Chapter 499, fire the cannon and it's over

The Honshu island of Wakoku Iwami is said to be the capital of the country, but in fact, it is the same as the capital of the Otomo family, Higo Province, and it is a very small castle, with low walls, low houses, and the kind that is too small to ride around.

At this time, the 10,000-strong army of the Broken Waiting had already surrounded the entire small city, and the samurai of the Ouchi family in the city were trembling with fear when they looked at the huge army outside.

"You can take it down in half an hour~"

Yang Yun rode on his war horse, looked at the small city in front of him with a telescope, and said very confidently.

"Where it takes half an hour, please give the last general two thousand men, and I can open the city gate in a quarter of an hour to welcome the army into the city."

On Yang Yun's side, a thousand households took the initiative to ask for war, and the military power returned to the emperor's hands, and these generals and nobles could finally raise their heads, and they didn't have to look at the faces of those civil officials, so they became more belligerent one by one.

Especially the prisoner Hou Yang Yun beside him, who was originally just a big soldier, because he killed the little prince of the grassland, and now he has broken the prisoner Hou and led the tens of thousands of troops to conquer the Wa Kingdom.

This is definitely an encouragement for them, after all, role models are around, who doesn't want to be a marquis and a prime minister, who doesn't want to be a wife and a son, and who doesn't want to be in power.

"Don't worry, it's best to be able to surrender without a fight, find someone to call over, let them open the door by themselves, and if they are stubborn, let them taste our Miyun cannon."

Yang Yun thought about it and shook his head slightly, after becoming the Hou Ye, he has also been studying hard, especially this time to go to the Wa Kingdom, he is also very nervous, he has read a lot of military books, and he is also often by the side of Zhang Mao, Liu Jin, and Wang Shouren, and he knows some things.

"Yes~"

Qianhu next to him nodded hurriedly.

Soon, someone came to the city wall with a big iron horn and began to shout loudly, the content of the shouting is also very simple, nothing more than that your Wa country has offended the Ming Dynasty, the Great Inner family levied heavy taxes on the Ming merchants, and the sacked Ming merchant ships, which is a serious offense to the Ming Dynasty.

"It turned out to be the army of the Ming Dynasty?"

"How did you get to our Iwami country?"

On the top of the city, after Naito Hiroshi, the acting guardian of Iwami Province, heard the shouting, the whole person was also dumbfounded, and the army outside the city turned out to be an army from the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

Someone next to Hiroshi Naito said anxiously: "There are tens of thousands of them, and all of them are wearing armor and hundreds of artillery, once the city is attacked, we will not be able to defend it at all." ”

"I know~"

Hiroshi Naito nodded and said, at this moment, he didn't know what to do.

If he opens the door and surrenders, he will not be able to mix in the Ouchi family in the future, but if he does not open the door and surrender, as soon as the Ming army attacks the city, how can they reach the other party's tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that the other party is still armed to the teeth.

Time passed slowly in Naito's hesitation, and soon the time for a stick of incense passed.

"Open the gun~"

Seeing that the other party never opened the city gate, Yang Yun couldn't help but smile, and then ordered the cannon to be fired without the slightest hesitation.

"Knock~"

"Knock~"

Suddenly, more than a hundred Miyun cannons, which had already been aimed, began to wield, and with a deafening loud sound, one after another shells pierced the sky and continued to descend on this small city.

Waves of cannons continued to roar, and the shells relied on the huge inertia to produce terrible destructive power, and a large number of houses began to collapse in the city, and at the same time, billowing smoke began to rise everywhere.

On the city wall, this is the place where the focus is cared for, and the dense cannonballs are constantly falling here, as if they have eyes, and they are specially falling to crowded places.

On the city wall, blood was splattered, flesh and blood were flying, and the low city wall seemed to be unable to withstand this terrible bombardment.

"Surrender ~ We surrender unconditionally ~ "

Hiroshi Naito touched the blood on his face, and just now a cannonball fell to his side, directly smashing the flesh and blood of the two samurai into a blur, splashing him in the face.

"It's terrible~"

"Daming's artillery is really terrible~"

At this moment, his brain was buzzing, only the deafening sound of cannons, and the flying cannonballs, he said anxiously to the samurai beside him.

Surrender quickly, if they don't surrender, their lives may be lost.

Soon, a white flag was raised above the city walls, and the gates were slowly opened.

"Haha, surrender~"

When Yang Yun saw it, he couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Liu Jin is right, these Japanese people are all wolves, if you don't beat them, they will hurt them, they will not know that they are afraid, and they will grin at you, only if they are comfortable, their noses and faces are swollen, and they are scared, they will be as docile as dogs and as obedient as dogs."

