The land of the capital is turbulent, and Ruoxi's serious illness is a fuse. And Lin Feng's accumulation has become more and more consolidated. As the youngest prince, there are many people in the court who are optimistic about Lin Feng, so they secretly allow their subordinates to vote.

Lin Feng knew that the crown prince would be deposed for the second time next year, so he asked Kangxi to use troops to stay away from the storm whirlpool for the time being. After Lin Feng's efforts, Kangxi agreed to attack Japan.

Lin Feng invested a lot of silver in the navy, and by the time he arrived, there were more than 300 large and small ships. Since the naval soldiers were formed by Lin Feng, this time Kangxi ordered Lin Feng to lead 30,000 naval soldiers as the commander-in-chief, and nearly 100,000 ironclad cavalry on the troop transport ship to attack Japan. He also sent Li Guangdi to supervise the army.

Li Guangdi had already handed over the affairs of the Beijing News to others, but now he was idle. But Kangxi didn't want him to rest, so he followed Lin Feng on an expedition across the sea. Although Lin Feng did not accept Li Guangdi, some of Lin Feng's remarks and political opinions still made Li Guangdi agree.

It was the first time Lee had seen such a large naval fleet. When he and Lin Feng boarded the flagship, they were already sighing.

"Prince, it's the first time I've seen such a large fleet. In that year, Shi Lang led his troops to attack Taiwan, although there were many ships and armor. I'm afraid it can't be as much as one-tenth of the prince's ocean-going fleet. Li Guangdi trembled, looking old, but his eyes were bright, and he was wise and shrewd at first glance.

Lin Feng's flagship was very huge, five stories high, between each floor could run on horseback, the hull was covered with iron armor, hundreds of huge cannons were covered on three sides of the ship, and a huge chimney was erected on the ship that was emitting billowing black smoke. This is a steam-powered ship, Lin Feng has been researching for so many years, this steam engine has only just been used on Lin Feng's flagship, and other ships are still powered by wind manpower.

"Master Li, it seems that the two of us are really destined, but I didn't expect Huang Ama to send you over again." Lin Feng was dressed in armor and smiled faintly.

"Prince Sui, I didn't expect you to leave the capital at this time. It seems that it is inevitable to win the Japanese country. Li Guangdi smiled.

Although Lin Feng has been low-key in these years, he has made a fortune in a muffled voice. But as the power grows bigger and bigger, many things are beginning to emerge, and Li Guangdi has many doormen, and he feels terrifying when he finds the tip of Lin Feng's iceberg.

Ruoxi, who was sick at this time, knew that if she could survive next year, the prince would be deposed for the second time, so she also secretly made up her mind not to drink medicine, and then drag it out first by taking advantage of her illness, how long can it be delayed, and in the cold winter, she poured a basin of cold water from her body and fell ill again. At this time, Jing Guogong played and impeached the prince for participating in the party meeting, and the emperor ordered an investigation, Ruoxi heard about it and felt that things might have taken a turn for the better, if the emperor ordered to investigate the princelings, then there was no need to marry himself to the prince, so his mood improved, and his illness began to improve.

In Hirado Port, the Tokugawa family's navy was desperately rushing towards Lin Feng's fleet, and they were riding all kinds of warships, but most of them were traditional wooden ships, and many of them were sailboats.

The Tokugawa navy was very brave, and they were not afraid to face the behemoths compared to them, they were all some murderous ronin, before Lin Feng established a navy, they often raided the borders of the Qing Kingdom, kidnapped the people, and robbed the finances.

It's a pity that this kind of bravery is just stupidity in Lin Feng's eyes. The comparison of strength between the two sides is not like Zhu Yuanzhang's battle against Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake, as long as he relies on the siege of small boats and the will to fight, he can win. Lin Feng now had a giant ship cannon, so naturally he would not be afraid of the suicidal charge of these people.

The rumbling cannons continued, Lin Feng's fleet lined up, the side sides were spread, the gun windows were opened, and the long guns of one door were constantly shelling the Japanese ships that rushed up.

