Text_Chapter 481 Bombardment of Nagasaki

"It's so fucking exciting!" Standing at the bow of the ship, Zheng Zhilong shouted enthusiastically, because he had rich experience in naval warfare, he quickly stood out and was valued when he was trained, and served as the captain of a cruiser, of course, it was also related to his previous status.

Nagasaki is very familiar to him, and it can even be said that the Chinese area of Nagasaki is his territory, well, the territory of his stepfather Li Dan. However, when he came here in a different way today, he had another sense of refreshment.

Doing business in the territory of the Japanese, the daimyo shogunate was rampant everywhere, and Chinese merchants, even armed merchants, were inevitably exploited and oppressed. Of course, Li Dan didn't, but the people below might not be able to say that Zheng Zhilong was angry with him back then.

Now it's finally time to vent!

"Boom, give you a hard bang!" Zheng Zhilong shouted. He even ran to the middle of the deck, where there was the central gun gallery, where several very heavy and very large cannons were usually erected. At this time, the era of sail battleships was rampant, and various countries did everything to increase the firepower of their warships.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if anyone proposed such a design, anyway, he would come up with it first, as long as the secrecy work was done, he was confident that he would decide the dominant situation in Nanyang with these things.

Sitting in front of the cannon, he quickly adjusted the gun mount, adjusted it according to the feeling he had seen before, turned the trigger, activated the flint, and ignited.

The action in one go instantly made the cannon ignite the propellant, and with a boom, the turret shook a little, but Zheng Zhilong was addicted to it again and again.

"It's so cool to bully people from afar and smash the enemy with cannons!" At this time, Zheng Zhilong felt the charm of naval warfare, which was like playing by himself before, a group of boats rushed up, but jumping over and slashing indiscriminately was really a barbaric action.

"Captain, Captain!" Just as he was about to fire again, someone suddenly shouted outside the fort.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to give up the fort and get out after returning it to the gunners here.

"The general sent an order to avoid the Chinese area and shell other places at will!" The herald replied.

"Avoiding China? Okay, I got it. Zheng Zhilong nodded, and then began to command loudly, "All gunners, avoid the urban area of the lower left hand area!" ”

Soon, the order was passed on, and some of the gunners began to turn their guns and pour fire on other places, and some ships even adjusted the angle of their disembarkation to facilitate the bombardment of the city and the port.

In the midst of such a reckless pour of firepower, all the gunners felt very happy, and some even experimented with the newly issued flowering shells, round flowering shells, with a fuse tube inserted into it, gunpowder inside, and asbestos shells, so as to grasp its parameters.

To be honest, the production of the flowering bomb is a little difficult, but it is also on the creation of this round shell, the fuze tube is not a very complicated process, just an ordinary wooden tube, inserted from the pre-set hole, and then use the length of the seal to control the detonation time, although it is impossible to be accurate to the second, but the difference of five seconds can still be guaranteed.

Zhu Youxiao had already written these ideas in some materials, and then threw them all away, and let Sun Yuanhua study them, which had just come out now, and even, due to the re-exploitation of fierce fire oil, Sun Yuanhua also made an incendiary bomb.

The grease is sealed, and after the gunpowder explodes, the grease is sprinkled out, and the burning of gunpowder will naturally ignite the grease, causing the effect of incendiary bombs, which is also a secret weapon used to deal with the warships of the Westerners.

Now it has also been used by Shen Yourong, and it can be regarded as an experiment on the battlefield for further improvement.

"Come on, come on, third, let's compare and see whose accuracy is stronger!" A hot-blooded gunner who opened the cannon roared and challenged, and the object of his provocation was also the famous marksman on the battleship, and the accuracy of the cannon was very high on weekdays.

"Compare, come, just that foreigner's spire house, whoever hits first will please drink!" Not to be outdone, the third child pointed to a very challenging goal.

The dome of that building is very high, pointy, they have seen similar ones in Beijing, it seems to be called a church or something, the people in it are all missionaries, people are very good, and they also teach them Chinese pinyin for free, used for literacy, but for some reason, the third child has a kind of itchy feeling when he sees such a building, and wants to bombard it. I don't have a chance on weekdays, but now I finally have the opportunity to live a dry life.

"Okay, that church." The provocateur obviously knows this thing, it seems to be a temple dedicated to the gods, but whatever, it's not on our land anyway, and he's not afraid of it, besides, Lao Tzu is a soldier under the emperor, and our majesty is the reincarnation of Haotian God, and now he is about to re-ascend to the throne with his achievements in the world, squeezing out the throne of the Jade Emperor, and he will be afraid of you as a foreign god.

