In the mansion of the lord of the Hirado Domain, Matsuura Kushin had a gloomy face and was in an extremely bad mood, and Nakamura Masayoshi next to him did not have the previous ease and leisure, because the attack was frustrated again and again, and he had already lost two or three thousand people, and now he did not dare to attack again, and he needed to come up with effective countermeasures.

Nakamura Masakachi said slowly: "I didn't think about it, these Ming Dynasty soldiers are so powerful, they actually repelled our attacks several times, it seems that we need to adjust our strategy." ”

There was a military general, who was still wounded, and he had just come down from the battlefield in front of him, and hurriedly corrected: "Your Excellency Nakamura, these people don't seem to be Ming Dynasty soldiers, they seem to be Korean soldiers." ”

North Korean soldiers!

Impossible!

When can the North Korean soldiers be so powerful, in the eyes of the Japanese, North Korea has always been a soft persimmon, and they can pinch it as much as they want.

Matsuura Jiuxin didn't believe it either, and immediately said: "Impossible, it's definitely not a North Korean soldier, we all know what a North Korean soldier looks like." ”

The thousands of soldiers at the dock, uniformly gray cloth armor, equipped with muskets, wearing iron helmets, neat military appearance, combat effectiveness is even better, several times defeated the attack of the Japanese soldiers, Matsuura Kushin did not believe it, Nakamura Masayoshi did not believe it, and looked at this Japanese general.

The Japanese military general said: "Your Excellency Nakamura, Your Excellency Matsuura, these people are really Korean soldiers, it seems that only a few commanders are military attaches of the Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is the Korean army composed of Koreans trained by Zhang Feng in Korea."

"Yaga!"

Whether it is Nakamura Masayoshi or Matsuura Kushin, the two are extremely angry, North Korea, who has always been a soft persimmon character, is now good, and they actually went to their own homeland and shot so many of their own people in Hirado Port, and the two of them are really difficult to accept from their hearts.

Nakamura Masayoshi said sharply: "Pass my order, concentrate artillery, and bombard the Hirado Port dock for me." ”

The military general just now hurriedly stopped it, and immediately said: "Your Excellency Nakamura, this is not good, because there are many large ships of the Ming Dynasty naval division moored near the dock, and these warships have artillery, and the caliber is large, the power is great, and the fight is far, many of our warriors were subjected to heavy artillery bombardment when attacking, and many of them were killed and wounded. ”

"Yaga! This damn Ming Dynasty sailor. Nakamura Masayoshi jumped to his feet in anger, since he couldn't use artillery, he could only think of other countermeasures, and it was obviously not possible to charge and attack like before, and he would suffer heavy casualties, and the Japanese finally realized the power of muskets.

Nakamura Masayoshi had 50,000 troops, because of the constraints of the docks, it could not be used, and only a few thousand people could be put into an attack, and often frustrated, and the battle was stalemate, although there were casualties on both sides, but the Korean army was supported by Zheng Chenggong's naval guns, and the casualties were significantly smaller.

………

Port of Shanghai.

Wang Chaoyong straddled a saber on his waist and a revolver on the other, followed behind Zhang Feng with his head held high, waited for two or three days, and finally set off.

The port of Shanghai was completely under martial law, and the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division were boarding the ships in an orderly manner, boarding the 3,000-material transport ships, in addition to the 3,000-material transport ships, there were also ships that had been repaired and renovated by the Shanghai Shipyard, which had been repaired and renovated and had been equipped with steam power and became steam-powered ships, this time playing the role of transport ships.

In the distance, a large fleet, this is Zhao Weibin's first fleet, two ironclad ships, more than a dozen 3,000 warships, plus 2,000 warships, the number of warships is nearly 30.

The task of the Second Fleet was to act as an escort to escort this huge convoy to Japan, and to dispatch an infantry division of more than 18,000 men at one time, and in addition, the second infantry division was to arrive in Shanghai by train, and in a few days, it would also board a ship in Shanghai port for Japan.

Another convoy, having transported two Korean regiments from the Korean port of Incheon to the port of Hirado, had already left the port of Hirado two days earlier and was expected to arrive at the port of Shanghai in a few days, and then transport several thousand men of the 2nd Infantry Division to Japan.

Zhang Feng's face was calm, in fact, he was slightly excited in his heart, it was the first time for such a big battle, Zhang Feng took Wang Chaoyong and a large group of officers to board the "Shanghai" ironclad ship next to the dock.

More than an hour later.

A whistle sounded, one by one large transport ships left the wharf of Shanghai Port, although the wharf is under martial law, but there are still many people outside the wharf, these people look at the situation around the wharf from afar, all of them are surprised.

"So many big ships, so many soldiers on board, is there going to be a big battle!"

"I guess it's going to be a big war, and I heard that the north is not at peace, so I guess I'm going to fight in the north by sea."

"Not necessarily, it's possible that it's not going to the north, it looks like it's going to North Korea."

"North Korea has been submitted, it can't be to go to North Korea."

“……”

Seeing that the battle was so big, so many people, and so many ships, many people were shocked and speculated, but everyone didn't think that this time Zhang Feng personally led the troops and went to neither the north nor Korea, but Japan.

The Art of War: Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise.

Zhang Feng planned to do so, taking advantage of the fierce fighting in the Hirado area, Zhang Feng pinched the time, gathered heavy troops, set off from Shanghai Port, and went straight to Edo, Japan.

