Chapter 680: Bombardment of Nagasaki

Burning ships emitted a fierce smoke from the sea, which could be clearly seen from miles away.

Zhu Houhuang raised his binoculars and looked at the coasts on both sides from a distance, there was also thick smoke, and the news was transmitted to Nagasaki City one after another.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Ouchi Yoshixing is a person who knows the soldiers, it seems that this warning is good. ”

Huang Shilong said: "What does Your Highness mean? ”

Zhu Houhuang waved his hand and said, "What's not interesting to be lonely? Lone just wants to see Nagasaki Castle, and the rest is up to you. ”

"Yes." Huang Shilong said.

Huang Shilong immediately raised the flag, and two large ships went around from behind and pounced on these small boats.

Many times, there are experiences that are not applicable on the sea, such as small and fast, big and slow, but in fact, small boats are not necessarily fast, and small boats are not necessarily slow.

For example, now, the Dongyong-type warship may not be the best warship, but after all, he is a professional ship designed for battle, so he has certain requirements for speed, such a large ship, not slower than these Japanese small ships, but much faster, even faster than some lucky ships.

Of course, this is only in windy conditions.

And today's direction is just right.

The two ships clamped the Japanese ship on the left and right, all the gun doors fell, and countless guns were raised.

"Boom." A cannon shot sounded like a signal, and one cannon after another was fired. Countless shells rained down on the ship.

The small ship seemed to rush to the center of the storm at once, and countless large and small water columns rose into the sky.

With dozens of artillery hits at once, the ship simply could not withstand it.

But in a few breaths, the mast was broken, the whole ship was smashed into a sieve, and in an instant it sank.

Zhu Houhuang watched carefully. Wait for the ship to sink before putting down the clairglass.

He is still basically satisfied with this result, but he is also dissatisfied.

"The range and power of the Franc cannon are flawed, and the firepower as an auxiliary is okay, but as the main firepower for a decisive battle, it is not. There should be no problem in dealing with some such civilian ships and merchant ships, but it is a little worse than dealing with Western warships, and only copper cannons can destroy warships. ”

Zhu Houhuang remembered that the last time he fought a decisive battle with the Franc machine, the artillery of the two sides bombarded each other, and Zhu Houhuang Franc cannon hit the opponent's ship I don't know how many, and I don't know how many holes were punched, but after filling the leaks, the battle continued.

Even in the end, it was the broadside battle that decided the winner.

But thinking of the terrible consumption of the copper cannon, Zhu Houhuang decided to have a toothache again.

In China, where copper is copper, it is clearly money.

The bronze cannons were all cast with money. It doesn't matter if there are one or two doors and two doors, but if there are one hundred doors and two hundred doors, one thousand doors and two thousand doors, how can Zhu Houhuang bear it.

Make money, or find a way to get the technology of a heavy cast iron cannon.

These two things have always been on Zhu Houhuang's heart.

It didn't take long for Nagasaki Castle to be in sight.

Zhu Houhuang looked at Nagasaki City with a clairvoyant mirror. It was found that Nagasaki Castle was not large, and it was only the size of a county town in the Central Plains, and the defensive measures were not too good, so it seemed that it was just an earthen building. It's not too far from the sea, but the artillery can't hit Nagasaki Castle directly.

However, there is a thing in Japan called Joshita-cho. Due to Nagasaki's well-developed trade, the castle town of Nagasaki Castle spread directly from outside the castle gate to the pier. It's all a big expanse of buildings.

Nagasaki Castle was not within the range of the shelling, but they were within range.

Zhu Houhuang said: "I want to send a messenger to see Ouchi Yixing. But I don't know who wants to go? ”

"Your Highness wants to go."

Zhu Houhuang looked at it, but it was Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was the first batch of Fujian people to follow Zhu Houhuang to Dongyong, his parents were both in college, and he was the first batch of government students, and then he abandoned his pen and followed Rong and spent a few days in Zhu Houhuang's personal guards.

It can be regarded as the descendant of Zhu Houhuang's lineage, Zhu Houhuang took him with him, as a member of the guard, and he was also one of Li Liangqin's disciples.

Of course, not every disciple of Li Liangqin is Yu Dayou's.

