Sulphur, the raw material of gunpowder, is an extremely important strategic material. Zhang Hong cannot let it go. With a big wave of his hand, a large number of Japanese people, under the leadership of Weihaiwei farmers, have opened sulphur mines everywhere.

  Unrecoverable, unsustainable, and predatory excavation was carried out! For Weihaiwei, the strategic resource of sulfur, no matter how much it was dug out, would not be too much.

  Especially now, almost all the navy and land armies under his command have been turned into firearms, and they are equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery. After the gunpowder consumes a lot of gunpowder, no amount of sulfur can be used up! Occupying silver mines and sulfur mines, it can be said that, The Chengshan Fleet has perfectly achieved the goal of colonizing the Japanese nation.

  However, Zhang Hong was not satisfied at all, and he wanted to gain more! Immediately, a thousand-house Marine Corps, plus two squadrons, went straight to the southeast, from Ryukyu Port to Shimane: between the ports The transfer station - Nagasaki Port.

  Nagasaki Port is not only the largest foreign trade port city in the Japanese country, but its geographical location is extremely strategic, and it is irreplaceable for the Chengshan fleet to colonize the Japanese country.

  This is the strategic point of Chengshan Fleet, and it must be occupied! With Zhang Hong's order, the army can go south! At the same time, we have not forgotten the construction of Shimane: the area! In order to achieve the greatest and fastest efficiency, we will carry out crazy plundering. colonial.

  Of course, don't forget to reclaim farmland in Shimane: area to achieve food self-sufficiency.

  The food self-sufficiency policy of each colony has become the basic policy of Weihaiwei's overseas colonies, and no one will forget it.

  Anyway, wherever you colonize, you farm wherever you go! Japanese Kyushu Island, Nagasaki Port.

  The two squadrons sent by the Chengshan Fleet, one thousand households of troops, and five thousand peasants, formed a fleet that appeared outside Nagasaki Port after two days of sailing.

  It instantly caused panic in the entire Nagasaki Port! After so many days, the Chengshan Fleet persistently attacked the Japanese ships and blocked the waters of the Japanese country, causing the entire Japanese country to be full of riots and refugees everywhere.

  The Japanese merchants in Nagasaki Port knew for a long time that the Chengshan Fleet, such a powerful fleet from Ming Dynasty, was like a demon, shrouding the entire Japanese country.

  "Come on, here they come!!"

  "Ah, ah, I knew that they would not let us Nagasaki!"

  "Bagaya Road, Daming people are dying!"

  "These demons from Daming are really abominable!"

  "Crazy mad!!"

Chapter 2 Bombarding the Port of Nagasaki (5/[-])

  The entire Nagasaki Port fell into a panic when they saw a fleet that was terrifying and unprecedented for them floating on the sea outside the port.

  Wails, exclamations, shocks, and panic sounded wildly, and the whole city was in an uproar! What made them even more terrified was that the merchant ships and warships docked at Nagasaki Port were fleeing for their lives one after another, trying to escape.

  But soon, he was educated by the artillery battleships in the two squadrons of Chengshan Fleet.

  Every time, dozens of artillery shells are fired at close range, the power is fierce, the shells are accurately landed, and the cannons are fired fast, almost no ship can withstand it.

  Every time a salvo of artillery fires, a ship must be bombarded and sunk into the sea.

  What made the Japanese people in Nagasaki Port even more terrified was that this fleet, without any intention of saving people, watched the drowning people, along with their ships, sinking into the sea.

  They ignored their terrified and miserable cries for help.

  Ruthless to the extreme.

  Just looking at it makes people feel chills and fear.

  It completely shattered their illusions about the people of Daming! At the same time, it also made all the people of Daming who lived in Nagasaki port stunned, extremely shocked, and gasping for air.

  As my country's largest foreign trade port, Nagasaki Port is home to a large number of Ming people, in addition to a large number of Dutch Portuguese staying here.

  It can be said that this is an international port.

  However, the Chengshan Fleet, in front of so many people, ruthlessly sank all the ships, fired wildly, and slaughtered all the Japanese on the ships frantically.

  It really frightened countless people! "Hey, is this the navy of Weihaiwei? Why are they so cruel!!"

