Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 481 Burning the City
The opportunity is fleeting.

And Kawaguchi Yuichi did not win the so-called opportunity.

The opportunity for Nagasaki Port changed from the preparation time given by the black banner navy division of the city to the delayed preparation time, and the opportunity was gone.

The Black Banner sailors moved.

The merchant ships on both sides of the bay could not immediately know the status of the negotiations between Nagasaki Port and Black Flag. They thought that Nagasaki Port City and Black Flag had reached a settlement, and the navy was about to retreat.

But those with sharp eyes, or those with binoculars peeped secretly, and then their bodies couldn't help shivering.

"He, they took off the gun coats of the cannons on the warship!"

"The Tartar navy is going to attack Nagasaki!"

"Let the boat in front go! Go! Yes! Yes! Where are those Black Banner people!?"

Soon, the news that the Black Flag Navy entered the fighting state spread on many ships in the bay!

In order to avoid the battle, many sea-going ships fled indiscriminately!But some armed ships dare not move lightly!We can only let the black flag ship come to talk again, willing to offer silver to get the ship to move, and leave the battlefield.

"Don't move lightly, my navy doesn't attack merchant ships, but if merchant ships dare to approach, they will be destroyed!"

Lin Wang's expression was gloomy.

Said to go down to Nagasaki Port, but in fact it was just a formality, to gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations with the Wa country.

There are not many navy troops, and it is impossible to completely control the city.

After the symbolic landing and stationing, the people who maintain law and order in the city must be brought back, and the navy cannot leave its troops on a land that is full of hostility to itself when it is far away from the mainland.

But Chengdai on the opposite side used the grace time given by Lin Wang to prepare for resistance, but it angered him.

"Let's get out of the way, so that the merchant ships can slowly sail out when shelling the port. In addition, we need to inform these merchant ships of the reason why our navy bombarded the port."

Anger is anger, reason is still there, as soon as Sun Qin persuaded, the navy let go.

It happened that the black flag ship came to deliver the silver collected by many large merchant ships.

It made Lin Wang feel better.

But a little away from the land, after crossing the mouth of the bay, the cannons on the navy ship roared!
The shells went straight to Nagasaki Port!
The merchant ships that were evacuating on the side heard the continuous cannon fire!All of them hugged their heads and looked sideways in fright!See the smoke on the black flag ship!The shells hit the port of Nagasaki!
This makes many merchant ships run faster.

And these shells rushed in amid the alarm bells in Nagasaki Port!In the extremely nervous eyes of many warriors in the city!It blasted into the pier and nearby urban areas.

It is the center of the expected conflict between the two sides, and it is also the city where Nagasaki Joyo evacuated the residents ahead of time.

The shells fell into the city!Landed and rolled with a bang!The fried sawdust flew everywhere!The house collapsed!Smoke and dust everywhere!

The many concentric and warriors who were deployed in the city couldn't help but feel daunted when they saw the shells falling far away, but those who were close!It is running away in a hurry!
Fortunately, the people in Docklands were evacuated.

Unfortunately the Docklands is the busiest part of the port!
Seeing this, the Tongxin warrior officials in the city couldn't help gnashing their teeth!

"My lord! Let's fight back!!"

Yi Yuli watched the city he was supposed to protect suffer such an indiscriminate disaster!Gritting his teeth, he slapped the cannon beside him, looked at Fantou and growled.

But Fantou shook his head sadly and angrily.

"Master Joshiro said that you can't fight back casually!"

"why!"

"The armies of the feudal vassals outside the city did not respond. Our counterattack will only cause Nagasaki to suffer more violent retaliation!"

"How can it be repaired!"

That's exactly what happened.

Lin Wang has a bad opinion of the Japanese, but it has not reached the point of blood feud.

After being disobedient, firing cannons will not think about massacres and directly bomb the city.

The deterrent effect is in place.

So one shell after another fell on the wharf area of ​​Nagasaki Port!After only three rounds of bombing in this way, the Black Flag Navy stopped shelling.

But the red cannon has caused great damage to the city of Nagasaki Port Wharf!

There is an unlucky long street that is directly pierced by shells!The shops and houses on the whole street were destroyed!The city is surrounded by smoke and dust, and the fringe urban areas are no longer as exquisite as before!
Moreover, most of these buildings are made of wood, and they will catch fire when bombed by shells!

Although the shelling stopped, the pier was on fire for a while!
And because the Japanese buildings are densely packed, and Nagasaki is a small city turned into a commercial port, there are not enough fire prevention measures in the naturalized urban area, which makes the fire grow longer!The thick smoke gradually went straight up into the sky!

The residents in the city knew that the fire must not be allowed to spread, and rushed into the vicinity of the pier to fight the fire before the shelling stopped!Now that the shelling has stopped, the crowds are swarming in!

Seeing this, Nagasaki Joyo was very anxious, for fear that the Black Banner navy would bombard again at this time!Want to dissuade the crowd, but can't just sit back and watch the fire spread!
In a dilemma, he didn't know how to face the black flag after the fire subsided, but he wanted to take out a short knife on the spot to give himself a good time.

But he was quickly stopped by his samurai.

If Joyo commits suicide, none of them can make up their minds.

Outside the city, the samurai daimyo who came to 'assist in the battle' from various feudal clans were very annoyed when they saw Nagasaki being bombarded.

I just wanted to let the city representative serve softly and vote quickly, so that he can take the blame. After the feudal lords pretend to attack the city, and at the same time find a way to kill the city, so that the vassals don't have to face the black flag. Confrontation, the pot is also smaller.

It was unexpected that such a situation would happen.

With the concerted efforts of everyone in the city, the fire in Nagasaki Wharf City was successfully and vigorously burned for an hour.

Fortunately, there is no wind at this time, otherwise Nagasaki Port may have to be burned.

Lin Wang was a little scared when he saw it at sea.

Shelling a city is not the same as burning a city.

As a Jin Yiwei, he knew that the pen was powerful, and how many people were burnt to death with one stroke of scribbles, it would not look good in the history books.

Moreover, the surrounding area of ​​the port is crowded with merchant ships from all over the world, and the news can be spread all over the world in a blink of an eye. This kind of reputation can be said to be good or bad, but Lin Wang doesn't want it.

His great majesty is a living example.

All the gods and Buddhas in the sky may watch him do evil.

Seeing that the fire was extinguished and only thick smoke was still rising, Lin Wang took a deep breath and ordered: "Send Yuichi Kawaguchi to negotiate and request that all armed personnel be withdrawn from the city after the fire is extinguished. Collect them in one place, and no one is allowed to walk in the city with weapons."

Do not press too tightly.

Lin Wang felt that this was a chance.

But for the samurai in the city and the ronin samurai, the two options are exactly the same.

It is a great disgrace for a samurai to be forced to surrender his sword.

But if you don't hand it over, the target of the next shell may not only be the pier.

In the end, Nagasaki Port's Joshiro and many high-level towns began to drive away people crying.

Many samurai and ronin, as well as the merchant guards staying in the city, were driven out of the port city.

The samurai who served in the city knelt and sobbed at the gate of the city, feeling extremely ashamed.

On the side of the Black Flag Navy, Kawaguchi Yuichi, who was in charge of the negotiations, only found it ridiculous when he saw this, and he had no mercy or empathy from his fellow clansmen.

The ronin samurai who was hired temporarily but only participated in the fire fighting was calm and composed.

Some directly talked about whether Black Flag needs them and whether they can provide them with jobs.
