    "Hey, don't be limited in your thinking." Mr. Zhao stood on the bow of the boat and pointed to Jiang Shan with high spirits: "The conditions of this bay itself are very good. We might as well build an artificial dam based on the natural offshore dam to  The lagoon becomes a closed inner lake. Then build a breakwater outside the artificial dam as a dock, so that ships can dock outside the lagoon without having to worry about bow or stern heeling."

    "This also has a great advantage. After the lagoon is isolated from the sea water, it can be protected from the backflow of salt tide and become a real freshwater lake. The plains on both sides can be fully utilized." After a pause, Zhao Hao continued  He smiled and said: "It's not a big project, and it's not difficult. You should be able to handle it yourself. Once it's completed, you'll definitely make a huge profit."

    "Oh, you really kill two birds with one stone, you are so awesome!" Yan Wu said with admiration on his face: "Then Mayor Sun must be very happy, he is almost worried to death because of the salty tide."

    "Hey, why didn't Sun Dawu come?" Zhao Hao then remembered that he had sent his domestic slave Sun Dawu as the mayor.

    "Hey, don't mention it, he is very seasick." Yan Wu explained for him with a smile.

    "That's it." Mr. Zhao thought to himself, then how did he get here?

    ??~~

    The fleet slowly sailed into the lagoon, Mr. Zhao stood on the bow, and saw that the lake was probably tens of thousands of acres, very vast.  The lakes and mountains are very beautiful. Three large rivers flow down from the two major mountain ranges in the north and south, and continuously flow into the lagoon. This allows the lagoon to resist the invasion of seawater and keep the lake water in a fresh state.

    But Yanwu told him that when there is insufficient fresh water injection during the dry season in winter, seawater intrusion will occur during high tide.  Especially during astronomical spring tides, this so-called salt tide is particularly serious, causing great harm to people and animals along the coast, as well as to agriculture and fisheries.

    Mr. Zhao nodded to express his understanding. He was very confident in his method, because this is what the Japanese did

    At one o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the fleet docked at the Marine Police Station pier on the south bank of the lagoon.

    On the pier, colorful flags were fluttering and gongs and drums roared. There were probably nearly ten thousand people coming to welcome Mr. Zhao¡¯s arrival.

    Mr. Zhao was really excited. He had never seen so many people since leaving the security area.

    But this is normal, because there is no need to implement the Iwami Ginzan strategy, so the main focus of the security area is on the 'Sado Island strategy'.

    Before that, the garrison area had successively occupied four Japanese islands, but the model adopted was to order the islanders to move away after convincing the local daimyo, so that they did not have to dirty their hands or touch the  Cause and effect, naturally relaxed and happy.

    But the situation on Sado Island is different. It is similar to a small independent kingdom. Although it is nominally subordinate to Uesugi Kenshin on the other side, it is not restricted by any force due to various historical reasons.

    Because the Honma family who occupied the island once took in Uesugi Kenshin's father and the defeated Echigo guardian Nagao Mikae, and sent troops to Echigo country to help Nagao Mikae.

    In the end, Nagao Weijing defeated the Kwantung army and successfully defeated the enemy.  Because the Honma family helped in the war, Nagao Mikake also rewarded them with the territory of Echigo.  Because of this relationship, Nagao Kagetora's son, the current Kanto leader, Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo, has always treated them with courtesy and has not recruited them to fight. The two sides only maintain a nominal master-slave relationship.

    ¡°Obviously, it is impossible to use Uesugi Kenshin¡¯s hand to remove the Honma clan on the island.  Moreover, the Dragon of Echigo, who is known as the 'God of War', is not comparable to those miscellaneous fish in Kyushu Island, and even the Maori family is far behind.  Mr. Zhao wanted to force him to bow his head, unless he also took his son as a hostage.

    But Sister Uesugi doesn¡¯t have any children Mr. Zhao needs to practice his inner strength for another ten years if he wants to dominate the world.

    Fortunately, humans are inferior animals. Without external threats, they will fall into internal fighting.  The total number of men, women, and children on Sado Island was less than 20,000, but they were divided into three factions and fought endlessly.

    First, the two branch families attacked the main family. After the main family was crippled, a civil war broke out between the two branch families. This time it was directly like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Of course, sister Uesugi from the other side of the river also contributed a lot to this situation.  She would always send people across the sea to mediate when a certain family was about to be killed, or when a certain family was about to win completely. The purpose was to maintain the balance of power between the three families, so that these arrogant guys would continue to lose blood and eventually die.

    For this reason, she also instructed the Honma tribe who moved to the Noto Peninsula, and constantly lured the same tribe on the island to settle ashore. In this two-pronged approach, she finally succeeded in reducing the island's population from 60,000 60 years ago to less than 20,000.  .

    Therefore, the "Sado Island Strategy" can be successfully completed, I really want to thank Uesugi Kenshin.

    The strategy plan is actually very simple, that is, let Nizi's Tango navy retreat to Sado Island, and then the task force pretends to be pursuers and pursue them to Mano Bay, first burning all the ships parked at the dock.Then began to bombard Wadahara Castle.

    The Japanese always like to build cities by the sea, and most of the ¡®stone walls¡¯, that is, stone city walls, adopt a ¡®rock pile¡¯ structure.  The name seems to be of a consistently high standard, but in fact it is just a pile of rubble built haphazardly against the mountain.

