Win the Ding 1617

() Whenever the history of China goes to a pass, whether it is climbing or falling, there is always a dog at the door of the house. Even if we are brilliant, they will not forget to bark a few times to highlight their existence

Continue to brazenly ask for various tickets.

Listening to the faint sound of cannons coming from the sea, the rumbling bursts seemed to be beating on the hearts of the warriors.

However, the glory and dignity of the samurai require them not to show the slightest panic and fear. All the samurai stand with their arms crossed, their eyes wide open, and look into the distance. Trying to see the situation of the sea battle where the sea meets the sky through my own efforts.

In the cabin, Mr. Ono Gonzaemon or Mr. Kawayama Osamu Daisuke Kudaka, both white-haired and bearded, is already 64 years old.

This old and immortal guy was sent by Tadahiro Shimadzu, the lord of the Satsuma domain, to attack Ryukyu with 3000 troops as a general more than ten years ago.Captured Ryukyu Wang Shangning and more than 100 people returned to Satsuma.He also has an even more notorious descendant in Chinese history, Huashan Jiji. Commander of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the first Governor of Taiwan.

"If it looks like a temple, please use tea."

Picking up the folding fan placed between Shimadzu Mitsuhisa and him, he said that the tea has been brewed and is ready to drink.

Huashan Jiugao held the tea bowl with both hands, and handed it respectfully to Guangjiu who was about the same age as his grandson.

"Thank you Mino Mamoru." Mitsujiu took the tea and took a small sip.

The two of them brought a huge navy, (well, at least in the eyes of the Shimadzu family, it is huge. In fact, it is only four boats.) When they arrived in the waters of Annan, they did not come to drink tea, but to continue their ten-year journey. The glory many years ago came for the Shimadzu family to expand their power and territory.

Sipping tea in his mouth, Guangjiu was a little distracted.

"Master Meinongshou, I wonder how the battle between Nanman and An Nanming is progressing?"

Since more than ten years ago, under the instructions of the shogun, the Shimadzu family dispatched 3000 troops to capture Ryukyu, and obtained endless benefits for the Shimadzu family. For the Shimadzu family, they are already very satisfied.

However, since last year, those Ryukyu people who bowed their heads and offered them sugar cane grown in the fields and the first-pressed cane sugar suddenly became less obedient.The amount of sugar cane and sucrose turned over is also insufficient.From the Ryukyu population who tended to the Shimadzu family, they heard a shocking news.

"The Ryukyu King cooperates with the generals stationed in Annan of the Ming Dynasty to exchange sugar cane for rice!"

Huashan Jiugao's long eyebrows trembled, it was no longer gray beard and hair, it was completely white now.If it wasn't for the benefit of his own family, he would not have come to attack the Ming people in Annan with the young master from Satsuma, Kyushu, and the southern barbarians at the age of 64.

"Ruo Dianxiang, in the Ming Dynasty's Art of War classics, there are many tactics such as Bianzhuang stabbing the tiger, taking advantage of the fire and looting, etc. It talks about judging the situation and investing your own troops at the most appropriate time to obtain the greatest benefit."

Kawayama Kudaka's words, although few, have clearly explained the way of life of several generations of the Shimadzu family.Yes, at the most opportune time, choose to stand in line to obtain the greatest benefits for yourself.

From the beginning of the Kamakura era, step by step to the present, almost unified the foreign daimyo of Kyushu, the painstaking efforts of many generations, is it not based on this principle?Only in this chaotic world of the Warring States period can they survive, develop, and grow stronger? !

"We'll just wait here for the news ahead."

Neither of them spoke, and continued drinking tea.

Kawayama Kudaka and Shimadzu Mitsuhisa did not dare to easily put these four ships into the situation where the situation is not yet clear. The two sides are in a bloody naval battle. This is a fleet loaded with 800 people, although most of them are conscripted farmers and soldiers , with a spear in his hand, less than [-]% of the iron artillery, and even less samurai, no more than dozens of them.But there are also ten Guobeng bought from the Portuguese on each ship, which are ten times more powerful than the large cylinders made by the Shimadzu family themselves, the real original Nanban.

For the sake of the collapse of the Forty Gates, the Shimadzu family forced the natives in Ryukyu to destroy the rice fields and replant sugar cane, and use the harvested sugar cane to extract sugar for trade with the Portuguese.In the Amami Islands and Ryukyu Main Island, many natives starved to death.

Similarly, if it wasn't for protecting the interests of the Shimadzu family and his own family in Ryukyu, why would he come here?

