Niko Province, also known as Izumo Province, is located on the northern coast of the southwest of Honshu Island, not too far from Kyushu Island, and is only separated by an Aki Province in between, and the current guardian of Izumo Province is named Niko Haruha, and he is also a figure among the local warlords who have many hairs in the Wa Kingdom, so he also received an invitation to the emperor's enthronement ceremony this time.

However, this Nizi Qingjiu obviously didn't know much about lifting, not only did he not go to Kyoto within Xu Jin's designated time limit, but he also didn't send people to find excuses to prevaricate, he didn't even bother to do superficial work, and he didn't put the powerful Ming army in his eyes at all, Governor Xu was very angry, and the consequences were undoubtedly very serious!

On May 13, the fifth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin personally led 10,000 horses to leave the port of Kumamoto Prefecture on Kyushu Island, and rode out of the cloud country by riding the southwest monsoon, preparing to take this Nizi Qingjiu to establish his authority. It can be expected that this Nizi Qingjiu is afraid that his life will not be "long".

In terms of territorial area, Izumo Province is not as good as Aki Province, which borders it, but when it comes to wealth, Izumo Province is far superior to Aki Province, because Izumo Province is home to the largest silver mine in the entire Wa Province, the Iwami Silver Mine.

Located in Shimane Prefecture in Izumo Province, the Iwami Silver Mine was so powerful that it once accounted for one-third of the world's output, producing more than 200 tons of silver per year. Despite this, the current output of the Iwami silver mine is second to none in the entire Wa country, so the Izumo country is very rich. Rich, naturally strong and well-equipped, it is estimated that this is also the confidence of Nizi Qingjiu to dare to argue with the Ming army.

On the other hand, Izumo Province's neighbor Anyi Province, although its land area is larger than that of Izumo Province, its guardian daimyo Mori Moto has a lot of affairs, so he rushed to Kyoto early to prepare for the emperor's enthronement ceremony on the first day of the sixth month, and very politely sent an envoy to send a letter to Xu Jin.

The letter was to the effect that he was waiting for the Governor in Kyoto, and that he had brought his sixteen-year-old baby daughter with him, and that he would give him a warm bed if the Governor could see it......

Getting back to the point, and said that Xu Jin led an army of 10,000 and hundreds of large and small warships, and sailed out to sea with murderous spirit, and it only took two days to reach the northern sea of Izumo Province.

I have to say that Nizi Qingjiu does have some family background, no wonder he dares to be tough in front of the Ming army!

I saw that on the sea, Nizi Qingjiu's fleet was scattered in a wedge-shape, the main battleship was a six-masted sailing ship, a total of six bows, hundreds of other warships, waving flags and swords and guns, in general, from the momentum did not lose much to the Ming army.

Of course, if you distinguish carefully, you will find that there are many warships in Nizi Qingjiu's fleet, but most of them are dilapidated, only a dozen or so main battleships look brighter, and then look at the ship's artillery, the capital ships of the Ming army are all Franc machine guns, and the artillery of the Japanese army are all miscellaneous goods.

Despite this, Xu Jin was still quite surprised to see a fleet of such a size in the Wa Kingdom, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, thinking that Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought in Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang's fleet was a huge ship, and Zhu Yuanzhang's warships were mostly fishing boats, but in the end, Chen Youliang was defeated.

It can be seen that the equipment is not omnipotent, it depends on how you use it, no matter how powerful the equipment is, if the master is incompetent, it may also be a defeat in the end, and when Xu Jin was most worried, he sent Wang Lin'er and Feng Guoqing, who were the most handy, to be left, and only Xianning Hou Qiu Luan and Taining Hou Chen Yu were left.

Qiu Luan is the top ten of the top two before this year's martial arts, for now, its performance can only be said to be decent, and then look at Taining Hou Chen Yu, this goods are similar to Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, is a soy sauce player, the reason why he was able to follow the army this time is completely the mediation of the Xungui group, as well as the result of Jiajing's balanced interests.

"The marshal should at least keep General Xie by his side." Zhao Datou muttered to himself, this thing was obviously a little worried about Qiu Luan and Chen Yu falling off the chain.

At this time, the Xianning Hou Qiuluan, who was located on the main battleship on the left flank, was both excited and nervous, excited that he was the vanguard of this battle, and could finally serve as the main general, if he won the battle, it would be a great achievement, and he was nervous that he was afraid of defeat, Xu cut off his head and was eyeing behind him, the pressure was great, and the Japanese army on the opposite side did not seem to be a group of chickens and dogs that were easy to deal with.

In charge of the right wing is Taining Hou Chen Yu, this cargo is to take a place to get credit, and he doesn't plan to take risks at all, so he is worse than Qiu Luan, at the moment he is so nervous that his heart is pounding, and his face is slightly pale, but Xu Chopping his head is pressing the formation in the back, and he can only bite the bullet.

Rumble......

As a cannonball exploded on the sea, the battle began, Qiu Luan's left flank fleet was the main attacking force, Chen Yu's right flank fleet was supplemented, and the Fran machine guns were in full swing, and the Japanese fleet on the opposite side instantly fell into a sea of fire.

