Chapter 173 Skyfire burns the city, long live Ming Dynasty’s father! (Please subscribe, please vote)

There are a total of 125 Feilong 3 airships in the sky, each carrying 16 napalm bombs - this napalm bomb is very powerful, but it is not difficult to make. It is nothing more than adding coagulant to gasoline.

If the coagulant is not found, adding more rubber to thicken it will have a similar effect.

Nagasaki City, where wooden houses are everywhere, is undoubtedly the place where napalm can exert its best power.

Low wooden houses, narrow streets, randomly placed wooden vehicles, equipment, various goods packed in cattail bags and wooden boxes, and the huge Nagasaki grain depot. The whole city is inflammable and explosive!

Without napalm bombs, there will be one or two major fires in Nagasaki City every year, and several of the serious fires can even burn down an entire block. It would be of little use to blow up such a city with bombs. 125 airships

At most, it was 2,000 bombs, killing one or two thousand people (most residents in Nagasaki Castle dug air-raid shelters), and destroying hundreds or thousands of buildings would be enough. Anyway, human life in Nagasaki Castle is not worth anything, and wooden houses

Even less valuable.

But this napalm bomb is amazing!

2,000 napalm bombs exploded simultaneously in various places in a small city filled with wooden houses, immediately causing an uncontrollable fire. And because of Shimazu Sairyo's order, most of the residents at this time

The residents of Saki stayed in their homes. Most people did not sit in their houses waiting for paper bombs (what if it was a real bomb?), but went into their own air-raid shelters.

As a result, when the fire broke out, they didn't even know what was happening. They thought it was Ming's airship dropping bombs, so they stayed tighter in the cave until the fire burned to their heads. Even if they weren't burned to death, they would be.

He died painfully due to smoke and lack of oxygen!

There are not many security forces and air defense teams maintaining order on the streets. In fact, there is no way to defend Nagasaki City from air defense. They only have a few large guns in total. The barrels of those things are difficult to process, and the Japanese have no idea.

If you can't play with it, only the Ming Dynasty, Great Britain, France, and Prussia can process the long tube of the 13mm large gun. Moreover, this kind of large gun is a sharp weapon for assassination, and is strictly controlled by all countries. It is even more difficult to process than the 11-inch cannon.

So the Nagasaki air defense team could only watch helplessly as the enemy airships came over to bomb!

As for the mission of the garrison, it is actually to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to rebel. We cannot say rebellion, but say anyway! After all, Nagasaki is already recognized as a national traitor at home and abroad, a traitor to the enemy, and a traitor!

Therefore, what Shimazu was most afraid of was not the intrusion of officers and soldiers from outside, but the changes within Nagasaki Castle.

As a result, when fires burned all over Nagasaki, there were only a few police and air defense teams on the streets of Nagasaki. It was impossible to extinguish the fire caused by napalm bombs. The fire ignited by 2,000 napalm bombs could not be extinguished.

After a while, it enveloped the whole city.

The jinya where Shimazu Qi Liang was located was not ignited at the beginning, but the surrounding houses and blocks were burned to pieces. He watched the raging fires roll in heat waves and rush towards his jinya from all directions.

, he suddenly thought of Oda Nobunaga!

Well, we’ve already arrived at Honnōji Temple!

I wonder if the troops stationed outside Nagasaki will come to put out the fire and save people?

Just when he thought of this, he suddenly heard the faint roar of cannons in his ears!

"Boom boom boom"

The sound of cannons was continuous and very dense. As soon as I heard it, I knew it couldn't be an 11-inch cannon!

Shimazu Qi Liang's face, which had been covered in sweat by the heat wave, suddenly showed an expression of horror, and asked with a trembling voice: "This, is this the army firing artillery?"

It was Saigo who answered him: "Lord, these are 155mm or less howitzers firing! There are a lot of them, I'm afraid there are hundreds. It seems that the army is about to launch a general attack!"

Finished

Everyone is heartbroken!

The army launched an attack. Now, instead of being burned to death by the Ming Dynasty's heavenly fire, everyone would be beaten to death by the guns and cannons of the army. Moreover, after their death, they would be scolded as traitors to the country, traitors to the enemy, and traitors for generations to come!

Well, the battle hasn't even started yet. Tojo, Yamagata, Ito, Oyama, Matsui, Doihara, Sakagaki, and Okamura and this group of people have already thought about being infamy for thousands of years. This consciousness is much stronger than that of their descendants of war criminals!

At the same time, at the gateway to the Nagasaki Peninsula, the "veteran war criminals" at the Hattengatake position looked like they were about to collapse - they originally wanted to save the country and get some money on the way, and if possible, they would try again.

He was an official and a part-time official. In the end, he became a traitor to the country, a traitor to the enemy, and a traitor to the enemy! Let’s not talk about betrayal and thieves, but the traitor to the country and the enemy did not escape!

