Chapter 1085 Excuses
"Catch them."

Ishikawa Shiro stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the looming shadow of the boat in the darkness ahead, showing a ferocious smile.

He hated Xia people very much.

His elder brother, Saburo Ishikawa, died under Xia Guo's artillery in the Battle of Tsushima Sea.

He swore a poisonous oath before his brother's spirit, and he must avenge him.

This time he was sent to patrol the sea of ​​Shimabara, and he was more active than anyone else.

Huang Tian paid off, he finally bumped into the sneaky Xia Kingdom ship.

As long as these evildoers are captured and the weapons on board are seized, Japan will be invincible.

The tense pursuit began.

Xia Guo's ships rushed left and right, but they still couldn't get out of the encirclement of Dongpu warships.

Once the sea became lively, the warships of the Satsuma clan circled around from all directions.

The successive collisions slowed down the speed of Xia Kingdom's merchant ships, and the situation reached an extreme crisis.

"Baga! Stop the boat quickly, or you will be killed."

The yelling of the Dongying people sounded nearby, but the Xia people on the merchant ship turned a deaf ear to it and just wanted to speed up.

Seeing Xia Guo's merchant ships resist in a corner, the Dongying people were so angry that they simply ran into them head-on with their boats.

Amidst the tragic bang, Xia Guo's ship was finally unable to move.

The Dongying people howled excitedly and threw out their claws one after another, making it impossible for the two ships to separate.

Many people have already drawn out their sabers, ready to jump over at any time.

On Xia Guo's ship, the person in charge knew that the ending had been decided.

He looked at his companion.

"Stop them, even if we die, the country will avenge us."

The other Xia people were also fearless, drew their weapons and rushed to the bow.

And the person in charge wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the torch casually, turned around and rushed into the cabin.

The warriors of Dongying jumped up one after another, wanting to land on Xia Guo's boat.

They were sure that with their numerical advantage, they would be able to capture these Xia people.

But they who were still in the air suddenly opened their eyes wide.

Xia Guo's boat shook violently, and then broke into two knots.

At the break, the monstrous flames and terrifying air currents swept everything around.

Not only Xia Guo's ships, but also the Dongpu warships gathered around them were all torn apart.

In just a few seconds, an incomparably huge ball of fire rose above the entire surface of the sea, illuminating the area within a hundred meters like daylight.

Ishikawa Shiro stood at the bow of the ship in a daze, looking at the Xia Guo merchant ship that was destroyed in the explosion, he instinctively felt something was wrong.

As it turned out, his feelings were not wrong at all.

Shen Tingyang rushed into the Nagasaki Prison Office like an angry lion.

"My lord, the merchant ship of our Xia country was attacked by your navy, and all the people on board were killed. Dongying must give an answer."

Nao Sakakibara also knew what happened last night.

"My Dongying navy is just patrolling the water surface, chasing down criminals. Does Mr. Shen mean that you businessmen from Xia Kingdom are doing shady things?"

Shen Tingyang's pupils were bloodshot.

"That is a serious merchant ship of our Xia Kingdom, but now it has been attacked by the Dongying Navy. If we don't give an answer, our Xia Kingdom will definitely not let it go."

Sakakibara was offended by Shen Tingyang many times, and couldn't bear it any longer.

"That's the villain who colluded with the Shimahara mob. What Mr. Shen said, is it an admission of this?"

Shen Tingyang completely ignored the Dongying warriors around him, and directly approached Sakakibara.

"Do you have any evidence? You don't have any. But your Dongying navy attacked our Xia Kingdom merchant ship with convincing evidence. All the consequences will be borne by you, Dongying."

Sakakibara had never seen such an open-eyed and nonsense person, and he was equally furious.

"Since he is a serious businessman from the Xia Kingdom, why did he appear in the sea off Shimabara?"

He thought that this question could confuse Shen Tingyang.

But he didn't expect the other party's answer to be so smooth.

"The night is dark and the wind is high, and you can't tell the direction. It's normal for our Xia Kingdom's merchant ship to get lost. Don't change the subject, Mr. Feng Xing. You must hand over the murderer and pay compensation within three days. Otherwise, there will be unbearable happened."

Shen Ting walked away, leaving only Sakakibara who was messed up in the wind.

He never thought about why the humble and polite Chinese people in the legend would become so domineering, even unreasonable.

But he knew that things were getting worse.

He didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately sent someone to inform Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Tokugawa Iemitsu of the situation.

Exactly how Xia Guo would respond also made him tense up.

It's just that no one in Dongying thought that Xia Guo's reaction would be so fierce and so fast.

"This is a breach of the agreement, and it is also a provocation to Xia Guo. The majesty of Xia Guo cannot be insulted, and Dongying must pay a heavy price."

In Busan Port, Zhang Keda drew his sword out of its sheath and expressed his attitude.

Like him, the North Sea Fleet is full of fighting spirit.

And Bai Xiaoqi, who was far away in Hanyang, also made a decision.

"Order the [-]th Division to take over the defense area of ​​the [-]st Marine Division. The [-]st Marine Division will immediately go south and assemble in Busan, ready to go into battle at any time."

The advantages under the military region system were quickly brought into play.

While reporting to the center, the North Korean military region has already come up with a solution.

The North Sea Fleet used all its warships, crossed the Tsushima Strait, and rushed into the territory of Japan.

Off the coast of Shimabara.

The Satsuma Navy navy that was still cruising here encountered the North Sea Fleet before they could react.

"Sink them."

As soon as they met, Zhang Keda took the most drastic measures.

Amidst the rumbling cannons, the warships of the Satsuma clan's navy who were caught off guard were smashed into pieces one after another and drifted in the turbulent sea water.

Those Japanese soldiers who fell into the water struggled desperately to survive.

The North Sea Fleet turned a blind eye, as if a warship in a city was crushing over their heads.

The sudden change in the situation completely shocked Dongpu.

Sakakibara ran to meet Shen Tingyang like his tail was on fire.

"Master Shen, what you Xia Guo did is an unwarranted invasion of Dongpu. Please stop immediately, otherwise we will never sit idly by."

Shen Tingyang sneered.

"Hand over the murderer who attacked our merchants in Xia Kingdom. In addition, in view of your breach of the agreement, the relevant sea areas will be patrolled by our Xia Kingdom Navy from now on to ensure safety."

Sakakibara was dripping with cold sweat.

"You guys are being immoral. I, Dongpu, will never give in."

Before the words were finished, someone outside suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"My lord, warships, a lot of warships. Xia Guo's warships, they occupied the pier."

Sakakibara's eyes darkened, and then he thought of something.Regardless of negotiating with Shen Tingyang, he rushed to the port.

What he saw was that the dark Xia Guo warships had filled the bay of Nagasaki.Group after group of Xia soldiers had already landed and occupied all the important places.

All warships flying the flag of the shogunate were all seized by the Xia State Navy.

All Dongying people wearing armor and weapons were also arrested.

Nagasaki, has lost control.

Sakakibara went limp all over, feeling powerless.

Faced with this situation, the only thing left for him is endless sorrow.

In front of Xia Guo, Dongpu was so fragile.

For the next development of the situation, all he could see was boundless darkness.
