"You, who dares to go with me to get Zheng Zhilong's head?"

The garrison of Nagasaki is all from the Nabeshima family, and the so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, since Nabeshima Katsushige, one by one is also full of righteous indignation, and he can't wait for Zheng Zhilong to be in front of him, so he can be slashed and killed.

Now that Nabeshima Katsushige has decided to go to war, aren't the generals of the garrison overjoyed?

"Your Excellency, please think again. Zheng Jun's sailors had absolute superiority, and once a war was provoked, the whole of Japan would be uneasy because of it. Matsuura Zhenxin didn't expect that Katsushige Nabeshima, who was almost seventy years old, had a temper that was even more explosive than Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong's wife and children were detained for more than ten years, and only then did they issue a threat of war, and Nabeshima Katsushige returned and drew his sword to go to war.

"Hmph, coward. Zhenxin, you don't have the courage of your ancestors. "Although the defeat of the Matsuura family in the Battle of Futian Bay 80 years ago also brought a great shock to the daimyo of the island country, the governor of the Matsuura family at that time had the courage to fight. Organized hundreds of people and some pirates to rob two Portuguese armed merchant ships, which is very courageous.

Nabeshima Katsushige glanced at Matsuura Zhenshin contemptuously, and turned his head to look at the samurai below tightly, "Of course I know that Zheng Zhilong's sailor fleet has the advantage, and I won't risk the lives of the samurai to stop the guns." I just want you to launch a surprise attack at night, a surprise attack on Zheng Zhilong's fleet. ”

"Didn't he give us a day? Then wait until the evening. ”

"The samurai sneaked to the Zheng family fleet in small boats, quietly boarded the deck of the ship, and then used the katana in your hands to harvest the lives of those Chinese."

"Not only do I want to get Zheng Zhilong's head, but I also want to take his warship. With a warship of this size, why did Zheng Zhilong's successor harass Japan? However, we have to consider whether to join forces with the Dutch and completely wipe out the Zheng family. ”

Nabeshima Katsushige laughed, and the laughing Matsuura Town Nobuto was embarrassed. You said that you are a landlubber on land, and it would be good if you don't know anything about the sea and don't speak, but you just show off in front of yourself. Although he did not make a living as a pirate like his ancestors, he also knew a lot about the sea.

Looking at Zheng Zhilong's fleet, those old lock ships are just that, not to mention some lucky ships and bird ships, Japanese sailors can be completely maneuvered, but what about those main splint ships?

Even if it was given to Japan, Japan could not find a few people who could steer the sails of Europe. What's more, Nagasaki only has 1,000 soldiers from the Saga domain, and it is ridiculous to want to capture Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

But Matsuura didn't say a word more.

"Father, do you really want to watch Nabeshima drag the whole of Japan into danger?" Matsuura said anxiously.

As he strode forward, Matsuura didn't say a word, until he entered his quarters and everyone was waiting outside, and he looked at his son.

I was a little disappointed that my son was too naïve; But I am also a little relieved that my son's character is still very good. And I'm still young, so it's good to stay by my side and educate slowly in the future.

"Yes, this battle of Nabeshima Katsushige will make the whole of Japan miserable, but the whole of Japan will be dragged into a crisis, but my Matsuura family will not. Do you think the Zheng family will aim their shells at us? ”

Matsuura didn't wait for his son's answer, so he continued: "Of course not. Only based on our friendship with the Zheng family, and only on the care we have taken care of Tagawa's mother and son over the years, Zheng Zhilong will not aim his guns at our Matsuura family even if he shoots cannonballs to Edo. ”

Since the shogunate forcibly moved the Dutch to the outer islands of Nagasaki three years ago, the Matsuura family has suffered a serious loss of income, and in the past few years he has been bothering to make up for the loss, but he has always been unable to do so.

But now, Nabeshima's stupidity gave him hope.

"We are Zheng Zhilong's most trusted friends in Japan, and when Zheng Zhilong has a war with Japan, and it is a war that Zheng Zhilong will not lose, I believe that the status of the Matsuura family will become very different from what it is now."

The Matsuura family, whose ancestral profession was pirates, has become insignificant as Japan has closed off the country. After all, they were just a small daimyo who was 70,000 stone high. If the shogunate's policy continued, Matsuura believed that his family would soon lose all voice in Japan and become an insignificant player.

He never wanted to see this scene, and he didn't want to see the decline of his family.

Before, the general trend was surging, and he was helpless. But now that there is the stupid Nabeshima Katsushige, this ignorant and arrogant old man as a shield, Matsuura Jinxin doesn't mind borrowing Zheng Zhilong's hand to turn the whole of Japan upside down.

"Then do we have to inform the Zheng family?" Matsuura Dong quickly accepted his father's explanation, although he was very excited for a while, because Matsuura Zhenxin simply meant 'self-respect' and was simply a Japanese traitor. But he still quickly understood everything, and his own family is the most important thing, isn't it?

He thought of Mitsushige Nabeshima, a teenager ten years younger than himself. Nabeshima Katsushige's youngest son, his three elder brothers have been divided by Nabeshima Katsushige, and the city has been divided - Nabeshima Imperial Family, so this young man who is only twelve years old now is the next governor of the Nabeshima family, and his status naturally far exceeds himself.

