Good morning Daming

Chapter 1026: Explosive Water Master

After Wang Bie's confidant hooked up with Ichiro Komura, he analyzed the current situation of the Zhejiang Navy for him.

——The Zhejiang navy is corrupt, the strongest ones are the dozen warships under our Captain Wang, the rest are just rubbish. In normal training, they can be beaten by our Captain Wang by dozens of blocks.

Ichiro Komura was delighted when he heard this, thinking to himself that Wang Bie fled for his life when he encountered a few of his small boats. Now I have two regular warships under my command, plus Wang Bie's more than ten warships, it will be a piece of cake for me to sweep across the Zhejiang navy!

Although the Japanese pirates were bold in the past, they only dared to launch sneak attacks and did not dare to attack a certain place on a large scale because they were worried that the Zhejiang navy would gather and attack.

Now that he had received the accurate information, Komura Ichiro was full of confidence and was ready to unify the nearby Japanese pirates after integrating Wang Bie's rebels to strengthen his own strength. Then he would launch a large-scale offensive.

He expected that the Ming army would pursue him, but he did not expect that it would be Jiang Qingzhi himself.

Who is Jiang Qingzhi?

At that time, the Japanese pirates were rampant as if they were in an empty land. Jiang Qingzhi went south and defeated Song Muliangzi in one battle. He built Jingguan in Taizhou Prefecture, which frightened the nearby Japanese pirates.

Afterwards, Jiang Qingzhi became the focus of the Japanese pirates. A steady stream of news came from the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

He marched north and defeated Altan Khan's cavalry. He fought against the Confucians internally and did not lose the upper hand.

A minister favored by Emperor Jiajing, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty...

When the news came that Jiang Qingzhi defeated Altan's army heading south in one battle, Ichiro Komura could hardly believe it.

That’s an army of two hundred thousand!

Just like during the Japanese civil war, the daimyo had only a few hundred men under their command, but claimed to have thousands of men. An army of 200,000 might be an exaggeration, but there must be 100,000, right?
What does an army of 100,000 mean... In Japan, it is an astronomical number, enough to sweep away Japan's existence.

The ferocity of the grassland cavalry left every Japanese with lingering fears. Back then, the Mongols swept everything. If it weren't for the divine wind, Japan would have long become an overseas province of the Mongols.

So, when the news came that Jiang Qingzhi led tens of thousands of Ming troops to fight, Komura Ichiro drank the looted wine and sighed: "I wanted to defeat this man myself, but I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to die."

The Ming army is just a bunch of scum. This concept is deeply rooted in people's minds. For many years, the Ming army in the nine borders was beaten to a pulp by the grassland cavalry. The Beijing guards were just watchdogs...

Ichiro Komura kept an eye on Jiang Qingzhi and obtained a lot of relevant information through the local tyrants who colluded with him.

Altan suffered a crushing defeat!

Jiang Qingzhi won a great victory!
When he heard the news, Ichiro Komura's face was solemn.

He is worried about his future.

If Jiang Qingzhi were in charge of Zhejiang and Fujian, Ichiro Komura even felt that he should change his career. Perhaps becoming a fisherman would be a good idea.

Even if he continued to be a pirate, he had to move to another place to avoid the evil spirit Jiang Qingzhi.

For example, if you go to the Portuguese territory, there are said to be many merchant ships there.

But what I didn’t expect was that I would meet Jiang Qingzhi at sea today.

On land, Ichiro Komura felt that he was no match for Jiang Qingzhi, but this was on the sea!
When it comes to naval battles, Ichiro Komura, who had just defeated a strong force with a weak one and captured two Ming warships, felt that he was invincible.

Jiang Qingzhi rashly went out to sea to pursue the enemy. Isn't this using his own weakness to attack the enemy's strength?
Defeat him!
Better capture him!

When the news that he had captured Jiang Qingzhi spread throughout the world, the name of Komura Ichiro would go down in history. His name would be spread all over Japan.

Daimyo from all over the country would rush to recruit him, and the downtrodden shogun would also send people to offer him a high position with both hands...

Even the puppet emperor would confer a title on him.

God!
You really treat me, Komura Ichiro, very well!
Komura Ichiro's face flushed. When countless flames suddenly burst out from the side of the Ming warship, he couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha! That's it?"

Last time, Wang Bie's warships also launched a firearm attack, but the firearms fell into the water halfway, causing Ichiro Komura to be alarmed. Later, he asked the Ming army prisoners, who said that the navy's firearms were poorly maintained and most of them were unusable.

He also tested the firearms on the captured warships and found that it was true.

"Kill them!" Ichiro Komura pointed his knife forward.

"Kill!" The Japanese pirates were extremely excited.

Wang Bie was right next to Komura Ichiro. At this moment, he had mixed feelings and felt grateful to have regained his freedom.

Seeing the Ming army on the opposite side launching an attack, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling that without his own Zhejiang navy, the country would be like a puddle of mud.

The firearms came towards them with flames and trailing smoke.

Some firearms turned inexplicably midway, to the left and right, up and down, but never moved forward.

But more firearms came straight at them.

Wang Bie's eyes narrowed...

Damn it!

This!
The firearms in these bastards' hands are actually better than mine?
What he didn't know was that the firearms made by the Armoury Bureau were not bad. The generals under his command followed him in smuggling and lived a fat and bloated life, and the maintenance of the warships and firearms was left to the lower-level soldiers.

The soldiers also shared some of the benefits, but it was pitifully small. People are like this, they don't worry about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

You guys enjoy the best food and drink, while we just get by with nothing. Why?
Therefore, the soldiers below just went through the motions, for example, wiping the outside of the firearms to make them look brand new.

