Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The Sea of Japan may seem calm in February, but the chilly winds are often daunting for sailors who call the sea home. However, at this moment, there are two Japanese-style otaku boats chasing each other in this deserted sea area with a ridiculous degree, and from time to time there are one or two cannon sounds, and the situation is very mysterious.

"My lord, the shogunate's ships will catch up." The tense atmosphere made the sailors sweat in the cold wind, and they were even more anxious that once they were captured, the entire family would be implicated. "We can't escape, what to do, what to do!"

"What's the panic, the shogunate's ships aren't much faster than ours." Seeing that the arrows from the rear ship fell on the sea, the owner of the Ataka ship said with confidence. "As long as you run for a while, you will reach the place where the goods are delivered, and it will be easy to destroy the shogunate's small ships with the power of the shippers."

Boat? The sailors who participated in the trade for the first time were a little incredulous, knowing that due to many reasons such as poor splicing technology and shogunate bans, the 3,000-stone Ataka ship was already a great ship in Japan, and the sailors of the frog at the bottom of the well naturally did not dare to imagine that there was a bigger ship in the world.

The chase continued, the distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer, and even when the projectiles fired by the iron cannon of the rear ship were able to bombard the baffle of the front ship and cause some damage to the sailors of the front ship, the front ship suddenly stopped suddenly.

"After chasing for a day and a night, finally can't hold on?" When the warrior leader on the back ship saw this scene, a smug smile appeared on his face. "Sailor, don't stop, lean in, catch them, the Lord is waiting for our good news." However, before the sailors could increase their paddle intensity, a loud roar suddenly exploded from the ship in front, and a cloud of fireworks instantly soared into the sky, forming a very obvious mark in the sky. "And the helpers, it shouldn't be those Xia country merchants, great." The leader of the warriors was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. "I took it all together."

As soon as the warrior leader's words landed, the sailors on the boat screamed. The leader of the warriors looked around, only to see a black dot appear in his field of vision, and then slowly enlarge in an unimaginable degree. Of course, the so-called slowness is relative distance, and compared to the snail-like degree of the otaku ship under his feet, it is like an arrow from the string.

"It's huge!" The leader of the warriors was still dumbfounded, and the sharp-eyed sailor exclaimed. "That's a lot of sails."

The leader of the warriors had a sharp turn in his mind, and immediately decided: "First control the ship in front of ZhanΓ¬, and then fight a decisive battle with the Xia people." ”

At this time, a strange tricolor flag suddenly rose on the previous Ataku ship, and then the fire flashed on the Xia Guo ship, and with the sound of thunder, a column of water soaring to the sky suddenly appeared not far from the shogunate ship.

"This, this is a big tube!" Although the big barrel is a Zhenguo artifact in Japan, it is not very visible on weekdays, but rumors are always more frightening than facts, so as soon as the newcomer has this weapon to destroy the country and destroy the country, the shogunate ship suddenly became a mess. "What should I do, run away." Some of the foolish sailors jumped directly into the sea, and even more sober people hurriedly tried to turn the bow of the ship without asking for instructions. "Run"

The leader of the warriors who jumped from the castle tower on the ship slashed off the head of the sailor who was trying to turn around, and the bloody scene shocked everyone on the boat like headless flies: "Run? Did you run? The ships of the Xia people are faster than ours. ”

These words made everyone sober up all of a sudden, yes, you can't run away from others, but people have big tubes, obviously you can't beat them, is it really going to wait for death here?

"Lean in." The leader of the warriors held a bloody long knife in one hand and pointed at the approaching summer boat with the other. "We have swords, guns, bows and arrows, and iron cannons, as long as we get up, there is still a way to survive." Looking at the people on the boat who were looking at each other, the leader of the warriors swore an oath. "I know better than you about the big tube, this thing can hit far but not close"

"It's funny, I didn't run away." Luo Zhiyong, who used a clairvoyant mirror to see the movement of the shogunate ship clearly, suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face. "I dare to catch up, good, great, I thought that if I fell into the Tsunade fleet, I would have no chance to make war achievements, but I didn't expect Little Japan to send it to the door by himself, this is a windfall from heaven."

The [Henglan Island] at the foot of Luo Zhiyong is a 20,000-material military transport ship, that is, the hull of the Taixi plywood ship and the Chinese-style seven-masted hard sail composed of a mixed ship type, although it may not be as good as the main Taixi warship of the Xia Army in terms of maneuverability, but because the number of mast sails is enough, the difference on the highest ship is limited, and because the hard sail has good operability, it is more suitable for ocean shipping by the eight-sided wind, so it has become the best-selling main merchant ship model in China.

However, unlike ordinary civilian transport ships that are only equipped with one or two light guns, as a military ship, the [Henglan Island] has a total of ten Franc breech guns on both sides of the anti-board battle, and there are also four large-caliber short guns on the lower deck, so it can also participate in some low-intensity battles when necessary, and this is also the capital of Luo Zhiyong to bully the Japanese-style Ataku ship.

