Chapter 244: Bismarck in the East
Of course, this was not the focus of Yang Dongfang's attention, because in the morning, seven or eight hundred feudal soldiers gathered outside the city, and many warriors kept gathering over, all of whom rushed to rescue them from villages from all directions after hearing the news.

It didn't take long for there to be more than 4,000 people, of whom 1,500 were feudal soldiers, 1,000 were civilians with hoes and sticks, and 1,000 were samurai, all armed with katanas, waiting to be dispatched.
And outside the castle, in command of all this was Saigo Takamori, the younger brother of Saigo Takamori, a powerful minister of the Satsuma Domain, Saigo Shomichi, and Okubo Toshitsu.
Okubo Ritsu and Saigo Takamori were both among the three heroes of the Meiji Restoration, while Saigo and Oyama Iwa were among the nine elders of Japan.
So the two have a lot of power, especially Okubo Ritsu.
On the one hand, Okubo Ritsu had people shout to the castle asking for Tsushima Tadayoshi to be released, and on the other hand, he actively attacked and captured the castle.
The New People's Army asked him to stop the attack and demanded that he pay a ransom to release him, but the goods pretended not to hear, and with a wave of his hand, he let the samurai team attack first, boosting morale, and the feudal soldiers followed behind and released their guns.
"Mani, the guy in power outside took the wrong medicine, and he dared to attack regardless of the life and death of the head of the family." Yang Dongfang didn't know the Taoism in the Satsuma Domain, so he felt strange, and while asking people to find someone who was familiar with the hidden situation in it, he asked people to beat the little devil who attacked fiercely, and he would never be soft.
Soon the sound of popping beans knocked back the warriors with cold weapons, and they wanted to thank Yang Dongfang for only putting one company here, and the firepower was limited, otherwise this time the charge would be more than half dead.
However, more than 300 people died, which is enough to make people feel distressed, Saigo Congdao said worriedly: "Oku-kun, it's not okay to attack like this, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the daimyo is still in their hands, in case they get angry. . . ”
"Saigo-kun, don't mention this puppet to me, it's better if he dies, it's better for those pedantic conservatives to die, so that no one can stop the rise of our Japan, no one can stop the fall, once the curtain is successful, our Japan will usher in a new life, whoever stands in front of me, I will kill whoever is in front of me, for the rise of the empire, all sacrifices are not hesitated." Okubo Ritsu's eyes were firm, and a ruthless energy penetrated through it, and he ordered:
"Go on the offensive! Who's retreating and killing the whole family. ”
Okubo Ritsu is known as the Bismarck of the East. In order to reform the clouds, iron and blood ruthless, no matter friend or foe, all that stands in his way can only be ashes, all killed, he himself was born as a samurai, but he became the first politician of Japan's Meiji Restoration.
This time, instead of letting the samurai charge, he let the civilians charge, and the samurai sent half of them to attack from the wing, and half went to the villages below to drive more civilians to serve as death squads.
He thought of a very bloody method, which was to let the lowly civilians consume the ammunition of the New People's Army.
The Japanese civilians are actually similar to the untouchables in ancient China, they can be killed and slaughtered, and their status is very low, and the Japanese have always admired genitals, but the country is poor but they will give birth, like sows giving birth, one after another, so the country is not big, but there are too many people to pretend, and they starve to death every year.
In Okubo Ritsu, it is not the samurai who die anyway, and the civilians will starve to death sooner or later, so it is better to repay the daimyo and the country at this time.
There were samurai encouragement, and there were feudal soldiers with guns to supervise the battle to assist in the siege of the city, these Japanese civilians did not dare not rush, and rushed so fiercely that they were not afraid of death, and fell down one and then rushed down, just like cutting leeks, dead on the ground, and then in a row.
Seeing that the new people's army in the city frowned, his heart was blocked, and Mani had never seen anyone who wanted to die like this.
It turned out that Okubo Ritsu had promised these civilians that if anyone attacked the castle, they would be able to become samurai, and although they were the lowest-level samurai, they were enough to make people crazy.
Of course, there is also a great merit of rescuing the Daimyo, Wangmei quenches his thirst hanging in front of him, and they have no reason to retreat, of course, all this is a lie, Okubo Ritsu has no qualifications and rights at all.
