The ashigaru's discontent was quickly suppressed by the samurai of the Shimazu family, and a few bloody human heads shocked all ashigaru.

This is the main castle of Kagoshima, and it is the base camp of the Shimazu family. And they were just the lowliest civilians, and no samurai had to bear responsibility for beheading them.

Shimazu Nakayoko learned that the riot had subsided and was drunk again, and the next morning, an attendant came to report that an Amineto warship appeared on the surface of the harbor.

The hangover Shimazu Nakayoko jumped up from the collapse, and the ashigaru outside the castle has caused too much burden these days.

He looked forward to Akito's early arrival every day, and the news he heard today seemed to give Shimazu Nakayoko a stimulant.

He immediately asked him to be draped in colorful foot equipment, and led the elders of the family to step on the city with great dignity.

Shimazu Nakayoko pulled out a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the sea in the distance, only to see a large area of ...... on the blue sea Forehead! Baiyun .......

And there was only one sail shadow, and Shimazu Nakayoko couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously. He looked at the sea carefully, and yes! It's a Ming warship.

The Aketo warship roamed back and forth in front of the harbor of Kagoshima Honjo, firing shots in the direction of Kagoshima Honjo Castle from time to time.

The cannonballs fired from the ship were almost capable of reaching the city, and had no destructive effect on the walls. However, it was these very weak cannons that caused chaos in the castle, and they scurried around in the tents outside the castle, and in a panic, the ashigaru knocked down the stove that was about to cook.

The flames engulfed several tents, and more Ashigaru wanted to storm the castle. They were slashed by the samurai guarding the gatehouse, and hundreds of them were hacked to death.

Shimazu Nakayoko was furious when he saw this, and he shouted to the generals: "Go and tear that Ming warship to pieces for me, go quickly!" ”

The samurai, who had received the order, mounted their fast horses and ran to the docks, where there were still a dozen small early and five swank.

By the time the samurai of the Shimazu family sailed into the harbor, the Akito warship had long since disappeared.

Shimazu Nakayoko, who was kneeling indoors, held a piece of paper in his hand and trembled, just a Ming warship caused the Shimazu family to suffer heavy losses.

One samurai was killed in battle, and one hundred and seventeen ashigaru. Three tents were burned and countless others were injured. Of these casualties, only one of the ashigaru was killed by a cannonball, and the rest were casualties caused by the samurai of the city gate suppressing the ashigaru who wanted to enter the city.

The only samurai killed in battle was trampled to death by the swarming ashigaru, and when they were found, they were already in a mess.

"A Ming warship! Only one caused such a big loss to my Shimazu family. If they all come, will they still be able to kill all the Satsuma Domain! You bunch of shit! Rubbish! Shimazuchu knelt on the throne and was furious, and all the family bosses lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

After a while, Shimazu Nakayoko vented enough before asking, "Why did the Akito only send one warship?" ”

A general kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency! It is likely that the Akito were scouting the landing site, which was Kagoshima in the Satsuma Domain, and they were not familiar with the environment, so it was normal for them to send a fast boat to investigate. ”

Shimazu Nakayoko felt that his words were very reasonable, but he was really angry that Akito was so arrogant. So he said, "Send out the rest of the ships, and you must not let Akito enter Kagoshima Harbor so unscrupulously!" ”

"Hey!" The bosses of the family bowed collectively, and Shimazu Nakayoko snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The next morning, the Akito's warships visited Kagoshima's main castle harbor again, this time with three clippers.

Shimazu Nakayoko watched a naval battle from the head of the castle, which should be called a one-sided massacre.

A dozen of Xiao Zao and Seki boats faced off against the three Flying Fish Clippers, and half of them were sunk before they could get close.

The remaining Japanese boats could not catch up with the Ming clippers, so they could only be beaten passively. In less than half an hour, the warships sent out by the Shimazu family were lost, and the Ming warships once again shelled the city.

This time Ashigaru was not as panicked as last time, and although it was still chaotic, it did not cause a stampede.

Watching the Akito warship swagger away again, Shimazu Chuyoko's whole body trembled. These Ming people are so arrogant that they regard this place as a back garden, and they can come and go whenever they want.

The next day, the Akito's clipper appeared on time on the sea outside the city, and retreated after another shelling as usual.

This time, Shimazu Nakayoko didn't even go to the castle, and he sat listlessly in the house and drank alcohol. It's even more angry to go, it's better to wait here for news.

The ashigaru people seem to have adapted to the shelling of the Akito, and they should eat and drink and not be affected by the shelling at all.

Those who were killed by the shells could only consider themselves unlucky, and they still had two rice balls a day and could only move as little as possible, so that they would not be hungry quickly.

At the garrison of the Changxing Army on Takeshima, Allen stood in front of Zhang Dou and asked puzzledly: "Lord Earl!" We have few people, and if we want to take the Satsuma Domain with the fewest casualties, it is best to raid Kagoshima Castle directly. It is best to directly capture Shimazu Nakayoko and force the Satsuma Domain to surrender! If you send a ship to the sea off Kagoshima Castle every day, the Japanese must be on guard, so how can we sneak attack? ”

After listening to Allen's culture, Zhang Dou smiled and said, "How many Japanese people have gathered in Kagoshima City?" Zhang Dou didn't answer Allen, but asked a question that everyone knows. In the past few days, the Flying Fish Clipper has not wasted shells in vain, and the ashigaru running around has allowed the Changxing Army to roughly figure out the number of people.

"There are 20,000 outside the city, and there should be about this number of widows in the city!" Alan replied with his mouth open.

"How much food do so many people need in a day?" Zhang Dou asked here.

Allen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he calculated that according to the less food eaten by the Japanese people, one pound of grain a day, which is also 40,000 catties of grain. Bonus the common people in the city, as well as the consumption of high-level samurai.

Kagoshima Castle will not last for a few days, and once Kagoshima runs out of food, no matter how many people will have to disperse, the Nagashiro army will only have to go ashore to hunt down the Japanese people.

"My lord! Could it be ......" Alan said, there was a chill in his eyes, and if he followed his method, he would certainly be able to win the battle against the Satsuma Domain.

However, the strength of the Satsuma Domain is still there, and as long as you cultivate for a few years, you will definitely be able to recover your vitality. At that time, he will definitely have to compete with the Changxing army for the Ryukyus again, and Zhang Dou's method is much more ruthless.

This is to wipe out the young and strong people of the Satsuma Domain, and without the young and strong Satsuma Domain, they will fall from a strong domain to the lowest daimyo.

At that time, there was no need for the Changxing army to intervene, and just dealing with the daimyo who coveted them from all walks of life would make the Satsuma clan very busy.

The thought of tens of thousands of people going to die made Alan shudder involuntarily. He thought of some captains telling how they had killed the Mayans of South America, and the count before him was no less ruthless than the captains.

"It's better to let those widows move, so that they will consume more food!"
