When Zheng Zhifeng, the commander of the navy stationed in Guanhaiwei, received the report of the defeat in Zhoushan, it was already seven days later, and at this time, Shi Lang led the reorganized 150 warships to set sail north, and did not fight a decisive battle with Zheng Zhifeng's fleet, but went straight to Zhenhai and Jinshan Erwei.

Zheng Zhifeng originally wanted to pursue Shi Lang's fleet, but found that the wind direction and tide were all used to attack the south from the north.

Zheng Zhifeng had no choice but to temporarily suspend his troops and decided to wait for the wind direction and tide to be favorable before going north to fight a decisive battle with Shi Lang's fleet.

After Shi Lang's fleet arrived at Zhenhai and Jinshan Erwei, he immediately captured the military port of Erwei and attacked with Fangyuan Waterway, so that the Japanese soldiers who defended the Erwei only dared to hide in the Acropolis and could not move.

Zhenhaiwei and Jinshanwei's sea supply lines were cut off, and the Japanese soldiers in the second guard had no backup, and they were cut off from grain and grass, and they held on for ten days, robbing all the food that could be grabbed in the acropolis.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who commanded Guanhaiwei, knew that the Japanese soldiers of the Second Guard had been starved of military rations for ten days, and if the fleet was not sent to open the sea route to rescue the Second Guard, the 40,000 Japanese soldiers would inevitably be wiped out.

He repeatedly ordered Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhifeng to immediately send a fleet to fight, at least to rescue the Japanese soldiers who were besieged in Erwei, otherwise in the future, the Japanese State would not only cut off contacts with the Zheng family, but also negotiate with Fang Yuan to surrender and switch to Fang Yuan's side.

Zheng Zhilong was forced by the pressure exerted by Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and even more wanted to maintain the alliance with the Japanese state, and forcibly issued a military order, forcing Zheng Zhifeng to immediately lead 200 ships of Guan Haiwei to fight Shilang and open up the sea supply line.

Zheng Zhifeng was helpless, although the fighter plane had not arrived, he could only reluctantly lead the naval fleet composed of 200 warships to the north to have a final decisive battle with Shi Lang!

The fleets of the two sides encountered in the north of Hangzhou Bay, the time and place were favorable, and Shi Lang was ready for battle, so that the fleets from Zhenhai and Jinshan Erwei attacked the Zheng family fleet on both sides, and he himself led three new giant ships to rampage among the Zheng family's warships, and they were invincible.

The Zheng family's naval division held out for two days and two nights, and after losing 70 warships, it finally failed and retreated to Guanhaiwei.

With the loss of 25 warships, Shi Lang sank 64 warships of the Zheng family, captured 6 warships, and won another big victory.

After the Battle of Hangzhou Bay, there were only more than 120 sailors left in the Zheng family's northward division, while Shi Lang's fleet had reached 170, and the balance of victory had completely favored Shi Lang's side. After successive defeats, Zheng Zhifeng, who was inferior in both the morale of the army and the number of warships, did not dare to take the initiative to attack again, and sent a transport ship to pick up the Zheng army who captured Hainingwei, and retreated to defend Guanhaiwei.

As soon as the Zheng army retreated, the two thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry immediately regained Hainingwei. The only ones who are still holding on are the 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese soldiers of Zhenhai and Jinshan Erwei.

The Xuanjia army set up a heavy fence and a large trench in front of the second guard, surrounded the entire acropolis, and guarded it in turn with a thousand musketeers to prevent these Japanese soldiers from stealing out of the acropolis and scattering in all directions, causing huge casualties to the people of Suzhou and Songjiang Mansions.

Under the double torture of hunger and artillery shelling day and night, the Japanese soldiers held out for 20 days, but they still could not see the sailors who came to help on the sea, and they could no longer support it, so Kuroda Tadayuki sent an envoy to negotiate with Fang Yuan and was willing to surrender conditionally.

Fang Yuan took the peace talk letter brought by the envoy of the Japanese soldiers, and he didn't even read it, he just tore it up.

The invasion of the Japanese soldiers not only caused serious damage to the defense of Zhenhai and Jinshan, but also caused huge losses to the people of Taicang Prefecture and Shanghai County. It's a dream!

Fang Yuan directly beheaded the Japanese soldier envoy and hung it in front of the battle, his attitude was very resolute, he did not accept surrender, and there were only two Japanese soldiers in Zhenhaiwei, who either died in battle, or went to the sea to feed Wang Ba.

Kuroda Tadashiyuki's request for peace talks was rejected, and he had no choice but to organize 8,000 Japanese soldiers who were still active, and when he left the Acropolis gate, he began to break through.

Because of the fierce firepower of the Xuanjia army, coupled with an insurmountable large trench, the Japanese soldiers could not break through the trench at all, and after two days and two nights of fierce fighting, there were at least 3,000 Japanese soldiers killed in front of the trench and fence, and the corpses were piled up, and the stench was still repeated after dozens of miles.

The last wave of the battle of the trapped beasts of the Japanese soldiers was still a failure, and there was no follow-up offend, so they could only sit and wait for death.

Fang Yuan ordered Chigutai to lead 3,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry back to the division of Huzhou Mansion, raided Zheng Sen's main force that had not yet captured Huzhou Mansion, and then issued a military order to Jing Jie, who was besieging Jinshanwei, and also dispatched 3,000 iron cavalry to cooperate with Chigutai's offensive to attack Zheng Sen of Huzhou Mansion on both sides, and completely drove Zheng Jun out of Huzhou Mansion.