Thinking of himself in front of a twelve-year-old boy, he was inferior to him, Matsuura Dong thought it was normal before, but now he was only full of shame. The 'knot' in my heart will naturally be untied.

"No, you don't. You have to remember who you are, we are Japanese, we are Japanese samurai, Japanese daimyos. We can use the Zheng family to elevate our own importance, but our outward words and deeds must be firmly from the standpoint of Japan. In this way, not only the generals and samurai daimyo in the country will admire us, but even Zheng Zhilong will also admire us.

Now we just have to wait, I believe that Zheng Zhilong will not be defeated by such a little trick. ”

Matsuura Zhenxin didn't think that Zheng Zhilong, who was crisscrossing the ocean, would not be vigilant at all.

"We just need to protect the safety of Tagawa's mother and son, and protect the safety of the Weng family."

As for those Han merchants and Chinese in Nagasaki, it's better to die a few, isn't it?

But he would never do it.

The future of the Matsuura family is bright, but it will not be ruined by a small profit.

Convinced that there is no impermeable wall in the world, Matsuura Jinshin will not take the risk at this time. Even a few of the Han merchants in Nagasaki really offended him.

Zheng Zhilong was awakened by the sound of gunfire in his sleep. Got up and put on his clothes, without putting on his armor, and when he walked out of the cabin, he saw the fire flickering in front of the entire fleet. Half of the port of Nagasaki was burned red.

Then in the firelight, he could clearly see the small boats loaded with Japanese soldiers on the water.

Samurai with shaved heads and katana swords held high stood at the bow of the ship shouting, but their efforts were shattered by the roar of guns and cannons.

Scattered catapults shot out, and those small boats were literally shattered by people and boats.

Not to mention the fact that the sailors on the ship also threw grenades downward, as well as fire and oil cans. The Japanese soldiers on the ship were so good that they weren't miserable.

They could only release muskets or shoot rockets at the ships, and the ships that Nabeshima had high hopes for were either sunk or held up far by wooden poles.

"The Japanese are really looking for death."

I don't want to think about it, Zheng Zhilong can gallop on the sea for so many years, how can he not be cautious? If he were so negligent, he would have sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed Wang Ba.

The Japanese wanted to take advantage of the night, when the Zheng family's fleet was anchored outside Nagasaki Bay, to launch an attack on the Zheng family's fleet, what did they think?

Zheng Zhilong simply stopped sleeping. Bathing and changing clothes, and then it was dawn, and Matsuura Zhenxin hurriedly took a small boat to meet Zheng Zhilong again.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Zheng Zhilong's expression was very kind, but Songpu Town's confidence was anxious, could it be that Zheng Zhilong could continue to endure it?

And Zheng Zhilong's next sentence made him breathe a sigh of relief, "You just watched it carefully on the boat, and watched how I dismantled the forts on Burning Incense Island and Gaohoku Island." ”

It is still the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, 1645 in the Western calendar, not ten years later. Historically, in the second year of the Shoo reign (1653), the lord of the Hirado domain, Matsuura Jinnobu, was instructed to set up forts in seven places: Takotsu, Megami, Kanzaki, Shirasaki, Takahoko, Nagatoiwa, and Shadeo, and these forts were called "Koodaiba" or "Zailai Odaiba". Over the next 200 years, the shogunate repeatedly added forts to various prominent parts of Nagasaki, completely fortifying the port of Nagasaki. Even though this was not enough to stop the gunboat diplomacy of the Great Powers, and it was not enough to maintain the shogunate's crumbling lockdown system, the black ship attack still happened. But if the forts are densely packed in Nagasaki, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of inconvenience to Zheng Zhilong.

Now, it's much simpler.

The Japanese artillery on Yakika Island and Takahoko Island had a short range and little power, and the number of key guns was still small.

When the sail warships arrived between Yakika Island and Takahoko Island, and rows of cannonballs poured over the sea surface for about a mile onto the heads of the two forts, the people of Matsuura Town were dizzy.

The Matsuura family was the first person in Japan to taste the departure of the European warships, but he had never seen the shocking scene of more than a dozen warships lined up in a row, and hundreds of cannons on the left and right sides were released in turn.

The dense fire directly annihilated the two forts, as simple as an unstoppable flood destroying two houses.

"Matsuura-kun, you said that with my firepower, if I kill Edo Castle directly, will Tokugawa Iemitsu be frightened and flee?"

Looking at the rows of iron bullets that were poured onto the Japanese forts, Zheng Zhilong's heart felt a comfortable taste that others could not experience. He chuckled at Matsuura Shinshin, who had a heavy face next to him, and there was an unspeakable presumptuousness in his tone.

"Zheng Jun, even if it stinks, it is a sea bream (Japanese proverb, which means that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse). Japan is a small country, but it is also a country. With a population of nearly 20 million, there are hundreds of thousands of samurai. It's not something you can easily challenge! ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Matsuura Zhenxin, a Japanese samurai? These guys are no different from the Eight Banners in history. In the years of Chengping, the combat effectiveness has degenerated very much. The suppression of the Shimabara Rebellion of Amakusa Shiro was quite humiliating for the soldiers of the Kyushu feudal domains and the shogunate army. By the end of the shogunate, the flags directly under the shogunate had already been a bunch of rotten goods, and compared with the Eight Banners, it was only half a catty and eight taels.
