Chapter 917: The Nanotsu Incident

"Fight first, then draw?"

The samurai exclaimed in unison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yamada Nobunaga picked up the tea on the low table and took a sip gently, feeling the elegant fragrance of the tea, for a long time, he explained: "If you don't fight, you will sue for peace, and the other daimyo will inevitably ask me for being cowardly, but if they fight and lose, they will have nothing to say, and then they can see clearly the disparity in strength between the Japanese and the Great Chongqing, of course, if they win, then there is no need to worry." “

After a pause, he continued: "As for seeking peace, it is a strategy to lie down and try to be brave, the naval division of the Great Yu Kingdom is too large, our warships are not its opponents at all, and the land where we grew up is surrounded by the sea, if there is no foreign trade, it will never be able to develop, not to mention that there are the Dutch first, then the British, and now the Great Chongqing State, so it shows that we have been left behind by them in weapons, if we don't want to forge ahead, the future result will be like Goryeo, If we can exchange temporary humiliation for the industrial efforts of the Great Chongqing State, it is still worth it, after all, we still paid tribute to the Great Chongqing State every year decades ago. “

"Daimyo, I'm afraid that the purpose of the Great Yu Kingdom this time is to prepare to annex us, not like the previous punishment, since the prince named Xiao Ming became the emperor, the Great Yu Kingdom has still changed its general appearance." A samurai in his mid-thirties said worriedly.

Yamada Nobunaga looked at the samurai who spoke, this was the most trusted samurai around him, named Hideyoshi Sato, who had a flexible mind and a keen sense of intrigue.

It was with his assistance that he was able to have today's status, and Sato Hideyoshi was originally from the Sato family and was the eldest son of the domestic Sato daimyo.

"So this time we have to show the belief that we are determined to crush together with the Great Chongqing Kingdom, unlike Goryeo, our firearms and population are several times that of Goryeo, and it is not so easy to completely conquer us!" Yamada Nobunaga said sharply.

"Yes!" The samurai bowed their heads in unison.

……

Busan City, after a small reunion with Ye Qingyun, Yue Yun did not stay in Busan City's Flower Street Willow Lane, but returned to his flagship, and he had his own lounge in the battleship.

Glancing at the map, Yue Yun's gaze focused on Nanotsu Bay, which would be their first step in attacking the Wa Kingdom.

Early the next morning, he ordered the battleship to move toward Nanotsu, a distance of four hundred miles in the sea that was only a day's journey for the battleship.

At the same time, Yamada Nobunaga was also mobilizing the remaining warships of the Wa Kingdom, and in fact, in order to keep the only 200 warships left these days, he ordered all the Ataka ships to take refuge in the inland rivers and install artillery to deal with the Great Yu Kingdom.

Now that the news of the all-out attack of the navy of the Great Chongqing State is conclusive, he can only fight against the water first according to his own plan, and he has worked hard to get to his current position, he doesn't want to be dared by other daimyo to go down like this.

In addition to the Ataku ship, he also mobilized 80,000 musketeers, 200 iron cannons, and 8,000 cavalry, and just like in the Battle of Goryeo, this time he still recruited soldiers from various daimyos, which also implicitly matched his purpose.

In a tense atmosphere, Yue Yun's fleet arrived at Nabutsu Bay at dusk that night, and he showed an inexplicable smile as he looked at the already empty dock.

As with countless fleet patrols, it was empty every time they reached the outskirts of Nanotsu, and he was well aware that there were always small boats of the Wa Kingdom cruising in the nearby seas.

These ships were small in size and fast, and they could not catch up with them by relying on sail warships, and only by using steamships could catch up, and there were no less than ten small ships of the Japanese Kingdom that were sunk by them along the way.

But they couldn't keep chasing these would-be fishermen, because attacking Nabutsu was their purpose.

As the saying goes, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and the merchant ships at the Nanozu wharf are gone, but the wharf is there, and Nanozu Castle is also there.

"General, do you want to enter the river?" Liu Chen asked, Nazhijin was built on the edge of an inland river, and through the inland river, Nazhizu City could be directly shelled.

"You can't take this risk, as soon as you come, the warships of the Japanese State may be hidden in the inland river, which is narrow, and the artillery of the Japanese State can shoot directly at the river, and then it will be troublesome."

Before coming, Yue Yun already had a plan, "War is no longer the way it used to be, and now the final thing is to land, and you lead the soldiers to go ashore immediately to build a position." ”

With that, he picked up his binoculars and looked at the dock, where there were already a number of Japanese soldiers, some with arquebuses, some with flintlock pistols, and even a few cannons that imitated the appearance of the Golden Horde.

"Artillery ready!"

Yue Yun said lightly, the tactics of the army are changing, and the tactics of the navy are also changing at the same time.

After all, there are even hundreds of guns on a battleship, and even if there are about 50 guns on one side, more than 20 battleships are firing thousands of guns at the same time.

However, such a high-density shelling can only be described as extravagant, but Yue Yun didn't feel sorry for the shell at all today, because for him, he would definitely find someone to pay for the shell.

Despite the hatred in his heart, he did not forget his true duty.

"Send someone to send the treaty over and limit them to give a reply within two days, otherwise we will go to full-scale war!" Everything was ready, and Yue Yun handed over a treaty document that had already been prepared to the adjutant on the flagship.

After a while, a small boat was lowered, and the soldiers with the document treaty went down to the boat and rowed towards the pier, where they arrived at the pier, and the soldiers handed over the treaty to the Japanese generals.

However, the general of the Japanese kingdom threw the treaty to the soldier after taking a look, and drew his sword to threaten the soldier who delivered the letter, and the soldier had no choice but to row back.

"General, what did you write to make the generals of the Wa Kingdom so angry?" Liu Chen said with interest.

"It's very simple, let the Japanese state admit the defeat, cede the land and pay compensation, give the most preferential treatment to the Dayu country, and compensate the war costs of 40 million taels of silver, of course, this is only an approximation."

Hearing this, Liu Chen smiled helplessly, this was exactly the same as the original Goryeo treaty.

"No wonder he's so angry." Liu Chen pursed his lips.

"The opportunity has already been given to them, and since this is the case, they can only fight." Yue Yun said excitedly, this treaty is indeed unequal, but the Wa State has never talked about equality with the Dayu State, and now the Wa State is not compromising and it is in his arms.

And this is also what the emperor meant, for island countries like the Wa Kingdom, they must have the ability to attack their mainland in order to contain them.

So, after a deep sigh, he finally shouted, "Fire!" ”

With an order, six warships fired at the pier at the same time, and more than 300 shells covered the pier in an instant, and suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and the sound of explosions was endless.
