I'm really not doing business

Chapter 616: Oda Nobunaga's resistance, under the pretext of the navy's independence
If you are unlucky, you will be a county magistrate; if you are evil, you will be a capital city; if you are full of evil, you will be a capital city.
Wang Xiyuan couldn't understand how Wang Yi'e, who went to Shandong to be the governor, survived his ten-year official career as the chancellor of Shuntian Prefecture. He couldn't even finish his year in office before he couldn't stand it anymore. Take Tu Long's feasting and debauchery as an example. There were two marquises involved in the case!

When Wang Xiyuan received the report, he was overwhelmed. He gritted his teeth and went to Taibai Tower. He finally subdued the three gentlemen and brought them into the house.

Feasting and debauchery are minor matters. Many cases, if not investigated, will not pass the examination law. If investigated, they may implicate hereditary military heroes, royal relatives, and court ministers.

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was held in rotation by the six ministers of the six ministries. In fact, the six ministers never took care of these matters, and all of them were resolved by Wang Xiyuan, the chancellor of the prefecture. As a disciple of Zhang Juzheng, he could not ask the master for everything, otherwise he would be considered incompetent.

There are also huge amounts of miscellaneous affairs that make Wang Xiyuan run around busy. There are now 284 million people in the capital, and he is responsible for managing the eating, drinking, and defecation of these million people. Just the garbage disposal gives Wang Xiyuan a headache.

Originally, there were countless owners of manure channels in Gyeonggi Province, and they often fought with each other for the control of the channels. The key point was that it would delay the disposal of manure.

In some streets, because the owners of the feces channels are not clear about the dispute, no one can go there, resulting in feces not being disposed of for more than ten days. The streets are full of stench and garbage is piled up like mountains.

In order to facilitate management, Wang Xiyuan planned that the owners of the manure canals should stop doing the manure canal business and let the imperial court do it instead.

Theoretically, it was easy for the imperial court to do this. Every year, countless poor laborers came to Beijing to make a living. The job of collecting excrement was tiring and smelly, but it could support a family. The imperial court had no shortage of places for composting, and the official factories were still selling water and fertilizer.

But when it really came to do it, Wang Xiyuan got hit hard. Then he understood why Wang Yi'e and Shen Yikuan, knowing that the disposal of feces involved the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, still left it to the master of the feces channel.

Because entrusting the matter to the owner of the manure channel was essentially a way to shift the conflict by harming each other at the grassroots level. When the government took the matter on itself, the conflict became a conflict between officials and the people. The Shuntian Prefecture government was the first to bear the brunt of the impact, and it was a thankless task.

Wang Xiyuan was scolded badly. Whenever there was any small matter such as untimely disposal of feces, improper disposal of compost, or leakage of manure carts, Wang Xiyuan was the one who was scolded. Even the bailiffs in the government office were somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Xiyuan. In the beginning, the bailiffs had to dig out feces and pull manure carts.

Fortunately, Wang Xiyuan stood up and got the matter settled.

This is just the disposal of feces in garbage disposal, and garbage disposal is still a trivial matter in the government affairs.

Wang Xiyuan really couldn't take it anymore.

"How about this? I'll assign you four assistant officials, all of fifth rank, to assist you in governing the country. This way the general affairs problems can be solved." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and decided to find some helpers for Wang Xiyuan. It's not that Wang Xiyuan is not as talented as Shen Yikuan and Wang Yi'e, but the population of the capital is still growing, and urban management has become visibly complicated.

Wang Yi'e doesn't have to face the problem of traffic jams, but Wang Xiyuan has to.

There were four assistant officials who were in charge of the main task. Originally, Wang Xiyuan only had one governor under him, which was indeed not enough.

"Feng Daban, write a memorial to the Ministry of Personnel to ask whether it is feasible to add four fifth-rank governors to take charge of a city with a population of one million." Zhu Yijun wrote a memorial to the Ministry of Personnel to see what the ministry's opinion was.

Zhu Yijun first solved the problem of Wang Xiyuan's numerous miscellaneous affairs.

The prefect is appointed by the officials of the six ministries, all of whom are government officials, while Wang Xiyuan, the chancellor, is a general affairs official and really plays the role of a punching bag.

