In the era when there is no radio, communication is definitely the biggest trouble, it is okay in the territory of Daming, after all, there is a perfect post station, Zhang Ke has the ability to know any news within half a month.

But after the army left for Japan, Zhang Ke had a headache. According to the original plan, the Satsuma Domain was first defeated, the Ryukyus were recaptured, and then the Ryukyus were used as a base to expand the land. As the so-called general will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, when he received his father's battle report, Zhang Ke's brain suddenly hurt.

Zhang Haichuan said proudly that the Japanese kingdom was vulnerable, and destroyed the Satsuma Domain in a war, and the lord of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Tadashi, had taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and would use him as a guide to take the entire Kyushu Island in less than half a year. Dad also said very domineeringly: "Kyushu is China, dare to call Kyushu Island, that is the island of China, if you don't take it, I'm sorry for the hard work of the Japanese!" ”

Seeing this battle report, Zhang Ke couldn't laugh or cry, and was a little worried, his father's Shanghai Army added up to more than 10,000. Even if Japan is a dish, fighting on its own soil, it will not be a problem to call on hundreds of thousands of troops.

Can Dad cope with it, in case of a little damage, he is very unfilial.

"Jiandou, you discuss the matter of the naval governor with the imperial court, and it is best to give it, after all, it is justifiable, if you don't give it, forget it, I have my own opinions."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it seems that there is a big matter again, do you want to go out in person?" ”

Not to mention, Zhang Ke really had the intention to conquer Wadao and wantonly slaughter, but after thinking about it, he gave up again, after all, things in the Ming Dynasty changed three times a day, and he was no longer allowed to run around.

"I'll leave it to my father over there, but I'm going to rush to Tianjin, organize supplies, and aid the Japanese side at any time."

"Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle. The humble post wished the prince and the prince of the country a victory in advance and the prestige of the island. ”

Zhang Ke laughed: "I borrow your auspicious words, but you have to prepare for Jiandou." The refugees who could not be resettled here were all organized and properly trained. They are the first batch of overseas immigrants and must not fail! ”

……

Zhang Ke was still mobilizing troops, but the Japanese battle had already begun. After the attack on the shogunate's sailors, Wajima was shaken, causing fear far greater than that of Kublai Khan's expedition. After all, there was still a kamikaze to protect the Japanese at that time, and now the Ming army has arrived at the doorstep.

The Tokugawa shogunate has been passed down for three generations, and its ruling roots are relatively strong. When the army came, most of the princes were on the side of the shogunate, except for a small number of feudal states. Their morale was high, and together they denounced the Ming army.

Actively mobilized soldiers and horses, and gathered a large number of samurai to Edo, preparing to concentrate forces, attack Kagoshima, and expel the Ming army.

Japan shared the same hatred of the enemy and actively mobilized, and the news naturally quickly spread to the Satsuma Domain.

Shimazu's face is more ugly than eating bitter melon, and people often post notices scolding him these days. He also threw leaflets at home, and several famous monks even came forward to force him to commit suicide and apologize, and stop being an eagle dog of the Ming Dynasty.

The crowd is surging, and the pressure on Shimadzu is beyond imagination.

Midnight dreams. Chang Chang was awakened by a nightmare, sweating through his clothes. Within a few days, my hair was graying and the wrinkles on my face were one after another. It's almost the same as Shar-Pei.

On the contrary, the Ming army didn't care at all, and even had the leisure to go hunting at sea. Every day, a dozen boats, dragging whales and sharks back, slaughter them on the beach.

The Ming army would have left the best part, and the offal and scraps were thrown on the beach. At this time, the Japanese people will secretly come and take away everything they can eat. It was only at this moment that the Japanese had some good feelings towards the Ming army, after all, they were much more generous than the shogunate and feudal lords.

On this day, Zhang Haichuan was dealing with military affairs, and Shimazu Tadashi walked in from outside, with a big bruised bag on his head, bigger than an egg, and walked in dejectedly.

"Old? It's a pity, these bones of yours are not blessed at all, bad reviews! Zhang Haichuan said.

Shimazu's legs went limp, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Guogong, the villain has been scolded countless times since his allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, have you seen it, the injury on his head was caused by someone throwing stones, and the villain was bullied!" Shimazu kept wiping tears and crying.

Zhang Haichuan couldn't help but say angrily: "It's a worthless thing, you are still the lord of the domain, don't you dare to kill it back?" Just cut off your head, don't tell me you haven't killed anyone. ”

Shimazu certainly killed, and a lot. It's just that he is losing his heart right now, and he can't figure out Zhang Haichuan's attitude, so he doesn't dare to do it, and he looks a little weak.

Shimazu raised his face, peeked at Zhang Haichuan, and said tentatively: "My lord, these people are trivial, but that kid from Tokugawa Iemitsu has already ordered the mobilization of all the Japanese horses, and he will be killed soon." The adult navy is invincible and comes and goes freely. But the small ones can't be done, once they fall into their hands, the Shimazu family will be completely finished...... Woooooooo ”

"Get out, to put it bluntly, aren't you just afraid that the shogunate will beat us away with a large number of people, and you will become a traitor, no, if you are a Japanese traitor, you will die, right?"

Shimazu didn't dare to speak, but buried his head deeper.

