When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew
Chapter 588 Japanese Island
Chapter 588 Japanese Island
While the court ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead an army of 100,000 to conquer India, Huang Xu found Gan Ning, who was appointed Admiral of the Navy, with a map and the emperor's edict.
The emperor ordered him to lead 5,000 charioteers and tiger soldiers to set off in a few days, driving the newest ship according to the route on the map, with the destination being an island.
The name of the island looks a bit strange, it's called Wo Island.
This requires a long journey across the ocean. What on earth is on the island that is worth such a big fuss?
Gan Ning was completely confused. He couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried.
Since you can't figure it out, there's no need to think about it.
Why not try asking Langguan Huang Xu?
"Mr. Huang, what is on this island? Is it worth mobilizing so many troops?"
Huang Xu chuckled, "General Gan, you will know when the time comes."
Seeing that Huang Xu was unwilling to say more, Gan Ning did not ask any more questions.
Although Guan Yu also served as a naval general, there were differences between naval generals.
For example, he did not keep his integrity.
It was Huang Xu who held the throne.
In other words, he still has to obey Huang Xu's orders.
"Chengyuan." Gan Ning called Ding Feng and said in a deep voice, "Order the three armies to check the ships, food and supplies, and get ready. We will set off soon!"
"Yes." Ding Feng left in a hurry.
After several days of checking and filling in the gaps, all the new warships, food, clothing, fruits and herbs on board were counted and replenished.
Everything was ready, Gan Ning waved his hand and ordered to set off.
A fleet of twenty large and small ships, like a sharp sword splitting the water, set out from the estuary and sailed towards the Japanese island on the other side of the sea.
Every warship in this fleet, no matter its shape or appearance, is different from the previous warships of the Han Dynasty.
Whether it was the main giant ship or the large ship, they were all tall, with a pointed bottom and a raised bow and a raised tail. The giant ship had three masts, the main mast was 3 feet high, the ship was 4 feet long, and there were five floors of cabins. The large ship had two masts and three floors of cabins. The deck was built like a city, with guard plates on the side. A bunch of dark gun muzzles protruded from the hull, reflecting a thrilling light in the sun.
These cannons are the latest masterpieces of the Han Dynasty. They are composed of a barrel, a powder chamber, a breech block, etc. After loading the gunpowder and shells and lighting the fuse, they can launch an attack like thunder. With one shot, no matter how strong the iron wall is, it will be as thin as paper.
However, these cannons are expensive and can only be carried on giant and large ships.
Gan Ning, who used to be a Jinfan pirate, knew the significance of these ships very well. In the past, no matter how good the ships were, it was always difficult to make them sail on the sea.
Not only can these ships sail on the sea, they are also more stable and faster than river boats.
Gan Ning felt relaxed and happy every time he steered these ships.
A real man should sail on the sea in a warship!
But sending such a powerful warship with artillery to the Japanese island is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Gan Ning wanted to ask Huang Xu more than once, but he restrained himself every time.
I restrained myself like this and I don’t know how much time has passed.
The sailor holding the binoculars shouted, "Sir, General! Island! Island! Island! There is an island ahead!"
"!"
Gan Ning immediately perked up and urged Ding Feng to fetch the telescope and put it in front of his eyes to take a look.
Hahaha! It really is an island!
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang, it's the island! We've arrived! I've been waiting for it!"
Gan Ning was overjoyed. He had been seeing the same scenery every day for these days, and he was so bored that he kept yawning.
Fortunately, everything was worth it. I finally saw the island. How can I not be excited?!
"General Gan, you have worked hard." Huang Xu encouraged.
When the fleet was about to approach the shore, Huang Xu and Gan Ning were slightly stunned, listening to the soldiers' reports and the scenes in the telescope.
Why did they notice two groups of children fighting on the shore? No, after a closer look, it seemed that they were not children, but a group of short people fighting each other.
Gan Ning asked, "Mr. Huang, what do you think?"
"General Gan, we are Han officials, not barbarians. I think it is better to use courtesy first and then force. Let's have people hold loudspeakers and shout at them to stop. If they don't listen, we can fire artillery at deserted places. This way, they will listen to us."
"Ah?" Gan Ning looked at Huang Xu in surprise. Is there something wrong with your approach of using courtesy before force?
