"Marquis Anyuan, is it better?"

Stretching out his hand to open a hatch, Zhu Gaoyu walked in with a bowl of soup and medicine, and lay on the bed with a concerned question, his face pale and willow rising.

Zhu Gaoyu's car is Zheng He's flagship, and in the current world, this ship can be called the first.

The huge hull of the ship is stable on the sea.

As long as it is not a strong wind and waves, it is difficult to shake the ship.

However, it is such a stable ship, Liu Sheng is dizzy, don't want it.

From the first day on board, this guy was lying in bed and couldn't get out of it.

"Let His Highness smile, this sailor is really not capable of ordinary people, in my state, let alone fighting, it's good to be able to stand firm."

Liu Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, took the medicine bowl handed over by Zhu Gaoyu, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

"It's okay, it's all like this, just get used to it."

Zhu Gaoyu smiled and comforted.

took out a chart and spread it out in front of the two.

"I think so, with the state of the Shenji Battalion, it is difficult to enter the battle at the first time, I want to leave you in North Korea and cooperate with the naval detachment left behind to annihilate the Japanese around North Korea."

Liu Sheng didn't refuse.

Not only was he seasick, but the entire Shenji Battalion was no better.

The Shenji Battalion, the unit that the old man attaches the most importance to, is composed of the people that the old man trusts the most.

The old man used to be in the north, so his soldiers were mainly in the north.

The northerners are not good at water warfare, and this is not a mockery, but it is true.

Since he got on the ship, more than eighty percent of the personnel of the Shenji Battalion have been in a similar state to him.

Those who are a little better are also dizzy.

In comparison, the transferred five military battalions were much better.

Many of the soldiers in the Fifth Military Camp are southerners, and they are still in very good condition.

"It's good!"

Knowing his own state, Liu Sheng didn't force it, and nodded and agreed.

"The minister will first clear out the Japanese on the Korean side, and when His Royal Highness has a firm foothold on the Japanese side, we will go over here, so that there will be a buffer time."

After deciding on the division of troops, Liu Sheng looked at the chart and asked, "I don't know where Your Highness plans to fight first in this first step?" ”

Zhu Gaoyu didn't reply, and directly pointed at Tsushima Island between the Korean and Japanese states.

"It's between the two sides, and it's isolated overseas, so it's a very good logistics base for us."

"I plan to occupy this place first, and after you clean up the Korean pirates, you can camp here first."

After talking about the first step plan, Zhu Gaoyu pointed to the Jiuzhou Island area.

"My next plan is to take here, this land is surrounded by sea areas, and after taking it, our navy can completely block it."

His fingers slid up slightly, and a touch of fierceness flashed in Zhu Gaoyu's eyes.

"The next step is to fight upwards step by step until the end of the war."

Liu Sheng, who looked down at the map, didn't notice Zhu Gaoyu's eyes, and frowned: "This is indeed safe, but this will also give the enemy time to prepare, and when the time comes, it will advance step by step and fall into a scorching battle, which is not good for my Daming." ”

"After all, we are not fighting on our own, and the logistics have to be transported from Daming thousands of miles away, once the war drags on for a long time, the consumption of the imperial court will be great."

"Logistics!"

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at Liu Sheng with a smile, slowly rolled up the map, and said meaningfully to Liu Sheng: "Once we set foot on their land, we will have no shortage of logistics. ”

Liu Sheng gasped when he heard this.

As an experienced veteran, how could he not hear the meaning of Zhu Gaoyu's words.

This is a plan to feed the war with war!

"Your Highness, isn't this something inappropriate, if you let the court know, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

"Criticism!"

Zhu Gaoyu smiled and patted Liu Sheng's shoulder.

"If there is no matter of the Kong family, those literati who are still listed in business will definitely be blamed."

"However, with the Kong family first, no matter what we do, they will not say anything, but will applaud loudly."

"They rely on the name of Sage Kong to eat, if they dare to jump out and make accusations."

"Believe it or not, if you don't have to do it, someone will teach them how to behave."

After speaking, Zhu Gaoyu helped Liu Sheng tuck the quilt.

