Fortunately, even if it was so troublesome, Mao Jue could still spend it!

The most profitable deal in the world is a money-free deal. In the past three years, Mao Jue has made more than tens of millions of taels in Japan. Moreover, his business is getting bigger and bigger. The Liao goods collected by the Yalu Riverside City are sold to Jiangnan, and then from Jiangnan, they enter silk cloth and sugar and other southern goods to Liaodong grasslands. They also earn three to four million taels a year.

Emperor Chongzhen's death increased taxes, which made the world boiling water. After layers of exploitation, the silver was only 4 to 5 million taels of silver, plus about 20 million taels of grain. Mao Jue's small Dongjiang was inconspicuous, and the income brought by business was enough to reach one-quarter of the Ming Empire.

But even so, the words of General Yuan still made Mao Jue feel so painful that he didn't say anything for a whole meal.

…………

The treatment is really different. During the past, Mao Jue came to Nagasaki City, the army of Dongjiang landed from the left and right bays, and dug a trench fortress and lived outside the city. But this time, the old men from Dongjiang encountered unprecedented enthusiasm. As soon as they landed from the port, they were invited by the retainers in the city to the barracks that had been prepared in the city. Here, the burned hot water and hot rice balls were wrapped in pickled fish, and the cigarettes from Japan were specially sold. If they were willing to pay a few dollars, there would be a petite Japanese girl dressed in the temple witches. In short, this small treatment would be accorded to the US troops stationed in Japan in later generations.

After struggling until midnight, the army, who had been floating on the sea for several days, fell asleep comfortably, but the Tianshou Pavilion located in the command center was still brightly lit. Yuan Chonghuan talked about it around a map of Jiuzhou Island, and from time to time he drew his arms on the map. More than a dozen famous names, dozens of Dongjiang officers followed him and looked at him frowned, especially Mao Jue himself, frowned from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.

I have to say that Yuan Chonghuan really did his homework. He memorized almost all the ancient books of the last Kamakura Shogunate Kyushu offensive and defensive battle.

"General, everyone, the identity of the South China Sea pirates who came to attack this time has been clear. The South China Sea pirates, the Fujian Navy guerrilla Zheng Zhilong colluded with the Dutch Red-Furious Yi from Xiao Liuqiu, attacked Zheng Zhilong, the thief Zheng Zhilong, the frontier of our eagle nose and pig eyes, was extremely greedy and plundered. However, he is a sea hero with tens of thousands of thieves, and has been practicing naval battles for a long time, and his combat power is good. He has the sharp help of the Dutch Red-Furious Yi, and he cannot be regarded as a sharp force."

"But Zheng's thief Rui was already a sharp one. After all, he was a long expedition. He came from Jiangnan. He went deep into the army alone, and it was not easy to supply. Just like Fan Wenhu, the Jiangnan Army in Hong'an, back then, I was like Fan Wenhu, the core of this battle was to strengthen the walls and clear the fields."

"Hissama Kokusa, the troops of the Rusatsu family remained unmoved and defended Kagoshima. The coastal village retreated thirty miles away. The troops of Shimakura and its affiliated Oka, Mori, Sabuki, and Sunrise were supported by the four vassals to prevent the bandits from going ashore to rob. "

"Zheng Zhilong, this thief, has been running Nagasaki for a long time, and his main attack direction must be Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Hakata Bay. The main force of our army should also be arranged here. The samurai of Kuroda's family should be defended against Hakata, and the warriors of the Toyotomi family headquarters are defended against Kashima, Takashima, and Mori Hide, who led the Maori family samurai to gather Nagato Kanda. Each unit relies on the Yuan gang to defend the base, so that the Zheng thief will invade our territory! It will be delayed until June and July that the samurai will be strong, and the Zheng thief will collapse without fighting!"

"Hayi!"

With Yuan Chonghuan's arrangement, more than a dozen Japanese daimyos were praised one after another, and their excitement and respect were beyond words. The kamikaze more than 300 years ago helped Japan defeat the Mongol Empire, a conqueror who was almost the entire world. This influence was so that during World War II, the most elite air force of the Japanese devils was named as the Kamikaze Special Forces. These Japanese people had a unique belief in Kamikaze and firmly believed.

But this arrangement made Mao Jue's brows furrows one after another. Yuan Chonghuan's arrangement is comprehensive, with defenses everywhere. Relying on the Yuankou Breakwater that has been repaired in the past two months, it resists the enemy on the beach, and its defense seems to be very complete.

But the problem is that when Mao Jue arrived, he was also facing such a similar formation. Moreover, during the Second Battle of Nagasaki, the Tokugawa Shogunate was arranged in Nagasaki, and his defense in Iki was even more tight. There were 100,000 Japanese samurai soldiers in front and behind, and a large number of large cannons were equipped, but it was still not blocking him Mao Jue?

