623 This official is going to sleep first!
"Do you think the famous Zheng Yiguan is just that capable?" Ii Yi Naoko looked at Liu Bide, who was standing with his hands hanging down from the side, and then said, "Just rely on him, can you deceive Zheng Yiguan?"
Zong Yicheng was stunned when he heard his words. When he came to his senses, his face changed. He quickly explained: "Master, I have asked him carefully, but he has never revealed any flaws. Moreover, he is already the smartest and capable person under my command. I..."
Hearing his words, Naota Ii reached out and shook his hand and said, "I don't blame you!"
"But Zheng Yiguan was not fooled, then..." Zong Yicheng was a little confused when he heard this. When was this big boss so easy to talk to?
When Ii Naotao heard this, a hint of pride appeared on his old face and said, "I have expected this plan to be hidden from the official Zheng. Therefore, what should I mind?"
So that's it! Zong Yicheng felt relieved when he heard this. But when he turned around, he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. He knew that he could not hide it from Zheng Yiguan. Then you old man asked me to do it. Did you let Zheng Yiguan be a monkey to see it?
Although he was thinking this way in his heart, he still asked respectfully on the surface: "What does the big boss mean?"
"I want Zheng Yiguan to feel that the Japanese navy has set up a trap here waiting for him." Naoko Ii sneered, "However, I was surprised, just when he thought I would never attack Busan, he would attack Busan with all his strength!"
This sentence seemed a bit confusing. So Yoshien-seung thought for a while before he understood Naotaki Ii's intention. So he immediately showed a sudden enlightenment and quickly praised: "So that's the case, a good plan! If the boss's trick is used, then Zheng Yiguan would definitely not have expected to be attacked by the Great Japanese navy. It's extremely wonderful!"
Seeing his happy look, Naota Ii was slightly proud, then stopped his smile and said, "If you attack after midnight tonight, you are familiar with the water, so you will send someone to lead the army to attack Busan."
"Ah..." When Zong Yicheng heard this, he was dissatisfied and quickly cried out, "Big Boss, my Ma Fan has been in war this year. He has served for the Great Japanese Kingdom many times before, but now he really can't send any troops. Busan is on the opposite side..."
In the past, the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, the Tomotomi Fan was forced to send troops, exhausted all of them, and sent a thousand troops. This time, when Japan was transiting the border, there were actually people who had already recruited the Tomotomi Fan as the guide of the army, and now they were going to recruit them again. Judging from this situation, all the fishing boats in the Tomotomi Fan might be used. So Yoshiseki was naturally reluctant to do so.
However, when I heard what he said, Naota Ii's face sank and said "Yeah".
This voice was like a huge rock hitting Zong Yicheng, which scared him so much that he quickly changed his words and said, "But the eldest son's life, no matter what, it must be completed."
If he offended this old guy and was punished by him, even the general would probably not have any objection, and no one would be able to protect him. Therefore, Zong Yicheng had to bite the bullet and change his words.
So, the next thing So Yoshi Cheng became busy again, so he immediately went back to draw personnel and ships to cooperate with Naota Ii.
In fact, there is another reason why Ii Naotaki decided to act in the second half of the night, and he did not tell Soyosuke.
What if Zheng Yiguan was so stupid that he was really fooled? If this is the case, he would definitely be stronger than the Japanese army taking the initiative to attack Busan! Therefore, he had this hope, and wait for the Ming Navy to see.
As a result, what he said before was correct. The Ming Navy had no trace at all, which means that he would not have been fooled and would not have been attacked.
So, Naotaki Ii gave the order, and two thousand warships were not hidden, and they were divided into ten routes. Under the cover of night, they rushed straight to Busan.
Standing on the high ground of Tsushima Island and watching the vast army hide into the darkness, Ii Naotao sneered at Soyosuke who was by his side, saying, "I want to use the eagle to fight the rabbit, and when he was unprepared, he crushed Zheng Yiguan in one fell swoop. In today's battle, it depends on how he will fight with me!"
The Ming Navy's troops were only more than 300 warships, and their land troops were not much. On our side, two thousand warships faced the attack on Busan. In addition, he also prepared a series of moves. He could be sure that even if Zheng Yiguan had the ability, he would definitely be beaten in the face of absolute strength!
"That's right, the eldest son has come out in person. No matter how much Zheng Yiguan said, he can't be his opponent." Zong Yicheng could say anything, and he couldn't say anything else, so he quickly agreed.
It was because of this absolute strength that he chose to continue to hold the thigh of Japan. Otherwise, if the troops were just about the same, he would definitely not have chosen this way.
Ii Naotaki looked ahead without any movement, and suddenly sighed slightly: "It's just a pity that Zheng Yiguan did not come out. Otherwise, the Red Barbarian warship could intercept Zheng Yiguan's retreat with the speed of the ship and the cannon. In that way, it would be much easier!"