One Japanese wooden ship after another was hit, and under the intensive bombardment of hundreds of cannons, those small boats rushed up on their own initiative, almost as if they were sent to death.

Li Guangdi stood aside, holding the telescope given to him by Lin Feng, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The Japanese slaves are really brave and fierce enough. ”

"May God bless them." There were quite a few Westerners on Lin Feng's flagship, and it was difficult for them to understand this kind of behavior.

Lin Feng did not declare war on Japan, and the Tokugawa family was taken aback when he directly entered the port. At this time, Japan was still in the feudal period of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the Tokugawa family was the largest power in Japan. But today it was destined to be smashed by Lin Feng with powerful artillery fire and sink to the bottom of the sea.

The artillery battle in the harbor was over in less than half an hour, dozens of Tokugawa family ships were all sunk, and none of Lin Feng's fleet were damaged.

When Li Guangdi saw the opposing ship being smashed and sunk to the bottom of the sea, he realized that this naval battle was much more terrifying than the land battle.

Then Lin Feng's fleet docked and shelled again against a group of Japanese troops rushing to the shore, after hundreds of shells. The troop transport ship docked, and the ironclad soldiers and cavalry inside lined up to prepare for land battle.

Lin Feng's infantry were all armed with standard flintlock muskets, as well as cold weapons. The cavalrymen wore plate armor and were armed with cavalry knives that emitted cold light.

Half an hour later, when Lin Feng and Li Guangdi arrived at the city on horseback. The soldiers had already surrounded Hirado Castle.

"Open the gates with artillery bombardment." Lin Feng shouted. The transporters in the back pushed small cannons with wheels one by one to the foot of Hirado Castle.

More than 20 small cannons began to roar more than 500 meters away from the city gate. A continuous bombardment of the gates began, and after several rounds of shelling, the gates collapsed, revealing a huge gap.

"Take the city, dare to resist and kill on the spot!" Lin Feng shouted at the blade, and rushed into the city left and right, while he and Li Guangdi supervised the battle in the rear.

About an hour later, someone came to report that Hirado Castle had been captured, that the lord of Hirado had been captured alive, and that the rest had surrendered.

"Already taken?" Li Guangdi gasped, a well-guarded city was actually captured in just half a day.

Lin Feng was not surprised at all, the Hirado Domain was only a small domain, and its mobilization capacity was only about 2,000 soldiers.

Moreover, this will require mobilization time, and in the case of Lin Feng's sudden killing, the troops they can use are actually only a few hundred people.

Hirado Castle was not badly damaged, except for one gate that collapsed, and several fires in the castle were quickly extinguished. Hirado Castle is indeed a very prosperous city, and because it is a free port, the merchant ships of various countries have traded for many years, so that the city has a variety of styles of buildings, including Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, as well as various foreign churches, and the shops on the streets are also marked with various characters.

"Immediately begin to build forts on the island, strengthen Hirado Castle, and build a fortress outside the castle." Lin Feng commanded.

"What do we do next?" Li Guangdi asked.

"Send a fleet to sweep all the nearby islands. The people on the island were all caught, and they were first sent to Hirado to build a castle, and then sent to Taiwan. Send someone to Edo again to see if the Tokugawa family is willing to talk now. ”

Edo was once the residence of the wealthy Edo clan, hence the name. In the 18th year of Tensho, after the Battle of Odawara in Hojo, Tokugawa Ieyasu entered the Kanto region and took Edo as his residence, and Edo Castle began to prosper. In the eighth year of Keicho (1603) of the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Ieyasu opened the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo (present-day Tokyo).

Not to mention Lin Feng's actions, far away in the capital, after a catastrophe, Ruoxi had to think about her future, she carefully thought about her situation, and decided to rely on a suitable tree, so as not to suffer the fate of being arbitrarily assigned to marry again, after thinking about it, she felt that the fourth elder brother was the best candidate, so she took the Mulan hairpin sent by the fourth elder brother, and went directly to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and asked him if he would like to marry her.
