The Ming Dynasty dispatched 100,000 troops to conquer the Wa Kingdom, which was the first major war event of the Ming Dynasty since the war was quelled. Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the same as the previous Ming Dynasty, three or four years of peace have brought great development, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy has developed rapidly. There is also the influence of Mao Wenlong's advanced concept of governing the world, saying that the current Ming Dynasty is not inferior to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The expedition to the sea was quite costly, and it could not be done without the support of the prosperous world, and the Zheng He fleet in the Yongle heyday was far behind compared to the current Dongjiang Army and Navy.

The advent of steam-engine warships completely changed the time and method of navigation. In the past, you had to rely on the monsoon to go to sea, but now as long as the sea is not frozen, you can go to sea whenever you want.

All kinds of new weapons also began to appear, of course, these new weapons were not equipped by ordinary Ming troops. According to Mao Wenlong's wishes, the army's equipment only needs to be enough to cope with the moment. Only when the Ming Dynasty was threatened, could the army be replaced with advanced weapons.

Under the influence of the change of concept and the emphasis on innovation, the entire Ming Dynasty has been full of vitality! An army of 100,000 and more than 500 large warships with steam engines, loaded with the materials needed by Mao Wenlong, set sail from Weihaiwei and rushed to the distant Wa Kingdom.

From receiving Mao Wenlong's letter to preparing for the army's departure, it took two months.

Tokyo Castle of Wakoku.

In the bright study, Mao Wenlong's face was full of joy, and what he was holding in his hand was the urgent letter that had just arrived.

"It's great, I've finally pulled out the rat of the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom." Mao Wenlong smiled.

"Chief soldier, when are we going to do it?" Hao Da asked in a low voice.

"Immediately reply to Adou and ask him to do it immediately, remembering that the emperor of the Wa Kingdom will never be allowed to escape this time." Mao Wenlong ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Commander!" After saying yes, he immediately turned around and left.

And on Mao Wenlong's desk, there was another unread letter, which was sent by the Ming Dynasty. After more than two months, Mao Wenlong received a reply from the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of communication speed made Mao Wenlong very criticized, but he was helpless.

Because of the slow communication, the dynasties have not been able to control too large a country since ancient times. This is an insurmountable chasm that, once too much is controlled, it will soon be separated again due to slow communication.

Mao Wenlong naturally also considered this problem, although the Wa Kingdom across the sea seemed to be close neighbors of the Ming Dynasty on the map. However, each back and forth of communication took two or three months, and it was impossible for such efficiency to completely control the Japanese state.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong did not think about permanently controlling the Wa Kingdom, he fought against the Wa Kingdom, spending huge manpower and material resources in order to occupy the mineral resources here. The starting point is different, so there is no need to worry about those, but if possible, Mao Wenlong will still try to control the Japanese state and squeeze the maximum benefits.

opened Daming's letter, Mao Jingwen's handwriting made Mao Wenlong feel more cordial. Three years, he has been separated from his family for three years, and Mao Wenlong is still quite worried at the moment.

In the letter, Mao Jingwen explained everything clearly, and the 100,000 army rushed over with Hong Chengchou and many students. This is great news, and it also proves from the side that today's Ming Dynasty is already in its heyday, so it can make such a big deal all at once.

Mao Wenlong was intoxicated by Mao Jingwen's letter, and the order just now was passed on by the fastest flying pigeon, and it took two days to send it to Adou's hands. After receiving the order, Adou immediately summoned all the secret guards to prepare for the beheading operation.

Mao Wenlong's requirement is to see people alive and corpses when dead. It's hard to catch a living person and go back, and there will be mistakes on the way, but it's much safer and easier to get a dead person back. Therefore, Adou never intended to capture the emperor alive, but always insisted on killing him directly.

In order to be sure, Adou borrowed fifty hot air balloons and had already surrounded the emperor's hiding place in the air. There are hot air balloons in the air to watch, and the ground is assassinated by the Secret Guard Battalion. It's just a few hundred widows, and they really don't look down on Adou.

In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, Adou waited until the next morning before acting, and the three thousand secret guards, under his leadership, quietly approached the emperor's hiding place.

The Emperor, who had been surrounded, was still unaware of the danger that was coming, and he was still urging his subordinates to step up the construction of ships. Since there was no way to build large ships, he had to assemble them with numerous small boats. It was a stupid solution, but it was the only way he could do it right now.

The built boat still needs to be dragged over the mountains and mountains to the sea, and then spliced on the seaside, which is definitely not a small project. In a few days, the number of small boats would be sufficient, and in the meantime the Emperor had already recruited several men with extensive seafaring experience. Everything is ready, and only the final preparations are needed.

The emperor's mood has also improved a lot in the past two days, and his face is always broken, but his smiling face can be seen all the time in the past two days. It can be seen that the mood is not generally good.

On a tall old tree, Adou sat between the branches, and through the dense branches and leaves, he had observed the emperor's hiding place for a long time. The 3,000 Secret Guards were already ready, and now with just Adou's order, the 3,000 people could kill all the unsuspecting pirates here in an instant.

The sun overhead was already in mid-air, and Adou suddenly showed a hideous smile on his face. The camp of the Japanese in front of them had stopped busy, and the smell of food wafted through the forest. The widows, who had been busy all morning, were able to rest at this time, smelling the smell of rice, and swallowing their saliva one by one.

When the enemy is the most relaxed, it is the best moment for the dark guard battalion to attack, Adou did not hesitate, put his finger into his mouth, and suddenly let out a roar!

As soon as the roar started, the figures of the three thousand dark guard soldiers suddenly rushed out of the hiding place, waved the saber in their hands, and the hungry tiger pounced on the food and ran directly towards the unsuspecting Japanese robbers.

In an instant, the screams were everywhere, and the emperor was eating in the wooden house at the moment, and when he suddenly heard the screams outside, he immediately became vigilant. The four secret ninjas quietly appeared beside him and said in a low voice: "Emperor, the Dongjiang Army is coming outside, please come with us!" ”

The front door was not daring to leave, and the small wooden house left a back door, from where the four secret ninjas escorted the panicked emperor away. But they had just opened the back door, and they were greeted by the blades of two sabers.

In the whirring wind, the blades of the two sabers slashed fiercely into the chests of the two dark ninjas in front of them. The moment the blood light appeared, Adou's cruel laughter also sounded: "If you want to leave, it's not so easy." ”
