I want to ruin the country

The Japanese pirates not only robbed things, but also kidnapped more than ten women and killed more than twenty men, including three children.

This is a slap in the face!

Cai Hemin immediately convened a meeting of officers above the regimental level, and the topic of the meeting was how to prevent the Japanese pirates from landing.

Chief of Staff Wan Yonggui said,

"Deputy Commander, I think our training is almost complete. We should separate these 10,000 people to be more effective."

Cai Hemindao,

"I was thinking about this too. What do you think is the best way for us to set up camp?"

Wan Yonggui said,

"I think even a large group of 5,000 Japanese pirates would be defeated by our 1,000 new troops. As for the other several hundred, a single company can easily crush them to pieces!"

Cai Hemin nodded. He was still confident in the combat effectiveness of his troops!

What equipment did the Japanese pirates have? In order to run fast, they might not even have heavy weapons.

The Japanese pirates' light weapons were nothing more than what they called iron cannons, or flintlock rifles.

Flintlock rifles don't work well in humid environments and may not fire at any time.

Even if it fires, its range cannot compare to the New China, not to mention its rate of fire, which is a complete crushing defeat!

And now we have a hundred mortars that can fire six or seven miles away. One shot from this thing can almost blow a small boat to pieces!

Cai Hemindao,

"Now we just have to think about how to get the Japanese pirates into the trap we've set up. Once they get in, they won't be able to escape!"

Wan Yonggui said,

"Deputy Commander Cai, do you think this will work?"

Cai Hemindao,

"What do you think!"

Wan Yonggui said,

"Let's do this, this, this. What do you think, Deputy Commander?"

Cai Hemin listened and thought for a long time.

"Okay, Chief of Staff Wan's plan is good. Let's all work together to improve it!"

Someone pointed out the direction, and everyone thought about the details together, and slowly a complete plan took shape!

Tsushima Island is about 40 kilometers southeast of North Korea.

It covers an area of ​​less than 700 square kilometers and originally had a population of only 7,000 to 8,000 people. It was under the jurisdiction of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan.

Tsushima Island is very lively now, with 50,000 to 60,000 people living here.

Apart from the natives, most of the others were pirates.

The largest group of pirates here has more than 15,000 people, and their leader is Yoshida Shigeru.

Next is Watanabe Yuichi's group, which also has nearly 10,000 people.

The third group is Nojiri Masakawa, and they have more than 5,000 people.

The fourth group is Hashimoto Jiro, who has more than 3,000 people.

The fifth group of Japanese pirates was Taro Kishida, and they had about 2,000 people.

The above-mentioned groups of Japanese pirates all have large ships, and they are strong in both men and horses, and can confront the Korean government army head-on.

They mainly plundered between North Korea and China, and they dared to land on the west coast of North Korea.

Sometimes they also live temporarily on the Ryukyu Islands.

There were not many soldiers on the Ryukyu Islands, and they could not defeat them, so they had to compromise.

An agreement was reached with them that they would not steal anything from the Ryukyu Islands, and Ryukyu would be responsible for providing them with supplies.

Yokomichi San was also a pirate. He had eight or nine hundred men under his command and was ranked sixth.

There are about a dozen groups with fewer people than the others, ranging from one or two hundred to several hundred people.

Shogun Tokugawa issued a strict order that anyone who robs the country's fishermen or cargo ships must be wiped out and killed.

But they don't care about robbing North Korea and other countries, and they can even spend money to buy weapons and equipment from the government.

For example, the large warships worth thousands of tons in the hands of the pirates were bought from General Tokugawa!

Pirates are also willing to invest. Only with strong power can they rob more things, and only by robbing more wealth can they buy bigger ships.

The pirates also understand the principle of virtuous cycle!

Since their own government did not care, the pirates used Tsushima Island, which is closest to North Korea, as their base.

Of course, there were some scattered Japanese pirates on other islands, but the number of them ranged from a hundred to eighty, and the least was probably only twenty or thirty.

When there are more people, there are needs. Pirates also need to spend money. They need to eat, drink, defecate, and find women.

Where there is demand, there is a market, and gradually there were taverns, inns, opium dens, brothels, and clinics.

Tsushima Island has become a colorful world!

These pirates can also live in peace with each other under certain conditions.

There was a deep conflict between the largest group, Yoshida Shigeru, and the second largest group, Watanabe Yuichi.

However, after several big fights, Watanabe Yuichi became obedient. He was outnumbered and could not defeat Yoshida Shigeru and the others.

Although I am honest, I am not convinced in my heart. My strength does not allow it, so I can only endure it!

It is not easy for Yoshida Shigeru to defeat Watanabe Yuichi, and it will cost a huge price.

Yoshida Shigeru was unwilling to do such a stupid thing as killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own!

Now the Japanese pirates are robbing themselves and living their own lives, and there is peace for the time being.

Henglu Jingsan had eight or nine hundred men under his command, and they had a total of seventy or eighty large and small ships.

Their weapons were a mess. In addition to iron cannons, the Japanese pirates also had two Japanese swords each!

This comes from the samurai culture of Japan.

The Japanese country now divides people into four classes, the first of which is the samurai.

This is a person who is respected wherever he goes.

So, whether you are a samurai or not, you should shave your head into various funny shapes and put two swords on your waist to pretend to be a samurai.

Why two? One is for fighting with others.

The other one is called Wakizashi. Its function is to use this Wakizashi to induce diarrhea when you fail, lose face, or can't survive.

This is called suicide by disembowelment!

This is also the essence of the Bushido spirit!

Yokomichi Izo's grandfather and father were both pirates. Yokomichi Izo has been living on a ship with his father since he was six or seven years old.

After his grandfather died, his father became a pirate leader.

Yokomichi Izo has been exposed to murder and robbery since he was a child, so he believes that the law of the jungle is the way of nature.

When he was seventeen years old, his father was raping a Korean woman and the woman bit his penis.

No matter how they beat the woman, she just held on tightly and refused to let go.

Until the woman was stabbed to death by Yokomichi Izo, the root of sin that gave birth to Yokomichi Izo was still in her mouth.

Due to lack of timely medical treatment, his father died of tetanus, and he truly became a womanizer!

From then on, Yokomichi San became the new leader.

This guy is even more cruel and ruthless than his father and grandfather.

Not only is he cruel and ruthless, he is also a bit perverted. After catching someone, he always tortures them to death in all kinds of strange ways.

They tried skinning, pulling out tendons, gouging out eyes, and lighting sky lanterns. They tried everything they could.

When Yokomichi San took over, he only had three or four hundred men under his command. However, due to his extreme ferocity and notoriety, his fame among the pirates grew.

Therefore, his strength has grown very quickly, and now it has reached eight or nine hundred people. In time, it is possible that it will grow to several thousand people!
