Chapter 245. Atmosphere

The first person to travel around the world was Napoleon, the first person to travel around Wajima, it should be Mao Jue, after all, Hokkaido was still a barren country in these years, the nobles of Kyoto were lazily nesting at home to worship Buddha, and the shogunate samurai did not have that mood, and he had never seen other ships from Beibu Bay, and from Edo Bay, he went south, bypassing Shikoku Island, and finally ran back to Kyushu.

On the one hand, his fleet is warships, and the transport ships are all in the hands of Li Shanhai, and he can't take much away if he robs it, on the other hand, he also has a goal of dividing in the Wa Kingdom, no longer the Viking mode of grabbing and leaving, but the Viking conquest mode of fighting the world, so Amakusa Shizhen is still useful.

After all, it was a rebel army organized temporarily, and in the face of the elite 120,000 shogunate army with the Shimazu family, the samurai group of the Nabeshima family, at the beginning, Shimahara Ichikazu had disappeared completely, not to mention that the momentum was not good, and the Tokai pirates turned around and left, and made matters worse, and suffered several defeats in a row, and finally the rebels were blocked back to Shimabara Castle.

The war was really terrible, the cross battle flag at the head of the city was burned out of two holes, the low city wall had been burned once, and it was completely devastated by iron cannons, and the corpses above and under the city had accumulated a thick layer.

However, in the historical Shimabara Rebellion, instead of being supported, the Catholic Portuguese of Nagasaki Castle, whom Amakusa Shiro relied on, also sent warships to bombard Shimabara Castle, cutting off the hope of the believers of Kiritan, but in this time and space, Amakusa Tokisada has a strong ally.

Sixty sail battleships appeared outside Shimabara Castle, which was an absolute shock to these unseen shogunate troops, and many samurai watched in amazement as the behemoth slowly appeared in their eyes.

The Shimazu family, who had seen the terrifying firepower, the samurai of the Nabeshima family was smeared with oil on the soles of their feet, and they retreated directly, seeing that there was an extra hole in the encirclement, and the rebels wanted to run, and the angry Tokugawa Sokei overseer army came up and insisted on plugging the hole.

It's a pity that he doesn't know this theorem, on the seaside, today's Mao Jue is invincible. Tokugawa Sokei was indeed prepared, more than 200 large cylinders were set in front, and four bow and arrow phalanxes shot a spectacular rain of arrows into the sea, and then, in the amazement of the officers of the Mao family in Tieyi Town, more than 1,000 cannons fired.

Mao Jue didn't know how many shogunate troops were killed by artillery fire, anyway, the next day, Tokugawa Sokei never launched a decent attack again, and the 100,000 Japanese people watched as the remnants of less than 20,000, including the old and weak, women and children, retreated to the sea, and then threw them an empty Shimabara castle.

However, saving people is rescued, these people Mao Jue did not plan to take them to the Dongjiang River, after all, he and Amakusa Shizhen are only allies, and the Catholic Chechi Dan samurai do not obey his orders, and Mao Jue is not interested in commanding them, and he can't raise 20,000 Japanese people in vain.

So the fleet went south again, not far from the Wa Kingdom.

Ryukyu!

At this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom had not yet been occupied by the Shimazu family, and it became the Okinawa island of the Wa Kingdom, and the lord of the country was still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he was still the kind that had not been able to pay tribute for many years.

However, after learning that Mao Jue was going to dump 20,000 Japanese people in the Ryukyus, the Ryukyu Shang King and his subordinate ministers were all dumbfounded, and the Ryukyu Kingdom had a population of less than 100,000, so he raised 20,000 Japanese traitors, and he could be attacked by the Japanese at any time.

But in a small country that even pirates are afraid of, Mao Jue didn't throw his face at all, didn't even give him a chance to refuse, threw 50,000 stone of rice, threw Amakusa Shizhen and them off the boat, turned around and left.

Don't look at the defeated soldiers, the brutal war also honed the combat effectiveness of the Shimabara rebels, thousands of Japanese samurai carrying Japanese swords and guns, and wearing bloody armor went there, and the Ryukyuan people obediently divided a piece of land to settle them.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Mao Jue, on April 15, Mao Jue, who had turned around a lot, returned to the Noto Peninsula.

At this time, Li Shanhai had already withdrawn his army with his left hand.

"Oh, General Xiaomao, all the way hard, all the way, the old man has been worried about the general for more than a month, and when he saw that the general was fine, the old man was very relieved!"

At this end, the fleet docked, Mao Jue had just disembarked, and the red-faced Li Shanhai was already an old chrysanthemum with a smile on his face, and he greeted him in person, that face was a world of difference from when Mao Jue invited him to fight in the Japanese Kingdom, just like before a hemorrhoid operation, after a hemorrhoid operation.

It's no wonder that this old guy is excited, look at this port, one by one the buckets are full of grain, and even rice is sprinkled out, although those cloth is not as valuable as silk, but in these years, clothes are not as full of avenues as in later generations, everyone has a big wardrobe, as long as it is cloth, it can be sold at a high price.

In addition, there are ukiyo-e, fans, boxes, screens, knives, armor, this time Mao Jue attracted most of the Kanto troops like a magnet, he fought in Edo, he grabbed it in the back, and the limit of the soldiers hit the vicinity of Kyoto, and the area of looting was as high as six or seven million stones if calculated according to the stone height of the Wa Kingdom.

In the last battle of Wanli Korea, the Japanese army under the command of Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not know how much wealth was swept away from Lee's Korea, this looting was not only as simple as harvesting, but also gave the old guy a sense of revenge, and it is no wonder that Li Shanhai's mouth was almost closed.

To tell the truth, Mao Jue was also startled when he got off the boat, this port was piled up, a bit of the feeling of the port where he was in the future, but when was he, a port radiated more than ten countries, radiating tens of millions of people in several provinces inland, and at this time, the population of the entire Daming Dynasty was only tens of millions.

"Master Li, how much have we robbed this ......!"

"General Xiaomao, how can you say robbing! We are crusading against thieves and taking ill-gotten gains for heaven!"

Not to mention, the old guy is quite thin-skinned, and he still wants to set up an archway when he is a bitch, but he can't suppress his joy at all, and after the blame, he can't help but stretch out three fingers.

"It's not done yet, what has been shipped is 2.2 million stone of grain and 2.7 million taels of silver."

"So much!"

Mao Jue couldn't help but gasp, this amount is enough for the total grain of Dongjiang for four or five years, although there is not so much silver, but more than two million taels of silver If Mao Jue earns it normally, it will take three years, and it is really fast.

"Then my account sharing in Dongjiang Town, Lord Li, are you ready?"

In the excitement, Mao Jue asked again, however, this made Li Shanhai, who was dancing with his hands, smile and freeze on his face, and it was really painful to take out the money, and the corners of the old guy's mouth twitched for a long time, and then he showed a strong smile.

"When ......, of course ......"

Not ready, of course! Facts have proved that this old guy is very happy, everything is transported to Jeolla Province in one go, and he didn't think about the Dongjiang River at all, and what is even more annoying is that Li Shanhai also requisitioned the people and transport ships left by Mao Jue to transport grain to the Li Dynasty, fortunately, there are too many loot brought back, and he can't transport them all back in a day or two, just let Mao Jue take the account book to intercept the flow.

"Wow, that's a lot of food!"

has been a pirate for half his life, and when he went to the sea warehouse with Mao Jue's warrant, this pirate girl Maori Sakura was simply stupid......
