Chapter 196: Coastal People Kneel to Welcome King Jin

Explosions, continuous explosions.

Fires, continuous fires.

Standing on the deck of the first ship of the pirate fleet, the Japanese pirate leader Sakai Takaaki witnessed the warships of the Longcheng Navy Fleet carrying out a dimensionality reduction attack on his own pirate fleet;

The whole person seemed to be frozen by the magic of an immortal, standing on the deck motionless.

The Japanese pirates around him seemed to be frightened, holding their Japanese swords in their hands and standing there at a loss.

Today, the Longcheng Navy Fleet fought a small battle with the Japanese pirates in the Yellow Sea, which was a battle of epoch-making significance;

It was also the first time that hot weapons appeared on the battlefield in the cold weapon era that lasted for a thousand years.

For the Japanese pirates who imitated China everywhere and were still in the "Southern and Northern Dynasties" period, the first introduction of fireworks and firecrackers from China was enough to surprise the wild Japanese pirates on the Japanese islands who had not yet been civilized;

Now, when a group of Japanese pirates witnessed with their own eyes that the huge cannons equipped by the Longcheng Navy Fleet could carry out long-range and heavy-duty attacks on their own fleets from a long distance;

They even thought that the Longcheng Navy Fleet was a god in the sky, who could summon the Thunder God to strike them.

You know, even the powerful Daxin Dynasty Navy of the same period was only equipped with crossbows and bows and arrows on the warships. The so-called water battle was nothing more than shooting arrows at each other on the water and sending jumping teams to board the opponent's warships for close combat.

The way the Longcheng Navy Fleet used the power of artillery to blow up the enemy warships on the sea surface was unheard of and unseen.

The final result was that under the bombardment of the Longcheng Navy warships, a group of Japanese pirates, who were originally a mob, were immediately defeated and disfigured.

The encounter between the two sides in the waters near the Yellow Sea lasted only a stick of incense from start to finish.

The Japanese pirates, who were riding more than 30 ships and totaling more than 5,000 people, were all wiped out in the Yellow Sea by the Longcheng Navy officers and soldiers who went south to fight.

In addition to those who were killed by cannons in the battle, there were also those who fell into the sea and disappeared. In the end, more than 1,000 Japanese pirates were captured alive by the Longcheng Navy officers and soldiers.

Among them, of course, the leader of this group of pirates, Sakai Takaaki.

Speaking of which, this guy is also very lucky. Under the bombardment of the Longcheng Navy warships, not a single shot hit the ship where Sakai Takaaki was.

It is worth mentioning that when the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy boarded the ship to capture the Japanese pirates, the captain who boarded the first ship of the pirate fleet where Sakai Takaaki was located was the captain of the navy who had just driven a small boat to board the ship for inspection and was then ordered to be shot to death by Sakai Takaaki.

The captain boarded the ship and recognized Sakai Takaaki at a glance, and raised his hand to reward him with a few big slaps.

While beating Sakai Takaaki, he also asked him: "Little thief, now you know how powerful the Longcheng Navy fleet is? Will you order me to shoot arrows?"

"If it weren't for the order from His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, I would have shot you into a hedgehog and thrown you into the sea to feed the fish!"

Pah!

In this way, Sakai Takaaki, the leader of the Japanese pirates, who seemed to have lost his soul, was tied up and escorted to the treasure ship "Miewohao" that he had been thinking about as a prisoner.

Being personally interrogated by Jin Wang Chen Huaian was an honor for Sakai Takamiya as a low-ranking Japanese pirate leader.

Chen Huaian had no interest in Sakai Takamiya's name, where he lived, and why he became a bandit.

He only cared about one thing, what was Sakai Takamiya's purpose in appearing in the Yellow Sea near the coast with thousands of Japanese pirates.

Facing the questions of His Royal Highness Jin Wang, Sakai Takamiya, who was first frightened by the artillery of the Longcheng Navy Fleet and then served by the navy officers and soldiers who boarded the ship and captured him, dared not hide anything?

He immediately spilled everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

It turned out that the purpose of their trip was to take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Xin Dynasty and the conquest of Jinan Prefecture by the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army to land in Jiaozhou City to burn, kill and loot.

In addition, Sakai Takaaki also explained that there were seven large-scale Japanese pirate forces active near the waters of the Goguryeo Peninsula, with a large number of pirates, as many as 50,000.

In addition, the Japanese pirates under Sakai Takaaki called themselves the Eight Great Camps of the Japanese Island Navy, and their purpose was to rob and plunder the coastal people of the Great Xin Dynasty.

Hum!

Upon hearing this news, Qi Jiguang, the admiral of Longcheng Navy, exploded on the spot and said unhappily: "You are a bunch of rabble, and you dare to call yourself the Eight Camps of the Navy?"

"This Daxin Dynasty is really stupid. It actually allowed such scoundrels to slaughter coastal people at will. Such a dynasty should be overthrown and rebuilt!"

Speaking, Qi Jiguang took the initiative to ask for the order: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I request that after pacifying the Daxin Navy in Jiangyin, I will personally lead the Longcheng Navy fleet to wipe out the remaining Japanese pirates entrenched in the Goguryeo Peninsula and the Yellow Sea in one fell swoop;"

"Completely eliminate the harm of pirates and give the fishermen and people in coastal areas a bright and clear world!"

Hearing this, Chen Huaian immediately waved his hand and said: "General Qi, this matter is approved by the king!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Qi Jiguang immediately knelt down to thank him!

Then, Chen Huaian said: "However, before that, I decided that the Longcheng Navy Fleet would stay in Jiaozhou for one night and hand over these Japanese pirates who are causing trouble in the coastal areas to the people of Jiaozhou City who have suffered from their persecution!"

"Pass on my order, the Longcheng Navy Fleet will turn around and head to Jiaozhou, without any mistakes!"

"I have received your order!"

......

At the same time, in Jiaozhou City.

There were originally 8,000 Japanese soldiers stationed in Jiaozhou City, which were enough to resist the harassment and looting of the Japanese pirates on the people along the coast of Jiaozhou.

But with the ambitious Daxin Second Emperor Zhao Gan personally leading the expedition, 90% of the Japanese soldiers in Jiaozhou City were withdrawn.

In addition, the remaining Daxin Dynasty later transferred half of the remaining Japanese soldiers to Jinan Prefecture to resist the southward march of the Longcheng troops of Jin Wang Chen Huaian;

As a result, there were only 500 Japanese soldiers left in Jiaozhou, which controlled hundreds of miles of coastline. Facing the repeated harassment and slaughter of civilians by Japanese pirates, they seemed to be unable to do what they wanted.

Lin Fengxiang, the garrison commander of Jiaozhou, had to station all 500 Japanese soldiers in Jiaozhou City to prevent the Japanese pirates from attacking the city in the chaos.

"Report--"

"General, Qingang Emergency Flag, a large fleet is approaching Qingang!"

In the garrison, Lin Fengxiang was writing at his desk, and suddenly there was an urgent report from the messenger outside the house.

Teng!

Lin Fengxiang stood up suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat: It's bad, it must be the Japanese pirates who are attacking the city!
