Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy is actually a farming interest group, and the first battle of the Ning Navy is to fight the bandit Qin Wu, no, in fact, it is Cheng Shijie who eats black, and takes advantage of Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu's dissatisfaction with his predecessor Qianhu Gao Wang, and expropriates Gao Wang and his tyrannical money.

From that time on, whether Cheng Shijie suppressed bandits, or launched the Dengzhou Mutiny, or pacified Kong Youde's rebellion, crossed the sea to attack southern Liaoning, and the battle of Haizhou, including the southward attack on Zheng Zhilong, the strong attack on Dayuan, Luzon and Batavia, the benefits of these wars were far greater than the expenditures, so to speak, through each war, let the Ning Navy fight stronger and stronger.

It's just that this time the boat capsized in the gutter, and after knocking down Tsushima Island, the entire Tsushima Island turned the entire Tsushima City upside down, counting all the broken copper and iron, and the seized materials were as follows, rice, 223 stone and five buckets, all kinds of miscellaneous grains, old grain, a total of more than 36,000 stones, such grain was placed in Liaodong, and it was not even qualified to feed livestock.

As for the value? Hardly.

All kinds of weapons, iron armor, broken copper and broken iron two or three thousand, worth less than 20,000 taels of silver, as for other materials, sake can go into the throat, and some copper coins, Wanli, Chenghua, and even Zhengde, a total of 260,000 pieces, only more than 18,000 taels of silver were seized, plus a batch of gold and silver jewelry.

How to calculate, the capture of the entire Tsushima Island is less than 50,000 taels of silver, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie did not count the food, drink and Lazar of 50,000 or 60,000 horses, the depreciation and maintenance costs of 560,000 warships and transport ships, and the maintenance costs of weapons of 50,000 or 60,000 horses.

However, the seized materials were less than one-third of the cost of artillery shells, and if the cost of all the troops was included, the captured was not even one-tenth.

Cheng Shijie said with a wry smile: "It turns out ...... It turns out that the so-called flag warriors are poorer than our domestic warriors? No wonder Taizu listed Xiaori as a country that is not to be levied, and even raiding the house will be a ghost place, who beats who is stupid. ”

However, after a while, Cheng Shijie was puzzled, no matter how you say it, Xiaori is also a country of silver, and the shogunate has been supporting 80,000 banner warriors for many years, and the family background should be very good, how can it be so poor?

Li Zhixiang asked: "Dashuai, who did you hear that Xiao Ri is very rich?" ”

"Ben Shuai always thought they were rich!"

Cheng Shijie was naturally embarrassed to say that he was misled by the information reports of the small days of the later generations, thinking that the small days of the samurai were very rich and lived a very nourishing life, and the small days of the shogunate, which had been supporting the 80,000 banner samurai for many years, were even more wealthy......

In later generations, there were many extremely high evaluations about Xiaori, among which the mainstream evaluation was that there were a total of 66 countries in the country during the Warring States Period, with a total of more than 23 million stones.

Li Zhixiang coughed and said: "Dashuai, according to the situation that the last general has learned, Xiaori is not as rich as you imagined. It is true that Xiaori has an annual output of several million taels of silver, but most of this silver has flowed into the Ming Dynasty through Hongyi, and there are very few people who really flow into Xiaori. Therefore, the shogunate rarely paid their samurai with silver or copper coins, and they were all paid brown rice. ”

"Brown rice!?"

"It's really brown rice, an ordinary samurai can get ninety catties of brown rice every month, and these ninety catties of brown rice are all the sources of income for their family."

"No wonder they are so poor, with such a stingy boss on the stall, it is impossible not to be poor!"

The ancient history of the little days is a sad history, and they spent more than 2,000 years telling the world what it means to "not have the saddest urge, only the more tragic urge".

This ghost place is characterized by many mountains and little land, barren land, and agricultural production is greatly restricted, so it is really not easy to eat a full stomach...... If you can't eat enough, all the technology and culture are given for nothing. There is a lack of iron ore resources in small days, the area of cultivated land and output have not been able to rise, there is a lack of advanced technology, and there is a lack of ......

In short, a small day lacks everything, except volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons and plagues. Until the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Ri still did not have its own currency, and could only obtain copper coins through trade with the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Xiao Ri woman was polarized.

Edo is very prosperous, the nobles and ministers chant the wind and the moon all day long, between the mountains and rivers, the merchants gather, bronze mirrors, silk, porcelain, spices and other goods from Europe flood the market, the samurai wear a long and a short two samurai swaggering through the city, coupled with exquisite pavilions and temples, beautiful landscapes, and colorful cherry blossoms, the whole Edo is like a paradise on earth.

But leaving Edo was a completely different world, where the daimyo were divided into one side, there were many bandits, and the yellow-skinned peasants endured as much as seventy or eighty percent of the tax and worked hard, and they could not rest or fill their stomachs all year round, and when they were fighting, they had to bring bamboo knives and guns to help, which was hell.

