Starting from the port of Dagu in Tianjin, the fleet sailed all the way around the Bohai Sea to Liugong Island in Weihai, Shandong, and doubled in size after a slight replenishment at the Beiyang Naval Division Base.

Zhu Cihong was very interested in Liu Hongji, and directly assigned the Invincible, the only five second-class battleships of the Ming Dynasty, to Liu Hongji's Daqin fleet as the flagship.

In addition, there are ten main warships, twenty other ironclad ships, and eighteen wartime auxiliary ships, which is almost one-third of the combat power of all naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in addition to the battleships and ammunition equipment, all the sailors and marines were temporarily borrowed by Daqin, but Zhu Cihong and the others knew that this was just to appease the soldiers, as for what choice these soldiers would make after three years, whether to return to Daming to serve, or continue to stay in Daqin, it was all up to them to decide.

After setting sail again from Liugong Island, the fleet consisted of more than 80 ships, including battleships, baggage ships, and troop carriers, totaling more than 64,000 soldiers, craftsmen, workers, and scholars.

Only nineteen days later, the fleet arrived in Nagasaki, and after leaving behind a detachment, the fleet went all the way north, and after leaving another detachment at Shimane Castle, Liu Honggradually landed at Daii.

Zheng Lin took the commander of the Great Qin Naval Division and was responsible for blocking the coastline, and it is worth mentioning that Liu Hongjian specially recruited Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin and other five people from the Daming Maritime Affairs Patrol Division.

These five pirate-born sailor generals have been doing errands similar to those of the coast guard in later generations, and they are worried that heroes are useless, so they simply agreed to Liu Hongji's invitation, in Liu Hongji's opinion, pirate-born generals are more suitable for his Daqin.

Isn't there a Europa who sells arms to the Japanese people without permission, come on, come on, come and rob you of a wave, he wants to be the first ruthless man in Daqin, or an unreasonable ruthless man.

Anyway, if something happens, Da Ming will stand on it, he doesn't believe that Xiao Zhu will not come to help, he has been busy for Da Ming for all these years, and now he can finally work for himself, by the way, he will pick up Xiao Zhu's wool.

After careful consideration, Liu Hong gradually set the capital in Kyoto, and the architectural style of Kyoto followed the Tang style, which was basically a copycat of Chang'an City in a one-to-one ratio, and even the name of the street did not change, which made Liu Hong gradually have an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Liu Hongchuan's palace was built on the site of the Imperial Palace of the Emperor Johara in Kyoto, but the construction progress of the palace has been slow due to the unrest of the Japanese people in various places, and the arrival of Ming craftsmen undoubtedly gave the overstretched Janissaries a boost.

In the next ten days, Liu Hong gradually assigned Han Yu to supervise internal affairs, Gu Jia to supervise a series of construction projects such as palaces and schools, and he himself planned to make waves on his own territory.

Not convinced, huh? Playing rebellion, right? Then let's fight, if Lao Tzu is still soft-hearted, he is not a descendant of Huaxia, Liu Hong gradually rode on his war horse and looked at Edo Castle not far away.

Among the many rebel armies, Michiya Sakata, who occupied Bandong Castle, was the most powerful, and many Japanese guerrillas were gradually moving closer to Bandong Castle, amassing 60,000 troops.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Liu Honggradually planned to use thunderbolt means to let the rebels understand who is the master of this land.

"Ergouzi, this king gives you two hours to raze this city to the ground, can you do it?" Liu Hong gradually turned his head to Sun Wen, the new commander of the artillery battalion.

Sun Wenfa is a general of the firearms battalion of the Ming Praetorian Guard, and he is also the deputy and disciple of Kong Erzi, and he has won the true biography of Kong Erzi in the use of firearms.

Kong Erzi was listed as a non-requisitionable talent by the Ming General Staff Headquarters because of his outstanding ability in previous battles, and Kong Erzi was stunned and sent his right-hand man Sun Wenfa to Daqin.

