Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

While Junji Omura was immersed in the majestic scale of the Mansho battleship, the sailors on the ship were already skillfully operating several sails and sailing towards the shore in the direction of the wind.

At the same time, the originally dark, thunderous clouds had also swept into the distance.

Soon after, a red sun appeared above everyone's heads again.

As the naval fleet gradually approached the coast, countless people on the shore exclaimed in unison.

Is this a sea monster? It’s so huge!

Amidst the exclamations of the people, a small sampan swayed out of Kobe Port and headed towards the naval fleet.

In front of the Wansheng, this small sampan is simply a dwarf-like existence, just like the Japanese dwarf of this era. A random wave of the Wansheng may overturn it.

Standing on the deck, Qin Hao, Duan Daxin, Zhang Hu, and even the sailors looked at the approaching ship with amusement in their eyes.

As the ship approached, Qin Hao could even clearly see the shocked expressions of the Japanese losers.

Great God Yamata! How could there be such a terrifying ship in the world!

This is definitely not domestic!

Of course not. What samurai masters are willing to spend money to build such a big ship? All their money is spent on the kabuki belly of the izakaya.

Many people exclaimed at the magnificence of the battleship in front of them, and many people were frightened.

If you fight the people above, you probably won't win.

How is it possible? The person next to me was dismissive. What do you think about fighting such a warship? Even if the samurai master is willing to marry off his daughter, no one is willing to die.

Did you see the black muzzles protruding from the ship?

hiss!

"Shut up and step aside!"

Just as the soldiers wearing ashigaru costumes, hats on their heads, and holding bamboo spears gathered together to discuss, a military officer wearing dark red armor came out of the cabin and yelled at these ashigaru people. One sentence.

After seeing the military commander coming out, the ashigaru stepped aside one after another to make way for him to walk.

The general walked to the front of the board, his eyes wandering around, carefully looking at the sea monster in front of him.

As an epoch-making product, the Wansheng was assembled by the most powerful warship casting team in Keelung. Led by Li Chun, hundreds of craftsmen worked meticulously to build it for half a year.

Although it is a first-class battleship like the Bloodthirsty Wolf, the tonnage of the Wansheng is twice that, a total of 1,000 tons, and the number of naval guns is three times more, with a maximum limit of 150 guns of various types, leading More than a hundred years ago.

The whole body of the Wansheng is covered with blue steel. As armor, it is basically impossible for solid bullets within ten pounders to penetrate it.

Under the dazzling sunlight, Qinggang looks dark, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a black ship.

After scanning for a long time, the Japanese military general seemed to feel the soreness of his eyeballs. Apart from the power and grandeur, he could not see anything else with all his gaze.

After a while, under Chen Hu's supervision, the Japanese general boarded the deck with several of his men.

When the person walked up to him, Duan Daxin naturally glanced at Junji Omura.

Omura Junji is extremely sensible. Now he has regarded this group of saviors as his masters, and he naturally welcomes them.

However, he was still very respectful to his former master and bowed down with a smile on his face before speaking.

"Respect, Sir Samurai, this is the general from Keelung. He is going to Kyoto to meet with the Cabinet to discuss important matters."

Omura Junji fluently repeated the words taught by Duan Daxin.

The Japanese military general did not speak, but frowned. He was very angry at the fisherman in front of him who did not kowtow to him. If he had followed the past, he would have died by now. If it were not for the sake of the visitor, how could he talk to him? Got to talk.

"Keelung? General?!"

The military commander Ueda Shinji obviously did not get the key point, but instead became suspicious of Qin Haode's identity.

"I'm the commander of Kobe Port, Ueda Shinji. I've met a few of them."

Although he was very confused, Ueda Shinji still came over, clasped his fists and saluted, and said his name in a very polite manner.

"Yeah!" Qin Hao responded softly without saying anything else.

A little Japanese samurai is not qualified to communicate with him.

Therefore, this matter was handed over to Omura Junji, a local rat.

"Sir Samurai, we need a berth in the port to dock the ship, and we need to trouble Sir Samurai to issue a certificate to allow us to disembark."

