    Chapter 539: The Sorrow of Japan

    There has been no update in the past two days. I am actually writing a new book.  Long Qi Ming Dynasty is coming to an end soon, so I want to open a new book. However, since it was not approved within two days, I transferred it to Zongheng.  The title of the book is "Super Space Soldiers on Earth". Although it is fantasy, it is connected with the timelines of World War II, the Cultural Revolution, etc. If you are interested, you can check it out.

    ??¡ª¡ª

    "If Xiao Mingqian had attacked Japan twenty years ago, it would have been very difficult, and he would have even fallen into a quagmire of national resistance by the Japanese.

    But now Japan has been completely crippled by Xiao Mingqian.  It has been nearly ten years since the imperial family of Japan was exterminated, and Japan has still been in constant war for the past ten years.

    Although the emperor reappeared later, the problem was that two emperors appeared at once.  This was fatal, and the whole of Japan once again fell into protracted chaos.

    In the past, it was possible to end this kind of war with the emperor as the banner, but what about now?  Two emperors!  Who do you let the Japanese choose?

    There are very few people in this world who have given up their ambitions to fight for the world with high moral integrity. Even if it is possible, it is only the prince in England who loves beauty but not the country, or the prince in Italy who conquered most of northern Italy but gave up in the end.  Tianxia, ??gave his territory to the Italian hero of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

    It is a pity that Japan does not have such sentiments, at least the Tokugawa family and the southern vassal daimyo who have been fighting each other for more than 20 years do not have such sentiments.

    Not only do they not have such thoughts, there is even great hatred among ordinary people.

    There was a very fatal problem in Japan during this period, that is, the entire Japan was divided into countless countries.  To a certain extent, these countries are stable, and because of this, the people in their hearts distinguish themselves from the Japanese in other countries, just like England, Scotland, and Wales in this era.  The division is quite clear.

    Prior to this, there was no big problem with the emperor as the nominal co-owner.  But the emperor disappeared, and the war between the several countries continued for so long that nearly two million people died.

    Such a chaotic situation and protracted war created extremely deep hatred among the Japanese.  This hatred has brought them to a point where it's either you or me who will die.

    Precisely because of this, when the Chinese Empire landed in Nagasaki, Tokugawa Hidetada not only failed to show goodwill to reconcile with the southern daimyo to fight against the Chinese Empire, but instead stepped up his attack on Toyotomi Hideyori's territory.

    The one responsible for attacking Nagasaki was the First Fleet of the Chinese Empire, and the fleet commander was no longer Zhao Yongyan, but the new generation naval commander, Zhao Guozhu.  A playmate who grew up with Xiao Mingqian is an excellent naval commander who has received formal naval education and has ten years of naval combat experience.

    Tang Hongsheng¡¯s resignation triggered the retirement of a large number of elderly officials within the Chinese Empire.  On the navy side, although Zhao Yongyan is only in his fifties now, it is difficult for him to remain in the position of fleet commander.  So he took the initiative to transfer from the First Fleet.

    In the end, he was assigned to the position of Chief of the Navy, basically withdrawing from the front line of naval warfare.

    But don¡¯t underestimate Zhao Guozhu. His commanding ability is much better than that of Zhao Yongyan. Sometimes, he feels that he was born at the wrong time and failed to catch up with the large-scale naval battles before the founding of the country.  Although he also participated in the final naval battle against the Dutch, at that time, he was only the captain of a battleship.

    This time when he landed in Nagasaki, Zhao Guozhu first attacked Kagoshima in an east-west attack, and had a large-scale troop transport ship appear on Tanegashima, making it look like he was about to land in Kagoshima.

    But just two days later, 500 troop transport ships, carrying 80,000 troops, escorted by 50 warships, appeared on the sea of ??Nagasaki.

    Fifty warships first carried out indiscriminate bombing of Japanese military strongholds near the port of Nagasaki for half an hour, and then 80,000 troops successfully landed in Nagasaki.

    Although the Maori family stationed more than 70,000 people in Nagasaki, and these more than 70,000 people dared to fight, under the fire of the improved Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, those more than 70,000 people were only equipped with powerful breech-breaking rifles.  The troops were cleared out in just half a day.

    However, although the breech-loaded flintlock guns were lagging behind, they still caused considerable damage to the soldiers. More than fifty people died in the street fighting in Nagasaki.

    Fortunately, the ordinary Japanese in Nagasaki did not resist like the Japanese on Tanegashima, otherwise the losses would be even greater.

    Subsequently, after the second wave of 100,000 troops arrived, the Chinese Imperial Army divided its forcesThe two routes went north to Shijian and east to Zhoufeng respectively, and occupied both places with almost no effort.

    The three daimyo were destroyed within five days. Toyotomi Hideyori and many southeastern daimyo immediately panicked. They could not help but feel the threat of destruction.

    So he immediately sued for peace from Tokugawa Hidetada, and raised troops from all over, mobilizing 340,000 people in Anyun to fight a decisive battle with the Eastern Army of the Chinese Empire.

    This battle gathered most of the troops from the southeastern vassal states, and it can be said to be a decisive battle.  For this war, the famous generals in the southeast used all their strength, and even mobilized nearly a thousand artillery pieces of various types previously purchased from the Chinese Empire.

    On the Chinese Empire¡¯s side, due to the need for troops to garrison the newly occupied land, the number of troops participating in the war was less than 80,000, with a ratio of four to one.  There are only two hundred artillery pieces.

    But even so, they still failed, and they failed miserably.  Nearly a thousand artillery pieces were turned into scrap metal by the Chinese Empire's artillery before they could function.

    No matter in terms of range or rate of fire, Japanese artillery is inferior to the Chinese Empire. More importantly, the shells of Japanese artillery are still large iron pellets, and few of them can explode.

    With such technological advantages, if the artillery force of the Chinese Empire cannot win, then it should be killed by a piece of tofu.

    In fact, the Japanese are not unaware that the artillery and muskets of the Chinese Empire have been updated, and they have also sent spies to spy on intelligence. However, Xiao Mingqian kept things related to mercury thunder extremely tight.

    So far, only Taipei, Shenyang in Liaodong and the newly built Nanjing have factories. The confidentiality and defense levels of the production factories in these places have been raised to the extreme, so it is basically impossible to detect the production method of mercury fulminate.  of.

    If you fall behind, you will be beaten. The Japanese army of more than 300,000 is vulnerable to the 80,000 Imperial Chinese Army. And because there are two cavalry divisions among the 80,000 army, after the defeat of the 300,000-plus army, only  More than 60,000 people fled the battlefield, more than 150,000 others were captured, and all others were killed.

    And Toyotomi Hideyori and a dozen daimyo were all killed in this battle.  Of course, this is the official statement. In fact, a large number of these people surrendered and were just executed secretly.