  A Ming merchant who settled in the Japanese port of Nagasaki, saw this scene, his scalp could not help tingling.

  What frightened him was not the strength of Weihaiwei's navy, but its ruthless killing.

  In this day and age, it is rare to see such a savage army doing such a massacre in front of countless people.

  The businessmen who went overseas in this era were basically pirates.

  This is formed by the environment, because in this era, it is basically difficult to make a fortune if you want to run the ship and do not want to kill people and rob goods! Many businessmen, just to protect themselves, are robbed by pirates, and finally kill pirates, and suddenly make a lot of money After one stroke, they changed their careers to become pirates.

  Clothed in two skins, he is a merchant on the shore and a pirate on the sea.

  But now the ruthlessness of Weihaiwei's navy has shocked him, an old pirate of Ming Dynasty! "Weihaiwei calls it the navy, and now Weihaiwei's policy on overseas land is called colonization, and they disdain all costs. , a frenzied predatory colonization!"

  The companion next to him explained in a low voice.

  There was no hint of fear on his face, Dao Weihaiwei would not kill the people of Daming for no reason, especially the businessmen who did business with Weihaiwei, and they were the objects of their protection.

  As for the Japanese who were killed, he had no mercy, and even secretly made a name for it on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, but suffered from the attacks of Japanese pirates. In the eyes of a vengeful Ming person like him, all the Japanese were Japanese pirates, there was no difference, and they were not worthy of any Sympathy! The dead Japanese are the good Japanese! "Colonial predatory colonization"

  The previous Da Ming merchants frowned when they heard it: "Isn't that the same as Jiannu? Renyi and righteousness education, or not!"

  The companion didn't finish speaking, but just curled his lips and cursed in his heart: "You motherfucker is a vicious and vicious pirate, what qualifications do you have to talk about benevolence and righteousness education, you are a rude person who suffers thousands of knives, and he behaves like a scholar, in his heart. There's no face to face!"

  The mentality of the two Daming merchants is the view of the vast majority of Daming people in Nagasaki Port today.

  Some people frowned, worried and sympathetic.

  Others looked at them with wide-eyed smiles, patted their palms and laughed, secretly applauding.

  As for the Japanese who saw it, they were all terrified and frantically closed the city gate, intending to defend the city.

  And those white-skinned pigs from the West Yi covered their mouths and exclaimed one by one, shouting God, and urinating their pants in fright.

  Although they are in the various colonies in the world, they are more ruthless than what Chengshan Fleet has done at the moment, and they are more ruthless towards the natives.

  But what they like most is to engage in double standards, to treat others as pigs, to slaughter and sell at will, and only regard themselves as human beings.

  The Japanese did not regard them as human, but after seeing the ships of the Japanese being ruthlessly destroyed, they seemed to have seen their own experience, and they were all frightened and worried.

  It's just that no matter what anyone in the Nagasaki port has any opinion on the Chengshan Fleet or Weihaiwei, the Chengshan Fleet is unmoved and ruthless, destroying and sinking all the ships that were about to escape.

  Even among them, there were even one or two merchant ships from Daming, and they were not spared.

  Weihaiwei takes the rules very seriously. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will kill everyone, no matter who they are! This kind of brutal killing also frightened the Japanese warriors in Nagasaki Port, and they all fled back to Nagasaki County. Inside, the port and the wharf were directly handed over to others.

  It can be said that the Chengshan Fleet took the wharf and port of Nagasaki with little effort.

  "The brothers on the battleship have solved the threat for me, everyone can go ashore!"

  The thousand households of the fourth thousand households of the second guard of the Marine Corps immediately waved their orders and all members landed.

  More than [-] marines, [-] peasants, and gunners from naval battleships formed a large army and marched towards Nagasaki prefecture.

  Originally, the main function of Nagasaki was the port, and the previous city was almost abandoned.

  Now that the Chengshan Fleet is attacking across the sea, most of the Japanese have abandoned everything in the port, and with their money, they have fled into the city, closed the city gate, and prepared to defend.

  The county seat of Nagasaki is seven or eight miles away from the port, and the road is so far. Although the artillery on the naval battleship can shoot so far, its accuracy is almost the same.

  Therefore, it is necessary to pull the artillery on the battleship ashore, build a roadbed fort, and bombard the city.

