Ishikawa Shiro stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the looming silhouette of the ship in the darkness ahead, and showed a ferocious smile.
He hated the Xia people very much.
His brother Ishikawa Saburo died in the Battle of Tsushima under the artillery of Xia Kingdom.
He swore a poisonous oath in front of his brother's soul that he would take revenge.
This time he was sent to patrol the sea surface of Shimabara, and he was more active than anyone else.
Huang Tian paid off, and he finally bumped into a sneaky Xia ship.
As long as these people with evil intentions are captured and the weapons on the ship are seized, Japan will be in an invincible position.
A tense pursuit began.
Xia's ships clashed left and right, but they could never escape the encirclement of the Japanese warships.
Once the sea became lively, Satsuma clan's warships came around from all directions.
Several successive collisions slowed down Xia's merchant ships, and the situation reached an extreme crisis.
"Baga! Stop the boat quickly, otherwise we will kill you without mercy."
The Japanese people's shouts sounded nearby, but the Xia people on the merchant ship turned a deaf ear and only wanted to speed up.
Seeing Xia's merchant ships stubbornly resisting, the Japanese were so angry that they simply drove their ships into them head-on.
Amidst the tragic loud noise, Xia Guo's ship was finally unable to move.
The Japanese howled with excitement and threw their grappling hooks one after another, making it impossible for the two ships to separate.
Many people have already drawn their swords and are ready to jump over at any time.
On Xia Guo's ship, the person in charge knew that the outcome was decided.
He looked at his companions.
"Stop them, even if we die, the country will avenge us."
The other Xia people were also fearless and drew their weapons one after another and rushed onto the bow of the ship.
The person in charge wiped the tears from his eyes, picked up the torch, turned around and rushed into the cabin.
The Japanese warriors jumped up one after another, trying to land on Xia's ship.
They were convinced that with their numerical advantage, they would be able to capture these Xia people.
But while they were still in the air, their eyes suddenly opened wide.
Xia Guo's ship shook violently and then broke into two sections.
At the break, monstrous flames and terrifying air currents swept away everything around.
Not only the Xia Kingdom's ships, but also the Japanese warships that came up from the surrounding areas were all torn apart.
In just a few seconds, an extremely huge fireball rose above the entire sea surface, shining like daylight within a radius of 100 meters.
Ishikawa Shiro stood at the bow of the ship in a daze, looking at the Xia Guo merchant ship that was destroyed in the explosion, and instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Facts have proved that his feeling was not wrong at all.
Shen Tingyang rushed into the Nagasaki Prison like an angry lion.
"Sir, our Xia Kingdom's merchant ship was attacked by your navy, and all the people on board were killed. Japan must give a reply."
Kanhara Shinao also knew what happened last night.
"We, the Japanese navy, are just patrolling the water surface to hunt down miscreants. Does Mr. Shen mean that you Xia merchants are doing shameful things?"
Shen Tingyang's pores were congested.
"That is a serious merchant ship of our Xia Kingdom, but now it has been attacked by the Japanese navy. If we don't give an answer, our Xia Kingdom will never give up."
Shen Yuanzhi was offended by Shen Tingyang many times and could not bear it for a long time.
"Those are bad guys who colluded with the Shimabara mob. Does what Mr. Shen said mean he admitted it?"
Shen Tingyang completely ignored the Japanese warriors who were watching eagerly around him, and directly approached Kambara Shizhi.
"Do you have evidence? You don't. But the evidence is conclusive that your Japanese navy attacked our Xia merchant ship. All consequences will be borne by you, Japan."
Shen Yuanzhi had never seen someone telling lies with such open eyes, and he was equally furious.
"Since he is a serious businessman from the Xia Kingdom, why did he appear outside Shimabara?"
He thought that this question could stump Shen Tingyang.
But I didn't expect the other party's answer to be so smooth.
"It's dark and windy at night, and it's normal for our Xia Kingdom's merchant ship to get lost as it's dark and windy. Your Majesty, please don't change the subject. You must hand over the murderer within three days and pay compensation. Otherwise, there will be unspeakable consequences.
Something happened.”
"The Sword Comes"
Shen Tingyang walked away, leaving only the messy Shen Yuan Zhizhi in the wind.
He had never thought about why the legendary humble and polite Chinese people could become so domineering and even unreasonable.
But he knew that things were getting serious.
He did not dare to delay at all, and immediately sent someone to inform Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Tokugawa Iemitsu of the situation.
How Xia Guo would respond made him cautious.
It's just that no one in Japan expected that Xia Guo's reaction would be so intense and rapid.
"This is a violation of the agreement and a provocation to the Xia State. The majesty of the Xia State cannot be insulted, and Japan must pay a heavy price."
In Busan Port, Zhang Keda drew his sword out of its sheath and expressed his attitude.
Like him, the North Sea Fleet was full of fighting spirit.
Bai Xiaoqi, who was far away in Hanyang, also made a decision.
"Order the 7th Division to take over the defense area of the 1st Marine Division, and the 1st Marine Division will immediately go south to gather in Busan, ready to go into battle at any time."
The advantages under the military district system were quickly brought into play.
While reporting to the Central Committee, the North Korean Military Region has already come up with solutions.
The North Sea Fleet mobilized all its warships, crossed the Tsushima Strait, and rushed into Japan.
Off the coast of Shimabara.
The Satsuma Domain navy, which was still cruising here, encountered the North Sea Fleet before they could react.
"Sink them."
As soon as they met, Zhang Keda took the most drastic measures.
Amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, the Satsuma navy warships that were caught off guard were smashed into pieces one after another, drifting in the surging sea water.
The Japanese soldiers who fell into the water struggled desperately to survive.
The North Sea Fleet turned a blind eye, and the warships like a city rolled over their heads.
The sudden change in the situation completely shocked Japan.
Shen Yuanzhi rushed to meet Shen Tingyang as if his tail was on fire.
"Master Shen, what you Xia is doing is an unwarranted invasion of Japan. Please stop it immediately, otherwise we will never sit idly by and ignore it."
Shen Tingyang sneered.
"Hand over the murderer who attacked our Xia merchants. In addition, in view of your violation of the agreement, from now on the relevant sea areas will be patrolled by our Xia navy to ensure safety."
Shen Yuan was in a cold sweat.
"You are being unethical. I, Japan, will never give in."
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly came running in a hurry outside.
"Sir, there are warships, many warships. Xia's warships, they have occupied the dock."
Shen Yuanzhi's vision went dark, and then he thought of something. He didn't bother to negotiate with Shen Tingyang anymore and rushed to the port.
What he saw was that the dark Xia Kingdom warships had filled the bay of Nagasaki. Group after group of Xia Kingdom soldiers had landed and occupied all the important places.
All warships flying the flag of the shogunate were seized by the Xia Navy.
All Japanese wearing armor and weapons were also arrested.
Nagasaki has lost control.
Shen Yuanzhi felt weak all over.
Faced with this situation, the only thing left for him was endless sorrow.
In front of the Xia Kingdom, Japan was so fragile.
Regarding the next development of the situation, all he could see was boundless darkness.
