Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Off the coast of Osaka, on the Wakayama line.
Originally, this was a very calm sea area, and fishermen living along the coast were often seen here. They have made a living fishing in this sea area for generations.
But today, the originally calm sea area has become no longer calm, but full of blood and killing.
Even the albatross and seagulls that always appeared in the sky have disappeared.
On the sea, there are two teams with very different ship types engaged in an artillery battle.
The rumbling sound of the cannon pierced the sky, and each shelling would shake out circles of water ripples on the sea, and then slowly expand.
Some shells that missed their targets fell into the sea, setting off columns of water.
The artillery fire on one side is very sharp. Basically, a single salvo can fire thousands of artillery shells.
There are various types of these artillery shells, including chain shells, solid shells, and even blooming shells.
These three types of artillery shells are the mainstream artillery shells in naval battles in Europe.
"However, in the East, people have not seen such artillery shells.
Although there were also maritime merchants from Europe in the East at this time, they were generally very honest along the Eastern coast and would not cause any trouble.
Therefore, even if there is a conflict, solid bullets will generally be used.
The reason is simple, solid bullets save money.
So, Easterners really don¡¯t see much of other types of artillery shells.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¢ÛThey also know some about big pirates?
But, this is the sea off Osaka, and one of the two sides fighting is the Japanese Navy.
"These Japanese naval forces think very highly of themselves, and they don't even know that there are such artillery shells.
Therefore, the current Japanese naval forces were suddenly defeated by the opponent.
"Come on! Rush over to me and speed up the battleship!"
Hey!
On the side of the Japanese navy, on a ship that was built very huge, like a loft floating on the sea, there was a shirtless man holding a long iron fork. He was very strong, with ferocious features, and he was in his thirties. The strong man, who was about 10 years old, was yelling at his subordinates.
This person is none other than the navy general sent by the shogunate this time, Mouri Ryuzo.
Speaking of the name Maori, many people may be familiar with it.
The Mori family can be said to have been the family that lasted throughout Japan's Warring States Period, and was finally able to survive during the Tokugawa Shogunate's rule.
Of course, this is something that belongs to another time and space.
In this time and space, the Maori family is living a rather miserable life.
Because of the problem of standing in the wrong team, the Mori family is no longer the feudal lord daimyo at this time.
Their descendants are barely surviving as generals under the shogun.
In another time and space, the Maori family supported Ishida Mitsunari.
¡°If in this time and space, the Mori family had still supported the Ishida family, maybe they wouldn¡¯t have become so tragic.
But the fact is that the other time and space has nothing to do with them. The Maori family in this time and space once again stood on the wrong team during the Sekigahara war. What they supported was actually Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp.
Therefore, when Ishida Mitsunari won the final victory, the Maori family was in great misfortune.
The direct family was confiscated, and only the collateral family barely survived.
At the same time, the collateral branch Maori, in order to save their own lives, they could only express their allegiance to the Ishida shogunate and dedicated all their territories.
In this way, they were let go by the shogunate.
This Maori Ryuzao is the heir to the collateral family and the head of the family in this era.
Back then, the Maori family¡¯s navy was still very powerful.
Although they are a branch of Maori, they are more or less proficient in navy tactics.
"The Ishida shogunate lacked such naval talents.
After all, Japan is an island country.
And around Japan, there are all kinds of pirates and Nanman people with strong ships and powerful guns.
Therefore, the shogunate needs a navy general to support Japan.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ¡°
In this way, the collateral clan Mori defected to the Ishida shogunate and survived as a navy general under the shogun.
Their salary is not much, just barely enough to live on.
But such conditions are already very good for them.
Moreover, the one who suppressed them was Ishida Mitsunari, the old general who founded the shogunate. Since Ishida Mitsunari passed away and his son Ishida Hiroshi succeeded him as a general, this general who did not manage the government very much no longer suppressed the Maori family. , and even became very loose in some policies.
This time, the Maori family saw the dawn of hope.
However, after all, the Warring States Period has ended, and after the collateral branch Maori defected to the shogunate, they existed as members of the samurai family.
So, as members of the Wu family, if they want to change their status and destiny, they must rely on their military exploits.
But, but, after all, the Warring States Period is over, so there are still so many military exploits for the Maori family to turn around.
Although they are in charge of the navy, the lifeline of the navy is controlled by the shogunate.
