Chapter 169 Wa country, my grandson is here.

On the coast, the chaotic scene imagined by the Japanese pirates did not appear.

In front of the huge bonfire, groups of soldiers lined up neatly, aiming at them with a strange weapon.

Although these soldiers were wearing navy uniforms, they were neatly formed, and they didn't have the lazy look of the navy at all.

"Damn it, it's the Shenji Battalion, we were deceived."

Perhaps in the past, not many people in the Shenji Camp knew about it.

Compared to the other two camps, the existence of the Shenji Camp is really weak.

Not to mention that their numbers are smaller than the other two battalions, and they haven't made any well-known achievements.

So if you don't have a special understanding of the imperial army system, many people really don't know much about this army.

But last year, the Northern Expedition fought.

The Shenji Camp became famous all over the world.

Neat queues, dense gunfire, tyrannical artillery.

Shenjiying Leng relied on the tactics of artillery, bombardment, rifle salvo, bayonet and three-axe charge, and the Oirat cavalry had no temper at all.

World War I last year.

The Northern Expedition army beheaded more than 1 heads, of which more than [-] heads belonged to the Shenji Battalion.

With this battle, Shenjiying became famous all over the world.

At the same time, many people also knew that the tube-shaped weapon in Shenjiying's hands was called a flintlock gun.

Once an army becomes famous all over the world.

When fighting against others, the enemy will be intimidated by his prestige and timid before fighting.

When they first heard that the Shenji Battalion was also going south, many Japanese pirates were very panicked, for fear of running into this world-famous army.

But later when they learned that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were not used to taking sea boats and caused a large number of soldiers to get seasick and had to start from the inland instead of sea and land, many Japanese pirates breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they set off today, their leaders told them that the main enemy they faced today was the Marine Corps composed of members of the Navy and a group of recruits.

Moreover, the marines of these new recruits are not equipped with many firearms, so there is no need to be afraid at all.

But the scene in front of him is not a shitty Marine Corps.

Look at the uniform gun barrels in the neat queue, and the flying banner of the gods.

Anyone who is not a fool understands that they have been cheated.

It was only at this time that some Japanese pirate captains remembered that they had heard that some of the soldiers in the Shenji Battalion were transferred from the navy.

Fucking Navy sick ship.

It was obvious that they had been scammed.

"Run, they are the Shenji Battalion!"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

When the pirates learned that the army waiting for them on the opposite side was the Shenji Battalion, the gang of pirates immediately frightened and turned around to board the boat and run away.

But the Japanese pirates behind didn't know what was going on ahead, and kept rushing forward.

This caused the people in front to want to retreat, and the people behind wanted to move forward.

Unable to advance or retreat, everyone was crowded on the beach.

"Fire!"

Looking at the Japanese pirates crowded on the beach, Zhang Xian, the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion in charge of commanding the battle, gave the order to start the war.

"Fire in the first row!"

The combat order was issued, and the commander of the 1st platoon waved down the knife in his hand without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang..."

As the most elite unit of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have a very strong obedience ability.

Following the officer's order, the soldiers in the first platoon, who had already aimed at it, pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Second row forward, aim and shoot!"

After the first row of soldiers finished shooting, they loaded the ammunition directly on the spot.

The soldiers in the second row stepped forward and stood in front of the first row.

Raise the gun, aim and shoot, all in one go.

"Bang bang bang..."

Only a few breaths before and after, the second row of gunfire sounded again.

"Puff puff…"

The Japanese pirates crowded on the beach are like harvested wheat.

Every time a round of gunshots sounded, countless Japanese pirates screamed and fell to the beach and sea water.

"Second row forward, aim and shoot!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Gunshots kept ringing, and screams continued.

This time, more than 1 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion who came to play the role of the navy surrounded the entire beach from three and a half sides.

The Japanese pirates crowded on the pier beach were continuously shot and killed by bullets from three directions.

Some escaped onto the boat, but because of the battle exploits just now, many boats rushed directly to the shallows, causing a large number of boats to run aground directly.

It is not an easy thing to push a stranded ship back.

What's more, there are still a lot of traffic behind, and the ship cannot move forward or retreat.

"Damn, fight with them!"

Seeing that they could not escape, the Japanese pirates who were killed screamed in despair and charged towards the Shenji Camp.

"Fire!"

The artillerymen who had been prepared for a long time saw the enemy rushing up, pushed the artillery out of the infantry line, and roared angrily at the Japanese pirates rushing densely.

Due to the close combat this time, the artillerymen were not equipped with live ammunition and flowering ammunition, but directly loaded with shotgun.

