Chapter 281: Zheng He's News! Wakoku kamikaze?
In the letters, the news at the beginning was good.
Since the beginning of the summer, the navy led by Zheng He has been sailing all the way up the ocean current, drifting across the sea, and soon came to the vicinity of the Wa Kingdom.
But although the speed of going was extremely fast, Zheng He did not rush forward, and went straight to the stone to see the silver mountain.
Or directly rush to the beach and land all the way to the hinterland of the Wakoku, and go directly to the Wakoku Emperor.
Zheng He steadily chose to obtain information first.
First, in the weak defense of the Japanese state, build a port where ships can dock and resupply fresh water.
It can also be used as an outpost for attacking land.
Then Zheng He, after finding out the general deployment of the Japanese navy, went straight to the main force of the Japanese navy, wanting to rely on the advantage of strong ships and sharp guns to directly defeat the main naval force of the Japanese navy!
Destroy the defense line of the Wa Kingdom at sea in one fell swoop!
From then on, the Ming Navy could do whatever it wanted in the waters around the Wa Kingdom.
The Wa Kingdom had no ability to resist at all.
And the result was naturally good, the navy of the Ming Dynasty relied on the advantage of strong ships and sharp guns, and directly defeated the main naval force of the Japanese State.
Only a remnant of the sampan remained.
In this battle, at least 80% of the ships of the Japanese Navy were destroyed! If the Wa State wanted to organize a naval battle, it could only rely on a few ships and a number of small wooden boats to attack Zheng He's strong ships and artillery.
It can be said that up to this time.
Zheng He almost mastered the absolute superiority above the sea area!
So at this time, Zheng He decisively made an order, and the troops were divided into three ways, the first way was to take Iwami Silver Mountain directly, and it was necessary to control Iwami Silver Mountain as quickly as possible.
The second way is to take the well-known big pier in the territory of the Japanese country!
Muko Watergate Port located on Chikukei Island!
In this way, we can control the only way to trade by sea, so as to open up the market of the Japanese country!
The third way is to send a small army through a base built on land, carrying the latest weapons and equipment, to prepare to quietly take down the emperor!
Until this time.
The Ming navy led by Zheng He was still in absolute superiority, crisscrossing the sea wantonly, coming and going at will.
But that's when it comes to ...... A raging sea breeze blew, setting off unprecedented wind and waves, and even the treasure ship made by the Ming Dynasty could not completely resist it.
It was damaged to varying degrees.
So I had to rest and recuperate first, and then slowly repair the ship before acting.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, it was the end of the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom, and the Southern Dynasty handed over the three artifacts representing the divine power, that is, the eight-foot mirror, the eight-foot Qionggou jade and the Tiancong Cloud Sword.
The shogun of the Northern Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, had become a great powerhouse and gradually took control of the situation in the Wa Kingdom.
After learning of the damage to the Ming ships, he immediately gathered many daimyo and came to besiege them.
A siege was formed.
Zheng He's ship was damaged and could not sail far away, so it could only dock in the harbor.
Defend against previously built fortifications.
Although relying on the help of new weapons and artillery, as well as the heroic fighting of the Ming navy, the armies of the Wa Kingdom were repulsed again and again.
The sea is not even closer for a minute and a half.
But it can't change the fact that it is surrounded, there is a lack of supplies, and ammunition is consumed quickly.
These are the dilemmas faced by Zheng He.
Therefore, he immediately sent people back to Korea to ask for help, and at the same time seized the time to repair the ship, as long as the ship was repaired, after going to sea, the Japanese state with the main force of the navy could only be taken and requested.
There is no way to fight back!
But for some reason, Zheng He sent several groups of people back to the DPRK for help.
But there was no news of them all.
It wasn't until today that news came, and it was the coastal residents of Songjiang Prefecture who saw a wrecked ship when they were rushing to the sea and came forward to check it.
It was found from the body of a Ming naval soldier.
Although the paper has been dried, you can still smell a hint of sea when you smell it carefully.
After reading this news that is too bad to be bad.
