Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 462
Edward, the Portuguese colonial leader in Macau, took more than 100 defeated soldiers and ran to Hong Kong for refuge. Because of this, he became ill and lay in bed for several days. He recovered from his illness in a week. After he stabilized, he became angry , of course he will not let it go with Daming.

He immediately left Hong Kong on a ship. This time he didn't look for Zheng Zhilong again, but returned to Lisbon in Europe to tell His Majesty the king, asking their kingdom, which fought against Portugal, to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Hongkui and Zeng De packed up the defeated soldiers and retreated to Guangzhou. They lost more than 2 troops in the first battle of Macau.A few more cities were lost.Hurry up and write to their Majesty Zheng Wang, and ask for help again.

At the same time, Wei Malang, the head of Taiwan of the Dutch East India Company, was also slapping the table. They suffered heavy losses in the first battle in the Zhoushan sea area. More than 60 merchant ships, plus 13 escorting warships, 1000 soldiers, and more than 400 merchants were almost wiped out.Only two wrecked ships and less than [-] sailors came back.

He waved his big fleshy fist, threatening to teach this man surnamed Lin a lesson.He immediately dispatched troops to bring back the main battleship Hector of the Dutch East India Company in Asia.

The Hector is a three-masted warship of the Dutch Navy in the 17th century. It has a length of 56.60 meters, a width of 10.5 meters, a draft of 5.1 meters, a crew of 341 sailors, and a displacement of 600 tons. However, in 1624, after the Netherlands invaded Taiwan in the Ming Dynasty, this warship was the main battleship of the Dutch occupation force and has been active in the East and South Seas of Asia.

According to the original historical development, this main battleship was showing off its power in the East Asian waters, and was finally sunk by the navy of the national hero Zheng Chenggong.

But in order to sink such a warship, Zheng Chenggong's navy also paid a heavy price for damaging more than 30 warships.

Now Wei Malang wants to use such a main battleship to form a fleet of more than 400 ships. He wants to use the strength of the entire East India Company to compete with Lin Yi's Daming Navy. Actively preparing for...

However, it is not only Zheng Zhilong, the king of Portugal, the Netherlands, and the Great Southern Empire, who is gnashing his teeth at Lin Yi at this time, but also a special force in the island country to the east - the Japanese ronin.

They were originally unofficial representatives and could only be regarded as martial arts figures.But this time, too, a government label was attached.Because the island government is unable to send troops, but they don't want to see a resurgent Ming Dynasty, so they can only support the opposition with all their strength, but seeing Zheng Zhilong's Great Southern Empire, retreating steadily and besieged on all sides, they are not the opponents of the Ming army at all. The army is not good, and the navy is also losing battles. They have no choice but to buy these ronin and set foot on the land of Ming Dynasty on behalf of the government...

After these hundreds of Japanese wanderers landed in Quanzhou, they were in a hurry, and were quickly taken into the post house. The three leaders were led into the imperial city of the Great Southern Empire.

The three walked steadily, with arrogance and confidence all over their faces, especially their unusually bright eyes. Zheng Zhilong met them personally.

The leader is a middle-aged ronin called Miyamoto Taro.This man's hair is tied up, like the women of later generations, but with a small braid tied up, stretching towards the sky.The small round face has a small black beard.He was dressed in loose black clothes, with a Toyo sword on his shoulders, and his eyes shone fiercely.

Behind Miyamoto are two young samurai closely following, a man and a woman.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Southern Empire."

After the three of them saw Zheng Zhilong, they bowed respectfully at 90 degrees.

Zheng Zhilong looked at these people, and finally his eyes fell on Miyamoto Taro, "Miyamoto-kun is not polite, I heard that Miyamoto-kun is a well-known master of swordsmanship, proficient in judo, island country kendo, and various Chinese martial arts. Today You can see, I also feel that Sansheng is lucky."

"Haha, Your Majesty appreciates it," Miyamoto Taro said politely, but his lips curled up. "If Your Majesty wants to see and learn, I will be willing to help."

Miyamoto Taro said, and began to introduce the two followers behind him to Zheng Zhilong and other ministers.These two are his apprentices, the man is in his 20s, and his name is Masao Ono.This person has regular facial features, a straight figure, a square face, and his facial features are engraved, and his emotions cannot be seen. His two eyes are shining brightly, and he is wearing a Japanese Japanese sword.

The most eye-catching among these hundreds of Japanese ronin, he was about to lose to the only female ronin.The woman's name is Tianchuan Makiko, who is just 20 years old this year.With a height of nearly 1 meters, her figure is more slender and upright, charming and pleasant. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is her beautiful facial features, which are comparable to ****.

However, the two eyes are like bright lights, amidst the beauty, the corners of the eyes and the brows are full of murderous looks. It can be seen that they are from the background of martial arts. There is no saber on their body, but a long sword.

When Taro Miyamoto introduced this female disciple, Zheng Zhilong and his ministers noticed that Miss Makiko had bright eyes, like two streams of autumn water, as if she was looking for someone.She looked all over Zheng Zhilong and their civil and military officials, and finally felt somewhat disappointed and puzzled, as if she hadn't found the person he was looking for.

