I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The court and the people quickly reached an agreement, and Wu Changqing quickly approved the military's action plan.

In sending troops to Fusang this time, they need to achieve several goals.

The first is to require Fusang to open trade ports and allow free trade.

The second is to occupy Tanegashima, Osumi County, or Kagoshima, in short, to have a territory in Fusang to garrison troops.

3. Obtain the mining rights of gold and silver mines.

The silver mine in Shimane Prefecture is the largest in Japan and the largest in the world.

Before the gold and silver mines in the Americas were discovered and mined, the silver mines in Shimane County accounted for about one-third of the current global silver production.

And these silvers basically all flowed into Dahua.

Although the Tokugawa shogunate closed the country, there were still many samurai, ronin, merchants and common people who took risks to carry out various smuggling activities.

The speed of exchanging goods for Fusang's silver is too slow and too much loss.

After all, manufacturing goods also takes time, raw materials and the hard work of Dahua workers.

There are many commodities that the people of Dahua have not yet used. In order to earn money, he did not hesitate to transport it to Fusang to sell it.

By trade, it is far faster than by robbery.

Wouldn't it be better to grab the money directly and leave those goods to the people of Dahua to use?

With the goal set, the combined forces of the navy and army boarded in Nanking.

This time they used a total of about 200 ships, including 50 warships of various types, 100 other transport ships for transporting supplies and soldiers, and 50 other types of auxiliary ships.

To deal with Fusang's navy, fifty warships are too conservative, in fact, they don't need that many.

Because Fuso's navy is quite weak.

Under the closed-door policy, they are not keen on shipbuilding at all.

Not to mention the comparison with Western European countries, even compared with the previous Zheng Zhilong, that is also far worse.

Moreover, this refers to the naval power of Fusang in the whole country. If you talk about the navy of Satsuma Domain alone, I am afraid that even the Qing army cannot compare.

Therefore, in terms of the navy, Dahua can crush Fusang.

As for the army, Dahua dispatched a reinforcement division this time, with a total of 15,000 people.

Relative to the advantages of the navy, they are much worse.

Although Fusang is small, the population is still quite large.

At present, in addition to Nanjing and Songjiang, the most populous city in the world is Edo (Tokyo) in Fuso. This city alone has almost one million people.

More than those places in London and Paris.

The entire Fusang has a population of nearly 25 million. Almost as many as the three countries of England, Spain and Portugal combined.

The larger the population, the larger the army.

In normal times, Fusang can maintain an army of 500,000 people. In case of wartime violent soldiers, it is not a problem to recruit 2.5 million.

Of course, as for combat power, naturally, there is no need to count on it.

In today's era, the battle can no longer be completely determined by the number of people, but also by the weapons.

In the past, cold weapons had to be slashed with one knife at a time, and I don't know how many knives it would take to hit a person.

And now, as long as the trigger is pulled gently, one will die on the opposite side, and when the cannon is fired, the opposite will die. In terms of killing efficiency, hot weapons have a leap over cold weapons.

But even so, in the face of such a huge army, Dahua's 15,000 people will definitely suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, there is no unity within Fusang now.

Dahua fights the Satsuma clan, and neither the other clans nor the shogunate will come to the rescue.

Therefore, with more than 10,000 people, it is basically enough to deal with only one Satsuma clan.

The army went out to sea, first reaching Tanegashima in the southeast of Kagoshima, and then attacking Tanegashima.

The port of Kagoshima is located in the interior of Kagoshima Bay. If the army enters rashly, it will be troublesome if an accident occurs.

Although this possibility is extremely remote, it is worth taking precautions.

Therefore, the Chinese army's plan is to capture Tanegashima first, and then the army will go to Tanegashima first and occupy it as a stronghold.

Then the navy will go to destroy the navy of the Satsuma domain and cut off the danger.

After complete safety, the navy and army together again attacked Kagoshima, carrying out a landing operation, forcing the people of Satsuma to submit.

At a small port in the southern part of Tanegashima, Dahua's warship forcibly entered.

Before Zidao's people could react at all, several ships in the port were bombarded to pieces.

After deterring the enemy, the Chinese army began to land.

However, to Wu Yi and Qian Sule's surprise, the Zidao clan's people were not intimidated, but instead took up arms and set up defenses at the port.

It seemed that they were planning to resist.

They also have some firearms in their hands, the models are in a mess, and they have everything.

There are flintlock guns, which are quite advanced, as well as arquebuses, bird guns, and some bows and arrows.

All of these were obtained when they traded with Western merchants. Compared with the interior of Fusang Island, their Tanegashima had more frequent trade with the outside world due to its geographical location.

This also makes their weapons and equipment more superior.

Of course, this is compared with their Fuso people themselves.

Compared with Dahua's standard weapons, their weapons are shabby and outrageous, similar to beggars.

Seeing those barbarians shooting themselves, Hua

The army was immediately angry, and he didn't know what to do.

As a result, they suspended the landing, and the cannons were aimed at the armed Fuso people on the island.

The cannonball fell among the Fuso people, and immediately blew the other party beyond recognition.

The Fusang people, who had never been hit by such a violent shelling, could not bear it and retreated one after another.

However, they did not retreat too far, but stayed at a distance and waited for an opportunity, wanting to wait for the Chinese army to go ashore and escape the naval artillery protection before launching an attack.

After the Chinese army shelled for a while, they landed again.

This time, there was no obstruction. Dahua's army went ashore smoothly, and then the forward troops advanced towards the island and went deeper.

Not long after they left, they were attacked by the Zidao clan again.

Then, the people of the Zidao clan discovered that the weapon they relied on so much was not easy to use.

The two sides shot at each other, and the Fuso people kept falling.

They were completely exposed to the muzzle of the Chinese army, and no one knew how to hide.

On Dahua's side, the soldiers were all lying on the ground, or hiding behind obstacles, and from time to time they stretched out their guns to aim and then buckled.

Fusang people have never seen this kind of play, they are simply rascals.

Hiding like this, how did you shoot yourself? In a war, shouldn't the two sides stand together and kill them fairly?

Fusang people can't figure it out, they just feel very irritable and aggrieved.

Their guns could not hit the enemy, but the people on their side kept falling.

Under this situation, their side has become more and more unsustainable.
