Originally, this unsuccessful meeting with Emperor Jiaqing caused Shi Xiong to hold an evil fire in his heart and there was nowhere to vent it. Now the little devil’s boat appeared in front of Shi Xiong. This unspeakable evil fire is finally Found a place to vent.
The current little devil is not the Japan that will be a hundred years from now. The Meiji Restoration is still half a century away, so the current Japan is far from reaching the top strength in Asia a century later.
Today Japan is a small country that relies on pirates to looting everywhere.
Being weak means being bullied!
Isn’t this kind of Japan the best target for Shi Xiong to vent his anger?
Now the empire firmly controls the Straits of Malacca and Sunda Strait, and has also established several fortified cities in the western and northwestern parts of Australia. It can be said that the entire western Pacific is impenetrable. It is now very difficult for European powers to break into the Pacific.
Moreover, the empire has reached out to the Indian Ocean, which makes the increasingly powerful Britain dare not enter the Pacific Ocean.
Although the United Kingdom won the Battle of Trafalgar three years ago and successfully became the anchor of the Atlantic, the short giant in France will undoubtedly worry the United Kingdom more, so now the United Kingdom is busy opposing Napoleon. , Their forces are mostly concentrated in Europe.
The most important thing is that even if Britain vacates its hands, the empire is now fearless.
Therefore, the hapless little devil became a poor victim.
Although the meeting with Emperor Jiaqing was unsuccessful, the imperial fleet received good supplies before leaving Tianjin Wei. Well, of course it refers to the supply of food, fresh water, and ammunition. There is no shortage of the fleet.
And when visiting the Qing Empire this time, in order to show the power of the empire, Shi Xiong used two Shangjing-class and twelve third-class sailing battleships and more than ten transport ships. The transport ships carried five regiments totaling six thousand. The Grim Bear fighters-fighters of the Imperial Marines.
Now these displays were all in vain, and Shi Xiong took these troops straight to Japan in a rage.
After exiting the Bohai Strait, the fleet headed to the southeast, crossed Jeju Island and then bypassed Kyushu Island, then headed north along Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, and finally entered Osaka Bay.
In fact, long after the fleet crossed Jeju Island, Japanese pirate ships and some fishing boats discovered this huge fleet. These ships are very curious about why this powerful fleet is coming here, so they have moved closer to find out what the fleet is coming from.
As a result, these ships became the best training target ships for the Shangjing and Denver. Originally, the two most powerful battleships in the empire were worried that they could not be trained in actual combat. These small windsurfing boards that kept coming in became the victims of the 76mm secondary guns on the Shangjing and Denver.
what? You said to use the main gun to do it!
Are you kidding me? Just the broken ships of the little devil, a ship is not as valuable as a shell of a 152mm main gun! It would be a waste to use a 152mm gun to hit such a rotten ship.
After walking all the way, the fleet broke into Osaka Bay just like that.
At this time, the capital of Japan is not in the later Tokyo, but in Kyoto. The name is Heiankyo, and it is not facing the sea. It is located in the Kyoto Basin in the central and western part of Honshu Island, very close to Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan.
At this time, Tokyo was not called Tokyo, but Edo. It was not until the Meiji Restoration in 1869 that the little devil moved the capital to Edo and renamed it Tokyo.
Although the 152mm guns of the Kamkyo and Denver can hit more than 18 kilometers and the effective range is more than 15 kilometers, this range cannot be shot from Osaka Bay to Kyoto. At this time Heiankyo was more than 50 kilometers away from the coastline of Osaka Bay, and even the Shangkyo-class warships could not directly bombard Kyoto.
But it doesn’t matter, can’t you reach Osaka and Kobe if you can’t reach Kyoto? Both of these cities are located on the seaside of Osaka Bay.
So after the fleet entered Osaka Bay, it started shelling when it was more than ten kilometers away from Osaka.
At this distance, Shangjing and Denver used 152mm main guns, while the other twelve Tier 3 battleships used 122mm guns.
After the 152mm artillery became the main gun of the Shangjing class, the newly built three-tier sail battleship began to carry 122mm artillery.
The Tier 3 sailing battleship currently built by the empire will not be equipped with dozens of old artillery, but after strengthening the keel and upper deck, it is equipped with six 122 mm artillery, six 105 mm artillery and eight 76 mm artillery. There were only twenty artillery pieces on the ship, all of which were installed on the upper deck. There are also 76 mortars in varying numbers.
The firepower of the Imperial sail battleships is now a little bit worse than that of the original Carlos-class battleships. It is undoubtedly the best to assist the Shangjing-class battleships.
When these artillery, which had a range of more than ten kilometers and fired powerful bombs, began to bombard Kobe and Osaka unscrupulously, the entire Osaka Bay was boiling.
At this time, the Japanese himself knew that a powerful enemy had come to the door…
In the face of huge cities, the Imperial Navy’s fleet does not need precise aiming at all, it only needs to smash the cannonballs over it.
Of course, with the help of the gun sighting system, the 152mm main gun is mainly used to “call” the somewhat threatening shore defense guns.
A few hours later, apart from the battleships of the Imperial Fleet on the huge Osaka Bay, there was no longer a Japanese battleship that could float on the sea.
In fact, there are no warships in Japan in this era. Japan’s first sailing warship Shengheimaru was built in 1854. And this three-masted sail, with the help of the Dutch, was built entirely with Dutch drawings. It was only 31 meters long and 7.3 meters wide. It had a single deck with two decks on each side. Five artillery, a small boat with a displacement of 370 tons…
This kind of ship is at best a little bigger than the French inland armed transport ship captured by Stone Bear 40 years ago. Even at the beginning of the nineteenth century, this kind of ship is even the fifth class in the Imperial fleet. Ships are not even…
In fact, the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan was still very keen on shipbuilding and trade with the West in the early 17th century~www.mtlnovel.com~ but for some reason, Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. Began to close the country. Even in June 1635, the Tokugawa shogunate issued a law announcing the prohibition of the construction of large ocean-going ships. This made Japan’s ability to build a five-hundred-ton Spanish galleon quickly lost.
So at this time, Japan has no warships at all. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the largest ship used by Japan is still the kind of red seal ship that imitated the Daming Kingdom…
Osaka Bay was smashed, and Kobe and Osaka were equally raging.
The transport ship following the fleet soon put down two regiments of Marines in Osaka. These Marines will carry “original” grenades and 55 mortars and rifles to Kyoto, more than fifty kilometers away.
As for the fleet, it turned around and left Osaka Bay and continued northward. There is also Edo Bay (Tokyo Bay) in the north, where there is Edo, the largest city in Japan…
