Yoshihiro Shimazu's time in Kagoshima was actually not easy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 A few years earlier, he had sent his general Kayama Hisataka to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then gradually took control of the country's power, and by virtue of his geographical advantage, he gained an even greater advantage in China's trade.

Some forces of the Ming Dynasty also silently signed trade agreements with him at that time. But in the years that followed, things changed imperceptibly.

The king of the Ryukyus found a colt surnamed Huang out of nowhere. Since then, all kinds of strange things have brought countless riches to the entire Ryukyu Islands. Subsequently, this wealth was transformed into countless merchant ships and experienced shipwrights. At this time, a steady stream of ship materials converged on Ryukyu Island. When the forces of all parties noticed that their sources of goods could also be transported, they realized that their monopoly on the original routes was already under threat.

But at this time, it is impossible to stop the opponent. Western-style shipbuilding technology developed so rapidly that even the shipwrights who had traveled thousands of miles to work here were full of praise for the new idea of the yellow horse. As a result, thanks to the convincing work of the craftsmen, new Galen ships became the main force of the Ryukyu fleet.

The new Galen ship has greatly improved its long-range sailing ability and maneuverability, and in addition, the cannons sold from Europe have also become the standard equipment on the warship, making the strength of the entire fleet become the hegemon of the East China Sea. There is no force that dares to challenge his existence easily.

Even the Shimazu family could only acquiesce to this powerful power to control the Ryukyus. The various forces along the coast of the Ming Dynasty even forgot about the Shimazu family in the north, and established close trade relations with the owners of this emerging power.

And shortly thereafter, Yan Siqi and others took the initiative to take refuge. Although Yan Siqi was not very old at the time, and his influence in the circle was even smaller, Boss Huang seemed to have the same goal as him.

Spurred on by this common goal, the two of them began to network more talents. This includes not only the north and the south, but even a large number of foreigners.

They even formed a powerful trading bloc, like the East India Company. At the same time, their infiltration of the Ming Dynasty was also going on frantically.

So, on the rivers and lakes of the Ming Dynasty, there is a powerful but erratic name, the Black Clothes Society.

With the help of the Black Clothes Society, more resources of the Ming Dynasty were in the hands of Boss Huang. Finally, he and Yan Siqi felt that the time had come and were ready to launch an action towards their common goal.

What is their common goal?

Shimazu Yoshihiro blushed: "It's us, Wakoku." ”

Now, the Galen fleet that appeared in Edo Bay has assembled in the waters off Kagoshima. It's just that this time it was not Kang Ning and Yan Siqi who led them, but the Ryukyu horses, the generals of the Great Emperor who were personally canonized.

The 500-ton Galen ship was constantly patrolling the periphery of Kagoshima. The Shimazu family has little advantage on the sea. But the army they once prepared to dominate the island of Kyushu is not dry.

So, Shimazu Yoshihiro took his son as the commander of the naval army and set out to meet the main force of the Ryukyu fleet led by Boss Huang himself.

Shimazu Iehisa has the same name as Shushu, and his name for martial arts spread on the battlefields of Korea when he was 14 years old. However, the other Shimazu family clearly lived in a more brilliant era and also had a more impressive life history. So, in later historical documents, people prefer to use an additional title for him rather than for his uncle.

The title was Shimazu Tadashi, a name he had used before. It was later changed to avoid the name of the shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada.

This is also something that can't be helped, who made their strength not as strong as the shogunate at the beginning?

And now, the shogunate has existed in name only. Their core characters are in Corning's hands. Boss Huang will not allow this group of people to continue to bounce on the balcony of the Wa Kingdom. For this destined rival, Shimazu Tadashi still has a certain understanding.

Ever since they discovered that the best opportunity to snuff it out in the cradle had been missed, they knew their opponents all the time. But unfortunately, the opponent is still surrounded by countless mysterious auras.

Before they knew each other, the two sides went to the battlefield of a duel. Shimazu doesn't know if this is a bad thing. Because in his opinion, if the front and rear of the car know about Boss Huang, they may not even have enough courage to face him.

But in any case, the marine fish in this sea area will get a hearty meal in the near future. Provided that they are not affected in the war.

The sailors were busy manipulating the sails, and the gunners were already aiming at the target, but unfortunately their range was not enough.

Tadashi Shimazu is looking for an opportunity to get closer.

At this time, a layer of white beating water suddenly exploded on the surface of the sea, like a strong whirlwind that rotated when dozens of East China Sea Dragon King Machines absorbed water.

Shimazu Tadashi naturally didn't think that His Royal Highness the Dragon King was interested in raining at this time. If you're lucky enough to get a free ticket, why don't you seize the opportunity to enjoy the second-largest naval war in human history?

After all, the other side has already opened fire. Otherwise, where did this white spray come from?

- It's really disgusting, the enemy's advantage in range is too obvious.

Although this second is too far behind the first, and the main contribution also comes from the size of Boss Huang's fleet, this does not hinder the cruelty of the war. Compared with the battle of Lulianghai, the artillery fire in front of you can determine the fate of the entire Wa Kingdom.

"Turn the bow of the ship and charge!"

Since they are far from each other in range, Shimazu Tadashi can only fight for his life and rush in to fight with the other party, striving for victory in a chaos.

Boss Huang guessed Shimazu Tadashi's thoughts. In its original history, such tactics have indeed been successful.

As a sailing enthusiast, Boss Huang could not forget Tegethoff in the Battle of Lisa. It was he who decisively abandoned the battle line and rushed directly into the Italian naval formation, and tried to command the ship Ferdinand Maximilian and rammed the opponent's flagship Italia, causing the opponent to be silent. After that, the Italian navy retreated to the west.

Tegethof's Austro-Hungarian fleet was thus victorious. However, this does not mean that the same tactics will always succeed.

You must know that during the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Empire once followed suit. But after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese fleet won the final victory with rapid-fire guns. After that, the European and American powers turned to the use of rapid-fire guns in naval warfare.

One is to learn advanced, the other is to lead the fashion, the difference is only in independent innovation. But failure is failure after all.

However, success also becomes success after all.

Boss Huang has the ambition to give the Wa State a naval battle in the Yellow Sea. Since you, Shimazu Tadashi, are trying to win in the chaos, don't blame me for leaving the name of the victor in this battle in my textbooks.
