Chapter 146: The Great Fire of Edo
As a general, Tokugawa Iemitsu enjoyed the best treatment in Japan. That morning, he was lying in the dormitory near Ou Origawa Ring, holding a beautiful woman with a beautiful face in his arms. The female official outside had called several times to urge him to get up, but Tokugawa Iemitsu obviously didn't want to leave the Gentle Land so early.
As the most powerful person in Japan, Tokugawa Iemitsu was very diligent in the past and rarely had time to sleep in. But last time Yan Fei came over and bombed half of Edo Castle with a cannon, he also blackmailed him a piece of astronomical gold.
However, the shogunate army, which was proud in the past, had no resistance when facing those large iron ships, and even had no power to fight back. All of this made Tokugawa Iemitsu suffer a heavy blow and was discouraged.
After that, he handed over a lot of work and power to many big men under his command, and he tried to avoid the troubles of many beauties all day long.
Just as Tokugawa Iemitsu was in high spirits in the morning and impatiently prepared to let the female officer outside walk away and do morning exercises by herself, a faint explosion sound came from the distant sky!
The shogun, who was originally still holding the sky, turned pale and soft in an instant. The dense explosion sound instantly made him recall the terrible day that he would never want to remember again.
Tokugawa Iegawa, who was not well-dressed, rushed out in a kimono and carried a waist knife, while the entire Oo outside was already in chaos. The memory of the last terrifying shelling appeared in everyone's mind again.
Yoshihara-cho, a group of sailors with skin that were blown by the sea breeze like orange peels supported each other and walked out of the tea house with many maids. Everyone's face was filled with drunken blush and the pride of relaxation after extreme joy.
Because they had to ask for help, the shogunate quickly distributed a large amount of money and grain to the navy troops everywhere who came here by boat. After all, if they wanted to invite people to fight, they still had to pay the necessary money and grain.
Although most of these money and grains were divided by the samurai team, the sailors below were able to get some. The sailors who got the money all went to tea houses and gambling stalls everywhere in groups. After indulging overnight, the sailors who came out couldn't even stand firmly.
These sailors laughed and shouted, releasing their emotions. This may be the most proud time in their lives. They came from the countryside to the prosperous Edo Castle, and also got the women of Edo Castle. This is enough for them to blow for the rest of their lives!
However, at this moment, they all saw large clusters of fire and smoke rising from the harbor in the distance! And the thunderous explosion sounded roaring!
Originally, after the shogunate tyrants handed over the money and food, they asked these people to drive the ships out as soon as possible to spread them. However, the sailors who received the money and food had already gone crazy. Moreover, the ships in the harbor were so crowded that they could not move at all. The ships beside them were not their own, and once they moved, they might be diplomatic disputes.
For various reasons, the matter of sailing out to sea was delayed until Yan Fei drove a female deer here.
After locking the many wooden ships hundreds of meters away into the heart, Yan Fei raised his hand and knocked on his holographic helmet, then pressed the launch button "Goodbye!"
‘Swoosh swish swish swish~~~’ Rockets dragging long white smoke roared out from under the wings. After crossing hundreds of meters, they hit one wooden boat after another under the horrified gaze of many ships!
In fact, in this case of crowded ships, it is much more difficult for Yan Fei to not hit the target than to hit the target.
Amid the roaring explosion, a large ball of fire and smoke rose into the air. All kinds of debris, broken wooden blocks, and broken limbs and broken arms were thrown into the sky.
The explosion ignited a huge fire, and the raging flames ignited everything on the ship that could burn, from the sails to the deck, from the ropes to the crew. What was especially fatal was that many ships were equipped with cannons and medwigs.
Japan in this era was an era of half-fire-armed and semi-cold weapons, and many ships were equipped with a large number of firearms.
The use of these firearms requires gunpowder, which is usually stored in oak barrels. You must be careful to pay attention to safety on weekdays. At this time, as the fire spreads, it will be quickly ignited without any accident.
Although it is just black gunpowder, it is an explosive weapon after all. After being ignited by the fire, it explodes like giant firecrackers, and it will blow everything around it into powder.
Yan Fei knocked out half of the rockets, which was sixty-four. These rockets hit dozens of ships, knocking the ships to pieces and igniting them. When the powder barrel exploded, not only did the ship and the people on the ship be destroyed. Flying flames and burning pieces fell into the nearby ships, allowing the flames to spread out quickly.
The thick mast slowly broke and fell with a chewing sound that made people's teeth sore, and everything hit would be crushed into powder. The cannons that were blown into the sky turned around and fell down, either smashing a big hole in the boat, slamming people into the body and squeezed out all their intestines, or landing in the sea to stir up waves.
The boats are burning, the sails are burning, and people are burning, even the sea water is burning.
