Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty: I have a super system

Back from the long voyage to Batavia, Lin Yuhao always felt that he didn't ask the Hongyi Dutchman for reimbursement of military expenses along the way.What a pity, missed opportunity.

Seeing that they are about to reach the waters of Dayuan Island, the military expenses for this dispatch of troops have not yet been settled. .

Finally, after much deliberation, Lin Yuhao knew who to ask for reimbursement of military expenses.

Anyway, I came out, and I took a trip to Edo Bay in the island country.

Take your fleet to Edo Bay and flex your muscles there.The Tokugawa family in that small island country, they can't wait to send money to themselves!
If you can save money and avoid disaster, don't force yourself to use force.

After making up his mind, Lin Yuhao immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and head towards Edo Bay.

The current Edo shogun is Tokugawa Iemitsu, who has just gotten rid of his father's remote control politics for a few years.When I am at the peak of my life, I don't want to give people eye drops at this time.Looking for military expenses from others, I feel that I look down on them.

On October 15, the [-]th year of Tianqi, Lin Yuhao led the fleet to reach eight nautical miles outside Edo Bay.

The appearance of such a huge fleet has long attracted the attention of nearby island country military ships and shogunate fishing boats.

The Shimadzu clan had been eyeing them five days ago, and sent [-] Zhuyin warships and [-] Anzhai warships to follow them from afar.

The small displacement of Lin Yuhao's warship reached [-] tons.

However, the Zhuyin Ship and Anzhai Ship in the small island country have a maximum displacement of only [-] tons.

In front of Lin Yuhao's cruise ship, it looks like a small fishing boat.

Shimadzu Tadatoshi sent his general Huashan Jiushou with the fleet to follow behind, just to find out the origin of this fleet.

Moreover, people's boats are strong and cannons are fierce.It is not a wise move to start a war with someone before you have figured out what the situation is.

It's okay to win the battle, but the Shimadzu family lost the most.

But there is one thing to say, Huashan Jiushou really has no temper for the fleet in front.

Even if the ship is tall, the speed of sailing is still very fast.

It is more than three times the size of one's own warship, and it can't catch up with others at all.

If it weren't for his rich sailing experience, he could deduce the sailing route.I'm afraid I've lost track of him a long time ago, and it's unlikely that I'll follow him all the way to the sea outside Edo Bay.

The warship of the Shimadzu family was six nautical miles away from the fleet under Lin Yuhao's command, staring closely.Look at what this fleet wants to do when it comes here.

At this time, in the castle tower of Edo Castle, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Tokugawa shogunate, was leading all his retainers and generals to stare at this sudden visiting naval fleet through binoculars.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at the fleet of unknown origin in the distance, and asked, "Where do you guys think this fleet came from, and what are you doing here?"

Hearing Tokugawa Iemitsu's question, a middle-aged, short, wretched-looking retainer stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, General, I think we don't know their origins yet, so we should send someone to contact them. Look at them." What exactly do you want to do, wait until you figure out their intentions before formulating countermeasures.”

The retainer's proposal was seconded by the majority, so Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered: "Okay, just do as Watanabe-kun said. Watanabe-kun, it's hard work for you to go and ask."

The retainer named Watanabe immediately nodded and said, "Ha Yi, I'll do it right now."

Only two quarters of an hour later, Watanabe slowly approached Lin Yuhao's fleet in a small boat with seven guards.

Lin Yuhao also saw the boat at this time, and knew that it was someone from the Tokugawa shogunate to contact him.

So he ordered: "All warships enter the second-level combat readiness state, and wait for my order to bombard their coastline no-man's land at any time."

"Also, those people are here to contact us. Let Captain Xu Shancai meet them instead of me. Remember, you can't do business at a loss if you ask for more money."

The captain at the side, Xu Shancai, immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Lord Lin. The humble officer must collect a little more military expenses from these Japanese slaves."

Afterwards, Lin Yuhao came to sit in one of his offices on the Liaodong.Enjoy the pastries and fresh orange juice redeemed from the system, and wait for the final result.

Soon, Watanabe and his men boarded the flagship of the Liaodong.

According to Lin Yuhao's order, Captain Xu Shancai met them in the gun deck on the third floor.

When Watanabe saw Xu Shancai, he saw that he was wearing a starry sky blue navy uniform.He wears a navy blue beret and two four-stars on his shoulders.It seemed to be the leader of these people, and he immediately nodded and bowed his head and saluted, "My humble servant, Watanabe Katsutoshi, is a retainer of the Tokugawa family. Your Excellency must be the supreme commander of this fleet."

What Watanabe said, a gunner on the Liaodong ship who could speak Japanese immediately translated it to Xu Shancai.

