All the women present looked at Longze and Aoi with contempt.

In fact, everyone present had already known about the little things that happened between the two of them and Zhang Wuji. Even the carefree Zhu'er saw something, otherwise, she would never have said what she just said.

However, most women were soft-hearted. Seeing Longze and Aoi crying like that, the women present could not say anything.

Gong Yuyan said: "Okay, stop crying, it's wartime now, if you keep crying like this, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish.

After hearing this, Longze and Aoi stopped crying immediately.

At this critical moment, they didn't want to make Gong Yu or anyone else present feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that the two of them stopped crying, Gong Yu continued to ask them: "You said that Shanmen likes women, but apart from women, is he really useless?"

Long Zeyan said: "That's basically it. Aoi and I were both from the Sakura Pavilion in Japan before, and we know almost everything about the hobbies and abilities of all the officials in Japan."

"In this battle, as long as Your Majesty can maintain a stalemate with Yamamoto, Yamamoto's mentality will inevitably collapse within a few hours."

Gong Yu nodded; "Well, I believe what you say. If these Japanese officials are really a group of lustful people, it will be a good thing for our Ming Dynasty."

…

I don’t know why, but when Gong Yu mentioned the word "lecher", all the women present looked at Zhang Wuji. This made Zhang Wuji feel a little embarrassed.

"What do you mean? Why are you looking at me? Do you also think I'm a lecher?"

Yu Fei said with a smile: "Young Master, you have misunderstood. We were wondering why you, who rules the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, are such a secluded person, causing us sisters to become widows for nothing."

Yu Fei's words immediately made everyone present laugh. He had obviously been in a lot of trouble last night, and now he was saying things like being a widow. It was really shameless.

…

Zhang Wuji's treasure ship had always been sailing on a relatively safe route. At the very least, it was never within the range of the Japanese artillery fire.

However, even so, the rumbling sound of artillery could be heard in the distance.

Gong Yu whispered: "The fighting has already started."

Zhang Wuji and all the women present looked in the direction where the cannon fire came from.

The two armies had indeed engaged in combat where they were close to each other, and the sound of artillery fire was becoming more and more frequent, and it was obvious that more and more warships were involved in the battle.

Battles on water are different from those on land. On land, skill and courage often determine victory or defeat, but on water, that's not always the case. Skill is almost useless in such a place. No matter how skilled you are, you can't fight a warship alone. As for courage, it might be useful, but it only helps boost morale. So what good would courage do at this moment? Could he really charge his warship into the Japanese fleet?

Gong Yu turned around and looked at everyone present: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The situation in the battle just now was almost exactly as I expected."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Yu'er, there is no need to comfort me. I trust you. Today I am just watching the battle and watching you achieve success here."

…

Obviously, from this moment on, the war that concerns the destiny of the two countries has begun.

But to be more precise, the Ming Dynasty could afford to lose this battle. Over the years, no matter how lustful Zhang Wuji was, the country had developed from a small country on the top of Guangmingding to a vast country today. Although there were wins and losses, the Ming Dynasty was ultimately there. Even if the Ming navy was completely wiped out, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would never be shaken. But it was different on the Japanese side.

Japan is a small country. If it loses this naval battle, it will lose its barrier and will have to face the full-scale attack of the Ming army. Its small country has little strategic depth. As Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min said, once Japan suffers two or three major defeats, it will be in danger of being destroyed.

…

On the Japanese warship.

Let’s not talk about the fact that Yamamoto Ningji still looked confident of victory at this time, let’s just talk about Queen Chiba at this moment.

Chiba took a look and immediately discovered the disadvantages of his own fleet. In other words, he also immediately discovered the advantages of the Ming Dynasty navy.

"The cannons on the ships of the Ming Dynasty Navy can fire very far."

The guard at the side, Sakura, said: "That's true. No wonder Kojima Mitsuru's fleet suffered heavy losses a few days ago, while the Ming Dynasty's ships suffered no losses at all."

"If this is the case, won't we always be on the receiving end of beatings?"

Chiba also fell into deep thought, and after a moment he said: "Not entirely. Although the artillery on the Ming army's warships can fire far, no matter how useless Yamamoto is, he will probably come up with a countermeasure. Otherwise, why would he let his fleet rush so hard to get close to them."

"No matter how powerful the cannonballs are, they cannot sink a warship quickly. But if two ships collide, I'm afraid that in an instant, both will be destroyed."

After Sakura asked this, she first said, "Master, you are right," and then she said, "However, if Yamamoto really intends to trade one ship for another, I am afraid I will regret letting you get on this ship today."

Qianye was very surprised when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Xiaoying said: "The Pavilion Master is indeed extremely intelligent, but his only flaw is that he does not know what the lower-level soldiers are thinking, or perhaps what all the lower-level people are thinking."

"When the war begins, it is of course okay for the soldiers to fight desperately, but this fighting spirit should only be limited to everyone fighting bravely. Only in this way can everyone feel balanced."

"Yamamoto is the Grand Marshal of the Japanese Navy, but why did he let one-third of his warships fight one-on-one with the Ming Dynasty's warships? Is it just because he is the Grand Marshal? Or is it because he has the ability to control several women in one night?"

After hearing this, Qianye was stunned: "Yes, why should he do that?"

Xiaoying continued, "Master, I regret it. Let's not come."

Chiba thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "There is no need to regret. Since you are here, why think so much? Just make the best of it. The outcome is not something you and I can control. Who knows, Yamamoto may bring you and me a miracle."

"Even if we lose this battle, with your and my skills, we can find a piece of wood and swim back. We won't die, so there is nothing to worry about."
