Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 320 The fish in Edo Bay cannot be eaten (please subscribe!)

Hundreds of small boats swarmed towards the Ming fleet, and the entire sea outside the port was filled with oars and oars breaking the waves and the beast-like roars of Japanese sailors.

To them, the Ming warship ahead was nothing more than a bigger prey.

When the first round of the Minhai Fleet's 24-pound long-barreled Polu gun shells flew over their heads with the whistling sound of tearing the air, and hit the "large warship" behind them, they did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

However, when the 68-pound short-heavy guns sounded, and several small early boats rushing to the forefront were torn into pieces in an instant, no one realized that something was wrong.

"Xiaolin-kun, have you seen it?"

A Japanese sailor on a small morning boat leaned on an iron cannon and pointed at a tattered ship with minced meat hanging in front of him, calling out to his companions in horror.

"That's Jiesuke's boat! They're all dead! Mingren killed them!"

Kobayashi responded loudly.

Although Jiezhu was from the same town as the two of them, there was no trace of sadness or anger in Kobayashi's tone at the moment, only deep fear.

Because they saw with their own eyes that the battleship of the Ming army burst into flames, countless fragments of the Xiaozao ship where Jiesuke was located jumped up.

Almost in an instant, the Xiaozaochuan became what it was in front of it.

Mingren's shells are too evil!
"Bang bang bang..."

"Puff~puff~..."

The roaring shells splashed on the Japanese boat, causing a bloody storm.

The Japanese pirate sailors wanted to hide, but the wooden baffles installed to defend against arrows and muskets surrounded the small early boats into wooden boxes. The wooden boards blocked the Japanese pirates and they didn't even have a chance to fall into the sea. Torn to shreds.

The Kohayafune rushing forward was shrouded in death under the rain of shells, and the main battleship of the Tokugawa family in the rear was not much better.

Especially the most beautiful Aberdeen Tenji Maru in the port.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who had just boarded the ship, hadn't even had the habit of slamming Fang Qiong, and several shells had already hit him.

When fighting the Satsuma clan, it was said that the shipbuilding technology of the Japanese country was backward, and the Anzhai ship and the Guan ship were all lapped structure hulls without keel ribs.

Therefore, the anti-gun anti-collision ability is approximately equal to zero.

When these few shells fell, the Tenchimaru, the general's throne ship, was blown to pieces.

The unlucky Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was overturned into the sea by the blast.

The gorgeous and heavy-duty armor directly made the general sink to the bottom without taking a second thought.

Fortunately, the port was not deep, and some loyal samurai hurriedly fished Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. Although he drank a stomach full of water, his life was still alive.

"My lord general! Are you alright!" a warrior said anxiously.

"Cough cough..."

The pale Tokugawa Tsunakichi finally recovered after coughing again and again. With the support of several samurai, he stood up and looked towards the sea.

Blood, flames, smoke, screams.

The sea surface of the entire Edo Bay port has been rendered into a scene of purgatory.

His water army had no ability to resist under the attack of Ming army warships!
This cannot be called a battle at all!
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

The Japanese navy was completely defeated.

Nearly [-] large and small ships did not cause the slightest loss to the Ming Royal Navy, but the price they paid made the Tokugawa family gasp in pain.

More than half of them were torn to pieces by the artillery fire during this massacre, and the blood plasma and minced meat scattered into the sea even dyed the seawater dark red.

Zhu Tiangui frowned at the changed color of the sea.

"It seems that the fish caught in Edo Bay cannot be eaten."

"Order! Let the Japanese Congregation Army and the Japanese Governor's Mansion Army (Watay's Manchurian soldiers) land, and let them pay attention, men can be killed at will, children and women should not mess around, they are all valuable populations of Nanyang, and don't set fire , this Edo Castle is different from Tsurumaru Castle, don't burn it down!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tsurumaru Castle, the main city of the Satsuma clan, except for the Shimadzu family's mansion, the other places are like a small dilapidated village, and it will be burned if it is burned.

But this Edo Castle is different.

Although the city buildings are mainly made of wooden structures, Tsurumaru Castle is a bunch of low shacks. Although there are also a large number of shacks in Edo Castle, there are also many pavilions in the central area.

Moreover, as the home of the Tokugawa family, and as one of the three most prosperous cities in the Wa Kingdom, the population of Edo Castle alone has exceeded the population of the entire Satsuma Domain, a full 30!

Such a big city will be named Zhu in the future. If it burns down, how much will it cost to rebuild?

Moreover, the population is large, there are many merchants, there are many nobles, and there are naturally many good things. If they are all burned, wouldn't it be a loss?
This is also the reason why Zhu Tiangui did not order the bombardment of the city as usual after he crushed the Japanese navy to death, but just continued to bomb the docks, and then let the Dongying Association join the army to land and fight.

In his eyes, this Edo Castle already belongs to His Majesty, so why is there any reason to bombard his own things now?
Of course, if the city wall needs to be bombed, other places must be bombed!

As for the possibility of heavy losses for the Japanese Association's army?
Um?Go back and report to the emperor, and then engrave a monument to commemorate it.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi ran fast, but unfortunately, the Tokugawa family's army, which was planning to land in Satsuma, directly became a living target for the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Congregation Army.

The whole pier turned into a sea of ​​corpses, and the slow-running Tokugawa samurai were either swallowed by shells, or sent to hell by bullets and bayonets from the Japanese Union Army.

The Tokugawa shogunate is gone.

After escaping back to Edo Castle, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was caught in a dilemma, whether to stick to Edo or make a strategic move.

Yoshiho Yanagisawa, a side servant of the Tokugawa shogunate: "General, there is an old saying in China, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. Edo Castle is already a dangerous place. The general should put the overall situation first and retreat immediately!"

The side servant is the official title of the Tokugawa shogunate, and he is a close servant of the shogun.

"Edo Castle is strong and powerful, and there are [-] elite warriors in the city. It is not so easy for the Ming people to take Edo Castle!"

"We can leave half of the defenders to stand firm in the city and wait for reinforcements. After the situation improves, it is the wisest choice, General, to return to Edo!"

Tokugawa Tsunakichi roared with red eyes: "As long as you stick to Edo Castle, reinforcements from Maebashi, Mito, Utsunomiya, Fukushima and other places will continue to gather."

"If I leave Edo Castle at this time, the morale of the army will inevitably be slackened, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the Ming people to take advantage of it!"

"As long as we stick to Edo Castle, we still have a chance to come back."

For Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, this is a big gamble. As long as he can persist in Edo, the Wa country will not perish!

Of course, for Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, if he lost Edo, he would not be able to sit still as a shogun.

If the Tokugawa family wasn't a shogun, what would the Wa country do?
