The Black Armor Army fleet was blown to the coast of Japan's Honshu Island by a storm, and during this time period, the sea was closed to navigation, so after the storm, the huge fleet of the Black Armor Army seemed to have come to the light tsu place of the Mutsu country overnight, and Yang Wenli ordered the fleet to continue to move forward, crossing the narrow light tsu strait, and arriving at the destination that Yang Wenli thought of, Ezo Island.

Although Ezo Island was not occupied by Japan at this time, in the southern part of Ezo Domain, a small area of the Toshima Peninsula, there was already a Japanese land, which was the territory of the Matsumae Domain, from the first generation of the head of the family, Matsumae Keihiro, who became independent from the Ando family and founded the Matsumae Domain, to the second generation of the head of the family, Matsumae Kohiro, has always monopolized the right to trade in Ezo Island's seafood and other specialties.

When the Black Armor Army fleet suddenly appeared in the waters off the coast of Ezo Island, it immediately frightened the Japanese people of the Matsumae Domain, two hundred warships, for them, is already a force that can destroy the country and destroy the family, of course, the so-called small country of small Japan is a big place.

The Matsumae Domain hurriedly sent sailors and dispatched them, but they only gathered twenty or thirty boats of different sizes and headed towards the Black Armor Naval Division, although this was a mantis arm blocking the car, but Ezo Island was the territory of the Matsumae Domain, and they had to face a strong enemy.

Woowoowoo......

In the open sea, a loud bull's horn sounded in the fleet, which was the horn of the enemy to be found.

The generals who stayed in the cabin drinking tea and chatting immediately rushed out of the cabin and picked up binoculars to observe. I saw a large group of about twenty or thirty warships sailing near the land and sea, waving flags, and if you look closely, you can see that Matsumae and Shima are guarding the flags of these two different Chinese characters.

All the people in the fleet, including Yang Wenli, didn't know anything about the major names in northern Japan, but Yang Wenli still ordered loudly: "Come on, order Yang Renri to lead the warship to go out on guard, and in case of attack, you can immediately counterattack." ”

The appearance of the enemy caused all the personnel in the flotilla who had been sitting on the ship for nearly 20 days to immediately get their adrenophores vigorated, and one by one they were like they had taken stimulants, and they no longer looked like they were sick.

"Where? Show me. Xiao Yan'er, who was beside Yang Wenli, excitedly stretched out her hand to telescope.

"Hello! Here you go, look at the one who makes you happy, the other party is not good, understand? ”

Xiao Yan'er didn't reply, but grimaced at him, stuck out her tongue, raised a telescope about the size of her face, and observed it carefully, and the next second, she screamed.

"Ahh Xianggong, they are building artillery, and they will definitely attack us. ”

"Don't be afraid, I've already ordered Ren Ri to go out on guard, as long as they dare to attack us, I will let them taste the power of explosive bombs." Yang Wenli replied disappreciatively.

Yang Renri, who was in front of the entire fleet, saw the command flag on the ship of the commander, and immediately ordered his subordinates to order the warships under him to come out of the ranks, and personally led the attack on the fleet to meet them.

When the attacking Japanese fleet was about two miles away from the warships, Yang Renri ordered the mortar team that had already been on standby: "Shoot a warning shell." ”

"Yes" The commander in charge of this mortar squad responded, and personally commanded a mortar: "The firing range is calibrated for 1,000 meters, and it is launched 2 degrees to the left in front of it!" ”

The standard mortar formation is a five-man system, including the commander, just one soldier with five slaves, one of whom operates, one loads, two people are responsible for loading the launch tubes and detonators, and one person carries the shells.

A few seconds after the commander gave the order, the loader carefully aimed the shell at the barrel, and as soon as he let go, he immediately crouched down and avoided the side.

"Phew"......

About two seconds later, the mortar shell flew out of the barrel with a bright white flame tail, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and a few seconds later, the sea less than 100 meters in front of the Japanese warship in the distance splashed more than a kilometer, and then there was a dull explosion.

"Wave the flag, order the incoming ship to stop." Yang Renri ordered in a deep voice.

Because of the addition of regular troops such as Liu Xingzuo, the Black Armor Army perfected the rules of the order flag created by Yang Wenli indiscriminately, and the two flags were raised over their heads and waved crosswise, which meant that the order stopped.

