Chapter 498: Bloody Tsushima


Chapter 498 Bloody Bath on Tsushima Island Chongzhen 5th October 26, Port Arthur.A large number of porters began to load the mountains of bows, crossbows, arrows, armor, grain, shells, bullets, artillery, explosives and other materials one by one.At the same time, supplies such as rice, flour, meat, canned food, shoes, socks, and other materials were also loaded onto the ship one by one, and the soldiers of the Guards Brigade of the Family Army and the First Brigade began to board the transport ship one after another.In this group of black-clad and trousers-clad family formation, there were five or six hundred teenagers dressed in gorgeous clothes, although they were skinny, their eyes were fierce, and their sideburns and clothes were clearly different from the soldiers of the whole family.These people are the brothers or sons of the suicide ship dwarfs who fought against the Dutch in the whole family army, these people are all Quanxu's hole cards, these five hundred and six people will follow the whole family army to Japan, and Quanxu will be in the name of the Ming Hussar General, and divide these five or six hundred people as the new daimyo of Japan.Eight Sea Shark warships, eight Sea Shark II (Wanshi) and four submarine hunters are the main force, more than 400 large and small warships, and more than 600 transport sea ships set sail for the sea.Of course, the wolf army composed of Zheng pirates converged in Xiaoliuqiu, which is now Okinawa, of course, this era is not the territory of Japan, they are the same as Korea and Japan, they are the younger brothers of the Ming Dynasty.The October sea breeze is as sharp as a knife, and no matter how thick you wear, you can freeze inside.It was warm in the cabin, of course, but it was not pleasant for the ship to drift with the waves.The Guards Brigade of the Whole Family Army is a little better, as Quanxu's personal guard brigade, they do not have a fixed defense area, nor do they have a formal combat mission, so they are an all-rounder, almost all soldiers can rush and kill like cavalry on horseback, and they can fight with naval soldiers on ships.It's just that the soldiers of the First Brigade are not comfortable, the soldiers born in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Shandong are fine, and the soldiers of Beizhili, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi can be poured blood mold for eight lifetimes.One by one, they spit out their eyes straight, and expressed in the most ugly swear words a certain strong desire to have some kind of relationship with the female relatives of the Japanese family......

It's really uncomfortable!

Even the most fierce soldiers were so tormented that their faces turned pale, but the training of the whole family army was strict, even if the stomach juice gushed into their throats, they gritted their teeth and swallowed back.Quan Xu's requirement for the whole family army is that he can relax when he should relax, marry a wife and have children, and there is no need to delay, which is different from other armies in the Ming Dynasty.In fact, most of the soldiers in the whole family army are dissatisfied with the establishment, because they can take vacations, and basically one-third of the soldiers and officers can enjoy vacations, whether it is visiting relatives or friends, they can move freely.But the order was given, they had to end their vacation and return to the barracks.Mao Yuanyi looked at the undulating peaks on the sea, and said with a slight sigh: "People are too small in front of the moody sea, a storm can make 100,000 troops die in the belly of the fish, no wonder Meng Yuan's two attacks on Japan were defeated!"

”"Humph!"

Quan Xu smiled disapprenously: "Can this be the same?"

That's Meng Yuan is too stupid!

”"Stupid?"

Mao Yuanyi was slightly stunned: "Meng Yuan swept the world and was invincible, are they really stupid?"

”"The warships built are all tofu scum, not to mention, they cross the sea for an expedition without even knowing anything about the sea conditions, such a fool will not die, who will die?"

Quan Xu's eyes looked at the distant shore, and his expression was a little hideous: "However, now that Lao Tzu is here, they don't have such good luck!"

Kamikaze?

I'd like to see if their kamikaze is still good and if they can bless these dwarf winter melons!

”"Yes, they have ravaged Jiangnan for more than ten years, and they are still doing evil, it's time to settle this account with them!"

Mao Yuanyi said indignantly: "Taizu's edict of non-levy cannot be their talisman!"

”"That's right, don't beat them out of the!"

Quan Xu's eyes were even more hideous: "My whole words are written backwards!"

Didn't the Tokugawa shogunate want to close the country?

I'd like to see how they are still closed off under the cannons of my ships!

”"All handsome, all handsome!"

A herald came over and announced: "Exocet 263 reports that the Portuguese battleship Super Mariner, following our fleet, is slowly approaching about forty-five miles from the flagship!"

”"What is Yang Yandong doing, do you still need to report this kind of thing?"

Mao Yuanyi shouted sternly: "Let him sink the enemy ship!"

”"No!"

Just when the herald was about to give the order, Quan Xu waved his hand and said: "Don't use it for the time being, just to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that our audience can watch our performance carefully!"

