3002 The robbery of pirates in the East China Sea also requires technology
While enjoying a feast in Matteo Ricci, Yarhachi, Li Sicheng, Zhang Er, and Yi Sunsin were floating on the sea northwest of Izumo Castle in the Chu* Province (Toei place name) area of the island of Honshu in the east.
As soon as the typhoon season passed, the Black Pearl, the Victory, and the Raid led a huge fleet of locusts to sweep the islands and coastal towns in the northwest of Kyushu Island. Iki Island, Fukue Island, Goto Island, Sasebo, Karatsu, Fukuoka, and Kitakyushu were all swept away. Money, food, young people, and children were all snatched away, and everything that could not be taken away was burned. Among the ruins, only wild dogs with green eyes remained.
Kyushu Island, the third largest island in Dongying, is located at the southwest end of Dongying, adjacent to the peninsula across the Chaoxian Strait in the northwest, and separated by the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea in the west. In the past, it was Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Higo, Hinata, Satsuma, and Osumi nine countries, so it was called Kyushu. Now the Shimazu clan of Satsuma on the island is still resisting the shogunate. The first to send troops to Kyushu was also a factor in supporting the Shimazu clan.
The destroyed areas also had city defenses, samurai, and heroic resistance. No matter how strong the city defense is, it can't withstand the attack of ballistas, fire and oil bombs, fire * arrows, artillery, and gunpowder * bags, and no matter how brave the samurai is, they can't hurt the heavily armored black armor army, and no matter how heroic the resistance is, they are also defeated by the battle array. Since Liaoning has already developed flintlock pistols, light field bronze cannons, and new types of rocket artillery, the models produced in the past have poured money on the enemy without any money.
Due to the feud between Chao Xian and Dongying, under the pressure of the Celestial Empire army, the Chao Xian army exerted extraordinary combat effectiveness. Reward some Dongying women with crooked melons and inferior dates, and some property, and the combat effectiveness of the sticks has doubled. In addition, the coalition forces have a complete medical system, and the stick army can not get out of the line of fire if they are lightly injured, and they will not return to the rear if they are seriously injured.
The shogunate's army collapsed, and the Shimazu clan took the opportunity to counterattack and took full control of Kyushu in less than a month. After receiving a gift from the Shimazu clan, the coalition forces had no choice but to evacuate Kyushu Island. After all, the Shimazu clan is an ally, and it can't be robbed for the time being.
Since Kyushu can't be robbed, it has to be diverted, and the Chugoku region of Honshu, which is close to Kyushu, has fallen into the eyes of the pirates. Although I have grabbed a lot before, but it is almost the New Year, I grabbed the last one before the year, so that I could go back to live the last fat year.
The term "China" refers to a region in the western part of Honshu Island, not to China. The term "Chugoku region" began to appear in the Heian period*, referring to the Sanyo Province and Sanin* Province in the western part of Honshu Island in the east, including five prefectures: Tottori, Shimane, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi. It covers an area of 31,917.37 square kilometers and is sometimes referred to as the Sanyang San'in area. The Sanyo Province of ancient Toei included Harima, Misaku, Bizen, Bichu, Bigo (Sanbi), Akikoku, Shubo, and Nagato, and the Sanin* Province included Tanba, Tango, Tajima, Inaba, Hakuki, Izumo, Iwami, and Oki, a total of 16 provinces. In the Middle Ages of Toei's history, the Chugoku region became the most prosperous area of culture and art in Toei at that time due to the lack of wars.
There is a reason why Izumo Castle was chosen as the goal of grabbing the last one before the year, and the main reason is that Izumo has "silver"!
Izumo is a city in the northern part of Toei Honshu Island, which belongs to Shimane Prefecture. Izumo is a place steeped in history and mystery, a famous mythical capital. There are many ancient shrines here, and where there are shrines, there is money, and the shrines in Toei are all places where there is a lot of money. In addition, there is Iwami Ginzan nearby, the largest silver mine in the late Warring States period and early Edo period, and its production was about one-third of the world's production at that time. Although Tsushima also has silver mines, you can grab as many as you can. What, Izumo Taisha? Come on, the Izumo Taisha Shrine was founded in 1744, so it's only 1588!
However, since this is the main island of Toei, the shogunate's army can be easily mobilized. In addition, the defeat on Kyushu Island has sobered up the shogunate, and the Ming Kingdom and the Asahi have come over! China, which was already on the front line, has increased its army a lot.
