Chapter 540: The Second Letter
Asano Kiyomasa's heart moved slightly, with Satsuma as a base, it will develop and grow, and it is very likely to unify the island country.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wang Shouren continued: "I have led the troops under him, and I have not yet been defeated. ”
"You are acting for the Northern Expedition of the Ryukyus, how can General Ben believe you?"
"The Ryukyus are gone, and the general can slaughter them all now.
However, the officer thinks that it is better to let them besiege the cannon fodder to reduce the general's losses.
When they are all dead, who else will rob the royal city with the general? ”
Wang Shouren's face was serious and his attitude was extremely sincere.
His face was always as calm as water, and he observed that when the old brother gave advice to His Majesty, he was also so calm.
Asano's eyes flashed with excitement.
As for Wang Shouren's talent, he heard of it when he pacified the Li Rebellion.
The Ryukyus army was gone, and it was impossible to lead it north.
If the royal city is captured, it will be his!
"When do you want to attack the city?"
"The sooner the better, don't hide it, the court limited the official to capture the royal city in ten days, and returned to Beijing to pay the decree.
Now, three days have passed, and the pressure on this official is very great. ”
At this time, outside the camp tent, Dong Wen and Gao Feng were nervous, looking at the camp tent opposite.
Wang Shouren is good at debating.
But Asano Kiyomasa may not be reasonable, and Xiucai meets a soldier, and he can't explain it reasonably.
"Lord Wang is back!"
Looking around, I saw Wang Shouren walking out of the army, with two island soldiers behind him, driving a chariot.
Soon, it came to the eyes of the two.
Wang Shouren said: "This is the medicine that Asano gave to the soldiers to heal their wounds, and two days later, they will go north and attack the royal city!" ”
Coco Dong was dumbfounded.
Gao Feng also opened his mouth, shocked beyond measure.
The Japanese people have traveled thousands of miles south to send us military doctors?
Wang Shouren felt that Asano Kiyomasa was not stupid, on the contrary, far-sighted.
As long as you conquer Satsuma Province, you will be able to recruit troops from Satsuma Province, and within five years, you will become the most powerful daimyo in the island country.
When the royal castle is captured, the Ryukyu soldiers will be killed by Asano Kiyomasa.
But what Asano Kiyomasa didn't know was that he had already transferred the army of the Li people to the north.
Dong Wen dissuaded: "If we capture the royal city for him, Asano will definitely kill us all, and it is unknown whether Liu Jin can go north, Lord Wang's move...... Confused! ”
I want to lead my troops to be cannon fodder, and I am not happy in my heart.
Ryukyu lost the army, but made a wedding dress for Asano.
Wang Shouren shook his head: "Don't worry, Lord Dong." ”
"Can you guarantee that within seven days, Liu Jin can lead the army north?"
"I can't."
………
Two days have passed, and the troops are about to be dispatched.
Asano Kiyomasa looked at Wang Shouren: "How does Lord Wang want to fight?" ”
"Dare to ask if there are spies from Satsuma in the barracks?"
"I've killed them all."
When Asano Kiyomasa decided to conspire with Wang Shouren, he killed all the spies.
In this way, even if the conspiracy fails, it will not reach the ears of Shimazu Tadamasa.
It can also be combined in the future.
Wang Shouren said: "The inside should be combined with the outside, so that it is easiest to attack the city." ”
Asano Kiyomasa thought it was some kind of advanced strategy, and disdained: "Shimazu is careful not to allow my army to enter the royal city, otherwise, what do I want you to do?!" ”
"The official is saying that if we are escorted into the royal city, there are only more than 1,000 people, and Shimazu will not guard against it."
Asano Kiyomasa's eyes lit up, as long as he killed the defenders on the royal city, he could attack the city in one fell swoop.
The Ryukyus still have more than 1,000 troops, and it is not necessarily impossible to win.
Asano Masaaki made a quick decision and ordered someone to tie up Wang Shouren, Dong Coco and others.
Of course, it's not really tied, leaving a live buckle.
Wang Shouren, Dong Wen and others were imprisoned.
The spies sent news to Wang Cheng first: Wang Shouren and others were all captured.
Three days later, the army returned to the royal city, and the captives were taken to the city.
"This broken royal city is not as good as even a good town." Gao Feng complained.
The low-rise blue-tiled houses, the streets are bluestone-paved broken roads, inns and restaurants, lined up, scattered peddlers and pawns, making way out.
Coco Dong looked at Gao Feng worriedly: "Lord Wang said, when will the city be attacked?" ”
"If you enter the city, you will attack the city."
During the war, the royal city was heavily guarded, with the gates closed and artillery garrisoned.
