Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"What do you think is a bad name for the shogun of this generation? If you insist on calling him Iemitsu, you will lose all your family business."

Zheng Cai stood on the platform in front of the command room on the Jiangbei, the flagship of the Admiral of the Eastern Navy, looking at the Edo Castle in the distance, half-smiling and half-spitting.

Regarding the reaction of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Toyo Navy has already made various speculations and prepared corresponding plans.

Li Xiangen saw that the Tokugawa shogunate was going to delay the time, and decisively stated that they would fight a battle. It was not a matter of arbitrariness, but authorized by the senior officials of the Toyo Navy.

Afterwards, he used the walkie-talkie to report to Zheng Cai and others.

After deduction beforehand, Zheng Cai, Yan Yingyuan and others felt that if Japan would accept a series of terms proposed by Ming Dynasty, it would be inevitable to attack Edo, so they had already made preparations for war.

Zheng Cai and Yan Yingyuan returned to the command room, sat down and said: "The fight will start in an hour, how far will this battle go, and how many people have a charter?"

There are four civilian officials of the military system in the command room.

They are Lu Ruoteng, the capital supervisor of the Dongyang Navy (an upgraded version of the military supervisor, not a eunuch position), and Gu Chaojian, the capital supervisor (deputy supervisor of the army).

And Dongyang Navy Dushen (Chief of Staff) Ye Yiyun, Dusan Tongzhi (Deputy Chief of Staff) Huang Xigun.

So Matsudaira Nobuzuna, who was in charge of commanding the battle, assembled [-] shogunate troops, divided into six major divisions, and prepared to block the landing of the Ming army at the Edo Wharf.

Ye Yiyun's proposal was made after discussing with the three town staff below, and it fits the purpose of Dongyang Navy's trip very well.

Seeing that neither Gu Chaojian nor Huang Xigun raised any objections, Zheng Cai said, "In that case, let's arrange the landing battle according to this strategy."

If the shogunate resisted tenaciously, we would instead increase our combat intensity and try to break through Edo in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we subdue Japan. "

The Ming army directly used the Matsue ship plus nine iron-clad cruisers as the forerunner, and approached the Edo wharf.

···
On the other hand, several high-ranking shogunate officials no longer have to argue about whether to fight or not.

But he was still not optimistic about this battle, so he said: "If we don't evacuate Edo, if we lose this time, we will have no way out!"

If the Chongzhen Dynasty continued, this monarch should have been a governor-level official in Xinjiang, and his qualifications were sufficient.He is also familiar with the affairs of the navy because he has worked in Ningbo Xunhai Road for many years.

Some small early boats and speedboats of the shogunate navy, either loaded with sulfur and dry firewood, or loaded with dozens or hundreds of warriors, braved artillery fire and rushed towards the Ming army warships.

Under the command of the commander, all kinds of artillery on the ten battleships launched a fierce bombardment on the forts, fortresses, and even the forts on the shore within the range.

There is also a certain threat to Western cruisers and other light sailing warships and various wooden gunboats.

However, the Japanese army was influenced by samurai culture, and there were indeed many brave and fearless soldiers.

Zheng Cai looked at Yan Yingyuan again, "Does Hu Heng have any objections?"

In preparation for the battle, an hour passed quickly.

As a result, these Japanese samurai found sadly that their matchlock guns could not effectively kill the Ming army on the smallest cruiser.

After this arrangement, Matsudaira Nobutsuna felt that the chances of winning were not small.

A leading military officer yelled, picked up an archery gun on the ship, and shot a thick rocket into it.

The island-based fort controlled by the shogunate, as well as the fort on the shore, fired their cannons chaotically, trying to prevent the ironclad ship from approaching.

Most of them failed to get close, so the artillery on the Ming army's warships destroyed them.

Lu Ruoteng is the head of the internal affairs of the Dongyang Navy, and the Dujian is also a civil servant of the third rank, which is equivalent to the "big border official" in the military's civil service system, so Zheng Cai attaches great importance to his opinion.

These cannons are mainly Francophones, there are only a few Hongyi cannons, and none of the Hongyi cannons.

The Ming army was going to attack Edo, and it was impossible for them to flee without a fight.

Ye Yiyun is a native of Xiamen, Fujian Province. He was a Jinshi in Chongzhen for 13 years and served as a magistrate in the late Chongzhen period.

Therefore, when Sakai Tadakatsu proposed to take Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Ietsuna (Iemitsu's son) and important officials of the shogunate to evacuate Edo, Matsudaira Nobutsuna resolutely opposed it.

"Be loyal to the general!"

Lu Ruoteng looks dark, thin but not tall, if he doesn't have some refined temperament, he is no different from the old fishermen along the coast of Daming.

