- It is obvious that the Japanese military is very strong.
As a former pirate leader, Zheng Zhilong certainly knew the strength of the Japanese country very well.
¡°Compared to many people, he knows the military strength and weakness of Japan.
It was precisely because he knew this that he was so shocked when he heard that the Song Empire was able to defeat Japan and cede Kyushu.
"Don't look at the look on his face when he told his cousin Zheng Tianlang this matter now. That's because he has been digesting this matter for a while.
When he heard the news, his reaction was not so calm.
On the contrary, he is similar to his cousin Zheng Tianlang who is sitting across from him now, with a grown-up and silly look.
"What! This is called the Song Dynasty, and it actually defeated the Japanese and ceded Kyushu!"
When Zheng Tianlang said these words, his voice changed a little.
No wonder he was really surprised.
In fact, when the court elders received the news from Japan, they all expressed shock.
Although in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty elders, the Japanese country was a barbaric land.
However, the military in this barbaric land is still relatively outstanding.
Being able to make the Japanese suffer such a big loss shows that the Song Empire was not that weak.
Otherwise, how could the Japanese cede Kyushu?
You must know that when the Japanese invaded Korea, the Ming Dynasty sent more than 200,000 troops to help the Koreans fight against the Japanese. Although the main force was the Ming army, the Koreans also assembled more than 180,000 troops.
On the other hand, how many troops did the Japanese have at that time?
There are less than 300,000 people.
At that time, the combined armies of the Ming and Korean troops exceeded 400,000.
There are hundreds of thousands more than the Japanese.
But even though it had a huge military advantage and finally won the war, the Ming army also paid a heavy price.
Half of the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and many people were buried in other places.
Of course, it is certain that the Koreans are not effective as friendly forces. After all, the fighting power of the Koreans is not as powerful as shown in their later movies and TV series.
Although the Japanese lost the war at that time, the Ming Dynasty and the Koreans had no way to let the Japanese lose their territory as the defeated party.
On the other hand, the Song Dynasty, which came out of nowhere, actually got involved in such a thing.
Therefore, how could it be possible not to shock the elders in the court?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Japanese!
It¡¯s not the kind of existence that can be taken advantage of casually.
The Song State was actually able to take Kyushu from the Japanese. I think this Song State is definitely not easy to deal with.
"Is this news accurate?"
After Zheng Tianlang was briefly shocked, he finally came to his senses.
Zheng Zhilong nodded slowly: "When I was in the capital, the news was handed over by an old person from a certain cabinet, so it is absolutely reliable. Don't doubt this, and there is news that Li Xiang has defected to this so-called The Song people have become the naval commanders of Kyushu."
What!
Zheng Tianlang¡¯s heart, which had calmed down, started beating faster again.
"Brother, are you sure what you said? Li Xiang, this half-dead guy who has been dealt with by us, is it possible that he is really a salted fish and has been reborn?"
When he heard Zheng Zhilong say that Li Xiang had defected to the so-called Song Dynasty people and became the commander-in-chief of the Kyushu Navy, Zheng Tianlang felt very incredible.
You know, Li Xiang is already half dead.
After three or four years of fighting between them, Zheng Zhilong finally gained the upper hand.
??Especially last year, the battle in Naha was even more nerve-wracking for Li Xiang. It was also from that time that the maritime power in the East began to dominate.
Li Xiang also began to become alienated from relatives.
On the contrary, Zheng Zhilong's power is getting stronger and stronger.
It seems that Zheng Zhilong can already be regarded as the maritime overlord in the East.
And Li Xiang is just an old man who will fall down with just a little push from Zheng Zhilong¡¯s little finger.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Li Xiang would have taken advantage of the victory and killed him after the battle with Naha, he would have killed Li Xiang completely.
Originally I just thought that keeping Li Xiang, who could be disposed of at any time, could serve as a deterrent to the court.
It also saves some big shots in the DPRK and China from giving themselves a try.
In Zheng Zhilong¡¯s view, it is impossible for Li Xiang to turn over.
To deal with him, you only need to use your mouth.
"Even, there is no need to do it yourself, the Japanese can solve this problem for themselves.
What I have to say is that Zheng Zhilong¡¯s idea was very good, but the reality hit him mercilessly.
Li Xiang, who everyone thought would never be able to turn around again, turned out to be the naval commander of Kyushu, and even relied on the Song Empire who appeared out of nowhere.
It¡¯s really beyond his imagination!
Zheng Zhilong also felt that this matter was beginning to exceed his expectation, so he was extremely confused.
"Wang Renzeng did not lose unjustly. He heard that Li Xiang got the Song people's ship and defeated him easily. At the same time, the merchants who came back from the Japanese country also said that the Song people's ships were extremely sharp and better than ours. Warships are much sharper."
