Seeing the large-scale rout of his subordinates, Mori Hidemoto was very unwilling, he shouted desperately, beckoning his subordinates to rush up and fight hard. As the master of the Choshu Domain, Mori Hidemoto was ambitious, and this time he came to Kyushu Island before the Tokugawa shogunate, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to expand his power.

As a result, he didn't get a little oil and water, and he lost his soldiers and lost his old capital, even if he escaped, Tokugawa Iemitsu's ruthless guy would not let him go, Maori Hidemoto was like a gambler who lost everything, he wanted to bet on the last chips and fight a salted fish to turn over.

Maybe he forgot that the salted fish just turned over and broke more and more, and would never come back to life, a cannonball exploded next to him, shrapnel flew through his neck, and when his men went to see it again, there was only a bit of flesh and skin left, and the big head, with a strong unwillingness, was completely dead, not even a little breath.

As soon as Mori Hidemoto died, all the Japanese were completely crushed, and the feudal lords who joined in the fun fled one after another when they saw that the Ming army was so strong, leaving behind countless corpses and weapons and filling the roads.

Shimazu Tadashi led his men and horses to bite Kato Nakahiro, the lord of Higo Domain, and killed all the way to Kumamoto Castle. Shimazu Tadashi immediately ordered the siege of the city, and his soldiers carried the ladder and held the rope to rush to the foot of Kumamoto Castle and climb hard.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese Kou above, once the people of the Satsuma clan come in, they will all be finished.

I saw the sword shining brightly, and people kept screaming in pain and fell down the city and turned into meat pies. Shimazu has already killed the red eye, and he personally supervises in front, whoever dares to take a step back, immediately kills.

Under Kumamoto Castle, an extremely bloody battle was staged, and the two sides were both powerful clans and neighbors, but they were more ferocious than anyone else.

Those soldiers gritted their teeth, hoping that they could swallow each other, and if you cut through them, the other party would not dodge. It would only come at it with another slash, and many times, the would-be robbers in the city fell together with the siege soldiers below and fell into a ball.

Kato Nakahiro also personally supervised the battle, and as soon as he fought, he was so frightened that he could only grit his teeth and hold on. It's not enough to be defeated. He immediately ordered that every family in the city should send a strong man to help defend the city, obviously desperate.

Just when a large number of pirates poured towards the city. Suddenly, there were several loud noises, like a giant hammer striking iron, striking the head of the city, and the entire city wall was shaking and dusty.

Kato Nakahiro's feet shook and almost fell. was finally supported by his subordinates, but there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and when he wiped it with his hand, there was a red liquid flowing out.

But he couldn't care about the physical pain. Looking blankly into the distance, I saw several huge cannons on top of a mound, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing Kumamoto Castle.

Although it is not clear the true size of the artillery. But looking at the small figures around the cannon, he almost fell down again.

Shimazu had already introduced to Zhang Haichuan that Kumamoto Castle was extremely strong, so in order to fight it smoothly. Zhang Haichuan ordered the huge cannons on the sea ships to be brought over and bombarded the city gates.

This cannon is a Western standard thirty-two-pounder cannon, and its power is unmatched. Although the rate of fire was not fast, the shells were like hammers, striking the heart.

"Domain Lord, hurry up and go down to the city!"

His subordinates braved the rain of bullets and sent Kato Nakahiro to the castle.

The battle continued, with the help of artillery, Shimazu Tadashi was more energetic, sparing the lives of his men, round after round of attacks, the city walls were full of corpses, stepping on the corpses of his companions, Kumamoto Castle seemed to be within reach.

"Hahaha, Kato Nakahiro, let's die! Whoever is the first to rush forward will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. ”

No matter where it is, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the Japanese will rush to the city. Without the command of the feudal lord, the defenders of Kumamoto Castle became more and more embarrassed, and they were defeated one after another, and the walls were breached at many points.

At this moment, the cannon sounded again, and one of the shells hit the city gate, and in an instant the city gate flew into the sky, and the bricks also shattered, and a gap more than ten meters wide appeared in front of him.

What are you waiting for!

Kill it!

The soldiers of the Satsuma clan were already red-eyed, and they were like a frenzied beast that when they entered the city, they killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw them, set fires everywhere, and burned their houses. Force the people inside to escape, and then use the katana to pick them to death one by one!

It's like entering a slaughterhouse, and the ruthlessness and madness of the Japanese invaders shocked every Ming army. Even if they faced Jiannu, the ruthlessness was a little inferior.

Sun Jiawen couldn't help but think of Zhang Ke's words, the Japanese have been established for more than a thousand years, and there have never been thinkers, they are like a group of people who have not evolved completely, and there is still half of the blood of beasts in their bodies, they have always worshiped the strong, despised the weak, bloodthirsty killing, and bullying the weak, it is completely their instinct.

Just in front of Sun Jiawen's eyes, he saw a soldier of the Satsuma Clan drag out a pair of sisters, and they actually cut off their heads directly, and cut off the two heads, tied their hair together, and then hung it around their necks, proudly showing off.

Ming Jun saw it in his eyes, he was a little angry, bastard, I don't know how many brothers are singles, it's just a tyrannical thing!

"My lord, do you want to give an order, let them pay attention to ......"

