The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 353 The Thrill of Conquest

On the 12th, the trio of shogunate negotiators, Matsudaira Unno, Tomita Takawa, and Abe Jiro came to Hirado.

Under the witness of Songpu Longxin and Tianchuan Yuhuang, they negotiated with Ding Yifang's representatives, Ruan Siqing and Zhao Dashan.

During the banquet, Zhao Dashan had an arrogant attitude and an arrogant personality. He often put his feet on the table, looking extremely rude.

Ruan Siqing was friendly and persuasive, whenever Zhao Dashan slapped the table and said that he would send troops to attack Nagasaki and Edo, he would come out to be a peacemaker.

Tianchuan Yuhuang persuaded both sides, and they were very busy.

On the first day, the two parties broke up unhappy because the gap between the two parties' requirements was too great.

After the meeting, Matsudaira Uno and Tomita Takawa, thinking that they had a good relationship with Ding Yi in the past and took his kickbacks, they wanted to ask Ding Yi to have a meal together.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the news, Ding Yi took hundreds of warships and headed for Nagasaki long ago.

The two sides talked again the next day, but found nothing.

Abe Jiro scolded, such a condition is simply a loss of power and humiliation to the country, and he should raise the whole country's soldiers and horses to fight the Ming invaders to the death.

On the third or fourth day, we still couldn't reach an agreement.

On the fourth day, Ding Yi's fleet had arrived at Nagasaki Port.

Nagasaki is a famous foreign trade port as famous as Hirado in Japan. In the past, it was densely populated and the merchant ships were like rain. However, they were all scared by Ding Yi's soldiers and horses that day, and almost no one dared to go out on the street.

The original navy on the Nagasaki side suffered heavy losses in the Takashima naval battle, and the remaining naval warships fled in all directions before Ding Yi's ship arrived, heading towards Edo.

Ding Yi stood at the bow of the boat, full of vigor and vigor, and won several games in a row. Even he was a little swollen, and he felt more deeply that it turns out that conquering other countries by force is really very happy.

This is what a man should do. Ding Yi took a deep breath to stabilize his excited mind.

"My lord, do you want to fire?" Shang Kexi walked up to him.

At this time, they were less than one mile away from Nagasaki Port, and there was no ship in Nagasaki Port. Many merchants' ships had already gone to other places in advance when they heard about the war.

Their black muzzles were directed at the port of Nagasaki.

At this time, Nagasaki Port was defenseless, like a poor woman stripped of all her clothes, waiting to be ravaged and humiliated by the Ming people at any time.

"Shoot a few shots at the shore, but don't hit too deep." Ding Yi smiled slightly, since he came, of course he wanted to demonstrate.

"Boom, boom." The cannons of the Ming army sounded quickly.

Huh, the shells flew up one after another, and then fell hard, puffing, one of the shells happened to hit an uninhabited house not far from the harbor, and the shells almost tore the house to pieces on the spot.

Most of the houses in Japan at this time were mainly made of wood, with a small amount of mud bricks interspersed, which was really vulnerable.

In the distance, there were Japanese commoners and local officials. The nobles and wealthy businessmen watched from afar. When they saw the huge warships of the Ming people tearing up their houses with one cannonball, many people prayed in their hearts, hoping that God would save them. They, from the disaster of artillery fire.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd of onlookers cursed: "It's all the shogunate. It sank Mingren's ship and caused an unnecessary war. Our Nagasaki port has suffered heavy losses."

Many businessmen think so.

The warships of the Ming army broke into Nagasaki Port, and merchant ships from various countries fled in fright, and some went directly to Hirado.

Recently, the business here has plummeted, and many goods cannot be sold, and they are backlogged at the port. The shogunate really did something wrong.

Soon someone began to scold him, and then more and more people began to scold the shogunate.

Just when everyone was scolding.

"Here we come, we come ashore."

After the demonstration, Ding Yi's fleet began to land.

Hush, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?

Before, everyone was afraid of being hit by the ship's guns, so they all hid. Now that the warship is docking, many people dare to come out again. It must be clear that they are fighting against the shogunate.

Although the local area is regarded as the port of the shogunate, the common people are not from the shogunate.

Here in Nagasaki, it belongs to the Hizen country, and the Hizen country has several domains. Nagasaki belongs to the territory of the Saga domain of the Nabeshima clan, and the lord of this generation is Katsushige Nabeshima.

The Nabeshima family belonged to the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara, but later defected and obtained the control of Hizen from Tokugawa Ieyasu.In the 12th year of Keicho, the Ryuzoji family died and became the lord of 35 stones of the Hizen Nabeshima family.Appointed Nagasaki Gobanyaku (first-generation lord of the Saga domain), and alternately in charge of the Nagasaki security work with the Kuroda family of the Fukuoka domain.

In the last Takashima naval battle with the Ming army, Nabeshima Katsushige, as a big seaside household (35 stone feudal lord), sent 45 warships to follow Miura Shoji to fight the Ming army.

As a result, as soon as the battle started, his subordinates took a dozen ships and withdrew from the battlefield, and the rest also retreated while fighting. In the end, when the Ming army won a big victory, the Nabeshima clan set off 45 ships and escaped with [-] ships. Island battle.

Katsushige Nabeshima dared to do this, and of course there was a reason for wanting to do so. Although his domain is here, Nagasaki's taxes and wealth are all controlled by the shogunate, and he gets less than one-tenth of it every year.

Three years later in the original history, the shogunate directly monopolized the interests of Nagasaki and completely kicked out the Nabeshima clan.

Before Ding Yi came, the defense of Nagasaki Port was defended by the Nabeshima family and the Kuroda family in turn. It can be seen that the shogunate peeped at the powerful interests here and was on guard against the Nabeshima family.

After the defeat in the Takashima naval battle, Nabeshima's ship withdrew first, and then saw Ding Yi chasing after him with the boat, he didn't care, and immediately ordered all the warships to move eastward and continue to run.

The [-] defense troops originally left in Nagasaki also ran eastward, so when Ding Yi's soldiers and horses set foot on Nagasaki, it was like an undefended city.

This time Ding Yi brought 25 ships, [-] soldiers and horses, and [-] Japanese coolies. After landing, the soldiers and horses were immediately divided into five groups and six groups.

There are 200 people per share, and there is a Japanese traitor leading the team.

One went to the Nagasaki Magistrate's Mansion, looking for the local minister Ono Chuji.

One went to the Nagasaki Port Shogunate Warehouse.

This is the main base for the shogunate's shipments and purchases (because Hirado is Matsuga's sphere of influence), and [-]% of the goods purchased and sold by the shogunate in the future will come in and out of Nagasaki, and they will be stored before entering and leaving the port. The famous 'Da Mao Warehouse' here.

The other three stocks went to the local bank, the barracks, and the firearms bureau respectively.

The largest firearms bureau in the Hizen Kingdom is also here. The shogunate bought cannons from abroad or built them themselves, all starting from Nagasaki.

There is also a group of three hundred elite soldiers, of course to protect our Master Ding.

Immediately, the streets were full of Ming army soldiers and horses, and the Ming soldiers in sharp armor walked up and down the street.

Local common people and businessmen are trembling.

Some officials tried to communicate with Ding Yi, and Ding Yi asked, are you from Nagasaki?
The answer is no.

If not, just get out, are you qualified to talk to me?

At this moment, Ding Yi waved his hand back, called Shang Kexi, and asked him to call the three people above the general manager.

Shang Kexi turned around and called Xu Erxian, Yu Liangtai, and Qiu Zhentai, all generals of Yuan Pidao Liao Dynasty.
