Chapter 674: The teacher is famous
More than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, from the beginning of the Hongwu year to the present, the plague of the Japanese has never been stopped, and after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Japan is still listed as fifteen countries that are not to be conquered.
Of course, this decision was not made by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and his old man's brain was caught by the door, although judging from the portraits handed down from history, Mr. Zhu's head shape is indeed suspected of being clipped,—— it is clamped horizontally.
Japan is not a country to be conquered, because at that time the Ming Dynasty had just been established, Japan was in a sensitive period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the political situation of the Southern Dynasties was deteriorating day by day, from the perspective of political needs, the friendship with the Ming Dynasty was more cost-effective than the bad relations, as we all know, the urine of the Japanese nation is very unbearable, bullying the soft and fearing the hard has become their nature, and the Ming Dynasty has just established the country, its army morale runs through Changhong, and the polemic power is to conquer the Mongols who conquered the Eurasian continent back to the grassland, in the face of such a powerful neighbor, Japan has no choice but to kneel and lick.
It cannot be denied that once the Japanese kneel and lick, regardless of posture, strength and depth, they are very moderate and pleasant, this is a gift, whether it is a man or a woman, they naturally seem to know how to be comfortable, at least at that time, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was kneeling and licking very comfortably, so after forgetting to moan and moaning, Longyan Dayue, the holy decree, Japan was listed as a country not to be conquered.
Of course, His Majesty Taizu also has his old man's fears, although Japan is an island country, but it is not so easy to conquer, Kublai Khan has done this twice, both times he returned with a feather, Zhu Yuanzhang has just settled the country, a lot of glory and wealth are waiting for him to enjoy, he will not do such a boring and risky thing to conquer Japan.
More than 100 years ago, Emperor Taizu established the rule of not conquering Japan, and today it is on the shore of Nagasaki, Japan. But there were eight warships from the Ming Dynasty cruising around, eyeing each other.
Nagasaki is Japan's natural fishing port, the Ming Dynasty forbids the sea and does not stop, the Ming merchants who trade with Japan frequently come and go, Nagasaki has become the wharf for the merchants of the two countries to load and unload transactions, the merchants' silver and products flow in and out of this small city, more than 100 years down, the prosperity of Nagasaki can be imagined.
Eight giant ships are like eight hideous and terrifying monsters, quietly moored on the sea less than ten miles from the land of Nagasaki, and the dragon flag representing the Ming Dynasty on the ship flutters and hunts. The silence exudes a suffocating murderous intent exuding.
The Japanese fishermen, who were fishing in the nearby sea, were curious at first. Huge ships with two or three thousand materials are rare, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has forbidden the sea for more than 100 years, and the Japanese fishermen have never seen the official Ming warships, and the dragon flags flying high are very unfamiliar to them.
However, when the wooden partitions on the sides of the ship were opened. A door with a black barrel sticking out of the hatch. The cold and terrifying caliber of the cannon was aimed at the dock on the shore of Nagasaki. The fishermen were shocked to realize that the eight huge ships were not good, so they screamed in fright and galloped away desperately towards the shore of Nagasaki. While rowing, he shouted something hoarsely at the people on the shore.
The shadow of war suddenly loomed over this bustling town.
…………
Yang Dequan, the general and admiral of the Tianjin Navy Division, stared coldly at the crowd kneeling on the deck with red eyes.
These people were all the generals of this fleet, and at the moment their faces were pale and extremely ugly.
Japan is one of the fifteen non-conscripted countries of the Ming Dynasty since the beginning of the Hongwu year, the so-called "non-conscription country", which means not only that the Hongwu period is not levied, but that the Ming Emperor is not allowed to use force against Japan no matter how many generations it has passed, this article has been written into the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training", and the Ming Emperors of the past dynasties shall not violate.
And today, the reckless general in front of him actually ordered the artillery to be fired at the port of Nagasaki, and a round of artillery bombardment came down, Yang Dequan was certainly happy, but what will they do in the future? His Majesty, the emperor of Jingshi, and those officials and lords are still not allowed to eat them alive?
"General Yang, the Japanese are the Japanese, Japan is Japan, the two can't be mixed, we can kill the Japanese, but we must not fire at Nagasaki, otherwise we will go back to Tianjin, we can't afford to be guilty!" A general knelt in front of Yang Dequan, pleading helplessly in his tone.
Yang De was as severe as frost, and stared at the general coldly: "Don't tell Lao Tzu any big truth, Lao Tzu only knows that the Japanese are Japanese, and the Japanese should fight, they can board the shore of our Ming Dynasty and attack our Ming city, but we can't attack the Japanese city, what kind of truth is this?" ”
"General, Japan is a country that does not conquer, this is the ancestral training set by the grandfather more than a hundred years ago, even the current emperor does not dare to violate the ancestral training, if we shell Nagasaki, this is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!"
Yang Dequan said angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight, but who told us to run into a fog, who told God to send us to the shore of Nagasaki, this is all fucking providence!" Providence, do you understand? Our Tianjin Navy Division made its first voyage, and if we don't bombard a few fucking cannons and go back, this is not good for the division, the sword is out of the sheath, and it is very bad luck to return without drinking blood, and the Navy Division will be unlucky in the future! ”
The generals were choked by Yang Dequan's words, and this kind of nonsense was also explained, he was obviously messing around.
It is true that the supreme general of this fleet is Yang Dequan, he is a staff general, and he is the admiral of the navy, but this military order he issued is undoubtedly very impulsive and unwise, probably because the former Fujian fishermen have been bullied by too many Japanese robbers, so that he has a bitter hatred for Japan, or he has been under too much pressure by the sea lost in the past few days......