The Kohi Shogunate had 80,000 samurai who were the foundation of the shogunate. However, the samurai in the small days are not engaged in agriculture and business, and they know how to practice martial arts or cut people all day long, and the money issued by the shogunate is their only source of income, and the most important thing is that these guys are still excellent and super high! It's not hard to imagine how hard it was to raise so many samurai who didn't do anything just to eat.

Naturally, the shogunate, which was also very sloppy in hand, could not afford to pay these samurai so much, so they could only use rice to offset the amount. Don't underestimate rice, it's a luxury for most people.

Not to mention the ghost place of Tsushima Island, how much property can Cheng Shijie copy here is called hell!

When the robbery hit Huaziwo, Cheng Shijie was greatly depressed, and led the troops to get on the boat in despair, left, and threw Tsushima Island to the North Koreans to toss slowly. Anyway, after appreciating the "wonderful" performance of the North Korean sailors on the dock of Tsushima Island, he no longer had any hope for the combat effectiveness of the North Korean sailors, and it was purely a joke to take such pig teammates to attack the four major islands of Xiaori, come on, you can stay on Tsushima Island and play slowly.

Hearing that Cheng Shijie was leaving, Jin Zidian hurriedly caught up: "Dashuai, where are you going?" ”

"Hakata Bay, Kyushu!"

Jin Zidian's cold sweat came down instantly: "Dashuai, please think twice!" At the beginning, Meng Yuan's two expeditions to Japan were defeated in Hakata Bay! ”

"That's because they're so stupid, the warships they built are all tofu scum, not to mention, they cross the sea without even knowing the sea conditions, such fools don't die, who will die?"

Cheng Shijie looked at the distant sea, and his expression was a little hideous: "However, now that Lao Tzu is here, they don't have such good luck!" Kamikaze? I'd like to see if their kamikaze is still good and if they can bless these dwarf winter melons! ”

At the beginning, the Yuan army landed in Kyushu at Hakata Bay twice, and broke out an unprecedentedly tragic battle with the samurai of Kori, who were waiting for the battle.

Although the samurai were extremely fierce and tenacious, they were still defeated and retreated under the joint attack of the Yuan army's multiple arms, and finally even the old people and children went into battle. If there is no accident, waiting for the small day will be a terrible massacre, but the accident happened, the deadly typhoon hit a large number of warships and sank, the supply of the Yuan army was slapped into the bottom of the sea by the huge wave along with the battleship, the Yuan army that lost its supply was in turmoil, the Japanese army took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, and the landing troops were almost wiped out.

If this is the case once, it is still accidental, but the two expeditions of Mengyuan and Yuan have all the same results, which makes Xiaori have the confidence to think that he can compete with the big country in the east for the first time in two thousand years, and the "divine wind of protecting the country" that is regarded as a miracle is whistling in the dreams of the people of Zhizhi, and it is six hundred years to blow.

"Dashuai, the foreign minister has to remind you that Hakata Bay has always been the focus of Xiaori's defense, and there are still many fortifications built on the coast for Xiaori to defend against the possible attack of the Ming Dynasty after the Imjin War, and the Kyushu samurai are the most fierce and tenacious samurai in the whole Xiaori, Dashuai is really not a smart choice to land here and meet them!"

"This simple and effective way of warfare has always been what we Ming people are good at, isn't it?"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "The people of Xiao Ri have been boasting that the Samurai of Xiao Ri is the first in Kyushu, and the Samurai of Kyushu is the first in Kumamoto, but Ben Shuai wants to see how fierce and tenacious this Kyushu samurai who dares to be called the No. 1 Samurai of Xiao Ri is!" ”

Jin Zidian sighed: "Actually, if you want to compete with the Kyushu samurai, you can have many options, there is really no need to fight them to the death in Kyushu......"

"We Ming people have a habit of getting up where we fall! Three hundred years ago we planted a big somersault here, of course we have to get face back here! ”

Li Zhixiang had to remind Cheng Shijie: "Dashuai, it was the Yuan Dynasty that planted a big somersault here, and it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Cheng Shijie glared at him fiercely: "Who said it has nothing to do with Daming?" Daming replaced Meng Yuan as the master of the land of Shenzhou, and we have to accept everything left by the previous dynasty, whether it is glory or shame, we have to carry it? ”

The first person to recognize the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang, although Zhu Yuanzhang's parents starved to death during the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, and he actually had a certain deep hatred with the Yuan Dynasty, but as a qualified ruler, he recognized the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty in order to receive everything from the Yuan Dynasty openly.

Of course, just like the Marshal Zhengdong Mansion established during the Yuan Dynasty, it became the Nurgan Du Division of the Ming Dynasty, the Xuanwei Division of Wusizang (now central and western Tibet and its western regions) of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Xuanwei Division of Duogan in the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Shijie is the same, if he does not recognize the legitimacy of Daming, his behavior in Luzon is actually not legal, but the problem is that if he recognizes Daming, he has his own legitimacy.