"Day, dog, if this continues, Lao Tzu will die."
A bullet was far more valuable than a Japanese civilian, and Yang Dongfang was indignant and complained, this time understanding the reason why the British did not want to go deep into the war with the Japanese.
However, he was still very happy to see the thousands of little devils who died in the same place, so he asked people to switch to other weapons to save bullets.
At this time, someone finally reported and clarified the situation of the Satsuma Domain, and it turned out that this Shimazu Tadashi was named the head of the family, but he was actually a puppet, and the power was in the hands of his biological father Shimazu Hisamitsu, as well as several ministers Saigo Takamori and Okubo Ritsu and others.
And Shimazu Hisamitsu and Saigo Takamori have prestige in Kyoto, and they are not in their hometown, so it is a pity that Yang Dongfang can't kill all the big fish of the Satsuma Domain.
"Why should I believe you?" Yang Dongfang looked at the woman who told him everything, Miko Shimazu, the youngest daughter of the head of the previous generation of family heads Shimazu Qibin.
This woman is still very beautiful when she washes her face, eats and dresses well, naturally has fine skin and tender meat, plus she is more than 1.6 meters tall, a little taller than ordinary Japanese women, and her figure is small waist and big breasts, which still makes people feel desired.
Looking at the face shape, it is a bit similar to the old Cangshi*!
"What I said is true, Okubo Ritsu is a cold-blooded guy who only has a target in his eyes, he doesn't care about the life or death of the Daimyo, let alone our life or death.
I tell you this, first, I don't want to die, and second, I don't want to be taken away by you; You don't have to deny it, I can see that you must be trying to take us all away.
You have captured so many beautiful young women in the city, you must want to take us somewhere else, I don't want to leave the Satsuma Domain, I heard that the people who left are miserable, I don't want to be sold by you. ”
Shimazu Miko said clearly, looking very scared, full of fear of the future, the unknown is always scary.
"Okay, for the time being, I believe that what you said is true, but as a woman of the Shimazu family, I won't let you go easily, and of course I won't sell you, because you're not very stupid." Waving his hand to let Shimazu Miko take him down, Yang Dongfang set people on fire in the city, and then abandoned the city.
Only guarding the area of the Shimazu family, first put Okubo Ritsu and his feudal soldiers and samurai into the city, and he was almost numb to kill those untouchables.
"Yaga! The leader of the enemy army is a devil and an evil god. ”
Watching the fire in the city, Rao is Okubo Ritsu is iron-blooded and ruthless enough, but it is also extremely painful, and his intestines are knotted, and he is in pain.
He can not save people, but the city can not be saved, the Japanese houses are all wooden, as soon as the fire burns, into pieces, the fire quickly spreads, the red light is particularly festive, adding a touch of warmth to the cold spring in February.
Where does Okubo Ritsu still have the heart to attack, he can only let people rescue, otherwise he will burn down the city, and Shimazu Hisamitsu will definitely use a katana to chop him when he comes back.
In the end, hundreds of civilians were sacrificed to extinguish the fire, but half of the city was scorched.
What made Okubo Toshitsu vomit blood even more, the New People's Army also captured the strong young people in the city, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to him, and let people let him go, this time they would exchange him for Shimazu Tadashi.
At first, Okubo Ritsu was definitely unwilling, a puppet was worth exchanging for himself, but then, Yang Dongfang sent two companies to fight a counter-charge while they were fighting the fire, killing half of the clan and a third of the samurai.
He also asked people to pull out the young man who was arrested in front of him and behead hundreds of people, shocking Okubo Ritsu and making him understand that he was more iron-blooded than him, and he was not calling for the lives of the Japanese.
Then when he brought up the men of the Shimazu family one by one and beheaded them, and said that all this was because of Okubo Ritsu's responsibility, he couldn't be calm.
If the Shimazu family became extinct, he didn't dare to think about it.
He could ignore Shimazu Tadayoshi during the siege, but after the attack, he couldn't avoid the Shimazu family, because his current source of power was still the daimyo and the Shimazu family. (To be continued.) )
