Chapter 976: Landing in Shimonoseki
The Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty sailed on the sea for several days, and although it encountered several storms, it was still very smooth in general.
During this period, the Tokugawa Shogunate sent envoys to explain several times, saying that these were misunderstandings and requested the Ming Dynasty to withdraw its troops. It also stated that Japan voluntarily acted as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for generations and would never betray it.
Zhu Cixuan had been fainting at the sea for several days, so he could not hear these nonsense and directly ordered the Japanese envoy to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
On July 27, the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty sailed through Xiaguan Strait, and a small hill suddenly rose by the sea on the coastline far away.
"Your Majesty, Xiaguan has arrived!"
On the Wanli ship, Zhu Cixuan walked out of the cabin, stood on the ship building and looked at the coastline, and saw the Xiaguan Strait.
Shimoguan is located in the southwest corner of Honshu Island, Japan. Its waters are a piece between Honshu Island, Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island. It is more than 800 miles long from east to west, with the largest width from north to south and a minimum width of ten miles. It is an important waterway to the Ming Dynasty in the eastern coastal area of Kyushu Island.
Xiaguan, originally named Chijianguan, is also called Chimaguan, and is referred to as Maguan. For Chinese people after the 19th century, this is an unforgettable place.
At the end of the 19th century, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the war and signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was a humiliating country, which became an important feng shui hurdle in the modern history of China and Japan.
Since then, Japan has taken advantage of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and used the huge compensation from the Treaty of Shimonoseki to make its national strength flourish, and finally completed the modernization process and entered Asia, becoming one of the world's great powers, laying a solid foundation for the future World War I and II, and continuing to invade China in an all-round way.
After the defeat of the Tartar Qing Dynasty, the achievements of the Westernization Movement for 30 years were destroyed. Not only did they bear huge compensation, but they also made the originally low international status plummet and completely nothing.
The Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty was getting closer and closer to Xiaguan, and Zhu Cilang could already see a black tiles and red wall temple building on the mountain on the shore.
After the fleet entered Xiaguan Wharf, Li Shaoyou, the Great Protector of the Eastern Protectorate, and 30,000 Eastern Protectorate, had already lined up here to welcome the troops, and the Japanese Anti-State Alliance were accompanied by the vassals.
Since the Tokugawa Shogunate attacked Kyoto by lightning, the Shogun League was defeated by a blow and fled in a panic and almost drove out of the Sea of Japan. Fortunately, the East Envoy Army stationed on the Korean Peninsula sent troops to intimidate the Shogunate army, so that it was able to gain a foothold in Shimonu, Honshu Island and stick to the last city on Honshu Island.
The leader of the Anti-Strait Alliance, Maori Datong, the vassal lord of the Nagato vassal, led the Izumo vassals to prepare for the vassals. The daimyos of the Ishimi vassals welcomed the imperial emperor at the dock.
According to the order of the Maori outline, all the 20,000 Japanese "Imperial Army" who were half-destroyed by the shogunate were dressed in an array. Each soldier must be uniformly uniformed and spotless. He welcomed the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his brothers.
He believed that the arrival of the Great Emperor would inevitably lead to ashes to ashes. This was the best time to lick the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. I missed this opportunity to show my face, but I was afraid I would never encounter the second chance to be a dog in my life.
The barrel of the gun was dark and the bayonet was bright. The Japanese Imperial Army's military posture was uniformly adopted the Ming army. If it weren't for the difference between military uniform and figure, Zhu Cixuan even thought that this army was Li Shaoyou's Eastern Expedition Army.
Under the Dragon Boat, Li Shaoyou looked at the Japanese army dressed up and snatched the limelight and sneered disdainfully.
This small laughter was like thunder in the ears of Daqie such as Maori Outline, which scared everyone to breathe.
Maori outline stood behind Li Shaoyou with a sensible attitude and said aloud: "It is my honor to be able to fight side by side with Li Daduo!"
Maori Outline is only 40 years old, she is thin and smart, and is the leader in the joint promotion of the reverse alliance.
When the Emperor was killed and Kyoto fell, Maori Outline sent envoys to the East Protectorate's Office repeatedly and begged Li Shaoyou to send troops to rescue him.
Now after several months of life and death tests, he has become more mature and cognitive. He also knows that these daimyos in the Shogun Alliance are unreliable and cannot be opponents of the Tokugawa Shogunate. His only hope is to rely on the power of the Ming Dynasty to punish the destruction of the Shogunate.
Although Maori's outline is also clear, the Ming Dynasty would never be kind enough to help the Anti-State Alliance for free. Relying on the Ming army is like attracting wolves into the house, but in the current situation, he can't take much care of it. Being a puppet is better than being destroyed, right?
After all, some people are quite a Ming dog and may not be able to be regarded as it. The competition in this industry is quite fierce.
Seeing that he knew each other, Li Shaoyou pressed the sword with his hand, smiled faintly, and said, "Everyone is the same."
Since it was decided to be a dog, Maori Outline and other Japanese vassal lords were still very enlightened, when the Wanli battleship approached the dock, Maori Outline and the daimyo immediately fell to the ground and cheered in unison towards the bow of the ship.
After a while, an officer stood on the deck of the warship and shouted: "Transfer to His Majesty the oral order, Li Shaoyou, the Great Protector of the East Protectorate, the Outline of the Japanese vassal lord Maori, Kamei Takana... Ito Motoyoshi boarded the ship to meet him!"
Maori Outline and other named Daming were flattered and stood up one after another, rushing to board the ship to meet.
When a few steps took a few steps, they suddenly remembered something and stopped quickly.
Maori outline returned to Li Shaoyou with embarrassment, and bowed and made a gesture of invitation: "Please protect the Great Protector!"
Li Shaoyou didn't even look at them, but just stared at Tsukano's lord Kamei Takanaga running in front of him, and suddenly sneered: "Things that are ungrateful!"
After saying that, he followed the officer who led the way to board the Wanli battleship without any haste.
Maori Outan and others burst into tears and thought to themselves that Kamei Kwan offended the Tu emperor of the Sea of Japan and was about to finish his life.
On the Wanli period, Zhu Cixuan sat firmly in the conference hall in the cabin.
After Mr. Li marched, several Japanese vassal lords knelt neatly on the deck and said in unison: "Long live the emperor when I pay homage to you, my Majesty!"
Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "Flat!"
After Maori Dagang and others got up, Zhu Ciyang first chatted with Li Shaoyou, then turned to look at several Japanese vassal lords and said, "This time I led a large army across the sea to Japan, because the Tokugawa shogunate stopped the business for no reason and harmed our Ming people!"
Maori outline was eager to express it and continued: "The great emperor was wise and the Tokugawa family was ambition, betrayed his faith, bullied the emperor, suppressed the vassals, pretended to be at a high position, and harmed the orphans of the ancestor Taige!"
Immediately, another daimyo jumped out and cooperated like crosstalk: "The Tokugawa family has been passed down to this day for four generations, but they are all unwilling to benevolent government, unruly and unruly, corrupting the principles, extravagant and cruel and unkind people, which has caused the Japanese people to live in poverty and complaints!"
