Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 170: Recruit troops and send troops to Japan!

Two days have passed since the annihilation of the commissary ship. Due to the ship test that day, the warship experienced a battle, and there were also shortcomings in it.

In the past two days, Bai Chu led many experienced shipbuilding craftsmen to reinforce and upgrade the warship.

Later, more advanced technical knowledge was combined, and the production methods of gunpowder and cannons were also introduced.

Bai Chu didn't worry about the failure of the production at all, because the production method he provided was accurate to the configuration ratio inside.

Although it was in ancient times, all the necessary things existed. Firearms also existed here before that, but the things required for production were too expensive.

The production method proposed by Bai Chu was not only cheap, but also capable of large-scale production. Gao Jianli also didn't know how many times it was before.

For the navy that Bai Chu personally trained, a portable fire stream was prepared for each of them.

The warships are equipped with military power, and the navy also has powerful weapons. Bai Chu believes that the Ming Dynasty will be invincible in the future attack on the Japanese pirate country!

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

At the beginning of the morning, as soon as Zhu Di sat down, Ma Yinglong, the admiral of Zhejiang Province, stood up and spoke with a sad expression.

"explain!"

"Your Majesty, there was an emergency report from the area under my jurisdiction last night. There was a massacre in Wujia Village in Zhejiang Province the night before."

"There were 400 and people in Wujia Village, and more than of them were killed. In the end, only a dozen people escaped, and six of them went crazy."

Such a tragic incident made all the officials look horrified, and Zhu Di directly slapped the case and said angrily:

"Check, who did it and what happened?"

"Check it carefully for me!"

Without waiting for Zhu Di to give the order, Ma Yinglong angrily told what happened:

"Your Majesty, I have already sent people to investigate. The thieves who massacred the villages are all from the Japanese pirate country.

"And according to the oral accounts of those survivors, the reason for the massacre of the village was that these Japanese pirates wanted to occupy the beautiful women in the village."

"The people in the village refused. Later, they were attacked by Japanese pirates at night. They wanted to snatch the women away, but they were discovered by the villagers, which made the Japanese pirates furious and massacre the village."

Speaking of this, Ma Yinglong couldn't help but choked up:

Almost all the people in the village were gone. The elderly, children, and poor innocent women were humiliated and treated by them before they died, and then were brutally killed. "

"This is within the borders of our dynasty, and the people of our dynasty have suffered such a result.

"They are devils, Your Majesty. I dare to ask Your Majesty to directly send troops to avenge these innocent people who died in vain!"

When the ministers in the palace heard this, their eyes became hot and their pupils were moist.

As a military general, Qiu Fu couldn't bear it for a long time. He immediately stepped forward and said urgently:

"Your Majesty, these Japanese pirates are so ruthless that they slaughtered the people of Ming Dynasty. This is just one of them, and their behavior is already outrageous. We don't know how many innocent people in Ming Dynasty suffered from them.

"If we continue to let things go like this, it will not only make them arrogant, but also make them feel that we are afraid of them."

"I sincerely request the emperor to send troops to attack the Japanese pirate country!"

Another general also stood up and spoke angrily:

"At first the Mongolian Tatars were just like them, but later on they were the same and couldn't beat us."

"Now we are stronger than before. I will not offend others unless they offend me. Since they dare to offend us, we are not afraid of confronting them."

"Blindly advocating for peace gives other countries an opportunity to make trouble."

"These days are different."

"Wei Chen also implores the emperor to send troops to attack the Japanese pirate country immediately!"

All the ministers responded:

"I second my opinion!"

Zhu Di was very excited. When they were about to attack, these people still disagreed, but now they were able to remain consistent.

"The fact that all of you are pleading with me like this shows that your hearts are the same as your true hearts."

“I am heartbroken that the Japanese pirates treated our people of the Ming Dynasty like this, and I will never pay any dividends.

"Although today's Ming Dynasty is watched covetously by all countries, the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of trouble."

"To bully our people is to insult the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and we will never tolerate it!"

"My decree: Inform your husband about the massacre of the village, and order your husband to speed up and set out to attack the Japanese pirate country immediately!"

"Those who violate the Ming Dynasty will never be tolerated!"

"The emperor is mighty, because the power of the Ming Dynasty will always be there!

Zhu Di didn't know what happened at sea before Bai Chu. Otherwise, Zhu Di would definitely be even more angry. Bai Chu was leading the navy to test gunpowder and cannons in an uninhabited area outside the city.

The navy was full of people standing outside the city, with Bai Chu and Zheng He standing at the front.

At this time, Zheng He was excitedly talking to Bai Chu about how powerful these firearms he had developed were.

Sir, the recipe you gave me is unprecedented. You don’t know that this thing is much more powerful than before..."

Bai Chu was indifferent to his overly excited words and didn't even look at him.

Zheng He didn't mind either, his face became even more excited, and he kept whispering in Bai Chu's ear.

Finally, Bai Chu raised his hand, patted the other party's shoulder, and ordered:

"Let's see how effective the gunpowder is first, then you can make arrangements."

Zheng He, who was still talking, heard Bai Chu's order and was stunned for a moment before immediately executing it.

After people buried the gunpowder and lit it, everyone ran to a safe area.

There was only a loud "bang" sound, accompanied by falling dust and broken stones.

"Wow……"

"This is too awesome!"

The sailors exclaimed in unison.

"Sure enough, sir, this is really amazing!"

Zheng He beside him was even more excited.

Bai Chu was also quite surprised. It seemed that this thing was really powerful, even more powerful than in modern times.

"Change the cannon!"

Unlike gunpowder, cannons were not easy to carry and were large in size. They had to be pushed by carts.

After the soldiers placed the car in a safe place, Zheng He walked over and checked for safety hazards, pointing the muzzle at the big rocks and trees ahead.

All I heard was "Play!"

The muzzle of the big cannon made a "bang" sound instantly, and then the stone at the front was blown to pieces. Even a big hole was made in the ground, and a crooked-necked tree next to it fell to the ground.

"This is too... too strong."

“This guy is so awesome.

"With this thing, who does our Ming Dynasty have to be afraid of? Who else dares to come to our Ming Dynasty and wander around?"

"That's right, with this thing, we are the boss!"

Everyone praised and felt proud.

While everyone was still discussing the cannon, an imperial edict came from Zhu Di.

After hearing the content of the imperial edict, this group of people were extremely angry, and even cursed the Japanese pirates. They wished they could immediately carry cannons and gunpowder to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

Bai Chu was also very angry. He did not expect that the Japanese pirates during this period were also so cruel and inhumane.

After all, there are genetics, and no one is good from the root.

If I go to attack this time and slaughter them all, leaving no son alive, and destroying many of their descendants, then wouldn’t I be accumulating great virtue?

The eunuch who delivered the edict handed the imperial edict to Bai Chu and said

"Master Emperor, the Emperor also asked our family to bring you a message.

"The emperor's original words are that the massacre of the village makes me heartbroken and unbearable. I will never let go of the Japanese pirate country. Please make sure to wipe out the Japanese pirate country before you go on this trip. I will take full responsibility for everything. When you travel, I will not send you off." I am waiting for your husband to return from the rear. I hope that he will return in triumph and I will personally welcome him!"

Bai Chu nodded and said:

"I understand the emperor's thoughts. I will definitely help the emperor realize what he wants and come back victorious!"

With Zhu Di's imperial edict, Bai Chu planned to set off in three days, but the plan could not keep up with the change, and an emergency occurred outside Tianjin Acropolis!?
