    With Matsudaira Kubo¡¯s shout, his Imperial Army rushed into Kaneda Castle like crazy!

    The Imperial Alliance Army, which had received permission to massacre the city, had now turned into crazy beasts. They waved their swords and spears, killing men when they saw them, and pounced on women like wild beasts when they saw them!

    Geng Zhongming did not pay attention to what happened in Jintian City. In his opinion, Matsudaira Kubo was a Japanese, and the Zong clan in Jintian City was also a Japanese. Since it was a Japanese who killed a Japanese, he naturally did not need to pay more attention!

    So Geng Zhongming sent out more than a thousand marines under his command to search for the people hiding on the island. In Geng Zhongming's opinion, these people were the best slaves, and they could make a lot of money by selling them directly to the maritime merchants who came with them.  silver!

    When night falls, Tsushima Island is full of fire. The Ming Dynasty¡¯s army and Matsudaira Kubo¡¯s Imperial Army are burning and killing everywhere. The people of Tsushima Island have nowhere to escape and can only endure what happens!

    But later, these panicked people discovered that as long as they knelt down and begged for mercy, they would not be killed, so most of the people no longer ran away, but obediently knelt on the ground and waited for punishment. Among them was the Muhai family!

    Matsudaira Kubo was really a sensible guy. That night he sent Geng Zhongming 500,000 taels of silver and two girls aged 12 or 13. Geng Zhongming naturally accepted the money and asked the military police officer to register it, but the girl was dismissed by him.  Go back!

    According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, raping and promiscuous women is a serious crime. Although Zhu Youxiao issued a "slaughter restriction order" this time, which is a disguised form of allowing the expeditionary army to kill, other military regulations have not been lifted. Therefore, under the guidance of the military police officer  Under his nose, Geng Zhongming did not dare to blatantly violate military regulations!

    Moreover, Geng Zhongming discovered through this incident that not only the Imperial Army had turned into mad dogs, but there were also people in the Marines who were ready to make moves. In order to rein in the Marines' beasts, Geng Zhongming released the military police overnight and strictly reiterated military discipline, and then ordered the Marines to  The evil fire in the team was suppressed, and at the same time, the Imperial Alliance Army also restrained a lot!

    But Geng Zhongming also discovered that it was easy to capture Tsushima Island, but it was not easy to completely eliminate Tsushima Island. After all, Tsushima Island was a small archipelago composed of five islands. It would take a long time to clean out the Japanese on the entire Tsushima Island.  It can¡¯t be done in ten days and a half!

    "Alas! I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the attack on Edo Castle!" Geng Zhongming looked helplessly at the burning Kaneda Castle and sighed helplessly!

    Just when Geng Zhongming was clearing Tsushima Island, Cao Ling had already led the expeditionary force's main fleet of 307 warships and more than 200 merchant ships to support the fleet. A total of more than 500 ships appeared in the waters off Edo Bay.  As soon as they arrived here, they encountered the Japanese shogunate Kanfune patrolling the sea!

    Since Christianity caused a lot of troubles in Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate cracked down hard on Christianity, which also prompted the Tokugawa shogunate to gradually close the sea. Although the Tokugawa shogunate has not yet reached the point of completely banning the sea, it has  A decree was issued that, except for Ming Dynasty ships, other Western maritime merchants could only trade in Osaka and Hirado!

    In order to maintain the ban on sea closures, the Tokugawa shogunate sent a large number of Kanfune ships for inspection. It is not unusual for Cao Ling's expeditionary fleet to encounter patrol ships!

    Therefore, Cao Ling didn't pay attention at all after receiving the report. Although the Japanese had as many as five Guan ships patrolling the sea, Cao Ling only ordered two newly built Galen ships to attack!

    The two Galen ships are smaller than Cao Ling's flagship "Blood Flag", but they can also fight far more than the Japanese Guan ship. What's more, the ships are also equipped with thirty steel Folan cannons!

    This kind of Western artillery with muskets was first introduced to the Ming Dynasty during the Zhengde period. Later, in August of the first year of Jiajing, the Ming Navy went to war with the Portuguese and captured a batch of them. Because this type of artillery was very powerful in battle, the Ming Dynasty  Then start copying!

