Chapter 741: Kagoshima Town

The sun rises in the east, warming the land again.

However, the port of Fangjin was full of cold corpses, and the wreckage of the warship was still billowing with smoke, telling the tragic situation of last night.

The attackers are long gone, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for here.

Wow... Wow... A small paddle boat cruises on the surface of the sea.

"Hurry up! Fast! Ya Meng Shigenaga urged in the small boat, he had only received the news this morning that the Hosokawa Navy had invaded in a big way, and was wreaking havoc in the open sea.

The reason why it was so certain that the Hosokawa naval army did not enter Kagoshima Bay was because his family's home city, Osumi Tomita Castle, and Satsuma Toyakura Castle on the opposite side were across the sea, and they jointly monitored the estuary of Kagoshima Bay.

"Hurry up! Paddle faster! Tell the lord sooner! Let the lord evacuate as soon as possible! Yameshige looked at Tomita Castle behind him, and guessed in his heart where the Hosokawa Navy had gone.

Wow... Wow... The waves were rough, and from the west of the Satsuma Peninsula, fierce warships emerged. Suddenly, the bow of the ship hit and plunged directly into Kagoshima Bay!

"Not good! It's Hosokawa Marine! Fast! Splash! "The hairs stood on end, it was too sudden.

Whoa... The boat rowed desperately, trying to get rid of the sea beast behind it.

"Wow! Wow! Look! The defenders on both sides of the strait saw the black and oppressive warships, and felt their scalps tingle, they had never seen such a large fleet before, and they couldn't help but lose the heart of fighting in their hearts.

Wow... Wow... The Hosokawa naval army passed through with such a big thorn, completely ignoring the fortresses on both sides of the river, because the enemy could only sigh and sigh, and he could not fight here at all.

"Quick! Come on! Ya Yu Chongchang simply started by himself, and paddled frantically with a small pulp.

Whoa... The small boat is in front, the big boat is behind, just like a small fish being chased by a big shark, gradually... Gradually...

"Wow, ahhhh Boom! The boat in which Ya was riding was directly disintegrated by the collision, and all the people on board fell into the water.

Gollum..."Woo Pur Pur..."Wearing heavy armor, as soon as he entered the water, he was like a weighing stone, and he bubbled and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Hahaha!" Hosokawa Ashigaru on the warship laughed and watched the people in the sea struggle one by one.

"Come on! I'm betting ten cents! Watch me blow that guy's head out! Who bet on me! A Hosokawa sailor picked up an iron cannon and aimed it at an enemy in the sea who could swim.

"Hahaha! I'll bet with you! "Me too!" Whoa... The others followed to watch the excitement and scattered pieces of copper coins to make a fuss. Recently, they have won one after another, and they are all hanging, which has made them a little carried away.

"Bastard! What are you doing! Forgot about military discipline! Forgot about the ban on gambling! Nine Ghost Yuanlong came over with a group of people, and when he saw that he had started to bet and gamble here, he couldn't help but be furious, and kicked down the ashigaru who committed the crime one by one: "Bastard! Bastard! ”

"I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" As soon as he was kicked down, he quickly turned over and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.

There is a clause in the military order: it is strictly forbidden to gamble on the ship.

"Humph! Forfeiture of gambling funds! Half a year fine! Set an example! "Nine Ghost Yuan Long did things according to the rules and showed no mercy.

"Yes!" "Yes!" Those who make mistakes are reckless and accept punishment, and they are also on a whim and forget discipline.

"Go down!" Nine Ghost Yuan shouted back, walked to the side of the boat, and looked down at the few people who were still struggling in the sea.

"Remember! It's war! It's not you who die! It's my life! Don't leave anything to chance! Beware of being bitten back by the enemy! Nine Ghost Yuanlong lectured all the officers and soldiers, and with a final wave of his hand, a drainage army held an iron cannon and aimed it at the enemy in the sea.

"Wow!" When the people in the sea saw this posture on the boat, they were so frightened that they desperately swam out, trying to escape from here.

"Shoot! Destroy them! Without hesitation, Nine Ghost Yuanlong gave the order to shoot.

Bang bang bang! A line of green smoke rose from it, and a piece of lead bullet hit the sea, stirring up tiny columns of water.

Poof! "Ugh!" "Ahh The body of the man in the sea twitched, and a trace of blood mist was scattered, and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Keep going! Target! Satsuma Inner Castle! Nine Ghost Mototaka nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes looked firmly at an island in the distance, which was Sakura Island.

Sakurajima is bordered by the Osumi Peninsula to the east and the Satsuma Peninsula to the west, and Kagoshima Bay is surrounded by east, west, north and south. Don't look at it as Sakurajima, but it actually has nothing to do with cherry blossoms, and it is also an active volcano, and volcanic activity is still very active, erupting every one or two hundred years.

A large eruption occurred hundreds of years later, when a large amount of magma flowed into and filled the eastern strait, connecting Sakurajima, which had been an isolated island, to the Osumi Peninsula.

Overall, the Sakurajima volcano is composed of Mt. Kitatake (1,117 meters above sea level), Mt. Nakadake (1,060 meters above sea level), and Mount Minami (1,040 meters above sea level), covering an area of about 77 square kilometers. This kind of landmark is easy to distinguish from the sea, especially the inland sea, which is simply too conspicuous.

Rushing... With this as their goal, the Hosokawa sailed to the west of Sakurajima. On the other side of the river, eight miles away, is the inner castle of the Satsuma Shimazu family.

The inner castle was built in 1550 (Astronomical 19) when Takahisa Shimazu moved from Ijiin Castle to Kagoshima and built the inner castle as the main castle of the Shimazu family. Takahisa Shimazu, the fifteenth governor of the Shimazu clan, is known as the "master of the Shimazu family".

At this time, the inner city is naturally the residence of the current head of the family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, and at this time, Yoshihisa and his younger brother Suihisa are discussing how to deal with the Hosokawa family.

On top of the high turret of the castle wall, the guards are on duty, looking at the bustling castle town: Kagoshima Town, which is also a unique scenery.

Kagoshima Town is a bustling port trading town, and there is a constant flow of merchant ships coming and going, providing a steady stream of money for the Shimazu family.

"Come on! Take a look and take a look! The best cloth! "Preserves! Candied! Kyoto preserves! "The town's commercial houses are full of shacks and crowds, and today is a big gathering once every 10 days, so it's very lively.

"Huh? Look there! What a big ship! Is there something good coming again? Suddenly, a merchant saw a Nanban warship floating on the sea, and from a distance, he could see its huge size.

"Come on! Come on! I don't know what it is! But at a glance, you know that it must be a huge amount of good goods! Another merchant led a dozen men to the harbor to await the first order of business, thinking himself shrewd.

"Sun Liu, look at the sea! Look at the specifications of the merchant ship from Sakai Town! "With such a big ship, naturally it can't escape the eyes of the inner city guards.

"Yes, the goods must be of the highest quality. Hey? It seems that there is more than one, look at the back, and..."Sun Liu just sighed, but immediately widened his eyes, grew his mouth, and was speechless for a long time in surprise.

"It's... Be... Be... Enemy attack! Sun Liu let out an earth-shattering scream, and he saw the dense warships, and... There are Hosokawa pine and diamond patterns fluttering on it... I want to talk about "Mortals Through the Law of Survival" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
