Chapter 760 Daming's Samurai Sword (Fourth Update, please subscribe)
In April 1875, it was the season of cherry blossoms. In previous years, this time was the time for people on the Dongying Islands to enjoy cherry blossoms, but at this time Japan was in the midst of a civil war.

When the New Year was about to pass, although the invasion of the British, American and American animals reduced the attention of the Japanese to the civil war to a certain extent, when the British, American and American animals retreated, the civil war broke out again.

April Fool's Day.

On this day, nearly [-] Daming Expeditionary Forces took a transport ship and under the cover of the fleet, they arrived at the coast of Wakayama.

After the fleet arrived, at exactly twelve noon, the fleet headed by the "Zhenyuan" launched a bombardment of Wakayama.All the warships supporting the landing battle fired a hundred guns at a rate of less than two seconds, shaking the sea like a huge wave.

Every time a gun was fired, there was a bang on the battleship, which caused a wave of turbulence on the ship, and the waves surged all around.

After the first volley of artillery, Wakayama's crude fort was completely destroyed. In front of the [-]-inch cannon, the old-fashioned fort was simply vulnerable, and then there were sporadic shelling.The deafening sound of the thumping cannon was clearly defined again, it sounded like a train flying through the sky, the shrill whistling flying through the air, and then fell behind on the ground, and then, set off a violent wave on the ground. explosion.

Houses collapsed in the explosion.

Some houses burned in the explosion, and clusters of fiery red flames shot up into the sky, reflecting the corner of the coast red.A few cannonballs hit the center of the flame again, so the flame jumped half a sky high, rolling up black and reddish billowing smoke, and straight into the sky.

The artillery fire hit the coast of Wakayama as if it had shoveled off a layer of skin. It was not until this time that the troops began to land on the Yanjin coast on the south side of Wakayama. During the attack, almost all the defenders of the fort on the shore were killed. Even if a few lucky ones survived, the violent explosion of the twelve-inch shells also blew up their hearts and souls, and they all fled in all directions. What resistance.

"As expected of a Heavenly Soldier!"

Standing on the deck, Shanxian Youpeng said in shock after witnessing the shelling.

"Officer Zhao, with Daming's mighty military might, this battle must be won!"

Faced with the compliment from Youpeng in Shan County, Zhao Zhiqiu laughed.

"This is also a good plan made by General Yamagata in the previous battle plan. Use mobile troops to land in the rear of the Tokugawa Army and cooperate with the Nagoya Township, only to be caught in the enemy's front and back, and "attack from the back". This plan is very good..."

This is nothing more than a compliment.

The attack from behind is just outflanking, and Daming is an old expert in this technique, but, on the Japanese side, it was changed to landing in the rear and attacking from the rear.However, unlike the plan formulated by Shanxian County, Daming's plan is to go straight to Huanglong-attack Wakayama, which is the root of Tokugawa Maocheng.

Although the plans of the two are different, the compliments are mutual. After all, in the future, everyone will be ministers in the same palace.

"The general praised it absurdly. Although the plan is good, it can't keep up with the changes!"

When it comes to changes, Yamagata Aritomo, the former Japanese Army Daisuke, felt extremely heavy. He formulated the plan of "back attacking the army", and it was this plan that dragged Japan to a desperate situation.

First, the town of Hiroshima was wiped out by the British navy, and then Britain and the United States invaded Tokyo... Japan!

Perhaps, this is God's will!
Fortunately, now there is a stronger one who has become the ruler of Japan.Even though he knew that Daming was strong, Shanxian Youpeng was still a little curious about how the Ming army fought?
"I just don't know how the general plans to fight next?"

"Without it, it will be destroyed!"

After saying these words, Zhao Zhiqiu, the commander of the special dispatch army who had led troops to Ryukyu more than a year ago, smiled.

"Five days!"

"what?"

"Within five days, defeat Shigeru Tokugawa!"

Faced with such confident words, Shanxian Youpeng was dumbfounded, what, what is he talking about?
five days?

