Off the coast of Osaka, it is located on the line of Wakayama.

Originally, it was a very calm sea, and many times you would see some fishermen living along the coast, who had been fishing in this area for generations.

But today, instead of calm, the sea has become calm, but full of blood and carnage.

Even the albatross and seagulls that always appear in the sky are gone.

On the sea, there are two teams with very different ship types, and an artillery battle is being fought.

The rumbling sound of the cannon pierced the sky, and with each shelling, a circle of water ripples would oscillate on the surface of the sea, and then slowly expand.

Some of the shells that missed their targets fell into the sea, setting off columns of water.

The artillery fire on one side was very sharp, and basically a single salvo could fire thousands of shells.

There are various types of these shells, including chain shells, solid shells, and even flowering shells.

These three shells, in Europe, are the mainstream shells in naval warfare.

However, in the East, people have not yet seen such shells.

Although there were also European maritime merchants in the East at this time, they were generally very honest along the eastern coast and basically did not cause any trouble.

Therefore, even if there is a conflict, solid bullets are generally used.

The reason is simple, solid bullets save money.

So, Orientals are really rare for other types of shells.

If you want to talk about some big sea cowards or something, they still know a little bit.

However, this is the sea off Osaka, and one of the two sides fighting is the Japanese navy.

These Japanese naval forces think very highly of themselves, and they don't even know that there are such shells in the road.

Therefore, the current Japanese naval army was suddenly blinded by the other party.

"Rush! Rush over to me and speed up the battleship! ”

Hey!

On the side of the Japanese navy, one was built very hugely. On a sea boat like an attic floating on the sea, a strong man about thirty years old, shirtless and holding a long iron fork, with very strong and hideous features, was shouting at his subordinates.

This person is the general of the naval army sent by the shogunate this time, Mori Ryuzo.

When it comes to the name Maori, many people will be familiar with it.

The Mori family can be said to have survived throughout the Warring States period of Japan, and the last family to survive during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Of course, this is something that belongs to another plane.

In this plane. The Maori family is more miserable.

Because of the problem of standing on the wrong line, the Mori family was no longer a feudal lord at this time.

Their descendants are only barely serving as military generals under the shogun, and they are just surviving.

In another time and space, it was Ishida Mitsunari who supported the Mori family at the beginning.

If the Maori family had supported the Ishida family in this time and space, perhaps they would not have become so tragic.

But the truth is, there is another plane that has nothing to do with them, the Maori family in this plane. Once again, they were on the wrong side during the Battle of Sekigahara, and they supported Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp.

Therefore, when Ishida Mitsunari achieved the most difficult victory, the Maori family was considered to be unlucky.

The family was raided. Only the collateral barely survived.

At the same time, in order to save their lives, they could only express their allegiance to the Ishida shogunate and dedicate all their domains.

That's it. They were let go by the shogunate.

This Maori dragon is the heir of the side family, the head of the family of this era.

At the beginning, the Maori family's sailors. It's still very strong.

Although they are a side line of Maori, they are more or less proficient in naval tactics.

And the Ishida shogunate is lacking such a naval talent.

After all, Japan is an island nation.

And around Japan, there are all kinds of pirates, and the southern barbarians with strong ships and guns.

Therefore, the shogunate needed a naval general to support the Japanese scene.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be said that the Japanese navy is not good, and everyone will come and bully me.

In this way, the collateral Mori defected to the Ishida shogunate and survived as a naval general under the shogun.

They don't have much, they just barely live on it.

But such conditions are already very good for them.

Moreover, it was Ishida Mitsunari who suppressed them, the old shogun who founded the shogunate, and since Ishida Mitsunari died and his son Ishida Hiroshi succeeded him as a shogun, this shogun who did not manage the government much no longer suppressed the Maori family, and even became very lenient in some policies.

At this moment, the Maori family saw the dawn of hope.

However, after all, the Warring States period had ended, and after the collateral Mori defected to the shogunate, they existed as members of the samurai.

Then, as a member of the samurai family, if they want to change their status and destiny, they have to rely on their military exploits.

But but, but, after all, the Warring States period is over, where are there so many military exploits for the Maori family to turn over.

Although they are in charge of the navy, the lifeblood of the navy is controlled by the shogunate.

As a naval army, its lifeblood is material supply.

Unless Maori is willing to betray the Japanese state, he will have to be eaten to death by this weakness.

