The Rise of the European Emperor

The training of water ghosts also takes time. Good water quality does not mean knowing how to use an ax to destroy enemy ships while diving. So, it takes time to train and adapt. However, Wang Hung has already reported the water ghost plan to Chen Jin, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, showing that he is not waiting, but has made full preparations.

At the same time, Wang Hung's request was sent to the capital at an expedited speed of six hundred miles through the post station system. Then, his request was also approved by the cabinet. The cabinet agreed to provide Wang Hung's army with 50 "Pinglu Cannons" three months later. After all, it does take a long time to transport the artillery from the capital to Guangdong. This is because the Bingzhan Bureau happened to cast dozens of "Pinglu Cannons" and they were in stock. If it is not in stock, it is estimated that Wang Hong will not be able to get this batch of cannons in half a year.

But Wang Hung was not in a hurry, because it would have taken a month or two to gather tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of warships. In addition, it will take time to train the water ghosts. When the "Pinglu Cannon" arrives, it is estimated that the time will be just right.

While Da Gama plundered the coast of Daming, Japan, which was "next door" to Ming, was also being attacked by pirates at this time. Moreover, it was also attacked by Western-style pirates...

The one who attacked the coast of Japan was none other than Ganfu Mizuko's maid chess piece who led ten 500-ton warships. After Qizi led the fleet to the Far East, he first rented Amami Oshima, the northernmost big island of the Ryukyu Kingdom, from the Ryukyu Kingdom, and built a military city on it.

This military city can accommodate five or six thousand people. It is located on the shore of Nase Port in Amami City in the northern part of Amami Oshima Island in later generations. It is a natural good port. This place is located in the northern part of Amami Oshima, avoiding the strong wind from the south, it is a safe haven, and it is a good place to build a port.

However, due to the harassment of Japanese pirates before, Naze Bay faced the geographical characteristics of Kagoshima, Japan, and it became a disadvantage. After all, the weak Ryukyu people cannot stop the Japanese pirates' attack.

Don't be afraid to be a pawn, he has brought 3500 men, and that doesn't include the 1800 sailors on the 10 battleships.

In order to ensure the safety of the chess pieces and this base, these 10 warships and 1800 sailors will not leave for a few years until the chess pieces have their own powerful naval forces.

After Qizi rented Amami Oshima, he built a fortress-style military castle in the later Naze Bay. Of course, the place is not called Naze Amami or anything like that now, and Chess simply named this new city Nobunaga Wall to celebrate the existence of his young master Fu Nobunaga. And Nase Bay was also named Xinchang Bay by the chess pieces.

After the establishment of the Great Wall of Letters and the construction of the port, the chess pieces were a little frightened at the beginning, for fear that the Great Wall of Letters would be attacked. Then, several waves of Japanese pirates really came and attacked the Great Wall of Letters.

After all, Xinchang Wall is only about 383 kilometers away from Kagoshima, and it is less than 400 kilometers away. With such a distance, the Japanese pirates' wrecked ship could arrive within a few days.

However, after the fight, the chess pieces were surprised to find that the 100 North Sea musketeers seemed to restrain the Japanese samurai holding samurai swords very much.

Don't look at those Japanese pirate warriors baring their teeth and claws, rushing over with fierce faces and raising knives with both hands, as if they want to hack you to death. But in the face of muskets, these warriors are also confused and collapsed...

The samurai had never seen muskets, and when 100 North Sea musketeers pointed their clockwork muskets at them, they continued to charge without knowing why. Then, when he rushed to the front and back, he was hit by a musket all over his face...

The warriors are skilled in martial arts,

They wanted to dodge, but they weren't as fast as bullets. Therefore, many people were beaten into a sieve...

The real Japanese pirates are very small, usually only one or two ships, and dozens of samurai are amazing. Only the pirates of the Ming Dynasty could pull up a team of tens of thousands at every turn.

In the several attacks that Xinchangcheng encountered, the size of the attackers was only a few dozen people. However, these diminutive samurai are very confident. Facing the defenders who were dozens of times larger than themselves, they still dared to continue to charge with fierce faces.