The inner city needs to be inspected before entering the pass.
More than 2,000 men were marched into the city, and the gates were closed again.
At this time, the Ryukyu soldiers drew their swords and slashed at the Satsuma people, even the escorted Japanese people, and the Satsuma people were full of astonishment and panic.
Drums sounded, and the city was in turmoil.
In just a few moments, the gates were opened again.
Asano Kiyomasa was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to break through the royal castle, which was famous for its iron walls, so easily.
The Japanese army rushed into the royal city and fought one by one.
At this time, it doesn't matter if you lose 500 people or 1,000 people, and occupy the royal city, you won't lose money.
Wang Shouren raised his head slightly.
The soldiers of the Ryukyus were also in danger, and Asano would kill them all if the royal castle was captured.
Liu Jin still has more than ten days to reach Wangcheng.
Satsuma Palace.
The city gate was lost, and the guards quickly entered the palace to report: "Your Majesty, the city gate is lost, Asano Kiyomasa conspired with the Ryukyu soldiers, the captives are fake, and it is the real ...... to attack the royal castle."
Shimazu Tadamasa was cold, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his wine glass slammed to the ground with a bang.
The widows were not satisfied, and led the wolf into the house.
He staggered to the temple gate, only to see the maid and the internal official, fleeing with packages on their backs.
The internal official came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the palace who asks to see him, and he says that his name is Wang Shouren, and he can guard the city for the king." ”
Shimazu Tadamasa took a mouthful of old blood and almost spit it out.
This is the person...... This is the person who killed Okubo and led the Ryukyu soldiers to the north.
If it weren't for him, Satsuma would not have been where it is today.
And the face said, to defend the city for them?
"Kill him! Catch him in and kill him! Kill it now! ”
"Your Majesty can't be rash, Asano has 20,000 troops, and now the royal city has been broken, if there are no good generals, how can we defend the city?"
A group of ministers made a quick decision and knelt on the ground one after another, there is no eternal enemy, and it is important to resolve the current crisis.
Shimazu Tadamasa gradually calmed down, won the battle against Asano, and it was not too late to kill Wang Shouren again.
"Spread Wang Shouren to the palace!"
After a while, Wang Shouren came to the palace and bowed slightly: "This official, come to guard the city for the king." ”
How do you have the face to say it?!
Shimazu endured his anger: "Then there is Lord Lao." ”
In half a day, the Samo soldiers, who had been unable to form an army, suddenly became orderly and gradually reversed the decline.
Asano Kiyomasa heard that the Satsuma country keeper was Wang Shouren, and the whole person was petrified.
Gao Feng called the insider, and this grandfather called him well.
The two armies were fighting, and they were getting more and more anxious, and whenever Asano wanted to withdraw his troops, the Satsuma country showed its decline.
The whole Satsuma King Castle is like hell on earth.
Coco Dong didn't expect that it would develop into such a situation.
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.
With the loss of more and more troops, it is impossible for Asano to withdraw his troops.
If you retreat like this, you will inevitably be swallowed up by other daimyos, and you must capture the royal city in order to stop the loss.
Ten days later, dozens of large ships came at a rapid speed in the southern port of Satsuma Province.
The military situation was critical, and Liu Jin did not dare to delay for a moment.
To his surprise, there were no soldiers stationed at the port, and only Coco Dong stood at the shore mouth and waited.
"Lord Dong, this is?"
"Lord Wang ordered me to wait for you here and lead the army north."
When the Lebanese army arrived in Wangcheng, the tide of battle changed dramatically.
?? Asano never expected that Wang Shouren still had such a huge army hidden, and if he continued to fight, all of them would be lost here, so he decided to withdraw his army.
Shimazu Tadamasa thought that victory was in sight, and when he heard that Dong Wen led 50,000 troops into the royal city, the whole person was paralyzed on the throne.
The soldiers were exhausted, and when they heard that Dong Wen was leading a large army, they had no intention of fighting.
On the same day, Coco Dong took over Wangcheng and was overjoyed.
"Don't forget, Lord Dong, Ryukyu promised the imperial court."
"The order of the Ming Dynasty, King Shangzhen does not dare to disobey."
Walking to a place where no one was, Wang Shouren opened Yan Chengjin's second letter, only to see that the letter read:
Return to the capital as soon as possible
………
In the capital, the capital inspection courtyard is on duty.
Yan Chengjin drank tea leisurely, and the establishment of the four divisions was indeed good governance, and the workload was much less.
"My lord, the newly pre-selected imperial history has come to be assessed."
Yan Chengjin was surprised: "When was this official chosen?" ”
"It was chosen by His Majesty himself, and I want you to go and see it."
