Chapter 934 Shelling Nagasaki!
Chapter 934: Bombing Nagasaki!
(0934)
【Today's second update is delivered!】
In fact, Zhang Haibin said this too early.
The Dutch retreated this time, not because they were afraid of the Hu Ben Navy, but because they wanted to figure out what was going on. Their first met with the Hu Ben Navy, and the other party's strength was actually stronger than themselves, which really surprised the Dutch. Isn't this territory in East Asia under Zheng Zhilong? Why did a completely different fleet emerge?
Yes, a completely different fleet. The Dutch are not fools. Those who can come to the Pacific Ocean to make a living from the Atlantic Ocean are all half a bucket of water. The Dutch's maritime power is not only because of the large number of warships, but also because they have a group of good sailors. They can tell at a glance that this fleet that suddenly came out is not the same as Zheng Zhilong.
The Dutch have basically figured out Zheng Zhilong's maritime military power. Most of the main warships of the Zheng family fleet are three-masted gunships, and the rest are armed merchant ships. However, the fleet they encountered and the warships they organized were completely different from the Zheng family fleet. From a professional perspective, this fleet is obviously more professional than the Zheng family fleet.
Also, the flag on the mast of Zheng Zhilong's naval fleet was black. The fleet they encountered was red. There was also a big difference between the two in the uniforms of their respective sailors. Therefore, the Dutch were completely sure that it was this maritime military force they had never contacted before.
The problem is that the Dutch could not tell whether they were Zheng Zhilong's ally. If they were Zheng Zhilong's ally, the matter would be even more complicated. The Dutch actually didn't care much about Zheng Zhilong. Because Zheng Zhilong did not dare to lead the army to fight the Dutch's main fleet. As long as the Dutch's main battleship appeared, Zheng Zhilong would immediately avoid it.
The strength of the Dutch East India Company in East Asia is obvious to all. There are more than 100 large warships with displacement of more than 1,000 tons. These main warships are not available to Zheng Zhilong. Even if Zheng Zhilong meets the main fleet of the Dutch, he will only take a detour. Therefore, the Dutch actually didn't care much about Zheng Zhilong.
However, if someone's maritime power was stronger than Zheng Zhilong in Ming Dynasty, it would attract the attention of the Dutch. Just now, they obviously realized that the warships of the Tiger Ben Army Navy were somewhat similar to theirs. If they were not mistaken, the other party might also have warships with displacement of more than 1,000 tons.
The situation in Southeast Asia has always been very complicated. At the beginning, Portugal and Spaniards were competing for it. Later, the Dutch rose to the forefront, surpassing Portugal and Spain, and becoming the biggest overlords in Southeast Asia. However, the power of Portugal and Spain has not completely subsided, and they still have some foundation.
For example, Manila is firmly controlled by the Spanish, while the Portuguese is firmly controlled by Jakarta. It is not easy for the Dutch to grab these two places. Moreover, there are French and Italians next to them. Although these two countries have poor military strength, their communication skills are indeed good. In the language of the Ming Dynasty, they are not successful enough and have more than enough failure.
The Dutch could not guarantee that if Southeast Asia was really in chaos, would there be several forces joining together to deal with themselves? After all, the existence of the Dutch has hurt the interests of many people. Not to mention anything else, the British would definitely go against them. If several forces unite to deal with the Dutch together, the Dutch would not feel good.
Therefore, the Dutch decided to figure out the situation. If the other party had no background and had no connection with other countries' forces, it would not be too late for the Dutch to send the main fleet north. On the sea of East Asia, I believe there is no fleet that can fight against the main fleet of the Dutch.
...
"Go to Nagasaki!"
After the Dutch retreated, Zhang Haibin said in a deep voice.
The task Zhang Zhun gave Zhang Haibin was to wander around and look around. However, this wandering was definitely not a purposeless way to run around, consuming food and fresh water in vain. This wandering was purposeful. For example, scaring the Japanese.
The ultimate goal of the Hu Ben Army fighting with the Japanese and the Zheng family fleet was to force the Japanese to open up the market, turn Japan into a colony of the Hu Ben Army, and let the Hu Ben Army get a lot of money from Japan. Of course, it would be even better if Japan "voluntarily" became one or four provinces of the Celestial Empire.
To achieve this goal, we must cut off the relationship between the Japanese and the Zheng family fleet, and at the same time, we must oppress the Japanese to accept the request of the Hu Ben Army unconditionally. Currently, the Tokugawa Shogunate is the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the Hu Ben Army must surrender to the Tokugawa Shogunate. Obviously, to achieve such a goal, it is absolutely impossible without strong force.
The Japanese are also a model of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. During the Tang Dynasty, the awesome Japanese launched an attack on the Korean Peninsula, but were defeated by the Tang Navy at Baijiangkou and almost wiped out the entire army. The Japanese immediately lowered their heads and sent a large number of envoys to send Tang to curry favor with the Tang Dynasty. Let alone look at the United States in later generations and the Japanese were punished.
