"Download the banner!" With Li Jie's order, hundreds of warships also lowered the banner of the Ming Dynasty. In front of them was a vast land, with no end at a glance. Those who don't know might even think that this is a continent, but in fact it is Kyushu Island in Japan.

"Go forward at full speed, all the boats on the water will sink at once!" Li Jie ordered again, and Fang Guan immediately agreed and went down to prepare immediately. Li Jie held the ship's side and looked at Jiuzhou Island in the distance, feeling quite excited.

Kyushu was originally the ancient name of the Central Plains, but the Japanese did not know what they thought, and they even called an island Kyushu. Although they explained that there were nine ruled countries on the island, it still made Li Jie feel disgusted.

"After capturing the entire Kyushu Island, I will definitely change the name here!" Li Jiaoguang said to himself. Perhaps because he had been with Lao Zhu for a long time, his personality was unconsciously affected, and he became quite domineering in some things.

"Li Bandu, I heard that you will go back after this trip?" At this moment, someone suddenly walked up to him and asked.

Li Jie turned around and saw Zhang Dingbian walking over in armor. After the baptism of the war, Zhang Dingbian seemed to have completely restored his temperament as an iron-blooded general back then. He stood there without anger and was no longer as kind-hearted as before.

"Yes, I have done everything I can. The next path depends on you to go on your own!" Li Jie nodded with a light smile.

Hearing Li Jie's words, Zhang Dingbian also showed a reluctant expression. Thanks to Li Jie's guidance, he knew that Li Jie had selfish intentions and might even be using them, but Zhang Dingbian and others were willing to do so, because this was the path they chose, at least now they can take control of their destiny.

"General Zhang, ahead of him is the Himemaki Kingdom of Kyushu Island. His current guardian is named Oshimaki Imagawa. This person is also a Kyushu Exploration topic appointed by the Northern Dynasties of Japan. He is mainly responsible for suppressing the Southern Dynasties forces on Kyushu Island. Now it has made great progress. The Southern Dynasties forces are out of reach. The Northern Dynasties will likely unify Kyushu Island. Himemaki is Oshimaki Imagawa's base camp. I wonder if you are confident of breaking this place, General Li Jie felt the atmosphere was a little sad, so he changed the topic.

Feiqian Kingdom is the base camp of the Japanese pirates second only to Tsuma Island. Most of the Japanese pirates who went to Tsuma Island started from Feiqian Kingdom. At that time, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to come here and asked Prince Huailiang, who was in charge of the place at that time to restrain the Japanese pirates. As a result, the other party actually seized the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and killed five people. Lao Zhu was so angry that he almost wanted to send troops to attack Japan.

However, Prince Huailiang is now dead, and the country of Himemaki fell into the hands of the Northern Dynasties. Imakawa Ratsu is one of the powerful ministers in the Northern Dynasties. Now it has occupied most of the Kyushu Island. There were originally the Ouchi clan, the Otomo clan and the Shaoer clan on the island, but now except for the Shaoer clan, the other two have defected to the Northern Dynasties.

"Don't worry, Li Bandu, I have already figured out the situation in Kyushu. Feiqianguo is located at an important location, close to Tsushima Island, and it is also the political and economic center of the island. As long as we capture this place, we can intimidate the Japanese on the island. In addition, the reinforcements from our rear are about to arrive, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese counterattack at that time!" Zhang Dingbian smiled again. He had already figured out the reality of the Japanese, so he also had absolute confidence in this attack on Kyushu Island.

Li Jie nodded when he heard this. Although the whole plan was designed by him, others still needed to do some details, such as Goryeo, which was Jiang Yun and Zhu Di to help him make up for the leaks. Now he doesn't need to interfere in the affairs of Japan. After all, if a hundred things like war are tied together, he is not as good as Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng.

While speaking, Li Jie and his fleet finally arrived at the coast of Feiqianguo. Some small fishing and transportation boats were shocked to see this huge fleet, and even forgot to escape.

Li Jie had no mercy on these people and directly ordered the warship to crash into it. Before, he asked someone to lower the banner of the Ming Dynasty, which was to imply that everyone was no longer the navy of the Ming Dynasty, but a pirate similar to Japanese pirates, but his target changed from the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese Kingdom.

Feiqian Kingdom was originally one of the base camps of Japanese pirates. It also made a fortune by the plunder of Japanese pirates. It belonged to one of the richest areas on Jiuzhou Island, so it also had a large-scale naval army here, but they had no preparation in advance. When they discovered the Ming navy, they hurried to go out to sea to meet the enemy.

However, the navy is a technical branch, and the equipment gap cannot be compensated by personal courage. These Japanese boats face the Ming Dynasty warships, just like a three-year-old child facing an adult and strong man, and have no power to fight back. What's more, the Ming Dynasty warships are also equipped with long-range weapons such as cannons and crossbows.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current navy of the Ming Dynasty is almost invincible. Even in Europe, the current navy will not surpass the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years, let alone the small Japan. Therefore, Fangguan’s hundreds of warships came to Japan. As long as the supply can keep up, he can completely crush the entire Japanese navy.

