Chapter 473: Battle at Sea
When Zhou Yu was thinking like this, Zhu Hao ordered the "Zhiyuan" to move forward at full speed, leaving the escort ship of the Fujian Navy Division far behind, and this distance was gradually increasing.
At the same time, Zhu Hao stood on the deck of the "Zhiyuan", and he could already see the flag on the fleet of the Japanese State from a distance.
At this time, Zhou Yu stepped forward and asked:
"Your Highness, there is the fleet of the Japanese Kingdom in front! We'd better slow down and wait for the sailor's fleet to avoid accidents! ”
Zhu Hao listened to Zhou Yu's words, shook his head, and said dissatisfiedly:
"What are you waiting for?"
"Just beat him up and it's over!"
Zhou Yu listened to Zhu Hao's words, frowned slightly, and continued to persuade:
"Your Highness, why don't we call them out first and warn them to leave, and then what if they don't leave!"
"According to the subordinates, in the current situation, it is better not to use force or not to use force!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhou Yu's words, and immediately said angrily:
", do you need to shout?"
"The thieves have all entered your house, and you still tell people, big brother, please you, you can leave! Otherwise, I'm going to do it! ”
"Does that make sense?"
"Do you think you can scare the thief?"
"According to the king, since the thief is coming, then beat him once, subdue him, and make him afraid, this is the solution to the problem!"
Zhu Hao said, no longer looked at Zhou Yu, and directly ordered:
"Listen to the king's orders and continue to march at full speed!"
"Aim at the pirate ships on the islands, and when they are in range, open fire!"
The flag officer of the "Zhiyuan", listening to Zhu Hao's order, immediately commanded the whole ship in the flag language and began to move.
As the "Zhiyuan" gradually approached the fleet of the Japanese State, the Japanese side also discovered the "Zhiyuan", and they looked at this behemoth and were inexplicably shocked.
Before they could figure out what the "Zhiyuan" was, the cannons of the Zhiyuan had already entered the firing range, and hundreds of red-coated cannons roared and shook the sky.
When these Japanese people realized that it was not good, the attack of the Zhiyuan had hit, and they had several warships, which slowly sank in the sea.
The commander of the Wakoku fleet, Yamada Kazuki, was the actual ruler of the Wakoku, the Tokugawa shogunate, the three generations of generals who had just succeeded to the throne, and a close confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was known for his strategy and won the trust of Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Although Yamada Kazuki was a little curious about the origin of the "Zhiyuan", and at the same time he was afraid of the huge size of the "Zhiyuan", but the current situation made him understand that the "Zhiyuan" was not a friend or foe.
After understanding this, Yamada Kazuki took several deep breaths in a row to calm himself down, and then he calmly commanded his own fleet to fight back.
At this moment, although the Wa Kingdom also made artillery, its power could not be compared with the red-coated cannons, and it was extremely scarce, and could only be used as the main cannon of large ships, and more of them would install catapults on ships to serve as artillery.
With Yamada Kazuki's order, artillery and catapults fired in unison, thinking that the "Zhiyuan" would bombard.
However, the "Zhiyuan" has been baptized by the red-coated cannon, and it has not been damaged, and the weapon of the Japanese country, which is more backward than the red-coated cannon, is naturally even more unable to hurt it in the slightest.
With the order of an attack, seeing that the "Zhiyuan" was unscathed, Yamada Kazuki was a little uncalm, and he yelled at the person next to him:
"Mr. Charlie, the sailor of Daming, it seems that it is different from what you described!"
"They are such a sharp weapon, why didn't you tell me in advance!"
The person next to Yamada Kazuki was Charlie's envoy, and the attention that Yunyue gave him that day was to go to the Wa Kingdom, borrow troops from the Wa State, and attack the Daming Water Division.
After defeating the Daming Naval Division, he gathered the old unit of the Combined Fleet for his own use, so as to achieve his hegemony at sea.
Charlie was also a little overwhelmed in the face of the behemoth of "Zhiyuan", and he was also seeing the "Zhiyuan" for the first time, so he didn't know how to explain it in the face of Yamada Kazuki's questioning.
After a while, Charlie whispered:
"This thing may not have been created by Da Ming!"
"Last time we explained to them, we haven't seen this thing, if Da Ming really has such a sharp weapon, how can I defeat it with my combined fleet that day!"
"General Yamada, look at that ship, there is no Ming military flag, I'm afraid it's also an outsider, it's better to let me try, can we unite him, and then we will attack Daming together!"
Yamada Kazuki listened to Charlie's words, and was extremely moved, and after a while, he spoke:
"Well, that's good!"
"Then you can try it!"
"If you can pull this big guy into the gang, that's the best!"
"Maybe we can rely on him and occupy all the sea areas of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Well, it must be possible!"
Yamada Kazuki said, finally affirming, and then urged Charlie to hurry up and become a lobbyist.
In fact, Charlie just changed the topic, so as to reduce Yamada Kazuki's hatred of him.
At this moment, Yamada Kazuki urged Charlie to persuade the other party, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, because he could see the hostility of the other party, and he was afraid that he would be bombarded by the other party's cannon before he got close to the other party.
Therefore, Charlie was very hesitant, but in the face of Yamada Kazuki's words, he did not have the courage to refuse, after all, he was under the roof and had to bow his head.
After a while, Charlie gritted his teeth, got off the main ship, took a small boat, held a white flag, and approached the "Zhiyuan".
Charlie's actions naturally attracted the attention of Zhu Hao in the "Zhiyuan", and Zhou Yu, who was standing next to Zhu Hao, took the lead in asking:
"Your Highness, what should I do?"
Zhou Yu's meaning was to ask Zhu Hao if he wanted to attack the other party, Zhu Hao pondered for a while, and then said:
"Wait a minute, let him get closer, this king is here to see what tricks these Japanese slaves are going to play!"
Zhu Hao actually just looked at the other party and wanted to do something, but if the other party really wanted to surrender, he would not agree, he finally caught it, and the opportunity to give the Chinese nation a shame naturally could not be let go.
Therefore, Zhu Hao was actually just curious about what the other party was going to do, nothing more.
Charlie slowly approached the "Zhiyuan" in a small boat, and when there were still five nautical miles away from the "Zhiyuan", Charlie stopped the boat, and then stood at the bow of the boat and shouted:
"Hey!"
"The giant ship on the other side, where are you from!"
"You have misunderstood, we are the Great Japanese Sailors, stop quickly, we are willing to cooperate with you and attack the Ming Dynasty together!"
"When the time comes, you can give priority to the benefits obtained, how?"