In the long-distance artillery battle, the Ming army naturally had an absolute advantage, and in just half an hour, the fleet of the Japanese army was damaged and sunk dozens of warships, including the main battleships with two bows and six masts, and the losses on the side of the Ming army were much lighter, two Cangshan ships were seriously injured, and one bow and six-masted giant ship were slightly injured, and three bow clippers were sunk, two of which were still crashed and sunk because of improper operation.

Seeing that the fleet of the Japanese army was blown up in a daze, and there was no power to fight back, Qiu Luan couldn't help but increase his confidence, waved the command flag, and took the initiative to launch a rush to the peak, Chen Yu on the other side estimated that he was afraid that the credit was robbed by Qiu Luan, and he also ordered the ships under his command to rush over.

"Idiot!"

Xu Jin was watching the battle with a telescope from the flagship in the rear, and when he saw Chen Yu, who was in charge of covering, also rushing forward, he immediately scolded with a dark face.

Before the war, he specially instructed Qiu Luan to attack and Chen Yu to cover, but the latter obviously threw his advice out of the clouds at this time.

Originally, the fleet of the Japanese army has now been stunned, and Chen Yu is not unable to charge, but this cargo is low-handed and lower-handed, only caring about grabbing credit, and has not chosen a good route to break through at all, and is too close to the Qiu Luan fleet on the left flank, vowing to affect the development of their respective fleets, especially if the wind direction changes slightly, it is possible that their own people will collide with their own people.

Xu Jin's worries were obviously not superfluous, only to see a loud bang of Peng, due to the change of wind direction, the helmsman did not have time to adjust the course, a bow Cangshan ship and a bow six-masted giant ship collided, the Cangshan ship overturned on the spot, and the officers and soldiers on the ship fell into the sea like dumplings, screaming and exclaiming. The officers and men on the six-masted capital ship also fell to the ground on the deck, and what was even more terrifying was that the 10,000-pound Hongyi cannon turned over, crushing more than a dozen officers and men next to them into pulp on the spot, and they died a truly unjust death.

And that's not all, several more ships scraped one after another, and the fleet was suddenly in disarray, and this chaos was terrible, and the warships slammed into a ball one after another, just like playing bumper cars.

At this time, Chen Yu, Marquis of Taining, finally realized that he had caused a big disaster, and hurriedly ordered to turn around, but the small warship was easy to operate, but it was not easy to adjust the huge capital ship.

The commander of the Japanese army, apparently an experienced general, immediately seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and dozens of clippers loaded with firewood rushed towards the dense fleet of the Ming army.

Seeing dozens of speedboats rushing towards the burning fire, Qiu Luan couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered a sniper, bullets and sharp arrows greeted the fireboat like locusts, and the Japanese warriors who were in charge of supporting the boat were shot one after another.

However, in the end, there were still seven or eight fireships that rushed into the Ming army's fleet, igniting several nearby warships, and the flames soared into the sky in an instant, and the order suddenly became even more chaotic.

"Chen Yu, who is your mother, killed Lao Tzu!" Qiu Luan was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't stop greeting Chen Yu, the ancestor of the pig teammate, for eighteen generations.

Qiu Luan is angry and hateful, hateful and shocked, if he loses this battle, even if he can keep his head, it is estimated that his career will come to an end!

Seeing that the Japanese fleet was about to take the opportunity to turn to the upwind area to attack, at this moment, the three-bow and six-masted giant ships took the lead in seizing the upper hand, and the ship's Franc machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the cannonballs roared and scattered at the Japanese fleet.

Qiu Luan looked at it and saw that among the three-bow and six-masted giant ships, above the mast of one of them, there was a majestic "Xu" handsome flag waving in the wind, which was clearly the ship of the marshal Xu Jin, and the two bows next to it were wingmen who specially guarded the commander.

Obviously, at this critical moment, Governor Xu rolled up his sleeves and went into battle shirtless, and his eyes were very vicious, and he took the lead in seizing the upper hand area.

Qiu Luan was both surprised and delighted, and took advantage of the power of the three-bow giant ship to suppress the Japanese army, and immediately adjusted the fleet under his command, and launched a counterattack while fighting fires.

Rumble......

The Hongyi cannon fired a heavy cannon, and a centipede ship of the Japanese army was blocked and destroyed, and the Japanese warriors and hull on the ship were reduced to pieces.

On the flagship, Xu Jin's face was grim, and he ordered all the Franc cannons to be fired at full speed, and all the spare sub-systems were emptied, and then he puffed up his sails and rushed up directly.

Seeing that the commander's flagship was so violent, the Ming troops on the other ships were all enthusiastic, and they didn't need Qiu Luan's order at all, and they all accelerated their charges, but this time everyone paid attention to each other's ship distance.

Kill......

The fleets of the two sides were in close combat, and the Ming army fought bravely to be the first, how could the Japanese army, which had already been disabled, be the opponent, and was instantly killed and fled!

Qiu Luan obviously wanted to make up for the mistake just now and rushed to chase after him, and Taining Hou Chen Yu took the lead and went into battle shirtless to participate in the slashing, because he knew that if he didn't show something, it was very likely that his head would be cut off by Xu later.

In this way, the Japanese fleet was finally wiped out, and its commander Nizi was also captured alive for a long time and taken directly to Xu Jin's ship.
