Chapter four hundred and ninetieth island extermination
Two days later, Song Yang successfully arrived at Quanzhou Port.
Looking at the renovated Quanzhou Port, Song Yang was very satisfied.
Quanzhou is indeed an extremely important port in Daqian and has a very early history of development.
It is the central hub of Daqian maritime trade.
There are four old deep-water berths alone.
When Song Jing took over the renovation of the Guangzhou Shipyard and Quanzhou Shipyard last year, he also upgraded the Quanzhou and Guangzhou ports.
Quanzhou now has six deep-water berths.
"A Yang, you've worked hard all the way here." Song Jing went to the dock to greet Song Yang in person.
Officials from all over Quanzhou also came to meet their actual leaders.
Song Yang quickly disembarked from the boat and came to Song Jing and said, "Uncle San, you have worked hard these past few years!"
In the past two years, Song Jing made great contributions to the unification of various parts of Lingnan.
A large area of territory to the west of Lingnan Road was conquered by Song Jing.
After that, he focused his energy on dealing with Japanese pirates and operating the port fleet.
It can be said that if it weren't for the help of his third uncle Song Jing, Song Yang would really be at a loss for what to do.
"A Yang. Third uncle's ambition is to help you create the glory of Daqian. Don't mention the hard work." Song Jing said with a smile on his face.
Now Daqian has basically completed its unification.
The strength of Daqian is close to that of the past.
The most important thing is that under Song Yang's leadership, Daqian's development momentum is unrivaled.
Soon Liuqiu, Japan will be included in the territory of Daqian.
The most disappointing thing for Song Jing in his life was his failure in competing for the crown prince position.
But what pleased him the most was that he was now following the son of his old rival, and actually created a more powerful Da Gan.
The uncle and nephew were polite, and Song Yang asked Tong Qian, Shen Xiaowan, Lia, and Lan Zhen to bring the third baby to meet the third uncle.
When Song Jing saw the steamed buns, he liked them very much.
"Third Grandpa gives you a good thing!" Song Jing said and asked someone to get a bag of candy.
"No! Take it and eat it!" Song Jing touched the head of the steamed bun.
Steamed Bun looked at the caramel and his mouth was drooling, and he reached out to take it.
Tong Qian tapped Mantou's shoulder from behind.
Steamed Bun looked back and then remembered what he should do.
"Thank you Chengye..." Steamed Bun looked up at Song Jing. He was just thinking about the candy and forgot what to call it.
"Bastard! Call me Third Grandpa!" Song Yang slapped the steamed bun's butt and taught him a lesson.
"Hey! How can you beat a child? What's wrong with him being so young?" Song Jing pulled the steamed bun behind him to protect him and said to Song Yang while looking at him.
Song Yang pinched his nose and said, "Uncle Third, I just gave him a gentle pat!"
"Thank you, Third Grandpa!"
Someone was covering the bun, so he stood up immediately and dared to make faces at Song Jing's father behind his back.
Song Yang was so angry.
Tong Qian and the other four girls all covered their faces and smiled.
"Four nieces-in-law! You all have to work hard! Whether Lao Songjia can prosper in the future depends on you!" The third uncle picked up the steamed buns and said to Tong Qian and others.
Tong Qian and the other four people who were still laughing at first felt embarrassed immediately.
"Haha! Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go! Let's go back first and have arranged a place for you." Song Jing laughed loudly, hugged the steamed buns and walked forward.
…
"Japanese pirates are now short of food and plundering Wanwan Islands more frequently, forcing Wanwan Islanders to stay away from the seaside."
"Many of the islanders who make a living by fishing have gone to the coast on the east side of the bay. The conditions there are more difficult, there is almost no development, and everything has to be started from scratch."
"The Japanese pirates have been severely blocked by us. Now they don't dare to come to Daqian to plunder. If they can't get supplies from Wanwan, they may give up on the island."
After dinner, Song Yang immediately held a meeting to exterminate the Japanese.
Song Jing first talked about the situation of Japanese pirates on the Daoyi Islands.
"Abandon the island barbarians? Do they want to run back to Japan?" Song Yang asked with a frown.
"Eighty percent yes. I have captured a few alive before. They said that the leader of the Xiaoquan family on the island has the idea of abandoning the island and returning to the Japanese mainland."
"This can't work! We can't let them run away! They have done so many bad things in Daqian, why should we let them go back to Japan to live happily?" Song Yang said, tapping the table heavily.
Song Jing originally thought that as long as the Japanese pirates returned to the Japanese country and everything was clean, everything would be over.
Unexpectedly, Song Yang wanted to kill the Japanese pirates directly.
"If you say so, Ayang, you guys came at the right time."
"Now that the island is short of supplies, the morale and combat effectiveness of those Japanese pirates must be greatly affected. If we attack now, we will be able to catch them off guard."
Song Yang looked at Sanri and asked, "What do you three think?"
Ritu on the mountain said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Our Tokyo Battalion can set off at any time! If it is true as the king said, the little dog family on the island may be in chaos now. Now is indeed a good time to send troops."
Inoue Nichiwa also added: "Those Japanese rogues have always been able to share wealth and wealth but not adversity. Now they are short of food and clothing, and maybe they are already fighting among themselves. If we send troops now, we will definitely wipe them out."
Watanabe Niyu stood up and lowered his head and said: "I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Sanri very much agreed with Song Jing's suggestion and said that they could immediately take action against the Japanese pirate Xiaoquan family in the Daoyi Islands.
