Chapter 401: Cross 4 seas, sail across the ocean

"Master Hou, such a gun... how much is one?"
Both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are famous players, and one can see the powerful power of this new type of firecracker.
"This is the Jiajing 40 rifle."
Lu Li glanced at the two of them, then smiled: "Do you want? One ten taels of silver with one hundred bullets attached."
"Twelve taels of silver?"
Qi Jiguang couldn't help screaming.
Yu Dayou next to him also opened his eyes wide, with a shocked expression on his face.
Is it too expensive?
that's true! Now that the steam power has been updated, the manufacturing cost has been greatly reduced, and the production efficiency has also doubled. The cost of a gun is only about two taels of silver, which is a bit cruel to double.
"It's unbelievable that you can make such a firecracker with a dozen silver."
Qi Jiguang raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, and said, "Master Hou, the firecrackers made by the Ministry of Industry nowadays cost thirty taels of silver. They also explode from time to time. The power is completely incomparable to yours."
Okay, I still shouted the price lower.
Lu Li smiled and said, "I'm the cost price, so I can support you."
"Thank you Lord Hou!"
The two hurriedly bowed to Lu Li, their hearts moved even more.
This is clearly Hou Ye's care for us.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou now have five thousand soldiers and horses under their command, and they have each placed an order for five thousand rifles.
Then... Lu Li took them to see the artillery again!
After a shelling, a large hole was exploded in the ground.
The power of such artillery made Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's eyes shine bright again, buy it! Must buy!
The artillery is more expensive, one thousand taels of silver. The two each bought ten more artillery pieces.
Then, Lu Li showed them military uniforms, rations, logistics support vehicles and other military supplies.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou seemed to be incarnations of hand-chopping parties, and they kept buying.
When they finished their shopping, the two of them were shocked to find that they had placed an order of more than 200,000 taels of silver from Lu Li.
Damn it! What's happening here? Didn’t we come to ask? How did it become a big purchase?
And... after buying so many things, we simply can't spend so much money?
"Two generals, have you heard of mortgages?"
Lu Li smiled.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, using the mortgage model and using Lu Li's standards, each equipped a full set of equipment that could equip five thousand people, and they owed Lu Li a large sum of money.
After the weapons and equipment are bought, the after-sales service must be kept up.
Lu Li kindly sent a "Recruit Training Manual" to the two of them, and each sent a hundred instructors to assist in military training and guide the use of new weapons and equipment.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your love!"
Qi Jiguang and the two were grateful, leading the instructor team, with a lot of equipment and supplies, owed a debt, and went back with joy.
The military reform of the Ming Dynasty took another big step forward.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou themselves are famous generals, equipped with new weapons and equipment, and after completing military training, they are bound to shine, and they are bound to sling all kinds of dissatisfaction.
This served as a good example.
When others see the success of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, they will inevitably follow suit, and more people will inevitably purchase new weapons and equipment and learn new training methods and combat methods.
Without Lu Li's forcible push, more people will come by and take the initiative to carry out military reforms.
The world is so big that you can't finish fighting with Lu Li alone.
Only more and more people join in, the tide of the times is rolling down, and a huge army is sweeping in all directions.
Speaking of it, the number of troops in the Ming Dynasty is really scary.
The guards in each province are over 200,000. Two Beijing and 13 provinces add up to three or four million troops.
If all were changed to a new army...
Well, this is just a delusion, it is impossible to afford such a large new army, and there is no need to make so many troops.
A new force with tens of thousands of people already possesses the intrepid combat capability to fight all kinds of objections.
For the entire Ming Dynasty, there are at most 500,000 new troops, which is enough.
Each province stationed a 10,000-person troop, and the others...all out, open up the frontiers!
...
Time passed day by day.
The affairs of the Governor’s Office in Nanzhili have basically been on the right track.
Under the leadership of agricultural experts, the spring ploughing of 42 health centers has been successfully completed, and high-yield crops have been fully planted.
The recruitment of recruits in various health posts is also proceeding smoothly.
It's just that... raising a 200,000 army requires huge amounts of money, food and materials. Lu Li can't handle it at all, so he can only reduce the scale and deal with it by half.
Recruit one hundred thousand soldiers this year, then recruit the remaining one hundred thousand soldiers next year, and complete the formation of a 200,000 army in two years.
In addition, the various workshops set up by the forty-two guards have all been put into production smoothly, and various materials are being produced continuously.
The construction of the heavy industry base in Jinshan Port Industrial Zone is also very smooth. Metallurgy and ironmaking, metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and various steam-powered machinery and equipment are constantly working, and the manufacturing of guns and industrial equipment is in full swing.
