Chapter 801 The Shame Under the Artillery ([-]th update)
In the sea area outside Edo Castle, more than a dozen huge sailing battleships undulate slightly with the waves on the sea surface.The huge hill-like hull and dozens of cold and thick naval guns made the sailors and fishermen of Edo City tremble when they first discovered the arrival of this extremely powerful fleet!
The Beiyang Fleet has become a legend of Megatron Japan!The reason why Chinese merchants were able to run amok on Honshu Island, and built schools, newspaper offices, and banks in Edo Castle, the home of the Tokugawa Shogunate, was because of the support of the Beiyang Fleet!

It's just that the Beiyang Fleet has been moored in the Yokohama Concession recently, so the people in Edo City and the shogunate army have somewhat forgotten their ferocious strength.

Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, stood on the deck of the Daqi, looking at the wall of Edo Castle facing the sea.I believe that the news of the Beiyang Fleet's arrival will soon spread throughout Edo Castle.Let the Shogunate re-experience the fear of being dominated by the Beiyang Fleet!
The Tokugawa shogunate's navy, Anzhai, huddled in a corner of the sea outside Edo City, and did not dare to approach the Beiyang Fleet at all, fearing that it would enter the shelling range of the Beiyang Fleet.

"Compared with them, our warships are like the lights of fireflies, and cannot compete with the sun and the moon." The shogunate navy general sighed when he saw the strength of the Beiyang Fleet from afar.

Their sailors are called sailors, but they can only fight in the sea, which is far from the real naval fleet!Moreover, the Anzhai Ship of the Shogunate Navy is very backward, and the artillery equipped on it cannot be compared with the Beiyang Fleet.When there is a modern gap in technology, it will not be possible for an excellent general or number of people to make up for it.

The news of the arrival of the Beiyang Fleet shocked Edo Castle!A small half of Edo City may be under the artillery fire of the Beiyang Fleet!
"Release them immediately!" After Tokugawa Iemitsu heard that the Beiyang Fleet had arrived in the waters outside Edo Castle, he ignored the plan of Tadaaki Abe and others to lure snakes out of the cave, and announced the release of Dayuer and others in public.

"The shogunate still owes us an apology." Da Yuer and the others did not plan to leave in a hurry.

Speaking of which, the younger brother of Sakai Tadakatsu was the one who caused trouble first. Da Yuer and the others were not at fault, but the shogunate delayed them for two days in vain!

"You have turned Edo Castle upside down, and you still want our shogunate to apologize?" Tokugawa Iemitsu said dissatisfied.

"That's your own fault. I've said it long ago. It's easy to catch us, but let us go? Difficult! Have you ever heard of 'It's easier to ask God than to send God away'?" Said the northern man who beat Tadaki Sakai.

"How do you want us to apologize?" Tokugawa Iemitsu swallowed his anger.

"Sakai Tadakichi has been disabled, unable to get up, and you, as the head of his family, should bow and apologize to our eldest lady in front of all the residents of Edo Castle." The northern man said.

"You...!" Nobuzuna Matsudaira was furious when he saw that Da Yuer and the others wanted to make the supreme ruler of Japan, the shogun, bow and apologize to a woman.

Tokugawa Iemitsu reached out his hand to stop Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and said to Dayuer: "It's good that Sakai Tadakatsu is a retainer of our Tokugawa family, but he is Sakai Tadakatsu's younger brother. Can Sakai Tadakatsu apologize to the girl on his behalf?"

"Whatever you want." Da Yuer said coldly, "We Chinese people don't waste our time on such frivolous things."

Tokugawa Iemitsu felt humiliated. He had put down his dignity so much that he asked his subordinates to apologize to a woman in her early twenties, but the other party still called it a nonsense...

Damn it, you have to be patient!Aggrieved Tokugawa Iemitsu thought of the Beiyang Fleet moored outside Edo Castle, and forced a smile: "I will order my samurai to inform the people and let them gather here, and then Sakai Tadakatsu will apologize to you in front of everyone. .”

The news that the important minister of the shogunate, Tadakatsu Sakai, wanted to make a public apology to the Chinese woman involved in the beating incident spread quickly in Edo Castle!Because Sakai Tadakatsu took the initiative to apologize, it is almost possible to confirm the crime of Sakai Tadakichi.

For a while, Matsudaira Nobuzuna's mansion was crowded with people, all of whom came to see the shogunate to apologize to a young woman on behalf of his younger brother!

Tadakatsu Sakai was nearly fifty years old, and seeing more and more people watching, his old face couldn't help turning red.His younger brother was beaten and disabled, and he had to apologize to the culprit, which was a great shame to him!Even when Zheng Zhilong forced him to sign the "Edo Treaty" that sold Yokohama Port, Tadakatsu Sakai didn't feel so ashamed now!
Tokugawa Ieko stood in the middle leaning on his sword, and also felt his cheeks burning.As the shogun, let his important ministers apologize to a woman. If the ancestor Tokugawa Ieyasu came back to life, he would be so angry that he would slap him on the face!

"The Sakai Tadakichi incident has been found out, everything is Sakai Tadakichi's own fault! He caused this Chinese girl to be arrested innocently, and should apologize to this girl, but her legs and feet are disabled, so I asked his brother Sakai Tadakatsu to apologize on his behalf! This matter will also come to an end, and the subjects must not continue to make trouble!" Tokugawa Iemitsu announced sharply.

The Tokugawa shogunate is still very prestigious in Edo Castle. After Tokugawa Iemitsu announced, it is basically difficult for Edo Castle to have another riot in a short period of time.

But just the announcement is not enough, the apology is still to be apologized!
Sakai Tadakatsu took heavy steps, walked in front of Da Yuer with difficulty, and bowed deeply: "I, Sakai Tadakatsu, replace my stupid brother, Sakai Tadakatsu, and express my sincere apologies to you!"

"Understood, let's go." Da Yu'er responded casually, and left with a few people.

Wow!The people of Edo Castle who were watching were in an uproar!The shogunate's serious apology is nothing in front of the other party, and the other party doesn't even pay attention to it!

Sakai Tadakatsu was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, he felt his heart beating faster, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

"Sakai-kun, are you alright!?" Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Abe Tadaaki and others rushed to rescue Sakai Tadakatsu.

This time the shogunate slapped itself in the face. Although the anger of the residents of Edo Castle was calmed down a little, their reputation among the residents began to plummet.

An "ordinary" Chinese woman simply looked down on the important ministers of the shogunate, and why couldn't commoners like them do this?
Tanaka Chengichi watched with enthusiasm in the crowd.He knew that it was not Dayuer himself who made the shogunate so humble, but the huge national power behind Dayuer, the Beiyang Fleet patrolling the waters outside Edo City!
"We need to speed up the assassination." Tanaka Chengyi muttered to himself, he couldn't wait to overthrow the shogunate, and also wanted to join the powerful Kyushu Army and enjoy such glory together!
