Chapter 873 You can't control the depth of the sea
On the sea, the navy from Kyushu was charging in the fire of artillery and rockets.
Ships were destroyed by artillery fire and rockets, and the rest rushed forward with the water columns that soared into the sky, but when they were about to rush up, Ganchao was already walking away from the fleet.
The gunboats of the Gan Army not only have sharp artillery, but also fast speed. They fight against the Anzhai ship on the sea, just like cavalry fighting infantry.
These Anzhai ships that charge the oars are like infantry rushing towards the cavalry, and cannot catch up with the gunboats of the Gan Army.
Seeing the battleships hit by shells while chasing and ignited by rockets, the Shimazu Navy gradually became desperate.
At this time, the oarsmen on each of the Anzhai boats had their arms numb after a sprint, and the ships gradually slowed down.
"Boom boom boom!" Gan Chao's warship set sail and broke through the waves, sailing quickly while firing around the Anzhai ship.
In Edo Castle, on the Tensou Pavilion, the fourth-generation general Tokugawa Izunobu was shocked.
Although he was young, it can also be seen that the situation at sea was extremely unfavorable to the Jiuzhou Navy.
"The Shimazu army cannot catch up with the Ganchao gunboat, and shoots artillery without long-range attacks. They can only set bows and arrows and muskets on the Anzawa ship, and they cannot hurt the Ganjun warship at all!" Tokugawa Izuna gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, the Shimazu family lost, and the Tokugawa family also lost."
Gao Yan pretended to be sad, "Your Highness! I have advised several elders to tell them that the navy was powerful, but they insisted on not listening. Now, after suffering from this crushing defeat, the negotiations will become even more passive!"
"I regret not listening to Kasumi!" Tokugawa's Izunobu regretted it in his heart.
Gao Jian took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, you are the shogunate general, and you should be the one who decides Japan. The elders are already confused and cannot let them make decisions for You!"
Tokugawa Izuna looked at Takaya. His old families controlled the shogunate. He was dissatisfied in his heart and could not help but nodded, "Kansan, you are so loyal!"
Outside the Izakaya, Masayuki and others were all stunned.
The originally imagined sneak attack turned into a hunting of the Kanchao fleet against the Kyushu Navy.
They were shocked by the rockets flying all over the sky with ten gunboats.
"Honor! Stop it! The gap is too big, the Satsuma Navy cannot be destroyed!" Several samurai suddenly dragged down Shimazu Kokuha standing at the bow of the ship.
But Shimazu Kokuhiro's eyes turned red. He broke away from his retainers, stood at the bow of the ship again, waved his knife and roared, "Give it to the press!"
The shells fell around the Anzhai ship, but did not hit Shimazu Kokusa. The navy soldiers were inspired by him and rowed desperately. The ship broke through the waves and rushed to the front soon.
At this time, Huang Fei noticed the more prominent Anzhai ship and hurriedly called, "Shoot the bird out of the head and bombard the Anzhai ship."
More than thirty artillery aimed at the approaching enemy ships and suddenly opened fire together.
The gunboat fired volleys on the side, and the shells formed a terrifying barrage, which directly saturated the direction of the Anzhai ship.
With a loud "bang", a shell hit the bow of the ship and wood chips splashed.
"Ah!" Shimazu Kokusa screamed and fell to the ground with his eyes covered.
The retainers hurriedly dragged him down, and saw a broken piece of wood inserted into their eyes, covered in blood, and looked extremely terrifying.
The golden sound of "dingding" sounded, and the navy in Jiuzhou was as if he was amnesty. He quickly turned the bow of the ship and rowed desperately to escape.
Zhou Yanru had a dark face, "Zhongsang! What's going on?"
The big bosses such as Masayuki Sakai, Tadaokazu Sakai all looked ashen and were both shocked and frightened.
"This~" Tadaoka Sakai was speechless for a moment.
Masato Koko was quick to explain, and he quickly explained: "Zhou Yizheng, we came here to inform you that the navy of Kyushu did not obey the orders of the Tokugawa shogunate and came to attack the fleet of the Celestial Empire!"
Zhou Yanru snorted coldly, "These fleets were called by the shogunate! I think you have no sincerity in negotiating!"
"Zhou discussed politics, and there were many Japanese princes, and the Tokugawa family did not truly unify Japan." Masatoshi ended, "Japan has its own national conditions here, I hope to understand."
Zhou Yanru snorted coldly, and with his Buddha's sleeve, he took his subordinates away.
Bao Ke Zhengzhi and others quickly stopped him and begged: "Zhou Yizheng, please give us another chance. We will definitely give you a satisfactory reply!"
"Zhou Yizheng, please!" Masayuki Boko led a group of shogunate masters and bowed 90 degrees together.
Seeing this, Zhou Yanru said in a deep voice: "I will give you a chance. I will give me a reply before dawn. Otherwise, the fleet will shell Edo Castle and then bombard the big board to destroy all the cities along your coast!"
When Bao Ke Zhengzhi and others heard this, they quickly bowed to thank him, "Aligado Gouza Imas!"
In the Tensou Pavilion, the Tokugawa Shogunate held an emergency meeting.
Tokugawa Ietsunobu was calm and very dissatisfied with Masayuki Boko and others. They had to launch a sneak attack before, but now the sneak attack failed and the negotiations were extremely passive, but they had to go to the negotiations again.
"Your Highness, come up with a plan that can take into account the interests of the shogunate and meet the Qian Dynasty as soon as possible!" Baoko's righteous way.
Tokugawa Izunobu said annoyedly: "The previous conditions can be discussed, but now I am defeated again, how can I discuss them?"
Masato Boko was a little worried, but he still said, "Then you have to come up with a plan as soon as possible, otherwise after dawn, the Qianchao fleet is very likely to shell Edo and retaliate."
Tokugawa Izunobu was broken and said, "My bottom line is that I cannot open a port in Edo, nor can I let the Kan people enter Edo."
Tokugawa Izuno glanced at everyone and his eyes fell on Takaya, "Kamisan, you will negotiate with the Kanren. I hope you can keep my bottom line and try to abolish some conditions that are unfavorable to the shogunate!"
"Hi!" Gao Yan immediately saluted when he heard the words.
At that moment, Takaya hurried to Izakaya and negotiated with Zhou Yanru. Boko Masayuki, Sakai Tadashi and other bigwigs watched.
At this time, Takaya and Zhou Yanru had a fierce confrontation. In the end, Zhou Yanru promised not to open a port in Edo, not to establish an embassy in Edo, and to reduce the compensation to one million, but Zhou Yanru proposed a new condition that the Tokugawa shogunate could not develop a naval army.
Zhou Yanru and Gao Jian had communication in advance, so they quickly discussed their respective conditions and basically reached a consensus.
Faced with the unreasonable request of the Qian Dynasty, Masatsuki Boko couldn't help but interrupt: "Zhou Yizheng, why can you Qian Dynasty develop a navy, but our shogunate cannot develop a navy?"
Japan has always admired the strong. After witnessing the fierce power of the Qian Dynasty fleet, the shogunate bosses also wanted to develop the navy and protect themselves.
Zhou Yanru said seriously and sincerely: "Masato! The water on the sea is very deep. If you Tokugawa shogunate cannot grasp it, you should not participate in the disputes at sea. Listen to our advice, stay on the island with peace of mind. The outside world is very dangerous and is not suitable for your Tokugawa shogunate!"
