"Enemy attack!"

With a panicked shout coming from outside the main castle of the castle, the entire Kagoshima Castle was suddenly plunged into a panic.

The castle town, located outside Kagoshima Castle, is filled with the screams of women and the cries of children.

Just off the coast of Kagoshima, twenty warships led by Yu Degao had already crossed the Osumi Strait and burst into the bay of Kagoshima.

Due to the lockdown order and financial difficulties, the Shimazu family's originally decent sailor army has no longer been in its heyday, and now only a few small morning boats and customs ships remain.

On the Sun Wu, You Degao calmly issued an artillery order, and the Luzon fleet fired a salvo at the Shimazu ships that were still docked in the port.

Nearly 100 wooden ships were destroyed at the port of Kagoshima's castle town, and sawdust was scattered and debris was everywhere on the port.

In the castle tower on the third floor of Kagoshima Castle, under the backdrop of cherry blossoms, Shimazu Mitsuhisa and others saw this shocking scene on the sea as soon as they walked out of the assessment room.

Immediately, everyone in the Shimazu family was furious.

"Baga, the Luzon people are so deceitful that they have hit the gate of their own domain, and they are ready to prepare for war."

"My lord, the power of the collapse of the Luzon people is too strong, and we can't beat it."

Shimazu Kutsu and other lords and samurai immediately persuaded them.

How could Shimazu Mitsuhisa endure this breath, because of the outer city system, coupled with the fact that he once dominated Kyushu, the number of samurai of the Shimazu family far exceeded that of other feudal domains, and the ratio of samurai to ordinary people reached an astonishing quarter.

This not only caused the Shimazu family's long-term financial difficulties, but also cultivated the characteristics of the Shimazu family's martial and courageous forces.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of thing, except for Shimazu Hisatsu and other retainers who are still somewhat sensible, the rest of the Shimazu retainers are all screaming and eager to draw their knives.

A group of ashigaru and samurai carrying the Shimazu family maru cross family crest banner soon assembled in Kagoshima Castle and began to drive towards the port under the leadership of a group of generals.

Off the coast of Kagoshima, the Luzon fleet has ravaged the entire port beyond recognition with more than a dozen rounds of shelling.

Seeing a team of Shimazu soccer balls wearing hats and straw sandals cautiously lining up close to the port, You Degao waved his hand again and signaled to continue firing.

In addition, groups of marines began to board small boats from the other side of the battleship to prepare for the landing operation.

The fierce artillery fire of the Luzon fleet extinguished the bravery of the Shimazu family and the samurai on the spot, and seeing that the artillery fire of the Luzon people did not stop, the Shimazu family, who was beaten and howled wolf, had to retreat to Kagoshima Castle again.

Under these conditions, the Marines were able to land smoothly and set up defensive positions in the harbor, and frigates and cruisers began to move closer to the pier.

The entire fleet landed a total of 2,000 soldiers, and it also took half an hour to send six three-inch guns to the shore.

"Remember that the purpose of this operation is mainly to deal a punitive blow to the Shimazu family, to force them to defect to us, and not to allow excessive use of force, understand?"

At the port of Kagoshima, a general of all ranks, dressed in officer attire, constantly conveys orders to his subordinates, and then begins to march towards the castle under the noses of the defenders of Kagoshima Castle.

As for the castle town under Kagoshima Castle, it was magnificently ignored by the Luzon army.

Luzon is not a robber, and he has no idea of looting the Shimazu family, not to mention that he knows the poor finances of the Shimazu family, and it is estimated that he will not be able to rob anything good, but will lose his reputation in vain.

On the Sun Wu, You Degao proudly told Mao Yuanyi about his combat philosophy.

"Mao Shiro, Japan is different from Taiwan and Ryukyu, there is a large population here, and the feudal system is clear, and it is impossible to directly carry out a conquest war, so this operation is mainly to subdue the Shimazu family."

"My second brother once said that the Japanese naturally worship the strong, and the more calmly you talk to them, the easier it is to be despised by them, so you can only use this method to subdue."

After the Taiwan war, Mao Yuanyi's official appointment has also come down.

In the letter, Liu Ximing instructed that Mao Yuanyi should be vigorously welcomed and that he should be given the post of right attendant of the military department.

Because the Luzon military system is still in the process of being perfected, he was specially asked to follow the navy's actions and understand the Luzon military system as a whole before taking office.

