Guns have a wooden pole at the back and an iron or copper pipe in the front. It was not until the middle of the 15th century that French cannons began to appear in naval battles. Their main purpose was to suppress the opponent's firepower by the rate of fire and cover the enemy's sailors.

, this is no different from the current Ming army warships.

But that was sixty years later.

"This is the goods you want. The first batch is these two bags. You take a look at the goods first!"

Yang Wen pointed to the two sacks and said.

"So fast?"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

Then he opened the sack and looked at the fish vine inside.

But it's not completely sun-dried, it can only be said to be slightly sun-dried.

"There are them in Zhejiang, but the more you go south, the more they are in Guangdong and Guangxi. Another businessman from Fujian said there are a lot of them in Xiaoliuqiu, and there are more in Nanyang. The most in our area are in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Yang Wen said.

In fact, this is all over the south of Zhejiang.

However, the types are different and belong to a general category. The ones most suitable for use as pesticides are said to be introduced from Nanyang, but local varieties are also suitable, and it just depends on the effectiveness of the medicine. Another one that is widely used is the one from across the Taiwan Strait.

There is a subspecies there that is also very suitable for pesticide use.

"The good things in Xiaoliuqiu are not limited to this. There are sulfur, deer, camphor, and the best cypress for shipbuilding in the mountains. The land is fertile, with three crops a year in the south. There are also whaling grounds along the coast. It can be said that everything is available."

Yang Feng said.

"Don't always tempt me to wait."

Yang Wen said calmly.

It was like an old man being taken to watch some special performance.

"Man, why don't you take Wu Gou and capture the fifty states in Guanshan!"

Yang Feng said.

"The poor bones by the Wuding River are like the ones in the spring boudoir dream?"

Zhang Xianzong said.

"But the bones by the Wuding River eventually left the land where their bones were buried to future generations."

Yang Feng said.

"But what were obtained by the bones by the Wuding River? Later generations can indeed say that they left the land for future generations to bury their bones. But that is what future generations said. Of course, future generations have to say so if they benefit from the legacy. But for Wuding

For the people living by the river, what did they get?

Relatives waiting in tears?

I advise you not to talk about the matter of making a marquis, as one general will make thousands of bones wither!"

Zhang Xianzong said.

This issue is obviously one of position.

For Yang Feng, it is natural to open up and open up again, but for the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, they are now very satisfied, and there is no need to fight for the development. The development will be fine, after all, the main purpose is to cut off the flanks of the remaining Yuan, which previously included the slaves.

Including Ergan City, they were all officials of the Yuan Dynasty, so it was only natural to beat them.

Profit and other things are secondary.

Beating Hu Yuan was the unanimous decision of the Ming army and the people at this time.

We will fight as far as Mobei, and we will fight no matter how many people die.

This is not a matter of interests, but of enemies.

You can also fight against Japan.

After all, it was the Japanese pirates who first harassed the Ming Dynasty. Since they dared to attack the Ming Dynasty, of course the Ming Dynasty would kill them and beat them. This is also naturally correct.

but……

There is no need for anything else, right?

Something good?

Have land?

But Ming Dynasty has no shortage of them!

On the contrary, in today's Ming Dynasty, beyond Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the rest is vast and sparsely populated. The entire north is only a little more than Shandong. The rest, all the way to the southwest, is vast and sparsely populated, and it is a wasteland as far as the eye can see.

Is the Ming Dynasty short of land?

What Ming Dynasty is missing is obviously people.

During their debate, the huge naval fleet left Taicang, moved forward along the Yangtze River, and took advantage of the low tide to leave Chongming Sands. However, Chongming was the northern channel at this time, and a large area of ​​land on the north bank was not yet out of water, so the width of the Yangtze River Estuary was almost modern.

Twice the number. After leaving Chongming Sands, we turned south and rode the north wind southward. We met at Nanhuizui and Jinshan and other naval warships from various defenses in Hangzhou Bay. Because the latter brought a large number of relatively smaller warships, the scale expanded.

to two hundred ships.

On the sea, it can be said that the sails are like a forest, and the strength of the world's most powerful navy is fully displayed.

But they had to find the Japanese pirates first.

"This is Sizhou Pond."

A fellow officer of Guanhaiwei pointed at the map that Yang Feng was rushing to work on on the ship and said.

That is Shengshan Island.

This is indeed the most common place for Japanese pirates to hide.

"Then go and destroy them!"

Yang Wen said.

At the same time, Zhang Xianzong took out a ruler, measured it on the map, and then calculated the distance based on the scale, just like a staff officer.

"I think we should wait first?"

Yang Feng touched his chin and said.

"what for?"

Yang Wen and a group of generals looked at him.

"If the Japanese pirates ask for help from Imagawa Sadao, then the reinforcements sent by Imagawa Sadao must also go there to join them. After all, the first thing they need to replenish from the Japanese country is to replenish fresh water. Such a controlled foothold is inevitable.

Rushing to meet up.

It is winter now, and the wind at sea is basically northerly, and the wind direction will not change.

We have a tailwind from here to there.

Let's wait here.

Then send people to patrol that area. If they find that the reinforcements are passing by, it would be best if they can intercept them halfway. They can annihilate the reinforcements directly at sea. If they cannot intercept them and let them reach Sizhoutang, then it is nothing more than going to Sizhoutang to clear them out.

."

Yang Feng said.

"But after they merge with the Japanese pirates in Sizhoutang, it will be difficult for us to eliminate them."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Ha, what are you afraid of if you have me?

Besides, it’s not like we can’t continue to mobilize troops. The Japanese pirates have limited sea transportation capabilities. Even if they can have a few reinforcements, they will only have tens or tens of thousands of people. How many people do we have on both sides of Hangzhou Bay alone?

Jinshan Guard, Haining Guard, Shaoxing Guard, Linshan Guard, Guanhai Guard, Changguo Guard, not counting the bunch of guards in Hangzhou City. It can be said that 50,000 elites can easily assemble. As long as the Japanese pirates gather in one place, are we still afraid of them?

Is there too many people?”

Yang Feng said.

"Just like this, the Japanese pirates along the coast will be extinct after this battle."

Yang Wen said simply.
Chapter completed!
