Chapter 505 The Great Leader Wang Xuan
A large troop carrier with a displacement of 2000 tons can carry [-] soldiers, which is already the limit. After all, people are not cargo, they can be stacked casually, and food, grass and fresh water must also be considered.

A total of 5 troops were dispatched, and [-] troop carriers alone were dispatched. Fortunately, the shipbuilding industry has been vigorously developed in the past few years. Otherwise, Wang Xuan really does not have such a large long-distance deployment capability.

The reason why Wang Xuan brought such a person was because he was thinking of a quick battle, even though he usually looks down on Xiaori...but in this era, the big place of the Wa country does support a lot of people.

More than 1200 people!
It is hard to imagine that a country with many volcanic disasters and an area only three points the size of Zhejiang can develop so many people in this era.

No wonder, eating a rice ball is a big meal!
According to the information collected by Wang Xuan, the entire Kyushu Island has a population more than Annanbei, with a population of 200 million!

In this way, together with the escorting warships and the transport ships transporting various materials, the entire fleet is close to [-] ships. In fact, many transport ships will not go to Kyushu Island with Wang Xuan after arriving in Wa Kingdom. According to the plan, this The transport ships that transported a large amount of materials in batches will be divided into three teams, one part will go to Tokyo, the other part will go to Kyoto, and the other part will go to Iwami country in the north.

These are 'serious' merchant ships, and the purpose of going to these places is to sell goods!
"My lord, we are going to attack the Japanese kingdom, massacre the city, invade the land, this, this, this..." Sun Chuanting pointed to the transport ships full of various goods behind the fleet, and asked with a troubled expression: "Isn't it, a bit inappropriate, it's too immodest!"

These are all transport ships with a load capacity of 2000 tons, loaded with a large amount of cloth, porcelain, tea, silk, sugar, wine, ironware and some luxury goods. According to Sun Chengzong's knowledge of the prices of these things after they were transported to the Japanese country, Calculated, It's worth no less than 600 million taels of silver. It's really... huge profits!

For example, cloth, the price of cloth in Fujian is ridiculously cheap now, even tea, which is also grown on a super-large scale, the abundance of grain, and the development of wine-making technology have led to a significant drop in the cost of wine, not to mention ironware. If it weren't for the porcelain, silk, and sugar, the cost of these goods would not exceed 30 taels, and even with those valuables, the cost would be less than 70.

Of course, this cannot be calculated based on cost. This is because the goods prepared by Wang Xuan are different from other sea merchants. Due to the limitations of ship carrying capacity and other restrictions, those sea merchants only sell luxury goods, and their profits can reach more than fifteen times. The idea is dumping, and it is necessary to find a way out for the mass-produced products!

"No, Sun Chuanting, what is encroachment!" Wang Xuan was very displeased with this statement, "Can you speak? It doesn't matter, whether it's a war or not, people always have to eat and dress, so business can't stop!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuan added, "No, this is called the *** circle. We are not going to attack the Wa country, nor are we massacring the city and destroying the country. You have to figure it out, we are going to save the Wa country, which is in dire straits. People!"

"Do you know what the Japanese people eat every day? How poor is the food? How shabby are the clothes? How miserable are the lives? I can tell you responsibly that what they eat is better than the pigs we raise. They’re all bad, they don’t even have underwear, and they’re shared by the daughter-in-law!” At this point, Wang Xuan raised his head to look at the sky at 45 degrees, with a look of compassion.

"Ah?" Sun Chuanting looked disbelieving, "Isn't the Wa country very rich, otherwise, why would so many people sell goods there and earn a lot of money."

Indeed, normally speaking, where there are more rich people, money is easy to earn every month, but it is a poor place where there is no food, how can there be money.

"Silver can't be eaten after all, and the poor in that place only have money." Wang Xuan didn't know how to describe the Wa Kingdom, so he could only use such a statement. It's hard to imagine that the nobles of the Wa Kingdom would be poor. Bad, even the emperor's life was short because of it, when Wang Xuan accidentally saw that period of history, Wang Xuan didn't know what posture to use to laugh at that time.

Facing Sun Chuanting, who is not good at flattering, Wang Xuan had no choice but to go off the stage to guide himself, and waved away everyone around him, leaving only him and Sun Chuanting standing at the bow, and Wang Xuan said in a low voice: "Listen, remember Live, in the history books, this paragraph should be written like this, in the spring of the 48th year of Wanli, the liberator of the common people, the pioneer of the ocean, the leader of the new political system, the developer of the new continent, the great leader Wang Xuan, I heard that the people of the Japanese country did not have enough to eat and did not wear warm clothes , living in dire straits, could not help but shed tears."

"Immediately, under the ardent expectation of the people of the Japanese country and the entreaties of the envoys, they led hundreds of warships, exhausted all kinds of hardships and hardships, crossed the vast sea, and rescued the people of the Japanese country from freezing and starving to death. , from the brutal oppression and exploitation of the nobles, through arduous fighting, personally experienced the front line, took the lead, risked bows and arrows, and wore several wounds before saving the people of the Japanese country!"

