Jason Parro stared at King Chu with wide eyes, but soon... the surprise on his face gradually subsided... and returned to normal, even with a smile...
"I think... there is no need for this at all, my friend..."
"no need……??"
King Chu frowned slightly, showing a trace of suspicion...
"Has your council decided to declare war on us, Daliang?"
"Yes"
"Ha! I am not boasting, my friend, is it possible for you, the Netherlands, to win?"
"If we start a head-on war, there is no chance of winning... But if there is a sudden attack, there is! And the trade routes across the East Asian continent will also be opened, which is worth our risk..."
"Sudden attack?" Wang Tongyi raised his eyes and looked at Jason Paro, and the other person's eyes seemed to be full of determination and confidence...
"Yes friend, surprise attack..."
"You tell me directly about this kind of thing...it won't do anything to you..."
"Hahahaha! My friend, you and I are both smart people. You should know that when I told you this, I was obviously not afraid of you knowing it, because we got the exact news just a week ago. You
The Liang Kingdom has decided to send troops to help the Ryukyu Kingdom, and this... was news more than two months ago...
So, as you and I are talking now, your Liang Kingdom's fleet should have fallen into the trap jointly arranged by the Japanese Kingdom and our Netherlands... Even if it is you, my friend... Even if you grow up right now
A pair of wings, fly back...I'm afraid it's too late..."
Jason Parro patted his plump thighs and laughed, then he bent over his bloated waist and spent a lot of energy before picking up the teapot from the round table and pouring a cup of black tea for King Chu with his own hands...
"As you said before, you, Liang Guo, will pour tea to your friends to show respect. Then I will follow your etiquette to affirm our friendship. Here, my friend... have a sip of tea first... don't be too exaggerated.
panic."
"Do you think I look panicked...?" Wang Tongyi smiled slightly, slowly took the black tea handed over by Jason Paro, took a sip, shook his head...pointed to the kettle hanging on the fireplace and said loudly:
"Chikuo, go and throw this rag into the street, and then make a pot of Tieguanyin that the king brought and give it to him to try..."
"yes!"
Although Chiguo couldn't understand what the prince and the Dutchman were talking about at all, it was not difficult to see from the prince's face that the prince... seemed a little angry...
"Jason Paro... my friend, I asked my brother to make us a pot of Daliang tea for you to try... In addition, I just want to tell you... you still know too little about us, Daliang.
But since the Netherlands has decided to go to war, I won’t be in a hurry to leave... I want to stay here for a while and wait for the outcome of the war with you..."
"What? Are you so confident?"
"Yes...my friend...if you had seen our muskets and artillery with your own eyes, I believe you would never make such a stupid decision...I feel sorry for you...and for your country."
Ah...my friend!"
While he was talking, Chiguo had already placed the pot of Tieguanyin he had just brewed on the round table. However, when he was about to pour tea for the two of them, he was stopped by the King of Chu and waved his hand at him.
Let him retreat...
The King of Chu himself picked up the teapot, filled Jason Parro's teacup, and then gently pushed the teacup while continuing: "My confidence in our Daliang army... is as strong as my confidence in this cup of tea.
, I believe they... can bring you different 'surprises'..."
"Oh? Really? Let's wait and see...my friend..." Jason Paro picked up the tea cup with a smile...
The King of Chu also picked up his tea cup and smiled heartily...
"We'll see." It's not appropriate to use the three words between us...because it's too opposite and will damage our friendship. And we have an idiom in Chinese called 'wait and see', although it also means we'll see.
...but it’s a good intention to wait and see... I will explain it to you slowly later, cheers! My friend..."
"Well-intentioned... we'll see??" Jason Parro clinked his glasses with confusion, but soon smiled with relief...
"I may not really understand your culture, but I am learning from you... Just like what we are doing now, in Daliang you call it 'replacing wine with tea', right?"
"Clever! my friend!"
"Thank you! And thank you for the tea too! My friend!"
"Hahahahaha..."
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Looking at the two people laughing, Chiguo and Duowen were stunned for a moment. After all, they could feel that they were a bit tense just now, so why did they turn their faces and start laughing again?
I don’t understand…
I really don’t understand it…

at the same time……
The sight once again returned to Nagasaki from the European continent in the west...
"Send the order! Let the infantry of the Second Fleet quickly land and assemble on the coast! Head towards Nagasaki Castle! The Third Fleet bypasses Iojima to cover the landing of the Second Fleet! The entire First Fleet will follow the flagship! Move into Nagasaki Harbor
!Bombard the fortress in the center of Nagasaki Castle!!”
"yes!!"
As the messengers turned Yan Bing's orders into flags and sent them out one after another, the Second Fleet soon learned the commander's order through dozens of Xingtians in the air, and hundreds of navy soldiers swarmed up.
On the deck, he began to adjust the winch and put the small boats specially used for landing into the sea. Then he threw up a rattan ladder and prepared to go to the next small boat...
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who were fighting at sea for the first time, were already sick from vomiting just by drifting on the boats these past few days... Now they looked at the boats swaying with the waves and the rattan ladders hanging in the air, and swallowed.
saliva……
Under the command of the school officer, they grabbed the rattan ladder and slid down to their respective boats. Soon a large number of soldiers fell into the sea. Finally, with the help of their companions, they managed to climb onto the landing boat...
And similar scenes are constantly being staged next to dozens of other battleships...
He was lying on the side of the boat panting heavily, holding on to the oar handed to him by his colleague and refusing to let go. Although there were only a few landlubbers, it was still a mess...
Yan Bing was watching on the deck with a telescope... At this time, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh...
Before...she didn't understand why modern troops had such a magical organization as the Marine Corps...
Now...she understands...
The formation of the Marine Corps seems necessary...
Yan Bing slowly put down the telescope in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head...
There were very few Japanese soldiers stationed in Nagasaki. Occasionally, the few who rushed towards me holding firecrackers or samurai swords were either shot to death or blasted to pieces by the cannons on the battleships...
And when the remaining warriors saw that the situation was over, they hid in the castle one after another and planned to resist... The first fleet that had already advanced into the inner bay did not even give them the chance to commit suicide and commit seppuku. It only used one salvo to destroy the three-story building.
The little fortress was blown to smithereens...
Nagasaki...is a port city that has been open to the outside world for a long time. There may be more foreign businessmen here than local Japanese people, so how can they station a large army here...
The first battle was naturally a complete victory. When the fleet stationed in the port in batches and unloaded the infantry, baggage, and artillery from the ships in batches, Xu Hui followed the military order and led the 10,000 troops he had just assembled to march non-stop.
They attacked the headquarters of the Japanese army's main supplies during the southward expedition!
Kagoshima!!
Li Bing himself led the 10,000 infantry troops under Cao Yuanzhao's command and slowly attacked Kato Kiyomasa's location...
