Chapter 228: Zheng Zhilong is "proud" to a new realm (ask for subscription)
The Japanese army came quickly.
The Saga Domain's long and early arrival was the earliest, followed by the Omura Domain, and a total of 2,000 feudal soldiers drove outside Nagasaki in just three days.
Behind him, the armies of the Saga and Fukuoka domains were organized.
Zheng Zhilong insisted on standing still and did not talk to the shogunate, but Matsuura Zhenxin was not restricted and could enter and leave Nagasaki at will.
Nabeshima Katsushige didn't go far at all, and now the people are in the feudal barracks outside, "What does Zheng Zhilong mean?" What does he want to do? "As long as you are not stupid, you will be the first to launch an offensive against the first batch of feudal soldiers who arrive. But Zheng Jun didn't move at all.
But if Zheng Zhilong intends to negotiate peace with Japan, he drove back Tang Tongshi, who was sent by Nabeshima Katsushige twice, and that person didn't even see the face of a chief general.
Nabeshima Katsushige was completely confused, and he couldn't figure out what Zheng Zhilong was going to do. Fortunately, the letter from Matsuura came out.
Matsuura Zhenxin's face was ugly, and Zheng Zhilong's words seemed to be lingering in his ears when he came out, and his mood couldn't get better.
"He despises me too much for the Yamato samurai."
Matsuura Shinyoshi didn't burst out with foul language, but the whole person was also like an angry Akita dog, grinning with teeth.
Although he had the idea of borrowing Zheng Zhilong's hand to break the family's predicament, Matsuura Zhenxin was not psychologically prepared to be a real Japanese traitor. At most, he is now a Japanese profiteer who can ignore Japanese interests and blindly take care of his own interests, and there is still a difference between him and a national thief like the Eight Great Families, and after seeing and hearing Zheng Zhilong's contempt for the Japanese soldiers, he still can't help but be angry in his heart.
What's more, this is what he originally wanted to perform, and now he doesn't need to deliberately show off his acting skills.
Nabeshima Katsushige didn't say a word, just stared at Matsuura Jinshin with his eyes. A big 'say' word shone above his head.
"Zheng Zhilong hopes to see more of our military forces assembled in Nagasaki, Saga, Fukuoka, Choshu, Karatsu, Kurume, Satsuma, etc., and the Kyushu (island) feudal domains all sent troops to Caihao, and then he was defeated in one fell swoop, as a warning to Japan."
"He's too arrogant, too arrogant."
Matsuura Zhenxin believes that with the combat power of Zheng Zhilong's naval division, he still has a crushing advantage in single-handedly facing the whole of Japan. But on land, how many people did he bring? There are 10,000, but how can there be 15,000?
And the entire Kyushu feudal domain can easily raise 350,000 feudal soldiers. This is a standing feudal army.
Matsuura Zhenxin really thinks Zheng Zhilong is arrogant. It made him feel a kind of shame in his heart.
Nabeshima Katsushige's cheeks twitched, but his expression was already calm, and he looked at Matsuura Zhenxin, and then his eyes were aimed at Junyori Omura and the others.
"Calm down, hold on to your sanity in war, and don't let anger fill your heart."
"How do you know that Zheng Zhilong is not attacking the west?"
"If we concentrate all our forces in Nagasaki, but Zheng Zhilong leaves here on a warship and kills other places, then the daimyo and his troops in various places can only be killed?"
This is Zheng Zhilong's greatest confidence in fighting Japan. That's the biggest benefit of having strategic initiative.
The four words "avoiding the real and attacking the false" are the shackles made of a thousand years of black iron, which stumble the hands and feet of the Japanese.
Matsuura Zhenxin opened his mouth wide, and his angry mind was a little clear, yes, Zheng Zhilong can run. Thinking of Nabeshima Katsushige's words, he felt a chill in his heart. If Zheng Zhilong withdrew from Nagasaki with a large army, and instead plundered the other feudal domains unscrupulously, the impact would not be less than the Nagasaki incident.
This is like their Matsuura family organizing people to invade North Korea, or following the Chinese ass to the southeast coast to fight the autumn wind, the victims can only passively garrison along the way, but the cost of troops and material resources is incalculable. Even if the whole of Japan cooperates sincerely, it will not last.
"So what's going on?" Mitsushige Nabeshima's face changed. The Saga Domain was very close to the sea, and Zheng Zhilong withdrew from Nagasaki, followed the coastline around Shimabara (where Amakusa Shiro made trouble), and entered Tsukushi Lagoon, so the Saga Domain was completely open to the Zheng army.
Junyori Omura had a hint of joy on his face. Don't look at him, he has already pulled out all the feudal soldiers under him, this is his duty, otherwise the shogunate will not spare him. But as a small daimyo with a height of less than 30,000 stones, the Omura family has relied on obedience since the beginning of their ancestors, and they have kept their own territory by holding their heads and begging for mercy. In the face of Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses, Junyori Omura was obviously powerless to resist at all. However, the territory of the Omura Domain was completely wrapped in the middle of the Saga Domain and the Hirado Domain and the huge Omura Bay, and now even if the feudal soldiers are emptied, it is still very safe.
Nabeshima Katsushige glanced at Junyori Omura disdainfully, and didn't care about it at all. This guy's grandfather was the first Kishitan daimyo in Japan, who tried his best to promote the opening of Nagasaki and sent a youth group to Europe, all of which were precedents for a while, and can be described as a giant of the times; On the other hand, his performance as a Warring States daimyo was not excellent, and he even had some scumbags, not only failed to expand the territory, but was also oppressed by the surrounding forces from time to time, and just survived under all kinds of pressure.
From Oda to Toyotomi, from Toyotomi to Tokugawa, the entire Omura family's foundation has been preserved by virtue of the nest.
