Being seen through by the Chinese ships would also be problematic. When the weather is calm at night,
dispatch boats, and if the location of the Chinese ships is known, muskets should be fired at them.
After all, loading with shot and firing near the ships would be effective.
One It is not necessarily the case that Chinese ships must be completely destroyed, so
approaching too closely where the ship's condition might be discerned is
inadvisable. Even without boarding strictly according to monthly duty schedules, it should be acceptable.
Roughly estimating and firing should be appropriate.
One After firing muskets, if Chinese ships rush out and retreat, they should be pursued
and fired upon to some extent. Long pursuits are unnecessary.
One When Chinese ships are sighted near islands or mountain promontories, cannons of one hundred monme or

larger should be set up and fired.
However, if the distance is too great, the trajectory will be off, and if it only
serves to intimidate the Chinese, that would be problematic, so beyond seventeen or eighteen chō should be avoided.
Moreover, even when firing from land, large cannons should be fired during daylight.
