The fleet cut through the waves and sailed towards Japan. In the flagship conference room, the police officers listened intently. While taking notes, someone asked:
¡°The emperor doesn¡¯t have the final say, so who has the final say?¡±
"Originally it belonged to the general, but now the general has no control over it." Ma Yinglong replied.
The police officers were confused for a while. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, which had valued civility over martial arts for a hundred years, it was difficult for people to understand how a military general could be so awesome.
Ma Yinglong then said in a persuasive manner: "It's enough for you to understand the general as Dong Zhuo. But now that he has no strength, how can military leaders like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still listen to him? So the whole of Japan is in chaos, and no one can say anything. never mind."
"That's it" As soon as we compared it to the Three Kingdoms, everyone understood.
"The military leader of Japan is called a daimyo. The most powerful daimyo at present is Oda Nobunaga, who is known as 'Japanese Cao Cao'. There are also 'Tiger of Kai', 'Dragon of Echigo' and the like, but they They are all far away from the Kyushu Island activities where we are fighting this time, so we will not start it this time. We will send you complete information later."
After Ma Yinglong finished speaking, he and Wang Rulong hung up a power map of Kyushu Island on the wall, and then continued: "The three islands of Japan are Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Kyushu Island, to be precise, Kitakyushu, is our crusade this time. The goal."
"The bad news is that Kyushu's folk customs are fierce and powerful. The Matsuura clan that attacked us last time is not even counted in Kyushu. The three strongest families in Kyushu are currently the strongest Otomo family in Kyushu. They have already stood in West Kyushu. The Ryuzoji family is firmly established, and the Shimazu family is entrenched in Southern Kyushu. In addition, there is the Mori family, which is based in western Honshu, but has already inserted its hands into Kitakyushu. These four families are very powerful, and the heads of the families are also very scheming. , these powerful and powerful people are definitely not comparable to those water thieves and Japanese pirates."
"The good news is that Kyushu is also in a mess. In April this year, the Otomo family and the Ryuzoji family fought fiercely. Seeing that the Ryuzoji family was about to be destroyed, the Mori family mobilized 40,000 troops and crossed the Kanmon Strait to land in Kyushu. The Otomo family had no choice but to Hurry up and negotiate peace with the Ryuzoji family and fight against the Mori family with all your strength."
Ma Yinglong said with a smile: "Moori Motonari, the governor of the Maori family, and Otomo Yizhen, the governor of the Otomo family, are old enemies. Both of them are known for their resourcefulness. However, Motonari Maori is still better in every aspect. Over the past few years, In the past, Otomo Yizhen was defeated miserably, and he could only escape into Buddhism, with the Buddhist name 'Zonglin'. However, the Japanese monks are just that, the Otomo family still has the final say the Matsuura family is the same."
"In short, the biggest thing in Kyushu Island right now is the duel between Moton Mouri and Sorin Otomo. As for Ryuzoji and the Shimazu family, due to their own considerations, they will not make a rash bet at this time. There is a high probability that they will not Will take action." After Ma Yinglong finished speaking, he added: "Of course, in the end this is my personal judgment. The situation is changing rapidly and no one can say how the situation will develop."
Mr. Zhao on the side said in his heart, I can, I can. As a player of the Japanese Sengoku game, I know the fate of everyone. Of course, it¡¯s hard to say what changes will happen if you get involved.
"Finally, let's talk about Hizen Kingdom." Ma Yinglong put on a map of Hizen Kingdom and said: "Corresponding to the Ming Dynasty, Kyushu Island is about the same size as our Qiongzhou Prefecture. Therefore, Kyushu Quest Otomo Zonglin is the prefect."
"Our Qiongzhou Prefecture has 10 counties, and Kyushu Island has nine countries, so Matsuura Takanobu, the Hizen guardian he appointed, is the Hizen County Magistrate. Unfortunately, just like Otomo Sorin, the prefect, is not worthy of his name, he, the county magistrate, can only manage It is located in a place in Nishi Hizen. It has long been secretly surrendered by Ryuzoji Takanobu, the 'Bear of Hizen' who is entrenched in Hizen."
Zhao Hao nodded secretly when he heard this. Everyone brought by Marshal Qi was indeed a talented person. This Ma Yinglong had never been seen to have any abilities. He just saw that he was steady and got along well with Wang Rulong, so he let the two of them work together. And because of Jin Ke's recommendation, he was made the military intelligence chief of the garrison area.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that his ability to collect intelligence would be so strong. There is basically no fallacy This is very difficult in overseas intelligence collection.
And he is also very capable of explaining things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, using analogies and analogies. In this regard, he is much better than Wang Rulong who only knows how to blow his beard and stare. Of course, Lao Wang's ability to lead troops into battle is something that even Jin Ke cannot match
The two of them are truly a match made in heaven.
"But this year, Sorin Otomo attacked Ryuzoji Takanobu, and he couldn't wait to join the Otomo family camp. Unfortunately, the Mori family interfered, and the Otomo family had to negotiate a peace with the Ryuzoji family. Now the Otomo family and the Mori family are fighting hard, and they have no time at all. Xigu, it would be strange if Longzao Temple didn't take the opportunity to deal with these bunch of wallflowers."
"So the latest information obtained is that the Matsuura family has completely withdrawn from the main island of Kyushu and returned to Hirado Island." Ma Yinglong pointed.?On the map, the narrow strait between Hirado Island and Kyushu Island: "But Matsuura Takanobu was not very panicked at first, because the Matsuura family had the Mishima Navy, and the Shiga Navy also took orders from them."
