Chapter 250: Ashigaru

Amin's move is undoubtedly a secession party asking for the title of king, and if such a move had been placed a few months ago, Nurhachi would have been eradicated even if he had fought all his strength.

He didn't even hesitate to kill his eldest son Chu Ying to usurp the throne, let alone a nephew. But Nurhachi knew that he didn't have a few years to live, and that Dolgon was too young to cope with so many hungry wolf stares.

In order for someone to be able to fight against Huang Taiji, don't let Huang Taiji's family dominate. He could only pinch his nose and admit it, not only did he not hold Amin accountable for escaping, but also set his blue flag fiefdom in North Korea.

Amin's apprehension finally relaxed, but he knew that the reward was nothing more than Nurhachi's expedient measure.

As long as Nurhachi's health improves, taking him down is just a matter of words. The reason why he fell into this field was because of Zhang Dou, as long as he had the opportunity, he would not let Zhang Dou go.

Zhang Dou and his fleet were repairing on Bamboo Island, and the battle over the past few days had exhausted the Changsheng Island Navy. All types of warships in the Navy have different degrees of leakage and damage, and they urgently need to be repaired and replaced.

Artillery also needs maintenance, and soldiers need rest. Takeshima, the closest island to Kagoshima, was the first choice of the Nagako Army, a small island covered with wild bamboo. There are also Japanese people living in it, and it is just right to replenish supplies and fresh water.

The arrival of the Changxing army frightened the Japanese people on the island, and they had heard a few days ago that the main family was fighting with the Ming people.

But they were too far away for them to be part of. They still fish and farm every day, and cut down the bamboo to dry and send it to Kagoshima for sale.

The Nagaheung army shattered their peaceful life, and all the Japanese were driven to the Ryukyu islands by sea cube ships.

The men were used as an effort to build a residence for the coming Liao people. Women are the slaves and maids who are rewarded to the families of meritorious soldiers, and they no longer care about how the master's family uses the Changxing army.

After the Takeshima was emptied, the fleet of the Changxing Army was stationed here, and the fleet that had been on the expedition for a long time was repaired.

Every slight negligence will cause heavy losses in the imminent war, and the Changxing army is still very weak and cannot withstand heavy losses.

Before the war, the Changxing army had a rare few days of rest, and they lay on the beach in twos and threes to talk about family life.

"Lan Guitian! You've been married to Miss Cuiyi for two months! Is there a joy? Tao Lei sat beside him and asked.

The two became friends after they met in the wounded barracks during the Battle of Changsheng Island, and Tao Lei, who didn't talk much, and Lan Guitian, who also didn't talk much, were very talkative.

Lan Guitian spit out the grass in his mouth and said, "I don't know! Anyway, when she came out, Cuiyi often retched, and the neighbor's aunt said that it was a joy! Hehe!! Lan Guitian was smirking there.

Tao Lei leaned closer to Lan Guitian, gave him a punch in the chest and said, "Look at you, tell you!" Whether it's a man or a woman, I want to be the godfather of my children! ”

"Okay! But your godfather is so empty-handed? You have to have a decent greeting gift! Not to be outdone, Lan Guitian said.

Tao Lei hurriedly said: "The child has not yet been born and has to meet the gift, you kid is too anxious!" Rest assured, the meeting gift is indispensable for you! The marshal can say that each person in this attack on the Wa Kingdom can take three things that are no more than ten catties. At that time, Lao Tzu will give Shimazu Nakayoko's hat to my godson as a welcome gift! ”

Ma Jingbo heard their discussion and ran over, "Brother Tao! Rango! What's the greeting gift? Do you have mine? ”

"Fuck off! You're too embarrassed to grab the child's things! Ma Jingbo was kicked twice before escaping.

Shimazu Nakayoko was ready for a big battle, and in the past few days he has gathered more than 10,000 ashigaru. The number of ashigaru in Kagoshima Castle has reached 30,000, and even Minamisatsuma has nearly 10,000 people stationed there.

The large number of people made Shimazu Chuyoko very relieved, but the amount of food needed for so many people gathered together was an astronomical amount.

The price of food in Kagoshima Honjo has skyrocketed, and Shimazu Chuyoko is even more anxious. Now he hoped that Akito would come and attack Kagoshima immediately, so that he would not have to suffer such a torment.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the deadline given by Akito, and as long as you survive this day, you will know the fate of the Shimazu family.

That night, in order to boost the morale of the ashigaru, Shimazu Nakayoko began to kill pigs and slaughter sheep, so that all the ashigaru could eat a large piece of meat.

All the ashigaru felt that the head of the family was extremely benevolent and righteous, and even during the Chinese New Year, they had never eaten such food.

Shimazu Nakayoko listened to the praise of the Satsuma clan Ashigaru, and his heart was full of pride. What Ming people are strong? What Ming people are invincible? Can they beat his tens of thousands of troops? I have so many loyal Ashigaru still need to be afraid of Akito

The happy Shimazu Nakayoko was drunk that night, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day.

The hangover made Shimazu Nakayoko very worried, and he pulled the chamberlain and asked, "Is there any news of the Akito?" After receiving a negative answer, Shimazu Nakayoko's heart relaxed.

Fortunately, I didn't miss the most important battle, and Shimazu Nakayoko came to the head of Kagoshima Main Castle after a full meal, and looked at the black head of the people below, and felt a lot more stable.

He waited from noon until it was dark, and from dark until the lamp was held, but he did not see the shadow of the Ming man.

The depressed Shimazu Nakayoko scolded Akito for his shamelessness and had no sense of time at all. What about the offense? What about washing your neck and waiting for death?

The depressed Shimazu Nakayoko was drunk again, and the tens of thousands of ashigaru dinners that night turned from chunks of head to broth.

It's not like it's got to the meat, and although the ashigaru people are unhappy, their faces are still not revealed. After all, broth is rare in normal times, and it is much better to have broth than not to have it.

On the second day, Shimazu Nakayoko still got up at noon, and Akito still did not come to attack. Shimazu was disappointed again, and the dinner given to Ashigaru in the evening turned into rice balls.

The ashigaru people didn't complain either, and the rice balls were good. At least I can eat enough, and I can only eat like this when I am working at home.

Aketo didn't show up until the fifth day, and Shimazu Nakayoko's hair turned gray. If Mingren doesn't appear, the grain in his granary will bottom out.

The Shimazu family, who were not good at managing money, borrowed a lot of money from the merchants, and this time they borrowed a lot of money.

Now that the borrowed money has been spent again, Shimazu Nakayoko's mood can be imagined. The food of the ashigaru people also continued to decline according to the mood of Shimazu Nakayoko, and there was only one rice ball for dinner today. And also told that from tomorrow onwards, there will be only two rice balls per person per day.

This news almost caused tens of thousands of ashigaru groups outside the city to riot, and the two rice balls couldn't even eat enough for one meal, let alone a day's meal. A sense of discontent spread outside Kagoshima Castle, and if Shimazu had not ruled the Satsuma Domain for many years, a great upheaval would have been imminent.
