Ikoma Gaojun also found that the speed of filling in the outer hori was too slow, but he had already said in Shi Daxuan that he would fill the outer hori in three days, this sentence was like making a military order, if he couldn't fill it in three days, even if Shi Daxuan didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to mix under the king of Kyushu.

"Three days, you must fill up the outer hori within three days, I made a military order in front of General Shi, if you can't fill the outer hori within three days, all of you will die." Ikoma Takatoshi said coldly.

"This ......" Ikoma Takatoshi's words overwhelmed a group of subordinates.

"I don't want to die, there is only one way to go now, and I must fill the outer hori within three days." Ikoma Takatoshi said coldly.

"Yes."

After listening to Ikoma Takatoshi's words, these people didn't dare to be lazy anymore at the moment, and the soldiers rushed to fill up the outer hori overnight, and as a result, the outer hori was filled in two days.

The filling of the outer hori made the three heavy guns of Tokushima Castle completely useless, and the Kyushu army was in full swing at this moment, completely suppressing the artillery fire of Tokushima Castle, and two days later, the Kyushu army broke through Tokushima Castle.

Tokushima Castle had its darkest day ever, as Tokushima Castle was slaughtered and the entire castle burned to the ground. What Shi Daxuan didn't expect was that when he slaughtered the city, the soldiers were more brutal than the Kyushu soldiers, and the methods were more cruel, if it wasn't for Shi Daxuan's timely order, the result of Tokushima City might be that the chickens and dogs would not be left.

After a day of repairs at Tokushima Castle, Shi Daxuan and Wang Yingshen divided his troops again, Wang Yingshen went all the way to take Yamauchi Tadahiro of Tosa Kochi Domain, and Shi Daxuan went all the way to take Kato Akinari of the Mutsu Tsutsu Domain, and at this moment the Mutsu Tsutsu Domain was also breaking out in the Aizu commotion.

I don't know if it's God who blesses Zheng Zhilong to make his luck so good, three of the four powerful feudal clans of Shikoku have broken out in turmoil, and only the Tosa Kochi domain is quite stable.

In the face of the Kyushu army's approach, although the Mutsu Tsutsu Domain temporarily ended the commotion, the internal friction had made it impossible to resist the Kyushu army, and Shi Daxuan took Kurokawa Castle in one day. After taking the Aizu Domain, Shi Daxuan continued to march into the Iida Domain of Shinano Province, and Wakisaka Yasumasa of the Iida Domain voluntarily surrendered to the Kyushu Army.

And Wang Yingshen is still attacking Kochi Castle, which is a ladder-style Pingshan Castle, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Wang Yingshen fought very hard, and more than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers recruited and surrendered along the way had been lost.

After taking the Iida Domain, Shi Daxuan also returned to assist Wang Yingshen in attacking Kochi Castle. In just half a month, the Kyushu soldiers captured most of the four countries. Zheng Zhilong decided to take advantage of the victory to seize the Bizen Kuniokayama Domain, which was only a 60,000-stone feudal domain, and the current lord of the domain was Mitsunaka Ikeda.

However, Zheng Zhiguan suffered a big loss in the Okayama Domain of Bizen Province, he was too light on the enemy, and he was attacked by Ikeda Mitsunaka in a battle, and tens of thousands of troops were killed and wounded in the first battle.

"Lord Wang, give me another chance, I promise that this time I will definitely win the Okayama Domain of Bizen Province." Zheng Zhiguan pleaded.

"The Okayama Domain used to be a big domain, although Ikeda Mitsunaka is young, but there is also a group of extremely powerful strategists under his command, before this expedition, I want you not to underestimate the enemy, you are still underestimating the enemy, you are staying in Kyushu for the time being, after seizing the four countries, I don't have many people in my hands who can be used." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Big brother......" Zheng Zhiguan said reluctantly.

"Second brother, you will be in charge of the naval army in the future, and the Okayama Domain of Bizen Country must be taken." Zheng Zhilong said.

"No." Zheng Zhihu said.

Zheng Zhilong is brave and resolute, and his martial arts are outstanding, and he has the reputation of "Dragon Wisdom and Tiger Bravery" in the rivers and lakes. This time, Zheng Zhihu took over Zheng Zhiguan to go out to the Bizen Kunigangshan Domain, taking an extremely prudent approach, step by step, advancing layer by layer, and Zheng Zhihu avenged Zheng Zhiguan's 10,000 troops, and he almost slaughtered the entire Bizen Kunigoyama Domain.

And Zhu Youxiao was also very concerned about Zheng Zhilong's Northern Expedition to the Four Kingdoms, and Zhu Youxiao asked Zheng Zhilong to send war reports to him every three days by clipper. Although Zheng Zhilong didn't know why Zhu Youxiao was so concerned about Dongying's war, he didn't dare not listen to Zhu Youxiao's will.

"According to the battle report provided by Zheng Zhilong, in the first battle to capture the four countries, Kyushu lost nearly 20,000 troops, and if it uses troops against Benzhou, Kyushu will need to use at least 100,000 soldiers and horses." Zhu Youxiao said.

"According to the line report of the East Factory, the 20,000 losses are the main force of Kyushu, and if you count the surrender of troops, it will be more than 20,000." Wang Liqian said.

"I read the battle report in Kyushu and found that there are many problems, how does Dongchang explain it?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"In the battle to capture Shikoku, Tokushima Castle and Kochi Castle were the most miserable, but the biggest loss was the battle against the Okayama Domain of Bizen Province, which Kyushu is said to have lost 10,000 main forces, but all this is due to Zheng Zhiguan's greed. The battle of Tokushima Castle was okay, the main force of Kyushu did not have much loss, to the battle of Kochi Castle, the troops were reduced and lost countless times, the Kyushu army also suffered more than 5,000 casualties in Kochi Castle, in the battle of Kochi Castle, Kochi Castle was almost all soldiers, even women and children took up arms to resist the Kyushu Army with all their might, Shi Daxuan after breaking the city, it was still a bloody battle for two days and two nights before completely capturing Kochi Castle, it is said that the last surviving people in Kochi Castle are only a few hundred. Wang Liqian said.

"If the name is not right, it is not good, and the place where Zheng Zhilong suffers is here." Zhu Youxiao said, "What's the situation on Wang Sai'er's side?" ”

"According to the spies, there are no other problems on the imperial concubine's side, but neither she nor the prince can leave Edo now, and the shogunate is now extremely strict with Edo." Wang Liqian replied.

"Did Masahito have any suspicions?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"There's no news from the spies about this, but I think what's going on? Masahito can't stay until then. Wang Liqian said.

"Sooner or later, Zheng Zhilong will have a big battle with the shogunate, and when the time comes, Dongchang can take the opportunity to act and do things beautifully, without leaving any clues." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

"No."

"Having lost its control over the sea, the shogunate has always been in a situation of being passively beaten, but on land, the balance of power between Kyushu and the shogunate is still very large. If the two are compared, they should be in a state of equilibrium, and I hope Zheng Zhilong will not take it lightly and stop making mistakes again. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, the King of Kyushu wants to buy the Apocalypse Gun." Wang Liqian said softly.

"It can't be sold for the time being, and the empire's costume change can only be regarded as the beginning." Zhu Youxiao said.

……

It took Kyushu a month and nearly 20,000 dead and wounded to finally take Shikoku completely. After taking Shikoku, Kyushu's goal was set at Ezo, and now Ezo can be said to be a borderless land, and the shogunate has only one Fukuyama Castle in Ezo. Zheng Zhilong took Ezo with almost no effort.
