Surrounded by the generals, Azig rode on his horse, and looked at the town in dire straits outside the town, his face was a little unsightly, and he said coldly: "Even in this broken town, it is estimated that there will not be much food to be found!" ”

"Master, the Japanese people have a very tight place to hide grain, although this town doesn't look very good, but maybe there will be a harvest!" One of his subordinate generals listened and hurriedly explained.

When Azig heard this, his face did not change, but he still seemed to be lucky, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Go to some more people, torture them, dig three feet into the ground, and dig out all the grain for the prince!" ”

When he was in Liaodong, Azig personally experienced the weakness of not having food. Now that we are fighting in the Wa Kingdom, we see that winter is coming, and food has become a big problem again. Therefore, whether it is him or others, they all attach great importance to food. As much food as you can, try your best to find as much food as you can.

"Wow!" When his men heard this, they immediately rushed into the town with another group of men.

After a while, he suddenly galloped out of the town, and when he arrived in front of Azig, he simply flew off his horse and knelt down and said, "Master, I surrounded a big fish, it seems that it is the daughter of a daimyo of the Japanese people, and it is said that it is to be dedicated to Natokugawa Iemitsu, and we have bumped into it!" ”

"What kind of big fish is this?" Azig frowned, and shouted coldly: "Bring it over and take a look!" ”

"Adult, let's go over and take a look?" The traitor who followed Azig heard this, and hurriedly said, "Beware of deceit! ”

Azig listened, a little impatient, and waved his hand in agreement. At this time, he was more concerned about food.

At this time, the town was already in flames, and the screams that had been screaming one after another were almost inaudible. Gangs of captives were driving chickens and ducks or something, or carrying some sacks on their backs, and kept coming out of the town.

Azig looked at this, his brow furrowed, it was clear that the harvest did not live up to his expectations.

Just when I was upset, another group of people returned.

"My lord, the villain went to see it, and the servant or something, it seems that it does look a little like it. I've heard of it too......" Before the traitor's words were finished, he heard Azig shout impatiently, "Prince Ben is not interested! ”

After saying this, he saw a woman thrown from a horse in front of Azig by a leader of the Jianyu, and at the same time said, "Master, this is it! ”

The Japanese were generally short, not to mention the women among them. Moreover, the aesthetic concepts of the Japanese and the Jianyu are a little different, and generally for the Jianyu, the women among the Japanese are really unsightly.

But when Azig saw the woman on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but light up. It's really that this woman seems to be different from other widows.

Not to mention that he is taller, and his face and figure are a little different from the Japanese people, but a little into the eyes of Azig. He naturally didn't know that the woman in front of him was naturally a little different from other people because she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child.

At this time, the widow fell to the ground, supported her upper body with both hands, looked at Azig with a panicked face, and said in a panic in unskilled Da Ming official words: "Help, little woman, ...... little woman"

Azig sat on his horse and looked down, just in time to see that the widow's clothes were loose and exposed, and she was still begging for mercy, and she had a kind of weakness. Listening to the words begging for mercy, he suddenly became interested, and seemed to be a little unconcerned about food, and immediately ordered: "Take it away!" ”

The horses' hooves rumbled, and the Jianyu iron riders rolled away, leaving behind only burnt white ground, uninhabited ruins.

On the mountain in the distance, some masked people surrounded Miyamoto Musashi, just quietly watching the movement below. It can be seen that there are obviously far fewer masked people than when they were in the dilapidated mountain temple.

When Miyamoto Musashi saw Umegawa Maruko being taken away by Kenyu, a smile finally appeared on his face. Ignoring whether there were any living people in the town below, he turned around and left.

At night, the camp was heavily guarded, and only the movement of eating and drinking came out in the direction of the big tent. In the back tent, under the light of the candle flame, a tall figure rushed towards a petite figure on the ground like a demon. Judging from the movement of the shadows, it seems that something is still being torn.

The guards on duty outside the camp saw this, and they all had a smile on their faces. It didn't take long for the sound they had imagined to sound.

