"Matsumae Domain? I haven't heard of it, where is his feudal country? ”

As mentioned earlier, everyone, including Yang Wenli, didn't know who these daimyos in northern Japan were, but Yang Wenli deliberately asked him in a cliché, just to know if this was Ezo Island.

"Your Excellency, the head of my family is the governor of South Ezo Province personally canonized by General Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the entire Ezo Island and the surrounding waters are the sphere of influence of our Matsuzen Domain, you have crossed the border, please retreat quickly."

"What? This is Ezo Island? Yang Wenli asked again in disbelief.

The Japanese interpreter and the other party were on the wrong course, so he nodded affirmatively and replied, "That's right, this is Ezo Island, the place of our Matsuzen Domain." ”

"Hahahaha! Very good, since you know Chinese, don't go back, stay with me and do things! ”

Yang Wenli suddenly ordered loudly: "Someone, give me an order for Yang Renri to attack the Japanese fleet in front, not a single warship is allowed to escape, and the Japanese who fall into the water can be captured." ”

"Yes," Yang Li, who was standing next to him, said loudly, and then walked out of the cabin to carry out the order.

All this changed too quickly, it was really said that he would turn his face and turn his face, which made the Japanese interpreter stunned for a while, and after he woke up, he hurriedly half threatened and half begged: "Your Excellency, my Matsuzen Domain has no grudge against you, why did you attack for no reason?" The war is together, it is the destruction of human lives, please stop it quickly.

Besides, the Japanese Empire and the Ming Kingdom have made a peace treaty and will never invade it, Your Excellency, are you not afraid of the wrath of your Emperor Majesty? ”

"Ezo Island has been my Chinese territory since ancient times, and your Matsuzen Domain dared to invade for no reason, and now I will punish you slightly, to see if your feudal lord is not knowledgeable, if you surrender with your hands, you may be spared death.

You don't need to say more, from now on, your Matsumae Domain will no longer exist, and you will have no master to serve, so you should obediently serve by my side! ”

"This ......"

The Japanese interpreter, there is nothing to say, the other party is too domineering, a word of disagreement will destroy the country and destroy the city, he said that no matter how much can not change the facts, I hope that General Shiota can give these robbers a strong counterattack, I hope that Amaterasu can bless the Matsumae family, and turn evil into good fortune.

The words were divided into two ends, one for each, but it was said that Yang Renri, who was on the alert, saw that the commander had ordered him to lead his troops to attack, so he immediately issued an attack order.

The artillery squads on each ship had long been ready for the attack, so in less than a minute, they loaded and fired one after another, and one shot was one hundred and forty shells whizzing and flying almost stationary Japanese warships a dry meter ahead.

A few seconds later, the fire and cannon roared in the Japanese fleet, as lively as fireworks at a festival, which were fireworks of death, splattering all kinds of wood chips and stumps, harvesting the humble lives of the Japanese people.

The rate of mortar fire was extremely fast, up to 15 rounds a minute, and the Japanese had less than 30 warships, not even half a minute.

Because the Japanese fleet in the distance was gone, and the two sides were separated by a kilometer, the wreckage of the ships floating on the sea was naturally invisible, as if the Japanese fleet had suddenly disappeared.

"Onward! Capture the remnants of the Japanese people. Yang Renri waited for the artillery fire to cease, and immediately gave a loud order.

How can there be any remnants of the Japanese people, the warships of the Japanese people are just some small boats with more than 100 or 200 materials, but not the large Galen ships of the Xiyi people, they will fall apart after a few cannons, and the black armor army has one round of cannonballs of one hundred and forty shells, only three rounds have been fought, and there are also 420 cannonballs, and there are as many as a dozen of them for each ship, not only the hull is scattered, but it is impossible for there to be a complete person on it.

When they arrived at the place where the Japanese stopped the boat, all that fell into the eyes of Yang Renri and a group of black-armored soldiers was the broken wood, and the corpses of the Japanese who floated and sank with the waves, and most of them were some mutilated corpses, either missing heads or limbs, or with a big hole in the body, and the scene was terrible.

"Give the commander an order, our army has annihilated the Japanese fleet, there are no prisoners, ask for instructions on the next step."

The soldiers of the Black Armor Army were all people who had seen the bloody battle, and Yang Renri immediately ordered loudly without even frowning.

Yang Wenli, who was in the back, heard the rumbling of cannons, so he led his subordinates and the Japanese interpreter to the deck to watch, and the moment they walked out, they could no longer see the Japanese fleet, even with a telescope, the place where Yang Wenli's car was located was farther away from the place where the Japanese had parked the ship, at least two kilometers apart, and naturally there was no stump and broken wood floating on the sea.

"Hello! Look at it, is your fleet still there? Yang Wenli handed the telescope to the Japanese man and translated.

In fact, there is no need for binoculars anymore, there is no cover on the sea, and the fleet two kilometers away can be seen clearly with the naked eye, but now, how can the Japanese interpreter Ren open his eyes wide, but he can no longer find a familiar warship.

