The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 336 Ming people dare not come out (ask for a monthly ticket)

When Ding Yi came over, a total of 73 ships came, and then Ruan Siqing took away eight ships, and there are still 65 ships at the entrance of the alley.

Ding Yi asked Xilaojing, monk Kexi and others, if the Japanese navy invaded in a large scale, it would be two hundred warships, how should they fight?
He is good at defensive battles, but he is not good at sea battles, and he is not full of energy. The reason why he has such great confidence is because he has a secret weapon across the ages, "fuze shells", a sharp weapon for fighting warships.

When Shang Kexi was on Phi Island, he was stationed on small overseas islands. He was good at water warfare.

Xi Laojing immediately smiled and said: "Master Ding values ​​​​the navy very much. We can say that the cannons on our ship are more than those on the same warships of the Ming army. In the face of powerful firepower, naval battles will become very simple. "

Xi Laojing is very confident, because Ding Yi's ships generally have more guns.

Ding Yi Ship has warships and merchant ships, but the merchant ships also have cannons.

Most of them are between 42 and [-]. There is also one merchant ship of [-], and three ships of [-]. On the merchant ship of [-], Ding Yi put [-] cannons. It is very rare on the military and navy divisions.

Only battleships above Tier [-] in Europe will surpass Ding Yi's ship.

Shang Kexi said: "That's not what I said, I'm afraid that the other party will have too many boats, so I can use the technique of ant possession."

"For example, use a lot of small boats, fill them with flammable materials such as thatch kerosene, and when they get close, they will suddenly ignite and rush up. No amount of guns will be effective."

"During naval battles, this method can also be used. It takes a while for a cannon to fire. If a small boat is attacked by fire, it is really difficult to defend."

Zheng Zhilong also used this method to defeat the Dutch in the Liaoluo Bay naval battle that took place this year.

When Xi Lao heard it, his face changed slightly, and finally he dared not underestimate Shang Kexi.

Everyone discussed it, and felt that the only way for the Japanese to defeat the Ming army on the sea was to attack with fire. If they were to compete with artillery, no matter in terms of range, power or quantity, it would not work.

Judging from the news from Tian Chuan, after the coalition naval forces assembled, they may attack the Ming army from Shimonoseki, via Mashima, and go north.

Because most of the Japanese navy is currently in the waters around Hiroshima Prefecture, and a small number of naval forces in Nagasaki are too far away. It will take at least a few days longer to wait for the Nagasaki Navy to come.

This road is full of flat seas. After discussion, several people decided to focus on the customers and attack them head-on.

If you don't take the initiative to attack, park the warships in the port, and when the coalition navy arrives, the coalition forces can calmly arrange tactics, with the small boats in front and the big ships behind, which is conducive to their fire attack.

In the process of driving, generally the big ship is in front and the small boat is behind, which is conducive to Ding Yi's surprise attack.

Therefore, Ding Yi, Xi Laojing, Shang Kexi and others quickly decided to attack the Japanese navy on the way.

But they need to know when the Japanese navy will come.

On September 9, all ships of the Ming army came to Takashima opposite Hamada County and Yitian County.

After arriving at Takashima, Shang Kexi will bring the fastest fast boat (sent by Yuhuang Tianchuan) to the vicinity of Jiaodao.

Before Shang Kexi left, he found Ding Yi and said that he suddenly thought of the battle of destroying the country in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yashan sea battle.

At that time, Zhang Shijie of the Song Army connected all the warships together and smeared mud on the hull to prevent the Yuan army from attacking.

Later, the Yuan army really used small boats to attack with fire, but to no avail.

Ding Yi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered all the boats to dig mud around Gaodao and smear it on the boat.

On the afternoon of the 29th, Shang Kexi took the Clippers to Jiaodao.

Shang Kexi took the boat to swim between Nan Island and Jiao Island every day, while Ding Yi waited for the mud to dry before wiping it off. He repeated this every day, tirelessly, until seven or eight o'clock in the morning on October 10.

