Domineering Daming

What they can do is to form a line in Utu County to block the way of Wa Kingdom going south.

For the Ming Dynasty, they don't want a decisive battle, especially Dorgon, his army is so large, and the loss is distressed.For Yang Sichang, the troops deployed by Da Ming this time belonged to the servant army, not the elite of Da Ming, and they also couldn't afford to lose, so they have been trying to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest victory.

As for the Wa country, they deeply understand the strength of the Ming Dynasty. They used to be afraid of firearms and the navy, but now they know the terrifying combat power of the Ming army, let alone a decisive battle.

Therefore, the Wa Kingdom is seeking to win a battle, and the strategy is to destroy the most important transfer station of the Ming Dynasty, Tsushima Island.

Without Tsushima Island, there would be a big problem with the supply of the Ming Dynasty. It took nearly a month to go back and forth, and this month was enough for the Wa Kingdom to establish a victory.

In this way, it is difficult for the two sides to figure out their strategies for each other without knowing what is going on.

Dorgon and the others set up their formations, ready to meet Aoyama Tadatoshi, no matter whether Aoyama Tadatoshi has another conspiracy or really wants a decisive battle, their policy is to stay the same and respond to all changes.

The coalition forces of Tadatoshi Aoyama and Shigemasa Itakura did not go out of the five Western Kaido countries, and the gates of the Kanmon Strait were still closed, dignified and dignified.

Tsushima Island.

At night, Tsushima Island is still brightly lit, and singing is everywhere. With the entry of the Ming Dynasty, the corvee was light, the tax was light, and various projects were invested, and business and trade with North Korea were frequent. In just a few years, it was still quite prosperous.

The prostitutes of the Japanese country were singing and dancing, singing and dancing, and there were warriors of the Japanese country in various clothes, singing and singing there while drunk, with disheveled clothes and no manners.

These people are not samurai from Tsushima Island, but also from all over the Wa Kingdom. This place is prosperous and prosperous, and there is no internal restraint in the Wa Kingdom. Money is easy to earn. As long as you have money, you can have everything. It is simply a paradise in dreams.

In these brothels, there are not only Japanese warriors, but also people from North Korea and Ryukyu. Most of them are businessmen, and they are equally extravagant.

Of course, there are also those from the Ming Dynasty. Due to the strict control of brothels in China, they found a sense of freedom here, and they were unwilling to leave when they came here. Therefore, the brothels on Tsushima Island were extremely popular, catching up with both sides of the Qinhuai River.

These are all on the island. In the largest port of Tsushima Island, there are tall watchtowers everywhere, torches everywhere, patrolling soldiers coming and going, and the guards are quite tight.

Less than two miles away from the port, it is the most important base of the navy, where most of the fleet for the conquest of Japan is moored, and the [-] navy is also stationed here.

As the night darkened, the base also became quieter and quieter, and the lights flickered, making it look extraordinarily quiet.

Cao Bianjiao was not at the base at this time, but in the "Prefect Yamen" on Tsushima Island, which was rebuilt from the original Tsushima feudal city, with a distinctive Ming and Japanese interlaced style.

Yang Sichang, Cao Bianjiao, Qian Jinxiao, He Xilian and others gathered together to study the countermeasures of the Japanese kingdom.

"It's been more than two months, and there have been quite a few voices from the imperial court." Qian Jinxiao said with a solemn expression.

Sun Chuanting is committed to promoting the "New Deal", breaking the 200-year-old pattern of the Ming Dynasty, and reshaping the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, his energy cannot always be involved in the battle against the Japanese. The cabinet under the leadership of Sun Chuanting is very dissatisfied with Yang Sichang's lack of progress in the past few months. , There have been quite a few noises.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Yang Sichang's face was a little tired, and he said in a tone of self-criticism: "I underestimated the Japanese kingdom. The strategy of the commander-in-chief is correct. The military power of the Japanese kingdom should be consumed on Jiuguo Island, and we should not rush for success."

He Xilian opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency, don't blame yourself. The Wa country looks small, but it has great potential. It is an island. We have no experience. The emperor didn't say anything. We still trust the governor."

Yang Sichang nodded slightly, and said: "Let's not talk about these things for now. I will file a complaint with the commander's mansion, the cabinet, and the emperor in the future. Right now, I still need to find a way to eliminate Zhongjun Qingshan and break through the Guanmen Strait."

Cao Bianjiao knew Yang Sichang's predicament, that is, lack of troops, tied his hands and feet, thought for a while, and said: "Governor, the navy has been training for landing operations, that is, the Marine Corps. At present, there are [-] elites. Listen to the tune."