And although Maori Longzao also wanted to kill Liang and take risks, he didn't dare to do anything to the pirates in the nearby seas.

Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, that is not something he can deal with.

provoked these two people, and it is estimated that his good days will come to an end.

Even if there is one person, it is easy to gather more than 10,000 warships.

Isn't it like playing with yourself?

For the sake of your own life, staying away from these pirates is the best way to do it.

Besides, whether it is Li Xiang or Zheng Zhilong, they have not given themselves any benefits.

Otherwise, just relying on that little money, how can I feed the family.

This is very unrealistic.

Originally, the Mori Ryuzo was desperate, and there was no hope for the revival of the Mori family and the revival of the Mori family.

However, this time he suddenly saw an opportunity.

Yes, a chance to turn the Maori family around.

I don't know where the road came from. They actually shelled the commercial town of Osaka and completely destroyed the commercial town and turned it into a ruin.

When Mori learned about this, he just felt as if his opportunity had come.

As for how many compatriots in Osaka's commercial town were killed by those foreigners, he wouldn't have thought about these things.

He just thought that these foreigners had shelled Osaka's commercial town, and the shogunate would definitely have to react to it.

And if these foreigners want to come to the country, then they must have a sea boat.

Since there are sea ships, then to deal with these people, you need a naval army.

And himself, isn't he a general of the navy.

Ha Lu Ha!

Delivered to the door. It's not what the opportunity is.

Mori Ryuzo was excited.

At that time, he was afraid that after these foreigners shelled the commercial town of Osaka, they would quickly retreat.

When the time comes, I can't catch up if I want to.

But I don't think about it, these foreigners don't know if Lu Dao is an idiot or a fool.

After they bombarded the town of Osaka, not only did they not run away, but they fought a battle with the Osaka army and defeated the Osaka army of 5,000 men.

It stands to reason that I should run away after that.

No!

It turns out. Once again, Maori guessed wrong.

After defeating the Osaka soldiers, the foreigners did not leave, but began to set up temporary camps.

When Mori Ryuzo heard the news, he really didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at that time.

Let's just say that these guys don't run away. Then it's your own exploits.

Subsequently, when he wanted to persuade Ishida Hiroshi, he didn't expect that the order from Ishida Hiroshi had already been given.

The shogunate had its own army to mobilize a naval army, and then assembled it from the sea off Osaka. Then attack the fleet of those foreigners, preferably annihilating them completely, so that the foreigners on the shore have no way to retreat.

And the shogunate's order also said that as long as you complete this task. Then the shogun would divide the Wakayama area and hand it over to Mori Ryuzo to manage, so that he could be a small feudal lord daimyo.

Isn't this what Maori Dragon dreams of?

When he heard this order, he was so excited that he couldn't put it into words.

In this era, being a big name is the way out, and being a martial artist has no way out.

And especially in the Wa Kingdom, which had become war-free, it was very difficult to become a daimyo again.

Therefore, Maori Longzao cherishes this opportunity to turn over very much.

Of course, the messenger who delivered the order still said something else to Maori Ryuzo very cryptically.

This is a very simple statement, that is, the person who won the Maori family this opportunity to turn over is the general's wife, Lailaizi.

Therefore, the messenger told him that he must remember who gave him the opportunity to turn over, and that he himself should know who he should be loyal to in the future.

Maori Dragons are not fools.

Of course, he knew what the messenger meant by saying such things to himself, and he had to accept the other party's meaning before he could do it.

Otherwise, that Lailaizi has a crooked mouth, and he won't want to turn over in his life.

Therefore, at that time, the Maori dragon made it very clear, and categorically expressed his goodwill acceptance to the messenger, and promised that he would be loyal to Lailaizi.

Mori Ryuzo is not afraid that the general will test him, because the messenger who conveys the order to him is the strange father of Raiko Takeuchi Ren.

For this strange old man, as a military general directly under the shogunate, Maori Ryuzo, it is all too familiar.

Therefore, he knew that this was definitely not the general's attempt to test himself.

Moreover, even if it is a temptation, it is impossible for this guy Takeuchi Ren to be tempted.

Rumble!

Not far from his flagship, a column of water was set off again.

The rumbling cannon sound pulled the Mori Ryuzo back from his state of distraction.

Seriously, he had thought that this trip would be easy to complete, but when he engaged these foreigners, he immediately realized that these enemies were not easy to deal with. (To be continued......)