All the work progressed very smoothly, but Lu Li became more leisurely, and continued to study scientific immortality cultivation with the old Taoist Tan Yuheng.
It is worth mentioning that the promotion of high-yield crops hosted by Hai Rui has officially taken the first step.
Last year, there was a locust plague in Henan Province, and food production was reduced across the board.
Hai Rui has requested orders to conduct pilot trials of new crops in Henan Province to comprehensively promote drought-tolerant high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The key reason why Lu Li would think of Hai Rui was...this guy is really a scam.
Hai Rui, who has studied in Lujiazhuang for more than half a year, eats Luli, wears Luli, and uses Luli. Before leaving, he abducted dozens of tenants who were proficient in planting and breeding.
If it wasn't for him to be an upright official, Lu Li almost caught him and beat him up.
Hai Rui is conducting a high-yield crop pilot project in Henan Province. Once the pilot is completed, various high-yield crops will be fully promoted. Next year, there will be high-yield crops everywhere in Daming, right?
In fact, in the Nanzhili area, especially in the two prefectures of Susong, because of the bumper harvest of Jinshanwei and other health centers, countless people in the surrounding area have also followed up, introduced high-yield crop seeds and fully planted high-yield crops.
...
When Lu Li was engaged in construction...the Japanese pirates came again!
Lu Li was sitting in the Nanzhili area, and the Japanese pirates did not dare to come. But... Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong and Guangxi, Qiongzhou, Japanese pirates are everywhere.
Lu Li's record was indeed scary, but it took time for the army to start pulling out. When Lu Li came over, the Japanese pirates had already robbed them.
What's more, in the eyes of the Japanese pirates, Lu Li is a terrestrial tiger, but they are sea dragons. No matter how powerful you are, Huatinghou can still chase us at sea to beat us?
Lu Li replied: Yes!
Lao Tzu's three destroyers have been floating at sea for several months!
Jiajing forty-one year, May.
The Japanese pirates attacked Zhejiang Province and the territory of Taizhou Prefecture, and the Japanese pirates Ye Ma looted everywhere.
Jiajing forty-one year, June.
The Japanese pirate Wangzhi tribe, and tens of thousands of troops attacked Fujian Province, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Zhangzhou Prefecture, all in emergency.
This time, Hu Zongxian didn't know what to think. He didn't ask the court for an order or let Lu Li lead the army to quell the Japanese.
After half a month, Lu Li received the Di Bao, and it turned out that Hu Zongxian had fallen.
The reason for Hu Zongxian's downfall has nothing to do with the various messy accusations impeached by the Qingliu, and it is completely a victim of political struggle.
Because... Elder Yan Ge stepped down.
As a member of the Yan Party, Elder Yan Ge's resignation directly led to the dismissal of Hu Zongxian, the governor of the Anti-Japanese War, and he was taken to Beijing for guilt.
Hu Zongxian was dismissed and questioned, and no one presided over the overall situation at the southeast boundary.
Qi Jiguang's troops are stationed in Zhejiang Province.
The Japanese pirate Ye Mabu attacked Taizhou Prefecture and looted everywhere. Qi Jiguang immediately led the army to attack.
The five thousand soldiers and horses under Qi Jiguang's command have completed three months of preliminary military training under the training of instructors and have certain combat capabilities.
With the help of the five thousand new army, the thousands of Japanese pirates who fought against the Japanese pirate Ye Mabu were completely crushed and crushed, and they fought a series of victories.
In Fujian Province, Yu Dayou's five thousand new-style troops also completed three months of training.
He fought a positional battle with the Japanese pirate Wang Zhibu, directly defeating an army of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, and achieved a brilliant victory.
However... Japanese pirates are pirates.
Unable to win on land, Quante went to sea. When the army retreated, they came back for a wave of robbery.
In the Ming Dynasty today, there is no coastal defense at all.
The long coastline is full of landing points for Japanese pirates. When the army came, they ran, landed in another place, and continued to burn, kill, and looting.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were so exhausted and helpless with the guerrilla tactics of the Japanese pirates, they could only fight fire everywhere.
In the beginning, they fought a few victories. In the later period, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's troops hardly fought against the Japanese pirates.
Except for some of the Japanese pirates who ran a little slower and were killed by the two men, the large group of Japanese pirates had already gone to sea.
What is Wang Yang Xing Tan? This is Wang Yang Xing!
Seeing the Japanese pirates flaunting their might on the sea, the two of them had absolutely no way.
