Almost none of the fifty cavalry and 200 elite samurai in front of the Shimazu family were spared, and all of them died under the guns of the five peaks maritime merchants.

At this time, Japan's steel industry was quite backward, and craftsmen could use fine work to make fine katanas and arquebuses, but they could not use thousands of catties of steel to cast cannons like China.

Buying cannons from Portuguese merchants was also very expensive, and only first-class daimyo such as Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen in Honshu could buy them in small quantities.

Although the Shimazu family is the king and hegemon in Kyushu, they can only be regarded as second-rate daimyo in the whole of Japan, and even if Kyushu has two major foreign trade ports, Hirado and Nagasaki, and they are close to the water, they still can't afford to buy cannons, and they can't fight against armed ships.

In land field battles, attacking and defending cities, the Shimazu family used regular troops to deal with the Wufeng maritime merchants who supported the old and the young, which was more than enough; But now that all the people are on board, the shotguns, the Franc machines, and the bowls are all in battle, and then the archers, iron gunners and armed ships are fighting, it is like eggs hitting stones.

finally took the army away from the port, and before Shimazu Yoshihiro had time to mourn his monkey-like "fine horses" like donkeys, Qin Lin did something even more excessive:

This guy looked down on the side of the ship, with a thief's evil smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice, shouting something, and many sailors climbed off the boat with waist knives and laughing.

What are they going to do? Yoshihiro Shimazu had a sense of foreboding.

I saw the sailors climb off the boat and slash the dead Japanese soldiers on the necks, immediately cutting off their heads. Those Japanese samurai were all shaved on all sides of their heads, and their hair was tied with a cupola in the middle, and it was really easy to grab and carry it, and it was bloody when they carried one in each hand.

And the wounded and not dead, the sailors were not polite to him, and cut off their heads alive.

The beach was silent, with occasional death-defying screams or two......

The Japanese believe in Shintoism, and if they die, they can't ascend to heaven without a head, and the Shimazu family from the generals, the elders of the family to the ashigashi, all look at the eyes, and there are even relatives on the list of the dead, beating their chests and crying incessantly, scolding the Ming people for being cruel and vicious

-- The forgetful Japanese seem to have forgotten that it was they who were going to come to Hirado to rob wealth, kill women and children, and plunder the Goho maritime merchants! Isn't it just punishment to be retaliated against now with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye?

"General, give the order to attack!" Several generals and family elders struggled to pull the reins of Shimazu Yoshihiro, and begged with red eyes: "The life of a samurai should be as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, and we would rather die in battle than give up our partners and flee in defeat!" ”

"Don't fall for the tricks of the Ming people!" Shimazu Yoshihiro shook his head firmly, and the military fan in his hand was firmly pointed to the rear, as steady as Mount Tai.

The dignified "Onishi Manzi", the first wise general in Kyushu, not only failed in the sneak attack, but also lost a big defeat, losing all the elite cavalry and samurai, and had to bear the name of cowardice, forcibly restraining the army and abandoning the heads of his comrades and retreating, Shimazu Yoshihiro's stomach turned over the river and the sea, and he was so disgusted that he was about to vomit, and his chest was faintly painful, and his heart was dripping blood.

Finally, looking at the young but vicious envoy of the Ming Kingdom on the ship, Shimazu Yoshihiro gritted his teeth and struggled to pop out four words from between his teeth: "The whole army retreats!" ”

The Shimazu army retreated once again, and although the number of casualties was less than a tenth, the morale was too low to be greater, and half an hour ago everyone was full of hope for a big robbery in Hirado, but now they were all downcast, like a defeated rooster.

On the Dafu boat, Qin Lin Jinji independently set up a pergola and put on a posture of Wukong to explore the way: "Huh~ The little devil is not fooled? It doesn't seem like it's all brain-dead......"

Takeo Kamebana was climbing into the boat with his head on his head, and when he heard this, he was so frightened that the soles of his feet slipped and he almost fell into the sea.

Damn, a famous wise general in Japan, Onishi Manzi Shimazu Yoshihiro got the evaluation in his old man's mouth that "not all of them are brain-dead"?

But think about it, compared with Chief Qin, who has unpredictable opportunities and judges yin day and night, Shimazu Yoshihiro is a fart!

"The characters of the Heavenly Empire are really extraordinary! The Japanese slaves of the Shimazu family also dare to annex the inheritance of the old lord? Phew! ”,

Kameban Takeo praised it, consciously and honorably - the Japanese samurai in the Warring States period "have a lord but no country", and he was only loyal to the lord for generations, and he had been in Wufeng Maritime Business for so long, he had long regarded himself as a confidant of Jin Sakurahime, and he completely forgot that he was actually a "Japanese slave".

Since Shimazu Yoshihiro was not brain-dead and refused to be fooled again, Qin Lin was also interested, and Jin Sakurahime ordered all of them to set sail.

Suddenly, a round thing was thrown into the sea, and with a bang, it was pulled by the string and floated again, and it turned out to be the head of a ghost soldier.

Lu Yuanzhi held a wooden pole, held it with two hands at one end, and tied a rope at the other end, pulling his head up and down on the sea.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing here?" Huo Chonglou asked puzzled.

