On the eighth day of August in the seventh year of the Taiping Period in the Ming Dynasty, on the outskirts of Nagasaki City, Japan, there is a fortress called Hattendake.
Shimazu Qi Liang was standing on the commanding heights of the Hattengatake Fortress at this time, holding a telescope and looking with despair at the chrysanthemum flag fluttering in the wind on the top of Mount Hidake opposite...
The chrysanthemum pattern is the family crest of the Japanese imperial family. The chrysanthemum flag cannot be used by just anyone. It can only be used with the support and approval of His Majesty the Emperor and is granted by the Emperor's decree.
Because the emperor is the nominal supreme ruler of Japan and the so-called descendant of God, having the emperor's support undoubtedly has the highest righteousness.
Of course, the rightful name of Japan belongs not only to the imperial family, but also to the shogun family who are the pillars of the samurai family. Although the power of the shogunate family is no longer at its peak, it is still much stronger than the imperial family. Therefore, the emperor's righteousness is not more valuable than the shogun's righteousness.
But the problem is that the three-leaf sunflower pattern flag that symbolizes the Tokugawa family has long been planted in various expeditionary army positions outside Nagasaki.
Therefore, now Shimazu Sairyo and his followers are not only accused as traitors by the Tokugawa shogunate, but also as enemies of the emperor by the emperor... This is not the worst thing, the worst thing happened to Shimadzu On the sea behind Qi Liang... On the sea, beyond the range of the 11-inch shore guns, were cruising a hundred or dozens of Ming warships flying the sun and moon flags and bloody red flags!
This means that the Ming Dynasty, which has the right name of East Asian civilization, also refers to Shimazu Sailiang and his men as thieves who must be punished - they are traitors to Asia! Not a traitor, but a traitor who wants to sell the entire East Asia to the white ghost colonists of the West, referred to as a traitor!
According to the "Revelation against Thieves" issued by the Ming Dynasty, Shimazu Sailiang had secretly converted to Christianity and was planning to force all Japanese citizens to convert to Christianity after overthrowing the shogunate and annihilating the emperor. He also wanted to leave Asia and join Europe, becoming the British A loyal lackey of the empire, he wants to be the vanguard of the British Empire's invasion of the East Asian continent... In short, he wants to sell Japan first, then sell East Asia, and finally turn all of Asia into a colony of the British Empire. It is really a heinous crime!
Moreover, countless copies of this memorandum were printed. During this period, airships would be dropped into the sky over Nagasaki every day. Everyone in Nagasaki knew that their leader Shimazu Sairyo was betraying Asia. ...This deal is really big!

Of course, Qi Liang himself did not admit that he wanted to sell to Asia. It didn't even happen in the first place! Even if he wants to sell, who will trade with him if he has no goods? This business is looking at Japan, that is, the shogun Tokugawa Ieqi can give it a little thought... Not to mention, after Shimazu Sailio thought about it for the shogun, he found that the business of selling Asian thieves is not bad.
Leave Asia and join Europe, become a lackey of the British Empire, deal with the unconvinced East and Southeast Asian countries for the British Empire, develop heavy industry with the support of the British Empire, and then use the weapons produced by heavy industry to rob...
Since Japan's reform and founding of the country, haven't you been thinking about this good thing?
It's just that the Ming Empire next door to Japan is incredibly strong. Its fists are as big as sand bowls and its arms are thicker than other people's thighs. How could little Japan withstand a beating from the Ming Dynasty?
Therefore, when it comes to "selling Asia to Europe", Japan just thinks about it. Who dares to do it?
But how can this upright and upright dynasty falsely accuse people of their innocence? And the emperor and the general actually believed it... This really didn't give me any way to survive!
How could he, a traitor to the country, an enemy of the DPRK, and a traitor to Asia, withstand hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the Ming Dynasty and Japan? Now let alone the people below, even his own people were in a mess.
Thinking of this, Shimazu Qi Liang had no choice but to sigh, looked back at his loyal men, and asked: "Xixiang, Togo, Yamamoto, Tojo, Yamagata, Yinto, Oyama, Matsui, Doihara, Saka Yuan, Okamura...you all tell me, what we are doing is selling the interests of East Asia and Southeast Asia to the Europeans?"