"Excuse me for my presumption. The fleet of several people has caused a little panic to the people on the shore. So I can't provide a berth. Moreover, there are no ships large enough in Kobe Port to dock such a large ship. I hope you can forgive me. "

Ueda Shinji's face was gloomy, which made Omura Junji feel frightened. Didn't this samurai know the power of Admiral Keelung's fleet?

Moreover, as a fisherman, Omura Junji knew that Kobe Port could berth ships like the one at his feet, and even a dozen more ships would not be a problem. This was proof of his vicious vision as a maritime fisherman.

Omura Junji kept winking, hoping that the samurai would change his mind, but what he received in response was Ueda Shinji's disdainful eyes, and he ignored his reminder.

At this time, Zhang Hu suddenly said: "Damn you, those people on the shore are timid and have never seen the world, and it's not like we are trying to scare them. We just want to go ashore, and we don't have any ill intentions. If we really have any ill intentions, Do you think you can resist it?"

Zhang Hu's words were already very polite. You must know that he had directly killed two Japanese businessmen who were talking shamelessly in Ryukyu.

However, what he said was true.

Because if Qin Hao really had malicious intentions, then Kobe would have been a scene of fire, and no humans or animals would be left.

"Hey, you should say something!"

Chen Hu pulled out a sharp waist knife and pointed at Shinji Ueda's nose.

Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers quickly picked up their bamboo spears for defense.

In an instant, there was chaos on the deck, and there was a strong rhythm of starting a war if there was a disagreement.

Ueda Shinji was already sweating profusely. He was in a dilemma at this time. From his heart, he did not want to see such a thing happen.

However, Master Feng Zhi on the shore repeatedly told him not to let this fleet enter the port, so what could he do.

He is just a little warrior and cannot decide at all.

Damn old man Sugimoto, I really don’t know what he thinks.

If you have to send a message yourself, it's impossible for such a powerful fleet to withstand it.

Could it be that his brain was burned out from doing too much kabuki?

Ueda Shinji made a malicious guess.

However, he did not dare to disobey the decision of his immediate superior, and his originally gloomy face suddenly showed a smile, with a look of flattery on his face.

"I'm sorry, my lords, the ships are not allowed to disembark. It is the port of Kobe that follows your lord's orders. As a samurai, I can only convey his words in accordance with the order."

After saying that, Ueda Shinji immediately knelt on the ground and prayed silently.

"In that case, bring some money ashore and see if it can be convenient."

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Qin Hao finally couldn't help but speak.

Ask Duan Daxin to take out a box of silver coins from the cabin and give it to Ueda Shinji to take back.

"I will definitely report and follow the requests of the adults."

Ueda Shinji was also unambiguous. He took the silver coins and his men and took his small sampan to the port.

"Lord, if you let me lead the troops on a small Japanese port, we will capture it in no time!"

Zhang Hu was as reckless as ever and didn't care about the small Japanese port at all.

"Be calm and don't be impatient." Qin Hao advised, "See first before speaking. It's rude to not return when you come back!"

Although Qin Hao has plans to capture the entire Japan, if the other party does not give him an excuse, he will not be able to lick his face and use weapons skillfully.

Napoleon said: All wars must have reasonable reasons to appear just. No matter how dirty they are in private, they can be forgiven by the people.

And what Qin Hao wants to do is this, now he just needs to wait.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Ueda Shinji came back with his men. He looked at Qin Hao with a look of shame, completely unaware of the budding smile on his face.

"Sir, Master Fengxing said that you have to pay three times more silver to pass the test!"

After saying that, Ueda Shinji's face flushed red, and he lowered his head that was still proud before like a child who had done something wrong.

Just before landing, Shinji Tian handed the box to Sugimoto Ichiro, and also told Qin Hao and others about their request to enter the port.

At first Ichiro Sugimoto agreed wholeheartedly, but the moment he opened the box, the entire cabinet was filled with silver light, totaling three hundred silver dollars. Sugimoto couldn't restrain his trembling hands, took out a silver dollar, touched it again, and touched it again. My dear, I fell into endless enjoyment.

Although Shinji Ueda was greedy for the silver coins in the box, as a samurai he still kept his promise and mentioned the request to enter the port again.

Ichiro Sugimoto, who had been promising at first, looked at the silver dollars in front of him, and his attitude suddenly changed. He asked Shenji to go back and ask Qin Hao for three times the silver dollars before he was allowed to enter the port.

