On the Jiaozhou, Yamauchi was arrogant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, in Shimazu Mitsuhisa's heart, he does have this arrogant capital. Obviously, the Tosa clan was serious this time. Poor and crazy, they are said to have invested a considerable amount of blood in it, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa patronized the matter of the China-Japan Free Trade Zone in Lehe, but he didn't expect that he would stay at the beginning to end up like this.

Changing places, if Shimazu Mitsuhisa himself falls into the situation of the Tosa Domain, it is estimated that he will be very crazy.

The feudal kingdom was already in financial crisis and was in great difficulty. At this time, when I suddenly heard that there was an opportunity to earn 200,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that everyone would be excited.

For this reason, he will do even if it is to borrow usury to raise military expenses.

In fact, Yamauchi did exactly that.

But the ending is obviously very tragic.

Hope comes so happily that when hope is shattered, there will be an equally degree of collapse.

Yamauchi Tadayu's rampage is not unexpected, and their threat is indeed genuine.

Mitsuhisa Shimazu felt that it was tricky, and this was really a big problem.

200,000 taels is indeed a large number. But with the wealth of everyone on board, it should not be difficult to come out. Mitsumi Shimazu thought about the wording for a long time and wanted to give in.

He didn't even think about whether His Majesty the Ming Emperor would also give in. Obviously, in Shimazu's subconscious, Akito may be rich, but they must also spare their lives. Perhaps they were powerful on the way, and the Jurchens, who were said to be very brave, were no match for them and were defeated by them.

But it's different here, it's on the sea.

Surrounded by at least thirty warships, they had only four ships. Moreover, the opponents are brave Japanese warriors, many of whom are wandering samurai. They are not afraid of death and are familiar with naval warfare. Jumping gang rushed over, no matter how strong you were on the road, you could only feel powerless.

However, His Majesty the Emperor only spat out a few words contemptuously: "The ignorant are fearless......"

Yamauchi Zhongzhi's face changed, and his face was very vicious: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is certainly powerful. But you Mingguo also has a good saying, that is: the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. This is the sea, and in the face of our encirclement, you only have four ships. Many of them were merchant ships of weak and spineless merchants. Such an opponent is by no means the opponent of Watanabe's Amamiya fleet. Now, it can be solved with only 200,000 taels of silver. But when all of you are captured, it will no longer be a matter that can be solved by 200,000 taels! ”

Shimazu Mitsu was anxious for a long time: "Loyal and straight, why be aggressive." After all, this is His Majesty the Great Emperor......"

"What about the so-called emperor...... The Ming Kingdom is different, and there has been a so-called civil fort. Hmph, what does the strength of the Chinese have to do with Japan? The so-called Mongols, who were at their peak at that time, were also wiped out by the 200,000 army with the help of the kamikaze. Mitsuhisa Shimazu, your knees are too soft. But my son of the Tosa people will never be like you! Yamauchi looked disdainful.

Zhu Cihong shook his head, not wanting to talk to this self-righteous guy anymore, but just said: "Your Excellency Yamauchi Zhongzhi, you have to understand that you are just an enemy of the Ming Dynasty again. Do you know what you're doing? Are you sure, do you want to do this? This is an act of war! ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes were scorching, and there was a lot of coldness.

Yamauchi Tadanao suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the air changed, and the Ming Emperor, who just looked gentle and polite, suddenly became a little aggressive.

Although there was no sharpness in the words, the tone of the voice showed a complete chill.

"Hmph, it's just a bluff." Tadanao Yamauchi comforted himself, snorted lightly, and said, "So what? ”

"There is a saying that the two countries are at war without slashing each other. You can safely leave now, but in a quarter of an hour. If you're still in our field of vision. Maybe you'll be the first Japanese soldier to die in battle. In the same way, I didn't let you go back because of Song Xianggong's pedantry. It's that I'm confident that I'll see you again soon. If you don't die. And the place, right in the prison cells of war criminals. Zhu Cihong waved away Yamauchi Tadanao.

Soon, naturally, someone rushed Yamauchi Tadanao off the boat without saying anything.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was anxious: "Your Majesty, why bother. As soon as he passed the word, the chances of peace were gone......"

Zu Dashou and Zheng Sen both looked anxious, and they also understood the power of these widows. It's them, and they don't want to provoke them when they are idle. Most of the time, however, they didn't encounter so many pirates during their voyages.

