanese wanted to attack.

1561, the year of sailing in the East China Sea, summer, June 10. Yu Yingxian came from there again, Wang Zhi only brought eight boats, but a thousand people, towards the direction of the Shanghai Oasis, it seems that he said that the gift he wanted to give to the King of Jiashan is not an army, but still do not let down their vigilance.

On 15 June, Wang Zhi's fleet finally reached the east of the Yangtze River Delta. Yi Yun had been waiting for a long time, he had laid down many scouts along the coast, and as soon as Wang Zhi's fleet approached, the scouts immediately called the police. With a large number of soldiers and guards, soldiers, archers and other professions, Yi Yun rushed to the beach and laid a simple fortification along the coastline.

This is a stretch of coast that Iyun has not yet had time to develop, and there are many trees growing on the shore, and the soldiers are hiding behind the trees, using the trees to hide their figures.

At this time, they were located about the town of Donghai, which was fifty miles away from the center of the Shanghai Oasis. Yi Yun was a little puzzled why Wang Zhi chose this place as the landing point, it stands to reason that he should choose a place closer to the center of the oasis to land, such as Wusong Wharf, from there to the center of the Shanghai oasis, but only twenty miles. Why did Wang Zhi go for the near and far?

On one side at sea. On one side of the shore, the two sides looked at each other for miles, and Wang Zhi suddenly sent a small boat, there were only two people on board, one rowing, and the other seemed to be a messenger, apparently wanting to say a few words before the battle, and Yi Yun ordered the soldiers not to fire. Let the boat come closer.

The boat rocked to the shore, and the messenger came down from it, a middle-aged scribe, who seemed to have read for several years, and had an evil smile on his face. Yi Yun also walked over with a wicked smile on his face and took a look at the man. smiled and said, "Yo, brother, what are you doing ashore?"

The middle-aged scribe smiled and said: "On the order of the Wufeng shipowner, come to remind the prince of Jiashan, if you obediently hand over the Shanghai Oasis and supply our Wufeng shipowner as a base, we won't beat you, if you don't know each other, there will be a big gift sent to your territory immediately." ”...,

Yi Yun rolled his eyes unhappily: "Wang Zhi, this guy is very jumpy, he dares to say such things to me, and he can't find death? I worked hard to build Shanghai, and finally saw some achievements, and he came to open his mouth and asked me to give it to him? Ha, I like to be so arrogant!"

"Does the prince like it?" said the middle-aged scribe with a smile.

"Let your sister!" Yi Yun kicked the middle-aged scribe on his heels and scolded: "Go back and tell Wang Zhi that my way of life is to pay attention to the way of the other, and give back to the other, originally he and I did not interfere with the river water, and I didn't want to pay attention to him, but now he actually beat my family's idea, you go back and tell him that his home is going to be decided! Go back and clean your home, grandpa will soon occupy it." ”

"Lord Wang, you are talking a little bigger. The middle-aged scribe got up from the ground and sneered: "Don't say that today's victory or defeat has not yet been decided, even if we can't take your Shanghai, you don't want to enter the house of the owner of the Wufeng ship." Who in the world doesn't know that the home of our Wufeng boat owner is in Fuso Hirado Domain...... Do you have what it takes to come to Fuso?"

Yi Yun rolled his eyes: "Yo, Fusang, the country of non-conquest!"

"Hmph, you also know the country of non-conquest!" The middle-aged scribe became proud: "The people of the Da Meng country, no matter who it is, can't attack Fusang, hahahaha, because Fusang is not a country that is not conscripted." ”

"I'll you off. Yi Yun kicked the middle-aged scribe again, kicked him out of the way, and then scolded: "Get out, go back and ask Wang Zhi to send any gifts quickly, grandpa will take it all, and ...... Tell him to hurry home and clean up, his home is mine. ”

"Okay, since you say so, don't blame us for saluting first and then soldiering. The middle-aged scribe got up and jumped back into the boat, and the widow who had followed him rowed the boat desperately and returned to Wang Zhi's ship on the sea.