Seven days later, the Huzhou Mansion came with good news, was sniped under the Huzhou City for 20 days, demoralized, and the main force of the Zheng army, which was even more neglectful, was attacked by 6,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry left and right, and the army was defeated as soon as the battle was completed, Zheng Sen saw that he could not fight anymore, and immediately defeated the army and retreated to Hangzhou Mansion.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry pursued all the way to the Qiantang Guard, which annihilated more than 8,000 Zheng troops, including 2,000 of the most elite Tiger Ben guards. Zheng Sen's main force of 40,000 Zheng troops, after a series of battles, only 17,000 remained, and they returned defeated, and no matter how powerless they were, they did not dare to cross the Leichi of Huzhou Mansion one step further.

After another seven days, the besieged Japanese soldiers in Zhenhai Weili did not move again, Fang Yuan ordered the Xuanjia sergeant to tentatively enter the city to check, but found that the acropolis was full of the corpses of starving Japanese soldiers, at least thousands, and the entire acropolis was filled with a disgusting stench. What's even more disgusting is that there are countless corpses of Japanese soldiers who have been divided and eaten, leaving only an empty skeleton, and the muscles and internal organs have been eaten clean.

The only one who hasn't died is Kuroda Tadashiyuki, the culprit, and more than 100 pro-soldiers, but they are also dying of hunger.

Sergeant Xuanjia directly confiscated all the weapons of Kuroda Tadayuki and a group of personal soldiers, and brought them to Fang Yuan's Chinese military tent.

Tadayuki Kuroda, who had been like a lost dog before, saw the enemy boss, and suddenly came to his senses, and began to shout in Japanese, which Fang Yuan didn't understand at all.

Fang Yuan searched all over the army and didn't find anyone who could speak Japanese, but from the Zheng family sailors captured by Shi Lang, he found a pawn who had been doing business in the Ming Dynasty and Japan all the year round to come to work as a translator.

The pawn listened to Kuroda Tadashiyuki's shout, and Okahara translated, "He said that he was going to commit suicide by seppuku and would never surrender!" ”

Fang Yuan sneered when he heard this, if Kuroda Tadayuki really wanted to commit suicide, he would have committed suicide a long time ago, but at this time, he was shouting seppuku, it was just a show!

If you want to die, you will die, there have been more soldiers who have committed suicide in defeat throughout the ages, only the grandsons of the Wa Kingdom have been using this extremely exaggerated method of suicide since ancient times to put on a show, and then after public opinion propaganda, I really think that these grandsons are not afraid of death.

In the final analysis, the essence of the so-called seppuku is not at all related to not being afraid of death, but the real fear of death. If you are really not afraid of death, you should take the lead in charging and breaking through, even if you die under the fire of the Xuanjia Army, you may be able to pull a few Xuanjia soldiers to accompany the burial, instead of using the painless death method of seppuku.

Fang Yuan was going to pick up the so-called seppuku suicide of the Wa Kingdom today, so he asked the Xuanjia sergeant to loosen the tie for Kuroda Tadayuki, and handed him a handful of ribs specially used for seppuku, and ordered the pawn to translate, asking him to hurry up and take a look.

Kuroda Tadayuki took the ribs with trembling hands, and shouted at Fang Yuan again.

The pawn translator said, "He said that seppuku needs to be introduced to the wrong person." ”

The so-called wrong person is the person who beheads the person behind the seppuku, in other words, as long as the person who seppuku has all the abdomen, the wrong person will be beheaded with a knife. Its essence is not to die by seppuku at all, but to die by beheading, which is the easiest and most painless of all the ways to die. In the Edo period, I didn't even dare to use the ribs, and I used a fan to show off seppuku, which is the so-called 'fan cut'.

Fang Yuan looked at Kuroda Tadayuki calmly, smiled and said, "Ask him, death is death, where did so many tricks come from?" If you don't have the wrong person, don't you dare to cut your stomach? ”

The pawn translated the past truthfully, and Kuroda Tadayuki seemed to be insulted, and shouted, 'Yaga! He lifted his armor and raised his ribs to aim at his abdomen, but he didn't dare to take the knife because he didn't make the wrong person.

But anger is anger, Kuroda Tadashiyuki's hands holding the knife were trembling, and he hesitated for at least a quarter of an hour, not daring to swing the knife to cut down.

Fang Yuan deliberately yawned, and said angrily, "Ask him, how long will it take to cut his abdomen?" Do you want to wait for me to eat and come and see if he cuts it? ”

The generals burst into laughter.

Kuroda Tadayuki hesitated for at least half an hour, but he still didn't have the courage to cut his abdomen like this, threw away the ribs, and fell to the ground in the face of Okashihara, saying something in a dripping voice.

The pawn interpreted, "He said that he was willing to surrender, and asked the governor of Kaifang to give the conditions for his release." ”

Fang Yuan laughed and got up, pointed at Kuroda Tadayuki and said, "I've been waiting for your words for a long time, you have to say that you want to cut your stomach, wasting everyone's time, haha!" ”

Fang Yuan turned his head sideways and explained to the pawn, "Tell him that there is only one condition for releasing people, and the Fukuoka Domain will exchange it for a hundred craftsmen who are familiar with the art of clamping steel, and a thousand women between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five in the Wa Kingdom." ”

Killing Kuroda Tadashi is like killing a wild dog, in addition to venting is useless, it is better to exchange for some real benefits. The craftsmen of the Wa Kingdom were used to improve the sword casting of the Ming Dynasty, and the women of the Wa Kingdom were used to be comfort women, a tooth for a tooth.

Kuroda Tadayuki was stunned at first when he heard this harsh condition, but under the roof, since he decided to live secretly, he could only accept this humiliating exchange condition.

After dealing with the lord of the Fukuoka domain, Tadayuki Kuroda, the next turn is the Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the lord of the Satsuma domain in Kanaya.
