Qiming 1158

Chapter 1648 The Ming army does not talk about martial arts, and launches a sneak attack!

In the eyes of Abiliu Cathay Pacific, the thirty warships are a very large naval force.

The task that requires thirty warships to perform is probably already a war-level task.

This is a bad signal. The surrounding area is obviously calm, and there is no sign of war. Under such circumstances, the Ming army has to mobilize large-scale warships to perform tasks, which is probably not a good thing.

It is worth noting that the Ming Kingdom may have any military actions in this area. If these things are aimed at Tsushima Island, it will be a catastrophe for the Abiliu clan, and the Abiliu clan must prepare more.

Abilius Guozhong didn't think so, and he also reprimanded Abilius Cathay Pacific for this.

"The trade between the Ming Kingdom and us has always been very good. From the past, if there is a war, the merchants are always the fastest to detect it, and the merchants can detect the danger as quickly as possible, and then avoid it. merchant.

And now the commercial trade in Jeju Island is still going on, and our orders with the Ming Kingdom are still being executed. Under such circumstances, if the Ming Kingdom starts a war, will the merchants know nothing about it?You don't understand businessmen, you don't understand business and trade, you still have a lot to learn! "

Abi stayed at Cathay Pacific and did not dare to argue, but felt that his father's statement was justified.

If there is really a war, the merchants of the Ming Kingdom will disappear without a trace. How can they reach so many long-term trade cooperation with them?

This is where the information gap between the two sides lies.

Abiriu did not understand that Ming's foreign trade and commerce were all in the hands of the national team, and that Ming's foreign commerce and trade were mainly subject to political and military interests rather than purely economic interests.

In the face of politics and military affairs, the economy has to give way and cannot be detached from it. If necessary, the economy can make certain sacrifices for politics and military affairs.

This is completely different from the commercial trade in the past, which was mainly dominated by the ruling class and mainly pursued interests without considering other relevant factors.

Because of this change in the underlying logic, Abiliu missed the earliest opportunity to detect and avoid the crisis.

Of course, they have no way of knowing this kind of thing, and it can't be regarded as such a huge mistake.

It was not until the afternoon of April 25, [-], that the Sentinels on Tsushima Island who were lazily yawning after taking a nap noticed that more and more ships were approaching Tsushima Island.

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was wrong, but with more and more ships in sight, he was sure he was right.

He thought about the task assigned in the morning by his superior who only appeared in the morning and then went to drink and play with women. He didn't remember the announcement that he had said that a large number of merchant ships would arrive on the island today.

Moreover, there is indeed no similar news from Tsushima Port. The merchant ships that docked today should have the merchant ships in the morning.

How is this going?

Until this time, he still did not realize that this was a surprise attack by the Ming army, and he would also pay the price for the dullness caused by Chengping's long-standing inertial thinking.

Of course, the one who paid the most was Abilius, the owner of Tsushima.

The Abiliu clan was holding a family reunion when the Ming army launched the raid.

Today is the 43rd birthday of Abi Liu Guozhong. The family and distinguished guests gathered together to celebrate the birthday. Everyone sang and danced, ate and drank, and showed each other their wealth to win the applause of everyone and satisfy their vanity.

When some of the subordinates rushed to the gate of Abiliu's mansion to report important news to Abiliu Guozhong, the guards at the gate refused to allow them to enter until they drew their swords and threatened the guards before they were allowed to enter. .

The Ming army did not talk about martial arts, and launched a sneak attack!

The shocking news quickly spread throughout the Abiliu mansion. Everyone who was celebrating his birthday was surprised. They couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it. Abiliu Guozhong, who drank a lot of wine, felt extremely ridiculous. .

Only his son Abiliu Cathay asked nervously what happened, and then he learned that the Ming army successfully landed on Tsushima Island in the afternoon under the load of a large number of warships, and then defeated the defenders and took control of the port, and then scattered out to the island. Initiate a surprise attack.

At present, the island is full of wolves, and there are raiding Ming troops everywhere. The number of Ming troops is huge, and the defenders on the island are obviously defeated and can only retreat. .

The situation is extremely critical.

At this moment, some people began to believe it, but Abi Liu Guozhong, who drank too much, still didn't believe it. He blushed and wanted to kill these bastards who spoiled his interest. Everyone on the board was stunned.

Including Abiliu Guozhong.

The Ming army made rapid progress and was led by spies who were familiar with the terrain. All the way, the army easily moved towards Abiliu's mansion, to execute the beheading tactic, to kill the Abiliu clan, and to destroy the core of the resistance forces on Tsushima Island.

They carried a large number of Thor cannons with them, and after successfully surrounding Abiliu's mansion, they bombarded the courtyard wall with thunder cannons, defeated the defenders, and entered Abiliu's mansion with lightning speed. Some areas of Kyushu Island were controlled by lord-level figures.

Abi Liu Guozhong didn't really believe that the messenger who just came to report was not lying until he witnessed a well-equipped Ming army soldier rushed in front of him and kicked him to the ground.

Ming Jun really came.

But why are they coming?
Why didn't you say hello when you came?

Abiliu Guozhong knew nothing about this.

But this is not important anymore. His era has ended. The Ming army successfully defeated all the garrison forces on Tsushima Island in just one day, and won the victory easily. In two days, all the important strongholds were occupied, which was achieved. Actual control of Tsushima.

On April 27, under the leadership of Kong Zhende, the vanguard fleet of the Ming army and a part of the Marine Corps took the lead in attacking and occupying Yiqi Island.

The number of defenders on Izaki Island was small, and they also had no defenses. After being bombarded by the artillery loaded by the Ming army warships, they collapsed. occupied.

On April 29, Xin Qiji arrived at Tsushima Island and issued orders on Tsushima Island, ordering the entire army to gather on Izaki Island, and then divided into two groups according to the predetermined plan, attacking Kyushu one way and Honshu the other way, and the crusade plan was fully launched.

Su Jue was the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army attacking Kyushu Island, and Kong Zhende, the commander of the navy, was the deputy commander-in-chief.

Xin Qiji personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army attacking the Benzhou area, and Wei Kexian, a general under Su Jue's command, served as the deputy commander-in-chief.

The two armies marched hand in hand to carry out a comprehensive attack on Japan.

On the second day of the fifth lunar month, the navy of the Ming army attacked and destroyed the main force of the navy in the Chuqian Kingdom. The Ming army landed in full, and the navy moved eastward and southwest separately, launching a rapid annihilation operation against the Japanese navy in other areas.

As soon as the army landed, they quickly advanced to important military strongholds under the leadership of spies, and launched raids on local troops that were not yet fully prepared, taking them by surprise.

Facts have proved that the Ming army's preparations in advance were indeed in place, and the local response in Japan was also very stretched, highlighting that one was powerless to fight back.

Without any effective resistance organized by the Chuqian Kingdom, it collapsed for a thousand miles. All the important military strongholds in the area were destroyed and occupied by the Ming army. The army had sporadic resistance, but it was quickly defeated by the Ming army.

Su Jue commanded [-] troops to launch the Kyushu Raiders, which went very smoothly.
