The former General's Mansion has now been converted into a royal palace.
In the Jinluan Hall, the emperor sat high up, looking down at the ministers below, feeling very proud of himself.
That emperor was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the incarnation of Izanagi, the creator of the Japanese people, and the great leader Liu Bei.
He was so high above, Zhang Fei, Zhang Bao, Tian Yu, Sun Qian, and even "Amaterasu" were all standing at the foot of the steps, respectfully looking deeply at their great heavenly father and great emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have reported in detail recently that the Chu army and navy are gathering at Yuanshan Port with a clear intention to invade Yingzhou. I ask your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible." Tian Yu came out and said.
As soon as this statement came out, the officials in the main hall started talking.
Especially the Japanese ministers were extremely surprised when they heard that the Chu Dynasty in the Central Plains was about to come to conquer the land in large numbers. This was something that had never been heard of since ancient times.
Liu Bei snorted coldly: "Although the Yan bandits are roaming the Central Plains, the sea is so vast that it cannot be crossed easily. I only need to concentrate our forces on defense and prevent them from landing. Even if the Yan bandits have millions of soldiers, what can we do? "
Liu Bei was very confident, and his confidence had its source, because after he took over the island, he saw the family fortune that Zhang Fei had worked so hard to accumulate for him.
There were nearly 60 ships, more than 200 other ships, and after restoration and expansion, there were more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers.
This family fortune is of course far behind the overall strength of Chu State, but in Liu Bei's view, it is enough to defend the four islands of Yingzhou.
"Your Majesty is right. Although Yingzhou has a coast thousands of miles away, the only place that can be used as a landing place in the north is Shimane County. The Yan bandits gathered ships at Motoyama Castle. They clearly wanted to land at Shimane and attack Osaka Castle from the north. , I believe that as long as we concentrate our forces and hold on to the root of the island, the Yan thieves will be unable to do anything." Sun Qian analyzed eloquently.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, approvingly, and turned his gaze to Zhang Fei, his sworn brother who "valued love and righteousness".
"Yide, you know the topography of Shimane County best. As the number one general of our Han Dynasty, you have the important task of defending Shimane." Liu Bei said with great expectation.
Zhang Fei did not hesitate much, and immediately left the mission, cupping his hands and saying: "When the country is in trouble, I should take care of the country's worries. I am willing to lead troops to garrison in Shimane, so that the Yan thief will not be able to set foot in Yingzhou."
Zhang Fei's generosity and determination made Liu Bei very happy. He couldn't help but praise Zhang Fei's loyalty and courage. He immediately ordered him to allocate 20,000 troops and ordered him to defend the island root.
Although 20,000 soldiers and horses are not many, Shimane Castle is a fortress that Zhang Fei has run for many years. The defenses are extremely strong. Only 20,000 soldiers and horses guard the coastal landing point, which is enough.
"Your Majesty, I ask Bao'er to accompany me to Shimane to garrison and assist me in the defense." Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei to take Zhang Bao with him.
Liu Bei wanted to agree, but at this time, Tian Yu secretly looked at him and shook his head slightly to indicate that he was not allowed.
Liu Bei rolled his eyes, coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "My nephew, he has extraordinary martial arts skills, and he can indeed assist you, Yide, but I also need a capable confidant by my side to help guard Osaka. I still want to help you defend Osaka." My nephew, please stay with me."
Liu Bei did not refuse directly, but politely refused to let Zhang Fei take away his son.
Now Zhang Fei seemed to be willing to hand over the general power, but Liu Bei was still worried and did not dare to let Liu Bei and his son leave the town together in case of accidents.
After all, Zhang Fei still has considerable appeal in the Japanese island. Once he becomes dissatisfied and openly rebels, Liu Bei really doesn't know how to deal with it.
All Liu Bei could do was to keep Zhang Bao, Zhang Fei's only son, by his side. With Zhang Bao as a hostage, I believe Zhang Fei would not dare to have any evil thoughts and could only obediently work for him.
Zhang Bao frowned secretly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyelids.
"That being the case, let's leave Bao'er in Osaka to share your Majesty's worries." Zhang Fei, however, had no complaints. Liu Bei said whatever he said.
Liu Bei was then satisfied, and immediately issued the tiger talisman and ordered Zhang Fei to lead the troops away.
Then, Liu Bei ordered Tian Yu to inspect the remaining counties to appease the Japanese on his behalf and at the same time collect money and grain to supplement military supplies.
Zhang Fei took the order and walked out of the palace.
The moment he walked out of the palace gate, Zhang Fei looked back and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
In the palace, the ministers retreated one by one, and Beimihu also retreated. Liu Bei looked at Beimihu's slim back and her plump breasts, and couldn't help but confidently licked his dry lips, and glanced at her.
A trace of evil light squeezed out of his small eyes.
…
The vast ocean is filled with hundreds of rapids and thousands of sails.
Da Chu's battle flag fluttered proudly between the water and the sky, showing his domineering demeanor.
A huge fleet composed of more than 200 sea-going ships and 300 auxiliary ships, braved the wind and waves, and sailed towards the direction.
Yan Liang stood proudly on the bow of the ship, holding the heavenly sword in his hand, looking at the vast scenery of Tianshui with his profound eyes.
At this moment, Yan Liang's mind was extremely broad, his vision was far-reaching, and many fantastic thoughts were rolling in his mind.
The vastness of the sea gave him a lot of inspiration again.
Yan Liang must implement these inspirations one by one after the teacher returns to the mainland to benefit all the people of Chu.
