Li Qing led the fleet to sail along the route from the Song Dynasty to Japan. Along the way, Li Qing had robbed seven or eight ships and had reached his destination. The reason why he kept floating on the sea was because Li Qing had not found a suitable island for landing as a stronghold; on the other hand, Li Liangzuo was waiting for the Japanese pirates entrenched in this area. After all, the crew members on the ship were more vigilant, and their vigilance would decrease once they landed.

Satsuma State Prefecture, the guardian palace.

A small warrior hurried in and reported to a middle-aged man: "The group of pirates who guarded the merchant ships everywhere have been found. They are wearing skeleton flags and are still cruising in the southwest waters."

A fierce light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes and said, "Supervise them closely and wait for the next order."

"Hayi!" The little warrior took the order and left.

This middle-aged man is named Shimazu Tadahisa, who is the Satsuma Kingdom of Japan, Osumi Kingdom, and Hinata Kingdom. The so-called country of Japan is actually a local administrative agency, "Registering the State", not a vassal state. Today, Japan divides the country into five valleys and seven roads, and each road is divided into various countries. The capitals of each country are called national governments, and there are national governments in the state government, which is similar to the county magistrates here.

However, at this time, due to the rise of the manor system of the Wa Kingdom and the rise of the samurai class, the control of Japan over various places was declining, and some new families were emerging in the local area, controlling a large amount of land, population and resources. The Wa Kingdom had begun to enter the situation before the separatist rule of the princes. Tadaku Shimazu was such a prince. After years of hard work, the Shimazu family finally gained actual control of the three kingdoms of Satsuma, Osumi and Hinata, and was canonized by the Japanese emperor as the guardian of the Three Kingdoms.

At this time, Tadaku Shimazu was very annoyed because Li Qing's appearance hindered Tadaku Shimazu's interests. The Japanese pirates entrenched in the southwest waters of Japan were actually the minions of the Shimazu family. Li Qing's appearance robbery of merchant ships along the way was equivalent to robbing food from the Shimazu family! This is definitely not allowed by Tadaku Shimazu.

On that day, Tadahiko Shimazu issued a military order for Satsuma, Osumi and Hinata Navy to all go to Kagoshima to assemble, and the Japanese pirates controlled by the Shimazu family had already begun to act, and a naval battle was inevitable; Li Qing led a fleet to sail eastward in the southwest waters of Japan, and the entire fleet was on the highest alert and ready to deal with the invading enemy troops at any time.

"Prince, the ship that was tracking us was retreating." Zheng Baolin walked to Li Qing and said.

Li Qing looked at the distant sea and said, "It seems that they are ready to start and tell the brothers to be ready to fight at any time."

"Prince, we only have eight sea boats, and the enemy situation is unknown. I only see if we retreat first," Zhou Hai suggested to Li Qing; "After all, we are fighting at the doorstep of someone else's house."

"It's not good to run away if you don't fight this battle!" Li Qing said: "Don't worry about those things first. Since you're here, you have to at least touch it. This sea area is a mountain of gold! Isn't it a pity to just leave like this?"

Li Qing has made up his mind to fight this battle. Li Qing also knows that his troops are limited and the enemy situation is unknown. The purpose of this luggage is to focus on reconnaissance and temptation, and large-scale operations are still to come!

The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, a fleet of Japanese pirates came towards him. Li Qing was watching the Japanese pirates rushing towards him on the deck, saying that they were a fleet and they were all raised. At most, they were a fleet. The models of the fleet were very messy, including merchant ships, fishing boats, flatbeds, etc., and the ships were not large and were all small boats. The largest ship was similar to the Flying Fish, which was only about a thousand materials.

"Prince, although the enemy ships are not large, they seem to be at least fifty or sixty." Zhou Hai said to Li Qing with some trembling heart; "As the saying goes, 'Two fists can't beat four hands', otherwise we should retreat!"

"Why didn't I find you so brave before? If you are afraid, go back to the cabin and I will go to the battle to command myself." Li Qing put Zhou Hai down and said, "Send the order to flood the fire and prepare the rocket crossbow."

With Li Qing's order, all the soldiers began to carry the fierce fire from the cabin on the bottom floor, and all the fire crossbows were ready to go. After the Japanese pirates' ships entered the range, Li Qing decisively issued a military order and said: "Let it go..."

Fireballs flew towards the Japanese ship, and the Japanese ship hit instantly ignited a raging fire; Li Qing ordered again: "Boundler, aim at the Japanese ship in front and shoot me an arrow..."

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..."

Rockets rose into the air, and the Japanese ships charging forward were attacked one after another. Although the Japanese pirates also shot rockets and fought back, they had no choice but to find that the range of their bows and arrows was not that far, and they were completely in a passive situation. However, the arrows were also exhausted, and the arm strength of the archers who had time could not bear it.

So after a few rounds of arrow rain, Li Qing ordered the stop to shoot arrows, but even so, it caused great casualties to the Japanese pirates. But this was not the end. Li Qing relied on his ships to hit the Japanese pirates' ships, which was basically one-sided crushing. Under the impact of the Beihai Gang ships, the Japanese ships broke one after another, and the Japanese pirates had no power to resist. Li Qing's tactics were completely aimed at the weaknesses of the Japanese pirates. In the past, Japanese pirates fought on the battlefield, relying on bravery and sharp Japanese swords, but now all this has changed.

The Beihai Gang fleet crashed in the Japanese pirate fleet, and the Japanese ships sank into the sea. Within two hours, the Japanese pirates lost two-thirds of the sea ships. Under such a blow, the Japanese pirate leader Masao Yamashita could no longer hold on; the mountain shouted at the top of his throat: "Retreat, retreat..."

"Prince, you see that the Japanese pirates have retreated..."

"I'm going to chase me. This battle is not something they can fight if they want. I have to wipe out all these pirates today." Li Qing said in a swelling confidence.

Although the North Sea Fleet was damaged, it did not lose much combat power. Under Li Qing's command, he pursued the Japanese pirates relentlessly and chased them to Zhudao, the old nest of the Japanese pirates. The location of this island is really good. It is located on the only way from the route from the Song Dynasty to my country. Further ahead is the Dayu Strait.

When he arrived at Zhudao Island, it was already dark. In order to prevent the Japanese pirates from landing at night and were suddenly attacked by Japanese pirates, Li Qing did not order to attack the island. It was said that Li Qing originally just wanted to test the Japanese pirates' combat power, but Li Qing became addicted to it while fighting, and changed from the initial temptation to a severe injury. However, when he saw that the Japanese pirates did not cause much casualties to him, Li Qing's ambitions once again expanded to annihilate the entire group of Japanese pirates.

He then led his army to attack Zhudao. There were only six Japanese pirates who fled from the sea to the island, and the number of them was only two or three hundred. With the remaining personnel, Li Qing estimated that the remaining Japanese pirates should not exceed four hundred, and Li Qing now has 600 elite soldiers. In Li Qing's opinion, it was easy to capture Zhudao.

Li Qing was waiting, waiting for dawn to arrive. This naval battle was of great significance to Li Qing and the Kingdom of Daxia, which marked that the influence of the Daxia Navy had reached the Japanese archipelago.
