Chapter 945: The Battle of Kyushu Eliminated (3)

The shock of the Song Empire's fleet entering the port of Nagasaki was extraordinary.

The local residents who live here, as well as those of the Oriental Sea who come here to do business and run on the sea all year round, have never seen such a large sea ship.

The warships of the Song Empire were not only huge in size, but also very terrifying in appearance.

For those who have seen this huge sea warship, it is said that this is simply a sea monster.

Many people will secretly think in their hearts that if they were attacked by such warships at sea, then their fate would not be very good.

I originally thought that the warships of the Southern Barbarians (Europeans) were already very sophisticated.

But after seeing the warships of the Song Empire today, they realized that they were really frogs at the bottom of the well, and they had never seen anything in the world.

Compared with the warships of the Song Empire, those warships of the Southern Barbarians are really scum.

It's a pity that the people of this era don't know what 'combat effectiveness is only five', otherwise they would definitely have such an idea.

At this time, in the berth of Nagasaki Port, in addition to the warships of the Song Empire, there were also many Portuguese ships docked.

So it's obvious that people can compare them.

At this time, the Portuguese warships had a maximum of sixteen guns. With such a number of guns, it is really a drop in the bucket compared to a copycat improved Imperial warship with ninety-six guns.

Although there are not many guns on the ships of the Orientals, this does not mean that they do not understand the power of artillery.

This thing is definitely a weapon of naval warfare.

Not to mention anything else, the scale and power of the sixteen guns and the ninety-six guns in one bombardment can be calculated by any fool.

In particular, the Imperial warships were much larger than the Portuguese ones.

In fact, it was not that the Song Empire had to build such a large warship. However, if the size of the battleship was not larger, it would not be possible to arrange so many guns.

It's a 24-pound gun, but it takes up a lot of space.

What's more, it's not just about artillery on a battleship. And the hundreds of sailors who needed living space, ammunition storage, and a whole bunch of supplies.

Therefore, the size of the battleship had to be made larger.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu was able to get some construction drawings from the Metaverse, and he was also able to train some carpenters.

It would be very difficult to build such a giant ship just by virtue of the people of this era.

You must know that Zhao Hongyu's cottage improved warships are at least more than 80 years ahead of this era. Not to mention the other three battleships, which are behemoths that are more than 150 years ahead of technology.

Although the Japanese people of Nagasaki were shocked, they looked back and thought about it. This time, a new lord seems to be very powerful. Needless to say, the army under his command is strong, and he can't imagine that even the water division is so powerful.

This seems to be a good thing for the people under his rule.

After all, most of the people here in Nagasaki and Kyushu will deal with the sea, and many people will rely on the sea to eat, that is, to be maritime merchants.

It's just that they are suffering from the fact that the sea power of the lords of Kyushu is not strong, so they can't have much development.

Even at sea, you have to be exploited by those pirates.

But once you have a strong navy on your side, then this situation will change.

Maybe those hateful pirates won't dare to fight their ideas again.

In the future, they can also be like Ming Dynasty merchants. Traveling back and forth at sea makes more money, doesn't it?

As Nagasaki businessmen who were relatively open-minded and exposed to the outside world, they were able to see this.

So, after the initial shock. One by one, they were happy.

As for who rules them, they don't really care.

Anyway, they all pay taxes, and aren't they still like this when they are ruled by their own compatriots.

There is no difference at all.

But since their own compatriots are so weak. It doesn't seem to matter if you change to a strong ruler.

What I have to say here is that the thinking of the Japanese people is really a little different.

Although the Wa people are also an ethnic group in the East, and they are very respectful of the culture of the Ming Dynasty. But they have some independent ideas of their own, but this idea is a bit different.

Because the defenders of Nagasaki Castle surrendered to the rudder, Nagasaki was not damaged, and the streets and buildings of the castle were intact.

When Zhao Hongyu's fleet docked in Nagasaki, most of the soldiers on the ship poured into Nagasaki Castle, except for the necessary remaining soldiers.

More than fifty warships, a total of more than 20,000 sailors.

In addition to those who remained on the battleship, the number of soldiers who poured into Nagasaki Castle was at least 13,400.

The arrival of Imperial soldiers suddenly made Nagasaki even more prosperous.

This will make the merchants in Nagasaki Castle smile from ear to ear.

