Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 717: A complete victory in the naval battle, pursuit of death and pursuit of the north, success in telling the story of merit, and internal response
  On March [-], Chen Mingde left more than [-] old and new warships to besiege Niudao and defend Chengshan Port. He took [-] new warships and [-] transport ships towards Hakata Port.

At the same time, the other two fleets of the Japanese Navy also encountered big trouble. Along the way behind the palace, more than a hundred warships were tightly entangled by more than a thousand warships of the North Korean navy.

The Japanese army was also helpless. The southern coastal area of ​​​​Korea was full of islands, harbors, and bays. I didn’t know where these North Korean navy warships were hiding in the corner before. I couldn’t find them when I wanted to fight them.

Now that the main force of the Japanese navy has withdrawn, the Korean navy immediately appeared. More than a hundred rear warships faced more than a thousand Korean warships.

Although the Korean warships are far inferior to the warships of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean Navy has more than [-] turtle ships. The turtle ships are built with an iron armored hull on the wooden house ships, specifically to restrain the Japanese navy and pirates. The tactic of climbing an enemy ship.

The North Korean navy just dragged the Japanese ships behind them, not trying hard anyway, and just harassed them back and forth.

The other Japanese army successfully crossed the Tsushima Strait and was about to enter Hakata Port.

Unfortunately, as they approached the port, they discovered that there were more than a hundred giant ships lying outside Hakata Bay.

From a distance, one can tell that these are huge ships with five to six thousand materials, and only the Ming Dynasty has a fleet of this size.

This Ming army had arrived long ago and did not take the initiative to attack. They just stayed here. Their mission is to prevent the Japanese Navy from returning to Hakata Port and wait for the main force of the Ming Navy to come to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Japanese Navy.

The Japanese army in Hakata Port wanted to support them. There were no ships out to sea, and the artillery on the shore could not reach the Ming army warships.

A strange confrontation began.

The Japanese navy had no choice but to retreat to the vicinity of Iki Island, just drifting on the sea and not daring to go to other ports.

Because the inshore defenses of other ports are not as complete as Hakata Port, once they are blocked by the Daming Navy, it will be over.

There is no choice but to float on the sea. This scene is somewhat familiar. Back then, the Great Yuan Navy was just floating on the sea, floating and disappearing.

On the second day of April, the confrontation ended, and Chen Mingde led the main force of the Ming Navy to the west of Yiqi Island.

The Korean navy and the Japanese rear fleet are north of Iki Island and south of Tsushima Island.

On the sea with a radius of [-] miles, there were more than [-] ships of various sizes, and it completely turned into a big melee.

It is definitely impossible to impose another blockade this time. As long as the Japanese naval warships are willing to disperse and escape, it will become a random running and chasing.

The first to lose control was the Japanese rear fleet. These people threw away the ships and took supplies to Tsushima Island.

The North Korean navy simply gave up the pursuit and suffered a big loss last time. There are mountains, water and dense forests on Tsushima Island, which stretches for about [-] miles from north to south. Three to four thousand people ran up and burrowed into the dense forest, even if the gods came, they would not be able to deal with it.

What's more, there were originally three to four thousand Japanese troops on Tsushima Island, and now they totaled six to seven thousand.

There is really no way to occupy Tsushima Island. Japanese invaders may emerge from the mountains at any time, and it will be uneasy to occupy it. The only way is to wait for the Muromachi shogunate to surrender before recruiting.

As soon as the main force of the Ming Dynasty Navy arrived, the remaining four hundred or so warships of the Japanese Navy had no choice but to disperse and escape.

If we don't separate, the target is too big. Facing the Ming Dynasty's new warships, we can't fight and fight, and we can't run and run. We will be finished.

If they run separately, there is still a chance of survival.

As a result, a naval battle quickly turned into a game of hide and seek. Three hundred Ming warships, more than a thousand Korean warships, and more than [-] Japanese warships pursued them.

One party runs around, and the two parties chase after each other.

The seventh day of April.

Zhu Qiyu hugged the two little cuties on the left and right, tenderly refusing to get up from the bed. Qianxue walked in from the outside happily, and congratulated Zhu Qiyu as soon as she entered the door: "Congratulations to your husband, congratulations to your husband, great joy, great joy, double happiness."

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Where does happiness come from?"

Qianxue smiled and said: "The first happy event is that the main force of the Japanese Navy went to attack Jeju Island. In the end, more than [-] warships were sunk.

The Japanese invaders were all trapped on Niu Dao and were fighting guerrillas. The main force of our Ming Navy has already set off to attack Hakata Port. "

Zhu Qiyu breathed a long sigh of relief: "It was a thrilling win. Fortunately, those people escaped to Niu Island. If they fled to Jeju Island, wouldn't Jeju Island be ruined?"

Asayuki said with a smile: "Thanks to Ashikaga Yoshimasa's wet nurse Konsen Bureau who conveyed the military information to Duke Anguo, Duke Anguo made up his mind and sent the main force of the navy back to Jeju Island."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Although Jin Shen Bureau has done a good job, I don't quite understand why she cooperates with us so much. Isn't it just as simple as collecting money to do things?"

Asayuki replied: "Didn't Ashikaga Yoshimasa get married to Hino Tomiko, and then Hino Tomiko started a palace fight with Konsenburo.

Konsenburo gave birth to a daughter for Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who was forcibly taken away by Hino Tomiko's cronies and secretly sent to the countryside to be raised. Not long after, the daughter died.

Are you willing to participate in the game now? I will risk my life for revenge. "

"Wait, wait, Imagination is Ashikaga Yoshimasa's wet nurse, but she gave birth to a daughter for Ashikaga Yoshimasa?"

Qianxue asked back: "Isn't it strange? Wan Zhen'er is equivalent to Brother Shen's nanny, why isn't she also accepted as his concubine?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I see, then I understand. The meaning of Jin Shenju is that if I don't live well, you can't be comfortable either.

I understand, if anyone dares to touch my daughter, I will kill him directly. "

Qianxue asked again: "In the past, we sent people to secretly lobby the Jinshen Bureau. Since her daughter's death, she has directly contacted An Guogong through lobbyists.

Anguo Gong's secret memorial mentioned that today's participation in the Bureau requires us to provide her with commitment and guarantee.

What kind of promise did the husband say he wanted to make? "

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Do even the powerful people in Japan believe my promise?"

"Of course, you can't even imagine how good your husband's credit is. In fact, the current situation is: anywhere in the world, as long as the sun shines, your husband's promise is good.

As long as the husband dares to promise, others will dare to believe it. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded proudly: "Then how far do you agree to it?"

Qianxue replied: "Why don't you give her a first-grade imperial edict? Ordinarily, she should be given a concubine like this, a certain holy lady. But she is not your nanny, and a certain holy lady is definitely not suitable.

How about a lady from a certain country? "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, the contribution she has made to us is really not small. One person is worth fifty thousand elite soldiers. Make an exception and give her the wife of Yingguo, a first-class royal title, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and countless treasures."

Qianxue nodded: "Another happy event, Ruan Xi and Gao Ping dug a copper mine in Dexing. Just as my husband said, it was a shallow giant copper mine, accompanied by gold and silver ores.

From now on, the imperial court will no longer be short of copper, and can freely mint copper coins. The currency reform that my husband has worked hard on for many years is about to succeed. "
