Chapter 16 (Middle) Song of the Sea
Chapter 16 (Part 1) Song of the Sea
Ashikaga Yoshihiko raised the five-foot-long big sword in a daze and slashed forward. The leading white-faced man in the opposite queue waved his sword to meet him. With a "defying", the Tai-Sword claimed to have been cut into two pieces by his opponent this time. The upper half was drawn in a beautiful arc and flew into the water. The white-faced man looked at him disdainfully and retreated to the team. The Ming soldiers in the team formed a semicircle, forcing Yichun to the bow of the ship. The bright ghost-headed big sword pointed at Yichun together. The sword holder's eyes were extremely plain, as if he was looking at a lifeless object. This kind of vision was very familiar. When he asked his subordinates to tie the captured sea merchants to stones and sink them to the bottom of the sea, he liked to look at the resentful eyes of the sea merchants with this kind of gaze. Now, he knew that his deadline had come.
"Baga", Yichun cursed, not knowing whether to scold others or scold himself. He pulled out his close ribs, stabbed into his abdomen, cut them across, pulled them back to the bottom of the navel, and then cut them back to the throat from the bottom of the navel. Unfortunately, his opponent didn't know how to appreciate his art of suicide, nor did he want to see his dirty intestines, so he kicked him up and kicked him up to the ground with his back to the sky.
"Baga", Yichun cursed with the last strength, and before I closed my knees, my face was facing up, it also insulted the reputation of a warrior. However, he no longer had the strength to turn over and endured the severe pain in his abdomen. He murmured, "What's your name?"
Obviously he didn't understand what he said, the opponent lowered his head and stretched his ears to him with pity. "What's your name? Name?" Yichun repeated painfully. He was really unwilling to accept such failure. It was a great insult to fail at the hands of the merchant fleet after so many years. Therefore, he didn't know who his opponent was, so he died with his eyes closed.
"Fang Mingqian, Ming Mingfang Mingqian", after understanding his meaning, his opponent looked at him disdainfully, reported his name loudly, and turned around and walked away. Yichun had heard of these words, and he turned to the King of Hell to report. The Ming navy on the ship threw the bodies of the Japanese pirates into the sea, began to clean up the battlefield, rescue his companions and contain prisoners.
For the captured Japanese pirates, the experience of this day was like a nightmare. What’s different is that in this nightmare, God, who had always been silent, opened his eyes and sent all the Japanese pirates to hell.
"Tada, I don't know how the general will commend us when I go back this time." In the morning, Ashikaga Yoshiharu was enjoying the singing and dancing of the Chinese girls who were looted on the boat, while showing off to Takeda Junichi next to him. It has not been so much gain for several months. Recently, many garrisons have been built on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. The morale of the navy is very high. It is impossible to go ashore as a merchant and take the Chinese people to go ashore without any preparation. Many fleets have returned. Fortunately, the ships of the Ming Dynasty's navy are not fast and cannot catch up with them. However, I heard that some key points have begun to be equipped with new artillery, and the shooting distance is several times that of the original one. Many ships have been sunk by artillery. "This group of damn Chinese people don't obediently let me rob comfortably." The Japanese pirates who fled back reported angrily.
Since April, customs have been set up on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the customs have strictly abide by the orders and prohibited trading anything with Japanese merchants. Japanese merchants have improved the texture of the long knife exported to the Ming Dynasty by more than one level, and few people still do business with them. Under the strict investigation of the navy, some old customers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also stopped communicating with them. Although some bold smugglers secretly sent goods onto the ship late at night, this kind of behind-the-scenes trading cannot meet the needs of the nobles. The aristocrats' appetite for high-end Chinese porcelain, silk, tea and other high-end items has never ended. Some people have suggested to the general to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, restrain their subordinates, and no longer harass the Ming Dynasty's coast. General Ashikaga's attitude is now very vague and cannot provide high-end goods. He will lose the support of some upper-class society, but if he does not plunder, he is really unwilling to let so much money flow into the Ming Dynasty.
This time, Ashikaga Yoshi-ku left his country more than a month ago to test a new way to make money. For more than thirty days, they snatched enough merchant ships from Luzon, slaughtered the brigades and Goryeo on the sea. When they returned, they visited a small village near Ningbo, slaughtered two villages, snatched more than twenty girls, and prepared to dedicate them to the general.