When Xu Shancai heard that the other party was a retainer of the Tokugawa family, he didn't bother to talk to the other party.Looking at the gunner, he said, "Second Lieutenant Li, tell him. We are from Daming Liaodong, and we are a little tight recently. Ask them to pay some money, which is not a lot. Only 30 taels of silver, [-] catties of brass, and rice Thirty thousand stones of food."

"In addition, tell him that it's fine if you don't pay. Our fleet can bomb their cities right now."

Xu Shancai's words were translated to Watanabe in every detail.

Watanabe heard that there are so many warships coming from the other party.It is because they are short of money and want them to pay and send food.

Fortunately, the money required is not much, and 30 taels of silver is not a big mouth for a lion.

Watanabe looked at Xu Shancai and said again: "Your Excellency's condition, I already know. Please give me some time to go back and report this matter to my general."

Knowing what Watanabe said, Xu Shan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and report back. But there is one thing you need to understand, you are spending money to buy peace."

"At most three hours, I will see something. Otherwise, we will not only bombard the city. We will even wipe out your naval warships."

Hearing Xu Shancai's threatening words, he looked at the shiny black gun barrel behind him.Watanabe Katsutoshi immediately persuaded: "Hayi, I must report the truth to my general. Please wait patiently, and the money and food will be delivered on time."

Just like that, Katsutoshi Watanabe, who was a little weak-legged from being frightened by Xu Shancai.He quickly returned to the boat he was on, and immediately rushed back to report to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

After asking the price and threatening, Xu Shancai felt that the hard work of going to sea this time would definitely be paid for.

As soon as Watanabe disembarked from the ship, he rushed to report to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

After hearing Watanabe's report, Tokugawa Iemitsu said angrily: "Baga, what is this? If you have no money, you came to me from Daming to ask for money, and even threatened that you wouldn't give it to me." Money is the gun."

"Is this deceiving me that there is no one in the Tokugawa shogunate?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's words won the support of most people present.

Just when Tokugawa Iemitsu was about to order the army to be assembled, Lin Yuhao's fleet started shelling.

After the 32 ships were horizontal, they fired at the same time.

On the side facing Edo Bay, all the shells hit the uninhabited area.

But fifty of the shells were training shells, which did not explode after being fired.

But on the side facing the Shimadzu's fleet, all the bombs fired were training bombs.

The shells were fired with great precision, and they all fell into the water within three to six meters of the Shimadzu's warship.

The splashes from the shells entering the water splashed the sea water all over the soldiers of the Shimadzu family's navy.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at the place hit by the shell through the binoculars in the castle tower, and was instantly surprised.

Although there was no one in the place where the bomb was bombed, it was the place where live ammunition landed and exploded.A big crater was blown out, and the trees and stones there were all blown into debris.

Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that this was the other party warning him not to mess around.Otherwise, the next round of shelling will really hit their city.

The commander of the Shimadzu family's naval division, Huashan Jiushu, was also terrified by the sudden shelling.

Fortunately, the opponent had no intention of actually starting a war, otherwise he would have been sent to see Amaterasu by now.

His lieutenant-general hurried over and asked him, "Master General, shall we fight back? The opponent has already struck first."

Huashan Jiushou looked at the navy fleet in the distance and said, "No, we don't do anything. Just watch, the reason is simple. The opponent has the strength to kill us, but he didn't take advantage of the opportunity just now to kill us."

"To explain one thing, the opponent has no intention of launching a war. And the opponent has no intention of launching a war, so we can't do anything. Otherwise, we won't be able to sustain the opponent's two rounds of artillery fire."

Hearing what Huashan Jiushou said, the lieutenant nodded and said: "It's better for the general to be considerate, and I'll give you an order from the humble position. Let everyone not act rashly, just keep an eye on it."

After being warned by Lin Yuhao's fleet, Tokugawa Iemitsu also gave up his previous idea of ​​gathering troops.Looking at Katsutoshi Watanabe, he said: "Mr. Watanabe, go. Prepare money and food according to the request of the other party. Send them away as soon as possible, I don't want to see them again."

After receiving Tokugawa Iemitsu's order, Watanabe nodded and said, "Hayi, I'll do it right now."

Only an hour and a half later, Watanabe boarded the battleship Liaodong again with the silver, brass and grain that Xu Shancai asked for.

After Watanabe Katsutoshi nodded and bowed and handed over all the things to Xu Shancai, he turned around and ran away without stopping any longer.

After Xu Shancai received the silver, brass and grain, he immediately went to report to Lin Yuhao.

When Lin Yuhao heard that he had harvested 30 taels of silver, [-] catties of brass, and [-] shi of grain, he looked at Xu Shancai expressionlessly and said, "Old Xu, you are too small. If I went to negotiate, what I got .At least double the number, but it’s better than nothing. That’s it, let’s order to return.”

Xu Shancai, who received Lin Yuhao's military order, immediately went to the command room of the battleship.It's really cool to order the fleet to lift anchor and return, and take advantage of it and leave!
