At this moment, Edo no longer has the prosperity of the past, and the moment the iron hooves of the Manchu Qing set foot here, it was doomed to decline.

At one time, the Tokugawa shogunate made the capital here, and even issued a relocation order for people from Kansai to migrate to this area to fill it. Even if it's artificial, it's better to build this place more and more prosperous as a country should have.

When the Manchus arrived, their gates were blasted open by artillery, and the Manchu cavalry and cavalry artillery carried out a one-sided massacre here.

The soft-boned people knelt down and surrendered at the first time, this nation that worships the strong has no dignity at all in front of the strong. Those who wanted to maintain their dignity, or those who wanted to be slaves but were too late, died in the slaughter.

The imperial family and the shoguns fled, and the Manchus occupied it, and after a brief renovation, it was settled as a stronghold. It has also been renovated for a while, but the time is still a little shorter, and at this moment, you can still faintly see the traces of the city that was burned by the war.

However, since this is an important stronghold of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Kanto region, it is natural to arrange a part of the troops to be stationed here, and even a part of the navy is needed to defend here, so as not to be attacked by someone like this.

At the beginning, the people that the Manchus had to guard against were not the Ming Dynasty, but the Republic Navy on the island of Taiwan in the south. In their opinion, the Ming Dynasty has forbidden the sea for so long, even if there is still a bird fighting power when the fleet is established, unless it is to send it to death, how can it come to Edo? Being able to land in Nagasaki is already a good progress!

They didn't expect that Zheng Chenggong's Daming plot was too deep, and he still betrayed his father and threw himself into the arms of Daming. Now it has become the leading party, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty has been registered here in Edo.

"Commander Lu, what I must say is that you only have five days, and you must fight your way all the way to the west, kill the Manchus to the maximum, attract their attention, and transfer troops to encircle and suppress. Otherwise, their sea ships will inevitably set off to the coast of our Ming Dynasty, and if they land in Tianjin, it is very likely that the troops will be directed at Beijing, and we will be the sinners of the Ming Dynasty at that time! Zheng Chenggong said to Lu Xiangsheng before the war.

"I see!" Lu Xiangsheng has no nonsense, he is only full of perseverance and self-confidence at this moment.

It is not possible to log in Osaka or even further west, even if everyone now knows that the main forces of the Manchu naval division and army are mainly assembled on the island of Kyushu. As for why it is there, it is naturally because it is close to North Korea, and if there is anything to go directly back to the Korean Peninsula, it is also the mainland, unlike the island countries facing the sea on all sides, and they don't know where they can retreat.

The main reason for not landing in Osaka or even further west is that it is a storm zone, and the storm has begun to appear in the past two days, and if you do log there, the result will be either a storm or a naval battle with the enemy in the middle of the storm. If it is a regular naval battle, it may not be nothing, but now the Daming naval division also has to play the role of a transport fleet, they must transport the army troops to the shore, if they take them to fight a naval battle, not to mention the speed of the ship, not to mention the speed of the ship, if the ship is sunk, their marine troops on the ship will also be unlucky in the end.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zheng Chenggong still sent people to Tokyo. One is that it avoided the storm belt, and the other is that it was an important stronghold of the Manchus in the Kanto region, where sufficient logistical supplies should be stored. In particular, if a batch of guns and cannons can be collected, it will be of great benefit to the westward advance of the army. As for the Manchu division, which had already begun to attack the Mutsu area, it could only be kept and dealt with slowly.

"敵がいる" in the distance,I don't know who shouted.,It's in the Japanese dialect.。

"What is this shouting?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't understand.

"He's shouting 'there is an enemy', it seems that he has discovered us, I'm here to deal with their sailors stationed here, as for their army, I'll hand it over to you!" Zheng Chenggong is different, his mother Tagawa is a standard Japanese person, and he can naturally understand the Japanese dialect or something.

"Leave it to me!" Lu Xiangsheng did not look down on Zheng Chenggong with the identity of a military commander, in his opinion, different branches of the army have different division of labor, and he can have the final say in land warfare, that is because he has experience. But he has no experience in naval warfare, but he can't lead an outsider to lead an insider, and Zheng Chenggong should be in charge of this aspect.

The newly incorporated Japanese navy began to board their ship, and there were also movements in the city, which should be that the defending troops finally realized the enemy's attack and quickly began to prepare. Here we also have to admire the ability of the early Manchu and Japanese people to fight, before the complete degeneration, they seem to be living for the battle all the time.

"What's the noise, reward you with a cannonball to eat!" Seeing that the person who shouted before was still walking there and calling, Zheng Chenggong shouted dissatisfiedly.

Then he personally came to the battery, aimed at the opponent's location, and fired a shell.

Zheng Chenggong's ** experience seems to be very sufficient, at least his cannon at the moment, without a test shot, actually hit the opponent directly. Perhaps, this is also a talent.

The cannonball exploded, and a bright spark pierced the night sky. The whole of Edo also began to become noisy, and it was clear that the lowest classes, as well as the Manchu aristocracy, were aware of what was going on.