He was in tears, this was all the sailor ships of the Matsumae Domain, which meant that his people could not go to Honshu Island or Kyoto to ask for help.

This group of Ming troops is too strong, this one ship alone has all the flag strength of the Matsumae Domain, but they have as many as 200 ships, and it is easy to destroy the small Matsumae Domain.

At this time, he no longer cared about his dignity, and immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground: "Your Excellency, Honorable Grand Commander, I ask you to spare this domain, and I will definitely advise the head of the family and surrender to you." ”

"Hmmm! You don't have to go back yourself, stay with me as an interpreter, and your retinue can go back to convey my will, and I will limit you to surrender within one hour of the Matsumae Domain, if not, I will send 10,000 cavalry to attack the continent, and when the time comes, I will all be reduced to slaves, including your masters. Yang Wenli responded coldly and immediately made an extremely cruel decision.

10,000 cavalry, my Amaterasu, even if it is stronger than the shogunate, it is only seven or eight thousand cavalry, and the Matsumae Domain has less than 500 cavalry, the Japanese interpreter, his heart is already desperate, and he hurriedly agreed: "Your Excellency, Grand Commander, please take a break from the wrath of thunder, I will go and talk to my entourage, and let them go back quickly to report." ”

Although he was very sad and hated the Ming Commander in front of him, he had to be extremely deferential for the sake of his compatriots in Fukuyama Castle.

The castle tower of Fukuyama Castle of Matsumae Domain, located on the castle wall of Fukuyama Castle, is not very large, three stories high, and the largest floor is only a few dozen square meters, after all, Matsumae Domain is a small feudal clan in Japan, and it is not bad to have such a scale.

Matsumae Gonghiro, the governor of the Matsumae Domain, summoned all the elders of the family to the castle tower to evaluate, and the young Matsumae Kohiro knelt and sat on his head.

Matsumae Kimihiro, who was less than 30 years old, succeeded his grandfather Yoshihiro Oysaki as the governor of the family, and was bent on developing the family business, actively developing business, and making peace with the southern Ainu patriarch, and the family territory even expanded to Tokachi in the southwest, achieving a supreme glory comparable to that of the first head of the family.

Matsumae Gonghiro looked at the retainers and samurai kneeling on the left and right, and said: "According to the report sent by Lord Shiota to report that the enemy is the Ming Sailor, the scale is very large, there are nearly 200 warships, and my Matsumae family alone is powerless to resist.

What do you have to do? Please speak up. ”

"My lord, I see that people are coming by force, and this time they will come to Ezo Land, and they must have a plan. Nishi-Ezo is a place that the general of Seiyi intends to directly command, and it must be reported, so my Matsumae family can only inquire about the news, report it to Edo, and obey the orders of His Royal Highness the general. The old Inoue of the Matsumae Domain's pen head bent down and said to Matsumae Kimihiro, and he meant to ask the shogunate for help.

Matsumae Kimihiro also agreed with Inoue's trusted approach, so he immediately ordered: "Yoshida Shinyuki, you immediately transcribe the document and report it to His Royal Highness Tokugawa, the general of the Seiyi, and when you are done, I will read the drawing in person." "Matsumae Kohiro folds a fan a little Yoshida Shinyuki.

Shinyuki Yoshida replied on the ground.

"Yuki Doi, is the clan fully equipped?" Matsumae Kohiro folds a fan a little riding general Yuki Doi.

"My lord, this domain has more than 380 horsemen and more than 460 horses, and I have been training for more than five months, so I can go into battle to kill the enemy for my lord." The tall and thin Yuki Doi, the only samurai here who didn't have Rutsuki taking the lead, bowed and replied.

Matsumae Kohiro nodded in satisfaction, because of the vastness of Ezo and the threat of cavalry from the Ainu, the Matsumae Domain had the idea of establishing a cavalry garrison during the Keihiro period, but due to financial constraints, this idea had to be shelved.

Due to the improvement of the feudal finances in recent years, Kohiro implemented it and fulfilled his grandfather's long-cherished wish, which was something he was extremely proud of, and although the less than 500 cavalry was not worth mentioning compared to the thousands of cavalry of the Kanto daimyo and the Tokugawa family, it was already an incredible skill to be such a small feudal clan as Matsumae Domain.

"Yasuda Xinsheng, the governor has handed over the flag book to you for three months of training, can you fight?" Matsumae Kimihiro turned to his subordinate Ashigaru Shogun.

"The lord can rest assured, the whole training of the flag book is completed, the soldiers and armor are complete, and the 700 troops are determined to do their best for the lord." The stout Yasuda Shinkatsu replied prostrately, the head of the moon head rising and falling comically.

Matsumae Gongguang bowed his head slightly, and stretched out his hand to support Yasuda.

"Fukuyama Castle Dai, issue a summoning order to the subordinate ashigaru, and immediately start training." Matsumae Gonghiro closed the folding fan and said, "There are only more than a thousand flags in this family, and thousands of ashigaru are still of great use." ”

Loose prospects, broad bows to promise.
