Chapter 171: National thief, traitor to the enemy, traitor, suffer death! (Please subscribe, please vote)
On the eighth day of the eighth month of the seventh year of the Taiping Period in the Ming Dynasty, on the outskirts of Nagasaki City, Japan, is the Hattengatake Fortress.
At this time, Shimazu Qi Liang was standing on the commanding heights of Hattendake Fortress, holding a telescope and looking with despair at the chrysanthemum flag fluttering in the wind on the top of Mount Hidake opposite.
The chrysanthemum pattern is the family crest of the Japanese imperial family. The chrysanthemum flag cannot be used by just anyone. It can only be used with the support and approval of His Majesty the Emperor and by the Emperor's decree.
Because the emperor is the nominal supreme ruler of Japan and the so-called descendant of God, having the emperor's support undoubtedly has the highest righteousness.
Of course, the rightful name of Japan belongs not only to the Imperial family, but also to the Shogun family, who are the pillars of the samurai family. Although the power of the Shogun family is no longer at its peak, it is still much stronger than the Imperial family, so the Emperor's
The rightful title is no more valuable than the general's rightful title.
But the problem is that the three-leaf sunflower pattern flag that symbolizes the Tokugawa family has long been planted in various expeditionary army positions outside Nagasaki.
Therefore, now Shimazu Sairyo and his followers are not only accused as traitors by the Tokugawa shogunate, but also as enemies of the court by the emperor. This is not the worst thing, the worst thing happened on the sea behind Shimazu Sairyo
Above. On the sea surface, beyond the range of the 11-inch shore guns, cruised one hundred and dozens of Ming warships flying the sun and moon flags and the bloody red flag!
This means that the Ming Dynasty, which has the reputation of East Asian civilization, has also designated Shimazu Sailiang and his men as thieves who must be punished - they are traitors to Asia! They are not traitors, but want to sell the entire East Asia to
The white ghost colonialists in the West are the traitors to Asia, or simply the traitors to Asia!
According to the "Revelation against Thieves" issued by the Ming Dynasty, Shimazu Sailiang has secretly converted to Christianity, and is planning to overthrow the shogunate and eliminate the emperor, force all Japanese citizens to convert to Christianity, and also leave Asia and join Europe, becoming the British
The loyal lackeys of the empire want to be the vanguard of the British Empire's invasion of the East Asian continent. In short, they want to sell Japan first, then sell East Asia, and finally turn all of Asia into a colony of the British Empire. It is really a heinous crime!
Moreover, countless copies of this memorandum were printed. During this period, airships would be dropped into the sky over Nagasaki City every day. Everyone in Nagasaki knew that their leader Shimazu Sairyo was betraying Asia.
.This deal is really big!
Of course, Qi Liang himself did not admit that he wanted to sell to Asia. It was not a problem in the first place! Even if he wanted to sell, if he had no goods, who would trade with him? This business focuses on Japan, that is, Shogun De
Kawajia Qi could think about it for a moment. Not to mention, Shimazu Qi Liang thought about it for the general, and found that the business of selling Asian thieves was quite good.
Leave Asia and join Europe, become the lackeys of the British Empire, and deal with the unconvinced East and Southeast Asian countries for the British Empire. They develop heavy industry with the support of the British Empire, and then use the weapons produced by the heavy industry to rob them.
Since Japan’s reform and founding of the country, haven’t you been thinking about this good thing?
It’s just that the Ming Empire next door to Japan was incredibly strong. Its fists were as big as sand bowls and its arms were thicker than other people’s thighs. How could little Japan withstand a beating from the Ming Dynasty?
Therefore, when it comes to "selling Asia to Europe", Japan just thinks about it. Who dares to do it?
But how could this upright Ming Dynasty falsely accuse someone of his innocence? And the emperor and the general actually believed it, which really gave him no way to survive!
How could he, a national thief, a traitor to the enemy, and a traitor to Asia, resist the hundreds of thousands of troops coming from all over the Ming Dynasty and Japan? Now let alone the people below, even his own people were in a mess.
Thinking of this, Shimazu Qi Liang had no choice but to sigh, looked back at his loyal men, and asked: "Xixiang, Togo, Yamamoto, Tojo, Yamagata, Ito, Oyama, Matsui, Doihara, Sakagaki
, Okamura. You all tell me, what we are doing is selling the interests of East Asia and Southeast Asia to the Europeans?"
