Denglai Town, Dengzhou City.

Zhang Kentang in the Governor's yamen was full of red face.

He had just received the imperial edict on the Paixiang Case in the Governor's Office. Today, the son was very satisfied with the great victory of the Denglai Navy to defeat the Japanese pirates, and he issued the imperial edict to reward all the meritorious soldiers.

Of course, this list was handed over by Zhang Kentang. The emperor also expressed his full trust in Governor Denglai.

All those who Zhang Kentang report to the emperor will reward you.

Of course, the emperor also focused on rewarding, and the rewards for those soldiers with outstanding performance were particularly heavy, and high officials and generous salaries were no problem.

The most typical one is Zheng Chenggong.

The news that Fujian General Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Nan'an, secretly communicated with the Eastern Captains was reported.

Of course, this includes Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai.

Zhang Kentang was particularly special because at that time he had Zheng Zhilong's legitimate son Zheng Chenggong.

Although Zheng Chenggong had a low status among the Denglai Navy at that time, he was considered Zhang Kentang's subordinate after all. Zhang Kentang's statement seemed very critical.

Zhang Kentang thought about it and chose the safest way, which was to ask Zheng Chenggong to return to Nanjing.

After all, Zheng Chenggong was considered as a political observation during his time in Denglai and did not have a formal official position.

It was reasonable for Zhang Kentang to ask him to return to Nanjing.

Once Zheng Chenggong returned to Nanjing, the problem was thrown to the present.

What will happen to Zheng Chenggong's fate when Zi decides today? It has nothing to do with Zhang Kentang.

Facts proved that Zhang Kentang's choice was correct. After returning to Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong received the kind words of the son of the day as soon as possible, and returned to Dengzhou after a period of rest.

This time, Zheng Chenggong was like a different person, and he was even more determined when going out to sea to wipe out the Japanese pirates' nests because he brought the saint's order.

The emperor even gave him oral instructions to allow him to do things at a disadvantage.

The emperor naturally has to give face.

Zhang Kentang also gave Zheng Chenggong a lot of freedom and room for play.

Zheng Chenggong ordered the Denglai Navy to search the sea again and again, and returned in vain again and again.

But he was not angry, but continued to persevere.

Finally, his persistence received a reward and he discovered the "Bison Island".

The Bison Island is very far from Dengzhou, so it is difficult to find.

But Zheng Chenggong still discovered it.

He immediately discovered that Bison Island was the nest of a group of Japanese pirates.

Not only are these Japanese pirates' docking supply stations, but they are also their trading points.

In a word, Bison Island is an unforgettable private port.

Private ports were very common at that time.

The control of trade, especially sea trade, is very strict, including the mother country of the Japanese pirates. The entry threshold for sea trade is very high, and it is not something that anyone can do when they are eager to do it.

And maritime trade has huge benefits, and many people take risks and smuggling.

The most direct manifestation of smuggling to the Ming Dynasty was the proliferation of Japanese pirates.

At first, the officials of the Ming Dynasty believed that the Japanese pirates were all ronin warriors from Japan. But gradually they found that their views were wrong.

These Japanese pirates were mixed with a large number of fake Japanese. These fake Japanese were basically from the Ming Dynasty and were entangled with Japanese pirates for their benefit. Some of them were even the financial backers and sponsors of Japanese pirates, and they maintained a private fleet.

This situation improved after Zikai opened today, but it did not completely disappear.

Because the benefits hidden behind this are so great that people can't help but take risks for it.

This is the case with Bison Island.

According to the post-war screening of Zhang Kentang, more than 50% of the Japanese pirates on the Bison Island were fake Japanese. Although these Japanese pirates also had the same hairstyle and wore the same clothes, their figures were obviously tall and mighty, and they could be distinguished at a glance.

These fake Japanese are all servants of the coastal maritime merchants along the Denlai. Their main task is to transport smuggled goods to Bison Island for transactions.

After all, smuggling is shameless, and now the limelight is so tight, it is safe to choose an island hanging in the sea to trade.

This island is controlled by the real Japanese, and all pirates of this generation trade here.

There are all kinds of porcelain, tea, lacquer and silk.

Even the Japanese swords used by the Japanese Ransen and the folding fans used by the Daming people can be bought here.

Hundreds of large sea ships docked here, and cargoes were unloaded every day and then loaded with them.

All the rules here were formulated by the real Japanese and did not have to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

All this changed after Zheng Chenggong discovered the Bison Island.

Zhang Kentang naturally could not tolerate such behavior that provoked the Ming court.

He gave instructions as soon as possible and ordered the Denglai Navy to launch a fierce attack on the Bison Island.

The Denlai Navy has been training for so long, and it also needs a large-scale naval battle to test the training results.

For Zheng Chenggong, he needed this battle to prove his loyalty to the Ming court.

Attacking islands, especially islands with a complete defense system like Bison Island, is definitely not enough to rush forward with a slap in your head.

Before the attack, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Kentang discussed and planned a comprehensive offensive plan.

Of course, Zhang Kentang only proposed a general idea, and all the details were perfected by Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong decided to divide his troops to attack, and some ships went to attack Beidao, while the main force went to attack Nandao.

The North Island is a feint attack, and the South Island is a decisive battle.

It turns out that his strategy of division of troops has achieved miraculous results.

After discovering the Denlai Naval Division on the North Island, the Japanese pirates were completely attracted to their attention, so that the troops on the South Island were all drawn, and the main force of the Denlai Naval Division was able to easily land on the beach.

After landing, the navy officers and soldiers were not careless and steadily controlled the island's must-do.

By the time the Japanese pirates realized that they wanted to seek a decisive battle, they were already at a full disadvantage.

But they still refused to give up. After all, Bison Island is their long-running nest, and it makes them feel unwilling to give in.

So the Japanese pirates launched a series of fierce counterattacks.

But these counterattacks seemed to tickle in front of the fully armed naval officers and soldiers.

You should know that all the staff of the Denglai Navy are equipped with firearms made by the Firearms Department.

The rate of firearms in this army, which is the main force of the Shence Army, reaches a terrifying 70%.

Of course, the Japanese pirates also had firearms, but their firearms were really nothing in front of the Denglai Navy.

After a fight, the Japanese pirates suffered heavy casualties.

They knew that it was not their opponent who wanted to go out to sea to escape.

But when they fled to the port, they found that all the ships were controlled by the Ming army.

In desperation, they had to fight with all their might.

But the calm and moderate naval officers and soldiers did not give the Japanese pirates any chance. They gradually compressed the Japanese pirates' space and eventually strangled all these brutal Japanese pirates.

In order to prevent it, Zheng Chenggong ordered the navy officers and soldiers to investigate the entire island and kill all the fish that had missed the net.

This is the great victory of Wild Bison Island, a great victory for the great power of tomorrow!
