This stone dam is nothing in modern times, even shabby, even if it is placed in the **** of the same period, it is nothing, but as far as Japan is concerned, it can undoubtedly be regarded as a super project, but from the dense heads above, it is roughly estimated that there must be tens of thousands of people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Among these tens of thousands of people, there are overseers who are gorgeously dressed and do nothing, there are hard laborers in tattered clothes who fight shoulder to shoulder, and more than 10,000 people are busy on the stone dam like a swarm of ants.

Arnold's fleet certainly caught the attention of these people, and anyone who saw a large fleet suddenly appeared on the seashore would be shocked, especially after this fleet set up the battle line, and surrounded the entire coast, like a great wall on the sea, standing majestically there.

No one would think that this fleet had come with good intentions, and that the glittering metallic cannons had already told them that the enemy had invaded.

Shimazu clan general Ise Mayasu, who commanded the construction of the stone dam, was already panicking, and he tried his best to organize the samurai on the construction site to resist, but unfortunately these samurai were not all under his control, but belonged to different families, and some of them were simply wild samurai who came to receive a salary, and the only thing he could really mobilize was the 200 samurai who directly belonged to his Ise family.

Faced with the pressure of Arnold's army, this group of Japanese people ran around like ants that had blown up their nests, and only those samurai with ruling families were at least a dozen or dozens of them gathered together and hugged in a group, surrounding their superiors in the middle.

Scattered and scattered, there were hundreds of large and small groups on the entire stone dam construction site, but more of them were still like headless flies.

Don't look at how the later generations of Japan boasted about their so-called samurai, in fact, in this period, these so-called samurai were not.

What was the current state of Japan during this period? Sometimes even some nobles can't get enough to eat, let alone these samurai who even the nobles can only wipe a little edge?

To tell the truth, Japan in this era really listens to the title of their Wakoku.

The so-called Japanese samurai are just self-appointed after Japan became strong in later generations, and they are the beautification of their own shamelessness.

However, after all, the Shimazu clan is also a strong party, even if it is put in the whole of Japan, it is considered a strong domain, so some qualities are still there, and in the face of Arnold's army, he quickly made his due reaction.

"These ... It's theirs ... Navy? ”

Arnold's eyes widened, and his rugged face was full of comics.

Arnold is not to blame, anyone who sees a fleet "rushing" from a distance will let out such an exclamation.

There are a lot of ships, how can there be forty or fifty of them, even the warships usually stationed in Singapore, Li Yanwei's base camp, will not exceed this number, but, look at the displacement of these warships, well, they are all worthy of him in terms of displacement, the largest is only twenty or thirty meters long, and there are a lot of decks, there are three decks, but there are not many guns at all? Counting carefully, even ten are not enough, they can't catch up with the smallest frigate of Arnold's fleet, even if it is a frigate, it is more than twenty cannons, but even this level is not much, in the whole fleet there are only four or five, more are the kind of warships more than ten meters long, there is not even a single cannon on it, there are more than a hundred and ten soldiers standing on it, most of them are bows and arrows, few are muskets, and all are arquebuses, not even a single flintlock pistol.

As for the smaller ships, which could only stand thirty or forty people, Arnold didn't even look at them, and they were really not threatening at all.

"My lord, they are not considered a navy, more accurately called, a navy."

A subordinate who was familiar with the situation in Japan whispered beside Arnold, "My lord, this is already very good, it is said that this Kyushu Island is famous for the whole of Japan, and the navy of the Satsuma Domain is known as the strongest in the whole of Japan, and it is already very powerful to have this kind of fleet, if it is another big name, it can't even take out an Ataka ship." Oh yes, the Ataka is the name of the largest ship in the fleet. ”

"It's these stinky fish and shrimp that robbed our fleet?"

Arnold was a little confused, in his opinion, those who have the courage to rob their fleet must have some strength, just like the Dutch who have been driven away by them, and the British and French who are paying attention to them, although they are not as good as them, but the battleship is also said to be able to take out.

Arnold is still facing the enemy, this kind of battlefield where iron and fire are intertwined is Arnold's interest, but what is this now, the so-called Otaku ship, can withstand a salvo of his flagship?

It's boring, it's really boring, I wouldn't have come out if I had known, it's better to clean up the Dutch, at least they can get a few battleships, even if it's only a third-class standard.

Arnold smacked his lips, looking very bored.

Not to mention the various grievances on Arnold's side, on the Japanese side, these Satsuma sailors have already counter-surrounded Arnold's side, well, if this kind of battle formation is not enough to catch up with the long battle line of Arnold's fleet even if it is all pulled apart, then it can be called an encirclement, then let's forget it.

The two fleets began to confront each other.

But on one side is a male lion or a large lion pack, and on the other side is a group of shivering little sheep.

Soon, seven or eight small boats came out of the Japanese fleet, and as they slowly approached Arnold's side, the samurai in the small boats let out a hissing and exhaustive howl.

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

"Listen to what they shout?"

Arnold looked unenergetic and waved his hand casually.

With Arnold's orders, the entire fleet did not embarrass the ships, which were obviously envoys, and let them approach Arnold's flagship safely.

As the boat approached, the enormity of Arnold's flagship was more and more apparent, and the faces of everyone on these small boats were cringe, which showed the fear in their hearts, and they saw that on the ship at the front, there were two richly dressed figures standing at the bow of the ship, and it seemed that it should be some kind of leader, only to hear the younger one shout loudly: "Who are you?" Is it a Ming or a Qing person? ”

He speaks authentic Chinese, and even has a faint taste of Beijing Mandarin.