"There is another special thing about this place in the capital, that is, the official is very high-ranking. Please allow me to think about it slowly." Zhu Yijun's fingers kept tapping on the table, considering how to deal with it.

This is an old problem. It was already very obvious during the Tang and Song dynasties. The solution of the Song Dynasty was for the prince or the crown prince to concurrently serve as the prefect of Kaifeng (the capital). However, it was actually of no use, because neither the prince nor the crown prince was in charge of these mundane affairs, and the prefectural chancellor was still the one who was in trouble.

Wang Xiyuan was Zhang Juzheng's direct disciple and a fellow villager, but he couldn't stand it either, because you couldn't ask Zhang Juzheng for help on everything. This kind of relationship was only needed at critical moments. How could the incense and incense relationship withstand the daily tossing? If he ran to the Quanchu Guild Hall to cry and beg for mercy when something happened, after a few days, the incense and incense relationship would be gone.

"How about this, I will promote you to the third rank. This way, it will be easier to deal with you." After thinking it over, Zhu Yijun found that the biggest problem with the position of Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister was that he was only at the fourth rank. This position was neither too big nor too small, but it was not enough. A higher rank official would crush a person to death. Now Wang Xiyuan was promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank.

In this way, Wang Xiyuan would be more confident when handling some cases. With his strong background, he would be less afraid of some people, because above the third rank is the third rank, which is within the scope of the eight ministers. The handling of the third rank needs to be approved by the court, and it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian prefect.

This can only be said to have slightly relieved Wang Xiyuan's pressure. Something is better than nothing. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister involves the families of some senior officials. Wang Xiyuan is still cautious and embarrassed. Sometimes a senior official passes a note. Should Wang Xiyuan accept it or not? These are all problems.

If this problem were easier to solve, it would not have become a difficult problem since the Tang and Song dynasties.

Zhu Yijun could only relieve some of his pressure, but he still had to bear it himself.

Wang Xiyuan kowtowed again and did not speak for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he bowed his head and said obediently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

He could only thank him. His Majesty's intention was very clear. He was not allowed to retire and had to continue working. He was also promoted to a higher rank, so he had no choice but to continue working. If he continued to clamor for retirement, it would be a bit like forcing the emperor to abdicate.

"Stand up and talk. I know you are in trouble. So, if you have any troubles, just come to Tonghe Palace and ask me." Zhu Yijun gave Wang Xiyuan some extra convenience, that is, to meet the emperor.

Only the assistant ministers and court officials have the power to see the emperor at any time. All officials below the court officials have to go through the procedures. There are only twenty-seven officials who can go to Tonghe Palace to pay their respects and ask questions about government affairs. Now there is one more person, Wang Xiyuan. This will give Wang Xiyuan convenience so that he will not be so embarrassed.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Wang Xiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. Being promoted to a second-rank official or a rank higher than the emperor was the easiest thing to do!
This is the promise of His Majesty. Go ahead and do it boldly. Even if you really poke a hole in the sky, Your Majesty will support you.

He doesn't have to use this power to see the emperor when he has something to do, but as long as he has this power, he will have the confidence to do things and he can avoid the powerful. How big can it be bigger than the sky? !
Zhu Yijun kept Wang Xiyuan for another quarter of an hour, mainly to talk about many details about Yunnan Copper. Wang Xiyuan was no incompetent person. He fought with local chieftains for four years to smelt copper in Yunnan before he got the basic base of Yunnan Copper. Only then did the Yunnan Copper Official Factory get on the right track and operate for another eight years, making Yunnan Copper a pillar industry in Yunnan.

To this day, there is still a shrine to Wang Xiyuan in Yunnan to commemorate his contributions, just as Li Bing and his son were deified as Erlang Shen.

"I'll take my leave." Wang Xiyuan bowed his head and took his leave.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xiyuan's back and said to Feng Bao, "When Wang Xiyuan comes to see me in the future, if I am not here, let him write a note in the West Flower Hall. I will deal with it when I see it."

A note is not an official document, but it is convenient.

"Your Majesty is already busy with government affairs and has to deal with all kinds of things every day. Do you still want him to deal with affairs? As a minister, he does not think of working hard to repay Your Majesty's grace and share Your Majesty's worries, but instead asks Your Majesty to solve his problems. How can this be true? I don't understand." As the prime minister, Feng Bao did not raise his doubts in front of the external ministers, but he did not agree with the Majesty's handling of the matter.