These are the two most proud disciples of Miyamoto Taro. Miyamoto Taro has only been doing martial arts all his life. He is nearly 50 years old and looks only in his 30s. When he was young, he traveled between Nanyang and Dongyang in East Asia.Visit famous teachers and make friends with martial arts.I came to China 8 times and stayed on and off for 5 years. I officially opened a martial arts gym at the age of 30, and it has been nearly 20 years.His Hongkou military attache is well-known in the island country, and his peaches and plums are all over the world.This time he picked 200 of the best disciples, and then they were in the Japanese martial arts world.Another 600 Budo ronin were hired, and 800 warriors came to meet Zheng Zhilong with the wishes of the island government and the expectations of the Tagawa family and the Tokugawa shogunate.

After Taro Miyamoto introduced Makiko Tagawa, Zheng Zhilong remembered his past in Japan. His first wife was a woman from the Tagawa family named Tagawa Matsu. This Makiko Tagawa turned out to be from the Tagawa family. In terms of seniority, Makiko Tagawa had to call Zheng Zhilong uncle.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong recalled the experience in Japan in his early years with emotion, lamented the wastage of the sun and the moon, and the impermanence of life, and then felt a sense of family affection for these Japanese wanderers, especially Ms. Tagawa Makiko.

And this Zhen Jizi also looked at Zheng Zhilong differently, his grape-like eyes were shining with an unusual light, which contained a special emotion.

After Miyamoto finished his introduction, he bowed respectfully to Zheng Zhilong again: "Your Majesty, Miyamoto, with 800 warriors, is willing to serve His Majesty at any time. It is our honor and mission to serve Your Majesty's Great Southern Empire. "

Zheng Zhilong smiled, "Oh haha, it's rare that Mr. Miyamoto and all the warriors are so caring. I'm so relieved."

Zheng Zhilong said a few polite words, but he did have some disdain for hundreds of people.

Zheng Zhilong secretly thought, it's fine if General Tagawa and the Tokugawa shogunate don't want to send troops, what's the use of these seven or eight hundred ronin?It's not a competition in the arena, and this is not a river or lake. I, Zheng Zhilong, have 50 million elite soldiers. They have lost consecutive battles, lost cities and territories, and lost soldiers and generals. What can these hundreds of people achieve?
It may be that Miyamoto Taro saw Zheng Zhilong's disdain and disappointment, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, Miyamoto is not boasting, these eight hundred warriors can be worth tens of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, Your Majesty is interested in letting them serve as His Majesty Performing martial arts?"

Zheng Zhilong nodded after hearing this, and then led all the civil and military officials to the Jiaojun Field.

Under the command of Masao Ono himself, 800 Japanese ronin took off their gowns, put down their Japanese sabers, formed their own formation, and started unarmed combat with a single order to choose their opponents.

Don't look at their bare hands, these people are all strong and strong, with the shadow of Chinese martial arts in judo, their figures flash, their fists are like shooting stars, and they knock down their opponents to the ground in the blink of an eye.The opponent jumped up from the ground and continued to fight. They jumped up, eight or nine feet high, and fell down without a sound. There was a muffled thunder-like sound, and the marble floor tiles on the ground had been broken, which showed that they all had hard and soft kung fu.

Zheng Zhilong and the others were all horrified when they saw this, and gave bursts of applause from time to time, as expected, all of them had unique skills.

This Miyamoto Taro had a smug look on his face, but he just nodded slightly.

Then 800 people began to stage a collective sword dance, each pulling the fighting sword, the cold light was shining, this kind of Japanese sword is different, the blade is narrow and long, the handle is also long, the whole sword is nearly five feet long, and it is murderous in the hand.

Ono gave an order, and 800 people concentrated on practicing a set of sword skills. The light of the sword flickered, and the sound of whistling was as fierce as wind and as fast as lightning, with the momentum of thunder.

Zheng Zhilong is also an expert in martial arts. One can see that these people are not only powerful in boxing and kicking, but also have unique sword skills. Without more than ten years of practice, it is difficult to achieve such attainments.If these people go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they will definitely be a terrifying force.

Only then did Zheng Zhilong smile.

After the 800 Japanese ronin practiced, Zheng Zhilong and others thought it was over, but Miyamoto said, "Ono-kun?"

"Hi!" Commander Ono agreed, put down the Dongyang sword, and then bowed deeply to Zheng Zhilong and the ministers again, then stood still in the middle of the martial arts arena, and took off his shirt to be naked.

At this time, Miyamoto said to Zheng Zhilong: "Your Majesty, can I borrow a musket?"

Zheng Zhilong was startled, so he nodded, and soon his fifth younger brother Zheng Zhibao asked his men to bring a matchlock gun. Miyamoto aimed the gun at Onojang and lit the matchlock. Everyone was shocked, and the soldier didn't dare to point it. In the end, it was Makiko Tagawa who lit the match, and there was a puff of white smoke. The ministers under Zheng Zhilong were too timid to look at it and closed their eyes.

"Boom!" There was a loud explosion, and the bullet hit Ono's chest 50 meters away, but Ono was safe and sound...
