Chapter 660: Marching into Dazaifu

As soon as Nangka's words came out, not only did the generals nod frequently, but the three Fujiwara were also speechless. Let's not talk about anything else, as far as this war is concerned, Cheng Yue is meticulously planned, well prepared, step by step, commanding, and playing with Japanese generals and 120,000 heavy soldiers, if it is not for Cheng Yue, who can do it? If Cheng Yue really finally occupied Japan, how much should it be worth in terms of annihilation? Twenty million taels of silver is really nothing!

Seeing that the three Fujiwara were scolded by her, Nanga Zhen said proudly: "Do you understand? The prince was assassinated, and Da Song was shocked! As long as Japan compensates 20 million taels of silver, it has already suffered a big loss, so what do you have to complain about? ”

Senior Fujiwara took a breath and said loudly: "The princess now says that of course we understand, but who can understand it at that time?" Besides, the assassination was unsuccessful, and the king of Zhennan was not hurt at all, where is the reason to lose so much money at once? Even now, whether it is the emperor, Hojo or us, the answer is still the same sentence - impossible! ”

Cheng Yue stroked his palms and smiled: "Well said! Just because you refused, I had to bring the troops myself to fetch it myself, didn't I tell you a long time ago? ”

Hojo Somasa sneered and said, "You just landed in Kyushu, do you think you can run rampant in Japan?" The main force of the shogunate is still alive, the defense of Honshu Island is tight, my brother is in power, but you are going to attack across the sea again, how to win or lose, it is too early to say, you should be thankful that you can go back safely! ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Thank you for caring about our safety, at this moment Angier should have already laid the Red Horse Pass, tomorrow my navy will go north to reinforce the Seto Inland Sea, sweep away your naval army for me, and as soon as I arrive, I can immediately get on the ship and land on Honshu Island." All the way north to Kyoto. If you don't believe me, you might as well follow me honestly and see if I can do it. ”

Fujiwara said hatefully: "Do you want to show us off your success in occupying the entire territory of Japan? Turns out you're just a shallow villain! ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "You misunderstand me, I don't need you to admit me, I just want to execute you in front of the emperor, I think the emperor should be happy, right?" ”

Hojo Munemasa looked up sharply. Shocked, he said, "You want the Emperor and the Emperor to watch us die?" Why are you doing this? ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Most of the sins in this matter should be borne by the ruling power of the shogunate, the emperor was actually affected by Hojo Shizong, I feel a little unbearable, so I want to do something for the emperor to make up for the fright he was frightened." You say, "Am I right to do this?" ”

Hojo Somasa and Fujiwara Keizi both faintly sensed the deep meaning of Cheng Yue's words, and couldn't help but feel terrified, looking at Cheng Yue in horror, wanting to say anything but couldn't say anything.

Cheng Yue remembered his promise to Genshiro and Kikuchi Saburo, and said to Fujiwara: "That's right. I promised Genshiro and Kikuchi Saburo that I would ask you for a reward for them. When the news of their deaths came, did you reward them for their families? ”

Fujiwara Keizi had not yet woken up from the shock, and Mu Ran said: "Yes, I gave them two heavy rewards. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "That's good, I have an explanation for them." Then he said to the three of them, "You have fought for a day, so you can go back and rest first, and we will see you when we get to Kyoto." ”

Cheng Yue's voice just fell. Donal, Shi Song, and Ma Fu stepped forward in response, and each dragged one by one. Dragged the three of them out.

Cheng Yue said to the generals: "What I said to them, I also said to you, you all go back to rest, tomorrow there are many people who have to set off again, and there are many things that need to be done, so I will be here today." ”

The generals hurriedly stood up and saluted and took their leave. Soon it was gone.

Cheng Yue only left Buhumu and Meng Qi to confess a few words, and soon let them go.

The next day, the first part of the navy led by Liu Shun rushed north to Chima Pass, and Cheng Yue sent Zhang Hongfan, Ou Luchi, Li Heng, Ali Hague, and Zhang Gui to advance along the way with artillery and spearmen, and Shimazu Jiujing led 10,000 people to lead the way. The goal is Dazaifu, which is a one-day away.

Most of Kyushu's soldiers and horses died in Hakata Bay, no defeated soldiers could escape back, and the troops left in Dazaifu and several acropolis were pitifully small, plus many powerful cannons, it was a mistake to capture Dazaifu without much effort, and Cheng Yue sent so many men and weapons in order to minimize casualties.

Cheng Yue himself still stayed in Honglu Pavilion, presiding over cleaning the battlefield, compensating for casualties, and pacifying the people. At this time, it was seen that Buhumu and Meng Qi's outstanding talents were outstanding, and with the assistance of the generals, the two arranged everything in an orderly manner, and there was no need for Cheng Yue to interfere at all.

Cheng Yue was not idle, he did a whole day of surgery, and he was tired and had back pain, but he never complained, and moved his soldiers to tears. Especially the Japanese army who had just been annexed, the first time they saw advanced medical treatment, they passed it on to ten, ten to hundred, and passed Cheng Yue into a magical figure who was half-human and half-god.

Most of the nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers who died in the war were properly buried, and some of them that had begun to rot were thrown directly into the sea to avoid epidemics, totaling several thousand, so in the autumn of that year, the crabs in Hakata Bay were particularly fat and tender, and became a famous product.

Shimazu Hisashi, Kono Tsuyu, Takesaki Kicho and others asked Cheng Yue for his life to pacify the feudal kingdom near Hakata Bay for Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue ordered Zhang Wei, Fan Wenhu, and Cheng Pengfei to lead troops.

Two days later, the battlefield was roughly cleaned, Cheng Yue rewarded the whole army, and without waiting for Zhang Hongfan to return, he immediately ordered the camp to set off and march towards Dazaifu.

Zhang Hongfan and the others marched extremely smoothly, with Shimazu Jiujing opening the way for them, as well as the artillery and spearmen sent by Cheng Yue, what are the few acropolis in front of them? It only took half a day for Ohno Castle to surrender on the condition that it would avoid being slaughtered. It took some effort for the defenders of the city to say that they would not surrender the city, and they organized all the men in the city to live and die with the city.

In the past, it would have taken a lot of troops and time to attack such a small city, but now it is easier. The city of Jiyi City is very small, Zhang Gui ordered the spearmen to shoot the rope of the moat drawbridge, several spearmen with outstanding marksmanship quickly completed the task, and the drawbridge fell with a bang, which stunned the defenders!

Ali Hague opened the way with artillery and bombarded the low city gate of Jiyi City with heavy artillery, the first shot, the city wall was smashed out of a big hole, and the second shot, the city gate was blasted through! The Japanese soldiers guarding behind the city gate were killed and wounded, and the rest were also frightened by the artillery! (To be continued.) )
