- "Sir, what's the matter?"
After seeing himself being greeted by Ishida Aido and letting him pass, the military commander, who was about forty years old and wearing black armor, rode up in front of Ishida with great confusion.
"Tanaka, you think of a way to approach those strangers from the sea. I want to send you to contact them. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between the other party's bombardment of Osaka, so if possible, I want to avoid a head-on conflict with them. After all, they We don¡¯t have ships at sea, so it would be very detrimental to us if we were to fight the other side.¡±
Actually, to put it bluntly, Ishida Kaido doesn¡¯t want to fight, but he wouldn¡¯t say that.
Who doesn¡¯t know how to say nice things? Ishida Kaido found an excuse in a roundabout way.
And, this excuse sounds pretty good.
The general named Tanaka nodded, then took the order and left.
As Japanese generals in this era, they have no way to refute orders from their superiors.
Even if the order is extremely unreasonable, they must carry it out.
After Tanaka left, he started muttering in his heart.
"Really, you actually asked me to find a boat to approach those strangers from the sea. Aren't you worried that I will be killed as an attacker?" Tanaka's tone was a little aggrieved.
Since the bombardment of Osaka Commercial Town, these generals have been paying close attention to Zhao Hongyu and the others.
The power and scene of the battleship's artillery salvo have given them extreme shock.
They couldn¡¯t imagine how they could defeat such a fleet at sea.
Not to mention anything else, the dense artillery alone is enough for them to drink a pot.
Only ten minutes have passed since the bombardment, but the bustling commercial town of Osaka has been transformed into a living hell under the devastation of the artillery fire.
? Japanese buildings in this era were basically made of wooden structures.
Therefore, it is extremely easy to ignite under the bombardment of hot shells.
Therefore, there are several black smoke coming out from Osaka Commercial Town, and it seems that there is already a fire.
"It's just because there is too much time, those flames have not yet formed a large scale.
But anyone who understands will see that as time goes by, Osaka Commercial Town will definitely be swallowed up by the sea of ??fire.
It would be a lie to say that Ishida Aido doesn't feel distressed. After all, as a lord, he relies on Osaka Commercial Town to provide him with a large part of his food and drink expenses.
Even some novel and novel gadgets were purchased from Osaka Commercial Town and delivered to him.
If Osaka Commercial Town is destroyed, wouldn¡¯t he have nothing to enjoy in a short period of time?
But the problem is that Ishida Aimichi saw the power of Zhao Hongyu's fleet bombardment from a high building in Osaka Castle, so he didn't have the guts to trouble Zhao Hongyu and the others.
The reason why he summoned the soldiers was just to put on a show in front of his men.
¡°In this way, it can be proved that he is relatively qualified as a lord.
Otherwise, for those men, the lord's territory was bombed like this, and he was indifferent.
So, what will these subordinates think of him?
Because of both emotion and reason, he had to stand up at this time and shout some slogans.
But in fact, Ishida didn¡¯t want to conflict with those strangers.
So, he found Tanaka and asked him to think of a way to contact those strangers, so that everyone could sit down and solve all the problems.
Of course, Tanaka still has one thing to do, and that is to find out whether the other party was instigated by the remnants of Tokugawa.
If nothing happened to the Tokugawa remnants, everything would be easy to handle.
This is the most true thought in Ishida Aido's heart.
Tanaka knows this very well.
"However, Tanaka is also very troubled.
Because judging from the current situation, the other party has already started bombarding Osaka.
Then, there must be something irreconcilable here.
In this situation where the situation is unclear, can I complete the task assigned to me by Ishida?
¡°Oh, it¡¯s really a big suffering.
But no matter what, the order has been given to me, and I have complied with it.
Then, try to complete it as much as possible.
Although the Japanese have shortcomings of one kind or another, they are even very vulgar.
But I have to admit that the Japanese also have their advantages.
That is, they have a high degree of execution of orders. Even if they die, they will still want to complete the tasks assigned to them by their leaders.
