: The soldiers are in Fukuoka

Generally, supply in war is a headache, so you should know how difficult it was to transport at that time.

But sea transportation is not a problem, it is a hundred times easier than land transportation.

There is no problem with the supply of the Ming army, but it is completely different in Japan.

The entire Japanese sea area was blocked by the Ming Dynasty, and the outside material could not be in.

Japan is originally a resource-scarce island country, and most of its living materials rely on imports.

The food they have already cultivated is also far from being able to solve the problem of domestic food and clothing.

In the past, most imports relied on the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Now not only did the Ming Dynasty stop exporting all its exports to Japan, but also blocked its coast.

In this way, in just three days, the prices of daily necessities in Japan have soared due to material scarcity.

Although the Ming Dynasty was powerful in the past, the Japanese never took the Ming Dynasty seriously.

Instead, he often harassed the coast of Ming Dynasty and invaded North Korea, the island country of Ming Dynasty.

In order to support the vassal states, Wanli even launched one of the three major battles of Wanli.

Although it hit Japan's Toyota Hideyoshi, it also significantly affected the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Japan never thought that the Ming Dynasty would have such a great influence on them today.

The blockade of Japan alone will cause problems in their country. If this happens for a long time, the influence of the shogunate will greatly decrease.

At that time, all the daimyos will definitely rise up to oppose the shogunate. You should know that there are more than 200 vassals in Japan at this time.

Faced with the Ming Dynasty blockade and invasion, the shogunate did not believe that the Ming Dynasty could take over Japan. No foreign invasion of Japan has been successful in history.

The Daming of the various vassals was required to unite closely and resolutely give the invading Ming army a fatal blow, so that they could retreat in the face of difficulties.

Once the Ming Dynasty fails, the Ming Dynasty will not only withdraw its troops, but will also lift the blockade of Japan's sea.

The defensive power of all cities along the coast of Japan is increasing.

In Japan, Kyushu has relatively strong military strength due to the existence of the Satsuma Domain, and it can be said that it is no less than Edo.

The Japanese built a large number of stone walls in Fukuoka Beach, the largest city in Kyushu Island.

Their main purpose of building stone walls was to block the landing of the Ming army, especially the cavalry of the Ming army.

Fukuoka is so big that even if the Ming army lands, it will be difficult to advance quickly without cavalry.

Historically, when the Yuan Dynasty invaded Japan, the Japanese built stone walls on the beach to prevent the Yuan Dynasty cavalry from landing.

The Yuan Dynasty's strength was entirely due to cavalry. Stone walls did play an irreplaceable role in blocking the Yuan Dynasty's cavalry and eventually won the victory.

This time, the Japanese also built stone walls on the beach, and they responded to changes in the same way.

At the same time, 50,000 troops were deployed behind the stone wall. Once the Ming army landed, they would bombard Ming warships with artillery on the shore.

When the Ming army warships broke through the bombardment of artillery landed on the beach, the bows and arrows behind the stone walls would once again give the Ming army a fatal blow.

If the Ming army breaks through the defense of the stone wall again, the problem is not very big, and there are 50,000 troops waiting for another army.

The 50,000 people had 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and there were 5,000 suicide squads among the infantry, all of which were Japanese samurai.

These Japanese samurai have practiced killing since childhood, and have been practicing for more than ten or twenty years now. It can be said that they can't do anything but killing people.

Think about it, during the Jiajing period, during the invasion of the coast of our Ming Dynasty, dozens of Japanese pirates could compete with hundreds of Ming army soldiers.

Among them, there was a group of more than 30 Japanese pirates who almost fought from Taizhou to Nanjing.

If it weren't for the appearance of the Ming Dynasty's war god Qi Jiguang, it would have been a long time since he wanted to completely quell the Japanese pirate rebellion.

The leader of the first line of defense was Tanaka Jiro, and his mission was to fight against the landing of the Ming Navy on the stone wall.

Seeing many black shadows appearing in the distant sea, he immediately took out a single-tube telescope to look at it.

Unlike the Ming army, there was a magical emperor, which not only had advanced firearms, but also had high-power telescopes.

At that time, the Japanese had a single-tube telescope, which was already very luxurious.

They are all bought from the West at a high price, and only senior commanders can own them.

Through the single-tube telescope, Jiro Tanaka saw dozens of warships coming in the wind and waves.

Among them were six or seven warships he had never seen before, with no sails, and two huge chimneys.

"Please note that the Ming warship is coming. Once they land from here, we will kill these Ming dogs hard. We must let Ming dogs know that Japan is not their place to go wild at any time."

"yes"

A general took the opportunity to offer another plan:

"Sir, kill these Ming dogs, we boarded their warships and went to the coast of Ming Dynasty to rob them. I heard that the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai are good..."

"Well, Japan is short of material resources now, and you have a good idea."

When the Japanese saw the arrival of the Ming fleet, they not only were not nervous but thought about going to the Ming Dynasty to rob after victory.

I can only say that their hearts are higher than the sky and their life is thinner than paper, and their ideals are plump and realistic is skinny.

The Ming fleet that came was the navy led by Zhang Huangyan and Li Dingguo's Dragon Flag Special Forces.

Zhang Huangyan and Li Dingguo were standing on the deck of the Hongwu battleship.

After carefully observing the situation on the Fukuoka coast from the telescope, Zhang Huangyan put down the telescope and said:

"Governor, look at Fukuoka Beach. The little Japanese has built a stone wall there. It is obvious that they want to use the stone wall to prevent the landing of our Ming army."

Hearing Zhang Huangyan's words, Li Dingguo also raised the telescope hanging on his chest.

If you see a long row of stone walls by the sea, Li Dingguo couldn't help but show a contemptuous sneer on his lips:

"Governor, little Japan is wasting his efforts. The small stone wall should not be able to block the bombardment of my Ming naval cannon, right?"

Zhang Huangyan laughed:

"Of course, Japan's city walls cannot block the bombardment of my naval guns. The stone walls that do not even have cement have no survival ability in front of my naval guns."

"A man came and sent the order from the governor, and the fleet approached Fukuoka Miri and directly bombarded the father's coastal fortress.

After knocking down the coastal fortresses, the stone walls on the coastal beaches were flattened to protect the landing of the Ming Dragon Banner Army.

After the Dragon Flag Army landed, the warships continued to bombard the Fukuoka coast, and the Marines landed in another direction."

"yes"

With the order of Zhang Huangyan, sixty sailing warships and six armored warships quickly approached the Fukuoka coast.

About four miles from the coast, the Japanese turrets aimed at the naval warships.

As long as the Ming Navy enters their artillery range, the Fukuoka Fort will immediately launch a bombardment.

When the Ming warship was three miles away from the coast, the shore artillery was ready to ignite.

Their shore gun range is about 1,200 meters, and if they are farther away, the hit rate is almost zero.

As a result, the Ming army warship stopped advancing at a distance of 1,500 meters and turned the warship sideways to the coast.

"Eight squares, what do these Ming dogs do? We can sink them after moving forward for another two hundred meters."

The commander on the small Japanese fort saw that the Ming army stopped moving forward and kept cursing.

Although he was scolding him fiercely, he was actually praying in his heart, praying that the Ming army would better turn around and leave the Fukuoka coast, after all, no one was willing to fight.