As he spoke, Ma Yinglong pointed to a string of large and small islands in the southwest of Hirado Island and said: "There are five peaks here. Wang Zhi's self-titled 'Five Peaks Shipowner' comes from here. After he established the puppet Song Dynasty regime, he will name the island It was changed to Five Islands. Later, the pseudo-Song Dynasty disappeared, but the Japanese were used to it and did not change it back, so the congratulatory navy was also called the Five Islands Navy."
He was as careful as his hair and knew that Mr. Zhao was a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. He was bound to be very sensitive to the name of the country "Song", so he called him "Pseudo Song".
"But the Matsuura family suffered heavy losses after abandoning Nishihizen and were in urgent need of recovery. That's why Matsuura Jinshin attacked us recklessly." Ma Yinglong continued: "In order to monopolize the spoils, he dispatched all the Matsuura family's own troops. The result was all The army was wiped out, the family governor dumped them, and later our fleet frequently raided their territory. Matsuura Takanobu united with various families to encircle and suppress them, but they were unable to do anything. We are already demoralized."
"Just last month, the Zong family of Tsushima Island invited a businessman to come to Tamluo as a lobbyist and sent him 10,000 taels of silver and several horses of Japanese satin. The purpose was to draw a clear line with the Matsuura family so as not to harm Chiyu." Ma Yinglong said with a smile. : "But the young master said that there is no such thing as cheap, so he took the money and things and drove the person away."
The police officers chuckled, the young master is really a wonderful person. In fact, the young master has no choice but to extort more. How can he afford to support people and boats like them?
"In addition, there are small daimyo in the Hizen Province such as the Omura clan, the Arima clan, and the Got¨ clan, who are at the level of township chiefs, or 'township heads'. Among them, the Omura clan is more special. Their head, Omura Juntada, is a kiroshidan daimyo. That is to say, the name changed He believed in the name of the Catholic Church. Therefore, he received the protection of the Folangji people. Now the three Folanji ships are entrusted by him to stay in Futianpu to prevent disaster from Chiyu."
Then, he explained the navy and army strengths of the above-mentioned companies one by one. Basically in line with their respective statuses, the prefect can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the county magistrate can mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses, and the township chief can only support thousands of people, which is usually a few hundred people.

After Ma Yinglong finished his military intelligence report, it was Wang Rulong's turn to announce the combat mission.
"According to the instructions of the young master, this 'punishment operation' has three major goals. First, to eliminate the Matsuura family and establish their prestige. Second, to capture the Galen ship of the Folangji people and learn from the barbarians to learn their skills to control the barbarians. Third, to help the Tamna Chamber of Commerce Monopolize trade with Japan!" He said concisely and solemnly:
"The most urgent thing at the moment is two, because the Fo Langji troops in Macau are very limited. At present, the Fujian, Guangdong and Zhenghai pirates cannot stay in Japan for a long time. They will go back to protect their home base at any time. And once we lose this opportunity, we I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have no chance to block them in the harbor ¨C with our current strength, it¡¯s almost impossible to capture a Galen ship at sea.¡±
Although the police officers were a little dissatisfied after hearing this, who dared to talk nonsense to Wang Rulong? I can only listen obediently.
"So One and Three can go to the back first. The overriding task right now is to concentrate our forces and capture this Galen ship named 'Oriental Beauty'." As he spoke, he opened the folder in his hand and read out in a deep voice. :
"This operation is named 'Operation Hunting' and is divided into three steps. First, to quickly attack the power of the Matsuura family and show our strength. The purpose is to scare the monkeys and make the Franji people fear us. Second, in their hearts Before you decide to retreat, quickly block them in Futian Bay, so as to catch turtles in a jar."
After a pause, he added: "As for the third one, it depends on how the old turtles in the urn will react. Although we try to catch them alive, if they dare to bite us, we will beat them hard* *!"
To put it bluntly, if they dare to break through, they will fire cannons, ram boats, or engage in hand-to-hand combat. In short, they cannot let that Galen ship escape!
"Yes!" All the police officers knew that the young master admired the Galen ship of the Francois very much, although they did not think that the difference between the ships of the two sides was that big. But since the young master likes it, then capture it and offer it to the young master!
"As for that chicken." The wooden stick in Wang Rulong's hand pointed accurately at Jiangchuan City Road on the Wudao Islands: "That's it!"

At dawn on September 15th, the rumbling sound of cannons awakened the lord of Jiangchuan City, Ujiuchun Yao, from his dream.
"Oh, I thought the Ming Dynasty's fleet was coming" In a daze, he thought he was having another nightmare.
The wife of the city lord on the side heard this and said hesitantly: "It seems that there is really a rumbling sound?"
"Nani?!" Yujiuchunyao listened carefully, but no, there was indeed a clear roar and a chaotic shouting. He suddenly lost all sleep, sat up and opened the door with bare legs. , looked outside and saw thick smoke billowing from the pier and flames shooting into the sky!
At this time, his third brother, Uku Xuanya, who was also the leader of the Five Island Navy, stumbled in. His face was covered with soot in a panic and he said: "Onii-chan, people from the Ming Dynasty came here and destroyed our ship. , all destroyed!"
"It turns out I'm not dreaming" Yujiuchunyao sat down on the ground, murmured and closed his eyes: "No, no, this is just a dream, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com)Thick smoke billowed from his head, and flames shot into the sky!