If the palace came here under the order of the lord, it was just to open up the territory and accumulate prestige. If there was a mistake, how would he face the lord?I'm afraid it can be redeemed by pleading guilty.

"Minomori-sama! Minomori-sama!"

There was a rush of clogs, accompanied by the eager cries of the samurai who went to inquire about the news, finally the two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, there was news ahead!We can make a decision!

Regardless of watching the samurai who inquired about the news kneel down and salute, both of them hurriedly wanted to get the situation ahead from him.

"Quick! How about casualties on both sides?"

"Ruo Dianyang! Master Mino Mamoru!" The samurai who went to investigate the situation on the battlefield wiped the sea water or sweat from his face, and his face was full of complex expressions of excitement and confusion.

"From my subordinate's point of view, I lost! I must have lost!"

The surface of the sea was already full of corpses, trying to get close to the Nanzhong Army fleet, and the small boats that carried out fire attacks and jumped gangs were helplessly swaying under the caress of the sea water.

Shou Han put away the clairvoyance in his hand, feeling a little lonely, "Send a signal, all press on, the target, the big ship of the Ruan family!" Turning around and returning to his cabin, the outcome, at this moment, is no longer a suspense.As the commander-in-chief, in this era of confrontation with cannons, it seems that he does not need to take the lead in fighting in naval battles, so why should I waste time here watching the battle?Instead of staying here and making the people on the ship have to spend their minds and manpower to protect me, it's better to go back and do other things, and it can also make people feel like the masts and sculls are wiped out while talking and laughing .

"Brothers, fight well! Let the monkeys of the Ruan family see how to fight at sea!" Li Shouhan went back to fiddle with his blueprints, Xu Huanshan heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly, ordering the semaphore soldiers to signal and the whole army to turn the rudder , to besiege the big boat of the Ruan family.

It's like training soldiers!After the three rounds of shelling just now, the confidence of the sailors has greatly increased!It turns out that dealing with monkeys is much easier than training them!

As long as you complete the procedures of loading, aiming, launching, cleaning, resetting, etc. according to the action essentials and requirements during the maneuver, and under the command of the gunner, then reload, ignite, and launch, that's it.

The Ruan family's navy who lost the boat is like a good young woman without scissors in her hand, pitifully exposed to the majesty of a group of sea hooligans. The commander of the Ruan family's navy, He Wen'e, trembled all over. The scene of the massacre of the sailors in the boat was clearly seen, and he was so shocked that his hands and feet were cold and he was at a loss.

"My lord! My lord! Fulang robot! The warship of Fulang robot!" The officer next to him reminded him with a word, ah!Although we can't do it, we would rather surrender to the European knights than board your Ming people's boat!

"Quick! Get the gunboat of the Frang robot to come up to support!"

Facing the majesty of the villains at sea, the young woman of the Ruan family hoped that the noble Portuguese knight would step forward and come to Annan's version of the hero at sea to save the beauty.

Even if it's a body promise afterwards, oh no, more gold, silver, pearls and jade are fine in return!

As a result, more than a hundred Ruan family warships hid pitifully behind the two Portuguese gunboats, waiting for the Portuguese to show their might and repel the dozen gunboats of sea villains in front of them.

However, a villain is a villain, and he has no chivalry spirit at all. Facing the awe-inspiring righteousness of the knights of the Spanish Empire, the navy of the South China Army did not have the courage to confront them head-on.Instead, they went in circles from afar.

"There was a flash of red light in the distance, and then there was a burst of white smoke. The smoke was very light and small, and was quickly blown away by the sea breeze. Sailors all know that the ship in the middle of the fleet The largest ship fired a shot at our fleet. This shot seemed to be a signal. All the artillery facing our South China Army fleet began to tilt their shells and gunpowder towards us. At that moment, it seemed to be Like the eruption of a volcano on the Iberian Peninsula. I am grateful to the Virgin Mary for protecting me with her merciful light during the bombardment and protecting me from harm."

In a letter to his family, Thiago, the sailor of the Portuguese gunboat Goddess, thanked the Virgin Mary gratefully.He also stated in the letter that he was living well in the prison camp, and that the captured officers were contacting the monarch here, a young general, to try to get his forgiveness.

The South China Army did not rush into the formation of the Ruan family and the Portuguese Navy, but circled around their formation from a distance, getting closer and closer, and then, under the unified command of the flagship, headed towards The broadsides of the enemy all fired.The shells pushed out of the barrel by the anger of the gunpowder vented the anger of being driven out of the house on the ship boards that blocked its progress.