Sun Jiawen sneered: "Distressed? What is the pity of the Japanese people killing the Japanese people. After conquering the Wa Kingdom, the official will give you ten daughters-in-law, just see if your kid can hold on? ”

"Yes, twenty is no problem!" The soldier's eyes lit up and he replied loudly.

Sun Jia couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he could only kick him hard.

"Get ahead of the road."

They followed the street and rushed all the way to the Kato family's house.

This is already the last stronghold of the Japanese in the city, and the die-hard retainers are strictly guarding it, and Shimazu is leading the men and horses to attack. Helplessly, the other party fought hard, he attacked continuously, and he lost his soldiers and generals, so angry that he farted.

"Rice bucket, waste, I personally lead the troops, kill me!"

"Slow!"

Sun Jiawen stopped him and sneered, "Lord of the Shimazu Domain, don't be busy. Someone came, aimed the cannon at the house, and told the Japanese inside that if they wanted to live, they should surrender immediately, and after a quarter of an hour, the cannon would not be merciful! ”

Some soldiers who were familiar with the Japanese shouted loudly, and when the Japanese in the house heard this, they were all stunned, and someone wiped the blood from his face, hurried to the back, and told the feudal lord the news.

After waiting for a while, a white flag was picked out from the house.

Kato Nakahiro held the big seal in his hand and the ancestral saber, walked out of it step by step, saw Sun Jiawen, and took the initiative to kneel on the ground.

"Fanbang criminal ministers pay a visit to the Lord of the Celestial Empire, please accept the surrender of the criminal ministers!"

As he spoke, he respectfully lifted the tray above his head, very religious. Sun Jiawen glanced at it, picked up the katana casually, and pulled it out violently, the cold light was shining, and there was a faint bloody aura, thinking that he must have killed a lot.

Sun Jiawen sneered, and suddenly took a short knife from the attendant's hand, and asked the attendant to hold Kato Nakahiro's knife, and he used all his strength to slash it with one sword.

Hearing only the sound of the cang, the broken knife fell to the ground, Sun Jiawen looked at the broken opening, and shook his head contemptuously: "The weapons of your Japanese country are poor, too bad!" ”

Kato peeked at the broken knife, his eyes widened, and his wheezing became heavy, it was an ancestral treasure knife, and it was so wasted. He really wanted to jump up and fight hard with the other party, but the consequences of doing so were obvious, the entire Higo Domain, the Kato family, had to be buried with him,

Slowly, the tense muscles relaxed, and Kato knelt deeper.

"Hehe, even if you know each other, the official will order you to clean up now."

Kato Nakahiro nodded hurriedly, and at this time, Shimazu Tadashi also rushed over, and as soon as the two of them met, it was like a cockfight, and they suddenly came to the spirit.

Shimazu grabbed the hilt of the knife and scolded angrily, "Kato, why don't you surrender like me?" ”

"What are you, if it weren't for the army of the Celestial Empire, would you be able to enter Kumamoto Castle? It's a dream! ”

"Prisoner of the stairs, dare to be so arrogant, I will kill you!"

"Slow!"

Shimazu Tadashi turned his head suddenly, only to see Zhang Haichuan walking over with his hands behind his back. When he got to Shimazu, he snorted, and then he went to Kato, looked at it, and suddenly laughed.

"You two listen, from now on, Shimazu and Kato will swap places, Shimazu will command the men and horses of Kumamoto Castle, and Kato will command the army of the Satsuma Domain, you two remember, you will lead the troops for me and serve the Ming Dynasty!"

This move scared two people stupidly, and the boss with his mouth open didn't know what to say, but Sun Jiawen on the side stretched out his thumb in admiration.

The old man's hand is too beautiful, no matter how obedient the Japanese people seem, but they can't rest assured, they can change their positions, just to be able to check and balance each other, break the feudal circle, and force them to do their best, do things for the Ming Dynasty, if anyone dares to have two hearts, the people below will not let them go.

Shimazu Tadashi was not convinced, and he had the heart to refute that he had been killed and injured in exchange for such a result. Zhang Haichuan was extremely relaxed, and he was clearly saying: Small, you have the ability to make trouble!

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Shimazu could only bow his head and obediently go to work. It took another ten days, and the two teams were once again put in order. At this time, Ming Ruxin also took Nagasaki and had the most important seaport.

From Liaodong, from Tianjin, Shandong, supplies and personnel were sent in a steady stream, and Zhang Haichuan, who was replenished, was not ambiguous at all, and the army continued to go north and besieged Fukuoka, and after seven days of fighting, Fukuoka was looted.

The entire island of Kyushu fell under the control of the Ming army, and Shimazu and Kato played the role of the vanguard, and Zhang Haichuan was not stingy, increasing their fiefdom to one million koku.

These two guys are so happy that their noses bubble, the Heavenly Empire is different, they are really generous enough, nothing compares to the increase in strength. Gradually, the two guys went from being forced to be helpless to being willing to eat.

"It's really worthy of my father!"

The news of the seizure of Kyushu Island soon spread back to Tianjin, Zhang Ke was simply overjoyed, since years ago, a large number of Shandong refugees went north to find a way, some went to Liaodong, and tens of thousands of people came to Tianjin, without food and clothing, living a precarious life.

When the island of Kyushu is in hand, the people have a settlement.

Zhang Ke slapped the table excitedly and shouted loudly: "Come on, immediately post a notice to recruit displaced people to go to Wadao Tunken." (To be continued......)