The fire of gunpowder, the roaring explosion and the shrill howl of the dying man seemed to make the entire sea boil.
Yan Fei in the female deer was also a little stunned. He did not expect that the attack would be so effective.
When he was emptying the two rocket nests before, he had already discovered that the ships in the port were surrounded by gunpowder smoke and fire. Almost all the exits on the outside were Yan Fei's first attack target. After being blocked, the ships inside could only wait to be burned by the spreading fire.
Hundreds of ships were blocked in the harbor by fires and sinking shipwrecks. As the fire continued to spread, none of the ships in the harbor could escape.
There are not many people on these ships, but there are still many. At least each ship has a certain number of left-behind personnel.
Looking at the fire that is constantly raging, listening to the tragic screams in the sea of fire, smelling the pungent smell of gunpowder between your mouth and nose, and feeling the burning smell of fire in the air. All the living people fled to the shore like crazy. Some unlucky guys who accidentally fell into the water could only be cooked into cooked frogs by the constantly heating sea water!
"It's so miserable." Yan Fei pushed away the mask of the holographic helmet and looked at the Hellfire Sea in the distance and said with compassion.
After confirming that the sailboats in the harbor could not escape the sea of fire, Yan Fei informed the fleet that had entered Edo Bay to come to clean up and finish. He himself took advantage of the oil transfer and flew towards Edo Castle.
There was no strong wind today, so it was unrealistic to rely on dozens of incendiary bombs to burn the entire Edo Castle. Yan Fei's target was Oo where Tokugawa Iemitsu was located, that is, Tokugawa Iemitsu himself.
The so-called Great Ao is a presence similar to the Hou and Palace. It is full of women, and no other man can enter except the general.
Although the attack on the Olympic Games caused a large number of casualties, the evil deeds that Japan did when invaded China in the modern world were so numerous that Japan had done. There were countless Chinese people who were annihilated in the hands of those beasts, and at this time there were no innocent people here.
There is a saying that is very good, there is no wronged soul under the atomic bomb. This sentence is truly a word.
The female deer with propellers whistling and rotating passed through the low, dilapidated and chaotic bungalow areas. Soon, a large area appeared in front of her and looked like a luxurious building that was incompatible with the previous slums.
This large building is surrounded by a river and is isolated from other areas around it. The area here is very large, and Yan Fei visually estimates that it will have at least more than 20,000 square meters in the air. Moreover, the building is also very beautiful, with all the buildings and pavilions.
"What a beautiful place." Yan Fei turned his head and looked at the beautiful buildings below through the porthole and the crowds running around. He smiled calmly and found a good location to hover slowly in the air more than 100 meters high. The Vulcan machine cannon on the nose and the weapons mounted under the thick and short wings all pointed at the Dao hundreds of meters away.
"Let's disappear completely with this country!" A bloody color flashed in Yan Fei's eyes, and he pressed the launch button in his hand vigorously. The remaining sixty-four rockets in the rocket nest squirted out and fell from the sky and landed everywhere in the Great Ao.
Except for luxury and beauty, Da'ao is all women. In other aspects, especially in terms of materials, there is no difference from other private houses. Except for Tianshou Pavilion, the building materials are all wood, bamboo and reeds.
The biggest characteristic of these materials is that they are flammable, and they will be ignited as long as there is fire.
Although Japanese people often encounter fires, they have extremely rich experience in firefighting, and various firefighting equipments here in Da'ao are also very complete. But they are all for dealing with ordinary fires. There is no way to deal with the killing weapons from the industrial era hundreds of years later.
Those lit fires cannot be extinguished at all. The result of watering will even make the fire more intense. If the flames are contaminated with people, it will be even more fatal. No matter what method is used, it cannot be extinguished.
"Sir, help me!" When Tokugawa Iemitsu was walking through the smoke and fleeing outside, a beautiful kimono rushed out of the burning house beside him and rushed to Tokugawa Iemitsu's feet and begged shrillly. On one of her arms, there was a blue flame with a palm burning faintly.
Tokugawa Iemitsu knew this beautiful woman, and he was a senior girl who was about to be erected as a side room. Seeing the woman's beautiful face full of hideous faces twisted by pain, Tokugawa Iemitsu hesitated for a moment, and shook up his long sleeves to try to extinguish the flames.
If it were a modern person who knew the relevant knowledge, no one would do such suicide.
Because this flame with coagulant and aluminum shavings cannot be directly in contact. As long as it is stained, unless it is cut off with the belt and flesh, the only consequence is to be burned to ashes.
Tokugawa Iemitsu wrapped the woman's fire-burning arm with his sleeve. He thought that this would be possible to extinguish the flames. But when he took off the sleeves, he was stunned to see that the flames on the woman's arm were still there.
