Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

(Let me mention here that the warships of that period were actually very small.)

(It can be seen as a modified fishing boat with several cannons installed.)

(Even Zheng Zhilong’s flagship is a large fishing boat.)

(It is incomparable to professional ships like Zheng He’s treasure ship.)

(So ​​although the quantity is large, the actual cost is not high.)

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

"Baga! Where did the ship come from!"

"Run quickly, Ming Dynasty's fleet is coming!"

night...

Edo port.

As the ignited canisters flew into the harbor.

The flames spread wildly in the sky, blown by the sea breeze.

Transformed into fiery snakes and spitting fiery tongues all around!

"General!"

"Oh no!"

"The Ming Dynasty's fleet is setting fire to the harbor."

At this time, Tokugawa Fuchu was in Edo Castle.

Tokugawa Iemitsu had been woken up at this time, and his face suddenly darkened when he heard the news from his subordinates.

Damn it, you really dare to come!

"Send the order and let the people of Edo do their best to put out the fire."

"Those Ming Dynasty fleets don't dare to land, they have to run away after release."

"Damn it, find a way to notify Tokugawa Youmaru and ask him to block this fleet from behind! Eat him!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu really didn't expect that Ming Manzi's fleet would be so courageous.

He had just guessed before, but he didn't realize that Ming Manzi's fleet would risk coming to Edo.

Damn it, aren't they afraid of being blocked by Tokugawa Youmaru who is driving back?

You are crazy to want military glory!

At this time, on the sea not far from Edo.

Xu Xinsu was standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery in front of her with a contented expression.

"Everything should be done quickly!"

"It's almost the Chinese New Year. The dwarfs of the Japanese country don't follow the rules, but we people of the Ming Dynasty have to be polite."

"Just think of it as wishing Japan a happy life!"

"Wish them all prosperity!"

Hearing his boss's words, all the generals around him couldn't help laughing.

This is indeed prosperous enough.

The sea of ​​​​fire in front of them has already been burning towards Edo Castle, fearing that many houses will be destroyed.

However, no one present felt any emotion in their hearts.

If you dare to provoke Daming, this will be the consequences!

The fleet's attack lasted for half an hour.

When all the ammunition was empty, Xu Xinsu tsked and greeted everyone.

Calculating the time, the main force of Tokugawa Youmaru should soon arrive near Japan.

If you don't leave, you risk being intercepted.

After taking a final look at Edo, which was still burning, Xu Xinsu immediately ordered the fleet to turn southeast and avoid the Japanese fleet's return route.

Less than half a day had passed since Xu Xinsu left the Edo area.

Off the coast of Edo, the vanguard led by Tokugawa Youmaru finally came back.

In order to return support as quickly as possible.

Tokugawa Youmaru concentrated all the supplies on the main force behind.

He took six hundred speedboats and ran back under the stars and night.

However...

Looking at the charred ruins around Edo.

Tokugawa Youmaru knew that he was still a step too late...

Not only Edo, but also Shimizu Port, not far from Edo, was also targeted.

Calculated in this way, the Japanese country did not make a cent this time but still managed to gain access to three ports, hundreds of private houses, and hundreds of warships of various sizes.

The total loss is probably close to 300 million taels of silver.

Stepping on the still smoking ruins.

Tokugawa Youmaru came to Tokugawa Mansion with some anxiety.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tokugawa Iemitsu sitting on the ground, his eyes closed and his whole body full of anger!

"Homeowner..."

"I..."

Tokugawa Youmaru hurriedly knelt down and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

In the final analysis, he was also responsible for the attack on Japan.

After all, Xu Xinsu came up from the side.

If Tokugawa Youmaru were more cautious, he would arrange some patrol ships.

This Xu Xinsu may not be able to achieve such brilliant results.

"Yaowan..."

"You have let me down too much."

"I handed over all the ships of Japan to you, but this is how you repay me?"

"These Ming savages are actually able to come back under your nose. Your eyeballs will be eaten by dogs!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tokugawa Youmaru with an extremely angry tone.

You must know that the Japanese country has launched a nationwide mobilization in order to start a war with the Ming Dynasty.

External propaganda even portrayed the Ming Dynasty as being no different from sheep.

Only in this way did the people below finally agree to the invasion.

result...

Damn it, we just started attacking our home and we suffered heavy losses. How do you expect me, a general, to give an explanation to my subordinates?

Many people thought of the damn three great campaigns of Wanli again!

I am afraid that I can no longer hold my fear for the Ming Dynasty any longer!

"Hi!"

"General, this is my fault."

"I really didn't expect the Ming Dynasty army to be so bold."

"How dare you attack in reverse."

"Please general, please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Seeing the owner's hair standing on end, Tokugawa Youmaru didn't dare to defend himself.

I can only lower my head and ask for forgiveness.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing.

A while passed.

Tokugawa Iemitsu snorted coldly, then opened his mouth and continued.

"I will help you stop this public opinion."

“But you have to find a way to get results as quickly as possible.”

"Also, I don't hope that the Ming Dynasty's fleet can attack so easily."

"The so-called robbery is successful only if it cannot get in."

"If you demolish my city and I destroy yours, that's not called robbery, it's called war."

"Understand?"

To be honest, if it weren't for Tokugawa Youmaru's proficiency in water fighting.

He had to let him commit seppuku and apologize!

Do you even know what robbery is?

Not professional at all!

"Thank you, General!"

"I will never give the Ming Dynasty fleet any chance again."

"They only have a thousand ships in total."

"You only need to leave some ships to defend the coast to make them retreat."

"And I have made a brand new plan, which will definitely plunge the southern part of the Ming Dynasty into war!"

It looks like I finally don’t have to commit seppuku.

The cold sweat on Tokugawa Youmaru's forehead subsided a little.

After taking a long breath, he quickly showed a smile.

"Let's hear it."

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Now he really needs a plan to silence the people below.

"Hi!"

"My plan is actually very simple!"

"Divide and attack! Break the whole into pieces!"

"Although I gained nothing this time, I found out the details of the Ming Dynasty."

"They certainly don't have enough troops on the southern coast."

"As long as I spread my manpower and carry out large-scale landings in Fuzhou and Hangzhou."

"The Ming Dynasty's army will definitely not be able to take care of everything with its size."

"At that time, the villages on the outskirts of the two places will be within our grasp!"

"It will surely disturb the peace of tomorrow!"

Tokugawa Youmaru took out a map from his pocket and pointed at the countless red dots on it and said quickly.

Just like how Mao Wenlong harassed Hou Jin from Pidao before.

This time it’s their turn to use this method to harass Daming!

It's just that they don't care about their heads.

A little tugging will reveal an opportunity to loot!
