Chapter 1515
It's dusk.
Here in the port of Osaka controlled by the shogun, the fire and thick smoke are shining with the setting sun on the horizon, as if trying to compare who is more prosperous.
At this moment, the huge and bustling port was burning. Amidst the fire and thick smoke, the shadowy shadows moaned as the dense figures of ships exploded or broke, and the firefighters and the port were screaming outside the houses being burned by the flames. There are countless dead bodies, broken planks, tilted, broken or overturned ships floating on the sea surface of the pier, as well as the dilapidated sails with only the masts exposed on the sea, but still stubbornly emitting black smoke , is enough to explain what happened here.
That's right, half a day ago, the Li family's fleet led by two bad-hearted little girls came out of this port, and then they met those who were waiting for work after receiving the news, and joined the shogun's fleet. Surrounded and raided.
At that time, hundreds of large and small sea-going ships launched a desperate assault on the Li family's fleet from four different directions. It seemed that they imagined completely burying the invincible Li family's fleet in Osaka Bay, which only had two exits?
Unfortunately, they still miscalculated...
They overestimated the combat effectiveness of their ships, and underestimated the true strength of the Li family's fleet!
Anyway, after a certain little girl, the admiral brazenly ordered the fleet to be divided into two, and the two teams lined up to attack at full speed, and then the outer artillery positions bombarded the enemy, and flexibly turned to cross each other to replace the inner artillery during the advance. After dealing with the alternate bombardment tactics, soon, under the bombardment of the 2,480 large and small artillery pieces of the Li family fleet, the fleet of the Laijima family and the shogun less than an hour later, went to the sea. Most of them turned into piles of burning driftwood, or simply broke apart and sank whole into the sea.
And the rest retreated back into the port in embarrassment, hoping to get the cover of the strong fort of Osaka Castle?
But soon they found out in despair that under the cover of Li's fleet's terrifying artillery fire with ultra-long-range and ultra-precise range, the fort with a range far from insufficient was completely misfired by the Li's fleet before firing a few rounds of cannon. Then, under the retaliatory bombing of the Li family's fleet, the port and the vicinity of the port, and even the merchant ships and civilian ships moored in the port were all gradually shrouded in flames and smoke under the indiscriminate bombardment of intensive artillery fire. Following in the footsteps of the Hizen family.
So, until now, the mission of the Li family fleet to wipe out the Lai Dao family has finally been overfulfilled!
After the battle, no matter whether it was the ironclad fleet of the Laishima family or the large sailing ships of the shogun, none of them were intact at this time, at least there was no one intact in Osaka Bay. lossless.
"Annie..."
"We burned another large port,
Is it a little bad to do this? "
On the flagship of the super battleship "Xiangfeihu" anchored in Osaka Bay, looking at the fire and billowing black smoke in the distance, I was looking at the explosive bombs that other ships in the fleet still fired towards the city from time to time As well as the bangs and explosions coming from the city, the second admiral Song Yifeng couldn't bear it, and then wanted to persuade Annie to order a ceasefire or something.
In Song Yifeng's view, it is almost enough to completely wipe out the pirate ships of the Japanese pirates and the fleets that actively attacked them. Now it seems that it is a bit too cruel to continue shelling the city?
"Um……"
(ー`ー)
"The fleet seems to be a bit too strong..."
(,,.,,)
However, Annie didn't listen to Song Yifeng's words at all, but looked at the fleet of battleships parked on the sea with some confusion.
She had just discovered it when she was ambushed. The wooden sail warships she created seemed to be a little too strong, whether it was speed, flexibility, power of cannons, range and rate of fire, etc., they were all too good So much so that none of the hundreds of large and small sailboats of those Japanese pirates could rush forward at all, and were directly torn to pieces by one or two cannons?
"!!"
"Miss Song, you can't stop now!"
"The current low-intensity bombardment is necessary. We must bring panic to the people in the city and let the daimyo and the shogunate know that we have the ability to completely destroy their coastal cities. Only in this way will they give in completely!"
"Otherwise, if I wipe out Lai Dao today, another Lai Dao or even more Lai Dao will pop up in the future!"