In just half a day, the Japanese navy that was facing the enemy was completely disappeared. Then the Guanming navy lined up in a row, and artillery took turns to bombard the port, knocking the Japanese army that had already arrived at the port on their backs. Zhang Dingbian and others took advantage of the chaos to land, gathered into a large army and directly rushed to the Dazaifu of Feiqian Kingdom, which was also the largest city in Kyushu Island.

After seeing Zhang Dingbian and others killing the Japanese troops on the shore and heading to the island, Li Jie ordered again: "Go north along the coast and destroy all ports!"

"Yes!" Fang Guan also agreed again without hesitation. He knew that Li Jie wanted to establish his authority, which was a warning to Japan, and also dispersed some pressure for Zhang Dingbian and the others. After all, the port on the beach was destroyed, and many forces on the island might not be able to gather together to deal with Zhang Dingbian and the others.

Hundreds of warships headed north, and the ports along the coast were destroyed by them. For a moment, the entire coast of Jiuzhou Island was also trapped in a sea of ​​fire. Although Li Jie had brought down the banner, those with insights could definitely guess their origin. After all, only the Ming Dynasty had such strength.

However, Li Jie was not worried about the consequences of doing so. Even if the Japanese complained to the Ming Dynasty afterwards, as long as he bit him to death and refused to admit it, Japan had no evidence anyway, let alone Lao Zhu supported him behind him. As the saying goes, every man is innocent and guilty. Since he learned that Japan has a silver mine, the entire Japan has been regarded as a treasure by Lao Zhu.

In the end, Li Jie and his fleet rushed to Guanmen Strait, which is the throat of Kyushu Island and Honshu Island. It has always been a place that military strategists must compete for. Now it is under the control of the Ouchi family. There are ports on both sides of the strait, and the passing ships are constantly flowing. It can be said that it is the busiest maritime passage in Japan.

However, when Li Jie and his fleet arrived here, all the ships on the sea were sunk and the ports on both sides of the strait were burned to pieces. When the contemporary head of the Ouchi clan, Yoshihiro Ouchi, arrived, he only saw the scorched earth on both sides of the straits. As for the fleet, it had already left, which made Yoshihiro Ouchi, the famous general, screamed in anger, but there was no way.

This day can be said to be the darkest day on Kyushu Island. The local Japanese finally realized the fear of the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Because some people recognized that the ship that committed the murder was just the ship of the Ming Dynasty, some later called this day the "Ming Ship Disaster", and this day also opened a new prelude to Kyushu Island.

After destroying the Guanmen Strait, Li Jie ordered the fleet to return. When they arrived at the outer sea of ​​Dazaifu, the war had already ended on Zhang Dingbian. Although Dazaifu was the largest city on Kyushu Island, it was still an inconspicuous city in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Dingbian and others had a rich experience in siege, so they quickly captured Dazaifu and captured Imakawa Ratsu, who had no time to escape in the city.

Of course, Zhang Dingbian and the others took advantage of the raid this time. The Japanese on the island had no time to react, so they occupied the Dazai Mansion. However, Zhang Dingbian and the others would definitely face the fierce counterattack of the Japanese. These depended on Zhang Dingbian and the others themselves. Li Jie could only send people to transport the materials from the rear so that they could prepare to defend the city.

After doing this, Li Jie finally ordered Fang Guan's fleet to return to Tsushima Island, but he only had a night off on Tsushima Island, and immediately took a boat to return to the next day. Lao Zhu issued an edict to him before, asking him to finish the work here as soon as possible and return to Nanjing.

When he thought of going back to Nanjing, Li Jie was also helpless because Lao Zhu asked him to go back this time because the reason was to move the capital. Lao Zhu planned to let Zhu Biao go to inspect Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places in person to see which city in the north is more suitable as the capital.

In other words, Li Jie may have just returned to Nanjing and was about to go on a tour with Zhu Biao to the north, and he didn't even have a rest time. Li Jie was also very helpless about this. It was not that he liked to work, but that Lao Zhu forced him to work, which was even more hateful than the capitalists in later generations.

However, when he thought of Zhu Biao, Li Jie was a little worried. He originally planned to find an opportunity to let Zhu Biao lose his fat body after returning to Nanjing. After all, he is so fat, and his health will definitely have problems. In addition, he worked hard to move the capital. If he really became ill like in history, with the medical conditions of this era, he might not be able to save him.

But now that Lao Zhu is urging him so urgently, Li Jie is also worried that he will not have time to let Zhu Biao lose weight after returning to Nanjing, so Li Jie is also very anxious during this period. Zhu Biao is his father-in-law and his biggest backer. If something happens to him, all his previous efforts will be in vain. Maybe he will have to turn around and hug Zhu Di's thighs, but Zhu Di's bad temper is no worse than Lao Zhu. Following him is the real companion of the king like a tiger.