While I was thinking, the battleship directly ahead signaled a change of direction to the southwest.
That was the pilot signal sent by Gan Ning on the vanguard ship.
"Send the order and the fleet will divert to the southwest." Yan Liang shouted.
On the huge royal warship, the signal flag was raised, and the fleet of hundreds of ships slowly turned from south to southwest.
The huge fleet did not attack Shimane County, but turned southwest, crossed the strait between the Korean Peninsula and Yingzhou, and rushed all the way to Nagasaki Port.
God bless Da Chu. During the past few days, the sea was calm and no deadly storms were encountered. Da Chu's fleet was able to pass through the strait smoothly.
Early that morning, Dachu's expedition fleet finally appeared in the waters of Nagasaki.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Yan Liang witnessed the magnificent moment when the sun rose from the coastline.
Thousands of golden lights shot from the east, covering all the fleets in a layer of golden clouds.
The coastline is getting thicker and thicker, and large tracts of land gradually come into Yan Liang's field of vision.
Nagasaki, the city that was bombarded by a devastating bomb in later generations, would now be the place where Yan Liang conquered Japan.
Yan Liang's face was filled with murderous intent, burning like a fire in the morning sun.
"According to my decree, the army will land and raze Nagasaki Castle to the ground!" With a pointed sword, the emperor issued a battle order.
The attack signal flag was raised high, and every ship in the fleet within a radius of ten miles could clearly see it.
On the vanguard ship, the moment Gan Ning saw the command flag, the fighting spirit that had accumulated in his chest for many years was instantly exploded.
After so many years of silence, Gan Ning finally had a place to show his talents again. How could he not be excited or angry?
"Beat the drums, attack with the whole army, kill them ashore!" Gan Ning pointed his halberds and shouted loudly.
Dong dong dong——
The thundering drum sound rose up, instantly tearing the peaceful sea apart.
More than a hundred pioneer ships, carrying 30,000 pioneer landing troops, broke through the waves and braved the wind, and sailed wildly towards the Nagasaki beach.
More than a hundred warships lay flat on the sea, with a mighty and mighty momentum that reached the sky.
In Nagasaki Port, the Japanese soldiers had just woken up and dragged their sleepy bodies to their respective posts.
The decree of Heavenly Father Izanagi has been conveyed to Nagasaki, and five thousand of the seven thousand soldiers and horses stationed here have been transferred to the defense of Shimane Castle on Honshu Island.
The remaining Japanese soldiers thought that the war would start on Honshu Island and Nagasaki would be far away from the battlefield.
It was this kind of thinking that made the Nagasaki garrison relaxed and not as heavily guarded as usual.
However, this leisurely feeling was shattered by the sudden sound of war drums.
The Japanese soldiers who woke up looked towards the sea one after another, and were surprised to see countless warships rushing towards them.
The warships flying high on those warships were actually the warships of Da Chu.
"People from the Chu country are from the Chu country!"
"The Chu army is coming to kill, the Chu army is coming to kill!"
Exclamations broke out everywhere, and the Nagasaki water camp instantly fell into panic.
When Zhang Fei conquered Nagasaki, he frightened the Japanese with only twenty warships. Now, warships ten times as big as Chu came overwhelmingly. This overwhelming momentum was enough to make the Japanese feel nervous.
In the midst of the panic, the backbone officers of the Han army were the first to regain their composure, drew their swords and overcame the chaos, forcing the Japanese soldiers to take up arms and meet the Chu army's attack.
The Japanese soldiers could only suppress their panic and fight reluctantly. Scattered arrows began to shoot towards the approaching Chu ship.
How many arrows can two thousand Japanese soldiers shoot in a hurry? Their little counterattack ability is not enough to cause substantial damage to the Chu army.
On the battleship, those great naval officers did not even need to raise their shields, they just marched forward boldly.
More than a hundred warships quickly rushed into the water port, and boats of all sizes, like scattered fish and shrimps, rushed towards the various piers.
Thousands of Chu soldiers rushed onto the trestle, shouting and killing, and slashed at the frightened Japanese with swords like the wind.
Facing dozens of times more enemies, and facing the Chu army that was attacked by divine soldiers, the fighting spirit of thousands of Japanese people collapsed in the blink of an eye, and they fled in all directions.
Gan Ning landed on the shore, his two halberds dancing like the wind, killing the enemies who were fleeing in panic. The killing was so satisfying that his eyes were red with blood.
The 30,000 Chu troops hardly encountered any decent resistance and easily entered Nagasaki Port.
In less than half an hour, all the Japanese troops on the shore were wiped out. Da Chu's war flag flew high over the port. This important port fortress in the west of Yingzhou fell into Da Chu's territory.
The huge royal ship slowly sailed into the port and docked on the Shuiying trestle. Yan Liang sat on the red rabbit on his crotch and walked proudly onto the trestle, setting foot on the land of Japan.
On the shore of Shuiying, a tall statue caught Yan Liang's eyes.
He drove his horse closer and asked the guide, and Yan Liang learned that the stone statue was exactly the image of Xu Fu.
Back then, Xu Fu brought civilization to the Japanese, freeing them from barbarism and stupidity and gradually becoming civilized.
Today's Yan Liang brings conquest.
After examining the stone statue for a moment, Yan Liang raised his whip and shouted: "Tear down this stone statue. Times have changed. I am not here to nourish civilization for the Japanese country. I am here to destroy them." (To be continued.)
