On April 21, 1633, Mori Hidemoto, the lord of the Choshu Domain, led an army to launch a suicide attack on the shogunate army, and the entire army was annihilated, and no one surrendered, and all of them were killed in battle. (Even if they were wounded, the shogunate army did not capture them, but sent them to death with swords, even if those who were wounded cried and regretted, they would achieve their good name)

In the battle, the shogunate army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the formation wavered in many places during the battle.

Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered Mori Hidemoto to be buried thickly, so Mori Hidemoto received a heroic honor, and Tokugawa Iemitsu received a generous reputation.

The custom of the Wa people is that they become gods after death, and the more glorious they are, the better, and they are as short and brilliant as the cherry blossoms, and they are famous for all generations, and even their enemies can be benefited.

However, the living are not so comfortable, and unless the shogunate army Suo Choshu Domain surrenders automatically, the rebels who are caught, along with the direct and collateral relatives of the Mori clan, will all be handed over to the southeastern province as slaves, and the power of the Mori clan will be uprooted!

At this point, the Choshu Domain was abolished, and it was temporarily divided into the Zhou Defense Province and the Nagato Kingdom, which were under the control of the relatives of the Shogunate family.

There is the bravery of Mori Hidemoto, and the shamelessness of Nabeshima Katsushige, the lord of the Hizen Domain!

In the big tent, Yan Changwu and Tokugawa Iemitsu sat side by side, looking at the fat guy in the tent.

Tokugawa Iemitsu reprimanded: "Shame! Either don't rebel, or die honorably and surrender! ”

What else can Nabeshima Katsushige say, he can only kowtow heavily and ask the general for forgiveness!

Shamelessness still works, Tokugawa Iemitsu has face, gives Nabeshima Katsushige the treatment of death------ gives him suicide!

And his family was secured, and the seal was reduced by half, and his son was made the lord of the domain

Yan Changwu did not interfere with the disposal of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he couldn't understand why he killed Nabeshima Katsushige but still made his son the lord of the domain, isn't this a problem for raising tigers?

In other words, in China, it is cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

But it is the characteristic of the Wa Kingdom! The Wakoku country values inheritance rather than bloodline, and the adopted son who is not a descendant also has the opportunity to inherit the throne as long as he bears the name of the family, so the son of Nabeshima Katsushige is the lord of the domain, not only does not resent Tokugawa Iemitsu, but also has to thank him for not letting the Nabeshima clan break off the inheritance.

Then the news came that Nagamune Ishika, who had rebelled against the Tosa Domain, died by self-immolation, and the remnants scattered, and the shogunate restored the Tosa Domain.

The situation was very good, and the only rebels left were the Satsuma Domain.

……

Tokugawa Iemitsu was so determined that all the upper echelons of the Satsuma Clan who rebelled would be executed, and those who surrendered would be exempted from death.

There is foreshadowing here, allowing him not to die, but to be captured by the Southeast Army and exiled overseas.

Tokugawa Iemitsu hated the Satsuma clan and decided to make an example of them and let them taste a terrible fate.

However, the Satsuma clan was not a fool, and its people were so strong that even if they knew the shogunate's decision, they were determined to resist to the end, and few surrendered.

"Good!" Since the other party doesn't know each other, then send them to the west!

The Shogunate Army and the Southeastern Army marched towards the Satsuma Domain, which adopted tactics of destroying roads and fortified walls, as well as raiding battles, but with little success.

It's not that all tactics are easy to use, the main thing is that the coalition forces are numerous, and the strategic depth of the Satsuma Domain is too shallow, and the coalition forces drive straight in!

Knowing that the last moment had come, the Satsuma clan made a final mobilization and dispatched 50,000 troops!

In addition to the young and strong, from the gray-haired old man to the teenage boys, they all picked up all kinds of weapons, and since they want to exile us, then we will simply fight with them!

Weapons were scarce, and some people were armed with wooden sticks, others picked up nail rakes (for raking grass), and the lord of the domain, Shimazu Tadashi, lined up on the seashore with the sacred mountain of the Satsuma Domain----- Sakurajima Volcano in the background.

Sakurajima Volcano is located in the middle of the sea in Kagoshima Bay, very close to the shore, and it has small eruptions from time to time, filling the air with smoke, adding a solemn atmosphere to the heavens and the earth.

There are countless heads in the big array, densely packed, ten miles long, and five miles deep!

The formation was considerable, and Shimazu Tadashi was full of ambition, and ordered: "Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable!" ”

"Even if we die, we will let the world know the bravery of our Satsuma Domain!"

Waiting for the battle, in the distance in the sky, the Shogunate Army appeared, followed by the Southeast Army.

Before he arrived, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was looking through a telescope on the high ground, looked at the opponent's stubborn posture to the end, and was very angry in his heart!

He preached to the army: "Today is the last battle, and there is no advance or retreat!" ”

And Yan Changwu and Gan Hui also saw the actions of the Satsuma clan army together, Gan Hui is a very competent chief of staff, thoughtful, he said to Yan Changwu in private: "The biggest variable in this battle is Sakurajima Volcano!" ”

"Are you worried that it will suddenly erupt and bury us?" Yan Changwu asked.

"Exactly!" Gan Hui nodded.

His words aroused the alarm of Yan Dashao, who was afraid of death, and after thinking about it, he immediately went to Tokugawa Iemitsu, and at the same time ordered the fleet not to sail into Kagoshima Bay.

There is no definite number of eruptions, and they may or may not erupt, and they may or may not erupt, and they may or may not erupt, just in case.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was equally worried, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The other party is clearly fighting with chariots and horses, how can you, a shogun, avoid fighting without fighting?

Therefore, not only did he have to fight, but he couldn't attack the empty Kagoshima City on one side, and he was embarrassed to drag his brother to fight, so he said to Yan Changwu: "I'll go first, you act as our reserve!" ”

Just in line with Yan Changwu's arms, his main force was behind, and he handed over his artillery to Tokugawa Iemitsu for use.

……

The scene of the battle was unprecedented, with 40,000 soldiers and horses of the shogunate army arrayed, with an artillery unit of 56 guns of the Southeast Army sandwiched in the middle, and the Southeast Army army in the back.

He was not worried about chaos, Yan Changwu stayed in the Japanese army and was with Tokugawa Iemitsu.

There are so many people in such a big scene, the drums and trumpets on both wings can't hear each other, and you can't see the situation in the distance, so you can only manage it in a decentralized manner, and each department can do its own thing according to the situation.

Tokugawa Iemitsu wore dazzling armor, rode a white horse, and led a group of elites to gallop back and forth in front of the army to boost morale.

The soldiers of the shogunate army saw him shouting loudly, and the sound was overshadowed for a while.

At this time, there was also a shout on the other side, and the main general of the other party came out, it was Shimazu Tadashi.

The leaders on both sides approached, and gradually they faced each other, as if they were about to speak.

Yan Changwu didn't step forward, there were already army wings on the left and right, not afraid of others eavesdropping, watching the heads on both sides come forward, he whispered to Gan Hui: "How about you say we use the Truth Type 2?" ”

Few people know that the Truth 2 is a sniper rifle that represents the highest technology at the time, and it was used to snipe the great chief of the Northern Captives from afar. ”

The two laughed like-mindedly, and let the two widows have a good fight, and the more widows die, the better!
