Its geographical advantage is not just as simple as being backed by mountains and facing the sea...
Not only do the mountains of Kyushu Island in the east help it block most typhoons, but in the west! There are five islands and thousands of reefs and reefs, which have become its natural barrier!
The main function of the coastal defense map is to allow this fleet to pass through this sea area full of reefs unscathed! Successfully attack the port! Capture Nagasaki Castle!
Yan Bing slowly unfolded the Nagasaki coastal defense map presented to her by Zheng Hailong. It was densely marked with the location of every reef and reef. Next to each reef in the map, there was a line of small words that clearly stated
It records the solar term and time period at which this reef will be exposed to the sea, and how many hours will it take after the tide rises before it will be completely submerged and no longer pose a threat...
The tens of thousands of rocks and tens of thousands of words of detailed records depicted in this picture will only make people’s scalp numb when looking at it... full of emotions... how much manpower and time it takes to draw this
Such a drawing...
It’s no wonder that the Ryukyu Kingdom can use the coastal defense map as a bargaining chip in games with major powers... This investment of manpower and time alone is an immeasurable wealth!
And this coastal defense map is just the tip of the iceberg among the hundreds of ports in Japan, large and small...
As an island nation!
The Japanese people know very well that their lifeblood is the ubiquitous sea! Therefore, it is undoubtedly even more difficult to obtain the coastal defense maps of all seaports from them!
But look at the entire Japanese country! The only person who has all the city defense maps and coastal defense maps lives on Kyushu Island!
That is the "infrastructure maniac" of Japan!
Kato Kiyomasa!
This man built countless cities in his life!
Among them, the most famous buildings, including Kumamoto Castle, Nagoya Castle, Ulsan Japanese Castle, Edo Castle, Nagoya Castle, etc., were all written by him or supervised by him... Therefore, Kato, who loves "architecture"
Qingzheng must have the city defense maps of these cities and the coastal defense maps of the entire Japanese seaport towns in his hands!
According to the original historical line...
The first Sino-Japanese war should have happened twenty years ago...
And Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself! He also died in depression after being completely defeated in the second battle...
Not long after his death...Kato Kiyomasa, who was related to him by family, was also pushed onto the stage of Japanese history. In order to preserve the Toyotomi family's flesh and blood, he relied on his personal relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu over the years to mediate between them.
, hoping to prompt the two sides to reach an armistice, and eventually became ill from overwork and died of illness during the constant traveling back and forth...
Therefore, due to this slight deviation in the timeline, not only did Toyotomi Hideyoshi not die...even Kato Kiyomasa lived for more than ten years and is still alive today!
Then his Fengfan Xiongbencheng! is Yan Bing’s next primary goal!!
But... it was not the original target that Yan Bing pointed out to Xu Hui!
At this moment... several fishermen who were weaving nets on the beach saw these huge ships, passing through the strait between Fukue Island and Kama Island in an orderly manner, and slowly sailing towards Nagasaki Port... But
But they didn't care, they still lowered their heads and weaved their own fishing nets...
Just treat it as a Dutch merchant ship...
It wasn't until... a huge warship, more than twice the size of the previous ones, pushing through the turbulent waves and passing through the strait, that the fishermen suddenly understood what was happening! They quickly dropped the shuttle in their hands and jumped onto a rock.
, looking towards the west!
That’s a huge fleet with almost no end in sight!!
And the busy crew members on the ship, who were running back and forth, surprisingly all had the same yellow skin and black hair as him! They were not the blond and blue-eyed Dutchmen! After seeing clearly the lotus and dragon flags flying on the sailboat!
The fisherman was completely stunned... his legs went weak and he slumped down on the rocks...
At this time, no matter whether he went to report the message or ring the bell... it would be of no use...
I can only watch helplessly as the fleet crosses the strait and gradually disappears into the sky...
"Command the Third Fleet! Use the Zhoushan Ship as the flagship in a horizontal line formation! Bombard the Yiwang Island five times in front! The Second Fleet uses the Kaiyuan Ship as the flagship and form a diagonal line formation to bypass the front island from the north and penetrate directly.
Nagasaki Port! Free bombardment!"
"yes!!"
The flag soldier took the order, saluted and executed it in one go, and ran quickly towards the mast of the observation deck! On the observation deck, there was already a flag soldier waiting there for a long time... This is the standard combat readiness posture!
Li Bing turned around and issued an order to another messenger: "Command the First Fleet! Use the Genmi as the flagship and deploy a diagonal formation! From the south, bypass Io Island in front and go straight to the south bank of Nagasaki Port.
!!”
"yes!!"
"First Mate!!"
………………
"First officer! I'm calling you!!" Seeing that Zhao Kaixuan didn't respond, Yan Bing stepped forward and knocked on his helmet. Only then did Zhao Kaixuan suddenly realize that he was no longer the captain... let alone the commander...
…but the first mate of the flagship of the First Fleet…
He quickly tapped his breastplate with his hands and shouted loudly: "The end is here!!"
"The order was sent to the rear deck to release a flying aircraft, and it was ordered to stand by ten miles east of Io Island and prepare to convey the commander's next order to the Third Fleet!!"
"yes!!"
After Zhao Kaixuan accepted the order, he quickly walked to a pile of copper pipes. Each pipe here was covered with a flip cover, and on the front of the flip cover... it was clearly written where the copper pipe led to...
So Zhao Kaixuan, who was originally only responsible for issuing orders and waiting for others to convey them, also had difficulties at this moment. He could only look at the lids one by one and search for them one by one...
The "former first officer" on the side obviously couldn't stand it any longer, so he secretly stepped forward and knocked on one of the lids with his hand, kindly reminding him... But this scene happened to be seen by Yan Bing, and he directly connected with the chief officer.
The deputy didn't even let Zhao Kaixuan do it anymore, so he fucked her to the end.
After all, when the war really breaks out, she is not in the mood to wait for this guy to slowly check the lid...
"You are the former first mate, right!? Now you take his place! Be my first mate!!"
"Ah?? Then...then what should I do..."
Zhao Kaixuan pointed at himself with a grimace.
"After I lead the troops to land, you can take over my position as captain!! Continue to command your navy!!"
"Hey! Okay!! That's okay!!" When Zhao Kaixuan heard this, he immediately became happy! But after a while... he gradually came back to his senses... turned to look at the coach with a smirk on his face.
, asked in a low voice: "But Nagasaki was already captured at that time... Why is the general still commanding?"
"Then...that's your business...we'll talk about it then..." Yan Bing chuckled, picked up the telescope and walked to the deck...
Zhao Kaixuan froze on the spot, slapped his thigh for the last time, and sighed...so sad...
