The very beautiful woman Shimazu Naiji in the mouth of Baoke Zhenghui has appeared in front of Zhu Cihuan, riding on a tall and strong Iberian horse, wearing a neat kendo uniform, although she is a little small, but her mind is quite big, bulging, Zhu Cihuan likes it when she looks at it.

And Shimazu Nokichi also fell in love with Zhu Cihuan who rode out alone and talked to him in front of the battle at this time. Although Zhu Cihuan is a bit of a straw bag, his appearance is still very pleasing to girls, tall, straight, handsome, and a rather thick beard - this is the standard in the 17th century beautiful male world!

This is Lang is affectionate, the concubine is intentional, and she can hook up and commit adultery at a glance!

It's a pity that what will be held today at Honjoji Temple is not a blind date meeting, but a battle of life. Now the people on both sides have put on a posture!

The Shimazu family sent 1,200 troops, of which 1,000 were flintlock pikemen and 200 were samurai on horseback. Now 500 paces to the north of the temple, a flintlock musketeer is in the center, and the samurai on horseback cover the formation on both wings, blocking the passage from the temple to the flood valley.

And Zhu Cihuan sent 1,800 troops, half of them pikemen and half of them arquebusiers, forming a standard Morris phalanx formation.

Although there were 600 more people on Zhu Cihuan's side, because there were no flintlock pistols and cavalry, he was obviously at a disadvantage. However, they also have the advantage, that is, they are backed by the Honxun Temple to set up a formation, and when the situation is unfavorable, they can also retreat and hold on.

After the two sides were set apart, there was no immediate war. Zhu Cihuan is not sure what the Shimazu family wants to do? 1,200 people are not enough to fight this temple! And they didn't carry cannons (the Shimazu family didn't have cannons), so how could they attack such a strong Honshoji Temple?

On the side of the Shimazu family, the head of the family, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, did not appear, but was led by Mitsuhisa's daughter Shimazu Noyoshi. And after Shimazu Naiji asked his subordinates to swing away, he did not attack, but asked to talk to the Ming prince in front of the battle.

"His Royal Highness the Great King, the concubine Shimazu Noyoshi, today is the generation of my father, the prince of Guangjiu."

Shimazu Naiji was quite active, and without waiting for Zhu Cihuan to speak, she introduced herself first, and she could speak fluent Chinese.

"You're a Jindai?" Zhu Cihuan was stunned, "What's wrong with Guangjiu?" Why not come yourself? ”

Shimazu Nokichi smiled very apologetically: "My father was very worried because the prime minister of New Spain suddenly led a large army to arrive, so it was difficult to get sick, so he had to go out on his behalf as a concubine, and I ask His Royal Highness for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Cihuan was still admiring the beautiful girl in the kendo uniform just now, but now he was frightened, "What? The Prime Minister of New Spain is coming with a large army? ”

"Hay!" Shimazu Naichi owed, "I'm really sorry that the little girl couldn't surrender to the king according to the previous agreement...... I can only meet the king! ”

"You, do you know that I have a million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Cihuan shouted.

"Of course I know," Shimazu Nakichi laughed, "but in the Americas, the Kingdom of New Spain can send tens of thousands of troops at any time, and the king has only 2,000 men at hand...... So the little woman could only hand over the women and children in Satsuma City to the Spaniards hostage, and personally lead the warriors to stop the king from escaping north, which is really sorry! ”

Zhu Cihuan gritted his teeth, "Do you think there are really only 2,000 people in this king?" This king still has a backup...... General Qi Da, the admiral of the American Army, led 30,000 troops and followed behind this king! As soon as General Qi's men arrive, you will be wiped out!" ”

He's scaring the little girl!

But Shimazu Naichi didn't eat this at all, just giggled: "If General Qi really brought 30,000 troops, then the little woman will definitely go to the king to take the blame and let the king deal with it!" ”

Zhu Cihuan was speechless for a while. He wants to catch Shimazu Nayoshi and clean it up, but where does he have 30,000 backups? There are only 20,000 Americans, and they are not following him! More than 800 miles of mountain roads! It's impossible to follow...... In the end, 2,000 people have to rely on hunting and fishing to fill their bellies, what will 20,000 people do? How many wild animals do you have to catch to eat? Where are there so many?

