Chapter 996: Thunder Strikes
The area of Kyushu Island is about 40,000 square kilometers, there were originally nine small local countries, hence the name Kyushu Island, however, since Kyushu Island was ceded to the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jindang even erased the names of these nine small countries, and according to the administrative method of the Ming Dynasty, Kyushu Island was redivided into nine counties, and set up county schools and government schools, in order to naturalize the local Japanese people.
Unfortunately, these measures had just begun to be implemented, and Wang Zhi's father and son rebelled, and the local officials sent by the imperial court were either killed or detained, and the naturalization policy set by Xu Jin was naturally put on hold.
Moreover, during the year of the rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son, in order to consolidate his position, he implemented bloody rule, and he was killed and detained at every turn, so the local Japanese people did not have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, but more hatred.
Osumi Island and Kyushu Island face each other across the sea, not far away, so the news of the defeat of Wang Zhi's father and son spread quickly, and the Japanese people on Kyushu Island took the opportunity to rebel, which was naturally the rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son. In just one night, the island of Kyushu, which had barely managed to maintain unity through bloody suppression, was torn apart.
As the saying goes, you get melons when you plant melons, and you get beans when you plant beans. Mao Haifeng finally tasted the bitter fruit at this time, there was a counterinsurgency army of the imperial court in front of him, and then there were local "mobs" who wanted to kill him quickly, so he had no choice but to retreat to Nagasaki County.
Nagasaki is believed to be familiar to everyone, that is, the unlucky place where an atomic bomb was dropped by the rice countrymen in later generations, and almost the whole county died, it is located on the western coast of Kyushu Island. Now Mao Haifeng has deployed his sailors and all his troops around Nagasaki Prefecture to try to resist stubbornly.
On March 25, the fifth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin personally led the Ming Navy Division to the sea near Nagasaki County.
Mao Haifeng obviously learned the lesson of Osumi Island, and after discovering the trace of the Daming Navy, he immediately ordered the sailors under his command to set sail out to sea to meet the battle, lest they be beaten by the opponent's long-range heavy artillery before they could open the formation.
As the so-called one force will reduce ten, in the face of absolute superiority, all tactics and skills have become less important. As soon as Xu Jin gave the order, the Daming Naval Division opened a formation on the sea, and the ten Hongyi cannons took the lead in releasing their terrifying power, roaring and releasing their terrifying power, and then thousands of warships pressed up head-on, guns and cannons fired in unison, and ten thousand arrows fired in a volley......
Boom Boom Boom ......
The sea near Nagasaki Prefecture was full of artillery fire, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the fierceness of the battle discouraged those local armed forces who tried to take the chestnut from the fire, and they retreated in horror.
The naval battle lasted for about an hour, and Mao Haifeng's fleet was basically disabled, of course, the losses on the side of the Ming army were not light, and the war never had a complete winner.
"Fire!" Mao Haifeng stood on the bow deck of the command ship, roaring with red eyes, like a wounded beast.
At this moment, there was a scream in the sky, and a scorching cannonball immediately hit Mao Haifeng's ship, but when he heard a loud bang, the tip of the stern was shattered on the spot, and a whirling piece of wood cut the throat of a nearby rebel.
"General, we have been hit, let's withdraw quickly, if we don't withdraw, it's too late, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Mao Haifeng's personal soldiers shouted at him the words they had shouted three days ago.
Mao Haifeng glanced at the only remaining seven-bow battleships around, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Withdraw, go to Owari Country!" ”
At this time, Mao Haifeng thought of his ally Ori Shin Miko, and at this moment he could only take refuge in Ori Shin Miko, he had helped her so much, and now she should also help herself.
The flag soldiers on the mast waved the flag to send a retreat signal, Mao Haifeng's ship took the lead in turning around and fleeing towards the northern sea, and the other seven-bow warships also hurriedly adjusted their sails to keep up.
Behind the sailors of the Ming army, Xu Jin was standing on the deck of the ship, using a telescope to pay attention to the battle situation in the distance, and Xu Peng, the Duke of Wei, also held a monocular to join in the fun.
"Hey, Lord Xu, look, the other party's battleship seems to be about to escape!" Xu Peng raised his short beard and said triumphantly.
Xu Jin smiled lightly: "If you want to escape, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
Xu Pengju's heart moved, and he suddenly woke up Xie Sangun, who was secretly sent out by Xu Jin before the battle, and couldn't help but pat his forehead and said: "General Xie Shen must have been waiting in the north, Lord Xu anticipated the enemy's first opportunity, and used soldiers like a god, admire and admire!" ”
Xu Jin chuckled and said: "Grandpa Guo has praised it falsely, Mao Haifeng is now embattled, and there is only Orishin Miko, an ally, and there is no other way but to flee to Owari Kingdom." ”
Xu Peng nodded and said: "What Lord Xu said is extremely true, but in front of my Ming Invincible Armada, I am afraid that even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu will not be able to protect him Mao Haifeng." ”
Let's say that Mao Haifeng led the only remaining eight-bow battleship to the north and fled in a hurry, at this time the southwest wind was blowing, the ship was extremely fast, and soon sailed out of more than ten miles, and what made Mao Haifeng strange was that the Ming army did not seem to be in a hurry to catch up, but only sent a few battleships to follow from afar.
Mao Haifeng was not stupid, he suddenly felt uneasy, and kept holding a telescope to observe the sea in front of him, fortunately, the sea in front of him was endless for more than ten miles, and there were no ships to intercept him.
"Hey, what's that?" Mao Haifeng's heart suddenly tightened, and some strange wooden boxes floating on the surface of the sea a few miles ahead of him appeared.
Just when Mao Haifeng was in doubt, the fleet had already sailed to the vicinity of those wooden boxes, and the eight warships were full of sails at this time, and the speed of the ships was very fast, and it was impossible to turn the rudder to avoid those wooden boxes.
The first battleship crashed into a wooden box and ran over directly, and then there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the ship, and the hull shook violently, and the rebels on board were startled, and looked at each other for a few seconds, only to realize in horror that the hull of the ship began to tilt.
"Oh no, it's the bottom of the boat that is broken!" Suddenly, someone shouted.
In an instant, fear spread like a plague, and the rebels ran around the deck screaming, and some tried to run to the bilge to see the hole, only to find that the sea was pouring in frantically, and the bottom of the ship was blown up with a big hole the size of a bucket.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Those wooden boxes exploded under the bottom of the ship one after another, and Mao Haifeng's ship was not spared, the bottom of the ship was blown through and sank quickly, and everyone on board let out a desperate exclamation.
Mao Haifeng was like falling into an ice cellar at the moment, his head was blank, but fortunately, his personal soldiers were still dutiful, and at the critical moment, he dragged him onto a life raft and rowed away with all his might......