Mao Jue didn't know what kind of firepower Zheng Zhilong was, but this old guy had a name for Nicholas. He must have a lot of them when he was hanging with Westerners. The prototype of the Red Barbarian Cannon was a ship-planting cannon. Can he not have it? No need to have more. As long as there are ten Red Barbarian Cannons, it is enough for the so-called Yuangu Breakwater, which is only one meter high, and less than half a meter of stone walls, and there are also Japanese warriors guarding behind him who drink a pot.

Moreover, in the archaeological investigation of Mongolian shipwrecks in later generations, the reason why the Mongolian fleet lost so much in the typhoon was not because of the invincible power of the so-called divine wind, but because Mongolian warships were too slack. In order to maintain balance, almost all countries were pointed-bottomed ships, equipped with strong keels to resist strong winds and waves. However, most of the Mongolian warships salvaged from later archaeological research were flat-bottomed ships. Moreover, in archaeological research, the mast arrangement of Mongolian warships was extremely unreasonable and the center of gravity was high. Such a ship could run into the inland rivers and sail in the sea, which was purely seeking death.

Thinking about the historical environment at that time, it is not surprising that this situation is that the Mongols have always been domineering and ordered Goryeo to build 900 ships within two or three years. It was not completely conquered at that time. There were still some of them built 3,500 ships in Jiangnan in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty. In this case, it would be strange if it was not shoddy.

But who is Zheng Zhilong? It has been so many years since Southeast Asia. If he had been driving a broken ship similar to the Mongols, he would have drowned. It was not that the Japanese Kamikaze Mao Jue had never encountered it. When he was retreating in August and September last year, he encountered a typhoon unexpectedly. As a result, the losses were so low that the first mate was too lazy to remember.

After all, it is near the sea, not the dangerous Bermuda or the Japanese Dragon Triangle. There are too many places to shelter from the wind. The advancement of shipbuilding technology has also made the ship's wind resistance stronger and stronger. Even if it is delayed for a long time to the frequent typhoon season in July and August, what can't the typhoon do if Zheng Zhilong can do anything to?

Yuan Chonghuan was not a mediocre general, but unfortunately, his vision was still limited to this era and to land warfare.

Not to mention him, just Wen Meng, Kong Youde and other Dongjiang generals nodded. Among the group, only Adrena was about the same as himself, and her eyes were full of doubts and opposition.

The foreign girl did not disappoint Mao Jue's expectations. Just when Yuan Chonghuan was still in full swing, she suddenly had a sharp voice interrupting the peace of the entire parliament hall and made everyone look at her side.

"Why don't we defeat these pirates with the navy?"

"Baga, Ou Ma yo wow..."

Not to mention that women are in Japan, their status in the world is very low in this era. I suddenly saw her interrupting and was shocked. After a few eyes were stunned, several daimyos who were not open-minded were already cursing. The messy Japanese insults made the venue even more chaotic. There was even a guy coming up to pull Adrena out.

Seeing that the slap was not raised, the loud slap sounded first. Inoue Teng, who had suffered a loss, slapped his mouth with big mouths. In the crackling sound, the little daime, whose head was hot, was first pulled aside, and the other few eyes were grinned and their faces were swollen.

But even though Inoue Teng is not tall, he is Mao Jue's confidant, the Western Navy General, equivalent to the genealogy of the Tokugawa family in the East. Even if he was beaten, the few people dared not speak out. They could only lower their heads and apologize endlessly.

Daming, who had participated in the Osaka War, knows Adrena's weight, but Yuan Chonghuan was also sent by Mao Jue to Japan to be the emperor. When he saw Adrena, he actually refuted Yuan Chonghuan. Dongjiang seemed to have had an internal strife, and Maori and Kuroda looked at each other incrediblely.

Perhaps he had done too much in half a year, and Yuan Chonghuan once again regarded himself as the Liaodong governor who had been the one who was the only one who said that he did not look good, and he also looked ugly, so he clasped his fists at Mao Jue.

"General, do you think the deployment of the subordinate is inappropriate?"

It was exactly the same question as Adrena asked, and Mao Jue also asked with a sharp voice and even a little annoyed.

"Why don't you defeat them with the navy?"

…………

When Nagasaki Tensou was in trouble, the killing whales that came out of the South China Sea in the vast Pacific Ocean did not stop swallowing siphons for a moment. On the first day of April, on the same day as April Fool's Day in the West, the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was close to Japan, floated over the Ryukyu Palace with the Ming Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty.

Like Mao Jue, the Ryukyu Kingdom is also a wise country to the Zheng family. The Ming people are so arrogant these days. As long as they are under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, even if a dog comes, the Ryukyu King will come to welcome him, let alone carry more than 200 warships and more than 40,000 mercenaries, Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the South China Sea, with more than 40,000 mercenaries. The vast fleet filled the Ryukyu King Shuri City against the southeast coast.

