Chapter 226 The stomach hurts too much, it's better to kill it with a gun
In the 16th year of Kiyonaga, the Shogunate issued the final lockdown order and moved Hirado's Dutch merchant house to Nagasaki. In the same year, the Shogunate ordered the Fukuoka Kuroda family to build a branch office in Tocho at the entrance of Nagasaki Port and Xibo on the other side, and stationed troops to guard the troops. The next year, the Saga Guoshima family came to replace it, and the two vassals continued to alternate year after year, and took turns to garrison in Nagasaki.
Because the two foreign offices are located in the Kowloon of Nagasaki Port, they are called Kowloon. Because the two foreign offices have 1,000 soldiers stationed in Nagasaki, they are also called "Thousand People's Kowloon".
A mere thousand soldiers, even if you add the ronin, wild samurai, etc. from Nagasaki, that little manpower is a piece of cake for the Zheng army fleet.
After hearing the defeat, I saw the Zheng family naval ships easily flatten the forts on Shaoxiang Island and Takao Island, and then the navy went straight into the depths of Nagasaki Bay. Matsuura Shinnobu's journey seemed to have no effect at all, and Ming Khan finally oozed from Katsushima's forehead.
This is really a big deal.
His first reaction was to catch Takawa and his son and threaten Zheng Zhilong, but Jobayashi Taki and Yamazaki Masashi stopped Katsushima from being crazy.
These two practices that were not taken seriously by Katsushima Kuroshima, and they didn't dare to say no to Katsushima Kuroshima earlier because the status differences between the two sides were too different. Even if they were the Hokage of the Tokugawa family, it depends on who Katsushima Kuroshima was not?
But now it's different. Katsushima's adventure is doomed to fail, and he has already caused a big disaster.
This time, Katsushima Guoshi was going to be finished, and even the Guoshima family would be affected.
As for Katsushima, Katsushima had already issued an urgent call to the Saga family to summon troops to help, but it was impossible for the Isafari soldiers to arrive immediately.
"Look for the Dutch!" The horse farm shouted loudly. The Dutch had always wanted to expand the area of the mall on the island, but he had never been agreed by Nagasaki. As long as this transaction was used, the Dutch would definitely be willing.
A group of people who were already in a state of burning thought that the Dutch would like to see Zheng Zhilong get into evil with the Japanese? This is not drinking poison to quench thirst, but rather using the land to deal with Qin and putting firewood to put out the fire.
Sniterke, the director of the Dutch shopping mall in the Dutch Island who received the Japanese notification, agreed immediately, and then took Jacob, a senior businessman, to his destination on a boat at the dock.
Because there are Japanese around, the two of them rarely talk. On the contrary, Snitke had many conversations with the Japanese news that led him to the guise.
When he knew the size of Zheng Zhilong's fleet that came to Japan, Sniterke didn't feel like he raised his eyebrows, "Oh, God is here, what did you do? It made Zheng so angry, this is his main fleet."
If it was lost in Japan all at once, the Dutch could laugh out loud in their dreams. However, Snitek would never dare to imagine that it was so beautiful. As for the Japanese's water power, if Snitek looked down on them, it would be impossible to capture all the large sailing warships in one go. Unless there are two more kamikazes.
However, the Dutch still trusted the Japanese army's strength very much.
There are many samurai here, just like the knights in Europe earlier. Although they are arrogant and rude, they are also very brave. There are also a large population, they can also make muskets and artillery, with strong potential for war. This makes the Dutch very sure that even if they defeat the Japanese at sea, they will not be able to defeat such a powerful country from land.
Therefore, from the beginning to the Dutch, Europeans always regarded trade as the first priority to Japan. It was not even called missionary, but the Dutch agreed. They were not Portugal.
"Please be honest, the methods of holding hostages are not very glorious. I can understand the anger of the Marquis, but I also hope you can calm down and think about it. Japan is a powerful country, and if war is provoked, I don't think you can win."
Zheng Zhilong understands Dutch, so Snitke directly communicated with Zheng Zhilong in Dutch. The two of them kept talking nonstop. Not only did they not calm Zheng Zhilong's persuasion, but they made him angry.
Snitek had a grudge against the Japanese, and he kept using Japan to suppress Zheng Zhilong. Isn’t this adding fuel to the fire? But this is Snitek’s plan, and the Japanese were stopped outside.
Zheng Zhilong's mouth broke out, but his heart was cold. He thought of the Japanese outside and should have put these people in and let them take a good look at the ugly faces of the helper he invited.
At critical moments, Europeans must be reliable and even pigs can fly.
Zheng Zhilong looked at the backs of Snitek and Jacob leaving, and only thought of the repeated mediations in history, the repeated use of barbarians to control barbarians and his grandmother's mouth.
"Father, does this Dutch have a grudge against the Japanese?" Zheng Sen is now very disgusted with Japan. The incident of Katsushima Katsushima obstructing Takawa and his son from returning to China has ruined the original good impression of Japan in his heart.
But no matter how annoyed him with Japan, Snitke's actions of adding fuel to the fire can be seen.
"Of course the Dutch hopes that we will fight with Japan. In this way, will Batavia's pressure be reduced? Moreover, as long as this war occurs, the Japanese will rely more on them."