Your Majesty is busy enough.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Wang Xiyuan was doing well in Yunnan. His next step was to seek the position of governor of Yunnan. He came to Beijing to be promoted. He was doing well when he came here, and he can't go back."

"After all, I kept him in the capital because I needed him. Why did I discuss the Yunnan copper matter with Wang Xiyuan and transfer Wang Xiyuan back to the capital? The Yunnan copper mine has been in trouble, which is considered as the court disturbing the local area."

"Give me a little bit of power. Besides, Wang Xiyuan is also respectful and will not bother me with trivial matters. He actually lacks confidence, and I give him confidence."

Now Wang Xiyuan has the power to "make trouble before His Majesty", and this power is really important to him.

This is a powerful weapon. It doesn't even have to be brought to His Majesty. As long as these words are spoken, many problems will be solved.

Just like the current Hangzhou prefect Yan Shixuan, when he was in Shanghai County, he had no way to make trouble in the Wenhua Palace, so he could only be extremely careful and cautious, treading on thin ice.

"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Bao thought about it and agreed with His Majesty's statement. Wang Xiyuan must be crazy to bother Your Majesty with all kinds of matters, big and small.

Zhu Yijun began to review memorials and did not stretch until the moon rose above the willow branches. Diligence in government was only a necessary prerequisite for the revival of the country.

After the Qing Dynasty was oppressed by Emperor Qianlong for more than 60 years, Qianlong finally died, and Emperor Jiaqing finally obtained the real power of the emperor he had always dreamed of.

Starting from giving Qianlong the temple name Gaozong, Emperor Jiaqing began to work hard to govern the country.

He began to fight corruption, starting with Heshen, but after years of fighting corruption, he found that the more he fought corruption, the more corrupt officials he killed, and fifty more would pop up to continue their corruption.
He began to rectify the administration of officials, but the more he did so, the more chaotic the administration became. Factional strife became more intense, to the point where even the emperor could no longer suppress it.
He rectified the academic affairs, but the more he rectified, the worse the atmosphere became. The system of tutors became popular during the sixty years of Qianlong's reign, and all of them were lackeys of his school, all of them were condoned and patronized;

He set an example by promoting frugality, not building palaces or temples, and not indulging in extravagance and debauchery. However, the more he promoted frugality, the more extravagant he became.

On the morning of February 20th, the eighth year of the Jiaqing reign, Emperor Jiaqing returned to the palace and entered the palace from Shenwu Gate (formerly Xuanwu Gate, the back gate of the imperial palace) and then Shunzhen Gate. Shenwu Gate was already within the Forbidden Garden.

The chef Chen De and his son Chen Luer sneaked into the Forbidden City's Donghua Gate in a mysterious way, then went around to the north gate of the imperial palace, Shenwu Gate, and then hid behind the gable of the west wing next to Shenwu Gate and outside Shunzhen Gate, waiting for Emperor Jiaqing.

When Emperor Jiaqing's carriage arrived, Chen De rushed towards it wielding a sword.

None of the imperial guards or the sword-bearing guards tried to stop him. It was not until Chen De rushed in front of the imperial carriage and shouted, "You dog emperor, give me your life!" that the guards reacted and subdued him.

Subsequent investigation revealed that Chen De was a psychopath. The reason he wanted to assassinate Jiaqing was just to become famous and make people remember him. There was no one behind the scenes.

As for how they sneaked into the Forbidden City, how they bypassed the Shenwu Gate, and how they ambushed the west wing, no one knows anything. Chen De explained everything and it was as easy as walking on flat ground. As for how Chen De, a poor laborer who came from a kitchen, knew the layout of the imperial palace and how he knew that Emperor Jiaqing would pass by the Shenwu Gate that morning, no one has investigated clearly.

After only four days of investigation, Chen De and his son were both executed by slow slicing.

Such a major case as the assassination of the emperor was hastily closed after only four days of investigation. It can be seen that there was another hidden story behind this matter, but Emperor Jiaqing could no longer investigate further.

During the reign of Emperor Jiaqing, there were twelve cases of breaking into the palace, large and small. For example, someone picked up a waist badge and sold steamed buns in the palace. He did this for two years. The Empress praised the buns she bought and told Emperor Jiaqing that they were delicious. Only then did Emperor Jiaqing become furious.

