Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

A Japanese soldier fell directly from the Sunrise.

The bamboo armor on their bodies was simply unable to block the impact of the projectiles at such a close distance.

Chapter 553 The Grandson is Here

More than a dozen shuttle boats, like a pack of wolves, kept circling around the Sunrise.

The small number of flintlock rifles that the South China Sea Navy had just been equipped with caused the Japanese soldiers on the ship to complain bitterly.

"Boom, bang!"

An eagle's claw suddenly appeared at the stern of the Sunrise.

A Japanese soldier saw this and shouted, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was hit in the chest by a bullet.

A moment later, Yang Tiansheng's figure had climbed onto the Sunrise.

"Bang bang bang..."

Several eagle claw hooks were thrown up one after another, and the Ming soldiers followed closely behind, pulling the ropes.

When the shooting turned into close combat, the outcome of the battle was no longer suspenseful.

The average height per person is 1.5 meters, while the average height per person above is 1.7 meters......

The scene was like a father abusing his son!

"Baga...give me the duck!"

Kaikou Matsuko was standing at the door of the sparrow room. When he saw this scene, he rushed down with a Japanese sword in hand.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tiansheng chopped the Japanese soldier in front of him to the ground with a single blow of his sword, and then rushed towards him.

"Paralyze you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up suddenly, used his left foot to gain leverage on the side of the boat, turned his body 720 degrees in the air, and suddenly shot out the dagger in his right hand.

"puff!"

Kaikou Songzi had just walked halfway down the stairs when he felt a chill in his chest.

I looked down subconsciously and saw that there was a knife handle on my chest!

As for the blade, it completely pierced through the chest...

"Nah, nah, nani..."

He stared at the hilt of the knife in a daze, his face full of disbelief...

Then, his body trembled violently, and large amounts of blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

The whole person rolled down the stairs like a gourd.

Yang Tiansheng didn't even look at his body. After another running start, he used the side of the ship and the stairs to gain leverage, as if doing parkour, and reached the top of the cabin in no time.

Then he shouted to the Japanese soldiers who were still resisting on the deck.

"Everyone, kneel down to avoid death!"

He was born into a maritime merchant family and could speak a few words of Japanese.

He shouted these words in Japanese.

Long-range artillery can’t reach it, and medium-range bows and arrows can’t defeat it.

Now that they were also suppressed in close combat, the remaining Japanese soldiers had no will to fight again.

When someone accidentally saw Kaikou Matsuko's body and heard these words, he immediately dropped the weapon in his hand.

“Don’t kill me….”

"I surrender..."

It took less than half an hour from the start of the battle to the surrender of the entire ship.

The Japanese soldiers on the Nikko ship not far away were stunned!

When they came to their senses and wanted to run, they found that more shuttle boats rushed out from the navy fleet and surrounded them layer by layer like dumplings.

I wanted to run again, but there was no chance anymore.

The rest can only stretch their necks to be slaughtered, or kneel down and surrender.

Two galleons worth thousands of taels of silver were incorporated into the South China Sea Navy.

On the Black Turtle, looking at the Sun and Moon flags rising on Galen's ship, Li Guozhu asked casually.

"My Lord, do you want to destroy the Satsuma Domain's dock in one fell swoop?"

Zheng Zhilong smiled and waved his hands: "No hurry! Let them jump around a little more."

"By the way, send a few Japanese soldiers back to report to the Shimazu family."

Li Guozhu understood immediately: "Master, do you want to go fishing?"

Zheng Zhilong picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Of course!"

"After this battle, Wakoku will become Wafu, and that is our Ming territory."

"If we damage houses, cities, and docks on land, won't we have to spend money to repair them?"

Zheng Zhibao muttered beside him: "Spending money is the Ministry of Revenue's business, what does it have to do with us..."

Zheng Zhilong slapped him in the face with his backhand: "Are you stupid?"

"The Ministry of Revenue is so poor that all the money is spent on repairing houses. Where will our salaries come from?"

"Is the Ministry of Revenue...poor?"

Zheng Zhibao was beaten and took a few steps back with his neck shrunk.

"I heard that Guo Laokou sent people to collect taxes in Jiangnan. In less than three months, he collected tens of millions of taels of silver..."

Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say?"

"The court has started to collect business taxes. Mr. Guo is very ruthless. He starts with 30%!" Zheng Zhibao said as he stretched out three fingers and explained timidly.

"I told you this a few days ago, but you were so busy hanging out with your sister-in-law that you didn't listen..."

Zheng Zhilong:.........

After a while, he shouted outside the cabin: "Someone, bring me some pen and ink!"