    How bad is this ¡®rock accumulation¡¯?  Whether it's a catapult or ordinary soldiers, they can pull this pile of rubble out of the mountain.  Even if you leave it alone, it will collapse on its own over time.

    Of course, rich daimyo would use cut stones to pile up walls, which was much better than "rock piles". At least it could withstand attacks from bows, arrows and projectiles, and it couldn't be easily demolished, but it was still vulnerable to cannons.  .

    However, Japan does not have artillery. With their thieves' character, they will naturally find ways to cut corners and build the city just enough to not be breached by the current weapons. How can they design redundancy?  waste!

    But then again, people don¡¯t have the city-building technology of the Ming Dynasty, and they are poor, and the poor are only as poor as money.  We can only use this cheap city building method to build as complex a maze-like three-dimensional defenses as possible.  Even if the attackers enter the city, they still have to face twists and turns and endless crossfire, and eventually die from exhaustion in street fighting.

    So we can¡¯t say that this design idea is wrong. What¡¯s wrong is that the Ming Dynasty¡¯s fleet did not respect martial ethics and did not attack the city physically. It only used artillery to attack from a distance.

    How could these simple castles made of large and small volcanic rocks withstand the bombardment of Yongle cannons? After several rounds of volleys, they collapsed and collapsed. Naturally, all the Ashigaru who were on guard at the top of the city fell to death.  I don¡¯t know how many people were killed in the city

    The improved version of the Oda City rocket dragged beautiful tail flames and set fires everywhere in the city, burning Kawarada City into a hell on earth.

    There were thousands of people in total with the Tahara clan. They were completely frightened by this terrifying offensive. How could they even think of fighting back?  The owner who had his head smashed quickly sent someone to work and explained that you had attacked the wrong person. That group of unknown sailors had gone to Zatai City in the south.

    So, the task force turned to the south and bombarded the Honma clan's Zatai Castle, burning all the ships

    The Honma family was already struggling to survive under the attack of the two branch families, and they had no courage to settle accounts with the Chinese fleet that was blocking the sky. They could only send people to tell them that they had withdrawn and went to Xiaomuwan in Yumao City  ¡­

    As a result, the Honma Hamo family also suffered a murderous attack.  And because they received the news in advance and organized about twenty boats and fishing boats to go out to sea to resist, they suffered the most losses.  Not only were all the ships sunk, but the thousands of men who fought were either fed to the bastards or taken prisoner.

    Coupled with the damage caused during the bombardment of Yumao City, almost half of the men of the Yumao family were killed. It was also freezing cold at the time, and there was only a dead end for escaping into the mountains. The master had no choice but to open the city and surrender, offering an eagle to surrender.

    The task force used the reason that the islands here were easy for Japanese pirates to exploit, and ordered them to be naturalized and relocated to Tamna Island.

    The Yumao family was already a piece of meat on the chopping block. They could only board the transport ship heading south under the surveillance of two thousand fully armed marines.

    Then the fleet withdrew

    But the agency¡¯s eyes and ears never left Sado Island.

    As expected by the staff office, without the check and balance of the Hamo family, a fierce war soon broke out between the remaining two families. The main family, which had been bullied by the two branch families, immediately launched an attack on the Wadahara family whose castle was severely damaged.  Blitz.

    At this time, there are only ten days before the task force withdraws.

    There is no other way. The cities of the two sides are only fifteen miles apart. From a high place, you can see the misery of the other side. It is difficult not to take action.

    As a result, the two sides started a fierce fight in Wadahara. As a result, the outnumbered clan won a tragic victory, captured Wadahara Castle, expelled the Wadahara clan to the Noto Peninsula, and reunified Sado.

    Unexpectedly, not long after, the task force actually left and returned under the pretext of avenging the Wadahara family In fact, they just went to Zhenyuan Island, where they completed the cleanup of the entire island and quickly built a simple dock.  Make some preliminary preparations for the soon-to-be-established Zhenyuan Island Marine Police Station.

    "The Honma family has killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. Their vitality has been severely damaged. How can they still have any fighting spirit when they see the terrifying demon king return?"  The governor could only open the city and surrender to express his surrender.

    When the security area also issued a ¡®Wasteland Immigration Order¡¯ to them, the Honma family was completely dumbfounded.  Only then did they understand that the three families had fallen into their plans step by step.  But it's too late to understand. Now there is no helper, and I am still half disabled. How can I withstand the elites of the Ming Dynasty who are armed to the teeth?

    And the Wadahara family also became the servant army of the Ming Dynasty fleet.  If they resisted, the Wadahara family would definitely encourage the people of Tianchao to kill them all.

    The elders had no choice but to comfort themselves. It is said that Xingang is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now we have become masters. It is better than being savages on this island.  Therefore, the forces that the Ming Dynasty recruited to surrender to the Celestial Power Circle came with their own super hegemony

    So the Honma clan obediently boarded the transport ship in the garrison area with their young and old under the supervision of the Marine Corps, and bid farewell to the newly unified Sado Island with tears.

    Of course, there are also many people who cannot leave their hometown and have fled into the mountains. I can only hope that they can survive the cold winter of Little Glacier (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The Chinese people killed them all.