But suddenly, there was a loud roar in the tent. The voice, like a cat being stepped on by its tail, abruptly rises, with anger and fear.

The captives outside the camp were Azig's personal guards, and when they heard this, they immediately couldn't care about it, and immediately broke into the camp.

I saw that in the tent, two men and women who were wearing nothing were fighting each other desperately, and blood was constantly coming out of the man's neck. But he still relied on the strength of his body, pressed the woman under him, and choked his neck. No matter how much blood was scratched on his body, there was no trace of letting go.

Azig's guards were so frightened that they rushed up to save their master, and trampled the woman to the ground without the slightest movement.

Two days later, in Hiroshima, Dolgon returned to Yamen after inspecting the granary, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Because of the lessons learned in Liaodong and North Korea before, he attached great importance to grain reserves. A long time ago, it was possible to plunder grain and grass. Now, it seems, the effort has not been in vain. At least the Qing army should not starve this winter.

However, Dolgon was only slightly relieved, he was no better than those brothers, and felt that everything would be fine if the Qing army did not starve. Relatively speaking, he still has a big picture. For now, the allies will definitely not have enough food!

"Alas, the Qing army that withdrew to the Wa Kingdom is still too small!" Dolgon let out a long sigh and said to himself, "The more places you take, the more scattered the Qing army will be, and it is not a way to go on like this!" ”

This is also something that cannot be helped, those allies can only defend the city at most, and the field battle still depends on the Qing army. In every city, there must be some Qing troops, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the cities conquered are considered Qing or someone else's. But in this way, the forces had to be dispersed.

With that in mind, Dorgon began to think about the Shikoku side. Duoduo is his brother of the same father and mother, who shares weal and bene, even if it is not for the sake of the 3,000 Qing army, he should think about how to take them out of the four countries.

But there is no water master, which is a difficult point. If only that sea could freeze in winter!

Thinking about this, Dolgon's heart was a little irritated.

At this time, he had already seen the essence of the ally. Basically, those allies were peasants, and they couldn't expect anything at all. The musket artillery that was originally expected was not seen, let alone the warship. The Spaniards didn't pass for two years in a row, and it was obvious that something was wrong, and it was estimated that they couldn't count on it.

Or, you can only learn from Huang Taiji and use the methods used in Liaodong.

Dolgon's previous style was actually very similar to Nurhachi's. Attack the Tokugawa shogunate, plunder all the materials under the Tokugawa shogunate, kill all the people under the Tokugawa shogunate, and try to weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself by all means.

Not to mention, this method is good in the short term, and the effect is just like the effect of Nurhachi in Liaodong back then.

But now that we've established ourselves on Honshu Island, it's time for a change of strategy.

Those who were allies could not move, but in the future, the Japanese people under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, men and women in the prime of life could no longer be killed, and they were plundered and used as coats, and those who performed well among them were promoted and woven into the Japanese army banner. Only in this way can the problem of insufficient numbers of the Great Qing Dynasty be alleviated to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Dorgon nodded, satisfied with this strategy. Before he could set up, however, he heard hurried footsteps outside, and then saw a guard with a messenger entering. Both of them had panicked faces on their faces.

"What's going on?" When Dolgon saw this, his heart couldn't help but sink, if it wasn't for a big thing, his subordinates would definitely not be like this.

The first thought in Dolgon's heart was that the Ming army had come over!

For him, the Ming army, who was worried about Korea, chasing after the Japanese state, was a sword hanging in his heart, and he was always on guard.

"Your Majesty, Prince Li has been assassinated, and his life is in danger!"

It's just such a sentence, although it is not the news that the Ming army is chasing, but it also makes Dolgon surprised, he immediately blushed, and asked sharply: "What's the matter, hasn't he been in the army all the time, how could he be assassinated?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the situation is like this." The messenger briefly recounted what had happened, and finally added, "These were all done by a Japanese man named Miyamoto Musashi and his apprentices, and they were so deliberate that they couldn't be prevented!" ”

Dolgon ignored this for the time being, and after probably asking about the situation, he immediately asked about Azig's situation.