"Marquis Anyuan, you are good in North Korea, encircle and suppress the Japanese and enjoy the Goryeo girls, and I will handle the rest."

With a wave of his hand, under Liu Sheng's worried eyes, he walked out of the cabin.

Liu Sheng is not full of heart and cares about those Japanese people, but is worried that it will bring trouble to Zhu Gaoyu.

Among the crown prince and several princes, he is actually very optimistic about Zhu Gaoyu.

The prince is benevolent, but he is not very concerned about martial arts after all.

Liu Sheng is worried that after a few generations, Da Ming may return to the era of nobility and martial arts.

This is a very difficult thing for a martial artist to accept.

It is precisely because of this that the military generals group is actually not very satisfied with the prince.

Originally, they paid attention to Zhu Gaoxu at the beginning, thinking that if the old man liked it, maybe they could gamble.

However, just as they were about to place their bets, the previously unknown Yue Wang suddenly rose.

Ruthless, calm and calm, not bad for the common people, let alone the soldiers.

When Zheng He's fleet returned, His Royal Highness held a grand ceremony to welcome the fallen soldiers, which pulled the hearts of the warriors fiercely.

Later, the artisan battalion, as well as the flintlock musket that the old man took out, and the imaginary drawings of future weapons, gradually touched the hearts of the generals.

Zhu Gaoyu made a move to Ji Gang, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies went over to help, which was actually a kind of overture.

Liu Sheng's participation in this war of exterminating the Japanese was an observer sent by the military general group.

They see if His Royal Highness the King of Yue is in line with the candidate they have in mind.

At the same time, it is also a test for the old man, to see if the old man will be angry if the military general group contacts the king of Yue.

The initial contact made the military generals a little shocked.

What their generals think, the old man must know in his heart.

But Liu Sheng applied to join the battle, and the old man was silent for a while before agreeing, without the slightest thunderous anger that everyone speculated.

This made the generals receive a signal that His Majesty may also be optimistic about Zhu Gaoyu, but for some reasons, he cannot recognize King Yue like he recognized King Han.

What the reason is, everyone knows in their hearts.

His Majesty is now ranked fourth, and His Royal Highness King Yue is the fourth, and the reason for this is self-evident.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the titles of the four brothers, and the titles of His Royal Highness King Yue are a little wrong.

King Zhao of Han, these are all great country names.

And what about the king of Yue.

Well, there is a Yue King Goujian, but compared with titles like Qin Chu and Zhao Han, it is still slightly worse.

So from these, it can be seen that at the beginning, His Majesty did not give this fourth son a chance.

But this is the son, but he surpasses the other three sons.

This made the old man a little entangled.

Under multiple mentalities, it becomes this state of neither support nor opposition.

What the brothers will achieve in the future depends on their own efforts and God's will.

The generals understood this, and after a long time of discussion, they decided to start tentative bets first.

It's not that they don't want to support the crown prince Zhu Chubby, but the prince's attention to civil officials has made the military generals aware of the sense of crisis.

In August of the ninth year of Yongle.

In order to catch up with the southward retreat of the monsoon, Zhu Gaoyu did not stop in Korea, left a detachment of fleets, and after throwing Liu Sheng and others down, he hurriedly drove the monsoon south.

Looking at the North Korean mainland, which was getting farther and farther away, Zhu Gaoyu was helpless for a while.

The invention of the steam engine must be stepped up, otherwise the monsoon days will be too uncomfortable.

It's better now, if you find Australia in the future, you have to immigrate from the mainland, and the monsoon alone, the population that dies may not necessarily meet the standard.

Therefore, as soon as possible, let the Ming warship be replaced with a steam engine and get rid of this day of sailing by the sky.

Tsushima Island, less than 50 kilometers from North Korea, can even see each other on a sunny day.

Since the 12th century, it has been controlled by the Zong family, and it is also the largest base camp of the Japanese Kou.

Many of the Japanese who attacked North Korea, or the Ming Dynasty, set out from here.

The DPRK also made several expeditions, all of which ended in failure.

It wasn't until the seventeenth year of Yongle that he defeated it, signed a treaty, and became a subordinate of Joseon.

