Before these little Japanese could react, the entire sea began to sway, and then the boat that Ashikaga and the others were sitting on began to heave up and down.
"Quick, go and see what's going on?" Ashikaga Mitsuru looked serious, and quickly ordered his subordinates to go and see what was going on.
Boom boom boom!
There were three more loud noises, and this time the big ship no longer heaved up and down violently, but after a while of shaking, it first floated up and then sank suddenly.
"Your Excellency is bad, our ship is leaking!"
The Japanese samurai who was sent by Ashikaga to investigate the situation hurried over at this time and reported to Ashikaga who was swaying left and right.
"Hurry up and repair the ship!" Ashikaga Mitsuru's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered his samurai to repair the ship.
boom!
Before the warriors responded, there was another loud noise, and then a round, pitch-black thing the size of a baby's head flew over.
"Your Excellency, get out of the way!"
Watanabe Kirito was quick to see the opportunity, but he said it nicely, but he ran faster than anyone else.
Rumble!
The black ball fell down, smashing the place they occupied just now into a big hole, with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Well, this time the boat is really leaking, and there is no need to repair it!
"Run away!"
"It can't be repaired anymore, Your Excellency, get off the boat!"
The ship was bombed, and all the soldiers on the warship screamed.
These Japanese samurai, who had suffered eight lifetimes of blood misfortune, were so startled that they jumped up and down on the boat, as if the sea had exploded, and everyone was frightened stupid by the series of loud noises just now.
Mitsukane Ashikaga fled to a lifeboat in a panic, staring at the ship slowly sinking into the sea with flames not far behind, dumbfounded.
He didn't know what that thing was at all, especially the roaring sound, which was like thunder.
"Your Excellency, ship, there is a ship over there!"
At this moment, a Japanese samurai on the lifeboat suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted.
Mitsukane Ashikaga and Kirito Watanabe followed the hand of the Japanese samurai and looked towards the ocean in the distance.
There, there is a strange ship.
It's weird to say that, in fact, Ashikaga is no stranger to these ships, because those two ships are ships from the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, they are warships, Fuchuan!
The lucky boat has three layers of towers, wide at the bottom and high at the top and tail, and can accommodate hundreds of people.
It is not a big blessing boat, because the maneuverability of the big blessing boat is not good, this kind of lucky boat is slightly smaller, "suitable for use".
What Mitsukane Ashikaga and Kirito Watanabe were only concerned about was that on the bottom layer of the Fuchuan, there were three black tubes that seemed to be made of iron protruding from the hull.
Although he has never experienced the Yuan Dynasty, he has never been conquered by the iron hooves of the Yuan Dynasty, but Ashikaga still recognized the owner of these pipes at a glance: cannons, artillery!
During the Yuan Dynasty, Mengge Khan formed the first professional artillery unit in the Yuan Dynasty, and started the world's first artillery expedition, which shined brilliantly in the Western Expedition.
Cannons have extremely ferocious and terrifying attack power. How could these Ming people actually install cannons on Fuchuan? (To be continued.)
Chapter 257 Negotiations
On the Daming Fu ship that attacked the Japanese sea ship, in the artillery room where the first cabin was located, Zhu Song, dressed in normal clothes, was watching the situation of the opposite Japanese sea ship through a lookout port.
Standing beside Zhu Song was Zhang Fu in light armor and a big cloak.
That day Zhu Di urgently summoned Zhu Song and Zhang Fu to the palace for an audience. He told Zhu Song and them to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese mission, and let them follow when the Japanese mission left Daming.
The main purpose is to make these Japanese missions completely disappear at sea.
If Zhu Di gave Zhu Song and the others enough warships and people, it would be easy to wipe out these little Japanese.
However, Zhu Di only gave Zhu Song a medium-sized lucky boat. As for the people, there was no soldier on board except the sailors who controlled the ship.
This stumped Zhu Song.
You know, the navy of Ming Dynasty is not as powerful as that of the later generations, and the ships on the sea are just some ordinary crossbows, fireballs, magic smoke, etc... There are no super long-distance weapons like artillery.
Therefore, after receiving Zhu Di's task, Zhu Song begged for an imperial decree from Zhu Di, and then Zhu Song took the craftsmen from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Internal Government Supervision Bureau to the shipyard in Huai'an Prefecture.
Every day, Zhu Song and these craftsmen nestled in the shipyard, staying up very late before returning to their residences.
It went on like this for half a month, and when they got the news that the Japanese mission had appeared in the East China Sea, Zhu Song and the craftsmen finally stopped waiting and drove the lucky boat out of the Huangpu River and into the East China Sea.
Knowing that at this moment, the lucky boat that was awarded to Zhu Song by Zhu Di has finally shown its face, but its appearance has changed drastically.
"Hahaha, Wen Bi, how is this king's bombardment going?" After firing these cannonballs, Zhu Song laughed excitedly.
Hearing Zhu Song's words, Zhang Fu showed a helpless smile on his face, and said, "My lord, is it really okay to attack them directly like this?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Song shrugged and said, "Anyway, this trip to the sea is to make these damned little Japanese all die in the sea. If the ship sinks, wouldn't they all die?"
What he said made sense, but Zhang Fu was speechless.
Can it work?
"My lord, what shall we do next?" Zhang Fu asked.
"It's hard to say, keep on bombing!" Zhu Song couldn't stop after starting the killing ring.
"My lord, in fact, on the fleet of the Japanese mission, there are many things from our Tang Dynasty. Don't you want to make a fortune..." Before Zhang Fu finished speaking, Zhu Song interrupted him .
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhu Song was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he looked annoyed, "If you had told this king earlier, this king would not have bombarded that ship so hastily. "
"My lord, I stopped you at the beginning of my appointment." Zhang Fu's complexion suddenly turned bitter, can we not be guilty of speaking?
"Yeah, I guess I'm wrong!" Zhu Song blushed and said, "Come on, put down the sails, turn the rudder, and chase those little Japans."
"Yes!"
Zhu Song's personal guards responded, and everyone on the ship started to work.
……
"Da, Ming's warship!" Watanabe Kirito said with a look of surprise, "Why did they appear here?"
Mitsuchan Ashikaga's face was very bad: "Now is not the time to talk about this, you guys, protect me on other boats."
