In Uragasho, the howling sea breeze roars and the raging waves crash against the reefs along the coast. Fishermen with a full harvest dock their small sampans to the shore and drag their nets to pack the day's harvest into boxes and haul them to the town to sell for money.

It's just that there are a lot of uninvited guests on the shore, and you can see that these people are not here to buy fish, and many of them are carrying knives and sickles, and even have long strips of objects wrapped in white cloth, which must be iron cannons.

Naturally, these fishermen on the seashore will not go up to find bad luck for themselves, they only care about the catch in their hands, hoping not to be robbed by those people.

Since the Dutch had already let out the news, in addition to a large number of orchidists, many people who cared about the fate of their country also gathered on the shore.

Among these people were samurai, feudal warriors, monks, ronin, as well as high-ranking feudal lords and celebrities... There are both old people and childish children.

They came here for one purpose, to meet the Dutch

"The Celestial Empire".

"Uncle, we've been here for almost a month. The fleet in the mouth of the Dutch still did not appear..."The man who spoke was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a clean face, but there was no doubt that he was a corporal in cotton clothes and straw sandals.

Next to the boy was a middle-aged man with a languid face, who kept coughing even in a thick cotton suit, but still touched the boy's head lovingly.

"Injiro, you are the legitimate heir of the Yamaga Ryu Military Academy and the Yoshida family, the genius of Zhiyue City, how can you be so uncontrollable. Remember Du Juan's story? Patience and perseverance are the secrets of success..."The wise man asked: "Du Juan does not cry, if you want to hear her cry, how can she endure it?" Nobunaga said: "If Du Juan doesn't cry, he will be killed." Hideyoshi said: "Du Juan doesn't cry, then he laughs." Ieyasu said: "If Du Juan doesn't cry, he will cry." Three famous people of the Warring States period gave three different opinions, but it is clear to everyone that it was Tokugawa Ieyasu who made it to the end.

It's just that before Injiro's uncle finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sergeant in silk clothes and clogs.

"Yaga! A mere corporal dares to compare with Ieyasu-sama? ”

"I'm so sorry!" The sick man's head was pressed low.

"Bastard!" The richly dressed sergeant deliberately stretched out his voice wide, and then an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Give me seppuku to apologize!" The entourage let out a burst of laughter, due to the huge difference in status, it is difficult for the sergeant and the corporal to empathize, or because of the rise of Jin Quan, those originally proud sergeants can only bully the corporal for fun.

In a hierarchical society, it is not uncommon to force people to die, and there are also people around who are from corporals who feel humiliated, but they can only watch helplessly.

The monks on the side even began to recite the scriptures, and many more were not attracted by the impending human tragedy around them, because it was just commonplace.

At this moment, a lazy voice came.

"Hey! Feed! How can you run into you scum everywhere you go. "The man was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a stalk of grass in his mouth, and the katana that should have been tied to his waist was carried on his shoulder, and he looked like the most unruly ronin, but the clogs at his feet proved his original identity.

"Serizawa! Don't think you're great, there are five of us, and besides, they're not right first. The arrogant people before were highly nervous at this time.

The young man on the opposite side also deliberately took out the Shinto Wunianliu sign from his arms and shook it in front of the other party, but he didn't rush to do it, but said.

"What did they say? I didn't hear it, but you dared to call the name of the previous general, which is really bold enough. Immediately the five sergeants were speechless...

"Very good, brave and resourceful!" A middle-aged man walked out of the sedan chair. The people around him immediately fell to their knees and saluted.

"See Shimazu-sama."

"Get up! Japan has people of insight like you, and whether it is the United States or England, we will not lose! Everyone replied in unison, but the atmosphere didn't last long.

A sharp whistle sounded, like a sharp sword cutting through the air, making the power of heaven and earth that crashed on the shore a little inferior.

Immediately after that, huge ones

The "Black Iron" battleship emerged little by little from behind the reef with rumbling black smoke. The giant beast, like a probe peeking at its prey, finally revealed its true face at this time.

Hideous and terrifying, the monk stopped chanting, the wise man stopped thinking, and the brave warrior drew his sword and let out a desperate roar at the approaching steel beast.

However, the terrifying monster did not stop for the slightest, not even glancing at the humble creature beneath its feet.

The fishermen fled in disarray, and their previously prized catch was scattered to the ground. The big man who used to enjoy the worship of everyone left a shameful mark under his body like his soul being hollowed out.

The deafening rumble and black smoke gradually faded away, but the dark clouds that hung over the hearts of these heroes did not disperse for a long time.

Even those Lan scholars couldn't calm down, after all, the scenery in front of them was far beyond their cognition.

Edo Castle, as the most valued young man among the chief elders of the shogunate, Ryuta Kebe was undoubtedly a decent samurai.

However, this decent samurai was in the dust, with several scratches on his face caused by branches, and his shoes were lost.

"What do you see? Big.. Incredibly large black ship... There were countless cylinders emitting black smoke towering over it, and there were a terrible number of guns on both sides of the ship. The speed is beyond the reach of the likes of Ataka..."Ataka refers to the Ataka ship, which was the largest naval warship in Japan during this period, and the speed usually exceeded 3 knots.

"Ryuta, is the Austrian fleet really that terrible?" Masahiro Abe asked in a low tone, hoping that the former would come back to his senses.

The child Kong of Ryuta was scattered, and said incoherently: "The commission is too huge... Cover the sky and the sun, and you can't see the beginning and the end..."Abe Masahiro commanded with a sigh

"Immediately convene a pre-screen meeting!" The subordinates immediately responded, and then split up to inform the other shogunate officials.

Masahiro Abe stood up and walked past Ryuta Kibe and said, "You seppuku." Then he headed for the main hall without looking back.

An hour later, the main hall.

"Lord Yin Shoushi, the fleet of the Austrian Empire has come as the Dutch said, but they have not yet made any requests. Lin Qizhongbei, who was pursued by Uraga, felt powerless to resist the enemy and had already seppuku... It seems that the enemy is stronger than we think. Masahiro Abe's brows furrowed, Lin Qi Zhongbei is a guy who even the previous generals dare to contradict, and he is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Masahiro Abe asked, "With 20 guns from Edosho, can you repel the Austrian fleet?" ”
