It's dusk.
In the Osaka port controlled by the shogun, the fire and thick smoke are intertwining with the setting sun on the horizon, as if they want to compare who is more prosperous.
At this time, the huge and prosperous port was burning. Amidst the fire and thick smoke, the dense shadows of boats exploded or broke, moaning and groaning, the firefighters and the port were running and screaming outside the houses burned by the flames. There are countless corpses, broken planks, tilted, broken or overturned ships floating on the sea at the pier, as well as the broken sails that only expose the masts on the sea, but are still stubbornly emitting black smoke. , is enough to explain what exactly happened here.
Yes, half a day ago, the Li family fleet led by two bad little girls arrived outside this port. Then, they met those who were waiting for work after receiving the news and united with the shogunate fleet of the Laishima family fleet. Surrounded and attacked.
At that time, hundreds of large and small ships launched a desperate attack on the Li family fleet from four different directions. It seems that they imagined that the arrogant Li family fleet would be completely buried in Osaka Bay, which only has two exits?
Unfortunately, they still made the wrong calculation...
They overestimated the combat effectiveness of their ships and underestimated the true strength of the Li family's fleet!
Anyway, a little girl, the Grand Admiral, brazenly ordered the fleet to be split into two, and the two teams moved forward in a side-by-side array to attack at full speed, then bombarded the enemy from the outer gun positions, and flexibly turned to cross each other to replace the inner guns as they advanced. After using the tactics of alternating bombardment to deal with it, soon, under the bombardment of a total of 2,480 large and small artillery pieces from the Li family's fleet, the fleet of the Laishima family and the shogunate arrived in less than an hour. Most of them turned into piles of burning driftwood, or simply broke apart and sank into the sea entirely.
And the remaining ones retreated to the port in embarrassment, hoping to get the cover of Osaka Castle's strong fort?
But they soon discovered in despair that under the cover of the Li family fleet's terrifying and extremely long-range and accurate artillery fire, the fort with a far greater range was completely silenced by the Li family fleet before it fired a few rounds. Then, under the retaliatory bombing of the Li family fleet, the port and its vicinity, as well as the merchant ships and civilian ships moored in the port, were gradually shrouded in firelight and gunpowder smoke under the intensive bombardment of artillery fire. The footsteps of the Hizen family.
So, so far, the Li family fleet's mission of annihilating the Laidao family has finally been exceeded!
After the battle, no matter whether it was the armored fleet that came to the island or the shogun's large ships with oars and sails, none of them were intact at this time, at least there was no intact ship left in Osaka Bay. Lossless.
"Annie..."
"We burned down another large port. Isn't it a little bad to do this?"
On the flagship of the super battleship Sho Hitora anchored in Osaka Bay, I looked at the fire and billowing black smoke in the distance, and looked at the explosive shells fired at high angles from time to time by other ships in the fleet towards the city. As well as the bursts of rumbling and explosions coming from the city, Song Yifeng, the second admiral on the side, couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and then wanted to persuade Anne to order a ceasefire or something.
In Song Yifeng's view, it would be enough to completely wipe out the Japanese pirate ships and the fleets that actively attacked them. But it seems a little too cruel to continue bombarding the city now?
"Um……"
(ー`´ー)
"The fleet seems to be a bit too strong..."
(,,•́.•̀,,)
However, Anne did not listen to Song Yifeng's words at all. Instead, she 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 battleships she had built seemed to be a little too strong. They were too good in terms of speed, flexibility, cannon power, range, and rate of fire. So much so that none of the hundreds of large and small sailing ships of the Japanese pirates could rush forward and were directly torn apart 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 shogunate know that we have the ability to completely destroy their coastal cities. Only in this way will they completely surrender!"
"Otherwise, if we eliminate Laidao today, there will be another Laidao or more Laidao pop up in the future!"
"We must work together to defeat them, so that we can protect the peace of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and ensure that no one dares to obstruct the trade routes of our Li family fleet!"
At this time, before Annie could speak, the fierce-looking old captain on the side directly objected.