"Fishing!" Lu Fatzi's fat round face rippled happily: "There are so many heads, it's a pity to throw it away, the fat man will see if he can catch any fish." ”

Huo Chonglou stroked his beard like a steel needle, and laughed: "The meat of this group of stupid donkeys is stinky, you can't catch other fish, at most you can catch a big king!" ”

The soldiers of the Shimazu family on the shore watched Lu Yuanzhi fishing with his head, and they were all shocked and frightened, only to feel that his neck was cold, and he was secretly frightened that if he rushed a little faster just now, wouldn't his head be used by the Ming people to fish for Wang Ba? Isn't it scary, you say?

"These Ming people are even more ruthless than the Sixth Heaven Demon King!" Arima Harumin sighed, his eyes full of fear.

The Sixth Day Demon King Oda Nobunaga? Shimazu Yoshihiro's eyes narrowed vigilantly, and he glanced at Arima intentionally or unintentionally - if Oda unified Honshu and then pounced on Kyushu with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, I am afraid that the Arima family's loyalty to Shimazu will not be higher than that of the Ryuzoji clan!

Seeing the ships of the Wufeng Maritime Merchants departing, the Shimazu army was not sorry, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Shimazu Yoshihiro ordered a few people to go to the beach to collect the corpses, and he led a large group of people into Hirado Castle, knowing that this harbor was rich in the world, and the cumbersome sandalwood cloth was something that the Wufeng maritime merchants could not take away, so they should leave a lot of valuable things.

Riding on the excitement and returning in defeat, a few scouts who ran in front responded with sad faces: "Your Excellency, General Qiqi, there are no valuable goods in the city, but there are many burnt fires, which seem to be burning spices and silk. ”

In a fit of rage, Shimazu Yoshihiro led the elders and the entourage to the tallest building in the port, the Mazu Temple, the statues and all the valuables removed, and the small square in front of the temple left a large pile of ashes and some unburned silk fragments.

"Good, so ruthless......" Shimazu Yoshihiro said these words, and he felt like the world was spinning in his head.

Several family elders hurriedly supported the general general: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency don't have to feel guilty, although you have lost your troops and lost your generals, getting this Hirado Port will not be a small help to the main family." ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro looked pained and nauseous after eating stool, and said weakly: "We, we have met a ruthless person!" Even our own cargo will be burned, our harbor and fleet will ......"

The faces of the elders of the family suddenly turned pale, and everyone's lips trembled and they couldn't say a word - in the past, they were thinking about blocking the Wufeng maritime merchants in the harbor, and at the worst they could catch the old and weak women and children to blackmail the other party to surrender, but now the Wufeng maritime merchants have sailed away, and the thousands of troops have not even caught a single maritime merchant or family member.

The other party's next revenge, they don't dare to think about it.

"Who is the envoy of the Ming Kingdom? How did he see through my surprise attack? Iga Ghost Qing would rather die than betray the Iga Kamishinobu of the master's family! Shimazu Yoshihiro was puzzled.

He would never have imagined that Qin Lin saw through the Shimazu family's treacherous conspiracy, relying not on "military analysis", but on "reasoning about the motive of the crime".

But then again, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this level of war between the Japanese Warring States Daimyo, that is, the level of the underworld fight in later generations, to be considered a crime......

As Shimazu Yoshihiro speculated, the revenge of the Goho maritime merchants came as scheduled.

A few days later, Kagoshima, Satsuma Province.

The Shimazu clan has restored the guardianship of Osumi, Hinata, and Satsuma, and is carrying out the "grand cause" of Kyushu Bubu, and their fundamental place is still in the Satsuma domain, and the busiest and most taxed seaport in Satsuma is undoubtedly Kagoshima.

Although not as prosperous as Hirado and Nagasaki, the port of Kagoshima was still crowded with merchant ships, including two-story two-story two-story boats by Koreans and ships built by the Japanese using the backward lap method. ,

The tax here, like a steady stream of blood, nourishes the Shimazu family's Kyushu hegemony strategy, importing armor and weapons, exporting tortoiseshell pearl lacquerware and sake, Kagoshima's tax revenue armed at least a third of the Shimazu army.

The sea in spring is warm and warm, the warm sun burns the sailors lazily, and the miso soup with small fish is not a delicacy, but it can also fill the belly, and it is very comfortable to have a leisurely afternoon like this.

Shimazu's family, Yamada Yushin, was ordered to guard the place, and he personally visited the docks every afternoon, and today is no exception.

The retinue of samurai prepared to reprimand the lazy sailors and make them stand up and pay their proper respects to Yamada-sama.

"Let them rest more," Yamada Yushin smiled and waved his hand: "When Hirado Port arrives, the boys will not have such idle time!" ”

All the samurai laughed in unison, and following Yamada-sama's words, their thoughts drifted to the legendary home port of the five peaks of maritime merchants, Hirado.

Soon their laughter stopped abruptly, and someone pointed to the sea level in the distance and shouted, "Yamada, Yamada-sama, what is it?" ”

At least ten heavily armed Daifuku ships came in the wind and waves, and the Wufeng flag flying high on the bow of the ship.

"Quick, evacuate the ship!" Yamada screamed in horror.

It was too late, the Daifuku ship launched the black hole hole muzzle, the Franco machine and the mother cannon sang happily, and the ships in the harbor were sunk and ignited one after another, and soon the flames were ignited......
