On the blue sea, the sea breeze is calm.

Seagulls fly between the blue sky and blue sea, enjoying the vastness of the sky and the earth, and under the sea, occasionally a few ambitious fish will churn out of the sea, feeling the freedom of the sea and the freedom of fish jumping.

There are also sporadic fishing boats plying the inshore waters, hoping to catch some fish and shrimp to fill their stomachs or bring them back to town for some money.

"It's so nice."

A dark-skinned middle-aged man looked up at the sun, a little intoxicated, and there was a young man standing beside him, who was his son.

Taro Katsuragi.

Some time ago, the sea breeze was too strong to go to sea, and the life in this family was much more tense.

"Get two pockets of fish, and when you go back to Osaka, you can buy a new dress to wear."

The man's words caused the dissatisfaction of the son next to him: "Now those profiteers, clothes are getting more and more expensive." ”

"There's no way, who let the trade between the Great Ming Kingdom and us be cut off."

The disruption of trade is not a trivial matter, and it has directly affected the livelihood of these low-level people.

Katsuragi Taro scolded hatefully: "It's all to blame on those damn pirates." ”

More than ten years ago, the Ming coastal troubles, and this time the Ming and Japan trade was interrupted, the Nanjing authorities' response to the Ashikaga shogunate was also the revival of the pirates, had to temporarily ban the sea, to be reopened after the purging of the pirates.

But this kind of response, the Ashikaga shogunate could not believe as long as he was not a fool.

The Japanese general of the Japanese conquest knew from a minister of the interior, the fourth general of the Muromachi shogunate, and the current actual ruler of Japan, Ashikaga Yoshimori, that this was the Ming Dynasty's preparation to use force against Japan.

To be precise, when Korea was destroyed, Ashikaga Yoshinori was ready accordingly.

"The people of the Central Plains will not die in the heart of Japan, the heart of the nation will not die, the wolf will enmity the wolf, and I will swear to resist the thieves to the end, until all the jade is broken."

At a hypothetical defense meeting of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshinori boosted the morale of the army.

"Back then, Kublai Khan's tyrannical yuan also wanted to destroy our Japan, but the result was to fulfill the prestige of our kamikaze death squad.

Encouraged by Ashikaga Yoshinori, his subordinate generals were full of confidence, after all, Japan at this time had ended the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties for decades, and the Ezo tribe had been pacified repeatedly, and it was time for the top and bottom to work together.

Corresponding to the military's single-force main battle is the concern and compromise of some ministers.

"Can you talk?"

"The first general advocated peace with the Ming Dynasty, not holding the battle array, this persuaded the Ming Taizu Emperor, set my Japan as a country not to conquer, today's Ming Dynasty, far stronger than the first Hongwu ten times, Japan is small and widowed, how can it be the weight of Mount Tai? It should be called a tribute and join the Ming Union, which can open up peace for a hundred generations. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu replied very strongly to this kind of remarks.

"Since the opening of our country, everything has listened to the gods, and the spirit gods have entrusted people to say: Our country has not been a vassal to foreign countries since ancient times." "Although the Ming Dynasty is strong, but its unrighteous teacher, the teacher will be defeated if he is nameless, and you should not be afraid." ”

For Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who has only been in charge for ten years, it is obviously an unacceptable shame to face the direct surrender of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to fight two battles first.

However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's high fighting spirit only infected the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in Kyoto, and by the way, he forced Emperor Saemitsu to issue an edict to the people of Yamato.

In this edict, the young Emperor Hoko called for all of Japan to act together to prepare for war against the armed invasion of the Ming Dynasty, but this edict only served as a propaganda function in Kyoto.

Because in Osaka, the so-called people of Yamato have no voice of encouragement can be heard.

Their eardrums were filled with the sound of artillery fire day and night.

"Order the First Fleet and the Second Fleet to open fire with full guns."

On the command ship, Xue Ke gave the order, and the flag bearer on the rudder raised the flag, and the hundreds of lucky ships surrounding the command ship sailed away one after another, approaching Osaka Port.

Then the two wings spread their wings apart, and the muzzle of a black hole was aimed at this port city, which had gradually become rich because of trade with the Ming Dynasty.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering cannon rang out.

When the cannon is fully fired, it means that not a single reserve shell is left, and all of them are fired.

And a lucky ship, a total of 12 heavy guns, equipped with 180 shells.

The First Fleet and the Second Fleet in Xue Ke's mouth are the main forces of the Ming Navy at present, and one fleet is equipped with thirty ships.

Two fleets were sixty seagoing ships, with a total of 10,800 shells!

The cost of a shell approached fifty taels, and with transportation and manpower, it reached more than sixty taels when it arrived in Xue Ke's army.

As soon as Xue Ke opened fire with a full cannon, he was going to knock out nearly one million of the treasury.

Silver can't kill people, but the artillery turned into silver makes the world look like the end of the world for the Japanese inside and outside Osaka Castle at this moment.

Everywhere there was the roar of explosions, the ruins of broken walls and the broken torsos of corpses.

The coastal defense, which has been painstakingly built for more than a year, is like paper paste under this artillery shell washing tactic.

"Commander-in-chief, this shell supply is more troublesome, let's save some."

The staff officer beside Xue Ke felt distressed first, and persuaded him: "This is the first battle for us to land in Japan, if the base is finished, it will be difficult to fight Kyoto later, and the more you go inside, the more difficult it will be to supply logistics." ”

Who knew that Xue Ke directly glared at the staff officer fiercely: "This commander is the commander-in-chief of Dingwei, and he is only responsible for fighting and winning battles within his duties, and the supply you said is something that the logistics department should worry about."

The chief of the General Staff has said that in a war, each party bears its own responsibility, and the person in charge of the link should be held responsible for any link that goes wrong.

The more shells are fired, the more our sons will survive, and this is where Ben Shuai is responsible. ”

Yes, Xue Ke has tasted the sweetness of cannons for more than ten years in the South Seas.

If you want him to continue to fight with the enemy now, Xue Ke is unwilling.

Wielding a knife and slashing people, how can you see the enemy being bombed, and the ghost cries and howls.

The staff officer retreated and didn't persuade him more, and it didn't take long for him to be like Xue Ke, and he was fascinated by it.

The almost frantic artillery fire lasted for a whole hour, and the two fleets completed their tasks brilliantly, proudly waving the flag of the report.

"Order the two fleets to prepare for landing operations!"

The staff officer looked at the smoke of the Osaka coastal position in the distance and smiled bitterly.

It's a fart.

How many more enemies can there be alive under this artillery fire debriefing performance?

And the fact is just as the staff thought that when one of the vanguard battalions tentatively tested by the First Fleet landed, the only thing that could be seen was a disgusting bloody corpse.

The city of Osaka was destroyed under the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty and turned into the dust of history.
