In the past year, Zheng He has figured out the situation on Shikoku Island. The entire island of Shikoku has a population of less than 50,000 people, and most of them are scattered along the sea, rivers and mountains, and they make a living from fishing and hunting. Mineral resources are extremely scarce.

So this time the strategy is mainly to plunder the population. Minimize casualties.

The island of Shikoku is mostly mountainous, and the Shikoku Mountains divide Tosa, Iyo, and Awa.

In Shikoku, there are few plains, and mountains make up about 80% of the total area.

After Taishi Ci and the others disembarked, the first thing they boarded was the land of Iyobu.

Surrounded by a few small villages by the sea. The villagers inside were frightened, and some old men dared to ask what was going on.

Zheng He's Eight Banner Army preached with them that the God of Thunder had descended to earth and summoned them to become the servants of the God of Thunder.

Before the old people in the village could speak, some young stunned youths immediately refused. They live freely by the sea, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they don't want to be other people's slaves at all.

The Liaodong Navy under Tai Shici did not act, and it was the Eight Banner Army that acted.

They surrounded them and beat up the young men in the village. Beat them to cry dad and call mother.

Zheng He had already considered various situations in advance, and the staff officers of the navy had also discussed various methods of targeting.

In the case of small villages, the solution is to mob them.

The Eight Banners soldiers did not use weapons, but purely used fists and feet, and the four soldiers fought around a young and middle-aged fisherman, fists to the flesh. None of the young men in the village spared, and each of them had several soldiers beating him.

In the end, the old people and women in the village knelt down and begged bitterly before they stopped.

There are probably more than 500 people who live in several small villages within 10 miles, including the elderly and children.

The Eight Banners Army sent 200 soldiers to escort them onto ships and go outside the city of Kyushu. A large camp of prisoners had been built there, and a large number of Japanese officers were waiting to brainwash and rehabilitate these new captives and assign them to work.

In this way, a group was captured, a group was sent away, and the army of Kyushu Island began to sweep through the historical process of Shikoku Island.

In the Iyo Division, there are two larger tribes, the Nishizono Clan and the Kono Clan, each with more than 6,000 people. It's more troublesome to deal with them, and you have to use knives and guns.

"Let me try it first" Zuo Ci has the image of a master in the world.

Zuo Ci conjured a hundred-zhang tall full-body statue of Gongsun Kang in the air, mighty and majestic, and said in a voice like thunder: "It is your honor for this thunder god to come and accept you as slaves, why don't you surrender quickly?" ”

The ordinary people of the Nishizono clan and the Kono clan were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, praying to the gods to calm their anger. The nobles of the second division and their cronies took the plunge and beat the tribal people to make them rise up against the army on Kyushu Island.

When the Eight Banners saw the statue of Thor in the air, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they couldn't wait to die for God immediately.

The military heart is available, Zheng He waved his hand, "Go!" Those who resist will not be spared! ”

The Eight Banners Army clenched their broadswords and spears and rushed towards the second division without hesitation.

On the contrary, the Liaodong navy fell behind, and they simply scattered and went around, so that no enemy would escape.

On the one hand, the people of the tribe are sincerely afraid and have no desire to fight; On the one hand, the Eight Banners Army is enthusiastic and brave to take the lead. The battle started in a one-sided stance.

Everywhere the Eight Banners Army went, ordinary tribesmen threw away the wooden sticks and stone axes in their hands, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move again; The nobles and cronies were slashed with broadswords at the slightest resistance. The organic spirits resisted for a while and then quickly surrendered, but it was too late.

Zheng He was ruthless and had an order. In this case, all the resistors are killed, and no one is left! Shock ordinary tribesmen with blood!

The Eight Banners Army also acted mercilessly, this is all a battle record, and it depends on who kills more people when they are promoted to become rich in the future.

In this way, in five days, the Liaodong Army and the Eight Banners Army cleared the territory of the Iyobu and drove to the Tosa Department.

