Niederlands and Van der Meyer officially cooperated with the Japanese to inform the Japanese of all the information about the southeast coastal ports of the Ming Dynasty that they had previously investigated.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, Sakai Tadashi, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna were shocked at this look, it turned out that the Ming Dynasty was so rich, and it was no longer comparable to the Jiajing period.

During the Jiajing period, the Japanese raiders plundered on a large scale, and the targets were all coastal towns, but the port had nothing to rob.

Now the coastal towns are more affluent, but the richest and most prosperous are the four big ports of Yuegang, Xiamen, Ningbo, and Guangzhou, and there are countless small merchant ships every day, and there are big ships from the West every month.

This is even better than the Port of Nagasaki.

Only one port of Nagasaki was as rich as the port of Tokyo, and the port of Tokyo was slightly more local merchant ships.

There are 4 ports in Daming that have the level of Nagasaki Port, and many other ports are above the Port of Tokyo. The degree of prosperity made Tokugawa Iemitsu drool, and he only hated that he didn't have enough soldiers.

Putmans said: "Since the lifting of the sea ban in the Longqing period, the Ming Kingdom has traded a lot of trade with Ace Duck and Portugal, and the southeast coast has developed very rapidly, and the annual trade volume of a port is as much as that of a European country.

The Ming Navy's sailors are not weak, especially the Fu Boats are far better than your Anzhai Ships, even we Dutch people will buy custom Fu Boats for us to use as merchant ships."

As he finished speaking, he raised his chin high, reflecting the pride and strength of the Dutch people.

The fortune ships that can run rampant in the Japanese kingdom are only destined for the Netherlands as merchant ships.

Although Tokugawa Iemitsu was not convinced, he thought that the Netherlands were invincible at sea, and those Galen battleships were tall and strong. Not a single cannon of the Wa kingdom could penetrate its protections, and not a single ship could catch up with Galen's sails.

He suddenly felt that he was the weakest of the alliance leader!

In the battle on the ground, Houjin was far superior to the Japanese army, and even the Uesugi family, which was the strongest on the island with the same strength, was sent by Nurhachi to step on the military flag and shoot arrows at the head of the family.

Fighting on the sea, as long as the Netherlands is willing, no ship in Tokyo or Nagasaki can sail out. All the plans of the Japanese to attack the Ming Dynasty were escorted by the Dutch.

But I have a lot of people!

If you really want to fight for the volume, although Houjin is strong, it has a population of less than one million, and whether it is the army or food production, it is less than a fraction of the Japanese state.

Even if the East India Company gathers dozens of Western warships, as long as 10,000 ships on the whole island of the Japanese Kingdom are on board, they can climb up and burn them.

Therefore, in East Asia, only our Japanese state can become the leader of the alliance against the Ming state.

With a wave of his hand, Tokugawa Nobutsuna signaled that the parade could begin, and he was ready to arrange the order of boarding and attacking.

More than 100,000 Japanese troops had gathered in Tokyo, a size that was enough to cause severe supply pressure, but the Great Plains of Tokyo had produced plenty of food since the end of the Warring States period.

Back then, Tokugawa Ieyasu relied on nearly half of the world's grain production to sweep away the daimyo of the Toyotomi faction and blow up Osaka's Toyotomi hometown.

Now, the countless amounts of rice accumulated by the Tokugawa for three generations are once again in use, and this rice is enough to feed more than 100,000 people for five years.

This is also one of the important strengths of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Fan Wencheng's eyes lit up.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Wa Kingdom are crooked melons and cracked dates, half of them have no armor, not to mention, most of the people with armor are bamboo armor, and only the generals wear iron armor.

In the Later Jin and Ming Kingdoms, it was completely innocent to secretly possess swords, bows and arrows, and the concealment of strong crossbows and muskets was confiscated and fined, and the concealment of armor was ...... Basically, it started with exile, and there was a high probability of capital crime.

What does this mean, it shows that the role of armor is greater than the former.

An ordinary Eight Banners soldier wearing the captured iron armor of the Ming Kingdom can top five leather armor Saurons.

When a Sauron is changed from leather armor to iron armor, he can fight two ordinary Iron Armor Eight Bannermen.

Nurhachi raised his army with thirteen pairs of iron armor, not thirteen horses, thirteen muskets, and thirteen broadswords.

Armor is one of the totems of Houjin.

It's the entire army of the Wa Kingdom

, dressed in colorful armor, but mostly made of bamboo.

Fan Wencheng gradually came up with a plan.

When the Wa State and the Ming State were both defeated, the Houjin sent a banner to take the South Goryeo occupied by the Wa State.

As long as 3 flags are dispatched, at least nearly 100,000 soldiers can be defeated by the Japanese State~

Matsudaira Nobutsuna guessed that he didn't think much of the Wa Kingdom, so he walked up to him and asked very calmly, "Mr. Fan, do you think that the armor of my Wa Kingdom army is not bright and dazzling enough, and that the flag is not majestic enough?"

"Where, I have long heard that the katana of the Wa Kingdom is extremely sharp, maybe you can't play an advantage against heavy armor, but in terms of slashing and killing unarmored opponents, it is estimated that it is much more powerful than my Houjin warriors."

"This! What does that mean?" Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was slightly stunned.

"Actually, I, Houjin, as the deputy leader of the alliance, of course should make the alliance leader more prestigious, and the Uesugi who killed the anti-war before was a bit too showy. I will definitely let the alliance leader show his demeanor later."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was stunned for half a breath before he smiled and said, "Hahaha, you don't have to prioritize so much, Houjin and the shogunate are brothers, and they can cooperate with each other to dominate the East."

He chatted for a few words and then returned to his position, secretly exclaiming in his heart that Fan Wencheng was quite terrifying.

Because they specially planned to hold a killing competition, so that the Houjin Eight Banner soldiers and the Japanese warriors could kill faster than which side.

1,000 Uesugi relatives and his men have been captured, and it is planned that they will be the targets of the killing, with 5 people on each side and 500 killed first.

Even if the Houjin soldiers are as strong as a bear with a double axe, the killing speed is not as fast as the samurai killing with a katana.

This is Matsudaira Nobutsuna's murderous speed race plan to save face for the Wakoku.

He originally wanted to make this suggestion, but he never expected to be seen through by Fan Wencheng, and what did he say Houjin planned to assist the alliance leader in a low-key manner.

The plan has failed!

Of course, Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't know that it was the retainers around him who had long envied the strong, and secretly hooked up with Fan Wencheng and Aobai.

Fan Wencheng already knew about his plan to regain face, of course he didn't give him this opportunity, and today he was very polite and directly made him have nothing to say.

Everything in the Japanese Kingdom was led away by Houjin and the Netherlands, and they had to be put in the position of the leader of the alliance.

……

Half a month later.

The southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty encountered an all-round enemy situation.

An unknown number of pirates and ronins used homemade sailboats and sampans to cross the ocean to plunder.

This first wave of people were all unemployed and landless samurai of the Wa Kingdom.

They were extremely destitute, and when they heard that the shogunate was willing to give land and status to the ronins who plundered the Ming Kingdom, occupied coastal villages and towns, and provided important information, they immediately set out to rob them.

More than 100,000 unemployed and landless cannon fodder rushed to the front, they were not the soldiers and horses of the Japanese shogunate, and they were also disliked by the strong fan, but they were grouped according to the region, with a scale of hundreds of people and thousands of people, and they found ships to loot on their own.

Thousands of hundred-man squads slaughtered in one go.