"Ashikaga, let's hurry up. There is a saying in China that night is long and dreams. I heard that the deputy governor of the Ming Navy was Fang Mingqian who was traversing the sea back then, so he was not easy to get along with." Junichi Takeda suggested that he had always had an ominous premonition about going to sea this time, so he rubbed the longbow and wiped it uneasy every day. He was Ashikaga Yoshihun's deputy. The two cooperated very well. When Ashikaga led his people to jump on the merchant ship, he was responsible for leading the longbow to shoot cold arrows on the enemy ship.
"Don't worry, the Chinese navy cannot catch up with us. On the sea, it is our world. Fang Mingqian, I will cut off his head one day to see what it looks like." Ashikaga Yoshiharu said proudly that he was full of confidence in the water war. He was trained by his family as the commander of the navy since he was a child. Water war was his best show. Whether it was dealing with the caravan or the Ming navy, he had never suffered any losses.
"Report to the master, I found the treasure ship on the front right." The sailor in charge of contacting the lookout hand hurried in and interrupted the discussion between Ashikaga and Takeda.
"You want to go west, chase after me and tell your brothers that we are rich again." Ashikari put down the woman in his arms, put on a knife, and walked quickly to the deck.
Ten Japanese ships with Izumaru as flagship quickly lined up in battle queues and rushed towards the three treasure ships in front of them. The treasure ship is the common name of merchants and pirates for super-large lucky ships. This ship is suitable for offshore trade, with first-class manned and cargo capacity, with a wide and strong hull, and wooden sails like blinds can be used for many years without changing. The forwarding speed is slow and steady, and it is usually used to carry fragile items such as porcelain. Only on the sea surface where there are fewer pirates between Quanzhou and Luzon, this ship appeared. This time, Ashikaga picked up a big advantage and actually found a treasure ship near Chiwei Island in the Ming Dynasty. The ship was very dripping, and it seemed that it was transporting cargo to the ball. The merchant ship obviously also discovered pirates, quickly turned the bow of the ship, and drove to the near Diaoyu Island with the wind. It seemed that the ship boss wanted to use the reefs and water flow there to avoid Japanese pirates.
Ashikaga was not willing to give up. In terms of speed, the treasure ship was not the opponent of the Japanese ship. Soon, the Japanese ship was chasing closer and closer. On the deck, Ashikaga could already see the panic of the Chinese sailors.
"Bang", someone set off firecrackers on the treasure ship, and chaotic shells shot into the water on the right side of Izumaru from afar, and even a splash of water did not splash onto the Japanese ship. "Boom", the Japanese pirates laughed wildly. This short-range solid cannon proved that the strength of the treasure ship was empty. The Ming Navy has begun to equip the flowering bullets. Only such merchants who have money and no place to spend are equipped with such eliminated Mongolian cannons.
"Getting the slurry", Ashikaga Yoshiharu ordered the sailors to repeat loudly together. In an instant, like a big poisonous centipede, the Japanese ship stretched out countless slurry. The sailors exerted their force under the unified order, and rushed towards the target like a shark. Before the treasure ship could fire a few cannons, the pirates had already rushed to the dead range of the artillery.
"Throw the rope" and "jump the gang", as the commander shouted, the pirates threw out the flying grabs and hooked the treasure ship tightly. The treasure ship, which was originally not fast, stopped at once. The sailors on the ship abandoned the artillery and drew out the short sword to cut the cables thrown by the pirates. Before they could cut off a few, the Japanese pirates jumped onto the ship. With a wave of the long sword, one of the sailors who took the lead was dropped an arm by the Japanese pirates, and blood sprayed out from the wound like a spring. The sailors next to them saw that the situation was not good, quickly came to help, but the sword in their hands was far less sharp than the Japanese pirates. With the skillful sword skills of the Japanese, the sailors were immediately at a disadvantage. More and more Japanese pirates jumped onto the treasure ship one after another. In the air, cold arrows from Japanese pirates continued to shoot, and the sailors fell one after another.
Originally, there were not many sailors on this kind of treasure ship. After falling down for more than a dozen, they immediately lost their morale and turned around and ran towards the cargo hold. At the same time, the sailors tied the door inside hard. Through the crack of the door, the sailors looked at their companions struggling at the feet of the Japanese pirates on the deck, and burst into tears.
"The Chinese are stupid, come on, catch turtles in the jar." The Japanese pirates who quickly controlled the deck picked up all available things under the command of Ashikaga and smashed them into the cargo hold. The warrior who was responsible for covering his ship saw that he succeeded and took a springboard, and went up from the Japanese ship one after another. It was time to share the pie, so no one should leave.
The hatch door quickly opened, "Koizumi, take someone to come first", Ashikaga ordered it.
