On July 1, 1863, Blue Star, the island nation replied to Shi Dakai: It is too much to bully others, and they would rather die than surrender.
The royal family of the island country deeply felt Shi Dakai's hatred, but they could not understand why Shi Dakai came up and said that he would destroy them even though they had always been on good terms with China.
Blue Star In the early morning of July 16, 1863, Ding Ruchang led three naval divisions of the Pacific Fleet to appear on the coast of the island nation of Kyoto, with the battleship "Guangzhou" at the forefront. The huge cannon barrel was slowly raised and aimed at the island defenders on the city wall.
The island's defenders were ready with spears and swords.
"The distance is 3,000 yards, and the target is within range."
the lookout shouted.
"Attention everyone, reload the shells and prepare to fire!"
Ding Ruchang directed the naval soldiers to operate the turret.
boom! boom! boom!
After Ding Ruchang shouted "fire", fierce artillery fire spurted out from the "Guangzhou", and the shells poured down like a violent storm.
When the shells landed, the entire island nation of Kyoto was shaken by a violent shock wave. Large buildings were shattered by the shells, and dust and rubble flew everywhere.
Explosions and flames instantly occupied the entire city. Buildings collapsed, flames shot into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the Japanese's frightened cries were mixed with the roaring cannons.
This was the first time the Japanese army saw such a big scene, and they didn't even have the courage to pick up a sword and charge towards the fleet.
The fire caused by the shells continued to spread, devouring everything that could burn.
The flames burned raging and black smoke billowed up, shrouding the city in a dark netherworld.
The silhouette of the Pacific Fleet was looming in the firelight, and no one knew which country's fleet it was.
The royal family of the island country was immediately shocked. In the previous "Black Ship Incident", the Free State only brought four warships, but they were unable to resist. Now it turned out to be a group of ironclad ships, which had the risk of destroying the country.
The current strength of the island country is completely unbeatable. What we need to do now is to quickly confirm which country's fleet it is, and then surrender and pay compensation.
Blue Star On the morning of July 16, 1863, the Japanese, who had been yelling "Baga" all night, finally saw the flags on the fleet clearly through the sunlight.
The royal family of the island country was very shocked. They did not expect that China had become so powerful. Last night, they even guessed that it was one of the Mizi Kingdom and the Gaul Kingdom.
That night, the royal family of the island country was frightened out of their wits.
So they wrote letters one after another and rushed them to Beijing 800 miles away.
The content of the letter was probably that they were willing to surrender and pay compensation, that they would agree to any conditions, and that Shi Dakai would be their supreme emperor.
Shi Dakai wrote in his reply: If you don’t vote when I asked you to vote, vote now and carry forward the spirit of Bushido.
Shi Dakai's military order to Ding Ruchang was just one: bomb hard, don't save ammunition, let these feudal empires know the consequences of not surrendering, so that future battles can be fought easily.
This is just a small training for the Pacific Fleet. After all, the weapons and equipment are far different.
Blue Star On the afternoon of July 16, 1863, the Pacific Fleet's ammunition was almost exhausted. An order was sounded and the Chinese army began to land. The Japanese swordsman team relied on their courage and continued to charge.
The Japanese army organized many charges, but each time they could only fall down like wheat and were never able to get close to the Chinese army.
Zhang Yong, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the Chinese Navy, and Zhao He, commander of the 2nd Battalion, carried Mauser in hand, competing to see who could defeat more Japanese.
The two broke away from the camp and went deep into the island country of Kyoto alone.
"Ah He, how many people did you hit?"
"10! Another one!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a bang, and another Japanese soldier holding a big sword fell down in front.
"Old Zhang, it's great to have advanced weapons. No wonder the previous great powers could force the Qing Dynasty to sign unequal treaties."
A Japanese army squad of 10 people suddenly appeared dozens of meters ahead. The swords in their hands were gleaming coldly, and they rushed toward them viciously.
"Grenade, quick!"
boom! The Japanese team didn't even know how to hide, and several people were blown to pieces.
The remaining ones crawling on the ground were shot again.
"Ah He, if you don't work hard during training and are so slow to throw thunder, these 10 people are mine!"
A magical scene happened. The two of them actually saw the emperor running away, accompanied by several guards.
"Ah He, look ahead, there is a big fish, now he can be promoted to brigade commander!"
boom! boom! boom!
"Old Zhang, you've made a fortune, hurry up, this one needs to be captured alive!"
The two of them fought together and quickly harvested the guards around them with Mauser.
The emperor of the island country was so frightened that he fell and was caught on the spot.
In the end, the two of them killed hundreds of Japanese troops and captured an emperor.
Blue Star On the evening of July 16, 1863, the Japanese army did not have much fighting spirit. The strength of the two sides was too disparity, and continuing to fight would be a waste of sacrifice. The Japanese army surrendered one after another.
The emperor was captured and the army suffered heavy casualties. Upon seeing this, the general of the island nation surrendered with soldiers from other regions in order to save his life.
Sure enough, the spirit of Bushido seems so pale and powerless in front of the cannon.
The Pacific Fleet won a great victory in the first battle and collected a bunch of samurai swords because they surrendered here.
In the entire battle, only one soldier who fell into the sea during the landing operation was injured.
At this point, the feudal monarchy of the island country was completely abolished and became a city in China, under the jurisdiction of Liaoning. It began to implement regional autonomy and entered modernization.
