Zhu Houzhao has not gone out in the Mucang family mansion, but information from all over the place has appeared on his desk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Judging from the illustrated newspaper of Jinyiwei, the shepherd boy is quite well-behaved and does not make any moves.

Everywhere he went, the Mucang boy would humiliate those old opponents fiercely, and took the three hundred Liaodong iron horsemen sent by Zhu Houzhao to show off his martial arts and fox and fake tiger might.

As for the occasional disobedient daimyo, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry drew his sword without saying a word, cut off a few heads first and then walked away, showing the might of the Ming official army.

Soon, the marching routes of the two powerful daimyo territories, the situation of the mountains and rivers, and the approximate number of people were all added to Zhu Houzhao's blank map bit by bit. When all the scouts sent out, large and small, returned, the map of Kyushu in front of Zhu Houzhao gradually became richer, reaching the point of being useful.

At this time, it was already late spring and early summer, and the weather was getting hotter. The Mucang family's territory was full of Ming soldiers in short beats, practicing in the open space with bare and strong arms.

After the exercise, many Ming soldiers would go to the rivers of the territory to swim in the water and cool off.

And often at this time, Japanese indigenous women will take the opportunity to go to the river and pretend to wash clothes, often in order to earn a little silver, or simply to admire the flesh of the Ming soldiers.

As a result, many almost half-naked Japanese girls panting one after another in the grove became a spectacle in the evening.

Such a beautiful treatment made the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty linger and fall in love with this place completely.

Especially after Zhu Houzhao told them that the Japanese women in Shikoku and even other places further north were more beautiful, the desire for conquest of the Ming soldiers was unprecedentedly high.

The shepherd boy came back and appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao with a flattering smile.

"Master, great joy!" The Mucang boy prostrated in front of Zhu Houzhao's case and shouted, "Both the Okamoto family and the Du Lei family have been persuaded that they will come to see the general in seven days and ask to become the general's subordinates. ”

After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was overjoyed. If you can take Kyushu without fighting, it will undoubtedly be the best.

The Kyushu region is just a very remote area of the entire Japanese island, and further north are the Chugoku region and the Shikoku region. According to Zhu Houzhao's idea, he could take the method of devouring the tiger and drive the evil wolves in Kyushu to become the precursor of the Ming Dynasty, so that the casualties of his own soldiers could be minimized.

However, Zhu Houzhao still asked: "Why does it take seven days?" ”

Judging from the map, it doesn't take more than three days to get to where they are, whether it's from one place to another, which is why all the ninjas, whether it's from Konoha to Sand Village or Water Village, choose to walk instead of riding horses.

Mucang Boy was slightly stunned, lowered his head and looked around, and quickly said: "Several daimyo are all newly descended, and they need to prepare for a few days, and the actual time spent on the road will never exceed three days. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, the shepherd boy did not lie, which made him trust again.

Seven days later, Zhu Houzhao ordered his soldiers and horses, and prepared to accept the surrender of a few lackeys on a plain five miles away from the walled city of Mucang's family.

At this time, there were about more than 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, in addition to 1,000 Liaodong iron cavalry who followed Zhu Houzhao's side, there were about 3,000 Shenji battalion soldiers who guarded Zhu Houzhao's side and built a basic position within a radius of two miles.

The remaining thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion scattered in all directions and hid in the mountains and forests within a radius of more than ten miles around the clearing, first, to see if there would be an inexplicable ambush among them, and second, if there was a change, they could be surrounded by the people on the opposite side as a surprise soldier.

The boy was taken by Zhu Houzhao, this kid can both Japanese and Chinese, and can be used as a translator.

The other Mucang family warriors were guarded in the walled city by members of the special combat team.

Such a defense is not careless. In the final analysis, Zhu Houzhao still doesn't believe the Japanese.

Before noon, the horizon began to appear dotted with Japanese, two large and a few small, and it looked like there were about 20,000 people in it.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at the Japanese samurai wearing simple bamboo armor and hanging a sword from their waists, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Why are so many people here?" Zhu Houzhao asked Mucang Tongzi.

"Master, it seems that they really want to surrender, and they have brought all their family wealth here." The shepherd boy said excitedly.

Zhu Houzhao kicked the shepherd boy and sneered: "Are you a fool to me?" Surrender This kind of thing only needs the head of the family to come, and he is here to find trouble with so many people? ”

The shepherd boy lay on the ground and said tremblingly; "Master Mingjian, there is hatred between several daimyo in our Kyushu region, and they will inevitably take all the men and horses with them or none at all, this should be the result of their discussion, otherwise one head of the family will bring all the people and horses, and the other one will not bring any people, then there will definitely be one person who will take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to destroy the other party."

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he felt reasonable. Before he intervened, the daimyo of the Kyushu region would inevitably fight each other, and the scene he saw before he came knew how bloody and tragic the hatred between them was.

As he spoke, several daimyo who had come to surrender had already assembled at the front.

Several shabby flags were waving in the wind, and the two flags of Okamoto and Du Lei were the largest, and they also attracted Zhu Houzhao's attention the most.

The Mucang boy got up with a bone, stood beside Zhu Houzhao like a dog, and shouted to the other party's men and horses: "Okamoto is not leaky, Du Lei is light, why don't you two lead the daimyo to come to meet the master?" ”

After a shout, the opposing team immediately began to riot, and under the leadership of several daimyos, they accelerated their speed and began to run towards the Ming army, which was unsightly chaotic.

When they arrived at a place of less than a mile, the shepherd boy shouted: "This is the general of the Heavenly Army, don't you quickly bow down!" ”

With this sentence, the Japanese troops, who were still in chaos, suddenly became orderly, and even drew their swords out of their sheaths and howled to kill the Ming army.

Such a change made the Ming army, which had entered the range of the Japanese samurai's attack, stunned, and was caught off guard by a successful sneak attack, and the Ming soldiers in the first fortification were forced to engage in close combat after only having time to release a row of guns, and lost dozens of people in the blink of an eye.

The boy sneered sadly, and his shout was the signal to attack.

Tens of thousands of Japanese samurai and hundreds of Ming troops in front of them were chaotic, and the smell of blood wafted in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