”The four submarine hunters have been on the periphery of the fleet, using radar to monitor the surrounding movements, so to speak, the whole family of naval forces with the big killer of radar, is simply like a perspective hanging, when the enemy's ships have not yet discovered them, they have already discovered each other.The whole family of military sailors dispatched thousands of large and small transport ships, as well as more than 400 warships, to say that the Dutch, British, and Spaniards did not find abnormalities, it is simply impossible.In order to gain the favor of those Westerners or to get a bounty, they will tell the Westerners about every move of their entire army and navy.The interests of the state, or the interests of the nation, are far less important to those merchants than the ten taels of silver.Jeon Wook just wanted to show off his muscles at this time.The main warships of the whole family army are 16 Sea Shark warships, each of which is equipped with 16 130 mm 28 times breech-loading rifled naval guns, two 160 mm long-barreled mortar guns, and six five-mounted rocket launchers each.As for the Sea Shark II, it hasn't changed much.It was only the number of 130-mm naval guns that increased by eight to 24, three 160-mm long-barreled mortar guns, and eight Shenhuo-4 rocket launchers.In terms of the number of naval guns, it is far less than that of European warships, but when it comes to power, it is not an order of magnitude at all, and hundreds of naval guns of European warships firing at the same time may not be able to sink an enemy ship, while the main fleet of the whole family navy can only shoot half of the naval guns in a salvo to beat the enemy ship and the ship and people back to the state of parts.Of course, the performance and power of these naval guns are highly secret, and even if Western ships come to them, they will not be able to see why.However, the Spanish and Portuguese are a century-old navy, and they can see from some clues that the main warship of the whole family army is equivalent to their third-class battleship.However, he was surprised by the fact that he was faster than their third-class ships, almost two knots ahead of his ships, and they had always thought that Portuguese shipbuilding was the best in the world!

The 16 main warships of the whole family army and navy are all carried out according to the style of the clippers, and because the shipbuilders in Liaodong have not yet thoroughly understood the key technologies of the clippers, the warships built have not been able to fully exert the amazing speed of the clippers for the time being.The state-of-the-art clippers can run faster than the first generation of coal-eating steamers.However, this was already a very striking breakthrough, and they easily threw the Portuguese ship away.In fact, Quan Xu still deliberately did not want to hang the full sails, since he was killing chickens and monkeys, how could he lose the audience?

Two days later, the entire family navy arrived in the outer bay of Tsushima.Tsushima Island is sandwiched in the middle line of the Tsushima Strait and covers an area of more than 700 square kilometers.If Jeju Island is the bridgehead of North Korea to resist Japanese invasion, then Tsushima Island is an outpost of Japan to resist the invasion of the East Asian mainland.North Korea dreamed of controlling Tsushima Island and gaining a springboard to attack Japan, but the army was always uncompetitive and could not defeat it.And from Japan's point of view, the loss of Tsushima is unbearable, and with this as a springboard, the Korean sailors will be able to hit Kyushu in three days, will they still be able to live in peace?

Therefore, although the head of Edo Castle kept changing the banner of the king, and the emperor and the shogun sat on a seesaw, up and down, whether it was the emperor or the shogun who came to power, they did everything possible to woo the Tsushima island lord clan, and they didn't ask for anything else, just asking this guy to help them watch the gate.The DPRK regards it as a thorn in its side, and it wants to pull out this nail in its dreams, but it is still the same sentence, the army is not angry, and no matter how good the strategy and tactics are, it is useless.When the Yuan army invaded Japan, the Korean sailors took advantage of the situation and washed Tsushima Island twice, which has become one of the few good memories of the Korean army in the thousand-year confrontation between the DPRK and Japan.With the four cavalry brigades of the whole family army moving all the way to the east, Jiannu was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.It was only at this time that Quan Xu discovered that the Jiannu who invaded Korea had only more than 3,000 foot cavalry, led by Azig and Abatai.It was such a 3,000-foot cavalry, all the way to the siege of the city and the land, to the city of Pyongyang, to show that the army's combat effectiveness is bad, then the North Korean army must be excluded, even the most battleless guards, when they arrive in North Korea, they are also the top elite.When he learned that the Ming Dynasty Wuwei Hou Quanxu was conquering Japan, the Korean marshal Jin Zizai arrived in the Tsushima Strait with more than 100 large and small warships and more than 7,000 "elites".Kim Zizai came from a wealthy family in North Korea, and he was the one who followed Yi Liang to participate in the coup d'état, and after Yi Liang became the king of Joseon, he also rose to prominence.He replaced Marshal Kim Sirang and became the commander of the garrison of an important town in the northwest of Korea.As a result, when Jiannu crossed the Yalu River, he led his army to resist to Zhenhai."

Master Hou, please call the shots for North Korea!"

When he saw Quan Xu, Jin Zizai hugged Quan Xu's thigh and cried: "This pair of Falklands has always been a thorn in our side, we all dreamed of pulling it out, but we can't help it, and please help us!"

”Quan Xu was very refreshing: "You want to fight Tsushima Island, right?"

Well, let's blast the defenses of Tsushima with our cannons, and you attack them and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!

”Jin Zizai was overjoyed: "Thank you Master Hou for your success, we will definitely kill the Japanese on the island without leaving a piece of armor!"
