Chapter 1219: Furious Tokugawa Iemitsu

Edo Castle, the current Tokugawa Iemitsu is going crazy!

Originally, he was entertaining a few retainers, and a few of them were drinking happily, when they were frightened by the dense sound of artillery in the direction of Edo Bay, and even the violent explosion caused the buildings in the main hall to shake, and the plates and plates on the table shook and made a crisp collision sound.

Cannons, dense cannons!

The Tokugawa family jumped up, and the other retainers also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on!

"Someone, someone! Ango Yamashita! Ango Yamashita! ”

The samurai Yamashita Aofu, a guard on duty outside the temple gate, stumbled into the main hall.

"General!"

Yamashita Angfu fell to his knees and said urgently.

Tokugawa Iemitsu roared angrily: "Yagaya Road! Takeo Yamashita, what the hell is going on? Where did such a dense cannon sound come from? ”

Yamashita Angfu's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "General Kaiyu, I don't understand my humble position, the sound of artillery is coming from Edo Bay, judging by the sound of artillery alone, this wave of attacks, I'm afraid there will be no less than hundreds of shells, and the movement is too big......"

"Baga, then why don't you get out immediately and check with General Ben, what the hell is going on!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu roared.

"Hello!"

Yamashita Angfu didn't dare to slack off, got up from the ground, and ran out in a puff of smoke.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's wine couldn't be drunk anymore, and he shouted to Aoyama Tadashi on the side: "Aoyama Tadashi, immediately go to the artillery battalion with the general's warrant, mobilize artillery, move in the direction of Edo Bay, and prepare to protect Edo Castle!" ”

Tadashi Aoyama said blankly: "General, protect Edo Castle?" ”

"Yaga, are you stupid? Now that the artillery is rumbling outside, shaking the sky and the earth, the enemy and the enemy are unknown, Edo Castle is on the edge of Edo Bay, and if we don't mobilize the artillery battalion, do you want the enemy to capture the entire Edo Castle in one go? ”

The Tokugawa family hates iron and waits for Tadashi Aoyama, if it weren't for the fact that this guy grew up with him since he was a child and has deep feelings, he would have cleaned him up a long time ago, greedy, stupid, and he has no talent for farts, it's just a waste!

Aoyama Tadashi was startled, hurriedly agreed, and turned around to move his troops.

It didn't take long for Yamashita to run back.

"General Kaiyu, the humble duty has been figured out, Edo Bay, Edo Bay found a large number of Dutch warships, suddenly launched an artillery bombardment on our Edo Bay Battery, we were caught off guard, two batteries suffered heavy losses, more than a dozen artillery pieces were destroyed, hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Edo Bay Pier was already in chaos......"

Yamashita said abruptly.

The Tokugawa family's phosgene face is pale, Dutch! Did the Dutch go crazy? Shogun Ben only handed over the trade rights of Toei to the Dutch, and it can be said that they have done their best, and they dare to attack Edo Bay!

"These red hairs! It's really tired and crooked! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu roared through gritted teeth.

"General, something is wrong......

The retainer on the side, Masayo Fumio, said in a low voice: "General, this Dutch attack is too unreasonable, and it is too abrupt, you must know that nearly half of the ships docked in Edo Bay are Dutch, and yesterday they were full of Dutch merchant ships, they suddenly attacked, I am afraid that it is not only the ships of Dongying that will be harmed, but even those Dutch merchant ships have been beaten, the ultimate interests of the Dutch, how could they do such a thing?" ”

"How do I know?"

Although Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth with hatred, he was already alert in his heart, the Dutch were too strong at sea, their fleet was too strong, if it was really an attack launched by the Dutch, the threat to Toei would be too great, even if Matsudaira Nobutsuna led the Toei Sailor to rush back, it would be difficult to be someone's opponent, what was this Dutch going to do? Really fell out of the face, blocked the sea route by himself, did not allow the Dutch to trade, did not benefit the Dutch at all, even if the transfer of trade rights to the Spaniards or the Portuguese could bring a huge blow to the Dutch!

Tokugawa Iemitsu shouted: "Order, the artillery battalion rushed to Edo Bay with all its might, prepared for battle, mobilized troops from Gyeonggi, assembled in the direction of Edo Bay, protected Edo Castle, and sent people to continue to investigate the military situation in Edo Bay!" ”

Then, the military information on Edo Bay was passed on one after another.

In less than an hour, there were already seven or eight battle reports.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was completely furious, the fort on Edo Bay was almost completely destroyed, more than half of the troops were killed or wounded, and countless houses and shops on the harbor were damaged.

Knowing that the last battle report was put in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Iemitsu woke up - the fleet on the sea did not look like the Dutch fleet, although it was flying the Dutch flag, but looking at the dress of the officers and soldiers on the battleship, it looked like a soldier of the Ming Empire.

That's right......

The Tokugawa family came to their senses, it was the Ming Empire that came to find trouble, and he took in the remnants of the Zheng family, and at the same time gave the Hirado Domain to Tagawa Nanazaemon, allowing them to recuperate and trade on Hirado Mishima, this is a slap in the face of the Ming Empire, no wonder they sent troops to attack Edo Bay, this is a naked demonstration!

"Order, order the Guards Battalion to go to the Edo Bay Wharf with General Ben to inspect it!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu shouted.

Not long after, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already arrived in Edo Bay, and by this time, the imperial fleet of the Ming Dynasty had begun to evacuate Edo Bay.

When he came to Edo Bay, Tokugawa Iemitsu discovered that the damage caused by the Ming fleet was even more serious than expected!

Houses collapsed, one shop after another was destroyed, this is the richest place in Dongying, this is not counting, the two forts were beaten too miserably, on the forts, there are blown up brick and stone debris everywhere, and even there are fragments of artillery that were blown up, these are not the most miserable, the most miserable thing is that on the forts, the stumps and broken arms of the soldiers, the cold corpses, the wounded who are constantly wailing, full of messes, can't bear to read, the two batteries are completely abandoned!

"Nishiemon, Nishiemon!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu roared.

With gauze wrapped around his arm, Nishiemon stumbled over and fell to his knees: "The Great Imperial Palace, the Great Imperial Palace!" ”

"Yaga!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu kicked Nishiemon over with one kick and roared angrily, "This is the fort that Shogun Ben gave you?" More than 2,000 people, and dozens of artillery pieces, you destroyed me in less than two hours! What else do you have to do? You should seppuku, seppuku kill yourself! Dead, dead! ”