The wooden boards pierced by the shells flew around in the small space of the cabin like sharp knives, acting as accomplices of the shells. The sailors and gunners who were stabbed by these wooden flying knives screamed while holding their wounds. The cabin smelled of gunpowder mixed with blood.

Those gunners with dark minds lowered the muzzle slightly. After more than a dozen cannons were ejected, they rushed straight to the waterline of the Portuguese gunboat!Cannonball, the unwelcome guest, not only came uninvited, but also dragged the sea water into other people's space.

However, the Portuguese were able to navigate the sea for more than a hundred years and became the first batch of maritime empires. This maritime ability is not in vain. After the first cannon was fired, the Portuguese commander also ordered, "Fire!" As a result, the shells met each other in mid-air, leaving hot ballistic trajectories in the air that could be seen by the naked eye.

Besieged by more than a dozen hooligans, the two Portuguese knights only lasted for less than 10 minutes, and sadly found that their cabins were flooded!A Portuguese boat began to sink slowly.

Looking at the burning sails, the masts lying on the deck, the cannons being staggered by the dense shells, and the moaning sailors, the commander shook his head in a gentlemanly manner, " Hoist the white flag, let down the sails, drop the anchor. We surrender."

"Spineless thing!" Xu Huanshan, who was in the command position of the Fubo, curled his lips and sneered twice, "Go to the Liangjia people, and let me control the people and the ship!"

Chu Dalei, the captain of the Dingyuan ship, also frowned, looked at the semaphore from the Fubo, "Let us make way for the small boats behind, and let them go up to deal with the Ruan family's navy? Playing semaphore! Ask why?! You guys haven’t had fun fighting yet! Why give way to those civilian boats behind?!”

Having said that, the order must be carried out, and the Dingyuan ship reluctantly stepped aside, watching the civilian ships that were nearly half the size of its own ship pass by.

"My lord! Look!" The sharp-eyed gunner pointed to a wooden frame covered with a huge canvas thatch on the boat. "It seems to be the same as ours!"

"Damn it! Don't we have it on our boat? I've been to Luzon with my lord anyway, so playing with this thing, isn't it better than a group of fishing boats?! Playing semaphore! I'm going to find Xu Dahu, a bastard, so I can tell him apart! "

He Wen'e looked at the Nanzhong second-line battle fleet, which was almost the same as his own, slowly forming formation under his nose under the cover of the Gale Ship and the Wind Hunter. That posture was like a child backed by an adult Ready to throw shit in your yard.

"The Nanzhong Army wants these ordinary people to deal with us? Isn't that a little too contemptuous!?" He Wen'e searched his brains to figure out what kind of tactic this was, while complaining with some dissatisfaction.

Instead, the officer next to him reminded him, "My lord, the Nanzhong Army has always been cunning and full of tricks. We have already suffered a big loss. We must beware of these civilian ships being fraudulent!"

One sentence awakened the dreamer. Later, in the He family's ancestral hall, there was always an unnamed benefactor tablet next to He Wen'e, receiving incense offerings from the He family.

"Quick! Order the fleet, move forward, and confront these enemy ships! We, we, let's turn first!"

How is this going?Suspicious Portuguese?Obviously these Chinese have an absolute advantage, why not use the big boat to chase after the victory and send the Annan people to feed the fish?Could it be that the shells have run out?Not like it?

He Wen'e shouted loudly: "Give the order, just say that the big ship of the South China Army has run out of shells, and now it has to rely on the small boat. The children rush up, and the reward will be doubled!"

Hearing this in Huashan Jiugao, more than ten nautical miles away, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at the samurai who was talking about the military situation at his feet, "Be timid to fight before the battle, lie about the military situation, cut!"

The samurai was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "Lord Meinongshou, I did see this from the edge of the battlefield! Those Ming pirate ships flying the Li character flag have already begun to retreat, and the Ruan family is indeed doomed!"

"Then tell me! What's wrong with the Ming people? Obviously the southern barbarians have surrendered, and they should use the big ships to take advantage of the victory to pursue them. Why did they send small boats forward when the big ships stopped? Could it be that the Ming people's kingdom collapsed? Is there no Guobengyu? You are wrong, the old man's sharp sword will kill you immediately!"

On the mat made of rush grass, an unknown liquid slowly diffused around the warrior, "Lord Mino Mamoru, this is what this subject saw."

Sea of ​​fire!A sea of ​​fire!

He Wen'e, who was at the back of the fleet, had only this word in his mind to describe the scene in front of him.
