Chapter 792 Nissin Combined Fleet
Satsuma, Kyushu Island, Japan.
Kyushu Island is located in the southernmost part of Japan, with more than 40 vassal names of all sizes and small. The Satsuma vassal is one of the most powerful vassals.
On May 15, the Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty set off from Ryukyu, and four days later, bypassed the Amami Islands and arrived at the Seed Island of the Satsuma Phantava.
The Ming army attacked and dispatched 65 ships of all sizes, including 28 sail battleships, with a total force of more than 15,000, and the landed combat troops reached 8,000.
Chen Shouchong received the latest order. This combat mission: destroy the Japanese naval base, land on the Satsuma Peninsula, attack Tsurumaru Castle, mainly plundering, and snatch all the things that can be stolen, including the population!
Zhu Ciyang wants to completely erase the cradle of the Japanese Joint Fleet in history from the earth! (The naval power figures originally organized by the Japanese Joint Fleet were all from the Satsuma clan.)
Seed Island is the gateway of the Satsuma clan in the south and also a maritime portal of Japan. However, it was captured and landed by the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty in just half a day.
In order to defend himself with confidence, Satsuma Fan Rao was vulnerable under the bombardment of hundreds of shells in the face of the fierce firepower of the Ming army. He left hundreds of incomplete corpses and broken limbs on the beach. The guard of Seed Island committed suicide by stabbing his stomach.
Shen Shousong did not give the Japanese Navy a chance to breathe, and led the fleet across the Osumi Strait the next day to launch an attack on the Satsuma Peninsula.
The Shanchuan Port on the Satsuma Peninsula is the main foreign trade port of the Satsuma Phantom and the main base of the Japanese Navy. In 1609, the main force of the Satsuma Phantom's army expedition to Ryukyu was opened from here.
Such an important position was naturally the head of the Satsuma vassal lord Shimazu Kokuha himself.
In the eyes of the Japanese Navy, the Ming fleet gathered in large numbers this time, which was clearly for a decisive battle, just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked North Korea.
All the Japanese naval generals were nervous, but fortunately the Qing navy arrived immediately!
They released the shogunate pigeons once, and now the Ming army takes the initiative to attack Kyushu Island, which was colonized by the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty can no longer sit idly by.
Although Hong Chengchou had some brains, he also knew what Emperor Tianwu was going to do.
If you take down Kyushu Island, the Ming army can be used as a springboard and directly attack Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula. At that time, the Ming Navy and the Protectorate of the East will send troops at the same time, and a north-south attack will be launched. The overlord will force the bow, and the Qing Dynasty will be over!
At this time, the Satsuma vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal priests of Ajig and the Japanese vassal priests ruled by Tokugawa Shogunate formed a huge coalition to resist the landing of the Ming Dynasty on Kyushu Island.
At the Yamakawa Port, the remaining Japanese Navy and the Qing Navy formed a joint fleet, and Kasumi Kasumi, who escaped on a tortoise shell ship, was also among them, leading a fleet alone.
Satsuma is a strong vassal in southwestern Japan. Satsuma Hayato is brave and aggressive, and has a sense of discipline. They respect the strong, advocate force, despise cowardice and timidity. Later British people called them "Japanese Spartans."
No one knew that Kazumaki Kamiyama had escaped because the warrior put all the pot on Tadaro Shimazu who was sieve by the Ming army. He was still like his father, the pride of the Japanese Navy!
During the Warring States Period of Japan, the Satsuma clan continued to fight and attacked everywhere and took the initiative to beat others. The Kagoshima, Miyaki and other places under the Shimazu family were rarely directly invaded by the enemy.
In the late Warring States Period, after the first generation of the Satsuma family Satsuma family unified Mikushu Island, no one dared to provoke the Satsuma family in Japan, and even Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to attack the Satsuma family easily. They could only weaken their strength by gentle means.
At the oath-taking ceremony, the lord of the Satsuma vassal state and also served as the head coach of the Japanese naval army, Shimazu Kokusaki, said loudly: "Except for more than 400 years ago, the Yuan invasion, there has never been an enemy that has threatened Japan from the sea!"
He raised his tone and shouted: "The Yuan Kou cannot do it, and the Ming Kou cannot do it!"
"no!"
"no!"
The sailors of the Satsuma clan shouted loudly, no one realized that the disaster had come to Japan more than in another time and space, with the United States threatening Japan to open its doors with gunboats.
The Qing naval generals on the side all curled their lips without any concealment.
Navy General Hong Shiming even smiled with the deputy general around him and said, "The entire Jiuzhou Island has become a colony of our Qing Dynasty. These Japanese people are still talking nonsense with their eyes open!"
Someone immediately responded: "The little prince said it well!"
This little prince, Hong Shiming, is the eldest son of Hong Chengchou, the regent of the Qing Dynasty prince, whose courtesy name is Risheng.
Several Qing naval generals around him were all the younger generation of the Han army flag and the sons of each banner owner. The oldest was less than 30 years old. They were the Four Han generals of Hexi who pacified the Three Feudal Franchise for the Qing Dynasty in history.
When Hong Chengchou established the Qing navy, he naturally had to let his own people control it. The second-hand Tartars under the Han army flag were not good at water battles, and he could not believe it, so he could only choose some young second-hand Tartars to take on this great task.
On the second day, the mountains, rivers, ports and seas.
On the sea, as if a pot was opened, countless shells smashed into the sea water, stirring up giant water columns.
The Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty had already started working with the Nissinian Combined Fleet. The warships of both sides were apart one or two hundred meters apart, spraying flames at each other, and the sea was filled with smoke.
The ship type and artillery configuration of the Nissin Combined Fleet were far inferior to that of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, but their number was extremely large, with more than 300 large and small warships, as well as several four-class sailing battleships built by Spain.
The joint fleet was approaching, just like the Battle of Liaoluo Bay in the sixth year of Chongzhen, they used a large number of fire ships to approach the Ming army warships, and some even had more than twenty warships besieged a Ming army warship.
The firelights from the muzzles on the Ming army warships were shining one after another, and they shot more than ten pounds of artillery shells onto the opponent's warships. Whenever the shells hit the enemy warships, a cheering whistle burst out from the warships, inspiring each other.
The entire battlefield was filled with fire and black smoke. On the dark sea water, petite Nissin Combined Fleet warships were destroyed, paralyzed, or sunk.
Amid the screams, the Ming army could see many Japanese sailors lit up in the sea without hesitation...
The small boat used by the Nissin Combined Fleet to open the road and kill the dead is too unstoppable. It is okay to use solid bullets, but it takes several guns to kill one. If you use flower bullets, you will encounter a petite warship and take it away with you with one gun.
However, the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty did not fully popularize the explosion of flowering bombs, and only some large battleships were equipped.
The side dishes were served, and then the hard dishes were served.
Turtle shell ships, shaped like turtles, were quickly shuttled across the water, firing shells at the Ming army warships.
Several Spanish three-masted warships from the Qing Navy also drove over, joined the battle, and opened fire on the Ming army's battleships.