If he had made the decision here instead of the two little girl admirals who were dawdling in front of him, he would have ordered Osaka to be turned into a sea of fire, and he would have bombarded and weakened the shogunate's coastal cities and ports as much as possible, greatly weakening them. The power and authority of the new shogunate then in turn supported the Hizen family, causing the master-slave power imbalance in the Japanese country, and then plunged it into a century-old war again.
Only in that way, a chaotic and relatively backward Japanese country is best for the Ming Dynasty and the Li family!
But it's a pity that he doesn't have the final say here. For some things, he has to ask the two admirals in front of him for their approval, especially the noble Admiral Anne. After all, he is only the captain of the flagship at the moment. They can only make suggestions from the side, and directly amplify and over-execute the orders after receiving them.
"..."
"Annie, what are you going to do?"
Song Yifeng obviously couldn't defeat the fierce captain, so she had no choice but to turn her head and ask the Admiral, the little girl who was lying on the edge of the boat and looking at the fire and smoke in the distance with boredom, Want the other person to make a decision.
"Hey~!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
"What else can we do? After all the fighting, the fleet that came to the Dao family was also defeated. We must make them surrender. Otherwise, what if they don't let the Li family's caravan come to do business in the future?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"It's better to persuade them to surrender quickly. Just like the bench port before, they will obediently provide us with supplies and compensation. Then we should almost go back. When the time comes, we will find a way to let the ten ships in the Tamsui City base Get moving too, we should go to Nanyang to play with Sister Li Huamei and the others."
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
Annie gets a headache when she thinks about the freshwater fortress city she built on Xiaoliuqiu Island, because she still doesn't know where to get the population. She can't always use spells to create people by herself. It affects the balance of the 'game' too much.
Of course, it seems that the balance has been affected a little bit now. With just ten ships, almost all the navy of another country was destroyed. Is it really too powerful?
"do not care!"
o(*｀ー´)o
"You, Big Beard, go and make them surrender, otherwise, we will continue to fire and burn their cities!"
↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Anne was a little impatient. She just wanted to end the boring game here quickly, and then deal with the manpower problem of the other fleet parked in the fortress, and then go straight to Nanyang with great force, so that the people who are probably still there now Does the real Li family fleet there, led by that scoundrel elder sister Li Huamei, know how powerful her Admiral Anne is?
More than half a month has passed now, and it will probably take a while to wait until we get back. It will probably be a month before we officially set sail for Nanyang. With this coming and going, God knows, Sister Li Huamei and the others Where will he go by then?
"!!"
"Yes! I obey!!"
After receiving the order from the great admiral, the ferocious bearded captain was first shaken, and then he loudly agreed before turning and looking at the first mate next to him.
"Send the order!"
"Stop the bombardment first, find a few prisoners, and ask them to send a message to the shogunate on the shore, asking them to surrender unconditionally before noon tomorrow, otherwise, none of their coastal cities will be able to survive!"
The ferocious bearded captain gave the order to the officer, and after watching the other officer salute and leave without saying a word, he grinned with satisfaction.
"Admiral!"
"Excuse me, do you have any other orders?"
The ferocious bearded captain turned around again and flattered their little girl, the great admiral, in a low voice.
"there is none left!"
(′～`●)
"It's getting dark, so I'll leave this place to you, as well as tomorrow's negotiations and so on. Don't come and make any noise until I wake up!"
٩(๑´0`๑)۶Ahh~!
Annie was a little sleepy. She didn't even get a nap today and kept firing away. But now she was fine and finally stopped for the time being. So, she was 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 island didn't seem to be difficult to deal with, and they were wiped out in less than half a month. But that idiot sister Li Huamei had been fighting for many years and couldn't win. It was really bad.
"yes!"
"Yes!!"
He stood at attention and saluted with his fists clasped on his chest. It wasn't until the small figure disappeared along the spiral staircase into the door of the captain's cabin on the deck below that the ferocious bearded captain looked at the second officer who was looking unbearably towards the port. Admiral Song Yifeng.
