Chapter Ninety-Six: The Gentleman's Agreement

He Xi hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be." ”

Feng Sheng said; "Don't be modest, if you really want to talk about it, I'm waiting for some old people to be gone, and the world is counting on Mu Ying, Lan Yu and others. And after them, you will be counted, King Yan, and a few others. Just do what you want. ”

He Xi said; "This one thing, at least let Yingchuan Hou nod."

Feng Sheng said: "I know the old man, he won't say anything." And Japan doesn't use much. I guess you're going to see the old man too. Just pick up the message. After I go back, I will go back to Nanjing for the Chinese New Year this year and make this clear to Your Majesty, and when the time comes, you will ------."

He Xi said; "The little nephew also knows what to do."

Feng Sheng actually knew very well that he came to Liaodong without authorization, so he naturally wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang an explanation. And this matter, if he, He Xi, and Fu Youde jointly played it, it would be absolutely impossible to allow it. The reason is too simple. The three feudal officials joined forces to change the national strategy first. The first thing the imperial court should do was not to think about the rights and wrongs of this strategy, but to consider the authority of the imperial court.

The conquest came from the Son of Heaven, not from the princes, and this is a matter of principle.

So, on the whole, this is a gentleman's agreement. However, no one will regret it, because once it is repented, it will lose their political credibility. It also turned the original ally into an enemy at once. It's better to refuse outright.

Feng Sheng stayed in Yingkou overnight, and the next day he hurriedly left here and returned to Beiping.

Let He Xi have a dreamy feeling.

It's as if yesterday's events didn't happen at all.

This also depends on the prosperity of shipping within the Bohai Sea. After all, the wind and waves in the Bohai Sea are far smaller than those in the Yellow Sea, and there are a series of small islands between Shandong and Liaodong that can be docked. As a result, Denglai, Yingkou, Lushun, Tianjin and other places are very developed by sea.

Not only official ships, but also commerce.

Formed this era, the Bohai Rim Trade Zone.

Feng Sheng was able to come to Yingkou within a few days, and then returned to Beiping within a few days, except for some well-intentioned people, many people didn't know that Feng Sheng had left once.

He Xi recalled the gentleman's agreement reached with Feng Sheng, and secretly said in his heart: "Come on, I still want to spend six million taels before." Now, it seems, is not enough. ”

For the development of the Northeast, not to mention six million taels, even if two zeros are added, it is not enough. However, in the face of this situation, He Xi became a little excited. It seems that the kind of day when everything is arranged is not challenging, and it does not arouse He Xi's interest at all.

Only this difficulty made him happy.

He Xi said secretly in his heart; "I don't know what the battlefield in Japan is like? It's time to take a trip, and if it snows late, it's not good. ”

------

At this moment, Yang Zhen had just experienced a naval battle.

Yang Zhen raised three large ships and set sail north, having to pass through the Tsushima Strait. Embroiled in a fight. It is the Fang Chengfeng Department and the Japanese Marine.

Not so much a Japanese sailor. It's better to say that it's a wolf.

For a long time, there was no such thing as a sailor in Japan. Their sailors are all pirates, part-time pirates. In the time of Oda Nobunaga. Still so. Not to mention this era. The Ouchi family, the Otomo family, and the Kyushu daimyo sailors as the core, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu recruited the Seto Inland Sea, as well as some pirate and water thieves in Shikoku, and gathered together to form a very large fleet in the eyes of the Japanese. Attack Tsushima again.

This is not what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu meant.

But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not in full control of the situation. In particular, the daimyo of Kyushu, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu entered Kyushu, he lost a lot of benefits, intentionally or unintentionally. In this case, the Kyushu daimyo was generally dissatisfied. They have the largest number of people in the city of Busan.

Intellectually speaking, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu should suppress the delusional emotions of the Kyushu daimyos. But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu understands one thing better, this kind of disobedient friendly army is useless many times.

Of course, the Kyushu daimyo is not without reason.

The reason is that after the Battle of Busan, Daming did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, which gave them an illusion. I feel that Da Ming is nothing more than this, on the sea, they are protected by the kamikaze.

