Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

"Haha, the general commanded by the other party is dead!" Naoyoshi Ashikaga showed a victorious smile on his face.

On the Japanese Navy's side, everyone thought that Ming's large warship would not be able to withstand it.

Then he saw the Yangzhou warship Xu Da was riding on slowly sailing out of the thick smoke.

When Ashikaga Naoyoshi saw this situation, the smile on his face instantly froze. Not only did the opponent's main battleship not catch fire and sink, he expected that the opponent's main battleship was not even damaged at all.

"How is this possible?!" Ashikaga Naoyoshi's eyes widened, completely unable to believe what he saw.

You must know that their Divine Fire Special Forces sacrificed their lives for this. So many fire ships collided with them, and they couldn't even cause the slightest damage?

In this way, it would make their sacrificial behavior even more clownish.

Xu Da had already anticipated this situation, and he was very confident in the defensive power of the Yangzhou he was riding.

Because Yang Xian told him that the Yangzhou warship was the most powerful warship in this era.

After the power problem was solved, the entire warship was wrapped in iron sheets. These small Japanese fishing boats were transformed into suicide fire ships, and as many as they came died!

"All gunners on the Yangzhou, prepare!" Xu Da said coldly.

"To the northeast, fire off the cannon!"

Under Xu Da's confident order, all the new cannons on the Yangzhou warship turned their guns in unison and aimed at the main ship of the Japanese fleet, Ashikaga Naoyoshi.

boom! boom! boom!

More than thirty divine artillery fired in a salvo, and the huge roar, like the roar of dragons, resounded over the East China Sea.

The fire network formed by the more powerful artillery can easily cover the enemy's main ship.

The auxiliary ships covering the main ship where Ashikaga Naoyi was located were affected by artillery fire and were sunk in an instant.

And half of the huge sea ship that represented the glory of Japan was directly destroyed.

Countless Japanese naval forces were blown away and fell into the sea.

Seeing this situation, Xu Da burst out laughing, feeling proud in his chest.

"Second round, get ready!"

"put!"

Ashikaga Naoyoshi shouted loudly and turned around to retreat. As soon as the voice sounded, the second round of divine artillery shells roared in!

One of the shells landed right on the head of Ashikaga Naoyoshi who was shouting loudly.

boom!

"what!"

As soon as the screams started, they were swallowed up by a huge explosion.

Ashikaga Naoyi himself was blown to pieces by the cannonball.

Under the bombardment of two rounds of divine artillery, the Japanese fleet was already in dilapidated state.

The remaining people, after seeing the main ship blown up, the remaining fighting spirit in their hearts completely disappeared, and they all turned around and fled for their lives.

This time, the miracle that happened more than a hundred years ago failed to happen again, and the divine wind failed to help them.

The only pity is that Yang Xian was not able to stand on the Yangzhou and witness this historical scene with his own eyes.

In the original time and space, the Sino-Japanese War was extremely humiliating.

Territory was ceded and compensation was paid, and sovereignty was lost.

Is it because the warships and weapons of the Beiyang Navy of the Qing government were backward at that time?

On the contrary, the weapons and equipment of the Beiyang Navy at that time were among the best in the world.

The failure of the Sino-Japanese War was not just because of corruption among Qing government officials.

The truth about the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1899 was that the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty had just had a bad start, and they hurriedly called for a halt. They surrendered midway and ceded territory to pay compensation, and ended up betraying China.

Because the Qing government was afraid that a long-term war would cause the Han people to oppose Japan and the Manchus at the same time, a second Taiping Rebellion, or the Hunan and Huaihe armies would seize power.

From the perspective of the Qing government, Japan's invasion was equivalent to another alien race coming to divide the treasure. If you can't defeat it, just divide it. It's better than leaving nothing at all.

Because they have never regarded themselves as children of this land.

I have never truly connected myself with the land beneath my feet.

In sharp contrast, 42 years later, in 1937, facing Japan, which was fattened by Manchu indemnities and became unprecedentedly powerful. At this time, China was weakening, but the descendants of Yan and Huang fought with blood and blood and fought to the end, leaving every inch of mountains and rivers intact. An inch of blood, 8 long years to finally regain the land.

At the same time, the Qing government even created a puppet Manchukuo with the support of Japan to cooperate with Japan's invasion of China.