Eleven Japanese devils, you look at me, I look at you, you don’t know what to say?
Don’t you have any idea what Shimazu Qiliang did? Now it’s not just the Ming Dynasty that says you are a bad person, the court and the shogunate both say you are a bad person!
Among them, there were a few "righteous men" who were not from Satsuma, and they couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Shimadzu family's Maruno Cross flag - there was a circle around the cross, but they didn't notice the trick!
The Shimazu family is afraid that they have become "traitors" for a day or two, right? Why did they become so blind that they left the feudal clan and went to Nagasaki to do a big business? It was over now, and they were captured by the Tokugawa shogunate and the Ming Dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of troops (actually hundreds of thousands including naval officers and soldiers) were trapped in Nagasaki, unable to escape.
"Sir, there are still more than 10,000 samurai in Nagasaki City. The reserves are extremely rich, enough to last for three years. Moreover, Nagasaki has always been the first line of coastal defense of the shogunate. It is surrounded by dense fortresses and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you strengthen your confidence, you can
Lead everyone and stick to it, and there will definitely be a turn for the better."
The speaker was Saigo Yoshihei Takamori. He was from the Satsuma Domain. Of course he knew that his master, the Shimazu family, was not a traitor to Asia at all. He had no idea of leaving Asia and joining Europe. At most, he only thought about when the world would be in chaos again.
, we must act quickly and unify Kyushu Island as soon as possible!
Shimazu Qi Liang sighed and ordered: "Go back to the Nagasaki Formation House and hold a military meeting of each team!"
"Hai!"
The samurai around Shimazu Qi Liang weakly agreed.
"Military advisor, you can see Nagasaki City!"
Just when Shimazu Sairyo and his men left the Yatendake Fortress outside Nagasaki and headed for the Shimazu family's Jinya in Nagasaki City, in the northeast of Nagasaki, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, there were hundreds of dozens of people.
A flying formation composed of Hiryu-3 airships is approaching Nagasaki City at a speed of approximately 80 kilometers per hour.
The person known as the "strategist" is Zhuge Weidao. His "long" six-month shipboard mission has finally ended - in fact, he can stay on the Lushun for a few more months, and even "get
"A Hongwu Emperor-class ship is the dream of most naval officers!"
But Zhuge Weidao knew his own trade. Although he obtained two battle stars during the six-month mission, he also obtained a record of sinking a battleship (cooperating with the sinking), and received a firing line promotion and two
A great achievement (the other was shooting down eight airships in the Battle of Jueying Island), but he still chose to go ashore. Or to be more precise, go to heaven!
The day after he left the cruiser Lushun, he was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Naval Aviation - he had "reserved" this position with Zhuge Weiyong and Guan Tianpei early in the morning, so the original staff officer of the Naval Aviation
The director was transferred away long ago, and the seat has been vacant since mid-July, waiting for Zhuge Weidao, an "aerospace expert", to take up the post.
Zhuge Weidao's first task after taking office was the "Nagasaki Fire Attack" that he first proposed!
Originally Zhuge Weidao planned to burn Hiroshima City, but at this time the Asano family who ruled the Hiroshima Domain did not side with the "traitors" of Nagasaki. Instead, they responded to the shogunate's call and dispatched 1,500 domain soldiers to participate in the Nagasaki War.
In this way, Zhuge Weidao had no reason to bomb Hiroshima City.
Moreover, the current Hiroshima Castle has no bombing value. It is the residence of the feudal lord. After the samurai went out to fight, the only people left there were the old, weak, women and children.
Nagasaki became the only target of the fire attack. In order to succeed in the fire attack, Zhuge Weidao, the chief of staff, worked hard, flew several times to Nagasaki, and also organized several "paper bombs"
bombing".
The paper bombing was carried out, on the one hand, to expose Shimazu Sairyo's crimes; on the other hand, it was also to relax Nagasaki's vigilance.
In addition, after studying the weather forecast, Zhuge Weidao also calculated an auspicious day of the zodiac that is "suitable for bombing" and "suitable for arson", which is today, the eighth day of August!
Nagasaki’s disaster day...has arrived!