Eleven Japanese devils, you look at me, I look at you, you don’t know what to say?
Don’t you have any idea what Shimazu Qi Liang did? Now the Ming Dynasty is not the only one saying that you are a bad person. Both the court and the shogunate say that you are a bad person!
There were also a few "righteous men" who were not from Satsuma who couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Shimadzu family's Maruno Cross flag - there was a circle around the cross, but they didn't notice the trick!
The Shimadzu family is afraid that they will become "traitors" for a day or two, right? Why did I become so blind that I left the feudal clan and went to Nagasaki to pursue a big career? It's over now. The hundreds of thousands of troops from the Tokugawa Shogunate and Ming Dynasty (actually only a few hundred thousand including naval officers and soldiers) were trapped in Nagasaki, unable to escape...
"Sir, there are still more than 10,000 warriors in Nagasaki City, and the reserves are extremely rich, enough to last for three years... Moreover, Nagasaki has always been the first line of coastal defense of the shogunate. It is surrounded by dense fortresses and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you strengthen your confidence and lead everyone to stick to it, things will definitely turn around."
The speaker was Saigo Yoshihei Takamori. He was from the Satsuma Domain. Of course he knew that his master, the Shimazu family, was not a traitor to Asia at all, and he had no idea of leaving Asia and joining Europe... at most he just thought about it. Whenever the world is in chaos again, we must act faster and unify Kyushu Island as soon as possible!
Shimazu Qi Liang sighed and ordered: "Go back to the Nagasaki Formation House and hold a military meeting of each team!"
"Hayin!"
The samurai around Shimazu Qi Liang weakly agreed.
...
"Military advisor, you can see Nagasaki City!"
Just when Shimazu Qi Liang and his men left the Yatendake Fortress outside Nagasaki and headed for the Shimazu family's Jinya in Nagasaki City, in the northeast of Nagasaki, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, there were hundreds of dozens of people. A flying formation composed of two Hiryu-3 airships is approaching Nagasaki City at a speed of approximately 80 kilometers per hour.
The person known as the "strategist" is Zhuge Weidao. His "long" six-month shipboard mission has finally ended - in fact, he can stay on the Lushun for a few more months, and even "get "A Hongwu Emperor-class ship is the dream of most naval officers!"
But Zhuge Weidao knew his own trade. Although he obtained two battle stars during the six-month mission, he also obtained a record of sinking a battleship (cooperating with the sinking), and received a firing line promotion and two A great achievement (the other was shooting down eight airships in the Battle of Jueying Island), but he still chose to go ashore...or to be more precise, go to heaven!
The day after he left the cruiser Lushun, he was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Naval Aviation - he had "booked" this position with Zhuge Weiyong and Guan Tianpei early in the morning, so the original staff officer of the Naval Aviation The director was transferred away early, and the seat has been vacant since mid-July, waiting for Zhuge Weidao, an "aerospace expert", to take up the post.
Zhuge Weidao's first task after taking office was the "Nagasaki Fire Attack" that he first proposed!
Originally Zhuge Weidao planned to burn Hiroshima City, but at this time the Asano family who ruled the Hiroshima Domain did not side with the Nagasaki "traitors". Instead, they responded to the shogunate's call and dispatched 1,500 domain soldiers to participate in the Nagasaki War. Qi crusade. In this way, Zhuge Weidao had no reason to bomb Hiroshima City.
Moreover, the current Hiroshima Castle has no bombing value, it is just the residence of the feudal lord. After the warriors went out to fight, the only ones left there were the old, weak, women and children.
Nagasaki became the only target of fire attack. In order to achieve a successful fire attack, Zhuge Weidao, the chief of staff, worked hard. He flew several times to Nagasaki to visit places, and also prevented "paper bombing" of several cities.
The paper bombing was carried out, on the one hand, to expose Shimazu's crimes; on the other hand, it was also to relax Nagasaki's vigilance.
In addition, after studying the weather forecast, Zhuge Weidao also calculated an auspicious day for bombing and arson, which is today, the eighth day of August!
The disaster day of Nagasaki...is here!