Liu Ximing was naturally very happy to recruit such a talented person as Mao Yuanyi with rich experience in military theory, and if Luzon's military theory was to be perfected, it was necessary to have such a group of talents, so he entrusted Mao Yuanyi with an important task.

After listening to You Degao's words, Mao Yuanyi smiled.

"I'm afraid the governor's move is more than this, the Shimazu family, as a powerful daimyo subordinate to the Tokugawa shogunate, has always been at odds with the shogunate, could it be that the lord has instructed you to fail to achieve any other instructions, otherwise why did you talk about the matter of prestige?"

"Hahaha, Mao Shilang really knows how to see thousands of miles, Japan has a large population and a martial style, it can be said that the tiger is on the side, such an enemy country must make it chaotic, and we can take advantage of the fire."

You Degao's eyes narrowed, and his right hand gently pointed to Kagoshima Castle, which was black and white, "The Shimazu family is the one I selected to stir up trouble in Luzon, but the rice has to be eaten bite by bite, and I'm afraid this matter needs to be managed slowly." ”

You Degao and others scolded Fang Yu on the battleship, but the Shimazu family in Kagoshima Castle was already in chaos.

Since Toyosei Hideyoshi led his troops to invade Korea until Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan has been peaceful for more than 20 years, and even a rural daimyo like the Shimazu family has not been fully equipped for more than ten years.

Now that he was rashly attacked by Luzon, the entire Shimazu family retainers were a little flustered.

However, in the end, it was rich in history, and the Shimazu family once occupied Kyushu, and because of the outer castle system, they retained a large number of feudal lords, and it can be said that it was the family with the largest number of professional samurai among the Japanese feudal clans.

After a little chaos, the defenders of Kagoshima Castle were quickly organized and began to defend the castle, while lighting wolf smoke to summon the samurai and peasants of the entire Satsuma Domain.

Unexpectedly, Wei Min'an, who was in charge of leading the attack, calmed down when he saw the wolf smoke rising from Kagoshima City.

"Give me orders, build fortifications, and defend the harbor."

The Yoshijin of the Chozong Ibu, who had disembarked with the Flying Bear Brigade, came up a little anxiously and bowed deeply when they met.

"General, wait a little longer, the samurai from all over Satsuma will come, please give the order, and I am willing to take the samurai team as the vanguard."

Wei Min'an looked at the Changzong Jiqin who was wearing a big red armor-inlaid armor with a smile on the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said;

"What I want is to let them all assemble and break it at once, otherwise it will be called a threat."

"General, the samurai of the Shimazu barbarian family are among the best even in Japan, please think twice."

Nagazong's Ibu Jiqin is a little anxious, although I have a lot of trust in the combat power of the Luzon army, but this is the nest of the Shimazu family, they can gather at least 20,000 peasant soldiers, as the so-called ants bite elephants to death.

However, Wei Min'an was confident, now that the port had been fully occupied by himself, there were fortifications on the left and right sides and in the front, and there was fleet artillery support in the rear, so it was a pity that such a location could not be used well.

On the castle tower of Kagoshima Castle, Mitsuhisa Shimazu and others also looked at the Luzon army like fools.

There are only a few thousand men and horses, but they landed but did not attack, but gave themselves enough time to organize their men and horses, what do these Luzon people want to do?

Putting down the monoculars that he had bought from the Dutch, Shimazu Mitsuhisa asked his retainers with a puzzled expression.

Shimazu genealogy generation Kayama Hisamasa nodded solemnly with an excited face, "Lord, this is a godsend, the Luzon people are arrogant and strong, just for us to break it in one fell swoop, and I also ask the lord to rectify the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and his subordinates are willing to be the vanguard." ”

"I'm willing to fight", a group of Shimazu samurai who had changed into armor behind Hishimasa Kayama were all eager to try.

The entire Kagoshima battlefield fell into an eerie silence, and the sea breeze from the ocean blew the Kagoshima Castle Maru Cross Flag whirring.

However, the Luzon army at the port of Kagoshima Castle was always as steady as Mount Tai, and watched as the peasants and soldiers of the Shimazu family, Hinata and Osumi and other countries gathered.

By the third day, nearly 20,000 ashigaru had gathered under the entire castle of Kagoshima, and the morale of the Shimazu family was greatly boosted.

The big war seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
