"Stop shelling! Landing in Nagasaki! ”

Shen Yourong gave an order, and all the battleships turned off when they boarded, and then, with destroyers and frigates as the lead reconnaissance, slowly sailed into the harbor.

At the time of the shelling, Shen Yourong avoided the port, but put the target on Nagasaki County, so at this time the port was still well preserved, and the various merchant ships and warehouses on the shore were well protected, and there was no loss. Of course, the shogunate's power in the port was likewise undepleted.

After the destroyers and frigates in front entered the dock area, there were suddenly several rumbling noises from both sides of the harbor, and the captain of the battleship, who was the vanguard, was naturally no stranger to them. It was the defense forces of the port of Nagasaki that were launched, and some of the shore defense artillery began to play their role.

"Order the ships to smash the batteries." Shen Yourong held the binoculars, drove them around, and there were traces of batteries on the cliffs on the hills and cliffs of the left and right harbors, the other party occupied a favorable position, and the artillery could attack from a distance, but it was within the range of the battleship.

Soon, the return fire of the Ming fleet began, and the lookout calculated the angle and azimuth according to the direction in which the shells were flying, and then reported the data to the gunner, and ran to adjust the elevation angle and rotate the muzzle according to these.

Boom, another dense salvo, but this time each ship had its own target battery, even if the accuracy varied, but dozens of shells made up for it, and soon, it was only two or three salvos, and the defense battery in Nagasaki port was knocked out.

And the loss paid by Shen Yourong is just a few bullet marks on the vanguard troops, and the most serious thing is that the deck of a frigate is pierced, and it will be repaired.

The last force was defeated, and there was no longer any force on the sea that could hinder Shen Yourong, and slowly, after leaving seven or eight search frigates to patrol outside, the entire fleet sailed into the harbor and found a dock to dock at one time.

Then, the pallets were put up, and groups of soldiers carrying muskets came out of the battleship, quickly assembled on the docks, and took up positions.

As there were more and more people, the chassis they occupied became larger and larger, and at this time, a shootout broke out. In the harbor, in addition to the shore defense artillery, there were also some guards on the ground, but these numbers were not many, and they were wiped out by the soldiers after a while.

However, because Japan also has a lot of fireworks, although they are still old-fashioned arquebuses, they are still very powerful, and after being stimulated, they still caused certain losses to the naval soldiers who swept away the resistance, and three soldiers were killed on the spot and two were wounded. When the news reached Shen Yourong's ears, it made him thunderous, so that there could still be casualties, which was really unforgivable.

However, after this resistance was eliminated, the entire port was occupied, and after seeing that the environment was cleaned, Shen Yourong also got down from the flagship and boarded the land of the port.

Looking at Nagasaki County, which was still smoky, Shen Yourong instructed lightly, "Send someone to contact the Japanese side to convey His Majesty's punishment." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, a small group of soldiers set out from the harbor with a will, carrying a firecracker, and stepped into Nagasaki Prefecture, where the fire was still flickering, and began to search for the administrator here and read the decree. Of course, the so-called will was only written by Shen Yourong according to the emperor's will, and it was just an excuse to launch a punitive action.

After the soldiers set out, Shen Yourong captured the coolies and prisoners in the port, drove them to start building fortifications, blocked the only passage in and out of the port with burlap bags, and then guarded again, and then set up camp and waited for a reply from the Japanese direction.

At this time in Nagasaki, after Shen Yourong stopped the shelling, the situation finally improved, there was no new starting point, just extinguish the old one, the amount of work was reduced a lot, and there were no shells whizzing overhead, and many people were emboldened and could devote themselves to the rescue.

Soon, under the samurai organization who were clamoring to cut off the head of the culprit, the Japanese people were organized and began to go around fighting fires and rescue the wounded, and the whole of Nagasaki was quickly stabilized under this order.

At this moment, the soldiers who had come out to look for the local administrator saw this and quickly walked over.

"You're the local magistrate." The staff officer at the head asked in the official dialect of the Great Ming.

Fortunately, the samurai was the local acting official, responsible for managing everything in Nagasaki, and naturally understood the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

"I'm the acting officer here, who are you?" The samurai wondered, his official speech was still a little non-standard, and his tone was strange.

"Yes." The staff officer didn't understand what the acting officer meant, but he probably understood that the other party was an official here, as long as he was a person in the officialdom, he could pass on the news.

He didn't care about anything else, and said directly, "Admiral Shen Yourong of the Ming Dynasty will strictly obey the emperor's order to carry out artillery bombardment on the vassal country of Japan. He was charged with the following crimes........"

