Steel Dynasty - Chapter 916

[Chapter 913 Nazhijin Incident]

“Fight first and then make peace?”

the warriors exclaimed in unison.

Yamada Nobunaga picked up the tea on the low table and took a sip, savoring the elegant fragrance of the tea. After a long time, he explained: “If I sue for peace without fighting, the other daimyo will definitely accuse me of being cowardly, but if I fight, I won’t.” If they lose, they will have nothing to say. At this time, they can clearly see the disparity in strength between Japan and Dayu. Of course, if they win, there is no need to worry. “

After a pause, he continued: ” As for suing for peace, it is a desperate strategy. The navy of the Great Yu Kingdom is too large, and our warships are no match for it. The land where we grew up is surrounded by the sea. If we cannot trade with foreign countries, we will never be able to develop, not to mention that there are already The Dutch, then the British, and now the Great Chongqing, all this shows that we have been left behind by them in terms of weapons. If we don’t make progress, the future results will be like Korea. If we can temporarily The humiliation is worth it in exchange for Dayu’s efforts in helping Dayu’s industry. After all, decades ago we paid tribute to Dayu every year. “

“Da Ming, I’m afraid Dayu’s purpose this time is to prepare. Annexing us is not like the previous punishment. Ever since the prince named Xiao Ming became the emperor, the country of Chongqing has still changed its appearance,” a warrior in his thirties said worriedly.

Yamada Nobunaga looked at the samurai who spoke. This was the most trusted samurai around him. His name was Sato Hideyoshi. He had a very flexible mind and a keen sense of conspiracy.

It was with his assistance that he was able to achieve his current status, and Sato Hideyoshi was originally from the Sato family and was the eldest son of the domestic Sato daimyo.

“So this time we have to show our determination to defeat the Chongqing Kingdom together. Unlike Goryeo, our firearms and population are several times that of Goryeo. It is not easy to completely conquer us!” Yamada Nobunaga snapped. said.

“Yes!” All the warriors bowed their heads in response.

…

In Busan City, after a small gathering with Ye Qingyun, Yue Yun did not stay in the flower streets and willow lanes of Busan City, but returned to his flagship. He had his own lounge in the battleship.

After glancing at the map, Yue Yun’s eyes focused on Nazhijin Bay, which would be their first step in attacking Japan.

Early the next morning, he ordered the battleship to move to Nanotsu. The four hundred miles of sea distance was only a day’s journey for the battleship.

At the same time, Yamada Nobunaga was also mobilizing the remaining Japanese warships. In fact, in order to retain the only 200 warships these days, he ordered all Anzha ships to enter the inland river to take refuge, and installed artillery to deal with Dayu. country.

Now that the news of a full-scale attack by the Chongqing navy was confirmed, he could only fight his last battle according to his own plan and worked hard to reach his current position. He did not want to be dared to go down by other famous names.

In addition to the Anzhai ship, he also mobilized 80,000 musketeers, 200 iron cannons, and 8,000 cavalry. Just like the Battle of Goryeo, this time he still recruited soldiers from various daimyo, which coincided with his purpose.

In a tense atmosphere, Yue Yun’s fleet arrived at Nazhijin Bay at dusk that night. Looking at the deserted dock, he showed an inexplicable smile.

Like countless fleet inspections, whenever they arrived at the outskirts of Nanojin, the place was deserted. He knew very well that there were small Japanese boats cruising in the nearby waters.

These ships were small in size and fast. They could not catch up with sail warships. They could only catch up with steam ships. No less than ten Japanese small ships were sunk by them along the way.

But they can’t keep chasing these Japanese pirates disguised as fishermen. After all, attacking Nazhijin is their purpose.

As the saying goes, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. The merchant ships at Nazhijin Pier are gone, but the pier is there, and Nazhijin City is also there.

“General, do you want to enter the inland river?” Liu Chen asked. Nazhijin was built beside an inland river. Through the inland river, Nazhijin City can be directly bombarded.

“We can’t take this risk. The Japanese warships may be hidden in the inland river. This inland river is narrow and the Japanese artillery can shoot directly at the river. Then it will be troublesome.”

Before coming, Yue Yun already had a plan. “War is no longer the way it used to be. The most important thing now is to land. You lead the soldiers ashore immediately to build a position.”

After that, he picked up the telescope and looked at the pier. At this time, there were already many Japanese soldiers on the pier. Come, some of these Japanese soldiers are holding matchlocks, some are holding flintlock guns, and there are even a few artillery pieces imitating the appearance of the Golden Horde.

“Artillery preparation!”

Yue Yun said lightly. The army’s tactics were changing, and the navy’s tactics were also changing at the same time. Since the deployment of explosive ammunition, the navy now has the ability to carry out saturation bombardment on land.

After all, there are even hundreds of cannons on a battleship, and even one side has about fifty cannons. There are more than 20 warships with thousands of cannons firing at the same time.

However, such high-density shelling can only be described as luxury, but Yue Yun didn’t feel sorry for the shells at all today, because for him, he would definitely find someone to pay for the shells.

Despite the hatred in his heart, he still did not forget his true duty.

“Send someone to deliver the treaty and limit them to reply within two days, otherwise we will start an all-out war!” When everything was ready, Yue Yun handed a prepared treaty document to the adjutant on the flagship.

After a while, a small boat was put down, and the soldiers holding the document and the treaty got off the boat and rowed toward the dock. When they arrived at the dock, the soldiers handed the treaty to the Japanese general.

But the Japanese general took one look at it and threw the treaty to the soldiers, and drew his sword to threaten the soldiers who sent the message. As a last resort, the soldiers had to row back.

“General, what exactly did you write that made the Japanese general so angry?” Liu Chen said with interest.

“It’s very simple. Let Japan admit its defeat, cede territory and pay compensation, give Chongqing the most preferential treatment, and then compensate the war expenses of 40 million taels of silver. Of course, this is just a rough estimate.”

Hearing this, Liu Chen smiled helplessly. It is exactly the same as the original treaty of Goryeo.

“No wonder he is so angry.” Liu Chen curled his lips.

“The opportunity has been given to them. In this case, we can only fight.” Yue Yun said excitedly. This treaty is indeed unequal, but the Japanese country has never talked about equality with the Yu country. Now the Japanese country does not compromise. Played into his hands.

And this is what the emperor means. For island countries like Japan, they must have the ability to attack their homeland in order to contain them.

So, after pondering for a while, he finally shouted: “Fire!”

Following the order, six warships fired at the pier at the same time. More than 300 shells covered the pier in an instant. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky and explosions were heard.

PS: After a busy day, the test results came out. It was tentatively classified as protein allergy. I stopped breastfeeding and took amino acid milk powder. I hope nothing happens again. I will write a chapter tonight. If there are no mistakes tomorrow, Snail will make up for it.
