The extent of the Japanese navy’s crotch stretching

Let’s talk about it.

However, since it is an island country and had the experience of being violently killed by Portuguese armed merchant ships before, when the Hizen clan's fleet saw the huge and dark hull of the black flag treasure ship on the sea, they could not help but be frightened.

It is said that there are more than two hundred warships, but in fact more than half of them are merchant ships and civilian ships temporarily recruited, and their firepower is worrying.

But there are many of us.

The man who commanded the Japanese warships and the Black Flag Navy in the confrontation off the coast of Tsushima was Nabeshima Mitsushige, the son of Nabeshima Katsushige, the chief of the Hizen Saka Domain.

When the Japanese fleet encountered the Black Flag Navy and lingered on the water for a confrontation, he sent an envoy to negotiate with the Black Flag Navy, demanding that the Black Flag Navy withdraw from Tsushima Island and release the Tsushima daimyo and his subordinate samurai.

The Black Flag Navy was not immediately asked to compensate the Iki Domain for what they had done to the Iki Domain and the current Taima Domain.

But Lin Wang sneered when he saw it.

Nowadays, he is proficient in maritime affairs and has a good understanding of the main warships of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and Japan. This also makes him find that his black flag treasure ship seems to be invincible.

At least the Japanese warships opposite are a bit unsightly.

None of them meet the standards of a battleship, and they are equipped with few heavy artillery pieces.

Maybe the Black Flag navy needs to be wary of jumping into a gang war. After all, there are many ships on the opposite side and many combatants on board.

"Most of the warships of the Hizen Domain were equipped with swivel cannons, flanges, and several deer guns. The largest warship had twenty swivel cannons, and many of the samurai on board were armed with muskets."

"No red barbarian cannon?"

After hearing the words of Zong Yicheng, the famous name of the Zong family, Lin Wang naturally felt disgusted on his face, but at least he had to pay attention to his opponent, so he asked.

"No."

Seeing Lin Wang's intention, Zong Yicheng couldn't help but smile with his old face.

This configuration is really hard to come by.

Not to mention comparing it with Ming Dynasty, even comparing it with North Korea is not enough.

The smaller caliber of the Red Coat Cannon was twelve pounders.

What is a swivel gun? It is a small front-loading gun, which is the smallest category of front-loading guns. The caliber generally does not exceed 3.5 cm.

0.75 lbs.

Less than a pound, mostly used for shooting shotgun.

Plus two or three small furlong machines.

And this is the main ship-borne artillery configuration of Japanese warships.

Of course, it is not that the Japanese did not have large-caliber artillery, but the problem was that their shipbuilding technology was really backward, and warships did not dare to carry red cannons. If they did not fire a few cannons, their own ships might dry up and sink first.

After all, even if Japan invaded Korea across the sea at this time, and kept sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, and there were many pirates crossing the border, but throughout the Edo period, Japan was just a

Stay on the island and pursue agrarianism as a mainland country.

The navy's foundation depends entirely on cooperating with domestic pirates or recruiting pirates.

Therefore, before the invasion of Korea, the main combat methods of the Japanese Navy were bows and arrows, arson, white blades, fire blunderbuss, and baked jade. Most of the heavy firearms carried on the ship were "Wankou blunderbuss" from the Hongwu period.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty had been in contact with North Korea and was able to produce Flange machines, and the size of the hull and the number of personnel and firearms carried by a single ship far exceeded that of Japan.

Coupled with the limited shipbuilding technology of the Japanese country and the poor quality of local hardwood used for shipbuilding, the hull structure level of the main warships was almost the same as that of the Tang and Song Dynasties in China.

This is why Yi Sun-shin was able to hoist 333 Japanese warships with 13 wooden house ships and improvised turtle ships. If it were not for the Gyeongsang Province Usui envoy of the Korean Navy at that time, he only wanted to run away when he saw the Japanese navy's massive invasion.

, a fire burned most of the Korean warships, otherwise it is hard to say whether the Japanese could land in Korea.

