Chapter 288 Japanese Pirates! Eunuch Ji, It’s Time to Recruit Troops!

Latest website:

Fisherman Island.

It is one of the sixty-four islands in Penghu, and one of the few islands with a relatively large area.

Wang Jinghong stood on the bow of the ship, his cloak rustling behind him in the sea breeze.

It turned out that the three of them went to sea with a naval fleet. Under the order of the prisoner King Han, they went to recruit Penghu Jilongshan to surrender and reestablished the Penghu Inspection Department.

But Zheng He felt that this was too slow. After all, the Jilong Mountain in Penghu was full of indigenous immigrants and had not yet established a decent political power. At most, they were just some small native chiefs.

They brought with them 1,500 warships and more than 20,000 naval officers on this trip. Their strength was compared to the army's five guards!

Damn it, Zheng He himself felt ashamed to take such an invincible navy to fight two small native chiefs in Jilong Mountain, Penghu.

So after three people discussed it, it was decided that Wang Jinghong would lead 500 warships and 5,000 naval officers to deal with Penghu Jilong Mountain. Zheng and Wu Xuan would lead the main army directly northward and clean up the coastal islands. , wipe out the Japanese pirates and bandits entrenched on the island.

After the matter at Jilong Mountain in Penghu was resolved, Wang Jinghong led his fleet to the north again and met up with the main fleet in the Ryukyu Kingdom to destroy this overseas barbarian country that was in turmoil. Finally, the two armies joined forces to conquer the Japanese country!

In a sense, this is the first time that Wang Jinghong has obtained independent command. In the past, he served as Zheng He's deputy, and his talents were overshadowed by Zheng He.

Therefore, Wang Jinghong strongly agreed with this division of troops.

After all, conquering Jilong Mountain in Penghu was a big achievement, enough to leave his name as a eunuch in history!

Although Wang Jinghong was a eunuch, he would read and practice calligraphy whenever he had time, so it was inevitable that he would suffer from some common problems of literati.

And leaving a name in history is an irresistible temptation for every literati!

Just as he was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared next to him.

"Eunuch Wang, when will we take action?"

Hearing this hoarse and low voice, Wang Jinghong glanced at Ji Gang, who was wearing a black robe, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said Eunuch Ji, wasn't it just that you received that knife? Are you like this?"

"The sun is shining straight on the sea, and you're still wearing a black robe. Isn't it hot?"

Ji Gang: "???"

Eunuch Ji?

Oh my god!

You are murderous and heart-wrenching!

Ji Gang had tears in his eyes. He never thought that one day he would be called "father-in-law"!

That beast, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui, really deserves to die!

Recalling that month of life where life was worse than death, Ji Gang suddenly shuddered.

Just at this moment, the sentinel ship ahead sent a semaphore.

The flag bearer immediately went forward to report: "Sir Wang, we found an island ahead. Judging from its size and location, it should be Yuweng Island. Do you want to go to the island to search?"

"Well, send two thousand households to the island to search. If they encounter the people, they are not allowed to fight. If they encounter Japanese pirates and bandits, they will be taken to the boat. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Each guard usually oversees five thousand-household stations, and each thousand-household station has a strength of 1,120 soldiers.

Wang Jinghong sent two thousand households to search the island, and he had already taken a liking to the Fisherman Island.

After all, Yuweng Island is quite large, and behind it is Penghu Island, where the Penghu Inspection Division used to be.

Then Wang Jinghong looked at Ji Gang and said with a smile: "Eunuch Ji, why are you still standing there? Take your dozens of numbers to the island to recruit troops!"

Ji Gang nodded, ignoring the eunuch's deliberately teasing title.

His only surviving youngest son is still in the hands of the thief King Han, so Ji Gang has to obey the arrangements honestly.

The King of Han ordered him to go out to sea with the navy fleet to suppress bandits, conquer these Japanese bandits along the way, and use them for his own use, and then go to harm the Japanese people in the Japanese country.

Then, the Fisherman Island in front of him is the first step for him to become the Pirate King of the East China Sea!

Watching Ji Gang and his men board the Mengchong battleship, they headed straight to Yuweng Island.

Wang Jinghong looked at his back and showed a meaningful smile.

A group of rebellious officials and traitors who are trying to plot rebellion, do you really think that Prince Han will spare your lives?

