The place where the Kirigakure kid hides his gunpowder is very hidden. There are cargo piles fixed with rope nets that can often be seen on the docks. Inside the four largest cargo piles, there are 100 kilograms of black powder hidden in each.
The Kirigakure kid had carefully calculated that these four gunpowder piles just controlled the core area of the dock. If a battle broke out, this would be the most brutal battlefield. If Xiao Letian wants to command the battle, he must personally enter the dangerous area. If the time comes, he will definitely die if he ignites the pile of gunpowder closest to him.
In the hands of the Kirigakure kid is Japan's secret bolide. Once this grease-soaked firearm is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, and it is very fast and difficult to resist.
"Gunpowder... ambush..." Hyouta and Chinatsu slumped at the street entrance in the distance, shouting with their last strength. Two dangerous Chinese phrases surged back and forth in the mid-air at the pier.
At the critical moment, it still depends on the master of the green forest. Xiang Shaolong knew from the corner of his eye that this bolide was not something he could stop. Master Long made a leap and directly knocked Xiao Letian to the ground.
"Stacking Arhat...protect your lord..." Mr. Long went crazy. He was so frightened that he broke out in white hair as soon as he heard the word gunpowder.
Followed closely by a group of the most loyal guards, they pounced on Xiao Letian one after another, pressing him so hard that he almost died. "Let... let go..." Xiao Letian couldn't even speak.
There is no reason at all on the battlefield, and all people's actions are subconscious. When the people saw these soldiers who were as strong as Mount Tai going to protect Mr. Xiao, they also rushed forward.
"Protect Sir...Protect Mr. Xiao..." The crowd rushed forward like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, a big human ball piled up on the pier. Update as soon as possible
At this moment, the bolide drew a tricky trajectory into the cargo pile, followed by a earth-shattering explosion. The shock wave swept across the entire dock, and everyone within a ten-meter radius of the center of the explosion was thrown out.
The human body at the center of the explosion was flying in the air like a rag doll. The smashed wooden boxes and cargo fragments fell down like rain. The largest Xiaozi recognition flag rolled and flew out, and finally the bamboo pole The tail end was firmly inserted into the seam of the wooden board, and the flag had been blown to pieces.
More than 200 civilians and soldiers around the center of the explosion died on the spot, and more than 300 people were injured by the shock wave. Burning wood chips fell down like fire rain, and the open space at the dock completely turned into a Shura hell.
Fortunately, the four gunpowder burial sites were far enough apart that the explosion did not cause a chain reaction. If all four piles of gunpowder exploded, the more than 2,000 Chinese present would have been wiped out.
The power of the shock wave should not be underestimated. When the explosion occurred, even Kirigakure Imp and Noheita who were far away on the roof lay down to avoid it. When the power of the explosion had just dissipated, the Kirigakure kid jumped up excitedly and produced two more bolides in his hands: "Slaves of the Qing Dynasty, go to hell..."
"You go to hell first, you murderer..." Before the Kirigakure brat could finish speaking, the wind of a knife blew behind her, and Noheita had already rushed forward.
Nohira really couldn't understand how these people could be so cruel, not only provoking a civil war between the Japanese and the Qing people, but even using gunpowder as an ambush. Do they get pleasure from killing people? Nohira's sword was merciless and he went straight to kill the Kirigakure kid's vitals. The cunning woman couldn't resist and had no choice but to run away towards the back mountain.
This violent explosion on the pier shocked all the forces in Naha Port. The first people to be shocked were the foreigners on the sea. When the explosion sounded, all the merchant ships pushed open the gun doors almost subconsciously. The black muzzles were facing the dock, waiting for the captains' orders.
But in the end, these captains still chose neutrality. They watched hundreds of Chinese people being killed and Xiao Letian's flag blown up. Everyone thought that Xiao Letian was dead.
"Stay neutral. We will continue to remain neutral. At present, it seems that the defeat of the Chinese people is certain. Without the guidance of heroes, it is impossible for this group of people like sand to maintain their fighting power..."
Countless merchant ships were communicating with light signals, and all the captains made a neutral decision almost at the same time. At this time, directly north of the merchant ship group, a fleet was quickly approaching the dock in Naha. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Report to the captain, there are Japanese ships in the north. They asked us to make way. They want to land at the dock..." After a while, countless lookouts began to report the latest situation to the captains of each company.
"What? The Japanese dispatched their navy?" At that moment, all the captains were surprised. Although everyone looked down upon the Japanese warships from the medieval era, they knew that although these warships equipped with primitive cannons could not even defeat Western merchant ships, they were a one-sided massacre for civilians.
The sailors who still had a trace of conscience in their hearts clenched their muskets. They seemed to have seen the scene of Japanese-style Kanship cannons firing and massacring Chinese people, and they could also guess that these merchant ship captains would definitely remain neutral. Update as soon as possible
But what everyone expected was that the USS Enterprise suddenly issued a light signal. He actually refused Japan's attempt to shut down the ship on the grounds that the sea conditions were chaotic late at night and it was impossible to avoid.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and with the Enterprise taking the lead, all American merchant ships on the sea made it clear that they refused to give way. The merchant ships of other countries have no idea what the Americans are going crazy about, but out of the common interests of Westerners, they can only follow the American merchant ships to send signals.
