The entire port of Hyogo was reduced to ruins by the continuous sound of artillery bombardment, and the heavy troops placed here by the shogunate suffered heavy losses.

Even the guardian Uehara Motohide died under the shelling, and the dragons were leaderless, and the remaining samurai, ashigaru, and so on were like headless flies.

While looking at the Ming army that was landing close to the port, he was hesitant to muster up the courage to fight with the Ming army, or to flee with his life.

The Ming army encountered only a symbolic resistance at the landing dock, and some of the short-sighted attempts to prevent the landing of the army were easily carried away by the new muskets.

The pier was captured, the harbor was bombarded, and the army landed quickly, and then groups of Ming troops began to clean up in an orderly manner throughout Hyogo-no-Tsu.

"Sand give~"

A group of Japanese samurai with more than a hundred ashigaru guarded an intersection, and when they saw the Ming army of the brigade coming, these Japanese samurai drew their katana swords and rushed up.

"First Team ~Aim, Fire~"

Seeing someone rushing up, the Ming army lined up in three trapezoidal formations in an orderly manner, and as the captain's voice fell, a dense gunfire rang out in an instant, a burst of white smoke rose, and the samurai and ashigaru who rushed to the front fell instantly.

"Second team, aim, fire~"

Without any emotion, the second group of musketeers opened fire quickly, like waves of wheat blown by the wind, and the Japanese warriors and soldiers fell in the wind, with small holes in their bodies and blood flowing.

In just two waves of musket attacks, the more than 100 samurai and ashigaru all fell in a pool of blood, and some of the undead were wailing in pain, but soon there were ordinary Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding profits, ending their suffering.

"Take a break~Stand upright, start and go~"

As for the students of the Ming Royal Military Academy, who had just eliminated more than 100 widows, they gathered their ranks again and marched towards the next place in a neat procession, with a feeling that they had gone away and hidden their merits and fame.

In an alley, the swordsmanship of several Japanese warriors was extremely terrifying, and with only four people, more than 20 Ming soldiers had fallen under them.

The katana in the hands of the four people seemed to be the soul hook pen of the hell judge, and the cold light flickered, and there must be a Ming army falling.

Because the swordsmanship of the four of them was so powerful that the Ming troops here at the entrance of the alley didn't dare to rush forward for a while.

"The third class of the first phase of the Daming Royal Military Academy requests instructions~"

Soon, a group of musketeers armed with muskets arrived.

"These four would-be pirates killed more than twenty of our brothers and killed them with muskets."

Seeing the arrival of the people from the Daming Royal Military Academy, the hundred households in charge of this place breathed a heavy sigh of relief, he had seen the horror of muskets.

"Yes~"

The squad leader of the third class immediately saluted.

"All listen to the order, prepare for the three-stage shooting~"

"First Team, Aim, Fire~"

Without the slightest drag of mud and water, the people of the third class aimed their muskets at the four Japanese warriors in the alley, and then a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

"Bang~Bang~"

Aiming at the muskets, the four instinctively felt fear, but they were surrounded by this small alley, and they could not escape.

Before they could react, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and after a puff of smoke, the four of them quickly collapsed in a pool of blood.

No matter how good the swordsmanship is, after all, it is a mortal body, they are masters in cold weapons, and they are the top masters, and they can kill more than 20 Ming soldiers, which shows that their swordsmanship has reached an extremely terrifying level.

But in the face of this kind of hot fire, the katana in his hand is no match for the attack of the musket after all.

"Smack~"

Seeing the four of them lying in a pool of blood, the musketeers of the third squad collected their troops together, and their neat and unified voices were like one person, which made the other Ming soldiers on the side couldn't help but look at them differently.

"Report, complete the task, please instruct~"

The leader of the third class saluted to the hundred households.

Hundreds of eyes have earned a lot, although they have long known the power of these musketeers, but now that they see it with their own eyes, it is also an eye-opener.

There was no way for a hundred households to take the four samurai, but these musketeers in front of him were killed in just one round of shooting.

"Thank you~"

Baihu looked at the other party's neat team, resolute eyes, coupled with the uniform handsome clothes, and this strange military salute, he didn't know what to say for a while, he could only say thank you and express his gratitude.

"Salute~"

The leader of the third squad gave an order, and immediately the entire third squad saluted the other Ming soldiers present.

"Let's go together~"

Then, without waiting for everyone to say anything, he continued to rush to other places with his class.

Scenes like this took place throughout the port of Hyogo, and some of the remnants of the Japanese were unwilling to be defeated and rose up to resist, but they were all like mantis arms used as chariots, killing themselves.