Thirty-five Japanese warships, which may have taken out all the family resources of the so-called Watanabe Amamiya, and maybe also won over other Japanese warships.

And, in general. Business is all about seeking wealth, and if the enemy is powerful, paying some money to buy the road is actually the most cost-effective thing. Although 200,000 taels is too much, it is not difficult for everyone to get together. It's better than a shipwreck and a dead person.

But this is His Majesty the Emperor after all.

Zu Dashou and Zheng Sen understood very well, as subjects of the Ming Dynasty, since His Majesty had spoken, they had no reason to stop it, so they had to worry in their hearts.

After all, Shimazu Mitsuhisa is the most involved, and his identity is relatively detached, so he immediately discouraged him.

Even Abe Zhongqiu, who has always been friendly to the Ming Dynasty, also admonished in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is a deadlock that will never end." Please also think twice, Your Majesty. If it really doesn't work, the minister can also come forward. The majesty of the shogunate, those Japanese robbers did not dare to ignore it. Even if there is anything involved, it should be the Tosa Domain and the Satsuma Domain. It shouldn't involve Da Ming, these people should understand the importance of proportion. ”

Abe Zhongqiu undoubtedly handed Zhu Cihong a step down, so that everyone looked good.

As a high-ranking official of the shogunate, it was not a problem to deal with a daimyo of 20,000 koku.

Even when Shimazu Mitsuhisa heard this, although he knew that he might have to bear the blame for his own crimes, he also felt that this was also a solution. It's better than everyone tearing their faces. If His Majesty the Emperor made any mistakes in Japan, it would not be an opportunity for the Satsuma Clan, but a disaster.

Zhu Cihong shook his head with a smile, but did not say the reason for refusal.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa listened, feeling both relaxed and nervous.

The relaxation is that since Daming has carried this matter, it is the protection of the Satsuma Domain. This was a love and a return for the Satsuma Domain's cession of the concession.

Just like Shimazu Mitsuhisa's courtesy to His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Cihong, as soon as the Sino-Japanese Free Trade Zone was established, the Satsuma Domain was nailed to a definite pro-China identity.

It is not easy to cultivate a Japanese traitor, so he is buried like this, Zhu Cihong is not reconciled.

Of course......

The most important thing is, of course, Zhu Cihong's last painful post just now.

"Since the Japanese have chosen to attack and start war, then there is a reason to use war to maintain peace. Stopping the fight with force is the right way. After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, his eyes fell on the captain Xia Zhiwu.

Xia Zhiwu held his chest high and gave a military salute upright: "The two hundred and seven people on the Jiaozhou are on standby, please instruct Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Cihong bowed his head slowly: "I think about it, I'm afraid everyone here has forgotten one thing. Here, it is above the Ming warship. Jiaozhou is a new generation of Xia-class warships that have just entered service and are equipped with the latest and strongest armaments of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps, you didn't know anything about it before that. But I am confident that you will soon find out. China Tianwei is not allowed to be blasphemed! Xia Zhiwu, I command you, defeat the enemy! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Xia Zhiwu took the order and left.

Then, regardless of the expressions of everyone on the ship, he began to give orders.

"Full rudder on the left, watch out for the enemy in front of you. Target: Watanabe Amamiya flagship, a No. 1 fortune ship. The ministries make a final check, listen to my orders, and prepare for battle! Xia Zhiwu calmly ordered.

At this time, everyone seemed to suddenly understand that this lucky ship was different from any previous lucky ship.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's heart moved, but it sounded the top-secret drawing given by Zheng Zhilong before. Above, there are drawings of the new Fuship.

Zheng Zhilong praised this ship as unique in the sky and on the ground, and it can be compared to the Galen ship of Westerners. However, Mitsuhisa Shimazu was unimpressed. felt that Zheng Zhilong's south was Wang Po selling melons and boasting. More importantly, the technical strength of the Satsuma Domain Shipyard was weak, and after the start of construction, the time of launching was expected to be delayed again and again, and in the end, it was suddenly said that all the materials bought in China were unqualified, and many key materials needed to be purchased in Daming. In particular, the most important sails were purchased in Beijing, Nanjing, and Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, and they were all disappointed.

As a result, the Satsuma Domain's imitation plan was put on hold.

Today, Shimazu Mitsutsu can't help but recall his feelings after seeing the drawings. and among his own retainers, he is good at the comments of the generals of the navy.

