Even though the Ryukyu Port represented by the Chengshan Fleet is so domineering and complaining in their hearts, no one dares to say a word! For fear of being blacklisted by the Ryukyu Port, they refused to enter the waters of the Ryukyu Islands, and were photographed by the Chengshan Fleet. , It was shot on the spot! The situation is stronger than people, and they have to follow the rules announced by the Ryukyu Port! Unless they do not

  Afraid of death, he insisted on breaking through the Japanese waters.

  Of course, there will definitely be people like this who want money and not life, especially the white-skinned pigs from Xiyi, and there will be quite a few.

  But it depends on whether they have... the ability to break through the Chengshan Fleet's patrol fleet.

  The rules were informed on the spot, and the transaction started on the spot.

  The merchants from all countries, while full of resentment, had to trade.

  Who made the Ryukyu Port's navy strong and wrapped up the Japanese country's transactions! This is also something that can't be helped.

  "Jim, their situation is too domineering, too barbaric. They have just occupied the Ryukyu Islands, and they announced that they are forbidden to go to the Japanese waters to trade, and forced us to trade in the Ryukyu port. Is this something that civilized people can do?"

  On a galleon, a white lady complained to a white-skinned merchant.

  "Don't say that, Mary, I know the situation on the Ryukyu port. The naval power of this Ming force is really too strong. It's not like you didn't see the situation of their powerful naval fleet a few days ago! More than [-] warships. , There are also eight giants in existence, and we are not their opponents at all!"

  Jim quickly covered the mouth of the white lady and explained: "It is said that this is not the entire force of this fleet, just a main fleet called Chengshan Fleet.

  And this force from the Ming Dynasty has three fleets of the scale of Chengshan Fleet under its command!"

  "Their power is just too powerful!"

  "Believe me, with such a powerful force, occupying the Ryukyu Islands, establishing the Ryukyu port, and occupying the Japanese trade, this is just the beginning.

  Their strength is enough to dominate the entire East, and soon the east of Malacca will become their hunting ground!"

  "If we want to make a fortune in the East, we must listen to them. It is said that they attach great importance to the rules. Anyone who does not obey their rules will only have one death, and that is a cruel cannonade!"

  When Miss Mary heard this, her frightened legs softened, and she covered her mouth and said in horror, "My God, how could they be so savage as to carry out such a cruel and inhumane punishment!"

  Jim spread his hands and said helplessly: "So, you have to obey their rules! You should be lucky that they didn't seize our goods and merchant ships, otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to go back!"

  "Mary, you should be very lucky!"

  Miss Mary seemed to be frightened, she didn't dare to complain anymore, she nodded quickly, very well-behaved: "Okay Jim, I'll listen to you!"

  This scene happened on various merchant ships, not only the Xiyi merchant ships, but also the merchant ships from Daming.

  For the powerful navy, almost the whole of the East, there is no Weihaiwei navy that can match and challenge it, they all chose to follow their heart and decided to abide by the rules of the Ryukyu Port.

  As for not running this route, it is impossible! As long as you can continue to make money, you have to run! It is not easy to run a route, and it is a route that can make money.

  Only the poor will choose to open up a new line of defense by themselves.

  Thinking that businessmen like them who have already made a fortune, it is the most stable choice to run well and not run.

Chapter 1 Colonial Japan (5/[-])

  Ryukyu Port Naval Base, the newly established Chengshan Fleet Command.

  "Those businessmen have all compromised and stopped fighting"

  Fleet Commander Zhang Hong chuckled and said to the staff around him.

  "Commander Zhang, it's not like you don't know that these Western barbarian businessmen are bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and they take their lives very much! We control the entire waters of the Ryukyu Islands, and we have enough naval power to guard this waters. No one or force can challenge it. Our rule, what can they do if they don't compromise"

  "As long as you want to continue making money on this route, you have to follow our rules!"

  The staff members spread their hands one after another, and it is not surprising that these Xiyi merchants compromised.

  For Weihaiwei people, they have no favorable impression of Xiyi white-skinned pigs at all.

  But that doesn't mean that they want to kill all these white-skinned pigs! Now that Weihaiwei has not taken over the world, white-skinned pigs are still very useful.

  After all, they still need to make money, not to kill these white-skinned pig merchants, for Weihaiwei, there is no benefit, but to let them go, trade with them, and make more money.

  From their hands, they can buy more strategic materials, and at the same time, they can increase the export volume of various commodities in the Weihaiwei territory and expand maritime trade transactions! There are many benefits! Of course, this does not mean that with these Western barbarians The white-skinned pig has always been in business.