"We have to work hard and subdue him, so that we can keep the Daming sea area safe for a hundred years, and ensure that no one dares to obstruct the business route of our Li Family Fleet!"
At this time, before Anne could speak, the old captain with a fierce face directly objected.
If it was he who made the decision here instead of the admirals of the two little girls who were dawdling in front of him, he would have ordered Osaka to be turned into a sea of flames, and to bombard and weaken the shogun's coastal cities and ports as much as possible. The power and authority of the new shogunate, in turn, supported the Hizen family, which unbalanced the master-slave power in the Wa country, and then plunged it into a century of war again.
Only in that way, a chaotic and relatively backward Wa country is the best for Daming and the Li family!
But unfortunately, he is not in charge here. For some things, he has to ask the approval of the two admirals in front of him, especially the honorable Admiral Anne. After all, he is only the captain of the flagship. You can only make suggestions on the sidelines, and directly amplify and over-execute after receiving the order.
"..."
"Annie, what are you going to do?"
Song Yifeng obviously couldn't speak against that fierce captain, so she had no choice but to turn her head embarrassingly, and asked the admiral, the little girl who was lying on the side of the boat, staring blankly at the flames and thick smoke in the distance, I want the other person to make a decision.
"Hey~!"
ε=(ο`*)))
"What else can I do? After all the fights, the fleet of the Lai Dao family has also been defeated, so they must be made to surrender. Otherwise, what if they don't let the Li family's caravan come to do business in the future?"
(~)
"It's better to persuade them to surrender as soon as possible. Just like the bench port before, obediently give us supplies and compensation, and then we should almost go back. At that time, find a way to let the ten ships in the Danshui City base Get moving too, we should go to Nanyang and play with sister Li Huamei and the others."
()
When Annie thought of the freshwater fortress city she made in Xiaoliuqiu Island, she had a headache, because she still didn't know where to get the population, and she couldn't keep using spells to create people or something. It affects the balance of the 'game' too much.
Of course, it seems that the balance has been affected a little bit now. Just ten ships almost wiped out the navy of other countries. Is it really too powerful?
"do not care!"
o(*`ー)o
"You, bearded man, go and make them surrender, otherwise, we will continue to shoot and burn their cities!"
(ψ`╭╮′)o
Anne is getting impatient, she just wants to quickly end the boring game here, and then deal with the manpower problem of the other fleet parked in the fortress, and then go straight to Nanyang, so that it is very likely that it is still there The real Li family fleet over there led by that scoundrel, Li Huamei's big sister, knows how powerful she is, Admiral Anne?
It has been more than half a month now, and it will take a while to go back when the time comes, and it will probably be a month before the official departure to Nanyang. God knows Li Huamei, sister, and the others Where will it go then?
"!!"
"Yes! As ordered!!"
After receiving the order from the admiral, the ferocious bearded captain was shocked first, and then he promised loudly before turning to look at the first officer next to him.
"Order!"
"Suspend the shelling first, find a few prisoners, and ask them to send a letter to the shogunate on the shore, asking them to surrender unconditionally before noon tomorrow, otherwise, none of their coastal cities will be able to live well!"
The vicious bearded captain gave orders to the officer, and after watching the other officer salute and leave without saying a word, he grinned contentedly.
"Great Admiral!"
"Is there anything else you can order?"
The ferocious bearded captain turned around again, and whispered obsequiously towards their little girl, the admiral.
"there is none left!"
('~`●)
"It's getting dark, so I'll leave it to you here, as well as the negotiations tomorrow, and you are not allowed to make noise until people wake up!"
(0`) Ahh~!
Annie is a little sleepy. She didn't even take a nap today. She kept firing and chatting non-stop. Now that she's recovered, she finally stopped temporarily. So, she's going to go back and catch up on a good night's sleep. As for other things, Just wait until she wakes up tomorrow.
The fleet that came to the Dao family didn't seem to be difficult to deal with, and they were wiped out in less than half a month, and that idiot sister Li Huamei hadn't won for many years, it was really too bad.
"yes!"
"Follow orders!"
Standing at attention and saluting with his fists clasped on his chest, the vicious bearded captain looked at the second man who was looking at the direction of the port with some unbearable embarrassment until the small figure disappeared along the spiral staircase into the door of the captain's cabin on the lower deck. Admiral Song Yifeng.
