Chapter 480

: Seize the opportunity well

Author: The beggar

: Seize the opportunity well

The navy moved in, and the mighty warships painted in black entered the port. Even the sails were black with gold patterns. Coupled with the huge hull of the treasure ship and the momentum of victory, the merchant ships on both sides were Everyone watching was amazed.

People like the Portuguese and the Dutch are just looking at the fun.

Although some of their ships participated in the attack on Black Flag, most of them did not wade into the murky waters.

The people of Ming Dynasty were a little afraid when they saw it.

They didn't know the details, but they knew the news that the Black Flag Navy rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the Tatar navy in their eyes has entered Nagasaki Port, it may affect the activities of Ming people and overseas Chinese there, and may even put their lives in danger.

The local Japanese were preparing to defend Nagasaki Port from top to bottom, while praying for the divine wind to come, hoping that when the Black Flag Navy landed in Nagasaki Port, the divine wind would be powerful and flown to the Black Flag Navy.

For this reason, some Ming people are also praying.

Even if the Tatar navy doesn't kill people, they do make people shave their heads! It is said that if you don't shave your hair in the north, you will die!

But this is ultimately a fantasy.

The Black Flag Navy sailed into the harbor and dropped the anchor safely.

Before that, Navy Commander Urok Shokyo Kawaguchi Yuichi had already sailed his small treasure ship to the dock and started negotiating with the officials of Nagasaki Port.

Nagasaki Minato Castle also rushed over in a hurry.

Although it is a bit humble, since Nagasaki itself has no lords, it is mostly autonomous, so the locals hope to resolve the issue peacefully with the Black Flag Navy.

"Needless to say! The Admiral requires all armed soldiers in the port to lay down their weapons. All defenses inside the port must be lifted. All soldiers, samurai, including ronin samurai in the port must exit the port city when our navy lands! After that, Nagasaki Port will be temporarily managed by the Black Flag Navy until the Hizen Clan and the Japanese shogunate come to negotiate with the Black Flag Navy!"

Kawaguchi Yuichi gave orders in front of Jodai.

But Jodai could only be submissive, nodding and bowing.

The Black Flag Navy was heading towards the port of Nagasaki. Naturally, they were not friendly, so Jodai had already asked for help from the surrounding feudal lords before that.

They all say they are coming, but in fact it is as if they are not coming.

They are all entrenched around Nagasaki Port and have a lot of troops, more than 5,000 in total.

They all looked at the Nagasaki Port and watched the Black Flag Navy enter the port.

God knows what the daimyo behind these armies will do after the Black Flag Navy lands.

Jodai nodded and bowed with a wry smile, and asked Kawaguchi Yuichi to let them discuss it. There was no daimyo in the city, and the decision required many officials from the city's enforcement office to discuss together. He hoped that the Black Flag Navy would give them some time to discuss if they did not resist. After all, dismantling the city's defenses is not a trivial matter, and it cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Kawaguchi Yuichi was displeased, but he came to negotiate on behalf of Lin Wang, so he still conveyed the news to Lin Wang.

Lin Wang waved his hand after hearing this.

Right.

He and Sun Qin were standing on the deck chatting and looking at the scenery.

After all, Liaodong had only gained momentum for two or three years, and maritime trade had only just begun. The largest port, Gaizhou Port, was mostly used as a military port and the home port of the Black Flag Navy, and commercial activities were only incidental.

Nagasaki Port has been Japan's foreign trade port for eighty years, and now it is Japan's only foreign trade port. Tsushima Island is nominally limited to trade with North Korea.

The two of them have never been to Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, so the prosperity of the seaport here is something Lin Wang and Sun Qin have never seen before in their lives.

"There are so many ships. There is also a small city built on the sea?"

"Sir, that is Dejima. The shogunate has placed all the Portuguese and Dutch people in Dejima, and they are not allowed to gather at will in Nagasaki Port."

Next to me, Shigenobu Matsuura and his son Souji were already very skilled at the job of tour guides.

"Oh? That's a good idea."

Lin Wang was generous in his praise.

The Manchus, Koreans, and Japanese are fine, but a lot of those Portuguese, Dutch, and people have been running to Liaodong recently. Instead of letting them keep shouting for His Majesty's mercy, it would be better to be like the Japanese.

Find an open place on the sea and build a desert island surrounded by sea for them to live in.

While watching, a ship approached the Black Flag Navy.

But it was a merchant ship from Liaodong, under the command of Black Flag, who wanted to come to pay his respects.

Lin Wang naturally waved his hand and sent him away.

Half an hour later, Nagasaki Port asked Kuai Ma outside the city for help to no avail, but did not choose to drive some concentric or fantou and ronin out of the city.

Jodai turned his back on the spot and chose to leave Kawaguchi Yuichi, who had gone to negotiate, to hang out at the dock. While gathering all the dossiers and ronin in the city, he also recruited a large number of merchants with armed escorts in the city. He promised many benefits afterwards and encouraged the civilians in the city to also participate. resistance.

Nagasaki is the country's only large port to the outside world and has a large population in settlements.

Soon, Jodai gathered nearly five to six thousand people in the city, running continuously in the streets of the city. Under the command of some warriors, they built street defenses. They also mobilized a lot of artillery and gathered them to wait for call.

At the same time, Jodai sent a message for the last time to many daimyo samurai who were watching in the distance outside the city.

'I am not a feudal lord, nor a daimyo. I am just a bannerman under the shogun. I am fortunate enough to be designated as Nagasaki Castle. When barbarians invade, I can only repay the shogunate by fighting to the death. You are the feudal lords who have ruled Kyushu for generations. If you are in Nagasaki Sit outside the city and watch me fight with the savages. No matter whether I win or lose the battle, you will not have the honor of a warrior, and you will definitely be punished by the General.'

At the same time as this letter was sent, many merchants in the city realized what was going on, stopped staying near the dock, and hurriedly retreated to the city.

The black flag merchant ships that had been sent away before came close to the navy again. It turned out that the ships around the bay saw that they could get close to the black flag navy, so they came to ask for help.

It is hoped that the Black Flag Navy will allow them to move around the edge of the bay and slowly sail out of the harbor.

Avoid hurting innocent people in a fight later.

Lin Wang, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, was already impatient, but now he also felt the taste.

"His grandma actually fooled us into coming here!?"

Although I can't help but get angry.

However, Lin Wang still ordered the Black Flag Navy to turn the ship around and exit the bay.

The place is too small to display.

Kawaguchi Yuichi, who was still at the dock, naturally noticed something was wrong. After receiving the instructions from Lin Wang brought by the boat, he told a man who stayed at the dock to talk to him: "Nagasaki Castle really refuses to execute the admiral. An order from my lord?"

The samurai and Riki saw the pity in Kawaguchi Yu's eyes, and gritted their teeth angrily: "There are 20,000 samurai sent by many daimyo in Hizen outside the city to support! Hundreds of artillery have also been mobilized in the city!"

Yuichi Kawaguchi waved his hands to express that he didn't want to hear any more: "You have failed the goodwill of the Admiral, and you will pay a heavy price later."

"Then don't even think about leaving!"

"Bang!"

The samurai roared! Tongxin behind him suddenly took out a short musket and was about to shoot! Unexpectedly, it was Kawaguchi Yuichi who fired first!

After Ashigaru was knocked down, Kawaguchi Yuichi aimed the double-barreled matchlock gun modeled after the Dragon Roar gun at the samurai.

"For the sake of being a Yamato, I will let you go back and tell that jodai that you still have a chance."