Even if I want to blame me, I have to pass His Majesty's level first. With such a mysterious thought, the gunner pushed all the unknown responsibilities onto Zhu Youxiao without any psychological obstacles, and began to push the church unscrupulously.

"Your Majesty blesses, all evils will not invade!" Reciting a phrase from the original hadith, the gunner turned the trigger.

Rumble!

With the drive of this artillery, other gunners have also taken this rare opportunity to start the honing of their own skills, which is the guarantee of military merit, whose technology is more accurate, who has a great chance of meritorious service, and when the time comes, it will be the capital of soaring.

As a result, the entire slightly taller houses in Nagasaki were thrown into disarray, and the gunners focused on them as targets for training their skills, such as castle towers, steeple churches, and luxury restaurants with several floors.

This artillery bombardment lasted for half an hour, and it was not until only a base number of ammunition stocks was consumed that Shen Yourong ordered the shelling to stop.

"It's enjoyable, it's really fucking enjoyable, little widow, I didn't think you would have today! Hahaha! Shen Yourong looked at Nagasaki in the midst of the ruins and rising flames, and laughed heartily.

"It's fun!" He unscrewed the small transparent wine bottle in his right hand and poured it into his mouth, and the captain's eyes were straight when he looked at it. Not for his demeanor, but for the wine in his hands, this small bottle of palace wine is the best of the best, it has always been a special offer, distributed by the emperor to various ministers and generals, but I didn't expect the general to have it in his hands.

When Shen Yourong joined the army, although the rebellion of the Japanese invaders had subsided, there would still be outbreaks from time to time, he basically governed the army along the coast all his life, and naturally encountered the Japanese invaders, fought countless times, and his free relatives and friends died in it, and his heart was full of hatred for the Japanese invaders.

Once upon a time, he also thought that one day, he would be able to raise troops to wreak havoc on Japanese soil like the Japanese Invaders, hating him with blood in his heart. Yes, although the Ming Dynasty is still tough on the outside world, and he has repeatedly repelled many invaders' coveting of coastal land, but as he gets older, he finds that this kind of war is becoming more and more difficult, and every time he has to do his best, racking his brains to think about the enemy's strategy, in order to defeat the enemy.

Although this is their soldier's job, Shen Yourong is still very sad, I don't know how many years, the coastal armament has not been renovated, and the one used is still the one handed down from the former Song Dynasty, or even worse, the fierce fire oil is not equipped on the warship.

It was still so difficult to defend the country, not to mention the Prancing Horse Kyoto (the capital of Japan at this time), and he took revenge, he thought that he would eventually take this idea with him, but now His Majesty's ascension to the throne vaguely made him see hope, especially after the appearance of the fleet, it was even more hopeful.

Until, yesterday he received the military order to bombard Nagasaki, when he was so excited that he almost cried, he felt that this was just the beginning, not far from his idea of prancing horse Kyoto.

"Ah Heng, Zixi, you can rest in peace!" Shen Yourong poured wine, but tears suddenly flowed out, and many people vaguely appeared in front of him.

The Ming side is either elated, or relieved, but in Nagasaki Prefecture, the Japanese feel fear, this is the end of the world!

The number of the fleet this time is very large, with a total of fifty or sixty warships, and they are basically equipped with the most mature twelve-pound cannons, with long range and light weight, but the number of them is different.

Although a battleship can only have ordinary naval guns to fire, but with so many warships, there are at least seven, eight hundred, or even thousands of shells fired at one time, and this kind of vitality is far more intense than when Zhu Youxiao bombarded Guihua City.

The Japanese in Nagasaki are almost all crying, where did this attack come from!

The terrible cries, the groans of dying, the cry of the father and the mother, for a time resounded everywhere in this trading city, even in the gathering area of Westerners, who did not expect that this city in the Far East would be subjected to such a fierce artillery bombardment as the main naval fleet.

The thick lead bullet with huge kinetic energy, tearing down the wall and destroying the house, rubbing the scorching heat, and even igniting some flammable materials, and then, some projectiles like the devil's roar, after the violent explosion, burst out some black grease, very viscous, emitting a pungent smell.

These things are still very still, with sparks from gunpowder burning, flying everywhere, igniting all kinds of buildings. Most of the buildings in Japan are made of wood, and when they come across something loaded with diesel, gasoline, or crude oil, it quickly ignites and burns violently.

The fire is full of light, as bright as the lights of the Lantern Festival.
