Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Pang Ning angrily kicked a sailor in the thigh and drove those guys hiding behind the boulder outside.

    "You idiot! Get on top of me!"

    ¡°If we don¡¯t defeat the Fukuoka Domain today, I, Pang Ning, will be the son of a bitch!¡±

    The black smoke from the black powder filled the air, blurring the field of vision on the battlefield.  There were stray bullets everywhere on the battlefield, some shot by Japanese muskets and some shot by Nanhai flintlock muskets.  "His" "hiss" flew from the front, cut through the black smoke, and disappeared behind it in an instant.  Occasionally, a stray bullet will hit a flesh and blood body and take away an unlucky life.

    On the mountain side of the castle, the three thousand navy sailors who were killing the five thousand people of Fukuoka Domain at the foot of the mountain were attacking.

    The sailor captain who was kicked outside by Pang Ning had not taken a few steps.

    , was tripped by a wounded person on the ground.  It was a naval casualty who had been shot for a long time, twitching on the ground silently.  The wounded man's neck was a mess of blood and flesh, and blood vessels and throat could be vaguely seen in the opened flesh.  The tragic situation of the wounded man made the sailor captain lose his courage. He shouted a few words in vain, climbed forward a few steps, and stopped behind another rock.

    Dozens of sailors followed him, lay on the ground and fired.  Two figures on the opposite side seemed to have fallen, but the Japanese immediately fired a row of retaliatory volleys at them.  A salvo of hundreds of rounds rippled across the nearby grass, and a sailor was shot in the shoulder.  The shot sailor rolled over on the grass and let out a heart-rending scream.

    The other sailors did not rush forward, but hurriedly climbed to a trough on the right.

    Although the Fukuoka Domain could not defeat the rifled gun front of the Okai Camp, it was obvious that the Okai Camp could not defeat the Fukuoka Domain who defended it with muskets.

    The deafening gunshots on the battlefield made people a little confused.  Pang Ning stared at the front line, which was unable to push any further.

    Although Pang Ning has always taken it one step at a time, now that he has reached this point, Pang Ning really wants to win this battle.  If Fukuoka Domain is not captured today, Pang Ning's trip to Japan will come back empty-handed.

    In a mountainous country like Japan, the diversity of terrain greatly favors defenders.  The area of ??Iwami Silver Mountain is very close to the coast, so Pang Ning was able to capture the castle immediately and build an artillery defense system covering the entire supply line.  But except for special places such as Nagasaki Port and Iwami Ginzan, the main cities of Japanese princes are deeper inland, and most of them are more than ten kilometers away from the coast.

    Although Japan is an island country, it is composed of four giant islands after all.  Even Osaka, known as the "Water City" by the Japanese, is only fifteen kilometers away from the coastline.

    In the hinterland of the Japanese islands, the navy¡¯s combat distance from the sea is extremely limited.  Complex supply lines and heavy artillery restricted the troops' progress.  The sailors marched twenty kilometers against the sun, and if they really went more than fifteen kilometers inland, they would have to camp in the enemy's hinterland.  By then, problems such as supply and vulnerability in night battles will cause the complex flintlock to lose its advantage.

    With four thousand sailors launching an attack, if we encounter twice as many enemies inland, the situation will be extremely difficult.  Just supplying this one item can put the Pohai Camp that goes deep inland into a dilemma.  The Japanese may not be able to break through the dangerous gun formations, but they can definitely use their superior force to cut off the navy's land supply lines.

    Here at Shijian Yinshan, Pang Ning has reinforcements from the Marine Corps and the Pioneer Army, and the terrain is advantageous, making it more cost-effective than taking risks and attacking other places.  If the shogunate army could not be severely damaged at Iwami Ginzan, they could only use their superior navy to raid the beaches along the coast of Japan.  In fact, if Pang Ning invades these fishing villages and farms, the Japanese may not surrender.  And the profits from looting may not even be able to earn back the navy's daily maintenance costs.

    If Pang Ning doesn¡¯t want to go to Japan in vain, he must use certain means to severely defeat the Tokugawa shogunate and force his opponents to sign an alliance under the city walls.

    If the coalition forces organized by the shogunate could be completely defeated in this battle, the situation would be completely different.  Once the Tokugawa shogunate and Japanese vassals are frightened and Japan is turned into a free trade zone, the Nanhai merchants who follow Pang Ning will gain huge benefits.  The income of businessmen has increased, and Pang Ning always has a way to collect a lot of money.

    This kind of benefit is even greater than all the wealth owned by the Japanese princes.

    If the form of exploitation in agricultural society is direct land rent income, then in industrial society, unequal scientific and technological advantages can make one nation willingly work for another nation for a lifetime on the line of food and clothing.  The most barbaric form of slavery is to use violence to make others submit.  The most civilized slavery system is to use the huge gap in technology to make other countries become colonies of one's own country.

    Industrial countries can use extremely low-cost industrial consumer goods and industrial luxury goods in exchange for all the resource output of huge agricultural countries.  The factories in Nanhai, which are stronger than ever, know how to use machines toThen you can put the cannon on the fairy mountain and bomb Iwami Ginzan.

    Without the compensation from Iwami Ginzan¡¯s silver income, Pang Ning would not be able to spend time with the Japanese in the city.  This is Japan after all, and supplies are easy for the Japanese.  But Pang Ning's supplies were shipped from the South China Sea, thousands of miles away.  In the end, the Nanhai Kingdom could only withdraw from the four Japanese islands without success.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Maybe they can plunder a few times on the coast to calm down, but it's just to save face for themselves.

    Pang Ning looked in the direction of the Fairy Mountain with some silence. Listening to the rumble of cannons coming from there, Pang Ning felt a little frustrated for a moment.

    But the development of the war situation did not allow him to continue to hesitate.  There was a rumble of horse steps nearby. Deng Aqi's two thousand cavalrymen were all wounded and retreated quickly.  Probably because they were dissatisfied with the performance of the Pohai Battalion, the cavalry did not approach Pang Ning, but directly passed the sailors and retreated towards the Fairy Mountain.  The young vanguard Banner rode alone in front of Pang Ning and stood on the battlefield where bullets were flying.

    Deng Aqi is an arrogant officer who has absolute confidence and feelings in himself and his troops.  Today, more than a hundred people died under his banner, and he was in a very bad mood.  Although opposite him was the leader of Wuyuan Valley who had watched him grow up, and the leader of Nanhai Kingdom with a high status,
