The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 442 Black Eat Black

Three days later, Chongming Island.

"The owner is really good at predicting things, and the people from Zhenhaiwei really plan to go black and eat black."

"Now those Japanese merchants can't escape even if they think about it."

Somewhere in the jungle of Chongming Island, Xuanjiawei set up camp here, waiting for Zhenhaiwei to contact Japanese merchants.

After getting the latest information, Zhang Bo brought it to Daying and said to Zhu Ying.

The main reason why Xuanjiawei was able to catch up with Zhenhaiwei was that the cavalry were all cavalry, and their maneuvering speed was not at the same level as that of infantry.

Zhu Ying took the information in Zhang Bo's hands, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I can appreciate the quality of Zhenhaiwei. It is not a big problem for them to take down these Japanese merchants."

"The main thing is to look at the situation of the battle damage."

Zhu Ying himself does not have a high military talent. If it is a battle involving tens of thousands of people, 10,000+ people, there will be a feeling of being caught blind.

But for small-scale battles under [-] people, he is still very experienced.

Although the Qunying Chamber of Commerce bears the name of the Chamber of Commerce, it should have a total of [-] bulk cavalry under its banner.

If we really want to gather all of them, some small and medium-sized tribes on the grasslands, or the Western Regions, and some small countries in Eurasia, can be directly flattened.

Don't underestimate the power of [-] cavalry. If there is no corresponding countermeasure, or on the open grassland, even [-] to [-] infantry can easily die.

"How long will it take for them to arrive here?" Zhu Ying asked.

Zhang Bo replied: "Currently Zhenhaiwei has already boarded the ship. According to the current situation, it should be after noon that they will contact the Japanese merchants."

"Zhenhaiwei currently dispatches 2000 people, and the troops are divided into two groups."

"There are about 500 people in the vanguard army, and they should be directly outflanking the rear of the Japanese merchants. The remaining [-] people probably came to contact the Japanese merchants."

Zhu Ying nodded upon hearing this.

At present, it means that Zhenhaiwei has few information channels for bullying Japanese merchants, and has controlled various docks.

Otherwise, news of the 2000 people would soon reach the Japanese merchants.

Chongming Island is surrounded by the sea, and the ships of the Japanese merchants are not bad. If they knew the news in advance, they would definitely board the ship and flee.

In the vast sea, Zhenhaiwei had no possibility of chasing him.

"Order the Xuanjia Guards to dispatch together when Zhenhai dispatches to wipe out the rear of the Japanese merchants."

"The first is to prevent Japanese merchants from slipping through the net, and the second is to strictly monitor the actions of Zhenhaiwei. If any behavior of killing good people and pretending to be meritorious is found, it will be stopped immediately."

Zhu Ying thought for a while and ordered.

Killing the good and pretending to be meritorious is a very common phenomenon, no matter in the current Ming Dynasty or in the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty.

A seemingly simple sentence of protection is actually a fatal blow to the common people.

Those people who helped the Japanese merchants hide, if they were someone else, they would naturally not show mercy, and would not even think about it. This is the reason for the so-called success.

Especially in terms of behavior, no matter what their thoughts are, they helped the Japanese businessmen after all, let alone, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, these common people are also guilty.

But Zhu Ying didn't have any hatred for them at all, that's not how the consecutive seat system was handled.

The laws of Ming Dynasty, on many levels, have always given people the feeling that one size fits all.

Basically, as long as it has something to do with breaking the law, especially the common people, it will almost implicate a large number of people.

It's not that Zhu Ying likes to express the heart of the Virgin, but mainly the people themselves, and there is no such thing as a pattern.

On the bright side, it is normal for Japanese businessmen to hire ordinary people in Shanghai County, accepting employment from other countries, and the common people will not say whether the employment is reliable or not.

The law understands human feelings. On this point, Zhu Ying felt that he should be lenient towards these common people.

As time passed, it soon came to the afternoon.

In a remote coastal place on Chongming Island, hundreds of Japanese are waiting.

The leader of the Japanese merchants had a smile on his face.

"After this transaction is successful, I will present the firearms to His Majesty the Emperor and Your Excellency the General. From now on, the future of the family will be smooth sailing and the sky will rise."

"At that time, you don't have to work hard to run around in this sea."

