Chapter 917 Nazhijin Incident
"Fight first and then get along?"
The warriors exclaimed in unison.
Yamada Nobunaga picked up the tea on the low table and took a sip, experiencing the elegant fragrance of the tea. After a long time, he explained: "If you don't fight, you will seek peace. Other daimyos will definitely be questioned as cowardly, but if you fight, you will lose. They have nothing to say. At this time, they can see clearly the huge gap in strength between Japan and the Great Yu Kingdom. Of course, if you win, you don't have to worry."
After pausing, he continued, "As for seeking peace, it is a strategy to lie down on firewood and taste gall. The navy of the Great Yu Kingdom is too large, and our warships are no match for it at all. The land we grow is surrounded by sea. If we cannot trade with foreign countries, it will never be able to develop. What's more, there were Dutch people first, then British people, and now there are Dayu Kingdom. This shows that we have been left behind by them in our weapons. If we don't want to make progress, the future results will be like Goryeo. It is worth it if we can exchange temporary humiliation for the Great Yu Kingdom to give great efforts to the Great Yu Kingdom in industry. After all, we paid tribute to the Great Yu Kingdom every year decades ago."
"Daming, I'm afraid that the purpose of the Dayu Kingdom this time is to annex us, unlike the previous punishment. Since the prince named Xiao Ming became emperor, the Dayu Kingdom has still changed its appearance." A warrior about thirty said worriedly.
Yamada Nobunaga looked at the talking samurai. This was the samurai he trusted the most, named Hideyoshi Sato. He was very flexible and had a keen sense of conspiracy and tricks.
It is with his assistance that he has today's status. Moreover, Sato Hideyoshi is from the Sato family and is the eldest son of Sato Daimyo in China.
"So this time we have to show our belief that we are determined to be together with the Great Chongqing Kingdom. Unlike Goryeo, our firearms and population are several times that of Goryeo. It is not that easy to completely conquer us!" Yamada Nobunaga said sternly.
"Yes!" The warriors lowered their heads in unison.
...
After a small gathering with Ye Qingyun, Yue Yun did not stay in Huajie Liuxiang in Busan City, but returned to his flagship, where he had his own lounge in the battleship.
After scanning the map, Yue Yun's gaze focused on Natsutsu Bay, which would be their first step to attack Japan.
The next morning, he ordered the warship to move towards Natsujin. The 400-mile sea distance was only one day for the warship.
At the same time, Yamada Nobunaga was also mobilizing the remaining Japanese warships. In fact, in order to retain the remaining 200 warships over the past few days, he ordered all the Anzai ships to enter the inland river to hide, and to install artillery to deal with the Great Yu Kingdom.
Now that the news of the full-scale attack of the Dayu Navy is confirmed, he can only fight to the forefront according to his plan, and work hard to reach his current position. He does not want to be dared to be so dared by other famous people.
In addition to Anzhai Ship, he also mobilized 80,000 musketeers, 200 iron cannons, and 8,000 cavalry. Like the Battle of Goryeo, he still recruited soldiers from various famous ones this time, which was also in line with his purpose.
In the tense atmosphere, Yue Yun's fleet arrived at Natsujin Bay at dusk that night. He looked at the empty pier and showed an inexplicable smile.
Like countless fleet patrols, whenever they arrived at the periphery of Nanozin, it was empty, and he knew very well that there were Japanese boats cruising in the nearby waters.
These ships are small in size and fast in speed. They cannot catch up with sail warships at all. They can only catch up with steamships. There are no less than ten Japanese boats that were sunk by them along the way.
But they cannot keep chasing these Japanese pirates who pretend to be fishermen and continue to fight. After all, attacking Nazhijin was their purpose.
As the saying goes, if you can run away, the monk can’t run away, the merchant ships at Notsuki Pier are gone, but the pier is there, and Notsuki City is there too.
"General, do you want to enter the inland river?" Liu Chen asked, Nazhijin was built by an inland river, and the inland river could directly bombard Nazhijin City.
"You can't take this risk. As soon as the Japanese warships may be hidden in the inland river, the river surface is narrow, and the Japanese artillery can shoot directly at the river surface, which will be troublesome at that time."
Before coming, Yue Yun had already made a plan, "War is no longer the way of fighting. Now the ultimate thing is to land. You will lead the soldiers to build a position immediately."
After saying that, he picked up his telescope and looked at the dock. At this time, many Japanese soldiers had arrived on the dock. Some of these Japanese soldiers were holding meshes, some with flintlock guns, and even several artillery that imitated the appearance of the Golden Horde.
"Arson ready!"
Yue Yun said lightly that the army's tactics are changing, and the navy's tactics are also changing. Since the installation of the flowering bullets, the navy has now had the ability to saturate the land.
After all, there are hundreds of artillery on a warship, and even on one side there are about fifty artillery numbers. More than twenty warships come down and thousands of artillery are fired at the same time.
However, such a high-density shelling can only be described as luxury. However, Yue Yun did not feel sorry for the shells at all today, because for him, he would definitely find someone to pay for the shells.
Despite his hatred in his heart, he still did not forget his true responsibilities.
"Send individuals to send the treaty to the limit, and they will give a reply within two days, otherwise we will start a full war!" Everything is ready, and Yue Yun handed over a long-prepared treaty document to the adjutant on the flagship.
After a while, a small boat was put down. The soldiers with the documents and treaties went down to the boat and rowed towards the dock. When they arrived at the dock, the soldiers handed the treaty to the Japanese generals.
However, the Japanese general took a look and threw the treaty to the soldiers, and drew his sword to threaten the soldiers who were delivering the letter. As a last resort, the soldiers had to row back.
"General, what did you write about making the Japanese generals so angry?" Liu Chen said with interest.
"It's very simple. Let Japan admit defeat, cede land and pay compensation, give the Great Yu Kingdom the most favorable country, and compensate the war costs for 40 million taels of silver. Of course, this is just about it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chen smiled helplessly. This was exactly the same as the Goryeo treaty.
"No wonder he was so angry." Liu Chen curled his lips.
"They have been given the opportunity. Since that's the case, I can only fight." Yue Yun said excitedly. This treaty is indeed unequal, but Japan has never talked about equality with the Great Yu Kingdom. Now that Japan's uncompromising situation is his desire.
And this is what the emperor means. For island countries like Japan, they must have the ability to attack their homeland in order to curb them.
So, after pondering for a moment, he finally shouted: "Fire!"
