The southeastern province exported 12-pounder guns and 6-pounder guns to the Edo shogunate, and provided a large number of shells to the shogunate to slaughter their compatriots.

It was safe to export, because the southeastern province knew that the shogunate did not have this technical imitation, and there was no export of the sophisticated flintlock pistol, so as not to be copied by the Japanese people.

After attacking again, the coalition forces of the four feudatories had to retreat under heavy artillery fire.

For the Japanese army who lacked iron defense, the power of the shotgun was extremely great, the projectiles flew around, the body was pierced and broken, and the blood was splashed, especially after being blown up, most of them were injured, and slowly, and the rusty iron bullets were sandwiched with lead cores, which sounded terrifying: tetanus and blood poisoning, which could not be eliminated by medical means at that time, and the next was often a fever...... The screams of the wounded were ghostly and wolf-howling, causing the morale of the soldiers to plummet.

The choice in front of the coalition of the four feudatories was to continue the attack, but none of the feudatories wanted to face the artillery. Option 2 is...... I don't have a choice, didn't I say "Shangluo"? This "Luo" is Kyoto, where can you go around when you get to the ground?

So the scolding war began, and the alliance of the four feudatories selected some people with loud voices to insult the shogunate army to their heart's content!

Especially Tokugawa Iemitsu was scolded for being a bloody dog, and the woman in the general's family was YY, and I don't know how many military men I have a super friendship relationship with!

Tokugawa Iemitsu was actually the imperial driver, but not in Kyoto, but a large army was stationed ten miles away from Kyoto, and he had a military intelligence report every day, and when he heard that the other party scolded him like this, he was very angry and shouted: "Don't stop me, they insult my family, I swear to fight them to the death, and they will be broken into thousands of pieces!" ”

At that time, he was about to send a large army to fight against the alliance of the four feudatories, but the ministers could not persuade him.

Now the situation is favorable to the shogunate army, and the strength of the other side is consumed by using the fortified castle, but everyone believes that the other side still has the strength to fight, and should continue to implement the strategy of waiting for work.

But when he saw that the general was angry, he didn't dare to speak, and the only old man (minister's name) Aoyama Yukinari advised: "It's a good thing to be a turtle!" ”

Everyone listened to his lofty arguments, or fallacies, and Aoyama Yukinari said, "Turtles, Shinobu (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?) Mingguo called it a divine beast, the turtle has a long life, knows the situation, saves himself, waits for the opportunity, can endure and shrink, and can succeed! ”

Everyone agreed, so the Tokugawa family, who made a show for everyone, said smoothly: "My family's old man is reasonable, accept it!" ”

The shogunate army continued to defend, turning a deaf ear to the smug words of the coalition forces.

Aoyama Yukinari was born in 1586 A.D., the fourth son of the Tokugawa family retainer Aoyama Tadanari, and was a military commander and daimyo from the Azuchi-Momoyama period to the early Edo period in Japan.

In 1599, he became a member of Tokugawa Hidetada (Tokugawa Iemitsu's father, the second shogun), received 500 koku in Inahat-gun, the head of the country, participated in the Battle of Osaka (Battle of the Shogunate) in 1614, and served as the head of the academy in 1619. He received 10,000 koku in Hitachi, and later became the lord of the Kakegawa domain of Enoe Province and the first lord of the Amagasaki domain of Settsu Province.

With his qualifications, he speaks vigorously and can say things that others dare not say, in fact, what he wants to say is that your Tokugawa Iemitsu's grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu, is really a tortoise, Ieyasu's brother has been in his own territory for most of his life, and when the Japanese strongmen Oda and Toyotomi have hung up, this is to take the world, if the unification of the Wa country is a piece of cake, Oda is the person who grows wheat, Toyotomi is the person who makes a cake out of wheat, and the guy who eats that piece of cake is Ieyasu old tortoise.