The reason why Fu Youde did not move was that this was Fu Youde's combat style.

When it comes to being young, Fu Youde fights, it's a life-threatening thing, it's a ten-way decision. Born to die.

It can be seen from the battle of Sichuan that from the 4th day of April in the fourth year of Hongwu, all the way to the middle of June, besieging Chengdu, it was simply invincible, and even if there were repetitions on the back road, they did not care, and when Chengdu surrendered, Tang He and others had not yet crossed the Three Gorges.

But when people get older, when they do things, they are not the same as when they were young.

During this period of time, Fu Youde spent more time on rectifying the army. In his opinion, Japan is not a problem, the problem is a military affair. Only by rectifying the army and winning the hearts of the officers and men in the army will Japan be like a dog and a chicken.

During this period of time, Fu Youde focused on getting all departments accustomed to crossing the sea by boat, and he also went down in person to meet the soldiers.

More than a month down. The style of blue jade in the army has gone seven or eight times out of ten, and the army has also recognized Fu Youde.

But in this case, the Japanese side does not know whether they know or not. Anyway, the Japanese side took the initiative to attack, which made Fang Chengfeng extremely happy.

Because of the relationship between He Xi and Fu Youde, Fang Chengfeng is below Fu Youde, and it is second only to the treatment of the descendants, which is much better than when Lan Yu was there, what to increase the ship, and as a pioneer. Wait, a lot of benefits, all smashed over.

Fang Chengfeng was extremely happy, the only problem was that Fu Youde did not want to attack Japan for the time being. Fang Chengfeng could only obey the request, temporarily suppressing the weight in his heart and strongly wanting to fight.

Now, the Japanese have sent it to the door, and it is actually not better.

There is nothing to say about this battle between the two sides.

The Ming ships were better than the Japanese ones.

The Japanese built ships, and even during the Tokugawa shogunate, the craftsmanship of shipbuilding was not very good. It's not worth mentioning at all, not to mention firearms. The artillery on the Ming ship, in He Xi's opinion, was a small cannon. But it was already the Japanese who could not resist.

Both sides spend the most time looking for each other's locations.

This is also the inevitability of naval warfare.

As soon as you go to sea, it is an isolated space, and the sea is vast, and it is difficult to find an opponent.

Fortunately, Japan wanted to attack Tsushima, so the two sides did not go around the sea dozens of times.

But at the time of the confrontation, it was less than half an hour, and the reason was simple, the Japanese ships did not have watertight compartments. Although these small cannons hit the board of the ship, there were only small holes the size of fists, and sometimes there were not even small holes the size of fists. It's just cracks again, water seeping.

The advantage of a wooden boat is that the wood itself floats on the water.

Wooden boats are easy to tinker with. Just nail a plank and it will support for a while.

But the problem is that Japanese ships do not have watertight compartments, only one compartment, and there are few places where water has just begun to enter, and it can be repaired, and when there are gaps everywhere, it is simply impossible to divide the compartments and give up part of them. As a result, the entire ship, only the deck surfaced.

The deck below is in the water.

In this case, the ship will not be able to run at all. When he met the Ming army ships chasing after him, he was naturally slaughtered.

Later, the Japanese also learned well.

One by one, they are scattered birds and beasts. It's all on the sea. Fang Chengfeng didn't have time to chase at all.

Moreover, Fang Chengfeng was also worried that an enemy would bypass here and attack the coast of Goryeo. Then he would be remiss in his duties. So there was no further pursuit. At the same time, Yang Zhen's ship was also discovered, and he immediately raised a flag and asked, who are they?

Yang Zhen naturally replied to his identity.

So Fang rode the wind and waved the flag and asked to see each other.

Yang Zhen naturally agreed.

After a while, the two sides were close together.

The Fang family is considered to be from He Xi's side, not to mention Yang Zhen. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides is very good, and they are familiar with each other in a few words.

Fang Chengfeng said, "Brother Yang, where are you going?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "If it were someone else, I would definitely not say it." But since it was Uncle Fang who asked, how could I not say it, and ask Uncle Fang for some advice. So he said the purpose of the trip.