"Yes", the samurai, known as Koizumi, agreed and led people into the cabin with envious eyes. The advanced cabin door was a reward for the Japanese pirates to their accomplices. Those who entered the cargo companions first could choose a cargo in the cargo companion, including population as their own spoils, so the Japanese pirates who were chosen to enter the cargo companion first would feel very honored.
"Ah", soon Koizumi's happy cry came from the cargo hold, and there was "Miss Flower". Other Japanese pirates thought that their sinful minds had lost their judgment on the fact that the Ming cargo ship never carried female passengers.
With the "happy" cry of Koizumi and others, black things flew out one by one. The sailors on the deck finally saw clearly that it was the heads and limbs of Koizumi and others.
At the same time, a large section above the deck, countless doors were opened in the solid cargo hold. Countless Ming naval warriors were carrying big swords and quickly flashed out of the door, lined up in a striking shape, pressing towards the Japanese pirates step by step. The blade was shining with blue light in the sun. The soldiers who were just seducing the enemy were also lined up in the queue, and the weapons in their hands were replaced with ghost-headed big swords. The anger burned in their hearts, and they wanted to pay their blood debts.
"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are in the same comrade with me.
Wang Yu raised his army and repaired my spear and shared his enemies with his son!
Is it said that I have no clothes? I am the same as my son.
Wang Yu raised his army and repaired my spear and halberd, and worked with me!
Is it true that I have no clothes? I have the same clothes as my son.
Wang Yu raised his troops and cultivated his armor and soldiers, and walked with you!
Is it said that I have no clothes? I am with my son..."
The Japanese pirates didn't know what was singing repeatedly in the mouths of the Ming soldiers. The song was like a spell. With its rhythm, the Ming navy slowly pressed the Japanese pirates. The ghost-headed sword was chopped off, raised, raised, chopped off, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Their swordsmanship is very simple, only lattice, wash, strike, and stabbing, but it is very effective," Hiroyoshi Imakawa, the captured Hiroyoshi wrote this a few years later. He warned his family to never take the idea of looting the Chinese again. At this time, he had just boarded the pirate ship under the order of the head of the family. Not long after he was ordered by the head of the family, and because he did not stain much blood on his hands, he was later redeemed and became one of the living Japanese warriors who witnessed the battle of the Diaoyu Islands.
In the low war song, for the first time, the Japanese samurai knew what the Chinese bravery was. The samurai's flexibly took the sharpness of the Tai Knife to the extreme, jumping vertically and piping horizontally. The Ming sailors could not avoid it and fell in a pool of blood, but his position was quickly filled by the people behind him. The sharp blade of the ghost headed sword was outward and he pushed forward without retreating. The Japanese samurai who had the ability failed to get the chance to raise the sword again, and several large swords chopped him into pieces at the same time.
There was no roar or howling hysterically as the Japanese pirates. There was only the low chant in the entire Ming army, "Why do you say you are not clothes? You are with me..." The sound of a steel knife slashing into the bones makes people frightened.
The Taidao weighs less than five kilograms obviously is not the opponent of the Guitou Big Sword, which is nearly thirty kilograms. The Ming Navy waved the sword and cut it down. The head of the Japanese in front and the Taidao in their hands broke at the same time. The Japanese pirates behind saw that the situation was not good, so they dared not fight head-on. They relied on their flexible body skills to jump. As time went by, the place left for them to jump was getting smaller and smaller, and Japanese pirates continued to turn into minced meat under the Ming army's swords.
"Tada, damn Takeda," Ashikaga Yoshihiko shouted loudly, why don't Takeda support? "Shoot, damn Takeda." He reminded loudly, and sharp arrows like locusts roared, nailing the Japanese pirates in front of him to the deck. Ashikaga Yoshihiko looked back at his ship in surprise and saw Takeda's wide eyes, and those eyes were no longer alive. At some point, Takeda and his men had been shot into hedgehogs by the Ming army's archers. On the treasure ship, Shao Yunfei held the long bow in his hand and took a group of brothers to clean up the pirate's archers. Now he turned his head and pointed the arrow at the remaining Japanese pirates.
"Ah", some Japanese pirates could not stand the suppression of the Ming army, so they left their companions and turned around and fled. Someone set a precedent, and someone immediately followed them. The chaotic Japanese pirates rushed to their pirate ships.