So, under the gaze of another Ataka ship, the [Henglan Island] turned sideways, and the muzzle of the black hole on the port side opened.

However, the [Yokokanjima] did not only fire the cannon directly, until the shogunate Ataka ship was very close, and the iron cannon projectiles fired from the Ataka ship crackled the side baffle of the [Yokokanjima], and the two flames came out one after another, but unfortunately, although it was very close, the shot still missed.

"What a bad luck!" Luo Zhiyong looked at the two columns of water that rushed to the sky and cursed. "Sue Li Yiming, if you can't fight again, Lao Tzu will go back and pick up his official clothes." The herald hurried away, and Luo Zhiyong came to the side of the ship despite the threat of the Japanese iron cannons. "Old man, are you ready for the Franc machine?" Fu Zuo'an, the leader in charge of commanding the Franco's machine gun, responded, and Luo Zhiyong immediately ordered murderously. "Then give me a look!"

The shogunate warriors, soaked by the sea water stirred up by the previous bombardment, were approaching the large and terrifying ship in front of them with swords and guns, but the fire burst out again from the bow of the ship, and then the overwhelming amount of lead swept through the Ataka ship like a storm, causing astonishing damage - the warriors who were crowded on the surface of the Ataku ship were almost swept away, and the blood flowed so fast that it could not accumulate and flow down the open to the next deck.

Only a few warriors were lucky not to die in the first place, and the warrior leader with a broken leg was one of them, just as he was covering his wound and moaning loudly, the Xia Army's short cannon that had completed reloading roared again, this time in two bullets. The huge kinetic cannonball lightly tore apart the hull of the Ataka ship, and pierced the entire hull, falling to the bottom of the sea from the other side. Immediately, the surging sea water unstoppably dragged the Ataka boat to the bottom of the sea little by little

"My lord, Nishikuya-sama, they, they're coming." Dumbfounded as Natsufune cleanly sank the shogunate ship to the bottom of the sea, and saw the huge shadow of the ship pressing towards him, even if he knew that the other party was his trading partner, the people on the smuggling ship still couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts. "What should I do?"

"What to do?" It was only then that he came to his senses when he became the leader of Nishikuya. "Bastard, if you don't put away the weapons in your hands, don't you want to end up like the shogunate's ships?"

In a heavily guarded house in Edo Town, several high-ranking warriors in rich clothes were writing something at their desks, when a rush of footsteps came from the corridor, and then an anxious voice reported outside: "Lord Metsuki, there is an urgent report from Tsuruga Shidai." ”

The paper screen door was quickly opened, and a group of warriors kneeling in the corridor appeared in the sight of the people in the room.

The little surname who was waiting moved out of the room, took the letter from the hand of the warrior who was the head, turned back to the house, and handed it to the outstretched eye. This name Fu checked the seal, then opened it and looked carefully, only after a few glances, his face was clouded. However, he did not speak immediately, but handed the letter to several colleagues to read through one by one.

After reading the last name, he squinted his eyes and thought about it, and opened his mouth to say, "You guys retreat first." ”

The warriors outside the house disappeared in response, and the little surname in the house also retreated after closing the screen door for a few people, and then this name Fu continued to speak: "The Ataku ship sent by Tsuruga Sidai to track down Afurong's smuggling is missing, what do the adults think about this matter." ”

The youngest one in the eyes turned grim: "What is missing, it can't be clearer, it should be sunk." ”

The young man sneered: "It's really bold, they dare to resist the shogunate by force, in my opinion, they can't be spared, they must be reported to the general, and this bold person will be severely punished." ”

The first to receive the letter shook his head: "This matter is related to the Wajima people, let's not say that he is the royal merchant of the Maeda family, let's just say that the relationship between him and the Sandu businessman, if there is no tangible evidence, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with it directly." ”

The Maeda Domain is one of the very few million-stone-level lords in Japan today, and its power is deeply rooted in the North 6, and the shogunate is also jealous of it, which is not as easy as dealing with ordinary small domains, not to mention that there is the shadow of the Sandu merchant looming behind this matter, but it is not something that can be shaken lightly by a few names.

The young Metsuke didn't think so: "Isn't this an opportunity for the shogunate to change the Maeda domain?" ”

The last person who read the letter frowned and said, "If the Maeda Domain and the Sandu merchants collude, once they are seriously investigated, I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil." Besides, there are Xia people behind this, and one bad thing is the reappearance of troubled times. ”

"The key is still the Xia people." At first, the name Fu had a stern expression. "Both the Maeda Domain and the Sandu merchants can deal with it slowly, and it is not enough to shake the shogunate, but once there is an external force"

The young man frowned, and then relaxed: "Then go to the shogunate and ask the shogunate to cut off trade with the Xia Kingdom." ”

"It's not proper, wouldn't the Sandu merchant want to eat us raw when he learns."

"Sakai Nakanomish-sama, this world is still the shogunate, and besides, we are just going to the book, as for how to deal with it, it's still a matter of the old middle."