30 light artillery pieces fired continuously, directly blasting the Japanese pirates who rushed up to the heart.

Shotguns are called iron brooms by artillerymen.

Within a distance of 50 steps, once this thing fires, it will almost wipe out a large area in front of it.

Thirty artillery pieces fired one after another, directly blasting thousands of Japanese pirates who launched the charge into rivers of blood.

The bloody water of minced meat and limbs turned into a stream along the slope and flowed into the sea.

"Damn it, you've been fooled, get out quickly!"

The Sea Urchin King, who was observing the battlefield from the boat, knew he had been fooled the moment the Shenji Battalion opened fire.

So he ordered the retreat without saying a word.

As for the Japanese pirates on the shore, it's none of his business. If they die, they will die. At worst, they will be recruited later.

"woo woo woo woo…"

Just as the Japanese pirates were desperately turning the boat around to prepare to escape, the guard boat at the rear suddenly sounded a horn to remind them.

"what happened!"

The sea urchin king opened his eyes and looked back desperately, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see anything.

"Ships, warships, are the warships of the Daming Navy. There are many, at least 30!"

After a while, a small boat rowed over, shouting to remind the situation behind.

"Damn, it's over!"

Hearing that the navy's warships appeared in the rear, and the number of the navy's warships was about the same as what they had learned, the Sea Urchin King slumped on the boat and looked at the sky in despair.

Being stopped in front and blocked in the back, they had absolutely no chance of escaping.

The location where the Daming Navy Pier is located is a semicircular gap.

There are shallow coasts on both sides, and there is only a deep channel to the sea in the middle.

Just now I saw that the ships of the navy were on fire, so in order to increase the attack as much as possible, almost all the ships entered the dock area.

The Ming Navy was blocked at the exit, and the Japanese pirates had no hope of escape unless they gave up the big ship and escaped with a small boat.

"Not good, there are countless small boats in the north!"

Just when the sea urchin king was thinking about abandoning the big ship and using a small boat to escape first, he suddenly shouted again.

The sea urchin king subconsciously looked to the north, and saw countless flames coming from the north.

He stared and saw countless small boats filled with soldiers holding torches, approaching quickly.

"There are also in the South!"

Another heart-piercing shout sounded.

The sea urchin king looked to the south, and saw countless boats with lights floating from the south.

Under the reflection of the fire, countless guard soldiers were rowing boats with their weapons in hand, shouting excitedly.

"It's really over this time!"

The sea urchin king passed out as soon as he closed his eyes.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Before the sea urchin king lost consciousness, he vaguely heard a muffled thunder.

He understood that it was not thunder, but the navy blocking the way from the rear, and it was launching an attack.

The sea urchin king guessed right.

The navy blocking the way officially launched an attack when the small boats on the left and right blocked the way of the Japanese pirates.

The warships lined up at the exit of the pier, and fired fierce shots with the artillery that had been set at an angle.

Countless scorching fireballs pierced the air and made a sharp whistling sound, and smashed hard on the crowded Japanese warships.

Screams, explosions, flames, straight into the sky.

The battle lasted for an hour before slowly stopping.

During this period, Zhu Zhangui sat on the high platform, eating his birthday banquet and watching the dance performance.

That way, it's as if he's not here to participate in the battle, or to have a feast.

After the battle, because it was too dark, the officers did not order to clean up the battlefield, but asked the soldiers to put out the burning fireboat first.

Then leave the staff on duty, and the others continue to come back to eat meat and drink, and continue to celebrate Zhu Zhangui's birthday.

The laughter and laughter did not end until the flaming sun in the east rose from the sea.

After dancing all night, the dancers who were almost exhausted and paralyzed left. Accompanied by a group of generals, Zhu Zhangui stood by the beach and watched the soldiers clean up the battlefield on the sea.

The fiery sun shone on the sea, and the entire sea was full of floating corpses.

The bright red blood dyed the entire sea red.

Soldiers from the guard station used small boats to salvage the dead bodies from the sea.

If they came across someone who was not dead, or a wounded person lying on the broken plank moaning, they would stab them without hesitation.

Taisun has already ordered that no prisoners should be taken in this battle.

The guard soldiers who also wanted to make a fortune in battle were not polite, they just stabbed one by one.

Standing on the beach, Zhu Zhangui looked at the densely packed corpses pushed to the shore by the waves, smelled the bloody smell from the sea breeze, and stretched comfortably.

"What about our casualties!"

Li Hu stood up first.

