Chapter 611: Atsugi (Page 1/1)

Tokugawa Iemitsu also knew that the training of the sailor could not be completed overnight, and he also knew that he was indeed in a hurry.

Just telling Shibata Oku to hurry up and train the sailor, he is busy with other things. But what he was worried about really happened, and when someone came to report that a large number of warships had been found off the coast of Edo Bay, Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately couldn't sit still.

The sailors who had been built with all the money of the shogunate were not useful, and if they went to sea to fight the pirates, it would be tantamount to killing themselves.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered Shibata Oku to stay in Edo Bay no matter what, and on the other hand, he issued a strict order to the Uraga Suido Fort that even if the last man was killed, he was not allowed to take half a step back.

At the same time, Tokugawa Iemitsu also summoned his own samurai to gather at Edo Castle, and even if the pirate ships could enter Edo Bay, they could not burn Edo Castle again.

The construction of New Edo Castle was for the Tokugawa family to show their strength to the entire Wa Kingdom, and to tell those with ulterior motives that the Tokugawa family was an invincible existence.

If the newly built Edo Castle were destroyed again, the Tokugawa family would be in danger. The Wa Kingdom will not allow a family that has repeatedly lost its main city to rule the Wa Kingdom, and at that time, I am afraid that the disaster of the Wa Kingdom will befall the Wa Kingdom.

Zhang Dou only let the battleships test the batteries on both sides of the Uraga waterway, and then gave up the plan to attack from here.

The Tokugawa family spent a lot of money on forts scattered throughout the Uraga waterway, and even if the Nagako army's naval guns were sharp, they would not be able to gain more than they would lose if they could penetrate Edo Bay.

After a tentative attack, and after a Moby Dick battleship was damaged, Zhang Dou chose to retreat temporarily.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's confidence in successfully repelling the pirates boosted his confidence and he saw the hope of victory, and felt that he had made the right choice to make a desperate attempt to build a sailor.

The shogunate even declared this victory as a great victory in Edo, claiming to have repelled several attacks by pirates, and sank and damaged dozens of pirate warships, and the pirates suffered heavy casualties, and their corpses were covered with the Uraga waterway.

Under the unremitting propaganda of the Edo shogunate, the ordinary people of the Wa Kingdom were convinced. They applauded the death and injury of the pirates, and some even set off firecrackers to celebrate, and worshiped the shogun to the extreme.

While the Japanese were happily celebrating their victory, the Nagasei fleet came to Chigasaki in Odawara.

The Changxing army successfully landed at Chigasaki with almost no decent resistance, and the Wa Kingdom was beaten and caught off guard by the Changxing army before they could celebrate their victory.

It wasn't until after the Changxing army landed that the Japanese realized one thing~ The pirates are coming!

The Chohei army unloaded a total of 1,500 cavalry, 4,000 musketeers, and 2,000 soldiers of the death brigade here in Chigasaki, and then the navy moved to block the Edo Bay naval division outside the Uraga waterway.

Zhang Dou sat on his war horse in iron armor, observing the map drawn by the shadow in his hand. From Chigasaki, as long as you attack Atsugi and Moshihara, you can directly kill Edo Castle, and then everything that Tokugawa Iemitsu has arranged in the Uraga waterway will become a decoration.

Zhang Dou, who had finished reading the map, waved his hand, and thousands of Changxing troops marched towards Atsugi Castle in a neat line. Along the way, the Japanese fled when they heard the news, and they did not dare to stop the Changxing army at all.

Due to the sudden landing of the Changxing army in the Wa Kingdom, the Wa people were not prepared at all. The fleeing Japanese left a large amount of supplies for the Changxing army, and the supplies carried by the Changxing army themselves were almost useless, and they easily harvested a large amount of food.

Those young and strong Japanese who did not have time to escape were even captured by the Changxing army to transport heavy equipment, and on the road to Atsugi, you can see Japanese people pushing artillery with all their might.

The soldiers of the death brigade guarding them did not pity the Japanese people at all, and whipped them vigorously on the backs of those who wanted to stop and rest, and the screams continued on the whole road, and some of the fallen Japanese were casually abandoned on the side of the road.

Zhang Dou turned a blind eye to this, and was able to use the Japanese to carry equipment, so that the soldiers of the Changxing Army could save their physical strength. As for the life and death of the Japanese people, what happened to Guan Changxingjun?

The news of the pirate's landing in Chigasaki reached the ears of Okubo, who was loyal to Kono-no-no, and almost scared him away. He had only accepted the position of his grandfather Okubo as the lord of the Rinbo for a few years, and he had just sorted out everything in his territory, and he had just begun to enjoy facing the murderous pirates.

Okubo Tadashi immediately panicked. He didn't think he could beat the ferocious pirates, and the city of Edo had already fallen, so how could he repel the pirates!

At the thought of the pirate's menacing attack, Okubo couldn't sit still. He hurriedly asked people to prepare a car and go to the temple in the city.

When he hurried to the backyard of the monastery, he saw an old monk with a wrinkled face, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Grandfather! The Okubo family is in a catastrophe, and I ask my grandfather to teach me what to do, so please grandfather! ”

This man is none other than Tadaharin Okubo. He was a close attendant of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first head of the shogunate, and the elder of Tokugawa Hidetada. It can be said that he was the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Tokugawa family, and if he hadn't been implicated in his later years, he would probably be an important minister of the shogunate now.

Although the seventy-year-old Okubo Tadaharin has a pale face, his spirit is still strong. looked at his grandson, who was already six gods and no master, and shook his head helplessly.

He sighed and said, "Faithful! I was loyal to the Tokugawa family during the Okubo family's time, and it was natural that I would have to resist the attack of pirates. However, the pirates are ferocious, and the Okubo family has suffered heavy losses, and there is no way to resist it! ”

Hearing his grandfather's words, Okubo asked with some confusion, "Grandfather! Do you mean to let us fight off the pirates with all our might? The pirates are ferocious, and even if the Okubo family is gone, it may not be able to stop the pirates? After defeating the samurai of the family, what will you do to maintain Odawara? ”

Okubo Tadaharin angrily rebuked: "Who said that you need your own samurai to resist pirates, aren't those banners and ashigaru people?" After scolding, Okubo Tadaharin closed his eyes and remained silent.

After listening to his grandfather's reprimand, Okubo quickly understood. He bowed out of the backyard and returned home without the panicked expression he had just had.

……

Zhang Dou advanced towards Atsugi Castle, but due to the heavy artillery he carried, the speed of the march could not be increased at all.

To his surprise, the Changxing Army, which was ready to deal with the harassment of the Japanese people, did not encounter any resistance.

This made Bayan, who was holding back enough energy and wanted to do a big job, a little discouraged, could it be that the Japanese were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out and make trouble?

With doubts, the Changxing army finally came to the first destination of their trip~ Atsugi.

When he arrived at Atsugi Castle, Zhang Dou realized that there had been a lot of Japanese flags, samurai and ashigaru gathered here.

Tents had been set up outside the city, and the large camps were large enough to reach 10,000 people. No wonder the Japanese did not harass them, and originally concentrated their forces here.