Shenji felt quite helpless to have such a boss.

The clay figurine is quite angry, let alone the sailors of the navy fleet who kill without batting an eyelid.

After hearing Kobe's request, the ship was filled with anger.

"Come in and kill that fool."

"That is, let them taste the power of naval guns."

"You dare to ask for money, you don't know whether to live or die!"

The crowd was furious for a while, and many sailors had already taken out their flintlock guns and prepared to fight.

"Kobe Port Executive Officer Sugimoto Ichiro, this guy is cowardly and greedy for money. He probably wants to get some money from you, so that's why he asked this samurai to come and embarrass you."

I am quite familiar with Junji Omura, who lives in a fishing village near Kobe.

His greed is obvious to all the people of Kobe. Every time the fishermen catch fish and come to the city to sell it, they will be taxed by the men sent by the Lord, and they are taxed heavily.

The price was unacceptably high, almost cutting off their source of livelihood, and they would be beaten if they didn't pay. Omura Junji had suffered losses several times.

Hearing this, Qin Hao sneered.

I really can't believe that Japan, which has just entered the peaceful era, still has such greedy borers.

And it’s also a wonderful flower!

If ordinary officials saw their own fleet, they would never have such greedy thoughts.

But this Sugimoto is a loyal person who is not afraid to stop him, and he doesn't know whether he is loyal to his duty or just out of his mind.

"This guy still wants money? I remember you brought a lot back not long ago, and he's still not satisfied?"

Qin Hao looked at Ueda Shinji with a half-smile.

Ueda Shinji felt the coldness of the young general in front of him, and immediately leaned down and whispered to Qin Hao: "Ichiro Sugimoto, the official of Kobe Port, was originally just an old man in a rice shop, doing menial work all day long, but He actually gave birth to a character's daughter and married Tokugawa Mitsunari. This Tokugawa Mitsunari was the concubine of the current shogun, so this guy also followed the rising tide.

According to what the Ming Dynasty said, he was a relative, and the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave could have such benefits, so naturally he became more and more arrogant and domineering. "

After listening to this explanation, Qin Hao completely understood.

No wonder, this is a relative who wants to bully foreigners because he is a local snake.

"This Sugimoto Ichiro is indeed as people say, greedy and vicious. No matter which merchant comes to Kobe, he will rely on his connections to collect money, without exception." Ueda Shinji continued.

When Qin Hao heard this, he raised his right hand and bumped it twice under his chin.

"Maritime merchants are maritime merchants. They can send money to this guy because they lack the ability, so they dare not offend this Sugimoto. Strong dragons are no more than local snakes, but it is not easy for me to do this." Then Qin Hao pointed to his nose. "Besides, do you think I am an ordinary maritime merchant?"

Ueda Shinji smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

He saw that the group of people in front of him were really not maritime merchants. From a distance, there were at least five warships, all of which were strong and powerful. The sailors on the ship also had murderous looks on their faces. Those who had never killed anyone would not be like this. The temperament basically eliminates the possibility of being a maritime trader. Fang seems to be a group of sea robbers, and he is still the most rampant group.

Ichiro Sugimoto is really used to being reckless. He doesn't even go out to see what kind of ship it is. He just collects money like this. This time he is going to get into big trouble.

Ueda Shinji was secretly happy!

Qin Hao raised his hand and said: "Go back and tell Sugimoto to prepare a berth for me immediately. If he doesn't agree to my request after an hourglass, then I don't mind bombarding Kobe!"

As soon as Qin Hao said these words, both Ueda Shinji and Omura Junji's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

What!

Bombing Kobe?

This trouble was too big. Just as Ueda Shinji was about to step forward to dissuade him, Zhang Hu held him up and threw him onto his small sampan.

"Go back quickly and tell that fool that he is dead this time!"

Zhang Hu smiled ferociously. He had long been unhappy with this group of Japanese. Now that his lord has given the order, he is extremely happy.

After staring at Zhang Hu with great shock and as if he were a madman for a while, Ueda Shinji left in a hurry.

Looking at Ueda Shinji's leaving figure, Qin Hao sneered: "Sign up the flag and tell each warship to prepare an hourglass time, and then follow the order to fire at Kobe Port!"