This cannon of the Black Armor Army scared the Japanese people on the opposite side, and the cannonball could be blown up when it fell into the water? And it's very powerful, which is not much more advanced than the cannons of the Xiyi people.

Shiota Yoshiki, a retainer of the Matsumae Domain, was the general of the small sailor of the Matsumae Domain, and he looked at the cannonballs fired by the Aketo fleet on the opposite side, with a flaming tail, and fell in front of him in the blink of an eye, making a loud whistling sound, and exploding when he fell into the water, and the other side had as many as 200 ships, and the strength was terrifying, and it was not at all something that the small Matsumae Domain could resist.

Then he saw that the other party waved the flag to stop his side, so he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Hurry up and order the boat to stop, send an interpreter to take a small morning boat to the other party to inquire, remember, do not be unreasonable to the other party." ”

"Hai" The attendants beside him bowed in response to the order, and went to wave the flag and command the fleet.

In the Edo period, the shogun only allowed foreign trade between the ports of Nagasaki and Hirado, so in the northernmost part of Honshu Island, the Karumsu region and Ezo Island, there had never been a fleet of Aketo, and today it is a large fleet, which can be said to be a bad one.

The small morning boat is a small clipper, with 13 to 30 oars, and the boat is extremely fast, and dozens of sailors are rowing hard towards the opposing fleet.

When he arrived in front of a warship with a flag led by the other party, the Japanese interpreter stood at the bow of the ship and asked loudly: "May I ask if you are a Ming sailor?" What is the business trip to Fukuyama Castle of Matsuzen Domain? ”

It's really almost to the ground, and Yang Renri doesn't dare to reply, because it is easy to expose the military situation, and besides, he doesn't know anything about the Japanese Kingdom, and he doesn't know where Fushan Castle of Matsuzen Domain fell? So he himself stood at the bow of the ship and replied, "I can't answer your question, so I'll order you to be brought to my chief in person." ”

"Thank you very much!" When the Japanese interpreter heard that he could meet the leader of the other party directly, he bowed happily and thanked him.

Yang Renri's slaves boarded the Japanese boat, took them to the largest ship in the fleet, and through negotiations, he took the Japanese interpreter directly to Yang Wenli's ship.

After the interpreter got on the ship, he glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see that the ship, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, was full of powerful and strong ironclad elite soldiers, and there were hundreds of ironclad elite soldiers on a ship, all of them were tall and strong, far from being short and people could look up to.

"Get on your knees!"

The Japanese interpreter lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the soldiers with their faces full of flesh, and he followed the soldiers who led the way, and when he reached the cabin, he heard someone shouting at him.

"I am a messenger, and I am not subordinate to you, why do I kneel?" The interpreter argued with reason.

"Bold, in front of my great commander, even your emperor and general must kneel sincerely, what qualifications do you have not to kneel as a little messenger?" Zhou Shiji, who was sitting at the bottom of the hall, stood up and scolded the Japanese people.

"Joke, my emperor is on the same level as the Ming Emperor, dare to ask if His Excellency the Great Commander is still higher than the Ming Emperor?" The Japanese interpreter was half angry by Zhou Shiji's words, the emperor was supreme in the eyes of the Japanese people, and the other party even asked the emperor to kneel down to see the so-called commander, so he straightened up and asked Zhou Shiji angrily.

"You are a small country, there are only 10 million people, your emperor is just a puppet with no name and power, and you dare to compete with my Ming Emperor? I don't know if I'm alive or dead......"

"Slow" Yang Wenli spoke up to stop Zhou Shiji's aggressive words, and asked the Japanese interpreter: "Who are you the messenger?" Such a proud tone? ”

Although Yang Wenli's voice was soft, as soon as he spoke, Zhou Shiji immediately shut up, obviously the great commander was undoubted, and the Japanese interpreter looked at it fixedly, only to see a person sitting at the top of the head, tall and strong, that face was not angry and arrogant, a pair of eyes, bottomless, as if he could see through people's hearts at a glance, he hurriedly bowed his head to avoid, bowed deeply and replied: "Under the rule of the former clan of Xia Namatsu, I dare not be arrogant, but I am a messenger, on behalf of the head of my family, naturally I can't kneel to see His Excellency the Great Commander, please forgive me!" ”

"Matsumae Domain?" ……
