After Zhao Hongyu's explanation, Wang Fuzi had an understanding of the cause of this incident in his heart.

At this time, the shelling of Osaka's commercial town continued.

The once bustling commercial town was already on fire, and it was completely shrouded in thick smoke.

Half of the buildings in the town have collapsed and been destroyed.

The remaining buildings are also dilapidated or crumbling.

It was only a matter of time before the entire commercial town was in ruins.

By now, the shelling had been going on for half an hour, and the shells on the various battleships were almost running out.

Therefore, the current shelling has begun to become sparse.

Zhao Hongyu had already been prepared for such a thing, and he had already prepared a large number of cannonballs in the cabin of the Sea King, and when the other warships finished shooting their shells, he would naturally send ships over to carry them.

Anyway, I have a plug-in, so I didn't buy it again.

This cannonball is very cheap, but it's just a big iron ball.

This thing is really cheap compared to the shells of later generations.

As soon as Zhao Hongyu and Wang Fuzi's conversation fell, Sara interjected.

"My dear, though you have already told you what you are planning and what is happening here. But I would also like to suggest that we evacuate this place for the time being, because we only have fifty-two warships, which is too little military strength to attack a country. ”

Sarah's consideration cannot be said to be wrong.

Zhao Hongyu also needs to admit this.

People are also doing this for their own good, aren't they?

However, Zhao Hongyu is a person to rely on, but what he relies on cannot be said to Saramin.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly at Sara and responded: "I know what you are worried about, and I also know that your idea is normal, but I hope you can believe me, I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do." And I'm not the kind of guy who doesn't know the height of the sky. But I am very confident that the Japanese are not our opponents. ”

Speaking of the counterattack from the Japanese side, Zhao Hongyu exudes strong self-confidence.

Sara didn't understand where her little husband's confidence came from.

"We have fifty-two warships, but you know the range and speed of the artillery. Therefore, our fleet of more than 300 warships can also defeat the opponent in half a month. As for land warfare, you don't have to worry about anything, I won't be so stupid about landing operations. ”

After speaking, Zhao Hongyu turned his head to look at Wang Fuzi and asked, "You know a lot about the Japanese people, so do you know how many warships their domestic naval division has?" ”

Don't really say it. Zhao Hongyu is really asking the right person.

Wang Fuzi and Liu Da scarred them, and before they were caught by the Dutch, they mixed with Japan to the waters of Macao.

And their boss Li Xiang, his old nest is in the Wa Kingdom.

It can be said that I have quite a good understanding of the situation in Japan.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu asked himself, Wang Fuzi thought for a while and then replied: "The sailors here in the Wa Kingdom are not very strong, and what I learned is that there are about 600 warships in the country. Among them, there are only twenty ironclad ships that they claim to be invincible, and the rest are some medium-sized ships, and the guns on each ship are only four at most. ”

Burst!

Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Even Sarah's expression became very strange.

Four guns, which is also called a battleship?

Know the way. The warships of the Europeans generally have more than ten ships.

Not to mention the warships of the Song Empire, the smallest warship was the improved Dutch warship, but it also had ninety-two guns.

As for such a giant ship as the battleship Sea King. There were one hundred and eight guns.

Wang Fuzi continued: "The ships of the Japanese are smaller than the warships of the Empire. If there is a naval battle, we will have an advantage, because our warships are much higher than the other side. Therefore, if the other party wants to start a broadside battle, it will not be so easy. ”

Wang Fuzi used his own vision as a pirate and began to analyze.

At this time, Zhao Hongyu answered: "In fact, they don't have a chance to engage in broadside battles at all, our warships are very fast, and they can keep a certain distance from the other party, neither letting them get out of the range of our artillery, but also not letting the Japanese catch up with us, and our artillery has a long range, so we can definitely press them without a little danger." ”

Zhao Hongyu also analyzed it according to the configuration of his own warships and firepower.

Wang Fuzi didn't know much about the situation of the Imperial warships, he only heard from time to time that the Imperial warships were fast and had fierce firepower.

"As for the military strength of the Japanese side at sea, we have inquired about the merchants who have been to Europe, so we have a very detailed understanding." , Zhao Hongyu withdrew this banner again as an excuse. "What Master Wang said is similar to the information we have obtained, the naval strength of the Japanese side is not very strong, and the warships are not very good, and at the same time, Master Wang has not said another situation, which is the most beneficial for us."

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Sara blinked curiously and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

At this time, after Sara heard that Wang Fuzi and Zhao Hongyu had analyzed Japan's naval strength for her, she had already put down all her worries.

Yes, if Japan's naval strength is like this, then I really don't have to worry about anything.

Because with such a warship, how can it be an opponent of the Imperial warship.

Come to think of it, too.

A battleship has only four guns, is this a fishing boat?

In fact, Sara couldn't have imagined that the Japanese navy would be like this.

In fact, Sara can't be blamed, because the situation in the East and the West is different.

Europeans are now in the Age of Discovery, and there are many pirates at sea, and the interests of all countries are involved.

Therefore, the Europeans need to have warships with powerful firepower to guarantee their interests at sea.

But in the East, it was different, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or Japan, both countries began to close their borders.

This led to a great atrophy of the orient's navigation skills, and even stagnation, not to mention regression.

It is precisely because of this idea that there are not many guns on the battleships of the East. That's normal.

Moreover, the naval warfare skills of the East have begun to lag behind Europe.

At this time, the naval battle in the east still used broadside warfare.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that the sea voyage was too long and dangerous.

The strength of the Europeans in the East is not strong, so the East would have seen the strength of the Europeans a long time ago.

After all, the Europeans of this era really wanted to be ahead of the Orient in their seafaring skills.

Of course, if Zheng He's drawings of treasure ships and frigates in the Western Ocean are not destroyed, then the battleships of the Europeans are scum.

