Kouichiro is a group of pirates active in the Fukuoka area. Due to their geographical location, they plunder the Koreans.
But ever since he learned that people from Da Qi had landed in Nagasaki and started trade, making the locals earn a lot of money, Kouichiro has set his sights on Da Qi's territory.
The pirates said they didn't know. In this small piece of land, plundering Da Qi was the most profitable thing to do. The others were like picking up scraps and were meaningless.
His dream was to one day bring his ships and men to land in Da Qi, and burn, kill, and loot there.
There was no chance before, as their ships and supplies did not support them in completing this operation.
But now it’s different. The people from Da Qi have actually come to our door. What are we waiting for?
So after some discussion, Ichiro Koinoo sent his men to investigate the target location.
The investigators dressed up as peddlers and hung around the docks for the past two days. They soon got a general idea of the surrounding situation.
When he returned to Fukuoka, the first thing he said when he saw Ichiro Koinoo was "very fat"!
The peddler described in detail what he had seen and heard, leaving the pirates stunned.
There were bundles of discarded silk, fine wine piled up in the open air, all kinds of exquisite porcelain, and various precious treasures.
In short, just one word: fat!
If they could take over Nagasaki Port, they would definitely become very rich and become the richest pirates in the whole of Japan!
In that case, what are you waiting for? Take action now!
The peddler not only found out how rich Nagasaki Port was today, but also found out the number of defenders in Nagasaki Port.
"Three thousand! They only have three thousand! Although we don't have enough manpower, we can cooperate with other pirates. Even the local daimyo should be interested and might send troops to support us."
The peddler spoke with certainty and looked very excited.
In his opinion, piling so much wealth on the dock was tempting them to commit crimes, and it was all the fault of the people of Da Qi!
Moreover, Da Qi is 18,000 miles away from here, and they have to travel by water. Even if something happens here, they will have to wait a long time if they want support.
This time is enough for them to transfer and digest the dirt.
When the people from Da Qi arrived, all they had left was a dilapidated port. Let's see what they could do.
Koinichiro also thought that this matter was very promising. He patted the peddler on the shoulder and asked him to go down and rest, then hurriedly began to write letters to some pirates he was familiar with.
In order to take over Nagasaki Port, he even used some connections to contact some daimyos.
In this way, in the shortest time, a team of 5,000 people was assembled.
It was also the first time for Koinichiro to fight with so many people, and he was suddenly filled with heroic spirit.
If these 5,000 people were all his subordinates, then he would have the confidence to sweep away certain daimyo and become the local daimyo himself.
Five thousand people boarded ships and, under the cover of darkness, quietly approached Nagasaki Port.
The prosperity of Nagasaki Port has exceeded their imagination. The people of Daqi renovated the infrastructure of Nagasaki Port in just a few months.
Today's Nagasaki Port is no longer the shabby little fishing village it once was. It now has the prototype of a large port.
At the same time, Nagasaki Port was also very busy. Even at night, the entire Nagasaki Port was brightly lit, and many porters were moving goods.
Everyone was shouting slogans and singing songs, and they didn't feel tired or dissatisfied at all because of working overtime.
In the evening, Da Qi paid double wages and it was piece-rate. This was because a famous person was in a hurry to get certain goods, otherwise such a good job would not come along every day.
Some people even made an appointment to have a couple of drinks after work while transporting goods. After making so much money tonight, they really should reward themselves.
Koinichiro and his men were close enough to hear their conversation.
One of the pirates wiped his mouth and said, "Damn, even these lowly porters have money to drink. It seems this place is really rich!"
"Everyone, be quiet and row your boat over quickly. As long as we can get on board, we'll win."
Five thousand versus three thousand, the advantage is on my side!
But just when these people were about to get close, they suddenly heard a melodious horn sound coming from the Da Qi ship.
Then with a whoosh, a ball of light rose into the air, instantly illuminating the waters where the Da Qi fleet was located as bright as day.
Ichiro Koinu and the people around him realized with horror a terrible fact - the ships of Da Qi had quietly completed the adjustment of their posture without them knowing when!
The fleet that had originally seemed harmless and docked far away now looked like a group of ferocious beasts with bared fangs, pointing countless black cannon muzzles at them ferociously.
These gun muzzles were like the eyes of the god of death, staring coldly and mercilessly at Ichiro Kou and his group, as if they were about to spew out flames of anger that would destroy everything in the next moment.
Faced with such a horrifying scene, Kouichiro and the others were filled with despair and helplessness. They knew that they were in a desperate situation and there was no possibility of escape.
There was a loud "bang", like a bolt from the blue, and a dazzling fire suddenly shot out from the muzzle of the first cannon.
The fire was like a roaring fire dragon, rushing towards the distance with bared fangs and claws.
Immediately afterwards, as if receiving a mysterious command, the rest of the cannons were not to be outdone, and almost at the same time they all spewed out blazing flames.
For a moment, countless flames intertwined together to form a gorgeous and spectacular sea of fire.
The Nagasaki Port, which had originally seemed a little dim, was suddenly illuminated by the surging flames as bright as day, and the sky was bright.
The entire port was shrouded in this blazing light, and everything became clearly visible.
The sea surface was sparkling, and ripples reflecting the firelight continued to spread out; the buildings, ships and people on the shore were all bathed in this dazzling light, presenting a shocking scene.
A salvo of hundreds of cannons, even if they were not shrapnel shells, would be enough to destroy the pirates' small boats.
In an instant, countless pirates fell into the water, and countless ships were smashed to pieces by cannons.
Koinichiro's eyes were red, and he didn't bother to think about why he and his group were discovered in advance.
He drew the long sword from his waist and said, "Follow me! Charge onto the ship and fight them. This is the only way to survive! Warriors, go and take the treasure that belongs to you!"