Immediately, the staff officer told him a lot about what Japan had done over the years, such as not paying tribute on time, detaining Chinese merchants, harboring Chinese pirates, trading with Chinese merchants without permission, and conniving at pirates.

Anyway, with Japan's behavior at this time, if you want to make excuses, it's all a bunch of them, and you don't need to think about it at all.

In the end, the staff officer also issued an ultimatum, "I hope that your shogunate can send personnel to hand over as soon as possible to negotiate Japan's compensation." ”

After speaking, the staff officer didn't care whether the other party understood or not, and left directly. And the deputy of Nagasaki looked stunned, his eyes kept turning, obviously thinking about what the other party seemed to mean.

It's been a long time!

"Eight Tooth Road!" The warrior suddenly scolded angrily, and when he raised his head, he wanted to find the bad luck of the person who had just read it, but when he saw it, the figure was gone.

"Yaga, Yaga!" The warrior shouted angrily, but he had no choice, with the firepower of the Ming fleet's shelling just now, he would bring people up to death himself, so it was better to pass the news back.

It just so happened that the shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had just taken over this year, was presiding over the war on Kyushu Island at the moment.

In order to ensure safety, the acting official did not send a messenger, but personally led people out of Nagasaki and headed east to deliver the message. As for the fire fighting and rescue here, just leave it to your subordinates.

Soon, the night was dark, and the port occupied by the Ming Dynasty was brightly lit, butter headlights, horse lanterns, bonfires, everywhere, blazing fires, illuminating every corner, giving people a feeling of bright lights.

On the flat ground of the dock area, there are some tents, which are the places where the landing soldiers are stationed, and their number is small, only three thousand, and the others still sleep on the battleships in case of emergencies.

"Stop, come here and shoot!"

Suddenly, the soldiers guarding the passage in and out of the port shouted, under the raging firelight, a group of black shadows suddenly flashed, so that the nervous soldiers almost fired, but fortunately, it was still a flat platoon leader with sharp eyes, and saw that the other party was dressed as a Ming man, and he did not bring weapons, so he stopped the soldiers from firing and asked.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, it's all your own people, your own people." More than a dozen businessmen appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers one after another, and after seeing each other's dress, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this look, it didn't look like an enemy.

"My own people, what my own people, less set almost!" The platoon commander didn't eat this, and still asked sharply, "What is your origin, if you don't say it, you will be a spy." ”

"Don't, don't." Brother Sun, who was the leader, hurriedly curryed favor and said, "This platoon commander, please also inform the general of your army, Major General Shen Yourong, that it is the Ming businessman of Nagasaki who has something to ask to see." ”

"Ming merchants?" The platoon commander was puzzled, "What did you see the general?" He was hesitant and didn't dare to report it.

"This platoon commander, it's inconvenient to talk about things, as long as General Shen sees this famous thorn, he will receive us." Brother Sun handed over a dark golden thorn, along with it, there was also a silver tael weighing ten taels of silver, although it was only locally produced Japanese silver, and it could not be used in China, but this price was enough.

But I didn't know that the platoon leader didn't receive it at all, and after touching the silver, his face changed, and he shouted, "What are you doing, take the silver back, I will hand it over, now wait here." ”

"Yes, yes!" Brother Sun was a little embarrassed, so he had to laugh again and again.

In the general's account, Shen Yourong was looking through the documents, which were some statistics on armaments and materials, as well as some of the property looted in this port today.

What kind of monarch there is, what kind of general there will be. Every time there is a war, Zhu Youxiao will try not to lose money, and he will earn back the capital of the war from the enemy, and under the influence of this, Shen Yourong is the same now, every time he wins the war, he has to loot the enemy's wealth.

They did the same with the pirates, vowing not to give up until they handed over the last treasure spot.

"General, more than a dozen merchants from the Ming Dynasty came from Nagasaki, saying that they want to see you, this is their famous thorn." The orderly came in and recounted what had just happened.

"Ming merchants?" Shen Yourong frowned. He was not unsurprised that there were Ming merchants here, and the shelling during the day also deliberately avoided the gathering area here, but he didn't expect that these merchants would be so bold and dare to visit him.

With such doubts, he opened the name thorn, but the name of the head in it shocked him, and the whole person stood up.

"The name thorn of the Grand Duke?!" Shen Yourong looked at the name on the name thorn with some surprise, there was a chapter on the name, which was Sun Chengzong's private seal, and he naturally knew it as a subordinate.

"Go and get them in." After thinking about it, Shen Yourong made a decision, no matter what the other party's background is, whether it really has something to do with the Metropolitan Governor, and he has seen it first to make a decision.

Soon, a dozen merchants were invited into the general's tent, and the tent, which had appeared to be spacious, was crowded.
