Chapter 166 Little Japan, take a look at Ben Daming's Guan Wang Knife for killing chickens! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
In the seventh year of Taiping, the first day of May.

In Japan, in the waters near the Izu Peninsula, a huge fleet is heading north at a speed of about 12 knots on the ocean five to ten nautical miles from the coast of Japan.

The huge lineup of this fleet has reached the point of appalling!There are a total of 10 Hongwu-class battleships, 10 Prince-class battleships, 10 Guogong-class armored cruisers, 20 Lushun-class cruisers, 20 Ningyuan-class cruisers, 20 Chongming Island-class cruisers, 40 Xinchang-class destroyers, 6 Fast supply ships, 6 fast coal carriers, 2 fast medical ships, 10 fast troop carriers.

There are a total of 154 ships, and the billowing smoke almost covers the sky. There are also a total of 120 Dragon III airships in the sky.Such a spectacular scene made the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy on the deck and inside the airship, as well as the officers and soldiers of the army on the troop carrier very excited.These 142 ships are the capital of the three major fleets of the Ming Navy, the Southern Ocean, the Northern Ocean, and the local coastal waters. More than 120% of the capital ships and cruisers of the three major fleets have come. [-] airships.What makes these navy and army officers and soldiers even more excited is that what they are going to perform this time is not an exercise or a peaceful cruise mission, but a crushing war!
This is the first war that the Ming Empire has waged independently since the death of King Zhuge Wuzhong!And the enemy of Ming Dynasty in this war is only the evil, weak, and ignorant Japanese traitors.

During the emergency training before dispatching troops, all officers and soldiers of the Ming army and navy had been told that they were not going to invade Japan, but to maintain stability and collective security in East Asia, to kill the Japanese pirate problem in its infancy, and to To prevent Japan from falling into an endless civil war, in order to prevent the Western colonists who coveted the wealth of East Asia from carrying out colonial expansion based on Nagasaki, Japan, they had to take actions to help Japan counter the rebellion.

And this action will also be invited by the Emperor of Japan or (maybe "and") the Edo Shogunate!
And after successfully helping Japan to suppress the rebellion and eradicating the Japanese pirates and Xiyi running dogs entrenched in Nagasaki, the Ming army will withdraw immediately and will not station on Japanese soil, let alone use this as an excuse to occupy Japan. In short, in this military operation, Da Ming is definitely the side of justice, and will definitely be the side that wins.

As for why the Grand Fleet did not go straight to Nagasaki, but ran out of Edo Bay, it was of course to accept the review of the shogunate Tokugawa Iezari!Let Tokugawa Jiaqi see the strength of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and let him know that justice lies in Ming Dynasty!
However, in the flagship Hongwu Emperor, Zhuge Weiyong, who served as the chief admiral of this temporarily formed "Japanese Aid Fleet", was a little nervous. Standing in front of a map of Japan's coastal defense deployment, he was even a little restless.

Well, because China's coastal defense, especially the coastal defense of Edo Bay is still very stable.

Although Daming has always been unwilling to accept Japan as a dog, the Tokugawa shogunate who ruled Japan has always felt very good about itself. In order not to be the lackey of Daming, the Tokugawa shogunate worked hard to carry out the Mingwu Movement of the founding of the country in an attempt to increase national power; at the same time, it was working hard to develop the navy, army, and military industry. It was still in Edo, Nagasaki, and Osaka A large number of forts were built around the three important seaports of Japan to prevent "white ships from attacking".

According to intelligence, Japan's Tokugawa shogunate also introduced the technology of 11-inch rear-mounted howitzers from the United Kingdom, and manufactured more than 300 guns in total, all of which were placed around the ports of Nagasaki, Osaka, and Edo.Although this kind of howitzer has a short range and poor accuracy, it is an 11-inch cannonball after all. Even if it is a Hongwu Emperor class, it can't stand it!
If Zhuge Weidao can't persuade Tokugawa Jiaqi to surrender with his three-inch tongue, then the next battle will be difficult to fight!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weiyong asked in a low voice: "Has the Lushun arrived at Hayakawa Port?"