  For Weihaiwei, the robbing has to be robbed, and the trade has to continue.

  In a word, fighting is fighting, business is business, and the two are not delayed.

  "Very good, since we have dealt with the merchants from various countries in the Southeast Asia, then it is time to deal with the Japanese country."

  Zhang Hong was about to pick up a pen and drew a circle on the map of Japan.

  "The main question now is, should we use our naval power to blockade the Japanese waters and force trade with them? Or should we directly send marines to board the Japanese islands, occupy their silver mines and sulphur mines, open their gates, and forcibly open up the Japanese market. To colonize!"

  Hearing this, the staff members pondered.

  Both approaches have their pros and cons.

  The first is just to control the Japanese country's sea defense line, and control the resources it exports, so the effect is quick and the trouble is small, but the benefits are just the same, not too big or not small.

  The second is equivalent to directly colonizing the Japanese state, controlling its silver mines and sulphur mines and other important strategic materials, and directly plundering and colonizing it.

  In addition, it can also open its market, expand the territory's sea trade transactions, and expand the channels of sea trade transactions.

  Predatory colonization, the benefits are naturally huge, especially the strategic materials such as silver ore and sulfur ore are also included.

  But this method is very troublesome, and the casualties will not be small.

  Although the Japanese country is a small country, it has a large population, tens of millions! When colonized, the resistance is not small! One is stable and easy to obtain benefits.

  One is predatory colonization, with huge benefits.

  It's really hard to choose.

  The staff members shook their heads one after another, analyzed the pros and cons of the two, and then said, "It's up to you, Commander, to make a decision!"

  Zhang Hong is also a little tangled. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods are very obvious.

  He is also a person who seeks stability, in fact, he really wants one. It is like a mess, occupying the Ryukyu Island, controlling the main traffic roads, and sitting and collecting money.

  However, the territory is frantically preparing for the war, a large number of strategic materials are in preparation for the war in less than three months, and all kinds of materials are in short supply.

  If they need a lot of blood transfusions from overseas colonies, then they are destined to be unable to collect money comfortably! "Spray!"

  He slapped the pen in his hand on the table fiercely, and said viciously: "Damn, hundreds of warships of our Chengshan Fleet are staying here, and they are constantly patrolling every day. This is a great waste!"

  "And five or six thousand, the Marine Corps guarding a small Ryukyu Island, it is too embarrassing!"

  "The naval and army forces, we are all very strong, and we are very strong, we must not waste them, and let the bodies of our subordinates rust!"

  "I have decided to colonize the island, and I don't need to occupy the entire territory of the Japanese island, but only need to occupy their important silver mines and sulfur mines! Force them to sign a trade agreement, open their country door, and let their market, Open to us!"

  "This time, beat me hard, kill them hard, beat them and kill them all, then we can plunder comfortably!!"

  "Prepare a large number of merchant ships for me, this commander, take you to make a fortune!!"

  After the decision to plunder the Japanese state was made, all the staff members cheered and boiled.

  Although the Japanese country is small and small, it is very rich! There are many silver mines and many reserves! At the same time, there are also a large number of sulfur mines! These two strategic materials, no matter which one is occupied, can make a fortune! Yes! Territory is extremely important! It is a strategic resource that must not be missed! Rather than buying, they prefer to grab it, take it directly, and put it all into their pockets.

  Using Japanese people to dig Japanese mines, and then put all the mines into your own pockets, isn't it beautiful! The silver and sulfur mines in Japanese countries, whether they are reserves or mined, are world-class. Ranked in the forefront of the world.

  In this era, it is also called the silver age! Almost one third of the silver used in the silver trade comes from the Japanese country! Why did the silver price in Daming continue to drop for more than two hundred years, except for the silver that was pulled from South America by Spanish galleons , most of them were silver supplied from Japan.

  Because copper is expensive and silver is cheap in Japan, the silver trade between Daming and Japan is extremely prosperous! I don't know how many merchants in the south of Daming have made a fortune because of the silver trade with Japan! Why can Zheng Zhilong be called "Sea King" "

  It is also related to his start in the silver trade. With a lot of silver as capital, he can build more warships and support more men.

  Even though he occupied the Fujian sea area and harvested tens of millions of silver every year, he still did not stop doing silver trade business with the Japanese country, but instead it became bigger and bigger.