The Emperor's chrysanthemum flag and the Tokugawa family's trifoliate flag were all hung on the enemy's side!

This shows that the enemy is just and has a righteous name, and they are all traitors and sinners of Japan.

What’s even more devastating is that the city of Nagasaki is already in flames! Some of these “old war criminals” brought their families to Nagasaki. Have they been burned to death by such a huge fire?

Thinking of this, everyone lost their fighting spirit and just sat numbly behind the parapet, looking at the thick smoke over Nagasaki City, waiting for their doom.

While they were panicking, there was already a scene of jubilation on the official and military positions at the foot of Riyue Mountain and Badianyue Mountain opposite.

Because the samurai soldiers gathered at various starting positions had just learned a very good news. The emperor had issued an edict to designate the feudal lord and important officials of the Satsuma Shimazu Domain as enemies of the court and deprive them of all official positions.

The Tokugawa shogunate announced that it would confiscate the 650,000 stone fiefdom of the Shimazu family, the entire territory of the Satsuma Shimazu clan, and would use it to reward all soldiers with meritorious service!

Although there is only 650,000 shi, it is "family wealth", which is a salary that can be passed down to children and grandchildren! If 650,000 shi is divided into 100 shi parts, there are 6,500 parts. That is 6,500 100-shi retainers.

During the Warring States Period when the world was in chaos, it was nothing to capture 100 Shi Jia Lu, but in today's relatively peaceful era, a warrior with 100 Shi Jia Lu was already very respectable.

Among all the official and military samurai, the most energetic ones were undoubtedly the northern samurai under the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Shizuko!

This time, the emperor and the general went on a personal expedition together!

The emperor left the Kyoto Imperial Palace and, under the protection of Zheng Guoxian, personally marched to Nijo Castle. After crossing two roads, he marched about one kilometer!

But this is a small step for Shizuko, a giant step for the emperor! The last emperor to go to war personally was Emperor Go-Daigo!

The emperor's expedition was only one kilometer away, but her northern samurai followed Zheng Guoxian and carried the emperor's chrysanthemum flag all the way to Mount Hidake near Nagasaki. Then they erected the imperial flag on Mount Hidake and set up an artillery observation post -

-The artillery observation post controlled by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was right next to the imperial flag. The group of warriors who respected the king and resisted the Ming Dynasty on the Badianyue Mountain opposite could only be stunned.

If you want to respect the king, you cannot attack the imperial flag, but if you want to attack the Ming army's artillery command post, you must attack the imperial flag together. It is no exaggeration to say that this time the Ming Dynasty's "beat the dog and collect the dog" battle, from the very beginning

It occupies the strategic initiative and advantage. Not only does it have an absolute upper hand in terms of strength, but it also firmly grasps the right to justice, so that Japan, which is treated as a dog to beat, has to help Ming to beat itself!

Moreover, the Japanese warriors who helped Ming Dynasty fight against Japan thought that they were the righteous ones - in fact, Ming Dynasty hung up the Ming warriors in Nagasaki and beat them just to show them, but they actually still helped Ming Dynasty fight against them.

Or charge forward and take the lead.

Those Japanese samurai who were actually fighting for Japan's interests thought they were thieves!

This is the real crushing!

From the force of force to the comprehensive psychological crushing, apart from being a dog to the Great Tomorrow, it did not leave any room for Japan to struggle.

"Onboard! Onboard! Onboard."

When the sound of artillery fire gradually dissipated, the cheers of the infantrymen had swept across Mount Hattengatake and reached the city of Nagasaki, which had turned into a blazing hell.

Needless to say, we know that the general offensive of the army has begun!

When the defenders of Mount Hattengatake collapsed under the attack of the army, Shimazu Qi Liang's battle house was about to be completely surrounded by fire. The wooden walls around the battle house had already begun to smoke in several places, and it was expected that it would soon.

It's burning.

In the courtyard of the Jinya, Shimazu Qi Liang had already put on a white samurai uniform and was sitting on his knees on the ground. There was a small table in front of him and a sword on the table. He was going to commit seppuku!

The one-eyed dragon Xixiang stood behind Qi Liang, holding a large sword in his hand with a gloomy expression!

On the left and right sides of Shimazu Qi Liang, there are two rows of women in white kneeling, each with a small table and a knife in front of them. These people are Qi Liang's concubines and older daughters. They will be there.

After Qi Liang died, he committed suicide with a sword. Of course, he could also commit seppuku!

Qi Liang's two sons were too young to commit seppuku, so Qi Liang personally helped solve the problem.

Qi Liang looked at his beautiful concubines and daughters, sighed, and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble (it's not a small trouble)!"

As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and stabbed his belly lightly without breaking the skin, then shouted: "Xixiang, do it!"

"Hai!"

Saigo roared and swung his sword, Shimazu Qi Liang's head fell to the ground. Then he turned his cold eyes to Qi Liang's concubines and daughters!
