Seeing that the Bungo naval forces were retreating, the Ming Dynasty fleet sent them off with a dense rain of bullets. As a result, more than a dozen Kansai ships were sunk, two large Anzhai ships were set on fire, and countless enemies were killed.
??The Bungo navy finally returned to Usuki Port and hid in the mouth of the Oita River. Only less than half of the Kansai ships and two Anzha ships were left
And Zong Lin¡¯s little wish to sink an enemy ship or capture an enemy ship never came true. After paying such heavy sacrifices, his navy did not even touch the edge of the Ming Dynasty fleet.
Zong Lin stood blankly on the castle tower, looking at Oita Bay dyed red, the ships riddled with holes on the pier, and the defeated soldiers carrying dead people to the shore. It felt like he was having a nightmare.
"How could this happen? How can I transport Ouchi Teruhiro across the Kanmon Strait?" He sat like a duck and fell to the floor.
Zong Huan¡¯s lips twitched at the side, thinking that you finally remembered your business.
But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in complaining about Zong Lin, so he said solemnly: "My lord, you'd better go down and express your condolences to the sailors in person, otherwise you will definitely incur resentment."
"In addition, my lord, please appoint me as the labor envoy and accept a series of conditions from the Ming Dynasty people, otherwise Usuki City will not be able to be saved." He repeated the old tune and sighed again: "It's just that this time the Ming Dynasty people The conditions must be more stringent than before."
"Hey, go quickly." Zong Lin calmed down and put his mind in order. It's not that he is boasting. When it comes to his ability to withstand failure, Otomo Zonglin, who has been ravaged by the Maori in recent years, is the strongest.

Not to mention how Ru Zonglin faced the seriously injured naval commander.
Shan Shuo Zonghuan got on Omura Juntada's ship, left the dock with a white flag, and sailed towards the Ming Dynasty fleet.
What gave him some comfort was that the Ming fleet did not pursue the victory. After the remnants of the Bungo navy were out of range, they simply reorganized into two lines and anchored at the mouth of the bay.
This shows that the other party does not intend to kill them all, and they can still talk. Zong Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head to Chun Zhong and said, "Please, Lord Chun Zhong."
"Alas, Master Zonglin is reallyunwise!" Omura Junchu walked away from the gate of hell, so he naturally had no good impression of Otomo Zonglin who had humiliated himself. This time he also completely saw clearly the overwhelming advantage the Ming Dynasty fleet had in Japanese waters, and his thoughts naturally changed.
In the past, he was divided into the Ming Dynasty and thought that he was a Japanese and should work with the Japanese to deal with the Ming Dynasty people. But as long as the Ming Dynasty fleet does not land, the only way to deal with them is to hope that the divine wind will come again. The possibility of a typhoon in Japan in winter is really slim
"And the Ming Dynasty people are too close and the Portuguese are too far away. Obviously the former is more suitable as a backer.
Being a dog of Ming Dynasty is the greatest happiness!
Unknowingly, Omura Junchu has completed his self-positioning as a lackey of the Ming Dynasty, and of course he is not willing to help outsiders deal with his master.
"Mr. Zong Huan, it's hard for me to handle this too." He spread his hands to Yoshioka Zonghuan and said, "You have no sincerity at all. How can I help you speak for you?"
"On behalf of my lord, I can promise to give actual protection to the Omura family and inform all Kyushu that any armed force that invades the Omura family will be dealt a heavy blow by the Otomo family!" Zong Huan simply expressed his position.
"Thank you so much, Duke Zong Huan." Omura Juntada thanked him. If it had been before the Battle of Oita Bay, he might have knelt down and kowtow happily. But now, I feel that this promise from the Ouchi family is like clear soup, very nutritious.
With the master¡¯s protection, why would the Dayou family do anything unnecessary?
Of course, Omura is a mature lord and will not be dissatisfied with having too many friends. Then he said frankly: "But what I'm talking about is for the people of the Ming Dynasty. You'd better be more proactive, otherwise you will be very passive when the time comes Do you know? Because I didn't bring back a satisfactory answer last time, I had to give more Dedicated to the masteroh no, one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty."
"Huh?" Zong Huan's jaw almost dropped in shock. "Ten, one hundred thousand taels, so much?"
?? The Dayou family naturally has a bigger business than the Omura family, but the big business also means a lot of expenses. This year's heart-war with the Maori family has depleted their savings. They are really not as wealthy as the Omura family.
"Does Duke Zong Huan still want to bargain?" Chunzhong glanced at the sea full of broken oars and broken limbs, and said quietly: "In addition, I paid a tribute of 300,000 taels of silver, not 100,000 taels already The family has become homeless." Although there is nothing to be proud of, his tone is clearly full of pride, which is really puzzling.
"Ming, I understand" Zong Huan took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, his mouth was very bitter.

101 Ship's stern building, one room is used as house arrest?Go for it? I finally got rid of the 'Jinghai King Contract', and I really don't want to be bound by a new contract anymore. "
"Yes, we have never been so weak in our journey to conquer the world." Father Louis also said.
"Otomo Zonglin thought so too, and you have seen his fate." Colonel Pinto pointed out the window and said: "Wake up, priests. This is the gateway to the Ming Dynasty, but it is 10,000 leagues away from Europe. We We cannot compete here with an empire that has a population of two to three billion and has ruled East Asia for two thousand years. Although its military level is slightly behind ours, it is extremely capable of learning! Especially after they have shown that they are strong enough to compete with us."
"If we want to keep our achievements - Macau and Japan!" He said with emphasis: "We should learn to be humble and change our attitude when dealing with this empire!"
At the end, he poured wine for the two of them again and added: "I know that the two priests can't turn around for a while. We might as well see how much more the Japanese have to pay than before, and maybe they will wake up."