On the contrary, if you lose in the battle, the Japanese will gain a better position. During the Yuan Dynasty, the army that attacked Japan suffered a storm and could not land in Japan. As a result, the Japanese immediately became arrogant. So they did not take the Central Plains dynasty seriously. The Japanese dared to attack Korea again because they felt that there was nothing scary about the Ming Dynasty.
Why did the Japanese still not give up on the Ming Kingdom after retreating from North Korea? They refused to bow down and surrender? The reason was very simple. At that time, the Ming army only defeated the Japanese army and did not wipe out all the Japanese troops. It is estimated that half of them successfully retreated to the country, including most of the Japanese navy.
The Ming Navy and the Korean Navy certainly defeated the Japanese Navy, but they also suffered great losses. Deng Zilong and Li Shunchen both died in battle. Compared with each other, the winner was naturally the Ming Dynasty, but the Japanese military came and were not completely annihilated. Therefore, the Japanese were dissatisfied and always felt that they should not be the ones who failed.
Since the Ming army could not completely wipe out the Japanese army, let the Hu Ben army come. Zhang Zhun decided that once a war broke out with the Japanese, he would completely defeat the Japanese. He would be afraid of it, break it up, and he would never give it a chance to rise again. When necessary, he would immigrate to Japan in large quantities and then break it up into several parts.
...
Five days later, the Third Navy Fleet of the Tiger Ben Army Arrived at the Nagasaki Port, Japan.
Looking from the distance from Qianlijing, Nagasaki Port is quite busy. There are several merchant ships moored in the port. Looking at the flags they hung, you will know that it is the merchant ship of the Zheng family fleet. Behind the port is a dense residential area, which looks neat. It seems that there are still quite a lot of people in Nagasaki.
If you look closely at the buildings in Nagasaki, you will find that the Japanese are indeed a nation that pays great attention to details. The houses they built in the long-term port have a chessboard style. Whether it is dots, horizontal and vertical, there are all plates and eyes. In the middle of the chessboard, there are black dots moving around, so it should be the Japanese.
In fact, the Japanese also like to close the country. During the battle, various daimyos tried hard to buy weapons from overseas, and the national gates were completely open. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi basically unified Japan, the national gates were closed again. When Tokugawa Shogunate, the national gates were basically closed.
At present, there are only two trading ports opened by the Tokugawa shogunate to the outside world. One is Nagasaki and the other is Hiroshima. The objects of trade in these two ports are Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, as long as the Japanese who do maritime trading business must handle it at these two ports. In this way, the population of the two port cities will gradually increase.
When they found that the warships of the Tiger Army arrived, the merchant ships in Nagasaki Port were very uneasy. They were all a little confused and a little horrified to look at these uninvited guests. Although these sudden warships did not fire guns, the formations set up by the other party and the open gun windows were all silently showing that the other party was not good, and the good ones did not come.
Some smart merchant ship owners no longer cared about their merchant ships, and hurriedly got off the ship and hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly got off the ship and went to the shore to hide. There were so many uninvited guests and so fierce that once the gun was fired, their merchant ships would definitely be finished.
Shortly after the Hu Ben Navy appeared, a group of Japanese naval warships came from the north of Nagasaki Port. The Japanese obviously did not expect that the Hu Ben Navy's warships would suddenly appear here. So, when they rushed over, they looked a little embarrassed. They didn't even have a slightly neat formation.
"It's probably the Navy of the Tokugawa Shogunate!"
Staff Officer Han Li whispered.
"Um."
Zhang Haibin nodded casually.
From the Qianli Mirror, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy is indeed not very good. Their warships are quite large, with more than 30 ships, but there are only three large warships with displacement of more than 300 tons. Compared with the warships of the Hu Ben Army, they are not above the same level. Judging from the artillery of the Japanese Navy warships, the gap is even bigger.
Maybe the Japanese cannot cast artillery themselves, or the imported artillery is too expensive, so the Japanese Navy's warships basically cannot see the shadow of artillery. Some should be just some large-caliber muskets. Occasionally, many jars and jars on Japanese warships can be seen, and the lime, butter, sulfur, flame and salt are included in hand-to-hand combat.
In fact, the power of the Japanese Navy is indeed very bad. Otherwise, even Lee Sun-sin's turtle ship would not be able to be destroyed. The surface of the turtle ship was a layer of not too thick wood, and a solid bullet with a caliber of 60 mm could be penetrated directly. However, the Japanese Navy could not destroy the turtle ship, which shows what their artillery was.
Perhaps the Japanese were also shocked by the Hu Ben Fleet. They stopped consciously at a distance of 500 meters from the Hu Ben Navy. After a while, a whistleboat was swaying towards the Hu Ben Army with a white flag. It is estimated that they wanted to communicate with the Hu Ben Navy first to avoid misunderstandings.
"Who are you?"
“This is the sea area of Japan!”
"To avoid misunderstandings, please leave immediately!"
The Japanese Navy's whistle was directed to the side of Zhang Haibin's flagship. A Japanese officer came on board and filed a solemn protest against Zhang Haibin.
