Chapter 996: Torpedo Mine

The area of ​​Jiuzhou Island is about 40,000 square kilometers. There were originally nine small local countries here, so they were named Jiuzhou Island. However, since Jiuzhou Island was ceded to the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jin immediately erased the names of these nine small countries and re-divided Jiuzhou Island into nine counties according to the Ming Dynasty administrative method, and established county schools and prefecture schools to naturalize the local Japanese.

Unfortunately, these measures had just begun to be implemented, and Wang Zhi and his son rebelled. Local officials sent by the court were either killed or detained, and the naturalization policy set by Xu Jin was naturally stranded.

Moreover, during the rebellion of Wang Zhi and his son, in order to consolidate their status, they implemented bloody rule and were killed and detained at all times. Therefore, the local Japanese did not have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, but were more hatred.

Osumi Island and Kyushu Island are across the sea, not far away, so the news of Wang Zhi and his son's defeat spread soon. The Japanese on Kyushu Island took the opportunity to rebel, and naturally the rebellion of Wang Zhi and his son. In just one night, Kyushu Island, which had barely maintained unity through bloody suppression, was divided into pieces.

As the saying goes, planting melons and planting melons and getting beans. Mao Haifeng finally tasted the bitter fruit at this time. There was a large army of rebellions from the court in front, and a local "mob" who wanted to kill him quickly. In desperation, he had to retreat to Nagasaki Prefecture.

I believe everyone is familiar with Nagasaki. It is an unlucky place where the Americans threw an atomic bomb in later generations, almost dead in the whole county. It is located on the western coast of Kyushu Island. Now Mao Haifeng has deployed his navy and all his troops around Nagasaki Prefecture, trying to resist stubbornly.

On March 25, the fifth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin personally led the Ming Navy to the sea near Nagasaki Prefecture.

Mao Haifeng obviously learned from Osumi Island's lesson. After discovering the traces of the Ming Navy, he immediately ordered his navy to sail to the sea to fight, so as not to be taken away by the opponent's long-range heavy artillery before he even set up his formation.

As the saying goes, one force is reduced to ten times. In the face of absolute advantage, all tactics and techniques have become less important. With Xu Jin's order, the Ming Navy set off a formation on the sea. Ten red cannons took the lead and roared and released their terrifying power. Then thousands of warships pressed forward, and guns and cannons were bombarded, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time...

Boom boom boom boom...

The sea near Nagasaki Prefecture was filled with artillery fire, and the fire of gunpowder was filled with fire, which made the local armed forces who were trying to take Li in the fire and retreated in fear. The broken copper and iron in their hands were not enough to see the Ming army. It was a joke to take Li in the fire, and it was almost the same as moths to the fire.

The naval battle lasted for about an hour, and Mao Haifeng's fleet was basically crippled. Of course, the Ming army suffered heavy losses, and there was never a complete winner in the war.

"Fire the cannon!" Mao Haifeng stood on the bow deck of the command ship, roaring with red eyes, like a wounded beast.

At this time, a sharp roar came from the sky, and a hot shell hit the ship where Mao Haifeng was located. But with a loud noise, the tip of the stern of the ship was blown up on the spot, and a spiraling wooden board cut off the throat of a nearby rebel soldier.

"General, we have been hit, retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, it will be too late. Stay there, and you won't be afraid of burning firewood!" Mao Haifeng's personal soldiers shouted at him the words he had shouted three days ago.

Mao Haifeng glanced at the only seven-headed warships around him, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh to the sky, gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Get away, go to Zhang Guo!"

At this time, Mao Haifeng thought of his ally Ori Nobumiko, and now he could only rely on Ori Nobumiko. He helped her so much, and now she should help herself.

The soldiers on the mast watchtower waved the order flag and sent a signal of retreat. Mao Haifeng's ship turned around and fled to the northern sea surface. The other seven warships quickly adjusted their sails to follow.

Behind the Ming army's navy, Xu Jin was standing on the deck of the ship, using a telescope to pay attention to the battle situation in the distance. Xu Peng, Duke of Wei, also held a monocular telescope to join in the fun.

"Hey, Lord Xu, look, the other party's warship seems to be about to escape!" Xu Pengju said proudly, stroking the short beard under his jaw.

Xu Jin smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy to escape."

Xu Pengju's heart moved and suddenly woke up Xie Sanqiang, who had been secretly sent by Xu Jin before the war started. He couldn't help but pat his forehead and said: "General Xie must have been waiting in the north. Lord Xu predicted the enemy's initiative and used troops like a god. I admire him!"

Xu Jin chuckled and said, "The Duke of the State is praised. Mao Haifeng is now surrounded by enemies. Only Orishi Miko, an ally, has no other way except to escape to Okara."

Xu Pengju nodded and said, "What Lord Xu said is very true. But in front of our Ming Dynasty Invincible Fleet, I am afraid that even the King of Heaven will not be able to guarantee that Mao Haifeng will be comprehensive."

Let’s talk about Mao Haifeng leading the remaining eight-bowed warships to escape to the north. At this time, the southwest wind was blowing, and the ship was traveling very fast, and it quickly drove out more than ten miles. What made Mao Haifeng strange was that the Ming army seemed to be in a hurry to chase, but just sent a few warships to follow him from afar.

Mao Haifeng was not stupid, and suddenly felt uneasy. He kept using a telescope to observe the sea in front. Fortunately, the sea in front of him was endless and there were no ships intercepting it.

"Hey, what is that?" Mao Haifeng suddenly felt nervous, and some strange wooden boxes floating on the water surface appeared on the sea surface several miles ahead.

Just when Mao Haifeng was in amazement, the fleet had already sailed near the wooden boxes. At this time, the eight-bow warships were bulging their sails, and the ship was very fast. It was impossible to turn the rudder to avoid the wooden boxes.

The first warship flew into a wooden box and directly crushed it. A loud bang came from the bottom of the ship, and the hull was shocked. The rebels on the ship were shocked and looked at each other for a few seconds before they were frightened to find that the hull began to tilt.

"Not good, the bottom of the ship is broken!" someone suddenly shouted.

In an instant, fear spread rapidly like a plague. The rebels ran around the deck and screamed. Someone tried to run to the bottom of the bilge to see a hole. But they found that the sea water was pouring in frantically. The bottom of the ship was blown up with a big hole as thick as a bucket. How could they see it?

Boom boom boom boom...

The wooden boxes exploded one after another under the ship, and Mao Haifeng's ship was not spared. The bottom of the ship was blown through and sank quickly. Everyone on the ship exclaimed desperately.
