Chapter 567: God's Forsaken Land (Page 1/1)

After the Shimazu family got Zhang Dou's promise, they no longer looked down on the small place of Wajima. He also respected Tokugawa Tadanaga a lot and made him the shogun of the shogunate.

Two big generals appeared in the tiny Wajima, which made the turbulent Wajima even more chaotic.

Although Tokugawa Tadanaga was never canonized by the emperor, everyone knew what the emperor was like. If you are poor, you have to embroider or sell calligraphy and paintings to make a living, so how can you not agree to Tokugawa Tadanaga's request?

At least one more income will not starve to death in the palace.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was already busy rebuilding Edo Castle, and suddenly heard that his uncle was still alive and went to Kagoshima to become a shogun.

Immediately, he was angry and wanted to lead the troops to immediately eliminate the Samoto who was always blocking him, but he immediately calmed down.

It was so strange that Tokugawa Tadanaga appeared in Kagoshima, and the massacre of Edo Castle was miraculously avoided by Tokugawa Tadanaga, and he was able to cross the entire main island to reach Kyushu. In the end, he also got the support of Samoto and became a general.

If you want to say that there is no conspiracy here, you don't believe it if you kill Tokugawa Iemitsu. There is obviously a shadow of pirates in this, could it be that the pirates are in league with the Shimazu family of Samosa?

The thought of this made a cold sweat break out on his back. The timing was too coincidental, he had just taken his family's troops away, and the pirates immediately attacked Edo Castle.

To say that there was no collusion between the pirates and Samoto would never have been so tacit. After many inquiries, Tokugawa Iemitsu finally learned the location of the pirates, Jeju Island in North Korea.

And there seems to be a marquis of the Ming Empire standing behind the pirates, could it be that the Ming Dynasty is behind the ghost to take revenge for the First World War in Korea.

Then Tokugawa Iemitsu himself denied this idea, if the Ming Empire had this strength, it would have beaten the barbarians in the north so long ago that it could not find the north, how could it be suppressed by the barbarians.

He couldn't retaliate against Satsuma on Jiuzhou Island, and the samurai of his family suffered heavy losses. There could no longer be any accidents, and many Qiangbo had begun to follow the example of Satsuma, disobeying the orders of the shogunate.

In this regard, Tokugawa Iemitsu can only choose to be patient, he wants to accumulate strength and then destroy the disobedient forces in one fell swoop.

In addition, the defense of Edo Bay must be strengthened, and pirates must not be allowed to come and go as soon as they want. He was to build a series of forts on both sides of the Uraga waterway, and if the pirates dared to come to Edo Bay again, they would never return.

The fire of Edo Castle burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished, and what bothered Tokugawa Iemitsu was the black liquid. Even after burning, it still seeps deep into the ground.

The entire Edo Castle waste was filled with a foul smell, and the most terrifying thing was that the well water in Edo Castle had changed color. Watering the flowers with this well water for a few days will make the leaves wither, and who would dare to drink such water.

In addition, rumors quickly spread in the Wa Kingdom that Tokugawa Iemitsu had been spurned by Amaterasu, and Edo Castle had been cursed and became a god-forsaken place.

There will be no grass there, and it will become a place of spurning for the gods. And Tokugawa Iemitsu is the culprit, peeking at a woman taking a bath at the age of three, forcibly falling into a mature woman at the age of four, and ...... at the age of five.

Don't care if you have it or not, just press all the bad things on the Tokugawa iemitsu, or how can you be spurned by Amaterasu at a young age?

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu hates pirates even more, although he can't directly seek revenge from the Marquis of the Ming Empire, but there is no problem in cleaning up the pirates who occupy Korea!

By the way, you can also grab another big island, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. But to clean up the pirates, you have to have a ship! Relying on the Japanese ships alone is simply sending people away, and if you want to defeat the pirates, you need large plywood ships.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was rebuilding Edo Castle twenty miles next to Edo Castle while contacting the Dutch people.

But he miscalculated the power of heavy oil, which seeps into the ground and pollutes groundwater. Edo Castle was deprived of vegetation for decades, and all the surrounding groundwater was affected.

Long-term use of this total water can produce a variety of diseases, newborn baby malformations, and these are all long-term effects. Later, the newly built Edo Castle was plagued by strange deaths, and people began to leave the castle one after another, and Edo, the famous capital of the Japanese kingdom for later generations, became truly deserted.

In retaliation for the pirates, Tokugawa Iemitsu took out almost all of his possessions, and ordered the Wakoku gold and silver mines to increase production. If he fails to complete the tasks he has assigned, he will be punished, and the mines everywhere can only transfer the pressure to the absenteeism, and the number of absenteeism who are exhausted to death will increase exponentially.

The Yokosuka Shipyard was reopened, and shipbuilders from all over the country were concentrated here. However, Tokugawa Iemitsu soon discovered that only a few craftsmen who could build plywood ships remained, and the rest were captured by pirates.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had no choice, could only build and buy warships from the Dutch at the same time. Five warships of more than 400 tons almost made Tokugawa Iemitsu feel distressed to death, especially the expensive guns of the ships are terrifying.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of craftsmen in the Wa country, as long as you work hard, the cottage can always succeed. Tokugawa Iemitsu had already given a death order to the Yokosuka Shipyard that more than 20 warships must be launched in a year, otherwise they would immediately come to see him.

After doing these things, the Tokugawa shogunate's family was emptied, and Tokugawa Iemitsu began to recharge his energy and train soldiers. He wants to teach pirates a profound lesson next year, and he will not give up until he takes revenge on Edo Castle.

……

After the Taiyuan Island Tamsui Shipyard obtained a large number of Japanese craftsmen, the progress was greatly accelerated. It not only meets the needs of the navy, but also further finalizes a new type of armed merchant ship.

The displacement of this new type of armed merchant ship was nearly 400 tons, and the planks of less than a foot made this sailing ship about the size of a 500-ton warship.

The main thing is that it adopts a combination of Eastern and Western shipbuilding technology, both with a keel that runs through the hull and the addition of a watertight compartment.

Its ribs are not as thick and dense as those of the Galen ship, and the watertight compartment is not as many as the Fu ship, which is completely a combination of the advantages of the existing Galen ship and the Fu ship.

The disadvantages are also very obvious, the sinking resistance is not as good as the Fu ship, and it is not as strong as the Galen ship. If it is used on a battleship, it is completely useless.

But the main purpose of such a ship was not to fight wars, and it was only equipped with ten guns on the top deck.

This kind of ship should still be used to transport goods, and the bow and stern buildings should be removed to make the hull more suitable for sea navigation.

The three mainmasts on the hull and the spinnakers on the two auxiliary masts provided enough power to the hull. The speed of the nine knots was enough to escape even if it could not be defeated by the Galen battleship.

This latest type of armed merchant ship was named the Walrus-class armed merchant ship, and once it was finalized, a large number of orders were received.
