The Japanese navy's vanguard had a total of 100 warships of various colors, and the commander was Shimazu Kokusa, the second-generation vassal lord of the Satsuma clan.

This Shimazu Kokusa had participated in the suppression of the Shimahara Rebellion and had certain battlefield experience. In addition, as the lord of the Satsuma vassal state, he was also very fierce in oppressing the Ryukyu Kingdom. In order to consolidate his rule, he even killed his brother-in-law Shimazu Kuahara and his old Shimazu Kuaki.

According to the custom of the Tokugawa shogunate, the closer the relationship with the shogun is, the closer the relationship is to Edo. The Satsuma clan is located at the southwestern end of Kyushu Island and is far away from Edo. This shows how far the relationship between the Satsuma clan and the Tokugawa shogunate is.

In the original history, this is also the reason. At the end of the shogunate, the samurai of the Satsuma clan became the main force and pioneer of the fall of the shogunate. They advocated the abolition of the shogunate and the return of the emperor. After Emperor Meiji took power, many of the most members of the Japanese cabinet were from the Satsuma clan.

Now, it is precisely because of the bad relationship between the Satsuma clan and the Tokugawa shogunate that the pioneer's task of tackling tough problems has been handed over to the Satsuma clan.

At this time, Shimazu Kokuha saw that the Akira Navy seemed to have no reaction, and he felt relieved and was overjoyed.

If the enemy is prepared for this pioneer mission, it is a bad job, and there may be heavy casualties. However, if the enemy is not prepared, it means that he can get the first merit. No matter how dissatisfied with the Satsuma family, he will eventually have to reward merits. Otherwise, other daimyos will be seen, who will contribute to the Tokugawa Shogunate?

Looking up at the sky, it probably won’t take long to get brighter. At this time, it’s time for a high tide, and it’s suitable for attack, whether it’s time or place. Shimazu Kokusa estimated in his heart, his face became fierce again.

The war under the night cannot be specifically commanded. Therefore, before departure, there was an agreement to take advantage of the Japanese army's strength, which is much greater than that of the Ming army. If the flagship does not fire the artillery, it will be a battle to mount the boarding.

Near, closer!

When Shimazu Kokuha saw that the Ming Dynasty navy was still not moving, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately issued a military order. All the Japanese soldiers went to the deck, holding various weapons in their hands, and prepared to wait for the warships to rush into the port of Busan and then engage in a platoon battle.

Under the moonlight, I vaguely saw a large group of black shadows moving on the sea. Needless to say, these black shadows were all warships of the Japanese navy.

Almost every ship was like Shimazu Kokusa's troops. All the Japanese soldiers were waiting on the deck, waiting to get close to the Ming warships to start a battle.

The night is quiet, only the sound of the waves swaying against the shore.

But in this tranquility, suddenly, a flash of fire flashed, followed by a loud "boom".

A Japanese warship rushing in the front burst into dazzling flames, which soon started to burn. Most of the Japanese soldiers on the deck were overturned. With the help of the flames, they could be seen staggering up.

Shimazu Kokusa was a little stupid when he saw it. The warship in front of him suddenly exploded. The other Japanese soldiers were also stunned because the explosion came too unexpectedly!

Before this was close to the Ming Dynasty warship, why did that ship explode on its own? Could it be that the soldier accidentally detonated the gunpowder on the ship?

Before I could figure it out, I saw a flash of fire again, and then a loud "boom".

Shimazu Kokuha was shocked directly, and he was confused. While he hurriedly got up, he didn't care about silence and immediately shouted: "Who has detonated the gunpowder? Put out the fire, hurry up..."

Just as he shouted, there were continuous explosions. The group of Japanese naval warships rushing in the front all encountered sudden explosions, fire and people shouting, mixed together, opening the prelude to the Second Battle of Busan.

Until this time, when I saw so many warship explosions, it was obvious that it was impossible that someone accidentally ignited gunpowder. Shimazu Kokusa finally remembered that there was something that could explode in the sea in the Ming Dynasty, which seemed to be called a mine. It must have been this thing that detonated the Japanese warships. Otherwise, if the Ming army fired the artillery, they would always see the flames at the gun muzzles!

He was right. In order to prevent the Japanese army's sneak attack, Zheng Zhilong laid a mine outside the port.

The thing about water mine was first invented by the Chinese.

According to historical records, in the 28th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty invented the world's first mine, which was made of wooden boxes as thunder shells, putty sticking to the joints, and the ropes below connected the iron anchors, controlled the depth, and manually operated and fired, which was more than two hundred years earlier than the West's manufacturing and use of mines.

In the 18th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty invented the "Dragon King Cannon Underwater", which was the earliest thunder floated, using incense as a regular fuse to float on the sea or river surface to ignite and explode.