Zhang Haichuan smiled contemptuously: "I'll tell you, since Benjue is here, he won't let Japan go, Benjue has long been ready, and he will kill as many as he wants!" ”

Okay, I've become a widow myself. Shimazu didn't care about this, he was puzzled that the Ming army was not prepared at all, an army of more than 100,000, it was not a pig of hundreds of thousands, not to mention that even if it was a pig, it would take a while to kill......

"Hehe, ignorant fool, what are you hunting whales for every day? It's just to accumulate enough food, especially meat, and then there will be a big war. ”

Shimazu Zhongheng was shocked, he only thought that the Ming army could eat it, but he didn't expect it to be to prepare for the war, and in an instant, Zhang Haichuan's image became more and more mountainous, and his confidence suddenly rose a lot.

"Go and call them all, we should discuss the battle plan."

Not long after, Li Dan and Ming Ruxin rushed over, and there were more than a dozen young combat staff officers, and everyone sat together. When it came time to discuss together, Shimazu almost dropped his jaw in shock, not to mention Li Dan and others, even a few staff officers were sharp-tongued, and even refuted Zhang Haichuan's opinion in person, mercilessly.

Oh, my God. This is simply not possible in a hierarchical Japan. The most unbelievable thing for him was that the unscrupulous little old man was not angry and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

After discussing it for two days and asking Shimadzu many times, I finally came up with a plan.

Simply say eight words, to fight fast and slow, sea and land together.

The army marched north from Tsurumaru Castle and quickly seized Kumamoto Castle, and then went north to attack Fukuoka and take control of Kyushu Island. The navy, on the other hand, attacked Nagasaki and seized the main seaport. Use it as a base to receive supplies from Liaodong and guard against Japanese raids.

After the plan was formulated, the Ming army completed the mobilization in three days, and the speed was so fast that Shimazu was dumbfounded. It was only at this moment that he had an intuitive understanding of the strength of the Yizhou soldiers. Not only are they sharp-armed with firearms, but they have long since crushed Japan in an all-round way.

The Japanese have always worshiped the strong, and Shimazu Tadashi did not dare to have two hearts. can only be tied with the Ming army.

3,000 Japanese soldiers opened the way, and 5,000 Ming troops held back, and quickly went north along the coastline for more than two days. Kumamoto Castle is already approaching.

At this time, outside Kumamoto Castle, there were five or six phalanxes of large and small, almost seven or eight thousand people. These soldiers were all nearby feudal states. There are Hizen, Higo, Saga, Fukuoka, Oita, Chikugo, and so on. Among them, the strongest and most prominent combat power was the Choshu Domain, which had just arrived.

In charge of leading the troops was none other than the first feudal lord, Mori Hidemoto, who had opposed Tokugawa Ieyasu. After the Battle of Sekigahara, he was greatly weakened by the Tokugawa family and moved to Edo, where he was basically a hostage puppet.

If it weren't for the Ming army's surprise attack on the Satsuma Domain, Mori Hidemoto would not have been released, and he held back his strength to show his bravery.

When Shimazu's vanguard rushed up, Mori Hidemoto was unceremonious, waved his command knife, and the cannon rumbled.

The Japanese also got Western artillery from the Dutch, but they were scarce and did not have flowering shells. But even so, the shells fell into the army, setting off a horrific slaughter, and from time to time soldiers were shattered, breaking their arms and thighs, and falling to the ground screaming.

Mori Hidemoto smirked and swung his sword again, and his infantry pressed towards Satsuma's army with neat steps.

The Japanese are holding fire guns in their hands, and the shape is similar to the Ming army, in fact, the Ming army imitated the bird guns from Japan, although the later greatly improved, there are still some similarities.

The army of the Choshu domain rushed to about fifty paces, and the front row was on one knee, and the gunfire kept ranging, and the army of the Satsuma domain fell to the ground in response.

"Shoot, shoot!" Shimazu shouted at the top of his voice, but most of his elite soldiers died in the hands of the Ming army, and the rest were all rice bucket waste, which was not bad if it was not broken at a touch, and it was defeated and retreated.

At this moment, the Ming army had already arrived, and Zhang Haichuan did not rush to attack, watching with interest as the Japanese killed each other, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Seeing that Shimazu couldn't hold it anymore, Zhang Haichuan waved his hand.

The Ming army rushed up from the flank, and Mori Hidemoto hurriedly lined up the reserve troops to resist the onslaught of the Ming army. The two sides collided together, and a scene that surprised Maori appeared.

More than a hundred steps away, the guns of the Ming army rang out, and the huge vibration made the whole earth tremble. is also a fire gun, and the disparity in combat effectiveness is simply staggering.

A hundred paces away, the bullets of the Ming army easily pierced through the armor of the Japanese Kou, and the flesh and blood kept splattering with blood mist, which was accurate and hateful.

The Japanese were also brave, and they charged desperately to get close to the Ming army. It's just that the other party's bullets were like a storm, almost without a pause, and the dense bullets were quickly harvested, and in a blink of an eye, the ground was covered with corpses, and more than 300 would-be robbers were killed.

The absolute gap in weapons brings absolute crushing. Sun Jiawen, who was in charge of the command, was overjoyed, and he aimed at the Chinese army of Maori Xiuyuan, and the saber pointed that the Ming army rolled forward.

"Suffer death, widow!" (To be continued......)
