Yamamoto was on his battleship, and he looked at his opponent with a thunderous rage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They had already surrounded the Ming merchant ship, and even four more warships were about to approach it, and the rest only needed to throw the hook and climb up to cut off the Mingren's head, but unfortunately it turned out that his sailors were constantly being shot like dogs. Those condescending Ming people took the method of round shooting, hundreds of muskets kept spraying bullets downward, those heroic Japanese warriors, one by one screamed and fell in the gunshot, a few climbed up before they could wave their knives, and then they were directly stabbed down by guns, and what was even more terrible was that those Ming people took out a kind of small mallet, smoked and threw directly on their boats, and then bombarded half of the ship's sailors were blown up.

It's not a merchant ship, it's like a castle!

"Throw the oil!"

He gritted his teeth and yelled.

Throwing the oil bottle means that the ship will be burned, and the valuable cargo on the ship will only sink to the bottom of the sea, but if he doesn't throw it, it is estimated that the more than 300 people under his command will not be able to take the ship if they are all dead.

"People from the Shimazu family!"

Suddenly, a soldier beside him shouted.

Behind them, more than a dozen ships appeared, and although there were no signs on board, there was no need to guess to know that it was the Shimazu family who had come to pick up the goods.

"Don't worry about them, don't the people of the Shimazu family dare to rebel!"

Yamamoto said disdainfully.

He is the shogunate's sailor, if the Shimazu family dares to attack them, it is clear that they want to rebel, of course, the other party did not identify themselves, but this is close to Kagoshima, itself is the territory of the Shimazu family, the shogunate army captures smugglers, and is attacked by unknown armed forces here, then the Shimazu family will not escape the responsibility no matter what, the shogunate will still punish him, at least he has to cut the fief of the Shimazu family, as long as the people of Shimazu Tsunagui are not stupid, they will not do this.

And yet he was wrong, he was deeply wrong.

Just when two Japanese sailors bravely braved the bullets of the Ming people to throw out the oil bottles, and when a fire was ignited on the starboard side of the Fushun, suddenly a cannonball smashed on the side of the mountain itself, and the broken wood stirred up by the solid cannonball beat several sailors beside him into a mournful battle.

"Bastards, are they crazy?"

He watched in amazement as he watched the flames erupting from the Shimazu family's boats, screaming.

Crazy, of course.

As soon as I saw the fire on the Fushun, the eyes of the little dog who came to pick up the goods were red, this is worth a full 50,000 yuan! The total fiefdom of the Shimazu family is only 770,000 koku, which is less than 1 million kan when converted into money, which means that this is equivalent to one-twentieth of the annual output value of the Satsuma Domain.

Because of their participation in the war, the pressure on the sailors on the Fushun was greatly reduced, and they hurriedly threw out the latest rubber water pipe, and the water pressure on the rack pumped water quickly extinguished the starboard flame.

The shogunate navy, which had already suffered heavy casualties, was quickly wiped out under the attack on both sides, and the rest of the people who did not die were also taken prisoner, including Yamamoto, who also broke his leg by bullets, and then was pressed on the deck by two Shimazu family members, and the little dog exchanged glances with several of his subordinates, and then pulled out his sword, but just as he was about to cut down, he was stopped by the owner of the Fukushun who was watching the excitement.

"The bundle is strong, just give it to me!"

He said sinisterly.

Well, a total of eighty captives, including Yamamoto, were all tied up and thrown into the hold of the Fushun, and as for their destination, of course, it was somewhere in the Ming Dynasty or mine.

The Fushun, which was badly wounded, quickly completed the deal, and then did not dare to delay and returned as fast as possible, and five days later the scarred merchant ship appeared in Nanjing. Of course, the version of the incident had changed by this time, and it became that the legal merchant ship Fukushun was intercepted by the Japanese navy on the way to Nagasaki, and boarded the ship to extort money, and after being satisfied, saw that the ship was full of goods and tried to rob it. The crew of the Fushun fought to defend themselves, and finally escaped by abandoning all the cargo and losing weight, but not only did they lose all their cargo, but ten sailors were killed, more than 20 were wounded, and they were almost set on fire by Japanese sailors.

Then immediately after that, this incident caused an uproar in Daming.

In other words, at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty are already very clear about the strength of their country, what Portuguese and Dutch are all beaten all over the ground to find teeth, the Tartar is so strong, and the emperor was still caught to peel the skin and grass, such strength We don't bully people It's already very rare, a small Japanese country, actually dare to kill our people and rob our boats, this is to God!

Hit, beat!

Then almost all the newspapers in the Ming Dynasty had a single argument.

Crusade!

Defeat the Wa Kingdom!

Especially at present, the main part of the Ming Dynasty is actually Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially in southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, which is the core area of the Ming Dynasty, and this place has no good impression of the Japanese people.