Then Yang Yun couldn't help but hear Liu Jin's words, so he smiled and said to the thousands of households around him.

"Haha~ Zhuangyuanlang is right, these Japanese people just don't clean up, they dare to levy heavy taxes on our Ming merchant ships, and dare to attack our Ming merchant ships, if we don't uproot this Da Nei family, they won't know what to be afraid of."

"Yes, after occupying this place, we will continue to go to Nagato and Zhou Fang to kill, and kill this Ouchi family cleanly."

The many thousands of households next to them also shouted one by one, and this battle was comfortable.

"Into the city~"

"Arrest all the people of the Ouchi family, as well as all these Japanese samurai and soldiers, and I heard that some merchants are buying slaves on a large scale, and are going to use them to reclaim wasteland on the Ryukyu side, and maybe I can sell them when the time comes."

Yang Yun smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and led his men and horses into the city.

As for these surrendered Japanese people and the Ouchi family, he had already figured out a way out.

Liu Jin has already explained that he will occupy Iwami Province for a long time in the future and open a silver mine here, so Liu Jin does not intend to let them go of the Ouchi family and the samurai group who rule here.

It is necessary to carry out a thorough clean-up of this place, and clean up these old forces in the past, so that it will be much easier to manage Iwami Province in the future.

The low-level Japanese people are still useful, and it will definitely be indispensable to open silver mines in the future, and these low-level Japanese people can be hired when the time comes.

Successfully took the Iwami Kingdom, Yang Yun also began to follow Liu Jin's instructions and did not rush to attack the rest of the Ouchi family, but began to look for a suitable place to build a port on the coastline north of Iwami Province.

Later, this is the most important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom, not only has a huge silver mine, but also the place where the Ming garrison will be stationed in the future, and because of the special geographical location here, the fleet going to the Golden Continent can also pass through here.

Liu Jin intends to build this place into an important colony point on the route to the Golden Continent.

Therefore, this port must be built, and this Iwami country is too small, and it is still a little far from the seaside, so it must be similar to Tianjin at that time, continue to build a new area, and rely on the port to build a prosperous port in the colonial era.

Of course, now it's just a matter of finding a place to build a port to facilitate the berthing of ships, the loading and unloading of goods, and there will be a huge fleet of ships to continuously transport materials over, but it is very inconvenient if there is no port.

……

Zhou Defense Province Tata Rahama, the origin of the Ouchi family, is also the base of the Ouchi family.

"Newspaper~"

"The 10,000 Ming army landed in Iwami country, and Iwami country has fallen~"

A samurai hurried to Ouchi Yoshixing's side, and he didn't have time to catch his breath.

"What?"

"The Ming army has landed in Iwami Province?"

When Ouchi Yoshixing heard this, his face immediately changed.

Before the news of the people sent to the Kyoto area from his side came back, the army of the Ming Dynasty had already arrived in Iwami Province and took it effortlessly.

"It's over, Da Ming's side must have come to take revenge."

Then he began to walk around restlessly, thinking quickly in his mind.

"Father, don't be afraid of them, fight with them~"

At this time, Ouchi Yoshiko's son, Ouchi Yoshitaka, stood up and said murderously.

"Smack~"

When Ouchi Yoshixing heard this, he immediately slapped him.

"What to fight with the Ming army?"

"This time, there are tens of thousands of Ming troops in our country, even if we fight this 10,000 Ming army, we can still fight tens of thousands of Ming troops?"

"Even if we win, our Ouchi family will definitely be greatly damaged, and when the time comes, will the Niko clan, the Mori clan, and the Shimazu clan and the Ito clan on the Kyushu side let us go?"

Ouchi Yoshixing looked at his son like a fierce beast that chooses people and devours people, this brainless thing, thinking about the problem is so simple, he has a feeling of hating iron and not steel.

"However, the Ming people deceived people too much, and if they didn't declare war, they would directly occupy our Iwami Province, and maybe they would soon attack our side of Zhou Fang and Nagato, and we would still have to fight at that time."

Yoshitaka Ouchi endured the hot pain, stood up straight, and lowered his head and said.

"You're right~"

After listening to this, Ouchi Yoshixing nodded slowly.

Then he thought about it and said: "Now it is the Ming Dynasty that uses force against our entire Wa Kingdom, this is not the matter of our Ouchi family, but the matter of our entire Wa Kingdom, our Ouchi family can't fight hard with them, we have to spread this matter to the entire Wa Kingdom, and let the shogunate discuss the strategy of dealing with it." ”

"So what we have to adopt now is to delay the army, first stabilize the Ming army."

"Come on, immediately send someone to Iwami Province to meet the Great Tomorrow Envoy, send a generous gift, and drag them."
