Chapter 49 Retaliation
"Your Majesty, how do you deal with Japan's behavior this time?" Man Li said.
"Japan has a lot of gold and silver, and other resources are poor, so occupying may not be appropriate. The fleet went to flatten their coastal cities and retaliated against them so that they could know the consequences of provoking our Chinese Empire. Moreover, Mingzhou lacked army troops, and the general direction of the empire remained unchanged. After teaching them a lesson, we only need their gold and silver, and nothing is better than dumping the business model."
After considering it, Yun Yi ordered that after a few words, he decided on Japan's future treatment.
"As for your order, your Majesty."
"Let the escort fleet go with the Second Pacific Fleet, I'm here to wait for the good news you bring to me. All departments in Linming City do a good job in the fleet's logistics."
"yes."
Officials at all levels and generals of the fleet left. Linming City was busy in an instant, preparing logistics supplies for the fleet's expedition. The angry people of the imperial people cooperated with all departments.
Yun Yi moved into a temporary palace on the mountain near Linming City, and was guarded by guards. He looked at the warships at the port in the distance to form various small fleets, and after receiving the mission, he set out towards the coast of Japan. Rolling smoke filled the entire port.
That night, Xiao Zhan sent a loss report.
"How are the search and rescue work of the fishermen doing after losing 7 fishing boats?"
Yun Yi, who looked at the loss report, asked.
"Your Majesty, the search fleet has only rescued three surviving fishermen. Other missing persons can be confirmed to have been killed." Xiao Zhan said in a heavy mood. No matter what, Mingzhou is also the protagonist of the first incident of the murder of the people of the empire by the enemy country. As the chief executive, Yun Yi's failure to blame does not mean that he does not feel guilty or blame himself.
"Although you and Man Li have the responsibility of being in absent from the supervision and have no concealed their merits. I hope you will continue to work hard and strive to play the power of the continent to contribute to the empire. Mingzhou is one of the four major fishing grounds in the world. Immigrants along the coast of Ming Dynasty will be given priority to give full play to their advantages. I hope I can see an excellent work report next year."
"As for your order."
Seeing Xiao Zhan leave, Dai Peishan ordered the maids to deliver Yun Yi's supper, and Ai Xier had already arrived.
"Your Majesty, try the bluefin tuna meat and abalone sent by local fishermen. This portion is saury and venison sent by the Ainu people, all of which are the freshest.
Dai Peishan suggested: "You can go to the back mountain to take a hot spring after dinner."
In Nagasaki Port, Japan, smuggled merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty were the main customers of this port, and there were also a small number of Spanish merchant ships.
Nearly noon, the coolies on the dock were unloading various cargo for the merchant fleet coming from the Ming Dynasty, and the ship owner was negotiating with the port officials in skilled Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
The upper nobles of North Korea and Japan were proud of writing Chinese characters and speaking Chinese, not to mention the officials in the trade port that often dealt with Ming people. Ming Mandarin is a necessary skill.
The breeze blows on the sea and the waves rippling. For the coolies, the sun is already a relatively vicious sunshine shines on the prosperous trading port of this sunrise country. It is a good weather for the warriors today.
He smiled and watched the merchant ships entering the port from time to time, and the crew of various countries who were casual in the city of Nagasaki in the rear brought rich income to this small town full of cabins, and the powerful fleet was conquering the small Chinese countries that occupied Hokkaido.
He shouted at the coolies passing by, and the warrior was very satisfied with his life.
Huang Minxin, deputy commander of the Second Pacific Fleet, looked at the merchant ships of various countries that were fleeing around, the small fishing boats of Japan, and the Nagasaki Port that gradually appeared in front of him, and ordered: "The ships form a battle formation and tell them that Japan's slap on the face of our fleet a few days ago was still very painful. I don't want to see Nagasaki Castle still have good buildings after our artillery fire."
"yes."
The ships that received the order entered the designated positions one after another. The artillery lifted the cannon suits, and the thick muzzles slowly turned towards the port, and the shells were stuffed into the breeze.
The people on the port of Nagasaki who found the abnormality were screaming and fleeing everywhere. A group of samurai ran out of the city and ran towards the dock frantically.
"It's the fleet of the Chinese Empire."
A merchant ship owner who came from the Ming Dynasty recognized the flag, turned around and shouted to his crew, "Go back to the ship and hang the Sun and Moon Flag of the Ming Dynasty."
The smart ship owners nearby were all in trouble, and several Spanish merchant ships also followed suit. They were well-informed people who often ran on the sea. If they died accidentally on the battlefield, the tough Chinese Empire would definitely turn a blind eye. It might be a good idea to go back to the merchant ship to hang the national flag.
"Report, all ships are ready."
"Start." Huang Minxin ordered, the flag bearer waved the flag,
"Boom, boom..."
The thick shells rushed out of the muzzle in flames and roared down towards the port building.
"Boom, boom..."
Warehouses, shops, and goods piled up on the docks were instantly submerged under the fire and smoke. The shells were occasionally smashed into the crowds of fleeing frantically, bringing up a bloody rain of limbs.
The samurai master and his men, who were just majestic, had already fallen on the dock, and the samurai sword fell a few steps away from his body, reflecting a wave of cold light.
The warriors running towards the pier were so scared that they lay on the ground, staring at the fire in the distance, and under the timid pants, obvious water traces soaked the dry soil on the ground.
"Baga, run quickly." The samurai leader woke up first, looked at the approaching artillery fire and shouted wildly.
The shells caught up with them and smashed into the crowd. The warriors under the smoke of gunpowders entered the footsteps of the docks, leaving behind broken limbs and broken arms on the ground. The remaining lucky people howled and moaned in pain.
The artillery fire finally extended to Nagasaki City. The short walls were filled with samurai, all of whom were dull and looked at the tragic situation of the port with trembling eyes.
"Did God Amaterasu no longer protect our Japanese Empire?"
The samurai who muttered to themselves watched the artillery fire cover the city wall, threw away the meshes and samurai swords, and tried to shrink into a ball, hiding in everything they thought they could hide, and then buried it with the gravel of the collapsed city wall.
After the artillery on both sides of the fleet had been fired, Huang Xinmin looked at the small town in the distance with a telescope, and there was no other towering house, and then led the team to leave and headed towards the next destination.
At the same time, the coastal cities of Honshu Island, Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island are all facing artillery attacks from various fleets of the Chinese Empire.
In Edo (now Tokyo), a fleet led by Manjushri was shelling Edo Castle. Tokugawa Hidetachi's confidant samurai retainers were struggling to resist (being obediently bombed). The only fort was already in ruins. Tokugawa Hidetachi, who had no hope of winning and had great fear of life, abandoned everything and fled to the north.