For him, his greatest strength today is the two half-brothers of the same father and mother, Dordor and Azig. And now, with Duoduo trapped on the island of Shikoku, there is only Azig by his side.

The assassination of Azig will seriously affect his strength, especially in the past six months, Hauge seems to have become smarter and more prestigious, and he needs the support of more people among the Manchurians.

Without thinking much about it, he immediately made a simple arrangement, and then personally took the shaman around him to visit Azig.

After traveling day and night, it took about a day to reach Azig's camp. Fortunately, it came quickly, and Azig still had his last breath left. Seeing that Dolgon was coming in person, he was already dying, so he grabbed Dolgon's hand, grasped it tightly, and said with a face full of unwillingness: "Revenge...... Avenge...... Kill...... Kill all the Japanese ......"

Before he finished speaking, he screamed, stretched out his legs, let go of his hands, and ended his life of sin because of his lower body!

The generals of Azig's men surrounded by the tent were all full of anger, and they knelt down to Dolgon one after another, and pleaded with full anger: "Your Majesty, kill all the Japanese people!" ”

"Your Majesty, avenge Prince Li and kill all the widows!"

“……”

It can be said that killing all the Japanese is Azig's last wish, and it is also the collective appeal of these Manchu generals.

In the past, even in the war with the Ming State in Liaodong, there had never been such a high-level Manchu general assassinated. It's a shame for them!

Under the turmoil of the crowd, Dolgon did not hesitate, and immediately nodded and shouted: "I swear here, I will definitely avenge Prince Li!" ”

At this time, he immediately changed his strategy against the Japanese people.

The reason for this is not only to appease these subordinates, but also to give an account to the dead Azig and his men. And another main reason is that he learned that such things often happened in the wars of the Japanese people.

When they were fighting, they all kept some kind of samurai, what kind of chaos they called, and they specialized in these things of stealing chickens and dogs. With these people here, it is easy to have accidents when they are co-opted and co-opted.

The combination of these two factors made Dorgon determined to kill a wave of Japanese first. Anyway, he didn't say anything to death, he just wanted to avenge Azig, but he didn't kill all the Japanese people.

At this time, Dolgon naturally did not know that what he thought was the chaos of doing some stealing and stealing things would form a final name during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate, and it would continue to be mythologized in later generations, that is, the "ninja" that later generations called!

Among these ninjas, the earliest record is the so-called Prince Shotoku period of the Wa Kingdom, and the last record is the original history, that is, the Shimabara Rebellion that broke out the year after that, fighting for the Tokugawa shogunate to suppress the Catholic rebellion. Of course, these are no longer available on this plane.

Revenge, of course, is not just a slogan. The Tokugawa shogunate actually sent someone to assassinate Prince Rei of the Great Qing Dynasty, and such a thing had to be reacted to.

Dorgon immediately issued an order and immediately began to mobilize his troops.

In the Hauge barracks, when Dorgon's will arrived, he was discussing the military situation, and when he heard the news, he was stunned for a while. But he saw that his men were angry, and he was angry. Of course, this is not all contrived, after all, Azig is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and such a high-level person was assassinated by the Tokugawa shogunate, thinking about himself, he will definitely express his anger.

However, when his subordinates all asked for battle, Hauge waved his hand and said: "In battle, you must be cautious. You go down first, and wait for Nephew Ben to think about it first! ”

His subordinates were already surprised by this. is that after the master often said this, every time the master made a decision, it was basically convincing. The master no longer has the rough and impulsive character he used to have, and he has the shadow of the emperor, and it seems that he has matured.

Thinking so, his subordinate generals retreated one after another according to the usual practice, not daring to disturb the master's meditation.

As soon as the people were finished, Haoge, who pretended to be a fan, immediately transferred to the back account, withdrew from everyone, leaving only Qian Fugui, described the situation received, and then asked with a look of expectation: "What should this nephew do best?" ”

When Qian Fugui heard this, he replied to Haoge as before: "Master, the stakes are very high, give the slave a little time to think about it!" ”
