Chapter 153 Emperor, we are here to help you get rid of barbarians! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Nagasaki's terrain is indeed very dangerous. There are islands in the front and mountains in the back. There are at least ten forts that are arranged quite secretly, some of which are also arranged on the reverse slope behind the mountain. There is no way for naval guns to attack They destroy!"

"According to reliable information, the artillery unit under Nagasaki's administration has 280 100mm howitzers alone. These artillery are heavy-duty howitzers that can be moved. They can not only be used to attack sea targets, but also to support land forces. battle!"

"It seems that there are three sailing ships of the East India Company on the wharf of Nagasaki Port, all of which are loaded with munitions, right? This is a sailing ship with a full load of over [-] tons. How can it be several thousand tons?"

"According to intelligence, these sailboats left India only after the Battle of Peshawar, and it is likely that machine guns and barbed wire were installed on board."

"How can barbed wire be used in the terrain of Nagasaki? As long as a machine gun is set up on a high place, one man can guard the gate, and Wanfu can't open it."

"It's unrealistic to attack by force. Let's use airships to throw incendiary bombs and bombs. Most of the buildings in Nagasaki are made of wood, so they should be easy to ignite. Once the fire is completely burned, tell them to dare to light up again!"

"We can also besiege Nagasaki. As long as we land at Karatsu and advance to Saga, we can complete the land blockade around Nagasaki. At the same time, the navy can lay mines in the waters near Nagasaki and the exit of Omura Bay to block it from the sea. Nagasaki, not a single grain of rice is allowed to be transported in, and this group of Japanese pirates who don’t know the heights of heaven and earth will starve to death!”

In the command tower of the Hanwu Emperor, the people who are talking about how to deal with the Japanese pirates in Nagasaki are of course military experts from the Combat Training Bureau of the Army Staff Headquarters. Half of them are the children of Miao Zhenggenhong's eight great families, including Zhuge Weidao's "good friend" Zheng Guoxian, Mu Zhongjun who brought an army expert to Peshawar to gain experience last time, and Zhuge who is a descendant of his family. Those who called Zhuge Weimin also included Liu Xuanwu from the royal family of Liu Shu and Li Tieshan from the royal family of Li Kui.They are all masters who are familiar with "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Napoleon's Art of War" (not written by Napoleon, but written by an admirer of Napoleon, Zhuge Youlun of Zhuge's family) and "On War".It's just a little cowardly. I'm afraid of death, and I don't want to attack Nagasaki by force, so I want to set fire and blockade.

Zhuge Weidao was also in the command tower of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this time. He had just been promoted from lieutenant colonel to captain of the navy—this was a frontline promotion, and seniority was not considered at all.All naval officers and soldiers who participated in the Kii naval battle were promoted within one month after the war.Formation admiral Li Chenghui was promoted to major general, and has already served as the admiral of the first division (battleship formation) of the Beiyang Fleet and the captain of the Hanwu Great Emperor!Guan Tianpei, who directed the bombing in the air, was promoted to lieutenant general and secured the position of admiral of the aviation force.

After Zhuge Weidao was promoted to colonel, he got the position of admiral of the second division (cruiser division) of the Beiyang Fleet, and at the same time he still served as the captain of the Lushun.However, he was not on board the Lushun today. Instead, he accompanied Lieutenant General Liu Deyi, the admiral of the Beiyang Fleet, and accompanied the senior officers of the Naval Aviation and Army to inspect the battlefield outside Nagasaki Port.

Zhuge Weidao, who has participated in two battles, accumulated a lot of war experience, and taught himself a lot of military expertise under the guidance of Wang Wen, couldn't help but frown a little after hearing the words of these army elites.

It is right to set fire and blockade, Zhuge Weidao also planned this way before.

However, the encirclement should not be too large. According to the method of these army experts, the Tangjin Landing was pushed to Saga Castle, and a blockade line of more than 30 kilometers was drawn. The territory inside the encirclement was several thousand square kilometers!This has to be around until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon to be around to death?

Moreover, the encirclement is too large, and the Japanese pirates in the circle have more room to move around.Of course, Nagasaki City can be burnt to the ground, but there are thousands of square kilometers in the Nagasaki encirclement, and there are plenty of places for those Japanese pirates to hide.