  Fortunately, the largest artillery on a battleship today is a ten-pound artillery, not even a heavy artillery piece. It is the same type of artillery used by the army, but the base is different.

  A large number of three-jin guns, five-jin guns, and ten-jin guns were moved to the shore.

  Dozens and hundreds of artillery pieces neatly aimed their muzzles at Nagasaki County, giving people an extremely powerful deterrent.

  The Japanese samurai generals stationed in Nagasaki prefecture all felt weak in their hands and feet, and only felt a chill in their hearts.

  With so many artillery pieces aimed at the city wall, the city wall of Nagasaki county town can withstand the attack of so many artillery pieces, although the size of the city wall of Nagasaki county town is almost comparable to that of the county town of Daming.

  But in front of the artillery, it still seems very weak.

  In the age of cold weapons, the city wall was the patron saint.

  But in the age of guns and artillery, that's a living target! "It's over!"

  The businessmen from all over the world, who had little knowledge, couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing when they saw that there were dozens or hundreds of artillery pieces outside the city.

  "Get ready for the Ming army from Weihaiwei, let's discuss the matter! Nagasaki Port, the Japanese can't hold it, and they can't take it back!"

  They have no hope for the Japanese to defend Nagasaki Port! This is not only because of the artillery, but also because of the more than [-] marines in the Marine Corps, almost two-thirds are equipped with armor, helmets and muskets.

  Whether it's sieging the city, defending the city, or charging in the field, even if the Japanese warriors are desperate, they are not opponents! This is not a level opponent at all! The Japanese are completely crushed! There is no hope of victory! Feilu reminds you: Three things to read to collect, recommend, and score

Chapter 3 Nagasaki Defense Team (5/[-])

  Inside Nagasaki Prefecture.

  "Your Excellency General, defend the city, we can't hold it, the other side has too many cannons!!"

  The port of Nagasaki was directly under the Tokugawa shogunate, where commerce was developed, and a large number of Japanese merchants gathered here.

  Economically developed areas will naturally attract a large number of people, resulting in a particularly large number of wandering samurai living in Nagasaki Port.

  The so-called wandering warrior, that is, there is no family owner to serve, there is no fixed target of allegiance, and they rely on others to hire and survive.

  In Nagasaki, a large number of wandering samurai were employed by Nagasaki merchants.

  Coupled with the Japanese warriors, there is an inexplicable spirit of Bushido. Once they take refuge, they seldom betray and perform their duties. As a result, businessmen from all over the world like to keep these Japanese warriors.

  You can even use it directly as a dead soldier! It can be said that the wandering warriors of the Japanese country in this era are simply alternative mercenaries.

  Of course, there is also one of the biggest places for wandering warriors, and that is pirates.

  Japanese pirates have offended Daming's maritime borders for hundreds of years. In fact, most of them are the actions of these wandering warriors. What's more true is that most of their employers are marine merchants from Daming.

  During the Jiajing period, there was a policy in Daming to completely ban the sea, confiscated all sea-going ships, and closed all shipyards.

  However, it was used by those powerful country gentry and wealthy businessmen, and almost most of the sea ships were forcibly occupied by these country gentry and wealthy businessmen, causing the dissatisfaction of many sea merchants.

  The whole court was shaking! Soon, Emperor Jiajing changed his mind again, from a total ban on the sea to the other extreme, to open the sea! The sea merchants cheered, but the village gentry and wealthy merchants started to make trouble.

  The reason why Japanese pirates were able to wreak havoc on the Daming sea frontier also had a great relationship with the policy of prohibiting and opening seas during the Jiajing period.

  Whether it is the prohibition of the sea or the opening of the sea, it will offend the interests of a large number of people.

  These people began to attack each other for the sake of profit, and finally used the method of sending out Japanese pirates to retaliate by killing the butchers at every turn.

  Who knows that the game is overdone at once, more and more people like the taste of this kind of robbery and getting rich overnight.

  As a result, things became more and more troublesome, and the entire southern sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty was full of wolf smoke, and everywhere there were Japanese pirates coming from across the sea and frantically looting.

  Among them, the main force of the Japanese pirates is the wandering warriors of the Japanese country.

  But the masterminds behind it are the merchants and squires of the Ming Dynasty.