The samurai of the Wa Kingdom were superb in swordsmanship, but in the face of the Ming army that was dispatched in groups and teams, and in the face of the Ming army armed to the teeth, all resistance was also eliminated in a very short time.

The five thousand heavy soldiers stationed here by the shogunate did not hold out for even a day, and went straight to an avalanche.

More than 1,000 people died under intensive artillery fire, then more than 1,000 were killed by the Ming army, and the remaining nearly 2,000 chose to surrender.

The huge gap in numbers, coupled with the huge gap in equipment, doomed from the beginning that this would be a one-sided massacre, without any suspense.

Liu Jin accompanied Zhang Mao to walk in Hyogo-no-tsu, constantly inspecting every place here, this time attacking Hyogo -no-tsu, the Ming army suffered casualties, but fortunately, there were not many, the number of dead and wounded was less than a hundred, most of them could be treated.

The armor produced by Miyun Iron Factory is of quite good quality and very light, but the defensive effect is excellent, as long as it is not a fatal injury, it will basically not die, and it can be rescued and treated in time.

"These Japanese warriors are a good sword, maybe in the future, when we conquer other parts of the world, we can appropriately recruit some Japanese warriors to act as the vanguard."

Liu Jin listened carefully to the report, and the casualties this time were mainly samurai from the Wa Kingdom.

These Japanese warriors are very brave, and their swordsmanship is very powerful, and many times once these Japanese warriors are close, they will cause huge casualties in an instant.

Liu Jin wondered if it was possible to recruit some Japanese warriors to fight in the Quartet, for example, some Japanese warriors could be recruited to conquer the Nanyang region and deal with the natives of the Nanyang region.

In the era of the Great Voyage Colonization in history, whether it was Britain, France, or even Russia, there were a large number of people who recruited colonies to help them conquer more colonies.

For example, when the British ruled India, they recruited a large number of Ah San from the Indian side to act as thugs, and the name of Indian Ah San came out from Shanghai at the beginning, because there were a large number of Indians in the British army at that time.

Not to mention France, until the 21st century before Liu Jin crossed, there were still foreign legions in France, and in the Age of Discovery, it was often used to conquer other colonies with colonial soldiers, anyway, it was not them who died, just give some food and food, and someone will work for them, simple and easy.

There are also on the Russian side, and the famous Cossack cavalry in history belongs to this category, and a large number of cavalry has been specially recruited to help them attack a wider land.

These Japanese are definitely a very good source of soldiers.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew that the Japanese people had a samurai spirit, a very strong will to fight, a very good organization, a strong ability to learn critically, and an extremely good at war.

That's a lot better than those African black uncles, Indian third brothers, and so on.

In this era, whether it is a Japanese warrior or a common people, basically life is very poor, as long as there is money and food, coupled with the identity of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not difficult to recruit a group of Japanese warriors to act as thugs.

Liu Jin estimated that as long as the Japanese were subdued this time, the Japanese side would definitely be very obedient, and in the future, they could recruit Japanese warriors from the Japanese side one after another to serve as the vanguard of the colonial world.

Anyway, the new type of hot weapon can't be mastered by them, and the old cold weapon will be eliminated sooner or later, so that you can also ensure that you can control this side of the knife at any time.

Finally, brainwash them well, what Ming has always been very good to the Japanese people, the two countries have been friendly for generations, and more importantly, they are in the same vein, with a common culture, this Ming Son of Heaven is the object of allegiance to all the Japanese people.

I believe that in the end, these Japanese warriors will definitely become a sharp blade in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is a good idea, any dirty work, tiring work, and black pot can be done by them, we are Ming, image is still very important."

When Zhang Mao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he nodded after thinking about it and said.

"Rely on~ Zhang Mao's goods are insidious enough, I just want them to act as colonial pioneers, but Zhang Mao wants them to carry the black pot, it's old yin~"

When Liu Jin heard this, his heart once again refreshed his understanding of Zhang Mao.

However, in his heart, Liu Jin deeply agreed, there must be a lot of unsavory things to do in the colonial world, and some people who are inconvenient for their Ming army can let these Japanese people take action.

"It's not just the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, I think we can also recruit some Korean samurai from the Korean side in the future, and after conquering the northern grasslands, we can also recruit some grassland cavalry, anyway, as long as we are obedient, properly control the scale and quantity, and then transfer to other places for use, there is no big problem."

Liu Jin thought about it and said with a smile, his mind had already begun to think about how to go to the North Koreans and the steppe people in the north, and when he looked at the captured Japanese people, his eyes lit up slightly.