Zheng Zhilong¡¯s expression was very serious, and he told his cousin bit by bit.
It is impossible that what Zhao Hongyu and his friends did in Japan would not be spread to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom were only separated by a strait, not to mention that there were many maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty going to the Japanese Kingdom to do business. So how could we not know anything about what happened in Japan?
You know, after Zhao Hongyu arrived at the Japanese side, he caused quite a stir.
Especially after forcing the shogunate and the court to come up with an agreement to cede Kyushu, he led an army to Kyushu and launched a war with the thirteen daimyo of Kyushu. This could not be concealed.
"What is the origin of this Song Empire?"
Zheng Tianlang asked.
After Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while, he responded to his cousin: "I heard that they are descendants of the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago. After they were defeated by the Mongols, a group of royal descendants took a boat to the mainland east of the Japanese country. Then he took root there.¡±
The information that Zheng Zhilong knew was actually deliberately spread by Zhao Hongyu and others in the Japanese country. Therefore, as those Ming Dynasty businessmen who were doing business in the Japanese country when Zhao Hongyu was causing trouble in the Japanese country came back, this matter and information were also brought Come back.
¡°After all, this thing sounds so mysterious, and it¡¯s much more interesting than a story.
¡° Moreover, it is full of all kinds of gossip and sexual things.
Descendants of the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago!
Crossing the ocean to take root in America, fighting the ferocious natives there, and then re-continuing the bloodline of Zhao and Song Dynasty and the destiny of the country.
For the people of this Ming Dynasty, which lacks entertainment, this is an excellent after-dinner conversation starter.
What's more, as a neighbor, Daming also needs to grasp the affairs of the Japanese country in a timely manner, so everything that happens in the Japanese country is known to the big guys in the DPRK and China.
As the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy, Zheng Zhilong was also instructed by the big guys in the DPRK to reveal some inside information, which gave him a general understanding.
The reason is simple, Li Xiang.
Zheng Tianlang's expression became extremely serious at this moment, because Zheng Zhilong talked about the Song Dynasty's warships.
The Zheng family started their business by relying on sea ships. As pirates, they value sea ships even more than gold and silver.
"Oh, brother, do you know the inside story about this?"
Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "It's just hearsay. I have never seen it with my own eyes. But I heard from the Franji people that the Song Empire fought with the Franji people in America and killed them until they were unable to fight back. Even the royal court of the Franji people was wiped out. So everyone in Franji over there in Nanyang was panic-stricken and came to me hoping to talk to the court. They wanted to join the Ming Dynasty and become subjects of the Ming Dynasty."
"Hmph! These guys with blue eyes and yellow hair also want to be my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. What a beautiful idea." Zheng Tianlang said disdainfully after hearing this. Obviously, Zheng Tianlang looked down on Franji Ren from the bottom of his heart.
"We don't need to worry about the Franji people. I just want to know whether the Song people's maritime power is really that strong." Zheng Zhilong's eyes flickered.
"Brother, what do you mean? Is it possible that we have to go meet those Song people?"
Zheng Tianlang asked after hearing this.
"No, going head-on is not a wise choice, but we can test it out." Zheng Zhilong smiled darkly, and then said to his cousin. "The Fujian Navy does notIf you don't move, don't move our fleet in the dark. Just pick a few powerful leaders and let them go to Jiuzhou to get it, and weigh the Song people's weight. "
"If the Song people on the Kyushu side are vulnerable, then we can just launch an offensive to occupy Kyushu in the name of killing the pirate Li Xiang. Anyway, Kyushu has been ceded by the Japanese court. If we can defeat the Song people and capture Kyushu, Kyushu will be able to conquer Kyushu in the future. This is our own territory.¡±
Speaking of this matter, Zheng Zhilong couldn¡¯t hide the excitement on his face.
"When the time comes, we will occupy Kyushu, connect Korea to the north, and see Nanyang to the south, and the imperial court has no way to send people to Kyushu. In the end, it will appoint our brothers to be stationed in Kyushu." Zheng Zhilong's little abacus crackled. "And I occupy a large piece of territory for the imperial court. I don't think the imperial court will blame me and even reward me greatly. Hehehe, all the good things are mine!"
"As far as Zheng Zhilong's plan is concerned, it is still very good.
It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t know how powerful the Song Empire is, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be happy so early.
"Well, Dad's method is good. I think it's pretty good. I just don't know when to start?"
Zheng Tianlang thought about it and asked after hearing this.
"The sooner the better. Although Li Xiang can be regarded as a comeback now, his current strength is definitely not too strong. We must give him a fatal blow before he can truly recover. !¡±
Zheng Zhilong said with hatred. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