Seeing that Zhu Cihuan had nothing to say, Shimazu Naiji also sighed lightly and said, "There are 3,000 stone rice in the Honxun Temple, and there are a lot of cured meat. There are also wells in the temple for easy access to water, enough to supply 2,000 defenders. Rice, cured meat, and well water are not poisoned, so they can be eaten with confidence.

So please go back to the cage city! If the king wanted to send someone for help, the little woman would not stop him...... If the king wants to break through, then please stop this thought!

Because if the king's men and horses don't bring enough dry food, they won't be enough to walk more than 800 miles of mountain roads! Moreover, the Spaniards had already arrived, and if they pursued them all the way, the king would probably die in the northern mountains. ”

After saying this, Shimazu Nokichi owed himself again, so he turned around and walked away, leaving only Zhu Cihuan stunned and immediately there.

"Woo Woo ......"

Before Zhu Cihuan could recover from it, the Shimazu family's flintlock pistol fired! Of course, it can't hurt Zhu Cihuan...... After more than 300 steps, the gun was still fired towards the sky.

The Shimazu family is now a knife cut tofu on both sides, and on the one hand, they are acting as lackeys for the Spaniards, pit Zhu Cihuan, a stupid prince; On the other hand, there is also a way out...... What if the prince is pretending to be stupid?

So Shimazu Mitsuhisa pretended to be sick and didn't show up, and Shimazu Nayoshi came out.

......

"Your Excellency Duke, the Benxun Temple has already started!"

It was De Bellasco who spoke, and he was better than Don. Huang. José first went to the vicinity of the city of Satsuma Valley, where he was joined by 4,000 mercenaries from the New Spanish Army. These mercenaries are based in California and are part of the "Lobster of New Spain". They had now been mixed with the more than 2,000 flintlock musketeers sent from Satsuma Valley into 12 flintlock battalions, each consisting of two flintlock companies and two heavy arquebus companies. Three flintlock platoons in the flintlock company were made up of Japanese samurai from the Shimazu family, and one company of pikemen was made up of mercenaries from New Spain.

De Belasco originally wanted to form 20 "lobster battalions", but the Kingdom of Spain now has to do everything at a discount of 50% and 6%, so it would be nice to be able to make 12 battalions.

In addition, this method of organizing the "lobster battalion" has now become the standard configuration of the new Spanish army.

Tang Dynasty. Huang. The 15,000 troops that José brought from Mexico were basically the same configuration, except for a small number of artillery, cavalry and baggage, which was 26 "lobster battalions", plus 12 battalions of de Bellasco, for a total of 38 battalions. Two of the battalions were taken by the Don. Huang. José was sent to Satsuma Valley Castle, and the remaining 36 battalions were organized into nine temporary infantry regiments, which are now on standby on the south bank of the Satsuma River.

"Garcia, you lead a temporary infantry regiment to guard the south bank of the Satsuma River, and at the same time guard the grain transported from the city of Satsuma Valley." Tang Dynasty. Huang. José began to give orders, "Governor de Berasco, you lead two temporary infantry regiments and artillery to besiege Honjoji Temple, and the Shimazu Army that has arrived at Honshoji Temple is also under your command.

The rest of the ministries ...... Follow me to the Flood Valley! We are waiting there for the exhausted follow-up troops of the Ming army! ”

"Duke," de Bellasco interjected, "and no follow-up troops of the Ming army have been found. ”

Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose smiled, "You'll find out!" As long as our enemies are not stupid, we will definitely send elite troops to follow behind His Royal Highness...... What an opportunity to take over all of California in one fell swoop! How could they possibly give up? ”

This is King Philip's smartest son, and he has long thought of all possibilities. Of course, I also thought of the possibility that the elite soldiers of the Ming army would follow Zhu Cihuan into the Satsuma Valley in order to completely control the Shimazu family.

The food accumulated by the Shimazu family was extremely important to the Ming army who came through a large area of mountainous terrain. As long as they have this food, they can put more than 20,000 troops in California, and then the whole of California will probably fall into the hands of the United States of New Continent!

The Duke of Florida smiled and said, "They will definitely come!" As long as we eliminate them, we will have the possibility of going north to occupy the Gulf of the Americas, and I heard that the development there is very good! ”
