The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Li Jihuan set out anyway, bringing with him this group of captives who arrived together and made them his younger brothers. He then took with him the "Legal Looting" certificate and the "Pirate King" qualification certificate given by Li Jize.

On the one hand, he was originally the general of this group of captive soldiers. On the other hand, he was now recognized by the King of Qin as having noble blood, so becoming the Pirate King was a foregone conclusion.

The first thing Li Jihuan did after setting out was, of course, to attack the Eastern Wo, and just like before, he joined the Qi bandits in plundering the Eastern Wo.

What is the current situation in East Japan?

The people of Eastern Japan really felt that they were unlucky. It was an era of war among the princes. After the victory was finally determined, a great general "Yoshida" emerged.

The Yoshida family officially ended the chaotic times and also issued a "ban on military affairs" to stop the samurai from recklessly doing things. Their original intention was, firstly, to fear that other daimyo would have too many samurai under their command, which would affect their rule. Secondly, after the war ended, it was necessary to rest and recuperate.

Let's lay down our arms and return to the fields. Let these warriors stop fighting and kill and just farm peacefully.

pity……

The warriors have no other survival skills except fighting and killing, so since these guys don’t dare to fight in the country, they plan to fight abroad.

But Li Jize was a divine fortune teller! He calculated with his fingers and immediately figured out what the Dongwo people were going to do. Instead, it was Qi Kou who ran over to rob them first.

How presumptuous? How disrespectful?

I originally thought that only small border countries like ours or small overseas countries would do such shameless things as plundering. I never thought that you, the people of Qi, a great country in China, would also do such shameless things.

only……

Aren't you guys fighting the barbarians? Why don't you go plunder them? Why are you plundering us, the East Japanese?

Excuse me! How rude!

Although the East Japanese had ended the war and the emperor was still in office, it was actually the Yoshida family, the largest general, who suppressed the other princes.

Now, because of the Qi bandits' incident, they are unprecedentedly united. Everyone agrees that they should "suppress the bandits" and eliminate these Qi bandits.

At the same time, we should also inform the Great Qi and ask them what they mean. Why don't they restrain their Qi people and come to rob us?

That's it...

A two-pronged approach was adopted, and the general personally issued an order for the entire country to unite and wipe out the Qi invaders.

It's true, when the Qi pirates' "sudden attack" lost its effect, especially when they were in disarray, many pirates were actually wiped out by the Eastern Japanese.

For a time, all the Qi pirates were scared, especially the Eastern Japanese, who were quite cruel. After catching the Qi pirates, they beheaded them and dug out their hearts on the shore to intimidate the people behind them.

As things stand, the Qi invaders feel a little guilty and want to retreat!

But at this time, the "Pirate King" appeared and he called on everyone to be afraid of nothing.

If they go back, they will die anyway. If they fight the Japanese here, they can get everything they want if they win. Most importantly, after three years, wouldn't it be nice to use the wealth looted from the sea to buy land, farmland, and a wife, and live a peaceful life as a "rich man"?

High risk?

Haven’t you heard that the bigger the wind and waves, the higher the price?

beat!

In this way, the Eastern Japanese people were integrated, the pirates were also integrated, and "guerrilla warfare" began between the two sides.

Even though Li Jihuan was defeated by the Qi people, even if he lost to a woman, his former sister-in-law. But what does it matter?

After all, he is from the Li family and has learned military tactics since childhood. The most important thing is that if other pirates want to compete with a country, it will not be enough for you to die ten times!

But behind them stood Li Jize and Qingzhou.

What is there to be afraid of?

Aren't they going to fight? I won't fight you. I'll rely on my powerful ships and cannons, I'll rely on you being an island nation, and I'll circle around you and engage in guerrilla warfare.

First, after Li Jihuan integrated the pirates, he directly seized an uninhabited island nearby to serve as their bridgehead.

They placed the looted items, food, etc. on this island, and then circled around the coast of Eastern Japan. They would land and rob wherever the defense was weak.

Once the Eastern Japanese reacted, they immediately boarded the ship, shook their butts and ran away.

The Eastern Japanese were not stupid either. After doing this several times, they had figured out the pattern and sent their own navy to fight the pirates.

then……

It's just humiliation for yourself!

Previously, we sent out the regular army to fight but were defeated. Now we send out the navy to fight but they are just grinding the mill with nothing and going around in circles in disgrace.

Anyone who has seen the "Liang Ming Naval Battle" knows that there was a naval battle between the Koreans, the Ming people and the Eastern Japanese. The cannons were fired with great fanfare, and the Eastern Japanese warships were very gorgeous, but the funny thing was that they had no cannons, and at most they had muskets!

In this place now, the people of Qi were the first to invent muskets and cannons, but they didn't have them. Even if they really knew how to make them, they couldn't.

why?

East Japan is an island nation! Its iron ore is very poor!

This problem not only existed in this era, but also continued into later generations and even into World War II.

While others were using machine guns, they were using Type 38 rifles. While others were using large tanks, they were using small tanks.

It’s not that they can’t make it, but they really don’t have minerals like iron and copper. They think that the rattling of submachine guns and machine guns is not as good as using the Type 38 rifle to kill an enemy with one shot.

Because of this, when the armies of both sides gather on a large scale to start fighting, it often comes down to national strength: your level of technology, your resources, and the quality of your soldiers.

terribly sorry……

Obviously, the Eastern Japanese cannot do these three things!

In terms of technology, Li Jize had given him some advice in advance. In terms of resources, even if Ren Da Qi was not very good, its mineral resources were unmatched. As for the quality of soldiers, the East Japanese warriors were quite impressive, fearless and unafraid of death.

They climbed the ropes and ran frantically towards the "pirate" ship. Li Jihuan was stunned by this scene.

Lean north on me!

What era is this, brother? Are you still playing boarding battles?

The navy is now going to use artillery. Do you understand artillery?

So Li Jihuan directly ordered all the warships to keep their distance and directly bombard the warships of the Eastern Japanese with artillery.

The poor East Japanese people tasted the humiliation that was originally inflicted on the Chinese people in another time and space!

Their warships could neither catch up nor fight back, and could only watch helplessly as the enemy fired at them, one warship after another falling silent.

Even though the Bushido spirit of the Eastern Japanese made them fearless and brave, there were even captains who directly ordered their ships to ram the Qikou warships at all costs.

But after he destroyed a pirate ship in a "mutual destruction" manner, more pirate ships and more artillery followed...
