"Tiger Guard Camp!" The Tiger Guard Battalion is divided into the left and right Tiger Guard Battalions, each battalion has 2,500 people, and it is the only heavy infantry establishment in the Kyushu Army.

......Under the control and urging of the captain, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion bent their heads, hid their bodies in their shields, and launched an attack in a uniform manner. The soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion had not yet approached the enemy army, and had already suppressed the enemy army from a momentum point.

In white-knuckle combat, infantry against infantry, heavy infantry occupies an absolute advantage. In history, the Qing army suffered from the Tiger Guard Battalion. The arrival of the Tiger Guard Battalion quickly turned the tide of the battlefield, and the shogunate's death squads and the troops that followed up with reinforcements were quickly killed and retreated after a fierce battle.

And the right flank of the shogunate army was retreating at the moment under the impact of Zheng Zhiguan's army. In the formation of troops on the right flank, the armies of the various domains were placed in the front, and the recruits were placed in the rear, and once the troops in front began to retreat, the recruits in the rear were completely disorganized. As the situation became more and more serious, and the front army that fought and retreated did not begin to be chaotic, the recruits in the rear who did not know the situation thought that the front army had been defeated, and some even began to try to escape, and such a thing as escape was like a plague on the battlefield, which could quickly crush an army.

"The former army is defeated! The former army was defeated! "In the midst of such a voice, the ranks of recruits in the rear quickly collapsed. The front army, which was still in order, was also in chaos at the moment, and it was completely defeated in an instant.

The right-wing shogunate army was defeated so quickly that even Zheng Zhiguan was a little confused. Zheng Zhiguan said after a while: "Order the whole army to prepare to attack the middle army of the shogunate army from the left flank." ”

The left flank of the shogunate army was still resisting, and it was Watanabe Yoshitsuna who commanded the left flank, and he was ruthless, and the soldiers who dared to escape were killed by him on the spot, which made the 30,000 people on the left wing hold on to the present under the onslaught of the Kyushu army.

But the rout of the right wing greatly affected the morale of the left wing. On the contrary, the morale of the Kyushu army was high at the moment, and the attack on the left flank of the shogunate was even more fierce.

Under the onslaught of the Kyushu army, the first to flee on the left flank was not the new soldiers, but the armies of the various domains. Watanabe Yoshitsuna had great prestige among the recruits, but in the armies of the various feudal domains, Watanabe Yoshitsuna's influence was really limited under such circumstances.

The feudal armies can't take care of the shogunate at the moment, and saving their lives is the most important thing. With the defeat of the armies of the left flank, Watanabe Yoshitsuna could no longer stop the rout of the recruits, and he could only watch the defeat of the left flank.

Having lost the protection of the left and right flanks, the shogunate's central army soon fell into a desperate situation. Tokugawa Mitsutomo's Chinese army began to suffer pressure from three directions, moving from an active offensive to a passive defense. Tokugawa Mitsutomo knew that the defeat was decided, but he still did not withdraw, and he was still struggling to support it. It can be said that he is now fighting for the glory of the Tokugawa family.

In less than half an hour, the Kyushu Army completed the encirclement of Tokugawa Mitsutomo's Chinese army. Mitsutomo Tokugawa lost his last chance to escape.

The whole battle lasted from 6 a.m. to about 5 p.m., and the Kyushu Army won a complete victory. The shogunate's 110,000-strong army killed more than 17,000 people and captured more than 30,000 people on the spot. After this battle, there was no longer a decent army in the entire central region.

Two days later, Zheng Sen's army entered Nagoya Castle. After the army had repaired Nagoya Castle for a day, Zheng Sen divided the army into two routes and attacked the remaining cities in the central region. The armies of the two roads were overwhelming along the way, and all the feudal domains were looking forward to surrendering.

By early April, Zheng Sen had seized the entire central region. And on the eastern road, the shogunate army and the Kyushu army fought a great battle at Kurokawa Castle. The attackers in this battle became the Shogunate Army, and the Kyushu Army, led by Zheng Zhihu, stopped the Shogunate Army at Kurokawa Castle.

After besieging Kurokawa Castle for seven days, the shogunate received news of the destruction of Tokugawa Mitsutomo's army at the Battle of Kiyosu Castle, and the shogunate was forced to withdraw from Kurokawa Castle because it feared that the Kyushu army would attack the Kanto region from the west.

After the end of the spring offensive in Kyushu, only the Kanto region was left under the control of the shogunate, and all other areas fell into the hands of the Kyushu army. After this war, it was even worse for the Kyushu Army, which was already in financial difficulties. The Kyushu Army was no longer able to launch the next offensive, and in the era of widespread use of firearms, the war consumed even more materials.

Moreover, in the spring offensive, in order to win the hearts of the people, the Kyushu army did not continue to slaughter the city, and the only thing to do was to raid the feudal lords of the shogunate. But the proceeds of the raid could not make up for the consumption of the Great War.

Zheng Zhilong is now anxious to end the war in Dongying, and he took the initiative to find Wang Sai'er, hoping to borrow another sum of money from Daming.

"I can understand Prince Zheng's feelings, I can repair a letter for the prince to the emperor, and you can send Zheng Sen to Beijing on this trip." Wang Sai'er said.

Zheng Zhilong didn't expect Wang Sai'er to be so easy to speak, originally he thought that Wang Sai'er would excuse himself, but to borrow money from Daming, it was almost impossible without Wang Sai'er, so he had no choice but to come to Wang Sai'er.

Wang Sai'er was too easy to speak, but it made Zheng Zhilong worry about what the intention was, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Is it appropriate to send Zheng Sen over?" After all, he is too young, and I am afraid that he will not succeed enough to fail. ”

"The prince is afraid that the emperor will take Zheng Sen as a hostage!" Seeing Zheng Zhilong like this, Wang Sai'er said his thoughts very frankly.

"Mother's misunderstanding!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly argued.

"You can rest assured, the emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he doesn't care about such things at all, the reason why I suggested sending Zheng Sen is that the emperor mentioned Zheng Sen many times in front of me, and the emperor praised Zheng Sen and thought that Zheng Sen was a rare talent, the Zheng family's Qianli Horse and Qilin'er. This trip to Zheng Sen will definitely be successful, if it is replaced by others, it will be difficult to say. Wang Sai'er said very calmly.

Hearing Wang Sai'er's words, Zheng Zhilong was still very hesitant.

"I'll give it to you tomorrow, and it's up to you to decide who you want to send. That's all I can say. Wang Sai'er said impatiently.

"Xie Niangniang!"

……

After Zheng Zhilong returned, he immediately discussed who to send to Jingshi to borrow money. Zheng Zhilong told everyone present what Wang Sai'er said to him again.

"Your Majesty and Zheng Sen are not masked, but they have such a high evaluation, this matter is really unpredictable?" Zheng Zhihu said.

"Lord, Xu Xinsu will arrive in Osaka tomorrow, Xu Xinsu has a lot of dealings with His Majesty, and this matter will be known as soon as you ask." Zheng Zhibao suggested.

"Well, according to what the fifth brother said, we will discuss it after meeting Xu Xinsu tomorrow." Zheng Zhilong nodded.
