Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

They specially made ship-sinking machines, which meant they would take out a few ships and directly ram and sink the largest merchant ships passing by, and then run away.

Repairs at sea were extremely difficult, and the caravans could only watch their ships sink to the bottom of the sea.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, they would organize people to salvage items from the sunken ship.

There were also some Japanese pirates who did not come for plundering, but they relied on ship-sinking machines to run rampant in the sea.

So the Shenjiying produced a batch of underwater mines.

In practice, first fill a dozen large sacks with gunpowder, thread a long rope through the mouth of the sacks, and throw them into the water.

Once you see the sinking machine approaching, light the rope immediately.

These dozen bags of gunpowder can blow up the bow or hull of any approaching enemy ship. Even if they are approached, the damage to their own ship will be limited, and it will not cause the ship to be immediately hit by a fast-moving ship and sink into water.

Now with the blessing of white sugar.

The explosive power of this underwater mine is even more significant.

"Won't you hurt yourself?"

Zhu Gaochi felt that this sounded a bit dangerous.

"Your Highness, an experienced person wouldn't do that. There's a fuse wrapped around the rope, so be careful not to get it wet when you put it in the water. You can let it explode as far away as you want."

Wei Guan explained again.

"That's not bad."

Zhu Gaochi praised it.

"Did the Japanese pirates come from Korea?"

Zhang Xin also asked.

"Your Highness, only Korea can be landed. The stolen goods they obtained were also sold in Korea. Lee Seong-gye is gone, and Mr. Ming sent one of his nephews to be the King of Korea. We are going to Korea to catch the thieves."

Wei Guan answered in great detail.

"When can we conquer it? What about Japan? I heard from Zhanji that many Japanese in Korea have married Korean women and settled in Korea."

Zhu Gaochi was also very convinced. Japan had been in chaos for so long, the Ashikaga family was barely surviving, and several other generals had divided Japan into countless small pieces. But everyone just didn't move, and the situation remained deadlocked.

On the Ryukyu side, with the support of Li Jinglong and his fourteenth uncle, the King of Zhongshan is about to win.

"I guess North Korea will be almost there by the end of this year. They have already retreated to the seashore. We are on one side, and the other three sides are all sea. I'm not sure about Japan. Your Highness, why don't you send some people over there as well?"

Wei Guan took the opportunity to ask Zhang Xin for instructions.

There were people from the East Factory staying in North Korea, and they could send news back from time to time through the express delivery shop.

Wei Guan did not send anyone to Japan. After all, the transportation was not very convenient, and even if the news could be transmitted back, it would become old news.

"No need. My eldest cousin is over there. He doesn't know how many people he has sent out to avoid the flood that will wash away the Dragon King Temple."

Zhu Gaochi was the first to veto it.

Wei Guan didn't say anything, just waited for Zhang Xin's instructions.

"Your Highness is right. There is no need to send anyone over for now."

Zhang Xin did not hear Wei Guan's answer to Zhu Gaochi, so he understood and added a sentence. After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Guan:

"Send someone back to the capital and tell the Crown Princess to have the Royal Farm and the people there grow more sugarcane, exclusively for the Shenji Camp."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Didn't you just tell me two good news?"

Zhu Gaochi waited until Zhang Xin finished giving instructions before asking.

"Your Highness, the other good news is related to the Prince Consort. Mu is very down-to-earth here, but he occasionally goes to those places where good and bad people mix. The things that Mu has on him were given by people there. They haven't been there overnight."

Wei Guan carefully told the other piece of news, then raised his head slightly to look at Zhang Xin's expression.
