Chapter 226: Clearing one of Kagoshima Bay
Itishin Tadaro did not surrender, he felt that he could 'stand' and 'stand' again.
Shimazu Takahisa has not collapsed yet, even if the 'elite' Rui is annihilated and his son is captured, he feels that he can hold on a little longer. Anyway, Qing Huaxiang couldn't hide the fact that he entered Kagoshima Bay, so he asked for 'sex' to send someone to summon Kaoru Honda to discuss countermeasures, but Kaoru Honda didn't come!
As soon as this old boy heard that the cities of Ijiin might have fallen, he immediately started the siege of Tao Longfang again, but he did not fight the other party to death, but continued to seize military power in the command of the battle, and won over the wealthy families who might be close to him.
Tao Longfang is also a long-standing person, and immediately judged: "The situation is different!" Although he didn't know what was going on, he vaguely guessed that things had changed in his favor!
"Hold on! Be sure to hold on! ”
At the same time, Tang Xiuyoshi's follow-up troops reached Sakurajima, and Xu Yuanliang's troops also came to report the victory: they captured 350 stone of grain in Kajigi Castle. The East Gate celebrated the great joy, Xu Hai persuaded the East Gate Qing to take advantage of the situation to storm the city, first take the Ijiin Uzhi Castle, pacify the Kagoshima area, and then order the Satsuma Hao clan to surrender; Tang Xiuji persuaded the East Gate Qing to wait for reinforcements and solve the Quartet reinforcements under the city, and then the Ijiin Uzhi Castle could go down without a fight.
When the two opinions were in tat-for-tat, there was amazing news on the Western Front: the liver Fu family had a move!
It turned out that as soon as the news of Higashi'monkei's entry into Kagoshima Bay came out, all the countries of southern Kyushu were shaken, and the Osumi family was especially shocked.
Kagoshima Bay is formed by the Satsuma Peninsula and the Osumi Peninsula, and the East Gate Keiraka controls Kagoshima Bay, not only the Shimazu family will be destroyed, but even the liver Fu family is also in danger!
Of course, unlike the Shimazu family's 'essence' and concentration on the coast of Kagoshima Bay, Osumi Takayama Castle, the base of the Liver Fu family, is on the other side of the Osumi Peninsula, and the Liver River and the Hishida River, which break out of the largest impact plain of the Osumi Peninsula, both flow into Shibushi Bay on the east side of the Osumi Peninsula.
Shimazu Rixin Zhai is in the 'daughter-in-law' liver payment and continuation, and when he hears the news, he knows that the Shimazu family is in danger! Hurriedly begged Shimazu to continue to send troops, and the liver paid and continued to be afraid of the military might of the East 'Gate' Qing, and did not dare to agree, Shimazu Ishin Zhai cried and fell under his court, and said: "The liver is connected with the Shimazu territory, and the blood is connected, if the Shimazu family perishes, can the liver pay family survive alone?" ”
He was also afraid that the eastern 'gate' would be long, so he sent troops to the border between the two countries.
Along the coast of Kagoshima Bay, none of the various factions has comprehensive information: Neither the East 'Gate' nor the East Gate Kei knows whether Tao Longfang is dead or alive, nor does he know that Honda Kaoru has a different heart; if Tao Takabo had known that the East 'Gate' Kei had achieved such a victory, he might have launched an all-out counterattack, but unfortunately he did not know; Shimazu Takahisa was afraid that he would lose Kagoshima in the past, and he was afraid that he would turn against Honda Kaoru in the future; Honda Kaoru and Liver Fu Kansu and other wealthy families still did not know whether the East 'Gate' Qing forces were still 'touching' and did not dare to make a decision -- for a time, several forces had their own scruples. No one dares to act rashly!
The East Gate Keiji summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and Tang Xiuyoshili presided over it, believing that when Sakurajima Island was used as a base, the strongholds along the bay should be swept away first, and the shipping lanes between Hirado and Sakurajima should be kept safe, and then the two countries could be Xutu Satsuma and Osumi.
Xu Hai disagreed, and said: "The enemy is the main one, I am a guest, and I have arrived at the 'door' of other people's houses, either I will break into the dove and occupy the magpie's nest, or I will simply retreat, how can there be a reason to stay at the 'door' of other people's houses for a long time!" The longer it drags on, the more Dongying Hao clan will be involved, and the more bad it will be for us! Therefore, he advocated a strong attack, saying: "Either concentrate firepower to attack the city, or take the initiative to attack and attack the reinforcements first!" Whether it's Shimazu Takahisa or the soldiers and horses of the liver Fu family, let's pick one first! ”
Tang Xiuyoshi said: "I only went to see it in the morning, Ijiin Ichi-Uji City is very solid, it is not idle to go down, if we concentrate our forces to attack the city, in case the liver pays and continues to come from the northeast, and Shimazu Takahisa comes from the southwest, the two sides will attack, and the defenders in the city should be combined with the outside, we are only afraid that there will be a big defeat under the city!" If you want to divide the troops into the northeast and southwest, you are afraid that the troops will not be concentrated and the siege will not be possible! As for taking the initiative to attack the army of Shimazu Takahisa or the Liver Fu family, it was to fight on land - we are not familiar with the terrain in this area, and we are afraid that we will suffer! Whether it is Shimazu Takahisa or Liver Fuji, as long as the army is pushed inland for ten miles, we will be chasing at that time? Or not chasing? If you don't chase it, wouldn't you give up halfway? If we are chasing, what if the other side retreats again and again and leads us deep inland? After hearing this, everyone said that it was reasonable, and Tang Hideyoshi said: "Therefore, I thought: instead of taking such a risk, it is better to consolidate the Sakurajima Water Village first, firmly grasp the entire Kagoshima Bay in your hands, and lay a foundation that can be advanced and retreated!" Wait for the enemy to 'show' his flaws! ”
The East 'Gate' Qing thought that Tang Xiuyoshi's words were true, so he sent warships to sweep the coastal strongholds of Kagoshima Bay, and wanted to use Kagoshima Bay as a water village for Qinghuaxiang!
