Chapter 274: Extremely Hungry

Elvis led the soldiers of the Arizona Infantry Regiment to land at Waime Fort and quickly formed a formation to approach Waime Fort.

Although the soldiers of the Arizona Infantry Regiment were newly recruited by Liang Yao, they were all veterans who had been through many battles. Facing the tragic situation of the Saga samurai on Waime Fort, they did not feel any psychological discomfort and calmly advanced slowly with their guns.

What surprised Elvis was that the two hundred remnants on Waime Fort actually took the initiative to launch a suicidal charge against them.

"These ignorant Japanese monkeys are simply looking for death!"

Elvis frowned and gave the order.

"Freely shoot on the spot, don't leave any alive!"

The leading sergeant carried the Saga clan flag and rushed towards the Arizona Infantry Regiment, followed by a group of samurai, like moths to a flame.

The soldiers of the Arizona Infantry Regiment raised the Dresser needle guns in their hands and pulled the trigger at the crazy Japanese monkeys.

How could medieval soldiers armed with swords, guns and primitive firearms be the opponents of modern armies? Dense bullets ruthlessly harvested the lives of these Japanese samurai and smashed the flag of the Hizen Saga Domain.

Soon, the soldiers of the Arizona Infantry Regiment easily eliminated the remnants of the soldiers on the Waime Battery and captured the Waime Battery. Elvis cut off the Saga Domain flag on the Waime Battery and replaced it with the regimental flag of the Arizona Infantry Regiment and the American Stars and Stripes.

The soldiers of the Arizona Infantry Regiment who captured the Waime Battery cheered like a tsunami.

"The Arizona Infantry Regiment has taken on the task of capturing the Waime Battery, and the capture of Nagasaki will be handed over to our California Infantry Regiment." Deng Yan said.

"Maybe the California Infantry Regiment doesn't have this opportunity." Liang Yao stared at the Waime Battery and said.

"No chance?" Deng Yan didn't understand what he meant.

"The Japanese have always been hard-hearted, and Naomasa Kojima is not a fool. With the experience of the Waime Fort, he will never fight with us again. He can give an explanation to the Tokugawa Shogunate by fighting the Waime Fort." Liang Yao said to everyone with his hands behind his back.

"It's getting late, everyone, have a good rest, and we will enter Nagasaki tomorrow."

At the same time, Nagasaki City was shrouded in a panic, which spread rapidly with the fall of the Waime Fort.

"Master, the Americans have completely captured the Waime Fort, and none of the samurai on the Waime Fort survived!" Oki Jojin reported the news of the Waime Fort to Naomasa Kojima in despair.

"How is it possible? It's only been one day, and the Waime Fort has been lost?!"

Nagasaki Magistrate Osawa Yasutsu did not believe that the Waime Fort would be lost in just one day.

Naomasa Kojima also had a painful expression on his face, and then took a deep breath and said to Oki Jojin.

"Send an envoy to Edo to inform the general of this news. You will come with me to Lan Pavilion and Tang Pavilion now."

"Yes! Master."

The next morning, as Liang Yao expected, Naomasa Kobe took the initiative to visit. Naomasa Kobe followed several Dutch and Chinese people as interpreters and assisted in mediation.

Liang Yao and Perry met with Naomasa Kobe on the Roland.

"Japan and the United States have no hatred, so why would they fight each other?" Naomasa Kobe said.

Liang Yao was not completely unable to speak Japanese. He only knew a few words such as Yamedie, Siguoyi, and Yiku. It was obviously beyond his ability to communicate with Naomasa Kobe in Japanese.

The Dutch brought by Naomasa Kobe did not speak English very well at first, but they were more proficient in French, so they translated Naomasa Kobe's words into French.

Fortunately, Liang Sen was proficient in English, Chinese and Japanese and acted as a translator.

"No hatred?" Liang Yao sneered, "When you abused the crew of my American whaling ship, ignored our country's note, and handed the crew of the American whaling ship to the Dutch for disposal, did you ever think that this day would come?!"

"We can make compensation." Naomasa Kojima gritted his teeth and said.

Having been a feudal lord for so many years, Naomasa Kojima, who is proficient in Chinese studies, naturally knows that it is easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime. Abusing the crew is just an excuse for the other party.

But at present, he is weak and facing a strong enemy, Naomasa Kojima can only choose to surrender, hoping to pay some money and end the matter.

Liang Yao went on an expedition and came to Japan from afar, not just to ask for compensation.

"Compensation is necessary, but compensation is not a long-term solution. Only a treaty can maintain a long-term peaceful and friendly relationship between the United States and your feudal lord."

As he said, Liang Yao asked Hu Jinchen to hand the treaty to Naomasa Kojima. This treaty tailored for Nagasaki was written in both English and Japanese.

Naomasa Naoshima took the treaty and read the contents of the treaty.

First, the Hizen Domain compensated the United States for military expenses of 500,000 taels of silver each for the army and navy, totaling 1 million taels.

Second, the United States was responsible for taking over the Nagasaki Gaime Fort.

Third, a concession was set aside in Nagasaki for the United States to establish the American Pavilion. The lease was 100 years. The concession was equivalent to American territory. American laws were implemented within the concession, and the shogunate authorities and Nagasaki authorities could not interfere.

Fourth, the United States enjoyed the same trade rights in Nagasaki as the Qing and the Netherlands.

Fifth, American merchants could freely open factories in Nagasaki.

Sixth, American citizens enjoyed extraterritoriality in Nagasaki and the Hizen Domain, and Japanese law had no right to restrict American citizens.

The contents of the treaty made Naomasa Naoshima's veins bulge.

Nabeshima Naomasa had an in-depth understanding of the treaties signed between the Qing Dynasty and Western countries, and he knew clearly what would happen to Nagasaki and even Hizen once these treaties were signed.

Each of these six treaties exceeded his psychological expectations, and none of them was acceptable to him.

Even for the compensation that was barely acceptable, the amount of compensation greatly exceeded Nabeshima Naomasa's psychological expectations.

"These treaties are too harsh, I cannot accept them! Why are you pushing so hard!" Nabeshima Naomasa refused to sign this harsh treaty.

Perry on the side saw this and whispered to Liang Yao: "The treaty can be modified appropriately to facilitate the signing of the treaty."

Perry decided to give it up as soon as possible. His goal was to sign a founding treaty with the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo, and he would accept any benefits he could get from Nagasaki.

Liang Yao's attitude was different from Perry's. He said very forcefully to Nabeshima Naomasa: "It's not up to you whether you accept it or not! When the American army takes over Nagasaki, this treaty will not be what I want to sign with you. You are now No bargaining chips with me!”

The sea breeze blew Nabeshima's thin face, and his hair became a little messy under the sea breeze.

Nabeshima Naozheng stood there helplessly, and then said to Liang Yao after being stunned for a while.

"It's a big trouble. I can't make the final decision on Nagasaki's affairs alone. I need to go back and discuss it with Nagasaki before I can give you an answer."

"I am also an unreasonable person. I will give you six hours to discuss and consider it. It is now six o'clock in the morning. If I don't receive a clear reply from you at twelve o'clock, that is, noon, I will lead my troops to invade Nagasaki. , I will discuss the treaty with you in Nagasaki," Liang Yao took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"Six hours?" Naomasa Nabeshima said in a more choked voice, "Nagasaki is already a piece of cake on your sword. Why are you so impatient? Why are you so aggressive?!"

"I'm very hungry." After saying that, Liang Yao ignored Naomasa Nabeshima and turned to Hu Jinchen and said, "Jinchen, see you off."