Jin Zidian couldn't persuade Cheng Shijie, in fact, let alone Jin Zidian, even if anyone came over, don't try to persuade Cheng Shijie, the king of heaven can't stop Cheng Shijie.

So, under the order of Cheng Shijie, the fleet of the Ming Expeditionary Force sailed mightily to Hakata Bay in Kyushu.

"The little devils have always been you attacking us and robbing us before, and now Uncle I have also come to your lair with more than 50,000 troops, we have not forgotten everything you have done, now, pay off the debt!"

……

In fact, Tsushima Island is not far from Hakata Bay, and when the Ming army and the North Korean army washed Tsushima Island in blood, some fishermen came over in shock and brought back the bad news that the Ming army and the Koreans had invaded Tsushima Island in the same boat.

During the Tokugawa shogunate, the current lord of the Satsuma domain, Shimazu Iehisa, was one of the daimyos of Kyushu, and the war to unify Kyushu began during the period of the seventeenth head of the Shimazu family, that is, Shimazu Iehisa's grandfather, Shimazu Takahisa. Later, Toyotomi Hidetomi entered the military Kyushu, and the Shimazu family sided with the Tokugawa family and won the Battle of Sekigahara, so the Shimazu family changed from a daimyo in Kyushu to the lord of the Satsuma domain in Kyushu.

Although Shimazu Iehisa is still the head of the family, he is already an old man in his sixties, and in fact, the affairs of the family and the feudal domain are handled by the second son, Shimazu Mitsuhisa.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was suddenly blindsided: "Did the Ming Kingdom and the North Koreans take the wrong medicine, how did they come to Kyushu?" ”

There was no one to answer his question, he hurriedly sent three small boats to reconnoitre, and the report was that the Ming army had indeed attacked, and the goal was very clear, that is, to run for them, and there were quite a few warships, as far as they could see, there were more than thirty!

Now Shimazu Mitsu was not calm for a long time: "More than thirty warships dare to run to my territory to make waves?" Their courage is really not small! ”

So, Shimazu Mitsuhisa decisively sent his own navy, a fleet of more than six hundred warships, ready to tear the Ming army to pieces!

If you want to say that the naval warships of the Daojin family are not even comparable to the 400 gunboats eliminated by the Ning Navy, the 400 gunboats have a displacement of more than 100 tons, and they are also equipped with four to eight bowl-mouth guns or tiger squat guns, which have a certain combat effectiveness.

But the problem is that the naval warships of the Shimazu family are not even small boats, and Zheng Zhilong is very face-saving in Xiaori, especially in the Satsuma Domain, his status is that of a guest, because Zheng Zhilong has the absolute strength to crush Xiaori. If Zheng Zhilong dispatches one-third of his full strength, Kyushu can change hands.

At that time, it was too extravagant to make a cannon, which required a lot of iron and cannonballs, and for an island country with limited resources, it preferred to use its limited iron resources to make knives that it was good at.

The more than 600 battleships of the Shimazu family only have 68 guns above six pounds, which is slightly more than a giant shark-class battleship in the Ning Navy.

When the navy of the Shimazu family saw the battleships that looked like small hills in their sight, they despaired: "Which bastard reported that the Ming army only had more than thirty warships?" ”

The Ming army is indeed more than 30 ships, this is just one of the fleets, when the day was small, Cheng Shijie mobilized the first fleet, the third fleet and the fourth fleet stationed in the major, except for the second fleet stationed in Malacca, the four major fleets of the Ning Navy dispatched three.

Cheng Shijie looked at the little devil's battleship, rushed over densely, and said with some indignation: "Holy shit, I only sent these stinky fish and rotten shrimp to disgust Ben Shuai!" ”

"Dashuai, have you ever thought that this is the main battleship of Xiao Ri?"

"What?"

Cheng Shijie was dumbfounded: "How is this possible?" ”

"Nothing is impossible, have you forgotten that in the Battle of Mingliang, North Korea dispatched thirteen turtle ships and repelled three hundred and thirty warships of Xiaori!"

Cheng Shijie has seen the so-called turtle ship, and the displacement is between 250 tons and 320 tons, which is not even as good as the Seawolf-class battleships of the Ning Navy.

"Dashuai, how are we going to fight now?"

"Use rocket artillery, rocket artillery is cheap!"

Cheng Shijie now has the helplessness of a beautiful country, taking a missile worth one million US dollars and hitting a broken tent, no matter how it is calculated, it is a loss.

The artillery shells of the Ning Navy are expensive, about fifteen taels of silver, and the solid shells are cheap, but they are all eliminated, and if you want to sink a battleship, you will need dozens of shells on average, which will cost hundreds of taels of silver.

"Dashuai, the last general has an idea!"

"What?"

"Let's just hit it with a boat!" (End of chapter)