But anyway. Liu Daxia, the great sinner of Huaxia, has destroyed the drawings, which has caused Huaxia's technology to regress.

In fact, in the history of the East, events and people who led to the regression of entire civilization for their own selfish sake always appeared from time to time.

Liu Daxia is not the first.

But he's not the last one either.

Europe is wonderful, the Japanese country is wonderful, and China is not wonderful.

Zhao Hongyu turned his head and looked at Sara who was eager to learn. She was looking at herself with sparkling eyes, waiting for her answer.

At this time, Sara's eyes were watery and flashing, although she was almost thirty years old. But in her mature body, there is a simple soul hidden.

Zhao Hongyu's favorite is this.

"There are five or six hundred warships in the Japanese kingdom. But these ships were not in the hands of the shogunate. Rather, there were so many warships in the hands of all the daimyos, and the warships controlled by the shogunate combined. ”

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's explanation, Sara shook her head in confusion.

For the shogunate, there are daimyo or something. She didn't know anything about it.

Therefore, she didn't understand what Zhao Hongyu meant by this at all.

But Sara can't be blamed, after all, it's the first time she's coming to the East. Came to the Japanese side for the first time and has not landed yet.

Therefore, how could she have a detailed understanding of the domestic situation in Japan, one of the eastern countries?

She didn't understand, and that's right.

However, Wang Fuzi's eyes lit up after listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, and then he raised his hand and stroked his goatee, and nodded secretly.

Yes, although the Ishida shogunate was in power in Japan, there are still many daimyo in Japan.

These daimyo were nominally subordinate to the orders of the shogunate and the imperial family, but to put it bluntly, they had a high degree of autonomy.

Otherwise, the Warring States Period would not have existed in the first place.

Moreover, at that time, Ishida united with other daimyo to confront Tokugawa, and those daimyo who had interests entangled with Ishida may have gotten some promise from Ishida.

Therefore, after defeating Tokugawa, they gained a lot of benefits.

In fact, in today's Japan, the small lords obey the big lords, and the big lords rely on their own strength and controlled territory to control the Japanese imperial family.

And those small lords, that is, the big names, also have a lot of troops in their hands.

It's a privilege.

Although the navy of all Japan was nominally under the control of the Ishida shogunate, the Ishida shogunate was only able to control a small part, and there were less than a hundred warships in this part.

The remaining warships were scattered among the other daimyos.

It sounds like there are five or six hundred warships in all of Japan, which seems like a lot.

However, in fact, Japan's naval strength is extremely weak.

The reason is simple, it is too scattered.

As for the shogunate, although they could issue orders to summon those warships to fight when they were in danger.

But there is a very troublesome problem here.

That is, the other minor lords wanted to control the strength of the navy and prevent the shogunate from weakening them, so even if they were called, they would personally lead the team to fight, rather than hand over power to the shogunate.

But in this way, there will be some situations where the command does not work.

As a pirate who was very familiar with the Wa Kingdom, Wang Fuzi knew these things very well.

It is precisely because of this that after listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

If you are not very familiar with this matter, it is impossible to understand it.

And His Royal Highness the crown prince from the Song Empire in the distant Americas, but through the news transmitted back by those Europeans, he can accurately judge the situation on the side of the Wa Kingdom, it seems that this prince is really a genius.

It is conceivable that it is no accident that the Zhao and Song Empires were defeated by the Mongols and sailed across the ocean to the Americas to re-emerge after hundreds of years.

The ancestors of the Zhao and Song royal families must be blessed.

Master Wang understands, but that doesn't mean Sara understands.

Although there are lords on the European side, they will definitely not be as troublesome as the Japanese side.

Moreover, there are still vassal states on the European side.

It's just that Sara doesn't understand the situation in the east, so even after listening to Zhao Hongyu's explanation, she is confused.

Zhao Hongyu saw Sara's brows furrowed slightly, thoughtful but always unable to figure it out, and finally showed a distressed look, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile and explain to her in detail.

When the time comes, Sara really thinks she's the kind of stupid person she is.

"Well, the daimyo is like a lord of Europe, and the shogunate is like a prince. Although there is a royal family in this country, the royal family has declined and does not have military power in its hands, and the prince has the most military power, so he is the largest, and the other small lords have to obey the prince's orders. ”

Zhao Hongyu changed to Sara's very easy-to-understand way to explain the problem on the Japanese side to Sara.

And Zhao Hongyu's way really made Sara easier to accept.

"And the navy of this country, the shogunate, which is like the prince's side, can only control a few. The rest of the warships are in the hands of other minor lords. Although the shogunate is like a prince, they can issue orders to mobilize and requisition those warships, and assemble them to fight the enemy, but the other minor lords, in case the shogunate has taken their own power, they will personally lead the team......"

Zhao Hongyu said it in great detail this time, and his way was also very smart.

In this way, Sara understands perfectly.

Therefore, after listening to Zhao Hongyu's explanation, Sara exhaled a long breath.

"Oh, that's what it is. Things are really troublesome here in the East, but I'm relieved to hear you say this, and I think it's really hard for them to fight us when the government decrees are different. ”

Sara is smart and belongs to the kind of person who can understand it at all.

Moreover, before meeting Zhao Hongyu, she was also a nobleman in Europe.

Therefore, she is very clear about the things and the way in this.

Zhao Hongyu smiled at this time and said to Sara: "Then you don't have to worry, I said that we don't have to retreat at all, these Japanese people can't be our opponents at all." ”

Wang Fuzi and Sara had been persuaded by Zhao Hongyu at this time, and they would never mention these things about retreating and leaving again.

By this time, the shelling had stopped, and nearby warships began to send transport boats to move supplies closer to the Sea King. (To be continued......)