I just want you to use your spare energy and make some contribution to the Ming Dynasty to atone for your sins before you die.

However, soon after the naval officers landed on the island, there was an earth-shattering cry of killing.

Soon, injured soldiers returned from defeat and reported: "Your Majesty, the situation is not right. There is a group of ruthless bandits on this island. They are suspected to be a group of Japanese pirates who have fled here. There are about a thousand people and thousands of households." Sir, please ask the prince to send troops for reinforcements as soon as possible!"

"Asshole!" Wang Jinghong was angry, "Even if they have a thousand people and you have two thousand, why can't you defeat them?"

The little flag covered the wound and hurriedly explained: "My lord, these Japanese pirates consider themselves warriors. They advocate some kind of 'bushido spirit'. They fight fiercely and are not afraid of death. They are very difficult to deal with!"

"What nonsense is Bushido? We think you are just cowards who are afraid of death and have no eggs!"

After giving the guy a hard slap, Wang Jinghong shouted angrily to the left and right.

"Come here, bring up the Qianhu Firearms Team, bring the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Bird Gun, and follow our family to the island in person!"

"We want to see if this pirate has one head, one mouth, two eyes and three legs!"

Because the Royal Manufacturing Bureau had optimized and improved firearms, at the suggestion of the Supervisor of the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Navy specially formed a Firearms Thousand Households Team in each guard to exclusively use firecrackers and artillery in combat.

However, it is a pity that because the problem of artillery recoil has not been solved, the navy cannot carry lethal weapons such as barbarian cannons when going to sea.

However, portable artillery such as the Wankou Cannon and the Tiger Crouching Cannon are completely portable, and naturally they became the favorites of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

Among them, Wang Jinghong's favorite is the Crouching Tiger Cannon, because it is not only easy to carry, but also has good lethality, and is extremely suitable for mountain combat, just like now!

Stimulated by Wang Jinghong's personal participation in the battle, the navy officers and soldiers were instantly excited and full of momentum. They rushed to board the Mengchong battleship.

His prince and his father-in-law dare to go into battle and kill the enemy even if they have no eggs. How can we, a dignified man of seven feet, not be as bloody as a eunuch?

Under strong stimulation, the navy officers screamed and fought on the island.

Wang Jinghong pulled out the sword from his waist and without hesitation, went straight to the battlefield.

Along the way, he saw many aboriginal residents, all of whom were ragged, sallow and thin, and lived in crude shacks!

As soon as they saw the Ming Dynasty soldiers, these indigenous people knelt down and kowtow in fear. Apparently they were tortured and humiliated by the Japanese pirates on a daily basis!

Soon Wang Jinghong arrived at the battlefield, and what he saw was a rather steep mountain stronghold surrounded by cliffs, which was extremely dangerous.

Wang Jinghong was also shocked when he saw a place like this. This place was simply an ideal place for pirates.

As long as you occupy this mountain, you can hoard food here, claim the mountain as king, and use it as the base for pirates and bandits to harass and plunder everywhere!

With such a terrain, it is not bad as a naval sentry post.

At this moment, Ji Gang was leading his men to fight with the Japanese pirates and sea bandits. In hand-to-hand combat, the two sides were inextricably killed.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jinghong immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Ji Gang and others heard the sound of withdrawing their troops. Although they were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to retreat immediately.

The Japanese pirates behind them were not willing to let them go easily, so they pursued them without hesitation.

However, when they entered the shooting range, a dense sound of fire cannons sounded, and hundreds of bird cannons were fired at once, making the sound loud and loud!

After a round of volley fire, all the surviving Japanese pirates were frightened and fled towards their lair on the mountain without any hope of life.

"Oh, fierce in combat? Brave and fearless of death? A bunch of useless things!"

"Pursuit! Leave no one behind!"

Wang Jinghong glanced at the two thousand households coldly, and then ordered coldly.

The chase continued to the foot of the mountain, and finally a few Japanese pirates managed to escape back to the village.

Seeing that the Ming army stopped chasing and stopped moving forward, these Japanese pirates were still laughing wildly, thinking that relying on the natural danger, they could be safe.

However, the next moment, thunderous cannons sounded, and rows of squatting tiger cannons roared, embarking on their fate of slaughtering Japanese pirates!
