Chapter 120 Taige Ambition
The frigate sailed in the storm of the Bashi Channel, even the 1,300-ton Jiangnan still had a very bumpy ride.
The huge warships were constantly thrown up and landed heavily on the sea surface. The turbid waves were emptying, and they could easily cross the high deck, flood the entire hull, revealing only half of the mast.
But the coast guards were very concerned about this. They were used to the wind and waves. They knew that this level of test could not do anything to the solid ladle hull. They just had to drop the sail, settle and tie all the items on the boat, and then arrange the duty. The rest could hide in the cabin and the entertainment room and enjoy themselves.
In the luxurious Commander-in-Chief Suite in the Jiangnan Stand Tower, the lights on the walls are bright and stable, without any impact on the bumps.
Yes, this is an electric light.
The application of radio has prompted the continuous improvement of battery technology. The continuous improvement of battery performance has made lighting with electric lights a reality. This is theoretically easy to achieve - when the current passes through the filament, the temperature of the filament continues to rise, just like red-burned iron can emit light and emit light.
But under the blockade of Zhao Hao's limited generation difference theory, the night when the electric lights illuminate the world is still far away. Therefore, the Taoist Institute did not spend too much effort on this, but only built a few light bulbs for the institute and Zhao Hao to enjoy it privately.
Now the electric light in Zhao Hao's room is made of a carbonized bamboo wire installed in a vacuum glass bottle, which can be lit for 500 hours. Although changing the light bulb once every two months is a bit troublesome, he doesn't need to change it, so it's still very pleasant to use.
At this time, Jinke, Zhu Jue, Ma Yinglong, and the three giants of the Coast Guard gathered together, but no one became interested in electric lights.
They had long been accustomed to the endless new inventions of the commander-in-chief, and they all thought this thing was ordinary.
There is no way. Since the amazing radio came out, their threshold has been high enough to the cloud, and Zhao Hao would not be surprised to find anything.
At this time, Zhao Hao sat alone on his beloved single rhinoceros sofa, smoking and talking to the three of them.
"How about it? This time, the officers and soldiers are in a bad mood?" Zhao Hao held his sea willow pipe, and the thick beard on his lips became more and more kind.
"Yes." Zhu Jue nodded and smiled bitterly, "Everyone is asking why they should listen to the imperial court? How many ships does the emperor have? Whatever we ask us to do?"
"Indeed, there are even more irritable." Ma Yinglong nodded, and skillfully treated the cigar head with a cigar cutter. "At the heart-to-heart talks between various ships, a large number of officers and soldiers said that they would just turn the matter back, why should they be cowardly with the bird emperor?"
"We still have to make it clear to the officers and soldiers that we are taking back the fist to hit it. If we don't air the Beihai, how could Toyotomi Hideyoshi make up his mind to poke out his glans?" Zhao Hao took a light breath of his pipe.
"This kind of ideological work is not easy to do now." Jin Ke was in his sixties. His gray hair, bronze skin, and deep wrinkles were the marks of his years of hard work. But his waist was still straight and he always maintained an impeccable military posture.
"In recent years, the coast guard fleet bullies all over the world in various war zones, and they all became arrogant soldiers and generals of Wen Zhan Zexi. When they encountered hard battles, they wrote blood letters to fight, screaming and scrambling to the forefront. When they needed to endure and retreat, they would complain and talk a lot, and they were as irritable as if they were Sun Monkey King who was Bimawen."
"Oh, you're also watching "Journey to the West"?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but envy that this writer's life is worth it.
"Haha, we're all watching." Jin Ke and the other two nodded and smiled.
"The most popular cartoon in the army now is "The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace". Everyone asked, when will we make a big Trouble in the Heavenly Palace?" Ma Yinglong lit a cigar with a lighter and asked with a smile.
"Hahaha, I understand." Zhao Hao pointed at Ma Yinglong with his pipe and laughed loudly: "Why are the grassroots commanders and fighters so anxious? The root cause is that you leaders. You like to fight wars and scream, so they are all so aggressive!"
"Hehe, the army should be aggressive, this is a flaw that cannot be changed..." Ma Yinglong touched his head and said proudly.
"Hahaha!" The four of them burst into laughter.
"But no matter what, our retreat is still useful." Zhao Hao smiled and handed a letter to the three of them and said, "This is just received."
When the three of them saw it, they started with 'My father'. They didn't have to read the signature and knew that the good son of the commander-in-chief, the Japanese great-name Zhao Jiakang, came from a letter.
~~
Nobunoe Ieyasu said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had learned that the Emperor of the Celestial Empire had re-banned the sea, and all the sea ban fleets were withdrawn. Even Ishimi Ginyama and Sado Kinshan gave up the information...
This made the monkey ecstatic. As Zhao Hao expected, after pacifying the Japanese islands, he began to daydream to invade the mainland.
‘In my life, I swear to include the territory of Tang into my territory.’ Not long ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi said this in public.
In fact, Hideyoshi wanted to do this a few years ago, instead of doing boring and troublesome things like tracing, knives and hunting.