"In these years, every time I go to sea, I am terrified. I am afraid that one day my luck will be bad and I will just sink into the sea."

A real noble, of course, would not say that he was like a Japanese businessman who often travels on the sea.

The sea is not a place to talk about good or bad, just a little big wind and waves may throw the lives of the whole ship.

If the ship is destroyed, people are bound to die, and there is no way out.

Hearing the commander's answer, the Japanese warrior next to him echoed, "The strength of the Ming Dynasty lies in its firearms. Once we also master the method of making firearms, the Ming army in China will definitely be defeated."

"When the time comes, your lord will make great contributions to the sky, and you will definitely become famous."

Daimyo, in Japan, is equivalent to a prince. Whether it is the emperor in name, or the shogun who controls the real power, they all want to win him over.

It can be said that the wish of most nobles is to become a daimyo.

During the conversation, a ship appeared on the sea in the distance.

"It's Zhenhaiwei, Zhenhaiwei's boat is coming."

With an exclamation, more than 100 Japanese people, including the leader of the Japanese businessman, immediately raised their spirits and smiled.

In their view, the arrival of Zhenhaiwei means credit.

on board.

"Damn it, it's a big loss. Why are there only more than 100 Japanese people? This head is not enough for our brothers to share. If I knew it, I should have snatched up and outflanked the rear of these Japanese merchants."

"Going to the rear, even if there are fewer Japanese people, there are still many heads, and some criminals can be used to make up the number. What a loss."

On the deck, looking at the Japanese people by the sea, the thousands of households in Zhenhaiwei carefully counted several times, and then they were sure that there were only a hundred people, and suddenly they complained unhappily.

Including the other hundred households, the general flag also had an unhappy face upon hearing the words

A hundred heads is really not enough.

"There is not even a ghost in this place, so we can't make up the numbers. Boss, when Sha Qianhu and the others take down the back of the Japanese merchants, we must share some credit with us."

"Otherwise, my brother's running this trip is really aggrieved, even if it is to give some heads, at least I can get more money."

When the leader Qianhu heard this, he nodded in agreement, then looked at the distance, and shouted loudly: "We are about to dock soon, brothers, cheer me up."

"Remember it all. After getting off the boat, you don't have to talk to them, just surround them and don't let them run away."

"Originally, the number of heads assigned to the brothers this time is small, if some of them run away, it will be a real loss."i"

"Brothers who hold firecrackers, get ready first. Don't these Japanese people want our firecrackers? Let them take a good look at how our Daming's firecrackers are shot."

"Don't load the cannons on the boat for me. When the cannons are fired, these Japanese people are designated to run faster than rabbits. Remember not to startle them."

As Qianhu yelled, the sergeants on the ship immediately began to answer in a row.

Not long after, the army loaded with five hundred soldiers docked.

The Japanese people didn't just watch, they hurried over to help stop the boat, they were extremely attentive.

Qianhu watched from the deck, smiled coldly, and did not speak.

The sergeant of Zhenhaiwei who got off the boat immediately ran towards the rear of the Japanese. Although the leader of the Japanese merchants felt a little strange, he just comforted himself in his heart. This is probably the usual style of Zhenhaiwei.

Seeing that the sergeants had cut off the retreat route of the Japanese merchants, Qianhu laughed loudly and shouted:

"Brothers, kill the pirates!!!"

As the shout started, the silent Zhenhaiwei sergeants immediately drew out their long knives with a sneer, and directly slashed at these unsuspecting Japanese.

The firecrackers who came down from the deck had already loaded the gunpowder, simply took aim, and started shooting directly.

bang bang bang! ! !
Matchlock guns haven't been fully popularized yet. At present, they are mainly supplied to the Japanese army and transported to Zhenhaiwei. There are only one or two hundred guns in total.

Therefore, nearly a hundred firecrackers fired guns one after another in a seemingly majestic manner, and the smoke filled a large area, but the casualties on the Japanese side were less than 20 people.

Poor accuracy rate, the current firecrackers are all about giving a general direction, which is almost the same way as the cannon.

"Wrong number, wrong person, we are here to trade, honorable Lord Qianhu, you called the wrong person."

Facing Zhenhaiwei's attack, the leader of the Wa Kingdom immediately began to shout loudly in fluent Chinese.

