That day

Fires surged into the sky in Nagasaki Bay, the main ironclad ship "Fusang" sank, and the Hiei was severely injured. The King Kong surrendered helplessly and raised a shameful white flag under the attention of the crowd.

Nagasaki residents saw this scene, many people sat on the ground crying, and many people were pale and could not say a word. They were shocked by the powerful force of Queensland, surrounded by deep fear, and could not have the intention of resisting.

All eight torpedo boats that charge against Jade Broken Charge were sunk. The thugs attacking the coal transport ship of the Postman hit the heads and bloodied in front of the defensive position composed of machine guns, leaving corpses all over the ground retreating in a panic, and the entire Nagasaki was shrouded in a tragic wind and rain of failure.

This was a disastrous defeat, witnessed by more than 60,000 Nagasaki residents, and brought great spiritual trauma and chaos to the public. Dozens of desperate wandering samurai committed suicide in the street, and some thugs took the opportunity to smash and loot shops along the street, raped and abducted. The market was in chaos and mourning.

In addition to consolidating its own defense, the coal ship "Postman" also sent small boats to participate in the rescue in the bay. Under the order of the fleet commander, several 120 armed soldiers were sent to take over the coastal forts No. 1 and No. 3, ordering curfews within Nagasaki to restore order, and enter the aftermath stage.

At dusk

There were continuous explosions from the coastal artillery No. 1 and 3. This was the Queensland armed sailors blew up the turrets and shore artillery, completely destroying the coastal defense system of Nagasaki Prefecture, and destroying it for years of hard work.

The fleet was very tight, and there was no extra person to station on the coastal turret, so they simply blew up all of them. Anyway, the Nagasaki Coast Fortress had some heavy shells reserved, which was very convenient to detonate.

The news of the defeat was immediately transmitted back to Tokyo, causing shock to the government and the public and public opinion to boil...

A famous military power group, Shan County Youpeng, said heartbrokenly about this;

"Our country has worked hard to accumulate more than ten years of naval achievements. Today, all efforts have been destroyed. The army has truly become a lame duck. The lame foot is undoubtedly a navy. It is really painful."

Not to mention the panic in Tokyo, everyone is ruling responsibility. The political struggle becomes fierce in an instant, and will turn back to Nagasaki Prefecture...

In the city

Queensland sailors took to the streets with guns and ammunition, took over the barracks and docks, entered Nagasaki Prefecture to supervise the implementation of a curfew, locked up important Japanese responsible persons, and enacted a large area in Hirado District under Nagasaki. They mainly centered on Tangren Town, and all the surrounding ten towns were included, including the total area of ​​nearby forests reaching more than 6,000 acres, and were prepared to be used as a concession.

Whether you agree or not, I will take over this piece of land first.

No one came forward to stop the war, and it became a certain fact so funny, only one convention was left to determine the name of the concession.

The captain of the Iron Craft "Kingang" ironclad ship, Shiren Ikeguchi, carried a huge shame and ordered the whole ship to surrender, retaining the last little precious bone and blood for the Fusang Navy.

Colonel Inuguchi returned to his own small courtyard after the war, dismissed his slaves, raised a knife to kill his wife and children, and finally committed suicide by cesarean section to thank the world.

Before his death, he left a foot of white silk and wrote to Matsuo Basho's "Haiku";

Next to the ancient pond, a frog jumped into the middle of the water, and a plop...

Later generations were puzzled. The "frog" in the blazing sentence definitely refers to the "Aolong heavy cruiser" raging in Nagasaki Bay. The water center should be "Nasaki Bay". The ancient pool of Xianji may refer to the Fuso Country since Edo. Although the country is still poor and poor after experiencing Tuxin, what is the "thump"?

People with a different mind, and people with a wise mind.

After entering the 20th century, the famous professor of the University of Tokyo, Omoto Yoshiki Animoto made an authoritative annotation on this;

Colonel Inuguchi, who endured humiliation and surrendered, cared for the blood and tears of the country, nation and army, and was determined to wash away the shame with death. At the last moment of his life, he foresaw that the Fuso Kingdom would have profound social changes due to the "bombardment of Nagasaki incident", and the country inevitably slipped into the semi-colonial and semi-feudal abyss...

There was a "thump" sound

The calm scenes are transformed from static to dynamic, vividly interpreting the earth-shaking changes brought to Fuso’s society by bombing the Nagasaki incident.

From this perspective, Fusang State also thanks the Queenslanders in Australia. Through this powerful medicine, the ruling class of Fusang State has awakened in a daze, and the Fusang farming society has begun to quickly enter a semi-industrial society...

Marked by the "blame of Nagasaki incident", the society of Fuso has completely turned into westernization. While falling into the abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, it has worked hard to learn advanced Western technology, promote social self-change, know shame and then be brave, and rise step by step into a powerful country in East Asia. This is a story later.

Four days after the bombardment of Nagasaki

The reinforcement fleet led by the heavy cruiser of the "Xuanwu" was personally led by the Navy Brigadier Geng Baogui, and successfully arrived at Nagasaki Port. The trip brought a large number of shells, coal and oil and other supplies, as well as 1,700 fully armed soldiers drawn from the Shangri-La Division. With the cooperation of the Huayong Camp of Weihaiwei, they took over Nagasaki Prefecture in full.