Yi Yun glanced at the eight warships parked in the sea a few times unhappily, and said to the people next to him: "Send carrier pigeons to Luo Lemao and Li Huamei, and ask them if they are sure to win Wang Zhi's warship, if they are sure, we will kill him at sea." ”

After a while, the carrier pigeon flew back, and it turned out that Luo Lemao and Li Huamei's battleships were hiding in the bay not far away, and they originally planned to ambush Wang Zhi, but after some careful consideration, Li Huamei thought that they could not win the naval battle.

Because there are seven battleships in Wang Zhi's fleet that are big ships, and only one small ship is Yu Yingxian's battleship, that ship can not be counted, and the seven battleships to be counted have many experienced old sailors, especially many cannons, Li Huamei and Luo Lemao's battleships add up to only five, and they are also inferior in size, especially the number of artillery is very small, if it fights, it will definitely be defeated.

Yi Yun's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he glanced at the letter sent back by Li Huamei a few times, and said unhappily: "Forget it, we will temporarily fight a defensive war today, and when I do a good job in the construction of Shanghai, I will build a ship to fight Wang Zhi, this little girl." ”

If you can't go to the sea to fight him, then you have to consolidate the coastal defense line, although Yi Yun doesn't know much about military affairs, but the basic common sense still knows, landing operations are a very difficult kind of operations, especially Yi Yun's army basically belongs to the semi-hot weapon troops, and it is necessary to forcibly land under the guns of more than a thousand musketeers, this is simply a fool's dream, even if Wang Zhi has a fourth-order golden widow under his command, don't want to go ashore easily.

Even if he really rushed ashore with a fire gun, as well as Yi Yun, the fourth-order "Tiger Guard" and Pu Cong, the fourth-order "Arhat", and the third-order Li Chengyu, Soft Muxing, Jingjing, An Qian, Lu Xi and others were all transferred, Yi Yun still attached great importance to this battle.

Just in case, Yi Yun also brought an ugly maid, looking at the eight Japanese warships that were not moving at all, Yi Yun couldn't help but say to the ugly maid: "Hey, the ugly girl of Sanjiang Pavilion, if the enemy army really has a fifth-order Japanese colony landing, can you guarantee that the Death Girl will appear?"

The ugly maid nodded and said, "Our Sanjiang Pavilion has also been prepared, Lord Death is already waiting nearby, if you need her help, you only need to hand over a billion taels of silver......"

"Don't talk nonsense, it takes a billion taels to hire her to help deal with a fifth-order enemy?" Yi Yun interrupted the ugly maid's words, waved his hand and said, "You tell her that the reward this time is my warm embrace for five minutes, and I won't give you another minute." ”

Ugly Handmaid: "......"

At this time, the bow of the far Japanese can see the head shaking, as if doing some small moves, Yi Yun took out a Western telescope, looking at the opposite side, this telescope was bought from the Spaniards at a high price in Ningbo Port, very expensive! The price is very cheating! But Yi Yun can't help it, this year's Dameng country has no technology to produce glass, can only let the Westerners cheat their father, fortunately, the price of porcelain in the big Meng country is also very high, you can also bring the Westerners back.

He raised his binoculars and looked at Wang Zhi's flagship.

Soon, he saw a middle-aged Japanese robber standing at the bow of the boat, this guy was wearing a luxurious silk robe, judging by his bearing and standing position, he should be the head of the widows, that is, Wang Zhi, he was taking out a small multicolored conch from his arms and putting it to his mouth.

"Yo, is Wang Zhi planning to blow the conch?" Yi Yun smiled: "I remember that blowing the conch is bragging, right?"

Soft Muxing next to her was also looking at it with a telescope, and after she looked at it twice, she said very seriously: "I'm afraid the situation is not good...... It wasn't a simple conch, it was some kind of treasure. Before the battle, take out a treasure...... I had a bad premonition. ”

"Well, you have a point, as soon as you say that, I also feel a little uneasy......" Yi Yun frowned, he saw through the binoculars, Wang Zhi put the conch to his mouth, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard......

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo ......" The sound of a conch crossed the distant sea and reached the ears of everyone.
