The death of Saburo Matsuura left the defenders of Nagasaki without any longer to command, and the power of the Hatsuyo cannon was also fully demonstrated in this battle.

Just a few rounds of dozens of shells hit the originally impregnable city wall and collapsed a large part.

Gao Yeyi stood at the front of the death brigade and shouted: "I am willing to die for the head of the family!" "The first one rushed into Nagasaki Castle.

Later, Yan Siqi did not show weakness and led the pirates into the city. It was the first time they had entered a fortified city so easily, and in the past, such a fortified city could not be defeated without the use of human lives.

The power of the Changxing Army's artillery gave them a new understanding, and from this moment on, every pirate ranked the Changxing Army as the first existence that could not be provoked.

They rushed into the city and went straight to the bustling shops, Yan Siqi had already agreed with the pirates that the looted property would be divided into 20% for them.

When they enter the city, they target the bustling shops, and these guys are good at robbery. The first thing you do when you get to the shop is to block the ends of the street, and anyone who tries to escape from here is cut down without exception.

After blocking the streets, they began to smash doors from house to house, and those who did not resist were fine. In the event of resistance, all of them will be killed, and the whole operation is extremely efficient in a group of 100 people.

Takano didn't get involved in the robbery, and their target was the military camp in the city. The dragons in the barracks were leaderless, and the ashigaru who had fled from the castle was running around, and some of the merchants' guards were running away.

When Takano arrived, the Ashigaru were scattered and fled, and they easily took the place.

The Nagasheung army also went straight to the castle guard, where there was the treasury of Nagasaki. The profit from occupying this place is higher than robbing the store, and this is the destination of the Changxing Army.

"Is this it?" Liu Xitian asked Ichiro Yamamoto beside him.

Ichiro Yamamoto nodded vigorously, he remembered very well that he had been here twice.

"Push the cannon up!" The order was given, and the artillerymen retreated a small 3-pounder gun to the gate.

"Boom!" A cannon rang out, and half of the originally sturdy gate was blown away. Several of the Japanese warriors at the top gate inside were killed, and the Japanese warriors who were waiting further away were even more stunned.

"Rush in!" Liu Xitian was the first to rush into the courtyard with a short hammer in his hand, and a samurai ran up with a shouting and waving a sword.

Before he could run to Liu Xitian's side, he was knocked to the ground by a gun, and the remaining warriors also rushed towards the Changxing army.

The short guns that the Changxing Army equipped with artillery were definitely a sharp weapon in close combat, and there was no possibility of emptying a few paces.

The more than 20 Japanese warriors who rushed up were knocked to the ground one after another, and Liu Xitian stood in the courtyard while loading the short gun, and shouted: "Pay attention to vigilance!" Beware of the sneak attack! ”

Just when everyone was on guard, an obese middle-aged widow walked out of the house. The man was holding a white sackcloth and waving it as he went.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't fight! The former guards have surrendered! ”

Liu Xitian carefully observed the Japanese people in front of him, and said coldly: "Since you have surrendered!" Just hand over your weapons and come out! ”

"Hey!" The front guard agreed, shouted loudly behind him, and came out of the corner of the courtyard with more than forty widows.

Half of them were strong samurai, and the rest were Japanese maidens.

"My lord! Everyone in the house is here! The former guard nodded and said.

Liu Xitian also had a smile on his face, "Open the warehouse!" ”

When the former guard heard Liu Xitian's words, his face changed a few times. Seeing Liu Xitian's face turn cold, he said embarrassedly: "My lord! This way, please! ”

When the warehouse opened, Liu Xitian's eyes were not enough. Silver bars made of silver were neatly stacked on shelves, and half-man-high shelves covered the entire storeroom.

The moment the former guard opened the warehouse, he also took a deep breath, "My lord! There are more than 210,000 taels of silver here! ”

Hearing his words, all the Changxing soldiers swallowed their saliva involuntarily. How much silver is there at this time? Everyone's eyes turned red!

"Dutemu is very good! How much money is handsome, and you all touch your conscience. If you weren't for Dashuai, what kind of life would you be living now? Liu Xitian was the first to react, and his voice hit everyone's hearts like a flood of bells.

The faces of the artillerymen were flushed with shame, and their eyes had just been blinded by the light of silver. Only then did he realize that all this silver belonged to Dashuai.

Everyone who wanted to understand looked at the Japanese who showed them the way, and the fierce eyes made the former guards tremble.

"My lord! Pilgrimage please! The former guard secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, if the Akito had fought for the silver just now, he would still have the opportunity to transfer the most important goods.

When they came to the innermost, the front guard lifted the front cover and put a tarpaulin on the shelf. The moment the tarpaulin was lifted, the people who flashed with golden light were dazzled.

The whole shelf was full of gold bars, and the big yellow croaker could see the sound of inhalation in the warehouse repeatedly.

With the stimulation of Fang Cai, this time the artillerymen quickly reacted.

Liu Xitian turned to the artillery behind him and shouted, "Brothers! Move back all in! ”

The robbery went on for a day before it stopped, but it turned out to be a surprise to everyone. Liu Xitian of the artillery team actually robbed the most property, and they robbed the largest silver trading merchant in the city.