"Of course, you don't have to copy it, you need to embellish it more." After finishing speaking, Wang Xuan looked at Sun Chuanting beside him, only to see that his eyes were almost protruding from the ground, and he looked at Wang Xuan with a look of collapse , he couldn't believe that those words just came from Wang Xuan's mouth.

I'm afraid it's not a fake!
In his impression, Wang Xuan is a straightforward person who hates nonsense and flattery. At least, during the time he has been with Wang Xuan, he has never seen anyone come to flatter him.

Even if there are a few people who are good at flattering, their personal ability is actually very strong, such as Fan Wencheng.

But what the hell is it that Wang Xuan said such a thing that he couldn't even describe it if he boasted about it? He couldn't believe it.

"No, what kind of expression do you have?" Damn it, Wang Xuan's face was troubled, Sun Chuanting really can't do things about this!

This expression made Wang Xuan himself blush a little.

"You are also a Confucian, don't you know what is the Spring and Autumn Brushwork!? This is the essence of Confucianism! Do you want to record that I took 5 people to the Japanese country for bloody killings, killing millions, and the blood flowed? The earth, there is no one inhabited for hundreds of miles, and no grass grows?"

"I, Wang Xuan, don't want to lose face!"

"Ah, ah!" Sun Chuanting finally came to his senses, this... really can't be written like this, it's simply not enough to describe it as a demon heretic!

Looking at Sun Chuanting, who finally understood how much he had come here, Wang Xuan was a little helpless. This person is too upright to be a bit annoying. No wonder later, he was determined not to join forces with his immediate superior Yang Sichang and other ministers of the court. In the end, he was imprisoned for three years and suffered all kinds of torture. .

"My lord, that..." Sun Chuanting stammered a few words before saying, "Is it really saving people and not killing people?"

"Of course it's to save people, but it's inevitable that some people will be killed or injured in a war." Wang Xuan said meaningfully.

Sun Chuanting obviously didn't understand the key point, just nodded silently, although he wondered why Wang Xuan had a very different attitude towards the Wa people and the Annan people.

The fleet drifted on the sea for about ten days, passed through a supply port, and finally arrived at the Ryukyu Kingdom. The King of Ryukyu greeted him at the pier with civil and military officials. On the same day, Wang Xuan cordially had a friendly talk with the King of Ryukyu and presented him with books , and signed a series of treaties.

The treaty stipulates that from now on, the Ryukyu country will abolish the Ryukyu language, use Chinese characters, speak Chinese, wear Chinese clothes, use Chinese customs... and so on a series of equal treaties.

After repairing and continuing to set off for one day, although there were occasional storms along the way, there were long-proven ports of call, all the way to the vicinity of Wa Kingdom, and divided into four fleets near the Osumi Strait, and the main fleet went straight to Kyushu Island.

……

Japan, Kyushu, Shimadzu.

Kyushu Island is divided into Chikuzen, Chikugo, Buzen, Bungo, Hizen, Higo, Hyuga, Satsuma, and Osumi. There are nine countries in total, so they are called Kyushu. Among them, the three countries of Hyuga, Satsuma, and Osumi are all under the control of Shimadzu. , In fact, if Otomo Zonglin hadn't invited Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had already taken control of the central government, to send 30 troops to attack Kyushu more than 25 years ago, the Shimadzu family would have almost completely controlled the entire Kyushu Island.

Yes, 25, known as "Kyushu Expedition" in history.

Of course, the so-called 25 army is almost all composed of farmers, so here we have to talk about the military system of the Wa Kingdom.

The so-called army is mainly composed of farmers, and the weapons used are mainly wooden hoes or bamboo spears. As for iron weapons, it is impossible.

Elite infantry, that is, ashigaru, are qualified to use weapons such as spears.

Because he can't get enough to eat, his combat effectiveness is very poor. Basically, he only has the ability to wave the flag and shout and make a strong momentum. Ashigaru can still fight on the battlefield.

In the army, the real main combat troops are samurai, those guys with braids, shaved hair in pieces, small flags on their backs, wearing bamboo armor, and holding samurai swords. , fast and ruthless, without leaving any room, what kind of one-shot style, one-shot slash, after all, there is not so much room for you to move around on the battlefield.

The samurai is a class, the lowest part of the nobles of the Japanese country. They are not engaged in production, but are supported by daimyo. They specialize in training killing skills. , is the most important form of expression of its national power.

Once the two countries go to war, the warriors who rush to the forefront are the main ones. Basically, if the warriors of one country are defeated, then the battle cannot be fought, and it will undoubtedly be defeated.

The reason for this is that the country of Wa is barren and unable to arm the army on a large scale like China.

At this moment, the Kagoshima pier was full of noise, and a large number of ashigaru mobilized from all directions were scattered around the pier in a chaotic manner. These people built shacks everywhere, and there was no unified plan. The more than 5000 people appeared to be disorganized.

(Well, it's been a long time, I haven't asked for a ticket or anything, isn't it a bit too serious, I'm officially asking for it today, ahem, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a recommendation, asking for a subscription, asking for a reward, it's the end of the month, give Wang Xuan has a good face!)
