Chapter 643: The Ming Army Lands in Nagasaki
The Tokugawa shogunate of the current Wa Kingdom was under the reign of the fourth shogun, Tokugawa Ietsuna.
It is rumored that this person did not have a high intelligence, so he was easily guided by the shogunate's retainers, which made the entire Wa kingdom more conservative and closed.
Now that the Ming Navy had requested to enter Nagasaki in the name of missing naval personnel, it was difficult for Tokugawa Ietsuna to figure out the reason, and he had to turn to his uncle Masayuki Hoshina for help.
"General, the Ming people have always been cunning, most of them want to take advantage of this to provoke a stand, take the opportunity to occupy our Nagasaki, and force us to open trade, so as to look down and refuse sternly!"
As soon as Masayuki Hoshina said this, Tokugawa Ietsuna immediately ordered to refuse the Ming navy to enter Nagasaki to search.
"Great Marshal, the Wa Kingdom has refused our request to enter Nagasaki to search, and now it seems that it is impossible for us to take Nagasaki while the enemy is unprepared, so we can only force a landing."
At this time, on the Ming battleship outside Nagasaki Port, Zheng Chenggong, the chief officer of the Japanese Navy, was holding a telescope and looking at Nagasaki Castle hidden in the dark curtain, allowing the red daze to fly in the sea breeze, and Cheng Qigong, a naval officer in charge of contact with the Japanese army in Nagasaki, stood straight behind Zheng Chenggong and reported the decision of the Tokugawa shogunate to refuse the Ming army to enter Nagasaki Castle to search.
"Pass the order, and land tomorrow!"
Zheng Chenggong smiled coldly, then withdrew his binoculars, and glanced back at the hundreds of warships under his command: "Tomorrow, the bombardment of Nagasaki City will be enough for these Japanese people to drink a pot." ”
As Zheng Chenggong said, as soon as the sky was bright the next day, hundreds of warships of the Ming North Sea Fleet approached Nagasaki City, and the red hull was like a curtain rising from the sea, covering the Nagasaki Port along the coast.
Hundreds of battleships lined up, their black muzzles with the smell of freshly opened paint, poked out half of their heads from the side of the wooden ships as they shook incessantly, and at the moment when the darkness completely disappeared from the peaceful city of Nagasaki, countless fires erupted, like a sprinkled starry sky, like thunderbolts falling from the sky.
And the moment the white smoke rises into the air, it is when Nagasaki Castle is suddenly in flames.
Nagasaki was originally born out of trade, and there are still countless Tang houses left by Ming merchants in the city, and now it has only become a trade entrance and exit monopolized by the Tokugawa shogunate, so the warehouses in Nagasaki Castle that were bombed into ruins by the Ming fleet are the property of the Tokugawa shogunate.
The Japanese troops of the Nagasaki authorities rallied angrily and began to prepare to sail battleships to meet the Ming navy.
But now the best warship of the Japanese army is only a wooden sailing warship that is not much bigger than the Fu ship, the Ming Dynasty has fought with the Japanese navy during the Wanli period, even if the Ming naval division at that time did not have sail warships, but it still thwarted the main force of the Japanese navy, and now the Japanese navy is naturally more unable to compete with the Ming navy.
"Oh my God, what kind of battleship is this, and why is it so big!"
When the Japanese army came to the outside of Nagasaki, they were stunned by the battleships of the Ming Navy.
The Japanese were already short in stature, but now when they saw the Ming battleship with the three-story battery, they could only look up at their necks, and forgot in horror to sail to fight against the Ming navy.
At this time, the Ming Marine Corps and the Seventh Army of the Army had begun to take the landing ship to begin the landing, and when the Japanese saw a dense Ming army coming out of the tall battleship, they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran back on the spot: "The Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming, close the city gate quickly!" ”
Today's Wa Kingdom is the era of Wen Tian Wu Xi, the Japanese army does not have any decent combat effectiveness, naturally it will not be as arrogant as the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, and even once destroyed Korea, today's Japanese army except for the samurai are no different from the peasants, when they saw the Ming army appear in large numbers, the first thing that came to mind was to flee for their lives, and fled back to Nagasaki City frantically.
Li Dingguo, the chief officer of the Sixth Army of the Ming Dynasty, was very stunned by this, he thought that the Japanese army would use the advantage of the shore to attack himself when his Ming army landed, but he did not expect that these Japanese troops would directly rout as soon as they saw their Ming troops go out to sea, and they ran faster than rabbits.
Li Dingguo had no choice but to take the Sixth Army of the Ming Army ashore and began to camp at the Nagasaki port, while at the same time transporting some important baggage ashore one after another.
But just after the Sixth Army of the Ming Army had landed, a group of samurai came out of Nagasaki Castle with swords.
"Alert!"
Feng Houdun, deputy chief officer of the First Corps of the Sixth Army, let out a loud shout, and the first section of the Ming Army, which had already set up a fence on the shore in advance, began to pull the bolt of the gun.
Li Dingguo also turned around at this time, took off his round hat and steel helmet, and squinted at the group of widows in front of him.
Li Dingguo saw that their two short legs were particularly firmly stepping on the soft silky sand, and they seemed to be very energetic, wearing a pair of white trousers, dragging a pair of herringbone clogs, with a strip of white cloth wrapped around their foreheads, and a blood-red dot in the center of the white strip, holding a cold and cold knife in both hands, plus only a little black beard in the center of the upper lip, and the appearance of baring teeth and grinning seemed to make people a little frightened.
But what Li Dingguo didn't expect was that not long after he watched it, these widows rushed towards him with a roar, beating quickly like toads.
The Ming army did not hesitate to pull the bolt, crackling gunshots rang out, and the rifled bullets were still running at high speed at the muzzle, accurately hitting these rushing Japanese people, some directly hit the Japanese eyebrowbone, some directly hit the Japanese frontal bone, and some directly hit the sternum.
After a round of shooting, there were only five or six Japanese samurai left at this time, and these five or six samurai looked at everything in front of them in a daze, and then cut the sharp Japanese knife into their abdomen with a shout at the same time as the Ming army fired, and at the same time, the Ming army's bullets also accurately hit them.
"This is also seppuku?"
Li Dingguo made a lot of pre-war preparations before going to the Wa Kingdom, and he also had some understanding of the culture of the Wa Kingdom, and knew the bushido spirit of the Wa Kingdom, but he still did not expect that these Japanese people would choose seppuku on the battlefield instead of fighting to the death with an enemy like himself.
"The shogun is their master, they have failed to complete their master's task, seppuku is easier for them to be forgiven than death in battle, and it is more honorable, waiting for us to catch the shogun and the emperor of the Japanese country, it will be the time for these samurai to seppuku on a large scale again."
Zheng Chenggong walked up to Li Dingguo at this time and explained to Li Dingguo the reason why these warriors cut their stomachs.
Li Dingguo smiled slightly: "Maybe let all these Japanese warriors disappear, so that the Japanese can really be eliminated, Zheng Dudu, Li thinks we should have a game to kill the Japanese invaders, whoever kills the most can get the most precious thing of the other party, how about it?" ”
"Yes, but we have to take Nagasaki Castle first!"