Restoring the Ming Dynasty and making it great again is never easy, and there are countless tests along the way. Zhu Yijun knows this very well: when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together, but when the luck is gone, heroes will not be free.

Therefore, while the situation is still favorable, Zhu Yijun is willing to do more to allow the Ming Dynasty to accumulate more capital so that the day of transportation will come later, and when it comes, the impact will not be too bad.

The next morning, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty summoned Sanniang to meet him before the court meeting.

"No need to be polite, Miss San is still as elegant as ever." Zhu Yijun extended his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."

"I was shocked to hear that Your Majesty was ill and was terrified. Today, I saw that Your Majesty's eyes were like lightning, your voice was like a bell, and your aura was like a dragon. Just as the Prime Minister said, Your Majesty is blessed by Heaven and is the only master in the world." The Third Lady kowtowed again. She was not flattering him but was sincere.

When the emperor was seriously ill, Zhang Juzheng said to the cabinet ministers, "Your Majesty is blessed by God and will be fine."

At that time, Zhang Juzheng had already appealed to the gods and ancestors for protection. In that era when people could easily die from colds and fevers, it was indeed very dangerous for Your Majesty to get infected during the operation. Even the chief physician of the Dissection Hospital issued a notice of critical illness, and the Empress cried until she could not cry anymore.

They have survived all this, and the fact that the emperor is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is supported by facts. After all, if even the King of Hell doesn't dare to take someone away, he must be the reincarnation of a true god.

Zhu Yijun did not say that he was the chosen one, the destined master, or the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor. This is the non-existent order to destroy Buddhism. The imperial court never issued such an edict. These were all strange tricks that the local governments came up with to resolve conflicts. It had nothing to do with the emperor. This was a typical case of wanting to solve the problem but not wanting to take the blame. It just made life difficult for Pan Jixun and Sanniangzi.

The infamy was borne by Pan Jixun and Sanniangzi.

Zhu Yijun avoided talking about the reincarnation of Zhenwu Emperor, but officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple had already informed Sanniangzi in advance. Sanniangzi was very fortunate that the court tacitly agreed to their promotion of the mythical emperor, which was already a rare achievement. Therefore, Sanniangzi did not take the initiative to talk about the reincarnation of Zhenwu Emperor. Everyone tacitly executed this order to destroy Buddhism that did not exist in the documents.

Sanniangzi mainly reported on some progress in raising livestock on the grassland.

It was only then that Zhu Yijun realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. After listening to Sanniang, the emperor realized that the morbidity and mortality rates of captive livestock were lower because the living environment was more stable. Even humans can suffer from acclimatization, and so can livestock.

Zhu Yijun originally thought that livestock in captivity would be more susceptible to illness, but this is not the case.

The only problem with captive breeding is that it is extremely costly and not every herder can afford it, so nomadic herding is still a widely used mode of production.

"I request your permission to go to the Jieku Hospital to pay a visit to the Chief Physician Pang Xian, and you can let the judge Wu Lian accompany me." The third lady stated her request.

"Why does Madam Zhongshun want to go to the Jiekuyuan?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"Imperial Physician Pang needs some people to do experiments." Sanniang explained the whole story clearly. Pang Xian had a project that was urgently needed on the grassland.

The former Shaanxi Governor Shi Maohua was seriously ill, so he made a detour to Hetao and returned to the capital from Guihua. Pang Xian was the accompanying doctor. After returning to Beijing, Pang Xian started a project that was related to the fate of the country, the prevention and treatment of smallpox.

Smallpox was rampant, affecting everyone, regardless of their status, age or gender. Princes, nobles, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, all were terrified when they contracted the disease, and there was no cure, so they had to sit back and watch them die.

For example, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was nicknamed Kang Mazi. The reason why Kangxi became emperor was entirely because of the rampant smallpox. Kangxi had had smallpox and would not get it again, which gave him a huge advantage. Even though he had pockmarks all over his face, he still became emperor.

The traditional prevention and treatment method of the Ming Dynasty was to use human smallpox vaccination to prevent and treat smallpox. There were four methods: the smallpox clothing method, the smallpox plasma method, the dry seedling method, and the water seedling method. However, there was a huge problem with these four methods, which was that the human mortality rate was extremely high.

