After the castle tower was bombed, the entire building collapsed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Lee Sik also doesn't know if Nagasaki Governor Baba Toshishige was killed by the bombing, but the morale of the soldiers in the castle was obviously hit hard. Li Zhi saw the soldiers guarding the shooting holes on the city wall stir, and they all turned to look at the castle tower. The arquebuses that had been pulled back from the firing holes had not been raised again for a long time.

Obviously, the Japanese "iron gunners" were already a little confused in their surprise.

However, to Li Zhi's slight surprise, the soldiers in the castle saw the power of the artillery on their side, but did not surrender.

The Japanese soldiers were quite tough.

Li Zhi's invasion of Japan was the first time in several hundred years that Japan was invaded by a "foreign enemy". The Japanese soldiers on the city walls seemed ready to fight to the end.

Li Zhi commanded the artillery and began to bombard the walls of the castle. Although the armor-piercing ability of the flowering bullet is not as good as that of the solid bullet, it is more than enough to smash the thin layer of wall outside the castle of this "commission". Fifty cannons aimed at the city wall a mile away and began firing one after the other.

The morale of the Japanese soldiers was good, but their weapons were simply too backward. Although they had a lot of arquebuses, there were almost no artillery. If you face the Ming army or the Qing army, the Japanese army, which has a large number of arquebuses, can probably be regarded as a strong enemy. But in the face of the Tiger Division, which had a large number of artillery, they could only be beaten passively.

The flowering bomb slammed into the outer walls of the castle, shattering the walls and then exploding inside the castle. The iron projectiles from the flowering bullets rained down on the castle's interior, bloodied the flesh and blood.

The outer wall of the castle is no more than 200 meters long and more than 100 meters wide. Fifty cannons is not much, but it is terrifying for such a small castle. Li Zhi let the cannon fire for four hours, firing almost 2,000 rounds of flowering shells at the small castle, killing I don't know how many people in the castle.

According to Li Zhi's estimates, even if a single shell killed only one person, 2,000 people would have died in the castle.

The walls on the west side of the castle have been completely blown up, and you can see the samurai mansion inside the castle from Li Zhi's angle. After a morning of bombardment, the houses were blown to pieces and many of them burst into flames.

The only defensive features of the castle were the moats and ridges. The Japanese soldiers, who had seen the power of the flowering bullets, lay on the ridge and held on to their last posts tremblingly.

Every round of flowering catapults into a small castle will cause huge casualties. Li Zhi could see clearly with a telescope that the soldiers in the castle were lying on the ground. Each time a soldier was killed, the other soldiers got up and carried the dead to a special area where the dead were kept.

In the area where the corpses were kept, there were thousands of corpses.

It was a completely one-sided battle, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a massacre. The Japanese soldiers in the castle could do nothing but be bombed and killed. They insisted on not surrendering, not so much fighting with Li Zhi, but with the willpower in their hearts.

After all, this was the first time in hundreds of years that Japan had been invaded by a foreign enemy. Even Kublai Khan's three expeditions to Japan were defeated by the "kamikaze". The Japanese were reluctant to hand their country into the hands of a colonizer, Li Zhi.

But Li Zhi has already appeared in this era, and it is not the Japanese soldiers who would rather die than give in to change the wheels of the times.

Finally, when Li Zhi's cannon was about to start the fifth phase of the bombardment, the soldiers inside the castle collapsed. Even the belief in fighting for the country could not support such casualties, and all the soldiers in the castle laid down their arms and surrendered.

Li Zhi asked Zhong Feng to bring a thousand men into the city, collect the weapons and armor of the Japanese soldiers, and tie their hands.

Baba Toshishige was also arrested, and his condition was very bad. He had his right leg crushed by a wooden beam when the castle tower collapsed, and he looked half-dead. Li Zhi asked the medical team to treat the wounds of the high-ranking Tokugawa shogunate official and ensure that he would be transported to Hirado alive so that he could be shot.

When Li Zhi walked into the castle of the commission, he learned that more than 2,600 of the 4,000 Japanese soldiers had been killed. The castle was littered with the blood of the dead, and the smell of blood was so thick that it was like a slaughterhouse.

On the eighth day of the first month of November, in the middle of Hirado Port Castle, Baba Toshishige was tied up and pressed to the execution ground by the Great Flower Flower. The merchants of Hirado Castle were all gathered next to the execution ground, surrounded by three floors and three floors outside, to witness the execution of the Nagasaki government of the Tokugawa shogunate by Li Zhi.

After ending everything that happened in Nagasaki, the owner of Hirado Castle, the lord of the Hirado Domain, did not have the courage to stand up to Li Zhi. If the Hirado clan rebelled against Li Zhi at this time, it is estimated that he would be beaten to pieces by Li Zhi like Nagasaki.

Anyway, Li Zhi didn't occupy Hirado's territory, but he just executed Baba Toshige in Hirado Castle, and the lord of the Hirado domain pretended not to know.

Around the execution ground, the onlookers of the Japanese merchants were a little conflicted. They hated the Baba Toshishige, a Nagasaki cruel and barbaric man, and went on a killing spree in Hirado overnight, killing many merchants who were unwilling to hand over the Li family's fine cloth. After a rough count of the citizens of Hirado, they knew that Baba Toshishige had killed more than 100 people that night.

How can there be no hatred under such killing?

The trade on which the merchants depended was banned, and the fine cloth was reburned by the horse farm, and many merchants became destitute, and even their livelihood was in trouble. The merchants hated to kill Baba and eat his flesh.

However, on the other hand, they don't want to see a Ming person come forward and kill the horse farm.

After all, this is Japan, a place where the "Japanese nation" has multiplied for generations. A Ming prince to preside over justice, doesn't it mean that the northwest of Kyushu Island has been conquered by the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses?

The Hirado merchants who witnessed the execution were full of contradictions, and looked at the horse farm Toshige kneeling on the execution ground with some blankness, and remained silent.

Zheng Kaida walked up to Baba Lizhong, slapped him twice on the face, and said, "Baba-kun, something you can't believe has happened, the Ming Dynasty's Jinguo Gong has come to Japan!" ”

Maba Lizhong was slapped twice by Zheng Kaida, and his face turned pale. He looked at Zheng Kaida with great flamboyance, and said loudly: "Don't be complacent, the 200,000 army of the shogunate will soon attack!" If you kill me, the general will not let you go. ”

Hearing the translator's translation, Zheng Kaida laughed, patted Baba Lizhong's face again, and said with a smile: "Baba-kun, you disappointed me so much, I originally thought that you would definitely be disemboweled!" ”

Hearing this, Baba Toshishishige's eyes widened, and finally suddenly his eyes closed and he lowered his head in shame.

As a samurai, Baba Toshishige didn't have the guts to commit suicide and fell behind.

Li Zhi looked at the audience with contradictory expressions and waved his hand. A Tiger Soldier armed with a rifle stepped up, aimed at the back of the head of the horse farm, and pressed the trigger.

With a snap, blood splattered, and Ma Chang Lizhong fell forward and fell on the execution ground.

The Japanese merchants who were onlookers suddenly became noisy and shouted "Ah! "Ahh , looking at the corpse of Toshige Baba with wide eyes.

Li Zhi smiled and said loudly: "Friends and businessmen of Fanjiazhuang, don't worry, I, Li Zhi, will not let you suffer!" I will definitely fight until the shogun is convinced, and until the shogun compensates you for your losses and reopens the trade of the Li family's fine cloth! ”