Yu Dayou had trained naval forces in Quanzhou, but... those small sampans can only serve as a detective role. Let's forget about naval battles with Japanese pirates. If the wind and waves are bigger, the ship will turn over!
Because of the guerrilla tactics of the Japanese pirates attacking from all sides, there was beacon smoke everywhere in the southeast coast. In addition to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, Japanese pirates are also everywhere along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Reports from various state capitals flew to the court like snow flakes. In the eyes of the leaders of the court, this is the growing trend of Japanese banditry.
The situation in the southeast urgently needs someone to take charge of the overall situation.
Elder Yan Ge has fallen, and Hu Zongxian, a member of the Yan Party, naturally no one mentions it.
The newly appointed Xu Gelao felt that the Japanese pirates came to slap her face on purpose. Lao Tzu finally became the first assistant, why did you come to make trouble?
I, Daming, still have a famous general who defeated the 100,000 Tatar army! Dare to give me face? I let Lu Li come to hit you!
Therefore, Mr. Xu Ge asked the Emperor Jiajing for an order, transferred Huating Hou Luli, and led the army to suppress the Japanese.
Since Lu Li's battle against Tatar in World War I, Chaozhong has been full of confidence in Lu Li's combat effectiveness.
No matter how powerful the Japanese pirates are, are they still more powerful than the Tatar 100,000 cavalry? As long as Huatinghou goes, it will blow you up in minutes.
Emperor Jiajing also thought that this was a good idea, so he reached out and knocked on the jade chime and passed the proposal.
An imperial edict flew, Lu Li received an edict from Ledjun Pingwo.
Today, Lu Li has 100,000 soldiers who have completed three months of military training. It's just that...the guns and ammunition are not complete yet!
Fortunately, so many people are not needed to fight against Japanese pirates.
Lu Li ordered the mobilization of 10,000 soldiers and horses and divided them into land and water.
The army that marched from the land was all cavalry, composed of Jinshanwei's old team.
This cavalry unit will wipe out Japanese pirates from the land.
Compared with the infantry, the cavalry is much faster and can be regarded as a rapid reaction force. When a warning comes, they can rush to the location of the incident as quickly as possible.
For the remaining five thousand army, Lu Li convened a transport fleet, escorted by three destroyers, and directly advanced by sea, becoming a Marine Corps.
...
Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.
Qi Jiguang led five thousand soldiers and horses in Linhai County to suppress the Japanese pirate Ye Mabu.
"The black army is here!" (Qi Jiguang's uniform was also provided by Lu Li)
Seeing Qi Jiguang lead his troops out, the Japanese pirates... turned around and ran.
"The whole army pursues!"
Qi Jiguang pointed at the fleeing Japanese pirate with a knife and roared.
"Di, di da da di di di..."
The loud charge horn sounded, and the five thousand army chanted "Kill", and chased after the fled Japanese pirates.
While chasing, raise the gun and shoot.
The "crackling" gunshot sounded, and the slow-running Japanese pirate screamed and fell to the ground.
However... all the way to the beach, the Japanese pirates have already boarded the ship into the sea.
The Japanese pirates were holding the small sampan, paddling desperately, and rushed towards the sea boat docked far from the shore.
"Fire!"
Qi Jiguang could only give an angry order and fired at the small sampan that was going away in the water.
Although many Japanese pirates were killed and wounded, most of them have successfully boarded the ship.
"Grass! Let them run away again!"
Qi Jiguang's eyes were angry.
To put down the Japanese pirates, it is not enough to have strong troops on land, but also to have warships at sea.
However, Qi Jiguang couldn't afford to do such a thing as shipbuilding. One has no authority, and the other has no money.
"Hahahaha!"
On the sea, the Japanese pirates who boarded the ship laughed wildly and provoked wildly at the Qi's army on the shore. Some even unbuckled their belts and peeed in the direction of the Qi's army.
This caused Qi's army to jump up and down one by one, but only suffocated.
"Look! General Qi, look!"
At this time, an instructor sent by Lu Li pointed to the distant sea and shouted in surprise.
Qi Jiguang quickly looked over ~EbookFREE.me~ and saw three strange boats without masts coming from afar with black smoke.
What is this stuff?
Qi Jiguang quickly raised the telescope and looked at the three strange ships.
In the telescope, a bright sun and moon flag hung high on the three strange ships.
This is my Daming ship?
"Zhenhai destroyer! This is Zhenhai destroyer! These Japanese pirates are over!"
The instructors in the army cheered one by one.
"Dudu..."
The high-pitched whistle sounded, and the three destroyers laid out the battle line and rushed toward the front of the Japanese pirate fleet.
A naval battle is about to break out!