The family blood has been passed down from generation to generation, and since Tokugawa Iemitsu is willing to be a turtle, his enemies are helpless.

The shogunate army shrank behind the cannon, and the other party bombarded it as soon as it came, even if the other party scolded so much, it was only inaudible, so that the four feudal coalition forces were three lights: people died, blood flowed, saliva spit out, compared to the disgraced comrade Iemitsu, it was even more complete.

When the two armies were at a standoff, bad news came, and Mori Hidemoto, the lord of the Choshu domain, glared at Mori Hideji, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "You said that Hagi Castle has been destroyed and the prefectures have been attacked?" ”

Mori Hideji kowtowed again and again: "Yes, the Akito set fire to Hagi Castle (in fact, it was his ninja who did it), we did our best, the strength of the Southeast Army is too strong, their warships are full of artillery, and there are guns and cannons in the field, we can't compare to them in anything!" ”

"Why don't you die!" Mori Hidemoto kicked him to the ground!

Maori Xiuyuan is distressed, thinking of the family's blue wisps and hard work to build a prosperous Hagi Castle, a small gold sentence and a copper coin are not easy to come by!

The Wa country is barren, the accumulation of wealth is quite difficult, speaking of which has to thank the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu, the sixth day before him the demon king Oda Nobunaga, it was the Wa State Warring States period, the daimyo fought vigorously, finally the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi rose, the Wa country saw the dawn of peace, the monkey himself died, wanted to capture Korea, was beaten by the Ming country, and the vitality of the Wa country was greatly damaged. It was only when it arrived at Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Japanese kingdom was unified and entered a period of peace for many years, that the Choshu domain amassed some wealth.

However, when he returned to the Warring States one night---- he became a pauper!

Mori Hidemoto was extremely angry, shouting for revenge, and wanted to immediately return to the army to find the southeast army to fight, but was dissuaded by Shimazu Tadatsune, the lord of the Satsuma domain: "It's useless for you to go back!" ”

"How?"

"Your belongings have been robbed by others, there is no need to go back, if you haven't been captured by the enemy, it is necessary to go back to defend it." Tadashi Shimazu said.

Mori Hidemoto regretted it, because Shimazu Tadashi had already warned everyone: "We go to Luo, the Ming people will come, the best way to deal with them is to abandon the seashore, ten miles away from the enemy, set up an ambush and sneak attack on them, don't fight hard, don't let the Ming people exert the power of their strong ships and cannons!" ”

This is the lesson of Shimazu Tadashi's previous blood, the strategy is against the head, and Yan Daishao of the Southeast Prefecture wisely avoided the Satsuma Domain.

The rest of the Hizen Domain's lord, Nabeshima Katsushige, and the Tosa Domain's lord, Nagamune Ishika, turned pale, and they didn't adopt the strategy of attacking the enemy as Shimazu Tadashi said, but they were afraid that the situation would be more auspicious!

Sure enough, the bad news came quickly, the Ming people plundered Hizen and Tosa, robbed the wealth and population, destroyed the place, and burned the towns and villages!

……

The upper echelons of the alliance knew the truth, and the lower echelons soon knew, because the shogunate army on the opposite side came with arrows and said, "The Ming invaded Choshu, Satsuma, Hizen, and Tosa, and your parents, wives and children are crying, and your homeland is gone!" ”

Hearing the news, the army's hearts were shaken, and they all wanted to return to the army, Shimazu Tadashi said: "Since there is nothing left, what is the need to go back?" If you go back, you will definitely be defeated, don't you hear that 'a thousand miles of collapse', and the shogunate army is coming, scattering the troops, how to deal with the enemy? Today's strategy, only forge ahead, there is a way to live! ”

It's a truth to think about, but it's not a taste in everyone's hearts, because the Ming people are wreaking havoc in their hometown, they don't go back to defend their hometown, and they scold the Tokugawa family for being turtles, and similarly, they are also turtles with shrunken heads!