Shang Kexi's subordinate Xu Erxian exclaimed: "Here we come, we come."

Shang Kexi hurriedly raised the binoculars, and at the same time ordered to turn the bow of the ship.

On the sea, on the horizon in the distance, a black shadow grew bigger and bigger. A moment later, a black Japanese warship appeared in his sight.

"Nunniang, there are so many." Shang Kexi also exclaimed.

Tian Chuan said that there were at least two hundred ships, Shang Kexi looked back, and boldly approached to the side, the more he looked, the more frightened he was, at least three hundred were medium-sized warships, basically two hundred to five hundred In between, more than 400 small boats followed, adding up to seven or eight hundred.

Sure enough, as he expected, the coalition navy probably wanted to use fire to attack.

"Let's go." Shang Kexi took a rough look, immediately turned the bow of the boat, and ran back like flying.

His ship was sent by Tianchuan Yuhuang, it was just to cruise around, observe the enemy's situation in advance and send information, and it ran fast.

Soon, he left the behind behind and flew back to Takashima.

To go to Shimane County, you must pass through Takashima, where the Ming army navy and all the ships are here, and there are another thousand firecrackers on each ship.

Within two hours after Shang Kexi came back, a black shadow appeared in the distance.

The mighty coalition navy gathered nearly one-third of Japan's navy ships in more than half a month, and mobilized the navy ships and soldiers of more than a dozen big family lords.

A total of 312 warships of various types, 389 small boats, and a total force of 14800.

The person in charge of leading the army this time is one of Tokugawa Iemitsu's six members, Miura Shoji.

Miura Shoji was the first vassal lord of the Mibu domain of the Shimotsu country. He was just named "Wakenyori" this year and was an important member of the shogunate.

At this time, he was also standing at the bow of the ship, full of vigor, it must be the first time that he commanded so many sailors.

Originally, the shogunate planned to gather more than a thousand warships to sink the Ming army's navy in one fell swoop with the force of thunder.

But recently there have been many rumors in the country, indicating that the people are targeting the shogunate and have nothing to do with the other daimyo lords. If the ship is sunk after participating in the war, the shogunate cannot afford to pay.

This caused many daimyos and feudal lords to refuse to send out boats and people, and it took more than half a month to gather so many boats.

There are still more ships in a relatively distant place, and if they need to assemble, it will take longer. Miura Shoji can't wait anymore. He feels that so many ships are enough to wipe out the Ming army in one fell swoop.

When the Ming people are eliminated in this battle, those disobedient daimyos must be taught a lesson.

Especially the richest Yousongpu family, who deliberately colluded with the Ming people and took my silver, must be punished.

His idea was the same as Ota Zizong's, he dealt with Mingren first, and then dealt with Matsupo.

Right now, the master is named Wuming, and I'm afraid that it will be interesting to other daimyos. After defeating Mingren and arresting Mingren to testify against Songpu, that old bastard will have nothing to say.

"My lord, Takashima is ahead." Someone reminded him at this time.

"Hmm..." Masaji Miura didn't mean anything, he hummed for a long time, and looked at his subordinates dissatisfiedly. He was thinking about a problem, but was interrupted.

The man didn't know what to do, so he immediately said: "Should we send a fast boat to see first, I'm afraid there will be an ambush in the Ming Dynasty."

"I just reported earlier that I found the Mingren Clippers."

This Tokugawa Iemitsu had just succeeded to the throne, and his mistake was that he liked to use his own people and didn't trust other daimyos and generals.

Miura Shoji was not born in the navy, so how could he lead the navy.

He immediately shouted: "I have gathered the whole country's navy and thousands of warships. Are you afraid that Ming people will attack?"

The subordinates were speechless and had to retreat.

Immediately, there were villains flattering all around: "Ming Ming is afraid to stay in the alley at this moment and dare not come out, hahaha."

"Where the Lord's soldiers and horses go, he will win a big victory. Long live the general."

"Long live." Four weeks shouted.

Miura Zhengji showed a proud face, and everyone was calling Long Live the General, which is very good.
