Chapter 407: Spending money is also the purpose of war
Tokugawa Iemitsu's anger is understandable, they have never heard of a king who came to canonize someone else's country, and put forward a series of very excessive conditions, which is simply a bully.
The Chinese Dynasty, which has always only wanted to save face, has changed its past habits for the first time, and has come to give you enough face but hollow out your "canonization".
The battleships displayed outside the port of Nagasaki were a naked threat, and Tokugawa Iemitsu believed that it was time for a Great Patriotic War. He had the confidence to go to war with the Ming Dynasty because the Tokugawa shogunate had gone through three generations, and each of the generals was still competent, and Japan was coming out of the fatigue of the Warring States period.
Moreover, Japan's geographical location is unique, and it is destined to be rarely invaded by foreign enemies, and occasionally they take the initiative to attack in several foreign wars. If the flames of war do not burn on their own land, it is destined that the country will not feel the pain of the wounds of war.
Of course, the more important point is that Tokugawa Iemitsu was in Edo and did not see the fleet of the Daimei Navy Division on the sea. If he had seen it, he really didn't know if he would have had the courage to fight.
Of course, Zhu Dadian knew that such a canonization letter could not be exchanged for peace, but only for war. By the time he disembarkated the Dutch, he was ready to start the landing operation.
In July of the second year of Jing Yu, the first naval battle between China and Japan began, and it took less than a quarter of an hour for the Daming Navy Division to destroy all the Japanese warships in the port of Nagasaki.
One hundred and sixty warships, more than three thousand cannons, and endless ammunition were poured on the islands near Nagasaki, and the Mizuji battalion, under the cover of artillery fire, landed on Japanese territory for the first time.
In the Japanese army at this time, the popularity of firearms was relatively high, but it could only be a small thing to encounter the water word battalion.
The Shuizi battalion has always been ridiculed as an artillery battalion, except for Wu Yi who once led them to a bloody battle in Fujian, almost all of them relied on firearms to fight.
The Japanese soldiers in the port of Nagasaki were not afraid of death, and they charged into battle more bravely than Manchurian Jiannu, and rushed forward in batches of ammunition. Hundreds of warships lined up a salvo, although it was not a close-range shot with limited damage, but the accuracy was not enough to make up the number, and the landing point was still very dense. The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to rush to the seashore, and on the coast in the distance, the water-shaped battalion, all dressed in black clothes, had already rushed to the shore along the deck with the spirit turtle flag.
The Japanese soldiers were dressed in red armor, holding a longbow of human height in their hands, and a Japanese sword hanging from their waists. The most peculiar thing is that everyone has a bamboo pole with a long strip of flags on it, which is painted like mahjong tiles, and they have a cloth empty cylinder behind them, which is the unique "finger flag" of Japanese soldiers. This thing is mainly to distinguish who is your own people, Japan since the Muromachi shogunate era, the emperor has been a puppet, the shogun is also in power, the local princes are divided, but the small territory is divided into dozens of "countries", the rulers of these "countries" are called "daimyo", that is, the overlord of one side, has its own territory of personnel, finance, rule of law, military power, has an independent army.
On the other hand, the Japanese were very belligerent, and they had to fight with their neighbors every once in a while. When the army fights, everyone knows that uniform armor is the best, but as we all know, ancient Japan was very poor and extremely short of supplies, and it was almost impossible for the daimyo to equip every soldier with the same attire. In order not to cut their own people, this kind of finger flag came into being.
Looking at the eyes of the soldiers of the water character battalion, I felt that my heart was hairy, this thing was just like his mother's soul flag, not only let these veterans of the water character battalion think of some yin soldiers and ghost generals and the like, but also the height of the people at this time was extremely short, this is not the arrangement of the Chinese in later generations, it is really the Japanese at this time, and the word more than one meter and four is regarded as a burly man with a "tiger's back and a bear's waist".
"These little dwarfs are so tenacious, they are still rushing like this." Wu Yi rubbed his hands and said, he did not feel disdain because the Japanese soldiers were short. But from the point of view of this fearless charge, this group of people is worthy of respect, at least won the recognition of Wu Yi, the water tyrant of Taihu Lake.
Zhu Dadian knew something about Japan and said: "Like us, this place has been fighting for a long time and has just been quelled. Don't underestimate the journey of a hundred battles at any time, and bring out the cannon developed by the Matsue Naval Division. β
"Use a knife to kill chickens, it's too early to use that at this time, I'll meet them!" Wu Yi saw that he was happy, jumped off the deck, half-slipped into the water, and came to the shore. Behind him, the former Taihu Lake heroes, and now his subordinate generals have jumped into the water and killed towards the shore.
Under the cover of 3,000 cannons, the Mizuji battalion in front landed at the port of Nagasaki, and soon put on a mandarin duck formation that would shine in the Northern Expedition. The Japanese soldiers returned fire with throwing axes and firearms, and this set of formations invented by Qi Jiguang was to deal with the Japanese invaders. The Japanese came from Japan, and their tactics naturally followed the style of many Japanese soldiers. This time it happened to hit the iron plate, and the water battalion was surprised to find that his set of mandarin duck arrays was much better than usual.
The soldiers of the Water Battalion were divided into small teams, with sword and shield bearers in the front, musketeers in the center, and pikemen in the back. Slowly push forward to make room for the brothers in the back to land.
Wu Yi was excited by the tenacity of the Japanese soldiers, and his heart was agitated, and he pulled out his waist knife with his bare arms, and said with a cruel smile: "Brothers, kill, kill all these three inches." β
After the hand-to-hand encounter, the advantage of the Ming army's large number of soldiers was brought into play, and the dense spear tips of the pikemen reaped the lives of the Japanese soldiers whose armor covered very low. The people here are short of resources, and some people can't even wear clothes, let alone armor.
Wu Yi's blade is extremely thick, and he is fierce in the crowd, slashing left and right as if entering a no-man's land. There were a lot of Japanese soldiers who died under his knife around, and Rao was a fierce Japanese man with a fierce face, and he couldn't help but be afraid when he saw this tower-like man.
Blood stained Nagasaki Port red, Wu Yi looked at the corpses on the ground with a knife, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a group of good soldiers, but the disparity in strength is too great." β
Zhu Dadian said with a smile: "What, do you still expect them to be stronger?" β
"Haha, Wei Guogong laughed, the last general just thinks that these people are a bit brave."
Although the Japanese soldiers were brave, the difference in strength was too great, and Zhu Dadian did not spare his gunpowder and shells at all. Almost no money was poured into the enemy's ranks, and this battle was destined to be won by money from the beginning.
The first task of the sailor is to force the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate to agree to be canonized, and the second task is to use up the 20 million taels of military spending.
Zhu Dadian looked at the sky, it was still early, waved his hand and said, "Camp here tonight, and give the order to go down to build fortifications and barracks." β