Because of their fierceness, the 3000 black uncles guarding the Great Wall of Xin were a little frightened and almost collapsed. In addition, the 400 Han people and aborigines recruited by Ming Kongtai to help chess pieces in Taiwan Island were also scared and wanted to run away. There are only 100 musketeers from the North Sea country...

These 100 musketeers are all master musketeers with war experience selected by Marin. Haven't they seen any battles?

Therefore, when the Japanese pirate warriors rushed up with fierce faces, a series of gunshots immediately stunned those Japanese pirates who were still full of fierce faces just now...

Seeing that his comrades around him were beaten to death by the enemy's loud and flame-breathing weapons before they rushed in front of the enemy, those ferocious warriors were also stunned...

Although the samurai are very bold, even crazy. However, when faced with an incomprehensible existence, they panicked...

Several times in a row, the fierce Japanese pirates were beaten up by the musketeers. It wasn't until the time when they began to repair the enemy's corpses that those cowardly black uncles dared to wear chain mail, hold shields and wooden sticks, and came forward in fear...

But after a few battles, the chess piece found that those black people were also braver, and they no longer instinctively feared when they met a samurai.

Then, one year after the construction of the Great Wall of Letters, Qizi finally couldn't hold back and began to attack Japan with the fleet...

The chess pieces were very cautious, and did not dare to attack Hirado and other large ports, mainly because they were afraid of attracting a crazy counterattack from the enemy.

Therefore, the targets of the chess pieces, like Da Gama, were also placed on those ordinary coastal villages and towns...

However, compared with the coastal towns of Daming, Japan's coastal towns are far worse, and they are not at the same level economically.

However, Qizi never thought of making a fortune by looting small towns along the coast of Japan. In addition to leading people to loot wealth, she also looted people...

Ganfu Nobunaga will eventually return to Japan to become a daimyo, so the chess piece is eager to build a reliable team for the young master Nobunaga. And as the young master's most trusted person, naturally he can't be Lao Hei, nor can he be a native of Beihai.

After thinking about it, I still think it is better to use Japanese people for the chess pieces. Therefore, when she led a team to loot the coastal towns of Japan, she did not forget to plunder the population and bring them back to Amami Oshima.

Naturally, the people the chess pieces plundered in the coastal towns could not be samurai, but ordinary Japanese farmers or fishermen.

However, these ordinary Japanese farmers or fishermen, because of the emperor's meat ban, suffered from insufficient nutrition and were very short in height, generally around 1.5 meters, which was similar to that of elementary school students in later generations.

The chess piece is a person who has stayed in Europe for a long time, but he has seen with his own eyes how tall the people in the North Sea country are. In any case, adults in Beihai are about 1.7 meters tall. At the same time, the Japanese were only about 1.5 meters tall, which was still the height of a man...

If you let the young master Nobunaga go out with a group of small men with a height of 1.5 meters, it doesn't feel majestic enough...

Then, the chess piece remembered what Marin said at the beginning - children can grow much taller by drinking more milk and eating more meat before and during development...

Therefore, while robbing the population, the chess pieces began to pay attention to robbing those youngsters who have not yet developed or just started to develop...

Although the peasant boys are not tall, they still have potential. When he was in Beihai, Marin suggested that the youngsters in Japan who hadn’t started or just started to develop should drink milk and eat meat. Moreover, Marin asserted that as long as enough calcium is supplemented during the development period, ordinary Japanese teenagers can also grow taller. At least, it must be more than 1.7 meters, no matter how bad it is, it is more than 1.6 meters...

Therefore, when Chessmen robbed people along the coast of Japan, they paid special attention to robbing those underage children who were about to start developing.

After being captured, Qizi also captured a batch of cows to provide milk for these teenagers who had started or were about to develop. They also introduced a batch of Taihu pigs from Tai Island and began to feed them on Amami Island, thinking that these teenagers would supply enough meat. . Then, I just hope that these teenagers will grow into youths of sufficient height, and become the loyal guards of the young master Fu Nobunaga...
