Qin Rongshuai thought about it, and finally sent a fleet to Dongying Edo for the sake of safety.

Because of the relatively close distance, the route of the fleet is familiar, and Jeju Island is used as a transit station in the middle.

This will allow the Navy and Army to practice ocean-going tactics, as well as test the effectiveness of the new Steam Sail Battleship.

The Navy's steam sail fleet of Liaodong carried 3,000 marines all the way east, passing through Jeju Island to resupply and arriving at Dongying.

The fishermen along the way were shocked when they saw this strange fleet, because they had never seen a ship emitting black smoke, and they thought that the boat was on fire.

When the fleet arrived in the open sea of Edo Port, the Tokugawa shogunate sent several small boats to check on the situation, and when they got closer, they were shocked to find that the ships were all wearing the sun, moon and dragon flags of the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty and Dongying were the largest maritime trade partners, and there were often merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty, who were just a little curious about why these ships smoked.

A samurai who knew Chinese shouted, "Do you need help?" ”

Li Yuanfang picked up the binoculars and looked at the port, and said coldly: "Hit it, and after arriving close to the port, you will directly open fire!" ”

With the sound of the order, the steam engine increased its firepower, and the fleet suddenly increased its speed, directly knocking over the nearby boats, directly blocking the passage of the port regardless of it, and firing a volley at the city in the distance.

The 150 mm cannon was already the most powerful weapon of its time, and the heavy shells pierced a distance of five kilometers and smashed into the largest building in Edo Castle, the Shogun's Palace.

For a time, the interior of Edo Castle was shaken, and many people thought it was an earthquake and fled in fright, until they heard a deafening explosion and saw that the Tokugawa Shogun's palace had become a sea of fire.

The second-generation shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, and his son, Tokugawa Iemitsu, didn't even react to what was happening, and they were killed in the house.

Date Masamune led his retainers and samurai to rush over to the rescue, but the artillery fire was so fierce that the others couldn't get close at all.

His retainer, Tsunagen Oniwa, volunteered to rush in to rescue the Shogun, and then led several samurai in armor and shouted "boardload" and was blown to pieces.

For a while, everyone was silent, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly at the burning Tokugawa Shogun's Mansion, and some directly performed the ancestral technique of shaving their abdomen and committing suicide.

At this moment of panic, three thousand marines landed with muskets on their shoulders.

Date Masamune, who received the news, reacted and hurriedly led a team of samurai to intercept it. As soon as he saw the Marines carrying muskets, before they could shout the slogan, they were killed by a burst of indiscriminate gunfire.

The then assembled Ashigaru was blown up by a burst of shells before he could see the enemy.

In less than an hour, the head of Edo and the armed forces were defeated, and the rest of the retainers either left the jade crushed to resist or fled.

The Marines easily captured the largest city and trading port in the eastern part of the country, and began to build fortifications and put up notices to appease merchants from other countries.

Among them, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were the most calm, they dealt with Liaodong the most, and they were very aware of the style of the Liaodong army, and some merchants also spontaneously donated materials to the Liaodong army and asked if they needed other help.

Li Yuanfang naturally did not refuse the materials, and accepted them one by one, as for helping or anything, there was no need for help.

Within a month, 3,000 marines arrived, and the Edo business was like an iron barrel.

Emperor Gomizuo sent someone to ask the Ming army what their intention was to occupy Edo, and if they did not withdraw quickly, they would send someone to the capital to complain.

Li Yuanfang didn't speak, but handed Qin Rongshuai's handwritten letter to the messenger.

First, Ezo Island was recognized as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Second, return the ceded Ryukyu islands, withdraw all Toei people from Ryukyu, and pay an indemnity of 1 million taels of silver to Ryukyu.

Third, the title of emperor was abolished, and he was appointed as a vassal in the capacity of the king of the Wa Kingdom.

Fourth, an indemnity of 10 million taels of silver was to be paid for the loss of the fleet.

Fifth, tariffs on trade with Liaodong will be abolished and a free trade agreement will be signed.

Sixth, ten treaty ports were opened, and Edo was leased to Liaodong for 99 years.

The term is three months, and there is no room for bargaining.

Where did Emperor Gomizuo dare to agree, anyway, he was a puppet, so he simply kept silent.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, a large number of daimyo jumped out, raised the banner of honoring the king, gathered the army of King Qin, and claimed to be a million to kill Edo.

Looking at the ashigaru samurai all over the mountains, shouting the slogan of jade shattering, that scene made the Marines' scalp tingle.

But Li Yuanfang's expression did not change at all, and with a slight wave of his hand, the artillery group began to cover with carpet fire.

In an instant, the outside of Edo Castle turned into a hell of blood and fire.

The dense artillery fire plowed through the ground for kilometers in the vicinity, and countless Daimyo's army of Ashigaru samurai were reduced to pieces, and the entire ground was covered in flesh and blood.

Looking at the scene like the Shura field, Emperor Gomizuo suddenly realized.

This emperor is not right.

Then he sent an envoy to ask for an armistice, and then quickly signed the treaty and stamped it with a big seal.

So Li Yuanfang returned to Liaodong with a large pile of silver, and returned with the ship to sign the treaty and the Dongying Mission.

Qin Rongshuai carefully put away the silver and the treaty, and the Dongying delegation sent them casually and let them go directly to Beijing.

After the Dongying delegation arrived in Beijing, they were declared ministers and presented their credentials, willing to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty and establish tributary relations.

The apocalypse dragon face is happy, and it will be corrected immediately.

Later, he also sent a commendation decree to Qin Rongshuai, encouraging him to work faithfully and not to live up to the emperor's intentions.

Qin Rongshuai saw that this holy decree was a little inexplicable, when did Emperor Taichang leave me alone.

Later, he pondered the taste, and he was afraid that the apocalypse would not be easy at this time.

At this time, Lu Wenzhao suddenly sent someone to secretly pass a message to him, and the emperor fell into the water again.

Qin Rongshuai was stunned, why did he fall into the water again?

This is the third one, are you people addicted to killing the emperor?

Why can't we do it differently?

On July 23 of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the emperor and the Qianqing Palace summoned the ministers of King Xin, at this time the Apocalypse body was bruised and swollen, dying, he tried to hold the hand of King Xin and said: "My brother should be Yao Shun, Da Ming, it is yours......"

King Xin immediately wept profusely, holding the apocalypse and refusing to let go, saying that he would not say anything and would not ascend the throne.

Many cabinet elders were so anxious that they were sweating profusely, and the country could not be without a king for a day, so they rigidly erected King Xin on the dragon chair, and King Xin shouted, "I don't suffer from this, I don't suffer from this." ”

Liu Yixiu, a cabinet scholar, hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble, it's almost over, it's almost over!" ”

Ye Xianggao's eyes went dark when he heard this, and he fainted to the ground.

In the chaos, Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, the year name Chongzhen, and continued to form a cabinet by the Donglin Party.

At this time, the morale of the government and the opposition was greatly boosted, public opinion was high, and Zhu Youzhen was optimistic about the king of the Ming Dynasty.

Once again, everyone is in the ascendancy.

Then the first decree is to levy a levy on Liao.
