Chapter 266: Capturing the Port of Nagasaki

Nagasaki Port, Navy Officers' Quarters.

The crisp sound of gunfire woke Heihachiro Togo, and he jerked up from his bed, looked out the window, and immediately saw a column of smoke rising from the harbor.

Realizing the danger, Heihachiro Togo hurriedly began to get dressed, and just as he put on his shirt and pants and went to get his coat, a piercing gunshot came from outside the building.

Heihachiro Togo was taken aback, he didn't bother to put on his coat, but swooped down on the hanger in the corner of the wall, and took off the holster of the revolver hanging on it, probably because of the panic and too much force, the hanger was suddenly pulled down and fell to the floor, making a heavy crashing sound.

Togo Heihachiro didn't care about this, but drew his revolver, and then he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

"Togo-kun! Togo-kun! Are you there? Someone shouted.

Heihachiro Togo heard the voice of his good friend Dewa Shigeyuan, and his heart was a little settled, but his hand holding the pistol still did not relax.

The door opened, and Izuwa rushed in with a few sailors with rifles.

"Togo-kun! Are you okay? Dewa looked around and saw Heihachiro Togo curled up behind the desk, let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and motioned for the sailors behind him to raise the muzzle of the gun.

"I'm fine." Heihachiro Togo carefully stood up from behind the desk, looked at Shigeyuan Dewa, who was dressed in a navy uniform in front of him, and the heavily armed sailors behind him, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

"Quick! Come with me! Dewa Shigeyuan stepped forward to help the hanger up, took off the military uniform on it and threw it to Togo Heihachiro, and said with some urgency.

"Get on board? Which warship to go to? Heihachiro Togo asked in surprise while getting dressed.

"Your Mt. Fuji." Izuha Chongyuan smiled slightly, and replied with a chewing word.

"'Mt. Fuji'? I'm not her captain anymore, am I? Heihachiro Togo was stunned.

Not long ago, the Ministry of the Navy ordered all warships in Kagoshima Port to go to Nagasaki, and Togo Heihachiro led the "Mt. Fuji" to Nagasaki Port, but as soon as the "Nagasaki" docked, a naval officer brought sailors aboard the ship, read out Togo Heihachiro's dismissal order, and was succeeded by Nakae Tao, a captain from Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Heihachiro Togo, who had been dismissed from his post, was ordered not to leave the port of Nagasaki, which made him depressed, and he later learned that not only him, but also many of the Satsuma officers and soldiers on the warships had also been dismissed from their posts and ordered to live in a concentrated place on the shore, which was tantamount to being under government supervision.

"Now you're her captain again." Dewa Shigeyuan took Togo Heihachiro's military hat, forcefully pulled off the Japanese chapter military emblem on the hat, and pinned another bronze military emblem to it.

Togo Heihachiro saw that it was the "Cross Maru" military emblem of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, and he seemed to understand something, and his face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

Only then did he realize that the military hat on the deyu heavy distance was also the "Cross Pill" military emblem! And the hats of those sailors are also embroidered with the mark of "cross pill"!

"Could it be...... You want to ......" Looking at the bright bayonets on the rifles of the sailors, Heihachiro Togo easily shrunk the word "rebellion" into his mouth.

Dewa Shigeyuan raised the military hat that Yang had changed into a military emblem, looked at him and said: "General Saigo Takamori has been electrified all over the world, and he has raised troops to fight against the rebels, and everyone who heard it responded, I heard that Dongxiang Jun has always admired General Saigo, are you willing to follow General Saigo to create a great cause?" ”

Heihachiro Togo knew that Dewa Shigeyuan should have joined the rebels, and he was originally apprehensive, but when he heard that it was Saigo Takamori who raised troops, it seemed that a powerful force had penetrated his body, making him make up his mind in an instant.

"I am willing to follow the general and go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up!" Heihachiro Togo said proudly, took the military hat from Dewa Shigeyuan's hand, and put it on his head.

"This is the Dongxiang-kun I know!" Dewa Shigeto was overjoyed, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed out loud.

At that moment, Heihachiro Togo was dressed neatly, took his command knife and put it on, and walked out of the officer's dormitory surrounded by Izuwa Shigeyuan and the sailors.

At this time, the officers' quarters had been completely occupied by the Satsuma sailors who had risen, and Togo Heihachiro saw that some sailors in the navy who were loyal to the government occupied a small building to resist, but they lacked weapons and ammunition, and after only resisting for a while, they were attacked by the swarming Satsuma sailors, drove them to a corner, and shot them to death.

Heihachiro Togo didn't dare to look at the terrible scene, but walked quickly towards the pier.

A short time later, Togo Heihachiro came to the "Mt. Fuji", which had been occupied by the Satsuma sailors, and the sailors cheered enthusiastically when they saw Togo Heihachiro and Dewa Shigeto.

"Dongxiang traitor! None of you will die well! Nakae Tao, the captain of Yamaguchi Prefecture, who had been tied up, was lying down on the deck, and when he saw Heihachiro Togo appear, he immediately scolded.

"Yaga!" Several Satsuma sailors were furious, stepped forward and raised their bayonet rifles to stab Nakaetao, who let out a heart-rending scream and struggled on the deck.

Flying blood droplets splashed on Togo Heihachiro's face, he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, looking at the blood red on his fingertips, he couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.

The two Satsuma sailors lifted Nakae Tao, who had been stabbed into a blood gourd and had lost his breath and was no longer moving, and threw them into the sea, and the other Satsuma sailors all clapped their hands and laughed when they saw this.

Heihachiro Togo couldn't bear to look at the situation of Nakae Tao falling into the sea, he turned his head to look into the distance, and saw that on the "Chiyodagata" not far from the "Mt. Fuji", accompanied by bursts of gunfire, one after another fell from the side of the side, fell into the sea, and floated on the sea, and a large pool of blood seeped from them, staining the sea water into a bright red.

"Don't worry about that. Give the order! Now you're the captain of the Mt. Fuji again. Dewa Shigeto understood Togo Heihachiro's feelings, he patted Togo Heihachiro and said, "Work hard!" I'm going to the 'Enni Maru'. ”

Heihachiro Togo took a deep breath, nodded, and Dewa Shigeto immediately got off the "Mt. Fuji" and ran straight to the gunboat "Ennenmaru" anchored in the distance with a few sailors.

At this time, the sailors on the "Mt. Fuji" began to lower the Nichizhang flag on the mast and raised the "Cross Maru" military flag, and Togo Heihachiro walked onto the flying bridge, and looked around, and saw one warship after another in the distance, all of which were the same as the "Mt. Fuji", quickly lowering the Nichizhang flag and raising the "Cross Maru" military flag.
