The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 534
Zhao Shimin believed that with five thousand heroes and Han Kuan's cavalry attacking, it would be easy to defend "Huaxia Island".

Two batches of Xiao Changgui's field artillery have been sent to Jiaozhi through practice, a total of 600 people.

There are still [-] artillery interns, and the number of field artillery has reached [-]. Xiao Changgui is going to personally lead a veteran artillery of the general banner, and bring all the interns to Japan to experience the war for themselves.

Because the head of the family said that talking about war on paper is empty after all, only after the baptism of blood and fire can a qualified soldier be born.

After patching together, Huang Mingli had more than 22 new warships in his hands, including three medium-sized battleships, eleven small battleships, [-] cruisers and [-] sentinel ships.

With such strength, it is no longer possible for any navy in Asia to win completely. It should not be a problem to bring these warships to help Li Guozhu grab the territory.

At the end of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the navy led by Huang Mingli rushed to Li Guozhu's private port, and Xu Xinsu also arrived with the navy. He brought more than sixty warships.

The three families decided to draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot, temporarily not going to the Hirado clan, which is now on high alert, and they fought fiercely with Li Guozhu several times to draw the outcome.

Presumably the security there is already heavily guarded, and touching the hard bones at this time will increase casualties in vain. The battle plan that minimizes losses in exchange for maximum benefits is what the Huang family pursues.

Huang Mingli led the navy together with Li Guozhu and Xu Xinsu's warships and began to accumulate small victories into big victories. There are many islands in Japan, and there are too many seagoing ships tailored to local conditions.

The three companies cooperated to cruise [-] nautical miles near Kyushu Island. The strategic purpose: to sink and arrest all sea ships.They knew that the Hirado Domain was just a small island.

Every time the three families successfully rob a Japanese Zhuyin ship, their own strength will become stronger, and the enemy will naturally go from bad to worse.As long as the Wa country is wiped out of its sea power, the Hirado clan will be isolated and helpless, and it will be no problem to take it there calmly at that time.

Because there were too many seagoing ships in Japan, they learned to hide and seek. After working for half a year, the three families felt that they had exhausted their combat power at sea near Kyushu, Japan, and finally prepared to go to Hirado to pick peaches.

On the sixth day of June in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the three families dispatched [-] warships, including [-] men and horses, and rushed straight to Hirado Port.

The Hirado Clan had long been heavily fortified, and they sent envoys to ask Ming why they invaded Japan while adding troops to the forts to strengthen their defenses.

Only then did Huang Mingli realize that he forgot to change his flag, and was still flying the flag of the Daming Juehua Island Navy.

This kid can argue with his words, he justly told the Hirado Clan envoy that he came here after tracking down Jiannu spy.

Dozens of pairs of subordinates watched the ships of Jiannu Xizuo enter Hirado Port, and they must be hiding somewhere in the port, demanding to bring warships into the port to search for Jiannu.

If anyone dares to obstruct the Ming army from arresting Jiannu, he will be treated as Jiannu, and he will be killed without mercy!Doing so is exactly the same as the little devil who found a reason to enter Wanping City hundreds of years later, which led to the July [-]th Incident.

Of course, the Hirado clan rejected this out-of-the-box reason for entering Hong Kong. As a last resort, the three coalition forces could only knock on the door with artillery fire. Thousands of shells hit the door, and the Hirado clan finally knew that the visitor was not good.

Bloody battles are inevitable, and it is inevitable that people will die.Three days later, the three families stepped ashore with corpses on the ground, passed through the broken walls near the port, and entered the bustling commercial and residential area to grab gold and silver treasures. The flower girl was very busy.

Too many Japanese people were inexplicably sad and indignant, cursing the invaders as vicious robbers.

The three families don't care about it. We dare to kill people who dare to scold them. After two months of patient persuasion and education, they used steel knives, military stabs, and lead bullets. Yes, it is an acceptance of the fact that it is occupied.

