Qin Huaidao's eyes were as cold and sharp as a knife, and he was determined to go back without getting the evidence. It would be a waste of time. The Li family of Zhao County was protected by Li Er and could not move unless they broke into each other or carried out an assassination. But even if they succeeded, they would not be able to nail the Li family of Zhao County.
It is not advisable to die on the pillar of shame, or even have the reputation of being a victim, and become an indiscriminate murderer.
If you want to play, then play thoroughly!
"Baolin, take Huying with you and bring all the sea ships back to buy a large amount of saltpeter, clay pots, cotton thread, iron nails, etc. I will make a list for you to specify the specific quantity requirements. Take all the loot captured and take the money.
Go buy the necessary supplies, let the transportation team transport the rest back to Chang'an, and return as soon as possible."
The fleet sent by the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty contained a lot of gold and silver treasures and Japanese specialties, and there were also many on Danluo Island. It was just good luck to return, and Yuchi Baolin fully agreed.
Qin Huaidao quickly asked people to find charcoal and white paper and wrote a list. After the meal, Yuchi Baolin hurriedly left Huying and his belongings, heading west.
The Wolf Camp was divided into three, one part continued to carry sulfur, one part patrolled and guarded, caught fish and cooked, and the other part cut down hard wood trees to burn charcoal at Qin Huaidao's request. Qin Huaidao himself took a few careful people with him.
Process the sulfur and clean out impurities.
The conditions are not enough, so the cleaning method is very primitive and crude, which is to roughly screen the sulfur, then smash it into granules, put it in a clay pot, add filtered spring water and adsorbent charcoal, white clay, etc., and cook it until it is heated to 130
At about a certain temperature, the crude sulfur melts to obtain a mixture of crude liquid sulfur, water, and adsorbent. Stir for about an hour and pour it into another large container.
After letting it stand for a period of time, the mixture will be divided into three layers. The lower layer is made of insoluble solid particles and a tar layer with a larger specific gravity. The upper layer is water, and the middle is a liquid sulfur layer. The upper and lower layers are not needed. Filter the middle layer to obtain liquid sulfur. After cooling
After obtaining higher purity sulfur, it is left aside, oxidized, filtered, and cooled, and the quality will be higher.
Everyone in the Wolf Camp was busy.
I was so busy that I lost track of time, and half a month passed before I knew it.
At noon that day, Yuchi Baolin returned with a sea ship filled with necessary supplies.
Qin Huaidao went up to meet him and asked eagerly what was the biggest worry in his heart: "How is Chang'an...?"
Yuchi Baolin quickly said: "The day after landing, the transportation team came from Chang'an and said that the North Korean government's discussion about the number of workers in Qinjiazhuang, which affected farming, was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a trend of forced intervention and cancellation. There was nothing else.
All the necessary supplies have been purchased, including a lot."
"Thank you for your hard work." The stone fell in Qin Huaidao's heart. Qinjiazhuang employed tens of thousands of workers, and the scale was indeed not small. Li Er obviously saw the harm and used the excuse of affecting farming to cause trouble. As long as the people are fine, the labor force will be lifted.
, I’ll clean it up when I get back.
The losses caused by the termination of employment will definitely be recovered tenfold or a hundredfold.
Everything is ready, and the next step is to make explosive bags. Qin Huaidao, a clay pot, is ready to make earth mines. The power is not very powerful, but it is enough to be ahead of the curve in this era.
The gunpowder formula was the core. Qin Huaidao didn't want to reveal it, so he prepared it himself and gave it to everyone to pack it into clay pots and compress it to make earth mines. He then specially selected a group of people to make the explosive packs.
Two thousand people worked intensively for three days to produce 20,000 earth mines and 5,000 explosive packets. Both the earth mines and the explosive packets were mixed with iron nails to increase their attack power.
Everything was ready, and the team headed towards the Japanese country with murderous intent. It was so majestic that there was no need to mobilize at all. Everyone was carrying a blood feud and wanted to kill all the Japanese pirates.
At dusk, the sunset glows densely.
A large island appeared in front of it, spread out in a long strip. The mountain was not high, but it blocked the way.
On a ship, Qin Huaidao stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the island in front of him, his expression calm.
"Are we here? It doesn't look like it." Luo Ying said in surprise.
"It really doesn't look like it. There is no one on the island. I'll ask Brother Shanbei." Yuchi Baolin left in a hurry and returned quickly, saying eagerly: "Brother Qin, there is an island group in front of you, five large islands and countless trails.
, there were originally many pirates and escaped criminals gathered on it, but Brother Shanbei captured them all and used them as an advance army. Those who refused were killed. Now there is no one on the island."
"The front is blocked, where to go?" Luo Ying asked curiously. As for the life and death of the pirates on the island, he didn't care.
"Go southeast and go around to Nagasaki, or go all the way southeast to Kagoshima." Yuchi Baolin said.
Qin Huaidao took out a map. This was a topographic map of the Japanese country drawn based on Brother Shanbei's dictation and his own experience in later generations. It was long like a worm with place names marked on it. It was not very detailed and could only be roughly judged. His eyes fell.