"Shoot!" Zheng Chenggong saw that the other party had finally stopped, and after shouting "happy", he turned around and gave the order to attack.

The Ming Navy began to form a formation against the enemy, and immediately carried out the first round of shooting towards the enemy's location.

The cannonballs may not be as accurate as Zheng Chenggong, but so what? Such a dense artillery bombardment, even if only one of the three shots hits, is powerful enough. If you don't hit one of the five shots...... The artillery instructors can be replaced, and the naval officers who command them can be dragged out and cut down.

In one round of shooting, at least more than five Ataka ships obediently sank to the bottom of the sea. The remaining few Fu ships from the Daming Nanzhili Shipyard, as well as the only Franc warship, skillfully avoided the shelling, and even tried to start firing back.

"Spread out, shoot back!" Zheng Chenggong is not a fool, so naturally he will not obediently let the fleet stay there and eat shells.

The flotilla was scattered and outflanked, and when the ship was in the right position, it quickly fired back at the enemy. The two sides come and go, but they are also evenly matched. Perhaps, the navy of the Ming Dynasty still has an absolute advantage. After all, not to mention the success of their night attack, the enemy army was also confined to Tokyo Bay and could not be used.

With the beginning of the naval firefight, the army has also been repaired, and there may be many people who are not used to taking ships, but during the previous attack on the Ryukyus, a rehearsal similar to a simulated war was conducted, so that the soldiers had some experience. Therefore, this time I went to the sea, but I didn't repair it for too long, and I was able to quickly put myself into battle. It's just a pity that this expedition can't bring out heavy artillery.

"Kill!" Lu Xiangsheng personally led his headquarters and killed the core area of Edo Castle.

The two sides entered the stage of street fighting, and it was not denied that the Manchu troops and the coercive army of the Japanese occupied a certain geographical advantage, but the Ming also occupied the advantage of the surprise attack. With the cavalry artillery imitating the Manchu Qing, the Ming army quickly grasped the initiative, and as time went on, it advanced step by step.

The war didn't end until dawn, looking at the blood-colored morning sun, Lu Xiangsheng shouted with the victorious Ming army.

In this battle, nearly 10,000 enemies were killed, thousands were captured, and only a few hundred people were killed, which can be regarded as a rare victory. On top of that, the entire Edo Castle had fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and with this as a base, the Ming Dynasty could quickly advance westward. At the same time, after Zheng Chenggong's translation, the 5,000 Japanese among these captives expressed their willingness to join the Ming army, because they also had national hatred and family hatred for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but did not have much resentment towards the Ming Dynasty, and even had a sense of worship.

Therefore, instead of becoming a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is better to become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. As for the re-establishment of the country or something...... We have to see if their emperor and shogun will give it their strength, and if they don't, then I'm sorry. If it's powerful...... Then I'm sorry Daming.

The navy ended the battle one step ahead, Zheng Chenggong captured a Franc machine warship, two Fu ships, sank three Fu ships, and more than a dozen large and small Anzhai ships. The Japanese people on the Franc machine warship and the Fu ship, under the recruitment of Zheng Chenggong, surrendered to the Ming Navy.

At the same time, the army also knocked open the warehouses in Edo, looted the weapons and ammunition there, took out enough to arm their own troops, and distributed the rest to the Japanese residents of Edo. This is the mention given by the Tang king, which means that with the help of these Japanese people, the Manchu Tartars in the east will give a little trouble.

Anyway, at this moment, the battle against the Manchus is the top priority, and Lu Xiangsheng has no comment on arming these Japanese people.

The army was armed, and after a brief rest day, it quickly set out for the march. For them, at this moment, it is an inch of money, and there is no time to delay.

The army fought all the way from Kanto to the Owari area, and in three days before and after they reached Kyoto, seeing that Osaka Castle was in front. The navy also passed all the way, and the fleet was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more soldiers to fight. Although they have just been co-opted, they are still very competent as cannon fodder.

Finally, their every move attracted the attention of the Manchu Qing Tartars on Kyushu Island, and at this time they realized that the Ming Dynasty was actually killing behind them.

So Fan Wencheng said: Just send troops directly to Tianjin, I don't believe they won't retreat in order to rescue Beijing!

After all, the enemy has not even reached the Osaka area yet, and it is even more distant from them.

But this mention yì still did not get tongguò, because during this time, it was stormy weather...... Although these days, it is rare to have a few days of sunshine.

The Manchus had a natural fear of the sea, at least not yet the courage to fight a naval battle. But if Zheng Zhilong was simply allowed to fight, they were worried that Zheng Zhilong would defect and take his headquarters to join Daming. Therefore, he simply preferred not to go to the expedition and not let Zheng Zhilong lead the troops alone.

Well, since you don't attack Daming, you have to deal with those guys who are making trouble at home, right? This was quickly passed, and the Manchu navy and army were quickly assembled and slaughtered towards the island of Honshu.

The two sides will eventually meet in Osaka, which will soon become the main battlefield of the Washima Front.