It is not an exaggeration to say that all bad things have been done.

Of course, now, with Yang Xian here, it is impossible for those maggots to crawl out from the white mountains and black waters.

In this naval battle, Xu Da completely broke Japan's backbone for the next two hundred years.

The Ming Dynasty King's Division, armed with the power of victory, headed for the coast.

For so many years, Japanese pirates have been constantly intruding on our people on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.

They never thought that such a day would come to them.

So what if we have thousands of miles of sea as a barrier? !

After bullying the people of Ming Dynasty, do you still naively think that the Ming Dynasty will just let it go? !

The coastline is getting closer and closer, and it can be seen with the naked eye that Japan has also deployed heavy troops at sea.

After all, their slogan is to resist the enemy on the other side, attack the enemy on the sea, destroy the enemy on the water, and annihilate the enemy on the beach.

The coast is their last line of defense.

If they hadn't lost so miserably in the naval battle just now, not to mention winning, they would still be able to defend the coastline.

But now, these buddies stationed on the coastline see their own defeated and fleeing fleet, how much momentum do they have left?

Even though there are still tens of thousands of soldiers stationed here, there is a big question mark as to how much actual combat effectiveness they can exert.

On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty Navy.

From top to bottom, the blood in the bodies of all the soldiers seemed to be burning.

Seek justice for the people along the southeast coast who have been innocently victimized for so many years.

This tone was raised by Yang Xian when he visited Wei Guogong to review Xu Da. Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty sergeants be maximized.

As the military god of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da had no shortcomings in his ability to lead troops in battle.

As a leader, his appeal is equally impressive.

The slogan put forward by Yang Xianhe has now been deeply integrated into the flesh and blood of the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

Since it is seeking justice.

Such a blood debt,

Naturally, it can only be repaid with blood!

The Ming warships charging at the front had already begun to force a landing, and the sound of gunfire rang out again, deafening!

Nothing can stop the determination of the Ming soldiers to take revenge.

Only blood and fire can make these despicable ethnic groups remember forever that the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot be violated!

Under the cover of a round of ferocious artillery fire from the leading warship, the rear vessel quickly followed and docked, and then three thousand elite musketeers armed with Hongwu rifles, the most advanced firearms of this era, and live nuclear bombs began to perform.

Three thousand Hongwu rifles were like fire dragons, spitting out fierce fire.

Under round after round of musket fire, the Japanese soldiers guarding the shore fell down one after another in an instant!

Again, hot weapons hitting cold weapons is a pure dimensionality reduction strike!

This landing battle soon turned into a one-sided massacre. As for Japan, the more perfect the formation is and the more people are gathered together, the faster and more people will die!

The musketeers opened the way, and then the cold weapons were responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

The entire landing operation lasted for more than an hour, and almost all the Japanese troops stationed on the shore were annihilated!

Under the command of Xu Da, after a short period of repairs by the entire army, 10,000 Ming naval forces stayed behind to guard the ships.

Xu Da took the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and marched towards Izumo Kingdom again.

Target, Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine!

Because of the previous experience, this time it was smoother.

There was almost no resistance along the way, and the army headed straight for Izumo Country.

More than half a year ago, after Xu Da and the others left, Izumo Country was directly taken over by Japan's Northern Dynasties.

After the officials in the city received the news that their army was defeated, they fled early with their soldiers because they were afraid of death.

When Xu Da and the others arrived at the Izumo Kingdom, people from the Izumo Kingdom gathered outside the city, and they were greeted by the Ming Dynasty King and his masters.

Many people even knelt down and shouted bird songs loudly.

Although they didn't understand the language, Xu Da and the others could feel that the people of the Japanese country welcomed them from the bottom of their hearts.

To put it ironically, for many people in Izumo, the best life was during the period when the Ming army briefly ruled them.

Because at least at that time, they could have enough to eat.

Even if they have to mine all day long.

But after Xu Da and the others left, Ashikaga Takauji sent people to take over the place, and the people of Izumo Kingdom still had to mine.

But the rations distributed to them every day became less and less.

They know who is good to them.

Many things in this world are often like this.

It's nothing more than the difference between better and worse.

The Ming Dynasty gave them three rice balls a day, which was better than the Northern Dynasty officials giving them one rice ball a day.