Zheng Sen nodded and said yes, this principle is very simple and clear at a glance.
"You go and lead the troops to take them down. Wait a few more days, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we will fight them hard and then go to Edo to visit." Just like when he was against the Tartars, he has absolute strategic initiative, so the war will be pleasant.
Zheng Zhilong felt like he was about to fly. This feeling of beating a little Japanese was absolutely untouchable to the Chinese in this era in the hearts of time travelers. Although the people of the southern countries would grit their teeth when talking about Japanese pirates, this hatred was too small compared to later generations.
Zheng Zhilong, who was in a good mood, completely ignored the impact of his orders on the disaster of Nagasaki Port.
When several bird boats and the Ukule ship sailed into the deepest part of Nagasaki Port and cleared the last little defense force of the Japanese, the old gate ship began to land on a ship of infantry.
From musketeers with bayonets to iron-clad iron men, the tide surged into Nagasaki, wherever they went, there was no resistance.
Nagasaki, which does not cover a large area, is really not ordinary rich. Since the Portuguese discovered this, it has only been a few decades. Nagasaki has become a top-notch rich place for the island country.
A large number of merchants gather here. Every year, one or two hundred trading ships docked here. These ships were either loaded with silk, sugar and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, as well as cotton cloth, study supplies, books, lacquerware, Chinese medicine, handicrafts, and even cosmetics, or loaded with some rare things from the West, bringing endless needs to the Japanese. Of course, they also transported away the gold and silver they had worked hard to mine.
You should know that in Japan today, there are not many other things, just a lot of gold and silver. Just a Sado Island can make the shogunate live a luxurious life. Not to mention the Ishimi Gin Mountain, Katae Gin Mountain, Izu Gin Mountain, etc.
Japan, which came from the era when the Warring States Period used mountains of gold and silver as the confidence of war, is now a veritable "Treasure Island".
Therefore, in just a few decades, Nagasaki has gathered a small 100,000 residents. In Japan, with a population of nearly 20 million, the population is not extremely prominent, but it is already a real big city.
Because there are too many vendors, this city formed by trade lacks long-term planning, or because of habits, the roads in the Shimocho-chin of Nagasaki Castle are narrow, and buildings are connected by buildings.
Because there are many wealthy businessmen, as the only external window in Japan today, the city is full of elegantly decorated shops. If you look closely, the decoration and environment of taverns, hotels and hotels are higher than those in other cities. Even the average value can exceed Edo. It is because there are too many rich people here.
On the Tianshou Pavilion, Taege and Masashi Yamazaki Masashiro looked at the large number of Zheng army soldiers who were pouring into the town of Nagasaki, their eyes full of despair.
"Nasaki is finished, we are finished too..." Yamasaki Masaki couldn't stop crying. He didn't want to die. He was in his prime and he had a bright future. You should know that Nagasaki's status is very high. Even if he was recalled to Edo in two years, he would have a good prospect.
But now? Nagasaki was captured by the Zheng army. He and the horse court had to apologize and could only apologize and not be seduced to maintain the reputation of their family and ensure that their descendants can continue to become officials smoothly.
"It's because we're so lucky. We actually bumped into Katsushima, the man..." Richiezuki, the horse court, said with a hatred.
The Warring States Period has gone far away. The storm of those days has long been gone, and the shogunate inheritance has been the third generation. But the fact that the Rabaya Takichi and Yamazaki Masashima collided with Katsushima Katsushima. If it were Kuroda Tada from the Fukuoka clan, they would still have some say. However, facing the powerful Katsushima Katsushima, the two could only watch Katsushima dominate everything.
Of course, they did not make any objection and allowed Katsushima Katsushima to be the reason why Nagasaki has fallen to this point.
But no matter what, at this point, Katsushima Katsushima no longer has the ability to control whether he or she is separathymn, but Masashi Yamazaki and Matsushima are definitely going to die.
"I don't have a septum, even if I'm killed by a cannon, I won't have a septum." Seeing Yamazaki Masashiro pulling out the ribs, Rie Chong shook his head. It hurts too much. Even if someone makes a mistake, Rie Chong is unwilling to endure it.
Compared to cutting his stomach with a knife, he thinks it is better to be beaten to death by others.
After saying that, he ran down to Tianshou Pavilion without looking back.
Yamazaki Masato looked at Ligeki, who was leaving the horse farm in shock, and he was still thinking of asking him to kill the head for him. "Baga, Baga, you coward, big bastard, big bastard."
Masashi Yamazaki thought of Katsushima, but instead he gave up the idea. He should stop asking for humiliation. He put away his ribs, returned to Tianshou Pavilion, picked up the sake prepared on the table and drank it all. Then he went downstairs with a knife.
"Die, die, die, die, and the sins will be clean."
Yamazaki Masashi didn't even look at the panicked maids running past his eyes, let alone care about them. He just carried a knife and guarded the gate of Honmaru.
With a few gunfire and screams coming, as footsteps approached, Yamazaki Masashiro knew that his last time had also come. He had already heard the screams of Li Chong from the Racecourse, and it was his turn now, right?
In the backyard of Honmaru, Katsushima Katsushima was staring at an oil lamp, and there were close servants with nervous expressions and a Tang Tongshi.