Zhu Houhuang glanced at it and said, "Okay." You go to see Ouchi Yoshiko on behalf of Gu, if Ouchi Yoshiko sacrifices his head to Nagasaki Castle like Zong Shengji, Lone will bypass the Ouchi clan, and if he refuses, let him taste the power of thunder. ”

Chen Xuan said, "Yes." The minister will also take a closer look at the Nagasaki military equipment and feel what the foundation of Nagasaki Castle is. ”

Yiye Bian Boat sent Chen Xuan to Nagasaki.

Zhu Houhuang was a little worried. Zhu Houhuang's personal guards are all personnel trained by Zhu Houhuang, which imitates the Lang official system in the Han Dynasty. Let them understand the entire Dongyong system, and then delegate it to the most basic level as officials, as for the optimistic generals, there are two channels, one is the military academy, and the other is Zhu Houhuang's personal guard. Attendant Military Attaché.

Of course, it's not either/or. Many people have military academy experience, and they also have Zhu Houhuang's experience as a military attaché.

"Report, the Yongjun sent a messenger."

Just when Zhu Houhuang was observing Nagasaki Castle, Ouchi Yoshixing was also watching them from Nagasaki Castle.

Especially when he saw the warships like mountains and mountains, Ouchi Yoshixing's pupils widened and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Only after listening to the report of his subordinates did he wake up.

Ouchi Yoshixing said, "Bring it up." No," Ouchi Yoshiko said, "Gather the generals, and I'll see him at the castle tower." ”

"Yes."

Chen Xuan waited for a while before stepping on the most central position in the entire Nagasaki.

The paper door was opened by two small surnames, and Chen Xuan walked in, only to see that in the entire hall, there were warriors kneeling on both sides, each of whom was wearing armor.

It's just that these armors make Chen Xuan seem to be extremely funny, a piece of armor is decorated with such and such patterns, and there are even horns on the helmet. Isn't it used to top people?

Each of the samurai's hands was pressed on top of the long sword, and the amusement was about to jump up and slash down.

This situation not only did not scare Chen Xuan, but made Chen Xuan excited.

Chen Xuan has also been on the battlefield to kill people, but it makes him look down on the katana even more, the long katana is a good knife, but it is not practical in the battle array.

Katana swords are too brittle, real vicious battles, these katanas break halfway through, so Dongyong is equipped with a large number of spears, of course, even if he is equipped with a long knife, it is also a Yanling knife, which is much thicker than the samurai.

Chen Xuan said: "The envoy of King Yong of the Great Ming Dynasty has seen the head of the Ouchi clan. ”

Chen Xuan neither knelt nor saluted, but just clenched his fists slightly.

"Bold." A bright light flashed, and a person shouted angrily: "Dare to be rude to His Highness." ”

Chen Xuan didn't seem to see it at all, and looked at Ouchi Yoshixing in a daze.

Ouchi Yoshixing waved his hand, pressed the warrior down, and said, "What did His Royal Highness King Yong send you for?" ”

Chen Xuan said: "My Royal Highness's meaning is very simple, that is, to ask the Ouchi family to hand over the culprit of the Ningbo Rebellion, and then let Nagasaki to make amends." Naturally, His Royal Highness will withdraw his troops. ”

Ouchi Yoshixing said: "What is the crime of my Ouchi clan? ”

"How can you be innocent if you dare to draw a sword in Daming?" Chen Xuan said.

Ouchi Yoshixing said: "The crime is not punished, and the Hosokawa family is also drawing a sword in Daming." Why doesn't His Royal Highness King Yong go east to the Hosokawa clan? ”

Chen Xuan said: "My Royal Highness said that the first person to suffer is dead. ”

In the hall, there was silence for a while, and Ouchi Yoshixing said: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, no matter what, you King Yong wants the head of the old man?" ”

Chen Xuan said: "Exactly, if the Ouchi clan is wise to offer it with both hands, the Ouchi clan can still survive, if not." There is no need for the Ouchi clan to exist. ”

Ouchi Yoshixing said: "You tell your Highness that my Ouchi Yoshixing's head is here, it depends on whether your Highness can come and get it." ”

Chen Xuan said: "Since that's the case, I'm leaving." ”

Chen Xuan didn't have any hope for any good results, anyone who rashly came to the door to ask for a person's head would not go well, however, he didn't have nothing to gain, when he just spoke, Chen Xuan was looking at the face of his subordinates Ouchi Yoshixing.

Although he didn't see anything, he found that the Ouchi clan was not monolithic.
