The 200,000 Shikoku militia who came to attack the landing soldiers of the third prince were defeated, and the Shinru army took Ehime Prefecture, and at the same time joined forces with the troops of the third prince at the border of Kagawa Prefecture, while the other army of the third prince took advantage of the situation to join Feng Quan's Xinlu army and attacked all the way, and soon advanced to Kochi Prefecture, where the 260,000 troops of Kochi Prefecture broke and fled to Denios Island Prefecture to stabilize their position.

At this point, the four countries had lost half of their territory and had 200,000 soldiers and horses left.

The 200,000 troops were completely demoralized, trembling and distributed near Kagawa County and Denis Niozi County, which means that in addition to the land in the south of the county, the land in the north is completely undefended, and the army of Xinlu Prefecture and the soldiers and horses of the third prince fully control most of Shikoku Island.

There are only 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses in Kagawa County, and they are also soldiers and horses gathered by defeated soldiers.

The second prince left Kagawa County with the little prince on the same day, rushed back to the county seat of Denios Island with his own personal guards, gathered troops, calmed the people, and planned how to attack the ships of the Dutch and British who had gathered at the docks in the inner bay of Denios Island, seize the ships, and then retreat with his cronies, soldiers and families.

Prime Minister Yan was depressed in Kagawa County, because this time the second prince did not mention that he wanted him to follow, nor did he say that he should give up Kagawa County, and the little prince did not propose to take him to Nanyang, this did not explain, there was no instruction, what is it, what should I do?

Prime Minister Yan walked around with his hands behind his back, and there were only his family members and guards around him, and two thousand soldiers and horses could not even defend the city, if it was the era of cold weapons, then he could still guard this small county town of the Japanese, but now it is the era of cannons and muskets, and this kind of small county town made by the Japanese is not even a soil fort in the Ming Dynasty, at most it is a big landlord's house.

There are only a few hundred wealthy people in the city, there are only more than 1,000 middle-level squires with some family wealth, and there are only more than 2,000 people, and more than 1,000 people are bitter people around the county town begging for food, and the surrounding villages and towns are all villages and towns of the Japanese people, and the largest villages and towns are only 2,000 people, and further away a town with 500 people is considered a lot, and a village with 200 people is considered a big village.

If you position Kagawa County, it is at most a poor small county town in Guangzhou, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, and you can't see the appearance of wealth at a glance.

At present, there are more than 3,000 Han people, and there are nearly 7,000 Han people, soldiers, and officials in the countryside, but the Japanese have 800,000 people, and now there are certainly not 800,000 people.

According to the figures reported by the officials below, about 200,000 Japanese people fled to Kobe, Osaka and other places on the opposite side, and fled back to the territory of the Japanese, and more than 10,000 of the 30,000 or 40,000 militiamen who fled back also fled, and he estimated that the actual Japanese people only existed 400,000, and 200,000 people fled to the side of De Nios Island.

The key is that he can't master the soldiers and horses, which makes people very anxious, a little soldiers and horses can resist by themselves, and then see what the second prince says, but now there are only 2,000 family members and generals, as well as nearly 10,000 Han people, officials, what should he do?

The family ran in in a panic, "Master, master, the Xinlu army is coming, the Xinlu army is coming, those Japanese slaves, those Japanese slaves have thrown down their guns." Thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses were scattered. Now the people in the county town are unstable, the soldiers are very panicked, and there are still many people who want to see the master, they want to take us Han people outside the city back, and ask the master to send troops. ”

"Panic, panic, panic, what's the panic, I'm not dead yet, go, send someone to stabilize the soldiers and horses in the county, you must not mess up, and have you packed up your things?" Prime Minister Yan was also panicked, but he knew that he couldn't show a panicked appearance now, but had to stabilize, otherwise these 10,000 Han people and his 2,000 family members would die without a place to be buried, and there were Japanese everywhere, who knows which crazy samurai would do something in the future when there was no hope. The best thing to do is to stabilize the city and then find a way to get out.

But where to go?

Shikoku Island is a small island, can he escape without a boat?

Judging from the current situation, he was once again abandoned by the Hong family's father and son.

Prime Minister Yan has a headache, what should I do, he doesn't want to die.

The master next to him carefully observed his words, he knew his master's inner activities very well, because this was a very obvious thing, they all knew the current situation of Prime Minister Yan, and they could guess it with a little brain.

The master said cautiously: "Otherwise, the prime minister, how can we take refuge in the third prince." ”

The master's words made Prime Minister Yan Cheng's aura flash suddenly, but it was not to take refuge in the third prince, but to take refuge in the Huaxia Kingdom, and it can only be like this at present, if he catches the second prince, doesn't he have a certificate of nomination?

He doesn't want to follow the Hong family's father and son, it's too unsafe, he always thinks about running away by himself, he doesn't want to do this, His Majesty Zhang Qiang of the Huaxia Kingdom is very promised, although this person is too murderous, anyone who is not a Han person, or someone who thinks about the former Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty in his mind can't integrate into his eyes, not the Han nationality, and the Chinese can't become friends or people of the Huaxia Kingdom, but he is still very sensible, how can he be regarded as a defector, or the prime minister of the four countries, if he wants to surrender, at least he will not be killed, Less jail time.

It's not bad to find a stable place to retire.

He waved his hand to let everyone else out, walked to the side of the bookcase, splashed ink, and soon a letter was written, blew it, and when the ink dried, he shouted too much to a family confidant, "Take this letter, go to Lord Feng, you must hand it over to him in person, give you fifty people, even if you die, you have to give me the letter to Lord Feng, you know?" I will take care of your family, as long as I don't die, they won't die, and they won't suffer in the future, go ahead. ”

When he was gone, he sat and waited, waiting for the situation to develop.

Soon after, the master walked in, "Master, it's very strange, the army of Xinlu Mansion and the army of the third prince did not continue to cross the border to attack us, nor did they attack the second prince, I don't know what they are doing, I have sent someone to investigate, you see if you take this opportunity to meet with the second prince, master, you have also been born and died for the second prince this year, there is no merit and hard work, for the sake of this, he will definitely leave with us, but those families and their families are estimated to be ——。 ”

Prime Minister Yan shook his head, "If you have a better way, just find a way to go yourself, I won't go, I can't escape, I know the virtue of the Hong family's father and son, and they will never take me." ”