But it may be influenced by the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea is also very much.

After the people took refuge, they directly withdrew their troops and went back.

Later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used Tsushima Island as a springboard to attack Korea.

If it weren't for Daming's father coming to the rescue in time, it would be said whether there would be a history of North Korea in the future.

The day was bright, and the beautiful widow, who had slept all night, yawned and stretched out of the thatched hut.

Some took out fishing nets and prepared to go out to sea to fish.

Some are carrying weapons, ready to sharpen their sharpness, go out to earn extra money, and have a dashing look.

"Come on, there's a dead man here!"

A suspicious exclamation rang out, attracting the attention of the would-be pirates.

Some are curious, what is there to wonder about the dead, when will there be no dead here.

For those samurai who drank too much, duels have become commonplace, and it is not normal not to die a few times a day.

More people are ready to go over to see the excitement.

When they saw the corpse hanging from a tree, their expressions were also surprised.

"This dress looks like Akito!"

A one-eyed samurai, looking at the corpse hanging from a tree, was not quite sure.

"It's Akito." The partner next to him had a cautious expression of affirmation, and then stepped forward and touched the corpse's clothes, and said, "The clothes are high-grade silk, and they are definitely not rich or expensive in the Ming people." ”

He looked at the warriors around him and said dissatisfiedly: "Who went to Daming to loot during this time, this is a little inappropriate to eat alone!" ”

"Nope!"

"I didn't go."

"It can't be our people, during this time, the Daming Water Division has been patrolling strictly, and we don't have a chance to go."

The onlookers all said that they had not been there.

"Bell ......"

Just when the would-be robbers were suspicious of each other and wondered what the identity of the corpse was, an alarm suddenly sounded from the guard station on the heights.

Soon, a sentry sentry rushed over and shouted.

"Boats, lots of ships, still big ships..."

In an instant, the pirates blew up their nests.

One by one, they didn't care about the corpses, and hurriedly ran back to get their weapons and prepare for battle.

"Where did the enemy come from, isn't it those weak sticks."

The head of the Zong family, who was still sleeping lazily, heard the alarm, and crawled out of bed, didn't care about getting dressed, picked up a weapon and ran out.

Seeing that there was some confusion on the island, he didn't know what was going on, so he grabbed a passing samurai and asked loudly.

"Master Zong, I don't know, but I heard from them that there are many boats coming from the sticks on the other side."

"Yaga!"

The head of the clan cursed, drew his katana and shouted.

"Don't mess around, all the samurai obey my orders and immediately go to the defense point, the weak stick is no threat to us. Onboard! ”

"Onboard!"

This guy still has prestige, and with a shout, the somewhat chaotic widows have also stabilized, and followed the head of the Zong family, who was still bare-bottomed, and ran towards the defense point built on the shore.

"Than the ditch!"

When a group of people rushed to the shore and saw the warship covering the sky and the sun on the sea in the distance, they were all stunned.

The head of the Zong family, who rushed to the front and was still naked, was so frightened that the little caterpillar shrank in.

The rushing footsteps also stopped suddenly, because the speed was too fast, the stop was too fast, and both legs pulled a line on the ground.

The shocked head of the Zong family, who didn't feel the pain in his feet at all, held the katana in his hand, and looked at the huge fleet that was slowly pressing.

He couldn't figure it out.

Did you commit some heavenly rules?

Isn't it usually just to bring someone to grab something, so that you can drive such a large fleet?

In fact, he is very talkative, so he doesn't need to send so many fleets at all, just send a cat or a dog over, and he may surrender.

"Baga, you damn horse manure, have you offended some big guys?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out who he had offended, so he turned his head and glared at the warrior behind him, and asked loudly and angrily.

The would-be robbers, who were also frightened by such a huge fleet, looked at him in a daze and shook their heads blankly.

"Damn, it's the Ming army."

A good-eyed widow saw the fluttering flag of the fleet, and his face was sallow.

"Baga, I know that the Ming army is not easy to mess with, don't let you harass Daming, you have to go, now it's okay, people have come to the door, all wait to die."

A small leader of the Japanese who had never agreed to plundering the Ming Dynasty heard the identity of the huge fleet on the opposite side, and he was so angry that he scolded.