Hearing this, Zong Yicheng next to him was shocked and forgot his identity for a moment. He hurriedly asked: "What, is the red barbarians from Taiwan here?"
The fighting power of the Red Yi on the sea is still very fierce, which is well known. As the island owner, Zong Yicheng is mainly engaged in foreign trade, so he naturally heard about it.
Seeing that he was so surprised, Naota Ii was slightly proud of himself and immediately replied: "It is the red barbarians of Nagasaki, the Great Japanese, but if there is any difference, it is just the red barbarians!"
The Red Barbarians, also known as the Netherlands, have a base in Taiwan, and there is also a place in Nagasaki, Japan, but this one is called the Dutch Nagasaki Merchant Hall.
At this time, due to the previous policy of closing the country, the Portuguese, that is, the Flangjimen, were expelled. Only Zheng Zhilong's ship and the Dutch ship could trade with Japan. However, in terms of scale or other aspects, the Netherlands could not compete with Zheng Zhilong. Especially after Zheng Zhilong defeated the Netherlands and wiped out the pirates on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, he dominated the sea. Even if the Netherlands wanted to pass safely, he had to pay protection fees to Zheng Zhilong.
Under such circumstances, how could these Dutch people who went to the Far East to colonize and wanted to gain benefits be willing to be protected by Zheng Zhilong? In the past, there was no way to go and had to hand over it.
This time, after the Japanese learned that the Ming Naolong was commander of Zheng Zhilong, at the suggestion of Naota Ii, Tokugawa Iemitsu personally promised the Dutch in Japan that as long as the Dutch assisted the Japanese Naoist to defeat Zheng Yiguan's fleet, the Dutch would dominate the trade in Japan in the future. In addition, the Japanese could even send the navy to Taiwan to help the Dutch occupy the trade there and divide the maritime interests.
When the Dutch heard this, they were naturally overjoyed.
They had always been defeated by Zheng Zhilong and had to pay protection fees, but they were actually unwilling to accept it. Because they believed that their ships would run faster than Ming's ships, and their cannons would be more accurate than Ming's cannons. It was just because Zheng Yiguan was fighting locally, and the number of people and the advantages of the ships were not enough to consume Zheng Yiguan's side, so they had to compromise and admit defeat to pay the money.
Now that Japan has joined in, at least Zheng Yiguan no longer has a numerical advantage in terms of number of people and warships. In this way, what are the Netherlands afraid of Zheng Yiguan for? Why do they have to pay Zheng Yiguan for free?
So, just like that, Japan and the Netherlands hit it off and got together.
At this time, when Soyoshi Cheng heard that the red barbarians came to help the Great Japanese war, the smile on his face could not be covered. He immediately smiled and flattered Ii Naotaki, saying, "The big boss is so famous that even the red barbarians are willing to be driven by the great Japanese war. In this battle, the big Japanese will win!"
After hearing this, Naota Ii turned his head and glanced at him. He didn't look much prouder. He yawned slightly and said, "I'm old, I'll go to bed first!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After hearing this, Zong Yicheng looked at the sea covered by the darkness, then turned back to look at the back of Ii Naotaki, with a hint of admiration on his face, and hurriedly chased after him and said, "The eldest son is so confident and calm, he really has the style of Zhuge Kongming!"
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has become very popular in Japan. Zhuge Kongming, established by Luo Guanzhong, was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and was used by Zong Yicheng to flatter him.
Naota Ii ignored him and just returned steadily. He used practical actions to tell the follower of Soyosuke: The war is coming, and I am so calm!
After Isui Naotao went back and went to bed, So Yoshiseen himself couldn't sleep. The decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and Japan would soon break out, and such a big war would be held at his doorstep. No matter who wins and who loses, it will have a great impact on Ma Fan.
Of course, eight out of ten, it must be the winner of the Great Japanese. But what if the Ming Dynasty won again, then the Ma Fan would be in trouble.
It is related to Ma Fan's future, how could Zong Yicheng sleep? He looked at Busan opposite him from a high place. He would have to have a result before he could truly feel at ease.
The night became thicker and colder, and it was October after all. However, Zong Yicheng was not sleepy at all and stared at the opposite side without blinking.
In Busan, except for the port where the harbor is hung with a suffocating wind light that can illuminate a very small area, other places are also shrouded in shadows. Except for the occasional sight of a few Ming sentinels, there are almost no one to see. The Ming warships anchored at the port fluctuate in the shimmer of moonlight and lanterns with the waves. Everything is almost no different from usual.
The Japanese Navy's vanguard fleet finally arrived very close to Busan. Seeing the movements of the Ming army, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