The reason why we can have a Franchise on board now is because we were bombed by artillery during the invasion of Korea.

Otherwise, if the war breaks out now, if the Japanese warships are lucky enough to get under the side of the black flag treasure ship, they will try to use rockets, shotguns and arson to try to shake the black flag treasure ship.

"Then they still dare to ask my Black Flag Navy to withdraw from Tsushima Island?"

Lin Wang was even more surprised when he heard this.

It's so weak that I can't even see it.

Worse than the pirates in the south of the Ming Dynasty described by the Ming Dynasty merchants!

In this way, the pirates in the southern seas of the Ming Dynasty are still unable to take care of themselves after being beaten by the Zheng family, the pirate king who has been recruited.

Zong Yicheng couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

I know that the naval battles in the countries outside are getting fiercer than the other, so I have locked down the country.

If he hadn't seen the bombardment that was like a god destroying the world, he wouldn't have knelt down like this, right?

The connection between Tsushima Island and North Korea and the Black Flag is relatively close, but the main direction of Japan's external contacts is the Ming Dynasty. The Hizen Domain, which strictly followed the seclusion order, still has some understanding of North Korea, but it really doesn't know much about the Black Flag.

"If your Majesty agrees, Yoshima can act as an envoy to persuade the Hizen Domain's fleet to leave."

After all, Tsushima Domain was under the command of Hizen Domain, and his family had some connections with many famous names of Hizen Domain, and there were also many in-laws, so he had to be persuaded not to let them die.

Lin Wang waved his hand to shut him up, left the table and went to the deck to look at the equipment on the opposite side again.

Most of them are small boats and fast boats. There are actually quite a few warships that can rival the bird boats in size. They are bloated and have many rowing positions. It seems that they are designed to break the distance quickly and then jump into the gang.

The entire seemingly huge fleet spread out on the sea can only be described in one sentence.

Too backward.

"I'm sure."

Not wanting to waste gunpowder and projectiles on these broken ships, Lin Wang waved his hand, and Zong Yizhen, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty in Tsushima, boarded a small double-deck bird ship with a length of more than 20 meters as the envoy of the Black Flag Navy and

Negotiations between Japanese naval forces.

Ask the other side to withdraw their troops and let the Japanese shogunate and the imperial court come to discuss the Tsushima Island matter with the Black Flag Navy.

But Zong Yizhen arrived in front of the Japanese naval fleet by boat. A 30-meter-long Kanbune was specially sent from the opposite side to paddle over and have a conversation. After learning the intention of the Black Flag Navy.

The Hizen clan warrior opposite gave Soyoshi a slap in the face! Then he laughed and said: "The barbarians are so whimsical! The great names of Hizen Kingdom already have 231 warships! If the shogun mobilizes the guardian generals of all countries,

!The warships will cover the sky!"

After saying that, he didn't give Zong Yizhen a chance and left directly.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Wang got the news and was furious.

"How dare a mere Japanese humiliate me, the Black Flag Messenger!"

Although Zong Yi was sent there temporarily as an envoy, he was still the envoy of Black Flag in this short period of time. His status as an external representative must not be underestimated!

This is no longer an issue that cannot be discussed.

A battle must be fought.

Otherwise, where would the face of Lin Wang, the admiral of the Black Flag Navy, who has yet to be defeated, be placed?

The Hizen Domain navy on the opposite side had already prepared after driving the people back. The Black Flag navy was operating at full capacity. When the armored men were rowing on the boat and the navy was adjusting the sails, the Japanese navy was also rowing at full strength!

A group of "Xiao Zao" clippers quickly left the fleet and headed straight for the Black Flag Navy! The warriors above were prepared with baked jade, kerosene rockets and revolving cannons, waiting in full formation!

The commander of the Hizen Domain navy, Nabeshima Mitsushige, kept roaring and giving orders on his Anzha ship! Let the early speed boats stay away from the largest black ship on the opposite side, and rush to the surrounding bird ships first, jumping to the gang with their numbers!