By the time of his father, because the shogunate wanted to ban monotheism, his father quickly converted to Buddhism, and in turn persecuted and persecuted many believers. It's shameless to call Nabeshima Katsushige.
Now that Junyori Omura has performed like this, in the eyes of Nabeshima Katsushige, it is logical. Weasel cubs, a litter is not worth a litter?
"Of course, while the troops were being transferred, the feudal soldiers were left to garrison." Nabeshima Katsushige didn't have a good idea, but he firmly believed that with the bravery of the Yamato samurai, they could successfully defeat Zheng Zhilong.
"But Your Excellency, in that case, we would be distracted. If Zheng Zhilong doesn't go...... "Songpu Town channeled.
"Even if we disperse our forces, we have more than 20,000 people, and we can't take Zheng Zhilong?"
Nabeshima Katsushige seemed to have forgotten about the Battle of Korea, and only thought that he was close to twice the strength of Zheng Jun, and it was not a problem to defeat the other party.
Matsuura Zhenxin's mind was clear, and he hurriedly said, "Don't forget the cannon in his hand." ”
Compared to the bravery of the samurai, compared to the musket, Matsuura Zhenxin did not think that the Japanese army would be defeated, but Zheng Zhilong had a lot of cannons.
"It is true that there are a lot of cannons of the Ming people, but we also have national collapse." This is Kyushu, and it is the first place to trade with the Nanban, and who doesn't have a few countries in their hands.
If so, the matter is settled. The weight of Matsuura Zhenshin was not enough to shake the thoughts in Nabeshima Katsushige's heart.
When Tadayuki Kuroda arrived with 10,000 troops from the Fukuoka Domain and the Kurume Domain, Mitsusho Hosokawa and Yukitaka Hosokawa also led the troops of the Kumamoto Domain, and the troops of the Saga Domain had been arriving for many days.
Inside and outside Nagasaki, the two armies sat still, and Zheng Zhilong gave the Japanese half a month to mobilize their troops. Although Nagasaki has not lifted the ban, the atmosphere of tension in the city has long since ceased to exist.
That is, the Chinese businessmen and overseas Chinese living here are very nervous, if Zheng Zhilong loses this battle, will they also have to retreat?
Although Zheng Zhilong only engaged in the trading houses of the Nabeshima family and the Tokugawa family before, who knows if when the Japanese retaliate, they will wipe out the Tang people without asking?
So much so that in this short period of time, the market of incense candles in the Tang Pavilion has risen significantly.
"Hey, the guy on the other side is riding a horse or a mule. So short, and not afraid to lie down? How dare you ride. ”
The Japanese army on the opposite side was at the mercy of the battle, and Zheng Zhilong sat on the back of the black tiger's horse, looking down at the children on the opposite side. Hehe smiled and complained to Matsuura Zhenxin next to him, regardless of whether people's faces were good-looking or not.
"Come on, go and ask if the battle on the other side is at the mercy of you? How long will it take. After the battle, Benhou is still waiting to go back to eat. ”
The sun above his head has already risen three poles, and at this time, it is ten o'clock to say less, Zheng Zhilong is too contemptuous of people when he speaks. Matsuura Zhenxin next to him directly swung his face in the opposite direction, making it look like Lao Tzu didn't talk to you.
And Nabeshima Katsushige on the opposite side also had an iron blue face. Before the war, Songpu Zhenxin had already sent him information, Zheng Zhilong did not remove the artillery from the warship, and the artillery of the Zheng army was about fifty.
Nabeshima Katsushige was very happy to hear it, Zheng Zhilong's arrogance is really boundless, how can he forget an old saying of the Chinese - arrogant soldiers will be defeated?
But he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be so arrogant. really played "arrogance" with a new trick.
Go back to dinner after the war?
Nabeshima Katsushige looked up at the sun, what is this? Is there a noon version of this pilgrimage eclipse?
"Arrogance, really too arrogant." Kuroda Tadayuki's face flushed. Before he led the troops to arrive, he heard about Zheng Zhilong's arrogance, before Zheng Zhilong sent someone to make an appointment for battle, the time was set by Japan, but it was quick, because he didn't want to delay here for too long. Kuroda Tadayuki understood Zheng Zhilong's arrogance at that time, but he didn't expect that this was all on the battlefield, and Zheng Zhilong's arrogance not only did not decrease by half a point, but rose higher.
Just like Katsushige Nabeshima, he was also shown off.
The horn sounded "Woo woo woo ......" in the positions of the two armies, Zheng Zhilong's face was still full of indifference, and he said to the Songpu Zhenxin rising on the side: "Songpu Jun wait here to see how I defeat the opposing feudal army." ”
Then he clamped the war horse in his crotch, and the panther immediately rushed out like an arrow. That kind of explosiveness, as well as the tall size, coupled with the satin-like shimmering fur in the sun, Matsuura Zhenshin was also stunned. It's a real BMW.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng—"
When Zheng Zhilong crossed the front of the formation, the soldiers of the Zheng army raised their weapons one after another along the way, and shouted loudly.
They are grateful to Zheng Zhilong from the bottom of their hearts and support Zheng Zhilong from the bottom of their hearts. It was Zheng Zhilong who freed them from abject poverty, so that they and their wives, children, and relatives would no longer have to live that kind of hard life without food and clothing.
For this alone, they are willing to die for Zheng Zhilong. Because they are convinced that even if they die, their families will still be able to live a good life with enough food and clothing.
"Our army is mighty, our army is victorious—"
Zheng Jun's morale was high.
"Pass the order, attack—" Zheng Zhilong stood on horseback, drew his saber, and slashed at the opposing military formation.
Flat Push!
This battle doesn't need to take any brains at all, everyone has not prepared fortifications, this is a real flat field battle, then, just push all the way.