In the military, seniority is also ranked in addition to meritorious service. In addition, Li Hu's position is the highest in the field, so the first to report is the navy.

"Returning to Your Highness, because the navy is shooting from a long range, no soldiers died, only a few soldiers suffered a little scratches when they were carrying and loading the shells."

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly, and looked at Jiang Huai who was waiting beside him.

"His Royal Highness, 8 people were killed in the Shenji Battalion, all of them died from the opponent's bow and arrow, and 56 people were injured, 23 of whom were seriously injured, and have been sent for rescue. The military medical officer reported just now, except for two people. After being rescued, the others have turned the corner, so this time I managed to attack 10 people and injured 54 people!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

There are bound to be casualties in the war.

Although last night's battle was fully suppressed by my side, the enemy is not a toothless tiger.

They also carried long-range weapons on their bodies. Although they were unable to hold their heads up under the volley of the Shenji Battalion, a few were lucky enough to launch an attack on the Shenji Battalion.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the guard officer who came to assist this time.

In this battle, Zhu Zhangui also mobilized troops from the two guards of Quanzhou Guard and Zhangzhou Guard.

Their main task is to assist the navy to block the entire sea and the coastline to prevent Japanese pirates from entering from other places.

With such a long coastline, Zhu Zhangui is not sure if the Japanese pirates will open their minds and launch attacks from other places.

Due to insufficient manpower, Zhu Zhangui mobilized the soldiers and horses of the two government guards to defend the long coast.

In fact, Zhu Zhangui handed over the task of blocking the sea at the beginning to the Marine Corps.

As a result, the two government guard officers knelt down and begged, hoping to participate in this battle.

Zhu Zhangui thought that he couldn't let people come here for nothing, so he waved his flag and shouted, and asked them to withdraw some elites to help the navy block the sea.

And now those who salvage the corpses on the sea are the elites of these two guards.

"Return to Your Highness, 20 people died on our side, and more than 80 people were injured!"

"Among them, the biggest cause of death was that the Japanese pirates collided with our side when fleeing in a small boat, and the boat capsized and the soldiers fell into the sea!"

"Most of the injured were minor wounds when fighting the enemy. There were only five seriously injured, and they were sent to the military medical battalion for rescue. They are out of danger and are recuperating!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly.

"I will report your achievements truthfully. Next, I will lead the navy to attack the Japanese pirates' lair. You and the Shenji camp will stay here to clean up the battlefield and appease the surrounding people!"

"As ordered!"

The two guard officers had beaming expressions on their faces, and they clasped their fists excitedly.

This battle wiped out more than 1 Japanese pirates, and it can be said to be the biggest battle in the south after Jing Nan.

To get a little credit in this battle is to add a lot to one's qualifications.

Not to mention the emperor's reward.

It is very possible to go up to another liter when the next year's assessment.

They were very thankful in their hearts that some time ago, in order to participate in this battle, they had the cheek to kneel there and pray.

Otherwise, according to the original plan, they would at most get some credit for shouting and cheering, let alone a promotion, and they might be done with a verbal commendation.

The task of sorting out the wharf was handed over to Jianghuai and the officers and soldiers of the guard.

Zhu Zhangui boarded the navy's warship, took the marines who were on standby, and headed for the Japanese pirates' dens that had already been investigated.

The Japanese pirates den who were still waiting for the news of the victory did not get the news of the victory, and instead were directly ridden on the door by the navy and beat them up.

A Japanese pirate den guarded by only a thousand people is no match for the navy.

With the assistance of artillery fire, the Marine Corps took down the Japanese pirates' den in just one round of assault.

Four Japanese pirates' dens were wiped out in a row. In addition to seizing a large amount of money, Zhu Zhangui also got what he wanted.

Looking at the ledger in his hand and the letter from the Japanese pirates contacting the shore, Zhu Zhangui showed a satisfied smile.

These sea merchants are all wealthy households, so many people ransacked their homes, at least tens of millions of taels of silver.

After completely solving the problem of Japanese pirates in the coastal area, Zhu Zhangui wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital in a hurry.

The old man only gave him the task of exterminating Japanese pirates and water thieves. Things like ransacking homes and arresting people are not within his scope of authority.

Besides, he is still going to do some renovations, so he is going to play the role of a pirate and go to Xiaotian's house. How can he have so much time to do these things.

Jingshi replied very quickly.

Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang accompanied the imperial historian Zhang Xuan, and came directly to arrest people with the imperial decree.

The maritime merchants in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang fell into a catastrophe.

