The next day, at dawn, ten warships appeared outside the sea area where the Imperial Palace of Japan was located, moving very fast.
They headed towards the imperial palace.
At this time, there were still dozens of kilometers away from there.
It won't take me long for them to reach a place thirty kilometers away from the Imperial Opera, which is within the range of the cannon.
Soon, the battleship passed through the Tokaido and entered a long and narrow space.
This space is surrounded by land on the left and right, and the sea in the middle.
The smallest distance between the two land masses is only nine kilometers.
On the battleship, Li Min and others looked at the land on the left and right.
At the same time, he looked into the distance with a high-power telescope.
However, we found many people wearing ragged clothes.
There are more women, half-clothed, but still working.
They are all young women, all good-looking, and their faces are flushed.
The weather was so cold that they didn't even have any decent clothes.
But standing next to them were a group of Japanese people in brightly dressed clothes.
These people are more like officials, officials who supervise their work.
These officials are not tall, and their appearance is very wretched.
This is what the Japanese are like.
As expected, they are a lowly nation, not very tall.
Unexpectedly, such a nation would dare to attack the Tang Dynasty.
You are really too brave.
It is said that the brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death.
They are playing with fire!
At this time, an official raised his whip and struck a woman.
This slap is heartbreaking.
"Sir, what...what is going on?"
Xue Rengui stepped forward and asked.
This is quite different from the Japanese country I imagined.
In his opinion, all Japanese people are bad people.
But now it seems that the official is unkind.
A large number of people are still suffering.
At the same time, he also felt compassion.
These innocent people are so innocent.
Looking at this situation, these people are under the rule of the emperor, and no one is happy.
Because I don’t even have any clothes to wear, how can my life get better?
At the same time, it’s all women who are doing the work. Could it be that all the men are out fighting?
Maybe that's it.
As for the woman who was whipped by the officials, there was nothing anyone could do.
After all, their battleships have more important things.
And it's so far away from land that it's impossible to save him.
Such a long distance cannot be reached by a pistol.
"The emperor of the Japanese should die!" Yuan Tiangang said bitterly.
"You have to see everything clearly before you speak." Li Min said.
He knew that an emperor could do this?
Not necessarily, he must have a group of officials who deceived him.
But that's not important. Li Min has his own way of dealing with it.
"Sir, look!" Xue Rengui suddenly said at this time.
He looked in the direction pointed by Xue Rengui's hand.
All they could see was that where they were looking just now, the officials in the distance were all in a mess.
At the same time he was shouting to himself.
Some people started to move.
These Japanese people don't know what they are calling.
They followed the battleship and had to move quickly.
The Japanese official who had just beaten the woman immediately put away his long whip and, with the help of others, mounted his war horse.
He was like a child, sitting on the horse, looking extraordinarily small.
The woman stood there motionless.
He murmured in Japanese: "Is this the god sent by heaven to save us?"
In their eyes, the battleship in front of them was extremely fast.
Because there is a comparison. In contrast, the Japanese also have ships on the shore, and they are all driven by talents.
The speed is not a little bit slow.
And the size is even bigger.
This was the first time they had seen such a behemoth.
They were all shocked.
She is not the only one on the continent who feels this way, basically all women feel this way.
"It's God, it must be a messenger sent by God!"
"They are here to punish the Emperor for his existence!"
"I came to be saved!"
…
These people thought they were saved.
They were running wildly following the battleship.
Many people who didn't know the truth also started running.
There are more and more of these people.
They chased the battleship, hoping it would stop and listen to their depression.
However, the battleship's speed did not slow down.
By this time, the sky had begun to light up.
The sea became bright.
They looked at the red flag on the battleship.
There are huge Chinese characters written on them!
Yuan Tiangang asked: "What are these people doing? Are they chasing us?"
Wang Xuance said: "It seems that our battleship is very novel to them!"
Xue Rengui said: "Look at those people on horseback, they seem to be reporting news!"
Yuan Tiangang added: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Their speed is too slow. Our warships have already arrived before he even reports! When the time comes, we will catch them off guard!"
But now they don't know that the Japanese people are completely shocked at this time.
After all, none of them have ever seen anything like this.
And it's extremely fast.
Not even the defenders saw their appearance.
Because the news didn't come through.
Some Japanese who knew Chinese characters looked at the huge Chinese characters on the battleship and shouted.
"This is the ship of the Tang Dynasty! It is the ship of the Tang Dynasty! Retribution is coming!"
Obviously, he should know what the Japanese committed.
We went to invade the Tang Dynasty, and now the Tang Dynasty sent warships over.
And the ten big guys seem to be invincible.
This shocking thing shocked all the Japanese in the entire Tokaido.
In just a few minutes, the shore was already surrounded by Japanese people.
They looked at the battleship with incredible eyes.
Many Japanese officials also began to give orders and sailed their boats to pursue them.
However, their speed was too slow and they always maintained a huge distance from the battleship.
Even if they were faster, they might not be able to get close to the battleship. As long as the battleship speed increases, the waves raised will definitely make them roll over. This is the absolute advantage brought by their size.
They don't even have to use weapons, the hull is the absolute best weapon.
Those were ten huge iron guys! Wherever they went, the wooden boats of the Japanese couldn't compare.
From now on, the Japanese can only be beaten.
But Li Min did not give any orders because these were not his goals.
His goal is very obvious, that is the emperor in the imperial palace!
As the battleships continued to penetrate deeper, the sensation caused became even greater.
At this time, the battleships had gradually disappeared as they passed between the nearest land and penetrated deep into the imperial palace.
"Sir, where should we stop?" Xue Rengui asked.
They will arrive in half an hour at most.
If we arrive, where should the battleship be parked?