This kind of thinking did not change more or less until later generations were impacted by Western culture.
But there are not many such changes. At least in the large Japanese companies of later generations, this concept still continues.
Tanaka led fifty of his men and rushed towards Osaka Commercial Town on fast horses.
Along the way, they saw many people lured from the commercial town.
"Listen!"
Seeing these people fleeing, Tanaka wondered if he could get some useful information from these people.
Thinking of this, he reined in the reins and shouted loudly.
When the panic-stricken people saw the samurai master riding a tall horse blocking the way and asking them to stop, these people stopped obediently and looked at Tanaka at a loss.
They didn¡¯t know what the warrior master was going to do when he stopped them.
In this era, samurai are absolutely superior to civilians, so people seemed a little panicked and uneasy after being ordered to stop.
The faces of these people were full of dust, confusion and fear.
The encounter in Commercial Town was so sudden that they were not prepared at all.
The jade-like shells fell, and the people around him couldn't help but cry.
The originally bustling commercial town suddenly turned into a hell-like world.
"Did you escape from Commercial Town?"
Tanaka sat on the war horse, looking down at the people and asked loudly.
The people lowered their heads and knelt on both sides of the road, not daring to look up at Tanaka.
You must know that in Japan from the 17th century to the end of the Tokugawa period, there were laws that stipulated that civilians could not look at samurai and nobles.
If any of them dare to raise their heads and look at the warriors and nobles, it would be a great disrespect.
When the time comes, the warriors and nobles can draw their swords and kill those people on the spot without breaking any laws.
It is precisely because of this law that after these people were ordered to stop by Tanaka, they all knelt down on both sides of the street in an orderly manner, waiting for the samurai master's question.
"Yes, Master Samurai, we all escaped from Commercial Town."
When Tanaka asked a question, an old man in the crowd with his head lowered opened his mouth to answer.
Even when he was answering, the old man lowered his head and did not raise it.
He doesn¡¯t want to die for no reason. God knows what this samurai master is going to do. Maybe he is angry and wants to vent his anger.
Well, such bad luck cannot be touched.
"Who among you knows what happened over there in Commercial Town!"
Tanaka sat on the horse and continued to ask.
The war horse under its crotch kept snoring and its front legs scratched the ground.
¡°We don¡¯t know if we get back to the samurai master.¡±
It was the old man who answered Tanaka¡¯s question.
"At that time, we were still discussing business with people in the shop, but for some reason, the foreign warships at sea opened fire. Then the commercial town was caught in the sky with shells, and everything was destroyed. My shop It was also destroyed, and many people even lost their families.¡±
woo woo woo woo!
When the old man said this, the people kneeling on both sides of the road began to cry softly.
For these people, Tanaka has no sympathy.
In his eyes, these people are just scoundrels.
Their life and death has nothing to do with him. The most important thing for him is to quickly understand some situations and complete the task assigned to him by Lord Ishida.
"Stop crying, I want to know why those foreigners fired!"
Tanaka was a little impatient by the low sobbing of these people, and then he scolded them.
Well!
The people who were sobbing softly immediately suppressed their tears and runny noses after being scolded by Tanaka. There was really no sound at all on the spot.
YouWe must admit that the people of the island country have a lot of meanness in their hearts.
Otherwise, the Japanese in later generations would not have sublimated a certain art and promoted it to the whole world.
¡°These people really don¡¯t know anything about why foreigners fire.
¡°After all, how could they possibly know that Takeuchi Jin demanded bribes and spoke cruelly to foreigners?
¡°And foreigners gave Takeuchi a chance, but Takeuchi didn¡¯t grasp it.
Therefore, this has led to the current situation.
Except for Takeuchi and those around him, this matter is still unknown to outsiders for the time being.
Therefore, Tanaka is destined to not get any useful information from these people.
¡°And even if Tanaka knew the whole story, he would definitely feel pain in his balls.
Without him, it was just a trivial matter like asking for a bribe, but those foreigners started such a big battle. It was obvious that the other party was not easy to deal with.