Liu Hong gradually didn't care about this, he could cultivate a Kong Erzi, how could he not cultivate Zhang Erzi and Li Erzi.

Sun Ergouzi didn't have this nickname originally, but Liu Hong gradually changed his name when he was appointed as the commander of the firearms battalion, for no other reason, and he called Shunkou.

"Lord, do you want to use all the artillery?" Sun Wenfa did not directly answer Liu Hongji's question, but stared at the city wall and licked his dry lips.

"Whatever you want." Liu Hong said calmly.

"Within two hours, if you can't do it, let the prince dispose of it!" Sun Wenfa immediately showed a greedy gaze, which was almost the same as Kong Erzi's expression before the siege.

As early as when the army had not stopped, Sun Wenfa held a telescope and looked at Bandong City for a long time, he knew that with the prince's temperament, the siege of the city must rely on firearms, and artillery will always be the treasure of the prince.

The reason why he dared to promise Liu Hongjian so confidently was because he had more artillery under his control than in any war that Liu Hongjian commanded.

Among them, there are 160 howitzers and 400 mortars, and the shells are enough to support the number of three wars of destruction of the Rakshasa country, and they are still being transported from Daming.

Liu Hongjian ordered the artillery battalion to attack, and on the other hand, he ordered the musketeers to cover left and right, and at the same time, more than 10,000 cavalry divided into four roads to surround Bandong City.

A quarter of an hour later, hundreds of artillery pieces were deployed at the four gates of Bandong Castle at the same time, and Liu Hongjian rejected Sakata Michiya's request for negotiation, and ordered 160 artillery pieces to be fired at the same time, and the long-lost shelling sound immediately sounded around Bandong Castle.

Boom - Boom - Boom Boom -

Liu Hong gradually watched the wall that was not solid peeling off piece by piece, and watched the battlements disappear like papier-mâché, at this moment he seemed to travel through time and space and returned to the land of China two hundred and eighty-seven years later.

There was no pity in his heart, whether out of understanding the nature of the Japanese people, or out of resentment for the 30 million heroic souls, he only knew that this nation needed to be dismantled, this nation needed to be transformed.

Three quarters of an hour later, the eastern wall was the first to collapse, and the beleaguered Japanese samurai charged at the nearest artillery position, either on horseback or with their swords raised.

But they did not expect that they would be greeted only by death darker than darkness, and a hundred mortars on the east side had been waiting for a long time, and the dense mortar shells billowed smoke and dust from the city wall to the artillery position.

The remnants of the Japanese samurai then rushed into a more dense nightmare of grenades and musketeers, and the Japanese people, who were not even equipped with firearms, declared their loyalty to the emperor and the shogunate in blood.

The howitzers were still roaring, because Liu Hongji's order was to raze the city to the ground, not just break it.

Two quarters of an hour later, a white flag was erected on the remaining city wall, but it was quickly broken by snipers such as Yang Tianbao, and the generals such as Chang Yu and Yang Tianbao did not understand why Liu Hong gradually resented the Japanese people, but they chose to remain silent with interest.

As the sun set, the fiery red clouds dyed the earth red, and the deafening shelling stopped at some point, and at that time, Bandong City had already fallen into a sea of fire, oh no, Bandong City had completely disappeared from the land of Daqin.

"My lord, I am glad that my humble duty is not dishonored! Lord Lu asked for instructions on whether to enter the city to clean up. The excited Sun Erzi gradually returned to Liu Hong.

"Let it burn, order the firehead soldiers to bury the pot and cook, and the rest of the guerrilla generals and above will come to my big tent to discuss tomorrow's march plan."

There are more than a dozen rebels, and the battle to clear them will likely last a year or more.

But Liu Hongjian was not impatient at all, he had a well-equipped army, and a large and powerful Ming Dynasty as a strong backing.

It will take him ten years to transform this small land and the Japanese people on it into people loyal to the Han nation and his people.

What's more, he's still so young.