With the entry of the Imperial soldiers into Nagasaki Castle, it brought commercial prosperity to Nagasaki. After some contact with the imperial soldiers, the merchants of Nagasaki found that these soldiers of the Song Empire, who were rumored to be fierce from the outside world, seemed to be very easy to deal with.

It's not as brutal as rumored.

They spend here, not like the soldiers under the command of the lord in the past, who always owe all kinds of expenses on credit and then make excuses and refuse to give them, these soldiers of the Song Empire are very generous, and they are also very polite when they buy things.

Compared to the compatriots who ruled them before, it was really a world and a world.

If this is the case, many people feel that there is nothing bad about being ruled by the Song Empire.

At the very least, they could make more money by being ruled by the Song Empire.

And being ruled by one's own compatriots will be at a loss or even upside down, as long as you are not stupid, you will make a choice.

Today, Nagasaki is bustling with pedestrians on the streets every day.

Nagasaki used to be lively, but it was never as lively as it is now.

But it's not surprising to think about it, after all, in addition to those sailors under Zhao Hongyu's command who went ashore to have fun and consume, the 20,000 people of the army here are also stationed in Nagasaki, and there are also many resting soldiers who have to spend in the city every day.

The spending power of more than 30,000 people should not be underestimated.

In addition, the soldiers of the Song Empire were all rich. As a result, the merchants of Nagasaki were immediately delighted.

You must know that the soldiers of the Song Empire usually pay twelve silver dragon oceans a month. For example, now this is wartime, and it is necessary to double the number of 24 pieces a month.

And the Song Empire's Long Yang is a real one or two, and such a salary is placed on the side of the Ming Dynasty, which is also enviable, not to mention the Japanese side.

In the past, the highest salary of the Kyushu Japanese soldiers was here in Nagasaki.

But it's only less than one or two in a month.

Therefore, how could those Japanese soldiers at the beginning have too much spending power.

Therefore. It is not surprising that all kinds of extortion, or even just credit, have appeared.

But now it's a good thing, after a change of people's rule, who would have thought that these people would be completely rich and handsome.

Even the soldiers at the bottom have a lot of money in their pockets.

Therefore, others dare not say that the people here in Nagasaki are very welcome to be ruled by such a group.

Yes, welcome to reign to the destruction of the universe.

The premise is that these rulers. Able to keep them rich and handsome.

Nagasaki was originally a commercial city, and there were many merchant ships from Goryeo, Ming, and even Southeast Asia and the Southern Barbarians.

In addition, it is flooded with a variety of products.

But. Even so, in many cases, it is only the big businessmen who make money.

Like some small people who are promoted to the bucket or something, they can't make any money at all.

But now it's different, because there are more than 30,000 rich uncles all of a sudden. Even the small people in Nagasaki Castle can make money.

Nowadays, even during the day, pubs are full, and even small restaurants are full.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Song Empire were not interested in prostitution or anything. After all, the quality of the women on the side of the Wa Kingdom is really too bad, and it can't arouse the slightest desire of the rich and handsome soldiers of the empire.

However, the prostitution bars here in Nagasaki are also full every day, and the women are making money from picking up customers.

The reason is very simple, although the Imperial soldiers are not interested, they can't stand Rodelni and their animals.

In the process of being hired by Zhao Hongyu to capture Kyushu, these guys really made a lot of money.

And after these Portuguese dicks had money, they immediately began to spend heavily and enjoy themselves as uncles.

They didn't even think about saving money.

Of course, this is people's view of consumption, and no one can object to it.

Now under Rodelny's command, in addition to the Portuguese mercenaries, there are many mercenaries of other nationalities.

Because when he was hired by Zhao Hongyu, he considered that the battle damage might be very large, so he asked his housekeeper to set up a recruitment team here in Nagasaki to gather those foreign mercenaries.

Therefore, in the process of the battle for Kyushu, although the soldiers under his command suffered great battle losses, because of this consideration in advance, his strength eventually not only did not shrink, but expanded a lot.

Today, the number of troops under Roderni has reached a full 2,000.

This is basically the European dicks who are already messing around in the East, and they have all been enveloped under his command.

These guys are frequent customers of prostitutes, taverns, and casinos in Nagasaki Castle, and they are rich and rich, so they are also very generous.

Especially when Rodelni announced to them that he had been hired by His Majesty the Crown Prince of the Song Empire for a long time, and that they could receive five dragon oceans every month when there was no war in peacetime, these guys did not hesitate to spend money at all.