Then he wrote a memorial and sent it out.

The memorial was full of complaints about poverty, and in a roundabout way, it asked the Ministry of War for ships, cannons, guns, etc.

The fleet then stopped near the coast of Kagoshima, dropped anchor and stationed.

The first day was calm and nothing happened.

Same thing the next day.

On the third day, several small boats appeared from a distance, but before they could react, they were surrounded by a group of shuttle boats.

The fate of the ship was the same as that of the Sunrise, the ship was seized and only one Japanese was released to deliver a letter.

Since the Japanese soldiers who were sent back twice were unable to see the full picture of the South China Sea Navy fleet, after receiving the news, the lord of Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Tadatsune, although cautious, still sent out all the warships under his command.

Satsuma Domain is located at the southernmost tip of Japan, the closest place to China. It is also the first choice for Western caravans to trade in Japan.

Under such conditions, the navy of Satsuma Domain was generally much stronger than that of other domains.

This also led to a saying later.

The navy of Satsuma and the army of Choshu.

The fleet sent by Satsuma Domain consisted of seven galleons, ten Atakabune ships and various small boats, totaling more than one hundred ships. At noon on the fourth day, it appeared on the sea surface in a mighty manner.

On the Black Turtle, Yang Tiansheng was sitting bored on the top of the cabin with his legs crossed on the guardrail, chewing nuts and drinking wine, acting like a real lord.

Suddenly, he saw a flag waving faintly on the sentry boat in the distance. He sat up straight and held the telescope close to his eyes.

After a moment, he stood up suddenly, supported himself on the guardrail, flipped over and jumped down, and pushed open the door of the bird room excitedly.

"Master, they are coming! Shimazu's grandson's fleet is coming!"

"There are more than a hundred ships. We are going to make a lot of money this time!"

Inside the mahjong room, upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong stretched out his fingers and snapped them.

"Let Yang Liu and Yang Qi each lead ten lucky ships and go over to seduce them!"

"After a feint attack, retreat while fighting!"

"Let's go ahead and wait for them at Black Island!"

Chapter 554 He chases, he escapes

As Zheng Zhilong's order was issued, twenty Fujian ships lined up and moved forward, while the Black Turtle turned around on the spot and headed towards the Black Island a hundred miles away.

Shimazu Tadatsune, as the lord of Satsuma Domain, once followed his father to fight in Korea in the eighth year of the Wanli reign.

If the Ming Dynasty had not intervened at that time, Korea would have been incorporated into Japan's territory.

From this perspective, this guy is also a good fighter.

Although, in life, I lose more than I win...

But longevity is also his biggest win.

Because even though his father passed the position of family head to him 16 years ago, he has never given up power.

It was not until nine years ago that he successfully outlasted his father and truly took control of the Shimazu family, becoming the true lord of Satsuma.

Standing on the galleon with the words "Zhahua" painted on it, looking at the twenty Fukusen ships sailing towards them in the distance, Shimazu Tadatsune's eyes were filled with a strong possessiveness.

This is the Ming people’s ship!

It is twice as big as his own ship!

Damn Ming people!

How could they build such a big ship!

It would be fine if they could build it, but they refused to pass on the skills of building such a large ship to the Japanese craftsmen. This is really too hateful!

Not only that, several waves of warriors he sent to steal the skills were all killed in the shipyard by Ming craftsmen.

When he thought of this, Shimazu Tadatsune felt so angry that his teeth itched!

"One hundred to twenty, the advantage is on my side!"

"Pass my order, surround them, and keep these ships for me today!"

"Hai!"

Afterwards, the Shimazu fleet changed its formation and surrounded Yang Liu and Yang Qi like a big open hand.

On the Fu ship, after seeing the other side's actions, Yang Liu immediately ordered his soldiers to fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

The South China Sea Navy was not as stingy as the Sunrise. As soon as the gun port was opened, it fired a salvo.

Twenty ships opened fire almost simultaneously.

The shells landed on the sea, and the splashing water columns rose one after another, which was a spectacular sight.

From a distance, Shimazu Tadatsune saw this scene and grimaced in pain.

"It's all mine!"

"How dare they waste shells and gunpowder like this!"

"It's so ridiculous!"

"Hurry up and pass the order, surround them quickly!"

"Whoever can bring me a boat back will be promoted to a warrior and given ten slave girls as a reward!"

As the saying goes, there is always a brave man when there is a big reward.

As soon as the samurai's temptation was thrown out, the Japanese soldiers immediately became aroused as if they had taken an aphrodisiac, and the oars were almost shaken out of shadows.