At this time, Nagasaki Prefecture was the hostage in Queensland. The three heavy cruisers "Qinglong", "White Dragon" and "Xuanwu" gathered here. For the Fusang Kingdom, which is now a sea-less and unpredictable mountain and ocean, it can achieve a strong deterrent effect.

Especially the heavy cruiser "Xuanwu" with an actual displacement of 9,960 tons is equipped with 6 305mm hydraulic reciprocating main naval guns. The huge muzzle is flashing with a cold luster, which is simply an invincible beast in the East Asian maritime battle.

Seriously

The fast light cruisers "Langsu" and "Takachisu" recently imported from the UK, equipped with two 260mm mm main guns produced by the German Krupp. The six 150mm secondary guns are still very powerful, but this main naval gun is still an old-fashioned retreat gun. It has a long shooting time and poor accuracy, which makes it a bit useless.

The British man had a lot of eggs, but he still had a hand on the advanced export warships.

This class of ships is more than 3,600 tons, designed by British designer Sir William White and built by Armstrong Shipyard in the UK.

The Langsu ship started construction on March 27, 1884 (Meiji 17), and was launched on March 18 of the following year. The sister ship of the same level, "Takachiho", started construction on April 10, 1884, and was launched on May 16, 1885, and was completed and returned to China at the end of the same year.

These two new warships have just been built and have not yet formed combat effectiveness after returning to China. They were attracted by the fleet commander He Fang at a glance and detained them to take them back as spoils to enrich the strength of the Borneo fleet.

The Queensland Coast Guard plan is in line with the 3,600-ton cruiser plan that officially started construction in 1887, which coincides with these two new warships and is very consistent with the naval development strategy. Moreover, the construction level of the British Armstrong Naval Shipyard is not covered, and the quality is indeed excellent.

As for the 260mm retracted main gun that the Borneo fleet looked down upon, it can be modified from the shipyard in Australia and replaced with the hydraulic redirection 280mm main gun produced by the Blue Weapons Company, dual hydraulic redirection 150mm secondary gun, and dual 95mm secondary gun, becoming a cruiser synchronized with the main equipment of the fleet.

According to the Navy Equipment Plan;

The new 3600-ton cruiser will be included in the construction plan in 1887 and will not be able to receive new ships in 1888. Now it can get warships two years ahead of schedule, why not?

As for the feelings of Fusang Kingdom, he turned a blind eye to it.

A country with a small number of people are afraid of power but not virtue.

This is the attribution of the Earl of Queensland Lee Fushou as the Fusang Kingdom. All Queensland policies revolve around the orders of the Earl.

After the war, international mediation restarted.

After a brief encounter, diplomatic ministers from various countries quickly formulated a new peace treaty plan, and made a slight change based on the "Nasaki Fourteen Articles". After adding some content, it became "Nasaki Seventeen Articles". The full text was delivered to the Japanese full-power negotiator Sato Yuiwei, who was transferred to the Tokyo cabinet, His Majesty the Emperor.

The new "Nasaki Seventeen Rules" adds the following content;

Item 1 adds responsibility for war, blames it on the Japanese side, and requires the Japanese government to assume full responsibility and be responsible for war compensation.

This clause removes the part of pursuing the Japanese government responsible persons, which seems meaningful, and this is specially proposed by the British representative.

The British are worthy of being Lao Yu's masters of international diplomacy. They know that a weak government is more conducive to safeguarding foreign interests. A Fuso government after the defeat is difficult to get support from the people, so they need more support from foreign forces, even if they give up some of the interests for this, they will do whatever they want.

Taking advantage of the situation, the British have always been above professional level.

The most obvious evidence is the second compensation part of the clause. The British diplomatic minister Sir Henry strongly demanded an increase in the amount of compensation. Based on the original 200,000 yen, the compensation for this war was listed separately, with a total amount of up to 4 million yen, and half of the United Kingdom and Queensland. Everyone happily shared the spoils.

A new clause was to establish the British Concession, where the UK sent the Weihaiwei Huayong Camp and Queensland soldiers to maintain public order and form the Concession Bureau to be managed. Japanese people are not allowed to enter without permission.

The British Concession was jointly established by the British and Queenslanders and was managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It represents the interests of Britain in the region and Queensland in the region.

The second newly added clause is that Queensland will rent Okinawa and its affiliated islands separately for use as a Far East Fleet garrison. The lease period is 99 years and can be renewed after the boundary is over. The Japanese side shall not refuse to renew the visa without a legitimate reason.

The British were not interested in the Okinawa area, so they did not get involved.

Queensland originally had no Far East Fleet organization. At the order from Red Fort, the fleet led by the heavy cruiser "White Tiger" was converted into the Far East Fleet on the spot. The home port was Okinawa, focusing on maintaining the security of the Queensland trade line and regional stability.

This clause requires the Japanese side to release the Ryukyu king and his family, restore the original appearance of Okinawa Island, and create a social environment for harmonious coexistence of multi-ethnic groups.

The third new clause is to require the Fuso government to recognize that the Earl of Queensland is "the identity of overseas Chinese protectors", and that there shall be no obstacles in the business, property purchase, trade and immigration of overseas Chinese, and that fair and just legal treatment shall be given, etc.

"Nasaki Seventeen Rules" continues its previous tough attitude. Fuso Country either accepts it completely or overturns it, and there is no third way to go.