"Miss Song..."
"This is war! And war kills people!"
"If you don't want this to happen in Ming Dynasty or in Seoul, your country, you'd better take the opportunity to beat the Japanese even harder now!"
The fierce bearded captain would not tell Song Yifeng: If he could make the decision, he would not issue an ultimatum to the shore so quickly to persuade him to surrender. He would first circle around the coastline of the Japanese country and move all important ports, towns, and shipbuilding The factory and ships were destroyed, and only after the other party fully understood the gap between the two parties would they accept conditions such as peace talks and compensation.
As for ports and trading ports, it is enough to leave one agent of the Hizen family. As for everything else, destroy them all!
"I……"
"I originally just wanted to do business with Sister Li and travel around the world. I didn't want to fight everywhere."
"and!"
"Annie and I came here just to fight against the Japanese pirates who came to the island. We don't have to destroy their port. This is the second one that has been burned, and it seems that it was burned more severely than Nagasaki before..."
Song Yifeng still felt a little sorry. After all, she was just a little Taoist nun who had just come down the mountain.
"What's the difference between us doing this now and the Japanese pirates?"
Sighing, Song Yifeng lay down on the edge of the boat, staring blankly at the pieces of wood and debris from the ships floating on the sea from a distance.
From the beginning, they just wanted to fight against the Japanese pirates coming to the island. But now that the fleet that came to the island has been completely destroyed, they should leave here after completing their mission and follow Sister Li and the others to travel around the world and do business. If they weren't still stranded here and forced the Japanese on the shore to surrender, that kind of thing was indeed not what they wanted to do in the first place.
"ha!"
Looking at the setting sun on the horizon that had gradually submerged below the sea level, and then at the red port here and the equally red sky in the distance, the bearded captain didn't say anything more, but just laughed 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 take care of the things here!"
Fortunately, Second Admiral Song Yifeng is not in charge of the fleet. Therefore, the bearded captain feels that there are some things that he can secretly operate with the authorization of the Admiral, such as tomorrow's negotiations?
He believed that those Japanese would definitely send envoys just like the Hizen family. Of course, if the other party did not surrender, that would be the best. He could just follow the order of their chief admiral and continue to bombard the distant enemy. City until it is completely burned to the ground?
"All right!"
"Then I'll go back and rest. Uncle Li, you should also take a rest early..."
Smoothing her mouth, Song Yifeng saw that she seemed to be unable to convince the other party, so she turned around angrily and walked along the spiral staircase that little Annie had just left, towards the deck below.
…
The Li family fleet stayed here in Osaka Bay for three full days, and then in the afternoon three days later, it finally lifted anchor and sail, and slowly sailed toward the southern exit into the open sea.
"Set off!"
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
"Go back to Hangzhou! Go back to Tamsui! Then go to Nanyang to play with Sister Li Huamei and the others!!"
✧*. ٩(◝◡◜ˋ)و✧*.
After being delayed here for three days, it was rare. After seeing that the fleet was finally replenished and seeing those Japanese people busy using various large and small ships to carry various supplies for each ship for three days, I was already tired of waiting. The patient little Annie finally waited for the moment for the fleet to set sail, so she couldn't help but cheer loudly from the command platform of the flagship.
She didn't know what the ferocious bearded captain was talking to the Japanese on the shore, and the shogun's envoys, and she didn't ask, but she saw it anyway, and their fleet seemed to have received a lot of threats. Gold, silver, goods and other materials?
Maybe like the previous city called Bench, Big Beard also signed certain contracts with the big names here and extorted a lot of compensation, right?
But that kind of thing is not what Anne cares about. She only knows that now that the Japanese pirates are over, they have to go back.
At that time, half of the manpower may 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, and they will be at the latest in and One and a half months after Sister Li Huamei's separation, they should be able to successfully arrive in Southeast Asia, that is, the legendary prosperous area of Nanyang with many ports and many Franchise merchant ships.
