Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 226 The Wind of the Thunder Project Blows to the Pacific Ocean ([-])

A butterfly flapping its wings may cause a storm. Now that the "butterflies" sent by Yinzuo have flapped their wings, a storm may be coming, and this storm is exactly the opportunity Yinzuo has been waiting for for a long time. An opportunity for the Chinese Navy to go global.If history was originally like a pool of stagnant water, since Yinzuo came to this time and space, it was like a stone thrown into the stagnant water, which would inevitably cause waves. It is very magnificent, not only the Qing Dynasty, but also the whole world slowly began to change slowly following Yinzuo's footsteps.

Japan in the 42nd year of Kangxi was the Edo period. Since Tokugawa Ieyasu was granted the title of general who conquered barbarians in the eighth year of Qingchang (1603), he established the shogunate regime in Edo (now Tokyo). After that, the Tokugawa family ruled for more than 260 years. the whole country.This period is called the Edo period.The Tokugawa shogunate strictly controlled the emperor, nobles, temples and shrines, and tried every means to rule the peasants who supported the shogunate system.In the ninth year of Yuanhe (1623), Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of the Tokugawa family, took office and ordered the country to be locked down.Except for opening Nagasaki as an external port, foreigners are prohibited from coming to Japan, and Japanese are also prohibited from traveling overseas.Due to the seclusion, the vassal system ushered in a stable period.However, with Yinzuo's large-scale economic plunder of Japan, the self-sufficient management system of farmers collapsed, and the vassal system began to shake in the 18th century.

From the 37th year of Kangxi to the 42nd year of Kangxi, in this short period of five years, the Qing fleet frequently traveled between China and Japan, dumping a large amount of daily necessities, and executing Yinzuo's order-only Whether to sell or buy less, the Japanese economy has declined sharply, the self-sufficiency system of farmers has completely collapsed, social unrest, and mob rebellions have occurred from time to time.The fifth general of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Tsunashige, died of melancholy. The sixth general, Tokugawa Ienobu, ascended the throne at the age of 43. He tried to reorganize the shogunate and canceled the life that had a lot of negative comments from the people. Mercy Order and Liquor Tax, so it is appreciated by the common people, and the people also look forward to the family announcement to do something.After Jiaxuan dismissed the treacherous minister Yoshiho Yanagisawa during the Tsunayoshi period, he appointed Mabe Kanbo and Arai Shiraishi, and promoted cultural politics, and ordered Ogiwara Shigehide to try to carry out financial reforms in an attempt to save the collapsed Japanese economy. The result of the reforms is Strengthen the isolation and isolation of the country, no longer open any ports, and strictly prohibit the Qing Dynasty fleet from coming to Japan for trading again.The Tokugawa shogunate's order to ban the sea and lock the country was issued quickly and firmly, but when it came time to execute it, it caused a mess.

Nagasaki, as Japan's closest place to the mainland, has always been the only window for trade between Japan and China. The large sea-going ships that come and go in Nagasaki port are basically the fleet of the Qing Dynasty. There are offices, and many Qing expatriates live there.At the end of February in the 42nd year of Kangxi, the Tokugawa shogunate issued an order to ban the sea and lock the country to the Nagasaki Daimyo Prefecture. The Nagasaki daimyo Kotaro Yangsheng immediately began to deploy the task of expelling the Qing expatriates and the Qing fleet.

The Japanese are a strange nation, greedy and short-sighted, ferocious and brutal, they always act without regard for the past and the future. The goods, gold and silver in a large number of sea-going ships, even the liquidity in the offices of the major commercial banks in the Qing Dynasty is an astronomical figure. Trying to wipe out all the Qing expatriates and fleets.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty's shipping was booming, and large sea ships traveled between the oceans. However, all large sea ships were produced in the Jiangnan Shipyard under Yin Zuo's banner, and those who could get large ships from Yin Zuo were court dignitaries. Most of them are Manchu dignitaries. As for private ships, they are basically small and medium-sized sea-going ships that cannot go to the ocean, and most of them are engaged in small-scale trade with Japan and North Korea.The South Seas, the West Seas, the Netherlands, and England have large trade volumes and high profits. Naturally, the Manchu dignitaries don’t think much of the trade with North Korea and Japan. Most people choose to go to the South Seas or the West Seas. The risk is huge. It's a bit more, but it doesn't matter that those gentlemen don't need to take risks by themselves, so it doesn't matter.Nowadays, the largest trade volume with Japan is naturally Yinzuo, and the next is the youngest Yinzhi. As for the private ships, although there are many, the total sum is not a fraction of the two brothers. Without him, the boat is too small Yes, shipments are very limited.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although Xiaotaro's health regimen was secretly deployed, the news still leaked. Naturally, the "Honghu" contributed to this, so the turmoil began.On the night of April 42th in the [-]nd year of Kangxi, Nagasaki was in turmoil. Thousands of Nagasaki Daimyo Prefecture soldiers who had already been prepared took advantage of the night to pounce on the Qing fleet and the major commercial houses of the Qing Dynasty moored in the port. The bloody storm has begun.