Zhu Yunxi's mood couldn't help but become heavy, and his face gradually became difficult to look at.
Is this another repeat of a kamikaze?
Is there really some unspeakable force preventing this damn Wa country from destroying it?
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but slap the table case hard.
Angrily smash the teacup!
The thoughts in my heart were uncertain, and I couldn't help but think of the Yuan Dynasty, when Kublai Khan had also conquered the Wa Kingdom several times, and even once made the Wa Kingdom think that he would lose the country.
But it seems that God is helping the Japanese country...... During the first expedition of the Yuan Dynasty, it only sent 15,000 men and 900 ships.
But so many people didn't even fight.
Directly because of an inexplicable typhoon, the Mongolians were dizzy and were blown into the sea.
Thirteen,500 people died on the spot! And the rest were taken prisoner.
The Mongols were disgraced.
But such a thing, it doesn't matter if it happens once, there is even a second time!
After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent troops again, and this time the battle became bigger and bigger, with 40,000 Mongolian sailors, plus 100,000 Jiangnan sailors!
Let's fight for the Japanese country!
But just after the army had joined forces, the sailors were displayed on the sea, and suddenly a strong wind blew on the sea.
Hurricane! Blown over countless battleships!
It also caused many warships to lose control, collide with each other, and suffer heavy losses!
More than 100,000 sailors were all buried in the sea.
The conquest of the Japanese kingdom has once again become nonsense.
It's as if there really is a kamikaze to help.
But not to mention that Zhu Yunxi doesn't think there are any gods and sea gods in this world, even if there are gods or sea gods.
That country can do a lot of things that anger and resentment of the heavens, and if this doesn't provoke the heavens to send punishments, it doesn't matter, but a hurricane suddenly appeared.
Is there still a heavenly principle?
Zhu Yunxi never thought that such a thing would appear on his head! It stands to reason that with the quality of the Daming treasure ship, it is completely enough to withstand the wind and waves at sea!
I didn't expect it...... It was a huge wave.
The treasure ships collided with each other, and the hull was damaged in the end, but fortunately, the treasure ships were tall and heavy, and they were not blown over.
The Ming Navy can even hide in the cabin.
There were no injuries, and the supplies were saved, so that they could survive the siege of the Japanese army.
It's just that...... The situation is critical!
If there is no supply and ammunition cannot be replenished, the Ming Navy may really die tragically under the siege of the Japanese army!
And such a thing is something that Zhu Yunxi will never allow to appear!
The navy led by Zheng He is the only naval seed of the Ming Dynasty! It is the reliance of Daming to gallop all over the world in the future!
Zhu Yunxi will never allow Zheng He and his navy to be buried overseas!
Even if you want to cure Zheng He's crimes, you have to let Zheng He return to Beijing safely!
Zhu Yunxi had a decision in his heart, and he was ready to gather the ministers at the moment.
Announcing the immediate reinforcement of Zheng He.
But as soon as he walked out of the imperial study, Zhu Yunxi suddenly heard a whispering voice.
It's the palace people and the slaves who are discussing something.
Zhu Yunxi was followed by a tall and strong guard, and quietly stepped forward to listen carefully.
only to find that what these people said was actually related to Zheng He!
"Eh, you know what? I heard that the navy of the Ming Dynasty suffered a defeat at sea......"
"It's not that you've lost the battle! It was the wind and waves at sea that were so strong that the ships were destroyed. ”
"It's scary...... Eh, what do you say, what will Your Highness do? ”
"Shhhh You little girl! Don't die! What does Your Highness do, it's your turn to guess? ”
"Do your own thing!"
"But...... Why do you think Your Highness has to worry about going to sea? ”
Zhu Yunxi's face became more and more gloomy.
Obviously, he just learned the news, why did these slaves and maids in the palace also know about it?!
Unless...... Someone got the news earlier.
But he was not informed!
In other words, he, Zhu Yunxi, the grandiose grandson, was the last to know the news!
Zhu Yunxi, angry!
