We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Chapter 658: Surrender? No surrender allowed!

Fukuoka Castle.

"Appetizer radish!"

Li Che squatted on the ground bored and threw a piece of radish in front of him.

An orange shadow flashed by.

Xiaosong caught it with his neck tilted back, ran to the side and chewed it happily with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

On the other side, the little bear was lying on the ground, turning into a bear carpet, with its tongue sticking out, looking like it had kidney deficiency.

It's not cool here, and it's too hard for the polar bear. Li Che tried to send it back many times, but Xiaotuan refused to leave.

"Bear with it a little longer, and have an ice cube." Li Che patted the bear's head and said soothingly, "It will be fine once we reach Hokkaido. It will be much cooler there."

In just half a month, the Fengtian army penetrated Kyushu Island and tore through Japan's defenses like a hot knife through butter.

First of all, the landing battle was extremely smooth.

The Japanese navy was almost completely wiped out, and the Fengtian Army was greeted by no warships, only small boats and sampans.

Although the clipper is not a large warship, it is not something these small broken ships can challenge, so they can just crush it.

But what daily life lacks the most is vicious schemes.

First a spark lit up, and then the entire sea surface was ablaze.

The sampans and small boats were filled with sulfur, firewood and other flammable materials, and they all caught fire all at once.

The flames that were generated one after another instantly gathered into a wall of fire, followed by strong winds and waves, swarming towards the Fengguo fleet.

During this time, heart-wrenching screams could be heard. It was obvious that there were Japanese devils driving these incendiary ships.

Regarding the opponent's fire attack, Li Che said he felt no pressure and was even a little disappointed.

That’s it?

Ever since the fire at Red Cliff, which Chinese person doesn’t know that they need to guard against fire attacks in naval battles?

Li Sheng immediately ordered the musketeers to assemble, replaced the cannons with buckshot, and then fired wave after wave of steel storms at the incendiary ship in front of them.

Bullets mixed with shotgun shells smashed down like a barrage, creating a soup of steel, iron, blood and flesh.

Most of the fire ships in front were destroyed in an instant before they could reach the Fengguo fleet.

Apart from becoming invisible, Li Che couldn't think of any way the opponent could dodge this wave.

However, there are still some fish that slipped through the net and rushed over, after all, the sea is so vast.

Maybe those who live in peacetime think that as long as a fireboat breaks through the fire network, it can pull a Fengguo warship into the water.

The Japanese, who were almost burned to charcoal, looked at the clippers that were getting closer and closer, with fanatical and excited expressions in their eyes.

Li Sheng’s response to this is simpler.

With the sails fully drawn, the clipper boats drifted away in an instant and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Do you think I have the same brain as your emperor, the son of inbreeding?

If you attack me with fire, won’t I run away?

The design concept of the clipper ship is to maximize maneuverability. No ship in the world can outrun it.

At this point, Japan's last wave of offensive failed.

The Fengtian Army landed on the island with great force and set foot on the Japanese mainland!

The army officers and soldiers had long been fed up with being overshadowed by the navy. The moment they stepped on land, regardless of whether they were seasick or not, they were all determined to kill the enemy and win merit.

Look at the soldiers guarding the dock. They are wearing armor made of bamboo and have an average height of about 1.5 meters. They look like a group of bean soldiers.

An ordinary soldier could wipe out a large number of people with just one strike of his sword, not to mention the advantages of muskets and grenades.

The Fengtian Army easily gained a foothold in Japan and launched multiple attacks on several coastal cities in the next few days.

Although the artillery has not been delivered yet, there are explosive packs.

The power of the explosive packs was more than enough to deal with the small Japanese city that looked like a land temple, and there was even a lot of overflow damage.

Soldiers often failed to control the amount of fire and tried to blow open the city gate, which ended up collapsing a section of the city wall.

After capturing seven or eight cities in a row, Li Che began to gather his troops, consolidate the occupied territory, and wait for the subsequent troops to arrive.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kaifu Munemasa should have already reacted, and the Japanese army will arrive within a few days.

Thinking of this, Li Che unconsciously increased the force of his hand stroking the bear, causing Xiaotuan to dodge.

Japan's resistance was expected, but Li Che also believed that it was impossible for all the people in this country to be in favor of war.

Kaifu Munemasa controlled the army, and these Japanese soldiers resisted strongly.

But there are always people who sing a different tune. Daqing still has a good reputation, and there must be factions within Japan that advocate surrender.

What Li Che has to do now is to get in touch with the faction that advocates surrender, and then... force them to become the pro-war faction!

Are you kidding me, surrender?!

They surrendered in 1945, and even though their waists were bent at right angles, it did not prevent them from continuing to pay homage to the Yasukuni Shrine.

Now that Li Che has a powerful army at his disposal, he can ravage Japan without any pressure. How could he give them another chance to surrender?

At this moment, Qiu Bai, who was waiting at the door, walked in.

I saw a tiger biting a carrot with an intoxicated look on its face, then looked at the bear lying in a puddle, and the Saker Falcon squatting on the beam in the distance and taking a nap.

Qiu Bai's mouth twitched, and then he said, "Your Highness, General Ma Zhong was patrolling outside the city just now and captured a group of Japanese."

"Oh?" Li Che looked up with interest, "Xiao Ma caught it, it should be a big fish."

Li Che completely let Ma Zhong go, never giving him any combat missions and letting him act on his own.

This guy is a deputy general and cannot be used according to common sense.

Qiu Bai smiled and nodded: "Your Highness is wise. The leader claims to be an imperial envoy and is here to see you on behalf of the Emperor of Japan."

Hearing this, Li Che's smile widened: "Finally here!"

Qiu Bai asked in confusion, "What's coming?"

"The Lord's men are coming!" Li Che said without further explanation, "Go and bring them here immediately. Don't leave any one behind."

"Here!"

Qiu Bai bowed and accepted the order, then turned and walked out.

In later times, Fukuoka Castle became the central city of the "Kitakyushu Fukuoka Metropolitan Area" outside of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, and is the sixth most populous city in Japan.

But now, it is just an unknown small town.

This place is full of mountains and hills, and its name means "a blessed land on the hills".

After Kaibu Munemasa usurped power, he gave the city to a loyal subordinate. However, before he could enjoy it for a few years, the Fengtian Army attacked and that man's head is now hanging on the city wall.

This place was not a good place, but relying on Fengguo's strong industrial and logistical capabilities, the soldiers built bridges and set up camps, and created an entire mountain stronghold on this hill.

The castle, which was originally built on the mountainside, has now become a large-scale camp.

At this moment, Empress Fujiwara, escorted by several ministers loyal to the imperial family, arrived at the outskirts of Fukuoka as a secret delegation.

Even though the Queen Mother was accustomed to the prosperity of Kyoto, she was still shocked by the scene before her and gasped.

On the rolling hills, countless sturdy wooden and stone camps stood according to the mountain terrain.

The wall of the village is tall, with thick logs as the skeleton and rammed earth and gravel as the filling. Traces of poured cement can be seen in key parts, and it has a cold and hard grayish-white luster in the sun.

There are many watchtowers and arrow towers, and the defenses are strict.

The flags with the word "Feng" on them fluttered in the autumn wind like a prairie fire.

The roads between the camps were flat and wide, and the movement of carriages, horses, and supplies was orderly.

How does this look like a temporary military camp?

It is clearly a strong city rising from the ground!