"Miss Song..."
"This is war! And war kills people!"
"If you don't want this kind of situation to happen in Daming, or in your country's Seoul one day, you'd better take this opportunity to beat the Japanese even harder!"
The vicious bearded captain would not tell Song Yifeng: If he could make the decision, he would not have issued an ultimatum to the shore so soon to persuade him to surrender. He would first turn around the coastline of the Japanese country and enclose all the important ports, towns, and shipbuilding areas. The factory and ships were destroyed, so that the other party will fully understand the gap between the two parties before accepting conditions such as peace talks and compensation.
As for the ports and trade ports, it is enough to leave the Hizen family as an agent, and as for the others, they will all be destroyed!
"I……"
"I just wanted to do business with Sister Li traveling around the world. I didn't want to go to war everywhere."
"and!"
"Annie and I came here just to beat Japanese pirates to the island. There's no need to destroy their port. This is the second time it was burned, and it looks like it burned harder than Nagasaki before..."
Song Yifeng was still a little bit sorry, after all, she was just a little Taoist nun who just came down the mountain.
"What's the difference between us and Japanese pirates when we do this now?"
Sighing, Song Yifeng lay down on the edge of the boat, staring blankly at the pieces of wood of the boats floating from afar on the sea.
From the beginning, they just wanted to fight against Japanese pirates coming to the island, but now that the fleet of the Laidao family has been completely wiped out, they should leave here after completing their mission to follow Sister Li and the others to travel around the world and do business. It's not that they are still stranded here to force the Japanese on the shore to surrender. That kind of thing is indeed not what they wanted to do in the first place.
"ha!"
Looking at the sunset that has gradually sunk below the sea level, and looking at the red port here and the equally red sky in the distance, the bearded captain didn't say much, but just smiled noncommittally.
"Miss Song is still too kind..."
"Since you can't bear it, you'd better go back and rest early. If you can't see it, you won't think too much about it. I'll wait for the rough man to take care of things here!"
Fortunately, the second admiral Song Yifeng is not in charge of the fleet, so the bearded captain feels that he can still secretly operate some things under the admiral's instruction, such as tomorrow's negotiation?
He believes that those Japanese will definitely send envoys like the Hiqian family. Of course, if the other party does not surrender, it will be great. He can just continue to bombard the far away man according to the order of their chief admiral. The city, until it is completely burned to the ground?
"All right!"
"Then I'll go back and rest, Uncle Li, you should rest early too..."
Flattening her lips, Song Yifeng saw that she seemed to be unable to speak to the other party, so she could only turn around resentfully, and walked towards the deck below along the spiral staircase that Little Annie left just now.
...
The Li family's fleet stopped here in Osaka Bay for a full three days, and then three days later in the afternoon, they finally lifted the anchor and raised their sails, and slowly sailed towards the southern exit into the open sea.
"Set off!"
(')
"Go back to Hangzhou! Go back to Danshui! Then go to Nanyang to play with Li Huamei and the others!!"
*. (ˋ)*.
I was delayed here for three days, which is very rare. After seeing that the fleet has finally been replenished, and seeing those Japanese people busy using various ships to transport all kinds of materials for each ship for a full three days, I have been waiting for a long time. The patient little Anne finally waited for the moment when the fleet set sail, so she couldn't help cheering loudly on the flagship's podium.
She didn't know what the ferocious bearded captain talked with the Japanese on the shore, and the envoys of the shoguns, and she didn't ask, but she saw it anyway, and their fleet seemed to have received many, many messages. Gold, silver, goods, and other things?
Maybe it is the same as the previous city called the bench, the bearded man also signed some contracts with the daimyos here and extorted a lot of compensation, right?
But that kind of thing is not what Anne cares about, all she knows is that now that the pirates are over, they are going back.
At that time, half of the people may have to be allocated to control the other fleet that remains in the base, allowing them to develop and do business here and protect the trade routes, while the others will continue to lead the fleet south with her. One and a half months after sister Li Huamei parted ways, they should be able to reach Southeast Asia smoothly, that is, the area of Nanyang that is said to be very prosperous, with many ports and many Franz merchant ships.