But his younger brother, his right-hand man, Toyotomi Hidenaga, has been advising him: "For many years of foreign wars, they have consumed countless people and food, but people are not convinced. In this way, what we get is not as much as we lose. Therefore, using more diplomatic means to make the external submission, and more ruling internal affairs is the best way to enrich the country and strengthen the army."
But the only one who could stop Hideyoshi, Hideaki, died of serious illness not long ago, which completely lost the resistance of the monkey. He could finally realize his ultimate dream of swallowing North Korea first and then destroying the Ming Dynasty!
Of course, Hideyoshi is definitely not a fool to be able to grow from an ugly farmer to a Japanese world.
Before he was determined to invade North Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had always been cautious, had weighed the trade-offs for a long time.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the prospect of this battle was very optimistic, at least the battle to invade Korea would undoubtedly win.
Monkey is not baseless confidence. The Japanese Mishima just ended the century-long Warring States era in his hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole nation is a soldier.
Now he has a million soldiers under his command, and they are all brave and good at fighting troops. Among them are large-scale musket troops and proficient in the three-stage strike tactics.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, equipment tactics, and combat experience are all at its peak, so it is no wonder that the monkeys have expanded to the point where they think they are King Kong.
And their opponent in this battle, North Korea, was simply a fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking
Since peacefully becoming a good son of the Ming Dynasty, the Li Dynasty has basically never fought a war. As the saying goes, "In the 200-year peaceful life, the people do not know the war." What is the military of the Ming Dynasty's guards look like and what is their army.
Moreover, the Li Dynasty not only had many shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty, but also even more than that. For example, they entered a tragic era of party struggles decades ahead of the Ming Dynasty, and the brains of the people in the east, west, south and north were all exaggerated.
In addition, they also retained the aristocratic system. The descendants of the two classes of nobles will always be nobles, and the descendants of the untouchables will always be untouchables...
In short, the Lee North Korea perfectly showed the world what an East Asian country would be like without external pressure.
No wonder Toyotomi Hideyoshi was obsessed with them. It was simply a dish that was easy to eat!
But beating a dog depends on the owner, let alone beating his son, you have to think twice about whether he can beat his father.
Compared with North Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had very limited understanding of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Japanese in this era are short and despicable, they are completely different from the Celestial people, so it is difficult to send spies to sneak into the Ming Dynasty to spy on it.
Their sources of information about the Celestial Empire were based on Japanese pirates and on Tang Shang. These two types of people disappeared after the rise of the coast guard fleet, and Zhao Hao began to strictly block the news.
Therefore, the monkey's understanding of the Celestial Army was still at the point where a small group of Japanese pirates went to the coast of Ming Dynasty to rob him, as if they were in a state of no one. The son followed his father, so it was reasonable that they were as bad as North Korea.
The only thing Toyotomi Hideyoshi was concerned about was the coast guard fleet. He was deeply impressed by the Battle of Guanmen Strait twenty years ago and the demise of the armored ship of Kyuki Katsurachi twelve years ago.
However, this only obstacle seemed to have lost interest in the Japanese Mishima, which had a large population and a small land area. It shifted its focus to the Southeast Ocean more than ten years ago. Later, the number of coast guard warships that appeared in the Japanese waters decreased year by year, and the order of the Three Forbidden Foreign Regulations was ineffective.
His army, Watase Touchi Sea, pacifying the Four Kingdoms, and the battle to conquer Kyushu in the Watanabe Strait, were not disturbed by the coast guard warships, which is proof!
It’s ridiculous that Tokugawa Gong accepted his godfather with a shameless face, but his godfather abandoned his godson in a blink of an eye...
However, Hideyoshi, who was cautious by nature, was still worried that once his army crossed the sea, Li Chao would definitely ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty ordered the coast guard fleet to go north and block the Tsushima Strait?
At that time, not only did his army lose logistical and support, but he could not even retreat. Such a situation was too dangerous - this was also an important reason why Xiu Chang opposed him.
However, at this moment, the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty actually abandoned his martial arts and re-banned the sea! The coast guard fleet was also declared illegal and disbanded within a time limit... Although they were unlikely to be so obedient, they would definitely not obey the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty anymore, and might even rebel directly!
In short, the biggest obstacle on the road to Hideyoshi's invasion disappeared like this.
The smooth things made him even a little doubtful. Is there a fraud? Did the Celestial Empire know that I was going to fight North Korea and deliberately led the snake out of the hole?
The monkey thought to himself, it's impossible. I have never made any public opinion on fighting North Korea. How could the Celestial Empire know?
In the end, Nobunaga could only attribute it to the protection of God Amaterasu. He even doubted whether he was the illegitimate son of God Amaterasu. No matter how he looked at his cheating life, it seemed like someone was secretly making arrangements.
So Hideyoshi went to the Ise Shrine to offer sacrifices and divination, and also received the inspiration of "Reunification of the Three Kingdoms". Now he made up his mind to summon daimyos, Maori Hiromoto and other daimyos, and announced his plan to annex North Korea through the country's efforts!
Daming was worried that the Celestial Empire would send troops to aid the North Korea, so he said contemptuously: "The Ming Dynasty is a country with long robe and big sleeves, and it is vulnerable!"
The invasion of the North Korean Republic became a foregone conclusion.
Chapter completed!
