Yokohama, Kyushu Island, Japan...... Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Well, if it weren't for the fact that the Spanish caravans often traded in this excellent port, Yokohama would have been just an ordinary fishing village.

With the Tokugawa shogunate's ban on domestic Christianity and the promulgation and implementation of the national lockdown decree, the fledgling town of Yokohama once again declined, and the trend of vigorous development was interrupted by an order from the upper echelons......

A Japanese man wearing a hat and a shabby kimono, with a well-maintained katana by his side, sits in a tavern in the center of Yokohama, holding a sake jug and tasting without a sip.

The tavern owner looked at the down-and-out Oda Kurako, sighed secretly, came to the wine table, and sat down: "Oda-kun, haven't you put it down yet?" ”

The down-and-out samurai named Oda Kurako smiled bitterly and drank the wine cup in his hand, "Put it down?" What if I don't put it down? I also understand that there are many royal families like me who have been abandoned by their masters, and now that there is no need to fight, those greedy daimyo and generals are eager to die drunk all day in the gentle country, and naturally they are not willing to allocate more food to feed us 'useless' samurai......

Hey~ What a noble bushido, it's just a bunch of 'wild dogs' that no one wants! ”

"Otherwise, Xiao Tianjun, you come to me as a buddy, although there is no big wealth, but at least food is not a problem, now in this world, it is good to live."

Oda Kurako shook his head: "Shima Renjun, I have received a piece of your heart, but I am still young, for the dream of more than ten years, I have to fight again, I heard that the Nagasu Domain in the west of Honshu Island is recruiting a large number of wandering samurai, I came to Yokohama to take a smuggling boat on the way, go there to see, Shima Renjun, you know, there are too many checkpoints on the road, I can only seek the sea route......"

"Okay, Oda-kun, if you have no other way out, just come to Yokohama to find me, although I, Shimahito, don't have much power, but it's still a bit useful to talk in Yokohama Town."

Oda Kurako's heart warmed, and she just wanted to raise her glass when she suddenly heard the sound of artillery outside!

Bang~~~

Oda Kurako's expression changed, and he stood up and said, "Someone is firing a cannon!" ”

Shimaren was more steady, frowning: "The Yokohama Fort hasn't been repaired for a long time, why did it suddenly ring?" And ......"

The continuous artillery bombardment made the faces of the two more and more ugly, and Oda Kurako and Shimaren looked at each other and shouted in unison: "This is not the sound of our battery artillery bombardment!" ”

Oda Kurako lifted the katana beside him, and said to Shimaren with a solemn face: "Shimahito-kun, it is very likely that there has been a mutation in Yokohama Port, it is better for you to hide as soon as possible, no matter who occupies here, with your identity, as long as you do not die in the hands of the rebels, you can save your life!" ”

Oda Kurako just wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Shimahito: "Oda-kun, you have now been removed from the Tokugawa family, who are you going to fight for?"

And listening to this continuous artillery sound, this time, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck, Yokohama Town is a direct subordinate of the Tokugawa family, are they still worth your death? ”

Oda Kurako's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart: Although he is not afraid of death, ~ is it worth it?

Shima Renjun saw Oda Kurako stop, and said with a smile: "Hide with me, no matter which daimyo rebels, or someone else kills it, it doesn't have much to do with us, maybe, with your ability, you don't have to go so far to the Changzhou Domain to find the new master!" ”

Being persuaded by Shimaren like this, most of the anger in Odakurako's heart suddenly leaked, and he recalled the injustice he had suffered before, and sighed: "Okay, let's hide first, and see which adult's soldiers and horses dare to rebel against the powerful Tokugawa family." ”

――――

Bang~ A manned boat crashed into the beach, and Mondola, who was also a soldier, pulled out his command knife and pointed at the port: "Warriors of the Empire, the credit for breaking the territory is in front of you, kill all the humans who dare to resist in front of you!" ”

"Kill! Long live the Empire! ”

The Japanese on the tidal flats had slipped away by the time the cannon sounded, and the only counterattack in Yokohama was the firing of the two old batteries, which was more of an early warning than a revolt......

Because the battery in Yokohama town had only been fired twice, it was silenced by a salvo of artillery from the approaching expeditionary fleet......

The fleet admiral on the flagship put down the monoculars and said to Major Wang Gang beside him with a smile: "It's really vulnerable, this excellent port of Japan only has symbolic resistance, and even one percent of the defense power of the imperial port cannot be reached, I can't figure it out, with such a weak protective force, why didn't those European white ghosts colonize Japan everywhere?" ”

Wang Gang also echoed with disdain: "Hehe, perhaps, Japan is too poor, except for some silver mines, Japan seems to lack everything, those mercenary white ghosts, naturally do not want to bother to attack such a poor island country, compared to the American continent, Japan is nothing!" ”

"Your Excellency Major, you said that Your Majesty wants to gain a foothold in Japan at all costs, but for what exactly? That little bit of silver is not worth the Empire's manpower and material resources! ”

"I don't know much about these secrets that belong to the upper echelons of the empire, but before I set out on the expedition, I heard rumors that His Majesty's goal seems to be the huge and rich ancient country of the East, and the island of Japan is just a springboard!"

Hearing Major Wang Gang's narration, the fleet admiral nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Wang Gang, "The battery in Yokohama has been destroyed, what else do you need me to do to cooperate with your landing?" ”

"The Admiral only needs to empty and capture the Japanese ships and ships around him, the marines have already begun to land, and it will not be long before the Imperial Army flag can be planted at the head of the city of Yokohama!"

The landing of Mondola was unexpectedly smooth, to be precise, not a single enemy was encountered during the landing......

The patrolmen, who were not close to the sea, dispersed like birds and beasts meeting wolves after the people of Mondora landed, and this is it, or is it a relatively densely populated port town?

However, Mondola naturally will not complain about the weakness of the enemy, he will only take advantage of the opportunity to expand the results of the battle! (To be continued.) )