Especially the three giant ships in the center of the entire fleet, the largest one is more than 130 meters long, the two next to it are more than 100 meters long and dozens of meters wide. They have two rows of eight sails and nine giant masts in front. The stern tower behind them is three stories high. From a distance, it looks like a city on the sea.

The treasure ship that the eunuch of the Three Treasures, Zheng He, went south, was so big. According to Zheng Zhilong's financial resources and strength, it seems that he resurrected Zheng He's treasure ship in this era.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong was only in his early thirties. Not to mention his prime, the South China Sea Dragon King was most ambitious. He sat in front of the tail building with a golden foot seat between the two masts, and between the eighteen pirate generals were arranged on both sides. Below were pirate leaders of all sizes. The breeze was like the king of the sea.

With the company, King Shang of Ryukyu, who came on board personally, looked like a big eunuch, looking timid and almost knelt on the ground.

"The little king of the country is here to pay homage to the general of the Celestial Empire!"

Zheng Zhilong didn't even want to speak. Listening to the King of Ryukyu, his younger brother Zheng Zhi said with a humble groan.

"My brother is Xunyou, Fujian, Ming Dynasty, to take care of Zhen'an to attack the enemy and guerrillas in the four seas. He came to attack the bandits at the order of the emperor. Rucun the small country, quickly prepare food, grass and food for the army, and there must be no mistakes!"

It's really a joke. Zheng Zhilong, a Fujian coastal defense guerrilla, was so bragged like the emperor's title, but he does have the capital to brag, with more than 40,000 seas and huge warships. Even if the general of Guangzhou came on the southeast coast, he could only do odd jobs for Zheng Zhilong. The Ryukyu Kingdom has a population of only about 100,000, and he can't stand a Ryukyu King?

However, when he heard that he wanted food and supplies, the King of Ryukyu almost cried. The old man really knelt down, raised his hand sadly, and cried in Ryukyu local dialect.

"The General of the Heavenly Kingdom of the Supreme Kingdom has given mercy. One day, the General of the Heavenly Kingdom has placed tens of thousands of troops in our territory. Our country has exhausted the power of a country. I really have no spare energy to supply the general's army!"

Last time, Mao Jue used Amakushi Shiro's Shimahara Ikki to severely injure the military power of the shogunate Kyushu. After using it, he took them away like throwing garbage and left them in Ryukyu and ignored them. Unexpectedly, he made a contribution here. They first raised the inventory of the Ryukyu Kingdom like locusts, and there was nothing left when Zheng Zhilong came.

Moreover, the nearly 10,000 troops were scared by Zheng Zhilong's general Zheng Jing couldn't help but scream in shock.

"Longtou, the boy named Mao in the north has tens of thousands of troops here! You must be warned! The last general is willing to lead the army and defeat his surname Mao first! Please give an order!"

"The last general is willing to take the lead!"

"Brother, let me fight for this moment!"

I have to say that Zheng Jun was also full of spirit, and several other generals from Shibazhili followed and shouted and rushed to start the war. However, in the chaos, Zheng Zhilong did not hurry. Instead, he slapped his broad palm upwards, instantly leaving the gangsters at sea silent.

In the silence, the Dragon King of the South China Sea finally stood up in person. He first glanced at the sea. Zheng Zhilong frowned and turned toward the King of Ryukyu. He asked in a deep voice.

"Another general of the Celestial Dynasty, what kind of soldiers he looks like, how many soldiers he is under his command, and how many soldiers he is?"

To be honest, Zheng Zhilong came to attack Mao Jue thousands of miles away, and he first committed a military taboo, not knowing the enemy! He really knew nothing about Mao Jue, only knew that he was a rising figure in the north. In the past two years, he had many ships running along the south of the Yangtze River and conquered Zhoushan. All the information was heard from the truth.

There are even rumors that Mao Jue has three heads and six arms, and can eat living people alive. As a weathered pirate leader, Zheng Zhilong has the opportunity to understand his opponent, so he must understand clearly.

However, before the King of Ryukyu was drunk, he woke up from his senses and answered, the bow of the ship in front of him was filled with Minnan dialect and hurriedly ran to the ship, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Reporting to the Longtou, a Cangshan boat came on the sea, which was hailed by the Ming Dynasty's deputy general Mao, and rushed to our fleet!"

"Was that guy named Mao sent someone here?"

As his thick eyebrows raised, Zheng Zhilong immediately shouted in a low voice.

"Bring me here!"

I have to say that Zheng Jun is really well-trained. Several fast ships came out and dragged the Dongjiang Cangshan boat back. In less than half an hour, a Dongjiang envoy, who was big and short, was swaying like bean sprouts, appeared at the stern of the largest blessed ship, and respectfully clasped his fists and bowed.
