Its geographical advantage is not just as simple as facing the sea with its back on the mountains...
Not only is the mountains of Kyushu Island in the east to help it block most of the typhoons, but to the west! There are also five islands and thousands of sea 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 reef-filled sea without any injuries! Successfully raid the port! Capture Nagasaki Castle!
Yan Bing slowly unfolded the Nagasaki coastal defense map presented to her by Zheng Hailong. It was closely marked on it. It also next to each reef in the picture, with a line of small words clearly recorded on which solar term this reef will be exposed to the sea during which time period, and after the high tide, it will be completely submerged within how many hours it will no longer be threatening...
The thousands of reefs and tens of thousands of words of detailed records drawn on this picture will only make people feel numb... I feel a lot of emotion... How much manpower and how much time it takes to draw such a drawing...
No wonder the Ryukyu Kingdom can use the coastal defense map as a bargaining chip for game with great powers... This investment of manpower and time alone is an incalculable wealth!
And this coastal defense map is just the tip of the iceberg among hundreds of ports of Japan, both large and small...
As an island country!
The Japanese people understand very well that their lifeline is the ubiquitous sea! So it is undoubtedly even more difficult to obtain all the coastal defense maps of the harbor from them!
Look at the entire country of Japan! The only person with all city defense maps and coastal defense maps! He lives on this Kyushu Island!
That is Japan's "infrastructure madman"!
Kiyoshi Kato!
This person has built countless cities in his life!
The most famous buildings, including Kumamoto Castle, Nagoya Castle, Ulsan Washi Castle, Edo Castle, Nagoya Castle, etc., were all made by him or were under his supervision... Therefore, Kiyomasa Kato, who loves "architecture", must have the city defense maps of these cities and the coast defense maps of the entire Japanese harbor towns!
Based on the original historical line...
The first Sino-Japanese War should have happened twenty years ago...
And Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself! He also ended in depression after being completely defeated in the second battle...
Not long after his death... Kiyomasa Kato, who has a kinship relationship with him, was also pushed to the stage of Japan's history. In order to preserve the blood of the Toyotomi family, he relied on his personal relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu for many years to mediate, hoping to prompt the two sides to reach a ceasefire, and eventually became sick through constant back and forth, and died of illness...
Therefore, due to the slight deviation in the timeline this time, not only Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not die... Even Kato Kiyoshi lived for more than ten years and is still here!
Then his sealed Kumamoto Castle! is Yan Bing’s next primary goal!!
But... it was not the original target Yan Bing pointed to Xu Hui!
At this moment... several fishermen weaving nets by the sea saw these giants passing through the strait between Fukue Island and Kama Island in an orderly manner, and slowly sailing towards Nagasaki Port... But they didn't care at all and still lowered their heads to weave their fishing nets...
Just think it was a Dutch merchant ship...
It was not until...the huge warships that were more than twice as big as the previous ones pushed away the surging waves and passed through the strait that the fishermen suddenly understood something! They quickly threw down the shuttle in their hands, jumped onto a reef, and looked to the west!
It was a huge fleet with almost no end to see!!
The busy crew members running back and forth on the ship all had yellow skin and black hair like him! They were not the Dutch's blonde and blue-eyed appearance! After seeing the lotus and auspicious dragon flags flying on the sailboat, the fishermen were completely stunned... their legs were weak and they collapsed on the reef...
At this time, no matter whether he goes to report the letter or rings the bell... it is useless...
I could only watch the fleet pass through the strait and gradually disappear into the sky...
"Tongruling the Third Fleet! Use the Zhoushan ship as the flagship, and the horizontal formation! Bombing the five rounds of Yiwang Island ahead!! The Second Fleet uses the Kaiyuan ship as the flagship, and the oblique formation bypasses the island in front from the north and goes straight to Nagasaki Port! Free shelling!"
"yes!!"
The flag commander was ordered to perform the order and carried out the execution. He completed it in one go and ran quickly towards the mast of the observation deck! On the observation deck, a flag commander had been waiting there for a long time... This is the standard combat readiness posture!
Yan Bing turned around and issued an order to another messenger: "The First Fleet of Tongling! Use the Chinsi as the flagship to launch an oblique formation! Bypass the Iwang Island in front from the south side and go straight to the south bank of Nagasaki Port!!"
"yes!!"
"First mate!!"
……………………
"First mate!! Call you!!" Seeing that Zhao Kaixuan did not react, Yan Bing stepped forward and knocked on his helmet. Zhao Kaixuan suddenly realized that he was no longer the captain... and not the main general... but the flagship mate of the First Fleet...
He quickly tapped his chest with his hands and shouted loudly: "The last one will be here!!"
"The command to release a Xingtian on the back deck, and ordered him to stand by ten miles east of Yiwang Island, and prepare to convey my commander's next order to the Third Fleet!!"
"yes!!"
After receiving the order, Zhao Kaixuan quickly walked to a pile of copper pipes. Each pipe here was covered with a flip cover, and the front of the flip cover clearly stated where the copper pipe led... So Zhao Kaixuan, who was originally responsible for issuing orders and waiting for others to convey, also had difficulty at this moment. He could only look at the lid one by one and look for them one by one...
The "first mate" on the side was obviously unable to bear it anymore, so he secretly stepped forward and tapped one of the lids with his hand, reminding him kindly... But Yan Bing happened to see this scene again, and even the first mate didn't let Zhao Kaixuan fuck him, and he rubbed him to the end.
After all, when the fight really started during the war, she was not in the mood to wait for this guy to slowly check the cover...
"You are the first mate before!? Now you will take over his position! Be the first mate of this coach!!"
"Ah?? Then...why am I doing..."
Zhao Kaixuan pointed at himself with a bitter look on his face.
"After I lead the leader landing, I will take over the position of captain!! Continue to command your navy!!"
"Okay! OK! This is OK!" Zhao Kaixuan was immediately happy when he heard this! But after a while... he gradually got back to the taste... turned his head and looked at the coach with a smirk, and asked in a low voice: "But Nagasaki was defeated at that time... What's the matter commanding??"
"Then... it's your business... Let's talk about it later..." Yan Bing smiled, picked up the telescope and walked to the deck...
Zhao Kaixuan was stunned and slapped in the same place. He slapped his thighs and sighed... It was so sad...
