Chapter 575: The First Step in Conquering Wajima

The two soldiers lowered the rope, and a few short Japanese climbed the rope and climbed onto the tall boat, and as soon as they showed up, they caused the Ming army to laugh loudly. Frightened, the leading widow let go of his hand and almost fell. Having lost the strength to feed, they climbed onto the deck, and the laughter of the soldiers became louder.

No wonder they laughed, these Japanese are really weird, with a bare strip shaved in the middle of their heads, as if they had been licked by a tiger, how ugly and ugly it is.

Coupled with his short stature, big belly, and small legs, he looks like a clown on the stage.

Ming Ruxin walked over, looked at it a few times, couldn't help but laugh, and asked with a tiger face, "Do you know Chinese?" ”

The leader was stunned for a moment, then bent down ninety degrees and said loudly: "Understood, understood." ”

"Come with me!"

"Hey."

Several Japanese envoys arrived on the bow deck, Zhang Haichuan sat on a Taishi chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at it contemptuously.

"Tell me, what are you here for?"

The old widow in the lead fell to his knees with weak legs.

"Meet the Lord of the Celestial Empire, and may your Lord live a long and healthy life."

"Pretty good at talking." Zhang Haichuan smiled: "What's your name?" ”

"Lord Kaiyu, the villain's name is Kayama Hisataka, and he is a retainer of the Shimazu family, and he came to meet the lord on the orders of the lord of the domain."

Zhang Haichuan rolled his eyes, looked at Li Dan, and said with a smile: "What kind of thing are these feudal lords and retainers?" ”

"Hehe, Qi Yu Guogong, the Wa Kingdom has not yet been civilized, just like the pre-Qin period of the Celestial Empire, the so-called emperor, just like Zhou Tianzi, has no power. The princes were divided, and the strongest princes were the so-called shogunate. Now it has passed to the third generation of shoguns, called Tokugawa Iemitsu. Similar to our Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, there are many princes below, and the Satsuma Domain of the Shimazu family is one of the more powerful ones. And the so-called retainers are naturally the servants of the Shimazu family. ”

"Hmph, the god horse thing!" Zhang Haichuan pursed the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Where the ass is big, there are so many things." What is the emperor called, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is called the Son of Heaven, does this grandson want to take advantage? ”

Although the emperor was not very good at this time. But after all, the propaganda still says that it is the blood of God, and it is supreme. Hisataka Kayama only felt a burst of anger rush to the top.

"The Celestial Empire is a state of etiquette, and what your lord said is really incompatible with the identity of the Celestial Empire, it is really ...... Yes! ”

Before Hisakama finished speaking, he felt a chill on the left side of his head, followed by severe pain and almost fainted. It turned out that Zhang Haichuan made a backhand knife and cut off one ear.

"Tell you, when Lao Tzu was in North Korea. I cut off the ears of I don't know how many widows, and today grandpa is happy, so I will leave you one. ”

As soon as these words came out, he was so stunned that he forgot the pain.

Joke. He participated in the expedition to Korea that year, because he had defeated Yi Sunsin, which made him more confident, during the Battle of Gyeongchang. Ambushed the 3,000 cavalry led by the famous general Li Rusong, but was killed by Li Rusong, and the corpses of the Japanese were piled up into a hill. Birshan, Hisataka was stabbed. Lying in the pile of dead people, he narrowly escaped.

Until now, whenever it rains and clouds, his wounds are faintly painful, and his eyes are bloody, and he can even smell a pungent fishy smell. Since then, the terrible image of the Ming army has been imprinted in his heart.

Zhang Haichuan saw that his face was strange, he was raised by his eyebrows, and sneered: "Look at your age, have you participated in the Renchen War, have you ever been to North Korea?" ”

Birch Mountain was stunned for a long time, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"

Bang bang, bang bang, head on the deck, and in an instant it was a dark red.

Zhang Haichuan kicked his forehead with his toes, and sneered: "Don't play with these vain, Benjue has a letter here, take it back to your ear master to see, if he agrees, everything is easy to say, if you don't agree, I will destroy you immediately." ”

Zhang Haichuan waved his hand lazily, and asked people to drag Huashan Jiugao down. The soldier carried him to the side of the ship, and threw him directly into the boat without a rope, and almost killed him in this fall.

After a long time, Huashan Jiugao eased up, he picked up the envelope, opened it and watched.

As soon as he glanced at it, Kayama Hisakaka regretted it, he shouldn't have looked at it at all, and even he wanted to pull out his eyeballs.

I saw that there was no nonsense on it, and there were several direct conditions, the first was to compensate two million taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold, and one million and eight hundred thousand stones of grain; abandon Ryukyu and recognize the Ming Dynasty as the sole suzerainty of Ryukyu; Kagoshima was opened as a treaty port, allowing merchant ships to move freely and not levying taxes; Set aside a special area for the people of the Celestial Empire to live in, and allow the Celestial Empire to send garrisons to protect the safety of merchants and citizens......

If Kayama Hisataka also crossed, he would have understood that this thing was called an unequal treaty. Of course, even if it's not a crossing, you know how powerful this thing is.

Not to mention him, even his master, even Tokugawa Iemitsu, did not have the courage to agree.

But what if he didn't agree, he turned around and secretly looked at the tall sea ships of the Ming army, and suddenly felt cold in his heart.

Hisataka Kayama didn't know how to get on land, and after seeing his master, Shimazu Tadatsune, he silently presented the letter, turned around and drew his saber, and was about to cut his stomach, but fortunately, someone around him found out and stopped him.

"No, never!"

Shimazu Tadashi also hurried over, Kayama Hisaka was the oldest and most experienced under him, how could the pass let him die!

"As a warrior, not only have the courage to die, but also have the shoulders to bear, the Satsuma Domain, the Shimazu family, when it comes to life and death, we must find a way to solve the difficulties, not die casually."

Shimazu was comforting Hidaka Kayama when suddenly there was a few roars from the ships on the sea, and the cannonballs streaked across the sky and landed in Tsurumaru Castle.

Boom, boom, boom!

The loud noise shook the sky, the fire burst out, this time the Ming army was a flowering bomb, the explosion was in a radius, within a dozen steps, all the houses were crooked, and there were more than a dozen dead and wounded Japanese people.

A few shells were just an appetizer, and then every other hour, the Ming army launched an artillery bombardment. Not only cannons, but also rockets joined the group, frequently landing in Tsurumaru Castle.

Japanese architecture likes to use wood, cannonballs explode, fire everywhere, and the Japanese people run and cry in the fire, like mourning.

They had never seen such a terrible cannonball, could it be because the Japanese had done too much evil and the gods were angry? Some people ran to the shrine and knelt down to ask for protection, but then a rocket landed in the shrine, killing dozens of people on the spot, and the flames flew and swallowed up their gods.

After two days in a row, eighty percent of the residents of Tsurumaru Castle had run out, and most of the city's ruins still had thousands of corpses buried under them.

In this way, without any obstacles, Zhang Haichuan and Li Dan took great strides and set foot on the land of the Japanese Kingdom...... (To be continued......)
