Chapter 283: Tokugawa Hidetada's Headache
Li Zhen heard that she was going to join the death brigade, and her face was dead, and there were all extremely vicious widows. Isn't his fifteen-year-old little fresh meat in the mouth of a tiger when he enters there? Thinking that she would have to live with a group of Japanese pirates in the future, Li Zhen shivered.
"Big brother, don't! I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Please, big brother, go and beg the handsome again! Li Zhen pleaded bitterly.
Li Kun ignored Li Zhen's pleading and said: "No one can make an exception to the rules of the Changxing Army, and it is already the best result to be able to join the death brigade. ”
"Then I might as well die!" Li Zhen shouted hysterically.
"Smack!" There was a slap in the face of Li Zhen, he covered his face and didn't dare to say anything, and he was sobbing silently.
Li Kun glared at his younger brother's eyes and said, "You have to remember that you are a member of the Li family." You also have your own responsibility to rebuild the Li family, and only by making a name for yourself in the death brigade can our Li family stand more firmly on Changsheng Island, understand? ”
Li Zhen was frightened by the appearance of his eldest brother, and he nodded mechanically and hid in his room.
On the second day, at the station of the death brigade, Li Kun led his younger brother to the door of Gao Yeshang and knocked lightly.
"Please come in!" A hoarse voice came from inside the door, Li Kun pushed the door and entered the hallway, took off his shoes and walked in with his younger brother.
It wasn't until the inner hall that I saw a Japanese samurai in his thirties wiping a Japanese sword, and he carefully wiped every inch of the Japanese knife with a snow-white cotton cloth, and his movements were extremely gentle, like stroking his own lover.
Seeing Brother Li Kun walk in, he didn't stop his movements, and still wiped the knife.
"This wafer is a gift from the head of the family on the day the death brigade was founded, and it is one of the best daggers. On the battlefield, I used him to cut off several enemy weapons and drank the blood of countless enemies. It is a part of my life, as long as the head of the family needs it, our death brigade will definitely charge forward, even if all of them die in battle! Takano Kami ignored the two people who walked into the room and said to himself.
"To join the death brigade is to treat yourself as a dead person, you can't have any idea of wanting to live, and those who dare to retreat will not only be beheaded, but their families will also be executed, do you understand?" Gao Yeyi stared at Li Zhen and said.
Li Zhen nodded mechanically, and as soon as he entered the room, he was frightened by the murderous aura emanating from Gao Ye's body. Until now, he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the widow in front of him would cut off his head with a knife.
From this day on, Li Zhen lived a hellish life, and three hundred slashes in the morning were indispensable. As long as there is a chop that does not exert all its strength, the chopping must be started again, and if you can't finish lunch, it will be canceled, and if you haven't finished it at night, not only will you not have dinner, but you will not even be allowed to sleep.
In the afternoon, he had to fight against the Japanese warriors for an hour, although Li Zhen was wearing protective gear, he was still beaten all over his body.
After dinner, she had to learn Chinese characters for an hour before she could sleep, which was Li Zhen's favorite lesson. Only then can he finish abusing this group of Japanese warriors who only know how to fight and kill.
In the first month, Li Zhen was in severe pain and couldn't sleep all night. It took him a month to get used to it, not as immature as he was at the beginning, and more masculine.
During this month, the relocation plan was officially implemented. Ships from Jangseong Island carried the Koreans on Jeju Island and sailed to the island, where they returned to Jeju Island with the Japanese people.
The Shimazu family of the Satsuma clan also got the 1,000 arquebuses and ten 3-pounder guns they wanted, and the arrival of these firearms finally gave the embattled Shimazu Nakayoko a sigh of relief.
The news that the Shimazu family had been defeated by the Ming people had already spread throughout the Wa Kingdom, and the Tokugawa shogunate was happy to see the heavy losses of the Shimazu family, who had always been disobedient.
Not only did they not send troops to help the Satsuma Domain, but they turned a blind eye to the Mukai-Domain and Higo Domain's step-by-step pressing on the Satsuma Domain.
The Higo Domain was the most active, and by the time they transferred troops to the Japanese Domain, they had already mobilized nearly 10,000 troops to send to the Satsuma Domain.
Today's Satsuma clan is a piece of fatty meat, and you can eat the meat first with your mouth, and then you can only drink some soup with your mouth.
When the firearms from Changsheng Island arrived, it was the day when the soldiers of the Higo Domain were overwhelmed. Satsuma and Higo fought at the border, and although the Satsuma clan was newly defeated, they were not afraid of life and death. It was on par with the ashigaru of the Higo Domain, and the two sides fought for three days without a victory.
Just when the Higo Domain decided to wait for the arrival of the Mukai-hsu Domain and then annihilate the main force of the Satsuma Domain in one fell swoop, the Satsuma Domain took the initiative to attack them.
This time, the Satsuma clan used the musketeers that had just been trained, and the phalanx of 1,000 people used the three-stage strike method of the Akito, and the Higo clan suffered heavy casualties.
The shelling at the critical moment shattered the backbone of Higo, and the Satsuma Domain pursued it for hundreds of miles all the way.
Very few of the Higo Domain's ashigaru were able to escape back, and the Higo Domain was suddenly beaten by Shimazu Nakayoko.
The Mukai clan was frightened by the outbreak of the Satsuma domain, and instead of taking the initiative to attack the Satsuma domain, they built a castle on their own territory to defend against the retaliation of the Satsuma domain.
Shimazu Nakayoko ignored the Mukai Domain and led a large army to attack the Higo Domain. Along the way, the large and small castles were unable to block his artillery, and it only took half a month to reach Kumamoto Castle.
Kumamoto Castle was unable to resist the artillery attack of the Satsuma Domain, and was lost in just three days. The lord of the domain, Tadahiro Kato, set himself on fire in his mansion, and the Satsuma domain succeeded in annexing the Higo Domain, completing the first step in territorial expansion.
When Mukaichi learned of Higo's demise, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for help from the Tokugawa shogunate. Tokugawa Hidetada, the shogun, was also very troubled, and Higo and Mukai were prompted by him to send troops to the Satsuma Domain.
Now that the fat queen is destroying the country, Xiang Ri is also in danger, and he can't ignore it. However, he was too weak to go on an expedition to the Satsuma Domain, so he had to send his own samurai to reprimand him.
The outbreak of the Satsuma Domain made all the Ming Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom pay attention to the firearms of the Satsuma Domain, and such a sharp firearm was definitely not cast by the Satsuma Domain itself.
After many inquiries, it was revealed that these firearms were actually from the hands of the Ming people who defeated the Satsuma Domain, and this news caused an uproar in the Wa Kingdom.
After inquiring about the price of firearms, all the Daming were tempted. Although everyone is now under the orders of the Tokugawa shogunate, who will let go of the opportunity to increase their strength.
The shogunate is the strongest, everyone listens to the Tokugawa family, if their strength exceeds the Tokugawa family, whether they listen to the Tokugawa family or not depends on their own mood.
Shimazu Nakayoko actually didn't have the extra forces to occupy the Higo domain to occupy the Mukai domain, but it was necessary to blackmail.
This dispatch of troops not only allowed Shimazu Nakayoko to repay the money owed to the Changxing Army this year in advance, but also made a lot of money. Shimazu Nakayoko, who tasted the sweetness, immediately demanded to increase the purchase of firearms and arm more firearms again.