There is a large tribe in Tosa that is the Chozong Ibu, and according to rumors, the Chomune Ibu on this Shikoku Island is the Qin Shi Huang Dynasty, and may be a little close.

At this time, there were many Tosa clans, and the families of Motoyama, Aki, Chomune Ibu, Nakamura, and Ijojo fought with each other, until they were later called "Tosa Izuto" (Tosa's capable people), and Nagamune Ibe Motomi succeeded to the governor, and began to unify Tosa, and then began to unify Shikoku, and later Toyotomi Hideyoshi got the world, and Nagasune Ibu Motomi also surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The statement of the Qin Shi Huang Dynasty may be true, because Tosabe actually built a city wall, which is a very simple model of earthen walls and wooden fences.

Of course, this kind of wall did not have any effect on the Liaodong Navy. They threw ropes far away, lassoed a row of wooden fences, and more than 10 people pulled them down with all their strength.

There were many fierce hunters in Tosabe, and they used homemade wooden bows and arrows to shoot at the Uhachi Banner Army.

The arrows of the bow and arrow are mostly made of wolf teeth, so they are not very lethal. Even if the Eight Banners Army is hit by several arrows, they can still fight endlessly.

This time, the Liaodong Navy struck. The hard iron armor of the Liaodong Army was impossible for the Tosabe soldiers to break through, and even their best iron weapons could not cut through the armor of the Liaodong Navy.

Therefore, as soon as the Liaodong Army came on the field, it was a one-sided massacre. They don't understand the Tosa dialect, and even if the Tosa soldiers surrender, they will kill them!

The largest tribe on the island of Shikoku, Tosabe, with more than 10,000 people, was dismantled.

By the time Zheng He gave the order to stop, the brave Tosa hunters had killed more than 3,000 people, but only 2,000 were injured, which was less than the number of deaths. It can be seen that the aggressor is ruthless and inhumane.

Most of the remaining Tosa tribesmen were old and weak, women and children, and the battle of young and middle-aged people was consumed.

In this battle, with the propaganda of the Tosa tribesmen who escaped, the Liaodong Army and the Japanese people of Kyushu Island were regarded as flood beasts and known as the Demon Army. This notoriety spread to the island of Honshu.

After the war, the spoils of war were confiscated, and a lot of bronze ware of the Qin Dynasty style and a small amount of gold and silver ware were found in Tosabe. It seems that the ancestors of Tosabe really came to Wajima for refuge in the last years of the Qin Dynasty.

After this tough battle, there was an advantage: the attack of the remaining Awa and Sanuki countries was extremely smooth.

Apod Island is the territory of the Beesuka family, and there is also a large tribe called the Miyoshi clan. The high-ranking nobles of these two tribes packed up their gold and silver and ran to Honshu Island overnight.

The rest of the high-level non-descendants, and Zheng He did not embarrass them. All of them were packed and transported to the Kyushu prisoner camp without discrimination.

If you don't resist, there will be no harm, and neither the Liaodong Army nor the Eight Banners Army are armies that take pleasure in killing people.

Sanuki Province was the closest to Honshu Island, so the Kagawa clan and the Tokawa clan, the leaders of two large clans, even took most of their clansmen and took refuge on Honshu Island.

Zhou Island is the largest island of the Japanese people, with hundreds of countries on it, more than 10 countries with more than 30,000 people, and a total population of nearly 1 million.

But this is not the target of this attack. Zheng He and Tai Shici strictly followed Gongsun Kang's plan and did not go to Honshu Island to pursue.

In the end, Zuo Ci conjured a thousand-foot-tall full-body statue of Gongsun Kang in the air and called it a day.

When Tai Shici and Zheng He worked hard for more than a month to capture more than 40,000 residents of Shikoku Island back to the prisoner camp outside Kyushu City, Gongsun Kang came back from the hot springs.

Looking at this guy's complexion, this guy has been very moisturized and relaxed for a month; What a pleasant holiday.