Pang Xian's research topic was how to use cowpox to prevent and treat smallpox.

When in Guihua City, Pang Xian was extremely surprised to find that the milking girls and butchers on the grassland rarely had pockmarked faces. Instead, the nobles all had pockmarked faces. This aroused Pang Xian's curiosity. Why were these poor laborers able to avoid being infected with smallpox?
Soon, Pang Xian discovered that the reason why these girls and butchers would not get sick was very simple. They had already had smallpox and all survived, and they did not have pockmarked faces. The source of all this was cowpox in cows.

"Then let Wu Lian take you to visit him." Zhu Yijun approved Sanniang's request, and then asked, "Is smallpox on the grassland also serious?"

The third lady thought for a while and said, "There is nothing to see when you go out. The plain is covered with bones. There are hungry women on the road, with their children abandoned in the grass. Every time the plague rages, several tribes will be wiped out. They can't even leave the name of their tribe."

"Your Majesty, the rampant Lamaism on the grassland is also related to this. We cannot turn to good doctors, so we can only turn to gods and Buddhas."

Li Zhi mentioned more than once that in order to make people get rid of religion, they must get rid of the environment that requires religion. The harsh climate, cruel killings, rampant plagues, and precarious lives forced the grassland people to worship that illusory other shore and pin everything on the other shore and the afterlife.

"Your Majesty is a wise leader. He points his finger to the grassland. The heavenly soldiers and generals save the border people from danger. Your Majesty is the sun in the sky. All things grow under your protection." Sanniang spoke a fact about the grassland in an extremely exaggerated tone and flattering language, which showed the lofty status of His Majesty in the hearts of the grassland people.

Sanniangzi and Pan Jixun did not come up with the idea of ​​using the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu to replace the deformed beliefs of Tibetan Buddhism without any basis, but because Your Majesty enjoys widespread support on the grassland.

Perhaps Your Majesty, as a natural noble, does not even know what it means to the people of the grassland that he has been able to eliminate poverty, disease, war and other unstable factors and bring a stable life to the grassland.

In short, they are reborn parents.

Zhu Yijun really didn't know that the main reason he conquered the grassland was for the coal in Shengzhou and the gold, silver, copper and iron in Womagang. He was driven by profit. The Ming Dynasty needed more coal to ignite the process of industrialization and promote the realization of the commodity economy.

After Sanniang left, Zhang Juzheng reported the Ministry of Personnel's discussion on adding the second official of Zhizhong to Shizuo in Shangjun, a city with a population of one million. The Ministry of Personnel had approved the discussion. They also had to respond to the chaos caused by Dong Wei, the advisor of Shen Shixing. They were indeed too busy to handle it because the population to be governed was too large.

There are only three counties that meet the requirements of being a superior county with a population of one million: Bei Ya, Nan Ya, and Songjiang Prefecture. The others do not meet the requirements of being a superior county. Guangzhou Prefecture, Zhangzhou, Ningbo, and Mizhou will also have to add assistant governors in a few years.

Zhu Yijun specifically inquired about the rampant smallpox in Ming Dynasty. The situation in Ming Dynasty was neither serious nor not serious. For example, in the eighth year of Wanli, smallpox broke out in Datong. Nine out of ten households were infected and died of the disease. A family of several people, once infected, had to leave the whole family. For example, in the ninth year of Wanli, plague broke out in Shaanxi. Everyone who was exposed died. Countless families were wiped out, and the city gates were blocked to prevent the disease, etc.

"From the four seas to the eight directions, reaching the ends of the sky and the earth, to bring the people to a long and healthy life, and to call for harmony in the world." Minister of Rites Wan Shihe once again repeated the goal that His Majesty had set for the Jiekuyuan when he established it.

It is now being realized step by step. If cowpox is really useful, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it will be a good deed for countless people.

Led by the judge Wu Lian, Sanniang walked into the dissection court, but did not see Pang Xian, only Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong.

The experiment on cowpox was actually nearing its end. As the chief physician of the Jiekui Hospital and a disciple of Li Shizhen, Pang Xian was very responsible for his experiment. After hundreds of animal experiments and many experiments on tortured prisoners in the Jiekui Hospital, Pang Xian conducted the experiment on himself. He inoculated the cowpox into his arm and is now in a fifteen-day observation period.