"Look, old horse..."
Song Yang looked at Ma Cheng, who spread his hands and said that he had no experience in naval warfare.
Of course, Ma Cheng also said that if you don't want the Japanese pirates to escape, it's best to attack the Daoyi Islands immediately.
Finally, there is Wei Nan. This guy has no objections. He is a landlubber and is not even familiar with water battles.
He came here entirely to prepare for the subsequent recovery and management of the bay.
Song Yang looked around and saw that everyone had similar opinions.
So he nodded, pointed at the map of the Bay Islands and said:
"Okay, since everyone agrees to send troops, I, a layman, won't say much. Tomorrow, I will use the third day as the vanguard officer to lead the Tokyo Battalion to launch a war of annihilation against the Japanese pirates entrenched in the Daoyi Islands!"
…
Early the next morning, the Tokyo Battalion, Jiangzhou Navy, and South China Sea Fleet set out together. There were more than 200 large and small warships in total, approaching the Daoyi Islands in a mighty manner.
On the third day, I drove a three-masted, sail-oar-equipped boat, which was extremely fast.
The 30 clippers of the Tokyo Battalion's vanguard fleet took the lead and quickly led the way forward.
It is almost 170 kilometers from Quanzhou to Daoyi Islands.
The speed of Tokyo Camp's clippers can reach about 14 knots, which is about 25 kilometers per hour.
It only takes less than seven hours to get from Quanzhou to the home of the Japanese pirates.
We set off at ten o'clock in the morning and arrived at the waters near Daoyi Islands at just noon.
The Japanese reconnaissance ship also quickly discovered Sanri's fleet.
They hurriedly went back to report the news, and the Japanese pirates on the island immediately had a dispute over this matter.
Some of them, led by the Xiao Inu family, did not want to fight with these fleets of unknown origin. They wanted to return to the Japanese country immediately.
The opinion of some other ronin is to continue southward and go further to live in the Luzon area.
The little dog family is a fallen samurai of the Japanese country. With his current strength, he can still be reused by some big names when he returns to the Japanese country.
But those ronin were of low status and were not directly related to Xiao Quan's family.
The most important thing is that they are used to being undisciplined. If they are allowed to go back and listen to the discipline of the daimyo, they will not want to go back.
Finally, there is a small group of people whose opinion is to continue to fight against Da Qian.
They did not want to go to Japan, nor did they want to go to Luzon.
The identity of this small group of people is Daqian pirates!
For them, Daqian is their hometown, and they would rather fight with the army here than seek life in a foreign country.
Koinu Ichiro looked at the quarrels, his brows furrowed.
Although he is the nominal leader of the island, the people under him also work in their own way.
When conditions are good, everyone still listens to his instructions.
Now it's difficult to eat, and those prodigals and local pirates don't want to hang out with him anymore.
"Everyone! No matter what you choose, we will come up with countermeasures immediately! The fleet has already arrived at the doorstep!"
"Since some people want to go north and some want to go south, in my opinion, everyone should go their separate ways!" said a ronin leader.
He is the second in command and the leader of the Ronin side.
Koguichiro looked gloomy. He wanted to bring everyone back to Japan. In this way, he would have a bigger bargaining chip and the daimyo he could rely on would be more powerful.
Now, this is obviously impossible.
"Brother Shan, if we all leave, how will you choose? Why don't you come back to Japan with me? I can guarantee that your status will be higher than it is now!" Koinu Ichiro looked at the Daqian pirate leader Li Dashan.
Li Dashan originally wanted to fight to the death with Da Gan Guanjun, but the current situation is that it is obvious that they are going to break up.
If they continue to stay there will be death.
After weighing the left and right, Li Dashan made a decision and said: "That's fine! Then we will go to the Japanese country with you!"
"Okay! Let's make an agreement then!" Koinu Ichiro was delighted, and he finally managed to attract hundreds more people.
"Hmph! Ichiro! Without further ado, let's just say goodbye!" The leader of the ronin saw that Inu Ichiro didn't want to delay any longer, so he stood up and walked out.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Ronin leader had just stood up when a rumbling sound came from outside.
"Sure enough, the army is here! Let's go!"
They had several battles with Song Jing's South China Sea Fleet, and those tiger cannons caused them great losses.
Now they just want to leave immediately.
Soon the three groups boarded the ship respectively, and Koinu Ichiro took most of the fleet and began to retreat northward.
"Boom boom boom!"
As soon as they left the port, they met the three-day fleet outside.
There was no intention to talk for three days, so they started to open fire when they met.
A burst of cannonballs came down and sank three or four of Koinu Ichiro's boats.
"Baga! These Daqian officers and soldiers are so abominable! They are trying to kill us all!"
"Humph! They only have about thirty ships! If you ask me, we will fight them directly!" Li Dashan snorted coldly and said while looking at the three-day fleet.
Xiao Inuichiro looked at Li Dashan and said with a change of eyes: "Brother Dashan said it politely! I think they only have thirty artillery pieces, but we have nearly a hundred boats. Your boats spread out to surround them, and my main force is attracting them from the front. .”
"Let's give them a wolf pack tactic!"
Li Dashan frowned. Although he didn't want to go back to the boat, he finally decided to give it a try.
If he can seize a gunboat with a large number of officers and soldiers, he will be prosperous.
Li Dashan returned to the boat, took his men, and spread out with the boat, forming a semicircle and surrounding the fleet of three people.
