In the waters of Asia, if you want to talk about piracy, there are only two places where piracy can be regarded as a climate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

One of them is the pirates in the Wakoku region.

Japan's distance from the Asian continental shelf, its poor land, and its rapid population growth are not enough to feed its own population.

Therefore, during the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, there were constant fights between village chiefs, on the one hand, because of the ambitions of the village chiefs, who wanted to achieve "immortal hegemony", and on the other hand, because of their lack of productivity, they needed to rely on war to reduce the population.

However, there are always some "smart people" who will find another way, and there are people who rely on the sea to eat the sea.

These guys, who want to eat the sea by the sea, are unable to develop marine fisheries on a large scale because of the underdevelopment of shipbuilding technology and preservation, anti-corrosion and other technologies. I can only find a way to do some business without capital.

Therefore, slowly, Japan produced a large number of pirate groups, and these pirates were a group of scum attached to the Japanese national system.

They had always believed in the respect of the strong, and gradually merged into a titular group of pirates, who had taken refuge in Japan's Sixth Heavenly Demon King decades ago when Oda Nobunaga had risen to prominence.

Later, after the Honnoji Incident, they turned to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and contributed to the Toyotomi family in exchange for a certain political status.

Later, during the war of aggression against the Korean Kingdom, these Japanese scum were educated by the Daming Water Master.

Since then, this group has been in a slump, and it no longer dares to be as arrogant as before.

Although they don't dare to blow up any more stabs, they are still pirates, and from time to time they will rob small merchant ships coming and going to the sea, which is very annoying.

The second force is the pirate force along the coast of China, relying on the developed shipbuilding technology and various rich resources of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the Ming Dynasty, which was an important trade node in the world at that time, the Ming pirates dominated the Asian seas for generations.

The best of these pirates will find a way to establish their own nation and start a new business after they have reached a certain stage of development.

However, this is only a small number of pirates, most of the pirates are passable, yearning for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

They are not willing to go to Nanyang or other remote areas to establish any country, in their eyes, even if they are wanted in the Ming Dynasty and go into hiding, it is 10,000 times better than going to those poor rural areas to suffer.

Although they were divided and merged, and the fighting was endless, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even before the Manchu Qing Dynasty completely closed off the country, China's pirate groups had extremely strong power, dominating the entire Asian seas, and even controlling the rise and fall of many countries in the South Seas.

In that year, Chen Xin led his army, after conquering the northern region of the Korean Kingdom, because the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan banned the export of copper from the country, fought a "copper war" and captured the Kyushu region of Japan.

At the time of the invasion of the Kyushu region of Japan, although the kingdom had not yet been established, and there was not even a government banner, Chen Xinjun, who only played the name of the Xuan Army at that time, had already shown a strong aggressiveness.

In order to be able to completely appease the region, the merchant ships of the kingdom can travel freely between the several administrative districts.

It was also in order to completely eliminate Japan's maritime power, completely blockade Japan from the sea, and trap the country, the kingdom specially cracked down on the pirates and shipyards here.

At that time, along the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, and the Sea of Japan, the warships of the kingdom were cruising and sweeping.

At that time, fast crabs, which had not yet been assigned to the coast guard and were still belonging to the navy in various modifications, were constantly attacking in all directions.

The warships of the Navy would fight the enemy at sea every day, and the rumbling of artillery resounded through the sea.

After more than a year of encirclement and suppression, and the bloody suppression of shipyards across Japan, the sea area between the Japanese and Korea, those Japanese pirate forces that had been severely damaged by the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago and survived, were cleared by the royal navy, and completely lost the ability to threaten the kingdom.

After more than a year of encirclement and suppression, the Japanese pirates, one of the two pirate forces in the Asian seas, were eliminated and "cleaned", and the sea routes between several administrative regions of the kingdom were completely unblocked.

However, the crisis of the kingdom has not been resolved, because there is still a sea route on the Ming side, which has not yet been opened.

The Ming Dynasty was the most important part of international trade in this era, and the large amount of silver collected by the Spanish treasure ships from South America had to be sent to Manila first, and then after receiving enough goods from the Ming Dynasty, they returned to Europe with their things.

Similarly, the Liaodong region and the Korean Kingdom region, which had undergone several years of war, had been completely dilapidated and had little commercial spending power.

Therefore, most of the various materials produced by the kingdom will eventually be sold to Daming, so Daming is the most important link in the kingdom's trade routes.

But those pirates in the Daming Sea are roadblocks, they are really very annoying, if the number of ships in the kingdom's commercial transport fleet is small, it will attract the attention of a large number of small pirates, if the number of ships is large, it will attract the attention of those big pirates.

Therefore, at that time, the maritime trade routes of the kingdom were really very difficult to walk. Thankfully, the kingdom eventually found a good solution to the problem.

Pirates are all about the law of the jungle, so it is only natural that the kingdom shows its "muscles".

Some time after the Japanese pirate power was wiped out, the kingdom gathered all the seagoing ships that had been captured, purchased, and manufactured at all costs.

At that time, it was also thought that each sea ship should be equipped with enough guns, but due to production capacity problems, this plan could not be realized.

In the end, even with the addition of the specialized ships, the kingdom only had enough artillery for a tenth of its ships.

The other transport ships were equipped with most of the "fake guns" with some real guns, and this "fake guns" were short-range gunpowder projectiles, that is, the extremely powerful "unconscionable guns" that Chen Xin often heard about in later generations.

Of course, this kind of artillery is actually not as useful as it is shown in various legendary novels.

What a gasoline barrel, wrapped around a few wires, can fire explosives packs, and the power is similar to that of super-large caliber heavy artillery, that is all nonsense.

If it was that simple, why didn't it become popular later? Why did those war-torn countries in the 21st century, even Mosin Nagant and Lee Enfeld move out, and why didn't they use the "simple", "convenient", and "powerful" "conscience cannon"?

There is only one reason, that is, this kind of "artillery" is not easy to use, it is just a choice of the PLA in desperation, there is a real artillery, who would want to use that thing.