"If you talk about big ships, there are naturally the benefits of big ships. The most important advantage of the Daming Fu ship is that the ship is as big as a building. It's just that in the past, there were many Ming official offices, and the workmanship was sparse. If you take the largest No. 1 lucky ship as an example, as long as you supervise it carefully, you can put the red cannon of the people. If the cannon is big, it will be powerful. A cannon shot was fired, and the enemy ship was shattered. Now the ship may be able to fire guns in the morning, but most of them are small iron cannons. Even a Franc cannon is obviously enough. And this new type of fortune ship...... I'm afraid it's a 5,000-pound cannon......"

Mitsuhisa Shimazu couldn't help but look at the gun emplacement at the bow of the ship.

This Xia-class battleship, like most Xiyi ships, had guns on the left and right sides. But the bow and stern of the ship each have a rotating turret.

It takes time to move the hull of a ship at sea, and it takes a long time, so it is very difficult to test the skills.

But moving the muzzle is obviously more convenient.

Before the guns on both sides were in place, the guns in the bow and stern of the ship had already begun to twist the muzzles and aim at the enemy in front.

How they aimed, Shimazu Mitsuhisa even had someone explain that he couldn't understand. His understanding of artillery was simple and simple.

The bigger the better, the larger the caliber, the greater the weight, the more powerful.

The cannon in front of him made Shimazu Mitsuhisa couldn't help but feel as if his eyes had been hooked, and he couldn't move it.

He pouted, trying to reach over and gestify. But apparently, he didn't have that opportunity.

But there was no doubt that this cannon was bigger than anything he had ever seen. At least...... It's definitely bigger than those small Furlong guns. As for the caliber, maybe on four feet.

Moreover, what makes Shimazu Mitsuhisa can't help but salivate is ...... It turned out to be a bronze cannon.

The bronze cannon also means that many of the ingredients on it are copper.

Although copper is produced in Japan, the price of copper is much cheaper than that of Daming. But all the same, everyone knows that copper is money. Copper coins and copper coins, it goes without saying.

And this turned out to be a bronze cannon.

He had heard of the advantages of bronze cannons as artillery, but it was like using silver to make wires, and everyone knew that they had excellent performance, but no one had ever thought that silver would really be used for wires......

If there were, it would have to be at least as important as the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb.

"It's really a big dog, it's so rich...... These Wise people...... Do you think that your confidence is here? But ......" Shimazu Mitsuhisa suddenly lost interest in complaining.

Akito's strength was somewhat beyond his imagination, and he had completely dispelled the mood to attack the Zheng family.

He was quietly waiting for the battle to begin, and what he didn't even realize was ...... From now on, he will go farther and farther on the road of "Japanese rape......

The battle has begun.

The guns in the bow and stern of the ship were the first to fire.

The hit rate is normal, and none of them hit.

But the accuracy surprised many connoisseurs.

Because, all of them fell less than ten feet around the enemy ship.

This is already very accurate in a naval battle of 500 zhang.

With the opening of the Jiaozhou, the rest of the warships have also understood the decision. Except for the two small warships of the Ming army, which quickly set up a battle formation to follow and fire, the other three ships were all a beat slower.

Rumble......

Three merchant ships also opened fire.

On the No. 1 Fortune Boat, Watanabe Amamiya looked at the water stains splashed on his body, and then looked at the cannon fire of the merchant ships falling at a distance of 100 zhang, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmph, after all, it's just a group of merchants." It is enough to rob other merchant ships that are also merchants. Dare to attack the Yamato man under the big ship of Hachiman, that is self-defeating! Zhongfengjun, please rest assured. The shame that Zhongzhijun received in front of the Ming people, I will definitely avenge you! ”

"Amamiya-kun, I believe in your strength. However, there is a saying that the Han people say well. Called: Long nights and many dreams. No one was sure whether they would leave their treasure cargo off the ship, but I heard that many gifts were prepared for the Ryukyu Kingdom, which were of great value. We've got to move fast! Yamauchi Tadashi cut to the chase, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

On the side, hearing someone mention himself, Yamauchi Tadanao didn't have the heart to respond, he looked at the battleship called Jiaozhou, and his pupils shrank: "Wait...... The speed was too fast, and they were already close to the distance. In just one hour, the distance was only three hundred zhang. And...... Wrong...... No, why is it so flexible? Damn, they turned their guns on us! ”

The Jiaozhou came sideways.

This means that the muzzles of at least twenty black holes on this side are aimed at the fleet of Japanese vessels.