Huang Mingli looked down on the captured Hirado feudal equipment and warships, and let Li Guozhu and Xu Xinsu divide them privately. The two families were very embarrassed, and gave Huang Mingli [-]% of the looted gold and silver treasures. More than a thousand Japanese flower girls are going to take them back for "common prosperity".

Huang Mingli helped Li Guozhu to obtain Hirado Island, with limited casualties, controllable battle damage, and huge profits. He brought back about 600 million taels of precious metals in silver terms.

Li Guozhu got more than 100 million taels of silver, a population of 8 to [-], and dozens of Zhuyin ships, and his strength has also risen to a higher level.

He also recruited thousands of subordinates, including Hirado samurai who surrendered, pirates who wandered in this sea area, and many fishermen.

He bought smoothbore guns and musket guns produced by the Huang family to arm his subordinates, and began to build a bastion in Hirado Port. It is estimated that it will not be easy for Japan to regain it after three to five years of operation.

Huang Mingli told Xu Xinsu not to leave in a hurry, and it would not be too late to leave after Li Guozhu's defense system was completed.

Xu Xinsu was so happy, he also got more than 100 million taels of silver and dozens of sea-going ships, and he couldn't be idle when he stayed in Hirado with Li Guozhu, "rob, grab, grab." Must have!
Huang Mingli knew that the Japanese shogunate would be in constant trouble if the two pirate gangs got together, but unfortunately he was really worried about Huangjiawan Island, so he had to leave the good deal of robbery and go home.

-

On the seventh day of June in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the rebellion in the Shandong Peninsula took a turn for the better. More than a dozen officials including Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, Wang Zheng of military preparation, and Zhang Tao, general officer of the army, were released by Kong Youde.

This was Kong Youde's plan to kill two birds with one stone. Dengzhou was besieged for less than half a year, the food in the city was exhausted, and heavy troops gathered outside the city.

Many people in Dongjiang Town have seen the fighting power of the Huang family. None of them dared to go out of the city to break through. They knew that if they dared to come out, they would be shot in a few rows by the Huang family's unique muskets, and everyone would be finished.

The best strategy is to escape by sea. Kong Youde wants to escape at night, but Shang Kexi and Mao Chenglu's ships have come to Shuicheng to meet him.

In the afternoon, the Ming army saw that more than a dozen hanging baskets had been put down at the top of Dengzhou City, and several officials who had been captured by the rebels were released. The Ming army cheered thunderously for a while.

Regardless of what happened to these officials, the troops involved in the siege had their share in forcing the rebels to release them.

Heihu and Lu Chengzu knew that Sun Yuanhua had a deep personal relationship with the Patriarch, so of course they treated him with courtesy.Arrange for them to rest and wash, and hold a banquet to scare them.

While the Ming army camp was celebrating, Kong Youde sneaked away across the sea overnight with 9000 troops.It wasn't until the morning of the next day that the Ming army discovered that the city of Dengzhou was quiet and realized that there were no rebels left.

The Wuqiao Mutiny, which lasted eighteen months in history, ended nine months ahead of schedule. Kong Youde did not dare to massacre all the residents of Dengzhou, and there were more than [-] starving survivors in the city.

The same as history is that Kong Youde's tribe secretly fled into the sea due to lack of food. The difference from history is that Shang Kexi turned against him. Except for Shenmi Island, all Dongjiang towns flocked to Shang Kexi. Twenty thousand, four or five hundred artillery pieces were abducted by them.

Regardless of whether the rebels were wiped out or not, Denglai's recovery is an indisputable fact. Moreover, the general Heihu has no navy under his command, so what can he do if the enemy escapes across the sea?

Therefore, it is inevitable that Heihu, Ma Shilong, Lu Chengzu and other generals who participated in the war will make great contributions to the sky.

Lu Chengzu was a local snake in Shandong. He immediately took over refugees, engulfed unowned land, and organized and arranged for the construction of water conservancy facilities.