"Shame, the shame of the warriors." Ashikaga Yoshiharu waved his sword to cut down several subordinates who were fleeing beside him, but he could not stop the defeat and was defeated. He was defeated like a mountain. After not having to hold on, he turned around and followed the chaotic army and jumped onto his ship. He could no longer wait for his companions to fall behind. The Japanese pirates who boarded the ship picked up the slurry and rowed desperately, regardless of the rain of arrows on his head. The ship moved for a moment and stopped again. The rope hooked on the treasure ship tightly grabbed it. The Japanese pirates who had feared that there were not many cables were hooked, cursing their companions at this moment, swinging their swords to chop the cables. From time to time, they heard the wail of their companions who had not had time to jump off the treasure ship when they died. A sour smell penetrated into Ashikaga's nose, and some of his subordinates were scared to pee their pants.
"Are you worthy of being a warrior of the Ashikaga family?" Ashikaga Yoshihiko shouted loudly, catching the bow and arrow on his head, directing his subordinates to chop ropes while chopping against the Ming army that jumped onto the ship. The ship was relatively backward, and there were only five or six people jumping onto the Ming army. Ashikaga could still control the situation. However, the archers on the treasure ship named the Japanese pirates besieging the Ming army one by one. Under the deterrence of sharp arrows, the Japanese pirates did not dare to rush too fast. Finally, the cables were cut off and the Japanese ship moved slowly. As long as the distance was wide, they picked up their lives. Ashikaga was sure that the treasure ship could not catch up with him. Looking back at the other ships, only two began to move, and the rest, including Izumaru, had already fallen into the hands of the Ming navy. The Ming navy holding a steel knife was not polite to these murderous devils, and those who surrendered slowly were cut into the water.
"I want to take revenge," Ashikaga Yoshihiko thought hatefully, directing his Japanese pirates to launch a counterattack against the Ming soldiers who were left alone on the ship. After shouting several times, his brothers looked at the stern of the ship in despair like clay sculptures. Following his subordinates' gaze, Ashikaga found that at some point, strange ships had been put into the water from the treasure ship, and were vehicles and ships used on the lake. At that moment, Ashikaga Yoshihiko realized that he could not escape.
Vehicles and boats are ideal tools for short-distance transportation on the lake. The hull is narrow and long, and it has never appeared in naval battles because it does not resist big waves and cannot carry food. If you only talk about speed, there is no ship that can compete with the vehicle and boat. Vehicles and boats that rely on their feet to push the wheels are faster than dragon boats in the race.
It was a sharp arrow flying over the water. Ashikaya closed her eyes. "Bang", the metal corner of the head of the car ship penetrated deeply into the stern of the fleeing Japanese ship, and the two ships were firmly combined. "Hu", a white-faced man jumped out of the air, and a sword flashed, cutting a stunned Japanese pirate into two pieces. His companions saw that blood flew into the air with bubbles in the separated ribs, and in the sun, it was particularly bright. There was no time to sympathize or regret, the Ming naval general on the car ship descended from the sky and landed on Ashikaya Yoshikura's ship. Fang Mingqian installed the springboard on the car ship showed powerful power at this moment. With this springboard, the soldiers carrying heavy steel swords became as light as swallows one by one.
"Mom", when death is approaching, Hiroyoshi Imakawa threw down the sword in his hand and hugged his head. A Ming soldier walked up to him and kicked him contemptuously. He obviously did not dare to be interested in those who put down his weapons, so he turned around and joined his own team. Hiroyoshi Imakawa revealed his eyes from his fingers and saw the blood of his companions splattering in the air like rain. There were not many Japanese pirates surrendered, and the Japanese pirates stained with the blood of the Ming people on their hands were struggling to death. They did not dare to surrender. After surrender, they did not know whether the victim's family would peel them. They owe too much blood debt.
"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are with your comrade..." The war song sounded again on the Japanese ship, passionately. The soldiers of the Ming Navy held a steel knife in their hands and approached the remaining Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates did not surrender, they would have only one fate waiting for them and die. When they peeked at the first day of their wealth in the Ming Dynasty, their fate was already destined.
In the summer of the 12th year of Hongwu, Fang Mingqian led the navy to meet the Japanese pirates and Diaoyu Islands. In this battle, Mingqian annihilated 400 Japanese pirates, obtained ten ships, and offered thirty-six prisoners. Twenty-two women rescued the invading women and offered more than 70,000 Japanese ships and supplies to the prince. The Ming Navy died in battle, and a Chinese man stained the East China Sea with blood. Alas, the sea has a soul, and the heroic spirit is not far away, and the eternal guard fishes.
(Note, this passage is used to commemorate the 29th Route Army soldiers who used a big knife to kill the enemy. The sword was used to chop the Japanese on the head, and this passage is used to shout for the warriors who protect the Diaoyu Islands. This is the only way to do this).