Yang Sichang looked at him and said with a smile: "Thank you, General Cao, for your kindness. This navy is not only the treasure of Governor Xiong, but also the heart of the emperor. We can't lose at all. Besides, it's not yet that time. Master Qian, what do you say?" Let's talk about the battle."

Qian Jinxiao raised his hand and said: "My lord, the staff office has deduced several tactics of Tadatoshi Aoyama, but none of them should be. Now, I have given a suggestion, that is, Ezo Island can send troops."

Sending troops to Ezo Island is to land directly on the Mutsu Clan and set foot on the Honguku Island. This situation will change drastically, and the pressure on the Wa Kingdom will greatly increase.

The danger is that if the Mongolian army led by Horqin Great Khan Badali is revealed, it may affect the morale of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Sichang shook his head and said, "It's not yet time, have you found Qingshan Zhongjun's position?"

Qian Jinxiao said: "He sent 1 people to join Itakura Shigesho and move southward, but the specific situation is still unclear. Dorgon and the Military Intelligence Department have conducted multiple investigations, but there is no result yet."

He Xilian sighed inwardly, and said, "Even though Emperor Mizuo gave a list, it hasn't been delivered yet, at least two days away."

Yang Sichang leaned on the chair, his heart was under great pressure, he let out a breath secretly, his face was calm and calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Then wait for another two days, I want to see what kind of trick Qingshan Zhongjun is playing, and I can eat it in one bite." I can't!"

Not only Yang Sichang didn't believe it, Cao Bianjiao, Qian Jinxiao and others didn't believe it either, it's just a fantasy!

While Yang Sichang and others were discussing, outside Tsushima Island harbor, ships quietly appeared in the darkness, like dormant giant beasts on the quiet sea, silently walking towards the naval base of the Ming Dynasty.

On the bow, Nobutsuna Matsudaira, dressed in black, held a telescope and stared at the sporadic torches that gradually appeared in the dark night.

Standing beside him was a young man with a broad face, big eyes and quite tall stature, not at all like the short Japanese.

He said, "Mr. Songping, are you sure?"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna turned around and said in a respectful gesture, "Don't worry, Ruodian, we have the military layout and defense plans of the Ming Dynasty, and we also know their schedules. There are not many people on this island. As long as we succeed in sneak attack, Tsushima is ours."

Matsudaira Nobuzuna's tone was calm, steady, and gave people a sense of trust. Tokugawa Hideto smiled and said, "I naturally trust Matsudaira-kun."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna smiled and directed the fleet towards the naval base of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the only navy of the Wa Kingdom, which was quietly formed with the support of the Xiyi people. Thirty warships, a 3000-man navy, and 3 people supported by Aoyama Tadatoshi are all here.

If this battle is won, the country's fortunes will continue, and it can develop further. If it is lost, the consequences will be unpredictable.

This is a big gamble, a gamble of the fate of the country that was determined a few years ago!

Seeing Tokugawa Hidehito go, Matsudaira Nobuzuna looked at Tsushima Island again, the looming Ming Dynasty naval base, and his face was serene.

These fleets came without a sound, and it was the time of the Ming army's sea ban. They sailed on the sea without any movement, and there was no way to find them on the shore.

At the base, the soldiers on the watchtower walked around, watching the sea from time to time, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

In the base, some figures shuttled back and forth, secretly preparing for something.

Chapter 1369 Everything is Ready

Nobuzuna Matsudaira quietly pushed into the naval base of the Ming Dynasty with [-] warships, and the samurai soldiers of the shogunate stood standing beside them.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face was livid, and his eyes shot with murderous intent.

He held it for too long, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out of his chest. Now, the time has finally come.

The watchtower of the Ming Dynasty is looming, and the flickering lights appear deserted and chilling in the dark.

But the people on the watchtower couldn't see them, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna's fleet sailed close to the sea, completely dark and silent.

"Closer, closer, a little closer..."

Nobutsuna Matsudaira stood at the bow of the front ship, looking at the Ming Dynasty military port that seemed close at hand, his eyes flickered, and he shouted in his heart.

At this time, Tokugawa Hidetoshi also appeared in front of Matsudaira Nobuzuna, with a calm expression and a look of doubt in his eyes.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira didn't pay attention to him, seeing that his fleet had sailed into the Daming military port, seeing the large ships of the Ming Dynasty approaching in front of him, he was extremely excited, raised his hands tremblingly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Attack! "

Puff puff!
