Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 373 Attack

"Idiot, don't say such things in the future." Shimadzu Tadahiro scolded.

Just kidding, Daming is no better than Portugal, the Portuguese, if they are caught, they will be arrested, and if they are killed, they will be killed.

If he dared to arrest the merchants of Ming Dynasty casually, especially the imperial merchants representing the emperor, the consequences would not be something he, a small feudal leader, could bear.

Such a thing can only be done by the Tokugawa shogunate, because the Tokugawa shogunate is the leader of Japan.

If the Shimadzu family did it alone, and Daming blamed it, the Satsuma clan might be sold by the Tokugawa family without knowing it.

"Patriarch, shouldn't we not redeem people?" someone asked.

"Let's see what the shogunate said. If the shogunate can pay half of the money, my Shimadzu family can pay the other half." Shimadzu Tadahiro said.

Soon, Shimadzu Tadahiro wrote a letter to the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Shimadzu Tadahiro is dreaming. Does he know how much 50 taels of silver is? Tell him that the shogunate allowed him to arrest the Ming businessman and exchange prisoners with the Ming emperor."

Soon, news of the Tokugawa shogunate spread back to the Satsuma domain.

"We will come by ourselves. We have an order from the shogunate. Even if something happens in the future, the shogunate will take care of us." Shimadzu Tadahiro said fiercely.

At this stage, Japan is not afraid of Ming Dynasty even though it is a little in awe of it.

If there is fear, there will be no outbreak of the Korean War tomorrow.

Since the Tokugawa shogunate authorized the arrest of merchants from the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate would support them if Daming blamed them in the future.

"Call 3000 people and let Zhongqing take them to Nagasaki to arrest Ming businessmen." Shimadzu Tadahiro issued an order.

After Shimadzu Tadahiro decided to go to Nagasaki to arrest the merchants of the Royal Firm, soon the entire Satsuma domain was mobilized.

Countless samurai received the notice, and then came to a port west of Kagoshima.

At this time, dozens of large ships have already docked in the port.

The samurai waited at the port for several days, and after a few days when everyone was present, the samurai boarded the ship and headed for Nagasaki.

At the time when the Satsuma clan was operating on a large scale, this news naturally couldn't be hidden from some merchants from Ming Dynasty and other countries.

Before the Satsuma army arrived in Nagasaki, Chen Guangping had already received the news.

But at this moment, it was already too late for him to do anything.

Because the [-] shogunate troops stationed in Nagasaki had surrounded the Royal Trading House, and the leader of this army, Arima Harunobu, also demanded that Chen Guangping and others hand over their weapons and be tied up.

Faced with such an unreasonable request, Chen Guangping naturally would not agree. He led three hundred musketeers to defend the business building and confront the Nagasaki garrison.

"Made, the Japanese are crazy, they dared to attack us, if our family hadn't been vigilant, we might have been deceived." Chen Guangping said after a moment of fear.

A few days ago, Harunobu Arima, the chief of the Nagasaki garrison, invited Chen Guangping to a banquet, but the vigilant Chen Guangping refused.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Arima Harunobu led troops to surround the Daming Royal Commercial Hall, and asked Chen Guangping and everyone else to hand over their weapons and surrender.

"Has the news spread?" Chen Guangping asked one of his subordinates.

"Return to my lord, the news has been passed on, I believe the court will know and respond soon." A subordinate replied.

"Let your people cheer me up. If the Japanese dare to attack the trading house, they will beat me hard. Even if we die in battle, there will be a high pension from the imperial court. The trading house will also arrange jobs for your relatives." .” Chen Guangping encouraged his subordinates.

"Your Excellency is right, if the Japanese dare to attack, we must let them try their best." Someone said.

"Ma Qingxin is just letting people surround us but not attacking. You think they are planning to trap us here?" someone asked.

"Arima Harunobu is waiting for people from the Satsuma clan to come, and the Satsuma clan is the main force to attack us." Chen Guangping said to his subordinates.

At this time, there were more than 300 Royal Musketeers in the Royal Merchant.There are 3000 Japanese garrisons surrounding the shop, ten times the number of the Royal Musketeers, so everyone in the shop is very vigilant.

Even if they were sleeping, two waves of people slept in batches, for fear that the Japanese would launch a sudden attack.

"How long can our food and water last?" Chen Guangping asked one of his subordinates.

"My lord, I can last for about a month. If I save it, it will only be a month and a half." The subordinate replied.

"One and a half months... I hope I can last that long." Chen Guangping said flatly, "I also hope that the reinforcements will come soon."

In Nagasaki City, the two sides were in a stalemate like this. Although Arima Harunobu led [-] troops to surround the Royal Trading House, he did not launch an attack.

It wasn't until a few days later that dozens of large ships from the Satsuma Domain arrived with more than 3000 samurai.

After the samurai from the Satsuma domain arrived, they did not immediately participate in the battle, but because they had a day's rest in Nagasaki Castle.

The next day, Tadakiyoshi Shimadzu, commander of the army of the Satsuma Domain, switched positions with Harunobu Arima's army.

"My lord, the Shimadzu family has sent an envoy." Someone reported to Chen Guangping.

"I'm just here to persuade you to surrender. If you don't see me, tell Shimazu Tadakiyo, if you want to fight, then fight, if not, then get out." Chen Guangping ordered his men.

Outside the Royal Commercial Hall, Shimadzu Zhongqing heard Chen Guangdai's words, snorted coldly and said: "Since Chen Guangping doesn't know how to flatter, then teach him some lessons, pass my order, attack in, and catch everyone."

Under the order of Shimadzu Tadakiyo, countless Satsuma warriors launched attacks on the Royal Commercial House from all directions.

"shooting!"

Outside the royal trading house, countless Japanese musketeers shot at the trading house, and in the trading house, the musketeers also shot at the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

Musketeers guarded in all directions, behind walls, in windows, and on roofs.

Soldiers from the Satsuma clan were on the streets, and some were around the windows and on the roofs.

Seeing the attack by the soldiers of the Satsuma domain, the three hundred musketeers in the shop also pulled the trigger on the attacking Japanese samurai.

After entering Nagasaki, the Royal Merchant Building built a tall wall. In addition to preventing people from stealing, it can also play a protective role.

Now, the walls around the business hall have played a very good protective role.

The Royal Musketeers stood behind the fence and could easily shoot the charging Japanese soldiers.

However, it was difficult for the Japanese soldiers in the distance to attack the Royal Musketeers with only one head exposed.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
As the Satsuma soldiers attacked, for a while, the sound of muskets firing continued, like setting off firecrackers.

As the Royal Musketeers opened fire, the Japanese samurai fell one by one.

Although some charging Japanese samurai were protected by shields, the powerful kinetic energy of the flintlock bullets could easily penetrate the shields and then attack the soldiers behind the shields.

Within a quarter of an hour of the exchange of fire between the two sides, the Japanese soldiers lost at least more than 100 people, while the Royal Musketeers only suffered a few casualties.

As soon as the battle started, the powerful firepower of the Royal Musketeers slowed down the attack of the Satsuma army. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone had to retreat.

"Da Ming's iron cannons are too powerful, and they are very accurate. Our iron cannons are no match at all." Someone said to Shimazu Zhongqing.

The iron cannon he was talking about was, of course, the Japanese arquebus.

Because of the poor airtightness of this matchlock gun, the effective killing distance of the bullet is less than [-] meters.

It is completely different from the broken hair muskets equipped by the Royal Musketeers by several generations.

"Since Mingren's iron cannons are powerful, we will launch an attack at night."