"Damn, what's the use of saying this, hurry up and send someone to ask, if the conditions allow, we can surrender."

After a gossip of quarrel, an unlucky guy was pushed out and drove a small boat to the Daming fleet, wanting to find out.

If you're passing through, give them some gifts.

If you come to fight them, then you have to think about whether to surrender or not.

As for fighting, what a joke.

They were all over the island, and the dogs were added up to less than five thousand.

On the other side, a single fart can shock them to death.

They are widows, not fools.

Knowing that he can't win, he still stupidly goes to die, isn't that a pure second force.

Daming has a good saying, called those who know the times are Junjie.

In addition, with their understanding of Da Ming, if they choose to surrender, not only will their lives not be in danger, but they will also have unexpected benefits.

Today, however, they are overthinking.

The guy on the other side didn't even plan to talk to them.

The unlucky clipper hadn't approached yet, and the battleships at the front of the Ming fleet suddenly emitted a few puffs of gunsmoke.

With a faint roar, more than a dozen iron balls spanned hundreds of meters and smashed around the clipper.

I don't know if the unlucky guy is really unlucky, or if Da Ming is lucky.

An iron ball flew out and was very lucky to smash into the Clippers.

With a thud, under the terrified eyes of the unfortunate man, a large hole broke in the bottom of the clipper, and the raging sea poured in, and in the blink of an eye, the ship sank halfway.

"Yaga!"

The unlucky man cursed, turned and jumped into the sea, and wanted to swim to the shore.

However, today's wave was not big but not small, and he spent half a day at sea, only swimming a few meters forward.

It was during this time that a smaller battleship broke away from the fleet and, with its desperate expression, ran over it fiercely.

Discuss, nothing to discuss.

Zhu Gaoyu came to the country to do only two things.

Smash their nests and destroy their race.

From now on, he will never have the title of widow again, and there are only slaves of the Ming Dynasty.

"Baga, what do they want to do!"

The Japanese who saw this scene on the shore were shocked and angry, and scolded angrily.

However, Da Ming's side didn't care about them.

The approaching fleet slowly unfolded, and the main battleship stepped forward, sideways to the island, ready for battle.

Small ships cover both flanks of the fleet and are responsible for blocking enemy fleets.

"Marshal Qiqi, the warships have been prepared, whether to start."

Wang Jin, who was in high spirits, strode to Zhu Gaoyu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, holding a simple monocular in his hand, looking at Zhu Gaoyu's side on the distant island, and reported loudly.

"Let's start, the brothers haven't eaten breakfast yet, let the brothers start, otherwise the meal will be cold."

Wang Jin grinned when he heard this, turned around and came to the command platform, picked up the command flag and ordered loudly.

"The commander has an order, go to war!"

"Knock Knock ......"

As Wang Jinling's flag waved, dozens of drummers beat the war drums in front of them vigorously and issued the order to start a war.

"Attention guns, listen to my commands, target the island, fire!"

The officers commanding in the gun cabin, hearing the drums of the battle, raised the command flag and waved it vigorously at the gunners on standby.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The rumbling sound of cannons shook the heavens and the earth, and wisps of gunpowder smoke were blown away by the sea breeze.

The iron ball, which was propelled by the explosion of gunpowder, flew out of the muzzle of the cannon, whistling in a perfect arc, and smashed heavily towards the island.

A total of 20 ships participated in the shelling, each with 25~30 guns.

In this round of shelling, more than 200 artillery pieces roared.

More than 200 iron balls let out a piercing roar, like a meteor shower, and smashed heavily on Tsushima Island.

Although some of them fell into the sea, most of them fell on the shore.

Although the shell at this time did not have explosive power, the powerful penetrating power was also desperate.

The Japanese on the shore thought that there was still something to talk about, so they did not enter the defense point, and gathered on the shore to look at the sea.

This round of attacks by the Ming army is aimed at them.

Although most missed, there was also a small number of shells that hit the crowd directly.

In an instant, flesh and blood were filled, and limbs flew wildly.

A beach with a pleasant scenery is instantly transformed into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood.