Yes, the place Zhang Feng is going to is Edo, Japan, which is now Tokyo, Japan, where the Tokugawa shogunate is located.

No wonder Wang Chaoyong was so excited, it turned out that he was going to Edo, Japan, not to Hirado, Japan, no wonder Wang Chaoyong couldn't hold back for a long time, no wonder Zhang Feng mobilized so many ships and mobilized so many troops, it turned out that he wanted to take Edo directly.

No one would have thought about it, and the Japanese would never have thought that Zhang Feng's troops would make a dangerous move, taking advantage of the attention of the Japanese in the area of Hirado, Zhang Feng directly led his troops to prepare for the landing in Edo, Japan.

A large convoy of convoys, departing from the port of Shanghai, sailed towards Edo, Japan, under the escort of the First Fleet......

………

Edo, Japan, Tokugawa shogunate.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was listening to the report, a few days ago, there was a big battle in the Hirado Domain, and the battle situation had been reported here, and it was learned that only the Korean army that landed and participated in the battle, the first day was two Korean army, and the second day came another, a total of three Korean army, nearly 10,000 people.

North Korean!

I heard that it was the Koreans, not only Tokugawa Iemitsu, but also the rest of the Japanese generals, they were so angry in their hearts that they were so angry that in their eyes, North Korea was a soft persimmon that they could handle, and they didn't think about it, and now they actually rode on their heads, and killed many of their own people.

"Yaga, tell Nakamura that you must eliminate all these North Koreans at all costs." Tokugawa Iemitsu said angrily.

There was a military general next to him and said: "Your Excellency General, don't worry, Nakamura-kun has brought an army of 50,000 or 60,000, and he will definitely be able to destroy these Koreans, but it's just ......"

"Just what, say." Tokugawa Iemitsu asked in a deep voice.

The military general said: "These North Koreans are all firearms, and they have caused us such great losses, I think it is necessary, we have to come up with a way to deal with these firearms." ”

"Hmm." Tokugawa Ieko nodded, and then said, "Everyone, if you have any ideas, tell me." ”

The Japanese were discussing how to deal with the firearms of the Korean Legion, and it is estimated that Nakamura Masayoshi and Matsuura Kushin in Hirado were also racking their brains about how to deal with these firearms.

The battle had been going on for several days, and Nakamura Masayoshi had 50,000 men, but because he could not carry them out, he could only throw in a few thousand people at a time, and seven or eight thousand men could only reach the sky, so the attack was always frustrated.

On the one hand, the firearms of the Korean regiment were powerful, and on the other hand, the Chinese officers who led the troops were well commanded and made full use of their own advantages. In fact, the most important point is that there is the cover of naval guns, and Zheng Chenggong's fleet has been docked in the port of Hirado and has been providing artillery support for these Korean regiments.

As a result, the Japanese who attacked suffered a lot of casualties, tens of thousands of casualties within a few days, while the casualties of the Korean army were less than one-tenth of the Japanese.

………

Edo Bay.

This is a huge bay, later known as Tokyo Bay, early in the morning, the morning sun rises from the east, the sun shines on the sea, the sea breeze blows slightly, on the sea, you can vaguely see some fishing boats fishing, the entrance to Edo Bay, a large fleet has appeared.

This is Zhang Feng's fleet, dozens of large transport ships, under the escort of the Second Fleet, are driving into Edo Bay, so many ships, and each one is not small, the momentum is imposing, magnificent!

There were several Japanese fishermen on small fishing boats who were visibly frightened, and they had never seen such a scene in their lives, and they had never seen it in their lives.

"What's that!"

First of all, a middle-aged fisherman was so stunned that he didn't even grasp the fishing net in his hand, and fell directly into the sea, and the rest of the people soon found out.

"Oh my God, what's that!"

In extreme shock, these fishermen finally reacted, and they couldn't care about anything, threw away their things, rowed their boats, and ran as fast as they could.

Zhang Feng stood on the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, looking at the huge Edo Bay, as for those small fish and shrimp Zhang Feng was completely disdainful, as for the news leakage, Zhang Feng was not worried, no one's ship is as fast as a steam-powered ship, and it is too late to ventilate the news.

Even if you don't have to worry about the news, the fleet has already entered Tokyo Bay, and it won't be long before your own fleet arrives at the port of Edo and lands there.

Taking advantage of the defenselessness of the Japanese, he never imagined that he would appear in Edo, and this time, Zhang Feng seized a surprise, attacked them unprepared, and caught the Japanese off guard.

"Commander-in-chief, it's finally about to fight, it's all exciting to think about it!"

Yes, the imminent landing in Edo is indeed enough to make people's blood boil, Zhang Feng is not like this, his heart is excited, and he said loudly: "Pass my order, prepare for battle, as soon as you arrive at the port of Edo, land immediately, and take Edo Castle directly." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Chaoyong replied loudly, and the voice of the answer was full of excitement and uncontrollable excitement.

Zhang Feng came, with a large fleet, with the 1st Infantry Division, the fleet cleaved the waves, noticeably increased its speed, and sailed in the direction of Edo.

The order was given, and all the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division began to check their equipment and prepare to disembark for battle, while the sailors of the 1st Fleet took their positions, their shells loaded and ready for battle.