In fact, many people can only compete for these two pieces of rice balls in their entire lives.

"My lord, I finally waited for you." Kinemon walked out of the crowd, knelt down far away from Xu Da's army, kowtowed and shouted loudly.

Xu Daji was not impressed when he saw the other party's appearance, but when he heard the other party's broken Chinese, he immediately remembered this boy. At that time, he relied on him to mobilize the young labor force of Izumo Country to dig mountains.

"You are Kinemon, get up." Xu Da waved his hand, signaling to the guards around him not to be nervous.

For the fact that his name could be remembered by the commander-in-chief of the Celestial Master, Kinemon expressed his great honor and his gratitude beyond words.

Since they were familiar with each other, Xu Da asked Kinemon to go to Iwami Ginzan with them. On the way, he also listened to him talk about all the things that happened here after they left.

At this time, the importance of learning a foreign language is reflected.

You must know that Kinemon was just a pariah at first, but now he has transformed into a man who can approach Xu Da and other Celestial Masters at such a close distance. For a time, countless common people in Izumo Kingdom cast envious glances at him.

This made Kinemon's originally stooped body become taller and taller without even realizing it.

Xu Da led his guards to Ishimi Yinshan again.

The Japanese officers and soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the silver mines all ran away in a swarm at some point.

Xu Da took a look and found that there were more mines in Shijian Yinshan than before they left. It was obvious that in the past half year or so, Rubenbei Dynasty had not been idle, and had conducted deeper excavations in the mines.

Outside the mine, tools used for mining silver are scattered everywhere.

Not far away is the silver smelting workshop built by Xu Da and others at that time.

In addition, some military fortifications were built on the entire Shijianyin Mountain during the time Xu Da and the others left. These were also built for Xu Da and the others.

Xu Da left a team to occupy the silver mine and asked them to strengthen their defense.

He himself returned to Izumo Country.

Because the Ming Dynasty will take root here next, the standardization of management in Izumo Country must be put on the agenda in advance.

During this period, the forces in Japan's northern and southern dynasties were all in panic.

The Sino-Japanese naval battle ended quickly, but it had great stamina.

Not long after it ended here, word spread throughout Japan, and the entire Japanese island was shocked.

The daimyo in each territory were all horrified, fearing that if they closed their eyes and woke up tomorrow, Ming's army would have already come to kill them.

At this time, they had no intention of resisting at all. The previous battle had completely broken their spines.

The capital of Japan's Northern Dynasties, Kyoto, the imperial residence.

Emperor Guangming had an anxious look on his face and looked outside the house from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.

Just then footsteps sounded.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Emperor Guangming immediately stood up and took the initiative to greet him, grabbing the person's hand as if he was grasping the last life-saving straw.

Emperor Guangming said: "General, what should we do in this situation?"

"Does the Ming Dynasty intend to directly rule Japan?"

"What if they call right away?"

The visitor was none other than Ashikaga Takauji, the actual controller of the Northern Dynasty and the first general to conquer barbarians who established the Muromachi Shogunate.

That is, the brother of Ashikaga Naoyoshi who was blown to pieces by a divine fire cannon.

Ashikaga Takauji raised his hand and gently patted the back of Emperor Komikado's hand, indicating to the other party to relax, and then said: "His Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. According to my inference, they are most likely going to the silver mine at Iwami Ginzan." of."

This has been confirmed by the ninjas sent out, and the Ming army has settled in Izumo Country.

"But in order to find out the true intention of Ming Dynasty, we must send an envoy to find out." Ashikaga Takauji pondered for a while and then said.

"I wonder who the general thinks it is appropriate to appoint as the special envoy for this time." Emperor Guangming asked.

"I'll go myself."

"Okay, everything depends on the general." The Emperor of Light nodded and said. "I will now order you to be Japan's special envoy to contact the Ming Dynasty army."

Emperor Komori would agree to any request Ashikaga Takauji made, because the throne of emperor was also given to him by Ashikaga Takauji.

To put it simply, the relationship between Emperor Komei and Ashikaga Takauji is like the relationship between Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.

"I obey," Ashikaga Takauji said.

Within a few days, Xu Da, who was in Izumo Country, soon received news that the Japanese court had sent an envoy to visit him. (End of chapter)