¡° If Tanaka really knew about these situations, he would definitely not have the idea of ????contacting Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Because it can be seen from this incident that it is not easy to deal with a foreigner who became angry because he asked for bribes and made a fuss about bombarding Osaka.
In fact, no one knows that Zhao Hongyu did this on purpose.
He just wanted to make a fuss out of a molehill and bring disaster to the Japanese.
"Don't say that there is no Takeuchi Jin. Even without him, Zhao Hongyu will look for opportunities to cause a big situation after he comes to Japan.
Tanaka did not get the information he hoped for here, so he led his men and continued towards Osaka Commercial Town.
The further you go, the more miserable the people become.
Gradually, even disabled teams appeared.
However, Tanaka couldn¡¯t care about these things.
"Watanabe!"
When he saw the outline of Commercial Town, Tanaka had arrived near Commercial Town, so Tanaka had to stop.
Following his shout, a cavalryman wearing flag armor came to his side.
"Take someone to search nearby. We need a boat. At the same time, don't forget to find a larger white cloth."
oh!
The Hatamoto samurai named Watanabe took the order and took five of his companions with him.
Tanaka took the remaining Hatamoto soldiers and found a place to dismount and rest.
I¡¯m really annoyed that after asking so many people, I didn¡¯t get any useful information.
Could it be that those foreigners bombarded Osaka Commercial Town for no reason?
Tanaka thought bitterly in his heart.
He absolutely does not believe it, because no one would do such a thing for no reason.
Thinking about it, those foreigners must have encountered some unfair situation in Osaka, which made them angry and fired on Osaka.
??Actually, I don¡¯t care much about foreigners Tanaka.
Because in his opinion, those foreigners had already provoked the shogunate by doing this.
Thinking about it, it won¡¯t be long before what happens here in Osaka will be spread to Edo, and eventually the shogun will also know about it.
The general would definitely be angry at the act of challenging the Japanese government by bombarding Osaka.
And it goes without saying that the consequences of the general's anger will be dealt with. When the army is assembled, they will definitely deal with these foreigners.
Although the foreign warships are very powerful, this is Japan after all, and this is their territory.
No matter how strong you are as a foreigner, you will not have an advantage here.
When the army arrives, they will be able to deal with these foreigners.
It¡¯s just that now his lord doesn¡¯t want to conflict with these foreigners, and has given him an order to contact them, which is a bit of a headache for Tanaka.
Although he complained about this order in his heart, as a samurai, he really had no way to refuse this order. He could only bite the bullet and complete it as much as possible.
¡¡Dividing line¡¡
"Your Highness, we have been bombarding Osaka Commercial Town for ten minutes now. A quarter of the buildings in Osaka Commercial Town have been destroyed, and fire has begun to appear in the town. I think it won't be long before the Commercial Town is destroyed. It¡¯s going to be consumed by fire.¡±
Unlike the Japanese who have headaches, Zhao Hongyu looked very relaxed and relaxed on the deck of the Sea King, lying on the deck chair.Satisfied.
Mrs. Wang, Liu Dashang, Emma and Sarah were all sitting around him.
"The matter has come to this, Master Wang has nothing to say. Anyway, that's the way it is now.
Liu Dashen, on the other hand, looked excited. He couldn't help but pick up the monocular and look at the situation in the commercial town.
Emma, ??on the other hand, would smile and clap her hands and yell every time the artillery was fired, looking very excited.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang and Sarah looked worried, as if they were worried about something.
In the end, Master Wang could not hold back. He spoke again: "My lord, it is still too late to leave now. When the Japanese realize that the army has gathered, we will be in trouble."
It turned out that Master Wang was worried about what would happen after the bombardment, and persuaded Zhao Hongyu to lead the fleet away from here now.
Mrs. Wang still knows the speed of the fleet, so in his opinion, as long as they leave now, the Japanese will not catch up with them.
?This way, they will not be in any danger.
But the question is, will Zhao Hongyu leave? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
