The Ming army fleet had arrived at Tsushima Island and was composed of more than 20 warships of all sizes.In addition to fifteen Ming army warships, some ships from North Korea were accompanied.
Two treasure ships of two thousand-level materials in the navy floated on the narrow sea surface of the front port of Tsuma Port, with an extremely shocking scale, like two cities floating on the water.
The Yin treasure ship is the flagship of the fleet, which is in the ship that eunuch Zhou Quan, Wan Liang, the commander of the Lu Division, as well as the Jinshi civil servants and the generals of the Jinyiwei military guards of the Beijing Trail Office, were all on this ship, and there were more than 200 officers and soldiers of the Lu Division.
Wan Liang was not responsible for commanding the water battle. When he walked to the deck of the bow of the ship and watched the sea surface of the port, the water battle ahead had already begun.
It was explained that the military vanguard warship suddenly appeared in the port, blocking some Japanese pirate ships that had not set sail in the bay, and then began a fight.
As a general who commanded more than 500 soldiers of the Lu army, Wan Liang was not of high rank among the generals, and he was a thousand households before he went to the expedition.
However, Wan Liang is a military general in his twenties, and it is not easy for him to be a thousand households at a young age.
The reason why he was able to become a fifth-rank military officer was because his father was a hundred households in the Sichuan garrison; then he encountered the battle of slaughtering crimes, and after being incorporated by the Han Wang Army, almost all military generals were promoted.
Thinking about it, this is quite magical. Wan Liang was indeed a navy general before, but he was just active on the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River (Yangtze River). This time he went on the expedition, it was the first time he had seen the sea in his life.
However, the water battle on the sea at this time seemed to be similar to the battle on the river.The navy officers and soldiers first attacked with long-range weapons, and then boarded the ship to fight.
The sea was covered with smoke and thick smoke everywhere, with black smoke burning from ships and white smoke burning from gunpowder.
Countless fires flying in the sky, like fireworks during the festival.
The Divine Fire Flying Crow and various rockets all showed arc trajectories in the air and flew into the air above the Japanese pirate ships on the opposite side.
Those rockets whistled in the air, but most of them could not control their correct heads and flew everywhere. Only rockets that were close could hit enemy ships.
After a divine fire flying crow hit the enemy ship, the gunpowder exploded and emitted a dazzling light in the smoke.
The noise of sea breeze and waves has turned people's shouts and muskets into hazy, and it has all merged into the noisy wind and waves.
In the distance, rows of fires as big as beans appeared first, and after a while, I could vaguely hear the crackling sound like fried beans.
Most of the main sails of the Yin treasure ship had already descended and gradually moved closer to the far dock at a very slow speed.
On the sea where the treasure ship passed, Wanliang saw someone falling into the water on the water.They were hissing and shouting for help, some were swimming desperately, some were shouting with wooden boards.
However, the Ming soldiers on the deck did not save those people.Scattered sounds of bangs and strings came one after another, and the soldiers were shooting people in the water as targets.
The eunuch Zhou Quan said: Those ships were Japanese pirates, and the ships were full of Japanese pirates with unforgivable crimes, doing all kinds of evil activities in plundering the coast. The military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty and the Korean countries hated it deeply.It is also a death sentence to save him, and the Dharma is the most convenient way to rectify him on the spot.
Wanliang nodded and said yes.
When the treasure ship is closer to the dock, the battle on the sea has basically ended.A storm ship approached the flagship, boarded a ladder, and sent the prisoners they captured in the battle.
A group of prisoners was noisy and noisy, tied into a run of ropes.
There were actually people who spoke Chinese inside, and they were calling out, "Sir, please spare your life."
Wan Liang also heard that among the Japanese pirates, there were not only Japanese ronin refugees, but also a large number of Han fugitives, bandits, Koreans, etc., who worked as pirates together.
There were actually a few naked women on board the boat behind.Their hair was chaotic, and they were all very panicked, and their skin exposed in the sea breeze was pale.
Amitabha... As one of the translators on the boat, a Korean monk hurriedly turned his back.
Zhou Quan and Wanliang, the two pedestrian officials and navy generals briefly discussed for a while, and soon made a decision.
Japanese pirates are all death row crimes, and direct execution can avoid the trouble of guarding and save fresh water and food; and those women are mostly looted women and should be released without acquit.
After a while, under the command of the general, several soldiers took the felt blanket and gave it to the women, so that they could wrap their bodies.
Then a pedestrian (official position) and the translator walked over and announced in three languages: Mandarin, Korean, and Kyoto Japanese: According to the "Ming Dynasty Law", you and others were punished for treason, murder, robbery, adultery, and arson, and were executed according to the law!
The prisoners who had just boarded the boat struggled and started shouting, but they could not break free from the ropes, and were surrounded by soldiers wearing strong and held sharp edges, and they immediately became in chaos.
A team of Ming soldiers had already lined up and lifted the loaded Chunhan light gun.
Bang bang bang bang... There was a sound, and the screams were deafening.The woman's desperate scream made people's ears hurt.
Then the soldiers holding the cherry gun rushed up and stabbed the injured criminal who was not dead and was lying on the ground.
The shouting sound soon became smaller and smaller, and the criminals fell into a pool of blood.
The sergeants lifted the bodies and threw them straight into the sea.
After a long time, several buckets of sea water washed up on the deck, and the dark red blood flowed out along the drainage hole.