This was the place where the shogunate set up a silver exchange place in Nagasaki, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty transported copper coins to Nagasaki and exchanged them for silver to be shipped back to Japan, making a lot of money every year.

No one expected that the artillery who was originally attacking the city outside the city directly touched the position, leaving two people to guard the door, and the remaining 100 people ransacked the warehouse.

In order to bring back 210,000 taels of silver and more than 10,000 taels of gold, the artillery team actually hired coolies on the docks. With their help, it was easy to transport the gold and silver to the ship, and the others also learned the same, and the coolies who were originally the lowest are now the most popular.

When it got dark, just by robbing the shops and the wealthy Changxing army in the city, they had harvested 430,000 taels of silver, and the other goods were piled up.

Zhang Dou waved his hand, and all the boats on the dock were requisitioned. The goods in the shops and the goods in the warehouses on the docks are all loaded and shipped away.

Zhang Dou did not move for the workshops and ordinary people in the city, he had already grabbed experience in Macau. If these people are not moved, Nagasaki will be temporarily calmed down and will not affect his robbery.

Once more than 100,000 people in the city make a disturbance, even if they can quell the chaos, it will involve a lot of energy from the Changxing army.

Nagasaki was attacked by the pirates, and the jaws of the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom were shocked, and the slap smacked the shogunate's face. Originally, the sailors were mobilized to swear to suppress the rebellion and exterminate the pirates, but they were defeated and lost.

I haven't waited for the second time to form a sailor! The pirates attacked Nagasaki and not only plundered it, but also stayed there.

There is a great sense that Nagasaki will never stop if it is not scraped three feet to the ground, and the Matsuura family of the Hirado Domain has been shocked three times a day in recent days.

Whenever I saw cavalry galloping on the official road, my heart hung in my throat. Nagasaki was the only port of trade in the Wa Kingdom and was the largest source of the shogunate's expenses.

Now that he has been attacked by the pirates, he has no choice but to commit suicide by seppuku.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who fled to Hizen Province, was even more surprised to break the tea cup in his hand, which was in trouble. This was Tokugawa Iemitsu's true thoughts, and the defeat in the naval battle could also be explained by encountering a sneak attack.

The loss of Nagasaki was an unforgivable mistake, and now the only way to recapture Nagasaki and drive out the pirates is to take them back.

Otherwise, his position as the general would fall to his uncle, and he must not be loud to see such a situation, so he immediately summoned the daimyo of the former country to discuss the dispatch of troops.

But when he got the news, Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart was half cold, and as early as half a day ago, Shusuke Matsukura was summoned by Tokugawa Tadanaga to discuss the matter.

What is your uncle going to do? Is he going to send troops to Nagasaki first? If Tokugawa Tadadenaga is allowed to send troops to recover Nagasaki, his position as a general will be completely lost.

Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately led people straight to his uncle's temporary residence, but when he got there, he saw no one.

Tokugawa Tadanaga and Shusuke Matsukura had already left the city, and it was only at this moment that Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that Shusuke Matsukura had taken refuge with his uncle.

Unwilling to fail, he could only ask people to immediately go to the two feudal states of Chikuzen and Chikugo to transfer troops, and at this moment he hoped that his uncle would not be able to fight Nagasaki for a long time, and he would lead the army to attack Nagasaki in one fell swoop.

However, he knew that his idea was extremely unrealistic, and it would take three days to transfer troops from Chikuzen and Chikugo at the earliest.

Three days was enough time for his uncle to conquer Nagasaki, and the pirates were not regular troops. They will not hold Nagasaki without evacuating, and the biggest possibility is that as soon as their uncle arrives, the pirates will flee.

Does it make sense to do it yourself? Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know, but he only knew that there was a glimmer of hope if he did it, and there was no hope if he didn't do it.

In order to slow down Tokugawa Tadadenaga's march, he used his power to have people use fast horses to inform all forces along the road that supplies were forbidden to Tokugawa Tadanaga. For the position of the general, he has already fought hard.

Tokugawa Tadanaga, who was on the horse, looked down at the middle-aged man in front of his horse, and was completely furious when he was told that everyone was not allowed to provide him with any food.

He didn't expect that his nephew would put Nagasaki's safety at risk for the position of the general, and that he had an army of 10,000 people behind him.

If he didn't get supplies, he wouldn't be able to go to Nagasaki at all, and his face would be bigger and gloomy. The hand was also on the hilt of the knife, just as he was about to explode. Shusuke Matsukura said, "Where is the grain in your fiefdom? ”

The middle-aged warrior was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "Back to my lord! The villain's grain is stored in the granary at the back of the village! ”

Shusuke Matsukura smiled after hearing this, and said, "Now you immediately lead your Ashigaru to work in the fields, and you are not allowed to come back before dark." Go ahead! ”

"Hey!" The middle-aged man escaped as if he had been granted amnesty, and Tokugawa Tadanaga's hand was loosened from his sword.

He couldn't help but praise Shusuke Matsukura. "Matsukura-kun is not a loser, he is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and the little Tokugawa Iemitsu dares to oppose me again and again. When I become a general, I will send him to the land of Ezo! ”

Listening to Tokugawa Iemitsu's words, Shusuke Matsukura just smiled and didn't answer. The internal strife of the Tokugawa family is better for him to be less involved.