And that's not all.

In recent years, the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have already passed through the experimental field of Goryeo, and understood what it means to dump a commodity, that is, a baby who eats grass and squeezes out milk, the people of Goryeo eat bran and swallow vegetables, as cattle and horses, and use their meager hard-earned money to buy cotton cloth and sugar from the hands of Ming merchants, even needle thread, brain, rouge and gouache have to be purchased from Ming merchants, a cow like this is insignificant, and a country is full of such cows, that is, a cornucopia. Relying on how many Ming merchants in Goryeo lived a good life of spending money.

But it's a pity that there is only one such good place.

Fortunately, the Ming army recently surrendered to Annam, and there are also the Spice Islands, which immediately made a large number of Ming merchants pounce like flies seeing blood, but this is far from enough, especially a country that is close at hand, has not yet become their cows, this country is the Japanese country, although there is a smuggling business, but compared with the full opening of the Japanese country, it is not a level at all, but the Tokugawa shogunate has always insisted on closing the country, and even Nagasaki trade has set a limit every year, which those Ming merchants have long been unbearable.

Now they're delivering it themselves.

In addition to the merchants, officials and the military were equally indignant.

The reason is simple.

Emperor Yang's enthronement ceremony is imminent, at this time the Japanese people are tantamount to a provocation, at this time they must be beaten, only by beating them can Emperor Yang be happy, in order to show the majesty of the Heavenly Empire.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty has never been keen on foreign wars, and even the last Ming army expedition to Nanyang still had a lot of criticism, this time the crusade against the Japanese State is actually a rare unanimous voice, the common people for feelings, businessmen for the sake of opening the door of the Japanese State, officials are to please Yang Feng, the army is for meritorious service, the whole country is shouting and beating, even the eunuchs in the palace are on duty in the teahouse, shouting and punishing the violent Japanese, which is also eye-popping for China's folk customs.

Then the rest depends on Emperor Yang's decision.

"Order the Beiyang Fleet, go and admonish it first, don't say that we didn't give them a chance."

Yang Feng said.

"And what about the conditions requested?"

Liang Hong said.

"First of all, the Wa royal family must send prince-level members to apologize, I don't care about the messy relationship between their shogunate and the royal family, since the supreme ruler of the Wa Kingdom is the king in theory, then I must find the Wa King in this matter, and warn them, there is only the Wa King in front of me, don't use the emperor they have a false name to anger me!"

Yang Feng said.

This question must be clarified!

The Wa Kingdom is only a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no emperor, the emperor or something is their name, and they are too lazy to care about it behind closed doors to entertain themselves, but if they dare to take it to the public, they are looking for a fight.

"Second, of course, it is to compensate for the losses and punish the murderer, all the losses of the Fushun, the ship, the cargo, the treatment of the wounded, the bereavement of the dead, and the mental damages, all of which they have to compensate.

Third, the switch, open all the ports along the coast, allow the Ming merchants to trade freely, allow the Ming merchants to purchase industries, in short, Goryeo, how Annam treats the Ming merchants, they should also do the same, in addition, the Ming will send the prime minister to the Ming country, and the people of the Ming Dynasty enjoy extraterritoriality in the country, which is also to avoid similar tragedies in the future.

Fourth, arrest the Dutch on the island and hand them over to us, as a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, during the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, the Dutch were actually allowed to live, this is simply inexplicable, do they still have the emperor of the Heavenly Empire? Do you really think that I don't know if it's far away? ”

Yang Feng continued.

Dejima is a small artificial island reclaimed from Nagasaki, which is the size of two football fields, but it is currently the only place east of the Strait of Malacca where the Dutch flag is hung, which is specially set aside by the Japanese country for Dutch merchants to live, and now all the Dutch strongholds on the Spice Islands have been taken by Luo Zhang's expeditionary force, and there is still the only Dutch settlement left in the whole East Asia.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid they won't agree to this, three or two."

Liang Hong said.

That's for sure, it should be fine to have the Tokugawa family send someone to apologize, but it is completely impossible to have the emperor send someone to apologize.

As for the third article, it is even more unlikely, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi did this, one of the purposes is to cut off the trade between the two sides, to avoid the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo becoming the same as the Ming Dynasty's cows, to avoid the continuous flow of domestic precious metals, in the past, there was only Nagasaki this small opening, and smuggling is just a few rat holes, even if the outflow speed is very slow, but the promise of the third is to blow up the dam himself, so that the wealth of the Wa State will directly surge out.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi wouldn't be so stupid.

"Then beat them up!"

Yang Feng said domineeringly.

"Spread my will, all the Beiyang Fleet will be dispatched, the target is Edo, and also, order all the warships to be painted black for me!"

Then he added. (To be continued.) )