No matter what the reason, this military order can never be carried out, and the generals are already mentally prepared in their hearts, even if they are charged with disobedience before the battle, they can't shoot at Nagasaki, otherwise what awaits everyone will at least be the consequence of beheading, and if it is more serious, it may be beheaded.
Everyone knelt on the deck, straightened their waists, and was about to persuade Yang Dequan to rein in the precipice again, when the sergeant on the flagship watchtower suddenly shouted.
"Look, General, the Japanese warship has left the port!"
Their hearts sank, and they hurriedly ran to the side of the ship and stood on tiptoe, but they saw a dense crowd of ships on the sea out of Nagasaki's port, with a square bow and a square shape, with iron armor on both sides of the ship, and flags such as all kinds of beasts and ghosts and the words "Hachiman Bodhisattva" hanging high on the roof of the command cabin. It looks vicious.
However, compared with the two or three thousand giant ships newly launched by the Daming Naval Division, the fierce-looking Japanese ships looked so small, and from a distance, it looked like a group of dwarfs shouting around the eight giants, and there was a very ridiculous disparity in comparison.
No matter how weak the military is, the Ming Dynasty is after all a great power, whether it is shipbuilding, firearms and artillery invention or battlefield experience, the Ming Dynasty is still much stronger than Japan, it can be said that in addition to the personal combat strength and courage of the sergeants and the so-called samurai ronin in Japan. In other respects, it is stronger than Japan.
So on the combat strength of the two armies. Perhaps a dozen Japanese pirates could chase down thousands of Ming troops and flee all over the ground, but if the two sides used firearms and artillery to fight each other, Japan really had no advantage.
At this time, Japan was in the Warring States period of the Shogunate, and there were dozens of daimyo scattered on the small island. And each daimyo had two or three thousand soldiers and horses. As few as a few hundred. Although the two or three thousand soldiers and horses are not even comparable to Zhu Houzhao's honor guard when he travels, he is already a very remarkable hero in Japan, and often a short general rides a mule. Followed by a few shouting samurai, and then followed by hundreds of farmers with nails and rakes and hoes, the two gangs fought together, which was a great battle in Japan, including the mule that was ridden by the general will be recorded in the annals of Japanese history, and people and beasts will glorify their ancestors together.
The overwhelming array of Japanese warships and the flags and sails that seemed to be participating in a beauty contest covered the sky and the sun for a while. The generals on the flagship of the Ming fleet looked at this scene stupidly, and there was a dead silence on the deck......
Yang Dequan's eyes were round like two copper bells, and he looked at the flags embroidered with various bodhisattvas, spirit turtles, cranes, ghosts and other patterns a few miles away, and said, "These guys...... Are you going to scare us to death? ”
At this time, the atmosphere on the deck was completely different from just now, and the generals stared at the Japanese ships that were getting closer and closer, and an invisible battle spirit gradually permeated the surroundings in the quiet.
This is a new water division created by Qin Kan himself, the soldiers are not from ordinary military families, most of them are hot-blooded men recruited from the people, they are different from the army of the Daming Guard, they are not nested.
Taking the initiative to bombard Nagasaki did violate the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, but if the Japanese ships took the initiative to provoke them, the nature of the matter would be different.
The Japanese ships were getting closer and closer, there were big ships and small boats, and even the flat boats for fishing were also uneven, and the bow of the boat swayed in the breeze, I vaguely saw a samurai figure wearing a black kimono, combing his hair, with his hair shaved in the middle, and a layer of black paint standing on the bow of Fang Ping, pointing at the fleet of the Ming Dynasty and roaring hoarsely, his face flushed, and his expression was quite angry and excited.
History once again proves how important language communication is, the Japanese samurai standing on the bow of the ship shouted so hard, and Yang Dequan and the generals on the Zhige could not understand a word, everyone stood in the side of the ship and frowned carefully for a long time, after all, they did not understand the essentials, and were about to call the interpreter of the army, when something unexpected happened.
The Japanese samurai shouted for a long time, seeing that the eight giant ships of the Ming Dynasty still had no response, neither fighting nor negotiating, the samurai was in doubt, unexpectedly there was a hissing sound behind the ship, and the muzzle of an old-fashioned artillery gun that I found out of nowhere suddenly made a loud noise, and an iron bullet hit a Ming giant ship a mile away, and the middle of the hull was suddenly shot, but the range was too far, and the Japanese artillery was too backward, and the iron bullet did not penetrate the giant ship at all, and was directly rebounded and fell into the sea.
On the deck of the Zhige, the sailors who witnessed all this became quieter and quieter, and in the silence, a monstrous fire of war seemed to be ignited.
Admiral Yang Dequan slowly turned his head and stared at the silent generals, his tone was as calm as a stagnant water.
"Generals, the port of Nagasaki in Japan fired the first shot at us, and now, you tell me, do you want to shoot back?"
Rumble!
As if a powder keg had been detonated, the deck exploded.
"Hit! Beat him up as a bitch! ”
"General Yang, Japan fired artillery for no reason, maliciously provoking our Ming Dynasty, if you don't fight back, won't you insult my Ming national prestige!"
"Now the division is famous, and the official master of the Beijing division can't blame us, general, give the order to open fire!"
The crowd is angry, the arrows are on the line, and the military heart is available.
Yang Dequan looked up to the sky and laughed, and his smile narrowed, and instantly turned into a hideous one.
"Shoot Lao Tzu! Two hours later, on the sea within a radius of ten miles from Nagasaki, Lao Tzu did not want to see any more Japanese ships! (To be continued......)