The youngest Yinzhi owns a lot of ships. He got nearly [-] large ships from Yinzuo one after another. They are always cautious and not willing to take risks. More than half of the ships are traded between Japan and North Korea. Of the [-] to [-] large ships docked at the port of Nagasaki, more than ten are owned by Lao San, Yinzuo also has more than twenty ships, and the remaining ten are the ships of various Manchu dignitaries. , and the remaining hundreds of small and medium-sized sea-going ships are privately owned.

When the soldiers of the Nagasaki Daming Prefecture rushed to the port, most of the "Fuyuanji" fleet that had already heard the news had left the port a few days ago, and the remaining ships were also ready for battle. The Qing fleet was in a panic and fell into a hard fight.After a bloody fight, most of the ships fell into the hands of the enemy, and the rest retreated at night, and there were not a few of them sunk due to the congestion of the channel. It either sank or was captured, and the sea-going ships of the rest of the Manchu dignitaries were not much better.

In mid-May of the 42nd year of Kangxi, the news of the Nagasaki Incident spread back to the country. The whole country was in an uproar, and the government and the public were shaken. For a while, the voice of denouncing Dongying was loud, especially those Manchu dignitaries who had lost their money because of the Nagasaki Incident. Scolding mother, each of them wrote a book requesting to send troops, and those who agitated public opinion were also busy. Even a literati like Prince Cheng Yinzhi was jumping and clamoring to send troops to attack Japan.

lost heavily?Yes, a little bit, but if you want to achieve a lofty goal, this little loss is necessary, even if it is the pain before childbirth.This is a bureau, naturally it is the bureau laid down by Yinzuo. As early as the beginning of the shipping in the 37th year of Kangxi, Yinzuo had foreseen that there would be such a situation. In order to trigger today's incident, the purpose of everything is to allow the navy to run across the sea.As early as the middle of March in the 42nd year of Kangxi, Yinzuo already knew the strategy of banning the sea and locking the country that the Japanese would adopt, and also predicted that there might be bloodshed. Yinzuo had already prepared for this as early as the beginning of the shipping. The moment came, so it did not suffer too much loss. Of course, all this is due to the effective arrangement of "Honghu".

It has been nearly a year since the navy was reorganized. According to Yin Zuo's deployment, there are now more than ten large warships, more than twenty medium-sized warships, and more than twenty large warships and more than ten medium-sized warships. In rush.All the artillery on the warships are new types of artillery designed by Yinzuo, and the gunpowder is fired with smokeless gunpowder. Of course, with the technology at this time, it is still impossible to mass-produce integrated artillery shells. Yinzuo has nothing to do about it. It may be to increase investment in scientific research, and hope that machine tools such as lathes and punches will come out soon.

So far, only Liu Shuangcheng’s Shandong Navy of the Daqing Navy has completed part of the refitting. As for the training, it is still unclear. At this time, the Shandong Navy is already at the forefront of the world in terms of weapons and equipment. The combat power is pitifully weak—although Liu Shuangcheng worked hard to train the Shandong Navy under Yin Zuo's strict order, it's a pity that the time is too short, and the soldiers can only barely understand the equipment, and they are still far from mastering it , the ship can be driven, after all, Xu Zuo dispatched a large number of experienced sailors to supplement the Shandong Navy, and the artillery can also be fired, but it's not accurate, so it's out of the question.

"War is absolutely necessary. An army that has not experienced actual combat will never grow up. Although the navy is not ready yet, I believe that the tofu dregs in Dongying can be destroyed with the strength of the ship and the guns. As for the training, I think there is nothing wrong with practicing with a battle belt." Standing at the desk, Yin Zuo said with some pride, waving his hands while looking at a large sea map in front of him.

Both Wu and Lin are the main designers of the Lei Ting plan. Although they have some resistance to Yin Zuo's "not doing business properly", because of Yin Zuo's persistence, they are doing their best to help improve the plan. It's just that the timing of sending troops is not the same. In fact, the two wise men did not agree to fight unprepared battles. When Yinzuo ordered "Honghu" to act against Japanese spies in the 41st year of Kangxi, the two were quite disapproving. At this time, they were facing the pressure to send troops. , It is inevitable to suspect that both of them know that the Daqingshui division is a showman at this time, just trying to put forward the idea of ​​suspending the dispatch of troops, Yinzuo immediately made a bold statement, which made the two wise men frown.

Wu Sidao frowned and said: "Since the prince insists on fighting, it is not impossible given the public opinion in the government and the public at this time, but there is one thing: who will be in command?"

Er, who will be in charge?Damn, this question is a bit troublesome.Yin Zuo couldn't help but fell into deep thought...