But it is a feasible strategy.
"Okay, I'll follow what Mr. Huang said."
On the shore of Wajima Island.
The Japanese people, who had bird feather decorations on their foreheads and wore strange clothes, but were fighting each other to the death, actually belonged to two groups.
No, to be precise, it was a union of two larger tribes.
One side called itself the Yamatai Kingdom, and the other side called itself the Gonu Kingdom.
Both sides also have jurisdiction over many small countries.
The Yamatai Kingdom and the Gou Nu Kingdom were at odds with each other and often fought against each other.
The King of the Dog Slave Kingdom laughed loudly as he looked at the Yamatai Kingdom's army that was retreating step by step: "Surrender! As long as you give me that piece of land, I will let you go!"
The King of Yamatai refused again and again, "No! Don't even think about it!"
"But you are going to lose. Aren't you still mine even if you lose? Hey, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Don't you just want to curry favor with the Han people across the sea? Don't think I haven't heard of that General Ping Liao, Gongsun Gongsun, and so on. Anyway, there is no way you can get through!"

"How do you know if you don't try?!" The King of Yamatai still insisted.
However, an accident happened at this moment, and both the King of Yamatai and the King of Gounu were shocked.
A strange voice came from afar, with an inexplicable accent, but they could not understand the other party's words and did not know what the other party wanted to express.
They looked in the direction of the sound, and after just one look, their eyes widened, their mouths opened, and their legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
What. What is that?!
Boat?!
How can there be such a big ship in the world? !
What on earth are they coming here for?!
The answer was soon presented in front of the King of Yamatai and the King of Gou Nu. The huge ship slowly turned around, revealing its deck.
Looking at the dark gun muzzles sticking out from the ship's deck, the King of Yamatai and the King of Gonu clearly had no idea what they were, but they smelled a hint of danger.
The hairs on their bodies stood on end. An oppressive atmosphere emanated from the dark gun muzzles, like the eve of a coming storm, so oppressive that it made it hard to breathe.
next moment.
"Boom" sound.
Fire burst out from the black muzzle and a piercing roar rang in the ears, just like... like thunder falling from the sky!
Do not!
Not like!
The sweat of the King of Yamatai and the King of Gou Nu wet their backs, and a chill and fear rushed along their coccyx to the top of their heads.
They stared at the scene in front of them in horror, their eyes almost falling out of their sockets.
What did they see?
Both the trees and the hillsides were reduced to dust under this horrific attack, and a burning smell lingered in the air.
It’s just like real thunder!
The two groups of people who had just fought to the death had lost the courage to continue fighting after seeing the scene before them. They were trembling with fear and couldn't even hold their weapons tightly. They wanted to escape, but they were afraid that they couldn't outrun Lei Ting.
Just as we were trembling in fear, that ship... no, not just one ship, but dozens of ships!
Tall and majestic figures walked out of these ships one after another. They were so tall that they didn't even look like humans! They were wearing gorgeous armor, and every step they took was so majestic.
Just like
With a plop, someone knelt down towards those figures, followed by the second person, the third person, and soon everyone knelt down towards those figures.
The people of Yamatai and Gonu lowered themselves to a very humble level, as humble as a speck of dust. They spoke in a trembling but respectful tone: "Tiantian God."
Gan Ning, who was traveling with Huang Xu, asked in surprise, "Mr. Huang, is firing the cannon your real purpose?"
"That's right." Huang Xu said frankly, "These pirates have always been afraid of power but not virtue. They admire the strong in their bones. When you are strong, they are like eager students, eager to learn everything from you. When you are weak, they will show their claws and teeth, eager to eat your bones and blood. If we don't let them know how powerful we are, they will not surrender obediently. General Gan, wait and see, this is just the beginning."
Gan Ning did not expect Huang Xu to know these islanders so well. He asked, "Mr. Huang, how do you think we should deal with them?"
"Education and deterrence are both necessary. At the very least, we cannot allow them to cause trouble for the Han people in the future."
Gan Ning always felt that Huang Xu was overthinking. How could a mere islander on a broken island bring disaster to the Han Dynasty?
Gan Ning didn't think much about it, because two islanders with fawning faces came to them like dogs.
Based on the gestures, Gan Ning realized that these two people were actually kings?
