Chapter 344: Fight for the breech gun!

The reason why Zhao Dutian, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, suddenly made up his mind to take advantage of the respite of the confrontation stage to concentrate all the elites drawn out to form an expeditionary army, and did not hesitate to break through the maritime blockade of the Kingdom of Spain and Portugal and exterminate the rebellion of Japan at the cost of a large number of losses of all the ships in the country, is naturally because Zhao Dutian has a full grasp!

In the Japanese kingdom of Kyoto, Paparov's sacrifice was definitely worth it!

The value here is not that Paprov dragged hundreds of thousands of Japanese to accompany him to the funeral before he died, but because after the First World War in Kyoto, Japan, the rebel samurai class and daimyo completely lost the hearts of the lower-class Japanese!

Hundreds of thousands of people have been dragged to fill the muzzle of the cannon, even if those Japanese rebels have repeatedly preached the noble meaning of independence and freedom, but what can the Japanese civilians below understand?

They don't care about independence and freedom, anyway, when Japan was independent in the past, their life was not much better!

But now, for the sake of independence and freedom, his family and friends have changed from a living person to an urn......

Can this be endured?!

Well, it turns out that the Japanese untouchables really put up with it......

Forbearance is forbearance, but hatred has been buried, perhaps after these Japanese daimyo samurai took power, they used several generations of brainwashing and education to wipe out the hatred and turn the untouchables into obedient pariahs again, but unfortunately, Zhao Dutian will not give them these time!

After learning that the Japanese daimyo samurai class was perverse and used their lives to fill the city at any cost, Zhao Dutian couldn't keep his mouth shut for a happy day!

His greatest concern has since vanished!

The ocean of people's war will never happen in Japan in a short period of time!

How much combat power can the remaining Japanese samurai, who occupy a minority, have?

Hehe......

In Zhao Dutian's eyes, the time is ripe to purge the Japanese samurai class, truly rule Japan in an all-round way, complete the task, and open the breech gun technology!

The only difficulty is the battle with the combined fleets of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal in the Eastern Seas!

However, Zhao Dutian was not worried that the expeditionary escort fleet formed by exhausting his family resources would be defeated, because the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal did not have a single first-class battleship in the naval fleet in the East, and the largest battleship was only an old-fashioned second-class flagship!

The advantage of the combined naval fleet of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal is only that there are many ships, and in the Sea of Japan they can gather hundreds of warships, and it is absolutely impossible for the escort fleet of the Han Empire to break through without being bloodletted, the problem is only the size of the loss!

But as long as the expeditionary army can land in Japan safely, the Japanese rebels will definitely not be able to resist, and when the Japanese daimyo and samurai class who have lost their roots are cleansed, the Han Empire will usher in a new era of breech guns!

The departure of the huge Han expeditionary fleet naturally could not be concealed from the anti-Han alliance, including the transport ships, hundreds of large and small ships, the daily consumption of materials is not a small amount, and they all need to be replenished along the way, so it is not difficult to grasp the traces of this kind of expeditionary fleet!

Wooden-hulled ships are not as large as the large iron-hulled battleships of the later period, and it is not important to go to sea for a few months!

In fact, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal did not want to fight against this Han expeditionary escort fleet, after all, those 5 giant-like first-class battleships are not good matches, and the Kingdom of Spain has built a first-class battleship in service on its own European soil, and it is very clear about the power of this type of battleship!

Well, there were originally two ships in the Kingdom of Spain, but one of them was sunk by the British in a previous war......

The British did have quite a few first-class battleships, and there was even a special battleship of the Sea King, which surpassed any first-class battleship in the world!

It's just that the British fleet is strong, but there are many sea power areas to be maintained, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are the fundamental interests of the British, and the British have not yet opened the route to the east, so naturally they will not send a large-scale fleet to come, not to mention, this is still the traditional sphere of influence of the Spaniards and Portuguese!

However, this time the navies of the Spaniards and the Portuguese had to intercept the expeditionary convoy of the Han Kingdom, because the pie was too big!

There are more than 30,000 elites of the Han Kingdom who have experienced the war in the expeditionary fleet, and it can be said that it is the only remaining essence of the South American battlefield!

If they all sink to the bottom of the sea, it will undoubtedly have huge benefits to launch the next South American battle against the anti-Han alliance!

Recruits are easy to train, but this kind of elite veterans who survived the war is rare!

On the contrary, the life and death of Japan has become an irrelevant issue in the eyes of the anti-Han alliance, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese has long been despised by the bigwigs of the anti-Han alliance......

It's been so long since they rebelled, except for Kyoto City, not a single major Japanese city along the coast has been defeated, and this group of Japanese daimyo and samurai is just like that......

In this way, the combined naval fleets of Spain and Portugal, with more than 100 warships and more than 50 warships of the Han expeditionary escort fleet, fought four battles in the waters off the coast of Japan in the spring of the 41st year of the Han Dynasty!

The Portuguese absorbed the naval tactics of the Chinese and adopted a large number of arson ships in a vain attempt to ram and ignite the first-class battleships of the Han Kingdom!

Under the instruction of Zhao Dutian, the admirals of the Han State completely abandoned the concept of protecting ships, and completely wiped out all the combined naval ships of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal in the East with four naval battles at the cost of sinking two first-class battleships, two first-class battleships, sinking more than 20 other types of battleships, and wounding all the remaining warships!

Of the hundreds of large and small warships of the coalition forces (not including arsonist ships), less than ten escaped in the end!

Although the Han Navy won the final victory, if you look at the value of the sunken ships, the Han Navy did not take advantage, you know, the cost of a first-class battleship is equivalent to several second- and third-class battleships!

It can be said that the Han navy won a crushing victory completely by virtue of the huge superiority of ships!

This can't be helped, the Han navy has been formed for a short time, and compared with the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal, which have a history of hundreds of years of seafaring, the experience gap between sailors is still quite obvious!

However, victory is victory, and the Eastern Combined Navy fleet, which suffered heavy losses, completely lost its sea supremacy, and all of them left the waters of Japan and retreated to the waters of Southeast Asia!

The expeditionary force of the Han Kingdom, under the escort of the expeditionary fleet losing more than half, officially landed on the Japanese island on a large scale!

The coastal cities of Japan were all controlled by the Han garrison, and the landing went very smoothly!
