Western Sichuan port.

In the military camp on the shore.

Yamanaka Takuma sat in a chair holding his forehead. A moment ago, a soldier came to report that the fog on the sea was getting thinner and thinner, and it seemed that it would dissipate soon.

The sky also changed slightly, and the gloomy clouds began to move. Although it was already afternoon, there was still a thin sliver of sunlight gradually emerging from the clouds.

The weather has gotten better, and the mood of the soldiers seems to have changed accordingly. Now the generals are leading the soldiers in training.

As for Yamanaka Takuma, he was quietly meditating at this moment.

Previously, Emperor Akihito appointed Saigo Hayabusa to lead the navy into battle and ordered them to defeat the Yan Kingdom people on the sea.

Although everyone in the DPRK had full confidence in the naval battle that might happen next, he was really uneasy in his heart.

This unease comes from a warning.

A warning from Huang Tianwei.

In fact, before Huang Tianwei fled, he came to discuss with him once.

Huang Tianwei said in a casual tone that if the war in Yan State goes unfavorably, then one must be prepared for a counterattack by Yan State people.

The most unfavorable situation is when the Yan people land in Fusang.

If it really comes to this point, once the Yan people land, the consequences will be extremely serious.

That day, when Huang Tianwei said this, he was still a little dismissive, and even scolded him for it.

Afterwards, Huang Tianwei laughed and said that he always planned ahead and thought too much, and these words were just conjectures.

In this way, this conversation ends here.

But today, when I think of Huang Tianwei's words, Yamanaka Takuma actually feels that they make perfect sense.

For this reason, he asked Akihito for orders and rushed to the military camp near the western Sichuan port with a troop of soldiers and horses to make second-hand preparations to prevent the most unfavorable situation from happening.

Now that Saigo Hayabusa has been at sea for some time, and may have been fighting against the Yan people, Yamanaka Takuma can only hope that this navy can win.

After all, if the naval battle fails...

With his thoughts at this point, Yamanaka Takuma stood up from his chair and walked out.

After walking out of the camp, a series of loud shouts came from the training ground. They were soldiers who were training one after another.

Although there are already matchlock guns in the country, the army under Yamanaka Takuma still uses traditional soldiers and horses. This is not because he is stubborn and unwilling to replace the soldiers with new weapons.

It's because the matchlock gun is expensive. Although a lot of military expenditures have been spent, it is still difficult to popularize it.

The second reason is that after the arrival of the matchlock gun, too many young soldiers neglected to practice martial arts. They focused all their methods of killing enemies on the matchlock gun. Once the enemy came close, they were almost completely powerless to parry.

The people who came to Fuso to sell these weapons highly touted the magical effects of matchlock guns, as if they could make Fuso a powerful country.

In terms of results, in more than two years, Fuso has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, and its military strength has become countless times stronger than before.

With a large number of people joining the army, the military strength has increased more than ten times in more than two years. Emperor Akihito is an ambitious man, and he feels that Fuso's prosperity has almost reached its peak.

With such a strong military force, it is natural that they should fulfill their long-cherished wish to capture Yan State.

A series of wars began, one after another.

News of victory kept coming, one victory after another, and with the victory came countless gold and silver treasures, and endless resources.

Nowadays, many people in the royal family have used the rare things taken from Yan Kingdom and Gaoli Kingdom.

The things gained from war really come faster and more than from any trade!

But after experiencing these several defeats in Yan State, Yamanaka Takuma began to think deeply.

“Everything gained from endless war is real prosperity or an illusory bubble.”

The number of dead began to increase. From the hundreds of casualties at the beginning, to today, more than 200,000 people have died.

Even if we can win the next naval battle, there will be casualties, but what happens after that? How should we capture Yan State next?

With the help of Huang Tianwei, they had successive victories after landing in the East China Sea, but now Qin Ze led the army, and the battle situation reversed. The East China Sea now seemed to be monolithic, making it difficult to attack again.