Unlike Wang Bie, the other generals had a close relationship with Wu Jin. Wu Jin would not take them with him when he went smuggling, and he even had to be on guard against them informing on him.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sides was somewhat tense. In order to protect themselves, the generals did not dare to give Wu Jin and Wang Bie a chance to find fault with them, so they put some effort into training and maintenance.

It's just such a small difference, but it showed completely different combat effectiveness today.

From the pursuit of Wang Bie that surprised Jiang Qingzhi and others, to the firearm attack at this moment, Wang Bie almost popped his eyes out.

"This is not right!" Wang Bie exclaimed, then suddenly fell to the ground.

Ichiro Komura still kept pointing his knife at the opponent, and when he saw this, he rushed forward without hesitation.

Then, firearms came pouring in.

Boom boom boom!
With a roar, the firearms crashed headfirst into the warship.
The explosion was not powerful enough to kill anyone, but the ensuing flames engulfed the warship.

The sail was hit by a firearm and quickly burned under the influence of the sea breeze.

According to the Ming Navy's operational manual, a group of people should be assigned to put out the fire at this moment.

But these officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, and their minds were full of thoughts of escaping.

Wang Bie lay on the deck and shouted, "Fire! Fire!"

But apart from a few confidants, no one listened to him.

"We lost!" Some people even ran on the deck, shouting everywhere.

Mao Shunchang cut Wu Jin's rope, and when a rebel came running over, he stretched out his leg to trip him, snatched the long knife, and killed the man with one stroke.

"Hurry, hide!" Wu Jin also grabbed a knife, and the two rushed into the cabin. Deputy Captain Chen Yu was tied up and thrown in a corner. When he saw the two coming in, he struggled desperately.

Mao Shunchang cut Chen Yu's rope and said, "Follow me and wait for the right opportunity to act."

On the opposite side, Jiang Qingzhi looked at the attack effect and shook his head slightly.

But Zhang Tong applauded and said, "Well done, well done, better than the fireworks in the palace during the New Year."

This is a naval battle, not fireworks... Zheng Yuan glanced at the young eunuch, and Zhang Tong sniffed, "What are you looking at?"

This person is the emperor's close attendant. With just one word, he can decide our life and death, honor and disgrace. Yesterday, Zheng Yuan accidentally heard what Lin Xi's attendant said. He was startled and smiled, "Young eunuch, do you want to watch the fireworks?"

"Is there?" Zhang Tong's eyes lit up.

As expected, he is a teenager, he likes this. Zheng Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, of course there is." He shouted, "One more round!"

The fire on the opposing warship was getting bigger and bigger, so it was reasonable to change the target of the attack...

Jiang Qingzhi turned around, frowned and said, "Stop it. When we get back to Beijing, let Shitou go with you to set off the fireworks."

Zheng Yuan was startled, worried that Zhang Tong would get mad, but he saw Zhang Tong scratching his head, like a teenager being scolded by his father and brother, "Okay."

Nima!

The attendant beside His Majesty was so respectful to Long Wilbur? !
The thigh I'm holding is so fucking thick and powerful!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yuan's whole body was burning with heat. He drew his sword and shouted, "Turn!"

The fleet began to turn and aimed its broadside at other enemy ships.

The two captured Ming warships now became two torches on the sea, and the remaining rebel warships began to flee as usual...

"Come back!" Wang Bie stomped his feet and shouted like crazy.

But this is the custom!

Run away when you encounter an enemy!
And those small boats of the Japanese pirates...

They were terribly panicked when they saw that the two warships, which they considered to be divine weapons, were damaged by the so-called muddy Ming navy.

This is wrong!

This is not mud at all, it's clearly Tiger Guards!

Jiang Qingzhi was personally in charge of this battle. The fighting power of those naval officers and soldiers who were usually frustrated and could only watch Wang Bie and his subordinates enjoy the good life while they could only drool on the sidelines, burst out at this moment, which was shocking.

they!

It’s so hot!
"Fire!" the general roared.

"Boom boom boom!"

Flames rose and waves of firearms flew over.

Those small boats could not withstand such an attack. After being baptized by a wave of fire, they all turned into torches.

The Japanese pirates jumped into the sea one after another. Xiaocun Yilang got up at this moment, kicked Wang Bie down, and said with gritted teeth: "Is this the mud you mentioned?"

This is countless times more powerful than your combat power!
"Chief!" Qian Yun ran over in a panic.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Ichiro Komura chose to escape without hesitation.

He hurriedly got off the warship and boarded his original 'flagship', "Let's go!"

"Wait for me!" Wang Bie also chased after him, but just as he was about to get off the boat, several figures rushed out in the fireworks.

One of them knocked Wang Bie to the ground.

The other man raised his knife and cut the rope in one stroke.

The only way out for the remaining Japanese pirates was to jump into the sea.

Wang Bie struggled hard. He turned over and saw, "Chen Yu!"

Chen Yu pressed him down, and Ning laughed, "You bastard, you also have this day? Hahahaha!"

Mao Shunchang was fighting with a Japanese pirate with a knife. This big man had not been in battle for many years, so his knife skills were unfamiliar and he looked very dangerous. Wu Jin rolled his eyes, suppressed his fear, and worked with him to kill the Japanese pirate.

The opposing navy warships surrounded them.

I have made meritorious contributions while redeeming myself from my crimes... Wu Jin held up the pirate's head and knelt down towards Jiang Qingzhi at the bow of the ship, "Your subordinate Wu Jin, respectfully welcomes Lord Bo!"