Therefore, Sanniang could not see Pang Xian.

"This is very dangerous." Sanniang said in disbelief, "There are many specimens in the Jiekuyuan. These people have committed heinous crimes and have already been sentenced to death by slow slicing. They are no longer worthy of being human. Why not use them for experiments?!"

"It has been verified. Doctor Pang just wanted to prove it to himself. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and collapsed due to a broken intestine. Ancient sages had the Tao. How can later generations of disciples bring shame to the sages? If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening." Li Shizhen said confidently: "And it has been verified on many disemboweled prisoners. There is no problem. In fact, it is not as dangerous as imagined."

It has been verified through animal experiments and human trials. Pang Xian's testimony was mainly for self-proving and to prevent accidents. Researching smallpox is a very dangerous thing. Only after being immune to smallpox can research continue.

"Okay." Sanniang spread her hands. As a senior medical officer with no worries about food and clothing, there was actually no need for her to work so hard. Perhaps, in the minds of these senior medical officers, there was also an afterlife, a world of harmony where there was no disease in the world.

The various decisions made by the Ming Emperor have begun to bear fruit. Once the seeds fall to the ground, they will take root, sprout, and grow into towering trees.

After the Ming Emperor recovered his health, he became busy again. When the imperial edict from the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office came asking for advice, Xu Wei did not have time to respond.

Because the Nagasaki Gyotosu and the Osaka Bay Defense Thousand Households had brought accurate news: Oda Nobunaga's retainer, Kuki Yoshitaka of the Kumano Navy, had led his entire navy out of Kumano Nada without any orders.

However, the report from the coastal defense inspector showed that Kuki Yoshitaka led the Kumano Navy not to fight Mori Terumoto, but went straight to Nagasaki, with the target being the Nagasaki Governor's Office!
Oda Nobunaga was furious, the navy was acting alone!

Kuki Yoshitaka was the most radical among Oda Nobunaga's retainers. When Oda Nobunaga was promoted from a lord of the world to a shogun, Kuki Yoshitaka had already expressed his dissatisfaction and returned to Noguma Beach. When Oda Nobunaga surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and signed the Seventeen Articles, Kuki Yoshitaka publicly stated after getting drunk that Oda Nobunaga was a traitor and a running dog of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, when Kuki Yoshitaka learned the news that the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office had further formulated a more stringent Silver-Sulfur Treaty, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office.

Li Chengli, the commander of the Nagasaki Military Command, said with a serious expression: "The Kumano Thirteenth Army led by Kuki Yoshitaka has a total of seven ironclad ships, which are six feet and three feet long and thirty feet and six feet wide. They are wide ships that can only sail in the near sea and rely on human power. There are 500 sailors on each ship, and a total of people on the seven ironclad ships."

"There are 530 other large and small ships, with a total of nearly 10,000 sailors, mainly equipped with long and short weapons, bows and arrows, and only a small number of firearms. They are coming in a menacing force."

"As far as hydrology is concerned, we don't know as much as the Japanese, so it's probably difficult to stop them from landing. This is the Japanese's advantage, mobility and geographical advantages. They know Kyushu better than we do."

"Our advantage is that we have a lot of firearms and a strong city to defend. We only need to hold the camps and forts around Nagasaki and wait for the Ming navy to come to our rescue."

It is extremely difficult to find enemy ships in the vast ocean. It is not something that the coastal defense patrols can search with manpower. The enemy will definitely land on Kyushu Island and then head towards Nagasaki. A major war is about to break out.

The response of Nagasaki Commander Li Chengli was actually the same tactics used by Portugal and Spain: defend the city with strong artillery and firearms, wait for reinforcements to arrive, shoot people in line, repel the enemy, and continue colonial rule.

This kind of tactic was very, very useful in the Age of Discovery. It was to bully the fact that you didn't have siege weapons. This tactic was very effective. The Ming Dynasty took advantage of the time, place and people, and it took two and a half years to completely take over the Strait of Malacca and establish the Governor's Office in Old Port.

The Nagasaki Fort and Nagasaki Castle were enough to sustain the Japanese navy for two and a half years.

"This is Oda Nobunaga's resistance, under the guise of the navy going alone." Xu Wei frowned and said, "You came just in time!"

(End of this chapter)
