105 Explosion
The location where the little ghost of Fog Hidden hides gunpowder is very hidden. The piles of cargoes fixed with rope nets that can often be seen on the docks. Inside the four largest piles of cargoes, there are 100 kilograms of black gunpowder hidden each.
The little ghost of Fog Hidden once carefully calculated that these four gunpowder piles just controlled the core area of the dock open space. If a battle occurred, this would be the most tragic battlefield. If Xiao Letian wanted to command the battle, he had to go into the dangerous place himself. At that time, as long as the pile of gunpowder that was closest to him was lit, he would undoubtedly die.
In the hands of the little ghost of Mizuho, there is a Japanese secret fire meteor. This kind of grease-filled firearm is hard to extinguish once it is ignited, and it is very fast and difficult to resist.
"Gunpowder... ambush..." Bing Tai and Qianxia collapsed on the street entrance in the distance, shouting with all their last strength, and two dangerous Chinese phrases stormed back and forth in the air of the dock.
At the critical moment, we still have to look at the Green Forest master. Xiang Shaolong knew with a glance that this fire meteor could not be stopped by him. Master Long jumped into a tiger pounce and directly crushed Xiao Letian to the ground.
"Die Arhat... Protect the Lord..." Master Long went crazy. When he heard the word "gunpowder", he was already scared and sweated.
Following closely behind was a group of the most loyal guards. They pounced on Xiao Letian one by one, making him almost die of breath. "Let go... let go..." Xiao Letian couldn't even say anything.
There is no reason on the battlefield, and all people's actions are subconscious. When the people saw these soldiers who were like Mount Tai to protect Lord Xiao, they rushed up.
"Protect Master...Protect Master Xiao..." The crowd rushed up like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, a big ball piled up on the dock. Updated as soon as possible
At this moment, the fire meteor drew a tricky trajectory into the pile of goods, followed by a burst of explosions that collapsed and cracked from the ground. The shock wave swept across the entire dock, and everyone within a radius of ten meters in the center of the explosion were thrown out.
The human body in the center of the explosion flew in the air like a rag doll. The broken wooden box and cargo fragments fell down like rain. The largest one with the character "Xiao" flag rolled out. Finally, the end of the bamboo pole was inserted into the crack of the wooden board. The flag was blown and destroyed.
More than 200 people and soldiers around the center of the explosion died on the spot, and more than 300 people were injured by the shock wave. The burning wood chips fell like fire rain, and the empty space of the pier completely turned into Shura hell.
Fortunately, the four gunpowder burial points were far enough, and there was no chain reaction in this explosion. If all four piles of gunpowder exploded, then more than 2,000 Chinese present would be wiped out.
The power of the shock wave cannot be underestimated. When the explosion occurred, even the little Mizuki Gui and No Heita, who were far away on the roof, lay down to avoid it. When the power of the explosion had just dissipated, the little Mizuki jumped up excitedly and turned into two fire meteors in his hand. "Qing Guoshou, go to die..."
"You go and die first, the murderer..." Before the little ghost of Fujihiro finished speaking, the sword wind blew across her back, and No Heita had already rushed up.
Noheita really couldn't figure out how these people were so cruel. It was not enough to provoke a civil war between the Japanese and Qing people. They even used gunpowder as ambush. Is it pleasure for them to kill people? Noheita was merciless and went straight to the vital points of the Mizuho Devil. This cunning woman couldn't resist it, so she had to run away to the back mountain.
The violent explosion on the dock alarmed all the forces in Naha Port. The first thing that was shocked was the foreigners on the sea. When the explosion sounded, all the merchant ships almost subconsciously pushed open the gun door, and the black muzzle was facing the dock and waiting for the captains to give the order.
But in the end, the captains chose to be neutral. They watched hundreds of Chinese people be killed and Xiao Letian's flag was blown away. Everyone thought that Xiao Letian would definitely die.
"Keep neutral, we continue to remain neutral. At present, it seems that the defeat of the people in the country has been decided. Without the guidance of heroes, it is impossible for these people who are like scattered sand to maintain their combat effectiveness..."
Countless merchant ships were communicating light signals, and all the captains made neutral decisions almost at the same time. At this time, just north of the merchant ship group, a fleet was quickly approaching the dock of Naha. Please visit more and faster chapters.
"Report to the captain, Japanese ships closed down in the north. They asked us to give way and they wanted to land at the dock..." After a while, countless lookout hands began to report the latest situation to the captains of each family.
"What? The Japanese dispatched their navy?" At that moment, all the captains were surprised. Although everyone looked down on the Japanese warships from the Middle Ages, they knew that these warships carrying primitive cannons could not even defeat Western merchant ships, but for civilians it was a one-sided massacre.
The sailors with a trace of conscience in their hearts held his musket tightly. They seemed to have seen the scene of Japanese shutdown artillery fire and massacre of Chinese people. And they could also guess that these merchant ship captains would definitely remain neutral. Updated as soon as possible
But what everyone unexpected was that the American merchant ship Enterprise suddenly emitted a light signal. He actually refused Japan's behavior of closing the ship on the grounds of chaos in the sea and unable to avoid it.
