Chapter 553: Barbed Wire (Page 1/1)

Allen led the Sea Shark fleet to attack the shipyards in the port of Yokosuka, and the shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu implemented a strategy of closing off the country in order to strengthen his rule over the Wakoku.

The Japanese were not allowed to do business with foreigners, and only in Nagasaki, a trading port, could they do business with the Ming and Dutch people.

All kinds of goods of the Ming Dynasty are synonymous with high-end goods in the Wa Kingdom, and the nobles of the Wa Kingdom have become accustomed to using the goods of the Ming Dynasty.

The Dutch were able to gain the favor of the shogunate because they did not preach in the Wa kingdom and would not shake the foundation of the shogunate's rule.

Secondly, Tokugawa Iemitsu's defeat in the naval battle made him realize the power of the large plywood ships, so on the condition that the Dutch people were willing to help the shogunate build the Galen warship, they were also qualified to trade with the Wakoku.

Yokosuka is located in Edo Bay, where the shipbuilding industry was somewhat weakened by the shogunate's lockdown decree.

However, an order from the general made it prosperous again, and with the help of the Dutch people built plywood ships, it was concentrated with shipbuilders from the Japanese kingdom.

They built three docks in Yokosuka, and three 280-ton warships were being built.

Just as the three Galen ships were about to be completed, Alan led his men to the port of Yokosuka. The killing of the Changxing army caught the Japanese people by surprise, and they did not expect that the Changxing army would break through the Puga waterway so quickly.

The battleship Galen, which was originally intended to be completed overtime, was blocked in the dock by the Changxing army, and almost no one from the shipyard escaped and was wiped out.

The large and small ships that stayed at the wharf became the means of transport for the Nagako army, and everything in Yokosuka Port was carried to the sea, and it was really impossible to move away from the fire.

The largely finished Galen ship was converted into a transport ship, and every inch of space on board was crammed with people.

3,000 Japanese craftsmen were driven to the sea ship, and many Japanese wept as they watched the burning Yokosuka.

The shipbuilders of Yokosuka Port and the various materials captured will be sent to Fresh Water in batches, where the second largest shipbuilding base for the Nagako Army will be built, and more and better warships will be built for the Nagako.

With these experienced shipbuilders, the shipyards in Tamsuy City were able to build a fleet of armed merchant ships for merchants. Zhang Dou's dream of great navigation will gradually come true, Zhang Dou believes that as long as the Chinese people are given a chance, the Chinese people will occupy the whole world.

Zhang Dou was also very excited when he boarded the Edowan wharf, and how many people in later generations had fantasized about acting recklessly here. Today, he did it, and Edo Castle, the capital of the later Wa Kingdom, must be left in the stench for 10,000 years.

Cheng Feng walked up to Zhang Dou and said respectfully: "Handsome! The 3,000 people of the death brigade have all landed, and the captain of the Takano brigade requests an immediate attack on Edo Castle, please ask the marshal for permission! ”

Zhang Dou didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Chengfeng!" What do you think? ”

Hearing Zhang Dou's question, Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was his father-in-law teaching him.

He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Father-in-law! The child felt that it was too early to attack Edo Castle at this time. First of all, we have just landed, and the soldiers have not yet recovered, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover. Secondly, Edo Castle has a population of 100,000.

If we attack rashly, we will be easily frustrated, but if we do not take Edo Castle, the blow to morale will be huge. In the end, the boy decided that it was not a good idea to attack the fortified city without artillery support. It was necessary to wait until the artillery landed, and then concentrate forces on breaking through Edo Castle. ”

Zhang Dou smiled and nodded, Cheng Feng can say this, which shows that he has used his brain. Instead of blindly obeying orders, he said at the moment: "Very good, pass on the order!" Beware of the sneak attack of the Japanese tonight, and attack the city tomorrow! ”

The Changxing Army was constantly busy at the Edo Bay wharf, knowing that it was late at night to unload people and some supplies to the shore.

The soldiers who landed the first to land set up a makeshift camp near the pier, and instead of building an ordinary barracks, the camp dug a ring of trenches around the pier. Many soldiers took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark, and they were busy fifty paces in front of the trenches.

Ma Jingbo looked at the busy soldiers, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the sky. said to Tao Lei beside him: "Brother Tao! This group of people is really funny, why do they have to make rows of trips? Just a few wooden stakes to hold the horses? You can't even stop people, isn't this fun! If you want me to say it! You have to cut down trees and build a camp to be safe! ”

"Shut up! This is the order of the commander, is it something you and I can speculate on? Look, there's a barb on that wire! Why can't you stop the war horse? Tao Lei reprimanded Ma Jingbo.

To be honest, he was also a little uninterested in barbed wire. also doubted the efficacy of the barbed wire, but out of absolute trust in the handsome Zhang Dou, he still resolutely carried out the order. In front of the trenches, three barbed wire fences were pulled in succession.

To say that this barbed wire bucket made the craftsmen ponder for more than a year to build, in order to pull out the iron wire of uniform thickness, almost wanted to break the head of the craftsman's door.

Zhang Dou will not forget the power of barbed wire in World War I and II, which almost discouraged the cavalry, and even the infantry was very difficult to pass through three barbed wires.

It was here in Edo Bay that Zhang Dou tried to use barbed wire for the first time, and he believed that if the Japanese came to attack the Changxing army, they would definitely taste the first great gift.

In Edo Castle, Tokugawa Tadanaga, who had lost one of his legs, was half-lying on a couch. His heart was filled with resentment, and the defeat of Edowan almost drove him to the edge of a cliff.

If he can't defeat the pirates, he won't have the face to live in this world. Even if he could defend Edo Castle, he would not be able to escape his nephew's punishment.

He scanned the samurai kneeling in front of him back and forth with his eagle-like eyes and said, "Pirates are rampant, and they dare to land in Edo Bay. Their goal is obvious, it is Edo Castle!

If I can't wipe out the pirates and wash away the shame, I will be the first to ask the general for guilt. As for you...... Hum!! Tokugawa Tadanaga snorted coldly twice, looking at the generals below and not speaking.

The samurai below all bowed their heads and remained silent, and they all saw the battle during the day. The pirate's artillery fire is not something that Wu Yong can compensate for, and no one has wiped out all of my pirates at this time.

Just when Tokugawa Tadanaga was about to lose his patience, one of the people at the back knelt down a few steps and kowtowed, saying, "Lord Shogun! Pirates were rampant, and they camped on the docks without building a camp. Sato Konzo is willing to lead a thousand people to rob the camp, and if he can't win, he is willing to come and see him! ”

"Good! Sato, you're very good, I'll give you another thousand. Be sure to beat it hard, I'll set up a celebration wine in Edo Castle and wait for you to come back. Tokugawa Tadanaga said happily.

"Will I die for the Lord's house!"

Watching Sato Konzo leave, Tokugawa Tadanaga's eyes flashed with an unbelievable light.