But in this world, there is absolutely no shortage of traitors. There are traitors in China, there are few traitors in the court, and there are naturally traitors in Dongying. The Izumo Niko clan only perished in 1566, and now it has only been 22 years, and there are still many remnants of sins. There is a puppet named Niko Takahisa in the hands of the Chozong clan, who claims to be the great-grandson of Niko Haruma. Around him, a group of descendants of the former retainers of the Nizi clan gathered, and they all swore to the moon that they were willing to endure hardships in exchange for the prosperity of the Nizi family. ("Swear to the moon that I am willing to suffer seven hardships and eight hardships", and go to Du Niang by myself.) )
The shrines in Toei are all wall-to-wall grass, and whoever has the upper hand will take refuge in whomever they want. Thanks to how good the Nizi family was to them before, when Maori Yuan finally attacked the Nizi family, he didn't let a single fart go, and watched the once brilliant Nizi clan finally destroy in the hands of the incompetent queen, which made people sigh and sigh. Therefore, the remnants of the Nizi family have no objection to looting the shrine under the leadership of the Celestial Army.
The main point of this attack on Izumo is "fast", and under the guidance of the Japanese traitor, in order, sweep each shrine as fast as possible. The process went smoothly, and the people of Dongying did not take into account the looting of the shrine society at all, and the private soldiers of the shrine had little combat effectiveness. What's more, the Jianrui battalion in Liaoning is all masters of climbing mountains and mountains, flying eaves and walls, killing people and setting fires.
Under the reverent gaze of the Japanese traitors and the Xian Volunteers, the Heavenly Soldiers climbed into the walls of the shrines one by one, carrying the goddess, the money box and the golden Buddha, and walked out of the gate. Then the Japanese traitors and the * Xian Volunteers swarmed up and moved out the remaining belongings and food. Except for leaving some of the property and most of the food for the Japanese traitors, the others were all moved.
On the evening of the 29th day of the lunar month, the last team returned to the ship. Under the admiring gaze of Zhang Er and Li Sunsin, the exhausted Li Sicheng collapsed on the deck very gracelessly and let Yarhaqi drag him into the cabin.
In the early morning, the sun's rays illuminated the dilapidated castle tower of Tsushima City, and Yarhaqi and Li Sicheng were enjoying the Japanese bath with beautiful women. The original meaning of bath in Japanese is bath, and by extension, bathing, but there are some differences from what we call bathing. Dongying people are not allowed to take a bath in the "bath". After washing your body in the shower, you must enter the "bath" and soak in it. It has the effect of relieving physical and mental fatigue.
Yarhaqi lay in a large wooden barrel, enjoying the massage of the smooth goddess of Toei, while drinking Toei sake in a large bowl. Although Li Sicheng also enjoyed a beautiful woman's massage, it was his concubine who gave him a massage. The Jin family's Shu Fujin, who accompanied him on the expedition to the east, did not come in, after all, he was embarrassed to look at the uncle who was hanging a big chicken.
Jin Zhixian left her in Feiala on the grounds that the fruit was small and it was difficult to go to sea. Now Li Sicheng's other pregnant wives are staying in Fei ala, and those who are not pregnant are by his side. Although Li Sicheng is only 16 years old and 17 years old, he also has four wives, four concubines, four sons, six daughters, and four in his belly. There are a lot of people in the family, so I don't grab more money, uh, how can I support my family by earning some money?! Being a man is tiring! It is not welcomed at home, just a kind of horse material. I don't know if Jin Zhixian is intentional or unintentional, and the concubines of Chao Xian are all surnamed Jin.
Don't wonder that the goddess of Dongying who has just been snatched back will be so skilled in taking a bath, you must know that in ancient times, you were favored by the goddess of the shrine and took a bath and slept with you in the shrine, that is your ancestral tomb is smoking, this is the closest opportunity to the gods. Of course, I will make a great contribution to the shrine in the future. The shrine's goddesses have been trained to bathe and sleep with the daimyo since they were children, and they are all time-tested, with a good name, a good life, and a lot of water.
Li Sicheng squinted his eyes and looked at Yarhaqi, envious of the energy of the Jin family's men. After fighting for several days in a row, and still having the energy to snap when he returned, it was as if some kind of bug had crawled up his head again, and he was holding his head high there. Leave him alone, I'm so tired! Li Sicheng slowly closed his eyes.
In the haze, a white-bearded old man reprimanded Li Sicheng very much: I am most annoyed by you robbers, there is no technical content at all. Li Sicheng really wanted to say: Robbery also requires technology. However, he couldn't even raise the strength to speak in his dreams......