Qianhu stood at the bow of the boat and said with a sneer, "I made a call to the wrong person, and I traded something. I received a secret report that it was you Japanese pirates who tried to invade my Ming Dynasty."

"Today, the official specially led people to come and wipe out all of you Japanese pirates."

Hearing this, the leader of the Japanese merchants didn't know that Zhenhaiwei was going to be black and white.

Immediately organize the manpower to start defending.

In fact, saying that they are Japanese pirates is nothing like framing them.

There is only one word difference between Japanese merchants and Japanese pirates, but it is indeed a matter of thought.

These Japanese merchants are maritime merchants who abide by the rules when faced with powerful force.

When it is discovered that its own military strength far exceeds that of the transaction party, it will not hesitate to show its fangs.

The cruelty of the Japanese can be seen, they don't have any scruples, every time they are in such a situation, they seem to become wild beasts, without any humanity at all.

Even if it is a baby in the swaddle, it will not be let go.

And women are often hijacked by them on sea ships, where they are humiliated.

Before the next transaction, these women will not keep them. For their own dignity and to hide their crimes, they will kill the women directly, and then throw them into the vast sea to destroy the corpses.

On the coast, the sergeants of Zhenhaiwei who went first surrounded but did not attack, and the main output was entirely produced by the firecrackers.

Zhenhaiwei, who has dealt with Japanese merchants and Japanese pirates for a long time, knows very well that these Japanese people walking along the coast of Daming are very brave, and the intersection of cold weapons often bursts out with strong morale.

Especially in the situation of such trapped beasts, blindly commanding the sergeants to charge and kill, although the enemy can be dealt with more quickly, it will also cause unnecessary casualties.

In a war involving thousands or tens of thousands of people, the casualties of a few or a dozen people seem to be very small numbers, but for each general flag, small flag, and even the sergeant himself, it means a lot. completely different.

This reflects the importance of middle-level officers, the more details are controlled, the more important it becomes.

Blind rushing will only lead to greater tragedies. Even if they win, they will cause too much loss to themselves, which is also a blood loss.

"These damned dogs, they want to kill us slowly, all warriors, follow me!"

The leader of the Japanese merchants immediately saw Zhenhaiwei's intentions.

Although the accuracy rate of the firecrackers is not high, under the row after row of shooting, every time the sound of the firecrackers sounds, a few unlucky ones will be directly killed.

The biggest effect of the firecracker gun is not only reflected in the killing, the power of gunpowder, once shot to the body, even if it is not a fatal injury, it will greatly reduce the combat power of the Japanese.

Those Japanese who were injured by gunpowder on their arms and chests, even if they did not die, basically had no combat power to speak of.

It seems that there are still nearly a hundred Japanese standing there, but in fact, there are less than seventy who are really capable of fighting back.

The Japanese commander knew that if he went on like this, he would only be slowly consumed to death, so he shouted to kill a bloody road.

"The whole army charges and kills me!"

At the same time when he heard the shout, Qianhu immediately understood that the siege was useless, and launching a total attack was the best choice.

As Qianhu yelled, all the sergeants immediately rushed off the boat except for the musketeers, and began to charge and kill the Japanese.

There were about 200 people disembarking ahead, but the direction of the sea was too wide. When the Japanese gathered together, it was difficult to stop them completely.

Under the charge of the Japanese, more than a dozen people were hacked and killed immediately. Even if they were constantly chasing and killing, without the cavalry, it was obvious that many people would be run away.

Although a little helpless, Qianhu knew that there was no other way.

It can only be ordered to pursue, killing one more person counts as one person.

Seeing that more than 30 Japanese people rushed out of the encirclement and were about to flee.

There was a sound of horseshoes, and hundreds of knights galloped from afar, all of them wearing armor and red robes.

That touch of red is terrifying.

When they get closer, they can see that the most advanced matchlock guns of Ming Dynasty are still hanging on the waists of these Tiqi.

No one is as fast as a horse.

When he saw the appearance of Tiqi, the leader of the Japanese businessman suddenly fell into despair.

Immediately after that, a burst of fierceness erupted, and he roared loudly in Japanese.

Following the roar of the Japanese merchant leader, all the Japanese burst out with a sense of death, and they stopped running away, and turned around to kill Zhenhaiwei.

Obviously knowing that he must die, he has to drag a few people into the water.