But now, a large number of civilians are joining the army in the mainland, and there are more and more people in the army. With such a complicated force, they cannot rely on war to obtain resources. There is no doubt that there will be a difficult situation next.

Yamanaka Takuma frowned more and more, looking at the excited-looking soldiers training not far away, he finally sighed.

They still can't imagine what will happen in the future. In fact, at this point, being unable to capture Yan State means that in a few months, the mainland will be in chaos.

call--

A weak wind blew, and a petal followed it, blowing past Takuma's door in the mountain.

Yamanaka Takuma knelt down and picked up the petals. As he stood up, he turned to look at the trees behind him.

The brown branches are slender and covered with clusters of cherry blossoms. At this time of year, the cherry blossoms are at their peak bloom. There are almost no buds visible on the trees, and they are all blooming flowers.

The cherry blossoms were blooming so densely, and their fragrance was as beautiful as clouds and clouds, but the branches were so overwhelmed that they even drooped down.

"It's so beautiful..."

Seeing the cherry blossoms, Yamanaka Takuma's suppressed emotions were relieved at this moment.

call--

The wind was blowing and seemed to be getting stronger.

Clusters of blooming cherry blossoms swayed slightly in the wind, just like clouds from the sky falling into the world.

Such a beautiful scene stunned Yamanaka Takuma, and he murmured in a low voice:

"Xiongzhi, during those days in Yan Country, you must have been missing the cherry blossoms in your hometown."

Previously, Huang Tianwei brought the news of Murata Yushi's death. Huang Tianwei said that Murata's last words were that he wanted to see cherry blossoms blooming in Yan Country.

At this moment, as this murmur fell, Yamanaka Takuma rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"But not anymore."

"Today we can no longer do it."

"Xixiang said that our attack on Yan State was a wrong decision. Your Majesty asked him to commit suicide by committing seppuku, but I think... he may not be wrong."

"If possible, a truce now is the best option. We and Yan State will be on equal footing with each other and will no longer be at war."

Yamanaka Takuma let go of his hand, and the previous petals fell, and he sighed heavily.

"Can be war."

"Come for what you need, never stop for what you want."

On the training ground, the cheers of the soldiers were still ringing out, and the atmosphere of enthusiasm filled the military camp. They were still full of excitement and were training in full swing.

Suddenly.

A strong wind blows!

Then, a large swath of cherry blossoms was swept up by the strong wind, and petals all over the sky rose and fell with the wind!

Floating in the air, countless petals circled and fell beside Takuma in the mountains.

"Woo!!!"

At this moment, a warning sound echoed through the sky suddenly!

It came so unexpectedly, completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Yamanaka Takuma's expression changed and he hurriedly ran towards the military camp.

At the same time, in the watchtower at the port, the sentry looked pale and was urgently spreading urgent military information!

In the sea in front of it, in the extremely thin fog, a black fleet is coming with strong wind and sails!

What the sentinel saw were ships that he had never seen before. There were countless ships, large and small. At a glance, there were hundreds of them!

The red flag is flying on every ship!

The word "焱" on it is extremely eye-catching. There is no doubt that this is a fleet from the Yan Kingdom! !

They have arrived offshore!

-

In front of the fleet, several Fuso warships were sailing rapidly. The people on board were all pale-faced and covered in sweat.

In one of the ships, Captain Kamiya Yuichi's teeth were trembling and his body was trembling.

'In that case, General Saigo...he just wanted to pull the ship over, which was a disaster for all of us! hateful! '

Kamiya cursed secretly in his mind, but then there was a panicked shout.

"Be careful! They're coming again!!!"

"Quick! Turn left! Avoid that thing!"

Kamiya trembled all over and quickly turned his head to look. The next moment, what appeared in his field of vision were several dragon heads shooting towards him. Behind the dragon heads, there were burning flames!

The moment he saw this thing, Kamiya Yuichi froze. The unforgettable horrific scene from the previous naval battle gradually overlapped with the flying fire dragon.

At that time, they also encountered this kind of weapon.

Time goes back a few hours ago...