A staff officer of the "Japanese Aid Fleet", Zhuge, who is also of the "Wei" generation, immediately took the question and replied in a low voice: "Reporting to the admiral, the Lushun has arrived at Hayakawa Port before [-] noon today. The eighth brother should have entered Odawara Castle by now and met General Tokugawa."

Zhuge Weiyong nodded, and muttered in a low voice: "If General Tokugawa sees our fleet, he should understand our Ming's kindness, right?"

"Yes, definitely!"

"This, this, is this going to destroy the Tokugawa family?"

Tokugawa Iezai stood in the Honmaru of Odawara Castle, looking at the hundreds of warships spreading out on the sea and the hundreds of airships in the sky, he was so frightened that he could barely speak.

He rushed from Edo Castle to Odawara Castle after he learned that the large fleet of the Ming Navy came to Japan with good intentions to help the Tokugawa Shogunate suppress the thieves, and that Zhuge Weidao wanted to have a meeting with him in Odawara Castle— —He also wanted to see Daming's kindness with his own eyes!

It was only after looking at it that he realized Daming's kindness. It was really unbearable!
This is no longer killing chickens with a ox knife, but carrying an 82-jin Qinglong Yanyue knife to kill chickens. This chicken sees such a big knife, how desperate it must be!
And Tokugawa Jiaqi is now the chicken who saw Qinglong Yanyue Dao!

"Master Gongfang, please don't, don't worry. The navy of the Ming Empire is not here to destroy our country of Japan, they are here to help us!"

The person who was trembling and talking was the royal businessman of the Tokugawa family, the big boss of Edo Ginza, and also the old man of Zhuge Weidao, Dahei Chang.This big black is often dressed as a warrior now, and he has shaved his head for a month, standing beside the general with a sad face.

His daughter Da Hei Kong, now named De Chuan Kong, stood on the other side of the general, looking at the large fleet on the sea, her pink face was also full of inexplicable surprise-what did the Ming court want to do?Do you want Daozi to be Japan's general conquering barbarians?
Thinking of this, she looked at her cheap father, Tokugawa Ieqi, and then helped her own father and said: "Father, please rest assured, my daughter will protect the Tokugawa shogunate at all costs, and will never let Dong The inheritance according to the great power is cut off in the hands of our generation!"

Are you here to protect? Your generation?Why does this sound so awkward to you?
Just when Tokugawa Jiaqi felt that his cheap daughter could not speak, a burst of hurried footsteps came in from outside the castle tower of Odawara Castle, followed by Tokugawa Qi Zhao's voice: "Gongfang, Mr. Gongfang , Zhuge Daozi has arrived outside Odawara City."

"He, he's here?" Tokugawa Jiaqi hurriedly said, "Then, let's invite him to the city!"

"Going up to the city now?" Tokugawa Qizhao was stunned, "Master Gongfang, Zhuge Daozi has not yet mastered the etiquette of audience."

The Tokugawa shogunate was still very particular about red tape, and it also had certain requirements for foreign envoys who met with them. Therefore, envoys who visited Edo for the first time would receive some training so that they would not be too "polite".

"No, there's no need." Tokugawa Jiaqi raised his hand and pointed to the fleet and airship fleet on the sea outside and in the sky, "This is the etiquette of an audience. This is the most solemn etiquette of an audience! Go and invite Duke Zhuge to the city!" "

Well, Zhuge Weidao is now "Duke Zhuge"!

It seems that this Japanese general is still a little timid!

Duke Zhuge Weidao was dressed in a feather fan scarf at this time, standing outside this famous Warring States city that had witnessed the glory and demise of Gohojo, beside him stood Zheng Guoxian, who had already been awarded the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Ming Army, standing beside him In front of Zheng Guoxian and the shogunate, Okubo Tadao, who is also the lord of the Odawara domain, is really sweating profusely waiting for the general's order. Don't fight!If there is a fight, the Tokugawa family can still carry it, but the Odawara Castle and the Okubo family are completely finished!