The Japanese warships approaching behind saw that the fire attack was not effective, and the muskets, bows and arrows could not effectively kill the Ming army on the ironclad ship, so they resorted to follow-up measures.

Among them, [-] troops arrived in the past day or so. They are all part of the "Banner Eighty Thousand Banners" of the Tokugawa Shogunate and belong to the current Japanese front-line army.

"How can the boss build up other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna frowned. If he was in front of the army, he might have killed Sakai Tadakatsu. There are [-] troops deployed in the area, and there are forts and fortresses to rely on.

What's more, this time the warships of the Ming army didn't just get beaten and didn't fight back.

What's more, the general is seriously ill and in danger, so he can't stand the bumps at all.If something happens to the general because of this, could the boss be responsible?
Finally, if the samurai know that you have withdrawn from Edo, how can they still have the will to fight?How is this different from fighting or fleeing? "

Lu Ruoteng was born in 1598 in Tong'an, Fujian Province. He was a Jinshi in the 13th year of the Chongzhen Dynasty. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was appointed to patrol the sea in Ningbo. In the Hongguang Dynasty, he was awarded the governor of Fengyang. Because he was dissatisfied with Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue's control of the government, he did not take up the post.

In addition, in order to increase his own firepower, Nobuzuna Matsudaira also had people pull down the smaller-caliber red cannons at the first eight gates of Edo Castle.

Yan Yingyuan said: "I have the same idea as the capital supervisor, and try to avoid attacking the city. It's not that our army is powerless to attack the city, but that if we get to the point of attacking the city, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to post-war negotiations."

However, the main reason why Auntie Zhu appointed him as the capital supervisor of the Eastern Navy was because this king firmly resisted the Qing Dynasty in later generations. He first supervised the Northern Expedition in the Longwu Dynasty, and then advised Ming Zheng until he died of illness in Penghu.

Although I dare not say that the Ming army was defeated in the first battle, but to prevent them from landing, the chances of winning are great! "

After all, Japan is not a small country. Although the Toyo Navy has more than 3 soldiers, it is impossible to destroy its country in one battle.

As the shells fell one after another, the Japanese forts became dumb one by one.

He stroked his beard and said, "It's better to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop during the landing battle, and try to avoid the step of attacking the city."

After hearing this, Zheng Cai still didn't make up her mind, but asked, "What does Supervisor Lu think?"

But because of the large number, dozens of them rushed to the vicinity of the ironclad ship after all.

What's more, they shoulder the will of the court, so naturally they must focus on completing the task.

What Matsudaira Nobutsuna said made some sense, among which Tadakatsu Sakai really couldn't bear the responsibility.

Even if the ships loaded with sulfur and dry firewood were ignited, they would not be able to play the role of fire attack due to the large difference in size between each other and the fact that the warships of the Ming army were wrapped with steel plates.

But to deal with Ming's iron-clad warships, or steel-clad warships, it's not very good.

The artillery used in Edo for coastal defense is more than enough to deal with wooden sailing warships such as the Ataka boat (similar to the building boat), Guan boat, and Kohaya boat that are common in Japanese naval battles.

"In less than half an hour, even if you evacuate, where can you evacuate?

Seeing that Matsudaira Nobutsuna is so stubborn, and now that the army has fallen into his hands again, Sakai Tadakatsu can only sigh and return to the city, ready to make preparations—if the Ming army breaks through Edo, he will at least send Takechiyo out .

Therefore, if the shogunate army is easily defeated, or even defeated by World War I, we don't have to seek to break through Edo, and we can give the shogunate another chance to negotiate.

Hearing this, Dushen Ye Yiyun said: "We attacked Edo mainly to get the Tokugawa shogunate to agree to sign an agreement, not to capture Edo.

Fortunately, more than a day has passed since yesterday and today, and the people outside Edo City either entered the city or moved to other places, which made the shogunate army no longer need to worry about the people.

In the Zhaowu Dynasty, he was selected to be trained as a staff officer in the Military Academy system because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and because he knew a lot about naval warfare, he was appointed as the staff officer of the new army of the Zhejiang Navy. Dongyang Navy served as the capital.

Seeing this, the rest of the warriors picked up the remaining archery guns and imitated them one after another, which seemed to really confuse the Ming army on the ironclad ship.

Immediately, the military officer took out the hook and threw it onto the side of the armored cruiser, ready to board the ship for close combat.

Seeing that the military officer's operations are smooth and smooth, it seems that he will be able to board the Ming warship immediately, and the rest of the warriors cheered and followed suit.

However, these talents climbed halfway, and a large row of flintlock guns protruded from the side of the ship.

With a series of crackling sounds, more than a dozen Japanese samurai who climbed the rope were shot and fell into the sea one after another...
First more.