"We came from Ming Kingdom."
Zhang Haibin said calmly.
For the Japanese, the Tiger Army Navy fought in the name of the Ming Kingdom. Nothing else, just because the Ming army beat the Japanese in North Korea decades ago, it should make the name of the Ming Kingdom appear again. Don’t you still want to start a war? Our Ming Kingdom will accompany you!
"What are you here to do?"
The Japanese officer asked vigilantly.
The Japanese were indeed a little dissatisfied when facing the Ming people. They never refused to admit that Japan was defeated in the battle decades ago. However, they did not have the chance to take revenge. Tokugawa Ieyasu was an old fox. He managed to maintain his troops because he did not participate in the attack on North Korea. Therefore, he would never easily launch an attack on the Ming country.
Unfortunately, the middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army did not think so. These middle and lower-level Japanese officers had a strong sense of revenge. They felt that the battle decades ago had not ended yet. Now, the Ming Dynasty's domestic chaos was weaker than before, and it was a good time to send troops again. Even if the Tokugawa shogunate disagreed, the call for sending troops in Japan was still very high.
"We are here to visit."
Staff Officer Chen Taizhong said with a smile.
"At a guest?"
Of course the Japanese would not believe it.
Dozens of warships were scattered in one stroke, and the gun windows were opened. As a guest?
"We are the Hu Ben Army!"
Zhang Haibin officially revealed his identity.
"It's you?"
The Japanese was shocked.
"Huh? We know each other?"
Zhang Haibin felt a little surprised.
Could it be that the Japanese had already contacted the Tiger Army Navy before? It makes no sense! The first fleet that accompanied Shen Lingfei to Japan last time did not meet the Japanese!
"Da Songwei..."
The Japanese man said gritting his teeth.
"Grass!"
Zhang Haibin understood.
In love, the Japanese pirates who attacked Dasongwei last time had something to do with the Japanese in front of him. Don’t say anything, start fighting!
"Get war!"
Zhang Haibin ordered without hesitation.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The warships that had been waiting for a long time immediately shot out a series of anger at the Japanese Navy's warships. In an instant, four Japanese warships were directly flipped on the spot by densely packed solid bullets, and then sank.
The grass, you are the ones who sneaked into Dasongwei! You are so searching for something without any effort! The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army still remember the matter of Dasongwei. They are not only senior officers like Zhang Haibin.
A series of shells fell in the middle of the Japanese Navy, and they were immediately beaten to death. Japanese warships continued to sink under the bombardment of dense iron lumps. As for the losses of personnel, it goes without saying. Soon, the sea water near the Japanese warship was already blood-red.
There are 900 artillery pieces of the Third Fleet of the Tiger Army Navy! Even if there are only one side of the ship's side firing, there are more than 400. Moreover, there are at least thirty-two red-clothed cannons in the middle. The cannons of Japanese warships are even worse than muskets.
After a while, the Japanese navy could not withstand it and dispersed one after another. The three-wheeled artillery bombardment of the Hu Ben Navy sank more than a dozen Japanese warships into the sea. The other warships were also covered with scars. The injured warships were only abandoned. The Hu Ben Army's warships came to them and captured all the Japanese on the ship.
What should I do with the Japanese caught? Of course, I sent it to Liaodong. Liaodong requires so much labor, and these little Japanese are good labor! The Japanese devils are actually quite hard-working, otherwise they would not have died of overwork.
"Send the order!"
"Blast Nagasaki!"
After breaking up the Japanese Navy, Zhang Haibin felt that he was not satisfied. He also wanted to teach the Japanese a lesson. Damn, didn’t you, little Japan, attack our Dasongwei? Okay, let’s destroy your Nagasaki!
After receiving the order, all the warships were arranged in formation and aimed the muzzles at Nagasaki. In order to achieve the best bombardment effect, the warships of the Tiger Army Navy even approached less than 200 meters from the land.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, solid bullets, like raindrops, bombed fiercely towards Nagasaki. Suddenly, the entire Nagasaki port seemed to be in an uproar.
Those neat matchboxes collapsed constantly under the bombardment of solid bullets. Sometimes, they collapsed continuously. There was a fire burning in some places, but the fire became more and more fierce. It seemed that some Japanese wanted to put out the fire, but the artillery shells of the Hu Ben Army continued to fall and directly killed them.
Several tall buildings on the shore of Nagasaki became the key targets of the Tiger Army Navy to destroy. A large number of shells poured down continuously, and the buildings were smashed beyond recognition, and they kept falling down like roofs and walls. In the end, all the tall buildings fell down rumblingly.
The shelling of Nagasaki lasted for two hours. Two hours later, there was no complete building in Nagasaki. Looking through the Qianli Mirror, Nagasaki seemed to be a dead city and no living creatures were left. Thrilling crying kept coming from the burning fire.
"Walk!"
“Go to Hiroshima!”
Zhang Haibin said coldly.
If the Japanese have a genitals, just catch up!
Chapter completed!
