Zheng Yong brought a fleet to the vicinity of Kyoto.
When they approached the sea area of Xiaoguizi, Emperor Xiaoguizi learned that a fleet was coming towards them.
The people of the Japanese country began to boil from top to bottom. Both workers and students took to the streets to petition, demanding severe punishment for the Tenglong Navy.
They must pay for their arrogance.
After Zheng Yong arrived in Kyoto, he looked at the little devils on the opposite side, who were waiting strictly.
Zheng Yong frowned. It's not easy to fight. There are many large-caliber coastal defense guns on the opposite side.
"Give me the order to concentrate your firepower and attack the firepower point on the opposite side."
"Then attack the key building on the opposite side."
"yes."
The little devil is still discussing how to respond.
Matsushima Fuko requested to lead the cruiser Matsushima and other old warships in a decisive battle with the Tenglong Army.
The Emperor did not agree to the Matsushima cruiser's request for a decisive battle, mainly because he was reluctant to part with it. It was just a new warship. If it was also destroyed, they would really just become lambs to be slaughtered.
However, the Navy Ministry still ordered the cruiser Matsushima to take several small warships out of the port to cover the flanks.
The main thing is to contain them, not to fight decisively.
The emperor also sent ministers to negotiate peace with the Tenglong army.
After Zheng Yong issued the order, five warships began to bombard the coast of Kyoto.
Kyoto also launched a coastal defense battle.
The Tenglong navy soldiers on the five warships were very excited. In the past, others bombed their coasts.
It felt so good to finally get their turn to bomb someone else.
A landmark building along the coast of Kyoto was destroyed by a single shot from the battleship Zheng Chenggong.
In addition, many merchant ships in the port were also destroyed.
Most of them are merchant ships from various countries and Japanese merchant ships.
The five warships relied on their strong maneuverability and moved wildly. As long as a firepower point was exposed on the opposite side, they would output firepower against this firepower point.
This also destroyed many coastal defense guns on the opposite side.
Zheng Yong and the others did not get too close. After all, they were here to show off their power, not really to attack the Japanese country.
It is impossible to capture Japan with this small force.
Zheng Yong was preparing to take the fleet to another place to continue the bombing.
At this time, news came from the little devils, and they requested peace.
Zheng Yong suddenly became interested.
"Let them send people to our main ship, and only allow five envoys from Japan to board our warship."
"yes. "
After getting the consent of the commander of the Tenglong Army Fleet, the little devil sent envoys to the battleship Zheng Chenggong to negotiate peace.
This time, the Tenglong Army's shelling of their coast caused a large number of their buildings to be blown up.
Some military factories were also destroyed.
This cost them a lot.
Mainly due to the indiscriminate bombing by the Tenglong Army, they also caused many civilian casualties.
This is their political, economic and cultural center.
I really can't bear such a blow.
An hour later, a small warship sent five people over.
After the five-person warship approached the battleship Zheng Chenggong, more than ten soldiers from the Tenglong Army boarded the warship.
First, the five ambassadors who were about to land for negotiations with the Tenglong Army were searched.
There must be no weapons on the body.
Then the five ambassadors were blindfolded.
The five ambassadors became uneasy when they heard that they had to cover their eyes.
They are here to negotiate, not to be prisoners.
The Tenglong Army is also free and easy. If you don't agree, then please go back and we will continue the bombardment.
This made the leader, an old man, very angry.
Two of the five of them are ship designers, and they design all the warships they build.
The purpose of bringing them here for this negotiation was to learn from others and learn as much as possible about the internal structure and data of this big ship.
These two people are also the masters of memory in their country. They have photographic memory and their eyes are like scanners. They can calculate approximate data at a glance.
Then when you go back, you can imitate and build it yourself.
But this time they were all blindfolded, how could they visit this battleship.
The old man said to the Tenglong Navy soldier: "Hello, sir, I, Iwakura Tomoshi, am the general representative of this negotiation with your army."
"We, the Japanese country, have been neighbors with your country since ancient times."
"It's normal for two neighbors to have a little friction. We, the Japanese country, are now guests on the ghost country's ship."
"Is your Tenglong Empire's way of treating guests just to let us board the ship blindfolded?"
"Hahaha, I don't care who you are, even if your emperor comes and the commander says you should be blindfolded, you must be blindfolded."
"Our Grand Governor of the Tenglong Empire once said that when friends come, bring good wine, and when jackals come, bring shotguns."
"I don't think we need to say more about whether you are friends or foes. You have your own idea."
"Don't be fooled into thinking that I'm just a soldier."
"We all know in our hearts whether all of you here are really ambassadors."
"I won't talk nonsense. Can't you say a word?"
"Don't waste our time, we still have a lot of shells to fire."
"We in the Tenglong Kingdom make too many artillery shells. We big-headed soldiers can only make more and find some targets to practice aiming at."
"We dare not blow up the buildings in our own country, but we can blow them up here."
"Do you still want to negotiate? If not, get out of here. I'm going to try a few more shots!"
Iwakura Tomoshi only felt that the scholar's encounter with the soldiers was unreasonable, let alone unreasonable.
The few little devils were all silenced by a soldier from Tenglong Navy.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the Chinese civilization of more than five thousand years would actually give birth to barbaric guys like you."
"Okay, just blindfold us and take us on board. I want to see if your fleet commander is as vulgar as you."
"Bah, our Tenglong Empire doesn't need an old guy like you to tell us how to do things."
"Aren't you crazy if we don't let you in yet?"
"Come on, let's continue fighting, please come back!"
At this time, another man in his fifties came out.
"Sir, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Your Majesty Iwakura Tomomi spoke a little harshly just now. You don't remember our villain's faults."
After speaking, he also took some gold and silver to the Tenglong Army soldiers.
The Tenglong Army soldier took the gold and silver and threw it to another soldier behind him.
"I'll hand this over to the Chief of Staff for registration later. It's the little devil's heart."
The old man opposite was embarrassed for a while, but he didn't expect that the Tenglong Army soldiers were not as wealthy as the Qing soldiers.
After he gave away the money, he still didn't get any good results.
"Sir, I, Xixiang Shenglong, am the deputy envoy for this negotiation."
"Sir, please be accommodating and let us negotiate with the commander of your fleet. If you say blindfolded, then blindfold us."
"I thought you Japanese people were all this proud, but it seems that's not the case."
"Let's go, don't waste any time."
Five little devils were taken aboard the battleship Zheng Chenggong.
Saigo Moritaka and Iwakura Tomoshi did not expect that the Tenglong Army would go so far and took them directly to the negotiation room.
They didn't get any information at all.
The most I could do was count the number of steps it took from getting on the ship to the negotiation conference room.
After the five people took off their blindfolds, they saw Zheng Yong sitting opposite.
Zheng Yong had a cold expression on his face.
"I am the commander of this fleet, and I am also the captain of the battleship Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Yong. You all should sit down and tell us your purpose of coming here."
"I, the right minister of Japan, Iwakura Tomoe, has received an order from the Emperor to negotiate with your army."
"Next to me is Saigo Moritaka, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Guards and the deputy envoy for this negotiation."
"The following three are negotiating ambassadors Ito Hirobumi, Hirahara Yoshiho, and Aoi Ono."