In addition, why did no one of these army elites consider the righteousness of setting fire and starving?
Why did Ming come to Japan to kill and set fire?It is impossible for a country with such a sense of justice as Ming Dynasty to invade Japan!And it is impossible to start a war in the name of "receiving dogs"!
Just as he thought of this, someone finally mentioned the matter of righteousness.

"The son once said that if the name is not correct, the words will not go well; if the words don't go well, nothing will happen. Dajin Daoguang also used the name of banning pornography and resisting British aid in Afghanistan when he used troops in Afghanistan, so the lone army that went deep into Peshawar can We have the support of the local people. And what name can we use against Japan? We can set fire to Nagasaki with the words of the ronin occupying Nagasaki? Isn’t that too outrageous?”

Zhuge Weidao looked back at the person who spoke. It turned out to be his brother of the same clan, Zhuge Weimin, ranked 74. He is an army elite of Zhuge's family. He was a major general before he was 40 years old. The director of the bureau is even older than Mu Zhongjun of the Mu family.

He also saw Zhuge Weidao's eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Eighteenth Military Division, what name do you think we should use?"

"Brother 74," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "one of Japan's righteous titles is the emperor, and the other is the general. Now the Japanese pirates in Nagasaki are playing the banner of respecting the king, so naturally they want to borrow the title of the emperor. In fact, we can also fight with They are vying for the emperor, and if the emperor can stand on our side, then the victory is sure. As for what name to use, I think it can be used! Our Ming Dynasty is "Xia", and the white ghosts are barbarians. The ronin in Nagasaki colluded with the white ghosts To oppose our Great Ming is to sell Japan to the Yingyi white ghosts, as cannon fodder to oppose our Chinese gods, it is a Japanese traitor!

As long as we hold the Emperor, we will be justified in setting fire to Nagasaki! "

"What about the general of Edo?" Zhuge Weimin asked.

"The general is strong, but the emperor is weak," said Zhuge Weidao, "It is the best policy to support the weak and suppress the strong!"

Zhuge Weimin nodded with a smile, and said to Mu Zhongjun, "How is it?"

Mu Zhongjun smiled, "The Zhuge family's military adviser really deserves its reputation. But there must be someone from the general's side to appease, and the Tokugawa family cannot be pushed to Nagasaki."

After saying this, he watched Zhuge Weidao together with Zhuge Weimin, Guan Tianpei and Beiyang Fleet Admiral Liu Deyi.

"I'll lobby the general!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "Who will go to the emperor?"

"I'll go," Zheng Guoxian said with a smile, "the Japanese emperor and my sister are best friends, and I know her too, so I'll just go to Kyoto!"

"My lord, Daming's fleet has withdrawn!"

In the fortress on the Nagasaki Peninsula, with the cry of Cyclops Xixiang, the people on the walls of the fortress finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they also know that they have enough artillery in their hands to resist the frontal attack of the Ming fleet, but in theory, the Sovereign Class and Unyielding Class of Great Britain can also sink the two Lushun Classes!
But the result?

Qiliang Shimadzu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Xixiang, "Xixiang, when can our airship team be dispatched?"

The Mito vassals in the airship team of the Tokugawa shogunate have now also collectively rebelled, and they followed Shimadzu Qiliang to Nagasaki in an airship.

However, the direct shogunate in the airship team did not follow, so the personnel were insufficient, and the airship ground support did not follow, so the airship team had no way to immediately form a combat force.Fortunately, among the personnel brought by Elliott was the instructor of the airship unit.

So Shimazu Qiliang ordered his confidant Xixiang to join the airship team with a group of samurai from the Haitao team, ready to learn how to fly, and to steal a handful of Daming's Jueying Island base.

"My lord, are we going to attack soon?" Xixiang was stunned for a moment, "They haven't launched an attack on us yet."

Shimadzu Qiliang shook his head: "They are Daming! If we let them strike first, do we still have a chance to fight back? So we must strike first!"

Saigo Yoshihei Takamori frowned, and asked again: "Then shall we ask His Majesty the Emperor to declare war on Ming Dynasty?"

"No, there is no need." Shimadzu Qiliang said, "I should not leave the problem to His Majesty the Emperor. Besides, His Majesty and Empress Dowager Zheng of Daming are close friends in the boudoir!"

"Hay!"