At this moment, a raging fire ignited on the dock by the sea, and several thick smoke soared into the sky.The Japanese on the shore burned the pier, and many were retreating towards a town in the distance.
Everyone watched the scene on the shore, and a general said: The Japanese in Tsuma Port should have been shocked by our navy and gave up the dock's defense.
Wan Liang couldn't help but say: It may also be because we killed the prisoners and were seen by them, and the Japanese army was going to defend the town and resist stubbornly.
The eunuch Zhou Quan said: The next thing to capture the city of Tyrannosama is the matter of thousands of households.However, Master Lu could no longer land on the treasure ship, so he could only take the sand ship.
Wan Liang said: Wang Baihu, who ordered the treasure ship "Yangzhou" to lead the army to take the lead and land on a sand boat.Wang Baihu should build simple ditch wall fortifications on the dock, arrange defense lines to guard against the enemy, and attack against the enemy; at the same time, send scouts to search for nearby military information.
A general behind him said: Get the order!
Because of the navy's signal, it can only convey pre-determined news such as attack, retreat, formation, etc. Wan Liang's military order just now is a little complicated, and the army can only send people to convey the news.
There were several slender and brisk sentry ships around the flagship. One of the sentry ships was ordered and sailed towards the Yangzhou treasure ship on the other side of the fleet.
The Japanese army had completely abandoned the pier, and no armed forces were found on the coast and on the front mountain to the right.Because the wharf facilities were destroyed, it was a bit troublesome for the Ming army to land, but it went smoothly.
Next night that day, the Ming army built military camp fortifications on the coast, and more and more soldiers landed on sand boats.
Felt tents, grain, horses, and some artillery and ammunition were also transported to the military camp one after another.
Thousands of households came ashore and were responsible for commanding the land division's march and formation, so that the eunuch Zhou Quan was still on the treasure ship.
The Land Division had only more than 500 people. Even if it was transported by sand ships, most of the soldiers and supplies could get ashore in one day tomorrow.
Only the Tian-sized Hanwang cannon weighing thousands of pounds will be very troublesome, and Wanliang is expected to complete the landing within three days.
After Wanliang got ashore, he quickly found out the nearby terrain.
At first glance, this pair of horse islands was filled with mountains, and the large area did not look like a crowded forest.
Tsushima Port is located in the southwest of the island, divided into Qiangang in the south and Hougang in the north; the place where the Ming army landed is Qiangang.
The land between Qiangang and Hougang Bay is a mountain range on the east coast, with only a relatively flat land in the middle; to the west of the flat ground there is a larger mountain range.
And the Tsuma City Village is on the west side of that flat area.
On the coast of the east, the Ming army scout asked the local farmers and learned that the mountain in the south was called the front mountain and the back mountain in the north.
Several burned piers and the Ming army camp are located at the foot of the mountain on the west side of the Qianshan Mountain; to the southeast of Tsushima City.
There was a sip of spring water on the front mountain. After Wanliang tasted it, he found that the taste was not very good. But compared to the salty and astringent sea water, everyone finally found a reliable source of fresh water.
The next day, after the Ming army occupied the Qianshan Mountain, Wan Liang took more than ten cavalry and began to go north along the dirt road on the west side of the Qianshan Mountain to observe the defense of the Taima City Village with his own eyes.
The weather was clear, and after more than ten riders walked across the dirt road, a piece of dust was left.
On the left side of the dirt road is the bay and on the right is the front mountain.
Wan Liang turned his head and looked at the hillside on the right. When he saw a Ming army flag on the mountain, he felt much more at ease.
A general flag leader next to him pointed to a wooden building on the mountain road to the west: What kind of archway is that?
At this time, the Korean monk said in Chinese: General, that is not a archway, it is called Torii.According to the Japanese, as long as you pass the Torii up the mountain, you will reach the territory of the gods.
After hearing this, everyone looked around.The chief flag leader still muttered: It looks too much like a archway.
Wan Liang also felt this way. He felt a strange feeling. The things here seemed a bit familiar to the Ming Dynasty, but they also meant completely different.
The group rode over the front mountain and arrived at the slightly flat open land.
Scattered villages have appeared in sight, and there are also some small pieces of rice fields and vegetable fields.
But the village is not in an open area, and it is easy to see here. It is located on a hillside in the western mountain range. The village is against the mountains and is in front of it with an uphill road, and the location is very defensive.
As they gradually got closer, Wan Liang saw clearly that the walls around the city were made of wood and mud.He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: This wall cannot defend against cannons, and it is easy to capture the city.
The Korean monk reminded: General Wan, beware, most of the Japanese walls have defenses inside the outer walls.In addition to the roundabout inner walls and alleys, the taller house in the middle is also a fortification, called "Mounmaru".
I will understand.Wanliang nodded.He sat on the horse's back and watched from a distance.
Two treasure ships of two thousand-level materials in the navy floated on the narrow sea surface of the front port of Tsuma Port, with an extremely shocking scale, like two cities floating on the water.
The Yin treasure ship is the flagship of the fleet, which is in the ship that eunuch Zhou Quan, Wan Liang, the commander of the Lu Division, as well as the Jinshi civil servants and the generals of the Jinyiwei military guards of the Beijing Trail Office, were all on this ship, and there were more than 200 officers and soldiers of the Lu Division.