Of course, this is not a strange thing, you know, in ancient times, the status of the Chinese language is much higher than that of modern times, really to be counted, than the status of modern English, as long as it is an Asian country, Chinese is their official language, in the entire Chinese cultural circle, no matter which country the ruler is, are proud to learn Chinese, in these places, can speak Chinese is undoubtedly a status symbol, if you are a nobleman, can not speak a few words of Chinese, it will be despised.

If nothing else, take Japan as an example, more than 70% of their writing is Chinese characters, and Vietnam, for example, their language is a dialect of China.

However, after the opening of the Age of Discovery, the status of Chinese began to change slowly, until later generations, English became popular and became the international lingua franca.

"We are Han Chinese."

Arnold stood at the bow of his ship, looked at the two Japanese envoys, and spoke lightly.

It was very simple, but it undoubtedly frightened the two Japanese envoys.

Anyone who sees a standard blonde, blue-eyed, bearded white man speaking authentic Chinese and saying "I'm Han." Basically, your jaw drops.

Since following Li Luan, including Arnold, Li Luan's subordinates began to spontaneously learn **** culture, from the beginning of the pure sycophancy mentality to the later gradually fascinated by Chinese culture, deep worship, familiarity with Chinese, are already their second mother tongue. Especially in the Harry Potter world, Li Luan's subordinates are basically dual nationals, one of their own nationality and the other is **** nationality.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Arnold saying that he is a Han Chinese, who called me a big **** is so broad-minded.

Of course, for this reason, in the **** of the Harry Potter world, there has been a lot of turmoil, and the ****, which has always been very strict in the review of nationality, suddenly has such a large number of foreigners applying for naturalization, so that the government at the time thought that it was a conspiracy of foreign enemy forces.

However, for these small actions of his subordinates to cause trouble for themselves, Li Luwei did not stop them, anyway, there is no loss, right, especially to make himself feel better.

"Han Chinese?"

The two Japanese envoys glanced at each other, and they both saw the word "confused" from each other's eyes, the Han people they have not seen, the Ming on the other side of the sea is the world of the Han people, especially their Satsuma Domain, and they have dealt with the Ming Navy, and they have not suffered the losses of the Ming Navy, so for the Han people, they have always had a deep memory, but this suddenly appeared a ghost old man, saying that he is a Han, if it weren't for a group of real Han people standing next to him, these two Japanese envoys want to ask loudly, you are really a fool when we are.

Of course, Arnold didn't know what these two Japanese envoys were thinking, if he knew, maybe a black magic would have killed them, and he actually laughed at you, Uncle Arnold?

However, no matter how much they despised Arnold in their hearts, these two Japanese envoys did not dare to have the slightest disrespect, not to mention whether Arnold's Han identity was true or false, although they also heard that the Han people on the other side of the sea were now being beaten by a group of Qing people and could not find the north, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, not to mention that they were not even horses in Japan, let alone their Satsuma Domain, horse hooves or horse tails?

Even if Arnold's identity as a Han Chinese is fake, just looking at these huge warships, terrifying fleets, and especially the cannons on these warships, this number is more than the whole of Japan combined, right? All of this is not something they can offend, so Arnold can say whatever he wants, anyway, he can't afford to offend, so just listen to it.

"I'm Shimazu Shoho Kayama."

"I'm Shimazu Clan General Ise Mayasu."

"On behalf of the Shimazu family, I would like to meet with you."

The two Japanese envoys were cautious and did not dare to be disrespectful.

"I don't know if the distinguished guests have come to the door, but the head of my Shimazu family has prepared a banquet to receive the wind and wash the dust for the distinguished guests."

"Distinguished guests? I think it's a villain. ”

Arnold sneered and waved his hand very boringly, "It's boring, it's really boring, I thought I'd see something a little bloody, it turns out that it's all a bunch of bad seeds." ”

Arnold's words caused both Kayama Masahsu and Ise Mayasu to blush, and they were resentful in their hearts, but they had no choice but that the situation was stronger than people, and they didn't dare to refute it at all.

Looking at the two who were insulted and didn't dare to refute, Arnold lost interest even more.

"Mu Ji, I'll leave it to you." After all, Arnold is gone, and there is really nothing to attract him here.

As Arnold's deputy, Muji naturally followed Arnold's side in this operation.

After a few years of experience, Mu Ji has also grown a lot, and he is enough to be a person.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you guys, since you two can represent the Shimazu family, you should have heard of us, give you a hint, Singapore." Mu Ji stood at the bow of the boat, looking condescendingly at Kayama Masao and Ise Mayasu, with a proud expression.

"Boom!"

It is the voices of the two of them, as the generals of the Shimazu family, they can already be regarded as the high-level of the Shimazu family, and of course they know the recent actions of the Shimazu family.

"What should I do?" Ise asked Masahō in a whisper in Japanese.

Although he was also a subordinate of the Shimazu family, the Ise family of Ise Mayasu was not as good as the Kayama family of Kayama Masahōho, and the Kayama family was the old family of the Shimazu family.

"I can only repay the head of the house."

Birch Mountain Zhengbao is also very headache, fight, definitely can't beat, don't fight, it seems that people won't give up.

"My lord, this is a big matter, please allow us to report back to the master."

"Yes, but only give you half a day, and after half a day, don't blame us for being fierce." (To be continued.) )