At the Nagasaki location, pick up the charcoal and add the island group in front of it to complete it, while saying: "Go southeast and detour to Nagasaki."
The order was quickly conveyed through the flagmen and the fleet changed its course.
After finishing the drawing, Qin Huaidao looked at the map and said: "It's not far from Nagasaki. We can get there before dark. Brother Yamabei said that Nagasaki has a deep-water seaport. We will land at the seaport. We will capture Nagasaki tonight and block the main road."
, the information must not be leaked, and those who resist will be killed without mercy, remember, take no prisoners."
The voice was cold and full of killing intent.
Yuchi Baolin and Luo Ying exchanged glances. They couldn't figure out why Qin Huaidao was so intent on killing the Japanese pirates, but they didn't ask any more questions and solemnly agreed.
"Luo Ying, Baolin, you two go ask Brother Shanbei and Su Wo Rulu respectively. Remember, words must be important. Don't let the other party know about each other's existence. Understand the military deployment of Nagasaki and come up with an attack plan."
"Follow the order." The two of them clasped their fists and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao continued to study the map. Ezo was the prime minister of Japan and was highly valued by the emperor. He was in a high and powerful position. Such a person would not compromise easily. Taking Nagasaki might not be enough.
Emperor Shumei lives in the Baekje Palace in Osaka Prefecture. It is not easy to fight all the way. There are several prefectures in the middle, and people from other places will be sent to help. It is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire Japanese pirates. This battle is not easy to fight.
Near Nagasaki are Kumamoto, Kagoshima, and four prefectures, which together form an island, facing other places across the sea. Judging from Brother Yamabeko's confession, the population is not large. If we win, it can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
However, Soga Ezo may not necessarily compromise, and it may even arouse the same hatred of Japan, which is also very troublesome.
Is it to capture the islands one by one and advance towards Osaka Prefecture step by step?
Or should we attack Osaka Prefecture directly, catch them off guard, and force Soga Ezo to hand over the letter?
Both plans have their own pros and cons, and it was hard for Qin Huaida to decide between them for a while.
Not long after, Yuchi Baolin and Luo Ying came over in a hurry. Luo Ying rushed over and said: "Uncle, the two confessions have been checked and they are basically consistent. There are about a thousand Nagasaki defenders and less than 10,000 local people. Most of them are arrested.
They make a living from fish, and others are merchants. There are some tribes in the mountains, and the royal family and nobles often suppress the tribes in order to unify the Japanese country."
Luo Ying hurriedly explained: "According to Souga's explanation, the Japanese country was still divided a few years ago. There were more than a hundred local clans and tribes, and they fought continuously until they established a big tribe two hundred years ago. The leader's name was Amaterasu.
Later, this tribe annexed more tribes, large and small, and today it has unified the Japanese country and became a royal family. Other tribes that surrendered not far away were suppressed and hid in the mountains to live."
"Yes, this is consistent with what Brother Shanbei explained, but the number of people is not large and they cannot make waves, so the Japanese royal family left it alone and allowed it to develop." Yuchi Baolin affirmed.
"There are not many people in the tribe? What a pity!"
Qin Huaidao had a pity expression on his face. He thought he could take advantage of the hidden hatred between the tribe and the royal family to form an alliance. But there was no one left and the alliance was useless. He could only rely on himself. He looked at the two people and asked: "How is the battle plan on the top of the mountain?
tell me the story."
"In the past, we were just defenders. I, the Wolf Camp, took the lead and could kill half of them with one charge. It's not a big deal. I asked my brothers from the Tiger Camp to help suppress the formation, blockade the main roads, and capture the government offices in half an hour." Luo Ying said confidently.
"Wolf Camp has repeating crossbows, which are more suitable for long-range pressure, support and blockade of key roads. Let's go to Tiger Camp." Yuchi Baolin said quickly, unwilling to give up the opportunity.
Qin Huaidao also felt that it made sense. The Wolf Camp consisted of repeated crossbows, which were suitable for long-distance battles and difficult battles. Close combat was really not suitable. Seeing that Luo Ying still wanted to persist, he waved his hand and said, "According to what Baolin said, this battle must be fought quickly."
To make a quick decision, the Wolf Camp will land first, clear out the enemies at the wharf, cover the charge of the brothers from the Tiger Camp, and use earth mines to clear the way when they reach the government office, then directly explode them, and capture them all in one go, leaving no one behind."
"Follow the order!" Yuchi Baolin's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
Military orders are like a mountain, and Luo Ying cannot fight anymore.
"Go down and prepare. Bring enough weapons to land. After the battle is over, slowly unload the remaining supplies. I will lead the village guard team to stay behind to guard the ship and wait for good news."
"Follow the order!" They both agreed at the same time and hurried to prepare.
The fleet continued to move forward with murderous intent.
An hour later, the sky darkened, and a huge island appeared in front of us. Nagasaki had arrived.
Qin Huaida stretched his body and felt a little excited. He could finally kill the Japanese pirates. He went to the island to fight and did something that future generations wanted to do but had no chance to do. It felt good to think about it.
