The gun emplacements of the flagship of the 'Liaodong' are finally fully loaded, and there are 65 guns, and such firepower should be invincible in Asia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The eleven captured warships were also equipped with at least eight copper-core iron cannons, and a dozen warships about the size of horse-boats were also somewhat forced, and the small copper cannons on them fired three times as many projectiles as the gun-lifting projectiles, which should have been more than half a pound, and the range was more than fifty paces away.

These ships were nimble and could be used against enemy ships that tried to set fire to large war ships. The small warship still has some attack power, and Huang Shengzhi does not pay attention to combat effectiveness, but to pomp.

This time, I came to Japan to do business and earn money, and to buy copper, sulfur, nitrate, lead, and other materials. It's not that I'm not going to come to the Japanese general to find it unpleasant, and there is no possibility of war with Japan.

Just kidding, today's Daming is too fragile, and while dealing with Jiannu, he also has to deal with the constant anti-thieves, how can Huang Sheng give Daming another strong enemy?

At this time in history, the Japanese general Zhengyi had only just controlled the situation in Japan, and there were many Japanese daimyo who were not willing to give up, and the Japanese imperial family who was set up by him could not be ignored, presumably he did not dare to start a war with the powerful Ming easily.

The invasion of Korea by the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime ended in a fiasco for the Japanese, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to replace the Toyotomi Hideyoshi family to steal the supreme power of Japan, which was inseparable from the intervention of the Ming Dynasty in the Korean War.

In the crisp autumn weather, Huang Sheng set off with a fleet to Tokyo Bay in the later generations of Edo Bay, with as many as 200 warships and merchant ships and no less than 10,000 soldiers.

The Ming Dynasty came here for trade, but trade shouldn't bring so many warships to the gate of others!

There is a reason for this, Huang Sheng has long forged a document issued in the name of the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to a note, the content of which is to accuse the Japanese general of Zhengyi of allowing pirates to run rampant, resulting in the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships being attacked many times, and many Ming people died at sea.

The Ming Dynasty of the Celestial Empire is tolerable or unbearable, and at any cost, he traveled thousands of miles to work on an expedition, in order to achieve the national prestige of the Yang Heavenly Dynasty.

This time, the Ming Dynasty sent Huang Sheng, the first general under the command of the British Minister, to march eastward with the purpose of exterminating the pirates on the route, and the other was to send a note to the Japanese general to restrain his own army and civilians, and not to secretly raise cowards.

When such a large contingent approached Edo, the Japanese side had already received an early report, Tokugawa Iemitsu was shocked, and Edo Bay was suddenly in turmoil, all the sailors and gunners were on high alert, and the army was also gathering in Edo day and night.

Tokugawa Iemitsu really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would send warships to attack Edo directly, he was puzzled, he finally stabilized the situation in Japan, there were still many detached daimyo who needed to be slowly mapped, and there were many nearby islands that were not included in the territory.

At this time, if you start a war with the powerful Da Ming, you will have to peel off your skin whether you win or lose! If your own strength is damaged, all your efforts will be in vain!

At that time, the emperor would take the opportunity to take back the imperial power, and once his family lost power, how cruel would the waiting revenge be?

There is no warlord regime that is not bloody, and the rise of the Tokugawa family is no exception, once the deterrence of overwhelming force is lost, it is very possible that the Tokugawa family will be exterminated!

When the incident happened suddenly, the general of Seiyi was busy dispatching troops, and the daimyo from all over the country sent people to Edo to prepare for King Qin. The Tokugawa family was shocked, and the large army of the foreign domain entered Edo, did they come to fight the enemy or prepare to fight the Tokugawa family?

He knew that there was no daimyo of a foreign domain who did not covet the power of the Tokugawa family, and once there was an opportunity to defeat the Tokugawa family, those foreign domains would share a lot of territory and benefits.

He hurriedly arranged for the deployment of Edo, and everything was carried out according to the state of emergency, and Edo Castle was immediately under martial law, and strict curfew was imposed at night, and all troops from the foreign domain who came to reinforce the city were not allowed to enter the city, and they had to camp in the designated place, otherwise they would all be punished as treason.

The Ming army formed a formation two nautical miles from the port of Edo, with a huge flagship in the center, more than 200 ships waving their flags, and all the warships of the Japanese naval division in Edo Bay were not to be outdone, and they were also waiting for the battle with their backs to the port.

The flagship of the 'Liaodong' first fired three rounds with the bow gun, of course, not at the Japanese warship that could already be hit, but at the maximum elevation angle, bombarding a small hill five miles away, and Huang Sheng did not know if there was anyone there.

This kind of style is to show the range of their own cannons, and they use flowering shells to show the lethality of our army's shells.

After the performance of the three rounds of the ship's first guns, the 'Liaodong' crossed the ship, and the 30 smoothbore guns on the starboard side fired three rounds in a row at the fastest speed, and then turned around and the 30 smoothbore guns on the port side did the same.

The officers and men on the Japanese naval warships were stunned, although they were the national army with extraordinary knowledge, they had never seen a big war ship with such sharp artillery fire!

This is not over, more than a dozen Daming warships sailed towards the top of the mountain, shooting while moving forward and returning to the Daming warship array, the mountain was already burning.

The officers and men of the Japanese naval division were even more frightened, their warships could not fight so far with their artillery fire, if they started a war with the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't they be unable to fight just by being beaten, and the batteries would not be able to withstand such artillery fire!

The Japanese side did not have a warship to advance against the Ming army's array, they all watched the Ming army's performance nervously, and after the rumbling cannon, a No. 2 Fu ship without artillery in the Ming army's array came out of the crowd and slowly moved towards the Japanese warship.

Several Ming officials stood in the wind, they were Huang Dongshan, Li Guozhu, Shang Muming, Bian Zhiming, Liu Guozheng, and the entourage was two small flag musketeers and Huang Sheng's personal army plus Mr. Li Ximing, the Luzon bookkeeper.

Li Guozhu, Shang Muming, and Bian Zhiming don't have official uniforms, it doesn't matter, Huang Sheng's command has more than 20 military attaches of the sixth and fifth grades, and they found a few suitable ones to lend them to wear.

The muzzles of the Japanese warships were invariably facing the oncoming Daming No. 2 fortune ship, only to see that the ship approached in a hurry, and someone on board said loudly in Japanese: "The Daming sailors are not here to meet with friendly soldiers with a strip of water, but to come with a peace mission, I hope you will not misunderstand." ”

Now that the show is over, it's time to get to the bottom of each other.

The Japanese did not harbor bad intentions towards the No. 2 fortune ship sent by Huang Sheng, but came up to greet the two generals, and the warship sent by the Japanese side sailed to the port.

Soon the document issued in the name of the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty was handed over to Tokugawa Iemitsu, who understood the meaning of the Ming Dynasty through the translation, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It didn't take long for Japan to also come to the array of unarmed merchant ships to approach the Ming warship array, and their task was to accept the Japanese pirates captured by the Ming Dynasty, which was too humiliating, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious.

These bastards burned, killed and looted, and were defeated and captured by the Daming sailors who came all the way, and now the evidence is conclusive, and they don't admit that there are Japanese gangs to rob the Ming merchant ships and kill the Ming people.

The bad Huang Sheng came to slap the face of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the captured Japanese ronin and all the Japanese slaves, including no less than a thousand men, were all returned to the Japanese government as pirates, and see how they argued and saw how they dealt with it?