In the 27th year of Wanli, the Ming general Wang Minghe invented the "underwater thunder" with ropes as the touching line, and two years later it was improved to touch the line and drifting the lightning, which was the earliest trigger drifting in the world.

The Ming Dynasty had these mines, including Zheng Zhilong's Denglai Navy. He had been preparing for fighting with the Japanese Navy. He had been carrying weapons that would inevitably be used in this naval battle. In the previous Busan naval battle, it was too easy to destroy the Japanese Navy, and these mines were useless at all. However, this time, when he learned that the Japanese Navy was coming to attack, Zheng Zhilong placed all these mines outside the Port of Busan, and indeed made a wonderful contribution under the darkness.

As the mines detonated one by one, the Japanese naval warships rushing in the front were basically hit by several mines, which seriously damaged the Japanese naval warships and could no longer move forward.

These Japanese soldiers on the Japanese navy warships were either in a hurry to put out the fire, or saw that they could not put out the fire, so they shouted to ask friendly warships to rescue them, or simply jumped into the sea to escape. Anyway, no one cared about sneaking in this time.

Under the illumination of these explosive warships, the outside of Busan Port was like daylight. With the help of this light, you can see the sea outside, and the black surface was full of Japanese naval warships.

In this case, if the sneak attack fails, it will be a force attack.

However, before the Japanese navy warship was adjusted, they saw a beautiful fire flashing almost in a line on the coast of Busan Port. Immediately afterwards, a rumbling thunder sounded, no, it was the sound of cannons.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the cannon sounded, I saw the Japanese naval warships illuminated by the fire, which were like paper, and the warships were either smashed by iron bullets or penetrated. The unlucky Japanese soldiers were accidentally hit, and basically had their hands and feet broken and blood sprinkled with sea water.

Just the first round of artillery bombardment, you can see more than a dozen Japanese naval warships that have been broken and have begun to slowly sink.

Seeing this situation, all the Japanese reacted. The Ming army was prepared for it!

Sure enough, after the first round of artillery, the coastal spies were lit one by one. The Ming army soldiers were busy loading the second round of artillery.

The Japanese navy panicked and retreated one after another. However, the Japanese navy had too many warships and could not immediately adjust and make way. So they all panicked to fire and fight back. The Japanese soldiers on the deck, regardless of whether the range was enough, fired with their bird guns in their hands.

For a moment, Busan Port was still really lively. With the bonfire, the "boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom" kept ringing, just like the New Year. However, the atmosphere was still different.

At this moment, the Ming navy warships hiding in the black suddenly roared.

"Boom boom boom..."

A line of fire flashed, and iron bullets roared out, joining the excitement.

Shimazu Kokusa finally escaped to a warship behind. Before he could even care about his flagship, he saw the fierce artillery fire from the Ming army on both sides of the water and land. He was so scared that he immediately shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly, retreat quickly..."

However, in such a chaos, his military orders could not be conveyed at all. Besides, who doesn’t know how to run, but if the traffic is congested, how can he run?

With a "boom", the flagpole was hit by an iron bullet and fell down immediately. Shimazu Kokusa was so scared that he quickly shut up and avoided the ship. He didn't dare to stay again and immediately began to move. As for the command, he had already left behind.

So Yoshiseki, who was far away from Tsushima Island, couldn't sleep no matter what, had been watching, finally saw the war breaking out. He watched from a distance as the firelight grew bigger and bigger in Busan. He could not help but think that it was the Great Japanese Navy who rushed into Busan and repeated the previous Ming Navy. He was fighting without any defense. He thought that the Great Japanese Navy was still ambushing the Ming Navy on Tsushima Island!

At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. That Naota Ii was really cunning and attacked the Ming Navy by surprise. He had such an advantageous force. It is estimated that by dawn, Busan would have been occupied by the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, Sun Yicheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at where I Naotashi Shimoi was sleeping, thinking in his heart that this big boss is already confident in planning, so he fell asleep so calmly, right?

In fact, Naota Ii, who was already fifty-five, didn't fall asleep at all. Or he wanted to sleep, but he just couldn't sleep. At this time, when he heard the rumbling sound of cannons, he couldn't sleep.

However, in his heart, he absolutely did not admit that he was worried about the situation of the war, but was thinking that Zheng Zhilong suffered a great loss by his own move. He didn't know what his expression was at this time, and was furious?

Let them make the general so popular that it almost caused civil strife. This time, it was too tit for a tooth. Zheng Zhilong dared to be an enemy of the Great Japan, and this was the end.

After thinking for a long time, he didn't hear the sound of cannons falling. Instead, he saw a faint light from the window, and he knew that it was dawn.