At the most critical moment, Xiao Letian's status as a master of Western learning helped him. The American captains were not only interested in the foreign gun trade with Xiao Letian, but they were also very close to Xiao Letian emotionally.
Although the businessmen could not directly provide military support to Xiao Letian, they were still very happy to cause some chaos to the Japanese.
There were bright lights on the Japanese ship, and countless figures were running back and forth. Maybe they didn't expect these foreigners to be so tough and not give them any face. But at this time, the Japanese had just experienced a Shimonoseki incident. They were frightened when they were beaten by foreigners. They really didn't dare to break in if the foreigners didn't give way.
A stalemate is ongoing at sea, and a smaller stalemate is also underway on land.
Just when the flames of the explosion soared into the sky, Yamamoto Kiyoshi looked up to the sky in excitement and howled, "We succeeded... The ambush circle has been successful. All soldiers obeyed the order and went to the streets of Naha to put down the rebellion caused by the Qing people..."
Just after Yamamoto Kiyoshi led the soldiers out of the barracks, they met the Huashan family elders who came in a hurry.
"Yamamoto-kun! Are you going to deal with the Qing people? Do you really think you will win by killing all the Qing people in this city? That's so stupid..." The elder of the Huashan family can tell by looking at the direction in which Yamamoto Kiyo is leading his troops. Guessed his plan.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi said excitedly, "My lord, my plan this time is perfect. The Kirigakure kid has detonated the gunpowder pile on the pier. Xiao Letian is definitely dead now, and even his flag has fallen. The Qing people are leaderless. , they are now a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered..."
"Baga!" Kayama Riyuan rushed forward crazily and opened his bows to him with two big mouths. "We Shimazu family are not murderers. Why should we kill all the Chinese in the city? Who will create wealth for us if we kill them all?" , who should we go to collect taxes from, you fanatical guy, are you going to kill the Shimadzu family?"
Yamamoto Kiyoshi couldn't figure out why he was reprimanded even though he had made such great contributions. First update: This time he was not as obedient as before, he even put his hand on the handle of Tai Dao.
"Elder Huashan, are you questioning my dignity as a warrior?" His tone was as cold as a poisonous snake.
Seeing that the atmosphere was too tense, Takenaka Inoue hurriedly walked to the center of the two of them, "Yamamoto-kun, are you going to rebel? Have you forgotten the kindness that Master Kayama has shown you? To tell you the truth, all your plans are here." Under the control of adults..."
"My Lord has said that your previous strategy was perfect, but there was a problem with the later target. Now our target should be Shuri City, not the Chinese people in the city. As long as we control King Shangtai, then the Qing people will be defeated no matter what. It is the fate of failure..."
"Hahaha..." Yamamoto Kiyoshi suddenly laughed wildly. He pushed Takenaka Inoue away. "King Shoutai? Shuri Castle? Those scared guys, do you still dare to rebel? As long as we kill all the Qing people in the city, these slaves They will just kneel on the ground and lick our toes..."
Yamamoto waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him surrounded him with long spears. "Master Huashan, I apologize to you, but today I must complete my original plan, and nothing will change it..."
At this moment, an Ashigaru quickly ran over and knelt in front of Kaguyama Rigen, "Reporting to your lord, our ship has been activated. They are rushing towards the dock. They are preparing to join the battle..."
"Nani! Yamamoto Kiyoshi, you actually dare to mobilize the navy without permission? Are you still a samurai of the Shimazu family?"
"Of course I am, I always will be, and I know that the pursuit of a samurai is only fighting and victory. What I want is the blood of the enemy. Let your plans go to hell..." After finishing speaking, Yamamoto Kiyoshi strode over, At that moment, the Huashan family elder didn't dare to stop him.
In the end, Kaguyama Rigen did not stop Yamamoto Kiyoshi. He knew that there were too many violent generals like Yamamoto Kiyoshi in Japan. Although such people usually attach great importance to superiority and inferiority, it is precisely because of them. They attach too much importance to superiority and inferiority, so they have an almost religious sense of worship for class.
This group of fanatical warriors even risked their own lives in order to advance their status to a higher level. This may be the sadness shared by lower-class people in a class-solidified society like Japan.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi left, taking with him a thousand Ashigaru who were loyal to him. Their goal was the burning Naha Port. Kaguyama Rigen, with two thousand ashigaru who were loyal to him, aimed at Shuri Castle.
"Warriors who are ignorant of politics, what a terrible thing it would be if Japan's fate finally fell into your hands..." Takenaka Inoue looked at the back of Yamamoto Kiyoshi who was retreating, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
If Xiao Letian could hear Takenaka Inoue's thoughts, he would definitely rush up to shake hands and shout "confidant" twice. Because Japan's national destiny in the previous life was destroyed at the hands of extremely crazy samurai, the so-called Japanese militarism is actually an evolution of the most fanatical samurai.
The ultimate fate of Japan's national destiny is to be kidnapped by violence. They not only kidnap Asia, but also kidnap themselves.