  It can be said that this time Weihaiwei occupied the Ryukyu Island and controlled the Ryukyu waters. The one who hated Weihaiwei the most was not some Xiyi businessman, but Zheng Zhilong from Fujian! And it was a knife with a very deep wound and too much blood loss! However, Lin Feng didn't care about Zheng Zhilong at all when Weihaiwei went up and down.

  Even the Chengshan Fleet below him completely ignored Zheng Zhilong! In this era, in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong was the first in terms of sea power! However, after the strong rise of Weihaiwei's naval power, Zheng Zhilong's The naval power has been dumped for more than ten streets, and it cannot be called the opponent of the Weihaiwei Navy at all.

  Not even a threat! Weihaiwei's army is extremely efficient.

  After the commander of the Chengshan Fleet made the decision to colonize the Japanese country, the entire fleet immediately began to assemble, naval battleships and marines all boarded the ship one after another. It only took an hour.

  The commander of the Chengshan Fleet, Zhang Hong, led the six 66 squadrons, forty-eight warships, as well as five thousand marines, and twenty thousand peasants as farmers, leading the army and heading straight for the Japanese country.

  The first goal is the world-class silver mine - Iwami Silver Mine! Fei Lu reminds you: three things to read, collect, recommend, and score

Chapter 2 Landing in Japan, Colonizing Shimane Port (5/[-])

  The Iwami Silver Mine is located in the Shimane: area of ​​the Japanese country, on the largest island in the Japanese country.

  It stands to reason that the Weihai Fleet stationed on Jeju Island is the most suitable for attacking and colonizing the Japanese country, but the main goal of the Weihai Fleet is to colonize the Heilongjiang River Basin and a large area around it, more than tens of millions of square kilometers.

  Therefore, the area of ​​Wa Island was placed under the jurisdiction of the Chengshan Fleet.

  Weihai Weihai Fleet, the Weihai Fleet is responsible for the northward development, and when it develops to a certain point, it will be officially renamed the North Sea Fleet, and all the sea areas north of Korea and the coast will be included in its jurisdiction.

  The Chengshan Fleet is responsible for the eastward development. The Ryukyu and Japanese countries are just a small goal of the Chengshan Fleet. Eventually, the Chengshan Fleet will be renamed the East China Sea Fleet and will dominate the entire Pacific Ocean. become its colonial target.

  The Jinghai Fleet is responsible for southward development, and will include the entire South China Sea and Australia and surrounding islands in the southern region, becoming the real South China Sea Fleet.

  It's just that the current strength is still limited, and the scope of activities is also limited to the offshore, so it can't officially change its name.

  However, their respective jurisdictions and sea areas have been demarcated.

  The commander of the Chengshan Fleet, Zhang Hong, led the main force of the fleet, a mighty army, starting from the newly occupied Ryukyu Port, all the way north, through the waters of the economic state island, and finally reached the Shimane area of ​​the Japanese country where Iwami Ginzan is located.

  Today's Japanese country is in a state that is called "going out of the sky" by later generations.

  The Tokugawa shogunate established by the family represented by the Tokugawa Ieyasu, imitated Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, "relying on the emperor to make princes"

  The operation of the Wa Kingdom controlled the Wa King of the Wa Kingdom, and gave orders to the entire Wa Kingdom in the Edo area, apparently quelling the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom.

  The Tokugawa shogunate period is also known as the Edo period.

  Because of the existence of Iwami Silver Mountain, the Shimane: area has been coveted by countless Japanese lords, that is, the lords and lords, in the past hundred years. In order to snatch the silver mine, countless wars and dark battles broke out.

  In the end, the Tokugawa shogunate won the victory and won the Iwami Ginzan, and this area was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Tokugawa shogunate.

  So the enemy that the Chengshan Fleet needs to face is not the daimyo of the Japanese country, but the Tokugawa Shogunate! It is almost equivalent to declaring war on the entire Japanese country! Declaring war without declaring war means nothing to the Chengshan Fleet.

  Because, everyone from Weihaiwei, including the commander of the Chengshan Fleet, Zhang Hong, did not take the Japanese country seriously.

  It's not arrogance, it's real strength crushing! Possessing a strong naval power means controlling the initiative in the war. No matter what, the Chengshan fleet will not lose. The only doubt is how much it can plunder, What price will it have to pay.

  In the face of Chengshan Fleet carrying the main force, the nest is attacked, and the people of Shimane, Japan, have no defensive measures.

  It can even be said that they suddenly appeared in a state of confusion when facing the Chengshan Fleet.
