I want to ruin the country

Li Cunxuan was initially very wary of the cadres sent by the emperor.

But I see that they work very seriously, are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and are very down-to-earth in doing things.

He did not say anything disrespectful to the king, and even protected the king everywhere. He thought, could it be that he guessed wrong, and the emperor had no other intentions.

Deng Yongchang and his men rested in Tianjin for half a month. After all their military supplies were replenished, they set sail and headed straight for Busan Port.

A few days later, Deng Yongchang's fleet met up with Cai Hemin in Busan.

Cai Hemin and his men were amazed when they saw such a fleet. Isn't it an overkill to use this fleet to fight pirates?

Cai Hemin and his men had already received a telegram from the emperor, asking them to land on Tsushima Island first and completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates.

Li Sheng and Li Cunxuan also came to see the ironclad ship. They had invested real money, so they had to see where the money went.

After seeing the entire fleet, they gained confidence. If the problem of Japanese pirates could be completely solved, the money would be worth it.

After hearing from Cai Hemin and Deng Yongchang that they were about to land on Tsushima Island, Li Sheng was still a little nervous. Although this fleet looked very powerful, could they possibly provoke the entire Japanese country?

No matter what he thought, Deng Yongchang and his team were making intensive preparations.

Li Sheng saw that they were really going to fight, and as the king he had to express his attitude, after all, the other party was fighting for them.

After discussing with Li Cunxuan, they took out one million silver coins and some military supplies and gave them to Cai Hemin and Deng Yongchang.

After half a month of preparation, everything was ready, and the entire fleet carrying 15,000 new troops approached Tsushima Island.

There is a large dock on Tsushima Island called Imozakiura, where most of the Japanese pirates' large ships are docked.

For several months, the Japanese pirates on Tsushima Island had a very difficult time.

Last year, Yoshida Shigeru lost seven or eight thousand men, and Yokomichi Izo's entire army was annihilated, which caused great psychological pressure on the Japanese pirates.

They now basically dare not approach the coastline of the Korean Peninsula.

Since they couldn't go out to plunder, they didn't sit idle either. Watanabe Yuichi and Yoshida Shigeru started fighting among themselves.

They had never gotten along, but the difference in strength between Watanabe Yuichi and Yoshida Shigeru was too great, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Now Yoshida Shigeru only has half of his men left. Watanabe Yuichi feels that he has more men than Yoshida Shigeru, and he feels that the opportunity has come.

Watanabe Yuichi wanted to take revenge, and the two sides fought two battles, with both sides winning and losing.

The lord of Tsushima Island couldn't stand it and stepped in to mediate.

The feudal lord came forward, and they had to give him some face before both sides came to a ceasefire.

It's not enough to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, so these guys are starting to get restless.

However, they did not dare to make any big moves, and even if they wanted to rob, they would stay away from Cai Hemin and his men.

There was a big storm at sea these days, so the pirates all returned to the port, moored their ships, and went ashore to eat, drink, and have fun!

On this day, the bandits who were on guard at the dock were looking into the sea with binoculars.

Suddenly, they discovered that a huge fleet was heading towards Tsushima Island.

The bandits were very puzzled. What were the dozens of ships doing there?

As we got closer, we could see the flag on the ship more clearly. It was a ship from the Dragon Kingdom.

The pirates were puzzled. Why did the Dragon people get off the ship?

Hurry and report to the feudal lord and the chiefs.

As soon as they heard that the Dragon Kingdom fleet was coming, the feudal lord, Yoshida Shigeru, Watanabe Yuichi and others rushed to the dock. As soon as they arrived, the Dragon Kingdom ships also approached the dock on their own.

When the fleet was still four or five miles away from the dock, Cai Hemin and Deng Yongchang looked at each other, and Deng Yongchang ordered,

"Shout!"

A large row of tweeters were installed on the Zhiyuan ship, just like the ones used by Kinmen to communicate with the mainland in later generations.

At this time, the loudspeakers on the Chinese warships began to speak, still in Japanese.

It is very clear that they are following the orders of the Chinese emperor to eliminate pirates!

Everyone must lay down their weapons. If you surrender your guns, you will not be killed. If you resist, you will be killed without mercy!

Both the lord of Tsushima Island and Yoshida Shigeru were dumbfounded.

They would never have imagined that the Chinese army would dare to come to their doorstep to fight pirates so blatantly.

They were terrified. Did the Chinese have any magic? Why were their voices so loud? They could hear them clearly even from miles away.

Yoshida Shigeru was even more shocked when he saw a large fleet coming against the wind and waves through the telescope. He thought that the Chinese must have mobilized the entire nation for the Koreans.

Although he was afraid, he was unwilling to surrender. He also had several large ships with cannons that could fire six or seven miles. He quickly gave the order.

"Cannons ready!"

Yuichi Watanabe, Masakawa Nojiri, Motomoto Hashimoto, and Taro Yasuda also organized their own subordinates.

"Hurry up and get on board, and put up a fight!"

Suddenly, horns sounded on the dock and the pirates took action.

Cai Hemin, Deng Yongchang and others saw it clearly through the telescope. They didn't expect the pirates to just sit there and wait for death. The call was just a formality.

Deng Yongchang ordered,

"fire!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Suddenly, all the cannons and guns within reach opened fire, and a black mass of shells flew over like locusts and exploded on the pirate ship.

It is said that thousands of cannons were fired at the same time, there must have been hundreds of cannons!

This was unbearable, and immediately, the pirates' ships were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Some small boats were blown to pieces immediately, and even some large ships could not withstand one or two heavy artillery shells. Some were tilted and some caught fire.

When the pirates saw that they couldn't fight this battle and couldn't hold out even for a single round, those on the shore turned around and ran away, while those on the boat quickly jumped into the sea.

In less than ten minutes, the Chinese fleet rushed to the dock and docked.

Cai Hemin ordered,

"Blow the charge, attack as company units, and take as many prisoners as possible!"

A loud charge sounded, and the soldiers rushed to the shore like tigers out of a cage.

These soldiers were all equipped with the New China Type 1 semi-automatic rifle and had plenty of bullets. They chased after the Japanese pirates and fought them like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Some of the Japanese pirates had already seen the power of this gun. There was no need to load gunpowder or ignite it. Just hook the finger and "bang" it fired a shot.

Basically, someone will fall to the ground either dead or injured!

The Japanese pirates were all scared. This thing was too powerful, and the bullets inside seemed to be endless.

They hated their parents for not giving them two more legs, so the rabbits became their grandchildren.

However, no matter how fast you run, you are not as fast as a bullet. Once someone targets you, there is no way you can escape.

The soldiers ran and shouted in Japanese.

"Surrender and avoid death"

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

Some of the Japanese pirates understood what was said and quickly knelt on the ground, raising their hands high in surrender.

You know what, this trick really works. As long as you raise your hands, the Chinese soldiers will ignore you and continue to charge forward.

Someone would come over from behind, tie them up in a bunch, and gather them together to keep watch over them.
