Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After receiving the order, Liu Yuxi immediately ordered the First Combined Fleet to set sail from Penglai Naval Port and Jinghai Naval Port, and then converge on Jeju Island.

Finally, the First Combined Fleet, with more than a hundred surface ships of various sizes, headed towards Nagasaki in the Sakura Country.

At this time, a large number of Sakura Country soldiers gathered in Nagasaki and were searching for property in the city.

And because Nagasaki had resisted the Sakura Kingdom, seven out of ten people in Nagasaki City had been massacred or driven away by the Sakura Kingdom.

At this time, there were not many civilians in the city.

Therefore, Liu Yuxi decided to go to Nagasaki as his first stop to teach the Sakura Country soldiers still in Nagasaki a lesson.

Liu Yuxi and the others left the port at around 8 p.m., and then spent the day in Jeju Island. They would not arrive in Nagasaki at sea until the early morning of the third day.

The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs played another trick here. They held a press conference, and the time was set at eight o'clock in the evening.

This means that from the time they held the press conference to the arrival of the First Combined Fleet in Nagasaki, Sakura Country was only given 12 hours.

Moreover, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only said that it would teach Sakura Country some lessons to let them understand the consequences of not respecting the king and not listening to the empire's warnings, but it did not explain how the empire would sanction Sakura Country.

This means that in these 12 hours, Sakura Kingdom must analyze where the first target of the Imperial United Fleet is.

Suddenly, the entire Sakura Kingdom was in a hurry.

Some people say that Daxia's fleet should be in Yokohama Bay. After all, Yokohama Bay is now the busiest port in Sakura Country, and it is where Kyoto in Sakura Country is located.

Only by capturing Yokohama Bay will the Sakura Country be given the greatest shock.

Some people believe that the Daxia people’s goal should be the Shimonoseki Strait. Because cutting off the Shimonoseki Strait is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Honshu Island and Kyushu Island.

This is just like Daxia's occupation of Kyushu Island. It first occupied the Shimonoseki Strait and then occupied Kyushu Island.

The two opinions were at loggerheads, and each had their own reasons, but Liu Yuxi did not intend to give Sakura Country too much time to argue about this matter.

Liu Yuxi ordered the fleet to advance at full speed.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the First Combined Fleet of the Daxia Empire arrived in the waters of Nagasaki, and then without any warning or notification, it directly launched an artillery bombardment on Nagasaki as soon as it arrived in the waters of Nagasaki. .

Since Sakura Kingdom's maritime power has not yet been restored and its main battleships are still old warships from more than 20 years ago and are scarce in number, Liu Yuxi did not leave any warships on guard at all.

Instead, he ordered more than a hundred battleships to attack Nagasaki.

Suddenly, Nagasaki Castle instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

In just three hours, Nagasaki was reduced to ruins.

Then, Liu Yuxi continued to give orders for the First United Fleet to continue southward and attack all cities along the current coastline of Sakura Country.

In each city, no matter how big or small, just shoot a volley, and then move on to the next city.

And Liu Yuxi's ultimate goal is Yokohama Port.

However, Liu Yuxi did not dare to bombard Yokohama Port. After all, this was the core location of the Sakura Kingdom. He was also afraid that after his bombing, the Sakura Kingdom would become weak.

He knew Lin Yi's plan, and he didn't dare to go against Lin Yi's wishes.

Therefore, Liu Yuxi planned to adopt a siege method for Yokohama Port.

On the Sakura Country side, they got the news as soon as Liu Yuxi bombarded Nagasaki.

But, what can you do if you know? Daxia showed no mercy at all, and struck hard as soon as he came up, turning Nagasaki into ruins.

Then they blasted all the way along the coastline of Kyushu Island, leaving no face for Sakura Country.

What Daxia did was like a slap in the face of Sakura Country, and this slap was extended to Sakura Country on its own initiative.

This turned Taisho Tianhao and Seiichi Terauchi into a joke.

Well, over the years, it seems that he, Taisho, has been a joke... His achievements and efforts cannot compare to his father, Meiji Tensho.

He wanted to strengthen Sakura Country, but Daxia didn't give them this chance at all.

Now, he has given Sakura Country a few big slaps, and some of them are confused.

I can only pray in my heart that Daxia has been angry enough, so he should return home quickly and stop fighting.

However, his idea did not come true. Liu Yuxi led the fleet, starting from Nagasaki, all the way south, destroying seventeen cities, large and small, and then crossed the Toyo Strait and arrived at Shikoku Island.

Then, Liu Yuxi did what he did on Kyushu Island again on Shikoku Island, and then moved towards Honshu Island.

The Sakura Kingdom ships following Daxia's First United Fleet were not willing to stop them at all.

In other words, he wanted to go, but his strength did not allow it.

The Sakura Kingdom light cruiser could only follow behind the First Combined Fleet, inform the Sakura Kingdom cabinet in advance of the Combined Fleet's next target, and then ask the cabinet to notify the civilians in the city to evacuate.

Liu Yuxi saw what Sakura Country was doing, but he didn't care.

Liu Yuxi's trip was, firstly, to vent his anger and teach Sakura Country a lesson. Secondly, he wanted to destroy the coastal cities and increase the fear of the civilians in Sakura Country.

Liu Yuqi didn't care that the civilians of Sakura Country lived in the city.

Finally, after destroying more than a dozen cities on Honshu Island, Liu Yuxi finally arrived at Yokohama Port in the sea.

Then Liu Yuxi ordered the Yokohama Port to be blocked and no ships were allowed to leave or enter the port.

As Liu Yuxi blocked the port, some foreign ships blocked in the port protested, saying that they were only coming to Sakura Country for normal trade, and Daxia had no reason not to let them go with them.

Liu Yuxi's answer was very straightforward. He directly told the merchant ships of those countries that the empire had not opened Yokohama Port to trade with other countries at all.

Why are you merchant ships here?

In addition, the empire originally just thought that it would be difficult for everyone to do trade, so it always turned a blind eye to countries calling at Yokohama Port.

Now you dare to threaten the empire and order the empire.

That's ok. Please bring out the cargo list, tax payment certificate and docking pass.

With these three certificates, his First United Fleet will be released. If not, they will stay in the port.

Liu Yuxi's answer was very tough, and the merchant ships from various countries who directly attacked him were speechless.

Daxia has issued relevant regulations a long time ago. No matter who wants to stop within the empire's sphere of influence, they must declare it first.

After receiving a reply and obtaining proof of tax payment, you can enter the port and dock.

There are too many things involved. Simply put, this kind of certificate is easy to apply for and requires very little tax.

At the same time, there are two types of docking permissions, one is the docking right at a single port, and the other is the docking right for all ports within the sphere of influence.

There is not much difference in price between the two types of parking certificates, so generally speaking, if you apply, you must apply for a pass within the driving range.

In order to promote trade, the empire even implemented a tax-free policy for some agricultural and sideline products, that is, free passes.

Therefore, normally, merchant ships that come in through normal means should have these three certificates.

If not, then according to current terms, it is smuggling.
