With the heart of victory, more than 3,000 officers and men of the Fourth Infantry Wing immediately began to attack the city despite the fatigue of the rapid march.

However, due to the lack of siege equipment and the lack of support from the engineer wing, the 4th Infantry Wing was unable to break through the gates, despite the bravery of all the officers and men of the 4th Infantry Wing and the extreme panic of the defenders in Tsuchihara Castle.

Li Dan, who came back to his senses, also immediately began to mobilize the whole city, and a large number of Japanese ronins subordinate to Li Dan were requisitioned to the city, and the thugs raised by the maritime merchants in the city were also forcibly requisitioned by Li Dan.

Adhering to the concept that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, Li Dan ordered people to carry the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated in the treasury for many years to the city, saying that as long as the people in the city are willing to go to the city to help in the war, they can grab a handful.

In the face of the temptation of gold and silver and the 30-year prestige of "Kapitan", many young and strong people in the city took money to the city, or helped carry supplies, or helped throw stones under the city, or helped wave flags and shout.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted from afternoon to evening, and the second brigade of the fourth wing broke through the south gate of Tuyuan twice, but they were repelled by the daredevils organized by Li Dan, and there were hundreds of corpses.

Seeing that it was getting dark, but the Fourth Wing still failed to break into the city, Koji Yamamoto was ashamed, and actually put on armor with a broken heart and wanted to lead the troops to attack in person.

Deputy Wing Captain Wu Sansi forcibly hugged Yamamoto and persuaded him bitterly, and Yamamoto calmed his irritable thoughts.

"Whoever first lands on the land will be given the sword of the lord and awarded him the title of the first warrior of the wing!"

In order to boost morale, Koji Yamamoto took out the "one" knife he had obtained from the lord earlier. The navy also sent reinforcements at this time, and a team of 600 men rushed to Tsuchihara Castle with 23 large and small cannons dismantled from the ship, and then shelled the castle.

The addition of the Navy reduced the pressure on the 4th Infantry Wing, and the 23 guns caused great distress and damage to the defenders of Tsuchihara Castle.

Late at night, bonfires were lit by both armies, and the light of the fires reflected miles away.

Wu Sansi, who was born in the hereditary martial arts, proposed the technique of attacking the heart, and he ordered the Fujian soldiers to shout to the city with iron cylinders, saying that the Ming Imperial Army's expedition to Japan was to avenge the Japanese invasion of China by the Japanese invaders. Therefore, all Chinese should help the imperial army, and they must not be accomplices of the Japanese army, so that their ancestors will be dusted and their compatriots will be unable to redress their grievances.

He also said that all those who were in front of the battle would be pardoned for their past sins and given the emperor pro-army treatment. There is a person who captures the head of the thief Li Dan, and gives him a brocade cloth and a flying fish suit, if he wants to be an official, he will be a deputy general. If you don't want to be an official, you can pay a hundred taels.

Later, he ordered people to declare that once the imperial army broke the city, not only would those who aided the abuse be punished by the royal law, but their relatives in the Ming Dynasty would also be implicated.

This strategy was really effective, and there were already a large number of Chinese living in the city of Tuyuan, who went out to sea as pirates, could see the king's law, and were lawless. But the landing is for the people under the rule of the imperial court, that is, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about future generations.

In this way, the hearts of the people in the city began to fluctuate, and the resistance of the city was also very weak. Those Japanese ronins under Li Dan were all willing to fight to the death to defend the city, but their immediate bosses wavered one by one, which made these ronins at a loss.

"The emperor is pro-army, for the country and the people!"

"Chinese don't fight Chinese!"

“......”

Under Wu Sansi's arrangement, the imperial officers and soldiers shouted in unison towards the city. There were even Fujianese soldiers who sang songs from their hometowns, asking the townspeople in the city to stop working for the Japanese. The battlefield uprising, glorious anyway, the Ming Imperial Army and the Ming Dynasty are not guilty of their past, and they also have a bowl of rice to eat in the vast sea.

Li Dan in the city saw that his subordinates around him looked at him badly, and he knew that something was wrong, and there was no Satsuma reinforcement in the direction of Tsuruma Castle, so he also retreated.

Nephew Li Si was bent on saving his life, so he persuaded his uncle to withdraw quickly, if it was too late to let the city move, his Li family would be in trouble.

Li Dan didn't dare to hesitate, and asked Li Si to hurry up and keep the clansmen from the north gate first. Later, Li Dan also left the city with more than 200 henchmen.

