I want to ruin the country

Tsushima Island is more than 160 miles long from north to south and less than 40 miles wide from east to west, with an area of ​​about 700 square kilometers.

Cai Hemin's soldiers worked like a shovel, completely wiping out the Japanese pirates on Tsushima Island in just three days.

The lord of Tsushima Island was captured, and except for Yoshida Shigeru and Yasuda Taro who were killed in the explosion, the rest of the pirate leaders were taken prisoners.

The pirates and other people on the island captured a total of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

They also seized gold, silver and jewelry looted by the robbers, totaling more than 200 million taels of silver, and became rich again.

The lord of Tsushima also wanted preferential treatment, as he considered him an official of the Wagua Kingdom.

Cai Hemin curled his lips.

"You colluded with the pirates, providing them with an opportunity to harm the people. Your crime is unforgivable. Please pray to God and hope that the Emperor will not kill you!"

Deng Yongchang directly transported these people and property back to the country. The emperor would definitely like these people when he saw them. What a great labor force!

The emperor will definitely be pleased to see these treasures. The more we fight, the richer we become.

Cai Hemin informed King Li Sheng to send someone to take over the land and shops on Tsushima Island.

Li Sheng was very happy. For many years, they had believed that Tsushima Island belonged to them, but they had never taken it back from the Japanese.

The Daqing soldiers took action and the property was finally returned to its rightful owner.

Cai Hemin and his men settled down on Tsushima Island. Fortunately, there were already living facilities here that could accommodate tens of thousands of pirates. After they arrived, they carried out renovations, and Tsushima Island became a very good base.

Tokugawa Ieharu was very annoyed because the Ainu people Atsu in Hokkaido rebelled.

They gradually grew from a hundred or eighty people at the beginning to two or three thousand people.

These people soon controlled sixty percent of Hokkaido.

The Tokugawa family quickly sent Kurosawa Nagata to lead 20,000 troops to quell the rebellion.

Just before Kurosawa Na arrived in Hokkaido, Atsu's troops inexplicably grew to 15,000 people and occupied Sapporo in one fell swoop.

Atsu publicly declared Hokkaido's independence and established the Ainu Kingdom. He considered himself the first Ainu king of the Ainu Kingdom.

The King of Ainu immediately sent someone with a letter to the capital to present a memorial to the Chinese court, expressing his willingness to be a vassal state of China forever and to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor Daqing.

Emperor Daqing also responded very quickly, accepted the letter from the Ainu King, and officially appointed Atuo as the first king of the Ainu Kingdom.

And publicly promised to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Ainu people.

Tokiomi of the Ainu Kingdom excitedly returned to the Ainu Kingdom with the seal and robes bestowed by the emperor.

When Tokugawa Ieharu heard the news, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. What was the Emperor Daqing trying to do? He actually openly supported the rebels.

While sending someone with a letter of protest to meet the Daqing Emperor, he also ordered Kurosawa Ming to wipe out the Ainu King in the shortest possible time.

Soon, Kurosawa Na and the Ainu King came into battle.

After three major battles between the two sides, Kurosawa finally defeated the Ainu King at the heavy price of more than 12,000 people.

The Ainu king led three or four thousand remnants to fight guerrilla warfare against Kurosawa Na, while sending people to ask for help from the Daqing court.

Kurosawa Na still had seven or eight thousand men under his command. He felt that it was beyond his ability to rely on these people to hunt down the Ainu King, so he sent people to ask Tokugawa Ieharu for help.

Tokugawa Ieharu didn't take it too seriously. It was only a matter of time before seven or eight thousand men pursued three or four thousand defeated generals.

What worries him most now is that Tsushima Island was actually taken over by the North Koreans. When did the North Koreans become so good at fighting?

Tokugawa Ieharu had three fleets under his command: Kyushu, Hokkaido and the Royal Navy.

The Hokkaido fleet consisted of 15,000 people and more than 150 warships.

The Kyushu Fleet has 20,000 people and more than 200 warships.

The largest Royal Navy fleet had 35,000 people and 300 warships of various sizes.

Of course, all the warships were sailing ships, and there was not a single ironclad ship.

However, despite the lack of ironclad ships, Tokugawa Ieharu was still quite confident in the combat effectiveness of his naval fleet.

Although the Koreans could fight pirates with the new army of Daqing, when it came to naval power, Tokugawa Ieharu did not take the Koreans seriously.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, especially when the ones who insulted him are the Koreans whom he has always trampled under his feet.

He immediately ordered Konishi Yukinaga of the Kyushu Fleet to lead 30,000 troops to retake Tsushima Island.

This time, in order to deal with the enemies on Tsushima Island, Tokugawa Ieharu also spent a lot of money.

All the ships of the Kyushu fleet were used to transport Konishi Yukinaga's 30,000 troops.

Konishi Yukinaga wanted to take back Tsushima Island in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Korean navy to avenge the previous humiliation.

Konishi Yukinaga was not tall but very stout, and was a samurai who killed people without blinking an eye.

Upon receiving the order, he led 30,000 troops and more than 100 ships to attack Tsushima Island with murderous intent.

When they were about twenty miles away from Tsushima Island, Konishi Yukinaga discovered through the telescope that a group of warships were formed in a semicircle on the dock, ready for battle.

Konishi Yukinaga drew his katana and swung it forward.

"Kill him!"

Deng Yongchang also stared at these pirate ships through the telescope and gave orders.

"Get ready, enemy ships are within ten miles and begin bombarding the flagship with all their might!"

With Deng Yongchang's order, Konishi Yukinaga was in trouble. At least twenty cannons were aimed at his flagship.

Before Konishi Yukinaga's fleet came within their range, Deng Yongchang gave the order,

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

One after another, the hot shells flew towards the Japanese pirates' warships.

The firing parameters had been calibrated long ago, so two shells in the first round of salvo landed near Konishi Yukinaga's flagship.

A shell exploded right in front of the deck where Konishi Yukinaga was standing. The huge explosion stirred up a column of water that soaked Konishi Yukinaga all over.

"what!"

He shouted in surprise, how come the North Koreans' artillery shells were all shrapnel shells, yet they could shoot so far and so accurately? It was simply unimaginable!

He immediately ordered,

"fire!"

Before his voice fell, another round of shells came down like hail.

This time, Konishi Yukinaga was not so lucky. A 150mm shell exploded right behind him. Without any pain, Konishi Yukinaga turned into a ball of blood and was shattered into pieces!

After several shells fell on the ship, the wooden ship could no longer withstand it and was blown into pieces. It disappeared from the sea level in a short time.

The flagship was blown to pieces, and the other warships were dumbfounded. The guns on their ships could not reach the enemy ships, and their commander was gone. They didn't know whether to move forward or retreat.

Konishi Yukinaga's deputy, Torajiro, immediately ordered,

"Raise the flag quickly, give the order to advance, advance, and kill!"