A large number of Jinyi guards rushed into the luxuriously decorated mansion, and while the women were screaming and the guards were terrified, they captured everyone and sealed off the entire mansion.

Yongle 13 years of historical records.

On March 3, His Royal Highness Taisun used tricks to lure the Japanese pirates out of their nests. After a night of hard work, they wiped out most of the Japanese pirates in the coastal area at the Quanzhou Wharf.

Then he personally led the army to completely destroy the Japanese pirates' lair, and solved the Japanese pirates' trouble in the Daming sea area in one fell swoop.

At the same time, in the Japanese pirates' lair, many evidences of collusion between businessmen and Japanese pirates were found.

His Majesty learned that Long Yan was furious.

It was ordered that all those traitors who colluded with Japanese pirates and harmed the people of Ming Dynasty would be severely punished by ransacking their homes.

In this move, a total of hundreds of people who colluded with the Japanese pirates were arrested, and tens of thousands of family members were implicated and arrested.

After the Ministry of Criminal Justice interrogated and investigated Jin Yiwei, the first criminal who colluded with Japanese pirates was sentenced to beheading and his family property was confiscated.

The male members of the prisoner's family sent slaves to serve as slaves in Gandusi, while the females served as slaves in Jiaofangsi.

The Chief Political Envoy of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian were arrested and imprisoned for crimes such as incompetent management of the local area, corruption and bribery, and thousands of officials were implicated.

For these corrupt officials who are benevolent and corrupt, according to Zhu Di's order, they will be killed without mercy.

The two chief envoys were even sentenced to Lingchi.

Of course, there are those who are dismissed and those who are promoted.

Because of his meritorious service in reporting and assisting Taisun in suppressing thieves, the prefect of Ningbo was recommended by His Royal Highness Taisun and assessed by the Ministry of Officials, and was officially promoted to the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The old man was promoted several levels in a row, weeping with joy, and at the same time completely labeled the Taisun Party on his forehead.

Thousands of households in Ningbo fought bravely, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and adjusted the [-] battalion as the left guard general.

Quanzhou Weisuo and Zhangzhou Weisuo, which assisted Taisun in eradicating Japanese pirates, collectively recorded merit once, and the two guards commanded generals, recorded great merit once, and the next assessment will select the best for promotion.

The Ming Navy of the Shenji Battalion made great achievements in exterminating the Japanese pirates, and collectively recorded a great achievement, and all officers and soldiers received a [-]% increase in their salaries.

In terms of titles, there is no seal.

It wasn't long before Jianghuai was appointed uncle, and it wasn't a big battle, so it was impossible for him to be promoted.

That's right, in the eyes of the big bosses in the imperial court, the Japanese pirates are actually equal to the bandits, and they are nothing compared to the Beizheng campaign.

Although Li Hu made a lot of contributions this time, the title was still a little short.

After discussing with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, it was decided to reward him with a thousand pieces of gold and give him a flying fish suit.

As for the grade, there is no increase.

The position of chief officer of the navy was set by the old man, and he is already a second-rank official rank. If he is promoted, he will enter the first-rank rank.

Li Hu was very sorry that he did not get the title.

I decided in my heart that I must work hard to fight the war in the future, and strive to get a title before I die, so as to exchange a guarantee for my stupid son.

The third day of May in the 13th year of Yongle.

In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi regions of Fujian, the grandson of the Japanese pirates and water thieves who had been disturbing for more than a month suddenly ordered the entire sea area to be under martial law.

The reason given was that warships from other countries were found overseas, and it was suspected that other countries were going to invade Ming Dynasty.

In order to prevent the enemy from stepping into the territory of Ming Dynasty, no ship is allowed to go to sea in all sea areas of Ming Dynasty without the emperor and his orders.

Anyone who dares to go to sea without permission will be punished as collaborating with the enemy.

At the same time, he will take the navy and the Shenji Battalion to Xiaoliuqiu Island to establish a sea frontline defense base to block the invading enemies of other countries.

The imperial court also strongly agreed with it, and even announced it to the people of the world and the surrounding foreign countries.

The land of the Ming Dynasty is inviolable, and if anyone dares to invade, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will live with it.

Yongle August 13, 5.

The navy, ready to go, officially left the Quanzhou Wharf, pulling a boat full of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, and headed for the opposite Xiaoliuqiu Island.

Standing on the deck, Zhu Zhangui was in a very good mood looking at the scenery at sea and the mighty fleet beside him.

"For the players who live a good life, I'm already hungry and thirsty for my sword. Are you ready for hell?"

Wa country, my grandson is here.