Although Xu Hai's suggestion was not adopted, he made a great contribution this time, and before the end of the war, the East Gate Kei overtook him as a pipe belt, and allocated a three-masted warship to him, equipped with 30 muskets, two attached brigs, and a number of other small boats, a total of more than 220 sailors, Xu Hai begged the East Gate Kei to allocate 200 prisoners of the Shimazu family to him this time - most of the more than 400 captives captured this time were quite rebellious, and they thought about Shimazu, East Gate Qing couldn't think of controlling them for a while, so he didn't dare to use it lightly, at this time Xu Hai wanted half of his mouth, Tang Xiuji strongly opposed it when he heard it, and the east 'Gate' Qing asked Xu Haidao: "You only have two hundred people in your headquarters, and you will give you two hundred prisoners, can you control them?" ”
Xu Hai 'stiffened' and 'chested' and said: "Yes!" ”
Tang Xiuji shouted: "Chief Captain, don't listen to his 'messy' boasting!" How old is he? How long has it been in the sea? How many battles have you fought? I can manage 400 people! ”
Xu Hai didn't wait for Dongmenqing to express his position, so he said: "Although I haven't been in the sea for a long time, the battles have been fought one after another!" Although he is young, he is only one year younger than the general owner! ”
Tang Xiuji sneered: "You dare to come to compare the chief owner? ”
"Don't dare to compare!" Xu Haidao: "But the general owner can command four or five thousand people, and I can command four or five hundred people, so I can always command it!" ”
"Alright, alright!" Dongmen' Qingdao: "Everyone is their own people, and it is no problem to quarrel for public affairs, but the battle of will is meaningless." He glanced at Xu Hai twice and said, "Okay!" I'll give you these two hundred captives!" But if there is a 'mess', the responsibility will be all on you - I won't even care about Uncle Xu's face at that time - do you dare to take it? ”
Xu Hai shouted: "I dare! What do I have to do with my uncle! ”
The east 'gate' celebrated the great joy and said: "Good! Then I'll give you another three-masted galleon! To say to a tube band, that's a bit over-the-top, don't let me down! ”
Xu Hai was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, the boss!" ”
Dongmen' Kei ordered him to patrol the coast of the Osumi Peninsula south of Sakurajima, Tang Hideyoshi to patrol the coast of the Satsuma Peninsula south of Sakurajima, Xu Yuanliang to patrol the north of Sakurajima, and Zhou Dafu to lead Andrew and Zhao Chengwu to guard the entrance and exit of Kagoshima Bay, and he himself led his troops to camp on the shore.
Xu Hai led the army ship and set off, the captured group of widows had seen his means of killing people without blinking an eye on the battlefield, and they were also a little afraid of him, Xu Hai saw that he was majestic, so he was not too embarrassed for them, and drove the ship to a barren beach on the Osumi Peninsula, first entertained them with a half-full meal, and gathered the group of widows by the bonfire at night, and said: "The Shimazu family is about to end, do you know?" ”
He was born "sexually" smart, language talent is not under the East "Gate" Qing, this time has learned a lot of Japanese language, this sentence is said directly by himself, no need to translate, the group of Japanese people have heard the prestige of the double-headed koi, know the East "Gate" Qing had a prestige "fat" before, swept North Kyushu, before the first battle of the aid of the family Shimazu Takahisa still had hope, but after the defeat most of them lost confidence in the Shimazu family! At this time, when I saw this murderous demon who didn't blink, I was worried in my heart, and when I drank it, I was panicked.
Only a strong man stepped forward and shouted, "No! Lord Kijiu will definitely fight back and recover the lost ground! ”
Xu Hai asked, "What's your name?" ”
The strong man said, "My name is Pingma!" ”
Xu Hai asked again: "Does anyone else think so?" ”
Another tall, thin man stood up and shouted, "Me! Xu Hai asked for his name, but his name was Babei.
These two people are covered with scars, when they were captured they fell into the net and were tied up alive, not their own abandonment, two hundred Japanese soldiers saw that someone came out, there were dozens of people who were stupid 'wanting' to move, it seems that these two people are quite influential among the soldiers, Xu Hai sneered, and ordered the two to be tied up, and the stupid 'desire' moved all secretly screamed a fluke, thinking: "Fortunately, it is not strong." ”
But Xu Hai didn't kill them, and asked, "But does anyone think that the Shimazu family will definitely perish?" ”
But there are three or four Japanese soldiers out of the line to echo, headed by *** Sen, people are strong, but the face is more obscene than Tang Xiuji, one mouth scolded Shimazu Guijiu and the East 'Gate' son, Xu Da Leader compared to just a bunch of ***, Xu Hai was overjoyed, so he rewarded them with wine, and more than ten people rushed out to scold Shimazu Guijiu, Xu Hai appreciated the wine one by one, and others wanted to echo it, but this round of good things has ended, and those who didn't have time to scold can't help but regret it!
Xu Hai ordered that all the widows be allowed to get on the boat, except for the dozen or so who scolded "Shimazu Takahisa is ***", all of them were half hungry, not allowed to eat enough, and did not give weapons, and Pingma and Yabei were tied to two masts to blow the wind, and they were not given a mouthful of food.
