Chapter 134 The Root of the Japanese Invasion(2/2)
Let’s deal with the Japanese pirate deer king who is about to land in Fujian first.
From Alfonso's mouth, Su Ze also found out about the Deer King.
King Shika is the leader of a group of wandering samurai in Kagoshima. After joining the service of Mingshan monk Xu Feng, he recruited ronin samurai from the Japanese country and formed a pirate gang composed entirely of real Japanese.
It is said that King Deer has a thousand Japanese soldiers under his command, but according to Alfonso's information, King Deer led a total of 1,500 Japanese soldiers in his invasion of the southeast this time.
Lu Dawang has nearly 30 large and small ships, and has now issued a note to all forces in the southeastern coastal areas to blockade the southeastern waters.
According to Alfonso, although Japanese pirates often broke out in the southeastern region of the Ming Dynasty, there was still some order amidst the chaos.
For example, when a real Japanese like King Lu wants to invade, he will notify the nearby merchant ships and other forces and ask them to leave the combat area within a time limit.
Alfonso has also received the note. He originally planned to evacuate the southeastern waters within a time limit after completing the delivery of the goods at Yuegang.
The ultimatum given by King Lu to Alfonso and the Portuguese was in early September, which was consistent with the information Su Ze received from Zhang Haihu. This was the day when King Lu was preparing to fully invade the southeast.
Of course, the Japanese pirates doing this do not mean that the Japanese pirates abide by the rules, but that they are trying to make a living on the sea. It is often the case that there is me among you, and there is you among me.
Today's Japanese pirates may be hired by the Portuguese tomorrow to suppress a Nanyang kingdom that is trying to rebel.
The Japanese pirates may one day need to do business with the Portuguese and purchase their food and weapons.
You must know that when these Japanese pirates burned, killed, humiliated and looted in Fujian, there was no morality at all.
For Su Ze and Changning Wei, Japanese pirates are life and death enemies, and only dead Japanese pirates are good Japanese pirates.
The atmosphere in Changning Guard became even more tense. While reading the military book sent by Yu Dayou, Su Ze was tinkering in the blacksmith shop and finally developed his blacksmith skills.
I have to say that the blacksmith skill is really difficult to master. Su Ze remade almost all of Chang Ning Wei's farm tools, and then he reached Level 3, 10/300.
By the time July 27 came, Su Ze finally finished reading Yu Dayou's Military Book, and the system popped up a prompt:
[Read the book of war, "Art of War" skill +20, Lv5, 3/1000]
[The art of war skill breaks through Lv5, please extract passive skills.]
In the transitional chapter, I am a broken-chapter dog. Stop scolding me. Stop scolding me.
1. Let’s first talk about the financial issue in general. There are many reasons for the incomprehension of money laws, and this issue is quite complicated.
2. There are many reasons for the Japanese Rebellion. Bai Yin’s story is a personal one, but it is relatively credible.
Later in the Wanli year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked North Korea and asked the Ming Dynasty for an armistice condition, which was to pay tribute from Ningbo and to open a trade port. However, after the Ming army defeated the country, Japan also began to seize the country, so this matter was not mentioned again.
3. The policy is very complex. In fact, it cannot be said that sea bans have no benefits. Everything has pros and cons. It is also naive to think that sea bans can solve all problems.
4. A fat bird is not a pure fan. I agree that the Qing court was reactionary and cruel, and that there were no good things in the feudal dynasty. If you don’t agree with me, you can read "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" to treat hypotension.