    However, the Ming Dynasty did not simply copy the cat and imitate the tiger. Instead, it gradually derived a variety of Folan cannons based on the captured Portuguese Folan cannons. Among them, Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Jixiao" recorded five types of Folan cannons, large, medium and small.  gun!

    In fact, the Ming Dynasty was extremely enthusiastic about the improvement, innovation and production of Folang machine guns. During the Jiajing period alone, the Bingzhan Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau and the border garrison produced large-scale Folang machine guns, medium-type Folang machine guns,  There are more than ten kinds of Folan cannons such as small prototype Folan machine, cavalry Folan machine, Folan machine meteor cannon, Baidu Folan machine, Wansheng Folang machine, continuous Folan machine, invincible general cannon, steel hair cannon, etc.

    The total number has reached as many as 30,000 to 40,000. These Folan cannons are used as naval guns, urban defense guns, tank guns, field guns, infantry guns, cavalry guns, etc. It can be said that after Jiajing, various models of Folan cannons were used  It has become the main firearm equipment of the Ming army.

    Of course, later on, the Ming craftsman system collapsed, and evenThe firearms manufactured by ?? were so rough that they either failed to fire or exploded. Eventually, the originally advanced firearms were gradually replaced by old-fashioned cold weapons in the Ming army!

    After Zhu Youxiao traveled through time, he improved the treatment of craftsmen, and also reclassified the complicated Franco cannons. Among them, the small Franco cannons used as muskets were directly replaced by flintlock muskets!

    The naval guns, field guns, and fortress guns respectively use the two large Folan cannons and the invincible general cannon recorded in the "New Book of Jixiao". Among them, the Folan cannon as a naval gun is nine feet long and weighs 500 meters.  Jin, the projectiles are solid bullets or blooming bullets, the projectiles weigh one kilogram, and the charge is also one kilogram!

    The field Folang machine gun is eight feet long and weighs 370 kilograms. The projectiles are divided into solid bullets and blooming bullets. The projectiles weigh 10 taels and the charge is 11 taels. At the same time, a wheeled gun mount is installed to facilitate maneuvering in the field. This kind of  Field artillery, steel artillery, and steel tiger crouching artillery have become the standard heavy firepower output units of the Ming Dynasty Army!

    Equipped with such artillery, the warships of the Ming Navy can be said to be as good as the most advanced naval countries in the West in terms of rate of fire and power. However, what the Ming Navy lacks most now is actual combat experience!

    However, Zhu Youxiao also solved this problem accordingly. He just took out the two magic weapons of the British Empire's Linear Array and Unified Aiming, and raised the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty Navy to a higher level!

    The two galenic ships ordered to go into battle this time were the "Endeavour" and the "Shenyong". The captains and sailors on board were all good players in the Liaodong Navy. Although they had only adapted to the new ship for two months, they had already fully adapted to it.  Mastered the capabilities of Galen's ship!

    At the same time, these captains and sailors also continued to practice the coordination of linear arrays, aimers and other artillery pieces according to the training outline given by Zhu Youxiao. It can be said that although the training time is not long, the results are still there!

    The two warships that received the combat order immediately sailed out of the fleet. Under the envious eyes of their companions, they lined up one after another and rushed towards the Japanese ship that was still in a trap!

    Strictly speaking, the Japanese Kansai ship is not suitable for naval battles, because the Kansai ship itself is like a big box floating on the sea. When engaging the enemy, the sails must be furled, the mast must be lowered, and then the ship must be leaned on  The sailors rushed up with oars, and the main means of attack were horns and the bows and arrows and fire guns of the soldiers on the ship!

    Such speed and firepower are like toys in front of the Galen ship, and the Japanese's tactics are also very backward. They actually formed five Guan ships into a formation of two in front and three in back, heading towards the Fenyong and Shenyong.  Come on!

    Fenyong and Shenyong were not polite to these Japanese people. The two ships changed their direction in a tacit understanding and sailed parallel to the five Japanese ships. Seeing this, the Japanese ship also changed its direction!

    However, the manpower-driven speed of the Guan ship was simply too slow. Just as they were turning, the Fengyong, which passed the W. Guan ship array first, opened fire first. Fourteen artillery pieces on one side roared at the same time, and fourteen solid shells were fired.  The shells roared towards the enemy ship which was less than 200 steps away!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