As a naval force, its lifeblood is material supplies.
Unless Maori is willing to betray Japan, he will suffer from this weakness.
And although Maori Ryuzo also wanted to kill Liang and take credit, he did not dare to do anything to the pirates in the nearby waters.
Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong are not something he can deal with.
If he offends these two people, his good days will probably come to an end.
??Although that one person can easily summon more than 10,000 warships.
Treating yourself is just like playing games.
For the sake of your own life, staying away from these pirates is the best way.
¡°Besides, whether it¡¯s Li Xiang or Zheng Zhilong, they did not give themselves less benefits.
"Otherwise, how can we support a family with just that little salary?"
This is very unrealistic.
Originally, Ryuzo Maori was in despair and had no hope of reviving the Maori family.
However, this time he suddenly saw an opportunity.
Yes, an opportunity for the Maori family to turn around.
A group of foreigners who didn¡¯t know where they came from actually bombarded Osaka Commercial Town and completely destroyed it and turned it into ruins.
When Maori learned about this at the time, he just felt as if his opportunity had come.
As for how many compatriots in Osaka Commercial Town those foreigners have killed, he will not consider these things.
He just thought that these foreigners bombarded Osaka Commercial Town, and the shogunate would definitely respond to this.
And if these foreigners want to come to Japan, they must have sea ships.
Since there are sea ships, then to deal with these people, we need a navy.
And I am not a naval general.
Ha ha!
The military exploits delivered to your door are nothing but opportunities.
Mao Lilongzao became excited at that time.
At that time, he was afraid that these foreigners would retreat quickly after bombarding Osaka Commercial Town.
When the time comes, I won¡¯t be able to catch up even if I want to.
¡°But it¡¯s hard to imagine, these foreigners don¡¯t know whether they are idiots or fools.
After they bombarded the commercial town of Osaka, not only did they not run away, but they also fought a battle with the Osaka army and defeated the Osaka army of 5,000 people.
Logically speaking, you should run away after this.
No!
Facts have proved that Maoli guessed wrong again.
After defeating the Osaka soldiers, the foreigners did not leave. Instead, they began to set up a temporary camp.
When Ryuzo Maori heard the news, he really didn¡¯t know how he felt at the time.
¡°It can only be said that if these guys don¡¯t run away, then it is their own merits.
¡° Later, when he wanted to persuade Ishida Hiroshi, he didn¡¯t expect that the order from Ishida Hiroshi had already been issued.
The shogunate asked itself to mobilize its navy, then assemble it from the sea off Osaka, and then attack the foreign fleets. It is best to annihilate them all so that the foreigners on the shore have no way out.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????
Isn¡¯t this what Maori Longzao dreams of?
When he heard this order, Maori Ryuzo was so excited that he was beyond words.
??In this era, being a famous person is the way out, but being a general has no way out.
And especially for the Japanese country that has become war-free, it is very difficult to become a daimyo again.
Therefore, Mao Lilongzao cherishes this opportunity to make a comeback.
Of course, the messenger who conveyed the order still said something else to Maori Ryuzo in a very cryptic way.
This statement is very simple. The person who gave the Maori family this opportunity to turn around was the general¡¯s wife Raiko.
Therefore, the messenger told him that he must remember who gave him the opportunity to stand up, and also asked him to know who he should be loyal to in the future.
Mao Lilongzao is not a fool.
Of course he knew what the messenger meant by saying such things to him, and he, Maori Longzao, had to accept the other party's meaning.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ¡°
Therefore, at that time, Maorilong made it very clear. He categorically expressed his goodwill acceptance of Lailaizi to the envoy and promised that he would be loyal to Lailaizi.
Maori Ryuuzou is not afraid that the general will test him, because the messenger who conveys the order to him is Raiko's weird father Takeuchi Jin.
For this strange old man, Mori Ryuzo, who is a military commander directly under the shogunate, is very familiar with him.
So, he knew that this was definitely not a test by the general.
¡°Furthermore, even if it¡¯s a test, it¡¯s impossible to let this guy Takeuchi Jin do it.
Boom!
Not far from his flagship, a water column was set off again.
The rumbling sound of the cannon pulled Maori Ryuzao out of his dazed state.
To be honest, he originally thought that this errand would be easy to complete, but when he fought with these foreigners, he immediately discovered that these enemies were not easy to deal with.