The news of the departure of "Kapitan" quickly spread, and the maritime merchants in the city gathered together and shouted to the family members who were defending the city and the thugs to lay down their arms.

At three o'clock, Tsuchihara Castle surrendered.

After entering the city, the officers and men of the 4th Infantry Wing and the Navy immediately took control of the city gates, blocked the roads in the city, strictly ordered the residents of the city not to go out, and strictly ordered the officers and men not to disturb the people.

This was the military order of the Duke of Wei, and the base camp needed Tsuchihara Castle as a key fortress in Kyushu to control the Kyushu countries and the Satsuma Domain.

A city that could provide food and manpower for the imperial army was much more important than a city that burned down.

After dawn, Shen Yourong, chief of staff of the combined fleet and former commander-in-chief of the enemy, entered the city to gather the Han maritime merchants in the city.

"As long as you sincerely repent and no longer help Li Dan and the Japanese shogunate to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial army, the imperial court will recognize the original industry in Japan, and the imperial army will also protect it."

After listening to what Shen Yourong said, and seeing with his own eyes that the Ming Imperial Army had indeed committed no crime against the people and merchants of Tuyuan City, the maritime merchants in the city expressed their willingness to help the Imperial Army conquer Japan, not only to atone for their past sins, but also to contribute to the great maritime cause of the Ming Dynasty.

With the help of these Han maritime merchants, who were originally subordinate to Li Dan, the imperial army quickly stabilized Tuyuan Castle. The Chinese and Japanese people in the city are gradually at peace.

Xu is because of his long-term dealings with Chinese, and because he has a daughter married to a Chinese wife in his family, and the Japanese in Tuyuan Castle are even very close to the Daming Imperial Army, an army from China.

When the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Wing was ordered to build a defensive line and defend against the Satsuma army, the local Japanese came to help. Some Japanese even made their own ladders, saying that they would help the Imperial Army attack Tsurumaru Castle.

The relationship between the military and the civilian population is quite harmonious.

Gonggong Wei, who had just landed, was very satisfied with Shen Yourong's arrangement, and it was rumored that the maritime merchants and the imperial army should have a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.

Shimazu Tadatsune, the lord of Satsuma Castle at Tsurumaru Castle, did not send troops to help in the battle after he knew that Tsuchihara Castle was attacked by the Ming ** team.

This shrewd Shimazu family governor may have the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but soon this idea became unrealistic because of Li Dan, who fled in embarrassment.

Li Dan, who lost Tsuchihara Castle and the fleet, became insignificant, and when he came to Tsurumaru Castle in the past, the Shimazu family governor was sure to come forward to pick him up, but this time he was left cold outside the city for half a day, and he was not let in until the evening.

Moreover, Li Dan was treated unfairly. The Satsuma family demanded that his guards hand over their weapons, on the grounds that they did not know if any of them were spies of the Ming Kingdom.

Li Dan, who was humiliated, was furious, but he had to bow his head under the eaves and was forced to accept the arrangement of the Shimazu family.

Three days later, Li Dan never dreamed that Shimazu Tadashi not only did not report to the shogunate, nor did he send troops to seize Tsuchihara, but handed him over to the Ming ** team.

The Shimazu family gave an explanation, they believed that this was the Chinese's own business, so the Shimazu family should not interfere.

"The army of the Ming Kingdom launched an attack on the lords of the shogunate on the soil of Japan, why is it none of Japan's business! Isn't the Shimazu family a vassal of the shogunate? ”

On the way to Mingying, Li Dan protested to the Shimazu family's national old Shimizu, but the other party regarded him as if he had not seen him.

"Uncle, the angel of the court may not kill you, leaving you is more useful!"

Li Si comforted his uncle, he believed that the imperial court was an expedition, and it was extremely difficult in terms of geography, humanities and logistics, so the imperial court needed someone who knew Japan well, and his uncle was obviously a good partner to work with.

Hearing his nephew say this, Li Dan also suddenly became enlightened, but regretted that he should not refuse to be wooed by the imperial court envoy.

"If I can really do something for the imperial court, it will also be an honor for my Li family."

Li Dan, who had adjusted his mentality, was quickly sent to the Great Tomorrow Envoy, and then, he and his nephew Li Si and 36 other people were beheaded by angel order.

A secret report of victory also sailed to the Ryukyus on a clipper on the same day.