Looking at the Ming army that was going ashore, Shanxian Youpeng specifically reminded.

"Your Excellency, Tokugawa Mojo has more than [-] troops."

"That's just right. With such a superior force, they will definitely attack! Only in this way can we catch them all!"

Before Zhao Zhiqiu finished speaking, a staff officer reported.

"Report sir, the reconnaissance airship has spotted the movements of the Tokugawa army. They have built fortifications around Osaka, which is less than six kilometers from the coast."

"Osaka..."

Zhao Zhiqiu thought about the place name, and then said.

"Telegram Your Majesty, my department will be at..."

Looking at his watch, Zhao Zhiqiu said.

"Tomorrow at [-] o'clock in the morning, we will launch a general attack on Osaka. It is estimated that we will capture it within forty-eight hours!"

What is self-confidence, this is self-confidence.

But for Emperor Zhu, he didn't care about Tokugawa Shigeru's life at all, because this guy——was sure to die.

In addition to Zhao Zhiqiu's special dispatched army transferred from Ryukyu, the Third Army Division, which was accompanied by Emperor Zhu himself, set off from Tokyo and joined the so-called "Tokyo Township" to reinforce the direction of Nagoya, plus Nagoya's defenders, Emperor Zhu invested as many as [-] troops, even if [-] of them were Japanese soldiers, but it was the first time that such a superior force was placed on Daming's side!

When did the Ming Army bully others with its superior numbers?

[-] elites of the Ming Dynasty fought against Tokugawa... It was like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, if it weren't for Emperor Zhu needing a beautiful big victory, or needing to kill a chicken to show the monkeys, so that Japan can see the great Tomorrow's prestige, I'm afraid he wouldn't have punched so hard at all.

When receiving Zhao Zhiqiu's telegram, Emperor Zhu sighed.

"Even if you win, it's still invincible!"

For Tokugawa Shigeru, if he knew that in Daming's eyes, he was just a chicken, he would be so depressed. However, this world is like this. Some people are chickens, and they are born to be killed for monkeys. There are also people who are monkeys.

Chickens have their lives, but what about monkeys?
Monkeys also have a monkey's life.

Shigeru Tokugawa is a chicken, and Moritaka Saigo is a monkey.

It is a monkey that Emperor Zhu determined to tame.

When Zhao Zhiqiu's special dispatched army attacked Osaka, Emperor Zhu was in Tokyo... no, it should be Edo.

There is no more Japan in the world, and of course there is no Tokyo anymore.

Let's call it Edo!

The name is not very good either!
In fact, this is also to take care of the emotions of the local people, otherwise it can be changed to some names such as Zhenwo.

However, since Japan occupied North Korea, it did not change the place names of North Korea to Japanese-style place names.I, Daming, can't even compare to Little Japan in my bearing.

Well, let’s call it Edo.

Admire the cherry blossoms, but there is no drunk orchid, there is no way, after getting used to the big Yangma, the Emperor Zhu really looks down on those Japanese bow legs less than [-] meters, and even feels guilty.

It's better to have long legs of Yanmar!

"Xixiang, what choice do you think your brother will make?"

Facing His Majesty's question, Xixiang said after contemplating for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what choice my brother will make, but Your Majesty, everything Longsheng does is for ordinary nobles, he is right..."

Originally thought of the words "loyalty to the emperor" came to his lips, Xixiang took it back from Dao.

Now that there is no emperor, how can we talk about being loyal to the emperor?

Emperor Zhu didn't care much about Xixiang Congdao's hesitant words.Right now he cares more about this guy Xixiang Takamori, after all, if this guy submits to Daming, then other Japanese samurai will naturally submit to Daming as well.After all, to a certain extent, Takamori Saigo is now the idol of many lower-level Japanese samurai.

"Congdao, go and tell Longsheng that I am going to recruit [-] warriors. His idea can only become a reality here. If he cares about the interests of the low-level gentry, come to Edo to see me!"