A stone caused a thousand waves, and the Enterprise took the lead in action. All the American merchant ships on the sea clearly stated that they refused to give way. The merchant ships of other countries did not know what the Americans were doing, but for the common interests of the Westerners, they could only follow the American merchant ships to send signals.
At the most critical moment, Xiao Letian was the master of Western Studies who helped him. The American captains not only looked at the foreign gun trade with Xiao Letian before, but also were very close to Xiao Letian in terms of their relationship.
Although the merchants could not directly provide military support to Xiao Letian, they were still very happy to cause trouble to the Japanese.
The Japanese ship was full of lights, and countless figures were running back and forth. Maybe they didn't expect that these foreigners were so tough and did not give any face. But at this time, the Japanese had just experienced a Xiaguan incident, and they were beaten by foreigners one by one. They were frightened. They really didn't dare to break through if the foreigners didn't give way.
There is a stalemate on the sea surface, and a small stalemate on land is also in progress.
Just as the explosion of fire soared into the sky, Yamamoto Kiyo excitedly howled to the sky, "Successfully... The ambush circle has been successful. All soldiers obeyed orders and killed Naba on the streets to quell the rebellion caused by the Qing people..."
Just after Yamamoto Kiyoshi took the soldiers out of the barracks, he met the old man from the Karayama family who was rushing to the sky.
"Yamamoto! Are you going to deal with the Qing people? Do you really think that you will win if you kill all the Qing people in this city? It's so stupid..." The old man from the Huashan family could guess his plan as soon as he saw the direction of Yamamoto's troops.
Yamamoto said excitedly, "My boss, my plan this time is perfect. The little ghost of the Mizuho has detonated the gunpowder pile on the dock. Xiao Letian must be dead now, and even his flag recognition has fallen. The Qing people have no leader, and they are now a group of sheep to be slaughtered..."
"Baga!" Huashan Rikin rushed up and fired his bow left and right, giving him two big mouths. "Our Shimazu family is not a murderer. Why do we kill all the Chinese in the city? Who will kill them to create wealth for us? Who will we find to collect taxes? You fanatical guy, are you going to kill Shimazu family?"
Yamamoto Kiyoshi couldn't understand why he had made such a great contribution, but he was scolded. The first update was that he was not as obedient as before. He even put his hand on the hilt of the knife.
"Old of Huashan Family, are you questioning the dignity of my warrior?" Leng Bingbing's tone was like a poisonous snake.
When Takenaka Inou saw that the atmosphere was too tense, he hurried to the center of the two people. "Yamamoto, are you going to rebel? Have you forgotten Lord Huashan's kindness to support you? Let me tell you the truth, all your plans are under the control of Lord..."
"My lord said that your previous plan was perfect, but there were problems with the goal in the later stage. Now our goal should be Shuri Castle, not the Chinese people all over the city. As long as we control King Shangtai, the Qing people will have a fate of failure no matter what..."
"Hahaha..." Yamamoto Kiyoshi suddenly burst into laughter. He pushed away Takenaka Inoue, "King of Shangtai? Shuri Castle? Do those scary guys still dare to rebel? As long as we kill all the Qing people in the city, these slaves will only kneel on the ground and lick our toes..."
Yamamoto waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him surrounded him with a spear, "Sir Huashan, I apologize to you, but today I must complete my original plan and say nothing will change..."
At this moment, a foot ran over briskly and knelt in front of Liyuan, Huashan. "Reporting to the master, our ship has started, they are rushing towards the dock, they are preparing to join the battle..."
"Nani! Yamamoto Kiyoshi, you dare to even transfer the navy privately? Are you still a samurai from the Shimazu family?"
"Of course I am, I will always be, and I know that the pursuit of samurai is only combat and victory. What I want is the blood of the enemy. Let your plan go and see the hell..." Yamamoto Kiyoshi said and walked over. The old man of the Karayama family dared not stop him at that moment.
In the end, Kurigen Kawayama did not stop Yamamoto Kiyoshi. He knew that there were too many violent generals like Yamamoto Kiyoshi in Japan. Although such people are very important to the superiors and inferiors on weekdays, it is precisely because they value superiors and inferiors too much that they have a sense of worship of the class that is almost religious.
In order to make their identities higher, these fanatical samurai even abandoned their lives. This may be the sadness shared by low-level figures in a class-consolidated society like Japan.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi left, taking away a thousand loyalists who were loyal to him, their goal was to burn Naha Port. And Kariyama Kurigen took two thousand loyal to him, and his goal was Shuri Castle.
"A warrior who is not political, what a terrible thing would it be if the fate of Japan ended up in your hands..." Takenaka Inoue looked at Yamamoto Kiyoshi's back who was leaving, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If Xiao Letian could hear the voice of Takenaka Inoue, he would definitely rush up and shake hands and shout for a confidant. Because the fate of Japan in his previous life was destroyed by the extremely crazy samurai. The so-called Japanese militarism is actually an evolution of the most fanatical Bushido.
